Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Return
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Jinlan and was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Then let's go together!" ”
She felt that if something really happened in the palace, with Xiao Jinlan and others there, it would be good to take care of it.
At the very least, she can use them to create some chaos, and when the time comes, she can take advantage of the chaos and leave.
Xiao Jinlan didn't know that Xiao Yan was going to sell them, he was so excited that he couldn't speak when he heard Xiao Yan say it.
He knew that as long as he worked hard, his sister would definitely forgive him.
So, he said, "Then sister, let's go!" ”
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth moved slightly, and she didn't say anything, but after entering the city, she whispered a word to Qiu Langya beside her.
Except for the two of them, no third person heard what was being said.
Qiu Langya was surprised when she heard this, but she didn't say anything, just left quickly.
As soon as Qiu Langya left, Gonggong Mo appeared.
Grandpa Mo's actions seemed to be a little stiff, and his expression was not very natural, but he still tried his best to cover it up.
Remember the URL
He came to Xiao Yan and Xiao Jinlan and said, "Your Majesty knows that the two of you are back, so you have specially asked the servants to come to greet you, please follow me into the palace and meet Your Majesty!" ”
Xiao Yan raised her eyebrows, didn't she say that Your Majesty was sick? How can I can't wait to see them as soon as I get back.
She said tentatively: "We came back in the dust, and we were cold, but we were afraid that we would pass the cold to Your Majesty." Why don't we go back and bathe and change our clothes, and then go to see Your Majesty?" ”
Gonggong Mo's expression paused slightly, and there seemed to be a bit of hesitation in his eyes.
It's just that he quickly spoke: "Your Majesty is already waiting for the two of you, don't delay the two of you, let's hurry up and follow the servants into the palace!" ”
When Xiao Yan heard this, she fell silent and didn't say anything more.
Xiao Jinlan didn't doubt him, and said, "Then please ask your father-in-law to lead the way!" ”
When Gonggong Mo heard this, he hurriedly said, "Two please." ”
-
Xiao Jinlan originally took several generals into the palace to face the saint together.
But when they came to the palace, the other generals were told that His Majesty was unwell and only met Xiao Jinlan and Xiao Yan.
So, everyone else was left behind.
When Xiao Yan followed Gonggong Mo to the deep palace, she glanced back at the soldiers who were left behind.
She felt some regret.
I thought that if more people went together, even if there was an emergency, it could create a chaos, but I could take the opportunity to leave.
It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, only she and Xiao Jinlan were left.
Gonggong Mo took the two of them all the way to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Then, Gonggong Mo asked the two of them to wait, and then entered the Heart Cultivation Palace.
At this time, Xiao Jinlan said to Xiao Yan: "Don't you think it's very wrong?" ”
Xiao Yan nodded: "There are no palace people on the road, no guards. Actually, there's one thing I didn't tell you. Tianwuwei has asked to see His Majesty these days, but he has not seen it. ”
Xiao Jinlan's eyes widened: "You say, did something happen to Your Majesty?" ”
Xiao Yan was silent.
She had such a conjecture in her heart, but such a conjecture was actually quickly denied in her heart.
Because her senior brother Bai Langfeng is by His Majesty's side, it is impossible for His Majesty to have an accident.
That's why she's here.
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't speak, Xiao Jinlan frowned tightly and continued to ask, "What should we do now?" ”
Xiao Yan sighed slightly and said, "Maybe Your Majesty is sick and likes to be quiet, so he withdrew the palace people!" So far, you can only take one step at a time! ”
When Xiao Jinlan heard this, her face became a little gloomy.
At this time, Grandpa Mo walked out and said, "Come in with me!" ”
Xiao Yan and Xiao Jinlan listened, and followed Gonggong Mo into the Heart Cultivation Palace.
When they came to the hall, Xiao Yan and Xiao Jinlan did see Li Chengqian, but it was Li Chengqian lying in the crystal coffin.
Xiao Yan was shocked and looked at Grandpa Mo.
Xiao Jinlan also asked Grandpa Mo in shock, "What's the matter?" What the hell is going on? ”
Gonggong Mo lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty has died, it is poisoning!" ”
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she asked Gonggong Mo, "What about my senior brother?" ”
The fifth senior brother was originally a strong man with poison, how could he let His Majesty be poisoned to death?
Gonggong Mo continued: "Bai Gongzi is missing, three days before His Majesty was poisoned and died, Bai Gongzi disappeared out of thin air in the palace. In order to find Bai Gongzi, His Majesty asked the forbidden army to secretly visit the palace, but he never found it. On the third day of Bai Gongzi's disappearance, His Majesty was fine in the morning, but at noon, he vomited blood directly. The doctor looked at it and said that the poison had entered the bone marrow and could not be cured. ”
Gonggong Mo paused and continued: "No one knows where this poison came from? No one knows how this poison got into His Majesty's body! After Bai Gongzi disappeared, every day the imperial doctor asked His Majesty for peace and sound, but he didn't find anything unusual. ”
Xiao Yan's movements froze, and her head went blank for a moment.
She had never doubted her senior brother, and even at this moment, she hoped that this matter had nothing to do with her fifth senior brother.
But if it's not the fifth senior brother, then who still has such a ability?
When Xiao Yan was thinking about it, Gonggong Mo suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Jinlan and Xiao Yan.
Xiao Jinlan was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Grandpa Mo, and said, "Grandpa Mo, why did you suddenly make this big gift?" How can we afford such a gift? ”
Xiao Yan stood aside, the corners of her mouth pulled a slight arc, and said sarcastically: "He should naturally salute us." ”
Xiao Jinlan glanced at Xiao Yan with some puzzlement.
Xiao Yan continued: "If I'm not mistaken, we will soon become substitutes!" ”
Hearing this, Gonggong Mo looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Miss Xiao Yan, there is no way for a slave. In this matter, there is no culprit to be found, according to this situation, everyone in the palace that day has to die, and no one can survive. ”
Gonggong Mo paused and continued: "The prince is merciful and can forgive us. But the crown prince said that the responsibility for assassinating His Majesty still needs to be shouldered. And the most suitable candidates are two! That's why the crown prince will give an order, keep it secret, and announce to the outside world that His Majesty is seriously ill and wait for the two to come back! ”
"Now the two of them have returned, and they have come to this temple of heart cultivation. I can only ask the two to resist the crime of assassinating the emperor! Grandpa Mo said seriously.
Xiao Jinlan didn't expect things to happen like this.
His eyes widened, he looked at Gonggong Mo, and said in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”
Father-in-law Mo naturally knew that Xiao Jinlan had already understood, so he didn't repeat the incident, but just said: "In order to save more than a thousand lives in the palace, the servants have no other way!" ”
