Chapter 208 She was anxious!
"It seems that you have me in your hands. But you are right. Now that you have a hostage, I should keep my promise as your brother."
"Ayali is in your hands. Don't worry, I will not be deceived in the future."
"Me? Hostage?" Ayali finally reacted and pointed at her nose with a confused look on her face.
Everyone present laughed out loud, with Walida laughing especially loudly.
Ayali saw everyone laughing, so she laughed too, and everyone laughed even louder.
When I returned to the room after dinner, it was snowing outside again.
Just as Yu Banxia had expected, Sogar didn't dare to take Yetuo and escape from Yuncheng in such weather conditions.
He took Yetuo and hid in a mansion and found a doctor to treat him.
We plan to wait for a few days to recover before setting off again, so that we can avoid Walida's pursuit.
He also leaned against the bed and kept losing his temper, and Sogar could only endure it.
"Get out, useless thing. If I had known you wouldn't take me away, I would have cut off Walida's head myself."
Sogar looked at Yetuo's incompetence and fury, and almost blurted out, "Then I will send you back to chop off Walida's head."
In the end, he swallowed it and obediently left the room.
When Yetuo saw that he really left, he was so angry that he threw everything on hand to the ground.
"Useless trash, I will punish you when I return to the imperial city!" Hearing Yesuo's angry curse from behind, Sogar raised his foot and walked out of the yard.
Whoever wants to serve can serve me!
If I hadn't risked my life to rescue him, he would have been treated like an animal.
The next morning, Sogar received the news that Walida and his party had left Yuncheng at dawn and continued on their journey.
Fortunately, the heavy snow last night only lasted for more than an hour and then stopped.
"Sir, we never know when it will start to rain again. Should we prepare to set off and take another route?"
Sogar's men asked, and he thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer and set off tomorrow morning. After all, the Fifth Prince is still injured. If something unexpected happens on the way, you know what the Queen Mother will do."
The subordinate nodded and quickly retreated.
…
There was a pier on the eastern outskirts of Yuncheng. Walida immediately revealed his identity, rented a large ship, and headed straight for the imperial city.
Despite the snowstorm, the river was not completely frozen.
With Yu Banxia's secret help, the journey will be smooth. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to reach the imperial city in three days.
Inside the Beirong Palace.
A Lingzhu paced back and forth in the bedroom anxiously. She glared at the servants angrily, "Is there any news about the emperor's son?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, there is no news yet. Don't worry, Commander Sogar will be able to bring the fifth prince back safely." The personal maid knelt down quickly in response.
A Lingzhu was silent for a moment, then ordered: "Follow me to visit His Majesty, and call the witch doctor. We can't wait any longer."
The maid was startled: "Grand Concubine, please don't panic. If you bring the witch doctor to visit His Majesty, Concubine De and the others will definitely get the news."
"So what if I'm Concubine De? Now that there's no queen, I'm the one who leads the harem."
"But Concubine De is the mother of Prince Nanyuan after all, and Prince Nanyuan he..." The maid was interrupted before she could finish her words.
A Lingzhu glared at her: "Gu Zanli!"
The maid trembled and knelt down in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, I'm here." Gu Zanli responded respectfully.
"She is indeed the mother of the King of the Southern Courtyard, but the King of the Southern Courtyard can't even walk without breathing heavily. Do you think he is capable of taking on such a great responsibility?"
"Not to mention that there is a Valida who has made great military achievements and is eyeing you covetously. Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, I have to plan everything for the prince so that when he returns, he can take the position directly."
Gu Zanli wanted to say something, but when she saw A Lingzhu's expression, she swallowed her words.
"Yes, I will call the witch doctor right away."
A Lingzhu nodded with satisfaction: "I know that your daughter Abidan likes the emperor. As long as the emperor can sit in that position, I will allow Abidan to be one of his concubines."
Gu Zanli was overjoyed when she received the promise. Even for her daughter, she was determined to give it a try.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your gift." Gu Zanli thanked her excitedly and then stepped out.
The corners of A Lingzhu's mouth curled up, and her eyes were full of sarcasm.
Not long after Gu Zanli left, she came back with an old man who was dressed in shabby and strange clothes.
"Greetings, Queen Consort." The witch doctor bowed to A Lingzhu.
A Lingzhu nodded and waved her hand: "No need to be polite, witch doctor, are you sure?"
"Replying to the Queen, this poison has not yet fully matured. If we rely solely on the poison, I'm afraid there is only a 50% chance. But His Majesty is in love with you. If you feed it to His Majesty personally, the chance will increase by another 30%."
"Eighty percent?" A Lingzhu hesitated. She wanted 100%, but time was tight, so that was understandable.
The witch doctor nodded and looked at her, waiting for her answer.
"Has it caused any harm to me?" A Lingzhu glanced at him with a sharp look.
The witch doctor quickly responded that he would not hurt her. A Lingzhu did not believe it completely, but nodded anyway.
"Follow me!" A Lingzhu brought the witch doctor towards the bedroom of the Beirong Emperor.
As soon as I reached the door of the bedroom, a female voice came from behind me: "Queen, wait!"
A Lingzhu frowned and turned to look at the hurried De Fei: "Sister De Fei, why did you come to His Majesty's bedroom instead of just staying in the palace?"
"Look at what the Queen Mother said. It's just a coincidence that I bumped into you. The Queen Mother was eight months pregnant and she ran out. How can I hide from you when I'm not pregnant?"
"It's a rare day with the sun out today. I haven't seen your Majesty for a long time, so I came here to see him. I didn't expect to bump into my sister."
"But, sister, why did you bring a witch doctor with you?"
Facing the inquiring eyes of Concubine De, A Lingzhu felt extremely disgusted: "Your Majesty is not getting better. Those imperial doctors are completely useless. That's why I thought of trying the witch doctor's method. Maybe Your Majesty will get better."
"But, Sister Dowager, this is not in accordance with etiquette. After all, witch doctors have too many unknown methods." Defei stared into A Lingzhu's eyes and said with a smile.
A Lingzhu was annoyed in her heart but remained calm on the surface.
"That's true, but there's nothing we can do about it. Besides, this witch doctor is only for the royal family, so we can't let him harm your majesty."
Concubine De looked at the witch doctor carefully and found that he was indeed a witch doctor specially hired by the royal family.
"It turned out to be Mr. Xiao. Although Mr. Xiao did save His Majesty with his witch doctor's skills before, it only lasted for three months before His Majesty became seriously ill again. Can Mr. Xiao really make His Majesty better this time?"
"But after Mr. Xiao saved His Majesty last time, my sister was lucky enough to get pregnant with this child."
Hearing Defei's suggestive words, A Lingzhu's face changed.
