Chapter 43: We are still friends? No! Of course not
"I can finally be reunited with my dad."
Sikong Fu also kept his word, reluctantly took out the Night Pearl and opened the water prison door.
He turned around and handed "Pearl Tears" into my hands and said:
"This thing is no longer of use to me. I heard that my queen loved this thing, so I apologized and gave it to you. Today, my queen was frightened."
After saying that, without waiting for me to be polite to him, Pan Ai turned around and left. When the water cell door opened, Pan Ai didn't care to see the sad back of the man who had just decisively turned around. He stumbled in and splashed into the water, hugging him.
Lin Zheng was so angry that he couldn't hold his breath from crying.
The father and daughter had a happy ending. I should have been happy for them, but looking at the clear wine in the remaining glass, I suddenly felt sorry for Sikong Fu.
A few of us came out of the prison together. A small carriage was waiting for Pan Ai at the door, saying that it would send them safely to the palace. Pan Ai put Lin Zhengqi on the carriage and looked around. It must be
I didn't see the person I wanted to see, so I regretfully got on the carriage.
Situ Quan was about to follow him into the carriage, but was stopped by the guard on the side. The guard said:
"Master Situ, Your Majesty has ordered me to ask you a question. Now I have two choices: to flee the world or to continue to serve the imperial court."
Situ Quan paused, and after a moment, he opened the curtain and said to Pan Ai:
"My dear, you value yourself too much. What I owe him can only be repaid if I try my best to benefit the people."
Pan Ai seemed to have reached some tacit understanding and smiled.
"Quan, thank you, and I also ask you to help him and make up for the mistakes dad made."
The carriage drove away, and I sighed helplessly. Situ Quan turned around and faced me face to face.
"Anle, are we still friends?"
"no."
I said it without thinking. If you are a friend, you will not take me as a hostage. If you are a friend, you will not put a knife on my neck, although I know that he will not really kill me.
But my cultivation level is not as good as the heroine in the romance novel, who has a broad bodhisattva heart and forgives everyone.
He should have known this when he put the cartilage powder into the pear blossom paste.
Sikong Fu kept him, not necessarily because he forgave him, but maybe just because he was indeed a pillar in the court, but these have nothing to do with me.
Only the people present and the guards knew about Pan Ai's departure. Since these people were Sikong Fu's confidants, naturally no one leaked it out.
The next day, Sikong Fu issued an imperial edict and ordered Pan Ai and Lin Zhengqi to die. This satisfied the courtiers, while he found two men of similar stature from the death row as stand-ins. I don’t know if the ministers really believed it or not.
Walking down the steps given by Sikong Fu, this matter can be considered finished.
After receiving "Pearl Tears", Sikong Fu had just suffered a love injury and was probably not in a good mood. Yelu Zihan had the good sense to resign. This time he resigned because he really wanted to leave.
I thought that the last farewell party had already been held and this time I would just leave quietly without taking away a single cloud. Unexpectedly, Sikong Fu said that he would hold a farewell party again.
= =! Do you have a habit of holding banquets in your country? Farewell, farewell, farewell to your sister. If you have that time, you might as well sleep at home.
I had already made up my mind that I would not attend this hypocritical banquet, but the banquet has not started yet...
Yelu Zihan sent a large group of palace maids to come over and dress me up with my clothes tied up. They also used the Situ Quan incident to ridicule me, pitifully saying that they were afraid that the "master-servant contract" would harm him.
