But the ministers of the Southern Dynasty are now relieved that there is still an empress to keep him in check.
They no longer care where the Empress is from or what her status is.
As long as we can persuade the emperor, that's fine; otherwise, things will really get out of control.
No matter how much the Wu tribe members shouted, it was no use; they were still taken away.
Even if they used voodoo, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of opponents; the sheer number of people they faced eventually wore them down.
They never expected that the Southern Emperor would act so unpredictably.
This is terrible. I failed to kill them and ended up being taken hostage. Will this make me a liability to them?
But if that moment truly comes, he will never allow them to become a burden or a liability, no matter what.
Wei Wangqing, on the other hand, was asking about what happened that day.
"So the Empress refused at the time?"
"Yes, but Yu Liu asked me to tell the Queen a message before she saw him."
"What did you say?"
"The Southern Dynasty had long since allied with the Wu tribe to resist the Northern Dynasty."
Wei Wangqing frowned. How could that be?
How could Nan Xiangyue possibly stand by and watch Nan Lin attack her country—no, the country where her mother and brother lived?
Moreover, even if Nanfeng and Nanxiangrong are not in the Great Wei, the Great Wei is still the country that once protected her.
Wei Wangqing didn't believe she would do such a thing.
But Ah Yan doesn't know!
She will absolutely not let Yu Liu get away with this!
"And then what?"
"Later, the Queen summoned him in, but Yu Liu said that with other people present, it was impossible to discuss such a private matter, so the Queen dismissed us."
"Later, after Yu Liu left, the Empress became a bit strange. First, she ordered someone to bring a dagger, then she dismissed everyone, saying that no one should be left in Fengwu Palace. Only then did she order a servant to call His Majesty over."
Wei Wangqing understood everything upon hearing this: Yu Liu had controlled Ayan to kill her.
Ha! This witch clan is really quite capable.
Don't fall into her hands, otherwise...
"Your Majesty, we have found the people of the Witch Clan. They are hiding in a farmhouse."
Wei Wangqing was overjoyed: "Great! Send more men, we must take them down."
"yes."
Li Nuo was also furious with those who had harmed His Majesty, and upon receiving the order, he immediately mobilized his troops with great enthusiasm.
When the Fourth Elder and his group were discovered, they were hiding in that family's house.
When the soldiers went in to investigate, the head of the household stopped them from entering, saying that it was a small household and there was nothing to check, as they were all family members.
At this critical juncture, with the Empress having given the order, how could they possibly obey?
He simply barged in.
They spotted the group immediately.
In an instant, they were at war.
Someone hurried back to report and gather manpower.
Their job was to stop this group of people.
I don't try to hold on, I just drag it out.
The Fourth Elder and the others were extremely anxious. They had already applied the poison, but as soon as one person collapsed, others rushed up behind them.
Here, witchcraft is ineffective, and controlling a person is useless, as these people all act on the Queen's orders.
In the end, this group of people were arrested.
And indeed, the people in that household were all under their control.
The guards also took them back to the palace.
Wei Wangqing looked at the bound, dazed people, and realized that their situation was somewhat different from Ayan's.
Ayan eventually regained consciousness, but remained unconscious.
But these people, it seems, are still under control.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be tied up.
"Does the imperial physician have any solution?" Wei Wangqing still held a sliver of hope.
"No."
Wei Wangqing started missing Wu Changming again.
However, the one who tied the knot must untie it.
She still has to go to the dungeon.
But getting those people to talk will probably be very difficult.
Wei Wangqing entered the dungeon. There were guards outside, but no one was inside.
I'm afraid that if I have too much contact with the Wu tribe, I'll be controlled by them again.
Therefore, there is no contact except when food is delivered and passed into the small compartment.
Wei Wangqing naturally didn't come alone. It was better to take precautions when interacting with this group of people.
Wei Wangqing ultimately decided to go see the Fourth Elder first.
After all, he probably knows the most.
The Fourth Elder seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing the footsteps. "Isn't it not lunchtime yet? Aren't you a little early today?"
Wei Wangqing could barely contain her anger; her Ayan was still unconscious, her fate unknown.
Isn't this group being treated a bit too well?
"From now on, we'll eat one meal every two days. As long as we don't starve, that's fine," Wei Wangqing said to the people behind him.
"yes."
This is not the same era as before, Wei Wangqing knew that long ago.
This is an era where someone could take your life at any moment. Showing mercy to others is giving them the opportunity to harm you.
The Fourth Elder immediately realized that the person who came was not a jailer at all.
"You've arrived?" the Fourth Elder said with a smile.
It felt as comfortable as if I were in my own backyard.
Seeing this, Wei Wangqing suppressed her anger; she couldn't afford to lose first.
"It seems the Fourth Elder is quite enjoying his life as a prisoner," Wei Wangqing remarked sarcastically.
The Fourth Elder also felt this was a disgrace to him and to the Witch Clan.
He sneered, "Thanks to the Northern Emperor."
If the person casting the spell hadn't been forbidden from being too far from the person being cast it on, how could they have been arrested!
"However, your young master is probably not having an easy time right now."
Wei Wangqing felt a chill in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.
