You Rong sighed. When she went to look for her daughter, Madam Wang was heartbroken, but when the Wang family brought their daughter over, she cried but did not stop them.
The Wang family is also a family that knows how to repay kindness and is clear about right and wrong.
In their hearts, they also cherished Sisi's kindness.
She only hoped that if she could win this battle, she could also protect the Wang family's daughter.
"It's already like this."
“How about…” Xie Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment, “How about I be that girl, I’ll take Sisi’s place.”
The three were immediately shocked. "You? How could you? You're clearly a boy."
“I can dress up as a girl. Besides, I’m a bit older than the Wang family’s daughter. In the chaos, I can run away on my own, while she can only be scared and cry.”
Boys are indeed bolder than girls.
only…
Both children are her flesh and blood, and Qin Shi was reluctant to part with them, but now she was protecting the Zhou family's children, and she couldn't sacrifice someone else's child.
She choked up as she asked, "Fifth brother, can you really do this?"
“I can do it.” Xie Yan nodded. “Don’t waste any more time, Uncle Sun. Go find me a girl’s dress now, and then we’ll go back to the city lord’s mansion.”
Sun Changjing remained silent for a long time before nodding.
Although the South Courtyard cannot compare to the Imperial Palace, it is the largest residence within the entire City Lord's Mansion. The Imperial Guards keep a very tight watch on the courtyard, and even a servant of the City Lord's Mansion would be reprimanded if he glanced at it.
Inside the Yuxi Pavilion, Sui Wenchang was reclining on a low couch being massaged by Xiao Shunzi, while the Empress fanned him from the side.
"I heard that the goddess is a child. Does she possess some kind of magic that allows her to summon thunder and rain?"
The Empress smiled and said, "Perhaps."
"Very well, then I will appoint her as Grand General and let her join Wang Xian in attacking the Northern Di and reclaiming the dignity of Qingyuan." Sui Wenchang was very excited.
"Your Majesty, Wang Xian is merely a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and has never been to the battlefield. I'm afraid..."
"So what if you can kill people?"
Sui Wenchang was getting impatient. "Why hasn't Sun Changjing arrived yet? Does he have a death wish?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a maid rushed in, “Your Majesty, Lord Sun requests an audience.”
"Let him in."
Sun Changjing led Xie Yan inside. After the two finished their kneeling ceremony, Sui Wenchang kept staring at Xie Yan.
He wore a pink dress and his hair was tied in two buns. He was originally cute and delicate, but he had a cold and aloof face.
Sui Wenchang found it all very incongruous.
"This is the goddess?"
Sun Changjing replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"What's your name?"
"Sisi".
Having heard the name, Sui Wenchang nodded and, supported by Xiao Shunzi, went to Xie Yan.
"I've heard you can summon thunder and rain? Show me how, and I'll reward you with a hundred taels of silver."
Sun Changjing was tense, holding his breath. The soldiers in the city were ready to go, and they would rush in as soon as he shouted.
"Your Majesty, the weather is cloudless today, so it cannot rain." Xie Yan lowered his eyes, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Can't it rain?" Sui Wenchang sneered. "You're playing me? Sisi, aren't you afraid I'll kill your whole family?"
"Even if Your Majesty kills my entire family, it will still not rain today. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Very well, guards, guards, kill her for me!" Sui Wenchang was furious. "I can tell you're a fake. You don't know any magic, and you're not a goddess. You dared to deceive me, and this is what will happen to you!"
Seeing the situation was bad, Sun Changjing was about to shout when Xie Yan suddenly grabbed his hand and said to Sui Wenchang in a calm tone, "Your Majesty, it cannot rain today."
No one saw that Xie Yan's eyes were incredibly dark, and clusters of black energy flew out of his body and entered Sui Wenchang's eyes.
Sui Wenchang suddenly became dazed and muttered, "Then forget it, it's fine if it doesn't rain. You can leave now, I need to rest, I need to rest."
After saying that, he walked blankly to the couch and lay down.
The Empress looked on in bewilderment. Just a moment ago she was shouting about killing people, how did she suddenly change her mind?
Sun Changjing immediately realized what was going on, "Your Majesty, since His Majesty is tired, we will not disturb you any longer."
"Yes, you may leave." She needed to ask the Emperor what was going on, why his words had suddenly changed.
Upon leaving Yuxi Pavilion, Sun Changjing was already covered in sweat. "Luckily, the Emperor suddenly changed his mind; it scared me to death."
"By the way, why did he suddenly change his mind?"
Xie Yan shook his head. "I don't know either."
"That's really strange, but whatever, as long as he doesn't yell about killing Sisi, that's fine. Seriously, he scared me half to death."
Sun Changjing muttered to himself as he walked forward, completely unaware of Xie Yan's upturned lips.
His initial test results were quite good; it's estimated that Emperor Qingyuan will fall into a coma for no apparent reason before tomorrow night.
No one can hurt Sisi.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
The Empress called out softly twice, and Sui Wenchang's eyes cleared. He asked in a daze, "How did I end up sleeping here?"
The Empress was stunned. "Didn't you say you wanted to sleep? What happened to you just now? You were clearly shouting that you wanted to kill the goddess, so why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"That goddess must have used some kind of sorcery!"
Sui Wenchang was furious. "Go and kill them... *splat*!"
"Your Majesty!" The Empress cried out in alarm as he coughed up blood, frantically calling for help, "Someone! Call the imperial physician! Someone! Someone!"
Sui Wenchang held her tightly, uttering each word distinctly, "Kill her for me, kill the god..."
"Your Majesty, I understand. Kill the goddess. I will have someone do it. Please, Your Majesty, do not speak."
With this promise, Sui Wenchang fainted with relief. Xiao Shunzi ran out and came back in, kneeling on the ground trembling.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician was executed on the way. There are no more imperial physicians left!"
The Empress felt dizzy for a moment before remembering that the Emperor had eaten some coarse food on the way and was suffering from indigestion. The prescription given by the imperial physician was so bitter that the Emperor couldn't help but vomit. In a fit of anger, he had the imperial physician executed.
"Go into the city to search for Sun Changjing, hurry!" Then, remembering something, the Empress's eyes turned cold. "Also, have Wang Xian take men to that little girl's house and leave no one alive."
"Yes." Xiao Shunzi hurriedly ran out.
Not long after, Zhao'an stormed in angrily, "Mother, Mother, someone has bullied Zhao'an! You must avenge Zhao'an!"
The Empress had no interest in dealing with her; her constant chatter was simply annoying. So she had Granny Kong take her away.
Zhao An was not about to give up, so she turned around and ran towards Wang Xian. Brother Wang Xian had always been good to her, and he would definitely bring people to kill them!
News of His Majesty's serious illness and coma spread throughout the city. The first doctor summoned was unable to diagnose the illness and was beheaded by the Empress. As a result, no one in the city dared to claim to be a doctor anymore, and secretly they all hoped that this incompetent emperor would die soon.
Sun Changjing blocked Wang Xian's way at the gate of the mansion, "May I ask where this brother is headed with so many men, looking so menacing?"
Wang Xian said with a blank face, "I saw you send that girl away in a carriage. By imperial decree, the young girl Sisi is deceiving the emperor and is actually a demon."
"By using sorcery to wreak havoc on the world, they provoked the Xiongnu to attack, causing countless deaths and injuries among the people, and turning Qingyuan into a river of blood. Their crimes are unforgivable, and their entire families should be executed!"
