After waking up from his coma, Xiahou Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. He supported himself with both hands by the side of the bed and forced himself up. Jiusi and the others knew that as long as he wanted to do something, no one could stop him. It was the same now. So even if they had tears in their eyes, they still chose to endure it and followed his wishes. They prepared the carriage and sent him to Prince Ke's residence.
In just a short month, Xiao Minglan, who used to be high-spirited, was now so haggard that only a skeleton was left. He was wrapped in a pile of brocade and gold robes. His eyes were dark and he reeked of alcohol. He lived like a wandering ghost. Ghosts were afraid of being exposed to light, so every door and window in the Prince's Mansion was tightly shut. It was gloomy and dark, and not a single ray of light could pass through. In this scorching summer, there was an eerie chill.
When Xiahou Qing forced his way in, Xiao Minglan was stung by the sudden light. He cried out in pain and subconsciously turned around to cover his face. After a while, he slowly raised his head stiffly and recognized the paper-thin figure in the light. "Ah … it's Heir Xiahou. Why are you here? Hahaha, good, very good. Finally, someone is here to drink with me. It just so happens that my wine jar has just been opened. Come quickly! "
He laughed awkwardly for a while before he realized, "Eh? Heir Xiahou, why do you look so pale? Did something happen? "
Xiahou Qing took a deep breath of the cold air in the room. He suppressed the overwhelming pain caused by the churning of his internal organs and said hoarsely, "Xiao Shu has fallen into the hands of the Empress."
Xiao Minglan mumbled, "Ah, that's not good. That person … she is very vengeful. You have greatly offended her. I'm afraid that girl won't be able to live. But it's also good. You won't be able to live, I won't be able to live, everyone won't be able to live. Then let's die together. It's good to die, it's good to die. We can start all over again. Haha … This dirty flesh, this stinky soul, it's probably the best thing in the world to cut them all off and start all over again. "
Xiao Minglan held the wine jar as she staggered back and forth in the empty hall. She laughed maniacally, as if her last bit of rationality had disappeared along with something. The more he laughed, the crazier he became, almost causing the sky to collapse. Xiahou Qing's face was cold as he followed the sound and grabbed his neck.
Xiao Minglan's laughter stopped abruptly when her neck was suddenly locked. Xiao Hongyan rushed forward to stop her but was forcefully stopped by Jiusi. Xiao Minglan's breathing stopped and his face was filled with blood. He desperately rolled his eyes and waved his arms until he thought that he would be strangled to death by Xiahou Qing. Then, the hand that was clamping him mercifully let go and pushed him onto the cold couch at the side.
He lay on the cold couch for a long time before he finally managed to breathe again. At the same time, he also managed to regain some of his rationality.
In front of him, Xiahou Qing's voice was as cold as a piece of ice that would not melt for ten thousand years. One look at it and one would be frozen. He said, "If Grand Prince wants to die, I will not stop you. But Xiao Shu, it's impossible. I don't have the leisure to pretend to be polite with Grand Prince. Today, I'm here for one thing — What was the truth that you hid back then? Please tell me everything! "
Xiao Minglan held onto his neck that was still throbbing in pain and laughed dryly. "What truth? What are you talking about? I've already told you everything I know the last time. I didn't hide anything. Nothing, nothing …"
"Is that so?" Xiahou Qing had never been so cruel before. However, at this moment, he had no choice but to turn himself into an executioner and reveal the most unspeakable truth. "Then, what about Princess Helui's background?"
When this short sentence came out, Xiao Minglan's eyelids twitched and he became a walking corpse. The blood in his body was no longer warm. The walking corpse lunged at Xiahou Qing like a madman, his eyes bloodshot. He only wanted to cover Xiahou Qing's mouth tightly so that he would never be able to speak. But he was still a step too late. Some secrets, no matter how hard they were hidden, would eventually be revealed to the world one day.
Even if it had already been covered with pus and smelly.
Xiahou Qing said in a low voice, "The cause of Princess Helui's death was not because of love or revenge, which was widely spread in the streets. It was a secret that none of you can say. She was the flesh and blood of Great Elder Princess and Grand Prince, right?"
The world in front of Xiao Minglan collapsed in an instant.
