Chapter 784: Down the Mountain
As soon as he left, the Empress Dowager threw the cup on the ground and said fiercely: "I don't know what to say!"
Aunt Snake saw the good white porcelain cup shattered into pieces, she frowned and said, "What are you doing with a cup to vent your anger? Why don't you give him a good beating?"
"Why did you hit him? Didn't you tell him that the Ai family forgave him?" The Empress Dowager said coldly.
"Do you think he still cares about whether you forgive him or not? What he cares about is whether you will save him. It seems that you are right to ask Zian to come back. Let him know that if he wants to survive, he still has to rely on Lao Qi." Husband and wife, don't try hard to calculate."
"Old Qi..." A trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, but then it slowly faded away, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have taught him to care about family affection at the beginning. Lao Qi, hey, he has become my hope." However, it hurt him, as long as he can be cold and vicious, it won't be like this."
Aunt Snake was rare to be comforted instead of ironic, "In this world, the people I trust the most are my relatives, who knows? Since Huizu, Murong's family has never had such a thing, no wonder you."
"The men of Murong's family all value affection, and the seventh son especially values family affection."
She thought for a while, and said: "Go and tell the emperor, let him send someone to find Lao Qi, if Lao Qi doesn't come back, Ai's family will leave immediately."
"We can't find it, can he find it?"
The Empress Dowager said indifferently: "He can't find it if he can't find it, but he has to find it."
Even if it is to whitewash the peace, it must be known that the royal brothers have not turned against each other.
Although very ridiculous.
Aunt A Snake went to deliver a message, and the emperor was shocked when he heard that, "Didn't he escape already?"
"Escaped, but disappeared." Aunt A Snake said coldly.
The emperor turned pale, "Missing? What do you mean?"
"He disappeared with injuries, and your pursuers have been following him. What do you mean?"
Feeling guilty, the emperor replied like a mosquito: "I made a decree, only to hurt but not to kill."
"It's really difficult for the emperor, who attaches so much importance to brotherhood, but if he is seriously injured, he will not die? Wouldn't the emperor's long-lived body also die? Besides, isn't there a third group of people that night? Your people won't kill you!" He, what about the third group of people?" Aunt Snake asked sarcastically.
The emperor didn't dare to take the blame, and he was indeed afraid in his heart.
He really didn't want to kill Lao Qi, and he always had an inseparable feeling for Lao Qi.
"I don't want him to die either, I just force my ancestors to come back." The emperor murmured.
"Okay, in front of my old lady, you don't have to say those hypocritical words. If you don't want him to die, if you treat him sincerely, your younger brother will never rebel or stand against you."
After Aunt Ah Snake finished speaking, she turned around and left.
After Aunt A Snake left, the emperor vomited blood again. He was heartbroken and didn't know what to do.
Things have come to this point, and he has no turning back.
Even, he didn't know why he came to this point.
It was no longer what he was familiar with, and he even hated himself.
King Nanhuai listened to Shangqiu's report quietly, and was furious, "We sent so many people, can't even catch Murong Jie? They are all trash."
Shangqiu said: "My lord, now that the Empress Dowager is back, she must know that you are making trouble."
"She has no evidence, at most she has suspicions." King Nanhuai was not afraid at all.
Shangqiu didn't speak, it was indeed true, no one was caught alive, he was dead, he walked away, basically there was no evidence.
But does the empress dowager need evidence?
Convincing the public requires evidence, and explaining to the world requires evidence.
She doesn't need it, because she doesn't answer to anyone, it's anyone who answers to her.
Shangqiu didn't say anything, and retreated silently.
King Nanhuai's eyes lit up, and he followed him into the house.
Seeing the burden on the bed, King Nanhuai sneered, "Sir, are you leaving?"
Shangqiu said quietly: "My lord, the situation is over."
"Just because the Empress Dowager came back?" King Nanhuai still sneered.
"No, no," Shangqiu smiled wryly, a little helplessly, "Actually, since the death of the noble concubine, the prince has no power to recover, it is just a dying struggle, I have followed the prince for many years, now I am leaving, please listen to me In the next sentence."
King Nanhuai said coldly: "No need, if you leave, you will regret it too late."
Shangqiu said: "As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I will not leave the prince alone, prince, let's go together."
King Nanhuai stared at him, and the anger in his eyes slowly rose, "Sir, if you want to leave, I will not stop you. After all, no one is optimistic about me now, but before you leave, help me do one last thing." , it can be regarded as repaying the kindness that this king gave you for saving your life back then."
"My lord, please order!" Shangqiu said with difficulty, ungrateful, he couldn't do it, although he has done a lot for the lord for so many years.
However, a life-saving grace was pressed down, and he had no way to escape.
King Nanhuai clung to his ear and whispered a few words.
Shangqiu's face was pale, he hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
On the cold mountain, Lingli has been collecting news from Beijing. Knowing that the Empress Dowager returned to Beijing, that Murong Jie was missing, and that Prince An and Yuan Cuiyu were rescued, she did not hide anything and told Zi'an about it.
After Zian heard this, he didn't show any particular concern, and continued to study with Xia Lin and Sun Fang'er on the antidote to relieve the backlash of Gu worms.
It wasn't until the Empress Dowager ordered someone to send her down the mountain that she suddenly softened and sat on the ground.
Lingli hurried forward to help her up, "What's wrong?"
Zi An's body was very weak, she forced a smile, "It's okay, I'm fine."
Ever since she came to Hanshan, she has been unable to sleep, no matter before or after Lao Qi disappeared, she couldn't fall asleep. When she closed her eyes, she saw Lao Qi appearing in front of her covered in blood.
you will be fine.
Zian sat on the chair, took a few deep breaths, stretched out his hand to stroke his lower abdomen, and said firmly in his heart.
The old prince An Ran did not follow down the mountain, but stayed on the cold mountain to study the antidote with Sun Fang'er.
Sun Fang'er had to get rid of the poisonous poison before he could prepare the antidote for Murong Jie.
When Zi'an went down the mountain this time, Sun Fang'er sent Zi'an off unexpectedly.
The setting sun is like blood, standing on the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery below the mountain.
Since Sun Fang'er came to Hanshan, she has become very cheerful, with more smiles on her face. Only those who have experienced it know how happy they are without being imprisoned.
"Don't worry, he will be fine." Sun Fang'er comforted awkwardly.
Even though Zian never liked Sun Fang'er, he lost the hatred he had before, and said softly, "Thank you!"
Sun Fang'er looked at her, "After you go down the mountain, tell Rou Yao for me that I'm sorry for her."
"She doesn't hate you anymore."
Sun Fang'er's face was a little sad, "Whether she hates me or not, I owe her an apology."
Zi'an nodded silently, didn't say anything, and followed Lingli down the mountain.
