Just casually sighing about when she can retire, and Qing Yin’s system immediately assigns her a childbirth task.
System: ...
Qing Yin: "Hehe... that's really thanks to you....
Nangong Yi frowned, "Isn't she awake yet?"
Qingshuang took a deep breath and slowly turned to look at him. "Prince Su, aren't you asking about this knowingly? Although the antidote can cure the poison, it is also extremely harmful to the human body. Didn't you keep saying that you like my little sister? Is this how you like her?"
Nangong Yi had heard this too many times in the past few days and had lost the patience to explain. He just said, "She's awake. Remember to send someone to report it." Then he turned around and left in a hurry.
Qingshuang was still stunned for a moment.
No matter how harsh the words she said, this person would shamelessly stay here.
But he left so quickly today, and judging from his appearance, it seemed like something happened?
Just when Qingshuang was thinking about something, Qingyin reached out from under the quilt and pulled her, "Sister, I'm thirsty."
The voice was soft and a little hoarse, obviously he hadn't had any water for a long time.
Qingshuang hurriedly went outside and poured in a glass of water.
Qingyin drank several cups in a row before she felt like her throat was her own.
Qingshuang brought in a bowl of cold porridge and said with some guilt, "Now everyone here is Nangong Yi's people. I can't ask anyone to bring in food. You can just drink some first."
Fortunately, she had no appetite in the morning and did not touch the food that was served to her.
After eating a bowl of porridge, Qingyin still felt a little hungry.
But she knew she could only endure it for now. She swallowed the last mouthful of porridge in her mouth and asked, "What happened after I fell unconscious? Where are Nangong Yuan's people?"
Qingshuang shook her head. "After you fainted that day, I was also imprisoned here. I don't know what happened outside. However, the people serving here are all new faces. I think this place must have been controlled by Nangong Yi."
Qingyin hummed softly, "Don't worry, Nangong Yuan won't be tricked so easily. He will definitely come to save us."
Qingshuang didn't understand why her younger sister was so sure that the emperor would come to save them, and she thought with some worry.
Then she shook off the dejected thoughts in her mind and held Qingyin's hand. "Little sister, I'm sorry! I'm so stupid. If I hadn't given you that jade pendant, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
Seeing Qingyin lose a lot of weight in just three days, Qingshuang wanted to beat herself to death.
Qingyin smiled and comforted, "It's okay, this matter is in the past. For now, we have to think about how to get out of this predicament."
Qingshuang nodded. "Although I couldn't go out these past few days, I did keep an eye on it. Nangong Yi only comes at two fixed hours every day, but he postponed it today. And seeing how anxious he was just now, I think something must have happened."
Qingyin nodded, "Sister, go find me some clothes. Maybe now is the best time to leave."
After the two of them changed into light and simple clothes, Qingyin said, "Xiao Qi, can you help me find a place without guards?"
[Yinyin, Nangong Yuan has already led his troops here. I think it's best for you to wait here.]
Qingyin shook her head, "No, there's no guarantee that when Nangong Yi is forced into a desperate situation, he won't be so desperate as to drag me down with him."
Xiao Qi thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Although it can't be used for other purposes, it is still useful for seeing the road.
Qingshuang was nervous all the way.
Afraid of being caught by Nangong Yi's men.
So, even after leaving the Lama Temple, she was still a little uncertain, "So... you're not coming?"
Qingyin glanced at the dog hole she had just crawled out of and brushed off the dust and grass debris on her body. "Sister, let's go quickly. Once they realize we're not here, they'll definitely come after us."
Qingshuang didn't bother to sigh and nodded quickly.
The two of them struggled to make their way through the reeds that were taller than a person.
I don’t know how long they walked, but just when Qingyin and Qingshuang breathed a sigh of relief, they heard the sound of close combat.
Qingshuang subconsciously pulled Qingyin, and the noise made by the two instantly alarmed Nangong Yuan.
He motioned to the guard next to him to check.
The moment he saw Qingyin, Nangong Yuan walked over and took her into his arms without thinking, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Qingyin froze in his arms, then gently pushed him away, "Your Majesty, this is against etiquette..."
Qingshuang felt as if her whole body was broken. What did she just see?
The emperor held his little sister in his arms.
Nangong Yuan stepped back slightly, "Is the Gu gone?"
Qingyin nodded slightly.
Knowing that the poison had been removed, Nangong Yuan felt relieved.
After he fainted in the Golden Palace that day, he never woke up again. He just watched his body being eaten away by the darkness bit by bit.
However, Nangong Yan's figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
He knew this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the monk that my mother had asked for the amulet was found.
Between staying and leaving, Nangong Yan...
Thinking of this, he suppressed his sadness and said to the guards beside him: "Surround and kill Nangong Yi, regardless of life or death."
Qingshuang's eyes flickered, but she finally lowered her head slightly.
That person's life or death never depended on her.
Qingshuang looked up and back, and saw endless reeds swaying in the wind. She smiled with relief, then turned around resolutely and left with Qingyin.
Nangong Yi didn't expect that he was just one step away, just that one step, and he was defeated in the end.
Holding a broken sword, he looked at Nangong Yuan in embarrassment, "Winner takes all, loser, I accept it! But, Nangong Yuan, do you think you really won?"
Nangong Yuan rode on his horse, looking down at Nangong Yi, as if he was looking at a pitiful ant barking at itself, "You think I am really rare for this position. If you could be more decisive three years ago, perhaps..."
Nangong Yi was shocked and furious. Yes, if he had been more decisive three years ago, there would be no Nangong Yuan.
At that time, he had already found out about Nangong Yuan and wanted to wipe him out completely, but he was rescued by his brother's men.
That's right.
Nangong Yuan's mother did not die at the hands of his royal brother, but was killed by someone he ordered to disguise himself as his royal brother.
He saw it as he wished.
Nangong Yuan treated his royal brother as his enemy and even watched him being eaten away by the poison step by step.
Now thinking about it, it was really one wrong step that led to all the wrong steps.
He thought he had been dormant for three years, but unexpectedly, it was Nangong Yuan who had been hiding his talents for three years.
Nangong Yuan knew from his expression that he had fallen into regret again, and sneered, "Alright, let's send Prince Su on his way."
After saying this, he rode away without stopping.
Nangong Yuan has not returned to the capital yet, but everyone in the capital is already feeling insecure.
But before they could react, the outside of the mansion was already heavily guarded.
Ye Mansion.
Ye Wanying lay powerlessly on the ground, looking at Ye Tingting in horror, "You, you dare..."
His words were just like any other, but because he had been drugged, he was already out of breath after only saying three words.
