Chapter 229 I will give you this body of flesh and blood
Ji Suxian came in carrying the medicinal food, followed by Bai Xiaoye.
"Hey, hey, hey, why didn't you tell me you two were getting married?"
She handed the medicinal food to Xiao Qingxu and pointed outside.
"I was wondering why there were so many people staring at us. Turns out you two recruited them."
Twelve peeked outside and saw a dense crowd of heads.
Lu Heying, Cheng Yishui, Ju Gongcheng, Bailipu, Yuan Ji, Cheng Xunzhi, Cheng Qi, Du Po Po, Master Shanhe, Liu Mengyao, Xiao Tao, Zhu Hao... From the moment Shang Yuwan woke up, the news spread throughout Kyoto like wings, and everyone who was on good terms with Prince Qi's Mansion came.
But because he was afraid of disturbing Shang Yuwan's peace, Bailipu did not ask anyone to inform Shang Yuwan and others, and they all waited quietly outside.
Everyone first bowed to Xiao Qinggu, and then asked Shang Yuwan about her well-being.
Seeing fatigue in her eyes, they all stood up and said goodbye tacitly.
Twelve and Ji Suxian stayed to accompany Shang Yuwan, while Xiao Qingxu and Lu Heying went to send Xiao Qinggu and a large group of people to the door.
Everyone congratulated Xiao Qingxu repeatedly: "Then we can all wait to drink in the wedding wine of His Royal Highness the Regent Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Qi!"
No one in the court objected to Shang Yuwan being named regent - Qiu Bo Ke made a small protest, but no one listened to him, so it was ignored.
"I hope you will all do me the honor of attending." Xiao Qingxu's face was rarely red. "If there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive me."
Cheng Xun knew: "Your Highness Prince Qi has always been cautious in his work, how could he not be thoughtful?"
Cheng Qi curled his lips and said silently, "I haven't even married my sister yet, and you're already...Ah! Why are you stepping on me?"
Cheng Xunzhi didn't even spare Cheng Qi a glance, and smiled at Xiao Qingxu, "It's getting late, so we won't disturb you any longer."
Xiao Qingxu smiled and nodded.
Bailipu turned and left, pulling Yuan Ji, "Let's go."
Yuan Ji looked at Xiao Qingxu deeply, then followed Baili Pu into the carriage.
After sending everyone away, Xiao Qingxu looked back in the direction of Shang Yuwan and his brows gradually furrowed.
"How's the Yue family doing?"
Shang Yuwan sat at the head of the bed and suddenly asked about the situation at Yuezhu's family.
Twelve was silent for a moment, then said, "Before the incident, Yue Zhu was expelled from the Yue family."
Shang Yuwan's eyes changed slightly.
"After he died, Yueyou and Yueshuang collected his body. Madam Qu was so grief-stricken that she died with him."
Shang Yuwan's eyes felt sore, he turned his head away and reached out to wipe away the tears that were sliding down his eyes.
Ji Suxian sighed softly, "Neither you nor Shang Mingqi can be blamed for this. It was his own choice."
"It was Yueyou who helped him get rid of his family, and the horse he stole that day was also stolen by Yueshuang from the imperial stables—she's even braver than her father."
Shang Yuwan pursed her lips, calmed down, turned around and looked at Ji Suxian, "Why isn't Yao Lao here?"
"He left as soon as he recovered from his injuries, and he didn't tell me where he went. He's been to all sorts of places, so I'm afraid we won't see him again until he comes back."
In a sense, Yao Lao had betrayed Baijialou. Although no one had ever mentioned it, Yao Lao knew he had made a mistake, leaving all the rare medicinal herbs he had collected over the years to Xiao Qingxu and Shang Yuwan before disappearing.
If he doesn't want to come back, no one can find him.
Twelve took out a wooden box from his bosom and handed it to Shang Yuwan, "The hairpin has been repaired. The blessing stone is also here."
Shang Yuwan took it in his hand, lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed softly.
"...Rest well. If you need anything, just call me. There are people guarding outside."
Ji Suxian pulled Twelve.
Although Twelve didn't want to leave, he still followed Ji Suxian reluctantly.
