Emperor Longqing did not seem to hear the sarcasm and suggestion in Empress Dowager Han's tone. He stood up with Zhongguan's arm and smiled and signaled to Ji Xiaotang.?8     ?1 Chinese?

"My mother, I'm leaving." Ji Xiaotang smiled and saluted Empress Dowager Han, then took Xuan'er to follow Emperor Longqing without looking back and went out of Cining Palace.

After leaving Cining Palace, Emperor Longqing suddenly stopped and bent down, coughed violently. He coughed so violently that Ji Xiaotang was even worried that he would cough out his lungs.

"Your Majesty..." Ji Xiaotang stepped forward, but stopped again. At this moment, she felt so powerless when facing Emperor Longqing.

"Nothing, nothing... nothing." Emperor Longqing reluctantly stopped coughing and straightened up with the help of two small middle-aged officials. He seemed to see the fear that appeared on Ji Xiaotang's face, so he hurriedly expressed comfort.

But these words of comfort were so empty and powerless than his current face.

Ji Xiaotang suddenly understood why Empress Dowager Han was so anxious.

Emperor Longqing really can't live long. I'm afraid that Empress Dowager Han is still worried at this moment, worried that Emperor Longqing will die next moment.

"Your Majesty..." Ji Xiaotang's voice was a little choked. In this case, Emperor Longqing should be in bed and recuperating, and he could not leave the Qianqing Palace at all. Emperor Longqing really tried his best to save her.

"Xiaotang, don't do this, you will scare Xuan'er. I wonder, am I scared Xuan'er already?" Emperor Longqing said softly, his eyes falling on Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er's faces, and they were also soft and nostalgic.

Ji Xiaotang lowered his head, Xuan'er was opening his eyes wide, and looked up at her.

Xuan'er didn't cry, but her tears were already spinning in her eyes.

Ji Xiaotang immediately stopped crying.

"Good Xuan'er, mom is fine, don't be afraid." Ji Xiaotang hugged Xuan'er and patted him gently on the back, "With the emperor and uncle here to protect us, no one can hurt us. Mom is happy."

Ji Xiaotang smiled at Xuan'er.

Xuan'er's little mouth was grinning, and just as Ji Xiaotang was thinking, was about to cry, Xuan'er plunged her head into Ji Xiaotang's arms.

Xuan'er was still scared.

Ji Xiaotang's heart ached faintly.

"Let's go, go to Qianqing Palace." Emperor Longqing waved to Ji Xiaotang, and held Xiaozhongguan's arm into the warm sedan chair. "The fourth brother should be waiting for us there."

There was a small warm sedan chair next to Emperor Longqing's bright yellow sedan chair, which was prepared for Ji Xiaotang. It has to be said that even though Emperor Longqing was terminally ill and rushed to save the people, he still thought very thoughtfully.

Ji Xiaotang held Xuan'er and got into the warm sedan chair. She was even more sure of her judgment.

Emperor Longqing was indeed a very gentle and considerate man.

Ji Xiaotang's warm sedan stopped in front of the Qianqing Palace gate. Before Ji Xiaotang got out of the sedan chair, he heard Qin Zhen's voice.

"Dad..." Xuan'er had recovered in Ji Xiaotang's arms for a while. He also heard Qin Zhen's voice and started screaming in a slight voice.

"Xiaotang, Xuan'er..." Almost the next moment, Qin Zhen arrived next to Ji Xiaotang's warm sedan chair and lifted up the curtain.

Qin Zhen's face tense, his eyes full of anxiety. After seeing Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er, his expression relaxed.

"Xiaotang, Xuan'er..." Qin Zhen stretched out his hand and almost half-held Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er out of the warm sedan chair.

Emperor Longqing's warm sedan chair has already entered the Ganqing Palace. His current physical condition is very difficult even in these few steps.

"Prince..." Ji Xiaotang had a lot to ask Qin Zhen, but when he looked at Qin Zhen, he couldn't ask for it for a moment.

Qin Zhen also had a lot to ask Ji Xiaotang, but he didn't ask immediately. He simply said what Ji Xiaotang was most eager to know.

"...I don't know when the formation was set up. There were also imperial guards, so I was tripped. Thanks to His Majesty's attack, he summoned me out..."

Two simple sentences, but Ji Xiaotang heard all the bloody storms from it.

"...My mother left me to speak in Cining Palace and gave me tea and snacks..." Ji Xiaotang also briefly explained his experience.

Qin Zhen's face, which was originally slightly relaxed, immediately tensed up again. His hands subconsciously exerted force. Ji Xiaotang felt a pain in his arm and immediately screamed.

Only then did Qin Zhen realize his incompetence and quickly let go of Ji Xiaotang, but the next moment he held Ji Xiaotang tightly.

Qin Zhen's eyes turned red and his eyes turned red.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly handed Xuan'er to Qin Zhen's arms and asked Qin Zhen to hold Xuan'er.

"Prince, I'm fine, you know."

In a word, it was a long distance for Qin Zhen, as if he was rescued from hell in an instant and went to the nine levels of heaven.

"Xiaotang..."

"Thanks to your Majesty who went in time..."

Before the two could tell the details of the separation, a central official came to pass the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty asks the prince and the princess to bring the little prince into the palace to talk..."

Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang came to their senses, smiled at each other, and then turned around and stepped into the Ganqing Palace.

In the main hall of the Ganqing Palace, Emperor Longqing leaned against the imperial couch, his expression was a little depressed. In February, there was still a brazier in the room, and Emperor Longqing was still wearing a cloak of sable fur.

