“You know who?” Bai Zhi asked.
When Zhou Awu met her eyes, he looked bitter. He nodded softly: “Yes, the emperor also knows that they are ready to attack him.”
“He knows about it so why did he take risks going out of the palace?” Bai Zhi’s voice increased a few points.
Zhou Awu said nothing and lowered his eyes again.
Bai Zhi looked bitter and said, “Yes, he took such risks not for someone else, but for me.”
“Now what will happen in the capital? If those people know that he is now like this, will they—”
Zhou Awu cut off her words and said, “No, don’t worry. Everything has been arranged before the emperor comes out. They will never succeed.”
Zhou Awu wanted to say something, but he didn’t dare to say it. The emperor told him to keep it secret.
“If you have anything to say, just say it. Why are you so hesitant? What else can’t be said between us?” Bai Zhi frowned.
Zhou Awu thought about it and thought it was still necessary to tell Bai Zhi. After all, it was related to her.
“Zhi’er, for you, the emperor doesn’t care about the throne. Before he left the palace, he wrote a secret edict. If something happens to him outside the palace, he would pass the throne to the ninth prince.”
Bai Zhi was surprised: “The ninth prince?” She only remembered that there were eight princes. Where did the ninth prince come from?
Zhou Awu said, “Imperial Concubine Meng gave birth to a son 2 years ago. Now he has just turned two.”
Bai Zhi suddenly understood, “So, he wanted to return the throne to the Supreme Emperor? But because since ancient times, there was no such rule, so he passed the throne to the young son of the Supreme Emperor. To stabilize the country, the Supreme Emperor would naturally come back.”
Zhou Awu nodded: “Yes, that’s what the emperor thinks. But how things will eventually develop depends on their fate.”
“He knows that he will encounter danger when he comes out, but he still wants to come out. Does he want to die?” Bai Zhi doesn’t know what mood she is in now, was it anger? Was she complaining? Does she hate it?
It doesn’t seem to be the case. She can’t tell clearly. She doesn’t know what it was. Her heart was in pain. It was very painful.
There were still some things Zhou Awu doesn’t understand. For example, the emperor knows that someone was going to kill him. So why he didn’t take more bodyguards out of the palace?
Another example was, the emperor knows that those people were going to fight in this period. Why he didn’t deal with this matter first before meeting Bai Zhi?
Why he would tell him about the secret edict? This was not what a military general like him should know!
Why such a coincidence?
He couldn’t understand. It seemed that there was no connection, but it was not very simple.
But since he can’t understand things, it was not easy to guess casually and make Bai Zhi worry for no reason.
The person on the bed moved. Bai Zhi immediately noticed that she leaned over to check. As soon as she touched Chu Yan’s hand, she was caught by him in the palm of her hand.
He closed his eyes tightly and muttered to himself, “Don’t go, Zhi’er, please don’t go, don’t leave me.”
His words were not very clear, but Bai Zhi heard clearly. Her tears couldn’t stop falling.
And landed on his chin with a dark beard.
Her tears were too cold. Chu Yan, who was sleeping, woke up unexpectedly.
He opened his eyes, looked at a familiar figure, looked at a familiar face, but it was a little fuzzy.
He blinked hard to see more clearly.
But it was always vague.
When Bai Zhi saw him like this, she knew there was a problem with his eyesight. She hurriedly said: “You have been poisoned, and your eyes have been damaged, but it doesn’t matter. I will cure you.”
