Mass grave.
Even in the daytime, it looked extremely gloomy.
The occasional calls of crows sounded very bleak.
When Taoist Lingyin found Wen Ruyi, she was almost out of breath.
Rolled up by a broken mat, thrown in the weeds.
A few crows landed beside her, about to feast.
Daoist Lingyin helped her up, checked her pulse, and found that her pulse was weak, and then checked her injuries. Because she had not been sutured and treated in time, she had already lost a lot of blood and was exhausted.
He sighed for a long time, he was the one who killed her in the end.
If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
He reached out and pressed her acupoint.
It took a long time before Wen Ruyi quietly opened her eyes. Seeing him, she felt resentful in her heart.
It was indeed because of him that she ended up like this.
But she also knew that she couldn't survive, so she didn't reveal her resentment.
"What last wish do you have, tell me, and I will fulfill it for you." Taoist Lingyin said sympathetically.
"I don't want anything... all I want is Wen Yunyun's life. I owe her my whole life... I want her to end up worse than me..." Wen Ruyi was extremely weak, but her voice was shrill and resentful.
"I promise you." Daoist Lingyin agreed without hesitation.
"Then, that's... good." After Wen Ruyi finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Daoist Lingyin sighed. Finally, he dug a hole, buried her, erected a grave for her, put incense sticks on it, and burned the paper money. After that, he left and went to Xiangzhou.
He was going to kill Wen Rongjun, but now because of Wen Ruyi's incident, he wanted Wen Rongjun's life even more.
Originally, he had nowhere to go yesterday, and she took him in. After that, he had the opportunity to sneak into the imperial guards and escape from the palace.
He accepted her a great kindness, and he naturally wanted to fulfill her last wish.
…
Night, the palace.
Although Gu Heng blocked the news, Xiao Yan still heard some rumors, so he went into the palace to ask A Tuo Jiang Hua.
It's just that he didn't expect that Atuo Jianghua was not in the room when he came.
He thought she was going to play, so he sat down in the room and waited.
But not long after, he suddenly heard the loud cry of the baby.
He listened carefully and found that it seemed to be coming from the side hall.
He was stunned for a moment, how could A Tuo Jiang Hua have a child here
Whose child is it
He was full of doubts.
After waiting for a long time, Atuo Jianghua didn't come back. He was impatient to wait any longer, and when he was about to leave, footsteps came from outside.
He recognized at once that it was Atuo Jianghua's footsteps.
As for why he could immediately hear the footsteps of Atuo Jianghua, he himself was a little taken aback.
Still, he cautiously hid behind the screen.
He had just hid behind the screen when the door was pushed open.
Atuo Jianghua and her maid walked in.
The three of them exchanged something in Huijiang language.
After a while, the two maids withdrew.
After the door was closed again, A Tuo Jiang Hua walked towards the screen while undressing his clothes, intending to put away his coat and go to the bathroom to take a shower.
When she got closer, she saw a black shadow on the screen.
She was taken aback, thinking it was an assassin, and just as she was about to take her whip, she saw a black shadow behind the screen slowly coming out.
"Why are you?" She said angrily after seeing who was coming.
Xiao Yan put his arms around his chest and looked at her leisurely, "Where have you been? Let me wait for a while."
Hearing that there was a questioning meaning in his tone, she frowned and said, "How did I know you would come?"
Just as Xiao Yan was about to say something more, he suddenly noticed that her clothes were disheveled, turned around quickly, and reprimanded: "You are really casual."
Hearing what he said, Atuo Jianghua remembered that half of her clothes had been taken off.
She doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, and it's not like she's not wearing clothes underneath.
But he still stretched out his hand to gather back the shirt that had been taken off.
"By the way, you came to see me so late, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yan made sure that she was fully dressed, and then turned around, "I heard some rumors, and I don't know if it's true, so I came in to check with you."
"What wind?"
"I heard that Queen Mother Guo was assassinated the night before and she hasn't woken up yet. Is this true?"
"It's true. Guo Yuzhen wanted to visit her, but was stopped. The emperor strictly ordered anyone to disturb the queen mother, and forbid everyone to discuss this matter. It seems that the situation of the queen mother is not optimistic." A Tuo Jiang Hua said.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan fell into deep thought.
The assassination of the Empress Dowager Guo was such an important matter that Gu Heng had people block the news and not allow people to discuss it, which is really counterintuitive.
Why did he block the news
Are you worried that if Queen Mother Guo dies, his marriage with the Si family will not be held as scheduled, which will delay some of his plans
For example, he planned to kill Hengzhi at the wedding banquet
Other than that, he really couldn't figure out why Gu Heng blocked the news that the queen mother was assassinated.
"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" A Tuo Jiang Hua couldn't help asking when he saw his solemn expression.
Xiao Yan stopped his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is about to get married soon, and he even ordered Hengzhi to return to Beijing for the banquet. I suspect that he will be unfavorable to Hengzhi at the wedding banquet."
A Tuo Jiang Hua was taken aback when he heard the words, "Then quickly find a way to prevent King Xiang from entering the capital."
"I've sent someone to deliver the letter, but Hengzhi is very stubborn, he may not listen to my advice, I'm afraid he will go to Beijing anyway." Xiao Yan said.
"Then what should we do?" A Tuo Jiang Hua said worriedly.
"It's okay, I've already told you that the emperor may be unfavorable to him, even if he enters Beijing, there must be a way to deal with it." Xiao Yan said, walking towards the entrance of the tunnel, thinking of something, he suddenly stopped in his tracks , "By the way, if something happens to me, I will trouble you to take the Empress Dowager out of the palace, and I will send someone to meet you outside."
When A Tuo Jiang Hua heard this, his heart sank, "What do you mean if something happens to you?"
Xiao Yan shrugged and said indifferently: "I was just thinking, if Gu Heng didn't find what he wanted in Jingci Palace, he might think it was on me."
A Tuo Jiang Hua's eyes widened, "You mean, next step, he is likely to deal with you?"
Seeing her being so surprised, Xiao Yan couldn't help chuckling, "Why are you so surprised? Even if I'm imprisoned, it won't delay your leaving here."
A Tuo Jiang Hua frowned, "But if something happens to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to take the Empress Dowager away by myself."
"Don't worry, I will let Zhou Jun come to help you." Xiao Yan said, "I have made all the arrangements. As long as you leave the palace, someone will escort you to Xiangzhou." Xiao Yan said seriously.
Hearing this, Atuo Jianghua took two steps forward, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Mr. Yasukuni, otherwise we'd better leave early, so Gu Heng won't be able to deal with you."
