Chapter 30
When Mu Tou saw Zhou Erlan being carried out, he hurried over to catch him.
Zhou Erlan was awakened by Chang Xi's rough action. She grabbed Mu Tou's arm and shook her head. Why was her mouth full of the smell of blood?
"Your Highness, this is the Emperor's decree of abdication. Take this decree and return to the capital to become the Emperor."
After Chang Xi finished speaking, he handed the imperial edict to Zhou Erlan.
The emperor originally planned to give this to Zhou Erlan three months later, but the emperor is in a coma, so it’s okay to give it to him now!
"What? Why is Chang Xi doing this?" Zhou Erlan asked in confusion, took a look at the imperial edict, and threw it to Chang Xi.
"I won't hide it from you. The Emperor won't live long. Six years ago, the Emperor blocked a sword for you. That sword was laced with the Mysterious Cold Poison. You know what the Mysterious Cold Poison is, right? Fortunately, the Emperor survived. He was originally said to not live past twenty-five, and he blocked another sword for you before. He couldn't live more than three months. I just detoxified you. How long the Emperor can live depends on God's will."
As Chang Xi spoke, he saw Zhou Erlan's body limp on the ground. He sighed and said, "Originally, the emperor asked me to keep these things secret. I just didn't want you to think that the emperor was lying to you or hurting you, so I said it. I just hope that you will remember that besides the late emperor and empress, the one who loves you the most in this world is my princess."
"The princess has taken the responsibility for all the mistakes you made before. From now on, I hope Your Highness will think twice before acting. From now on, the burden of the Great Zhou will be borne by you alone."
"I want to see my royal sister!" Zhou Erlan said as he got up from the ground.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. The princess is unconscious right now, and there are a lot of things outside that need your attention."
Chang Xi stopped the impulsive Zhou Erlan and handed him the imperial edict. He then walked into the house and closed the door. He had been too bold just now. When the emperor recovered, he would definitely give him a lecture. He really hoped that the emperor would scold him.
Zhou Erlan collapsed to the ground, hammering her hands on the ground. She couldn't help but burst into tears, clutching the imperial edict and trembling all over.
Chang Xi leaned against the door, listening to the noise outside. After about a quarter of an hour, there was no noise. Chang Xi pushed the door open a crack and took a look.
Zhou Erlan stood up and bowed towards the door holding the imperial edict.
"The imperial sister has protected the Sixth Zhou Dynasty for six years. From today on, I will take over. I also hope that Jueming and Changxi can do their best to treat the imperial sister. If there is anything missing, just send someone to tell me. I will go to handle government affairs now..." Zhou Erlan said, his eyes a little dim.
The imperial sister must get better, and he will protect the imperial sister and the Great Zhou from now on!
The moment Zhou Erlan left, Mu Tou felt something had changed in him. A few days later, Mu Tou realized that the prince had grown up.
Five days later.
"Your Highness, when will we return to Beijing?" Lu Di asked Zhou Erlan.
Zhou Erlan put away his private seal, looked at the map, and said with a proper smile: "We will set off tomorrow."
"Yes," Lu Di replied, and then helped clear the table. The Emperor had already ceded the throne to the Prince. It seemed Prince Lan had been handling things quite well these days, lacking some of the Emperor's ruthlessness and showing more gentleness.
Zhou Erlan sat there, glancing outside. She wondered where her sister had gone, and whether she could be cured...
Yes, as early as five days ago, Chang Xi and Jueming quietly took Zhou Xuanqing and Tang Mitang away. At the same time, the shadow guards of Xuanzi also left, and the others were left to Zhou Erlan.
Shu, Xianlu Valley.
"Bang!"
Black smoke was coming out of the thatched hut.
A black figure ran out quickly.
"Cough cough cough..." Tang Midang coughed speechlessly, and had deep doubts about her own abilities.
Meow! Can't even extract her?
Chang Xi and Jueming sat at the stone table, eating melon seeds and looking at Tang Mitang as if nothing had happened.
"Prince Lan has returned to the capital, but he did not become emperor. He simply issued an imperial edict stating that he would temporarily serve as the regent." Chang Xi sighed after he finished speaking.
Everything has changed. Prince Lan is no longer obsessed with the throne and is still waiting for the princess.
Jueming spat out the melon seed shells and snorted disdainfully, "He has a conscience. But why doesn't he build a princess's mansion for Zhou Xuanqing?"
"It has been built. It's in the center of the imperial city. His Prince Lan's Mansion is being renovated." Chang Xi said nonchalantly, but felt a little sad when he thought of the person lying in the house.
"Oh, governing the country is no simple matter~" Jueming said, looking at Tang Mitang who rushed in again, tilting his head to look at Chang Xi and said, "Why is this Tang girl so anxious?"
"Oh, your ideal in life has changed. Before, you just wanted to eat and drink for free, but now you want to eat and drink with the emperor." Chang Xi said casually. He thought Tang Mitang's ideal was okay. At least he had a goal.
Tang Mitang, who has ideals and goals, looked at the simple small boiler in front of him, carefully put the herbs in, and covered the lid.
Will it be better if it seals faster this time?
Tang Mitang glanced at the hourglass, then at the pot, waiting cautiously and expectantly, while habitually shielding her face.
She had never been so serious when studying medicine before.
Looking at a drop of green liquid dripping out of the small stone tube on the side of the pot, Tang Mitang blinked and covered his mouth in disbelief.
"Bang!"
The familiar voice sounded again. Tang Mitang was choked by the smoke and couldn't open his eyes, but he still held the stone pipe tightly.
"What's going on? Why isn't Tang Mi coming out?" Chang Xi saw that the smoke was almost dissipating, so he quickly stood up and ran over there.
But Jueming is faster than him. This is the disciple he has his eyes on, so he must not be blown to death.
When he came in and saw Tang Mitang standing there in a daze, Jueming couldn't help but knock her on the head.
"Oh my god! I think I know what to do..." Tang Mitang said, and put the stone pipe in his hand into his hand.
Jueming looked down and saw that it was indeed done.
"What's wrong? Is it done?" Chang Xi tiptoed over there, wanting to take a look.
Tang Mitang nodded and smiled.
This was the first time she had been so happy in half a month.
"It's done! Let's try to prepare the medicine!" Chang Xi said excitedly.
Tang Mitang was not in a hurry at this moment. She had only found one poisonous sugar grass, and she had to make sure there were no mistakes.
And now there is something more important.
Tang Mitang walked straight to the room opposite, washed her hands and face, then slowly walked to Zhou Xuanqing and took out a silver needle.
After disinfection and burning, the needle was skillfully inserted into Zhou Xuanqing's acupuncture point.
Looking at Zhou Xuanqing's expressionless face, Tang Mitang felt heartbroken. Fortunately, there was a solution. Otherwise, how could she bear to see such a good-looking person leave in front of her?
After all, she was the only one who knew her name and the only one who called her by her full name.
If you don’t have a confidant, no matter how beautiful the world is, you will eventually be lonely.
