Chapter 241 I want to see if Wu'er will come to save you
Yun Qingshi showed no expression after hearing this. He let out a light breath and stepped into Chongqing Hall.
Eunuch Liu also followed him into the palace.
It was already getting dark, and the dim light shone through the open windows onto the ground, making the palace look even more luxurious, but also revealing a bit of eerie and terrifying feeling.
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but think that this palace, which was so cruel that it could only eat people without leaving any bones, must have buried countless souls.
Walking past the flat golden bricks, Yun Qingshi could vaguely see the emperor leaning on the throne from a distance through a bright yellow curtain, and at the same time he could smell a strong smell of medicine.
As they got closer, the smell of medicine became stronger and stronger, followed by the emperor's continuous coughing.
“Cough cough… cough cough…”
When they were less than two meters away from the gauze curtain, Yun Qingshi stopped and knelt politely, "Your humble servant pays respects to the emperor."
Of course, he was unwilling to kneel before the dog emperor, but being there, he had no choice but to follow the rules of this place.
After all, if he could live, he didn't want to die, especially since he still had Xiao Jiwu, so he couldn't afford to die...
Eunuch Liu also stopped and spoke, "Your Majesty, Ying Eleven has arrived."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingan, who was leaning on the throne behind the gauze curtain, slowly moved his fingers.
Eunuch Liu immediately understood what the emperor meant and quickly stepped forward to tie up the curtain.
The hall instantly became bright. The emperor lowered his head and coughed twice, his gaze then falling on Yun Qingshi: "Are you, Ying Shiyi, the guard beside Wu'er?"
Yun Qingshi had been keeping his head down quietly since he knelt down. When he heard the emperor's question, he just lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling'an's gaze slowly swept over Yun Qing, and there was obviously a hint of inquiry in his slightly tired eyes.
After a moment, he spoke again: "Lift your head, ahem, let me see what you look like. I heard that Wu'er is deeply in love with you, ahem... I never thought that someone with Wu'er's temperament would actually fall in love one day."
Yun Qingshi frowned when he heard this.
What a temperament Xiao Jiwu has.
What kind of character does Xiao Jiwu have? Xiao Jiwu is obviously a man who values friendship and loyalty. Even if he is a little cold-blooded, it is the emperor's cold-bloodedness that has turned him into that. What qualifications does the emperor have to judge him like this?
Being a father is really terrible!
But even though he felt even more disgusted, Yun Qingshi had no choice but to slowly raise his head.
He then whispered, "In reply to the emperor, I am only a guard, and the relationship between me and the prince is only that of master and servant."
The emperor drank the ginseng soup served by the palace maids. After hearing this, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he slowly opened his mouth: "You don't want to admit it. You seduced the prince of the dynasty and disregarded the royal etiquette. Do you know what kind of end you will end up with?"
"Ahem, even slow slicing to death wouldn't be too much."
"So what if you don't admit it? I want to see if Wu'er will come to save you. If he comes, it will prove that you are deceiving the emperor. If he doesn't come, executing you will also clear his name."
Yun Qingshi: ...
That being said, he is going to die anyway.
The emperor continued to speak to himself: "I also want to see with my own eyes whether your relationship is as strong as gold. In times of danger, will he still protect you? I'm afraid he is just vulnerable... cough cough..."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi really didn't expect that the Dog Emperor had this in mind. He didn't intend to give him a cup of poisoned wine and be done with it. Instead, he maliciously wanted to alienate them and prove that the relationship between him and Xiao Jiwu was too fragile and could not withstand the blow at all.
What the emperor wanted to see was their feelings falling apart in the face of danger, or even hurting each other, so that he could feel proud and think that he was right.
It's really disgusting.
Unfortunately, the emperor was disappointed in the end.
Some people, when they have never had beautiful things, are eager to prove that those beautiful things do not exist, or even destroy them.
Hypocritical and vicious.
Yun Qingshi was too lazy to say another word, and just knelt on the cold ground in silence.
How could he not know about the relationship between him and Xiao Jiwu?
