Chapter 9: I'm Back
[Ahh Zheng Xiyao had just escaped from her eldest brother's sphere of influence, she rubbed her nose and wondered, "Who misses me?" 】
After a night of traveling, Zheng Xiyao escaped from the capital overnight.
She took a few sips of tea in a tea house and planned the direction of the future.
[System, check the nearby situation.] 】
[Turn on environment detection, scan character information, scanning... Scan Result: None of Suspicious Persons, None of Dangerous Goods: None]
[Did he really give up?] Zheng Xiyao was a little flustered, she knew the male protagonist, and she was never the kind of person who would give up easily. Back then, in order to be literate, he actually begged for fish in the cold winter and made soup for a little eunuch, just to get the simplest "Three Character Classic".
So, how could he give up her as an 'enemy'.
[System, plan the nearest route to Yongguo. 】
[Okay, turn on the map planning mode, the system is loading, please wait for ......]
Zheng Xiyao had a headache and held her forehead, picked up the cold tea on the table, and drank it all.
She looked at the people around her who stayed in the tea house, basically all of them were peddlers, pawns, or some merchants. Sit down together and talk about the world.
"You also came out of the capital?"
"But no, the capital is not peaceful, let's not mix blindly with these little people, and get angry."
"What's the matter, I'm still holding a truckload of goods to go to the capital."
"If you want me to say, don't go, now everyone in the capital is in danger. It seems that she is catching some young lady from the Qingguo Mansion."
"Qingguo Mansion, the general Qingguo Mansion who protects the country?"
"No, it's more than that. I heard that this young lady offended the emperor and implicated the entire Qingguo Mansion and sent them to prison. Two hundred and thirteen people. I heard that even the three-year-old children of the son of the world did not let go. ”
"Oh, what a sin."
"But no, that's a century-old family, that's ......"
The teacup in the woman's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Zheng Xiyao's face turned pale and looked at the two traders who said Hu, and he jumped up and grabbed a little brother and asked, "Are you just talking about the Qingguo Mansion that has been guarding the frontier for 20 years?" ”
was startled by the woman's sudden movements; "Yes, yes."
After Zheng Xiyao got a definite answer, she ran in the opposite direction desperately.
[Host, rest for a while, you haven't eaten for a day and a night. If this continues......]
Zheng Xiyao did not respond, and the first thing she did after returning to the capital was the situation of the Qingguo Mansion in the hall.
But the strange thing is that all the people are basically silent and secretive.
After listening to the system's advice, she really felt a little dizzy. Intuitively, she found the steamed bun shop last time.
"Little brother, here are two steamed buns."
"Okay!" As he spoke, the little brother filled him with two steaming steamed buns.
Zheng Xiyao took the steamed bun, and inadvertently saw that this vendor was very familiar, isn't this the steamed bun brother in Nancheng.
"Little brother, you're not selling steamed buns in Nancheng, why did you come here?"
"Ah, girl, have you seen my brother?" It turns out that this little brother has twins, and the younger brother opens a shop in Nancheng to sell steamed buns, and he sells them in the capital.
"That's a coincidence."
"Isn't it?"
"Little brother, like you to inquire about something, do you know what has happened in the capital recently? Why are there so few people on the streets? ”
"Big deal?" The little brother hesitated, and then suddenly said; "Oh, there's one thing that is. I heard that the house of the Qingguo Mansion was raided two days ago, and today is the day of their execution. A lot of people went to see it. ”
"You say... Execute? When Zheng Xiyao heard this, her body couldn't stop shaking, and her blood was on her head, she suddenly covered her mouth and coughed twice.
"Girl, you're coughing up blood, what's going on." The steamed bun brother was shocked and asked with concern.
Zheng Xiyao shook her head lifelessly: "It's okay, it's okay." Then he turned around and walked in the direction of the palace with a firm step.
[Host, what are you going to do, don't look for death!] 】
[I... They must be saved. Zheng Xiyao gritted her teeth and said.
