To avoid worrying Qin, Xie Yan and Si Si returned to the Zhou family, while Zhou Erqian stayed by his side.
In the middle of the night, the person in bed groggily opened his eyes and saw a shadow slowly walk past the window, then creak open the door.
Is this the underworld?
Zhou Erqian asked in a daze. The shadow was startled, as if frightened, and tried to walk away quickly. Suddenly, the candle on the table lit up.
Xie Yan pressed down on the door, "Who are you?"
Zhao An was so frightened that she fell to the ground. "This...this princess came to find Si Si. This princess is not...a bad person."
Since the Jinyiwei were all wiped out, Zhao An's arrogance was immediately suppressed, and she is now filled with fear.
"Fifth brother?" Zhou Erqian jumped up, waking up Sisi who was sleeping soundly beside the bed.
"You brats? How did you end up in the underworld with me? Did my poison fail to kill them?"
Xie Yan glanced at him casually, "You're not dead. Sisi is here, how could she possibly let you die?"
"I'm not dead?" Zhou Erqian was stunned.
Sisi rubbed her sleepy eyes and said with disdain, "Second Brother, you're so noisy."
"What do you want with Sisi?" Xie Yan's gaze returned to Zhao An.
"Uncle Sun sent many people to guard Yuxi Pavilion. You sneaked out, didn't you? Aren't you afraid of dying?"
How could Zhao An not be afraid?
She sat on the ground and cried, “An older brother said that Sisi is very powerful and can cure Father’s illness. I don’t want Father to die.”
"I will not save your father," Sisi snorted at her. "Your father is not worthy of being emperor!"
"You're Sisi?"
Zhao An's face turned pale. She was the little dumpling she had argued with, and she had even said she would take Wang Xian to teach her a lesson.
Now that Wang Xian is dead and the Emperor is seriously ill, if she had known how capable she was, she should have become good friends with her.
It's too late to regret it now.
Zhao An sobbed, "Can you please stop being angry with me? I'll give you lots and lots of silver, please save my father, okay?"
Sisi shook her head. "Saving your father would only harm the people, and he wants to kill me, so I won't save him."
Wu Guoguo told her everything. If it weren't for her uncle, the people, and the other Guoguos protecting her, she would definitely have been killed by that wicked emperor!
snort!
She would never save a big bad guy!
Zhao An was in despair. The guards protecting Yuxi Pavilion also discovered the large hole and came looking for her. Despite her loud crying and fussing, she could not escape the fate of being captured and taken back.
Zhou Erqian jumped up and down twice, then excitedly hugged Sisi, squeezing the little one so much that her chubby face was all crooked.
"I'm alive! I'm really alive! It's so good to have a precious little sister like you. I've done my best to love you!"
"Hmm... Erguotou..."
"Second brother, you're hurting her," Xie Yan said helplessly.
Zhou Erqian let go of the little one, rubbed her face with his big hand, and chuckled, "Second brother didn't mean it, second brother was wrong, second brother apologizes to you."
Sisi pouted, "We can go home first thing tomorrow morning. I wonder how the peach tree root digging is going? Is Erguoguo going home to dig up the roots?"
"We must go back."
Having survived this near-death experience, he really missed his mother and grandmother, and he needed to go back and spend some quality time with them.
The next day, before the three of them had even gotten out of bed, Sun Changjing received news that the Regent had entered the city.
He hurriedly led his men to greet him. The regent rode a magnificent horse, dressed in black, with a solemn and dignified gaze, exuding an aura of killing intent.
Sun Changjing was somewhat terrified. If the regent really sided with the emperor, Wuzhou would have no chance of winning.
This was the regent who once held off 500,000 with 10,000, all earned through real battles!
He declared himself king, but didn't yet know the name of his kingdom. Sun Changjing, unsure of how to address him, stammered, "Your Majesty..."
"Hmm, where is Sui Wenchang?"
"Please come with me to my residence."
Sun Changjing led the people into the South Courtyard. When the Empress heard that the Regent had arrived, she pulled the princes and princesses to kneel in the courtyard, and they all knelt down and wept bitterly.
"Ah Jin, you must stand up for your sister-in-law! Sun Changjing has imprisoned the Emperor and even executed the Imperial Guards. He's plotting a rebellion! He definitely wants to kill the Emperor so he can sit on the throne himself..."
Before he could finish speaking, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open.
Upon seeing Sui Jin, the Empress suddenly choked up. He had actually stood up. It seemed that he must have been faking his paralysis in the past.
It's all good. She has never mistreated him, and he will surely remember their past relationship. Besides, he cannot hand over the Sui family's empire to someone else.
Tears welled up in the Queen's eyes again. She secretly pinched several children, and they all burst into tears.
"Ah Jin, you're here! Look at the state your sister-in-law and brother have been in, tortured like this!"
Sui Jin ignored her and walked straight into the room, addressing the person on the bed, "Royal Brother."
Hearing his voice, Sui Wenchang forced himself to sit up and laughed almost maniacally, "Good, good, Ah Jin is here! Quickly go and kill that witch, kill Sun Changjing, and kill everyone in Wuzhou for me!"
Why?
"Can't you see how I was treated when I came here? Why do you still ask why?"
Sui Wenchang gasped for breath, "Ah Jin, your brother has always doted on you since you were little. You will grant your brother's request, won't you?"
Sun Changjing clenched his fists.
Love him?
If it weren't for Sui Wenchang's jealousy, he wouldn't have become a paralyzed person. For so many years, he ignored him and let his servants humiliate and insult him. If it weren't for the Golden Cavalry Guards, there would probably have been corpses everywhere long ago.
