Chapter 108: Fright Night
The Xuan Shi Hall was brightly lit, and Xiao Yan did not stop. He was waiting for news. He sent Qin Su to Feixia Hall tonight, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would have succeeded.
Not long after, when he saw Qin Su appearing in Xuanshi Hall with Xiao Qingyue, who is still alive, he was a little confused.
At this moment, there was no one in the hall except Sun Ruhai, the chief supervisor who served beside him. Xiao Qingyue said nothing. After entering the hall, she knelt respectfully on the ground, and kowtowed a few times to the man she had called her father for nearly twenty years.
At this time, Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the upper seat, couldn't help but wonder even more, thinking, was this move meant to beg him to spare her life?
At this time, the man who was still kneeling on the ground raised his head slightly, looked at the mighty man in the hall with a calm expression, and called out.
"Father..."
With this call, he couldn't help but startle the people in the palace again. He wanted to see what trick she was going to play!
Xiao Qingyue didn't care what kind of eyes Xiao Yan would look at her at this moment. She was here to make a break today. After all, this person has raised her for so many years, and she also called his father for so many years. He is unkind, but she cannot be unrighteous... Those heads just now were regarded as thanking him for his raising for so many years...
He continued with neither sadness nor joy, "Father, this is the last time I call you Father. I know that you only want me to die now, but before I die, I have a request! I hope it will be fulfilled!"
Although Xiao Yan still smiled seriously on the surface, he couldn't help but replied, "What's the requirement?"
"Please give Qingyue an imperial edict to avoid death, and spare the people serving in Feixia Palace!" After saying that, he leaned respectfully on the ground. Nothing is more effective than a gold medal for avoiding death.
Xiao Yan thought she would beg her to let her go. Unexpectedly, it was time to go, and she was still thinking about those slaves, not knowing whether to laugh at her stupidity or her naiveness.
After pondering for a while, those servants were not very threatening, and they would just be sent to other places to do hard labor.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan agreed, "Okay! I promised your last request!" This is also the end of kindness and righteousness.
This time, Xiao Yan was very happy, and then began to draft the imperial edict to avoid death. After stamping it with a large seal, he asked Sun Guihai to rush to Feixia Palace directly.
After seeing all this, Xiao Qingyue lost the last ties in her heart...
All the ones that should be paid back were also paid back, all of Xiao Youyu's and Xiao Nanfeng's... She had already made the determination to die before she came!
At this time, she looked at Qin Su who was standing respectfully on the side and said, "General Qin, let's do it!"
Qin Su then looked at the person sitting in the hall and waited for instructions...
The man at the seat frowned, his old face was very complicated. After a moment, he turned his head and waved his hand to give an order.
Seeing this, Qin Su walked towards the kneeling man with a sword. Although hesitated, he had to obey the order.
At this time, the kneeling man had slowly closed his eyes and put his palm on his heart. There was something given to her by the man she loved the most. As long as she died, everything would be over, and Xiao Nanfeng would no longer take risks for her...
I hope that in the next life, he will be his husband and I will be his wife. The moon will move with the wind and the love will last forever...
I started my hand and saw the sword falling down, just now...
"Bang!" The gate of Xuan Shi Hall was pushed open vigorously from outside, and then a figure rushed in and shouted urgently, "Stop it!!"
This sudden change interrupted what was originally intended to be executed.
Xiao Yan unconsciously stood up from the table, looked at the person coming in, stroked his chest and gasped, and he asked, "What are you doing!"
The person who came walked over quickly and protected the person kneeling on the ground and asked, "Why is the emperor untrustworthy?" Seeing the sword he raised just now, if she had taken one step later, the sword would fall on Xiao Qingyue!
Xiao Yan's face had become a little severe at this moment. How could Xiao Youyu know that Xiao Qingyue is in Xuan Shi Hall and said a little unhappy, "You retreat quickly!" Now is a great time to kill Xiao Qingyue!
Xiao Youyu simply knelt down, wrapped her hands around the shoulders of the people beside her, protected her in her arms, and said, "Master! How can you go back on your word!"
"Random!" Xiao Yan was a little angry! How could a remnant of the previous dynasty let the tiger return to the mountain? Since ancient times, any king who involves the previous dynasty has no mercy!
At this time, Xiao Qingyue reached out and pulled it gently, surrounded her person, shook her head slightly to signal her not to have a conflict with Xiao Yan.
Because of this action, Xiao Youyu couldn't help but hug the people tighter and said sternly. "If you want to kill, even I will kill them together!"
When Xiao Yan heard this, his face became more and more ugly. Why didn’t he notice it before? Xiao Youyu’s temperament was very similar to him. At this time, it was urgent. He could no longer let Xiao Youyu ruin his affairs.
He shouted at the Imperial Guard outside the hall, "Come on! Take Princess Jade down!"
Then the two imperial guards quickly entered the hall and followed the instructions, and came up and forced apart the two people who were hugging each other at this time.
Xiao Youyu grabbed Xiao Qingyue's clothes tightly and refused to let go. Xiao Qingyue was confused for a moment, and she said with tears in her eyes. "Youyu! Let go! If you can forgive me, I will die without regrets! We will be sisters in the next life!"
