Chapter 154: A thief's heart is not dead, love is at your fingertips(1/2)

Murong Ding felt so heartbroken when he was rejected, but his face was calm and calm, and he said meaningfully, "If I say that Xu Muqing can extend Prince Xiao's life span by more than ten or even twenty years? Is the emperor still thinking that keeping her in Liang State a good choice?"

Xiao Lie made a big alarm in his heart, his smile became deeper, and there was an unrecognizable light in his eyes. "What does the Sixth Prince mean?"

Murong Ding lowered his head and fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist. His voice was still gentle and his tone was faint. "It's literal. I heard that Qingli Country has a kind of sacred grass that can bring about death, called the Soul Gathering Grass. Even if a terminally ill person is, as long as he has one breath, he can save the person."

"Crown Prince Xiao is leading troops to fight or dealing with the government affairs, and the ministers of Liang State are obvious to all. If he loses, he is dragging a weak and sick body. If Xu Muqing gets the Soul Gathering Grass, she will think of other ways to make His Highness become healthy and strong. Isn't it a huge threat to the emperor?"

Murong Ding's words were like a wake-up call on Xiao Lie's heart. How could he not know Xiao Linye's ability?

However, Xiao Lie is not the kind of man who easily believes anything others say. He said coldly, "Even if there is the Soul Gathering Grass you mentioned, how can you guarantee that Ye'er can get it? That kind of divine grass has the effect of resurrection. Whether it is the people of Qingli Kingdom or the powerful people of other countries, they will try every means to get it and save their lives at critical moments."

"It is said that the Sixth Prince of Beidi has a perfect tongue. To this day, I have finally fully understood it. The same thing is said, marriage is OK, but Xu Muqing cannot."

Murong Ding was so numb that he was rejected that he was not angry, "It doesn't matter, the emperor can think carefully and weigh the pros and cons. Anyway, the emperor is in his prime, and he has time and energy, which can also make the Liang Kingdom stronger and continue for generations."

"Don't the emperor still practice it for us envoys in three or four days? If the emperor changes his mind and wants to marry Beidiguo, he will still welcome him. Emperor, then he will say goodbye first."

After Murong Ding left, Xiao Lie's thoughts flashed through his mind. He became uncertain and asked Eunuch Chen beside him, "Is there really a magical grass like the Soul Gathering Grass? Can you save people from the gates of hell?"

Eunuch Chen said cautiously, "I don't know either. Maybe the emperor can ask the imperial doctors to come and ask clearly. If necessary, you can also let Su Mujing or Doctor Tang enter the palace to answer questions and answer questions for the emperor."

"I don't know if Xu Muqing and Su Mujing have refined the antidote. My patience is almost at its limit."

Xiao Lie suppressed his anger and was half-believing and half-doubted about Murong Ding's words for a while, and became vigilant about Xiao Linye.

"You asked Xu Muqing, Su Mujing, and the emperor's uncle, and grandfather, to come into the palace, and I said I had something important to ask them."

Why haven’t he heard of the soul-gathering grass? There is really such grass? Why did the successive emperors of Qingli Kingdom die when they were less than forty years old?

Murong Ding, like Huo Shujing and other people, was a master of sow discord. He just wanted to use his hands to make the king and his ministers turn against each other so that Xu Yirong could give up his military power, take advantage of the troubled waters, and seek benefits.

He Xiao Lie will not be fooled.

However, I felt very uneasy in my heart. After thinking about it, I still had to ask the emperor's uncle and grandfather and only then could I feel at ease after I got a clear answer.

Half an hour later, Su Mujing and Xu Muqing followed their master Tang Weiqing and appeared in the emperor's imperial study room.

"Xu Muqing, Su Mujing, has the antidote been refined?"

What the emperor is most concerned about is the remaining poison in his body. When he was sleeping last night, he felt that the cold air seemed to have become stronger, causing him to tremble constantly when he was sleeping. Even though the weather was still very warm, he covered it with a very thick quilt.

