Leaving behind 500,000 soldiers and horses from ten cities to escort the grain and grass, Liuyue and Kuzamu returned like flying towards Shengjing, the northern capital city.
Seven days and seven nights, we traveled day and night and returned.
On the eighth day, we crossed the entire Qianli Grassland and returned to Shengjing, the capital of Beimu.
"Quick, quick, King Zhongyi, quick..."
In the Lama Temple, people kept shouting and guiding Liu Yue, who was rushing towards her, along the way.
Countless palace maids and servants walked back and forth silently, all with hurried and worried expressions on their faces. Officials gathered at the gatekeepers of the Chen Palace where Empress Dowager Xiao lived, and milled around.
Everyone's faces were filled with anxiety.
An invisible layer of gloomy clouds hung over the entire Beimu Palace.
"King Zhongyi, hurry up, the Queen Mother is waiting for you, hurry up..." Liu Yue almost rode her horse all the way to the gate of Queen Mother Xiao's palace. From a distance, she could hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance and surrounded Minister Bei Mu outside the palace gate.
They immediately brightened their eyes and shouted loudly towards Liuyue.
He dismounted and rushed forward.
Regardless of the fatigue from the long days of traveling and the sweat on her face, the moon was almost like a gust of wind, blowing into the palace of Queen Mother Xiao.
With the expressions of the ministers, it seems that Queen Mother Xiao...
Rushing in, the important ministers of Bei Mu in the Chen Palace were already lined up inside. They had heard Liu Yue's arrival call and immediately made way for Liu Yue.
In front of the big white jade bed, five-year-old Yeluhong burst into tears. He just crawled in front of the bed and tightly held the hand of Queen Mother Xiao who was lying on the bed.
Empress Dowager Xiao's face was so pale that there was no blood at all, her eyes were slightly squinted, and it looked like she was taking a deep breath to hold on.
"Don't cry." Liu Yue had already heard from Ku Zamu that Empress Dowager Xiao was assassinated and had been stabbed in a vital part. She had already been convinced. At this time, she shouted in a low voice and rushed forward in a few steps.
Without time to take care of Yeluhong, Liuyue stretched out her fingers, lifted Queen Mother Xiao's chin, forced Queen Mother Xiao to open her mouth, and quickly inserted a black pill the size of a small fingertip: "Water."
