Anger hurts the body.

Cui Shuyan was really afraid that Emperor Zhaowu would die of anger, so she pinched his philtrum and called out, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Zhaowu slowly widened his eyes: "Why are you here? Where is the imperial concubine..."

Is this not clear again?

Cui Shuyan didn't have time to think about it. She pinched Emperor Zhaowu's mouth and stuffed the only yellow pill in her hand into it.

He refused to swallow it, so Cui Shuyan pressed an acupuncture point on his neck. Immediately, Emperor Zhaowu's neck stretched forward like a goose, and he swallowed the pill.

Soon, Emperor Zhaowu woke up.

Cui Shuyan was amazed by the effect.

Emperor Zhaowu touched the corner of his mouth and said to himself, "Why do I feel a little pain in my mouth?"

Cui Shuyan remained calm and said, "I don't know."

After saying this, Cui Shuyan sat a little further away from Emperor Zhaowu.

Shi Liu whispered to Cui Shuyan: "Princess, you are so brave, aren't you afraid of His Majesty's blame?"

"No. He doesn't remember anything that happened when he was confused."

However, she would never admit that she could have been less forceful when she pinched Emperor Zhaowu's mouth just now.

The reason why she tried so hard was purely because of personal grudges.

In short, Emperor Zhaowu suspected Xie Xingyuan, which made her very unhappy.

However, judging from what had just happened, Cui Shuyan roughly figured out that Emperor Zhaowu's condition was not very stable at this time.

But she only made two pills in total, and now all of them have entered Emperor Zhaowu's stomach.

If Emperor Zhaowu makes another mistake, there will be no third pill.

So the most urgent thing is to get out of here as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Cui Shuyan approached Emperor Zhaowu again and asked, "Your Majesty, is there any other exit from this secret room?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"Your Majesty, you must have been angry after listening to what I said just now, and you are now listening to the words of Consort Xian as before. So, I am a little worried."

Emperor Zhaowu asked in return: "Don't you have medicine?"

"Time is urgent, so I refined two pills and gave them all to you to take."

In an instant, Emperor Zhaowu fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he picked up the sword beside him, cut off the corner of his robe with a "swish", and then cut his finger with the tip of the sword. Immediately, blood gushed out.

Cui Shuyan asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

At this time, Emperor Zhaowu had already put down his sword and spread the corner of his robe on the ground: "In order to prevent me from making mistakes again, I will write a secret order for you. Turn your back and don't read it."

Cui Shuyan turned her back obediently.

From this point of view, Emperor Zhaowu's consideration was still very comprehensive.

He was worried that he would make the wrong decision when he was confused, so he left this secret order in advance.

In this way, even if he accidentally made a mistake, with this secret order, Da Qi would not be in big trouble.

"Okay, turn around."

At this moment, Cui Shuyan was full of admiration for Emperor Zhaowu, but the moment she turned around, this admiration disappeared without a trace.

Yes, that’s right, he is still the suspicious emperor, without any change.

It was true that the secret decree was written, but Emperor Zhaowu not only folded the corner of his robe several times, but also drew a line on the outermost layer with blood. Even some hair could be seen on it.

Moreover, the hair strands were threaded into the gaps between the silk threads, and it seemed as if a deliberate pattern had been created.

There is no doubt that the secret message must be clearly stated. If the hair strands on the outside are broken or the pattern is damaged, the secret message will no longer be credible.

"Please thank Princess for keeping it well and take it out when needed."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Shuyan said obediently.

Emperor Zhaowu was very satisfied with Cui Shuyan's obedience.

But over time, his emotions became somewhat unstable.

Cui Shuyan immediately reminded him, "Your Majesty, being easily angered is harmful to your health and it is easy to get confused again. You must learn to calm down. Even if something big happens outside, you can't interfere. It is better to stay calm first. Only by staying sober can you take charge of the situation after you go out."

"I still don't know what's going on outside. Tell me, how can I stay calm?"

"Think about it, there are only two possibilities. One is that Concubine Xian did not succeed, and the other is that she succeeded."

Emperor Zhaowu nodded in agreement: "Then tell me, in these two situations, how can I remain calm?"

"If Concubine Xian fails, the people outside will naturally find a way to rescue us. Although the wait will be longer, there will be a good result in the end. This is the same as the saying that good food is worth waiting for."

"What if Consort Xian succeeds?"

"If she succeeds, we won't have to worry about anything. It's death anyway. After death, everything will be peaceful and there will be no need to worry about anything."

Emperor Zhaowu said unhappily, "You are quite open-minded. You are Princess Xie. You can walk around the capital with your head held high, but at least you are someone no one dares to mess with. Are you willing to give up this life of wealth and honor? Not to mention, you have a child."

"Although I don't want to, death is like the extinguishing of a light. Many things are beyond my control."

"Forget it." Emperor Zhaowu laughed at himself, "I can't be less insightful than a little girl like you. Forget it, I won't think about it. I'll go to sleep first."

After saying this, Emperor Zhaowu really lay down on the ground and closed his eyes.

As for whether he was asleep or not, Cui Shuyan didn’t know.

She put her ear to the door of the secret room and listened to the noise outside.

When they first came in, the fighting outside was very intense, but it gradually quieted down.

Until now, it was completely silent, without any sound at all.

"Shi Liu, how are Ze Er and Xi Er doing now?"

"With Mr. Wen here, it should be fine. Even if he risks his life, he will protect the young master and the young princess."

Cui Shuyan nodded in agreement, but she was a little worried: "In terms of wisdom, Mr. Wen is indeed first-rate. But if it comes to fighting with force..."

Cui Shuyan didn’t dare to say the following words, let alone think about them.

Shi Liu's eyes widened instantly: "Princess, you don't know, do you?"

"Do not know what is this?"

"Mr. Wen's kung fu is the best. We were all taught by him."

"Ah? No way?" Cui Shuyan was stunned.

"Really. But he doesn't like people to know that he knows martial arts, and he usually dresses like a weak scholar, so generally no one thinks about it, and they don't know that he is actually a top master."

"Oh my god, Mr. Wen is really a man of few talents. I feel relieved now."

Mr. Wen is a man of both strategy and martial arts, and is able to protect two children.

In this way, Cui Shuyan felt much relieved.

As soon as a person relaxes, he will feel sleepy.

Just as she was leaning against the wall and dozing off, she suddenly heard Xie Xingyuan calling her: "Shuyan..."
