Chapter 44 Heartache Spreads in the Lake
[69 Book Bar - www.] Xiao Yuchen, who was in the dark room of the imperial study, was suffering from the pain caused by Erotic Heart Powder.
Situ Ye did not want him to die, but despicably tortured him slowly with poison and forced him to compromise. If Xiao Yuchen died, Guoer would definitely hate him in the future.
But Xiao Yuchen's willpower was so determined that Situ Ye was almost driven out of patience.
The severe pain in his heart caused Xiao Yuchen to close his eyes and clench his teeth. His hands, which were chained by iron chains, were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were scratched on the stone pillars. He had never endured such pain that was worse than death.
For more than a month, Guoer has been his only spiritual support.
How can someone who has been pretending to be in his heart for so many years give up so easily?
That night on the grassland, Guoer expressed her true feelings in singing. How could she give up the happiness she had finally obtained so hard? She had already admitted the pain of losing Guoer, and she never dared to lose her again. Let alone let it go.
Guoer is also living with the loss of him
In pain.
Guo'er, don't worry, I will never let you go. Because you are here and because you are waiting, I will definitely survive!
I could have stayed with Guo'er, but if I hadn't received a private message from Situ Ye on my way back to the imperial capital more than a month ago, I wouldn't have fallen into that villain's trap.
Situ Ye's letter stated that he had found Xiao Yuchen's lost seventh brother, Xiao Yujin. He was so attracted by the good news that he came rashly without much thought.
Besides, how did Situ Ye know about his lost seventh brother? This matter has never been made public at all. It's just that several people in the Yu Kingdom have been secretly looking for him, but there has been no news for many years.
It was already too late when he thought of this. Situ Ye used this trick just to lure Xiao Yuchen to Ye Kingdom and force him to give up Guoer. However, I am afraid that Situ Ye will be disappointed.
In the small bedroom of Qingwu Pavilion, Guo'er woke up from her dream in a cold sweat, crying. She had that terrible dream again, dreaming that Xiao Yuchen was covered in blood and slowly disappeared from in front of her... That kind of helplessness
The feeling once again invaded her little heart,
I couldn't sleep anymore. I hugged the quilt tightly, curled up on the small bed, and slowly waited for dawn...
Xiao Yuchen, what happened to you... I can clearly feel your presence, but I have no way of knowing any news about you.
Today is the third day in the palace. I must see Situ Ye again, otherwise I will never be able to admit the uneasiness caused by that nightmare again.
Liu'er and Ye'er in the inn were holding their chins and thinking about something, while Nangong Jin walked around the room anxiously.
At first, she was afraid that Ye'er would be angry when she knew the truth, but when she learned that Guo'er was Princess Yu, she was surprised and changed her view of Situ Ye. It turned out that the emperor she had always admired was actually a love-struck person.
A bad man who uses despicable means to deceive people openly.
Suddenly, I felt more sympathy for Guo'er, and even more admired her for taking the risk to enter the palace.
"Sister Liu'er, when we find the fourth prince, can you take me away?" Ye'er said to Liu'er seriously.
Ye'er is an orphan. She has been in the palace since she was very young, and now she has entered the palace. It is understandable for a little girl to desire a free life. Besides, whether this matter succeeds or fails, it will not matter if she returns to the palace.
Smart move.
"Okay, let's take you away. Then come home with me. Don't be a girl anymore." Liu'er promised her sincerely.
Ye'er seemed very happy and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Nangong Jin.
"You two, can you please stop talking about family matters here? There is still no news from the palace, who can do anything?" There has been no news about his master, his master Guo'er, and he has been unable to calm down for a long time.
Already.
"Mr. Nangong, don't worry. The princess has been in the palace for a few days. No news is good news. At least, no one has discovered her! She is so smart and witty, she will definitely find a way." Although Liu'er was also worried, but
He still comforted Nangong Jin with words.
"I think so too. The emperor often goes to Qingwu Pavilion. Maybe others don't know it, but several times, I heard the emperor's footsteps in the middle of the night. In Miss Guoer... the princess sighed... so, the princess
There will definitely be a chance to meet the emperor." Ye'er also said with certainty.
After listening to their words, Nangong Jin finally felt a little more at ease. If Guoer hadn't specifically confessed before leaving, he would have broken into the palace at night.
All day long, Guo'er's mind was filled with scenes from her dream. Xiao Yuchen, whom she could not touch, made her worried all the time.
At dusk, she went to wait by the lotus pond. Situ Ye appeared here yesterday, and she hoped he would come again today.
I don’t know how long I have been waiting, but sitting under the pear tree, my legs and feet are numb. Could it be that Situ Ye won’t come? Or, was it just a coincidence that he appeared here last night?
Suddenly I heard the sound of very light footsteps in the distance. Through the overlapping shadows of the trees, I saw the feet suddenly stopped on the spot. Then a person followed behind me. The two of them were talking in a low voice. They were talking slowly.
Walk towards me slowly.
What are they talking about? If they see my presence, they will definitely stop talking. Maybe it is important information...
It's over, it's over... There's no place to hide here. Climbing a tree? I'm afraid it's too late.
So I slid decisively into the pond, being careful not to make a sound. I dived underwater, found a place with lush lotus leaves, and stuck my head out. Fortunately, it was hidden enough for eavesdropping.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped on the shore not far from me.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master said that the Erosion Heart Powder can no longer be used. Although it is a chronic poison, the current dose is already at the limit... otherwise, he will die." Even though he lowered his voice, I still heard it clearly.
I know this person. He is Situ Ye's confidant. When he was still in the mansion, he has been following Situ Ye.
Situ Ye sighed and said: "I didn't expect that he would be so stubborn. However, if you do this, you can't look back, otherwise it will be another serious threat to our country, Ye."
After a pause, he continued: "Let the few people under him also taste the power of Xixinsan. I don't believe that he will not care about the life and death of others. That one named Feng, increase the weight!"
When I heard this, I was confused. After talking for a long time, it turned out that they were talking about Xiao Yuchen!
Erosion Heart Powder...Poison...Is he poisoned? Poisoned by this bastard Situ Ye? Oh my God! The man just said that the quantity was used to the limit, will Xiao Yuchen be about to die?
And Feng and the others are about to be poisoned... What should I do... How can I stop... Where is Xiao Yuchen and how can I save him?
Situ Ye, what are you going to do? What do you want?
Soaking in the cold water, I felt that all the cells had shrunk, heartache, helplessness, hatred...all the emotions were squeezed into my head, and I was about to collapse...
