Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

"Is there a way to rescue them?"

"It's difficult. The five thousand and three thousand troops of Yelan Kingdom are all holding hands in the place where the people are detained. The Crown Princess is sure that you will not bet on the lives of these people."

Hearing this, Xia Houqi frowned.

He never imagined that Xiao Ruyan would lead to such serious consequences. If he had known that Xiao Ruyan would become what he is today, he would have killed her.

It really is a disaster!

"So it's better to consider this matter in the long term. I will deliver the news to you immediately. I also hope that Brother Xiahou can agree to my request."

"If you want me to let the prince of Yelan Kingdom go, then there is no need to talk anymore."

Xia Houqi strangled Cang Qingtian's words in the cradle.

"Brother Xiahou, it's not that I want to explain to the prince brother, but the previous prince brother really would not be like this. He was confused by the princess. I suspect that she drugged the prince brother, otherwise the prince brother would not be right. She’s so obsessed!”

"Cang Qingtian, the revenge for the massacre of the city must be avenged. For the sake of our friendship, I can let you go, or I can not launch an attack on Yelan Kingdom, but your brother the prince cannot escape the involvement of the border city. , As for Xiao Ruyan, I will never let her go!"

Cang Qingtian was at a loss when he saw that Xiahou had abandoned others and refused to accept them. He seemed to have entered a dead end.

After roughly understanding the situation in the city, Xia Houqi returned to Xiangmeng City.

There are several difficulties in regaining the border town right now.

[-]. The beasts under the city wall need to be dealt with; [-]. The reason why those soldiers feel no pain needs to be found; [-]. How to rescue the captured people.

The first point is that Xia Houqi now has a solution. Xiaotian is also a tiger, and he can feel that the white tiger is the king among his kind. He believes that Xiaotian can surprise him.

As for the soldier's pain problem, he needed to ask Xiafeng Yue to see if she knew any medicine that could block pain, and then find a way to overcome it.

As long as the first two points are solved, the last point will be easily solved.

However, after Xia Houqi returned, he asked Fengyue, but Fengyue said that he did not know that there was such a drug that could block pain while keeping people awake.

We are now at an impasse, with no way to break it.

Until the arrival of Xiao Tian and Nan Xi, Xia Houqi was very surprised.

"Your Majesty, Di Ji is here!"

When Xia Houqi heard what his subordinate said, he immediately stood up and was about to go out to greet him, when he saw Nan Xi riding a white tiger towards him.

Xiao Tian walked to Xia Houqi's feet, stopped, lowered his head slightly, and let Nan Xi walk down.

Xia Houqi stepped forward and took her hand.

"Why are you here too?"

"What, don't you welcome me?" Nan Xi raised her chin and looked at Xia Houqi.

"Of course not, it's just a surprise. I thought there were only Xiao Tian and Ta Feng."

"I and my father please request us to come to Xiangmeng City to help the regent." Nan Xi said with a smile.

"My lord, I would like to welcome the Emperor Ji."

After the joy of meeting gradually cooled down, Xia Houqi talked to Nan Xi about the current predicament.

Nan Xi was also shocked when she heard that Xiao Ruyan was not dead. After being shocked, she began to wonder if Xiao Ruyan had been possessed by something unclean. “Xiao Ruyan used to be a purdah woman, how could she come into contact with these strange drugs?”

"This is also a puzzling point for me. Do you know why this is happening?"

Nan Xi thought of a possibility, but she felt it was a little unbelievable. She had to wait until she saw Xiao Ruyan before she could be sure. But she had a clue about the other thing.

"I am not sure about Xiao Ruyan's changes for the time being, but I probably know what kind of medicine can make people stay awake and lose the feeling of pain."

"Oh? What kind of medicine is it?" Xia Houqi's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked.

"Anesthetics, as long as they are mixed in an appropriate proportion, can shield soldiers from pain and keep their brains awake, but the sequelae are very serious. Over time, these soldiers will be paralyzed and unable to walk again."

Nan Xi frowned and said seriously.

Xia Houqi was also very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect the side effects of this drug to be so severe. Wouldn't it be possible for thousands of soldiers to...

"Then can you prepare an antidote to the anesthetic you just mentioned?" Xia Houqi asked humbly.

"We have to find a soldier from Yelan Kingdom to experiment."

Nan Xi needs a sample to prepare an antidote to the anesthetic.

"It's simple. I just ask Cang Qingtian to send a soldier over for you to study." Xia Houqi felt that this was not a big problem, as long as Nan Xi could prepare the antidote.

"After your medicine is prepared, I will first ask Xiaotian to break through the tigers on the city wall, and then ask Cang Qingtian to put the antidote into the food of the soldiers of Yelan Kingdom. Finally, I will ask Cang Qingtian to cooperate internally and externally. Help us rescue the trapped people." Xia Houqi has already made the plan and is waiting for its implementation.

"Don't worry. For now, they won't do anything to the captured people. We still have time to think of countermeasures, or find an opportunity for me to meet Xiao Ruyan. I want to make sure of one thing."

Nan Xi looked at Xia Houqi and said seriously.

"Okay, I will try my best to meet your request."

Hearing this, Nan Xi smiled and said nothing more.

Xia Houqi asked someone to take Xiaotian down and feed him well so that he would have a chance to help.

When Nangong Fuyang learned that Nan Xi had also come to Xiangmeng City, he deliberately avoided her, lest seeing her would remind him of his princess who was far away in Shengjing City.

It has been twenty days since I left Shengjing. I wonder if Ziyue is okay in the house?

As for Magnet, Chen Ziyue, whom Nangong Fuyang had been worried about, was called into the palace by Concubine Lin. Concubine Lin wanted to take advantage of his son's absence to test the daughter-in-law's temperament, so as to prevent her from not knowing her status.

Chen Ziyue knelt in Bailing Palace, where Concubine Lin and the third princess were sitting, drinking tea and eating snacks.

Whenever Chen Ziyue feels even the slightest bit tired or slack, Grandma will remind her:

"Please also ask the eldest princess to straighten her back. If she sits down, she must kneel again. The time spent kneeling before will not be counted."

When Chen Ziyue heard this, he had no choice but to straighten his back to prevent Concubine Lin from finding trouble.

After finally kneeling for two hours, when Chen Ziyue stood up, his eyes went black and he fainted.

Concubine Lin frowned. She didn't expect that Chen Ziyue was in such poor health. Why did she faint after kneeling for two hours?

In order to avoid dealing with her son, Concubine Lin still called the imperial doctor to check Chen Ziyue's body.

Who knew that after the imperial doctor's examination, he said that Chen Ziyue showed signs of pregnancy! It will take another ten days to confirm.
