Yue Nanchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had long been aware of the sinister intentions of Mi Zun and Mi Hou, but now he was poisoned and was like a piece of meat on the chopping board. He had no strength to resist!
But why did that person help him? Staring coldly at Xiangze's little face, she thought that it was fortunate that she brought Nanyu home in time last night, otherwise she would have died in Mi Zun's hands last night!
"Why are you helping me?" Yue Nanchen asked coldly, it was more like a question than an inquiry. However, it was not his fault. He had always been high and mighty and had never received an even a drop of help from others, except for the favor of Dong Qing'er who gave him a piece of clothing back then. He owed Xiang Ze a favor this time because he was in trouble.
Unexpectedly, Xiangze was not afraid of his unfriendly tone at all. On the contrary, she looked a little shy and bit her lips tightly, as if she wanted to say something.
Accustomed to seeing this kind of expression on women's faces, Yue Nanchen turned away coldly, "Okay, I get it, but I don't like you!"
Look, what a cocky man! He's about to die, yet he still says these words to a weak girl who wants to save him!
Xiangze was stunned, and seemed a little hurt. Tears welled up in her big, beautiful brown eyes, but she gritted her teeth and held them back. She spoke softly,
"I know you have a favorite girl. She was the one who rested her head on your lap and listened to you playing the music that night, right? Did you break into the Queen's bedroom just for her? Is she really that important to you?"
Yue Nanchen closed his eyes tightly. He really had no hobby of telling others about his feelings. Even if he was going to die, he chose to keep this feeling deep in his heart.
"When I see King Yongning, please bring me a
If anything happens to me, tell him to go back and tell the emperor to be prepared. Once I die, Mi Zun will definitely attack Nanyue!"
Xiangze sniffed, and although his voice was small, it carried a firmness that could not be ignored, "You will not die, I will never let you die!"
Turning his head away, not bothering to pay attention to her, Yue Nanchen's face was as cold as ice. Not only did he not show any gratitude, he also ordered her to leave. "You have done me a great favor by helping me pass the message. Nanyue will pay you accordingly! Princess, please do as you please!"
At least no matter what happens in the future, Xiangze will never die at the hands of Nanyue people!
"I'm not short of money, and I didn't save you for money!" Xiangze stood up calmly and looked at him deeply. "Wait for me, I will bring you the antidote!"
Yue Nanchen did not explain, he knew that she was not short of money. She was completely different from Yao'er. However, although Yao'er seemed to love money the most, she actually had a passionate heart. It was just that she was just like him, with a cold heart for too long, and she rejected the warmth of others!
Xiangze left and the cell door was closed. Because of Xiangze's words, the guards no longer made things too difficult for him. At least the food and water he was given were clean, instead of watching his face and urinating in his food, leaving him hungry.
In front of Queen Mi's bedroom, Yue Nanyu paced back and forth anxiously. He had already sent someone to notify Yue Nanxuan, but the fastest journey from Miluo Kingdom to Nanyue would take at least three days. He really didn't know whether Nan Chen's injuries could last for three days.
Mi Zun locked the man up and didn't even tell him where he was. He couldn't even meet him to confirm Nan Chen's safety!
When the imperial physician came out of Empress Mi's palace, Yue Nanyu immediately greeted him.
Go up, "How is it? Is Queen Mi awake?"
The imperial physician quickly shook his head, made an excuse that he needed to prescribe medicine for the queen, and quickly broke free and left.
"Not awake yet? What kind of injury did Queen Mi suffer? Why is she unconscious?" Yue Nanyu shouted angrily. And that little eunuch, he asked him to report that he wanted to see Emperor Mi, and it would take two hours. Isn't this just a trick on him!
"Emperor Mi, Queen Mi, after this matter is over, just wait, we Nanyue will never give up!" Yue Nanyu said coldly, and his usually playful expression seemed a little gloomy.
"Yuen Nanyu!" Xiangze waved from a distance, motioning him to come over.
Yue Nanyu strode up to Xiangze with a cold face. Although Xiangze was different from other people in Miro Kingdom, Yue Nanyu still hated him for being different from the others.
