Looking at the place that she had once desperately wanted to set foot in, Liu Rumei didn't take a step forward.
She said indifferently, "Who on earth are you?"
"Why bother to care? It's just a dream," came the reply.
A bitter feeling welled up in Liu Rumei's heart. Was it like Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?
"Why me?" Why had she been brought here and now was being asked to leave?
"Everything is predestined in the nether world. Go back to your world. Everything will return to calm."
Return to calm?
What about Mo Liandi? Was he just a character in a dream?
...
At this moment, Mo Liandi's face was deathly pale. Watching his own blood slowly flowing into Liu Rumei's body, his eyes were filled with hope.
Liu Liu, you must wake up...
Ye Lin's eyes were extremely complicated at this moment. Looking at the pale - faced woman on the bed, he sighed deeply. Now they could only hope that God was on their side.
Watching the black - colored blood slowly oozing out from the fair arm, with a faint stench, Sixi beside them felt heart - ache.
In the past, she was most afraid of such scenes, and now she still felt scared, scared that Liu Rumei would never wake up again.
Seeing her eyes red and tightly clutching her own arm, Ye Zhe couldn't help but frown slightly, a flash of heart - ache in his eyes.
He stepped forward and gently held her fair hand, saying softly, "She'll be okay."
The princess consort would surely wake up.
At this moment, Sixi's whole heart was on Liu Rumei. For a moment, she didn't notice that her little hand was being held. Her black eyes were still firmly fixed on the woman on the bed.
Just then, Uncle Zhang rushed over in a hurry and knocked on the door using the secret signal that only they could understand.
Ye Zhe and Ye Lin's expressions changed instantly.
Damn it!
Mo Yun had come at this very moment! That damned imperial physician really shouldn't have been spared.
Mo Liandi's face was icy cold, but his gaze on Liu Rumei in his arms was extremely gentle.
Ye Zhe endured the anger in his heart. He winked at Ye Lin, reluctantly let go of Sixi's hand, and turned to walk towards the door.
At that moment, Sixi wondered if it was just an illusion, but she always felt that the killing intent on this man had intensified a bit more.
In the front hall.
The maids around knelt on the ground respectfully, without a trace of panic on their faces.
When Ye Zhe arrived, he saw Mo Yun sitting in the chief seat, wearing a bright - yellow robe. Beside him was Bai Hanfei in a bright - red official robe. A flash of coldness passed through Ye Zhe's eyes.
He stepped forward respectfully and bowed, "Your Majesty."
Mo Yun smiled, "I have something important to discuss with the Prince of Guo'an."
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the back courtyard.
Ye Lin immediately stepped forward and blocked Mo Yun's way. Before he could say a word, the eunuch Xu behind Mo Yun shrilled, "Bold!"
Ye Zhe suppressed the cold killing intent in his heart and said neither over - deferential nor over - arrogant, "The prince is not in the mansion at the moment. Please forgive us, Your Majesty. I'll send someone to look for the prince right away. Please wait a moment."
Hearing this, Bai Hanfei stepped forward, "I've heard that the prince hasn't left the mansion for several days."
As soon as these words were spoken, a figure suddenly rushed into the front hall in a complete mess. "Your Majesty, please save me! The Prince of Guo'an intends to rebel and wants to harm Your Majesty!"
As soon as these words came out, the coldness in Ye Zhe's eyes deepened. He looked coldly at the trembling man kneeling on the ground in a mess and said indifferently, "If what you said is true, would you still be alive to come here?"
This hit the nail on the head, and the words on the man's lips were stuck in his throat. But soon, he rolled his eyes and said again, "That's because you want to drug Your Majesty!"
Mo Yun's face was frosty. Eunuch Xu also stood in front of Mo Yun, his eyes full of anger. "Bold! Your Majesty has trusted the mansion of the Prince of Guo'an so much, but unexpectedly, you've harbored evil intentions! Your hearts deserve to be punished!"
Hearing such incriminating words, a flash of mockery passed through Ye Zhe's eyes. He said indifferently, "If the mansion of the Prince of Guo'an really had the intention of treason, you would have lost your life here long ago!"
They knew exactly who the real traitor was. Now the prince just wanted to take back what belonged to him.
Moreover, he was right. With his skills, it would be easy to kill this noisy man.
Eunuch Xu panicked, but thinking of Mo Yun behind him, he gained some confidence. "Presumptuous! Call out the Prince of Guo'an. If he has no intention of treason, he shouldn't be afraid to confront people face - to - face!"
No matter how powerful Mo Liandi was, he was now like a turtle in a jar. As long as he could help the emperor accomplish this, there would surely be rewards for him in the future.
Bai Hanfei also nodded, "Eunuch Xu is right. The prince is in the mansion, but he refuses to show up for so long. Could it be that he really has such intentions?"
Now the situation didn't allow him to back down. Bai Hanfei felt extremely bitter in his heart. Now he could only hope to capture Mo Liandi completely today! Maybe Mo Yun would spare Haoyu's life for the sake of their blood relationship!
Ye Zhe sneered in his heart. Mo Yun clearly knew the prince's situation. Now he was just deliberately putting this hat on the prince's head.
"I wonder where you got your information, Lord Bai? The princess consort is seriously ill, and the prince has no intention of dealing with state affairs. Even I haven't seen the prince for several days. Your information is really extremely well - informed."
There was full of mockery in these words, but the expressions of the three people in front remained unchanged.
The imperial physician roared angrily at Ye Zhe, "You're lying! Mo Liandi is in the mansion. Now that his intention is exposed, he dare not come out to confront me!"
"Your Majesty, every word I said is true. Please investigate clearly!"
Mo Yun's face instantly turned cold. "Men, search!"
In an instant, a team of well - equipped soldiers rushed in from outside. Ye Zhe recognized them. They were the imperial guards from the palace!
There was only one answer as to why the imperial guards would appear here!
Ye Zhe sneered, looking at Mo Yun with full of mockery in his eyes. "If you want to frame someone, there's always a pretext. Your Majesty should clearly know who the real traitor is!"
The prince was the one who complied with the mandate of heaven. The man in front of him was just a despicable and shameless villain.
Mo Yun's heart skipped a beat, and his face was full of malice. This mansion of the Prince of Guo'an must not be spared!
"Search! Kill anyone who tries to stop you!"
"Kill!"
Looking at the imposing imperial guards in front of him, Ye Zhe showed no trace of fear on his face. He suddenly drew out his long sword, so fast that it was impossible to catch.
In the blink of an eye, a smell of blood filled everyone's noses.
The imperial physician had already fallen in a pool of blood.
Ye Zhe's cold voice slowly sounded, "Despicable villain. He deserves to die."
