Chapter 379 The Emperor Wakes Up!
Xie Jingmo saw through King Liang's thoughts at a glance.
What he wanted to say was—
My bargaining chips are not material, nor are they about status.
Is a person.
It’s Yun Zhao.
However, Xie Jingmo didn't say anything, not because he was afraid of anything.
He never fears anyone.
He just felt that, in essence, King Liang and Mu Chengyan were the same kind of people.
They will never put their life and property into the hands of others, so it is useless to say anything.
King Liang sat back in his seat, and Xie Jingmo sat opposite him and looked at him coldly.
The one called Xiaoliu disappeared.
Xie Jingmo asked Deputy General Gao to find someone.
Deputy General Gao nodded and ordered his men to search around the little emperor's bedroom.
And at this moment.
In Yun Zhao's room.
Xiaoliu looked at Yun Zhao reluctantly with a dark face.
"Do you know that Master once said that we shouldn't do this unless it's absolutely necessary?"
Yun Zhao nodded.
"Master also said that in this world, everyone has only one life, and no one's life is more important than their own."
Yun Zhao nodded again.
"Since you know everything, why are you still doing this? What the little emperor has is destined to be with him. Even if you do this, he still won't live long. Do you think it's worth it?"
Xiaoliu was furious. He sat on the chair and drank a sip of water.
Yun Zhao smiled softly and poured him some water.
Xiaoliu now drank the water poured by the Queen Mother, but he was not happy at all.
He looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Tell me, what exactly are you going to do?!"
Yun Zhao also sat down. Her lips were not as red as before in the night. She said softly, "I used to think I was very capable and could do a lot, but after taking this position, I can do less and less."
"Deputy General Gao's wife, Deputy General Lin, the families of the imperial physicians outside, and... Xie Jingmo's hand."
"You don't know how arrogant Xie Jingmo used to be. He was so proud and self-indulgent, as if the whole world was at his feet. He said he started learning martial arts when he was very young. Now, he finds it difficult to take out that precious sword."
"During this journey, I watched one thing after another and felt helpless."
"After all, it was me who brought this upon Mu Chengyan. No matter when this matter is brought up, I will take full responsibility."
Yun Zhao said calmly, "So, Xiaoliu, you will help Senior Sister, right?"
Xiao Liu rolled his eyes. "After all, it's all about getting a bigger share for Xie Jingmo, right?"
"You want to support him and give the little emperor some time to focus on his hand's recovery, right?"
"Mu Chengyan said you value power, but in reality, you value nothing. You don't even care about yourself!"
Yun Zhao chuckled. "Not really. Didn't I ask you to help me? With you here, I won't die, right?"
"Haha!" Xiaoliu was furious. "That's hard to say!"
Yun Zhao stretched out his wrist and took out a cold knife from behind his back. "Let's get started. Don't let anyone get suspicious later."
Xiaoliu rolled his eyes.
Time passes by every second.
Xie Jingmo sat opposite King Liang, and for some reason, he felt very uneasy.
Deputy General Gao and his men have never found the man named Xiaoliu.
He slowly stood up, turned around and looked around, found someone, and said, "Look at King Liang."
After saying that, he looked around.
Deputy General Gao was bewildered. "He was clearly standing here before, how could he suddenly disappear? This is really strange."
Xie Jingmo said, "Have you asked the brother at the door?"
Deputy General Gao nodded, "They said that the one called Xiaoliu didn't go out."
Deputy General Gao then asked, "Should we mobilize everyone to go look for them?"
Xie Jingmo nodded and went back into the emperor's palace. He looked around.
suddenly.
He paused.
His eyes fell on a corner of the emperor's bedroom.
Deputy General Gao said, "Yun Zhao is resting inside. I just asked Qi Cai, who was standing guard at the door, and she said the Queen Mother is resting and there's no movement inside."
Xie Jingmo walked over slowly with a stern face.
Qicai whispered to Xie Jingmo, "General, the Queen Mother has gone to bed."
Xie Jingmo asked, "Is anyone going in?"
Qicai shook his head, "No, I didn't leave the door even half a step, no one went in."
Xie Jingmo stood at the door and asked softly, "Yun Zhao, have you rested?"
There was no response from inside.
Xie Jingmo slightly opened the door, and the quilt on the bed bulged. Qicai also took a look, and then whispered: "It's already asleep. The Queen Mother hasn't been sleeping well recently. It's been a long time since she had a good night's sleep."
Xie Jingmo nodded and gently closed the door.
Xie Jingmo went somewhere else.
Qicai at the door breathed a sigh of relief.
It's so scary.
Xie Jingmo walked out, and King Liang's gaze followed him out, "What? Haven't you found it yet?"
Xie Jingmo's face was very gloomy.
People were walking around quickly and torches were swaying everywhere.
The rustling of footsteps covered up many other sounds.
Xie Jingmo suddenly reacted and walked back without looking back.
Even Deputy General Gao didn't call out to him from behind.
Qicai looked at Xie Jingmo who had returned and was shocked, "General Xie, what's going on—"
Before he could finish the word, Xie Jingmo had already pushed open Yun Zhao's door.
Yun Zhao slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xie Jingmo, "Why are you here?"
Xie Jingmo frowned and glanced around, "Have you been sleeping here all the time?"
Yun Zhao nodded, "Yes." She sat up and rubbed her eyes, "What's wrong?"
Xie Jingmo frowned, "Nothing, why are you wearing outer clothes to sleep?"
Yun Zhao glanced down and said, "I'm so tired. Is everything okay outside?"
Xie Jingmo was just about to say it was okay.
Then someone outside shouted, "The emperor is awake!"
This sound shocked everyone!
Xie Jingmo widened his eyes.
Then, outside, there were shouts one after another, "The emperor has woken up!"
"The Emperor is awake!"
Yun Zhao lifted the quilt and said to Xie Jingmo, "Have you arranged all the people I asked you to arrange?"
Xie Jingmo nodded.
Yun Zhao was afraid that if the little emperor woke up, Prince Liang would become so angry that he would go all out to kill the emperor.
Therefore, a hundred generals were arranged in the military camp around the area in advance. At the same time, all the ministers in the court were invited into the palace and placed in the side hall.
Now that they heard the sound, they all came over.
Even if the King of Liang wanted to rebel, he would not dare to act too aggressively due to the disparity in military strength and the presence of his ministers.
Fu Hai rushed in with joy and said to Yun Zhao, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor has woken up!"
Yun Zhao smiled lightly, "I understand."
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao's pale face and frowned, "I see that your health has been getting worse recently. Your face is as white as paper."
Yun Zhao was indeed feeling a little dizzy. She said, "Since everything is fine here, let Fu Hai help me go back."
Xie Jingmo couldn't leave at this time because he had to guard against King Liang's troops. Yun Zhao asked Fu Hai to support him and go back.
Yun Zhao walked back step by step.
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a smile.
The top three candidates in the Spring Examination have been announced to the world. Xie Jingmo has made great contributions in guarding tonight, winning the hearts of the people and gaining talent.
It only takes a little time.
It will take some time——
Yun Zhao took a step slowly, and suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.
