Chapter 116
Even if Mu Jifan didn't understand, he could now see how bad Han Jiu's mood was. Last time, he didn't care and didn't think much about it. Now that he thought about it, Han Jiu probably had the idea of killing the king a long time ago.
Yan Beiming made a few gestures with his hands when no one was paying attention, and nodded to Han Jiu, who had been standing in the corner with almost no one noticing him.
The room was so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of your heartbeat. After one stick of incense had passed, Xiye and Qiaoyu both walked out, looking exhausted.
Xiye found a stick of incense in his medicine box and handed it to the eunuch beside the Queen Mother. "Light this first. It's for calming the mind. We can't keep going like this. The Queen Mother needs a good rest. Let her have a good sleep first."
The young eunuch took the incense and looked at the emperor. Mu Cangqiong raised his hand and a man who looked like an imperial physician stood up from the ground, took the incense and smelled it. "Your Majesty, this incense is no different. It is indeed used to calm the mind."
Mu Cangqiong then waved his hand and said, "Light it up."
After the incense was lit, the whole bedroom was filled with a faint fragrance. Han Jiu noticed that Qiao Yu's face had become paler.
She glanced at him coldly, and seemed to feel Han Jiu's gaze. Qiao Yu looked over there, and her face instantly turned pale and she quickly avoided Han Jiu's gaze.
Xiye must have told him about the situation they would face tonight. His words pushed many people into dire straits, and now everyone is in a dilemma because of his words.
If he had not been so nosy, the worst that could have happened would have been that the Queen Mother would not be able to be cured and would have died of natural causes. However, after he said this, people felt that Xiye would definitely cure the Queen Mother because he was the son of a miracle doctor.
If the Queen Mother still cannot be cured in this state, then it is not that she has an incurable disease, but that Xiye's medical skills are not good enough. Just look at the group of doctors kneeling there and you will know that if you are a doctor with poor medical skills, what is the point of living?
Finally, Mu Cangqiong put down his teacup and asked, "Is the Queen Mother's condition serious?"
Xiye knelt down and said, "I am incompetent and cannot cure the Queen Mother's illness."
Mu Cangqiong slammed the table and angrily asked, "What do you mean it's incurable?"
"The Empress Dowager has been ill for many years, and has become more serious in recent days. She has only been able to survive until today with the help of herbal medicine. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am unable to treat the Empress Dowager." Xi Ye's voice remained neither loud nor low, neither humble nor arrogant, in the face of Mu Cangqiong's fury.
"Aren't you the son of a miracle doctor? Is there any disease in the world that you can't cure? I think you have lived enough."
Then Mu Cangqiong shouted at Qiao Yu, "Didn't you say that your junior brother is an excellent doctor? Now come and tell me, what's going on?"
Qiao Yu knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I never thought that the Queen Mother was so seriously ill and could not be saved."
He regretted calling Xiye into the palace.
"Nothing can be done about it?" Mu Cangqiong stood up and said, "Someone come!"
The guards outside the door rushed in and waited for Mu Cangqiong's order. Mu Cangqiong looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and said, "I tell you two, you must heal the Queen Mother for me today, otherwise I will take your lives."
Xiye knelt on the ground with his upper body straight and didn't say anything. Qiao Yu's face looked like a ghost. Mu Cangqiong then shouted, "Tell me, can you cure it?"
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent" was the perfect tone, neither too high nor too low, for everyone to hear.
"Someone is coming..."
"Your Majesty..." A gentle voice came in and interrupted Mu Cangqiong's words.
Everyone was sweating, of course this did not include Han Jiu and Yan Beiming. Yan Beiming and Mu Jifan did not speak out to dissuade Mu Cangqiong for a reason. If it was someone else, they would not care, and they did not care who lived or died.
But Xiye and Qiao Yu will take care of it, but now another thing is more important, isn't it? Perhaps when Mu Jifan didn't see Han Jiu's expression just now, he would step forward to persuade Mu Cangqiong to calm him down, but he can't do that now.
He knew that Han Jiu had been targeting Mu Cangqiong for a long time, and today was just a small opportunity. Unfortunately, Mu Cangqiong had added fuel to the fire.
Mu Cangqiong saw that the hostility on the visitor's face was less severe. "Why is my beloved concubine here?"
The woman walked up to him and leaned into his arms. "I heard that my mother was seriously ill, so I came here specially to visit her."
"My beloved is so thoughtful." Mu Cangqiong hugged the woman and kissed her on the face.
What the hell? Are they showing off their affection? Just finish what you just didn’t finish. Han Jiu looked at Mu Cangqiong, who couldn’t take his eyes off the beauty, and she wanted to stab him blind.
The woman in Mu Cangqiong's arms smiled delicately, and seemed to have just discovered the two people kneeling on the ground and covered her mouth in surprise. "What happened?"
"My beloved, go back first. I will come to find you later." He now has to deal with these two people who are bullying the emperor.
