Young Master? This title made Su Tong's scalp tingle. She stood up in a panic and took two steps back.
"What did you call me?" Su Tong frowned. This title is so weird! It sounds like someone from a crooked cult!
"The Lord has accepted you as my disciple, and you are now the Young Master." Yan Lei explained calmly, making a gesture of invitation, "Young Master, please come with us."
"Wait!" Su Tong stretched out his hand and interrupted him quickly, "Where are you taking me? Where is the Demon Lord?"
She has a plan - she also wants to use the Demon Lord to enter the palace...
"This is the Lord's instructions. It's better for the young master not to ask too many questions. Besides, the young master doesn't want to... don't have this antidote, right?" Yan Lei looked slightly calm and shook a small porcelain bottle in his hand.
.
Su Tong suddenly remembered: The silver hairpin that the Demon Lord thrust into her hand today was poisonous!
Damn! I almost forgot about this!
"Give me the antidote!" Su Tong stretched out her hand and spoke bitterly, her eyes slightly cold.
Huo'er on the ground was also staring at him, letting out a dangerous low roar from his throat, threatening Yan Lei in front of him.
"Please don't be embarrassed, young master..."
"What nonsense! What nonsense are you talking to her about!" Before he could finish his words, Yixue beside him could no longer listen anymore. He suddenly intervened, pulled out the whip wrapped around his waist, swung the whip, tied up Huo'er, and jumped into the air.
, leave directly.
Huo'er yelled a few times, but was caught off guard by her and had no time to escape.
"Despicable! Put it down!" Su Tong suddenly became angry. She would fight anyone who dared to anger her!
She wanted to catch up, but how could her footsteps be as good as Yixue's Qinggong? As she watched her rise and fall, the white figure disappeared from sight...
"Young Master, please." Yan Lei followed him calmly, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth - anyway, now that he has taken advantage of her, she has no choice but to follow him!
****************
In the heavily guarded palace.
Hearing that the emperor was critically ill, all civil and military officials were on standby in the front hall. If the emperor had any trouble or had any posthumous edict, it would be best to read it out on the spot. This was the royal family's practice.
When Xuanyuan Hao rushed to the emperor's palace, only the queen was with him. When she saw Xuanyuan Hao coming in, she seemed to have seen a savior, so she quickly got up and came over.
"Haoer, you are finally here, your father..."
"Er Chen already knows." Xuanyuan Hao responded faintly, his eyes glanced at the lifeless man on the bed, and his face couldn't help but become a little colder, "When Xiao Guizi told Er Chen just now, Er Chen had already guessed...
…”
He didn't explain, but both of them could understand: he already knew that this was done by Xuanyuan Jin!
"In that case, hurry up and go to the front hall. All the civil and military officials are there, and Xuanyuan Jin is also there!" The queen said solemnly. When she heard what he said, she quickly pushed him out of the door and explained at the same time, "He
He will definitely say something to encourage civil and military officials. If you are there, he can't be so unscrupulous."
She was very emotional. Seeing that Xuanyuan Hao still seemed to be hesitant, he said angrily: "Go! Your father is already critically ill. What's there to see?"
In her eyes, the emperor is just an emperor. At most, he is just a man with the appearance of power. She will not be heartbroken whether he lives or dies.
"Mother." Xuanyuan Hao's voice was deep, he looked at the anxious queen, and finally said calmly, "That time, the poison on my father's clothes was caused by my mother, right?"
The queen was stunned, her face turned a bit pale, and she turned away awkwardly, not looking directly into Xuanyuan Hao's eyes, and stammered in response: "You...why are you talking about this?"
Could it be that at this time, he still wants to deal with her first?
Besides, there is no evidence at all, how can he deal with it?
"Mother, I don't know what you want, but people who have lived together for so many years have finally come to this point... It's really sad." After a pause, Xuanyuan Hao spoke in a low voice, and every word was engraved in his words.
It touched the Queen's heart and made her heart aching.
It's really sad that people who have lived for so many years... have come to this point...
Her life is indeed sad.
Just because she herself is hateful.
Xuanyuan Hao glanced at the queen who was stunned there for the last time, turned around and walked out of the house, but when he stepped out of the threshold, he turned back slightly and left a faint sentence: "Xiao Guizi is dead..."
After saying that, the tall figure disappeared into the cold palace.
The queen's face turned pale, and she felt a dull pain in her heart - Xiao Guizi, the sincere servant who stayed with her and knew all her secrets, finally went first...
Reluctant to give up. Really reluctant to give up.
Her hatred has swept away a bloody storm...even she began to look down on herself.
Turning around, she walked stiffly back to the edge of the bed, staring at the unconscious man on the bed for a long time, with a slight wavering in her heart - was she right or wrong to do this?
