Chapter 529: Conspiracy 16
Zhou hurriedly called out, "City Brother, Zhou'er wants to tell you something.""It's not proper for you to tell me about this. You should speak to Xi'er instead."Dugu City left behind a sentence and..."When will Ye Xi be back"
Glancing at the sky outside and calculating the time, Ye Xi should have returned by now. I hope nothing happened to her
Dugu Cheng's handsome eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Ye Xi's skills shouldn't be unable to accomplish this.
"Just a little longer, it should be here soon."
As soon as Dugu Cheng finished speaking, he saw Ye Xi clutching his chest and stumbling in. His clothes were covered in blood, his face ashen. When he saw Dugu Cheng, he could no longer hold on and collapsed. Dugu Cheng quickly stepped forward to support him. "Ye Xi, what's wrong with you"
"My Lord, my subordinate was ambushed."
"Someone, quickly find a doctor."
Dugu Cheng hurriedly took out a bottle from his bosom, took out a pill and gave it to Ye Xi. He helped him into the inner room. The doctor arrived and after examining Ye Xi, saw that he had dozens of sword wounds on his body. Although none of them hit vital points, he had fainted due to excessive blood loss.
"If you need help from this Palace, just speak up."
Huangpu Qingyun looked at Dugu City, "Xi'er can't have anything happen, she is the princess of my Huangxia Dynasty."
Dugu City looked at him, and Huangfu Qingyun hurriedly explained, "Father's meaning is that no matter if she is Princess Yaohua or Feng Lingxi, she is a princess of our Huangxia Dynasty, this palace's younger sister."
The Emperor did this to make him completely give up on Xier. He knew they couldn't be together, and that having him acknowledge her as his sister was a way of protecting her. He was content with this.
"It seems I've unwittingly become the son-in-law of the Summer Dynasty."
Dugu Cheng's words made Huangfu Qingyun smile faintly, "Father is just afraid that this palace will not let go."
"I'm sorry, I can give you anything, but not Xier."
Dugu Cheng patted him on the shoulder, while Huangfu Qingyun just smiled. How could he not know.
"Should this Palace go to the Third Prince's Mansion and bring Xi'er back"
He couldn't bear to leave her alone there. He didn't trust that Dugu Yu had pure intentions when he took Xi'er away. Now, Ye Xi was injured, and it was likely that Xi'er wasn't being treated well either.
Dugu Cheng looked at Ye Xi, "Wait until Ye Xi wakes up and asks for clarity. Dugu Yu wouldn't harm Xi'er at this time, the Third Princess still needs Xi'er's treatment." Unless Dugu Yu changed his mind and refused to treat the Third Princess.
"This palace is still not at ease. Ye Xi was injured, and it's very likely that Dugu Yu did it. This palace cannot allow Dugu Yu to harm Xi'er."
"It's snowing heavily outside right now, and we don't know the situation yet. Going to Prince San’s Mansion at this time could expose your identity. Dugu Yu has kept his return very low-key this time. If you go there recklessly, it might be dangerous for you as well. This King doesn't advise you to take such a risk."
"You believe Xi'er can handle this so much"
Huangfu Qingyun felt a bit humiliated. Xi'er marrying him, did she have to rely on herself for everything Could he, as a man, not protect Xi'er well
獨孤城's eyes were resolute. "I believe in Xi'er, she can handle it."
Huangpu Qingyun was angered by his words, but what Dugu City said was right. This time he came, his identity was prominent. There were too many eyes in the capital staring at him. If these eyes were drawn to Dugu Yu's side, it would be mistakenly thought that he, Dugu Yu, colluded with Huangpu Qingyun, which would even cause war. This was indeed not a clear move.
"When Ye Xi wakes up, if Xier is truly in danger, this king will immediately bring the dark guards to rescue her. Huangfu brother, you trust this king and also trust Xier once."
Huangfu Qingyun responded, and only then did Dugu Cheng let out a sigh of relief. As long as Huangfu Qingyun didn't act rashly, Dugu Yu wouldn't be implicated, and Xi'er would have more safety there.
"My Lord, the Consort Shu has news."
A guard's report from outside reached Dugu City, who hurried out. The guard reported, "News from Guanyin Temple says that Taifei Shu is fine and is burning incense at the Guanyin Temple. Please go there."
Dugu Cheng hurriedly said to Huangfu Qingyun, "You stay here, this king will go and pick up the Empress Dowager, and come back to tell you."
Huangfu Qingyun responded, and Duguo City hurriedly took his guards to Guanyin Temple. When they arrived at Guanyin Temple, Shutai's concubine was resting in her private room. Seeing Duguo City arrive, she immediately got up. After a few days, Shutai's complexion was very poor.
"Mother Empress."
Dugu Cheng rushed over, grabbed his mother's arms, and seeing that she was unharmed, hurriedly asked, "Have you been at the Guanyin Temple all these days"
"Amitabha Buddha, Four Heavenly Kings, this old monk has something to say. Recently, the noble consort Shu hasn't been at the temple. This old monk had people search high and low for several days but couldn't find her whereabouts. It was only this morning when the young novice who was cleaning the incense oil room heard a noise that she discovered the noble consort."
The Empress Dowager nodded, “My imperial concubine indeed hasn’t been at the Guanyin Temple these past few days.”
Dugu Cheng helped his mother sit down, "Mother, how have you been these days Did the other party hurt you"
"Mother, don't worry, let's go back and talk later."
Upon hearing his mother's words, Duke Gucheng turned to the abbot beside him, "Master, I have caused you much trouble these past few days. Please forgive me."
"Amitabha Buddha."
獨孤城 helped his mother into the carriage. Looking at her pale face, he felt deeply guilty. "Mother, where have you been these days Do you know who took you"
"The Imperial Noble Consort shook her head, 'That day, my mother and the abbot had just finished speaking when a group of black-clad men stormed in, beat them unconscious and kidnapped them. When they woke up, they were in a carriage. When they got off the carriage, several masked men took them down and locked them in a room. Besides eating, my mother couldn't see their faces at all and didn't know where they were until last night. Suddenly, the black-clad men broke in and took me away, blindfolded, on a carriage. When I woke up, I was awakened by a young novice.'"
"That is to say, the other party wouldn't dare let you know who they are. Mother, do you know how long it takes to travel by carriage"
Shu Taifei thought for a moment, "At least two or three hours."
獨孤城 thought about the journey to Dugu Yu's place, it was very likely at this time that his mother was taken away by Dugu Yu. But what did he want to do with his mother
"Mother, you've worked hard these past few days."
The Noble Consort Shu shook her head, "Mother concubine is fine, it's you who worries too much."
獨孤城伸手抱了抱母妃,“Mother, it’s my unfilial son who has caused you trouble.”
This time, things were probably directed at him. Dugu Yu did this, nothing more than wanting to use his name to compete for the throne. His mother's presence in his hands was a threat to him.
Shutai, who patted his back affectionately, said with a gentle smile, “Silly child, there’s no need to be so reserved with your mother.”
Dugu Cheng let go of his mother, looking at the weariness on her face. "Mother, you rest for a while first. I'll call you when we get home."
Shu Taifei shook her head, "Mother concubine can't sleep. It's you who looks exhausted. You haven't had a good rest these days, have you And how is Xi'er Is she alright"
"Mother, Xi'er is doing well, don't worry."
When it came to Xi'er, Dugu Cheng felt worried in his heart. If his mother was truly taken away by Dugu Yu, then Xi'er, in Dugu Yu's hands, was probably only temporarily safe.
