The uncle nodded and exchanged glances with the Empress. Both of their eyes were filled with unconcealable fervor and malice.
The uncle quickly took action and walked out with the Soul Devourer. The Empress stayed in the Clear Sun Hall and found a place to sit down. She rubbed her temples. She was indeed a little tired after seeing that she was about to succeed. The queen, who was so pleased with herself, did not notice that the person lying on the dragon bed had gradually recovered his breath...
The night passed without a word. The next day, just as the sky was bright, a black shadow suddenly dashed into the Zhaoyang Hall and knelt down in front of the Empress on one knee."Empress, Prince Ye isn't in Prince Ye's mansion! Miss Ning and General Lan were also missing!”
"What?" The Empress turned pale with fright and immediately stood up." Ma Jie, tell me what happened.”
"Yes, sir!" Ma Jie cupped his fists." I received your orders and immediately led my men to Prince Ye's mansion. However, we searched the entire mansion but could not find Prince Ye's shadow at all. I suspected that General Lan's information was wrong, so I rushed back to the Li Kun Palace. However, General Lan and Lady Ning were missing. I suspect that we have fallen into the enemy's trap!”
The Empress's vision went black and she could barely stand. She forced herself to steady herself and said,""Then…what about uncle?"
"Are you looking for him? " The door of Clear Sun Hall was suddenly opened, and a strong light poured in. The Empress subconsciously narrowed her eyes, and her feet were suddenly hit by something. It was so painful that the Empress couldn't help but stagger a few steps. Only then did she see clearly that there was a person lying at her feet like a dead dog. It was the country uncle!
The empress's expression changed drastically. She looked at Si Tingye at the door and was furious." How dare you insult the current imperial uncle? Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you're a prince?”
Si Tingye stood with his hands behind his back and took a few steps forward. He looked coldly at the Empress and said,""The empress barged into Clear Sun Hall at night and even ordered people to injure the guards guarding Clear Sun Hall. I wonder what her intentions are?”
Looking at Lan Mo and Ning Ruqiu standing behind Si Tingye, the Empress's expression turned even uglier, but she still said in a stern manner,""Bengong is concerned about the safety of the emperor's dragon body and came to visit, why not?”
Si Tingye laughed coldly and took out a medicine packet from his sleeve. It was the " Soul Devourer " she had given to the country uncle to murder the princes. He threw it at the empress's feet and said,""The Empress should recognize this item, right?"
The Empress's face grew paler, but she still refused to admit it.""What is this? BenGong has never seen it before.”
Si Tingye looked coldly at the Empress and did not say anything else. He turned to look at Ning Ruqiu.
Ning Ruqiu sighed and slowly walked forward, saying,""Empress, you should be very clear about the current situation. Why do you have to put up a stubborn resistance? Those "
Upon hearing this, the Empress looked at Ning Ruqiu, her eyes filled with deep resentment." Ning Ruqiu, I know that I've treated you well. Why did you conspire with others to frame me?”
Ning Ruqiu's eyes narrowed slightly. After a while, she raised her head and said,""Empress, do you know that the emperor is not dead?”
"What?" Hearing this, the Empress's expression changed drastically. Finally, she could not hold on any longer. She staggered a few steps and turned her head back. However, the Emperor's bed was surrounded by guards. The Empress could not see anything and could only turn her head back to look at Ning Ruqiu." Impossible, BenGong clearly checked…"
" That's just a fake death." Ning Ruqiu was expressionless." You were the one who poisoned the Emperor with the Golden Ring Snake poison. You should be very clear about the symptoms of this neurotoxin after detoxification. After taking the antidote, the poisoned person will fall into a state of fake death for a period of time, but this kind of fake death will not affect a person's consciousness. In other words, every thing you did and every word you said in Clear Sun Hall, the Emperor knows clearly. Now, do you think there's any meaning in not taking your death seriously?”
" Empress." At this moment, Lan Mo took two steps forward and looked at the pale-faced Empress."Prince Ye, Miss Ning, and I heard every word you and the country's uncle said in Clear Sun Palace. The reason why we didn't stop you was to eliminate the power behind you. Now, all of your men are under our control.”
"Heh, heh!" The empress laughed bitterly and fell to the ground uncontrollably. She looked at Si Tingye and the others with hatred." Surrender? I've worked so hard to set up this plan for so many years, but now it's all in vain because of you guys. Hehe, hehe…"
Ning Ruqiu frowned. She didn't know why, but she had a bad premonition. The Empress continued," This Queen has been in the throne for many years and has served the royal family to the best of my abilities. But in the end, this damned dog Emperor wants to cripple my only son and not let my Lin 'er be the Emperor. Tell me, can I accept this?"!”
No one answered or moved. They just quietly looked at the Empress who sat on the ground with lifeless eyes. After all, she was once the Empress. Her mother was so glorious, but now she was in a daze. Her hair was disheveled, and her behavior was no different from that of a common shrew. For a moment, the resplendent Bright Sun Hall seemed to be shrouded in a layer of sadness.
"Ning Ruqiu, you're really capable!”The Empress suddenly looked at Ning Ruqiu and raised her hands slightly. Her eyes once again burst with a strong hatred. At the same time, two golden lights shot out from the Empress 'sleeves and went straight for Ning Ruqiu's face.
