Chapter 766 Let’s Go! (3rd update)
"Now!?"
Not only Si Kou Ji, but even Tuoba Yu was shocked.
"This is too sudden..."
"Yes!" Si Kou Ji came back to his senses and subconsciously frowned in objection, "Your Highness has only just recovered a little, how can he endure the fatigue of the journey? Even if you want to leave, you have to wait at least two more days..."
"I can't wait any longer!"
Shui Xingqiu's tone was extremely firm and unquestionable.
"If you don't leave now, it won't be that easy to leave later!"
Sikou Ji and Tuoba Yu looked at each other, really wondering how he suddenly became like this.
Shui Xingqiu didn't have the time nor the desire to explain to them.
After hearing Si Kou Ji's words, he had already guessed what had happened - Xiao Lanxi was exposed!
You never know when he will be involved!
Although he came with a fake identity this time, if those people really wanted to check, they would definitely be able to find out his real identity!
He looked at Si Kou Ji again and asked anxiously, "Besides this, is there anything else happening in the capital? How is Prince Jing's Mansion?"
Si Kou was completely confused, "This, this... I don't know..."
"never mind!"
It’s too late to ask these questions now. The most important thing is to leave the capital immediately!
Seeing Shui Xingqiu's resolute attitude, Tuoba Yu was the first to react.
He quickly made up his mind, "Okay! Let's go now!"
Si Kouji was too late to stop him, "Your Highness—"
"Listen to the teacher." Tuoba Yu said in a firm tone.
"This..." Si Kouji knew that he couldn't persuade them. Although he was puzzled, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to arrange it."
Fortunately, they had already prepared to leave, so there was not much to pack.
After a stick of incense, the group drove away in a carriage.
There was still water on the road, and the wheels flew over it, splashing water everywhere.
…
Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
Yun Cheng looked up in surprise, "Oh? They're gone?"
Xi Su leaned against the door and nodded lazily, "It's very urgent. It seems that this decision was made in a hurry. Calculating the time, they should be leaving the city soon."
Yun Cheng stroked his chin, thoughtfully, "It seems that person's injuries haven't recovered yet, right? If he leaves in such a hurry, I'm afraid he'll suffer again."
Xi Su crossed his arms and said, "Didn't the master give instructions before? If they want to leave, there's no need to stop them. Just let them go."
Yun Cheng smiled, "That's right. The rain has stopped, it's a good time to hit the road."
Xi Su turned around and was about to leave when he bumped into another person.
Yun Cheng was surprised to see the newcomer. "Su Mu, why are you here too?"
Normally these people are all separated and it is difficult to get together, but today they all met by chance.
Su Mu and Xi Su nodded, then walked back into the house and said concisely, "He said he wanted to go out for a walk."
"What?"
Yun Cheng was stunned for once.
That person naturally refers to Uncle Di who lives in the mansion and is usually taken care of by Su Mu and others.
I was fine normally, why did I suddenly...
"He's going out?"
"Yes." Su Mu nodded. "Didn't Miss Ye Er send a new wheelchair the day before yesterday? And a pair of..." He narrowed his eyes. "I think it was something like... a prosthetic limb?"
Uncle Di seemed quite touched after receiving the things, and today he even took the initiative to ask to go out and take a look.
Of course, I have to ask my master for his opinion on this matter.
Now that his master was not at home, he told Yun Chengcheng.
"Is that so..." Yun Cheng thought for a moment, "Okay, I understand. I'll talk to you when the master comes back."
He glanced outside.
"After the heavy rain, tomorrow will probably be sunny. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss the spring scenery now?"
…
Qiyuan Hall.
More and more blood flowed out of Xiao Lanxi's mouth and nose, looking extremely creepy.
As her breath grew weaker, Emperor Mu Wu became more and more annoyed.
"Why hasn't anyone arrived yet?"
Eunuch Li stepped forward cautiously and whispered, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The people have been sent out, but it will take some time..."
Eunuch Li was also feeling miserable.
Even if Si Kouji and his group came, I'm afraid they might not be able to solve Xiao Lanxi's problem.
Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing then?
"Should we ask the imperial physician to come?"
As soon as he made this suggestion, he saw Emperor Mu Wu glance at Fan Chengzhuo with an even colder expression.
"If they had this ability, I wouldn't have to be in such trouble today!"
Eunuch Li was sweating profusely and closed his mouth in fear.
——The current situation is really chaotic!
His Majesty was even more confused and unpredictable, and even he couldn't figure it out at all...
Emperor Mu Wu looked coldly at Xiao Lanxi who was kneeling on the ground.
"I'm going to ask you one last time, was it you who deliberately set up the trap that day and faked your own death to escape?!"
There was suppressed anger in his voice.
Although it was a question, he actually already had the answer in his heart.
——Xiao Lanxi clearly played a trick on everyone, including him!
As an emperor, how could Emperor Mu Wu tolerate such fraud?
However, Xiao Lanxi could no longer answer his question at this time.
Severe pain came from every inch of skin and every bone in my body, and it was piercingly itchy.
She began to scratch herself.
The sharp nails quickly scratched the skin, revealing streaks of blood.
Instead of stopping, she became more aggressive and even started scratching her face.
Ye Chutang's brows furrowed slightly.
"The poison has already penetrated her entire body. I'm afraid..."
Emperor Mu Wu was extremely angry.
"Such a method is truly sinister and vicious!"
Xiao Lanxi's cheek was instantly scratched with a bloody streak.
But she no longer cared about that.
Her eyes were still fixed on the front. She tried her best to suppress the pain and itchiness in her body while struggling to crawl forward.
The blood-stained nails scraped against the ground, making a harsh sound.
Because of the force, one of the little finger nails was even completely turned over, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Xiao Lanxi seemed unaware of anything, with her eyes wide open, rushing forward madly.
——I’m just a little bit closer to getting her beads back…
"Your Majesty, I think we should send her to a side hall as soon as possible and find someone to look after her," Xiao Chenglin suddenly said, "otherwise, leaving her here forever would be bad."
As for why it was bad, he didn't say, and there was no need to say.
Everyone present knew the truth.
——If Xiao Lanxi died in Qiyuan Hall, it would be a loss of face for Emperor Muwu.
Emperor Mu Wu frowned as he looked at the dirty bloodstains on the ground and the already crazy Xiao Lanxi.
"Someone come—"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a guard came forward and held Xiao Lanxi's shoulders!
Bang--!
Xiao Lanxi's head hit the ground, her shoulder went numb, and her outstretched hand fell down dejectedly.
She stared at the bead in front of her, which was only inches away, and began to struggle and sob frantically.
"Let go - it's - it's me - I -"
Xiao Lanxi stared at the bead with her eyes wide open, tears streaming down her face silently.
"Ah—ho—"
Her breathing was rapid, and each word sounded like the harsh sound of a broken bellows being pulled, the syllables blurred and difficult to distinguish.
All the strength seemed to be completely dissipated at this moment, and there was no way to break free and escape!
At this moment, a pale hand picked up the bracelet.
Xiao Lanxi looked up stiffly.
Ye Chutang leaned over slightly and placed the bead in her palm.
Slightly cool to the touch.
Just like the long days and nights of the past years, the most familiar feeling.
“Ah…ho ho…ah…”
Xiao Lanxi held the turquoise bead tightly, closed her eyes gently, and tears fell.
The uncontrollable crying of grievance and collapse finally echoed quietly throughout the hall.
“…Ah…Ah…!”
