Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Fourth [The Empress Arrives] (Part 2)
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Huo, my princess' life is at stake. If you have any doubts in your heart, wait until she is over the danger and ask her in person, okay?"
When Huo Shengnan heard what he said, he couldn't help but return to reality. No matter what the truth was at the time, it didn't matter anymore. If Princess Anping died, this responsibility was definitely not something she could bear. Thinking of this, she
His heart suddenly became heavy, and he said sadly: "Go ahead, I want to be alone for a while."
When Hu Xiaotian went to the princess's room, he saw several female soldiers carrying a bathtub out. The water in the bathtub was as black as ink. This was the third bucket of water that had been replaced.
Xu Baichuan and Liu Changsheng had just gone to visit the princess together. Judging from the gloomy expressions on their faces, they were both at a loss what to do about the princess's condition.
Hu Xiaotian didn't ask, silently walked into the room and came to the bedside. Seeing Xi Yan's face, even Hu Xiaotian himself was shocked. Not only did her face not improve, but it became darker and darker than before.
The situation seems to be getting more serious.
Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "Your Highness, how do you feel?"
Xi Yan opened her beautiful eyes slightly, glanced at Hu Xiaotian, waved her hand and said: "Others... go out..."
The two female soldiers responsible for taking care of her quietly retreated.
Hu Xiaotian used voice transmission to enter the secret passage: "Why were you so careless that you didn't hide your shoes?"
Xi Yan was startled when she heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly and she said, "I have kept it well for a long time."
Hu Xiaotian immediately understood that Huo Shengnan must have been deliberately deceiving him just now. He didn't expect that this girl had such deep intentions. Fortunately, he was alert, otherwise he would have fallen into her trap.
Xi Yan said: "When she was using my martial arts to force out poison for me, she already took the opportunity to explore the condition of my meridians. I probably can't hide my martial arts skills from her."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although she is suspicious, she has no evidence."
Xiyan whispered: "Didn't you borrow some black ice clams? Why didn't I see you bring the things?"
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard her mention this matter: "Xue Shengjing is really stingy. He only gave me a bottle of Baicao Huichun Pills."
Xi Yan said: "The Black Underworld Ice Clam is a treasure. If you have a chance, you must take it back and keep it for use." When she mentioned this matter, her beautiful eyes shone, and she was obviously very interested in the Black Underworld Ice Clam.
Hu Xiaotian knew that the taking she was talking about was either stealing or robbing, so he whispered: "How do you plan to end today's matter?"
Xi Yan said: "If I don't die, they will definitely continue to investigate this matter. If I die, many people will be able to be relieved, don't you think?" She looked at Hu Xiaotian meaningfully. The meaning could not be more obvious.
You, Hu Xiaotian, also want me to die.
Hu Xiaotian was not asking her to die, but he wanted Xiyan to disappear from Yongdu through death, so that he would successfully complete the task and gain full justice. He wanted to argue with the Emperor of Dayong and ask for justice. He lowered his voice
Said: "If you die, wouldn't I have to escort your coffin all the way back to Kangdu?"
Xi Yan said: "There's no need to go to such trouble, I have my own way."
When Hu Xiaotian was about to ask her what she could do, he suddenly heard an announcement coming from outside, but it was Concubine Shu who had arrived. Hu Xiaotian winked at Xiyan, stood up and went out to greet her.
When Hu Xiaotian walked out of the door, Concubine Shu and her party had already arrived outside the inner garden gate. Huo Shengnan, Xu Baichuan, and Liu Yucheng all came to the front to greet them. Liu Changsheng did not appear in the greeting queue because of inconvenience in his legs and feet. Let Hu Xiaotian
Surprisingly, Shi Kuan was not seen among the crowd. I wonder where he went at this time.
Everyone said in unison: "Welcome to Concubine Shu!"
Concubine Dong Shu glanced at the crowd, waved her hands and said: "Get up, don't disturb Princess Anping." With a worried expression on her face, she first walked towards Xu Baichuan and said: "Mr. Xu, how is Princess Anping's situation?
?”
Xu Baichuan sighed and said: "I would like to report to you, Princess Anping's condition continues to deteriorate. There is no sign of easing."
Concubine Shu felt a mixture of joy and sorrow. She was happy that if Long Xiyue could not pass this test, the thorn buried in her heart could finally be removed. But she was worried that if Long Xiyue really died, she didn't know how the outside world would view it.
Would she have suspected the cause of her death on herself? Although Concubine Shu rarely cared about other people's feelings when doing things, this matter was not trivial. She was worried that Long Xiyue's assassination was just the beginning, and she didn't know what was hidden behind it.
Conspiracy, so she chose to come to visit as soon as possible, at least to stop some people's mouths.
Since Fang Lianhai came here, his eyes have been fixed on Hu Xiaotian fiercely. He has been holding a grudge since the last time he was humiliated in Qichen Palace. Now that the master has come in person, he naturally feels that he has support. If the current situation is not special, he would have rushed forward.