Su Mujing slept respectfully, "Go back to the emperor, the antidote has been refined. Here, the emperor only needs to take the antidote, and then take the medicine according to the prescription prescribed yesterday for a few days, and the body will recover without leaving any sequelae."

Tang Weiqing frowned and looked at the emperor with a little distress, "I told you before, don't let the empress dowager go so far. Now, the power and desire are so inflated that they have attacked you. Your Majesty, you really have to be more careful in the future. This time it's a lucky person. If there is another time, you may be gone for a lifetime."

The emperor is also extremely regretful. Who would have thought that power and desire can turn people out of recognition? "Uncle and grandfather, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't be following my mother in the beginning. I remember the lesson this time."

"Fortunately it's cold poison. Mu Jing and Mu Qing can refine antidotes. Although it's a little tricky, they can at least clear the remaining poison. If it's an acute poison, I'm afraid the emperor's life will be gone. Your emperor is the true dragon emperor. You must protect your life. Your life is more precious than everyone's, do you understand?"

These heart-to-heart words almost made the man, the king of a country, burst into tears. It was ironic that his uncle and grandfather care about his life and death more than his biological mother.

"Okay, let's take the antidote first." Tang Weiqing sighed and said in the tone of caring for the younger generation.

Xiao Lie took the box in Su Mujing's hand, and there was a dark red pill inside, "Just like this, will it be done if I take it? I won't be in danger of my life, right?"

Su Mujing said respectfully, "Yes, the emperor, this is enough for the antidote of cold poison. The rest is to take care of it slowly. The emperor will not be tortured by severe poisons, nor will he be in danger of his life."

Because Tang Weiqing is here, the emperor was not afraid that Su Mujing and Xu Muqing would mingle, so he caused someone to pour a cup of warm water for him, and then he became convinced.

"By the way, the emperor's uncle, I heard that Qingli Kingdom has a spiritual medicine that can bring about life, called the Soul Gathering Grass. Is that true? Can that kind of grass be cured with any poison? Can any disease be cured?"

Xiao Lie looked at Tang Weiqing and asked seriously.

"There is a soul gathering grass, but there is no spiritual medicine to revive the dead. At best, it can treat the lives of injured people who have lost too much blood and can breathe more."

Tang Weiqing answered truthfully, "Of course, the Soul Gathering Grass is indeed better than many precious medicinal herbs and has the effect of strengthening the body."

Xiao Lie quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Xiao Linye, who was not allowed to be hollowed out, would be fine if he could survive in the bone marrow.

He looked regretful and distressed, "Can't you be reborn? I also thought that if it could really cure many difficult and complicated diseases, including the poison brought from the womb, it would be cured. Ye'er's health is getting worse and worse now, and I am really worried that he will not be able to survive this winter."

When Xu Muqing heard this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. When it comes to acting, Xiao Lie is definitely at the level of a movie emperor. He obviously wanted to let Xiao Linye die soon, but on the surface he looked like a kind father.

If she and Xiao Linye hadn't understood clearly that he would have known that Xiao Linye was not Xiao Lie's biological son, I'd probably be moved to see his kind father's appearance.

Tang Weiqing had disapproval on her face, and even had a slight sarcasm.

"How can there be any magical medicine for resurrection? If so, your father would not die, and the prince Xiao Luo would not be poisoned and died suddenly. I have been studying medical skills for so many years. Didn't I want to save your father and Xiao Luo? Birth, old age, sickness and death are really the norm in life, and no one can avoid it."

His chest was falling, as if pain spread in his heart, and there was also a trace of heartache in his deep eyes.

"I can't do anything when I see your father and Xiao Luo gradually lose their lives in front of me. Do you think I'm in pain or sad?"

"If the Soul Gathering Grass can really bring people back to life, no matter how the people from Qingli Kingdom stop me, I will find a way to send a large army to destroy that country and get the divine grass. Can I watch my brother who loves me and my nephew who is the most filial to me die in front of me?"

