Mentioning the tragic scene after the bloody battle, even Wei Li couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted.
"how so?"
Shangguan Qingxi was stunned for a moment. Thinking of the tragic scene in the palace before she lost consciousness, she felt sick all over.
Fifty thousand people, what a terrifying number, and this is just the number of people in the capital.
She couldn't imagine what would have happened if Wei Jie and the others had reacted a little slower that day, allowing those poisonous people to escape.
The current Siyou Kingdom, no, the Sifang Continent, has probably already become a hell on earth, right?
"Hong Xie is dead, what about Long Kun?"
Thinking of the creator of this disaster, Shangguan Qingxi's eyes were filled with gnashing hatred.
"Long Kun has escaped. Now not only are we in the Four Continents hunting him down, but even the Emperor of the Dragon Empire has sent a team of people to search for his whereabouts all day long."
"Don't worry, such a person who destroys people's hearts will definitely not have a good ending!"
"Where are his men? Although Hong Xie is dead, there might still be some among his men."
"Don't worry, everyone is on guard against this. All checkpoints in the four countries are under strict control, and everyone is keeping an eye on the movements of these BT poisoners at all times."
"Even the common people of various countries now hate him to the core. If he dares to show up, he will definitely be attacked by everyone."
"Then how did you cure my poison?"
Who is so capable as to be able to cure such a terrible corpse poison?
Does this also mean that even if Long Kun’s people take action again in the future, they will have a way to deal with it?
On the other side, Wei Li, who had been trying to make Qingxi ignore this point for a long time, was very depressed and returned to the starting point.
Just as Wei Li was struggling with how to cover up this lie, a soft cry for help was heard outside the door.
"Your Excellency, Princess Rong and the little princess are here."
Wei Li's heart suddenly relaxed, and he said to Qingxi: "You rest first, I'll ask them to prepare meals for you. You've been confined for a month, your body needs to be taken care of."
Qingxi nodded slightly, "Okay, go ahead."
The moment the door closed, the smile on Shangguan Qingxi's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by obvious heaviness.
"Someone come here!" Suddenly, two purple shadows appeared from the darkness and landed steadily in front of Shangguan Qingxi.
"Tell me everything that happened during this period."
Although Wei Li had told her everything, she was sensitive and felt that he was hiding something, so after Wei Li left, she immediately targeted her people.
But Shangguan Qingxi's physical condition really couldn't bear too much pressure, and the two secret guards were obviously hesitant.
"Just say whatever you want to say. I'm not as fragile as you think."
The two men thought of their previous master's temper, and reluctantly reported what happened after Shangguan Qingxi's accident.
"What did you say? The reason why Ling Yuan became what he is now is all because of me?"
The purple guards looked at her cautiously and nodded: "Princess Feng did die because she saved the Sect Master, and,"
"And, what?" Shangguan Qingxi's face was pale, and she covered her chest with her hands, her face full of pain.
Ling Yuan, actually died just to save her, how could this happen, how could this be?
"And I've discovered something else. The Lord seems to be more nervous about this Phoenix Princess than you, Sect Master."
As he spoke, he gave a detailed explanation of how Diao Yi and the people from the Never-Sleeping City had jointly besieged the Phoenix Palace.
"The Lord calls Princess Feng the Second Miss. Sect Master, do you think there is some hidden secret that we don't know about?"
The people around Shangguan Qingxi naturally spoke in her favor. Diao Yi's address to Ling Yuan that day had aroused the curiosity of many people.
What's more, there is also the unclear relationship between Diao Yi and Shangguan Qingxi, who are both teachers and friends, and Shangguan Qingxi and Wei Jie.
If we trace it back in this way, everyone will find it a little confusing.
Shangguan Qingxi was also visibly stunned when she heard the title "Second Miss".
Second Miss?
Is she the second lady of the Never-Sleeping City? Or the second lady of the Purple Phoenix Palace?
Wait, wait, something seems wrong.
Shangguan Qingxi raised her head suddenly, "You said that day, the lord brought people from the Never-Sleeping City to support Siyou Kingdom?"
"Master, that's right. All the troops of the Purple Phoenix Palace in Siyou Country have been handed over to you for deployment, and the Lord has indeed brought people from the Nevernight City to help."