This sentence made Xiao Youyu's eyes turn red in an instant. The light of the two of them playing together in Feixia Palace quickly flashed through their minds! There was even a voice in their hearts shouting, "Save her!" Must save her!
Xiao Yan, who was angrily shooting his eyes at all, shouted in desperation, "Father!! You Yu begs you to let Qingyue go!! If you deal with her, I will hate you for the rest of your life!"
This loud shout stunned the king's master! Xiao Yan subconsciously raised his hand to stop the Imperial Guard's actions!
Seeing that Xiao Youyu stopped, he quickly broke free from the clamp and came back to Xiao Qingyue's side. The father, who had never been able to say, played a key role in opening his mouth.
Xiao Yan seemed to have not come back to his senses from that call. He thought he would never hear Xiao Youyu call him "Father" in his life. After all, he had treated her like that.
At this time, Xiao Youyu tried hard to calm down his excitement. Although this person was his biological father, he was different from ordinary families. He was the highest king of power and must not fight head-on.
As she quickly sorted out her thoughts, she slowed down her tone and called out again, "Father" brought back the person who had not yet come back to reality.
Seeing that his face seemed to be gradually slowing down, Xiao Youyu said softly, "Youyu knows his father's concerns, and knows that his father is not willing to take ruthlessness in his heart, but his father also knows that Qingyue has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she has no other identity background in Jiankang. Now that you have let her marry far away, why can't you let her have a way out?"
This sentence hit Xiao Yan's heart. This matter in the previous dynasty has always been a taboo. Letting her go out of the palace was undoubtedly a fatal weapon, and he had to be careful.
Seeing that his face relaxed a little, Xiao Youyu continued to work hard, "Father, you have agreed to marry the Northern Wei Dynasty. If you kill Qingyue now, what should you do if you marry the Northern Wei Dynasty? Do you want to marry Youyu to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
The Northern Wei was far away from Jiankang, with high mountains and long roads, and the road was difficult and dangerous. However, the Northern Wei was a horse-like nation, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and was even more good at fighting. If this time it made the Northern Wei unhappy...
If it were someone else, Xiao Yan might not have listened to it. It was just that this was from Xiao Youyu. He only wanted to get rid of Xiao Qingyue, but he had never thought about marriage. If Xiao Qingyue was really executed, who would marry him? The Northern Wei royal family was not easy to fool, and they could not marry someone to make up for their own numbers. What's more, the Northern Wei emperor Tuoba Xun was almost in his sixties, so he naturally would not marry his daughter...
When Xiao Yan thought of this, he hesitated again. Although Xiao Youyu just wanted to save Xiao Qingyue's life, these words were very reasonable. He couldn't help but look at her with admiration today.
Finally, Xiao Youyu's words temporarily successfully convinced Xiao Yan...
When they walked out of Xuanshi Hall, Xiao Qingyue and Xiao Youyu were still in shock! The two of them held each other's hands tightly, as if they were comforting each other.
Xiao Youyu did not let Xiao Qingyue go back to Feixia Palace, but took her to Haitang Palace. Xiao Yan was repeatedly and suspicious, and if his ideas changed, he would be troublesome if he sent someone to kill Xiao Qingyue.
When the two returned to the back of the Haitang Palace, Xiao Qingyue realized that it was Xiao Youyu who was looking for Ran Yu and told Xiao Youyu about her going to Xuanshi Palace. Just now, she was only one step away from her, and she became a dead soul under the sword, no matter how she was ready to die. Now that she thought about it, Xiao Qingyue was still sweating.
Xiao Youyu was even more fortunate in her heart that she finally saved Xiao Qingyue once. Xiao Qingyue has been protecting her for so many years, and today she finally protected her once.
This night was extremely thrilling but also without any danger. The heavy fog that fell for the next day disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Qingyue repeatedly told Ran Yu not to tell Xiao Nanfeng what happened last night, but even if Ran Yu didn't go to inform him, he would tell Xiao Nanfeng about the incident, and in the end he would still let him know about it.
After getting off the court, Xiao Nanfeng went directly to Haitang Palace. At this time, a nameless fire in his heart was burning. Along the way, some maids at the prison were frightened to retreat when they saw the storm coming, and they were all guessing who dared to provoke the Sixth Prince so angry.
The servants outside the Haitang Palace saw the man with a gloomy face and knelt all over the ground. No one dared to stop him, let alone enter the palace to report.
At this time, Xiao Qingyue was resting in Xiao Youyu's room, while Xiao Youyu was cooking medicinal food in the hall. Xiao Qingyue's body seemed to have not healed yet. After such trouble, she was afraid that her body would not be able to bear it.
So he took out some of the body-tonifying medicines that Su Xing specially prepared for her before, and cooked them for Xiao Qingyue and took them.
Seeing the man who was coming here for dust, she didn't find it strange. What happened so big that she could hide it from others last night, but she could not hide it from this man.
Xiao Youyu just saluted respectfully and told the visitor directly, "Qingyue is in my room, the prince invites you." It was useless for her to stop him. Now she knows that this person is not Xiao Qingyue's uncle. Since they are in love, why don't she do it?
Xiao Nanfeng glanced at her lightly, said two words for the first time, "Thank you" and went straight into the inner hall.
