Chapter 90: The Struggle for the Throne (10)

Ling Cang Pavilion suddenly became lively because of the poisoning.

Imperial Doctor Shen was diagnosed with Xiao Yan's poisoning and had no worries about his life, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Li was relieved to get the news of Imperial Doctor Shen, and instructed to leave a Imperial Doctor to guard him, so that the other cadres and others were dispersed, and he hurriedly returned to the Summer Palace to report to Xiaoji.

After Xiao Huang waited for all the people to leave, he took advantage of the time when the imperial doctor went down to decoction medicine, and the subordinates came to Xiao Yan's side and asked quietly, "Brother Jiu, are you okay?"

Xiao Yan didn't speak, just lay down and didn't move, Xiao Huang probed his snort, faint but very even, it should be fine, maybe he was asleep, climbed into bed and lay on one side, put his little hand in Xiao Yan's palm, maybe he was too sleepy, and he fell asleep after a while.

In the small courtyard of Xiangguo Temple, Yan Ziyue was interrogating the poisoned maidservant, and Yan Li went to Master Ran to discuss whether to arrange a safe place to go, or directly send people out of the temple to Su Taifu.

"Are you awake", Yan Ziyue pricked a needle in the middle of the maidservant, waited for a while, and saw that the maid's eyes blinked, and she seemed to wake up.

"Where is this? Who are you"? The maid woke up in shock and nervous.

"Tell me, what's my name"? Yan Ziyue's tone was calm, with irresistible strength.

The maid looked at Yan Ziyue, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and replied tremblingly: "Slave Xiaoping."

"Xiaoping, a good name, then your sister's name is Xiao'an"?

Xiao Ping's eyes flashed, and he looked at Yan Ziyue in surprise and said, "You... How do you know"?

"I guessed it"?

Xiaoping looked at Yan Ziyue's expression, as if he really just guessed correctly.

"Who are you"? Xiaoping asked with some fear, people who can know that they have a sister are not necessarily good people.

"A man who can save you and your sister".

Xiaoping looked at Yan Ziyue in disbelief, and saw her serious expression, and was excited and a little suspicious for a while.

"Well, let me tell you, I'm a friend of the Nine Emperors. I also know that it was right to use your sister to threaten you to poison the Nine Emperor Princes, and of course you really did that, do you know what the next person who threatens you will do? They're going to kill you, and they're going to kill your sister at the same time."

Xiaoping looked at Yan Ziyue with wide eyes, not because he didn't believe her words, but because she said the truth, but she didn't dare to admit it and didn't want to believe it, so she felt even more afraid and desperate.

"Now that you are in my hands, I can keep you safe and sound, but as for what will happen to your sister, it depends on your performance", Yan Ziyue's sentence completely disintegrated Xiaoping's inner world.

"What do you want to ask"? Xiaoping sighed and compromised.

"You're smart and alert, otherwise they wouldn't have found you. Tell me, who are they"? Yan Ziyue still admires Xiaoping, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, affectionate and righteous, with flexible brains and courage.

Xiaoping listened to Yan Ziyue's reason for finding himself, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "They are Concubine Zhong's people."

"Why are you sure"?

"When I was in the palace, they had already come to me several times, and I knew them."

"So..., do you have any proof"?

"There's... I keep all the things they handed over to me, as well as Sister Linglong beside Concubine Zhong, I also recognize that my sister Xiao An is in her hands", Xiao Ping said with a painful look on his face, and couldn't help but sobbed quietly.

Yan Ziyue glanced at Xiaoping, threw her a Jinpa and said, "Do you know where your sister is?"

"I don't know, I just know that Sister Linglong locked her up and fell into their hands, and Xiao An doesn't know if she is still alive", Xiaoping knew their cruelty, and tears fell down when he said this.

"What else do you know"?

"I still know...", Xiao Ping hesitated for a moment and continued: "They poisoned Concubine An's diet, which is a kind of medicine that cannot be detected, but will slowly make people crazy, just like Concubine Dou Niangniang."

"Oh...", Yan Ziyue was no longer surprised when she heard it.

"Then there are Concubine Li Niangniang and General Zhong... Maybe...", Xiaoping stopped talking, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Are you saying that there was an adultery between them, how do you know"?

Xiaoping never expected Yan Ziyue to say this.

"I... The first time I came to Qiongyuan, I accidentally ran into them...", Xiaoping didn't continue.

"Do you know a lot"? Yan Ziyue quipped.

When Xiaoping heard this, his face immediately turned white, and he looked at Yan Ziyue intently and said, "You, don't you believe me?"

"yes...".

Xiaoping didn't expect Yan Ziyue to deny her so directly, she was angry and bent for a while, held back her tears, and bit her lip out of blood.

Yan Ziyue carefully observed Xiaoping's reaction, and made sure that she was not lying, she was a poor person who was helpless to be used but was smart and forbearing.

"I'm joking with you, how can I not believe you", Yan Ziyue smiled, like a spring breeze, which made people feel warm immediately.

Xiaoping's eyebrows stretched slightly, looking at Yan Ziyue, she felt that she was as unpredictable as Xiao Yan, but much warmer than Xiao Yan.