The Shang family had been avenged, the former queen had been avenged, and Xiao Qinggu had ascended the throne. Everything was moving in a good direction, but Shang Yuwan still needed some peace and quiet.
Along the way, many people died, many were injured, and we suffered a lot.
There was a glimmer in Shang Yuwan's eyes, and big tears fell on the silver jade feather-shaped hairpin and the blessing stone.
She curled up and held the hairpin and the blessing stone tightly in her arms.
She wanted to be alone, quiet down.
Only when the turmoil in her heart subsided a little, could she smile at others.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Qinggu dismissed all the palace servants, sat in front of the desk, and took out three brocade boxes, two large and one small, from the secret compartment.
In the brocade box was a letter from the people of Luzhou City thanking the princess for saving the city, and another one was the dagger used by Xiao Tong.
In the last small brocade box, there was a double carp jade pendant that had been repaired by Master Shanhe.
Looking at the dagger, Xiao Qinggu recalled the day when she went to the prison to find Xiao Tong.
This dagger was brought by her.
"Why did you give birth to me?"
That day, Xiao Qinggu asked everyone to leave, walked into the cell himself, and confronted Xiao Tong face to face.
Xiao Tong looked at her calmly, sitting cross-legged on the straw bed. "If you're pregnant, you'll give birth. What's there to ask?"
Aborting a child is very harmful to your health.
Xiao Qinggu asked again: "Who is my father?"
At this time, Xiao Tong paused, and then said: "He died a long time ago, it doesn't matter who he is."
Seeing that she refused to say anything more, Xiao Qinggu threw the dagger hidden in his sleeve towards her, "Don't you want to kill me? Come on."
"You know I won't kill you." Xiao Tong raised his eyes, "You come and threaten me with death?"
"Your sub-Gu is still in my body."
"That was an accident. Who knew you were so stupid? You don't even look like I gave birth to you."
"No." Xiao Qinggu looked at her steadily, "You knew I would do that, you did it on purpose."
Seeing that Xiao Qinggu didn't believe her, Xiao Tong closed her eyes and said, "It has already happened, it doesn't matter..."
"So you took the magic medicine just waiting for this moment?"
Xiao Tong opened his eyes suddenly, "Miracle medicine?"
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Qinggu couldn't help but shed tears.
"Poisonous Granny told me that only by taking the magic medicine can the poisonous embryo survive."
However, Poison Grandma did not tell Xiao Qinggu that the magic medicine was found by the young patriarch of the alien race.
When Xiao Tong heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"If you still want to use me to hurt them..." Xiao Qinggu said as he walked towards Xiao Tong, half squatted down, picked up the dagger and put it in Xiao Tong's hand.
Xiao Tong seemed to be recalling something before he realized Xiao Qinggu's actions. "What are you going to do?"
Halfway through her words, Xiao Qinggu grabbed her hand tightly and stabbed the dagger into his own abdomen.
Xiao Tong quickly deflected the sword. Although he didn't hit any vital parts, Xiao Qinggu still groaned in pain.
She rested her chin on Xiao Tong's shoulder and said in a hollow voice, "I still can't...accept the fact that you betrayed Dayu..."
"But I am...I am yours, child..."
Xiao Tong remained silent and said nothing.
"Because of me...she repeatedly tolerated..."
"Because of me...she is afraid to take action..."
"Because I..."
Xiao Qinggu choked up and said, "It's all because of me... I caused her to be so badly injured, and I even asked her to comfort me..."
Xiao Tong still didn't speak, so Xiao Qinggu continued, "You said I am your daughter, your child."
"today."
Xiao Qinggu grabbed Xiao Tong's hand a little harder and thrust the dagger deeper.
"I will return this body of flesh and blood to you."
Xiao Tong pushed Xiao Qinggu away and watched her gradually lose consciousness.
Xiao Qinggu looked into her eyes, and in a trance, Xiao Qinggu seemed to see a tear in the corner of her eye.
At the last moment before he lost consciousness, Xiao Qinggu heard the voice of the poisonous mother-in-law.
"turn out to be......"
The poisonous mother-in-law sighed.
"It's you."
