Chapter 379: Backtracking
When Li Zhenxiao came in, he saw that the imperial concubine was feeding the emperor water, and Xiao Lingwei was standing aside, her head lowered, motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.
"When the time comes, hurry up and tell the whereabouts of the jade seal."
The emperor looked at Li Zhenxiao expressionlessly, and just opened his mouth to speak, but saw Xiao Ling's body move, and knocked Li Zhenxiao over with one punch.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lingwei took the opportunity to bend her knees to press Li Zhenxiao's abdomen, and her right hand clawed his neck.
"Ahem... Cough... Let go... Ben King. ”
"Lord Wang."
Suo Meng and the others were shocked by this sudden situation, and by the time they reacted, Li Zhenxiao was already in Xiao Lingwei's hands.
"Let go of the prince."
Everyone raised their weapons and aimed them at Xiao Lingwei.
Xiao Ling glanced at them sarcastically: "Do you think that your movements will be faster than mine?" ”
Everyone was silent, Xiao Ling's micro martial arts were fast for everyone to see, even if the two masters of the Kongtong faction joined forces, they were not her opponents.
Li Zhenxiao had difficulty breathing, his face turned red, and even a trace of fear rose in his heart, he was afraid that Xiao Lingwei would kill him in anger, so he squeezed out a few words from his mouth with difficulty: "... You... Don't want to... Want... You... Fourth Senior Brother... The life... Is it..."
Xiao Ling paused slightly, and Li Zhenxiao was relieved for a moment.
After taking a breath of fresh air, Li Zhenxiao hurriedly said, "Your father... also in the hands of this king..."
Xiao Ling was slightly startled, and her hand was forced again: "What did you do to him?" ”
The emperor was also surprised when he heard Li Zhenxiao's words, he and the imperial concubine glanced at each other, no wonder they hadn't heard any news for so long, it turned out that Xiao Linhui had already fallen into their hands.
Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly thought of his talisman, and then sighed silently, if Xiao Linhui was arrested, then the talisman must have fallen into the hands of the other party.
Obuchi is finished...
"Let go... This king..."Li Zhenxiao made a request.
Xiao Lingwei didn't let go, and she wouldn't let go of her chips when she didn't determine Xiao Linhui's whereabouts.
At this time, Han Da walked in with someone, and he said to Xiao Lingwei: "Xiao Lingwei, look who is coming?" ”
"Weiwei."
Xiao Ling looked at the sound slightly, but saw that Xiao Linhui was tied up and escorted in, "Daddy." ”
Han Da suddenly pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Xiao Linxuan's neck, and the sharp dagger pierced the skin, and it was immediately stained with blood.
"Stop." Xiao Ling was slightly anxious and let go of Li Zhenxiao.
Li Zhenxiao breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and quickly entered the guards' circle.
He touched his neck, the pain was hot, he spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, and sneered: "Want to use the talisman to transfer troops? Hmph, fortunately, this king was prepared, otherwise he would have lost his life at this time. ”
When the emperor heard this, his hope was completely shattered.
Li Zhenxiao turned to Xiao Lingwei again and said to her: "Xiao Lingwei, you shouldn't think about resisting, don't forget, in addition to your father and brother in my hands, there are also the Xiao family and the Yang family in my hands, I believe you can save some of them, but you will definitely not be able to save everyone."
"This king hopes that you will think clearly, this king doesn't want to see the second time, otherwise, this king will kill all the Xiao family, as well as the Yang family."
Xiao Ling was slightly full of anger, but she was powerless, looking at Xiao Linhui who was being held hostage, thinking that Yang Huijun and they had also fallen into his hands, she was anxious for a while, and suddenly the qi and blood in her body surged, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"Poof."
"Weiwei."
"Little Five."
Xiao Linxuan and the emperor were shocked and shouted at the same time.
Xiao Ling was slightly stunned for a moment, and when she saw the triumphant smile on the corner of Li Zhenxiao's mouth, she had a bad premonition in her heart.
So, Xiao Lingwei hurriedly mobilized her internal force, but found that her internal force could not be raised, she had studied medicine with Lan Hai, and soon she knew that there was a poison in her body, which suppressed her internal force.
She was poisoned.
How so?
Since she entered the palace, she has been very careful, she didn't feel any poisonous gas and smoke around her, and she didn't eat anything in the palace... Wait, she drank the water.
Xiao Ling's face changed slightly, her grandmother fed her a glass of water, she was cautious, she glanced at it, and smelled it, there was no problem, she drank it.
Could it be? That glass of water is poisonous?
How so?
"Haha."
Laughter suddenly sounded in the inner hall, pulling Xiao Lingwei's mind back.
Li Zhenxiao smiled proudly: "Xiao Lingwei, this king knows that you have studied medicine and know how to recognize poison, but you didn't expect that the person who poisoned you was your most beloved grandmother, right?" ”
Xiao Linhui looked at Old Madam Xiao in the outer hall in disbelief, and her tone was full of accusations: "Mother, you... How can you poison a slight one? She's your own granddaughter. ”
Xiao Lingwei also looked over, but there was still a glimmer of hope in her eyes, she hoped that what Li Zhenxiao said was false.
However, it backfired.
Old Madam Xiao just dodged her eyes for a moment, and then, she straightened her body, looked directly at Xiao Linxuan, and said, "Hundreds of people from the Xiao family up and down are in his hands, what can I do?"
"Sacrificing a granddaughter in exchange for the lives of hundreds of clansmen, it's worth it."
Her words were righteous and awe-inspiring, but the last word fell on Xiao Lingwei's ears, which was very ironic.
Intellectually, Xiao Lingwei can understand Mrs. Xiao's choice, but emotionally, Xiao Lingwei has been hit hard.
In any case, Mrs. Xiao was her most beloved elder, she really had admiration for Mrs. Xiao, just half an hour ago, she was desperately trying to find a way to save Mrs. Xiao and the people of the Xiao family. But in a blink of an eye, he was betrayed by Mrs. Xiao.
Xiao Lingwei's mood at this time was indescribably sad and disappointed, if Mrs. Xiao could tell her about it in advance, she could still think of a way with Mrs. Xiao. Even if she can't think of a way, she must do this to save the lives of the Xiao family, she is willing, provided that Old Madam Xiao informs her.
But Old Madam Xiao didn't.
What's worse is that Xiao Lingwei originally had the confidence to turn the situation around, but now, her confidence is all gone.
If you are poisoned, you can't change your body.
Without internal strength, you can't defeat the rebels.
At this time, Xiao Lingwei was no different from a waster.
"You..." Xiao Linhui was so angry that he couldn't speak, he looked at the old lady Xiao on the side, but saw that the old lady Xiao didn't answer his gaze, and his face kept facing out.
Xiao Linhui was completely disappointed.
He began to struggle, wanting to see Xiao Lingwei, "Let go of me..."
Li Zhenxiao made a look, and Han Da motioned for the guards to let go of Xiao Linxuan.
Xiao Linhui staggered to Xiao Lingwei's side and asked with concern, "Weiwei, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Ling raised her hand slightly, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and smiled at Xiao Linhui: "Don't worry, Dad, I'm fine." ”
When the emperor heard her words, a trace of loneliness appeared in his eyes, and then, he put away his emotions and said to Li Zhenxiao: "King Ding'an, I can give you the jade seal, but you must first detoxify the county lord of Yongjia..."
