There was a loud rumbling sound, and the thunder seemed to be exploding above our heads. The power from nature made people's hearts sink.
The Queen Mother stood up, holding her chest, and her heart trembled when she met the little girl's eyes that were both expectant and fearful. Even though she had already made up her mind, she still found it difficult to speak when meeting such a look. Once a person entered this palace, he would either go crazy or die.
"Grandma." Xiao Liu stepped forward and held the Queen Mother's arm. "You also know that my grandson has already set up his own household and is still in need of some servants. Grandma, why don't you give these people to my grandson?"
The Queen Mother turned her head and looked at him for a moment, then smiled, patted his hands and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you. You must treat them well."
"Yes, grandson knows."
Hua Zhi's heart dropped back down heavily. If Xiao Liu hadn't spoken quickly, if Xiao Liu hadn't been willing to take over these people...
Xiao Liu glanced at his master, lowered his eyes, and helped his grandmother walk out. "Father is still waiting for us, so we won't delay here."
Yuxiang was about to say something, but finally gritted her teeth and knelt in front of the two of them, "Your Majesty and Your Highness, please move and follow me."
The smile on the Queen Mother's face gradually faded, and she tightened her grip on Xiaoliu's arm. She thought this was the limit, but it turned out not to be? That's right, no one knows Yuxiang's character better than her. She has experienced everything she has experienced, so this scene alone can't scare her.
"Lead the way."
"yes."
After taking two steps, the Queen Mother stopped again and said after a moment of silence: "Xiao Liu can just follow me, the others can just wait in this room."
"Yes." Hua Zhi agreed, looking down at the little girl's hesitant expression and couldn't help but touch her head, "Don't worry, it's okay, you just need to serve that noble man well from now on."
The little girl pulled Hua Zhi's sleeve and asked her to bend down. She whispered in her ear, "Is he a good man? Will he also lock us up and take our blood?"
Hua Zhi's nose felt sore, and she squatted down to assure him, "He won't. He is a very good person. He just protected you."
The little girl didn't understand when she was protected, but after hearing such a reassurance, she smiled relaxedly and nodded vigorously. She has a small face, big eyes, and her eyebrows are curved when she smiles. It can be seen that she will be beautiful when she grows up. I only hope that the years to come will be peaceful and stable, which can heal the sufferings that she should not have endured when she was young.
Hua Zhi stood up and looked outside the door. The one who could make the old lady in the palace, Nanny Yuxiang, so panicked and the empress dowager so serious, actually only brought one prince, Xiaoliu. It can be seen how shameful what happened next was.
I only brought Xiaoliu with me...
Hua Zhi's heart moved, as if... it was a good sign. Xiao Liu already had the upper hand now, but if he could get the support of the Queen Mother, it would be more legitimate. After all, he didn't have his mother's support in the palace, which was not good for him.
Yuxiang and her grandson did not walk far. They stopped in front of a more remote room in the palace and glanced at the empress dowager. She took a deep breath and walked forward to open the door.
The smell of blood filled my nose.
The Queen Mother held onto Xiao Liu's arm tightly, and the pain stopped Xiao Liu from retreating. He stood still and held onto his grandmother with both hands. Having come this far, he had no way to retreat, and he could not retreat!
The master told him to just keep walking forward, not to look back, not to retreat, not to be afraid, because she was behind him.
Yes, he is no longer the helpless and powerless Sixth Prince. He can only move forward. The master said that the prince should be a propper for his followers instead of hiding behind them. The master said that the prince should have the responsibility and courage of a prince. The master said that the prince has no way to retreat, and the brave will win when two meet on a narrow road.
"Grandma, I'll just go in."
The coldness on the Queen Mother's face faded a little. She straightened her back even more vigorously and raised her head. "I appreciate your kindness, but I also want to broaden my horizons and see what new tricks this palace can come up with."
As she spoke, the empress dowager took the lead and Xiaoliu followed in sync, never letting go of her hand.
The room was equally simple, with a waist-high platform in the middle that was particularly eye-catching. At this moment, there was a person lying on the platform, a small child who looked no more than six years old.
At this time, the child was stripped naked, his body was spread out in a spread-eagle position, his hands and feet were fixed at the four corners, his chest was covered in blood, and his entire upper body was covered in blood.
The Queen Mother's pupils constricted, and she paused before continuing to walk inside, stopping at the edge of the stage.
A piece of flesh was dug out of the child's chest. His eyes were wide open, his face was distorted, and his fingers and toes were stretched out as far as possible. Just by looking at him, you could tell how much pain he was in.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and her body trembled slightly. After a moment, she raised her hand to close his eyes, but he was so unwilling to close them. He kept his eyes wide open, full of resentment.
After three times in a row, the Queen Mother said in a hoarse voice: "Little Six, you must promise him that you, the Sixth Prince of Daqing, will never let off those who bully the people of Daqing easily, no matter who she is!"
Yuxiang opened her eyes wide suddenly. What is this, Madam
Xiao Liu didn't think too much about it. He had no intention of letting Yuepin, who had repeatedly attacked his master and Brother Yan Xi, go. With a burst of anger, he stepped forward and placed his hands on the child's eyes and promised solemnly, "Go with peace of mind. I will give you an explanation."
As if he really heard it, the child closed his eyes just once, and even his distorted face seemed to be much calmer.
The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Liu'er with pity on her face and thought, this is heaven's will, God's will, no one can go against it!
Many years ago, she had her eyes on Concubine Zhen and wanted her to become the Queen of Daqing, but it didn't work out. Xiao Liu'er does not have the status of a legitimate son, but he is born closest to that position. He is the one who is blessed by heaven in the Daqing Dynasty!
So what if she is young? She is not dead yet and can keep the palace under control. Outside, she has General Sun as her military support and the Hua family's civil officials as her support. The once weakest little Liu'er now has the upper hand!
"Find out where those children are and collect their remains. Once this matter is settled, ask the monks from Dazhuo Temple to chant sutras and pray for them."
Yuxiang squatted and responded.
"By the way, have you found the thing the emperor wears?"
"Yes, we found some leftovers in Concubine Yue's bedroom. They must have been consumed not long ago."
"Okay, that's great. Let's take it to Divine Doctor Yu to see what kind of miraculous medicine is in it."
Boom!
There were loud thunders. The Queen Mother walked to the door and looked at the dark sky and the thick rain. It seemed that even God was angry!
"Xiao Liu."
"Yes, grandma, your grandson is here."
After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother shook her head again and said, "Let's go. I'm afraid your father can't wait any longer."
"yes."
