Chapter 77 Don’t bother, get out of here
Jin Congcong followed Bu Ruo with a resentful look on his face, watching her avoid all the patrolling guards as if it were a piece of cake. He wanted to ask her how she did it, but his mouth was blocked.
Bu Ruo led the three of them all the way to the outside of the emperor's bedroom...
"Master, there are secret guards here."
Bu Ruo hummed softly, and a blue flower appeared in her hand, covering the entire bedroom: "Everyone is asleep, let's go."
Bi'er asked in confusion: "Miss, since you can make them fall asleep, why don't we just..."
Bu Ruo said bitterly, "I want to, but I haven't been able to break through my bottleneck. This flower can only last for half an hour, which is not enough time for us to escape unscathed."
"Don't worry, I'll kill this father and son first once I break through the bottleneck."
"Although we can't kill the emperor now, we can still kill some of the secret guards. Bao'er, I leave it to you. Make sure every secret guard in the bedroom is killed, and then line them up at the door of the bedroom."
Mo Bao: ...
Watching Bu Ruo walk in with Bi'er and Jin Congcong nonchalantly, Mo Bao sighed, took out the soft sword at his waist and went to work.
Bu Ruo entered the emperor's bedroom and saw the emperor sleeping soundly on the bed. She wanted to walk over to him, but Jin Congcong quickly grabbed her.
“Wuwuwu…”
Looking at Jin Congcong who kept shaking his head, Bu Ruo gritted her teeth and said, "I said I won't kill him now. Xiao Yulan's poison hasn't been cured yet. If the Great Zhou falls into chaos now, wouldn't the Crown Prince be able to take the throne legitimately?"
Jin Congcong watched as Bu Ruo stood on the dragon bed, kicked the emperor hard twice, then jumped down and started looking around.
“Wuwuwu…”
"Don't bother, get out of the way."
“Woo… wooo…”
"Hey, stop pulling my sleeve."
Bu Ruo had no choice but to take off the cloth that bound his mouth: "Tell me, what are you doing?"
"I'll help you look for it. Tell me what you're looking for."
Bu Ruoyan said two words with a smile, and then continued searching under the shocked eyes of the two people.
An hour later, Bu Ruo stood at the gate of the dilapidated temple and saw a figure with his back to the gate. He asked tentatively, "Xiao Yulan?"
Xiao Yulan turned his head, walked over and touched the top of Bu Ruo's head: "The king is here to take you back to the palace."
In the carriage, Bu Ruo said guiltily: "You don't ask me why I went to the ruined temple?"
Xiao Yulan lowered his head and carefully played with Bu Ruo's fingers, as if they were some rare treasure.
"I am the late emperor's most beloved prince, and was almost crowned the crown prince."
"so what?"
"So this king knows there is a secret passage leading to the palace, and he knows where Ruo'er went."
"Does that dog father and son know about this secret passage?"
A murderous look flashed in Xiao Yulan's eyes: "The knowledge of this secret passage has only been passed down to each generation of Crown Prince. He came to power illegitimately, so naturally he doesn't know about it."
Bu Ruo was satisfied: "It's okay if I don't know. This way I'll have a place to vent my anger in the future."
Seeing Bu Ruo's depressed mood, Xiao Yulan gently held him in his arms and said, "I already know about my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and two uncles. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you find them, and then we will go together to bring them back."
Bu Ruo's eyes were slightly red: "Xiao Yulan, you don't know, I'm really too frustrated. I've been feeling frustrated to death since I came back."
"The ancestors of the Bu family are not human beings. The second and third branches are so arrogant in front of me, but I can't kill them because of karma."
"I know that what happened to my parents and my two brothers is closely related to that bastard father and son, but my parents haven't been found yet, and you're not well yet. If we kill him now, the Great Zhou will be in chaos and the people will have a hard time."
"But... I'm really angry that I can't kill them, so I've decided that when you feel better, I'll go out and rid the people of this evil."
Xiao Yulan was startled for a moment, then chuckled: "Okay, Ruo'er, go wherever you want to go. I won't ask any more questions. Just tell me before you go out so that I won't worry."
…
On the second day, in the study of the Prince's Mansion
"Your Highness! Your Highness! There's news from the palace."
Xiao Yulan looked up at Cen Nan. In fact, he was also very curious about what Bu Ruo had done yesterday, but before he had the time to ask, she fell asleep in the carriage.
Cen Nan's face lit up with excitement. "The Emperor didn't attend court this morning due to illness. Intelligence reports say that the Emperor was so frightened when he woke up early this morning and saw the corpses of his secret guards filling the doorway to his chambers that he fainted and hasn't woken up yet."
"And...something was lost in the palace."
"What's missing?"
"Imperial Seal!"
Xiao Yulan: ...
In the emperor's bedroom, the prince looked at the imperial physicians coming in and out with an anxious look on his face.
"How is the emperor? Why don't you say something? What are you all doing with those expressions?"
The Queen sat aside and glared at him: "Rui'er, I know you are worried about your father. We will have the result after the imperial physician finishes the examination."
Dean Tang of the Imperial Hospital came over and sighed, "Your Majesty the Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor fainted from shock. His health was already poor and he was recovering, and this shock added to his coma."
"This old minister has already given the emperor some medicine and acupuncture. He should wake up soon."
As he was speaking, Eunuch Li, who had been serving the emperor, suddenly ran out and said, "Empress, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Emperor has woken up."
"The Emperor said that the others should go back first, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should stay."
The Queen gave Xiao Jingrui a deep look and said, "Then I will go back first. You stay here and take good care of your father."
"Yes, I know."
The Queen walked out of the bedroom and looked at the princes, nobles, and concubines waiting below. "The Emperor is fine and has woken up, but he needs to rest. Only the Crown Prince is left by his side. Everyone, please go back first. The Emperor will summon you if anything happens."
As she watched people leave, the worried expression on the queen's face disappeared instantly: "It's a pity that they didn't die after all this."
Caifeng, the maidservant beside the queen, hurriedly looked to the side and was relieved when she saw that there was no one around.
"My lady, be careful with your words. Be careful not to be overheard."
The Queen frowned and walked towards her palace: "As long as Rui'er doesn't take that position, I won't be able to rest easy. I always feel like there's a sword hanging over my head."
"And now the War King is back. Even though he doesn't have many days left to live, he's still alive. As long as he's alive, everything will change."
"Have you found out who did this?"
The reason why the queen asked Caifeng was because Caifeng was in love with the leader of the secret guards who protected the emperor.
"I asked him then, and he said he hadn't found out who did it yet. All the secret guards in the bedroom were killed last night, leaving them no chance to resist. There were no traces of drugs or drugs, so he had no clue for the time being."
