Chapter 971 Lingyun Temple
Tang Ning couldn't help but hunch over from coughing, curling up uncomfortably. The waxy yellow color of his face couldn't hide the paleness of his lips, and his forehead was covered with fine, cold sweat.
"Empress!"
Yue Jian quickly supported Tang Ning and helped her calm down: "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Ning coughed uncomfortably: "Let...let him go! Cough cough cough..."
Her voice was hoarse, and the violent coughing made her body tremble slightly. She leaned on Yuejian and grabbed her arm tightly.
Yue Jian held the man against her chest, raised her head and said angrily, "Didn't you hear? My queen told you to get out!"
After she finished speaking, she saw that Lu Zhinian's face was ugly, and she said angrily:
"Lu Zhinian, I don't care what you want to do, but if anything happens to the Queen because of you, I will take you to death with me even if I have to sacrifice my own life!!"
Lu Zhinian panicked when he heard this: "How could this happen? The poison in An Ning's body has clearly been partially resolved."
Yue Jian listened to his words and looked like she wanted to fight him to the death: "What's the use of removing some of the poison? The poison has already entered her lungs after being stimulated several times. What's more, the empress suffered a lot of bleeding during childbirth. Even if she rests well, she may not recover in two or three months. Not to mention that you have tortured her so many times now. You are trying to kill her!"
"Moon view..."
Tang Ning grabbed Yue Jian's hand, trying to suppress the cough in his throat, but the violent cough started again as soon as he opened his mouth.
Yue Jian angrily said: "Get out of here!!"
She grabbed the things on the table and threw them at Lu Zhinian. Lu Zhinian was pulled aside by the people behind him. The things shattered to the ground, and the curtain of the carriage fell, covering the master and servant inside.
Outside the carriage, Lu Zhinian's face was extremely ugly: "How could this happen? Zhuo Shuisheng clearly said that the poison would not hurt anyone at all..."
"Master, what Zhuo Shuisheng said may only apply to ordinary people, but Queen Wei..."
The person next to him didn't finish his words when Lu Zhinian suddenly looked at him, and he quickly changed his words: "It's Madam Song. Madam Song is pregnant and about to give birth."
"Giving birth is inherently harmful to women. A little carelessness could result in two deaths. Furthermore, Madam Qin mentioned before that Madam Song had a difficult pregnancy. She took great pains to recover, but the birth damaged her vitality that day, and then there was the poison..."
He paused and said cautiously:
"The news from the capital said that Madam Song's delivery that day was indeed very dangerous. The Yongzhao Palace was sealed off from the outside and martial law was enforced. Later, it was heard that it was because the Empress had a difficult labor and almost died several times."
Lu Zhinian clenched his fists tightly, listening to the coughs coming from the carriage that he tried hard to suppress. He felt a pain in his heart. He never wanted to hurt Tang Ning. Zhuo Shuisheng also told him that although this poison is powerful, it will only make people weak for a while as long as it is detoxified in time, and they will be able to recover after taking good care of themselves.
He didn't want to use this method to deal with Tang Ning, so when he was in Beiling, he tried his best to climb up and seize the imperial power, wanting to get her back to him in a fair and just way, but he failed and fled back to Wei in a panic. Now, if he didn't use this method, he would never be able to see Tang Ning, let alone keep her by his side.
Before he got the poison, he confirmed with Zhuo Shuisheng again and again that nothing would happen, but he forgot that Tang Ning was pregnant and about to give birth, and the poison could actually harm her to this extent.
Listening to the suppressed voices in the inner room, Lu Zhinian clenched his fists and asked, "Has Madam Qin been delivered?"
"It has been delivered and everything has been settled there."
The man whispered, "Song Mo and his men are leading the pursuers north, and another dozen or so teams are leading the remaining troops elsewhere. Furthermore, word from the capital says that Wu Kui is leading most of the Black Armor Guards straight to Pingchong Mansion. Apparently, they're searching for the Wei Emperor."
"Our people followed their master's instructions and secretly spread the news of Xiao Yan's attack. The people from Southern Qi will definitely be unable to restrain themselves and intervene. The people from Great Wei will soon have no time to care about us."
For those in the Wei Dynasty, no matter what Queen Wei had done before, Emperor Xiao Yan was far more important than Queen Tang Ning. Moreover, they did not spread the news of the Queen's abduction, and Cao Dejiang and others in the capital also deliberately concealed it and did not dare to speak out.
Under such circumstances, they naturally could not send troops to search in a large-scale manner.
The information they received was that the people of Wei had indeed found an excuse to let people leave the city. Now that Wu Kui had taken away most of the Black Armored Guards, the pressure on their side would be much less. In addition, with the pursuers led away by Song Mo and the others, they were actually the safest side now.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhinian said, "Okay, clean up this place and don't leave any traces. Next, speed up and go straight over there."
He wouldn't let anything happen to Tang Ning.
…
Lu Zhinian did not get on the carriage again, but followed on horseback with a pale face. Although Tang Ning did not look outside, he could clearly feel that they were moving much faster while sitting in the carriage.
Yue Jian kept an eye on the direction of travel while helping Tang Ning fix her "sickly" look.
As it got darker, more lime trees appeared around. Yue Jian looked at the increasingly familiar forest shadows, and her heart began to lift a little. After a long time, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The faint sandalwood fragrance that lingered in her nose before she even entered, and the sound of the temple bells, made her look relieved.
It turned out to be Lingyun Temple!
They had searched everywhere and every corner before, but no one expected that they would hide Madam Qin here, and now even the Queen was brought here.
This Lu Zhinian is indeed a madman.
He is so courageous!!
