Chapter 220 Su Yue is back
Two whole months later, spring finally arrived in Dongyou. The whole city was filled with blooming flowers and the fragrance filled the air.
The people still lived their ordinary lives, put on light spring clothes, and started spring plowing and sowing, but the court was already in turmoil.
The emperor has been seriously ill and lying in bed, unable to get out of bed for several days. Reward notices are posted everywhere in the city, seeking famous doctors to cure the emperor.
It was said that Concubine Yi, who was in the limelight before, had an affair with a strange man and was caught in bed by the emperor. The emperor was so angry that he sent Concubine Yi to the cold palace.
As for the Queen, it was said that her personality changed drastically after the Emperor released her from confinement. She usually ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures, and no longer asked about matters in the harem.
Under such circumstances, Concubine Yu was like a dark horse, emerging in the harem.
Many people even speculated whether Concubine Yu’s six-year-old son, Shangguan Yunxuan, would be the next emperor.
After all, the second prince has been kept in seclusion, and it seems that the emperor is very disappointed in him.
As for the third prince, ever since the coming-of-age ceremony of the prime minister's daughter, Princess Jiaping, disappeared, he has stayed indoors all day long. Even when the emperor came to his house in person many times, he always returned disappointed.
From then on, Dongyou had an extremely tyrannical prince, who was moody. The person that could not be mentioned in front of him was Su Yue, otherwise he would not even know how she died.
As for the Gu family, the emperor was seriously ill and the court was in chaos. The Mo Kingdom also got the news and launched a large-scale attack on the border.
General Gu had no choice but to return to the border and continue fighting the enemy.
The daily court sessions had been suspended for a long time because the emperor was seriously ill. Every court official had a knife hanging over their hearts, and they secretly prayed every day that the emperor would at least hold on for a while longer.
No matter whether it is Shangguan Nanfeng or Shangguan Nanxing, as long as it is not a six-year-old child who becomes the emperor, Dongyou can still be saved.
Today, a young girl with a slim figure, a veil on her face, black hair and bright eyes dressed in yellow suddenly appeared in the imperial city.
The girl was walking towards the city, but her attention was attracted by the people gathered at the city gate.
So I walked forward with curiosity.
After seeing the words on the notice clearly, a hint of thought flashed across his watery eyes, and then he stepped forward to take down the notice.
"Little girl, what are you doing?" A rough voice was heard, and the girl's hand, as thin as a scallion, paused.
"You dare to reveal the imperial edict? Are you illiterate? Don't you see that this is a notice to summon all the great doctors in the world to save the current emperor?"
The person who spoke pushed through the crowd and walked to the girl in yellow, speaking with disdain in his tone.
"I know." The girl raised her eyes, and under her long eyelashes, in her watery eyes, was a big man dressed in soldier's clothes.
This big man was Qi Dong, the guard guarding the city gate.
"You still dare to expose it even though you know that? You are so young, even the granddaughter of the imperial physician would be considered young. How can you be so capable of exposing the imperial edict?"
Qi Dong looked at the girl in front of him, although only her eyes were exposed, but he had seen tens of thousands of people at the city gate, and he could guarantee that the girl was definitely not over sixteen years old.
A girl who is not even sixteen years old actually wants to reveal the imperial edict to save the emperor. If she really reveals it, and fails to save the emperor, then if the emperor gets angry, won't he blame me for not guarding the imperial edict well enough and letting anyone be revealed?
"This is none of your business, right?" The girl in yellow frowned slightly. She had only not been back to Dongyou for nearly two months, so why did the people guarding the city gate start to meddle in her business?
That’s right, the girl in yellow is naturally Su Yue.
She was tortured in Yaowang Valley for two months before she was able to pass the level. As soon as her master let her go, she couldn't wait to return to Dongyou.
Originally, she was thinking of going to see her mother and Shangguan Nanxing, but when she suddenly saw this notice, she changed her mind and thought of saving the emperor first.
After all, this emperor is indeed a good father to Shangguan Nanxing.
She didn't want Nanxing to lose this good father so soon.
"Go, go, go, stop making trouble here. If you, a small fry, can cure the emperor's illness, I'll use my head as a stool for you to sit on."
Qi Dong looked at the frail Su Yue in front of him and stepped forward, ready to push him away violently.
But he didn't expect that before he could touch the girl, he felt his arm go numb and he couldn't move.
"Help, there's an assassin!" Qi Dong was caught off guard and saw the girl's cold eyes staring at him. He subconsciously thought that it was the person in front of him who did it, so he shouted loudly.
When the other common people saw the official shouting about the assassin, they were all frightened and scattered, fearing that they would be the next unlucky ones.
Almost in an instant, Su Yue was surrounded by a group of city guards. Each of them had already drawn his sword and was looking at Su Yue with murderous eyes.
Su Yue looked at so many people surrounding her, roughly estimating that there were at least ten of them. Just as she was thinking about introducing herself, her eyes suddenly turned.
The ones he faced before were all dummies. Aren’t these ten people given by God to him for practice?
"It's this little bitch. She is an assassin." Qi Dong shouted loudly. His rough and hoarse voice made Su Yue frown again. This person was really noisy.
Then Su Yue narrowed her eyes and unceremoniously shot out an extremely thin silver needle. Qi Dong felt as if something had bitten him on the neck, and he could not utter a word the next moment.
"Everyone, come at me!" The people surrounding Su Yue saw that Qi Dong suddenly stopped talking and just stared at the woman in yellow with his eyes almost bulging out. They started to move one by one and quickly narrowed the encirclement.
Su Yue looked at the ten people who were approaching her with a decisive look in her eyes.