……
The inner city of the Royal Palace
Zheng Xiyao entered the imperial city smoothly, and according to the route in his memory, he came to the emperor's residence, Weiyang Palace.
She didn't go in, and knelt straight in the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, the sinner Zheng Xiyao asks to see you, please treat Xiyao's sins and spare the sinner's family."
Zheng Xiyao shouted loudly while kowtowing and pleading.
However, no one responded.
"Your Majesty, the sinner Zheng Xiyao asks to see you, please treat Xiyao's sins and spare the sinner's family."
Zheng Xiyao kept shouting and knocking. There is no emotion in the eyes.
And so an hour passed, and the door of the main hall was not opened.
After a while, the clouds were thick, and it rained heavily, Zheng Xiyao knelt in the rain and shivered, his body couldn't stop trembling, but he was still praying for Liu Siyan to open his net.
"She's still on her knees?"
"Your Majesty, Miss Zheng is still kneeling, and ......"
"If you have something to say, do what you want."
Miss Zheng didn't look very good, and her forehead could be broken. With such a heavy rain, Miss Zheng may not be able to stand it, and it will not be good if she catches the wind cold. ”
Liu Siyan was silent, standing in front of the window expressionlessly looking at Zheng Xiyao in the rain. A complicated look flashed in his eyes.
"What did I ask you to prepare?" Liu Siyan asked in a deep voice.
Chief Eunuch: "It's ready, Your Majesty." ”
Liu Siyan nodded, pushed open the door, and walked towards Zheng Xiyao surrounded by everyone.
[System, you've been raining for too long.] I can't hold on, stop. Zheng Xiyao complained.
[I can't stop now, this special weather card does not have the function of temporary cancellation, and the usage time of each card is fixed. 】
Zheng Xiyao helplessly complained [System, do you have an opinion? Well? 】
System: [Hehe, how could it be.] However, you still want to think about how to deal with the male protagonist now? He's coming. 】
Zheng Xiyao watched Liu Siyan walk in, her heartbeat gradually accelerated, and she suddenly became nervous.
All of a sudden, memories of the past came flooding back.
"You're back."
"yes, I'm back."
The two seem to have a tacit understanding of questions and answers.
Liu Siyan looked down at Zheng Xiyao and asked with interest: "What is Yao'er kneeling here doing, is it making me feel distressed?"
Zheng Xiyao ignored the male protagonist's ridicule and looked directly into the male protagonist's eyes; "It was I who betrayed you, and I tortured you in the first place. It's all my fault, and I'm willing to take it all by myself. Your Majesty, let my family go. ”
"But, Yao'er, you're not well-behaved, you always want to run away, how can I trust you."
"Your Majesty, what do you have to do to let them go."
Liu Siyan beckoned, and his subordinates brought up what had been prepared a long time ago - it was a bottle of medicine.
He picked up the medicine bottle and handed it to Zheng Xiyao: "Let me rest assured, just drink it." ”
Zheng Xiyao didn't ask, and drank it without hesitation.
"You don't even ask, what did you drink?"
"Whatever it is, as long as you can spare them, I'll drink it."
"It's seven dispersions."
Zheng Xiyao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty really looks up to me." "It is said that the Seven Absolute Scatters is a rare elixir in the world, and it is made of seven kinds of herbs and seven kinds of poisonous herbs.
It can detoxify all kinds of poisons, but at the same time, it also makes life worse than death.
When taking this medicine, you must take this medicine uninterrupted every once in a while, otherwise you will suffer the pain of ten thousand ants devouring your heart, alternating between ice and fire.
The preparation of this medicine varies from person to person, and the method of making it is also different.
So, she's stuck here.
Liu Siyan beckoned, took the umbrella, and pulled Zheng Xiyao into the umbrella.
She smelled the woody smell of the man's body, and for some reason she felt a sense of reassurance.
For some reason, she was dizzy, and before she lost consciousness, she was still begging the male protagonist to give a definite answer: "Let my family go, okay?" ”
The man put his hand over her eyes and whispered; "As Qing wishes.".
When she heard the exact answer, she was relieved and fell asleep.
