Chapter 152 Kneel down
When Xu Qingyin told all this in a very anxious manner, Lu Yan suddenly realized that it was indeed the case.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were so busy competing with Lu Zhou, Lu Wei and the imperial concubine that they forgot about this matter!
If the imperial concubine can really control the emperor, then what is the point of them arguing with him now?
In Yunjin, most people cannot disobey the emperor's words, unless you want to force him to abdicate.
Therefore, the late emperor did so many absurd things that even if the ministers under him were unwilling, they had to obey him, so that Yunjin is now in tatters.
Even the barbarians in the surrounding areas could easily invade, and the court had to constantly marry off daughters from the Western Regions in order to maintain stability.
Although the emperor does not appear to be suspicious on the surface, he is a little absurd on a daily basis and is even more fond of the imperial concubine.
But it is precisely because he looks normal that this insect has been kept hidden for so many years, isn't it?
"It's okay, witch, don't worry. We'll think of a solution. Since the system has given you such a task, think about it carefully."
Xu Qingyin was anxious:
"My previous missions were all simple and similar to transactions, so they were easily completed, and even required compliance with my wishes. This is the first time I've been asked to nearly kill someone, and I don't know what the consequences will be if I fail."
"Don't worry, I'm here."
When talking about this, Lu Yan's eyes were no longer gentle.
If he needs to help in person, even if everything he has done before fails, he will never let Xu Qingyin be in any risk.
Xu Qingyin thought about it carefully, and finally calmed down. She said to 101:
"Do you know of any solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a very critical situation right now."
101 was just a messenger. In fact, most of the time he didn't understand anything. But seeing how anxious the host was, he did give him some ideas that were not really ideas:
"Since you are so anxious, why don't you go find Master Xu? Master Xu is always the master of all plans. If there is anyone who knows Yunjin and the monarch best, it is Master Xu."
Xu Qingyin had thought about this method, but she felt that her mother was in poor health in prison, and it would not be good to ask her more questions and let her worry about so many things.
What's more, the Imperial Concubine now has control over the Emperor. Even if she asks him to issue a decree to depose the Crown Prince, the Emperor will vomit blood on the spot.
Now the imperial concubine's power has spread to a point they cannot imagine. If the two of them go to find Xu Guoshi and are caught by the imperial concubine, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But now that the emperor is vomiting blood in the court, it doesn't seem that the imperial concubine wants to take the emperor's life, but just wants to give them a warning.
If the Imperial Concubine stops operating the poisonous insects, the Emperor's health will even get better. What should Xu Qingyin do then?
Although I am timid most of the time, I felt scared when I first received this task. I even felt panic and incompetent when I thought about taking responsibility for the fate of all the people in Yunjin.
But the more dangerous the situation became, the clearer Xu Qingyin's mind became, and she paced back and forth here.
"No, no, there are too many traps here. We absolutely cannot go to my mother now. The Imperial Concubine may not be very smart after giving birth to two children, but she is definitely not an ordinary person. What if this is a trap she set for us?"
But things in this world don't always go as planned. Just as Xu Qingyin finished speaking, the servant who had been accompanying Xu Luohan in the Xu family's dungeon stumbled in:
"Miss Xu, Miss Xu, no, Master Xu, something terrible has happened. Master Xu has collapsed in the dungeon, his entire body has collapsed, and he's only breathing his last..."
"What? How is this possible? The last time I saw my mother, she was in good health. How could she collapse so easily now? Explain yourself!"
As soon as Xu Qingyin mentioned his mother, she lost her composure.
"Bold servant, do not make false reports. If you scare Master Xu, the consequences will be disastrous."
The maids beside Xu Qingyin also hurriedly scolded her, because they knew how much their master cared about his mother.
"Master, you've wronged me. How dare I make such a joke? This is a critical moment. You should think of a solution. It seems someone is not giving Master Xu food, and some are even beating her up..."
When Xu Qingyin heard this, her voice trembled.
Now that things had come to this, how could she not understand? This was the Imperial Concubine's insistence that she go see him.
But she still forced herself to be rational. Tears were already hanging in the corners of her eyes and about to fall, but when she saw Lu Yan, she still forced a smile:
"Your Highness Prince Jing, you know me well. Although my mother and I have only known each other for a short time, she has become the spiritual pillar of my life. I absolutely cannot watch her die. No matter what, I must rescue her from prison."
How could Lu Yan not know when she said these words? He just nodded.
"Go do what you want to do, don't worry, I'm here for you."
After saying this, Xu Qingyin had already prepared a car to go to the palace.
Although he was going to visit the Imperial Concubine, he was holding the Empress's jade token in his hand.
The imperial concubine hadn't even thought about how to get her to the palace. She smiled bitterly.
I didn't expect that she is now a person with concerns, and when you have concerns, you will be controlled by others.
But she would rather be controlled by others than lose this concern.
"Oh my, I never expected that the famous Xu Guoshi would come to visit me in person."
While saying this, the imperial concubine was soaking her hands in hundreds of flowers and goat milk pure water. Her hands were as smooth as mutton-fat jade.
Xu Qingyin didn't continue watching, she just knelt on the ground:
"It's up to the Imperial Concubine to decide. Please spare my mother."
When the Imperial Concubine heard Xu Qingyin say this, she sneered:
"Your knees are so weak right now, but when you attacked my son frantically in the court, did you ever think about the consequences? You are just like that useless Empress Dowager, overestimating your own abilities."
