Siyang lowered her head and calmly tidied her clothes. She had messed up her belt because of her large movements. Hearing Tuozan's question, she raised her head to look at her changed expression and smiled, "Are you very surprised? You can rebel, so I can't lose to you. "
"Don't you think so?"
Si Yang's expression was so calm that it was as if what she had just done was as ordinary as killing a chicken to her. When Hawksbill saw this, her eyes widened. She, who wasn't stupid, also understood what was going on.
"You, you don't love him at all." Tuozan pointed at Siyang and shouted. Her face was twisted as if this matter had changed her world view.
"I do, how can I not love him." She gently patted her belly, as if to comfort the fetus in her womb, telling him not to be frightened by the chaotic scene here. After patting her belly twice, the little fellow in her womb responded with two small fists. The smile on Si Yang's face deepened.
"It's just … …" Siyang finally gave Xue Pinggui a look. Seeing his shocked and disbelieving expression, she sighed, "The Wang Baochuan who loved His Majesty is already dead … …"
"She was killed by His Majesty." Bending down slightly, her fingers stroked the hilt of her sword. Xue Pinggui's expression twisted because of Siyang's actions.
"You, you dare to kill the emperor." Xue Pinggui gritted his teeth and spat out these words with difficulty.
Siyang covered her mouth in shock, "How can His Majesty say this? The wounds on your body were caused by the imperial concubine. What does it have to do with chenqie?"
"Shut up, you evil woman. Didn't you pull him in front of you to block the blade?" Tuozan heard her slander and then thought of something. She sneered, "Wang Baochuan, no one can save you this time. Even if I don't kill you, do you think Xue Pinggui will let you go?"
"Is that so?"
Allowing Cui 'er to support her, Siyang glanced at Tuozan indifferently. She touched the hairpin in her bun, "Do I need him to let me go?"
Tuozan saw her like this and felt very uneasy. Just as she was about to say something, a sharp wind blew by her ear. She only felt something scraping her face.
The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh sounded again.
A man in black who had been protecting Tuozan only had time to let out a muffled groan and then fell to the ground.
Before Hawksbill Zan could recover from her shock, there were several whooshing sounds in the air. The Xiliang soldiers that she had brought to rescue her were all shot by arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
Outside the wide open palace door, there was the sound of orderly footsteps and the clanking of metal armor. A row of fully armed and golden-armored soldiers rushed in from the outside. In an instant, Tuozan and the few remaining Xiliang Army soldiers were surrounded.
"Imperial Concubine consort colluded with the Xiliang rebels and tried to assassinate His Majesty. Today, she will be executed."
A dignified voice came from outside. The golden-armored soldiers spontaneously separated. The person who came in was dressed in general armor. He had a heavy sword at his waist and walked with steady steps. A wide black cloak was tied behind him. When it fluttered, it seemed that the smell of blood from his body could be smelled.
Siyang looked at him carefully. It had been a few months since they last met. Compared to the gentle appearance he had before he left, the current Li Yi had a more iron-blooded and dauntless aura. Compared to the past few days, the battles on the battlefield must have been battles of life and death.
Blinking her eyes, Siyang lowered her emotions and looked at her stomach. The corners of her lips curled up. Fortunately, it was time for everything to end.
The moment Li Yi entered and threatened Tuozan, he looked around for her. When he saw that familiar figure being supported to the side, her protruding stomach became even more obvious.
Li Yi scanned her up and down. After confirming that she was not injured at all, he let out a sigh of relief. He had almost been a step too late. If he had been a bit later, he really did not know what would have been waiting for him. Of course, he definitely would not have accepted it. However, everything was fine.
"Beloved minister, beloved minister, you've come at the right time. Quick, quickly arrest these traitors for Zhen …" When he saw Li Yi appear, Xue Pinggui's eyes lit up. He had already pulled out the sword from his body and the wound was bleeding non-stop. Now, he saw hope.
Xue Pinggui, who was lying on the ground, raised his hand and pointed at Siyang who was standing in front of him. Panting heavily, he squeezed out his words, "Also, also arrest this bitch."
Siyang took two steps to the side in disgust, trying to stay as far away from Xue Pinggui as possible. Xue Pinggui was very angry, and his blood flowed even faster. However, this small action of hers made Li Yi very happy.
"What are you still standing there for? Capture all these people for me. Kill anyone who resists without mercy."
Tuozan was just about to give the order, but because of Li Yi's words, she held back. Now, everyone could see the situation clearly. She did not have many people on her side, and after the surprise attack just now, there were even fewer people. They were simply not a match for this group of people brought by Li Yi.
But to let her be arrested without putting up a fight? She was not reconciled. Her eyes widened because of the sullenness in her heart. She was clearly about to succeed, it was all … right, it was all Wang Baochuan's fault.
"Wang Baochuan, it's all your fault, you bitch." She fiercely pushed away the golden armored soldiers who were about to arrest her.
"Even if I die, I won't let you go." Tuozan madly pounced on Siyang, her hands brandishing claws. Her face was distorted, and it seemed like she wanted to perish together with Siyang.