The City That Never Sleeps and the Purple Phoenix Palace, is it possible that there is some connection between these two organizations that have nothing to do with each other that they don't know about?
Thinking of the rumors that Ling Yuan had saved the Never-Sleeping City and had a close relationship with Gongzi Yan, Shangguan Qingxi suddenly felt that perhaps things were not as simple as they seemed.
Gongzi Yan was in seclusion, and the person who came was none other than Diao Yi.
What does this indicate?
She closed her eyes tiredly and suddenly felt that her brain was not enough.
Especially now, it seems that she shouldn't focus on these unimportant things.
She tried her best to suppress the confusion in her mind and focused on another thing...
"Someone, someone, someone, someone, come quickly!"
Shangguan Qingxi waved her hand and ordered the man in purple to leave, and immediately called someone in to help her bathe and change clothes.
She wants to see Ling Yuan, she must go to see Ling Yuan.
Thinking of the little girl who sacrificed herself for her, Qingxi felt her heart aching.
She was already feeling so miserable, let alone Wei Jie, who was being criticized and even blamed himself to the point of despair because of her?
Even though she was unconscious at the time, Wei Jie's dilemma made her clearly feel his despair.
This child has already lived two lives and has lived enough. How could he sacrifice Yuan'er for her?
When Shangguan Qingxi thought of that kind child, her nose felt sore and tears started to fall uncontrollably.
…
Just when Shangguan Qingxi was blaming herself for Ling Yuan's death, Ning Shuyuan and Wei Tanya were persuading Wei Li in the front hall.
"You kid, why are you moving out? Go back with your mother. It's too unsafe outside."
Because of the shadow brought by the zombie poison, Ning Shuyuan is now afraid of everything.
Any slight disturbance would keep her awake all night.
Wei Tanya, who had always been playful, calmed down completely after experiencing the coup caused by corpse poison. She stayed with Ning Shuyuan every day, but this still could not make her feel at ease.
In this poisonous incident, Prince Rong's mansion lost a concubine's son, who was bitten to death while having fun outside. However, the mansion did not suffer any major losses because it was heavily guarded.
Ning Shuyuan, Wei Tanya and others in Ningsheng Palace were also safe and sound under the protection of Qingchen and others.
But they witnessed the tragic situation in the palace with their own eyes, especially the death of Ling Yuan's two maids, which still makes them tremble.
Even though nearly half a month has passed, they still haven't been able to completely let go of their worries.
For those of them who never leave the house, it was undoubtedly a terrible nightmare.
Thinking of Ling Yuan again, who was in her prime and possessed unparalleled medical skills, but could not resist the corpse poison and died, Ning Shuyuan's heart was deeply twisted.
But at this moment, Wei Li wanted to exclude the order. How could she feel at ease?
As the sister-in-law, Ning Shuyuan naturally knew about the entanglement between Wei Yi and Du Yunge.
Ning Shuyuan even knew that Shangguan Qingxi was Du Yunge.
However, she still didn't know Wei Li's past and present life, so it was naturally impossible for her to connect these two people together.
Shangguan Qingxi's identity has been exposed, but few people know Wei Li's identity.
"I may rarely go back in the future. I have already told the emperor that I will return the position of the crown prince to my elder brother at the appropriate time, to the Tiandu Kingdom."
"Are you going back? Don't you want your mother anymore?"
Ning Shuyuan didn't wait for him to finish, tears started falling down her face, and even Wei Tanya, who was standing beside her, looked at him with a sad face.
"Second brother, don't leave. Prince Rong's Mansion is your home. Prince Rong's Mansion is your home!"
Wei Li was no longer surprised by their extreme reactions. He held their hands, one on each side, and comforted them softly.
"Can you please listen to what I have to say? There are still some things to be dealt with in Tiandu Country. I will rush back in a few days. After that, I will have nothing to do with that place."
"I am still from the Rong Palace, but I am not the prince. I am just your second son, Tan Ya's second brother."
"You kid, do you want to scare me to death? I never understood you when you were little, and you are even more difficult to guess now that you have grown up."
"I didn't expect that you would quietly investigate your life experience and even go to the Tiandu Kingdom to meet your father."
"It was me as a mother who underestimated you. Your father is right. The child has grown up and has become independent. We can no longer control him."
"But second brother, what's going on between you and Shangguan Qingxi?"