Xiao Jiwu would definitely come, he was absolutely certain of that...
The emperor seemed to have proved that there was no true love stronger than gold in this world, and also proved that Xiao Jiwu was a cold-blooded and selfish person. His spirits suddenly seemed to be much better.
After a while, he instructed Eunuch Liu, "Liu Kanghe, take him away first. Be sure to send someone to keep an eye on him. Don't let him get away."
Liu Kanghe heard the voice and responded hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will be watching over it myself. There will be no mistakes."
Xiao Lingan continued to give orders: "If Prince Yi enters the palace, report immediately."
Liu Kanghe: "Yes."
Xiao Lingan then waved his hand in relief, "Go down."
Liu Kanghe responded again: "Yes."
Liu Kanghe then walked up to Yun Qingshi and said sharply, "Ying Shiyi, why don't you thank us and leave with us?"
Yun Qingshi no longer wanted to kneel. As soon as he heard Liu Kanghe's voice, he stood up and walked outside, with no intention of leaving at all.
What the emperor meant was that he was going to die anyway, so why should he resign? He also realized that the emperor would not kill him before Xiao Jiwu entered the palace.
And who knows, there might be a turning point in this matter.
Xiao Jiwu's hard work in the past few months will not be in vain. As long as Xiao Jiwu is there, he will feel much more at ease.
Seeing this, Liu Kanghe also hurriedly followed and walked out.
After a while, Yun Qingshi was taken to a small side room.
The room was simply furnished with tables and chairs. Seeing this, Yun Qingshi walked over and sat down on the stool without any hesitation.
After Liu Kanghe gave instructions to the guards outside, he followed him into the house, closed the door and walked to Yun Qingshi's side.
Yun Qingshi just looked at Liu Kanghe calmly, with a hint of questioning in his eyes.
He wanted to see what Liu Kang was trying to do by closing the door!
Although his sword was taken away when he entered the palace, his fists and feet were no pushovers.
There were only two of them left in the room. Liu Kanghe breathed a sigh of relief and then prepared to pick up the teapot and pour water for Yun Qingshi.
Yun Qingshi was unaware of Liu Kanghe's plan. The moment Liu Kanghe made a move, Yun Qingshi quickly placed a piece of broken porcelain on Liu Kanghe's skinny neck and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"
Liu Kanghe was caught off guard and startled. He froze in place, but did not make any loud noise. After regaining his composure, he spoke hurriedly, lowering his voice: "Sir, please don't. I am the servant of His Highness Prince Yi."
Yun Qingshi:???
He must have been lied to, how is that possible?
He still remembered that during the hunting trip, the dog emperor sent Liu Kanghe to convey the order for Xiao Jiwu to go to the Huguo Temple!
Therefore, Yun Qingshi did not rashly believe Liu Kanghe's words, but continued to stare at Liu Kanghe with cold eyes.
Liu Kanghe was also a little frightened by the stare, and hurriedly whispered to explain: "What I said is true. I have no reason to lie to you. I have long since abandoned the dark side and joined the light side. My Lord, please trust me. I went to the palace just now because I was forced by the situation."
Yun Qingshi frowned when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he actually thought of some clues.
It seems that after Liu Kanghe took charge of searching the palace, he also gave the deputy commander some advice.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi slowly took away the porcelain piece.
But he still didn't trust him that much. He said he was abandoning the dark and joining the light, but he was just a fence-sitter. He couldn't trust such a person at all.
It was only because he saw that the emperor's health was not as good as before that he bet on Xiao Jiwu.
Liu Kanghe was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat after nearly losing his life. However, he continued to pick up the teapot and poured tea for Yun Qingshi. He then said, "Drink your tea, my lord. Don't worry too much. Prince Yi has many secret agents in the palace. If the need arises, they will protect you no matter what. And the prince will definitely come as soon as he receives the news."
Yun Qingshi did not say anything when he heard the voice, nor did he drink Liu Kanghe's water. He just slowly closed his eyes and silently waited for Xiao Jiwu's arrival.
At dusk, it got dark very quickly. In less than half an hour, it was completely dark...
