After some time, the door of the water dungeon opened slowly and Xiao Yunyi walked out expressionlessly in his red feathered armor. Most of the sticky blood on his body had been absorbed by the red cloak and there were only a few traces of blood on his face. In the hot summer wind, the fresh blood turned dark and gradually dried up, sticking to his face like scars.
The palace maids were shocked when they saw him and hurriedly bowed to present him with a silk handkerchief.
Xiao Yunyi stared at them, clenching his fists tightly as he pushed them away. Turning around, he walked under the long, winding corridor. Walking on the green and gold bricks, he stepped over the tall threshold and slowly walked in front of Cao Hou.
He bent his right knee and the tip of his knee touched the ground. His palm loosened and a piece of minced meat fell to the ground.
"Mother, Erchen has already dealt with her for you."
Staring at the minced meat, even Cao Hou was slightly surprised. "Who are you talking about, my son?"
"Ning Shu." Xiao Yunyi's face was as dark as an emotionless piece of wood. "Mother, please forgive Erchen for breaking into the water dungeon. Erchen broke all the bones in her limbs and cut off her tongue. From now on, she can no longer disobey Mother and be a stumbling block for you. "
Cao Hou raised his slender eyebrows and raised his eyelids as he asked with interest, "Are you serious? Can you bear to be so heartless?"
Xiao Yunyi's face twitched and he said fiercely, "Erchen was a little hesitant at first, but she was stubborn and even tried to assassinate me. Even if I kept such a woman, her heart wouldn't be with me. Since I can't have her, I might as well destroy her and be loyal to Mother. "
A light flashed in Cao Hou's eyes and he smiled. He got up and walked in front of him and patted his head. "How many times did Mother tell you that a person in power shouldn't be dragged down by love? Otherwise, you won't be able to achieve anything. But you didn't listen. Now you've finally realized it. Not bad, not bad. My son has finally grown up. You've done well in this matter. Mother is very happy, very happy! "
"Thank you for your praise, Mother. Your son will follow your lead in the future." Xiao Yunyi closed his eyes, rubbing his head against Empress Cao's palm affectionately before he continued to fawn over her. "Reporting to Mother, Erchen found out that Duan Changfeng left the capital alone and rushed towards the direction of Nan Jiang a few days ago. He seems to be investigating something."
Cao Hou narrowed his eyes. "Oh? Does my son know what to do? "
"Mother, don't worry. Erchen has already sent people to hunt him down. If necessary, Erchen will do it himself. He won't be able to bring anything back to the capital alive."
"Good, good, good. My son is getting smarter and smarter. He has the wisdom to rule the world in the future. It seems that Xiahou Qing still hasn't given up and is still vainly trying to fight like a cornered beast. In that case, I'll gift this tongue to him. This consort wants him to spend his final days living in complete darkness, living a life worse than death! "
Xiao Yunyi lowered his head obediently and replied, "Yes."
After kowtowing once more, he straightened his numb knees, bowed his head and respectfully left this dazzlingly gorgeous palace. He stepped over the threshold and walked out. The light and heat outside were like poison, so strong that he couldn't look directly at them. But he was like a bottomless pit, never able to absorb a trace of sunlight.
Outside the palace.
Xiahou Qing waited under the scorching sun for six hours. When the Golden Crows were covered, a vast expanse of dark clouds spread from the sky, domineering and tragic. After learning that Ning Shu had entered the palace without permission, he didn't have any second thoughts. His first thought was to enter the palace to see the Emperor. But no matter how many memorials he sent, His Majesty refused to see them and sent them back. Cao Hou was the same.
Seeing his pale face, the guards at the palace couldn't bear to persuade him. "Young Master, His Majesty and Her Majesty are tied up with official business and can't split themselves. It's impossible for them to summon you. Why don't you go back first?"
Xiahou Qing was as stubborn as a mountain. He shook his head under the palace's towering glazed eaves. "Today, I must see His Majesty."
When the last corner of the sky was completely swallowed by the dark clouds, Cao Hou finally sent someone to deliver something as if he was giving alms.
When Xiahou Qing opened the box and reached out to touch the bloody soft meat inside, his chest burned. His breathing stopped and he raised his head. "Pfff —"
A large mouthful of blood spurted out from his throat …
