Chapter 545: Rebirth of Concubine Shu (VII)
"Of course." Qu Fufeng was most aware of the current affairs and quickly agreed.
"Well, then tell your grandfather this when you go home, and then..." Qu Zhiwei waved at him, motioning him to listen carefully.
Qu Fufeng listened to it obediently, and then said with embarrassment: "Will that person kill me after getting the formula?"
"If you don't do as I say, I will order someone to kill you right now." Qu Zhiwei frowned.
Qu Fufeng: ...
Death is death whether it is early or late. If you try your best, your bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle. Maybe you won’t have to die later.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." He gritted his teeth and agreed.
Qu Zhiwei looked at Dong Qing who was standing behind him and dozing off, and said, "Dong Qing, escort the young master out of the palace."
"Yes." Dongqing quickly raised his head, looking like he had just fallen asleep.
Dong Qing sent Qu Fufeng away with trepidation.
Oh my God, the young master was actually brought back to life by someone else, and the queen even knew about it.
How could she know such a secret that could cost her her life?
Holly wanted to cry but had no tears.
There is no other way. When the queen meets a man from another family, even if he is her own brother, there must be palace maids guarding him.
The fact that Her Majesty allowed her to stay shows that Her Majesty values her and trusts her.
If you follow the Empress, you will surely have glory and wealth!
Holly kept finding reasons to convince herself in her heart.
…
After Qu Fufeng's matter was settled, Qu Zhiwei decided to listen to Shen Liuzheng and accelerate the demise of the Xie family.
Xie Ruizhu, this black sheep, can no longer be kept.
"Go, quietly spread this news to Changchun Palace, and make sure Xie Ruizhu knows this news."
"Yes." Dong Qing agreed and immediately ordered someone to do it.
That night, Xie Ruizhu learned that the Xie family was going to be exterminated.
She spat out blood again.
She lay weakly on the bed: "Help me up, I want to go out."
"Your Majesty, where are you going? The Emperor has said that you are under house arrest and are not allowed to leave. If you don't obey, I'm afraid you will lose your position as a concubine." Xuancao advised her anxiously.
"If the Xie family is all gone, what's the use of me being a concubine? How could the emperor be so cruel? How could he believe rumors and kill the entire Xie family?" Xie Ruizhu shed tears silently.
"Dad has devoted his entire life to Da Xia and helped the emperor ascend the throne. How could the emperor treat him and the Xie family like this?"
Xie Ruizhu's crying was heartbreaking.
"Help me up. I must see the Emperor."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will ask someone to investigate again tomorrow. Maybe the rumor is wrong." Hemerocallis cried anxiously.
"The emperor has put my father in jail, so how could he let them go so easily? This news has probably been kept secret for a long time. If we don't plead for mercy, the heads of the Xie family will probably fall to the ground." Xie Ruizhu believed the news without a doubt.
She was so sick that she felt a little dizzy. She forced herself to stay and let Xuancao help her to the palace gate.
"Thank you, Concubine. The emperor said that you are under house arrest." The young eunuch who came to guard the gate this time was very imposing and had no fear of her at all.
"I haven't stepped out of the door, so I haven't disobeyed the emperor's order." Xie Ruizhu frowned and knelt down on the spot.
The gates of Changchun Palace were wide open, and people coming and going could see her kneeling.
"I beg the Emperor to show mercy and give the Xie family a chance to live, instead of killing everyone in the family."
She kowtowed in the direction of the Taiji Palace where the emperor was.
"I beg the Emperor to show mercy and give the Xie family a chance to live, instead of killing everyone in the family."
Every time she repeated this sentence, she kowtowed.
"My queen, please get up quickly. You are weak and can't stand such torture." Xuancao cried and tried to pull her up.
"Get out! I won't get up. If the emperor doesn't see me, I will never get up in my life." Xie Ruizhu shook off her hand and continued to kowtow and beg for mercy.
When the second prince Lu Yan learned about this, he immediately ran over and tried to pull her up.
"Mother, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Don't be like this!" He cried and stamped his feet in anxiety.
It's raining. If mother doesn't get up, she will get wet.
"Yan'er, your mother wants to see your father. If she can't see him, she won't get up. The lives of your grandparents and uncles are all in your care." Xie Ruizhu reached out and stroked her son's face, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Bean-sized raindrops fell and mixed with her tears, blurring her eyes.
"I will go and ask my father for help now. I will definitely bring you here." Lu Yan went to find his father crying.
Someone told Lu Yanshi about this scene in Changchun Palace as soon as possible.
Lu Yanshi frowned slightly: "Is she threatening me?"
If the Xie family really colluded with the evil cult to bring chaos to the country, it would be considered merciful if he simply executed the entire family.
Cao Dehai didn't dare to answer his question.
Not long after, the eunuch outside came in and said, "The Second Prince wants to see you."
Lu Yanshi looked at the heavy rain outside, thought for a moment, and finally let his son in.
"Father, please go and see mother. I beg you." As soon as he came in, Lu Yan knelt down.
Seeing him crying loudly, Lu Yanshi had someone bring him ginger soup and clean clothes with a cold face.
"Don't mess around. Drink the ginger soup, change your clothes and go back to the palace. Don't get involved in the adults' affairs."
"No, if you don't go to see my mother, I won't change. I will kneel here until you are willing to see my mother." Lu Yan looked at him stubbornly.
"You, mother and son, seem to be cut from the same cloth." Lu Yanshi frowned, ordered someone to find an umbrella, and went to Changchun Palace.
Lu Yan was suddenly overjoyed and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Cao Dehai.
"Second Prince, please change into dry clothes first, so as not to get sick."
"Get out of here. It's not your turn to care about this prince." Lu Yan didn't want to listen to him at all.
He hated this damn eunuch so much. It was because of him that he targeted his mother and spoke ill of her in front of his father, which was why his mother had such a hard time.
He pushed Cao Dehai aside and caught up with Lu Yanshi.
Cao Dehai's expression changed slightly, but he said nothing. He just followed silently and gave a look to the eunuch holding the umbrella.
The young eunuch immediately understood and only covered half of Lu Yan's body when he held the umbrella.
Lu Yan looked up and glared at him, so he straightened his umbrella.
As soon as Lu Yan lowered his head, he tilted the umbrella slightly to let the rain fall on him.
"Are you looking for death?" Lu Yan was furious and kicked him.
"Ouch, Second Prince, please forgive me." The little eunuch fell to the ground, groaning.
Lu Yanshi in front stopped, turned his head and looked at Lu Yan, and said coldly: "I have already gone to see your mother, what are you making a fuss about?"
Lu Yan felt extremely aggrieved and pointed at the eunuch on the ground and said, "He didn't hold the umbrella properly and deliberately let me get wet in the rain."
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. How dare I treat the Second Prince like this?" The little eunuch cried.
Lu Yanshi glanced at Lu Yan. He was still wearing the same wet clothes as before. He couldn't tell whether the rain had come from before or now.