Seek justice from Hu Xiaotian.
Concubine Shu said, "I'm going to see her!" She walked towards the princess's room, followed closely by Fang Lianhai. After taking only two steps, they saw a person coming up to block their way: "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"
Concubine Shu's long eyebrows were raised, and anger suddenly appeared in her eyes. Who on earth was so bold and dared to block her way?
The person blocking the road was none other than Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian said: "Mother, your Royal Highness's life hangs on a thread. You should not have too many people visiting you."
Fang Lianhai had been looking for an opportunity to have an attack. When he heard Hu Xiaotian's words, he immediately became furious and said angrily: "Hu Xiaotian, you are so brave. You dare to block the way of the queen. You are disrespectful to the queen. Come on!"
Concubine Shu hummed and glared at Fang Lianhai. Her main purpose of coming to Chen Palace was to visit, not to show off her power. What's more, at this time, she didn't want to cause more trouble. She sighed softly and said:
"You are all waiting outside." His eyes scrutinized Hu Xiaotian's face, and then he said: "Please, Mr. Hu, please lead the way to this palace."
Hu Xiaotian respectfully obeyed the order and brought Concubine Shu to the room.
Concubine Shu came to the bedside and was shocked when she saw Xiyan's appearance. Xiyan's condition at the moment was much more serious than she imagined. Hu Xiaotian moved a brocade dumpling and placed it beside the bed, asking Shu
The concubine sat down and called softly: "Your Highness the Princess... Your Highness the Princess..."
Although Xi Yan opened her eyes slightly, her vision was blurred and she was obviously a little confused.
Concubine Shu made a gesture to stop Hu Xiaotian from calling her anymore, and whispered: "Don't disturb the child, let her have a good rest..." As she spoke, her eye circles turned red, and tears shone in her eyes.
Of course Hu Xiaotian knew that Concubine Shu wished Princess Anping had died long ago. The scene in front of her was simply a disguise. Women are indeed born to be masters of acting.
Concubine Shu sat beside Xiyan's bed, looking at Xiyan lovingly, and stretched out her hands to hold Xiyan's right hand. Xiyan's hand shape was very beautiful, but her nails had turned black. Looking at her face again,
Not only was she dark, but she was also obviously swollen. With her current appearance, let alone Concubine Shu, even Long Xiyue's biological father and mother would not be able to recognize who she was.
Concubine Shu sighed and whispered: "Xiyue, ever since I learned that you and my son Daoming have made an engagement, I have been very happy in my heart. I am looking forward to it all the time that you can come to Dayong as soon as possible and become my wife.
My daughter-in-law, seeing her wedding coming soon, I never thought... you would turn out like this... How could I not be heartbroken..." At this point, the tears in his eyes were like broken beads.
And fall.
If you don't know what she did against the Dakang Mission before, you will definitely believe that everything she says and does now is true. Hu Xiaotian secretly admires that it is no accident that Concubine Shu has climbed to the position she is today, just because of this
With her acting skills, in modern society, she could win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Xi Yan felt Concubine Shu's tears falling on the back of her hand. She opened her eyes slightly, looked confused, and said weakly: "Mother... mother... are you here?"
Concubine Shu was startled by her call, and immediately understood that Xi Yan must be unconscious and thought that she was her mother. She pursed her lips and said, "It's me..."
Xi Yan's eyes were still staring upward blankly, and she murmured: "Mother... mother... I knew you would come to see me... You left me and the emperor alone and left alone... Do you know,
My daughter misses you all the time..." As she spoke, two lines of crystal tears fell down her cheeks, but her body remained motionless.
Hu Xiaotian looked at the performances of these two acting masters, and the only word that could describe his heart at this moment was admiration.
Xiyan knew that Concubine Shu was acting, but Concubine Shu did not know that Concubine Xiyan was acting. Seeing Xiyan's appearance, she knew that she was not far from death, although Concubine Shu had always wished that Princess Anping would die early.
, but that was not against the girl herself, but against her identity. It was precisely because of this marriage that it affected the future of her precious son. Seeing how pitiful the girl in front of her was, she still thought of her when her life was in danger.
The mother-in-law actually aroused Concubine Shu's compassion.
Concubine Shu said softly: "Xiyue, mother is right here."
"Mom...don't leave me...my daughter is so scared...father doesn't care about us anymore...don't leave me when you go..."
Concubine Shu said: "Don't be afraid, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here to accompany you..." At this point, her nose felt a little sore. People's hearts are all made of flesh. Seeing this scene, even if you are as hard-hearted as
Concubine Shu couldn't help but sympathize with Long Xiyue's fate. In fact, Long Xiyue was just a political victim, but her fate was even more unfortunate. She was assassinated before she could get married to her son. Unknown
He died in a foreign country in vain.
Xi Yan said: "Mom...why can't I see anything...I can't see anything...my eyes...my eyes..."
