"No, the mother-in-law misunderstood." Xie Yao still explained with a humble attitude, "Not only was she not an assassin, but she also arrived in time to drive away the assassin with her daughter-in-law! Speaking of her identity, you should have heard about it. My daughter-in-law asked her before
She is the one people are looking for in all countries.”
"She is the adopted daughter of King Pingxi?" Concubine Jing was obviously surprised.
She had seen King Pingxi only a few times, let alone the righteous daughter of King Pingxi who had only been to the capital once!
"Are you sure you didn't admit it wrong? She is really King Pingxi's adopted daughter?" Concubine Jing asked cautiously.
Although Chu Yier does not have royal blood, she can still be considered a member of the royal family, and under such special circumstances, she must figure things out.
"This is the first time I met my daughter-in-law in Miao territory, so I can't tell. However, the emperor once said that she is the adopted daughter of his uncle, which must be true. If you don't believe it, you can leave her in the palace until the emperor wakes up.
You will know after you ask." Xie Yao explained another doubtful point clearly, and then continued to remain silent.
This time, Concubine Jing did not speak again, and took a deep look at Xie Yao, "Why did you leave the adopted daughter of King Pingxi behind when you were assassinated, and took the unconscious emperor out of the palace overnight to the General's Mansion? Moreover?
Didn’t you come back until daybreak? And you brought back something that is neither human nor ghost?”
After finishing her words, Concubine Jing's eyes fell on Xie Yao's face. For a moment, she seemed to see through Xie Yao, full of suspicion.
Xie Yao secretly raised her eyebrows. Did Concubine Jing ask someone to inquire about her overnight schedule before she came?
"Mother and Concubine Mingjian. At that time, my daughter-in-law was assassinated, and she was worried that if she attacked the emperor now, he would have no power to resist! Moreover, the assassin was able to sneak into the palace quietly, which means that the guards in the palace may not be useful to the assassin!"
"My daughter-in-law was so anxious that she decided to take the emperor out of the palace immediately! Please forgive my daughter-in-law's blunt statement. The General's Mansion occupies a smaller area and is easier to send people for protection. However, I thought that the Emperor could not stay in the General's Mansion for a long time, so I hid.
After a while, he turned back."
"As for the man brought back by the daughter-in-law, he..." Xie Yao had already thought of the reason for Yang Fan's appearance. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the concubine Jing's people moving Yang Fan out.
At this moment, the bandages on Yang Fan's body were stained red with blood, and the most serious wounds were on the limbs. At this time, his face was no longer red, but showed a pale color, indicating that he had begun to show symptoms of excessive blood loss.
"Bang!"
The palace man directly threw Yang Fan to the ground and reported to the concubine, "To the concubine, this is a human stick. It is made after having its limbs cut off. It is an extremely cruel punishment! And once you become a human stick, you will be punished.
It cannot live for a long time, it is an evil thing, and it may be harmful to the emperor and the palace."
"Bang!"
With another sound, Xie Yao appeared almost instantly in front of the two palace men who threw Yang Fan to the ground and kicked him away.
Everyone was on guard for a moment, and Xie Yao's attention was only on Yang Fan in front of her.
I checked my breathing and checked my pulse. Fortunately, the situation has not worsened.
When Concubine Jing saw Xie Yao suddenly taking action and kicking her person away, her momentum suddenly sank. Just as she was about to speak, she discovered that Xie Yao had a murderous aura on her body!
She had seen this murderous aura when Xie Yao and Chu Han captured the palace together.
Therefore, he changed his words and said, "Queen, who is he? Why did he become like this and why was he brought into the palace by you?"
Xie Yao slowly put Yang Fan down, stood up, and turned to the concubine. Her tone was less respectful and more cold, "He is an expert that my daughter-in-law's grandfather found in Miao territory. It was he who cured the emperor's injury in Miao territory."
, so that the emperor can return here alive."
"The assassin chased him to the general's mansion last night. It was he who led everyone to resist and repelled the assassin, but he was also poisoned by the assassin! His limbs were cut off to prevent the poison from spreading further and save his life!"
"The reason why my daughter-in-law brought him back is because he saved the emperor's life. My daughter-in-law also wants to save his life! We can't just watch him die and be an unkind and unjust person!"
After saying these words, Concubine Jing was speechless and her aura became much weaker.
"In that case, you should leave him here to take good care of him. If you need anything, just go to the treasury to get it. The Ai family has not slept all night and is very tired now. Let's go first." After Concubine Jing said, she was about to go.
Turn around and leave.
Xie Yao called someone and sent Yang Fanan back safely. When she turned around, she saw that Concubine Jing had already walked to the entrance of the courtyard. She suddenly said in a low voice, "Concubine, please stay."
Concubine Jing paused slightly but did not stop, "Ai Jia is tired. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Since the mother and concubine are here, why not go over with your daughter-in-law to visit the emperor." Xie Yao said in a calm tone, turned and walked towards the door, and dared to go out in front of the concubine Jing, and walked towards Chu Han's yard.
Concubine Jing thought of Chu Han and was worried all the time. She thought that Xie Yao was awake at the moment and had a few questions to ask, so she passed.
After entering the room, Xie Yao and Concubine Jing came to Chu Han's bed.
Looking at the unconscious man on the bed, the two women had different thoughts, but they were both worried.
"Mother, the emperor has been in a coma for many days. Although everyone in Wanqi Kingdom seems not to have been affected, there are many invisible places that may not be the case. The top priority is to wake up the emperor." Xie Yao's eyes fell on the bed.
The man's voice was soft but deep.
"You have no doubts about Eunuch Li's abilities. My daughter-in-law understands, but you also have to make your own judgment. The emperor has been in coma for more than a month since he returned to the palace. Why did Eunuch Li not take action earlier but offered to treat the emperor at this time?
"
She didn't believe that Concubine Jing had no doubts in her heart. She just trusted Eunuch Li too much.
Through two contacts, she was able to determine that Concubine Jing was not controlled, but her temperament did change, presumably due to Eunuch Li's influence.
"..." Concubine Jing did not speak, although there was a hint of reproach in Xie Yao's tone.
After all, Xie Yao had positioned Eunuch Li as a meritorious person and did not elaborate further, "Now Wanqi Country is facing a national crisis. Please keep your eyes open. Let's work together and wait for the day when the emperor wakes up."
Concubine Jing still didn't say a word. She looked at Chu Han who was unconscious on the bed. There was a look of kindness in her eyes, as well as a hint of recollection. After another moment, she slowly said: "Eunuch Li's appearance is quite similar to yours."
What my father looked like when he was young."
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows and recalled for a while. Compared with Emperor Zhaochu, Eunuch Li's appearance didn't seem to have much similarity. If anything, only his eyes were similar.
However, looking at Concubine Jing's eyes as she reminisced, it didn't look like she was lying. It seemed that what happened to Emperor Zhaochu had a big impact on Concubine Jing, but she just took her back to the palace because her eyes were seven-pointed.
Just when he was about to say something, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Chu Han's hand raised from the corner of his eye...