"It's a little hotter in the room, please let someone remove a brazier." When Emperor Longqing saw them coming in, he ordered the people serving next to him.

Qin Zhen hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to do this. The weather is particularly cold today, so that's great." Qin Zhen was obviously telling lies, but to accommodate Emperor Longqing.

Emperor Longqing looked at the two of them carefully, then looked at Xuan'er.

Xuan'er seemed to have no discomfort with the temperature in the room. Emperor Longqing gave up and asked Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang to sit in front of him.

"...I don't know when the formation was set up in the palace. Feng Changshuo was bold and dared to lead the fourth brother to the formation. I don't know. Thanks to the alertness of the fourth brother, I came to report the news to me in time, otherwise, I would have to let my fourth brother suffer aggrieved today."

This is a little different from Qin Zhen's narrative. Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen and Qin Zhen nodded slightly.

Ji Xiaotang immediately understood that the scene at that time should be very critical. Qin Zhen just told her a gentle version. It means that he didn't want her to worry.

What she said to Qin Zhen just now was the same. The two of them really thought of going to the same place.

Through Emperor Longqing's simple narrative, Ji Xiaotang quickly understood the whole story.

Qin Zhen was beaten and coaxed away by Empress Dowager Han and was then led into the formation. He was trapped by Feng Changshuo and others. Qin Zhen was unable to break the formation, so he immediately became wise and beat the guards with the best kung fu around him and broke through the formation and went to the Ganqing Palace to ask Emperor Longqing for help.

After breaking the formation and meeting Emperor Longqing in the Ganqing Palace, Ji Xiaotang could imagine how difficult it was and how many people would bleed from it.

"Then..." Ji Xiaotang wanted to ask if the guard was still alive.

Ji Xiaotang knew the best guards around Qin Zhen, who were the most trusted and reliable, who knew Ji Xiaotang. Those people were the ones who accompanied Qin Zhen to Qingyuan to visit Qingyuan in secret, and they also saved Master Ji San in the mountains of Qingyuan.

"He was injured, but he was still alive." Before Qin Zhen could answer, Emperor Longqing saw what Ji Xiaotang wanted to know and smiled to relieve her.

Ji Xiaotang still looked at Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen nodded: "He will be fine."

Ji Xiaotang was relieved. Being able to see Emperor Longqing alive and successfully conveyed the news did not mean that he could survive. After all, it was impossible for the guard's sword to emerge from the formation and to the front of Emperor Longqing of the Ganqing Palace.

Qin Zhen said that he would be fine, which means that the matter would be settled and he would not be held accountable.

Emperor Longqing knew that Qin Zhen was trapped in the formation, and Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er were left in the Ganqing Palace by Empress Dowager Han, so he immediately understood what Empress Dowager Han was going to do.

Now the person who knows Queen Mother Han the most is Emperor Longqing.

While Emperor Longqing beat someone to pass the imperial edict, he released Qin Zhen, while he went to Cining Palace to rescue Ji Xiaotang.

It has to be said that Emperor Longqing was the most wise choice. An imperial edict could suppress Feng Changshuo, but only Emperor Longqing himself could rescue Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er from the hands of Empress Dowager Han.

"It scared Xiaotang and Xuan'er," Emperor Longqing looked at Ji Xiaotang apologetically. "Xiaotang, have you ever..."

"Report to Your Majesty, I..." Ji Xiaotang paused for a moment, and suddenly decided to be honest with Emperor Longqing and tell her secret.

Emperor Longqing, who was able to anger Queen Han in person and sacrifice his life to save her, is trustworthy.

"... At first, I thought the Queen Mother wanted to convince me, and then convinced the prince through me. The Queen Mother asked me to send me a cup of tea, and I was about to drink tea..."

As Ji Xiaotang said, he raised his hand and gently rolled up his sleeves, revealing the beads on his wrist.

"This string of beads..." Qin Zhen immediately recognized the string of beads in Ji Xiaotang's hand.

"Yes," Ji Xiaotang nodded, "This is the string of beads that the Taiyang Princess gave me."

"The Princess Taiyang gave it to you?" This was obviously the first time Emperor Longqing heard about this.

Ji Xiaotang told Emperor Longqing that the beads were given to her by the Too Long Princess Qin Min during her lifetime and asked her to carry them closely. She did listen to the Too Long Princess' words, and since she got the Too Long Princess, she has been wearing them on her hands and has never taken them off enough.

"I think it was these beads that saved my life today."

Ji Xiaotang gently took the beads from his hands, looked at them carefully, and finally stopped his fingers on the beads.

This bead looks no different from other beads, but if you check it carefully, you will find a crack on the bead.

"...It was fine, but I heard a light sound, looked down and saw that the bead was cracked."

"You mean, when you came into contact with that cup of tea, the bead broke?" Emperor Longqing asked Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang nodded: "Yes."

It was precisely because the bead suddenly cracked that Ji Xiaotang felt alert in her heart. The cup of tea that Empress Dowager Han asked Yang Pianpian to offer her was just like that, without any drop of it.

"That cup of tea..." Emperor Longqing's eyebrows frowned tightly.

"...After I put down the teacup, the palace maid took it away." Ji Xiaotang told Emperor Longqing.

Emperor Longqing did not speak for a long time, and his face looked gloomy and gloomy.

"Your Majesty..." Emperor Longqing was silent for too long, and his face was too scary. Qin Zhen couldn't help but speak out to remind him.

Emperor Longqing then came to his senses, his eyes swept over Qin Zhen's face, and then fell on Ji Xiaotang.
