Chapter 324 Mother and son reunited
The Qianqing Palace was dead silent in the middle of the night. The moonlight shone through the window sills, casting mottled shadows. Luo Lingyue slipped into Emperor Wen's bedroom silently like a ghost.
Jin Xiaohe was concentrating on lighting the incense sticks when suddenly a silver butterfly flew over her head. She looked up curiously, her eyes following the movement of the butterfly. However, at that moment, a strange force surged into her heart, making her feel sleepy. In the blink of an eye, Jin Xiaohe fell asleep on the table.
Luo Lingyue walked lightly to Emperor Wen's bedside, her eyes flashing with determination and resoluteness. She gently took out a pill and carefully put it into Emperor Wen's mouth. The pill slid down Emperor Wen's throat, as if carrying a mysterious magic.
After a moment, Emperor Wen's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of confusion and fatigue, but when he saw Luo Lingyue, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He tried to prop up his body and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Qi...save me!"
Luo Lingyue looked at Emperor Wen's painful expression, frowned tightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty! Xiao Qi is unable to rescue you, but I can guarantee your safety! As long as you can survive, when His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin returns, he will definitely avenge you!"
Emperor Wen's eyes gradually became moist, tears slid down his cheeks, and he murmured with trembling lips: "Chengjin..."
Luo Lingyue bit her lip lightly and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is currently doing his utmost to provide disaster relief in Jianchuan and will be able to return to the capital soon. However, the Crown Prince has already taken control of the power and the situation is extremely critical."
Emperor Wen's body was shaking continuously, and he said tremblingly: "Nan Yi's... military token!"
Luo Lingyue quickly responded softly: "Your Majesty! Please be patient! You must hold on and wait for His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin to come back!" She knew very well that the situation was serious at the moment, but she had to let Emperor Wen maintain hope and confidence.
Emperor Wen closed his eyes tightly and murmured in a low voice: "Xiao He... I was drugged that day... and when I woke up... Xiao He had fallen from the tower! I... suspect it was... the Queen, the Immortal Master's Mansion... and Jia Guang... If I... die! You will avenge... Xiao He!"
After Emperor Wen finished speaking, he fell into coma again.
Luo Lingyue returned to Wu'an Palace, frowning and silent.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinghan asked, "Is Emperor Wen's time coming?"
Luo Lingyue stared at him and responded softly: "Although Emperor Wen did not directly murder your mother, everything was caused by him! So I didn't want to save him! But tonight he told me that in addition to the Queen and Jia Guang, the Immortal Master Mansion was also involved in the murder of your mother!"
"The Immortal Master's Mansion?" Xiao Jinghan said in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
His face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "In its early years, the Immortal Master's Mansion was just a small, unknown Taoist temple with no reputation at all. However, it was because of the help and support of Li Mingfu that they were able to rise and become the largest sect in Dazhao."
Luo Lingyue's eyes were as sharp as a knife. She keenly noticed the clues and said, "In this case, what Emperor Wen said is very likely to be true!"
Xiao Jinghan snorted coldly and said in a cold tone: "I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly! No one who has harmed my mother will be spared!" His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he had made up his mind to solve this mystery.
After a period of hard work, the disaster in the three states of Jianchuan was finally basically under control. However, at this time, an unexpected person appeared in the disaster area - Princess Anle Kong Luanying. She actually came to the resettlement site to look for the King of Qin.
During this period of time, the King of Qin has been fighting at the forefront of disaster relief, and he has been so busy that he has almost no extra time and energy to have much contact with Kong Luanying. He only vaguely knows that Kong Luanying may be his father's man, but the specific situation is not clear.
The King of Qin followed Kong Luanying to the Anle Palace. After entering the palace, Kong Luanying waved to all the servants to leave, then suddenly knelt on one knee and saluted the King of Qin: "Your subordinate Kong Luanying greets the master!"
When the King of Qin heard this address, his pupils shrank instantly, and he was filled with surprise. He never expected that Kong Luanying would actually call him master. What did this mean? He couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
Seeing the look of astonishment on the face of the King of Qin, Kong Luanying lowered her head and explained, "Your Highness, my father was the guard assigned to the virtuous king by the late emperor! In order to protect the virtuous king, he lurked beside your majesty and became the leader of the secret guards!"
When the King of Qin heard this, he couldn't help but straighten his lips, with a flash of surprise and confusion in his eyes. To him, this military advisor Kong was just a legendary figure, and he had never thought that there was such a hidden background story. What surprised him even more was that it turned out that military advisor Kong was a double-faced secret agent!
Kong Luanying felt a little uneasy when she saw the King of Qin remained silent, but she still mustered up the courage to continue, "The wise king asked my father to follow the King of Wu'an to help His Royal Highness the King of Qin achieve great things! Master! I will take you to see the new nobleman in the palace now!"
The King of Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a little curiosity. What kind of person could be called a noble lady by Princess Anle? This question puzzled him, but at the same time, he was full of anticipation for the upcoming meeting.
Kong Luanying carefully helped the King of Qin into the house. They walked lightly, fearing to wake up the person lying on the bed. The King of Qin looked at the gorgeous bed in front of him and couldn't help but feel curious.
There was a pretty and charming woman sleeping on the bed.
An indescribable feeling of intimacy surged in the heart of the King of Qin. He unconsciously moved closer to the bed, wanting to take a closer look at the woman's face. The King of Qin saw that this woman was actually his mother, An Qinghuan!
He was so nervous that he couldn't breathe. He reached out his hand tremblingly to touch her cheek and called in a low voice: "Mother..."
King Qin's voice was full of worry and uneasiness, he was afraid that all this was just a dream. However, when he saw An Qinghuan's slightly trembling eyelashes, he knew that this was not a dream, but something that really happened.
Kong Luanying stood aside and explained to the King of Qin softly, "Master, you don't have to worry too much. The Royal Concubine was framed by the Crown Prince and was accused of attempting to assassinate Your Majesty. Fortunately, Princess Wu'an was very clever and came up with a plan to let the Royal Concubine fake her death to escape."
When the King of Qin heard this, his worries were slightly relieved. He looked at Kong Luanying gratefully, then turned his head and stared at An Qinghuan.
King Qin knew that without Luo Lingyue's help, he might never see his mother again. Thinking of this, King Qin's heart was filled with gratitude.
At this moment, King Qin finally felt relieved. He looked at Kong Luanying with gratitude, and then turned his gaze to An Qinghuan on the bed again.
The King of Qin frowned and whispered, "What happened in the imperial city?"
