Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 140 Toxic
Wei Ying watched Mrs. Xiao drink the wine in the glass, then stood up anxiously, and said, "Mother, we really should go."

"No." Mrs. Xiao put down her sleeves, and gently put the wine glass on the table. A few drops of blood-red wine remained in the glass, just like coagulated fresh blood.

Perhaps it was because of the pain that Mrs. Xiao's brows furrowed unconsciously, but her gaze was still soft, and there was still a gentle smile on her lips.

She looked at Wei Ying with a smile, and said softly: "Ying'er, mother can't go with you, because mother will only become your burden..."

Saying this, Mrs. Xiao stretched out her arms, looked down at her body, and said softly with a self-deprecating voice: "Look, Ying'er, my body is so weak, I have very little strength, and I can't run fast, let alone use it. Qinggong flew over the wall. And I am not as good as Yinger. Although I have always had the desire to go out and take a good look at the world, I have never dared to put it into action. My whole life is just walking from the backyard of the Xiao family to this palace. It’s just in the cage. It’s like... moving from a simple birdcage to a gorgeous birdcage.”

Wei Ying looked at Mrs. Xiao suspiciously, her words made Wei Ying's bad premonition even more obvious.

"Hehe..." Mrs. Xiao shook her head and smiled lightly. She retracted her arms, clasped them, and put them on her lap in an orderly manner.

After a chuckle, Mrs. Xiao looked at Wei Ying with a smile as she was about to speak, but her brows were suddenly furrowed, and then a trace of blood flowed out of her slightly opened mouth silently.

"Mother!" Wei Ying was shocked, she took a step forward and leaned over to look at Mrs. Xiao's wine glass, only to see that the remaining liquid in the glass was dazzling red.

Wei Ying's eyes froze, her heart trembled fiercely, she quickly took Mrs. Xiao's wine glass in her hand and brought it closer to her eyes, wanting to take a closer look at the liquid in the glass, so as to make sure whether she was mistaken.

But her hands trembled too much, which made it impossible for her to see whether the wine in the glass was really bloody or not.

Mrs. Xiao sat upright on the chair, looked up at Wei Ying, smiled lightly and continued what she just said, saying: "So I don't know what the outside world looks like, I am in this birdcage What I enjoy in life is a life without worrying about food and clothing. If I fly out, I will not be able to live at all. But you are different, Yinger, you know the rules of survival outside, you are intelligent and far-reaching, as long as your mother does not follow you , drag you down, you will live a good life after you go out, this point, mother is not worried about you..."

Mrs. Xiao continued talking like this, her voice gradually lowered until it was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

At this time, Wei Ying finally saw the wine in the glass clearly, the pear blossom that should not have been stained red was drunk.

This kind of blood color can only be rendered by the highly poisonous pills that are strictly forbidden to be used in the palace, the kind of pills that are mixed with the highly poisonous Dandinghong.

"No, don't..." Wei Ying's body shook violently, and she suddenly threw the wine glass far away, as if the wine glass was a hot iron.

Wei Ying's small face was pale, her lips were bloodless, but her eye circles were red, and tears gathered in her wide-open eyes, rolling down.

Wei Ying took two steps forward trembling all over, and knelt down on the ground with a plop. She leaned on Madam Xiao's lap, looked up at Madam Xiao, and said in a choked voice, "Mother, you can't treat me like this, you can't... "

"Mother, you can't leave me, mother..."