"I just went to see King Yongnan. His poison is very serious. We must get the antidote within three days, otherwise..." Xiangze whispered with red eyes.
Yue Nanyu was shocked. "Three days? Such a short time? What should we do? If Emperor Mi refuses to give us the antidote, we only have a few hundred people..."
Xiangze stretched out her jade-white little hand and grabbed his arm to calm him down.
"Listen to me, I'm going to steal the antidote from the Queen's bedroom right now, and you'll meet me outside. Once we get the antidote, we'll go and rescue Prince Yongnan. Let's save Prince Yongnan's life first!"
"Are you...really willing to help us?" Yue Nanyu was delighted and held her little hand with his backhand.
Xiangze was startled and quickly pulled his hand out, whispering, "I'm not helping you, I'm helping King Yongnan. He...he also saved me before!" After Xiangze finished speaking, he walked straight to
Yao Palace and left.
"Saved her? When? Why haven't I heard my eighth brother mention it?" Yue Nanyu asked doubtfully. But no matter what, Xiangze was right. Let's save our eighth brother's life first!
In the Yao Palace, Mi Zun sat at the top, with the table in front of him filled with all kinds of delicacies and fine wines. Liu Yirou, dressed in green gauze, danced slowly to the music of the musicians, her eyes charming and her expression calm, looking so happy!
"Okay, okay, Yirou, let's stop here today. You are in good health, don't get tired. The Yuyi Tune is almost complete, so there's no rush!" Mi Zun picked up the jade cup, drank the wine, then clapped his hands and cheered loudly.
"Your Majesty, the Guqin is broken, and Yirou can't help you train the assassins. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll practice this Feather Dance. When your Majesty celebrates his fiftieth birthday, Yirou will dance for you herself. Wouldn't that be beautiful?"
Liu Yirou smiled delicately, her body softened, and she fell lightly in Mi Zun's arms.
Mi Zun nodded and laughed. When he thought that after three days, Nanyue would lose a general, but the Kingdom of Miro would walk out of the canyon and expand its territory inland, his heart was excited and he felt like he was back in his youth.
"Your Majesty, Empress, we caught the princess breaking into the Empress's alchemy room!" Just as they were feeling happy, they saw the guards guarding the Yao Palace's alchemy room waiting outside the hall with the struggling Xiangze.
Mi Zun's eyes darkened, and he instantly transformed from a gentle man into a majestic emperor. He sat coldly on the throne and shouted in a cold voice, "Bring her up!"
Xiangze was brought up with an awkward look on his face.
It was all because of her poor martial arts skills that she was caught by the secret guards as soon as she appeared.
It turns out that this woman has trained so many secret guards, and even my father doesn't know about it. What on earth is she trying to do?
Liu Yirou sat aside, concentrating on studying her dance score, as if she didn't see Xiangze.
This is the most cunning side of Liu Yirou. She always shows her softest side to the man who loves her and never plays any tricks or plays dirty tricks in front of him. This is also the reason why Mi Zun loves her more and more.
"Xiangze, you are getting more and more daring. You even dare to go to the Queen's alchemy room. What on earth do you want to do?"
Mi Zun said coldly, his eyes full of displeasure. Liu Yirou didn't say anything, so he had to be fair, otherwise she would think he was still obsessed with Ji Xiang!
"Since the Queen is fine, why can't the antidote be given to Prince Yongnan?" Xiangze said loudly in dissatisfaction and glared at Liu Yirou coldly, but she had no way to do anything with Liu Yirou.
Liu Yirou never confronted her head-on, which made it difficult for her to find any handle on her. No wonder her mother said that Liu Yirou was very anxious!
"Xiangze, I think I have spoiled you too much. How dare you talk to your father like this! Leng San, send the princess to Concubine Xiang's bedroom and lock her up. Let the Concubine discipline her daughter!"
Xiangze was shocked when she heard this. Did the emperor mean to confine her as well? What about Yue Nanchen? Xiangze wanted to struggle, but Leng San and his guards took her away!
Liu Yirou smiled faintly. She knew that this willful girl would get into trouble one day, and she didn't need to do anything at all! If it weren't for the fact that A Luo loved her very much and grew up with her, she would have let this girl have a good time long ago!
