"Miss~Miss, wake up, wake up..." Dong Yu shouted anxiously.
Yu Shui touched Yan Muxi's neck artery through the iron cage and said, "Sister Dongyu, don't worry. The young lady is still alive!"
The door of the iron cage was blocked by drought, and they could only rescue Yan Muxi by breaking two iron pillars.
The rain protected Yan Muxi, and Jingzhe and several others smashed the iron pillars from the other side. It took a lot of effort to break two of them. Everyone worked together to rescue Yan Muxi from the cave.
After a while, more and more soldiers rushed onto the city wall. The group evacuated quickly, and after safely getting down from the city wall, they headed towards the nearest house.
As the sun was setting, Yan Muxi slowly opened her eyes and saw the soft moonlit bed curtains.
Before I could think, I heard a surprised female voice, "Miss, you are finally awake!"
Turning her head and seeing the joyful rain, coupled with a slight pain in her head, she was sure that she was not dead but still alive!
Before entering the palace, Yan Yongchen promised her that he would do his best to protect her. So, even though she was extremely panicked, she kept waiting, waiting for the adversity to be reversed.
It was not until Yu Wantai raised the knife that she made up her mind to end her life.
Locked in an iron cage, she had no sharp weapons on her, so she had no choice but to end her life by hitting her head against the wall or biting her tongue.
The space in the cage was too small and she didn't have much strength. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to kill the creature with her head, so she chose to bite her tongue.
Unexpectedly, the moment she bit her tongue, something unexpected happened. Fortunately, she was inexperienced and the force she bit her tongue was not enough, so she saved her life.
Yan Muxi moved her lips to speak, but found that her tongue was numb and she couldn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Yu Shui said hurriedly, "Miss, you have a wound on your tongue. Aunt Ming gave you a tongue-numbing medicine that can relieve the pain. Miss, please bear with it for two days and wait until the wound is better before speaking. If you have anything to say, just give me a wink. I can understand what you mean."
Knowing what Yan Muxi was most concerned about, Yu Shui continued, "The emperor is dead, and the defenders are in disarray. They can't stop the Dingbei Army at all. The King of Dingbei led his troops into the palace an hour ago. According to the time, the fighting in the palace should be over soon. Sister Dongyu suffered some skin injuries. Because she didn't sleep well for a few days, she took medicine and is sleeping now! Anyway, we are all safe, Miss, don't worry."
Yu Shui paused, "Also, Prime Minister Yan passed away."
Yan Muxi's eyes suddenly widened, and his already chaotic brain turned blank, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.
Yan Yongchen died? How could he die? Who could have taken the life of such an all-powerful and omnipotent person?
After a long pause, Yan Muxi's brain regained the ability to think. She struggled to get up from the bed. Yu Shui hurriedly advised: "Miss, don't worry too much. Madam Man is fine."
Everyone who served Yan Muxi closely knew that she did not have much father-daughter affection for Yan Yongchen, and only cared a little about Qian Manman.
Upon hearing that Qian Manman was safe, Yan Muxi still insisted on getting up. She was eager to know how and why Yan Yongchen died.
Yu Shui was about to persuade her again when Ming Hui came in from outside.
Facing Yan Muxi's surprised and bewildered eyes, Minghui sighed, sat down beside the bed, and said while checking her pulse: "Your father is dead, and your mother said that she poisoned your father. After this great change, I was worried that your mother might have a mental problem, so I forcibly knocked her unconscious and took her out of the Yan Mansion. She was placed in the next room. As for your father, his body was taken away by Yan Da and Yan Er. They said that your father had already told where his body should be."
Yan Muxi opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but only uttered an "ah ah" sound.
It is absolutely impossible for A Niang to poison Yan Yongchen to death. Not to mention how much A Niang cared about Yan Yongchen, with A Niang's mind and ability, she would never be able to plot against Yan Yongchen even if she lived for hundreds of years.
The pulse was fine. Minghui reached out and stroked Yan Muxi's hair, and said earnestly, "Xixi, don't think too much. Your mother thought she killed Yan Yongchen, so let her think so! She has been deceived for most of her life, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to continue being deceived."
What Man'er asked for from her was Zuixin Powder, but Yan Yongchen died from the most painful poison of Gelsemium elegans.
The fact is clear, Yan Yongchen was not poisoned to death by Man'er, but he poisoned himself.
Even if Yan Yongchen died, he didn't want to dirty Man'er's hands, nor did he want to die a good death.
Yan Muxi understood roughly, but not entirely, so she pointed in the direction of the imperial city.
Minghui took a few breaths to realize that she wanted to ask the emperor, and couldn't help but sigh again, "Yu Jinzhou is also dead, bleeding from all seven orifices, exactly the same as your father's death. I guess that both of them must have been infected with the twin life and death Gu. If one person dies, the other will also die."
When Minghui was young, she heard about the Twins and Double Death Gu from her father Minghuai. The Twins and Double Death Gu is also a type of Gemini Gu. It is said that among the generations of Wu Yue clan's witch saints, only a few have ever raised Twins and Double Death Gu. Because it consumes too much essence and blood, even a witch saint with profound witchcraft can only raise a pair of Twins and Double Death Gu in his lifetime.
After learning the reason, Yan Muxi felt a chill in her heart, as if a piece of her heart had been stolen, and she was so cold that she shivered all over.
Yan Yongchen promised to protect her, but he was willing to sacrifice his own life to do so? If that was the case, she didn't want it.
Having been hurt by her so-called biological father for nearly twenty years, she didn't want to be stabbed again, by the soft knife of family affection.
As for why Qian Manman wanted to poison Yan Yongchen, she didn't have the energy to figure it out.
In the more than 20 years of their relationship, her biological mother had never made a firm choice for her. Now that something like this had happened, she would not appreciate it, let alone be fooled.
Her cheeks seemed to be wet and cold, and she quickly raised her hand to wipe them dry, constantly telling herself that she would not be fooled and should not be fooled.
But why can’t my tears be wiped away, no matter how hard I try?
Minghui suppressed the bitterness in her heart, hugged Yan Muxi, patted her back and comforted her softly, "If you want to cry, cry as much as you can. After crying today, you will have happy days in the future. No one can make us Xixi sad anymore..."
Yan Muxi leaned on Minghui's shoulder and cried loudly.
Not until she was tired of crying and her tears were almost dry did she feel better. The dark cloud that had shrouded her heart for many years dissipated quietly.
As the sun was setting, Yu Shui hurried in from outside. Seeing Yan Muxi was awake, he asked carefully, "The King of Dingbei is here. Do you want to meet him, Miss?"
Yan Muxi leaned on the soft pillow with a dazed look on her face. When she heard that Yu Wantai was coming to visit, her expression did not change at all. She just shook her head gently towards the rain.
Yu Shui stood there for a while, making sure that she would not change her mind, before turning around and going out to answer.
In the main hall of the front yard, Yu Wantai showed no surprise when he learned that Yan Muxi didn't see him.
After a moment's silence, he asked Yu Shui, "Has dinner been prepared in the mansion?"
"Ah?" Yu Shui thought she had misheard and was stunned for a few breaths before she said, "It is already the hour of You, so of course I did it."
