"Princess... Your Majesty is also sick?" Hearing this, Jun Aoyan was a little worried.
"..."
Having said this, the Queen Mother indeed has nothing worth hiding anymore. She trusts them - from the beginning, except for the imperial advisor, she even outdoes her civil and military officials. After all, she has seen too much with her sick body. Of course they
I will not betray her trust, but it will take some psychological foreshadowing and preparation for her to reveal all her details when she has just woken up and knows almost nothing about the current situation.
"Leader of the Xiangyin Sect, you must be the one who entrusted me." The Queen Mother suddenly mentioned this matter.
"yes……"
"It seems like you didn't bring him back."
"Yes, but we have news about him." Liu Shenghan grasped the words, "If you want, we can tell you slowly. Bai Shaoxia was the last person to have contact with him. You can wait for him to come back. Before that,
If you have anything else to say about His Majesty, we will listen to it; if you want to entrust us with anything, we will also do it."
Jun Aoyan looked at Shenghan. When she said these words, she was so sincere that it was hard to imagine that the culprit who caused the fire in the Queen Mother's palace was actually right in front of the Queen Mother - this gentle woman.
But how could she be a villain...
"Then I'll ask you personally when Bai Shaoxia has time. It seems like there's no good news."
They all knew that after so many years, in her heart, the prince-in-law was finally dead.
"Well, I have something to ask the Queen Mother." After Liu Shenghan said this, the Queen Mother nodded, and then she asked, "Do you know what the magic circle under your bed... actually does?"
"Know."
"...If this is the case, then I also know your attitude."
Shenghan's expression was a little regretful, but Aoyan guessed that the Queen Mother couldn't see it. After all, her expressions were always so subtle and difficult to figure out. Only after being together for a long time could others notice something.
"That's the life-extending magic circle."
"What——" As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Jun Aoyan was startled.
"Your trust in the Imperial Master has always been very deep, even now." Liu Shenghan showed a tired smile, "But it is not so much about renewing one's life as it is about exchanging one's life."
The Queen Mother said nothing and seemed not to care about the name of this formation.
"Exchanging lives? What are you...what are you talking about?"
Jun Aoyan was a little nervous. She clenched her hands. Mo Dao was placed outside the door and was guarded by guards. She seemed a little insecure now. Those words that sounded strange but strange seemed to mean something unusual.
Bad things.
Liu Shenghan sighed softly.
"Your Majesty is dead."
It is certainly not Bai Ya's style to chase aimlessly out of the palace. Although he doesn't like to ask for directions, he has never been stingy with a few words when it's time to open his mouth. He asked some people, but he didn't get any response from His Majesty.
According to the news, the gatekeepers even said that His Majesty never left the palace from beginning to end - they didn't see him anyway.
The imperial city architecture of Ge Shen Kingdom is far inferior to what Bai Ya knew about the imperial city in his hometown. However, stepping on these golden bricks and blue tiles with Qinggong is naturally very rude and offensive. But it doesn't matter.
As long as he is not seen, then there is no one, and as long as he is not caught, then there is no crime. Even if he is not allowed to jump around, so what? He is the Queen Mother's savior.
Just as Liu Shenghan said.
When I think of her always calm and calm expression at that time,
Seeing this, Bai Ya couldn't help but frown. He didn't hate Liu Shenghan, he had never hated her before. Rather, he had always been more fond of capable women. He just didn't like her style.
Bai Ya returned to the vicinity of the Queen Mother's palace. There were only a few ordinary guards standing here guarding the scene, nothing special. He wanted to say hello and entered the smoke-dark and dangerous building, which looked like it would be destroyed at any time.
The collapsed building. But he thought about it and found it troublesome, so he gave up. He chose to climb in from the tree on the side of the palace.
Although the dust has dispersed, there is still a bitter and sweet smell in the air, which is the unique smell after burning earth and wood. Bai Ya turned around and walked over and found a figure curled up under the corner. It was a child.
, leaning against the wall, slumped there, seemingly without any strength.
How could there be a child of unknown origin in the palace? If Bai Ya hadn't noticed the feather crown on her head, he would not have realized at the first moment that it turned out to be the little Majesty Qiu Weiyu. The clothes she wore were ordinary colors.
It seems that I was wearing it inside, no
The material was also very expensive, and Bai Ya's hand felt delicate and soft after just scraping it lightly. He immediately shook His Majesty's shoulders, but she had no reaction. The feather crown slipped from her head and fell to the ground. The metal inside
The silk made a "clang" sound.
"who!"
The guard over there heard the noise and ran over quickly. Bai Ya had no time to react, grabbed the feather crown on the ground, carried the little queen on his back, and then nimbly climbed up to the tall tree next to the wall.
The two guards walked around here and saw no one. One laughed at the other for being nervous, and then they went back. The canopy of the trees in winter was not dense, but it was enough to hide the two people. General Bai Ya
Your Majesty carefully placed her on a branch to prevent her from falling.
