"You all go out..." Shen Qingzhou's voice was a little hoarse.
Xifeng clenched his hands hard and his eyes fell on Bai Li's ashen face. "Prime Minister... please let her go."
This was the first time that Xifeng wanted to resist Shen Qingzhou, and it was also the first time that Xifeng mustered up the courage.
"Let her go?" Shen Qingzhou smiled. "Even if I die, I will not let her go."
He has been the one who has trapped Bai Li all these years, but he won't let him go. Who is it?
Is it that Bai Li won't let him go, or that he won't let Bai Li go?
Who can say clearly about torturing each other?
…
"Ahri...have you fallen in love with someone else?"
"Ali, are you in love with Mu Jingyan?"
"Yes... I love Mu Jingyan, and I only love him from the beginning to the end!"
Back then, ever since Baili personally said that the person she loved was Mu Jingyan, he was not the one who was tortured.
Xifeng glanced at Baili again with trembling hands, seemed to have made some decision, and turned around to leave.
Shen Qingzhou remained calm and calm, as if he firmly believed that Bai Li would not die.
She won't die...
How could this woman die? If she could die, she would have died long ago. Why did she sacrifice Mu Jingyan back then, not for their evil seed, for Chaoyang...
"I said, if you dare to die, I will not let your daughter go." Shen Qingzhou gently washed the warm towel and carefully wiped the blood on Bai Li's face.
Even if he only has one breath, he will keep Bai Li alive.
"This is my punishment for you, Ahri..."
Shen Qingzhou unbuttoned Bai Li's clothes, loosened her chains, and hugged her tightly. "You know I will punish you..."
He will punish Chaoyang, which is what Baili owes him.
"Ali, do you still remember? That year in the Western Regions, you stood in the sea of flowers and said that only one person could get the book of war in the end."
"You said, whoever wins will get the military book."
"You said, you are the strategist. If you win... you and the strategist are both spoils of war."
It is the spoil of war promised by the King of the Western Regions.
Bai Li was once the most beautiful woman in the Western Region, and also the first master in the Western Region.
"Ah Li, it's obvious that I am the one who won, and you are mine..." Shen Qingzhou hugged Bai Li's body and gently wiped the blood on her body.
He was the one who won, but Baili... why did he fall in love with someone else?
Mu Jingyan, what is it?
He is a liar...
"Ali, when the new emperor takes the throne, no matter who he is... he can't tolerate you and Chaoyang. You really made me angry this time. You know I won't let your daughter go... She should accept the punishment in your place.
"
Shen Qingzhou's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his hand on Bai Li's waist slowly tightened.
…
Prince Li's Mansion.
"The princess is still in a coma."
Xiao Junze came back from the palace, Chaoyang was still awake.
This time she was seriously injured, she lost too much blood, and her face was as pale as paper.
Xiao Junze sat beside the bed and reached out to touch Chaoyang's face by accident.
Is this sense of familiarity an illusion?
"You need to wake up soon. You have left too many military tactics behind. I want to punish you." Xiao Junze spoke in a low voice, and the fingers he touched along Chaoyang's chin were slightly numb.
What on earth...is wrong with him? Xicai?
Why do you feel sorry for this woman?
It's because she blocked the arrow for herself...
"Your Majesty, there is news from the Prime Minister's Mansion that the princess's mother has taken poison... Doctor Xue even said that there is no way to save her." The secret guard fell outside the door and spoke nervously.
Xiao Junze left the inner hall, his steps stiffened. "What did you say?"
"This was secretly sent by someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion." The secret guard placed an embroidery picture of poppies in Xiao Junze's hand.
That is charm embroidery.
Xiao Junze's fingers were a little numb, and he slowly rubbed the poppy. "She...is hopeless?"
"Doctor Xue said that the toxin is too deadly and there is no cure."
Xiao Junze subconsciously looked back at Chaoyang. Everything she did was for her mother. If she knew...
