"It's not like you have a saint engraved on your face, who knows …" Cai Die still stuck to me.
"What do you want?" Duan Xingyi clenched his fists. He wouldn't feel wronged when he couldn't take it anymore.
"Naturally, it's your responsibility!" Cai Die blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Duan Xingyi with a pitiful expression.
"I'll marry you … "Ugh …" Before Duan Xingyi could finish speaking, Cai Die's flying fist had already reached his eyes.
"Cai Die!" Duan Xingyi finally exploded!
"That... Don't misunderstand me. I mean, you can pay me more money or something to comfort my wounded heart... "Haha …" Cai Die wiped off her cold sweat. Although Duan Xingyi was a genius with a beautiful appearance, peerless in his generation and unparalleled in the world, he was still lacking a bit compared to the Palace Mistress. She wholeheartedly wanted to go to the Moon Splendor Hall.
"You! You married me and you feel wronged? " Duan Xingyi was naturally not in the mood to marry Cai Die, but Cai Die's reaction was too hurtful.
"Cough, cough …" Cai Die was afraid that she might have wronged Young Master Yi … " Cai Die was modest on the surface, but she didn't think that way in her heart.
"Speak!" Is that person real or fake!? " Duan Xingyi couldn't bear it any longer and viciously looked at Cai Die.
"Then, the silver you agreed to give to the Moon Flower Hall …" Cai Die laughed as she spoke.
"Ten thousand taels of gold!" In any case, it was the Great Mo's silver, so he would come up with a reason to take it out from the treasury. Cai Die heard this and her eyes became ten times bigger, ten thousand taels of gold? That was a year's worth of income for the Moon Palace! He didn't expect Duan Xingyi to be so generous!
"Where is that person …" It's true! It's absolutely true! " Cai Die thought that she was a very trustworthy person, since she had already agreed to Meng Yan's request, she would not go back on her word. Moreover, with Meng Yan's current disguise, if she did not use her hands to cover her face, no one would have noticed.
"Are you sure?" Duan Xingyi suspiciously looked at Cai Die. If it was true, then why would she hide her voice? Furthermore, from what Leng Bing Xin said, her voice was much better than it was now, so there was no need for this.
"If Young Master Yi doesn't believe me, you can go back to the Spring Festival and spend the night with Meng Yan. It will naturally be made clear …" Cai Die resentfully said.
"Enough …" "You can go back now …" Duan Xingyi didn't even want to look at Cai Die.
"You didn't really go, did you? I heard that Miss Meng Yan is not selling herself to others, but it can't be that you want to force yourself on her, right? " Cai Die blabbered nonstop around Duan Xingyi, she didn't have any intention of returning. She didn't want Duan Xingyi to know that she was lying to him so soon. She wanted to wait for the ten thousand taels of gold at least to come in.
"You can leave now!" Duan Xingyi's voice was icy cold and his eyes emitted a cold light.
"Cough, cough …" Then ten thousand gold? " Cai Die choked, and continued speaking, unafraid of death.
"I will deliver it to the Moon Flower Palace in three days!" Duan Xingyi's eyes were spewing fire and his fists were also making gurgling sounds. Cai Die shrugged her shoulders and turned around, quickly disappearing before Duan Xingyi's eyes.
Looking at the direction that Cai Die disappeared in, Duan Xingyi was puzzled. Just where did that Meng Yan come from? Was he being paranoid? Or was there some kind of mystery behind it?
Not long after Duan Xingyi left, Yao'er returned to the Yichun courtyard and brought a forty-something year old woman from the back door of the courtyard to the woodshed at the back. After reporting to Duan Mu Yan, she covered her face with a veil and stepped into the woodshed.
"Miss, she is here." Yao'er replied coolly. Then he looked at the woman.
"You … Who are you... Do you have a way to save my old master? " The woman was dressed plainly and her eyes were filled with hope.
"You don't have to care who I am. If you want to beg Qi Hu, you have to do as I say." Duan Mu Yan stood upright in front of the woman as he solemnly spoke.
"Listen!" Listen! As long as you are able to save my old master, I am willing to sacrifice everything! " Hearing her, the woman fell to her knees with a thump and fiercely kowtowed to Duan Mu Yan. Duan Mu Yan was speechless. He turned his gaze to Yao'er, who understood Chu Feng's intentions and hurriedly helped her up.
"Madame, don't worry. I've never thought of taking your family's property. However, this matter is somewhat risky and requires your approval. I have a seventy percent chance of success, but if I fail, Qi Hu will definitely die." She wanted to save Qi Hu very much, but he also needed a certain amount of time and place.
"You... "You mean …" The woman looked worriedly at Duan Mu Yan, feeling extremely apprehensive in her heart.
"Madam, if we do nothing, Qi Hu will definitely be sentenced to death. Now, the Ministry of Justice has found new evidence against General Qihu. Once this evidence is submitted to the Emperor, there will be no return to the throne. We can only make a move now to let Qi Hu escape, but this plan might not be perfect. If we make a mistake on the way, you know the consequences. If you agree, we will arrange everything today, and if you don't agree, then treat it as you have never seen me before! " Qing Yue's voice was solemn. This matter was of utmost importance, and without the cooperation of Madam Qi Hu, it would have been difficult for his to achieve perfection.
"This... I will listen to you! If he is not saved, then my husband will not die. I am willing to give him a chance to live! " The woman wiped her tears and spoke resolutely.
