Chapter 518: Poisoned

Yu Feng’s expression changed drastically. “Master, does the movement of the Emperor Star mean that there’s a calamity on the Emperor Star, or that there’s a change in the Emperor Star?”

He was extremely curious.

Sikong Yun said calmly, “The heavenly secrets can’t be revealed.”

Yu Feng muttered, “Haven’t you leaked enough? Who told the old Duke that his star had fallen?”

Sikong Yun held his forehead with a headache. “So your master’s retribution is here.”

“Dong, dong, dong, dong!”

In the southeast corner of the observatory, Xiaohu was holding a small gong. He shouted and hit it desperately. Dahu and Erhu worked with his rhythm and shook it desperately.

The stargazing platform became the event location of a large tomb. Sikong Yun’s head was buzzing.

He liked silence. The Imperial Astronomy Center had never been so noisy.

He walked over with a dark expression and looked majestically at Xiaohu, who was knocking on the gong. “Give me the gong.”

Xiaohu refused. “No.”

“This is my gong,” Sikong Yun said.

Xiaohu thought for a moment and asked, “Then if you call it, will it respond?”

Sikong Yun was dumbfounded.

Sikong Yun said, “If you call it, will it answer?”

Xiaohu said righteously, “I didn’t say it was mine!”

Sikong Yun was speechless.

Sikong Yun definitely could not let the children control him. He took out his adult aura and said arrogantly, “Do you know that this is my territory?”

Dahu said seriously, “The world belongs to the emperor!”

Sikong Yun said, “Kid, you know a lot.”

Dahu was the most motivated of the three little ones. Every day, he would attend class at Master Ling Yun’s place. Xiaohu basically lay on the floor and played. Erhu listened halfway and lay down. Only Dahu listened attentively the entire time.

Therefore, he really learned a lot.

However, this sentence was not taught in class. It was heard on the stage.

Sikong Yun looked at this smart alec in anger and amusement.

Suddenly, his gaze paused.

He looked at him without blinking. Something flashed in his eyes.

He asked, “Kid, what’s your name? How old are you?” “I’m not called a brat,” Dahu said.

“Dahu! Come over quickly! I want to catch you!”

Xiaohu discovered an oversized cricket and abandoned the gong.

“Coming! ”

Dahu ran over.

Only Erhu was left at the event location.

Erhu hesitated for a moment but did not follow. Instead, he grabbed the gong on the ground and asked Sikong Yun, “Do you want it?”

Sikong Yun: “Yes.”

At least this brat still had some conscience.

Erhu said with a look of loss, “I’ll sell it to you at a cheap price. I don’t want your money. You look quite familiar. Just treat it as forming a good relationship. I’ll use the mirror on you to exchange for it.”

The Eight Trigrams Mirror on his waist was the treasure of the Imperial Astronomy Center! Why did the kid look like he had suffered a loss?

This little brat was the most black-hearted!

Of course, Erhu could not take away the Imperial Astronomy Center’s Treasure. After all, this was the possession of the previous Grand Astronomers. Only the next Grand Astronomer was qualified to inherit it.

However, Sikong Yun asked Erhu to choose a very beautiful Eight Trigrams Stone.

There was no one else who could exchange his Eight Trigrams Stone for his gong.

In the house, Qin Canglan had just finished drinking his medicine.

Su Xiaoxiao stuck her head in. “Grandpa, has Wei Ting left?”

“Oh, I… went to take care of the children,” Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression.

Qin Canglan glanced at his precious granddaughter and asked suspiciously, “Were you afraid that he will discover that you drugged him for four days and four nights, so you deliberately hid from him?”

Su Xiaoxiao walked in seriously. Qin Canglan coughed lightly. ‘You, take it easy.”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Qin Canglan said, “You came at the right time. Steward Cen came just now and gave a few names for selection.”

Next month, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou would acknowledge their roots and ancestors. At that time, the two of them would officially enter the Qin family’s genealogy and could no longer use the names of Su Daya and Su Ergou.

As for Su Cheng, he was originally on the family tree. He had only let Qin Jiang occupy his identity for many years. Now, Qin Che’s identity had been returned to him.

“I’m fine with anything.”

It was just a name. She was not very conflicted.

Qin Canglan thought for a moment. “Why don’t I take these names to Sikong Yun to calculate later and choose one that suits you and Ergou the most?” “Okay.” Su Xiaoxiao had no objections.

At the mention of the Grand Astronomer, Su Xiaoxiao thought of something. “Grandpa, the Grand Astronomer said last time that he also wanted to change his fate, but he failed. Whose life did he want to change?”

“Ah, you’re talking about this,” Qin Canglan said regretfully. “The one in the palace. Don’t worry, he has nothing to do with the White Lotus Society.” Su Xiaoxiao continued, “The one in the palace? His Majesty?”

Qin Canglan said, “The Empress.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Qin Canglan had never even mentioned this to the Old Marquis. Su Xiaoxiao was the first.

“He was childhood sweethearts with the Empress. Unfortunately, the Empress was born with a precious destiny and was destined to be a mother to the world.

At that time, he was still young and had just entered the Imperial Astronomy. He was not the Grand Astronomer yet, so he wanted to escape with the empress. Later on, this matter was discovered by the Empress’s father. He privately sent many people to pursue the two of them and ordered to kill Sikong Yun. I happened to pass by and saved him.”

“I see.”

It was a big piece of gossip.

The Grand Astronomer and the Empress…

Su Xiaoxiao said suspiciously, “Wait, if the Grand Astronomer had a relationship with the Empress, what’s with Princess Jingning’s fate? Does she really carry the luck of the royal family, or did the Grand Astronomer deliberately say that?”

The Empress had no sons and never fought for favor with the concubines in the harem. The reason why she had always stood tall was not only because she had not made any big mistakes, but also because of the birth characters of her daughter, Princess Jingning.

Qin Canglan sighed. “I’m not sure about that. Not many people know about this. The Empress’s father didn’t dare to spread any information about the relationship between the two of them. Otherwise, I’m afraid someone else will have to take over this position.”

Emperor Jing Xuan was suspicious. If he knew about the past between the Empress and Sikong Yun, Sikong Yun’s good days would be over, and the

Empress and Princess Jingning’s situation in the palace might be in jeopardy. Suddenly, Yu Feng’s voice came from outside the door.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the door.

It was Taozhi.

Her eyes were red, and tears fell before she could speak. Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did something happen to Princess Jingning?”

Taozhi was Princess Jingning’s personal palace maid.

Taozhi choked and said, “It’s not Princess Jingning… It’s the Empress… The

Empress has been poisoned… Princess Jingning… asked me to invite Physician

Su… to enter the palace to treat the Empress…”

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

Su Xiaoxiao brought the first aid kit and Taozhi into the palace.

The Empress lay on the phoenix bed with a pale face.

Imperial Physician Zhu and Imperial Physician Wan had already induced nausea for the empress, but some of the poison had already invaded her internal organs, causing the Empress to be unconscious.

Princess Jingning stood guard at the side without saying a word. She did not cry or make a fuss, but her body was tightly tensed.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over. “I’m here.”

Princess Jingning turned around. The moment she saw Su Xiaoxiao, her eyes suddenly turned red..
