Xuanyuan Mingzhao's sudden voice frightened the Empress Dowager and her party to the point where their hands and feet went weak, and they immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Xuanyuan Mingzhao stopped in front of them and said to Xuanyuan Mingfeng beside him: "General Ming, hold the lamp."

There was a sound of wind, and fires lit up on both sides of the secret passage. It turned out that there were braziers on the walls.

Xuanyuan Mingzhao ignored the people kneeling on the ground, walked to Sikong Qingying, and looked at his face carefully: "Xiaoying, are you okay?"

Sikong Qingying was finally relieved. Today was too exciting. Every surprise made her exhausted. As soon as she saw Xuanyuan Mingzhao, she fell down.

Xuanyuan Mingzhao's heart tightened, and he immediately caught her, hugging her into his arms. The people kneeling on the ground were frightened out of their wits.

"Mr. Zhang, how is the imperial concubine?"

Xuanyuan Mingzhao looked coldly at the only imperial doctor present.

"The emperor... the imperial concubine was too busy running around, she just fell asleep, nothing serious... Wait, when he has a good rest, he will wake up naturally."

Xuanyuan Mingzhao and Xuanyuan Mingfeng felt a little relieved.

At this moment, the dead men who followed Xuanyuan Mingzhao and Xuanyuan Mingfeng also caught up.

Xuanyuan Mingzhao looked at the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, I wonder why you brought the imperial concubine to the secret passage?"

"emperor."

The Empress Dowager thought that it was a pity that Xuanyuan Mingzhao caught up with her. It seemed that she could not take away Sikong Qingying and Sikong Qingying's unborn child.

However, she still had to leave.

"Your Majesty, everyone has his or her own ambitions. The Ai family doesn't want to wait here to die, but wants to find a way to survive. Is it wrong?"

Hearing what she said, Xuanyuan Mingfeng tightened his grip on the sword hanging at his waist, wanting to stab the woman to death with one strike.

"When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. The Queen Mother is certainly right, but my imperial concubine has no intention of going out to seek a way out, so why is she here?"

"This..." The Queen Mother didn't know how to explain.

Xuanyuan Mingzhao's face darkened: "Empress Dowager, since you want to leave, I will follow your wishes. Just leave. I will never send anyone to chase you back, including Princess Mingfang, but... the others

Wait, they kidnapped and held the imperial concubine and the future prince hostage without authorization, but I couldn't spare them, no one came."

Xuanyuan Mingzhao's voice was light, but it made people feel that it was full of blood for no reason: "Today, everyone, except the Empress Dowager and Princess Mingfang, will be killed without mercy."

After he finished speaking, he hugged Sikong Qingying and left without waiting for the Empress Dowager to speak.

Xuanyuan Mingfeng stayed where he was.

"Your Majesty, how can you be so heartless? How can the Ai family live alone if you kill them?" the Empress Dowager realized and shouted.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

"My slave never dares to do it again..."

"This slave was forced by the Empress Dowager..."

"emperor……"

Wails were heard from behind, but Xuanyuan Mingzhao seemed not to hear them and ignored them at all. He just wanted to take Sikong Qingying out of here quickly and let Lu Zicong show Sikong Qingying whether Sikong Qingying was really okay.

Xuanyuan Mingfeng sneered and said to the dead soldier behind him: "Do it!"

The sword rose and fell, killing people with no more than a flick of the head. Within a few seconds, the secret passage was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Those palace maids and eunuchs had no power to fight back. The guards did have some, but they couldn't defeat the dead soldiers behind Xuanyuan Mingfeng.

There were more than thirty people in the group before, but in an instant, only the Empress Dowager and Princess Mingfang were left.

Seeing the bloody warriors and Xuanyuan Mingfeng dripping on the knife, who looked like Shura demons from hell, Princess Mingfang fainted from fright, and the Empress Dowager also looked pale.

I have to say that she regretted it.

She knew clearly that Xuanyuan Mingzhao had never liked her and wanted to find an opportunity to embarrass her, but she actually hit Xuanyuan Mingzhao's knife edge.

Seeing that Princess Mingfang fainted, Xuanyuan Mingfeng frowned and said to one of the dead soldiers: "The emperor said that the princess is allowed to leave. You guys, go and throw that woman out to me, the general."

The dead soldier behind him listened to the order and immediately grabbed Princess Mingfang by the collar and took her down like a chicken.

From now on, Princess Mingfang will be a princess expelled by the royal family. Her life and death will have nothing to do with the royal family of Dajing.

The other dead soldiers were also driven away, and in an instant, only the Empress Dowager and Xuanyuan Mingfeng were left in the dark secret passage.

Seeing the fierce light flashing in Xuanyuan Mingfeng's eyes under the mask, the Empress Dowager felt frightened and couldn't help shouting with anger: "The Emperor also said that the Ai family should leave. Could it be that you, you, want to disobey the Emperor's order?"

Xuanyuan Mingfeng sneered a few times: "Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by death. Grand Empress Dowager, can you guess how you will spend the rest of your life?"