"Since that's the case, listen to me, madame. No matter what happens next, I will treat it as ignorance. Otherwise, the Qi family might be annihilated!" Duan Mu Yan instructed.
"I understand! I will not mention today's matter to anyone, even if it is my son, I will not reveal even half a word! " The woman vowed.
"Yao'er, tell my lady my plan." Duan Mu Yan glanced at Yao'er before turning to leave, she didn't want to arouse anyone's suspicions.
At first, she thought it wouldn't be difficult to get rid of the Five Rock Powder, but on the second day, Xiao Yuxuan almost went mad and rushed out in search of the Five Rock Powder. Duan Zitong stopped her, but she was slapped down by him, and he didn't even ask who she was.
Helpless, she could only order her men to tie Xiao Yuxuan tightly to the bed. No matter how much he yelled, she wouldn't let him near her.
"Princess …" As soon as Qing Lan took some soothing medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Zheng, she saw Duan Zitong leaning against the door with empty eyes and a conflicted expression on her face. Xiao Yuxuan was still roaring inside, his voice hoarse like a broken gong. Qing Lan helped Duan Zitong up and looked at the door without saying a word.
"Qing Lan, what medicine is this? Can you ease Yuxuan's pain? " Duan Zitong held up the bowl of life-saving medicinal soup, her eyes slowly brimming with radiance.
"Princess... "Imperial Physician Zheng said that these are only supplementary medicine. It's just that during this time, Prince Consort's body won't be harmed in the slightest, and it won't alleviate any of his pain." Qing Lan lowered her eyes. The bitterness in her eyes was gone.
"Then what should we do? Clear Orchid? Was there really no other way? Why did he want to ruin me so much? Was he so unbearable being together with me? To go to such extremes? "Is he punishing himself or punishing me …" This was the first time that Qinglan had ever seen Duan Zitong cry so helplessly. In her opinion, Duan Zitong might not be a good person, but to Xiao Yuxuan, he truly meant it. It was a pity that she was merciless when it came down to it, but if they forced each other to stay together, both of them would suffer.
"Princess, stop thinking about these things. It's better to feed these medicine to the Prince Consort. Otherwise, his body will collapse from the poison." Qing Lan didn't know how to comfort him. In reality, this was simply Duan Zitong harming someone.
When she arrived at the door, she suddenly felt Xiao Yuxuan's voice slowly grow softer. Her heart thumped, and she abruptly pushed open the door. When she saw Xiao Yuxuan on the bed, she was stunned, and her heart beat so hard that she couldn't breathe.
With a "pa" sound, the porcelain bowl in Duan Zitong's hand fell to the ground. In the next second, she rushed towards Xiao Yuxuan like a madman, only to see his lips continuously bleeding. Dark red blood slowly flowed down his face, shocking everyone!
"Qing Lan …" Clear Orchid! Go get a doctor! "Go quickly …" How could Qinglan dare to be slow? She rushed out of the Phoenix Storage Pavilion, and the moment she turned around, tears began to flow out of her eyes. She had never felt such a heartache in her life before, even the pain of being humiliated by Qian Ru could not even compare to one ten thousandth of what she currently felt.
When Zheng Tingze arrived at the Phoenix Storage Pavilion with injuries, Xiao Yuxuan's complexion had already turned as pale as paper!
"Imperial Physician! Look... "What happened to Yu Xuan?" He couldn't afford to leave Xiao Yuxuan behind. He had done so much for this man, and he didn't want to exchange it for an ice-cold corpse. Without another word, Zheng Tingze immediately took out a life-saving pill from the medicine box and fed it to Xiao Yuxuan. At this moment, Xiao Yuxuan was unconscious.
Seeing Xiao Yu Xuan tightly tied to the bed, Zheng Ting Ze couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Princess, about the matter of detoxifying, Prince Consort must be willing to do so. Since you're tying him up like this, it's hard for him not to act too aggressively. Prince Consort Ma must have bitten his tongue in a fit of anxiousness. If he discovered this just a moment ago, how could Prince Consort have a life for him …" Zheng Tingze looked at Xiao Yuxuan with a pained expression. It was truly heaven's will to mess with others. Originally, they were a good couple, but they had each ended up in dire straits. He really didn't know why the heavens had chosen them …
"But …" But if we do not tie him up, and he goes to absorb the Five Stones Powder, can we still get rid of this poison? " There was really nothing Duan Zitong could do. She could only come up with this plan.
"Sigh …" "Even if we tie up Prince Consort's horse, at least there will be people watching. Otherwise, this humble subject won't be able to guarantee that Prince Consort won't be so lucky next time …" Zheng Tingze understood this kind of liquid Five Rock Powder. Other than relying on the willpower of the devourer, there was no better way.
"Imperial Physician! Think of a way! Not as good as... "It's better to have the prince consort slowly detoxify himself. If he goes on like this, how can he stand it …" Duan Zitong's eyes turned misty as he looked at the unconscious Xiao Yuxuan on the bed with heartache.
"Princess, stop deceiving yourself. There isn't much difference between those two. If you touch even a little bit of that, it will make you want to die. However, Prince Consort Ma really can't do anything. Unless he takes the initiative to call for a reprimand, someone will die sooner or later …" He had yet to tell Duan Mu Yan about this matter. Firstly, Duan Mu Yan should be worried about Qi Hu these days, and secondly, so what if he told Duan Mu Yan about it? Would Duan Zitong allow his to get close to Xiao Yu Xuan?
