Chapter 471 Only by showing your true feelings can you deceive everyone
As soon as Xia Mo walked in with a silly pig face, he met the eyes of the two nervous elders. The three of them looked at each other from a distance, and there was an eerie silence.
Xia Mo smiled, waved his hand, and said "Hi" in what he thought was a friendly way.
However, the two elders could not see his face, so they thought it was a trick and became more vigilant.
Seeing the two elders' defensiveness, Xia Mo did not move forward. He stood still and took out a round, hollow white jade bell with a golden tassel and said, "Master Liu, Madam Liu, I was sent by Master Liu to protect you. This is a token of your loyalty."
The two elders took a closer look and saw that the unique design of the courtesy name and the intricate and exquisite carvings were indeed their son's white jade round bell.
Old Master Liu's eyes, like deep pools, examined Xia Mo for a few seconds before he remained silent. "Are you really sent by my son?"
Xia Mo replied, "Yes, Master Liu. Master Liu was concerned about your safety and feared that something might go wrong, so he ordered me to lurk around Lingguang Temple. Tonight, the thieves came out in droves and set fire to Lingguang Temple, scaring you two."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Liu was deeply moved. The fear in her eyes lessened a bit, and she asked worriedly, "How is my son now?"
Recently, more and more people have been breaking into Lingguang Temple, especially this time. Although Old Madam Liu did not witness the bloody scene with her own eyes, she was frightened by the noise outside the house. She thought that the situation must have changed, otherwise the thieves would not be so ferocious.
Xia Mo said in a steady tone: "Lord Liu is resourceful and highly regarded by His Majesty. Madam Liu can rest assured."
Madam Liu's brows relaxed, and her grip on Mr. Liu's clothes loosened a little as she murmured, "That's good, that's good."
Old Master Liu also let out a sigh of relief. Although he hadn't completely let down his guard against Xia Mo, he wasn't as wary of him as he had been at the beginning. "Are you here to take us away?"
"Yes." Xia Mo looked directly at him and said, "But Master Liu, don't worry. I have a foolproof plan that can take you two away from Lingguang Temple safely. I need your cooperation."
A few days ago, Brother Chuan came to him and told him that Jin Xuhua's trump card had been exposed by Prince Xian, and the final battle was imminent. The palace was no longer safe, and the old emperor's protective fan might become a death warrant, so he asked him if he wanted to move the two elders away in advance.
Xia Mo was conflicted, worried that taking the two elders away would cause trouble for Liu Qiuwu, but then he thought that the palace would be in chaos, and Liu Qiuwu attracted too much hatred, like a sitting duck. So after asking Xiaoshu if he could help, the two decided to find a suitable time to take the two elders away, and then fake a scene of being buried in a sea of fire, so that Liu Qiuwu could leave the palace.
Hearing Xia Mo's request, the two elders exchanged a silent glance. Elder Liu pondered for a moment and asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"
Xia Mo briefly explained the plan, then took out a small porcelain bottle and said, "This is a drug that's non-toxic and harmless. It will make you sleep for half an hour. You two just need to give me something to prove your identity and then take it."
The two elders hesitated, but they knew that the people in front of them had unfathomable skills. If they really wanted to force them to submit, it would be easy and there would be no need to waste words with them, but he did not.
He was an old man, and he couldn't fight them. Lingguang Temple was still in chaos. Old Master Liu looked at his wife and saw her nod. He agreed with all his heart: "Okay, let's eat."
Xia Mo smiled, walked over and handed him the medicine bottle, as well as the white jade hollow round bell, and gave it to Old Lady Liu, saying, "Time is running out, both of you should hurry up, otherwise it will be troublesome if someone comes to kill you."
"I know." Old Master Liu pulled out the cork and shook it, then put it to his nose and sniffed it. After confirming that it was a drug, he decided to take it himself first. As a result, Old Lady Liu reached out to him when he was pouring out the small pills.
He raised his eyes to look at her.
She smiled faintly, and a few chrysanthemum petals wrinkled at the corners of her eyes: "Together."
Xia Mo looked at them, blinked, and blinked again, and exclaimed in his heart, he didn't expect to be able to get into the elderly group.
The two elders did not ask how Xia Mo took them away. They swallowed the drugs very neatly. Then Mr. Liu took off his gold ring, and Mrs. Liu took off her gold chain and emerald earrings with gold edges, and put them all on the table.
True gold is not afraid of fire. Xia Mo lowered his eyes and took a look, thinking it was very good.
The two elders did not communicate with Xia Mo after taking down the things. They sat down calmly and waited for the medicine to take effect.
The drug soon took effect and the two elders fell into a coma. To be on the safe side, Xia Mo blindfolded them with black cloth and then transferred them into the space.
After finishing everything, Xia Mo began pouring lamp oil in the room and asked Xiaoshu to fetch two corpses that had committed many evil deeds in their lifetime and were similar in age and appearance to the two elders. He put ornaments on them and arranged them in appropriate positions. Then, he threw a tinder, and the flames instantly spread in all directions...
Thick smoke billowed up and the flames illuminated a small area of sky and earth, quickly attracting the attention of the guards and thieves. They all wanted to rush over, but were intercepted by the other side.
Xia Mo stayed in the space for a while, and when he felt it was about time, he left Lingguang Temple.
royal palace.
The old emperor was furious when he learned that the two elders of the Liu family died in the fire. He directly ordered the soldiers who failed to protect them to be imprisoned, and sent the Jinyiwei to escort the director of the Imperial Hospital to Lingguang Temple for an autopsy to find out the truth.
The truth is: the bone age matches, the relics match, they are correct.
The old emperor was almost mad with anger. With this little bit of "magic dew", he could clearly feel the changes in his body, from being rotten and riddled with holes inside to being strong and vigorous. Living for another few decades was not a dream, but the two elders of the Liu family died!
who is it!
Who doesn't want him to be well!
After becoming furious, the old emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, stroking the armrests with his fingers from time to time, with coldness in his eyes.
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan didn't know yet that their sudden move had accidentally tricked all the princes.
As for Liu Qiuwu, his parents died, and as a son, he finally had to leave the palace. He went to Lingguang Temple in a daze to bring his parents' remains back to the Liu Mansion.
The festive red silk and the Chinese character for "囍" (happiness or happiness) in the mansion were taken down and replaced with white silk. The mourning hall was filled with mournful cries and the howling of the cold wind.
In just two days, Liu Qiuwu became much thinner and looked extremely haggard.
Li Jingran stayed by his side, and was extremely distressed when he saw him crying silently. He cursed Ling Chuan a thousand times in his heart. He saved people, but he faked his death and told him such a big thing only after the fact!
Li Jingran was feeling anxious. He wanted to tell Qiu Wu but couldn't. There were countless eyes staring at them. Qiu Wu was not in a good state. In his nephew's words, -
Things have come to this, it’s better to tell my uncle later. Only by showing the true feelings can I deceive everyone. Who knows if the old emperor has really given up? It’s better for my uncle to leave the palace than to be trapped in the palace to avoid being affected.
Li Jingran was convinced.
"Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial child. Don't worry, I will help you get revenge!" Liu Qiuwu said hatefully, his cold eyes full of self-blame and regret.
Li Jingran: “…”
Li Jingran felt that he was finished.
He lowered his head and threw some paper money into the brazier. Using his best acting skills, he said with tears in his eyes, "And me, Dad, Mom, we will never let those who hurt you go. Just go on your way with peace of mind."
Wait until this matter is over and then come back to talk to me about it. I’m afraid Qiu Wu will be angry with me.
