Chapter 105 Fetal Blood Can Work
Zhu Wenqin was restless in Zhaonan Palace and couldn't eat. The medicinal porridge prepared by Qi Feng had to be warmed up several times, and Chen Lian was so anxious that she paced back and forth beside her.
At the same time, Jing Sirui was anxiously accompanying him, and he kept persuading him:
"Sister-in-law, you must take good care of yourself. My second brother will be fine."
"Guard Lu took my second brother's military token and gave it to General Li. General Li led 8,000 elite soldiers to attack the palace. There are 30,000 troops waiting in the city. The Chi Ming Sect of Sect Leader Nangong has also been dispatched."
Zhu Wenqin half-leaned on the couch with his back furrowed. He knew that what Jing Sirui said made sense, but he just couldn't feel at ease until Jing Siye returned safely.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and Zhu Wenqin had only drunk two bowls of pregnancy-preserving medicinal soup, and could not eat any staple food at all.
Just as the people in the room were angry and anxious, Chu Heng pushed the door open with all his strength. He was excited but afraid of disturbing the person on the bed, so he lowered his voice and cheered:
"General Li succeeded. The prince has taken control of the palace. They are all safe."
Chu Heng's voice was choked with sobs when he finished speaking. He was also worried about his master.
Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Wenqin's eyes finally brightened up. He sat up, with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on his face, and asked:
"When will the prince come back?"
Chu Heng: "The prince and my master went to Qinghe Palace. They must have something important to do."
"Then...is Guard Xue injured?" Qi Feng on the side couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Chu Heng: "I haven't heard of it. Everything should be fine. Anyway, I heard that the prince's arm was chopped off, and the emperor... was also under house arrest."
"It was cut off. Who cut it off? My second brother?"
"No, it's the Emperor."
After hearing this, everyone waited in disbelief for Chu Heng's next words.
Chu Heng saw them looking at him with doubtful eyes, and waved his hands and said:
"I'm telling the truth. I just got it from the guard who just came back from being injured. I don't know anything else."
Jing Sirui nodded thoughtfully: "I also think that my second brother would not do this." Then, he looked at Zhu Wenqin on the couch and continued:
"Guard Zhu, drink some porridge and get yourself together. If my brother doesn't come back tomorrow, I will take you to the palace and have you carried in by a sedan chair."
Zhu Wenqin was so excited when he heard this that he nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I'll drink it now."
In the sky prison, Jing Sixuan's wound was wrapped with layer upon layer of bandages. Although hemostatic medicine was applied, blood was still oozing out.
Bai Zhuo was in pain and helpless and could only help him change it again and again. Fortunately, Jing Siye, seeing that he had been loyal to him for so many years, agreed to let the Imperial Hospital get medicine for him.
It was not known how many times he had to stop the bleeding. Both of their clothes were stained with blood. Jing Sixuan slightly opened his eyes and looked at Bai Zhuo, whose hair was disheveled and who looked extremely embarrassed. He spoke weakly:
"Azhuo,...get out, this place...is not suitable for you."
Hearing this, Bai Zhuo cried and shook his head desperately: "Your Highness, please stop talking. Ah Zhuo will not leave. Wherever Your Highness is, Ah Zhuo will be there."
"Azhuo, I... am no longer your highness... Azhuo, I'm sorry..."
"Your Highness, ... it is Ah Zhuo who has let you down. Ah Zhuo will always be by your side from now on. Your Highness, please don't chase Ah Zhuo away."
After Bai Zhuo finished speaking, he carefully hugged Jing Sixuan, put his head on his shoulder, and his arms tightened more and more.
Jing Siye looked through all of Concubine Chen's books but found nothing. He wondered to himself: Are these books really just decorations?
After all the effort he put in to find no useful clues, Jing Siye was so angry that he punched the three books piled beside him.
Suddenly, there were a few creaking sounds, and the cabinet next to it began to turn, revealing a secret room.
Jing Siye and Zhai Qing looked at each other, then took the candle and walked in without hesitation.
There was another smell of medicine inside. Jing Siye opened a few boxes at random, and they were all filled with bottles and jars of medicine. He didn't know much about these, so he opened them and threw them to Zhai Qing.
He looked at some books on the shelf and was just flipping through them casually, but the handwriting on one of the books caught his attention.
This handwriting looks familiar. Jing Siye looked at Zhai Qing and thought about the family letters he found in his house. He had never said anything when he asked him before, but he should be able to ask him now.
Jing Siye took the book and asked, "Zhai Qing, take a look at this handwriting. Is it your senior sister's or your master's?"
Zhai Qing took it, took a look and said, "It's from Master, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Siye was silent for a long time, and Nangong Ling's words flashed through his mind. So, the one who tricked his master into going to Beijing was naturally his master. However, it was also this handwriting that framed Li Xiao. Why is this related to Prime Minister Wei's wife?
Jing Siye was puzzled. Could it be that the Prime Minister's wife was in cahoots with her?
Jing Siye fell into deep thought for a long time, and was brought back to his senses by Zhai Qing's exclamation:
"My Lord, I found it..."
"What did you find?"
Jing Siye looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Bai Zhuo carrying a two-foot-wide iron box and placing it on the table. There was incomprehensible Japanese writing on it.
Zhai Qing suppressed his inner excitement and said, "It contains a medicine book, which was left by the master and their ancestors. It contains the configuration of various drugs and the methods of detoxification."
Jing Siye: "So, the antidote for the Soul Shattering Powder is also included in it?"
Zhai Qing: "Of course, but I can't understand the words, and there's no way to open the box. I guess the key is with my sister."
Jing Siye: "Take it back, there will always be a way to open it."
Zhai Qing nodded and was about to move the table out when he ran into Nangong Ling who was rushing over.
"You two, take a look... Wow, what a great thing this is?"
Nangong Ling's medicine bottle was still in the air. When she saw the big box in Zhai Qing's hand, she immediately changed the subject.
"Let's talk about it when we get back," Jing Siye said in a deep voice, "What did you want to say just now?"
Nangong Ling: “…”
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
…
On the floor of the cold palace, Concubine Chen, disguised as a palace maid, knelt at Empress Xiao's feet, kowtowed to the ground and begged for mercy.
"Master, please forgive me. I was just too anxious."
Empress Xiao narrowed her eyes, her eyes gleaming coldly, "So many years of hard work have been destroyed. This mission has failed, and neither you nor I can return to Japan. Is it enough for you to just say a word of apology?"
Concubine Chen bowed her head to the ground again and begged for mercy:
"Master, please give me a chance because I have followed you for so long. I will tear Jing Siye into pieces and help you complete your mission."
Empress Xiao sneered and said, "I'll give you one chance. What chance do we have? If you had told your master before seeing Zhai Qing yesterday, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
Concubine Chen: "Master, last time you designed to make me leave the palace and return to Japan, didn't I get the recipe for the magic potion? We just need to... wait for the opportunity."
Empress Xiao laughed sarcastically: "Waiting for an opportunity? Are you crazy? The magic potion requires the blood of your own and your spouse's fetus as a medicine to work."
"It's only been half a year since I entered the palace disguised as the queen, and I already know how much Jing Siye loves that little guard. Are you going to let that man have a child?"
Concubine Chen bowed her head and said slowly: "If Jing Siye seizes power, he will definitely be the emperor. How can the emperor be without a queen? How can he only love that little guard?"
