Chapter 185 – Lessons to Mother
Having settled Guo Xiang down and ordered others to take good care of her, Wushang changed into a new set of clothes and left Jing King Manor with a peace of mind. He chased after Helian Yi to the imperial palace.
Currently, within the imperial palace of the State of Tong Li, Qiu Xiang knelt before the lily, timidly lowering her head, not daring to look at it.
A trace of killing intent flashed through Lily’s cold eyes. She coldly asked Qiu Xiang,
“Where is he!”
After a moment of shock, Qiu Xiang replied, “Reporting to the Empress, Second Miss … she’s gone.”
“You don’t want to see me? How could she disappear when she was locked in the dungeon? What about Mo? Is it also gone? ”
Qiu Xiang nodded. “Yes, it’s the esteemed empress. Princess Jing also disappeared.”
Upon hearing Qiu Xiang’s words, Lily became flustered and tossed the teacup in her hands over to her.
Dong Xiang and Ju Xiang, who were standing at the side, hurriedly kneeled in front of the lily to plead for Qiu Xiang.
“Please be merciful, Empress!”
“Please be merciful, Empress!”
Lily’s voice was filled with uncontrollable anger as she said in a gloomy and heartless manner, “A woman can be lost. Is it really useless for me to raise you!?”
Qiuxiang kneeled on the ground, prostrated in front of the lily, extended her hand and grabbed onto the hem of the lily as she sobbed,
“Niangniang, this servant was wrong. This servant was negligent in her duties and lost Second Miss. “Please punish this servant. Please don’t be angry.”
Baihe stared coldly at Qiuxiang. The three maidservants in front of her had accompanied her since childhood. If she really had to teach them a lesson, she wouldn’t have the heart to do so.
However, in these past few days, the things that were arranged for them would always go awry. This caused Baihe to be extremely angry. He coldly asked Qiu Xiang, “Where did you lose it?!”
Qiu Xiang lowered her head and returned, “It’s in Ming You Country’s dungeon. This servant truly cannot sneak in. I had wanted to come back and report this back to you, but who knew, before I could even report it to you, Second Miss had already disappeared without a trace. ”
Lily stood up and stared straight ahead with her black eyes. Her hands tightly gripped the snow-white silk handkerchief. She only hoped that nothing would happen to her little sister.
Ming You Country, when Helian Yi rushed to the Imperial City, those guards saw that it was King Jing and hastily let him in. They opened the city gates to invite him in.
Just as Helian Yi entered, Wushang followed him.
He followed Helian Yi in the direction of the Qing-He Palace.
Within Qing He Palace, Mu Ziyan was leaning against the headboard, while Helian Honglie was holding a bottle of medicine in his hands. He earnestly fed the medicine to Mu Ziyan.
His eyes were filled with gentleness as he smiled, “Yan’er, come and drink this. The imperial physician said that your body has just recovered, so you must drink the medicine on time.”
Mu Ziyan pursed her lips into a smile, lightly nodding her head. “Mm. Thank you, your majesty.”
After feeding Mu Ziyan, Helian Honglie placed the bowl to the side and sighed.
“I know that you’ve been wronged this time. I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter clearly. I will never forgive any villain!” But I won’t wrongly accuse any good person either. ”
When he thought of Mo Li, who was still in the dungeon, and her clear eyes, Helian Honglie’s heart ached.
Naturally, Mu Ziyan could hear the meaning in Helian Honglie’s words. However, her plan had already succeeded, and Mo Xie should have already reached the Forest of Death!
With a sneer in her heart, Mu Ziyan laughed and said:
“Your Majesty is right. Chenqie hopes so too. It’s getting late, is the emperor still going over tonight? ”
Hadn’t she lived in the Cold Palace for so many years just for this day! If the Emperor could once again treat her as his favorite, then wasn’t the reason why she had been lying low on the bed, waiting for this day to come?
For the past few days, Helian Honglie had returned from the imperial court almost daily to Qing He Palace to accompany Mu Ziyan. During the entire night, he watched the sisters of the other palaces discussing with each other.
Mu Ziyan’s gaze was fixed on Helian Honglie, waiting for him to reply.
However, before he could finish his words, the doors of the palace were kicked open, and the two doors flew out like kites with their strings cut.
This scene frightened Mu Ziyan. Of course, it also startled Helian Honglie.
Mu Ziyan instinctively hid in Helian Honglie’s embrace and shouted, “Ah …”
Helian Honglie suddenly raised his eyes to look at the approaching person. He was startled as he angrily scolded with a cold voice, “Yi’er, what are you doing!?”
Helian Yi sprinted all the way to Qing He Palace. From afar, he could hear the conversation between Helian Honglie and Mu Ziyan. Although their voices sounded familiar, he could not remember anything except Mo Xie.
In the chaos of his mind, there was only one voice that kept reminding him, “Save Liu! “A long time!” Her scarlet eyes were like a bloodthirsty lion’s, causing Mu Ziyan to feel a chill down her spine.
“Yi’er, you’re here.”
Helian Yi’s sharp gaze landed on Mu Ziyan’s body. With an ice-cold and furious voice, he interrogated,
“How long?”
Hearing this, Mu Ziyan couldn’t help but lean backwards. Why would her son be here at this time?
Helian Honglie’s suspicious gaze fell on Mu Ziyan’s face. He closely sized her up, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and asked:
“Yan’er, why would Yi’er ask such a question?” Right now, he didn’t have time to ask why Helian Yi suddenly appeared at Qing He Palace, nor did he have time to ask about anything else.
Hearing Helian Yi’s question, he looked at Mu Ziyan curiously, and asked coldly:
“What happened to her?”
Mu Ziyan did not say anything and just stood there quietly.
Helian Yi roared, “Speak!” Mu Ziyan almost went limp from the impact.
She slowly raised her head and stared into Helian Yi’s eyes.
“I haven’t seen anyone in the past two days.”
“Aren’t you going to tell me?” Helian Yi gritted his teeth as he looked at Mu Ziyan and asked coldly.
Mu Ziyan forced a laugh, “Hehe, Yi’er, is there anyone who can talk to mufei like that?”
Helian Yi clenched his fists tightly. Helian Honglie could even clearly see that Helian Lie was secretly enduring, enduring the bulging blue veins on the back of his hand.
His cold voice said to Mu Ziyan:
“This King does not have the patience to beat around the bush with you! “Tell me where you are now!”
Only now did Helian Honglie notice Helian Yi’s strangeness. His gaze shifted to Mu Ziyan who was beside him. His eyes reminded her of the truth.magic
Mu Ziyan’s eyes flashed, she turned her face away, not looking at the two of them. Helian Yi did not have the patience to wait any longer, he gathered her inner strength and extended her hand to draw in one of the maidservants who were waiting outside.
When the maidservant saw this, she hurriedly begged for mercy. However, Helian Yi ignored her and asked the maidservant, “Speak, where is the sound?”
The maidservant was frightened as she looked at Mu Ziyan, begging her to save her. However, Mu Ziyan turned a blind eye to it.
Helian Yi glared furiously at Mu Ziyan and tightened his grip. Suddenly, with a crisp sound, the servant girl seemed to have separated from her body and rolled her eyes, unable to wake up.
This scene frightened Mu Ziyan and Helian Honglie. Seeing this, Helian Honglie let out a furious roar.“Yi’er? “How dare you!”
Helian Yi looked coldly at Helian Honglie and gradually settled down.