That day in Ningsheng Palace, her Li'er hugged Shangguan Qingxi like that, and even she, as a mother, was moved, let alone others?
"Would it be good for her to be my mother's daughter-in-law in the future?"
Wei Li's words exploded between them like a thunderbolt, leaving Ning Shuyuan dumbfounded on the spot.
"What did you say?"
Daughter-in-law?
Her former sister-in-law is now her daughter-in-law?
Why does this feel so strange?
If Ning Shuyuan knew that the person in front of her was not her son but her royal brother, what kind of expression would she have?
Fortunately, he had the foresight to not tell her his true identity in advance, otherwise, given Ning Shuyuan's personality, even if she didn't faint, she would still feel resentful.
Therefore, in order not to add psychological burden to her, he planned not to reveal this secret for the time being.
Of course, in addition to these, what is more important is that I don’t want to turn the simple mother-child relationship into a more complicated relationship.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to having such a father and mother. The eldest brother is like a father. To him, Wei Ziheng is both a father and an elder brother.
Ning Shuyuan has always had a good temper. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. She is a sister-in-law and also a mother. This kind of relationship is the most suitable state at present.
"You and Yun Ge? No, you and Qing Xi. When did you two get together?"
"Mom, don't worry about this. Just tell me whether you are satisfied with this daughter-in-law or not."
Ning Shuyuan naturally understood Du Yunge's character and Shangguan Qingxi's abilities.
However, isn’t it a bit weird that the former emperor’s sister-in-law was suddenly downgraded to become his daughter-in-law?
Not only was she embarrassed, but Shangguan Qingxi was embarrassed as well, right?
"Last time when dad was poisoned, the ghost doctor was Shangguan Qingxi in disguise. It was her son who asked for help."
Ning Shuyuan looked at him in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"
"Second brother, you are so mean. No wonder I thought this ghost doctor was weird at that time. No wonder I felt that Aunt Ruyan treated her differently. Now that I think about it, it turns out that you two have had an unclear relationship for a long time!"
"How is she now?" They haven't seen her since they left the palace.
"The Queen Mother is still thinking about her. She is so happy to hear that she is fine now."
Ning Shuyuan's breathing suddenly stagnated when she thought of Ling Yuan who paid a heavy price for this. Wei Tanya and Wei Li also fell silent.
"When she recovers, I will take her into the palace. Now, it is not suitable for her to go out."
Although Shangguan Qingxi's true identity was exposed during this palace turmoil, no one dared to discuss it afterwards due to the empress dowager's warning.
Especially now that the harem is full of dead or disabled people, even the late emperor and Concubine Zhen are missing, no one dares to bring bad luck at this time.
"Your seventh uncle, when you have time, go and see your seventh sister-in-law."
Ning Shuyuan endured the pain in her heart and said, "Your Seventh Sister-in-law is already dead. Please persuade your Seventh Uncle to bury the child as soon as possible. It's not a good idea for him to just keep guarding the body!"
"I'm afraid that I can't enter his Youyue Lake. He has reached the point where he doesn't recognize his relatives. He doesn't want to see anyone and doesn't care about anyone."
"My Lord, My Lord, Miss Shangguan ignored the servants' dissuasion and insisted on going out. Now she has reached the gate."
At this moment, a little girl came running over in a hurry. Wei Li frowned and angrily asked, "Why are you reporting now?"
He immediately stood up and walked out, "What's going on?"
"I don't know either. The young lady took the initiative to bathe and change clothes after you left. I didn't expect that after washing, she got up and walked out. I couldn't stop her!"
Wei Li's face changed, and his heart ached. It seemed that she finally knew it.
How could he forget that besides him, there were other people who knew the whole story.
She today is no longer the Du Yunge who only had the Du family as her support.
She now owns the Zihuang Palace, and she is even the leader of the Zihuang Palace's Shamen.
With such an identity, how could he not get any information?
After all, he was too confident. Thinking of this, Wei Li's pace became faster and faster, and in a short while, he caught up with her.
The moment Shangguan Qingxi was about to go out, he stood in front of her.
"You can't go yet."
Shangguan Qingxi frowned slightly and looked at him unhappily, "Get out of the way, I want to go see her in person."
"No, Wei Jie's current condition is not suitable for meeting people. What if he hurts you?"
"He won't hurt me,"
"Why are you so stubborn? You are not in a good condition to go out now. Can you wait a little longer?"
