The man outside could no longer bear it when he heard the other party calling him Hu Zi.
"Your Majesty, please save them. I am willing to tell you everything you want to know."
Shangguan Lingyun didn't say anything. Seeing this, the man named Hu Zi immediately knelt down beside Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Empress, please be kind and save them. They are innocent."
"Whatever you want me to do, or whatever you want to know, just ask me. I promise to tell you everything I know."
"Empress, please save them, please."
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but just looked at him with a smile.
After a long time, Hu Zi suddenly thought of something and spoke impatiently.
"I see. I know where the herbs you want are."
"As long as you save my family, I will go and find the herbs you want for you right now."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Shangguan Lingyun with a smile. Shangguan Lingyun nodded, and then Wang Xiao led his men in and rushed in.
When Hu Zi saw this, he collapsed to the ground, and then he saw Ye Xiaoxiao looking at him.
"Sun Hu, right? I have done what I promised. Now it's up to you."
"You know, Shangguan Yu was planning to kill you and your family, and you just stole a herb from him."
Sun Hu gritted his teeth, not caring about the injuries on his body, kowtowed to Ye Xiaoxiao and turned to leave.
Tianxuan wanted to say something, but Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and shook her head.
"Although Sun Hu is a desperate criminal, he is a very filial person."
"Now that his family is in our hands, we are not afraid of him playing any tricks."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Wang Xiao had already appeared in front of everyone with Sun Hu's family.
"How dare you not pay your respects to His Majesty and His Majesty?"
Sun Hu's family had never seen such a scene before. They were desperately trying to escape for their lives one moment, and the next moment they actually saw the emperor and empress.
His legs went weak and he immediately knelt down in front of the two men. Without even seeing what they looked like, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard.
"Your Majesty, please spare me. Your Majesty, please spare me."
Ye Xiaoxiao was impatient to see them crying, so she pulled Shangguan Lingyun's sleeve and signaled him to take her away with her.
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, then hugged Ye Xiaoxiao and left.
However, they did not return to the palace, but appeared in the former Prince Yu's Mansion.
Shortly after they arrived, Ye Xiaoxiao keenly discovered that Sun Hu had also sneaked in.
They didn't disturb anyone, but just found an empty room and waited quietly.
However, not long after Sun Hu sneaked in, he was discovered by the secret guards of Shangguandu.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Emperor's courtyard? Do you want to die?"
As Shangguan Yu's subordinate, Sun Hu naturally knew that she lived with the retired emperor.
"Your Excellency has misunderstood. I am Sun Hu, sent by His Royal Highness Prince Yu to deliver a letter to the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, the secret guard raised his eyebrows and said, "Humph, how dare you! Prince Yu? He has already been demoted to a commoner."
"Besides, don't you know that the person His Majesty the Emperor hates the most right now is Shangguan Yu?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hu immediately stepped forward to explain, but the secret guard put a knife to his neck.
"You're so bold, you're seeking death."
"Please spare my life, sir. I am here to deliver news of the antidote to the Emperor."
When the secret guard heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing and asked in confusion.
"Do you know anything about the antidote?"
"Your Majesty, His Majesty and the Queen have gathered most of the antidotes."
"There are only two left, but one of them is in Shangguan Yu's hands."
"He sent me here today just to get a promise from His Majesty the Emperor."
"If you kill me, and Shangguan Yu destroys the antidote, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Sun Hu spoke more confidently, and the secret guards became a little hesitant when they saw this.
"Sir, you can see from my appearance that I can't escape. Why don't you go and ask His Majesty the Emperor?"
"If Your Majesty really wants to deal with me regardless of the antidote, then it won't be too late for you to come back and kill me then, right?"
When the secret guard heard this, he realized that this was indeed the case, so he looked at his companions.
"Keep an eye on him while I go and speak to His Majesty."
The man nodded, and the previous secret guard went back to report.
However, just as that person was going back, another group of people also sneaked in quietly out of sight.
The secret guard was busy reporting the situation, so he didn't notice anything unusual.
When he arrived at Shangguan Du's room, he heard Shangguan Du's slightly old voice.
"What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you see I'm practicing?"
The secret guard knelt and saluted, "Your Majesty, there is a man outside the door claiming to be Shangguan Yu's subordinate, saying he is here to deliver a letter."
Shangguan Du frowned deeply when he heard Shangguan Yu's name.
"What tricks is he going to play?"
"Your Majesty, the messenger said that the Emperor and Empress have returned, and they have gathered a large amount of antidote during their trip."
"Now, all that's missing is one without leaves and another without stems."
"The person who came also said that Shangguan Yu has leafless medicinal herbs, but he wants to negotiate a condition with you."
Shangguan Du lost control of his temper when he heard this, and slammed his right hand hard on the table in front of him.
"Asshole, even at this time, you still haven't changed your bad habits."
"Don't think that just because he and I are connected by a poison, he can act recklessly."
"Now that rebellious son Shangguan Lingyun is about to gather all the herbs, when that happens, I will peel his skin off with my own hands."
