"No! Please show some mercy, my lord. I can work like a slave for you. Please let me go!"

Mu Lian knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. Until now, she still didn't understand what mistake she had made and why the man in front of her wanted to kill her, but she didn't want to die.

Her life has just begun, and she has not yet enjoyed wealth and glory!

"Si Xuan, you can't do this, she knows nothing, she is innocent!"

The Queen Mother was also anxious. How dare he!

"Innocent? Ha!"

Si Xuan couldn't help but sneer as if he had heard a huge joke.

"Since she came into this world, she is not innocent!"

"you...!"

The Queen Mother was choked to death by his words and didn't know what to say for a moment. Mu Lian beside her couldn't even cry. She didn't know what she had done wrong. Could it be that she couldn't have come into this world?

"Queen Mother, what did Lian Er do wrong? Why did they treat Lian Er like this?"

Mu Lian grabbed the empress dowager's clothes, hoping that she could give her an answer.

"My child, I am sorry for you..."

The Queen Mother choked up and held the person in her arms. She knew that they would not be able to escape death today no matter what. Looking at her granddaughter, her heart was wrenched with pain.

Si Xuan was too lazy to watch the deep affection between the grandparents and grandchildren. He left Anying to take care of the funeral, then turned around and left Shou'an Palace without looking back.

On the other side, Eunuch Gao took great pains to get the emperor to Qianfeng Palace.

"Ugh..."

Seeing the emperor's hopeless look, Eunuch Gao sighed helplessly. This was not something he could persuade the emperor to do. Besides, even if he did, it would not work!

The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it!

Eunuch Gao only hoped that the Regent would come and enlighten the Emperor as soon as possible. If things continued like this, he was worried that the Emperor would really torture himself to death.

However, the person he had been waiting for to solve the problem did not show up in Qianfeng Palace until dark. Eunuch Gao's heart instantly sank, and he did not want to have a peaceful night.

The emperor was also in torment. He was hoping that he would come to see him, but he was also afraid to see him. He spent the whole day in a daze and didn't even have lunch.

As the sky darkened and the lights in the palace were turned on, the figure still did not appear.

The emperor's eyes turned red again.

“Goldman Sachs…”

This was the first time the emperor spoke since returning, and his voice was so hoarse that even his notes broke.

"Your Majesty, would you like to summon the imperial physician?"

Eunuch Gao was so frightened that he thought it was a wild duck that had come from somewhere and was quacking.

The emperor closed his eyes and shook his head. When he opened his eyes again, tears were in his eyes. He looked at Eunuch Gao like a helpless child. He didn't even need to say a word to make people feel heartbroken.

Seeing this scene, Eunuch Gao forgot all the love and hate that had happened before, and was left with only worry and heartache.

"Your Majesty, eat something and have a good sleep, everything will be over."

Eunuch Gao didn't know how to persuade him. He didn't dare to mention the Regent at all because he didn't know what the Regent was thinking.

Logically speaking, the Regent would never believe what the Queen Mother said, but since she did not come to Qianfeng Palace that day, Eunuch Gao was not sure what this meant.

"Can we still get through?"

The emperor looked at him pitifully, and the grievance in his eyes made it hard to say no.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will definitely pass."

Anyway, tomorrow is a new day, and today has passed no matter what. As for the rest, it is not up to him to decide.

"I can't get through! I can't go back!"

The emperor covered his face and cried again. He was in deep self-blame and could never forgive himself.

"His Majesty..."

Eunuch Gao was helpless. If things continued like this, the emperor's body might not be able to bear it. Thinking of this, he quietly retreated.

Xiao Shunzi, who was standing outside the door, came back from his hometown today. He didn't know what had happened, but he knew that the matter must be very serious. He was guarding outside the door and didn't dare to leave for a moment.

"Master?"

"Leave the palace immediately and invite Doctor Wu here!"

Eunuch Gao handed him a token and said nothing else.

"Yes, Master. I will go right away."

Xiao Shunzi took the token and ran away. He did what his master said unconditionally. Since he had to ask for Doctor Wu so late at night, the matter must be very tricky, so he certainly didn't dare to delay.

Eunuch Gao was also very pleased. Fortunately, he had a sensible apprentice, otherwise he would have been tortured to death.

Nanchu Zhenguogong Mansion

Another big battle is about to begin. The servants in the mansion are no longer surprised by it. One or two such battles take place almost every day these days.

"I am Qi's biological grandfather. How can I not be present when my granddaughter gets married?"

Mr. Situ was the first to speak in dissatisfaction.

"I'm her uncle. When my niece gets married, shouldn't I be there to support her?"

Situ Ming said eagerly.

The others just rolled their eyes, speaking as if they were not relatives!

"You two grown men can't enter a girl's boudoir. It's better for me to go."

Chu said with pride that they would never snatch this reason from her.

Sure enough, after these words were spoken, all the grown men shut up obediently.

"When my sister gets married, she has to be carried by her brother, so I have to go this time."

Situ Che quickly went over the marriage process in his mind and finally found a legitimate reason.

But Situ Hao was not happy about it. He could recite it well, but looking at his elder brother's slightly threatening eyes, he could only protest in his heart.

But this time he said he had to go no matter what!

"Ahem, when the groom goes to pick up the bride, there must be brothers from the bride's family blocking the door. We can't just let him marry Xiaoqi so easily."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him with great admiration. He dared to stop that man. Putting aside other things, just the courage alone was beyond their reach.

Now only Situ Ze was left. He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable reason. But does it matter? Anyway, he must go.

"I am my sister's only brother!"

Situ Zeao said, I am the youngest and I am proud!

"I don't care. I'm going to go this time anyway."

"Father, you are old, you should stay in the mansion, and your son will go in your place."

"Bullshit, I'm still young, who dare you replace me?"

After Grandpa Situ finished speaking, he kicked him. Situ Ming did not dare to dodge and took the kick obediently. His face showed an expression of aggrieved.

As for the three Situ brothers, none of them gave in to the other. At this moment, all the concepts of fatherly love and filial piety, brotherly friendship and respect for younger brothers were thrown out of the window by them.