"Okay, I promised you that you would find a way to rescue your sister, but now I think I should send you back."

Xiaoping was puzzled for a moment, and the joy on his face faded and immediately ignited fear.

"Don't worry, since I let you go back, there must be a way to ensure your safety, and only if you go back, your sister can live, and they won't be poisoned immediately."

Xiaoping listened, made up his mind, and instinctively told him that he should believe the person in front of him, and he was willing to believe that she could really save his sister, so he nodded slightly: "Really? Okay, I'll listen to you, as long as you can save my sister, you can let me do anything, even if I die."

"No, your life is as precious as your sister's life, no one has the right to trample on it at will, if your sister's life is to be exchanged for your life, then why did your sister steal her life when she knew the truth?"

Xiaoping looked at Yan Ziyue, no one had ever said such a thing to himself, and his life should be cherished, he was moved to tears for a while, and secretly swore in his heart that from this moment on, he was willing to offer sincere loyalty to the person in front of him and never betray.

"This is for you...", Yan Ziyue handed a purple bag to Xiao Ping and said: "There are antidote and a few poison needles here, you can carry them with you, you can protect yourself if necessary, in addition, there is a bone whistle, if there is an emergency, blow it."

Xiaoping took the bag, looked at Yan Ziyue gratefully and said, "Master, I...".

Yan Ziyue smiled brightly and said: "You don't have to call me master, you can just call Yue Gongzi, your master is the Nine Emperor Prince Xiaoyan, you can follow him in the future."

"Okay...", Xiaoping nodded heavily, this time he felt that he had been reborn, no longer a free duckweed, and felt that this life had a new meaning.

Yan Ziyue sent Xiaoping back to Lingcang Pavilion, explained how she was going to deal with the next thing, and touched Xiao Yan's bedroom by the way, and came to the bed lightly, looking at Xiao Yan's handsome and evil sleeping face, and was about to play some prank when Xiao Yan suddenly sat up and clamped his hands.

"So you're awake," Yan Ziyue said with a smile.

"Otherwise, what are you going to do"? Xiao Yan looked at Yan Ziyue and knew that she would not be honest.

"It's nothing, I wanted to be rude, isn't this someone found out?"

Xiao Yan was very helpless about Yan Ziyue's shameless answer, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he let go of her hand, but he was thinking in his heart that this was the case, he would have known that he would continue to pretend to be asleep, maybe... Immediately afterwards, I felt that I had a bad idea like this, and I was a little embarrassed.

"Why are you back again"?

"Oh...", in this way, Yan Ziyue told Xiaoping about everything he thought, and also told Xiaoyan what he thought, and at the same time specially explained that Xiaoping was a capable person, so let him train it well and stay by his side.

Xiao Yan watched Yan Ziyue say so much and do so much for himself, and his heart softened a lot for a while.

"So, you have to keep her safe, it would be better if you could teach her some kung fu, you need helpers around you, especially those who swear to follow, I think she will be suitable."

"Okay...", Xiao Yan didn't know why he listened to Yan Ziyue's words, and even liked to listen to Yan Ziyue, and he couldn't wait to keep her by his side.

"I'm leaving...", as soon as Yan Ziyue's words fell, the person was already gone.

When Yan Ziyue came back to the courtyard, Yan Li had been waiting for her for a long time.

"It's back...".

"Hmm...".

"What about people"?

"Oh, I'll send her back".

"Why"?

"Father-in-law, you think, the most dangerous place is the safest, as long as she is still useful, she will not become an outcast, and besides, there are also people around Yan at this time."

Yan Li looked at Yan Ziyue, I really couldn't imagine that she would be so judgmental and decision-making, and I felt that I really didn't understand her well, or I had never really understood her.

Yan Ziyue saw that Yan Li was stunned when she looked at her, walked over and rubbed her and said, "Father-in-law, what do you want, do you think I can do this?"

"Weren't you quite confident just now?"

"But now I don't have confidence, I want to listen to my father's opinion."

"You now want to listen to my opinion, you brought her back and sent her away, who thought of listening to my opinion, not to mention, the matter has come to this, what do you want me to do"?

Yan Ziyue was a little dumbfounded when she heard Yan Li's complaining emotions, and then laughed again and said, "Father-in-law, are you angry"?

"What do you say"?

"Father-in-law, be good, don't be angry, Yue'er knows it's wrong, and she won't dare to make decisions in the future", Yan Ziyue said coquettishly.

Yan Li was amused by Yan Ziyue's appearance, although he was a little angry with her, he still couldn't escape her entanglement, but he was easy to be soft-hearted.

"I think, if there is such a thing in the future, you will still be like today", Yan Li began to feel Yan Ziyue's true son.

"How do you know, my father-in-law is wise", Yan Ziyue admitted calmly, coaxing Zhan Li to laugh even more happily.

Zhan Li was speechless for a while, it was just a guess just now, but now she directly recognized it, sure enough, Yue'er has grown up, and she wants to re-acquaint herself with the Yue'er in front of her.
