The Kaiser frowned in pain as he kneeled in front of the empress dowager. "Muhou, Rong Er doesn't have much more than a few months to live."

The empress dowager looked surprised, but calmed down soon after. "Wailing Home couldn't withstand those few lashes either?"

"Rong Er, she …"

Kaiser frowned and said with difficulty: "Rong Er was poisoned."

This time, the empress dowager's expression changed a little too much. "You suspect that Wailing Home poisoned her?"

Yan Shuo closed his eyes and shook his head, "Imperial Mother wouldn't do that."

Yan Shuo's words finally made the empress dowager's expression turn slightly better. "At least you haven't been completely bewitched by that woman."

Yan Shuo still knelt in front of the empress dowager with a mournful expression. "Imperial Mother, this son came to ask you to let Rong Er go this time, so we can accompany her properly."

"No way!"

The empress dowager rejected him right away. "The more lifeless she is, the more desperate she will be in making a move on you. How can Wailing Home let you take any more risks?"

Before Kaiser could speak, the empress dowager laughed coldly and said, "She is Tutor Yun's daughter. Wailing Home suspects now that she is not his daughter, but someone from the previous dynasty."

Yan Shuo's expression, because of the empress dowager's words, had slightly changed. The empress dowager's eyes were always fixed on his face.

A wise son should not be a mother. Kaiser's reaction already made the empress dowager understand that her guess was right.

The empress dowager's eyes lowered slightly in fear. "The Wailing Home got it, didn't he?"

Yan Shuo pursed his lips and did not speak, he only knelt in front of the empress dowager and kowtowed once more.

"You …"

Right now, she only wanted to kill Yun Jiao Rong, but as the son of an idiot, she kneeled in front of him and begged her to grant his wish.

"What do you want to do with the Wailing Home?"

Her voice had softened a bit, but her expression was still displeased.

"I want Rong Er as my backing."

"No way!"

The empress dowager's face flushed red from anger. "First, you asked Wailing Home to spare her life, but now you're asking him to allow you to pick her up? Do you know what you're doing? "

"Earlier, Wailing Home had already fulfilled your wish. If you like her, Wailing Home would let you marry her, but what did she do to you? She poisoned you, and your reputation was almost ruined. He's a descendant of the previous dynasty, and you still want to marry her.

As soon as she finished speaking, the empress dowager felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

"Muhou!"

Yan Shuo kneeled in front of the empress dowager and supported her with his arms. His expression did not change, but he was firm enough to make the empress dowager angry, "You are now a Kaiser, do you think that the empress dowager can't control you now? If that's the case, marry her, but don't think that Wailing Home can recognize her as his daughter-in-law. "

With that, the empress dowager fainted in front of Kaiser.

"Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother! "

Yan Shuo went forward and helped the empress dowager lie down on the bed. "Someone, pass on the message to the imperial physician!"

The imperial physician arrived very quickly and heaved a sigh of relief after helping the empress dowager out of her pulse. Fortunately, it wasn't some sort of malady or else their heads wouldn't have been large enough for the emperor to chop off.

"How is the Empress Dowager?"

"To reply your majesty, Esteemed Empress Dowager only fainted because of a burning heart. This lowly servant will prescribe a few sets of medicine for Esteemed Empress Dowager and everything will be fine."

"I understand. You can leave now."

Dong Xue stood at the side, carefully attending to the empress dowager. Seeing the empress dowager's face turn from red to white, Yan Shuo's face was filled with guilt and self-blame.

He knew that her mother was worried about him and felt injustice for him, but Rong Er had carried his child. Now, that child's life and death was still unknown, he did not want to let Rong Er down.

Dong Xue looked at him, although she did not know what the mother and son talked about, but the empress dowager had fainted from anger, so this matter must definitely be related to Yun Jiao Rong.

"Your majesty, there's a servant watching over the empress dowager. Why don't you go back first? She's angry right now, so she won't listen to anything you say. Why don't we wait until the empress dowager's angered?"

Yan Shuo frowned, after a while, he nodded his head, "Take good care of mother, We will leave first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On the other side, Liu Ruo Qing who was being held captive by Liu Qian Xun, couldn't escape the old man's sight at all.

On this day, the old man returned from the outside and Liu Ruo Qing quickly walked in front of him, "Master, how long are you going to keep me locked up for?"

Although she wasn't restricted from entering this place, those who didn't understand formations and weren't able to leave were simply unable to do anything about it, whether they entered from the outside or exited from the inside.

Sometimes, Liu Ruo Qing even thought that she should not have listened to the old man and learnt everything. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been locked up in such a passive place.

Liu Qian Xun glanced at her, his voice low as he said: "Let's go now."

"Master, are you going to let me go?"

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked in front of Liu Qian Xun.

He coldly looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Follow me to the northwest."

"To the northwest? What are you going to do in the Northwest? "

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Liu Qian Xun warily, and then remembered that Mo Rong Tian's two hundred thousand strong army had all gathered in the northwest direction. The old man had brought her there, it was nothing more than to threaten Yan Yuan.

She thought for a moment, then looked at Liu Qian Xun and said: "Master, even if you use me to threaten Yan Yuan, you can only threaten Yan Yuan alone. The court will lead troops, and not just Yan Yuan, the Kaiser has six kings and eight kings, and many generals, do you really think that this method will work?"

Hearing this, Liu Qian Xun didn't have any special reaction, he merely looked at her and let out a cold laugh. Although Liu Ruo Qing didn't know what the old man's cold laughter meant, his intuition told her that the old man had guessed wrongly that he wanted to use her to threaten Yan Yuan.

Liu Ruo Qing led Liu Ruo Qing northwest. Along the way, she tried to escape several times, but was stopped by Liu Qian Xun in advance.

"You were taught by me, so I know even better than you what abilities you have. If I find out that you still have thoughts of escaping, you will never see Yan Yuan again in this life!"

With a cold face, Liu Qian Xun directly said those fierce words to her.

Liu Ruo Qing was furious, but sshe had no other choice, even if she took the chance when he was not looking, he would still capture her. Her only hope now, was that Mo Rong Tian would let her go when the time came.

No matter how she looked at it, Mo Rong Tian did not seem like a despicable person who would use women to threaten his enemies.

And at this time, the people who were heading to the northwest at the same time were also Meng Hui. In order to meet Mo Rong Tian earlier, she asked him to release Liu Ruo Qing, and after she had set out from the capital, she did not stop for the night nor did she stop for the rest of the journey. Along the way, they shared meals and slept soundly.
