Seeing no way to survive, Tian Xingzi still wanted to escape, but he could not escape the slap from Yu Xiaoxiao, and the old Taoist fainted again under Yu Xiaoxiao's slap.
Yu Xiaoxiao slapped the Taoist master unconscious and said to Jing Mo, "Tie him up tonight and take him to Mo Wen."
There was nothing Jing Mo could do now except nod.
Xiao Wei looked at Wu Huan worriedly and said, "Can Master Wu Huan hold on until we get the antidote back?"
"I think so," Yu Xiao said.
Okay, Jing Mo coughed dryly. He believed in the feelings of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Mo Wen was still sitting in the imperial palace in Fengtian at this time, playing with the teacup in his hand, and asked Emperor Xianzong: "The princess just told me that she is Yu Xiaoxiao, is this her name?"
If it were a normal person, he would definitely think about it. His daughter's name is Yu Linglong, so why did she suddenly tell others that her name is Yu Xiaoxiao? But Xianzong was never a normal person, and he immediately replied: "Oh, Master, you don't know, that's Linglong's nickname." (You must firmly believe that the emperor and the princess are father and daughter ==)
"The princess seems to have seen me," Mo Wen said again.
Xianzong said, "Master, Linglong has been raised in the deep palace since she was a child. How could she have the blessing to meet you? It's just that I occasionally recall with her the things that happened when I was taught in the Eternal Life Temple. Master, my daughter has admired you for a long time."
"Yeah?"
"Have I ever told a lie in front of the master?" Xianzong said shamelessly.
"I can see," Mo Wen smiled and said, "The princess is a good daughter."
"Yes!" Xianzong responded with a yes, feeling inexplicably sad. What a good daughter she was, a good daughter who made him uneasy every day!
Mo Wen gently put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and said, "I'll take my leave first. I won't disturb you anymore."
Xianzong also stood up hurriedly and said with a smile: "I couldn't even ask you to come to Fengtian, so how can you say you are disturbing me? Master, please stay in Fengtian for a few more days this time." While Xianzong said this, he was silently saying in his heart, get out of here quickly!
Mo Wen did not comment, but the smile on his face looked gentler. Mo Wen walked out of the hall, the corners of his clothes lifted slightly in the wind, and he had the momentum of walking above the sky.
Xianzong looked at Mo Wen, then looked at himself. His Majesty the Emperor couldn't understand why Mo Wen looked so superior to him even though he was wearing a dragon robe. He seemed to be the same little kid who peed his pants when he saw Mo Wen. He was so upset!
"Zhao Qiu Ming," Mo Wen walked out of the hall and suddenly said to Emperor Xianzong.
Xianzong immediately said: "Master, rest assured, I will not let this bastard off easily!"
Mo Wen smiled and said, "Prime Minister Zhao may not be the one who wants to hurt Fenglin. I think he is seriously injured this time. Ningsheng, please don't embarrass him for the time being."
"I will listen to the master," Xianzong agreed to Mo Wen without a second thought, but he was shocked in his heart, could it be that Zhao Qiu Ming was colluding with the Eternal Life Temple in some way that he didn't know about?
Mo Wen walked out of the imperial palace in Fengtian. Xianzong accompanied Mo Wen and walked all the way from the imperial study to the palace gate. Xianzong, who had always been lazy, was so tired that he was panting heavily.
Mo Wen got on the sedan chair and looked at Xianzong who was holding the curtain for him. He reminded him, "Ningsheng, remember to send the woman who assassinated Fenglin to Huguo Temple as soon as possible."
Xianzong agreed to Mo Wen immediately. He had a hard time taking care of his own daughter's life and death, so how could he not make things difficult for Zhao Qiumin's daughter? Xianzong said that it would be better not to make things difficult for him, as the emperor was also a human being and there were things he could not do.
In the Ministry of Punishment, Concubine Hua looked at Zhao Yingqin lying in front of her and laughed softly, "Sister Zhao really has a good plan."
Miss Zhao San's hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn, and her body was covered in blood and mud. She looked completely unlike a human being, but her face was still very beautiful, and her natural beauty was hard to deny.
They are all women of Emperor Xianzong, and Concubine Hua knows exactly what kind of temper Emperor Xianzong has. Looking at Zhao Yingqin's face, is there anything that Concubine Hua doesn't understand?
Zhao Yingqin was so frightened that she shrank into the corner desperately, as if she would be safe if she stayed there, not seeing anything and not hearing anything.
Concubine Hua glanced at the nanny beside her.
The nanny walked up to Zhao Yingqin, grabbed Miss Zhao San's hair, and dragged her all the way to Concubine Hua.
Concubine Hua lifted Zhao Yingqin's chin with her foot and said, "This time when you came to the palace to see your sister, you couldn't be led by her to see His Majesty. Are you sad?"
"No," Zhao Yingqin shook her head, her scalp hurting from being pulled.
"Really?" Concubine Hua smiled. After all, she was no longer a young girl of her twenties. When Concubine Hua smiled, many wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Zhao Yingqin nodded desperately again.
"Your Majesty," a palace servant handed a small bottle to Concubine Hua with both hands.
Hua Fei held the small wooden bottle in her hand, looked at Miss Zhao San's face and sighed, "She is so pretty. If His Majesty saw this, he would be so happy."
Tears welled up from Miss Zhao San's eyes. There were very few women who could cry and still look beautiful. Zhao Yingqin was undoubtedly one of them. With tears streaming down her face, she didn't look embarrassed at all, but rather looked pitiful.
Gu Xingnuo was standing in the courtyard of the gate of the Ministry of Punishment at this time. After hearing the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Punishment tell him that Concubine Hua was in the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment with her men, Gu Xingnuo politely said to the eunuch in charge, "Then I'll wait here for a while."
The eunuch in charge was one of Jingzhong's many adopted sons, but at this moment the eunuch did not dare to be disrespectful to Gu Xingnuo. He did not ask Gu Xingnuo what he was doing in the Ministry of Punishment and then left.
"Will the ladies in the harem go into the dungeon?" Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, the imperial guard who followed Gu Xingnuo whispered. The imperial guard was acquainted with Gu Xingnuo, so he didn't care about what he said.
Gu Xingnuo just smiled. What could Concubine Hua come to the Ministry of Punishment for? This lady must know that Miss Zhao San is as beautiful as a flower. If she doesn't take this opportunity to destroy this face that can bring the Zhao family back to life, not only Concubine Hua, but all the ladies in the palace will be unwilling, right?
Young Master Gu looked down at his hands. Just looking at these hands, he couldn't tell how much blood was stained on them. Concubine Zhao fell out of favor, Yu Ziming went to be executed, and the eldest prince Yu Ziqing, born to Concubine Hua, was the eldest prince, so he had a greater chance of becoming the emperor. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Gu Xingnuo's eyes, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the smile at the corner of his mouth. This Concubine Hua seemed to be just a stupid woman. The more she had the upper hand, the more she had to keep her composure. Those who fought for power and profit usually died first, and they must be the ones who couldn't keep their composure.
At this time, Hua Fei poured down the wooden bottle in her hand.
The flesh on Zhao Yingqin's face immediately fell off, and her shrill screams echoed throughout the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment.
