"You monster, you're really arrogant!"
The Black and White Impermanence rushed over defiantly, but were shocked by the black aura emanating from Xie Yan's eyes. Their bodies trembled, and they subconsciously threw out their soul-hooking ropes.
Xie Yan pinched it, and with a forceful squeeze of his five fingers, it shattered into ashes.
Black Impermanence's eyes widened. "How is this possible?"
Who exactly are you?
How could an ordinary monster possess such terrifying power? Especially since he's just a child!
Xie Yan stared at them without saying a word.
Not long after, Yu Chen arrived with Sisi.
The little guy was thrown on the ground and got a mouthful of mud.
"Fourth Brother is so annoying!"
The Black and White Impermanence exchanged a glance and quickly ran away.
Sisi's little eyebrows furrowed, and she struggled to her feet, only to suddenly see Erguoguo covered in blood.
"Erguo, what's wrong with Erguo?"
The little guy's big eyes instantly filled with tears as he looked helplessly at Xie Yan, "Fifth Brother, what's wrong with Second Brother? Why isn't he moving?"
"He's dead."
Xie Yan closed her eyes briefly. "Sisi, can you save him? Please save him."
His tone was extremely low, and it wasn't hard to hear a hint of pleading in his voice.
Sisi immediately took out the Spirit Spring Jade Dew from her spatial storage and poured it into the mouth of the second pot of boiling water, tears streaming down her face as she poured.
"Waaah, Second Brother, come back to life."
The little guy couldn't understand how this could happen. Wasn't Erguoguo working well at the City Lord's Mansion all along?
How could he have suddenly died?
Xie Yan glanced at Yu Chen, "Second Brother can't go back. If Mother finds out about this, she won't be able to bear it."
"Then let's keep him at the City Lord's Mansion." Yu Chen was somewhat doubtful. "Can she really save Second Brother?"
"Perhaps."
Zhou Erqian's soul remained obediently within his body. After Sisi poured the spiritual spring dew down his throat, he regained a faint breath, and the wounds on his body began to heal visibly.
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, look! Second Brother's wound has healed! He's all better! He's all better!"
Sisi wiped her nose happily, and Xie Yan, feeling sorry for her, took a handkerchief and wiped it for her.
"Look, the Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) is steaming."
"Thank you, Sisi." Xie Yan patted her head. "You're the best."
Sisi threw herself into his arms and cried loudly, "I thought Erguoguo wasn't coming back, it scared Sisi to death."
"Don't you dislike him because he has such a foul mouth?"
Sisi glared at Yu Chen, "He's Sisi's second brother, he's Sisi's family, Sisi doesn't dislike him."
"What about me?" Yu Chen seemed to be teasing her on purpose, but his eyes clearly held expectation.
Sisi thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't dislike them. Sisi's family are all good people."
A good person?
Yu Shen scoffed.
After arranging Zhou Erqian in a room, Xie Yan woke up Sun Changjing and Zhao Tianfu, and they went to deal with the corpses of the Imperial Guards.
Zhao An witnessed Wang Xian's death on the street, and when she returned, she saw the blood flowing like a river in Yuxi Pavilion. She was so frightened that she hid in the house for a long time before she could react.
"Mother, are we doomed?"
The Empress was deathly pale, her body trembling as she held her. "No, your father is still here."
Zhao An cried, "Wang Xian is dead, Xiao Shunzi is dead, all the servants are dead, only a few of us are left, how are we supposed to survive!"
At this moment, the Empress's attendant, Granny Kong, arrived. "Your Majesty, news has arrived from the capital: the city gates have been opened, the Regent has won the battle, Rousseau's army has been completely annihilated, and the Regent has declared himself Emperor!"
The Empress shuddered and grabbed Kong Mama's hand again. "Send a message immediately, saying that Wuzhou City Lord Sun Changjing intends to rebel, and Sui Jin should come to our rescue as soon as possible."
"Will Uncle Qi come?" Zhao An asked.
The Empress said in a daze, "He will definitely come. The Emperor is his own brother, and I am his own sister-in-law. He will definitely come to save us. Zhao'an, don't be afraid."
Instead of the regent, they encountered Sun Changjing.
What do you want to do?
"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Regent has declared himself Emperor. I have already sent word to him. I urge Your Majesty and the Princess to stay obediently in the South Courtyard and not to have any other thoughts. We will decide everything after the Regent arrives."
These words clearly indicate that they are to be placed under house arrest!
The Empress took out the Imperial Seal and held it high above her head, her eyes bloodshot. "I possess the Imperial Seal. Why don't you all kneel down as I command?"
Sun Changjing remained motionless. "Your Majesty, the message has been delivered. I shall take my leave now."
"Even if you tell the Regent, it will be useless. The Regent is my seventh brother. He will definitely side with the Emperor and me. When he comes, your death is imminent!"
The Empress screamed herself hoarse, but Sun Changjing coldly walked out of Yuxi Pavilion. "Guard this place to the death! Don't let a single person out!"
After he finished speaking, he looked up at the sky.
The sun in Wuzhou is still scorching.
Wuzhou won this battle.
If the regent truly sided with the incompetent emperor, he wouldn't mind exchanging 10,000 Wuzhou residents for a wise and enlightened ruler.
Yuxi Pavilion was surrounded by an iron cage, and the emperor's condition worsened. He was so thin that he was almost skin and bones, and he was spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
"Your Majesty, please stop vomiting."
The Empress cried, her eyes brimming with tears. "Please get well soon! Please think of something for us! All the Imperial Guards are dead! What are we going to do?"
There are also three princes and four princesses on this trip. Now, Yuxi Pavilion doesn't even have a single maid to serve them. If they don't come up with a good idea soon, they will starve to death sooner or later!
Zhao'an also cried, "Mother, can't you find a doctor for Father? Your son doesn't want Father to die."
"The Empress Dowager wants to as well!"
The two wept together, and at night, a faint thumping sound suddenly came from outside the Jade Creek Pavilion.
The Empress fainted from crying, and Zhao'an had no choice but to bravely go and check. In a secluded corner, a large hole had been made in the wall, and a man's face was visible.
"Who...who are you?"
Yu Qing waved the steamed bun in her hand. "Princess, would you like to eat some steamed buns? They smell delicious."
Zhao An's stomach rumbled, and she nodded.
"How about we make a trade? You trade me your jewelry."
Yu Qing's eyes were filled with greed. The princess's jewelry must be very valuable. He could pawn it and make a fortune!
Zhao An was reluctant, but under Yu Qing's temptation, she changed her mind and started eating the steamed bun in big bites.
"Big brother, do you know where there is a doctor?"
After finishing the steamed bun, Zhao An thought of her father, who was suffering from illness. "Big brother, find a doctor. If he can cure Father, I'll give you all my jewelry and even have him appoint you as a general, okay?"
Nowadays, everyone knows that the Embroidered Uniform Guard is all dead, and even if that person were to live, he wouldn't be able to win the hearts of the people and become emperor again.
However, Yu Qing really coveted those pieces of jewelry.
He whispered a few words to Zhao'an, whose eyes lit up. Not long after he left, Zhao'an quietly slipped out of the hole.
