After Ye Luxian drank the pill, he felt that his headache was better after a while, and he was even a little refreshed.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Suiyu put away the medicine bottle, and then said angrily to Yeluxian.

"This pill really has a miraculous effect, and I feel much better now! It seems that the concubine is still careful! Ye Luxian was very satisfied with the efficacy of this medicine, and couldn't help but praise.

"It is a blessing for the concubines to be able to share the worries and sorrows of the emperor. As long as the emperor is healthy, the concubines will be at ease! Suiyu lowered her head and smiled softly.

Ye Luxian stretched out his hand and hugged Suiyu into his arms, and then sighed softly: "It seems that you are still the most considerate!" It's just that, now that something like this has happened to Master Xiao, my heart is always uneasy! ”

Suiyu knew that Ye Luxian must be very bored at this time, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only lie quietly in Ye Luxian's arms.

As early as the early morning of this day, Yan'er, who was sleeping soundly in the deep palace, suddenly woke up from her sleep.

"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you? Is it a nightmare? Ming'er, who had been napping on the edge of the bed, saw Yan'er suddenly wake up, and hurriedly asked with concern.

Yan'er's forehead was covered with sweat, and even the placket of her clothes was soaked with sweat, and she couldn't care about answering Ming'er's questions anymore. Presumably, the dream she had this night must have been very dangerous and terrifying.

Ming'er saw that Yan'er was frightened and panted slightly, so she hurriedly walked to the table, poured a cup of hot water for Yan'er, and handed it to Yan'er.

Yan'er took the hot water handed over by Ming'er, trembled and brought it to her mouth, and took a small sip.

Ming'er took out her handkerchief from her arms, and then gently wiped the sweat from Yan'er's forehead.

After a long time, Yan'er finally settled down, and then slowly spoke.

"Naru, I had a nightmare, a very terrible dream!"

"Niangniang, what kind of dream did you have? What dreams scare you like this! "Ming'er doesn't know why.

Yan'er looked up at the still dark blue sky outside the window and sighed softly. Then he continued: "I dreamed of my father and him" Yan'er just spoke, but she couldn't say any more.

"Niangniang, what happened to Master Xiao?" Ming'er still didn't understand what Yan'er was trying to say.

At this time, Yan'er's eyes were already full of tears. She couldn't hide the grief in her heart, and began to sobble quietly: "Father, he died!" ”

Yan'er's words surprised Ming'er. It turned out that Yan'er had dreamed of Lord Xiao's death, so she was so sad and frightened. But after all, this is just a dream, not real. Because a few days ago, Lord Xiao also obtained the emperor's personal permission to enter the palace to visit Yan'er. At that time. Isn't Lord Xiao okay? At this time, Lord Xiao should be serving in the Black Mountain Palace to serve the emperor, and the guards in the Black Mountain Palace are strict, so it is expected that nothing will happen to him. Therefore, this dream, in the end, cannot be taken seriously, and it cannot be counted.

"Mother, this is just a dream, people say that dreams are all the opposite. And Lord Xiao is deeply blessed, so the slave guesses that Lord Xiao will definitely be fine! Naruto said with relief.

"I hope Father is as you say. Be able to return safely! Yan'er sighed softly again.

In fact, for Yan'er, although Xiao Siwen is not her biological father, she is better than her biological father. Since she crossed over here ten years ago, she was fortunate to be rescued by Xiao Siwen and raised to this day. Xiao Siwen's kindness to her, how can it be described in a few words? Before the crossing, she and her mother had been living a life of exile because they were kicked out of the house by their father. For many years to come, she did not feel the slightest fatherly love. In a way, her heart is broken. can travel back here. Xiao Siwen's warmth and care for her slowly made up for the lack of fatherly love in her heart in the past. In the depths of her heart, she has long regarded Xiao Siwen as her biological father!

Ming'er comforted Yan'er for a long time, and finally coaxed Yan'er to sleep again.

But Ming'er still wasn't at ease. So I've been guarding Yan'er all the time. It's just that this night, Yan'er's brows have been frowning even in her sleep, and that sad appearance makes Ming'er feel very distressed when she sees it. But in front of her, in addition to comforting Yan'er to accompany Yan'er, she had no other way to relieve Yan'er's worries.

In the prison of the Black Mountain Palace. It's dark and cold.

The little palace maid had been squatting in the corner and shivering, without the arrogance she had in front of Yeluxian before. The darkness of the prison began to terrify her.

She was originally just an ordinary palace maid in the Black Mountain Palace, living a cautious life. And this time the emperor went hunting in Montenegro, and the eunuch in charge of the palace transferred her to Xiao Siwen, whose duty was to take care of Xiao Siwen's diet and daily life.

She had long heard that Xiao Siwen was the most powerful official in the Great Liao Dynasty, and he was generous and gentle, and he had no arrogance at all. Therefore, she was originally very glad that the eunuch in charge had arranged a good errand for herself.

But just yesterday evening, a man in black broke into her room, held a knife to her neck, threatened her to let her put a packet of medicinal powder into the tea for Xiao Siwen, and warned her to take full responsibility for whatever happened the next day. Otherwise, her mother and father and brother would all be killed!

Before leaving, the man in black took out her mother's token from his bosom. She knew that her mother and father and brother must have been under the control of this man in black. If you don't do what the man in black says, then I'm afraid that my whole family will die.

So, she had no choice but to follow the arrangement of the man in black.

She originally thought that even if this medicine was placed in Xiao Siwen's tea, there was nothing. Because she had studied medicine with a medicine woman for a few days when she was a child, she knew that the medicine powder was just some magic medicine, and it could not harm people's lives. That's why she dared to put the medicinal powder into Xiao Siwen's tea. After all, compared to the lives of his whole family, it is nothing to let Xiao Siwen take some drugs.

But who would have thought that on the morning of the second day, the news of Xiao Siwen's murder came.

That's when she realized what she had done. But it's too late to regret it now, even if she wants to run away now, it's too late. What's more, if he escapes, his entire family will die. After weighing several aspects, she understands the stakes. So when Yeluxian sent someone to investigate, she could only bite the bullet and put all the blame on herself.

It's not that she doesn't understand how much of a sin it is to murder the ministers of the DPRK and China, but if she sacrifices herself, it is worth it to be able to exchange the lives of the whole family.

But it was dark and cold in the prison, and there were even rats scurrying in and out. She is most afraid of rats when she pees, so since she was imprisoned in the prison, she didn't even dare to close her eyes. I am afraid that as soon as I close my eyes, this mouse will come and bite me. She was even more afraid that as soon as she closed her eyes, Xiao Siwen's ghost would come to her to ask for her life.
