Chapter 213 The Queen Mother's Regret, Gao Zhan's Madness

After moving Gao Changgong into his carriage, Xiao Jinyu didn't even look at the city where he had lived for nearly a year. He turned around and led the crowd to rush out of the city gate.

The wind in the first month of the year was still very cold when it hit her body, but she could no longer feel the cold outside. After getting into the carriage, she concentrated on checking the poison that Gao Changgong had been infected with!

At this moment, his eyes were closed, his hands and feet were cold, and only a trace of heartbeat and temperature could be detected in his chest.

What kind of poison is it that even the anti-poison pills can't resist?

As early as when they were in Yubi City, she had fed him an anti-poison pill because she was afraid that one day, the scene from her previous life would be repeated again!

I didn't expect that there was no poisoned wine given by Gao Wei, but there was still the Queen Mother...

Someone he believed was the best person to him in the entire Gao family!

"Ayu, can Changgong... still be saved?"

Seeing that she was in a daze for a long time without any action, Princess Liyang's heart sank gradually, and she asked in great fear.

Xiao Jinyu tightly clenched her hands, which were shaking uncontrollably, and said to Xie Yuxuan and Xiao Xian outside:

"Ah Xuan, Uncle Xian, let's go to the post station!"

"it is good!"

Just as this group of horses were galloping towards the Yecheng Post Station, another group of about 500 knights were rushing towards the Yecheng Post Station at lightning speed!

……

The imperial guards in Yecheng wanted to chase outside the city, but Prince Gao Rui of Zhao led his troops and stopped the imperial guards who had lost their command.

"Princess Lanling was just anxious to find her husband, and she had no intention of rebelling. The couple had already received an imperial decree to go to Shuozhou to take up their posts. How could Prince Lanling be poisoned? Who gave the order for this?"

Under Gao Rui's questioning, a guard of the Imperial Guard bowed his head and replied: "We are all ordered by Governor Han to come here to intercept and capture Princess Lanling!"

"Han Changluan, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards?"

"Yes!"

"Where is he?"

The guard pointed to the disgusting mess on the ground.

"right here!"

Gao Rui was completely stunned and dumbfounded: Oh my god! What could blow someone up like this?

"Your Highness, Prince Zhao, it was a fist-sized thing. When it landed on a person, it instantly shattered the person with a loud bang. If it weren't for Governor Han who underestimated the enemy and insisted on provoking Princess Lanling, we would have been affected and our lives would have been in danger!"

"Is there really such a thing?" Gao Rui's eyes showed a gleam of surprise and joy.

"Yes, Princess Lanling seems to call it thunder... thunder and fire bomb!"

Gao Rui pondered for a moment, then his face became solemn and he shouted loudly: "Han Changluan led the imperial guards to kill Prince Lanling and his princess without the imperial decree of His Majesty. This man's crime is unforgivable and his death is not a pity!"

"Come here, collect his body and report back to His Majesty!"

……

At this time, in Empress Dowager Lou's Chongde Hall, two eunuchs were lying on the ground and trembling in panic!

"Where are the people I asked you to bring back?"

Empress Dowager Lou had a stern face and looked very unhappy, and the two eunuchs were so scared that they burst into tears.

"The person is dead! Queen Mother, that is not a medicine that makes people lose their memory, it is a poison that takes people's lives!"

"The prince vomited a lot of blood. The blood was all black. I'm afraid it was..."

"I'm afraid it's too late now..."

With a whoosh, Empress Dowager Lou sat up in shock and rushed forward, grabbing the eunuch's collar, "What did you say? Are you lying to me?"

"I dare not, Queen Mother. It is precisely because I dare not deceive you that I tell you the truth..."

"What about him? Why didn't you bring him back? Bring him back, I'll ask the imperial physician to come and see him right away!"

"Your Majesty, he's gone! I asked for the imperial physician, but his guard refused, saying... he said that Your Majesty, you were going to kill him, so why did you bring him to the palace?"

"Queen Mother, they don't believe us anymore. They don't believe anything I say!"

"They've already left! They've gone very, very far!"

gone?

"Grandma, I have nothing else to do. I will take my leave now. I will come back to see you during the New Year holidays!"

"Grandson is gone, take care, grandma!"

She seemed to still be able to see the young man speaking with a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with admiration and longing for family affection whenever he looked at her since she was a child.

This child is the best behaved, and among all her grandchildren, he is also the best looking and the cutest!

Are you really gone?

Will I never come back after I leave?

No wonder she felt such pain in her heart!

No wonder it hurts so much!

Jiuzi, you deceived me so much! It's so painful!

You actually used me to kill my grandson!

