Chapter 459: 1 Woman, 6 Husbands, 8
Jin Yu and others wanted to resist, but they didn't even have the strength to speak. They could only watch themselves fall into the hands of the robbers.
The robber who was holding Jin Yu also touched his face.
"This young husband is quite young. The touch is so nice..."
Jin Yu felt a chill and turned to look at the Li family, and saw Nan Xi standing on the roof looking at him.
His lips moved and a light flashed in his eyes. Nan Xi sneered, and Jin Yu understood. The light in his eyes dimmed, but he didn't say anything.
"Hand over all your food and money. I'll give you one stick of incense to wait for you. If you don't, I won't wait for you anymore."
"Our boss is merciful and allows you to keep one bag of rations. The rest must be handed in. If we find anyone hiding it, don't blame us for being rude."
The bag of rations she was referring to was a cloth bag containing twenty kilograms.
The second brother pointed at the villagers whose heads were separated from their bodies on the ground and made harsh remarks.
They were in a hurry and had to leave as soon as possible, and they didn't want to kill anyone.
The villagers were indeed frightened and ran home one after another, handing over all the food and silver they had.
The Iron Lady signaled her men to load the food onto the trucks and pack up for departure.
The robbers came and left quickly. In just one hour, they left Shuanghe Village.
"Village chief, the border is not peaceful..."
The old people in the village shook their heads and sighed continuously. Those people just now were obviously soldiers and bandits, not ordinary robbers.
The village chief looked at the robber and sighed.
"There has been a severe drought this year. It has not rained for a long time. Add to that the war. I am afraid this year will be difficult..."
The bodies on the ground had already been collected for burial. The villagers seemed to be used to it and did not resist. Instead, they quietly dispersed and continued to live their lives.
Nan Xi also packed up and prepared to leave.
There is nothing worth leaving here anymore. Nan Xi has the Queen's wealth in her arms, so she must do something.
"The border? Maybe I can go see Qingluan."
Nan Xi sat on Xiaoying's back and flew towards the border.
...
After going through a lot of hardships, Qingluan finally returned to Yuling Kingdom.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard the maid coming to greet him anxiously.
"Fifth Prince, you are back. Concubine Yun has sent people to ask about it several times. It seems that there is something urgent."
Qingluan originally planned to go back to the palace to have a good rest and wash off the dust from the journey, but when he heard the maid's words, he immediately changed direction.
If his father didn't have something extremely urgent, he wouldn't have summoned him so urgently.
"To the palace."
Qingluan's guards also quickly prepared the horses, and the group quickly headed towards the palace.
When the palace guards saw Qingluan coming back, they all saluted. Qingluan nodded, quickly walked through the palace gate, and headed straight for the palace where Concubine Yun was.
As soon as Qingluan stepped into the hall, she saw Concubine Yun pacing back and forth anxiously.
Qingluan's father, Concubine Yun, is the favorite concubine of the King of Yuling State and lives in Yunxia Palace. He is a handsome middle-aged man.
His face bears traces of time, but he still maintains an elegant temperament.
"Father, I'm back."
There was a barely perceptible tremor in Qingluan's voice.
When Concubine Yun saw Qingluan, the anxiety on her face eased a little.
"Qingluan, you are finally back. You don't know that something big happened in the palace in the past few days."
Qingluan frowned, thinking that the thing that could make her father so anxious must be something extraordinary.
He didn't ask any more questions, but just listened quietly to Yun Fei's story.
"Your mother is ill, and now the Crown Princess and several other princesses are ready to make a move. I'm afraid things are going to change in the palace."
Qingluan couldn't help but squeeze the jade bottle in his hand. His mother doted on him very much, but he was a little reluctant to give the medicine away.
Concubine Yun wiped her tears and said, "My son, if your mother dies, your father will not be able to survive."
Qing Luan frowned, "Father, you still have me. I will take care of you."
Yun Fei cried a little softer, and he looked very sad.
"You will get married in the future and take care of your wife. How can you take care of me? I'd better accompany your mother and go together."
Concubine Yun looked at Qingluan with reluctance on her face.
"My son, you are already grown up, and your father can rest assured. You must take good care of yourself in the future."
He said this as if he was making arrangements for his final affairs.
Qing Luan was shocked. "Father, you must not have any thoughts of committing suicide. I have medicine that can save Mother. Don't worry."
Concubine Yun was extremely surprised, "My prince, are you telling the truth?"
Qingluan took out the jade bottle and said, "This is the precious elixir I got in the Daxing Dynasty. With it, my mother will surely live a long and safe life."
Yun Fei's face showed irrepressible joy, and his voice trembled slightly.
"My son, this is great! Your mother's illness has always worried us. Now that we have this precious pill, there is finally hope for her recovery."
Qingluan nodded firmly. He couldn't be so selfish. Besides, the princess was so powerful now and he had no chance of winning. If the queen mother went, both his father and he would be in danger.
"Father, let's go see the Queen Mother immediately and ask her to take this precious pill."
There was a hint of urgency in Qingluan's tone; he wanted to restore his mother's health as soon as possible.
Concubine Yun nodded repeatedly, and he immediately ordered the servants to prepare to go to the empress's bedroom.
The bedroom was filled with the scent of herbs. The palace maids and imperial doctors were busy, but everyone had a worried look on their face.
The empress lay on the bed, her face pale. Her body had been weakened by the illness.
When she saw Qingluan and Yunfei coming in, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
"Mother Queen, I am back."
Qingluan walked quickly to the bedside and said softly, "I have brought you a precious elixir that can heal you."
Concubine Yun waved everyone away, and the three of them chatted.
The empress looked at the jade bottle in Qingluan's hand. A hint of doubt flashed across her eyes, but was quickly replaced by hope.
Qingluan would never lie to her, so what he said could be cured might be true.
"Huang'er, have you really found medicine that can cure me?"
The empress's voice was weak, but with a hint of expectation.
Qingluan nodded, and he carefully opened the jade bottle and poured out the precious pill inside.
The Baodan is round, smooth and delicate, with a fresh herbal fragrance.
"Mother Queen, please take this precious pill."
Qingluan handed the elixir to the Queen Mother's lips.
The empress opened her mouth and with Qingluan's help, slowly put the pill into her mouth.
As soon as the precious pill entered her mouth, the empress felt a cool air flowing down her throat and then spreading throughout her body.
Qingluan and Concubine Yun nervously watched the empress's reaction, hoping that this precious pill could bring a miracle.
However, just a moment later, the empress's face suddenly became extremely ugly, her facial features were distorted in pain, and her body began to tremble violently.
Qingluan's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he held the empress's hand in horror.
"Mother Queen, how are you?"
There was a hint of panic in Qingluan's voice.
The empress struggled to speak, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she could only make unclear sounds.
Her face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue, and she was obviously having difficulty breathing.
"Quickly, send the imperial doctor!"
