Chapter 528: Su Xiao Returns to Court
Zian was secretly surprised, "What do you mean? Your blood is only so useful? What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, don't worry about it, remember what I said, although vinegar can curb Gu insects, but when King Nanhuai dies, he will still die. It's just because taking vinegar for a long time curbs the growth of Gu insects. It is slower than the mother Gu, but it only takes about half a month for you to unravel the Gu. Also, the unraveling can only start after the death of the mother Gu, because the key to unraveling the Gu is the mother Gu worm in King Nanhuai's body. Corpse."
Zian's research on Gu poison has not made any progress so far. She wanted to ask more questions, but Sun Fang'er left without saying a word, "Send your mother and your brother away, as soon as possible!"
Zi'an was shocked, and suddenly remembered that the emperor had asked about his mother. Could it be that this time he was going to tell his mother...
Zian rushed out and grabbed Sun Fang'er's arm, "The last question, is the emperor cured?"
Sun Fang'er squeezed out a weird smile, "He thinks he's fine."
She broke away from Zian's hand, "I can't stay long, the emperor sent someone to follow me, I said I was just here to get my things from the Prince Regent's Mansion, now that the things are done, I should go too."
The emperor allowed her to go out of the palace and go back to the mansion to get something, which meant that the thing was useful to the emperor, otherwise she would not be allowed to come out in person.
Zian did see someone following her, it was Eunuch Lu and an eunuch, and the eunuch was holding two pots in his hands, and Zian knew that those pots were all Gu worms.
It seems that the emperor has no doubts about Sun Fang'er.
The emperor's sudden change made Zian very puzzled.
However, thinking of the things he did to Zhuang Zhuang, I don't think it's strange.
He has always been a person who attaches great importance to imperial power. When he was ill, he had no good doctors and slowly accepted the fact that he was nearing the end, but her appearance brought him back to the center of the regime. Treat him, he thinks he will be fine, after all, he is still young.
A person who almost lost the imperial power, suddenly regained it, that kind of mentality can be crazy.
This psychology is the same as the feeling of losing a loved one and regaining it. They will cherish it even more after regaining it, and use all methods to protect it.
Moreover, in the process of regaining it, there will be an inflated mentality, thinking that he is indeed the favored one of heaven, and he will want more.
If a person has such a distorted mentality, it is very terrifying. The most terrifying thing is that this person is still the emperor, who holds the power of life and death for the people of the world.
Zi'an felt that there was a sense of danger, and King Night and King Liang could not control this kind of domineering.
Unexpectedly, Lao Qi is on the battlefield again.
Su Qing and Xiao Tuo returned to the capital at dusk two days later.
After the two returned to Beijing, they went directly to the palace to return to their orders.
It's time to leave the palace.
King Ye, King Liang, and Zhuang Zhuang are all in the Prince Regent's Mansion, and Taijun Chen was also dragged here by Liu Liu, waiting for the two of them together, because Zhuang Zhuang sent someone at the gate of the palace to send a message to the two of them, telling them to come as soon as they leave the palace The Regent's House is here.
Xiao Tuo and Su Qing were very tired when they entered the door, their faces were full of dust, and they looked listless.
When Liu Liu saw Xiao Tuo, she rushed over, but didn't get too close, and looked at him nervously, her eyes sparkling.
On the contrary, Xiao Tuo smiled, "You've lost weight." He stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair, then rubbed her face. With so many people present, of course they wouldn't hug her, and they don't have such an open folk style.
Liu Liu also smiled, with tears in her eyelashes, "Although I shouldn't be happy that you were replaced, I was very happy to see you, and I was actually very happy that the emperor removed you."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, this sincere girl.
Because of this sentence, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed, and everyone's tense nerves were relaxed.
Two people were invited in, and after sitting down, they both drank a large cup of tea and asked in unison, "Is there any more?"
"Are you so thirsty? Didn't you even drool in the palace?" Chen Taijun frowned.
The faces of the two were extremely pale, their lips were dry, and they looked really thirsty.
"Where is there tea? We waited in Xiwei Palace for an hour before the emperor received us. We couldn't see him through the curtain. He asked us a lot, and he had to understand every bit of it. Lips and tongue are dry, so I don't give a drop of water to drink." Su Qing complained.
Everyone looked at each other, and the Night King said indifferently: "I don't know, I thought it was him who was recruited by the royal driver."
Zian looked at Xiao Tuo, "My lord... how are you?"
"Okay." Xiao Tuo smiled, "Of course he's good."
This smile is a little... weird.
Zi'an felt a little... uneasy!
"By the way, the Beimo army retreated thirty miles, what did you find?" Chen Taijun was more concerned about the war.
"Do you need to ask? Thirty miles back is Heihe. Our army is not good at water warfare, and we don't have enough warships. Once we start a battle in Heihe, how can we win? This is Qin Zhou's trick to lure the enemy." .” Su Qing said.
"Then, in fact, the emperor's will has reached the hands of the prince?" Chen Taijun asked again.
"I saw the imperial decree, but we can't attack, we'll fall into the trap if we attack." Xiao Tuo said.
"Well, it's true that you can't attack." Chen Taijun pondered for a while, "Then what's the plan of the prince? It's not a solution to waste like this."
Su Qing said: "There is a plan, but the emperor will definitely not agree. Moreover, the court has been controlling the war, which is not good for our army. Therefore, the prince has made a decision. As for the decision, because it involves military secrets, it cannot be said for the time being. .”
Hearing that Murong Jie had made a decision, everyone relaxed a little.
Su Qing asked suddenly: "By the way, on our way back to Beijing, we heard that the imperial concubine was captured and died in the prison. What's going on?"
King Liang told all about how the noble concubine was captured by King Nanhuai after being assassinated and escaped.
"So that's how it is. We knew about the assassination, and we also knew that the princess was arrested, and the hidden guard came to report it, but we didn't know about the farce-like ending."
Zian looked at Su Qing nervously, "What does the prince think about the assassination?"
"Ask him yourself... When he comes back." Su Qing said.
Zian frowned, "What's the matter with you? You seem to have reserved your words. Could it be that we don't even believe us when we go out?"
Xiao Tuo shook his head, "No, maybe you're tired?"
Zian saw that the two of them were really tired, they came back from the wind and slept in the open, without taking a sip of water, they went to the palace non-stop to report on their duties, how could they not be tired?
"Okay, let's stop talking, let's eat first. I've ordered someone to prepare the food and drinks for you to clean up." Zian hurriedly ordered people to serve the food.
Xiao Tuo shouted: "Yes, quickly serve the food and drink, I'm almost starving to death."
The food was very rich, and the dishes selected by Zian personally catered to the tastes of the two of them. This meal, the two of them ate like crazy, and after a while, the plates were empty, and the two of them seemed to still have more to say.