Seeing Tang Weiqing's sad and painful look, Xiao Lie finally put his tense heart back into his stomach.

As long as there is no Soul Gathering Grass, Xiao Linye will die this year if he can't stand it. He can even get rid of the thorns in his eyes without his own hands. It will not arouse Huang Bingting's suspicion. It is really the best result for him.

"Uncle and grandfather, don't be sad. I will ask the imperial doctor to take out precious medicinal materials that can nourish the human body, and to nourish Ye'er's body, and try to make him live longer. As his father, I don't want to see him tortured by severe poisons and illnesses."

Tang Weiqing's eyes were a little red. He choked and tried his best to swallow the broken emotions. "Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. When can Ye'er last support last? It depends on the will of heaven. You, the father, have already done a good job."

"By the way, Xiao Lie, the Prince of Nanyue and the Sixth Prince of Beidi are fighting for my disciples? What is the intention of those people? Mu Qing is from Liang, how could she be the Saint of Nanyue and Princess Beidi?"

Faced with the questioning of the emperor's uncle and grandfather, and the attitude of protecting Xu Muqing with such care, Xiao Lie dissipated all the ideas of marriage in his heart, and did not dare to have any more thoughts.

"The Prince of Nanyue wanted her to help me refine immortality medicine. The Sixth Prince of Beidi initially thought that Xu Muqing was a princess who had been separated for many years, and later wanted to marry her as her concubine. Who knows what their plans were in their minds?" Xiao Lie explained gently and patiently.

"No matter what, Mu Qing must not marry. I still expect her to be more filial to me when I can still eat and drink. When I get sick and move, she can still treat me. She can only be in the capital and not go anywhere. Prince, I hope you don't disappoint me in this matter."

Xiao Lie did not dare to offend this high-ranking miracle doctor, and immediately promised, "Don't worry, uncle, grandfather, Mu Qing, stayed in the capital. When will she get married? I will prepare a generous dowry for her and will not use her for profit."

Tang Weiqing was relieved, "This is almost the same, so I will thank the emperor here first."

He paused and snorted coldly, "Those people in Nanyue are really crazy to live forever. How could they have that kind of medicine? It's really ignorant!"

The more you hold the power, the more you are afraid of death and the fear of losing what you have, it is all caused by greed.

"Your Majesty, take care of yourself, then I will take Mu Qing and Mu Jing back first. The people of Beidi are cruel by nature and are the most untrustworthy, so don't worry about them. Even if they offer any tempting conditions, there is a trap inside."

Xiao Lie could naturally hear Tang Weiqing's words, with a smile on his face, "Uncle Emperor, I remember your words."

After Tang Weiqing left with his two apprentices, Xiao Lie's smile subsided. He thought about what Murong Ding said, and then thought about what Tang Weiqing said. After thinking about it, he was still worried.

For Xiao Linye, it was actually a thorn in his heart, which pierced deeply into his flesh. As long as he pulled it out slightly, it would be in pain and blood.

He wanted to kill Xiao Linye more than once, but he was afraid that the queen would find some clues and break up with him completely. Don’t be sure how conflicted he was.

Not long after, the palace maid Zhenzhu, beside the queen, hurriedly ran over to tell him, "Emperor, the Crown Prince has come to Fengluan Palace before. Somehow, he suddenly became sick and suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma."

Xiao Lie's face became very serious, "Go to Fengluan Palace quickly and send the imperial doctor there."

After he brought his entourage to Fengluan Palace with his entourage, he saw the queen sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Xiao Linye's hand, and making heart-wrenching crying.

"Ye'er, don't scare your mother, open your eyes and look at her."

Xiao Linye's face was blue, his eyes were closed tightly, and dark red blood came out of the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't stop it no matter how he wiped it.

"Feng Yi, hurry up and take the pills to Ye'er. What should he do? Are you just watching it like that?"

"Empress, this is the consequence of Your Highness taking Huiguang Pill. His body becomes weaker and weaker. He needs to be recuperated for at least ten days and half a month to get better. He vomits blood and the dark red blood is to excrete poison from the body, and it is not dangerous for life. You can wake up after your Highness rests for an hour or two. It's okay, don't worry."

