He gritted his teeth and charged straight to the palace. On the galloping steed, he tore off the black clothes on his body, threw it into the air, then unsheathed his sword, and with a swipe, the clothes fell to the ground, revealing his purple robe.
”How is it?” Xiao Zhen softly asked as they arrived at the True Sun Sect.
”He fell off the cliff.” Xiao He jumped down from the horse and replied.
”Did you get shot?” Xiao Zhenhai asked.
”The Ninth Prince is carrying an arrow.”
”That's great, that arrow was poisoned. The poison was the Fourth Prince's idea. Now that they've fallen off the cliff, they won't be able to find a doctor to treat them. It's a narrow escape.” Xiao Zhenhai clapped and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
Xiao He was stunned. ”Poison?” Father, the Lightning Corps never used such a despicable method. This is my rule! ”
”He'er, extraordinary times, extraordinary methods! I know that you have your principles and rules for your Lightning Corps, but Lian Ruyue is extremely cunning, and her conspiracy with Ninth Prince is unstoppable.
”You saw the empress dowager's birthday banquet last time. They turned the white one into the black one and the black one into the white one. Someone who's so ruthless must use even more ruthless methods to fight back. This is something your father taught you since you were young.” Xiao Zhenhai said.
”That's right, second brother. Father's words are reasonable. Don't take it to heart.” Xiao Hu advised from the side.
”Yes, Father.” Xiao He slowly lowered his fist.
”Let's go, we've entered the palace. If we enter now, we'll be able to clear you of any suspicions. I have to say, His Highness' plans were very meticulous and perfect. He made your mother beg the empress dowager to release your big brother today.” Xiao Zhenhai patted Xiao He's shoulder before striding forward.
Arriving at the Hall of Rongyuan, Xiao Zhenhai led Xiao Hu and Xiao He to kneel outside. An hour later, Xiao Shan was finally brought out of the Sky Prison.
Xiao Zhenhai saw that his eldest son had lost all of his previous pride in a short month. His eyes were filled with fear and caution.
What an outstanding son, what a proud and proud person he was to have been tortured to such a state, and yet to have to be taken out as a cripple.
He swallowed and the four of them went up to the emperor to apologize. They thanked him and the emperor said some words to thank them again before telling them to leave.
Xiao Shan trembled all the way. His entire body was trembling and he did not dare to say a single word. It seemed that he was quite frightened.
After exiting the Hall of Rongyuan and rushing towards the True Sun Sect, Xiao He's eyes inadvertently glanced over and saw a figure wearing a shirt hastily running past from the other side. His expression was anxious.
His heart trembled slightly as he continued to walk forward. The four of them arrived at the True Sun Sect.
Xiao He turned around and looked around. Finally, he stopped and said, ”Father, Big Brother, Third Brother, I still have matters to attend to. You two return to the estate first.” As he spoke, he turned and left.
”He'er, don't do anything foolish. Your big brother only released you.” Xiao Zhen Hai shouted as he watched his son walk away.
”Yes, Father.” Xiao He's figure quickly disappeared from their line of sight. Xiao Zhenhai frowned as he looked at the back of his son.
”Father, where is second brother going?” Xiao Hu said.
”This kid has so much love, I wonder who he looks like?” Xiao Zhenhai sighed.
At the hospital.
A figure dressed in cloth hastily ran over, shouting anxiously, ”Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, my mother is sick, hurry and come with me to Changchun Palace to take a look.”
