"Please let the emperor release Xi'er and the child. ”

After Si Tingyan finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

The emperor's face immediately became gloomy, and the anger of being threatened quickly diluted the joy in his heart.

He stared at Si Tingyan, looked up and down, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "What are you?"

Si Tingyan slowly raised his head, and a pair of eyes stared straight at the emperor.

After a long time, he said, "The minister does not dare to threaten Your Majesty. Xi'er is the love of the minister's life, and the child is the minister's future. If the minister can't even save the two of them, then what's the difference between the minister and the beast?"

The emperor stared at Si Tingyan and asked slowly, "What if I don't want to?"

Si Tingyan took the bottle full of liquid medicine from his waist and held it high, "If Your Majesty refuses, the minister will have to destroy this liquid medicine." However, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will tell the imperial doctor the recipe of this potion. When the time comes, His Majesty only needs to ask the imperial doctor to refill the bottle. It's just that this mucus is not easy to come by. If you want to get it again, I'm afraid it will cost Your Majesty some troops. ”

The emperor glared angrily, suddenly raised his hand, paced back and forth behind the table, pointed at the tip of Si Tingyan's nose, and scolded loudly, "Si Tingyan! Have you thought about what the consequences of threatening me will be?"

Si Tingyan bowed to the emperor again, "If Your Majesty wants to execute the minister, the minister has no complaints. However, as long as His Majesty refuses to let Xi'er and the children leave the capital and refuses to issue an order to keep them safe, the minister will not hand over this bottle of liquid medicine to His Majesty. ”

The emperor's anger at the beginning has gradually dissipated, and the emotions in his heart have gradually turned into disdain and sarcasm.

He sneered and stared at Si Tingyan, "Si Tingyan, do you think I really have no other way?"

"You are the Son of Heaven, so naturally there are other methods. Si Tingyan looked at the emperor and continued, "However, the minister is the father and the husband, and the minister has only one way!"

The emperor casually threw the green jade teacup on the table.

The teacup fell in front of Si Tingyan, and with a 'bang', it shattered into several pieces, and the tea inside flowed around the floor.

Si Tingyan was still kneeling there, not even moving more.

The emperor's anger finally dissipated a little.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Si Tingyan before he let out a long sigh and said, "That's it." I promise you yes. ”

"Your Majesty, please. ”

Si Tingyan continued.

The anger in the emperor's heart rose again.

It took him a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his heart one by one, and instructed the eunuch next to him to bring paper and pencils.

The emperor wrote the edict and handed it to the eunuch.

Seeing that the eunuch took out the jade seal, he wanted to seal it.

The emperor raised his hand to stop the eunuch, stared at Si Tingyan's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "I promised you one condition, and you must also agree to one condition." ”

Si Tingyan had already expected it, looked up at the emperor, and was calm.

"I want you to sprinkle this liquid on the merman himself and get rid of the merman. ”

As soon as these words came out, even the big eunuch on one side shook his hand and almost dropped the jade seal to the ground.

The merman is fierce, and so many soldiers are difficult to restrain it, let alone a powerless doctor like Si Tingyan?

What the eunuch and the emperor didn't expect was that Si Tingyan just smiled slightly, and nodded, "Okay." ”

The emperor asked a little unwillingly, "Have you thought clearly, I want you to sprinkle it on the merman yourself." You've seen the ferocity of the merman, so you don't need to say more. ”

"I know. ”

Si Tingyan still has that calm look.

The more he did this, the more angry the emperor's heart became.

After a long time, the emperor raised his chin to the eunuch.

The jade seal in the eunuch's hand was heavily placed on the holy decree.

He held the yellow scroll in both hands, put it in Si Tingyan's hand, and whispered in admiration, "Doctor Si is righteous, and the old slave admires." ”

Death row.

Shangguan Fang received the holy decree, and immediately rushed into the death row and read the will.

When the jailers heard this, they all looked at each other in amazement.

They were somewhat surprised that the people who had entered here were able to get out.

After listening to Shangguan Fang's will, Lu Yunxi raised his head, his pale cheeks were facing Shangguan Fang, and there was no bloodshot in his eyes, and said, "What about Si Tingyan?"

Shangguan Fang did not answer, but handed over the holy decree to the person behind him, and stepped forward to help Lu Yunxi up.

Lu Yunxi was still kneeling on the ground, and then asked, "What about Si Tingyan." ”

Shangguan Fang took a deep breath, then squatted down and looked at the child in Lu Yunxi's arms, "Xi'er, Si Tingyan is your husband and his father, he naturally has everything he needs to bear." ”

"Where did he go?"

Lu Yunxi slowly turned his head, shook the corners of his eyes, looked at Shangguan Fang, and asked softly word by word.

Shangguan Fang let out a sigh of relief, still did not answer her words, but raised his hand to help her up.

"Where the hell did he go?"

This time, Lu Yunxi used all the strength of his body to shout.

Outside the death row, this call was heard clearly by Si Tingyan.

But he still rolled over and got on the horse.

The night shadow standing under the horse looked at Si Tingyan's side face, "Is Si Gongzi really not going to pick up the county lord?"

Si Tingyan pursed his lips and shook his head.

He glanced at the white lantern, turned his horse's head, and walked away.

Si Tingyan galloped forward, his heart mixed with joy and sadness.

If you go by yourself, there will be more luck and less luck.

The merman is fierce, and he knows that he is not an opponent.

However, if he did not do so, he would not have been able to save the lives of his wife and children.

As early as when he brought this method into the palace, he had already thought that the emperor would not allow a person who threatened him to live in this world with dignity.

Otherwise, where is the emperor's authority?

Thinking of this, Si Tingyan's heart was much calmer.

This path was originally chosen by himself.

He chose it in order to save his wife and children, and he doesn't regret it.

He was only afraid that if one day, when the child grew up, she would not know how to answer when she asked Lu Yunxi where her father had gone.

After Lu Yunxi shouted that sentence, the child in his arms cried loudly, and he seemed to sense that his father was gone.

Lu Yunxi's tears fell on the child's cheeks.

She hugged the child upward, rubbing his delicate cheeks against her own face, back and forth.

Shangguan Fang couldn't bear it in his heart, shook the corners of his lips, and said in a low voice, "Si Tingyan was just ordered to sprinkle the medicinal liquid on the merman's body with his own hands, and maybe he could save his life." You and the child will leave with me first, and then I will arrange for you to leave Beijing. If it is delayed any longer, the father will change his mind, and everything Si Tingyan has done will be meaningless. ”
