Chapter 144 Looking at the Abyss
Du Sixie prescribes a new prescription for Helian Mu Ting and strictly prohibits him from using heavy medicine.

Before leaving, Helian Muting wanted to take away the bamboo slips that recorded Shuo Fengli's affairs, but Bie Xiaoman insisted on not giving it.

Seeing that she refused to give it, Helian Mu Ting had no choice but to give up.

After Xiaoman let the palace staff settle down in the residences of Dusixie, Yingying and Bai Lin, he returned to the bedroom by himself.

Thinking about Helian Mu Ting's illness, she knelt down in front of the book and carefully read the reports sent by the imperial doctor and wizards.

It seems that there is no way to effectively resist the corpse soldiers.

She propped her cheeks and was worrying when she heard footsteps outside the door.Looking up, Lei Yuxiu stepped through the door and walked towards her.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that his expression was wrong, Xiao Man quickly put down the letter and got up and asked.

"You asked He Lianjing to pick up Yunxi and Concubine Ju?" Lei Yuxiu raised his eyebrows, his face dark and terrifying.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xiao Man didn't understand why Lei Yuxiu looked so angry.

"Why didn't you discuss with me in advance and make arrangements without authorization?" Lei Yuxiu asked.

Xiaoman was stunned by his question: "Aren't I worried about Yunxi and Concubine Ju? Now that Empress Yu and Yu Songjie control the government, they must attack Gu Yunzheng. I'm afraid they will attack Yunzheng at that time. Xi and Concubine Ju made an attack, so I sent them to a safe place one step ahead of time. I did nothing wrong, why are you attacking me?!"

"If you take Concubine Ju and Yunxi out of the palace, you will startle the snake and make Yu Songjie think that Gu Yunzheng is going to do something to prevent Gu Wenyuan from becoming the prince!"

"Originally, he would also prevent Gu Wenyuan from becoming the prince. I don't need to remind Yu Songjie, Yu Songjie can think of it with his toes!" Xiao Man said unconvinced.

"Even if Yu Songjie expected that Gu Yunzheng would go back to fight for the crown prince, he currently believes that Gu Yunzheng is now sent to the border to monitor the army, and the whole situation is under his control. And your actions will make him feel threatened, so he will speed up the process." The process of establishing Gu Wenyuan as the prince, and even the process of Gu Wenyuan ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor."

"so what?"

Lei Yuxiu looked at her completely unaware of her mistakes, and his eyebrows turned upside down with anger, "Once Gu Wenyuan ascends the throne, Yu Songjie will be able to gain the military power of the Dapei Imperial Army, and even control the Dapei Army. And when he With the military power, the three thousand soldiers under my command and the entire army under Gu Yunshen will be taken away by him in a legitimate way."

"It's fine if you don't hand over your military power."

"When Gu Wenyuan came to the throne, his words were the imperial edict. Gu Yunshen's failure to obey the imperial edict and refusal to hand over military power is treason, and he will be executed according to the law! Even if he intends to resist the edict, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and family members in the Dapei army, including the concubine. They are still in Dapei territory, do you think he can really refuse to hand in?!"

Xiaoman was stunned by his yelling, completely dumbfounded.

Lei Yuxiu's face was terribly dark, and his gaze was even more penetrating: "Chang Xiaoman, now the concubine has been imprisoned by the empress for disrespect, and Gu Yunshen is in chaos at the border. Once he is in chaos, the morale of the entire Dapei army will be in chaos. But the news has reached the ears of the [-] Pei troops stationed outside Liyang City, do you think they will still focus on attacking the Demon Cult? Tell yourself if you have done anything wrong?!"

"Ms. Concubine Mu is imprisoned?! I'm going, I just think about Yunxi and Concubine Ju, and I completely forget about Concubine Mu." Xiao Man's confident aura is gone now.

She took two steps back, patted her head and sat on the chair, regretting that she hadn't discussed it with Lei Yuxiu first before acting.

But it's too late to say anything now.

"Let me think about it, and I'll make up for my mistakes." Seeing Lei Yuxiu's angry look, Chang Xiaoman fell back.

"From today onwards, you stay in this Beirong Palace obediently, and you are not allowed to control anything, let alone act without authorization!"

"How can I do that? I want to help you." Xiaoman shook his head, tears were about to overflow his eyes.

Lei Yuxiu was angry and helpless, and yelled at her: "Chang Xiaoman, you are helping me if you just wait!"

"You..." Xiao Man just wanted to argue, but saw King Yan coming in a hurry.

"General Lei, Xiaoman," Yan Wang didn't realize that the two people in front of him were arguing red-faced, "Shaoyaofang sent a letter to report that Gu Wenyuan's mind has returned to normal, and now he is no different from a normal person."