That's right, he now thinks that Qiao Yu and Xiye are just bullying him. He is the emperor of Beiming, how can he allow others to bully him.
"Your Majesty, I…" The woman lowered her head with a blushing face, stroking her belly with both hands, "I… am pregnant."
Mu Cangqiong opened his eyes wide with surprise and asked, "Are you serious, my dear?"
The woman nodded
"Haha, my beloved concubine is really my favorite." Mu Cangqiong hugged the woman with his big hands and said, "Pass the order to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Concubine Wen."
Then he looked down at the two people kneeling on the ground and said, "Thanks to the Imperial Concubine's grace, I will not kill you today."
He glanced at Xiye again, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of living. Come on, take these two away first."
The Imperial Concubine was stunned when she heard this, and then she said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, can't you forgive their crimes for the sake of the unborn child? I want to accumulate merit for the emperor's son."
The Royal Concubine's words were harsh, but fortunately Mu Cangqiong's mind was not on her at the moment. "Okay, I won't do anything to them. I will just detain them and treat the Queen Mother."
The Imperial Concubine was about to say something but was stopped by Mu Cangqiong's eyes. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mu Cangqiong hugged her and smiled, "I will accompany my beloved concubine back now. Someone, take Xiye and Qiao Yu to the Imperial Study. I will interrogate them myself later."
Several guards escorted Xiye and Qiao Yu out. When they were about to reach Han Jiu, Xiye smiled at her and said, "Hurry up and leave the palace. Go with Song Ruochen."
Go as far as you can, as long as you can do it safely.
Han Jiu looked at him without saying anything, and slowly raised her lips to a good arc. Xiye was forcibly pushed out of the door by the guards.
Just as Xiye and Qiao Yu were pushed out of the door, Han Jiu instantly drew out the sword from a guard's waist, and then flashed in front of Mu Cangqiong, with the sword directly on his neck.
The newly-appointed Imperial Noble Consort screamed and then fainted. Han Jiu tilted her head. Isn't she too timid?
Everyone was shocked and looked at the scene with terrified eyes. Mu Cangqiong was also surprised, but then he regained his composure.
After all, he is the king of a country. He can still remain calm in times of crisis. "Han Jiu? The third son of the general who defends the country of Dayan."
Han Jiu curled his lips with cold eyes, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering me."
"Do you think you can escape by yourself?" Mu Cangqiong's eyes stared at Han Jiu.
"Escape? Oh yes, I escaped from Dayan to your Beiming, but I don't want to escape in Beiming anymore. In Beiming, I have the final say."
I've seen enough of your fucking unexpected look. Last time during the Chinese New Year, you looked at Ruochen with that look, and today you looked at Xiye with that look again. Will you also give Yan Hongzhi that look in the future?
Damn it, why don't you grab my man when you can grab anyone else? I think you've had enough of living. You used this method to get your hands on Xiye. Imperial study? Haha, go to your fucking Imperial study. What are you doing in the Imperial study? Do you want Xiye to sleep with you?
"Someone come here!" Mu Cangqiong roared, but the next second he was shocked because he found that his voice was so weak, and he sat back on the chair with a plop.
Han Jiu frowned. She also noticed that something was wrong with Mu Cangqiong. At this moment, everyone in the room felt weak all over, as if they would be exhausted to death after saying a word. Only Han Jiu was fine.
Mu Jifan held onto the table and coughed, "Xiao Jiu, we are poisoned."
Han Jiu frowned and looked at everyone in the room. What was going on? Suddenly a loud noise came from outside, and then Han Jiu felt a gust of wind rushing towards him. Han Jiu had to retract his sword to block the sword energy rushing towards him.
The door was shattered and a strong wind blew into the house. A woman was standing at the outer door. She was a cold beauty like a fairy, cold and beautiful.
Leng Yan held a sword in her hand, the tip of the sword pointed at Xi Ye, "Release the emperor."
Mu Cangqiong was very surprised when he saw the person coming, "Master, please save me!"
State Master? The State Master of Beiming State? A woman? Han Jiu tilted his neck and looked at Leng Yan, then looked at Xi Ye who put away the sword in his hand. "Okay"
Mu Jifan looked at Han Jiu anxiously. He shouldn't act emotionally at this moment. If Mu Cangqiong escaped from danger, Xiao Jiu would be finished.
Yan Beiming was also anxious. When was the poison administered? Who administered the poison? Why was Han Jiu the only one who was fine?
Leng Yan didn't expect Han Jiu to cooperate like this. She waved her hand and signaled the guards behind her to "help the emperor out."
Han Jiu stared straight at the sword pointing at Xi Ye. She just stood in the room and watched Mu Cangqiong being helped out. Seeing that Mu Cangqiong was safe, Han Jiu smiled and said, "Now, let my people go."
Leng Yan sneered, "What a joke! Who do you think you are? You are so bold! None of you can leave today."
After saying this, she was about to stab the sword in her hand into Xiye's neck.
