Although Murong Jie was tied up and covered in blood, he strangely did not look embarrassed at all. In fact, his bloodstained face looked even more majestic and stern.
"Boy, who asked you to come?" Murong Jie asked.
The Seventh Prince smiled, "Uncle, can't I come by myself?"
"You?" Murong Jie sneered, "You do have the ability to do that."
The Seventh Prince's dagger landed diagonally on his face. The cold touch made Murong Jie's eyes even colder. "Uncle, I have no other choice. As you know, my mother died. I finally relied on the Empress Dowager as a backer, but unexpectedly, the ancestor abolished her when he returned to the palace. I have no choice but to ask for help from my uncle."
He asked for help, but the dagger began to slowly pierce him, and the smile on his face became more and more innocent. If you didn't look closely, you would never notice the cold poison in his eyes.
Murong Jie was shocked. Although he knew that the son raised by Concubine Yi was no ordinary person, he did not expect him to be such a cold-blooded person.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Murong Jie asked, fearless of the tiny beads of blood that had already begun to seep out of his neck.
There were already several scars on his arms.
When he heard Murong Jie say this, he raised his dagger and asked in a naive tone, "If I tell you, will the emperor's uncle agree to help me?"
"That depends on what you're talking about."
Murong Jie saw the word bloodthirsty in his eyes. He actually didn't need to do anything to himself again, but he felt inexplicably excited when he saw the blood.
Murong Jie secretly said in his heart: This boy cannot be kept.
The Seventh Prince said, "I said, I want to be the crown prince. I know my father and uncle don't like me, but now you are in my hands. If you want to live, you have to listen to me."
"Hmm? Do you think that if I am trapped here, I can help you seize the position of crown prince?" Murong Jie stared at him and saw that he still had that innocent look.
"Not now, but we can go to the South Country." said the Seventh Prince.
Murong Jie laughed strangely twice, "You know a lot."
"Yes, I know everything I need to know." He tilted his head and smiled with his red lips and white teeth, "The Southern Kingdom is not yet a force to be reckoned with, but in two years, in two years, it will be able to compete with my father."
"Boy," Murong Jie laughed, "If I go to the Southern Kingdom, do you think I will still be at your mercy?"
"Of course!" The Seventh Prince said seriously, "You took poison. I am the only one who has the antidote for this poison."
Murong Jie was startled, and quickly gathered his energy, and indeed found that his meridians were blocked.
His eyes turned cold, "You actually know how to use poison?"
"You have to know some tricks to defend yourself." The Seventh Prince sighed softly, "Uncle, do you really think that now that my mother is dead, I can't use her people? You know my mother's identity. I have half Xianbei blood. Those people are looking forward to me becoming the crown prince and the emperor of the Great Zhou."
I see.
Murong Jie immediately understood. Concubine Yi had cultivated many people in the palace. Although she was dead now, the Seventh Prince was still alive, so those people regarded him as their master.
He was puzzled just now as to why an eight-year-old boy could tie him up here, but it turned out that someone had helped him.
"I knew that the emperor's uncle would agree to accompany me to the Southland."
Murong Jie smiled coldly, "I haven't agreed yet."
The Seventh Prince shook his head gently, "No, the Imperial Uncle will agree. Doesn't the Imperial Uncle know? Your princess is now in the hands of the Eighth Imperial Uncle. They are now heading to the Southern Kingdom. How much the Eighth Imperial Uncle hates the princess, the Imperial Uncle must know it, right?"
"What did you say?" Murong Jie was shocked and stared at the Seventh Prince with ferocious eyes.
The Seventh Prince seemed to be frightened. He stepped back, patting his chest and gasping for breath. "Uncle, don't scare me. I didn't do it. It was the Eighth Prince who took the princess away. He wants to return to the South Country and regain power in the South Country. With the princess in his hands, the old prince of Yuedong has to listen to him."
Murong Jie guessed the truth of his words. Zi'an had the ability to protect herself and had Scar on her body. Logically, Lao Ba could not harm her.
"Your uncle doesn't believe me?" The Seventh Prince looked disappointed. "I didn't expect that your uncle wouldn't believe me. My people saw it with their own eyes. Shangqiu, who was with the Eighth Uncle, told the princess that something had happened to the uncle, and the princess followed him obediently."
Murong Jie thought to himself, if Zi'an was really taken away by Lao Ba as he said, the ancestor would definitely bring people to chase him if he came back, and Lao Ba would not be able to escape.
"Uncle, there is not just one way to go back to the South Country. There are seven or eight ways. Which way do you think the Eighth Uncle will choose? Or is there a way that neither you nor I know?"
The Seventh Prince seemed to see through his thoughts and reminded him lightly.
"Also, my father is eager for the princess to die. You said that the people sent by the ancestor might be able to save the princess, but what about the people sent by my father?"
Murong Jie was cold all over. This kid saw through him thoroughly and found his weakness.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I will accompany you to the Southland."
The Seventh Prince smiled immediately. His little face was like a blooming flower, indescribably delicate and beautiful. "I knew that the Emperor's uncle would definitely agree to my request."
Murong Jie looked at his innocent face and felt disgusted.
He is so vicious at such a young age. What will happen to him when he grows up
In Xiwei Palace.
The pervasive fear seeped into the emperor's heart bit by bit. This fear seemed impossible to suppress, and he seemed to see his life slowly slipping away.
The Empress Dowager has returned, but she has nothing to threaten her. She seems to have agreed to save him, but she wants to instruct Xia Zian to save him. Unfortunately, Xia Zian disappeared at this time.
He felt that everything was controlled by a huge hand behind the scenes, holding the life of this emperor in his hands. He was overwhelmed by fear and felt suffocated.
"Bag… "
He was extremely annoyed and wanted to call someone over, but halfway through he remembered that the villain had betrayed him and died.
If it weren't for him, if it weren't for him, how could Murong Jie escape
Murong Jie was still in his hands, so he had some bargaining chips to confront the ancestor.
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Lu walked in with small steps. His injuries had not yet healed, but after the Empress Dowager prescribed medicine, he felt much better.
The emperor looked at him, his eyes gradually darkened. There was silence in the hall, and his breathing became more and more uneven.
"Where is the body of that cunning slave?"
Eunuch Lu was horrified, "Your Majesty, it has been... thrown into a mass grave."
In fact, he ordered people to bury the body secretly. Could it be that the emperor knew about it
The emperor let out a slight wheezing sound in his chest, and it seemed that blood was rushing up. He was familiar with this feeling. He was about to vomit blood again, and there would still be those tiny worms in the blood.
Sun Fanger, you have caused me so much pain!
"Is your injury healed?" the emperor asked, staring at him.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager prescribed a medicine for me and gave me two pills. I feel much better now," Eunuch Lu replied.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then his slightly raised hand fell down heavily and weakly. "She prescribed medicine for you, but she didn't treat me."
My dear ancestor, you are so cruel!
