"Where is he? Is he still alive?" The Queen Mother was so excited that she even ignored Xu Jinyi's ready posture and stepped forward to grab her shoulders.
"He was still alive last year, wasn't he?"
As soon as Nian Xi's name came out, Xu Jinyi's eyes flashed, staring at the empress dowager's profile, a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes.
Hesitantly speaking, "The autumn wind is blowing gently, and I wait for the clouds to return year after year."
The Queen Mother's tears instantly fell: "He is still alive, he is still alive, where is he now? If he is still alive, why doesn't he show up, why?"
Looking at the excited empress dowager, Xu Jinyi thought of his master's words, connected all the words together, and probably understood some things.
If this is true, then Han Ting is right, and the empress dowager in front of him is indeed a pitiful woman.
Xu Jinyi did not answer her, but took out the jade pendant envelope given to her by her master when she was in the capital from her arms (space).
Seeing the familiar jade pendant again, the Queen Mother's tears flowed even more violently.
The Queen Mother took it with trembling hands, squatted down, and sobbed sadly like a little woman.
The nanny who had been serving her sighed inwardly, understanding that this was the empress dowager's obsession.
Everyone was asked to leave, and the nanny also left.
"Why, why? It's been over twenty years, and he's still alive. Why didn't he come back to find me?"
After reading the letter, which did not contain any explanation, the Empress Dowager could not accept it.
Xu Jinyi pursed her lips, not knowing how to tell her the truth.
"Tell me, has he remarried or fallen in love with someone else? What is your relationship with him?"
Xu Jinyi knew she had misunderstood something, so she started to explain: "I'm not his daughter, I'm just his apprentice, and Master hasn't fallen in love with anyone else..."
After a pause, Xu Jinyi pieced together the information she had received from Han Ting and the information her master had revealed, and told the truth...
The Queen Mother sat on the ground in a daze, her body shaking constantly, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.
Her silent crying made people understand the sadness in her heart.
"So... everything was a plot set up by the late emperor, and I am his pawn."
"His life-saving grace and promotion to our Chen family were all fake. He pushed the Chen family into dire straits, then pretended to be a good person and offered a helping hand, making our entire family completely devoted to him and filled with gratitude!"
Thinking about her life in the deep palace for so many years and what she had done to help the young emperor secure the throne, the empress dowager couldn't help but tremble.
"I was so loyal to the late emperor, wholeheartedly helping his son become a successful person, and never had any selfish motives, yet I was plotted against like this."
"Hahaha……"
"Cruel! Late Emperor, you are too cruel!"
"Because of the late emperor's words, in order to repay his kindness, I broke my oath to the young man and used the power of the Chen family to consolidate his son's throne."
"Knowing he was unfit to be emperor, she personally taught the young emperor how to govern the country. Even though he became suspicious, she still tried to block the regent's path."
"Hahahaha... I'm just a joke, a joke."
Xu Jinyi finally heard the news from Han Ting: "Is he in your hands?"
The Queen Mother's tears fell on the envelope. She stood up tremblingly, walked to the shelf beside her, turned the vase, and a secret passage was revealed.
"Where is your master?"
Xu Jinyi paused as he stepped into the secret passage. "I'll ask my master to send me medicine to the Centennial Charity Hall in the capital. He should be here in the next two days."
The thousand-year-old snow lotus was in the hands of her master, and in order to cure Xinyue, she needed her master to work together, so Xu Jinyi invited him.
Judging by the time, her master should arrive within three days.
"Thank you, little girl. When the Regent wakes up, tell him that the Chen family will obey his orders from now on. The Chen family will no longer be a stumbling block to what he wants to do."
Xu Jinyi looked at the empress dowager in front of her, who was not yet forty. Even though she was still graceful and charming, the fatigue on her face and the white hair on her temples made her know how much she had suffered over the years.
In the future, this might still be his master's wife. Thinking of this, Xu Jinyi took out a small jade bottle from his arms.
"This is Xiaojin's gift to Master's wife. Please forgive me for being so offensive just now."
The Queen Mother showed a shy little woman's face, knowing that this was the apprentice of her long-time lover. Now when she looked at Xu Jinyi, her eyes were full of love.
"The Regent is inside. I've already asked the imperial physician to treat his injuries. I didn't send those assassins. I know the Regent is a good person, but I don't want him to seize the throne, nor do I want to hurt him, so..."
"Master's wife, you don't have to explain. I believe you. Han Ting said that you never laid a hand on him."
The two smiled knowingly.
"There's a tunnel in the secret passage that leads to the Regent's Palace. You can go that way."
Xu Jinyi blinked!
"The late emperor was on guard against him and left me a backup plan to deal with him."
Xu Jinyi nodded: "I hope to see Master and his wife come to visit together in a few days."
"must."
Han Ting was seriously injured. Even though the empress dowager had asked the imperial physician to examine him, he was still in a coma and was not out of danger yet.
When Xu Jinyi saw him, she couldn't hold back her tears immediately.
The pale face and the weak rise and fall of his chest reminded Xu Jinyi of the scene of him falling off the cliff.
"When I learned that the emperor had sent a large number of assassins to kill him, I had already sent people out, but it was still a step too late."
Xu Jinyi's eyes turned red like rabbits, and his breathing was so weak that Xu Jinyi was afraid that something might happen to him in the next second.
Xu Jinyi took out Peiyuan Dan from his arms and helped him feed half of it.
After all, there were outsiders here, and the effect of the Peiyuan Pill in the world of immortal cultivation was beyond words, so Xu Jinyi fed them half a pill and was about to take them away.
"No need to send me off. Master's wife, please stay. I just gave you the pills. Remember to hide from others when you use them."
Then Xu Jinyi asked her to help notify General Zhou who was outside to leave.
When he came out of the secret passage, he found himself in Hanyuan Courtyard. Without disturbing anyone, Xu Jinyi helped the man into the room.
Although his complexion looked much better after taking the Peiyuan Pill, he was still not awake, so Xu Jinyi was still very worried.
After unbuttoning his clothes, Xu Jinyi saw that his chest and shoulders were tied with straps.
He untied the wound with heartache. Even though the wound had improved and scabbed over thanks to Peiyuan Dan, Xu Jinyi could still tell from the scar how badly he was injured.
After giving him the remaining half of the Peiyuan Pill, the wound on his chest healed instantly, and his skin returned to normal without any visible scar.
But the person hasn't woken up yet.
Xu Jinyi frowned, reached out to feel his pulse, and his face gradually darkened.
"Xiao Qi, is it true that the elixirs in my space that can cure hundreds of poisons can't cure the poison of these brothers and sisters?"
Xiao Qi: "This is the setting of the small world. If everything in your space can be used, then how can the plot be reasonable?"
"The poison in their bodies can only be cured through the methods of this small world. Peiyuan Pill is an exception."
"The remaining pills are too powerful for this small world. They will be ineffective for anyone except the tasker."
