Chapter 189: The Emperor Dies
At this time, news came that traces of the prince had been found in the field.
Some Hui said that the prince was dead, and saw bloody clothes hanging on the edge of the cliff, and some said that they were not dead and escaped from the Northern Han Dynasty under the cover of the remnants.
News came from time to time, but no one was alive or dead.
These news were all made by the white tiger, and from time to time there would be some movements, attracting the captors to chase them, and the place was different every time, so the search in the capital gradually relaxed.
The East Palace was confiscated and confiscated, and no one was allowed to enter, even the soldiers who had originally patrolled were withdrawn.
The East Palace, which was once glorious in the past, was a place where hundreds of officials in the court and the central government only hoped to come in to meet the prince and get closer to each other, but now it has become an ominous place for everyone to avoid trouble and hide from it.
Yun Moxi and the others can also hide in the East Palace a little freely. But she was still cautious and mostly stayed in the secret room.
Under the diagnosis and treatment of her acupuncture and medicine, the poison of Yi Xiechen was temporarily forced, and he was fed some soup and porridge regularly every day, although he was in a coma, but at least he maintained his life.
It's just that to completely eradicate the toxin and save him, you can only wait for news from your grandfather in the distance.
And Xuanwu and Suzaku ambushed outside Liu Jien's mansion and captured a few black-clothed domestic servants, and they were indeed from the Flame Sect. It's just that they are strictly trained not to speak, or they resolutely say that there is no antidote to the flames.
Yun Moxi knew in his heart that they might not be unwilling to speak, but that even the Flame Sect itself might not have an antidote.
Yun Riqi has been gone for many days, but there is no news at all, and there is no news from the emperor.
Did something happen? In fact, the palace is not far from the capital, it is a place for the royal family to escape the summer on weekdays, and it is only two or three days away from each other.
But Riqi has been gone for eight days, and there is still no news.
Yun Moxi himself began to become impatient, and he was walking around the secret room this day.
Yun Yueqi strode in with a solemn expression.
She asked with some excitement, "Is there any news from Riqi?" ”
Yun Yueqi hesitated for a moment and handed her a small scroll of paper in his hand.
took it and unfolded it, and only a few words were written on it: Liu Jun died!
Suddenly I felt like the world was spinning!
Yun Yueqi wanted to reach out to help her, but seeing that Ligu had already supported her, she retracted her hand and stepped aside.
Seeing that her face was pale, Aunt Ligu asked anxiously, "Girl...... Are you okay? ”
Help her walk back to the soft couch and sit down.
She said faintly, "This is going on...... It's up to us! ”
Ligu sighed, she didn't know what to say, now that the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty was dead, the prince didn't know if he could come back to life, all the burden was on the shoulders of the master, and he was worried and didn't know how to help her share it.
"Master......" Ligu hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
"Huh?" Yun Moxi is a little unwilling.
"Why don't we go back to Yangzhou!"
"Back to Yangzhou?"
"Yes! Liu Jun is dead, the prince is afraid that it will be difficult to live, and the general trend has gone. There is danger for the master to stay. It's better to leave early and go back to the Great Song Dynasty! ”
"You told me to leave at this time, what should I do?"
"There is no antidote to the poison dispersed by the flames, and the master can't save him if he stays, so why bother with himself." Ligu hardened her heart and said, for the sake of Yun Moxi, this is the only best.
Yun Yueqi also looked at her, thinking the same in her heart.
I didn't want my master to be with Yi Xiechen, but I encountered a big danger before I could enjoy the blessings, and I hated the Northern Han even more, and I only hoped that the master could leave as soon as possible.
"I will never leave him!" Yun Moxi's face was displeased, knowing that they suggested it for their own good, but how could they choose to escape from Duhuo when their lover needed it most.
"That'...... So he took the prince with him. Ligu was still unwilling to continue to persuade.
"Leaving here is a lifetime of escape, and for Junchen, such an ending will be worse than death." She didn't know the character of Di Xiechen.
"But it's too risky to stay in Beihan." I don't want Yun Moxi to stay and bear all this.
"It's worth the risk, no matter how risky." Yun Moxi said firmly, "His foundation for many years can be resurrected once he recovers." If you escape, the foundation that has been built for so many years will really fall apart. It's even harder to re-establish it. ”
Ligu didn't know much about these things, but seeing her resolute attitude, she didn't say much anymore.
Yun Yueqi stood quietly, how could she not understand her heart. Seeing her forgetting her life and death for the sake of the evil spirit, her heart was very bitter and distressed.
"Is there any news from my grandfather?" At the moment this is the only hope.
"Not yet, after all, it is a strange poison in the world, maybe the old master's side will also need time to find the antidote."
My grandfather has always replied very quickly, but this time there has been no news, and even he was stumped this time!
Suddenly, there was a sound of walking in the tunnel outside, and Yun Yueqi flashed to the entrance to be on guard.
After a while, a chubby man walked in.
"Riki!" Yun Moxi shouted happily, and saw that his heart fell to the ground when he came back safely.
Yun Riqi was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and his chubby figure turned out to be the dress of a cook.
"The subordinate is back, how is the master?" He looked tired, but he was more concerned about his safety.
"All right, are you alright? After so many days, we were all worried. ”
"How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's injuries?" Yun Riqi has also been worried about this problem.
"There is no news from my grandfather yet, but fortunately it did not deteriorate. Why did the emperor die suddenly? She asked, guessing the answer in her heart.
Yun Riqi had a complicated look on his face, and said angrily: "Liu Jun was killed by someone!" ”
"They really murdered even the emperor? Who is it? She was shocked and angry, and although she had already guessed and worried in her heart, she still felt shocked and sad when everything came true.
After all, Liu Jun is the most important person to Junchen, and although he has no kindness to himself, he also knows that he has no malicious intent. He has long been treated as if he were his father.
Unexpectedly, such a loved one was also lost.
"Liu Jien!" Yun Riqi gritted his teeth and said.
"He is really ruthless, and he will do anything to get here. Although the emperor is not his biological father, he is also his uncle. After many years of nurturing, he was also very fond of him, and he was so ruthless. "I was disappointed and lamented that human nature and family affection were worthless before power.
"He can't do anything for the sake of the throne. The master ordered me to go out of the city to leave the palace, and the prince and the four guards were really being arrested everywhere inside and outside the city. The subordinates disguised themselves and had trade documents, and finally got out of the city. ”
"See the emperor?"
"See, I haven't arrived at the palace yet, and I met Liu Jun halfway. It turned out that his eyeliner had already spread the news to the palace. So he hurried to the capital. I was able to ask for an audience with the prince's token, and I told me what had happened. Liu Jun was very angry, so he ordered me to pretend to be a guard and follow him back to the palace. ”
"Where was the emperor killed?" Yun Moxi asked anxiously.
"I was back in the palace a few days ago."
"But there's no news in the capital!" Yun Yueqi said.
