I thought I could escape this time, so I just walked out of the passage obediently, and I could come back after everything was dealt with.
After all, they had already brought all the money they had with them this time, probably wanting to seize this opportunity to go out.
Even if something happened in the palace, even if they didn't come back, they could use the money to work outside the palace, and at least they could ensure that they would live a very carefree life in the second half of their lives.
All of this seemed to be going in a good direction, but who could have imagined that they were discovered by the assassins halfway through, and were captured and brought back directly.
Now, not only did they fail to escape, they were also caught back by others and even needed Xiao Yunchen to save them.
Although the Queen Mother felt a little embarrassed, she still hoped that Xiao Yun could save them.
Xiao Yun looked at the assassins. After they tied up the Queen Mother, he stretched out his hand and gestured at her neck. Then he said, "Either release our prince, or we will kill this old lady directly."
Xiao Yun sneered and said to them, "Why do you think I would bother to save an old lady like this? Or do you think I hope she can live well?"
In the past few days in the palace, Xi Wan had actually known for a long time that Xiao Yun had no feelings for the empress dowager, and that it was the late emperor's idea, not Xiao Yun's, to let her take the position of empress dowager.
If they arrested someone else, Xiao Yun might feel a little troubled because these assassins arrested this person.
But now they have captured the Queen Mother, and Xiao Yungen doesn't care about the Queen Mother at all.
However, after thinking about it, Xi Wan realized that Xiao Yun actually not only didn't care about the Queen Mother.
There is not a single person among those people in the harem that he cares about.
The only person he cared about was Qiao Yuange, but now Qiao Yuange was protected by him so tightly that it was impossible for anyone to touch Qiao Yuange.
In other words, their plan to capture someone to threaten Xiao Yunyu seemed to have been a mistake from the very beginning.
They are now in an awkward situation, not knowing whether they should kill the old lady or let her go.
However, after a brief thought, they immediately pulled the old lady back over.
This time, even if there is a fly in your hand, you can't throw it away.
They decided to keep the old lady, even if it meant just to serve as a human shield.
Seeing this, Na Wan felt that he, the assassin, had been working very hard and hoped that the situation could be changed.
.
If I don't work hard to change this situation, it seems that I would be too sorry for my subordinates.
So he said to Xiao Yun: "Are you going to watch this old lady lose her life because of this war? After all, she is your own woman. Even if she is not your biological mother, she should not have to end up like this."
"And anyway, this time it's not just the old lady, there's also the Grand Princess! As far as I know, the Grand Princess is the only princess in your country. Don't you want to protect this only princess?"
Xiao Yun turned his head and glanced at Xiao Taiyi.
Mrs. Xiao This time she stood there looking at her brother with anticipation.
If people say they are not afraid when facing death, it is completely false. She can even feel her heart as if it is about to jump out of her chest. She can feel her legs shaking and she just wants to run.
But she had no way to run away, because the people around her were staring at her!
She wanted to faint and not have to face these problems anymore, but at the same time she didn't want to hold her older brother back.
Just like what Xi Wan said, she was the only princess in their country, she should have a lot of halo and pride, but in the end she had nothing.
She was left with only an empty shell, and became a stumbling block to her brother. No matter what happened to her brother, she was the one who blocked it.
If she had not gone to our country and become a handle for others, her two brothers would have gone to the battlefield for her.
Now that she thought about it again, she realized how embarrassed she was.
She really wanted to die as an atonement, but when death was very close to her, she didn't even have the courage to reach out and pull him over.
What was she living for? At this moment, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She said to Xiao Yun, "Brother, don't worry about me! It doesn't matter whether I live or die. Anyway, I have lived through everything in this life. There is no need to live any longer! Don't worry about me! Just do what you want to do and protect our country well."
Xiao Yun didn't take it seriously at first, but after hearing what Mrs. Xiao said, Xiao Yun's heart was slightly moved.
Because he thought that although Xiao Taiyi was a silly girl, she had never done anything excessive, never bullied others, and never went along with her mother.
Although she was not very ambitious, her crime did not deserve the death penalty.
He said to Xiao Taiyi angrily: "That's enough. You still think that what you have done now is not enough for me to kill you, right? Then you are a princess, what is the purpose of sitting in this position of princess?"
Although Xiao Yun spoke harshly to Xiao Taiye, he did not stop using the weapon in his hand. He was even very calm. Facing the assassins around him, he continued to rush forward and said to Xiao Taiye, "If you really want to die, why not show your true heart and die right now."
Sure enough, after hearing what her royal brother said about Xiao Taiye, she felt extremely disheartened and immediately knelt on the ground.
The assassins saw that the hostages they had captured were of no use here, and they all considered whether to kill the Queen Mother.
They held the Queen Mother's neck with their hands and kept moving forward.
The guards on both sides made way for them, allowing them to watch as the Queen Mother, Xiao Taiyi and others were brought to Xiao Yunyi.
When the Queen Mother saw that Xiao Yun didn't even want to care about Xiao Taiyi anymore, her heart darkened immediately, and then she said loudly to Xiao Yun: "How dare you, little bastard, treat me like this! I worked so hard to help you deal with state affairs, but in the end you treated me like this, how can you face the late emperor?"
