accomplice

Bai Mayan never thought that Zuo Ji just hid Wu Yu in the original room.

Because there were too many things to do and too much to think about, it was so easy for him to deceive the world.

Zilo dragged the man out from under the bed.

Wu Yu took the anesthetic and was still in a deep sleep.

Thoughtfully, Mo Jia and Bai Mayan glanced at each other.

A sly smile spread from the corner of Bai Mayan's mouth.

He asked Zi Luo to help Mo Jia go back to rest.

He stayed here by himself, waiting for Wu Yu to wake up.

Wu Yu slept through the night.

He woke up feeling very uncomfortable, his face was gray and pale, coughing and panting, seeing that Bai Mayan wanted to invite Mr. Zhang for him, he waved his hand to stop him.

"...Now...when is...?"

"Returning to the Holy Spirit, it's already night again."

He frowned.

"...again?" The old man glanced at the slightly open window, it was indeed dark outside, he was very puzzled, he slept and slept for a whole day and night.

The old man rolled his eyes, covered his mouth and coughed a few more times, and asked, "...how's the matter?"

"It didn't work out."

Wu Yu was surprised and raised his eyebrows.

"But Zhong Sheng died."

"What?" His old brow furrowed again.

"……what happened?"

Bai Mayan lowered his head.

Seeing him like this, Wu Yu frowned even tighter: "...Say it!"

"This morning, a group of strange people came to the medicine house. They are..." Bai Mayan glanced at Wu Yu before continuing: "...the second prince's people."

Wu Yu's old eyes narrowed: "Is there any evidence?"

"There is no evidence." Bai Mayan said frankly: "But they know who we are very well, and their goal is very clear. Zhong Sheng was seriously injured to protect His Royal Highness Zuo Ji, and died a moment before Li Xi arrived."

Wu Yu's face darkened.

"...Is there anyone alive?"

"I couldn't keep it."

After hearing this, Wu Yu glanced at Bai Mayan.

A pair of old eyes with cloudy whites, staring at Bai Mayan, full of unkindness and disbelief.

He was wondering how much of this was true.

Bai Mayan let him stare, not guilty at all.

In the end, just listen to Wu Yu: "...Let him take advantage of it..."

This "he" refers to Li Xi.

Not only did Li Xi not kill Zhong Sheng, but he also protected Zuo Ji, so there was no talk of a breakup.

Bai Mayan agrees with this statement.

But he knew that what Wu Yu was really worried about now was not this.

Wu Yu didn't want to show it, but he still had to remind him.

Because he needs him to make a quick decision.

"Your Majesty, today's incident is safe and sound, it's all a fluke. If it wasn't because Li Xi brought people to arrive in time, you and His Highness Zuo Ji must be in danger. If we continue to stay here, maybe We have to go through that kind of thing again, but when the time comes, it's hard to say how many people will come from the other side and whether we can escape."

Of course Wu Yu knew.

There was a murderous look in the old eyes, and his face changed again and again. After thinking about it, he said to Bai Mayan: "...you let them prepare, bring Dr. Zhang and Li Xi and others, and let them escort us back to Beijing."

This is exactly what Bai Mayan wanted.

He took command, and at last, went out.

Afterwards, the return to Beijing went surprisingly smoothly.

Even the most difficult Zuo Ji didn't have any opinions.

Zuo Ji had a very serious concern in his heart.

As soon as he returned to Beijing, he immediately asked Wu Yu for permission to see Concubine Chong.

Wu Yu knew that he had something on his mind, so he allowed him to go first.

Someone came to report to Empress Chong, and Empress Chong was very happy when she heard it.

Unexpectedly, before the person who notified on this end had time to withdraw, Zuo Ji on the other end was led by someone, and he had already arrived.

"...Ji'er." She was very happy, as soon as she went up to meet her, she didn't want Zuo Ji to come to her, and with a "plop", she knelt down on her knees and startled her.

She hurriedly helped him up, but she couldn't help him up, Zuo Ji raised his head, seeing the sadness in his eyes, she suddenly understood.

Her eye sockets were also red.

She is not heartless.

After all, Zhong Sheng was brought up by her alone.

She nodded sadly, as if to comfort herself and him, and said softly: "It's all over..."

"Not yet." Zuo Ji grabbed her hand and begged her: "Zhong Sheng still has a son, I want to beg you..."

"late……"

Her words shocked Zuo Ji.

"what did you say?!"

"Your father is guarding against me. Before the person returns, the letter arrives first, the male is executed, and the female relatives are imprisoned. The gate of my palace has been blocked in the middle of the night, and no news has leaked in. When I know It's too late, but at that time your father hasn't come back yet, I can't even find anyone I can ask..."

Speaking of this, Concubine Chong burst into tears, she sighed, and was speechless for the rest of her words.

Zuo Ji's whole body softened.

His eyes were red, and tears slid down his face, dripping on his clothes.

He rushed back in a hurry, but he still couldn't beat Wu Yu, a treacherous and cunning old man?

He lost his mind, and finally got up and staggered back and forth.

Seeing this, the nurse next to Concubine Chong felt very distressed. Seeing that there was no outsider here, she whispered to Concubine Chong: "Why don't you tell him the truth?"

Concubine Chong glanced at the wet nurse, and finally, looked away at Zuo Ji.

"It's right for him to have a heartache." Concubine Chong said, "The more pain in the heart, the faster he can grow."

She knew that he was not interested in the throne.

But since he has come back, he should be aware of it.

In the palace, there has never been anything you want or don't want, only to survive or not to survive.

Hate is right.

Only with hatred can there be fighting spirit.

Concubine Chong looked at his back and smiled faintly and satisfied.