Not only did he know that the Empress Dowager would be miserable for the rest of her life without a palace maid by her side, no, she couldn't leave, she wanted to stay, stay here, she would still be the Empress Dowager of the capital, and she would still be the Grand Empress Dowager.

She is the most noble woman in Beijing, but many people still have to kneel down to her.

But obviously...she is wishful thinking.

Because, when she was thinking about this, Xuanyuan Mingfeng had already described a future for him: "You will have your limbs chopped off, your eyes gouged out, your tongue cut off, your nose cut off, your ears cut off... and then you will live in a hut.

There are rot maggots there every day... Hahaha, I will find someone to take care of you and take good care of you."

"You..." The Queen Mother trembled and looked at Xuanyuan Mingfeng in horror: "Who are you? You... how do you know this?"

Back then, she had also treated a bitch in this way.

Xuanyuan Mingfeng sneered, stretched out his hand, and slowly removed the silver-white mask on his face, revealing his beautiful angel-like face.

The smile on that angelic face looked like a demon from hell.

The Empress Dowager's legs went weak: "Ruan... Ruan... no, no, you, you are Xuanyuan Mingfeng? You are not stupid... you are pretending, you are pretending..."

Xuanyuan Mingfeng bent down and approached her: "How about it? My face is very similar to that of my mother-in-law, right? Do you like it? If you like it, just look at it more. After your eyes are gouged, you will know everything.

Can’t see it anymore.”

"No!!!"

The Empress Dowager screamed miserably.

From then on, no one in the capital saw the Empress Dowager again...

Xuanyuan Mingzhao did not ask Xuanyuan Mingfeng how to deal with the Empress Dowager. He did not take that woman to heart at all. He believed that Xuanyuan Mingfeng would definitely return all his resentment to that woman.

After Xuanyuan Mingzhao returned to Ganquan Palace with Sikong Qingying in his arms, he sent someone to invite Lu Zicong.

To be honest, when the Jade-Faced Miracle Doctor Lu Zicong saw Sikong Qingying’s swollen abdomen, Lu Zicong’s face, which was suave and often had a perverted smile, showed surprise: “It’s so big?”

Xuanyuan Mingzhao had already placed Sikong Qingying on the dragon bed. He stood aside and explained to Lu Zicong: "The imperial doctor said that she is pregnant with twins."

Lu Zicong's eyebrows twitched, and there was a strange look in his glazed peach blossom eyes: "They are actually twins? That's no wonder."

He checked Sikong Qingying's pulse.

"She is in good health and is fine. She just walked a lot today and was a little tired, so she fell asleep. The baby in her belly is also fine. Here, Lu would like to congratulate the emperor in advance."

Only at this moment did Xuanyuan Mingzhao feel completely relieved.

In the secret passage before, he had doubts about Doctor Zhang's words, but he believed Lu Zicong's words very much.

"Mr. Lu, Xiaoying is pregnant with twins. I'm afraid she might have an accident during delivery. How about you stay in the palace and help her deliver the baby?"

Xuanyuan Mingzhao hesitated before making this somewhat presumptuous request.

Lu Zicong was startled for a moment and shook his head: "Sorry, Your Majesty, there are still two or three months before the birth of the imperial concubine, but Lu is busy and cannot wait that long."

Lu Jiu has obtained the Book of Immortality. With his talent, it will not take long to practice the peerless martial arts above. With Lu Jiu's temperament, he will definitely seek revenge after completing the magical skills. But Lu Zicong does not think that Lu Jiu can defeat that old monster.

, Therefore, Lu Zicong wanted to find some strange medicine and make it into a poison to help Lu Jiu.

Xuanyuan Mingzhao felt regretful, but did not force it.

"Okay, in that case, I won't bother Divine Doctor Lu."

Although the medical skills of the imperial physicians in Dajing are not as good as those of Lu Zicong, they must be outstanding. Otherwise, how could they become imperial physicians?

Sikong Qingying's health had been in good condition during this period, and Xuanyuan Mingzhao believed that it would be okay to let other imperial doctors deliver Sikong Qingying's baby.

"Haha, Your Majesty, although Lu cannot deliver the baby to the Imperial Concubine, Lu can prescribe some anti-fetal and calming medicines to the Imperial Concubine, and can also help the Imperial Concubine prepare some pills for emergencies. In this way,

It’s not a waste of time for Lu to meet the emperor.”

"Then there's Divine Doctor Lao Lu."

Lu Zicong planned to stay in the palace to prepare some medicine for Sikong Qingying and then leave... Of course, the reason why he would be here and help Xuanyuan Mingzhao so diligently was because he coveted some rare medicines collected by the palace. He and Xuanyuan Mingzhao

In his eyes, the little friendship he had had was not as effective as a few exotic medicines.

Lu Zicong left to prepare medicine.

The entire Ganquan Palace became quiet again.

Xuanyuan Mingzhao dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs, sat beside the bed, and looked at Sikong Qingying's sleeping face.

He has seen many beautiful women, but this is the only one he can't let go of.

Especially now, he has long been accustomed to being in the harem and having a warm body sleeping next to him every night.

This man was the only one he allowed to sleep next to him.

He thought... he would live forever.