Cui 'er was shocked and tried to stop her, but she was no match for Tuozan. She was swung away and thrown to the side.
All of this happened too quickly. Li Yi was too far away to stop it. His expression changed greatly, and he could only watch as Tuozan rushed towards Siyang. If she was hit, with Siyang's current body, she would definitely be in danger.
If there was one who was the calmest at the scene, it would be Siyang. In the eyes of others, Tuozan was unbelievably fast. So when she finally got close to her, when her hand was about to touch the corner of her clothes …
Slap!
A ruthless slap, crisp and loud.
Tuozan, who took this slap, only felt her body sway uncontrollably. The scene in front of her turned upside down. It was not until her body fell heavily on the ground that she realized what had happened.
"You, cough cough …" The moment he opened his mouth, he coughed out a mouthful of blood. Within the blood were two teeth.
Tuozan, who was lying on the ground, only then did she feel the stinging pain from her cheek.
Shaking her hand, Siyang looked at the battered and exhausted Tuozan with a smile, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about me?"
Li Yi finally ran to Siyang's side. Without looking at the others, he pulled her over and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"
This question was too blinding. Anyone with eyes could see who was the one who hurt who. Princess Zan was still lying on the ground.
Unfortunately, Li Yi turned a blind eye to all of this.
Tuozan's whole body strength seemed to have been scattered by this slap. But when she saw Li Yi so protective and worried about Siyang, she was first stunned, then she laughed.
"Hahaha …"
Her laughter got louder and louder, hoarse and unpleasant.
Li Yi turned around and saw that half of Tuozan's face was swollen like a pig's head. When she laughed, there was blood foam in her mouth. Disgust flashed in his eyes. He did not want to look at her anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and drag her away."
"You, you … hahaha …" Tuozan could no longer speak clearly. She did not resist being dragged away. She just laughed wildly and pointed at Siyang and Li Yi. She finally understood that these two people had hooked up with each other without her knowing.
Xue Pinggui, who had been ignored, was about to lose his mind because of the blood loss. He saw Li Yi's actions and Tuozan's performance.
"Wang Baochuan, you betrayed me …" His eyes were almost spitting fire as he looked at Siyang.
Siyang completely ignored Xue Pinggui and only said to Li Yi, "The Runan Of Gojoseon has done a meritorious deed for saving the emperor today. This consort will remember it."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows and stared at Siyang. The latter lifted her chin and looked at him.
Suddenly, the man lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee. He looked at her with a gentle gaze and said, "This subject thanks the Empress."
"Cough cough, cough cough …"
Siyang stared at the person on the bed who was struggling at death's door. She turned her head slightly and said to Cui 'er behind her, "You can leave. Let me speak with him alone."
Cui 'er bowed and left without saying a word.
She walked to the side of the dragon bed and looked down at the person lying on the bed.
Xue Pinggui's life was tough. Tuozan's knife did not kill him. However, this was also because Siyang had sent an imperial physician to treat him in time. Even so, his body had completely deteriorated. Now, he was hanging on by a thread.
At this time, his face was so old that he looked like an old man. He was even worse than Wang Baochuan.
"… You, you're finally here." Xue Pinggui saw Siyang's face clearly. He forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying.
Si Yang just stood there like that, looking down at him from above.
Xue Pinggui was originally calm, but Si Yang's indifferent look infuriated him. Lying on the bed, he struggled to get up, but the moment he moved his body, he was in extreme pain. He had no strength to support himself, and fell heavily to the ground.
"You should save your strength." Siyang said.
"Haha …" Xue Pinggui's chest rose and fell violently. His laughter was like a broken bellow. It was extremely unpleasant to hear.
"What are you doing here? Looking at my current sorry state? "Xue Pinggui asked.
"I've seen enough of your sorry state." Siyang straightened her sleeves and exposed her belly in front of Xue Pinggui's eyes.
As expected, his gaze landed on her belly. His eyes gradually turned red and his teeth creaked. "You, you tell me, the child in your belly … Is it mine …"
"No." Si Yang admitted it quite straightforwardly.
Seeing Xue Pinggui's face instantly stiffen, she let out a sigh of relief. She gently rubbed her belly and smiled. She said to herself, "Of course it's not yours. You don't deserve me to give birth to your child." As she spoke, she turned her back to him. "Don't worry, the world you fought for, I will protect it for you …"
Siyang turned her head and glanced at him. She pursed her lips and smiled. "After all, it will be my child's in the future."
"You, pu … cough cough …" Xue Pinggui was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He glared at Siyang.
However, the latter left the palace without looking back.
"Miss." Cui 'er saw Siyang come out. She had a strange expression on her face. "Someone just came to report that Princess Tuozan committed suicide in the prison."
"Yes." She nodded. Tuozan's death did not surprise her, but she was surprised that she was so straightforward.
"Miss's body is heavy. Let's go back to the palace." Cui 'er asked tentatively.
"Let's go."