At this time, Gao Yanzong also ran into Chongde Hall, crying and questioning her:

"Grandma, what did Fourth Brother do wrong? Why did you want to kill him? From childhood to adulthood, he did whatever you asked him to do, and went to war whenever you asked him to. He has never done anything to let the Gao family down, and he even made great contributions in the Mangshan Battle!

Just because he has made great contributions and his reputation has soared, do you think he has surpassed his master and want to kill him?"

No!

She didn't want to kill him!

have not thought!

Lou Zhaojun felt a buzzing in her head and a stuffy and painful chest. She couldn't catch her breath, her eyes went dark and she passed out!

……

Gao Zhan was still imagining what would happen when Han Changluan brought Xiao Jinyu to him?

In the past, his elder brother Gao Cheng wanted to take revenge on Gao Shen by forcing his wife Li Changyi to be his concubine, but Li Changyi refused. Later, Gao Shen was forced to rebel and was killed. His brother captured Li Changyi and asked her if she was willing to follow him. Li Changyi obeyed obediently!

The number of wives and concubines of ministers that my second brother Gao Yang had robbed was even more innumerable!

He believed that no matter how proud a woman was, she would eventually succumb under the pressure of power, so as long as Gao Changgong died, Xiao Jinyu would definitely be his!

And as time goes by, she will definitely realize how good he is!

Thinking of this, Gao Zhan couldn't help but smile, feeling proud. But at this moment, a guard from the imperial army came to report:

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhao has come and said he has something urgent to report!"

Hearing the words "Prince of Zhao", Gao Zhan frowned. Although Gao Rui was his uncle, he was about the same age as him. Before he ascended the throne, the two were playmates, but now they were almost enemies!

He dislikes Gao Rui very much!

Gao Rui came with a member of the imperial guards, Sima Du, who was holding a black box in his hand.

"What are you doing here? Where is Han Changluan?" Gao Zhan asked.

Gao Du replied: "Your Majesty, Han Changluan is in this black box!"

He then signaled Sima Du to open the box, pointed at the charred object in the box and said:

"This is one of his fingers! This one looks like a toe, and this one... should be half an ear..."

With a cry of "Wow", Gao Zhan's eyes rolled back and he began to vomit violently while holding onto the eunuch's hand. The eunuch was so frightened that he quickly asked someone to bring a spittoon!

"What are these things? Take them away from me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Gao Rui quickly ordered the Sima Du to cover the black box and retreat, then said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I think the thunder and fire bomb of Princess Lanling is very good. If it can be used by our Great Qi on the battlefield, we will surely be unstoppable in the future battles with the Zhou army or the Chen army. The unification of the world by our Great Qi is just around the corner!"

Gao Zhan was horrified: "You said that Han Changluan became like this because of Princess Lanling?"

"Yes!"

"How can she, a woman, handle this?"

"Your Majesty, Han Changluan secretly led the Imperial Guards to intercept Princess Lanling and attempted to murder Prince Lanling. This is a despicable act of framing a loyal and good person. Princess Lanling said that she did this to clear the emperor's side and punish the treacherous officials and villains! Therefore, Han Changluan's death is not a pity!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that Princess Lanling not only has outstanding medical skills and amazing intelligence, but also has unknown talents. She is truly a rare talent. Your Majesty must not let her down and let her be used by another country!"

Gao Zhan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by these words?"

Gao Rui then searched for a letter from his sleeve and said: "I have received a letter from the Pseudo-Zhou, saying that if Xie Zhen has nowhere to go, the ruler of the Pseudo-Zhou will send an envoy to welcome him, and welcome him with open arms!"

"Even the Grand Commander of Zhou, Wei Xiaokuan, highly respects her. This shows that Xie Zhen's talent has been recognized by the monarchs and princes of various countries. If our Qi State misses this good minister, we may have another powerful enemy in the future! The consequences are unimaginable!"

"If Xie Zhen was just a man, we would have no control over who he chose to serve. But fortunately, she is a woman, and she is married to Lanling Wang of Qi. If it weren't for Lanling Wang, I'm afraid she would never have served in Qi under the name of Xie Zhen, and she wouldn't have sent food and medicine for frostbite and knife wounds to the soldiers of Qi!"

"Your Majesty, this woman is actually very narrow-minded. She may serve in Qi for the sake of Lanling Wang and become a comrade of Qi's soldiers, but she may also become an enemy of Qi for the sake of Lanling Wang!"

"So, Your Majesty, please think twice! Let her and Lanling King go! Don't chase them anymore!"

Every word of Gao Rui exploded like thunder in Gao Zhan's mind. To sum it up in one sentence: let her and Lanling King go!

Why should you let it go?

He just wants a woman, is it that difficult?