"No, I want to go now. I want to see her. She died for me, but now that I am sober, I have to hide here like a turtle. Wei Li, do you think this is what I should do?"
"I already owe her my life, won't you let me see her for the last time?"
"Perhaps, things are not as complicated as you think. You don't know that Diao Yi and Ling Wuya have already seen that they, who should hate Wei Jie the most, have let him go. This is not normal. Perhaps Ling Yuan,"
"Then I should go see her, don't you understand? Only when I see her with my own eyes can I feel at ease, Wei Li, get out of the way!"
"Li'er, stop arguing. If Qingxi wants to go, let her go. If you are worried, stay with her."
At some point, Ning Shuyuan and Wei Tanya also rushed over. When Shangguan Qingxi heard their voices, a hint of discomfort immediately flashed across her pale face. She looked at Ning Shuyuan, and for a moment she didn't know what to call her.
Fortunately, Ning Shuyuan smiled at her kindly, "Li'er, why are you still standing there? It's windy outside, and her body hasn't recovered yet. If you want to go, go quickly."
"Mother, then you guys,"
"I feel relieved to see Qingxi is fine. Okay, you guys go. Yaer and I will go back first. It won't be too late to return home when you are free."
Having said that, Wei Li obviously had no need to stop them. Helplessly, he could only nod and said, "Then mother, be careful. Tan Ya, take good care of mother."
"I know, bro. Go ahead!"
Wei Li helped Shangguan Qingxi, who was eager to leave, onto the carriage. The two sat in silence for a while. Qingxi finally couldn't help but break the silence: "I'm sorry, if I don't look at them, no one will be able to sleep."
"I understand, but you have to be mentally prepared."
It was not until she arrived at the Phoenix Palace that Shangguan Qingxi understood what this sentence meant.
The gate of the Fengwang Mansion would not open no matter how hard they knocked, and it was eerily quiet inside and outside the mansion.
Shangguan Qingxi looked at the streets that were once prosperous and solemn, but now looked so desolate, and couldn't help feeling sad.
Along the way, she saw many destroyed houses and traces of burning corpses of all sizes on the streets. She felt as if a stone was placed in her heart, and she felt depressed to the point of suffocation.
What is particularly sad is that today's capital city has almost become a deserted city. How terrible is this?
Just one poisonous person can bring about such horrific consequences. It turns out that human beings are so insignificant.
Oh……
It was ridiculous that the plan she had been brewing for many years was ruined by this vicious man. She didn't even know whether Wei Yuchen was dead or alive.
Was this revenge avenged or not?
Qingxi was confused.
When Shangguan Qingxi was staring at the street in a daze, Wei Li hugged her around the waist and jumped directly onto the wall of Fengwang Mansion.
Qingxi was caught off guard and tightly grasped the front of his collar, "Do we really have to use this method?"
Qingxi felt a little reluctant when she glanced at Wei Li's men who were already fighting with the secret guards of Phoenix Palace behind her.
"He has locked himself up here for more than half a month. If he wants to get in, this is the only way."
Although he had temporarily gotten rid of the secret guards outside the mansion, Wei Li knew that greater challenges were ahead.
As expected, when the two appeared at the edge of Youyue Lake, the four guards appeared at the same time. When they saw Shangguan Qingxi, they frowned at the same time: "Why are you here?"
It was because of this woman that their prince became what he is now, and the little princess also died because of her.
Qingchen's tone was not good, and even carried strong hostility, which made Wei Li very unhappy, but Shangguan Qingxi didn't care: "I want to meet them, please help me report back."
"The prince does not see guests, and no one is exempted. Prince Li, please do not embarrass us."
"I just wanted to check on his injuries. Besides, he had previously instructed that I would no longer be restricted from entering this place. Did you forget that?"
"Miss Shangguan, this is a different time now. The prince is not in a good condition to see anyone right now, including you!"
Qingchen's persistence made Wei Li very impatient, and he immediately glared at him.
"Then go and ask him whether he wants to see us or not. If he doesn't, we'll leave immediately. But what if he does? Can you afford the consequences?"
"You," Qing Chen was about to confront him, but Qing Ye stepped forward at the right time and said, "Forget it, go ask."
Although Qingchen looked reluctant, he didn't refuse in the end.
