Chapter 448 Old Man Dou was rescued
Mu Qing came to the mountain where Old Man Dou lived, and his heart skipped a beat.
There were traces of a fierce fight here, and several corpses were lying next to the hut. Judging from the clothes the corpses were wearing, they should be the prince's men.
Could it be that Old Man Dou has been arrested?
He clenched his fists and walked into the cabin with a heavy expression, only to find a note on the table.
At the bottom of the mountain, Hu Xin'er, who was waiting anxiously, looked at the note, shocked and regretful: "What? Godfather was attacked by the prince's men?"
If they had known earlier, they should have put Old Man Dou in a safe place.
Mu Qing consoled him, "I think your Majesty's men arrived just in time and took him back to the capital. He should be in the palace now."
Hu Xiner was a little embarrassed. Doesn't that mean she would have to go to the palace to face the emperor, her nominal father?
This biological father saved the godfather, and the situation was inexplicably embarrassing...
Jiang Yao was very calm: "Xin'er, let's just pretend to be nice and get your godfather out. After he prescribes the medicine, we'll announce to the dog emperor that we're severing our ties."
Hu Xin'er was even more embarrassed: "Aunt, are we sure we have to be so tough?"
Taoist Master Yiqing also said worriedly: "If we anger the emperor, we will be hunted down again."
The emperor certainly could not tolerate his daughter's body being occupied by a soul from another world, even if Hu Xin'er was the reincarnation of the original owner.
So they absolutely could not tell the truth to the emperor.
But if he doesn't say it, from the emperor's perspective, his own daughter who had been lost for many years was abducted by the Lu family!
The emperor liked Liu Se very much, and the extent to which he loved Hu Xin'er was evident from the fact that he gave her a blank imperial edict without hesitation as soon as they met.
If it were the Taoist priest who was full of fatherly love and wanted to compensate his daughter, he would hear the bad news that his daughter wanted to break off relations with him.
He might even be thinking about killing someone!
Jiang Yao snorted coldly, "That bastard emperor was irresponsible and promiscuous when he was young, falling in love with a vicious woman. As a result, his daughter was thrown into the suffering of the common people. Under such circumstances, isn't it only natural for Xin'er to sever ties with him? What right does he have to be angry?"
In fact, the original Hu Xiner had already decided to abandon everything in this world and start her own life again in another world.
This exchange was thorough, and no matter what choice either party made, they never let anyone down.
Mu Qing pondered and said, "Then we will act according to the situation. If the situation is not right, we will first delay His Majesty."
His compromise was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
The main house of the Liu Mansion was shrouded in a cloud of gloom.
"Is there really no news about the Crown Prince?" Liu Qingyi grabbed his mother's sleeve, his brows full of anxiety.
Liu Zhize looked at the old lady anxiously, "Mother, I'm afraid the prince has no chance of turning things around. What should we do? Did we bet on the wrong horse that day? There's been no news from the palace, and I'm so worried!"
The boss's wife said irritably, "What's the point of asking me? Don't I panic?"
At the birthday banquet that day, in order to show favor to the prince, the eldest wife deliberately spoke for the prince and gave false testimony to frame Mu Qing and others.
When the prince directly ordered the killing of the Liu family's guests, although they were extremely scared, they were also a little excited in their hearts.
If the Crown Prince rebelled, wouldn't they have been credited with following the Emperor? Seeing how loyal they were, the Crown Prince would have to make Liu Qingyi a concubine, right?
What no one expected was that the situation was reversed in just half a day, and His Majesty brought his men to directly suppress the prince's rebellion!
"It's all the fault of those evil people in the Second House." Liu Qing, realizing her position as Imperial Concubine was gone, couldn't help but burst into tears. "If they hadn't brought in the Duke, Your Majesty wouldn't have received the news, and the Crown Prince might have succeeded in his rebellion long ago."
"Be careful with your words!" The eldest old lady frowned. "Our Liu family has been a family of meritorious service for generations. As long as the old master is here, His Majesty should not do anything to us. Otherwise, it would chill the hearts of loyal ministers!"
A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of Liu Zhi and her daughter at the same time, but after a while, the light was completely extinguished.
Liu Qingyi said dejectedly, "But the old man is dying soon. After he dies, Liu Yanchuo will definitely inherit the title. Then our Liu family will become the second branch of the family, and we won't have a good life!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became extremely solemn. After a long time, the old lady sighed and said, "Let's go see the old man."
They have never hoped so much for Old Master Liu to be healthy and safe as they do today.
On the bed, Old Master Liu's face was as pale as gold paper. He lay quietly, and on the bedside table next to him was a half-finished bowl of ginseng soup.
After Erdong examined him, he smiled and said, "He was well taken care of during the five days he was unconscious. He's still strong and has good Qi circulation. So, after I give him this pill, he should wake up."
"Will the quick-acting heart-saving pills work?" Hu Xiner asked doubtfully.
"It's absolutely useless in modern times." Erdong said as he took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, "But in the world of martial arts, this thing is a miracle drug."
"Come to think of it, why were you able to bring things with you when you traveled through time, but I didn't bring anything?" Hu Xin'er asked in surprise, "You're not wearing anything."
Erdong chuckled: "Maybe it's because I usually do good deeds and accumulate virtue, so I have a good character."
He was very excited at the thought of regaining his freedom.
Seeing Old Master Liu taking the pill, everyone waited nervously and expectantly for the medicine to take effect.
At this moment, the door was pushed open. The old lady looked at the servant who was knocked unconscious at the door, her eyes wide with disbelief: "Someone come! There's an assassin!"
Mu Qing knew that it was these few people who caused Hu Xiner to suffer a lot in the Liu family.
When he heard the noise, he immediately flew out and pressed the acupoints of the mother and daughter.
The boss's wife was frozen in place, her face filled with horror: "Are you Lu Yunjue? What are you going to do?!"
She practically screamed the question.
Mu Qing shouted in a low voice, "Don't move. Have the servants step back, or you'll be ready to be silenced."
Just as the eldest lady was about to speak, Liu Zhi hurriedly advised, "Mother, no! If the servants retreat, they will surely become even more unscrupulous. What will happen to our safety then?"
The old lady was a little shaken for a moment, but when she met Mu Qing's murderous gaze, all she felt was fear.
She didn't dare to get angry at Mu Qing, so she could only force out a nearly flattering smile, then turned around and scolded Liu Zhi: "If the servants don't leave, I'm going to die right now."
"How could that be?" Liu Zhi wanted to say something else, but saw the old lady directly dismiss the servants.
Mu Qing threw the three of them to the bed one by one.
Liu Qingyi fell on his butt and felt so painful that he wanted to cry.
