Chapter 508: Think it over first
Bei Yunting's rage came quickly and dissipated even faster. He sighed and his expression softened. "Royal brother, help my sister-in-law up. I was panicked when I saw the national god suddenly vomiting blood. I lost my mind for a moment. Thanks to you for reminding me, I was able to calm down."
Bei Zhanye immediately helped Shangguan Fu up and said, "Your Majesty, since the God of the State knew in advance that she was cursed, it is clear that the God of the State has been investigating this matter for a long time. I believe that the God of the State must know more about the inside story. Why don't we wait until the God of the State wakes up before deciding how to deal with this matter."
"What the Emperor said makes sense. But...when will the national god wake up in this state?"
As soon as Bei Yunting said this, everyone present fell into deep silence without exception, and for a moment no one could answer his question.
The curse can only be broken by a master of mysticism, but Yi Qianhuan is the strongest master of mysticism in their Yunzhao Kingdom. Even she was knocked down by this curse. Who else can help her break this curse?
Bei Zhanye couldn't give a suitable time, so he looked at Ji Chilian.
In the entire palace, everyone was waiting for Ji Chilian's answer.
"Three days." Ji Chilian's eyes were cold, and he said word by word: "Within three days, the national god will appear in front of the emperor safely."
"Ji Chilian, think carefully before you speak!" Shen Yaosi was worried about Ji Chilian.
They had tried everything before but failed to lift the curse. From now on, let alone three days, even if they were given thirty days, they might not be able to lift the curse!
"Okay! Since Chi Lian is so confident, I will give you five days! After five days, I want to hear the cause and effect of this matter from the national god himself." Bei Yunting stood up from his seat with great satisfaction, "As for the Thirteenth Princess... She was indeed frightened today, so please go back to the post station first, and wait until the national god wakes up before personally taking her to the palace for an audience."
Xi Jiangyue breathed a sigh of relief.
What the emperor said was actually a disguised way of putting her under house arrest.
If Yi Qianhuan is safe and sound in the future, she will be fine too. On the contrary, if Yi Qianhuan has any problems, she will be dead.
Even though she couldn't control the future in her own hands, Xi Jiangyue still felt extremely fortunate at this moment.
Fortunately, she had a chance to catch her breath. In this way, even if something really happened to Yi Qianhuan, she could take everything on herself and would not be framed and thus drag down her motherland.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xi Jiangyue bowed to express her gratitude, and when she stood up and was about to leave, her arm was grabbed.
Xi Jiangyue's heart trembled, and she turned to look at Bei Yingchen behind her.
Bei Yingchen's eyes were filled with an unrelieved anxiety. "I will find a way to rescue you. Don't be afraid. Just wait for me to rescue you!"
Xi Jiangyue's eyes were shaken, and tears of emotion welled up in her eyes.
However, Xi Jiangyue did not accept Bei Yingchen's kindness. Instead, in front of the audience in the hall, she slowly pushed Bei Yingchen's hand away: "Thank you for your concern, little prince, but we are not so close. Please respect yourself, little prince."
Watching Xi Jiangyue push his hand away and leave, Bei Yingchen stared at her back in a daze, unable to utter a word for a moment.
"The Thirteenth Princess is afraid of dragging you down." Shangguan Fu is a woman, she understands women best, and naturally can see that Xi Jiangyue is helpless, "Chen'er, you are a smart person, you will not blame the princess for what she said in a hurry."
Bei Yingchen kept looking at Xi Jiangyue's back until she was completely far away: "I don't blame her, I can only blame myself. If Ji Chilian said this today, Yi Qianhuan would definitely believe him. It's because I'm not strong enough that the princess doubted whether I could do it."
Shangguan Fu never expected that Bei Yingchen could actually say such a thing.
Seeing that Bei Yingchen did not retract his gaze even after he could no longer see Xi Jiangyue, she hesitated for a moment and found Bei Zhanye: "My lord, it seems that we really tried our best to rescue the Thirteenth Princess. Otherwise, I am worried that our son will follow her and commit suicide for love."
After saying this, Bei Yunting lost interest in continuing the palace banquet and left directly back to the Yangxin Palace.
Here, Bei Zhanye brought his wife and children, together with the three brothers of the Shen family, and followed Ji Chilian back to the National God Palace.
After everyone in the National God's Palace learned the news in advance, they all waited at the gate for Yi Qianhuan to come back.
"Mother!" Yi Mobao and Shen Yubao were undoubtedly the ones who were most worried about Yi Qianhuan. The two of them gathered around Yi Qianhuan, who was lying unconscious on a stretcher.
"Blood... Mobao, look, there is a lot of blood on mother's clothes. Daddy, did mother vomit blood? Is her condition bad?" Shen Yubao was panicked and his fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Don't worry. Your mother's condition is relatively stable now. Send her home first and let her lie down before you talk." Shangguan Fu said quickly.
Shen Yubao nodded quickly, while Yi Mobao followed Yi Qianhuan in silence.
After settling Yi Qianhuan down, Yi Mobao and Shen Yubao stayed by Yi Qianhuan's side.
Yi Mobao grabbed Yi Qianhuan's hand tightly, and his voice was a little cold: "Ji Chilian, you'd better explain clearly what happened to my mother."
"The curse buried in her body was activated by someone. I used my own flesh and blood to finally save her life." Ji Chilian told the truth.
"So, my mother almost died today?" Yi Mobao turned to look at Ji Chilian in disbelief, with shock in his voice: "Ji Chilian, how did you take care of my mother? My mother just followed you to attend the palace banquet, but she almost died? If you hadn't provoked Bei Lianhe, my mother wouldn't have been cursed!"
"Mobao, calm down first." Shen Yaosi tried to calm Yi Mobao down.
Yi Mobao shook off Shen Yaosi's arm and wiped his red eyes vigorously with his sleeve: "If any of you speak for Ji Chilian, please follow Ji Chilian and leave the Guoshen Mansion. We don't welcome guests like you in the Guoshen Mansion."
"Okay, I'll go." Ji Chilian stood up at this time.
"Daddy..." Shen Yubao subconsciously wanted to speak for Ji Chilian.
But Ji Chilian shook his head at Shen Yubao, signaling Shen Yubao to stay calm.
Shen Yubao observed Yi Mobao's ugly expression and had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Ji Chi Lian, do you think the current situation is not complicated enough? Could you please not add to the fuss?" Shen Yaosi didn't understand why Ji Chi Lian started making a fuss, and immediately came over to stop Ji Chi Lian.
Ji Chilian did not explain immediately, but took Shen Yaosi out of the room and said, "Do me a favor."