"Be careful!" Two warnings rang out in unison. Si Tingye and Lan Mo pounced towards Ning Ruqiu at the same time.
"Clang!" It was Ma Jie who flew up. Two hidden weapons flew out at the same time. One hit Si Tingye's back, and the other hit Lan Mo's back. The two of them groaned at the same time.
Golden Ring Snake!
Ning Ruqiu looked at the two golden snakes in front of her with sharp fangs, and her pupils instantly contracted violently! Who would have thought that the Empress would actually keep the Golden Ring Snake in her sleeves? Who would have thought that the person the Empress hated the most was actually Ning Ruqiu and wanted to drag her down with her even when she was about to die!
Although she could clearly see that the two little snakes in front of her were undoubtedly the Golden Ring Snakes, it was impossible for Ning Ruqiu to avoid them with her speed. She seemed to see that the Golden Ring Snake's venom had already penetrated her internal organs.
However, at this moment, a black shadow pounced on her at a speed faster than the Golden Ring Snake. Due to the excessive force, both of them fell to the ground. When Ning Ruqiu saw the person in front of her clearly, she swallowed all her words. The person who saved her was Si Tingye!
Previously, Si Tingye and Lan Mo were both hit by Ma Jie's hidden weapons. Lan Mo turned around and pounced towards Ma Jie, while Si Tingye's brows didn't even twitch as he continued to head towards Ning Ruqiu.
Si Tingye glanced at Ning Ruqiu and pulled his hands behind his back. Two shiny golden ring snakes suddenly appeared in his hands. Bright red blood dripped down from the fangs of the two little snakes. Before Ning Ruqiu could say anything, Si Tingye suddenly slapped down hard. The two little snakes were instantly smashed into a bloody mess and could no longer do evil!
Si Tingye didn't even have the time to look at Ning Ruqiu last night before his head drooped and fell on top of Ning Ruqiu.
"Come and help me, help Prince Ye up.”Ning Ruqiu shouted. She had never known that she would be so impatient. At this moment, she only felt that she was about to explode from anger, astonishment, and some unknown emotions.
When the guards around saw this, they immediately went forward to help Si Tingye and Ning Ruqiu up. Ning Ruqiu could not care less about anything else. Seeing Si Tingye's face getting darker and darker, Ning Ruqiu helped Si Tingye to the side, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down. Then, she took off Si Tingye's clothes.
Looking at the four teeth marks on Si Tingye's back, Ning Ruqiu almost lost control of her emotions again. These four teeth marks were supposed to be on her body!
Without any time to hesitate, Ning Ruqiu bent down and sucked the poisonous blood for Si Tingye. This was not the best way to cure the poison, but Si Tingye had used his internal energy to kill the two snakes and accelerated the circulation of the poison. Ning Ruqiu had no choice but to suck out the poison first to control the spread of the poisonous blood and then concoct an antidote. Otherwise, Si Tingye would have died in less than half an hour.
As Ning Ruqiu spat out mouthful after mouthful of black blood, the Bright Sun Palace gradually quieted down. Everyone looked at Ning Ruqiu and Si Tingye quietly. Lan Mo had already subdued Ma Jie. He came to Ning Ruqiu's side with his eyes lowered. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, Ning Ruqiu finally raised her head and said,""Alright, the poison has been temporarily controlled. You guys carry wangye back to the wangfu and take good care of him. I will hurry up and make an antidote for him!”
"Yes, sir!"
The guards immediately left. The Empress and Ma Jie had already been taken to prison. Not long after, the bustling Clear Sun Hall became empty again. Ning Ruqiu glanced at the servant girls who were cleaning up on the ground and said to Lan Mo, who had a concerned look on his face,"Isn't General Lan leaving?"
Lan Mo's expression was a little ugly. He forced a smile and said,""I'll wait for you."
Ning Ruqiu didn't say anything. She got up and walked out of Clear Sun Hall. However, when she stepped over the threshold, her body swayed involuntarily. Lan Mo quickly supported her." Miss Ning, are you alright?"”
Ning Ruqiu shook her head and politely pushed Lan Mo away.""I'm fine. I just got a little bit of the poisonous gas of the Golden Ring Snake. It's nothing serious. I just need to rest.”
Lan Mo was still worried and looked at Ning Ruqiu." Where are you going next?" I'll send you off."
Ning Ruqiu shook her head again." I'm going back to Prince Ye's Mansion. Si Hengqing is waiting for me, so I won't trouble General Lan."”
Hearing this, Lan Mo was stunned. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said,"You still have to return to the Ye Manor."
Ning Ruqiu looked strangely at Lan Mo. Seeing the latter's pained expression, she helplessly waved her hand and said,"Si Tingye was poisoned by the golden ring snake for me.”
Lan Mo didn't believe her and looked at Ning Ruqiu." It's that simple?”
Ning Ruqiu looked up at Lan Mo and said lightly,""General Lan, please have some self-respect."
Lan Mo was stunned, and his handsome face couldn't help but turn red. Seeing that Ning Ruqiu was about to leave, he hurriedly said,""I was rude. Miss Ning, please don't mind.”
Ning Ruqiu waved her hand and stopped talking nonsense. She turned around and walked towards the palace gate. She did not see Lan Mo slowly fall to the ground behind her.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