That rising sun will definitely not stay.
Inexplicably, Xiao Junze wanted to monopolize Chaoyang, and he... didn't want to let her go. "This matter must be concealed, and the princess must not know it!"
The secret guard was stunned for a moment and nodded respectfully. "Yes!"
Chaoyang must not be allowed to know that something has happened to her mother.
The secret guard retreated, Xiao Junze's fingertips rubbed against Mei Xiu, and he knew what Bai Li's final message meant.
Baili asked him to let Chaoyang go free, and send Chaoyang away from Fengtian no matter how he did it.
Otherwise, Chaoyang will die.
Xiao Junze threw the charming embroidered picture into the flames, his eyes wandering a little.
He...really wants to let this woman go?
Wait a little longer...wait a little longer.
When he sat in that position, he let Chaoyang leave.
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
"Cough cough cough." Emperor Long coughed softly, and the silk cloth was covered with blood.
Doctor Xue nervously held Long Di's arm and motioned him to sit down. "Your Majesty, you can't work too hard."
Knowing that he was about to die soon, Emperor Long was heartbroken for the sake of Fengtian and the future new emperor.
"Forefathers planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade, and I will always pave the way for them." Emperor Long was helped by Divine Doctor Xue to sit down and sighed. "She...is hopeless?"
"Your Majesty, the poison that seals the throat with blood is more poisonous than arsenic." Doctor Xue shook his head.
Bai Li, there is no hope.
Emperor Long seemed to be relieved, and then smiled bitterly. "Did the Queen Mother feel any pain before she died?"
Today is the national mourning of the Queen Mother. He, as his son... is really unfilial.
However, he soon followed the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother passed away peacefully..." Doctor Xue lowered his eyes, his heart trembling.
Being born into a royal family, there are many things that make people think deeply and be very frightened.
Emperor Long was suspicious by nature. He knew that his health was not good, so he had to let the Queen Mother, a member of the eldest grandson's family, walk in front.
In order for Xiao Junze to be restored to the position of crown prince and succeed to the throne, the Queen Mother would naturally support Emperor Long.
"I went to see her and said... I couldn't bear to see your white-haired person give away a black-haired person." Emperor Long's voice was trembling.
The Queen Mother is not his biological mother, but he has been fostered by her since he was a child. It is impossible to say that he has no feelings...
It's a pity that the Sun family's ambitions are too big these days...
"The Queen Mother must understand your majesty's painstaking efforts. This is all for the sake of serving heaven." Doctor Xue said nervously.
He was also afraid that if he knew too much... he would be silenced by Emperor Long in the future.
"Everything is for Fengtian." Emperor Long nodded. Everything he did was for Fengtian's future. "In these years, I have established queens and crown princes, step by step to solve foreign crises and stabilize domestic affairs. I have eliminated powerful officials.
, disintegrate the Changsun family, get rid of Mu Jingyan, and firmly grasp the military power... I will reuse Shen Qingzhou and get rid of Baili... Which step is not for Fengtian."
"Your Majesty, you are a man of great righteousness." Doctor Xue spoke in a trembling voice and quickly knelt on the ground.
He... doesn't want to know too much.
Knowing this means that when Emperor Long dies, he must follow him.
"Jinghua, you have been with me all these years. You are used to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes. I have trapped you in this deep palace. Do you have any complaints?"
Come out of the mountain.
"Your Majesty is kind to Jinghua, and Jinghua will follow you to the death." Xue Jinghua lowered his head, his breathing stagnant.
"There is no need to follow, and don't be afraid. I will die...you will live." Emperor Long knew that Xue Jinghua was afraid, so he said it in advance.
Xue Jinghua's body was a little stiff. Emperor Long used me, not me.
"I just want to find a confidant to talk to..."
In the imperial study room, the strong loneliness made Xue Jinghua feel sad.
This is the royal family. So what if he has all the power in the world? There is not even anyone around him who can speak his mind.