This little girl is very heavy. It doesn't mean that she is very heavy, but that she can't exert any strength. Under normal circumstances, a weak person can use some strength, but she doesn't. Bai Ya relies entirely on himself.
The person holding her on his back made her completely unconscious, like a corpse.
Corpse... Bai Ya didn't want to think about those two words. But Weiyu's face and hands were too cold, not like a living person at all. He patted His Majesty's face. Maybe it was a bit rough, but she
There was really no reaction. Bai Ya reached out to touch her hand again, squeezed her arm, and found that her body was too stiff.
No temperature, no breathing, no pulse.
What else could this be but a dead person?
Bai Ya suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This was so sudden, without any warning, that His Majesty just...died in a corner of the imperial city? Ridiculous! Not only would no one believe him, but he couldn't tell what would happen to him.
The charge was that the body of the current emperor was found so close to the palace where the fire broke out in the Queen Mother. Not to mention suspicion, even the rescue of the Queen Mother could be immediately slandered as a conspiracy, so it was hard for him to defend himself.
But reputation is not his first consideration.
Is this the real majesty? Is she really...
The feather crown is genuine and cannot be fake, but is His Majesty the real Majesty? Bai Ya and this little girl are not familiar with each other, so they cannot recognize them at a glance like a relative or friend. Now he looks at Weiyu
The degree of seriousness is much more serious than any time before. Of course, one cannot make a judgment at once. However, besides the princes and nobles, who else has such delicate skin and smooth hair? She looks like a queen.
The queen is dead.
This is impossible.
But... it could also be a fake death. There are many secret medicines in the world that are fake and fake. Your Majesty might have taken something like this. Was it her own volition or was it done by someone else? Bai Ya has no clue.
, after all, he didn’t know whether the little girl really died. Regardless of whether it was true or not, what was the intention of the person who did this? It was impossible for the little girl to seek death on her own.
You have to tell them quickly.
But they stayed with the Queen Mother.
Bai Ya closed his eyes tightly and pinched his face with his hands. He tried to calm down and think about what to do next. The Imperial Master is coming back soon. Will this matter have anything to do with her? Your Majesty
It was impossible for people to die on the street for no reason in broad daylight. There must be factors that he didn't know about. But if something went wrong on Liu Shenghan's side that led to this, they would not be unreasonable at all when confronting the Imperial Preceptor.
.
What should he do... He felt dizzy. Her Majesty's body was not stable and she almost fell from the tree crown. Bai Ya pulled her back, causing a few leaves to fall.
He looked at her carefully again. Her facial features were indeed somewhat similar to those of the Prince Consort, and it was obvious at first glance that she was his daughter. However, her current appearance was much more respectable than his father's, at least she was complete and had no wounds.
Is there no wound? No rot? Bai Ya thought to himself. He had just met the Queen, but it was only an hour ago. How could the body get cold so fast? Although it is winter, the climate of Jiutian Kingdom is not cold, no matter what is dead
It should take a long, long time for rigor mortis to appear. Could it be that someone really...
Bai Ya looked under the tree, in the direction where he originally leaned against His Majesty.
He had destroyed the first scene...but there was nothing he could do. Besides, it was hard to tell whether that was the location of the incident.
Bai Ya had to carry the Queen's heavy body and pass over the buildings in the imperial city one by one. He planned to approach the Queen Mother's current location first to see if there was anyone else around, and then try to meet up with his friends.
When he arrived at the place, he first leaned the little girl against the wall, jumped up the wall and looked inside. There were scattered palace maids and medicine boys, and the imperial doctors didn't know where they were. There was no one else in the hospital, so he thought, should he first
Hide the little girl. If she is found directly outside the wall, it will be difficult to tell.
Suddenly, a small stone hit him on the back of the head.
He touched his head, turned around quickly, and was ready to fight. To his surprise, two familiar friends appeared outside the wall at some point.
"When did you come out?"
"Just now. Let's go quickly. The Queen Mother said that the southwest gate is the weakest in defense."
"What...why are you leaving? I'm looking for you." As he said that, he jumped off the wall and pointed at the Queen who was lying on the ground. "I found this child near the Queen Mother's palace, and she -"
"She's dead."
"You know?!"
"Since you have brought her here, someone will tell her mother, but the Queen Mother knows this. She advised us to leave now. When the Imperial Master comes back and finds out that we know too much, no one can leave alive."
Liu Shenghan spoke so fast that Bai Ya almost couldn't keep up. He frowned and asked:
"What do you know? I don't know anything yet."
"Let's go first, we don't have time." Jun Aoyan, who got the Mo Dao, also advised him, "We will tell you."
All of this was really too inexplicable. The pace of the whole day was so fast that he didn't even realize that it was already sunset. The sky had darkened for some reason, and the surrounding scenery was covered with warm light.
.The setting sun fell on the little queen's little face, looking very well-behaved and as vivid as a living person. She had never been so quiet.
"……All right."
Bai Ya glanced at her one last time and quickly left with his friends.