"How could it be? How could a fool suddenly become smart." Xiao Man was shocked.

Lei Yuxiu's face became even colder: "Either he has been pretending to be crazy or someone has cured him. If Gu Wenyuan ascended to the crown prince insane, it will be difficult to convince the public in the court. Yu Songjie can only Suppress the suspicion and dissatisfaction of the officials everywhere. But when Gu Wenyuan returns to normal, then no matter whether he ascends to the crown prince or ascends the throne, the resistance will be greatly reduced."

Xiaoman bit her lip, thinking that something bad would happen. If she had saved the concubine at the beginning, Gu Yunshen would not have any worries, and tried her best to resist Gu Wenyuan's becoming the crown prince.

But now, Gu Yunshen must not dare to confront Yu Songjie face to face.

"His Royal Highness, the news about Shaoyaofang has been sent to General Helian, why are you here to convey it today?" Lei Yuxiu asked suddenly.

"His condition has worsened..." Yan lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists.

Xiao Man frowned, thinking that if he really couldn't find a way to heal, Helian Mu Ting didn't know how long he could last.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from outside the hall, and Changfeng Jue flew down, "Mr. Lei, urgent military report!"

When Xiaoman saw Chang Fengjue, he was in a bad mood.

"Say!" Lei Yuxiu looked at Chang Fengjue.

"The Ninth Prince of Dapei ordered that all the Dapei troops in the Beirong territory immediately withdraw to Zhenbei Pass and join the border guards."

"What?! Gu Yunshen wants to withdraw his troops!" Xiao Man was so angry that he almost jumped up, "How can he withdraw as soon as he says?!"

"If you don't withdraw your troops, your right to lead troops will be revoked and General Li Lu will be in charge." Chang Fengjue said to Lei Yuxiu, she didn't even look at Xiaoman.

After hearing this, Lei Yuxiu shook his arm and said to the messenger: "Go, go back to the camp immediately."

"Lei Yuxiu." Seeing that he was about to leave, Xiao Man called him quickly.

Hearing Xiaoman calling him, Lei Yuxiu strode out of the hall without even looking back.

Chang Fengjue summoned Xiao Guai, took Lei Yuxiu on board together, and left Xiao Man's bedroom without looking back.

Xiao Man chased him out of the hall, but saw Xiao Guai's shadow was already close to the clouds.

"Lei Yuxiu!" Xiao Man yelled.

But no one answered in the sky.

She frowned, feeling an unprecedented loss in her heart.

"Xiao Man, are you alright?" Yan asked with concern when she saw that she was staring at the clouds in a daze.

"I'm fine, you can go back, you are needed there even more." Xiaoman forced a smile to Yan, then bowed his head and walked into the bedroom.

"Xiao Man." Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Yan couldn't help calling out to her, "Mu Ting is seriously ill right now, so this country still needs you."

Xiao Man looked back at Xiang Yan, tears streaming from his eyes, "I just want to be needed by Lei Yuxiu, I don't care about the rest!"

She ran back to the inner hall, closed the door, angry and wronged.

The virtual beast flew to her side, staring at her with big round eyes, with a puzzled expression on its face.

Xiao Man buried his head in the quilt, not wanting to play with it.

Fu Xu Beast felt bored, so he rummaged around, and suddenly found a glass bead in the box of Xiaoman's dressing table.It put its ears on it to listen, and could hear the crying sound. When it looked carefully, the face of the dead soul suddenly appeared in front of it. It was so frightened that it let go, and the beads fell to the ground and shattered.

Xiao Man heard the sound and got up from the bed.

The dead soul was no longer imprisoned, and was already flying in mid-air.

"It's really unlucky today!" Xiao Man looked at the broken glass on the ground, and at the group of dead souls floating in the air, already wanting to growl.

Just as Xiaoman was about to lose his temper at the beast, he saw that the dead soul stopped crying, looked left and right, seemed very surprised, and floated out along the crack of the door.

"Don't run, don't run, you will become a lonely ghost and scare people to death." Xiaoman sighed and chased him straight away.

The soul of the dead floated so fast, Xiao Man had to use lightness kung fu to catch up.

I saw the souls of the dead drifting into the Zangshu Pavilion as if they knew the way.

Xiao Man followed and watched it float through the wall into the secret room.

She opened the mechanism and entered the secret room, seeing a strange and inexplicable scene.

In the secret room, Xiaoman has arranged for the palace staff to bury six of the seven corpses, leaving only the most complete one, and asked the palace staff to prepare a coffin and put it in.

At this time, the dead soul was fixed in front of the coffin, staring at the person in the coffin without moving.
