Chapter 144 The Empress is unlucky and has only two months to live



A quarter of an hour later.

The two of them changed into their own clothes, and the empress said softly, "Call them in."

The palace gate slowly opened and the three princesses walked in. When they saw the two people in the palace, they were stunned.

"Fourth brother, are you here too?"

Situ Xiu raised his hand and waved, smiling and saying, "Big sister, second sister, third sister, it's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much."

A family should be together.

........

Dali Temple, prison cell.

In a quiet room, a woman in plain clothes and a woman in white clothes sat opposite each other and drank tea.

The woman dressed simply was Princess Yongning.

She looked at Princess Xuanning who was sitting opposite her and said calmly, "I told you, if you can't beat Third Sister, why bother?"

Princess Xuanning: “…”

"Tell me what happened. I'm very curious." Princess Yongning picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"She is not an ordinary person, she may be cultivating immortality..."

Princess Xuan Ning sighed and recounted carefully what happened today. A man who could kill dozens of grandmasters in an instant with just a sword stood there without moving.

Such people are not ordinary people.

After finishing her speech, Princess Xuanning picked up the teacup and drank. She glanced at Princess Yongning and saw that her expression was calm and she frowned slightly.

"Sister, you don't seem surprised at all."

"Ah," Princess Yongning said in a pretentious tone, "I was surprised, but I was just a little slow to react. I didn't expect that my third sister was actually cultivating immortality. Hiss, this is terrifying."

Princess Xuanning: “…”

"But don't worry, with Third Sister's style, she won't do anything to you. At most, she will lock you up here." Princess Yongning said casually.

Princess Xuanning: “….”

......

"Second aunt is rebelling?"

"Were the people participating in the Three Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament also poisoned by my second aunt?"

"The royal family is also involved?"

Situ Qing, Situ Jing and Situ Yue were all shocked and couldn't believe it.

When my second aunt rebelled, there was no sign of trouble, not even a ripple. It came too suddenly.

For a moment, the three of them were a little overwhelmed.

"This is what happened. I have sent your second aunt to your eldest aunt's place. Let them both calm down." The empress said calmly.

The three princesses: “….”

Is this a subtle hint?

Situ Xiu lowered his head and smiled. The empress's words seemed to reveal a warning. She didn't want her daughter to be like her two aunts, losing her freedom or even her life for the throne.

"I'm hungry too, Imperial Master. Go prepare dinner. I want to have dinner with the children." said the empress.

dinner?

The four of them glanced outside. It was probably the afternoon, between 3 and 5 p.m., and it was still dark.

Moreover, the empress wants to have dinner with them?

The four of them looked at each other. The three princesses had strange expressions in their eyes, but only Situ Xiu pretended to be surprised.

Yes, the empress had not dined with them for many years. They usually ate separately and rarely spent time together.

Therefore, it all felt too sudden.

While the Imperial Master was preparing dinner, the Empress also left to change her clothes.

There were four people left in the palace. The three princesses looked at Situ Xiu at the same time, their eyes revealing that they should tell the truth.

Seeing this, Situ Xiu said innocently, "Didn't the Empress just say that I was taken hostage by my Second Aunt?"

"I was so miserable, I almost died. I was in such a miserable state for three days and three nights. Do you know how I survived?"

At this point, Situ Xiu choked up, raised his sleeves to cover his face, put his hand into his mouth to pick up saliva, touched his eyes, and immediately tears seemed to flow.

The three of them saw him crying and hurried to comfort him, "It's all my fault, my dear brother. Don't be sad. I promise that this won't happen again in the future."

"Yes, I will protect you from now on."

"Royal brother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for being careless. I should have brought you back earlier."

Situ Xiu smiled in his heart.

I managed to get away with it, otherwise I would have been questioned by the three imperial sisters, which would have been extremely annoying.

However, the three imperial sisters were really nice to him.

Fortunately, we will maintain a good relationship.

This is the most important thing.

.......

Dinner started at five o'clock. Situ Xiu, the empress, and three princesses, the five of them ate together.

The beginning of the banquet was very awkward, and no one spoke. Perhaps it was because the Empress was there, the three princesses were unable to relax. In order to maintain her aloofness, the Empress did not speak much and only said a few words occasionally, and the three princesses would respond casually.

If this continues, the meal will be very awkward.

Fortunately, there was Situ Xiu, a master who livened up the atmosphere. He first told a few jokes to make everyone laugh, and then started telling stories to attract everyone's attention.

That's how dinner ended.

At night, the empress arranged for Situ Xiu to stay in the palace to rest, but Situ Xiu refused, saying that he had not returned to Xiuhe Manor for several days and was worried that something might happen to the manor.

In fact, he was going to the Taiyin Dynasty tomorrow to ask the Taiyin Saint Lord for the antidote and get rid of the Taiyin Saint Lord by the way.

On the way back, Situ Xiu left in a carriage. After everything that happened today, he had a premonition that something big would happen in the palace tomorrow and the empress would reorganize the government.

Under the cover of night,

A carriage left the Kyoto city gate and headed towards Xiuhe Village.

No one has been chatting in the chat group these days. Situ Xiu didn't see any messages every time he entered. After thinking carefully, he realized that the copy had lost tens of thousands of points. The girls should be in seclusion practicing to improve their strength.
