Chapter 198 Deliberate
Yun Bailian's voice was choked.
She tried hard to stare forward, but her whole face was swollen, especially the area around her eyes, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.
She had been holding on until now relying on her anger and hatred, but finally she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
But at this moment no one cared about Xiao Zirui and Yun Bailian. Everyone followed Yun Qingqing to a rockery.
After turning around an angle, I found that there was a secret cave entrance in the rockery, which was blocked by rugged stone pillars and was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Yun Qingqing was about to step in when Xiao Changheng grabbed her.
"Wait! I don't know what's going on inside, let's send someone to investigate first."
"We can't wait. If we're any later, we won't be able to save him." Yun Qingqing shook her head. "Don't worry, there's no danger inside. Have someone guard the cave entrance first, and have the doctor get ready to treat the knife wound."
After saying that, she walked in and Xiao Changheng didn't stop her.
Once you enter the cave, the temperature inside drops suddenly, far exceeding the coldness of a normal cave.
Yun Qingqing's pupils glowed with light, and without any need to adjust, she could see everything inside the cave clearly, including the one ghost and two evil spirits that ordinary people could not see at all.
She even knew these two ghost messengers.
Bai Wuchang gave her his unchanging smile:
"It's Miss Qingqing. Nice to meet you again."
Hei Wuchang nodded at her silently.
Yun Qingqing rubbed his brows:
"You guys came too quickly. You're not waiting here for him to leave his body just to boost sales, are you?"
"You're overthinking. How can we be so free?" Bai Wuchang paused, "I just happened to be passing by, and the result is..."
He pointed at the expressionless soul beside him, and waved the open booklet in his hand towards Yun Qingqing:
"His life span is not over yet, but he will not survive this injury. It is useless to stuff his soul back."
"But it's troublesome to bring it back. I was just worrying about it, and then you came. We are really destined to be together, don't you think?"
Yun Qingqing felt that his squinting smiling face actually had a bit more sincerity.
Do you really want to pass this problem on to her to solve?
She chuckled softly and felt relieved. She was originally afraid that the two ghost officials would insist on taking her soul away, and she would have to go to the underworld again.
"Okay, leave it to me." She waved her hand, took out a talisman and lowered her head to check on Yan Ning's condition.
"Okay, then we'll take our leave!"
Yun Qingqing raised her head, and saw that only Yan Ningmu's dazed soul was left in front of her.
Those two ghost officials ran very fast.
She shook her head speechlessly, placed the talisman on Yan Ning's forehead, used her hands to perform the soul-calling technique to guide his soul into his body, and then took out several other talismans to set up a formation.
The formation emitted a faint golden light. He had a fatal penetration wound on his chest. It would be too costly to repair it directly, but a minor repair would be enough to save his life.
After a while, sweat appeared on Yun Qingqing's forehead, and Yan Ning took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Yun Qingqing stopped pinching her fingers, took out a pill and handed it to him:
"Open your mouth."
The gradually fading golden light reflected on Yun Qingqing's face. Yan Ning's blank eyes focused on her and he stared at her without moving.
"Eat this, and your injury will heal faster." Yun Qingqing knew that he had just experienced a life-and-death crisis and had not figured out the situation yet, so she started to explain.
Yan Ning came to his senses, opened his mouth obediently and swallowed the medicine.
The pill dissolved as soon as it entered his throat, and he felt a warm current flowing down his throat and straight into his limbs. His originally numb body finally regained its senses.
Immediately afterwards, the pain from several wounds in his chest, waist, abdomen and back came, and his breathing suddenly stagnated, suppressing the painful groan in his throat.
Yan Ning looked at Yun Qingqing and moved his lips a few times as if he wanted to speak.
But she had already stood up and walked out, ordering the two guards:
"Go and carry the person out. Be careful not to disturb the wound."
In addition to several princes and imperial guards, there were also many important officials of the court waiting outside.
When they saw Yan Ning being pushed out of the cave, they were all stunned, and the blood color drained away from Dou Cheng's face in an instant.
"How, how could it be... How could he be here! Isn't he..."
Yun Qingqing sneered and had him escorted to Yan Ning:
"You told those lies before, didn't you think he had no chance of survival from such a serious injury?"
She turned to Yan Ning:
"Commander Yan, please tell everyone how you got the injury?"
When Yan Ning looked at Dou Cheng, her eyes were already blazing with fire and her teeth were almost broken.
He said word by word:
"Dou, Cheng! I promoted you to deputy general. How have I ever done you any wrong? You actually attacked me from behind and tried to kill me!"
Dou Cheng saw that it was impossible to escape the crime, so he said:
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too pushy! How can you take the position of the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard at such a young age, but let us, who have more experience, serve as your subordinates?"
"I just don't accept it! As long as you are here, I can only be a deputy forever! How can I accept this!"
"Yan Ning, you deserve to die! Hahahahahahaha..."
Facing the shocked, contemptuous and disgusted looks of the crowd, Dou Cheng didn't care at all and laughed like crazy.
"What a bullshit commander of the imperial guards who only obeys the emperor's orders! The old emperor is almost dying and you still insist on sticking to your principles. What a bullshit fairness and impartiality!"
"What a great opportunity this is, hahahahaha... I can just quietly kill you and then support the crown prince to ascend the throne, and the credit for following the dragon will be mine!"
Xiao Zirui had just hurriedly arranged for people to carry Yun Bailian back for treatment, and when he walked over he heard Dou Cheng's roar.
He gasped in shock, rushed over and kicked him in the chest:
"How dare you curse my father and slander me! If I knew that Commander Yan was missing because of you, I would have killed you with a knife long ago!"
Dou Cheng was kicked so hard that he vomited blood. He collapsed to the ground with a pale face and just looked at him with a dark look.
Xiao Zirui avoided his gaze, turned around and bowed to Xiao Changheng:
"Uncle, don't listen to his nonsense. Father has been seriously ill these past few days, and rumors are spreading everywhere that you have died for your country. I asked the imperial guards to be on alert because I saw that the court was unstable. I have absolutely no selfish motives!"
"Wait until your father recovers and then talk to him about this matter." Xiao Changheng's eyes were indifferent. He waved his hand and ordered people to take Dou Cheng away.
The matter became clear, and the imperial physician gave Yan Ning emergency treatment. Xiao Changheng returned with the court officials who had witnessed everything.
In the bedroom, the emperor heard that Commander Yan was almost killed, and he started coughing in anger.
Fortunately, the emperor is finally safe and everything is back on track.
Yun Qingqing saw Xiao Changheng looking at her several times, but when she looked back, he avoided her sight, and she felt puzzled.
There have been a lot of affairs pressing on the court these days. Now that Xiao Changheng is back and has to take on the responsibility of regent, he lets Yun Qingqing go home first while he stays in the palace to handle government affairs.
As for Xiao Zirui and Yun Bailian, they continued to be confined in the mansion. Yun Bailian's face and hands were still swollen, and she had to recuperate for a while.
Before returning home, Xiao Zirui went to Fengqi Palace with the Queen, and the Imperial Preceptor also went with them.
The inner hall of Fengqi Palace.
After the queen dismissed the servants, she looked at the imperial teacher with an unhappy expression:
"Why are you speaking for Yun Qingqing today? Even if she has some background in the Seven Stars Palace, so what? As long as we insist that her methods are witchcraft, she won't be able to prove it herself!"
Xiao Zirui was stunned:
"So the Imperial Master didn't misunderstand that Yun Qingqing was a witch, and you... did it on purpose?"