"Get out, get out!"

Gao Rui was stunned, and realized that there was no point in saying more, so he bowed and left Zhaoyang Palace.

Gao Zhan turned around and grabbed He Shikai. His face was ferocious and extremely scary. He Shikai was so scared that his face turned pale.

"Didn't you say that this time it would be foolproof? What bad idea did you give me?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely safe. Prince Lanling will definitely not survive. This poison was left by Lu Lingxuan. She created it, and even Xiao Luan couldn't cure it. How old is Xiao Jinyu? Can she compare to her mother Xiao Luan?"

"I don't care whether Lanling Wang lives or dies. I have only one goal, which is to bring Xiao Jinyu to my side!"

"Go check for me and see where they are now."

"Yes!"

An hour later, the sent out guards came back and reported:

"Your Majesty, Princess Lanling and her group of people have settled down at the Yecheng Post Station. They are making fire, cooking, boiling water, and decocting medicine there, as if they were treating it as their own home..."

"What about the people in the Yecheng Post Station? Are they all dead?"

"They didn't die, but they all became her captives, being ordered around like slaves!"

Gao Zhan was speechless for a moment, and yelled at him to get out, then asked his attendants, "Who will bring Princess Lanling back to me?"

He directed his gaze towards He Shikai.

He Shikai was so frightened that he trembled all over. He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I can't do this! I am a civil official and have never led soldiers to fight in a war! I definitely can't bring back Princess Lanling!"

Gao Zhan's face darkened.

He Shikai changed the subject again: "However, I can still recommend someone to Your Majesty!"

"Who?"

"Cudifulian!"

……

In the Yecheng Post Station, under the arrangement of Xie Yuxuan and Xiao Xian, the people in the post station quickly cleared out a room as a place for Xiao Jinyu to treat Gao Changgong and force out the poison.

Bucket after bucket of hot water was carried in, and then bucket after bucket of black water was carried out.

This back and forth cycle lasted for a whole night, and it was not until noon of the next day that the water that was taken out became clear.

Princess Liyang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The tears in her red eyes had dried up, and she was replaced by a look of surprise and relief.

"Is Chang Gong saved? Did A Yu cure him?"

"Don't worry, Madam. The young master of the Xiao family was also poisoned in the past, and the disease had penetrated into his bones for many years. The young lady cured him. The prince will be fine, he will be fine!" Lu Yu advised the guard.

Xiao Xian and Xie Yuxuan were more worried about Xiao Jinyu. She had been sleepless for a whole day and night, and they wondered if Ah Yu's body could hold on.

Nearly two hours later, Xiao Jinyu came out of the room.

Xiao Xian was the first to rush forward and hold her arm, but he felt even more distressed when he saw that her face was pale.

"I have forced all the poison out of Chang Gong's body, but he is still very weak due to excessive blood loss. He needs some medicinal herbs to recover his vitality... Bring me a pen and paper, I will write the prescription, you guys boil the medicine for him and help me take care of him..."

Lu Yu nodded and ran into the room immediately.

Princess Liyang was delighted: "Good! Good! But, Ah Yu, why do you look so bad?"

Ah Xiu brought paper and pen, but when she handed them to Xiao Jinyu, she couldn't even hold the pen steadily and almost fell down.

It was Xiao Xian who helped her up in time.

"Ayu, stop writing. You've given me a prescription for nourishing the body before. I know it. I'll write it!"

"Okay, I'll sleep for a while. I might sleep longer this time, so don't worry too much. If Chang Gong has any problem, wake me up immediately!"

"Okay, go to sleep!"

Xiao Xian picked up Xiao Jinyu and wanted to take her to the room to rest. At this time, Xie Yuxuan saw something and screamed in fright:

"Wait, what happened to Sister? She's bleeding so much!"

Everyone looked over at the same time, and Xiao Xian realized that his body was stained with her blood, so he took her pulse.

Princess Liyang turned even paler.

"Could it be that Ah Yu..."

Xiao Xian continued: "She has been pregnant for nearly two months, but now..."

"What? The young lady is pregnant, why didn't she tell us earlier?" Madam Wei was also surprised.

Ah Xiu then started to cry, "The princess said that the fetus is unstable, and she has been using medicine to protect it. She wants to wait until it is stable before telling the prince..."

"So the medicine she drank before was an abortion-preserving medicine?"

Thinking of this, Xie Yuxuan and Princess Liyang felt even more sad. For a moment, everyone's hearts were filled with gloom and sorrow.

Just at this moment, there was a chaotic sound outside the post station, as if soldiers were arriving.

"I'll take care of A Yu, you guys take care of the prince. Ling Ye, go and see what's going on outside?" Xiao Xian ordered.
