A head appeared out of thin air in the corner of the wall, looking around, quietly observing its surroundings.
Fortunately, Yun Luo is cautious enough.
When she came out, the prince happened to walk into the secret room.
When the queen heard the footsteps, she suddenly turned her head, and her sinister and cold gaze swept across the passage!
Yun Luo retracted his head with a "whoosh" sound, his heart pounding.
So scary!
If she hadn't just stood up and walked out, she would have been discovered immediately.
However, the queen's glance just now was not directed at her, it was just a passing glance.
Yun Luo pressed his heart, raised his head again, and boldly looked into the secret room.
Sure enough.
Ji Xiuling has withdrawn her gaze.
With a smile on her face, she pulled the prince to the bedside and smiled at Emperor Cangyun who was lying on the bed: "Look, our Ye'er is so filial. We personally bring you ginseng soup every day. You can forget it."
Don't worry, my son's filial piety is always right, right?"
On the surface, this sounds fine.
However, when Yun Luo heard it, there was an eerie feeling.
Because she knew very well that the prince was dead.
Can a living dead person who has been devoured by worms still have any filial piety?
The reason why he went to get the ginseng soup and sent it back to the secret room himself was just to follow Ji Xiuling's instructions.
"My eyes are not blind yet. Do you think I can't tell what the prince's condition is now?" Emperor Cangyun said weakly, with a hint of ridicule in his voice.
He seemed exhausted, lying on the bed. Apart from talking, he didn't even have the strength to sit up.
"Where did you start with these words? Isn't Ye'er well here?" Ji Xiuling's smile did not change.
"Then you ask him to call me father?" Emperor Cangyun said coldly, "Can he still call him?"
Ji Xiuling's eyes suddenly darkened.
As a Gu slave, the prince can move normally under instructions, but his eyes can't see, his breathing seems to be non-existent, and he can't speak like a normal person at all.
Emperor Cangyun still doesn't know why the prince became like this.
All he knew was that the prince had a sudden serious illness, and the queen tried her best to stop him from allowing the imperial doctor to treat him. When the prince opened his eyes again, he looked like this...
No food, no water, no sleep, no words anymore.
He was so demented that he seemed to have lost his soul. He ignored anyone who spoke to him. Unless the queen spoke, he would make some responses, but he also seemed very slow.
"Ye'er is just sick, he will get better."
Ji Xiuling's smile faded, she said lightly, reached out to touch her son's cold cheek, and murmured: "He will definitely get better..."
Emperor Cangyun frowned: "What disease does the prince have? I've asked you many times, why don't you tell me?"
"It's just a minor illness. There's nothing to say. Your Majesty just needs to believe in me and I will make Ye'er get better."
Ji Xiuling raised her red lips, picked up the ginseng soup on the tray in the prince's hand, and held it in front of Emperor Cangyun herself.
"Your Majesty hasn't eaten all day. For the sake of Ye'er's filial piety, let's drink some ginseng soup."
Emperor Cangyun stared at her coldly: "You kept me under house arrest for many days and refused to tell me about the situation outside. Now the capital has been in chaos, right?"
Ji Xiuling's red lips curved: "They are just people like ants, why should Your Majesty take them to heart? Drink the ginseng soup first, don't starve your body."
