Chapter 9: An Oolong

When I got out of bed, I found Xiahou Ying on the ground with a flushed face and a smile, and I bent down to pick up my skirt. So Xiahou Ying's wet lower body was exposed to the air, and I thought for a moment and covered my skirt again.

Willow chuckled behind him, "Let's sleep like this, I've already seen your body anyway." ”

"So what should she do? Do you just sleep on the ground all night? I couldn't bear to say.

"Leave her alone, rest quickly, I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."

I nodded slightly, thinking that it was hot now, and it shouldn't matter if I slept on the ground all night.

That night, Willow slept unusually peacefully, and I lay on his chest, looking at his beautiful eyebrows and eyes through the faint light of the window screen, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

It's me who has too much heart, I shouldn't have doubted his heart for me a long time ago, if Xiahou Ying was really important to him, then he wouldn't have left everything to come to me in the first place.

The next morning I woke up in a warm morning light, I turned over and got out of bed to see Xiahou Ying still lying on the ground, but her face was a little abnormally pale. The short body pushed her shoulder, but there was no response, and I reached out to probe her snort, and I froze in place for an instant and couldn't move.

Wei Luo saw me squatting on the ground in a daze in my dirty clothes, and reached out to hug me, I hurriedly grabbed his palm and said in a trembling voice: "Oh no, Xiahou Ying...... She's dead! ”

"What?" Willow obviously felt unexpected, he quickly got out of bed, squatted down and examined it carefully, and then sighed deeply, "Judging from the stiffness of the corpse, it should have been out of breath last night...... I didn't expect this Soul Hooking Pill to be so powerful. ”

"Now that she's dead, it's even more difficult for us to save your mother, and if you don't know what, you'll be hunted down by that Xiahou Ye." I lowered my head and sighed as I stared at Xiahou Ying's cold corpse.

Wei Luo and I transported Xiahou Ying's body outside the city, and found a secluded forest to bury her, although she was not killed by our own hands, but after all, we have nothing to do with her death, so my mood has been depressed.

As Willow left the woods and came to the ancient road outside the east gate of Long City, a carriage with a black curtain stopped on the side of the road. Willow stepped forward slowly, coughed lightly, and said, "Come out!" ”

"See the second master!" Several men in black stepped out of the carriage one after another, and bowed to Vero in unison.

Willow waved for them to be excused, and then anxiously asked, "Is there any news of Jiuli?" ”

"Back to the second master, Jiuli should still be trapped in the palace, whether he is just alive or dead is unknown." A leading man in black replied respectfully.

Wei Luo frowned and whispered: "Now we don't have many people, and it's really not easy to sneak directly into the palace to save people. Su Che has dismissed all the officials I valued before, and now it is up to you to do so. ”

"The second master has the grace of knowing his subordinates, and his subordinates are willing to go to the soup for the second master. Please also ask the second master to return to the inn and wait for news, we will find a way to rescue the old lady. After speaking, the man in black in the lead turned around and took the lead in getting into the carriage, and the rest of the men in black saluted Willow and left with him.

"Didn't you say you've dismissed the Dark Guard?" I couldn't help but ask, a little confused.

Vello took me by the shoulder and whispered as he walked into the city, "They've always been in Lontz, they've never left. ”

I didn't expect that there were such loyal and courageous people around Vero, with his current identity, those people could go to Su Che, but they still only worked for Verlo alone.

We returned to the inn and waited for two days, and finally received a message from the secret guards, who secretly infiltrated the palace and successfully rescued Willow's mother, but Jiuli still did not hear from him.

As we were about to leave Long in our carriage, we were surrounded by Su Che's army. Willow lifted the curtain and looked at the crowd of people who stopped in front of the carriage, and quietly stepped out of the carriage.

I sat in the carriage with his mother, looking worriedly at the situation in front of me.

Su Che stood in the middle of the crowd with a clear expression in a bright yellow dragon robe, and when he saw Wei Luo, he stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Since my brother has returned to Yiguo, why don't you go back to the palace with my younger brother." ”

"Do I have any other choice now?" Willow shook his head and smiled bitterly, then looked back at me deeply, and I nodded firmly at him, having decided to live and die with Willow, I was not afraid of this catastrophe in front of me.

Su Che's men welcomed us into the palace in a carriage, and although he was outwardly courteous to us, I still felt uncomfortable being coerced.

In the Qiushi Hall of Yeyang Palace, Su Che ordered the inner eunuch and the maid to retreat, and only Su Che, Wei Luo and me were left in the hall, as well as Wei Luo's mother and relatives.

"Two days ago, someone sneaked into the palace, the younger brother thought that someone wanted to be unfavorable to the old lady, so he accidentally injured the elder brother, if the younger brother has something to misunderstand the elder brother, please also ask the younger brother to give the younger brother a chance to explain." Su Che humbly said to Willow, who was sitting in the armchair.

Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, could it really be that we misunderstood him? But what if he wants to remove the officials who were previously reused by Willow?

"Where's Jiuli? We were trapped in Tongshan that day, and our lives hung by a thread, so you didn't send troops to save you? Clearly not believing his words, Willow turned his head slightly.

Wei Luo's mother supported her forehead with one hand, coughed lightly with a sick face, and then continued Su Che's words: "Che'er has always taken good care of me, as for what you said about asking for help, he doesn't know, as for that Jiuli, I think he ran for his life." ”

After listening to her, I almost hit my head on the table, why didn't she make it clear when the secret guard tried so hard to rescue her, and followed us into the carriage so cooperatively, and deduced such a big oolong......

"Oh?" Wei Luo stared at Su Che's eyes suspiciously, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know how to trust you now." ”

"In that case, I can only prove my innocence by returning the throne to my brother." Su Che straightened up lightly, and strode out of the Qiushi Hall without waiting for Wei Luo's answer.

After he left, I still wondered, did Su Che, who returned the throne so easily, really have a city as I thought before?

"Since Che intends to return the throne to you, then follow his wishes! My mother can't stand any toss anymore when I'm old, I just hope that you can let me spend the rest of my days safely. Wei Luo's mother frowned slightly, and instantly returned to the appearance of when she was the queen mother, and said sharply: "I heard that Concubine Zhao gave birth to a son, but you should have not seen each other for nearly a year, and it is better to find out the identity of this child, after all, the bloodline of the royal family's heirs cannot be confused." ”