Huang Bingting kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief and said in pain, "Look at how painful he is, how can I not worry? He vomits blood in high fever and has a headache. What if he gets stupid? I am just such a son. If he has any problems, I will not live."

"Queen, don't do this. Ye'er is normal to defend and protect his body. He will get better. Don't quarrel at him to rest. Didn't Xu Muqing say that she will find a way to cure Ye'er's illness and try to extend Ye'er's lifespan."

When the emperor saw that his beloved woman was so angry that she almost fainted. He felt a strong love arise in his heart, holding her in his arms to comfort her.

Huang Bingting hated him to the core and broke free from his arms. Yingying's beautiful eyes still had tears in her eyes, but a strong hatred burst out. That posture seemed to be cutting someone into pieces.

"You don't need to be hypocritical. You may have disliked Ye'er, who has long been looking at me, and secretly wanted to put my son to death. Is your heart happy and satisfied when my son was ruined like this? Do you feel even more proud if you want me to die with Ye'er?"

If it weren't for the bastard Xiao Lie who was trying to rob her, would her son be so exhausted?

The emperor was scolded by his beloved woman in the sharpest language, and his face became very uncomfortable, "Pingting, look at what you said? Are I such a person? Ye'er was not what I did when he was assassinated in hunting. Why did you spread all your anger on me?"

"Do you think I'm spoiling you too much, and you feel that you're clambering onto my head in a free manner?"

Huang Bingting's tears fell like beads that kept threading. She stubbornly raised her chin, "I don't want to climb onto your head at all. It was caused by you when I was trapped in this palace. But you still can't protect me and my Ye'er. Xiao Lie, I really hate you. If it weren't for you, I would have lived a very different life than I am now!"

"Then what do you want? Ye'er will have such consequences if he accepts Hui Guangdan. This is not caused by me. Whose life do you want?"

The queen smiled sadly, but her tears fell even more fiercely, "I don't want anyone's life, it's someone else who wants my son's life! You said you're going to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, but where is that person? They are free and easy, but my Ye'er is almost gone."

She squatted on the ground in pain and embarrassment, covering her face, and the painful sob echoed in the palace.

"Stop crying, Ye'er will be fine, trust me." After all, it was a woman he loved deeply for so many years. After being scolded by her for so long, Xiao Lie was so angry that he still swallowed his anger and comforted her gently and lovingly.

The queen didn't look at him, and the cold voice sounded with a strong hatred, "If you ask Xiao Lince to die, I will stop hating you if I give my Ye'er this anger. Why is my son so miserable that the real murderer who caused my son lives a life of luxury? I can't swallow this."

Xiao Lie felt the hatred on his wife and felt a little uncomfortable. No matter what Xiao Lince did, he was his son. Even if he committed a crime that even he could not tolerate, he could not execute his son.

What's more, Xiao Linye is his short-lived, half-brother, so he is unwilling to execute himself for other people's sons.

Even if he loves Huang Pingting, he will not be able to do such crazy things, and he will definitely not.

"Queen, you misunderstood. Ye'er was not sent by Ce'er to assassinate him, really wasn't it."

Huang Bingting sneered sarcastically, "Who else isn't Xiao Lince? His hostility towards Ye'er is definitely the best. The eldest prince doesn't have the courage, and even if he has the courage, he doesn't have such a powerful strategy. Even if the fourth prince and the sixth prince want to, they can't stretch their hands that long."

What's more, Xiao Lince is backed by the empress dowager. Apart from Xiao Lince, there shouldn't be anyone else.

"It's really not Ce'er. It's the Queen Mother who sent a killer to assassinate Ye'er. It has nothing to do with Ce'er. Pingting, I have put the Queen Mother under house arrest. From now on, she can hardly take a step from Ningshou Palace, nor will she hurt Ye'er and you again. Don't bother with the Queen Mother anymore, okay?"
