Chapter 453 I Don't Want to See Them

The assassin failed to return safely to the prison, and died suddenly on the way and the cause of death is unknown.

Murong Jie seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, this kind of dead man, even if he doesn't die, he can't ask anything."

"It was hard to trap one, but I didn't expect to kill him." Zi'an said depressedly.

"Where is it so easy? You just brought down Mr. Liang, and you can take down Lao Ba right away? You have such a beautiful idea." Murong Jie sneered.

Zian smiled and shook his head, "Don't you want to?"

However, she naturally dared not say that it was she who injected the needle too hard and killed the assassin. What she wanted to take down the assassin was just the poison, not that the assassin fell into Murong Jie's hands.

Because she couldn't be sure whether the assassin would really confess to King Nanhuai. If so, the fate of King Nanhuai can be imagined. His death is not a pity, but the same fate Gu has not been unlocked yet.

She couldn't let Murong Jie accompany King Nanhuai to die.

This trip out of the palace caused the emperor's condition to worsen, so Zi'an could only stay in Xiwei Palace temporarily, on the one hand to manage the accounts in the palace, and on the other hand, to treat the emperor.

The good news came to the palace, and it was brought by Xiao Tuo, who said that Hanshan, after receiving Zhuang Zhuang's consultation fee, informed Zhuang Zhuang that Xiao Xiao's condition was initially stable, but he could not go down the mountain yet.

Zian was curious to know how much money the old prince had collected from Zhuang Zhuang, Xiao Tuochi laughed, "One hundred taels."

"One hundred taels? Then why did your grandfather say that he would spend all his wealth?" Zian asked in surprise.

"Isn't it? I don't understand what my grandfather thinks. He didn't say how much he wanted in the letter. He just asked for a consultation fee to buy medicine. I said that my grandfather was stupid, but he still didn't admit it. He said that a strange person like the old prince asked you for it." The consultation fee must be specified." Xiao Tuo said with a sneer.

Zian also laughed, "Master Hou respects the old prince."

"Stupid is stupid!" Xiao Tuo scoffed.

Zian looked at him, feeling a little speechless in his heart, "Xiao Tuo, do you actually know? No matter how stupid your grandfather is, he can't be as stupid as you."

"This is slander!" Xiao Tuo argued with a blushing face.

"It's slander, you're very smart." Zian said sincerely.

Xiao Tuo looked at her, "This is irony, do you think I can't hear it?"

Zi'an smiled, "Okay, let's stop making trouble, did you just enter the palace to tell me about this?"

Xiao Tuo said: "No, I am now the commander of the imperial army."

"Didn't you also command the Imperial Army before?" Zian remembered that he seemed to have been in charge of the Imperial Army.

"The emperor promoted me now, but before, it was the prince's appointment." Xiao Tuo said proudly.

Zi'an let out a cry, "It's promising!"

"Well, I'm busy. Now the imperial army is in chaos, and I have to rectify it." Xiao Tuo said and left.

Zian looked at his back, and Xiao Tuo had also grown a lot. I remember that when I first met him, I thought he was mature and stable. Later, I found out that it was only the appearance, but the heart was still very naive. However, after going through so many things and getting married again, the whole person Really matured a lot.

This year's end is approaching amidst all kinds of busyness.

The days were quite peaceful, except that King Nanhuai said that he would marry Sun Fang'er in February of the next year and stay in Beijing to do the marriage, everything went well.

The emperor's condition went from good to bad, but the empress dowager felt it was a miracle that he could survive the New Year's Eve.

The Chinese New Year is on holiday, and the court does not open until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so it is rare for Murong Jie to be free.

This is Zi'an's first year in Dazhou, and she attaches great importance to it.

But on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Concubine Sun died of a sudden illness. She has never been favored, and is of no use to Concubine Gui. Death is a matter of time.

However, Zian didn't expect it to be so fast.

Zi'an is the princess, so the funeral of Concubine Sun is naturally going to be handled by her.

Concubine Sun's death did not cause any disturbances, but it delayed the marriage between King Nanhuai and Fang'er.

This meant that King Nanhuai had to stay in Beijing for another hundred days.

It was already the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month after Sun Concubine's funeral was finished, and the funeral was done hastily, because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so it was impossible to have bad luck in the New Year.

The Empress Dowager's health has deteriorated a lot since the crown prince was abolished, and most of the affairs in the palace fell into the hands of Concubine Mei and Concubine Yi.

Zian met Sun Fang'er once in the mansion. She was lonely and had no joy of being a bride at all. When he saw her, he walked by with Murong Jie holding hands. Murong Jie didn't look sideways and just held her little hand. With the look of resentment and jealousy in her eyes, Zi'an knew that she had never let go of Murong Jie in her heart.

Such a strong rival in love, Zi'an sighed inwardly.

With such an outstanding man, he had to put up a hedgehog defense.

Fortunately, this master is very cooperative and doesn't look at other women easily. Zian is very pleased with this.

On the 28th day of the new year, Zi'an entered the palace as usual to treat the emperor's illness.

In the past, the emperor would not talk too much to Zi'an, but this day, he was in good spirits and asked Zi'an to sit down and talk with him.

Zi An only said that he had been sick for a long time and felt bored, and wanted to talk to someone, so he put away the needle and sat down, "What does the emperor want to say?"

The erythema on the emperor's face faded a lot. He looked at her for a long time, and Zian thought he had erythema on his face, so he touched it subconsciously, "Your Majesty?"

Only then did the emperor withdraw his eyes, and his thin lips curled into a smile, "Nothing special, just want to chat with you."

Zian felt that he was very strange today, especially the way she looked at him, it was indescribably weird.

Zi'an had an alarm in his heart, hoping that he would not say anything bad, otherwise he would not be able to pass this year.

After a while, the emperor said, "How is your mother?"

Zian was taken aback, how did this involve his mother? Recalling that I heard that the emperor yearned for his mother back then, shouldn't it be more affectionate?

But it's impossible, he has always paid no attention to the relationship between men and women.

Zi'an cautiously said: "Mother is living indifferently now, and her life is happy, very good, thank you for your greetings."

"After the reconciliation, she never thought about finding someone else to live with?" The emperor seemed not to understand Zi'an's taboo, and instead asked further.

Zi'an's face turned serious, "Well, my mother said that life is good alone, and I don't want to look for it again."

The emperor smiled, "Your mother is a strange woman. In my life, I have never met a woman as beautiful as her."

"

Zi'an forced a smile, "The emperor's reputation is too high, and sometimes beauty is only because of the distance. The distance is too close, and all you can see are shortcomings. In the past, Xia... didn't my father think she was beautiful? Just married Through the door, her goodness has become a stain."

"That's because he doesn't know how to cherish it." The emperor said solemnly, "It's not your mother's fault. If it were another man, he might not be able to treat your mother well."

Zi'an's heart skipped a beat. This other man, he must be talking about himself, right?

But don't do it, it's rare that the mother and Prince An have broken the deadlock now, and it is hoped that all hardships will come to an end, the emperor must not intervene.

"Your Majesty, by the way, Concubine Mei said she wanted to see you before. Since you fell ill, she has been thinking about you. Why don't you put on your face and see her?" Zian quickly changed the subject.

However, the emperor was a little less interested, "No, no, I don't want to see them."
