Chapter 114 Strange Man
His eyes were red and he pressed forward step by step. Concubine Chen had always been at a disadvantage.
However, when he was about to control Concubine Chen, the farmer couple appeared again.
The farmer and his wife, holding a sword, joined the battle. It was one against three, and the situation was reversed again.
Concubine Chen easily found the opportunity. She seized the opportunity and suddenly slapped Zhai Qing with her palm. The speed was so fast that people had no time to react. The palm hit Zhai Qing directly in the heart.
Zhai Qing flew two meters away, fell to the ground, and vomited blood.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Chen slowly dusted herself off and said condescendingly,
"You don't know your own limitations, Zhai Shuangqing. If you want to die, I will send you off. Chu Heng won't live long anyway. You two can continue to love each other in the underworld."
As she spoke, she gathered her inner strength into her palms and flew towards Zhai Qing.
Just when she was about two meters away from Zhai Qing, a fierce palm wind came towards her from the opposite side. Concubine Chen was unable to dodge and collided with the internal force of the person who came. She was knocked back a long distance and fell to the ground after stumbling a few times.
When she looked carefully, she saw that the man had his face covered and was a man about fifty years old.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business?" Concubine Chen was furious.
The man did not answer. He pulled Zhai Qing up from the ground, lifted his toes off the ground, leaped up, and disappeared from their sight.
The mysterious man drove Zhai Qing all the way at a rapid speed and soon dropped Zhai Qing off at the gate of Zhaonan Mansion.
Zhai Qing felt the world spinning before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, the man had disappeared without a trace.
Zhai Qing struggled to get up from the ground and looked in the direction where the man disappeared. For some reason, the departing figure and the embrace when he was picked up before made him feel inexplicably familiar.
Zhai Qing shook his head, thinking that he was probably under too much pressure and was becoming a little confused. Then, he dragged his heavy steps and slowly walked into Zhaonan Mansion.
My chest still hurts from the palm strike from Concubine Chen just now. In order not to make Chu Heng worry, he sat down on a corridor near his yard, hoping to practice some breathing exercises to relieve the pain.
Just as Zhai Qing closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to circulate the internal energy in his body, a figure quietly appeared at the corner of the corridor. Jing Siye put his hands behind his back and walked over with steady steps.
When Zhai Qing heard footsteps, he suddenly opened his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
As Jing Siye approached, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously covered his chest, knelt on the ground with a plop, and then bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Jing Siye raised his eyebrows slightly, looked calmly at Zhai Qing who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a calm tone:
"What crime?"
Zhai Qing gritted his teeth. He knew in his heart that Jing Siye must have known long ago that the Crown Princess was Concubine Chen in disguise and that was why he deliberately revealed the news to him.
He slowly lowered his head and whispered, "The cold palace did not identify Senior Sister, and this time, she was unable to obtain the antidote."
Jing Siye nodded slightly, his expression still calm: "I will not blame you for not getting the antidote. After all, you are more anxious. But why didn't you identify her that day?"
Fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on Zhai Qing's forehead, and he felt extremely conflicted. After a moment, he spoke with difficulty:
"We are all fellow disciples, I really can't bear it, but I promise Your Majesty that I will get the antidote."
Jing Siye's eyes suddenly glared at Zhai Qing and asked:
"Do you know the person who saved you today?"
Upon hearing this, Zhai Qing raised his head abruptly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:
"You're following me?"
Jing Siye snorted coldly, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes:
"When you were hit by the palm and fell to the ground, my secret guard was about to rescue you, but that person got there first."
Zhai Qing frowned, trying to recall the scene at that time, and said slowly:
"He had his face covered, and I didn't recognize him, but his figure and movements gave me a sense of familiarity, as if I had seen him somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where."
Jing Siye's eyes were fixed on Zhai Qing's, carefully observing every expression and every slight change in his emotions. Seeing that the other party's eyes were frank and did not seem to be hiding anything, he relaxed his tense nerves slightly and continued to ask:
"The box in your room still won't open?"
Zhai Qing sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, and looked frustrated:
"I don't even know which direction to go. There's nothing on it except some Japanese characters and patterns."
After hearing this, Jing Siye slowly lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Various clues and possibilities quickly ran through my mind. After a long while, he slowly raised his head and said with a firm gaze:
"Concubine Chen's helpers will show up one after another. When they gather together, we will catch them all in one fell swoop. We must not let them have any chance to escape. In the next few days, you should pay more attention to their movements. If there is any movement, report it to me immediately."
Zhai Qing nodded slightly and replied:
"good……"
He paused, and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated and didn't say it.
Jing Siye keenly noticed his strangeness, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked:
"Anything else?"
Zhai Qing hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to say:
"Your Majesty, you don't intend to punish me?"
Jing Siye's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
"You are good at recognizing disguises. If you can get the antidote, I will spare you this time."
Zhai Qing quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
When Empress Xiao in the palace learned that Zhu Wenqin was pregnant, she was thinking every day about how to get the fetal blood and make a magic potion to deal with Jing Siye.
There are still three days before the enthronement, and Zhu Wenqin is becoming more and more anxious, as if Jing Siye will no longer belong to her once he becomes emperor.
Jing Siye managed to coax him into eating a little food every day, but he vomited it all out in less than half a day.
He looks listless and pale every day. Jing Siye didn't know how heartbroken he was.
He planned to bring Zhu Wenqin into the palace ahead of time so that he could adapt to the new environment, so as to avoid being unwell on the day of his enthronement.
Because Jing Siye had already made up his mind to make him the queen on the day he ascended the throne.
But I've been busy these days and can't be with him all the time. The new environment will only make him more anxious.
Jing Siye had no choice but to bring his mother-in-law into the palace. After all, as a woman, she should know more about this aspect.
On the way here, Zhu's mother had already digested the fact that her son was pregnant.
But when he entered the room and saw his son lying weakly in Jing Siye's arms, he felt mixed emotions.
