When the seventh princess received Concubine Lan's summons, she was still hundreds of miles away from the capital.

Immediately ordered the army to immediately set up camp and rush to Kyoto. Along the way, Xia Youlan was anxious, and the scenes deduced by the master kept appearing in her mind. Did you come back late?

During the break, Xia Youlan wrote a letter with a pen, sealed it, and sent five female guards and two disciples of the Sword Sect to return to the Sword Sect to meet Ma Qingfeng. Let Ma Qingfeng rush to Kyoto immediately after seeing the letter.

On this day, Xia Youlan finally rushed back to Kyoto.

It is three or four times the size of Haoyue City, and there are tens of millions of permanent residents in it.

On the city gate, two gilded characters "Kyoto" are carved, which is the political, economic, military, and cultural center of the Great Xia Kingdom.

After entering the city, Xia Youlan ordered Zhao Desheng to hurry back to the Praetorian Guard camp, and if he found anything abnormal, he should report it in time.

After many days of fighting side by side with Princess Xia Youlan, Zhao Desheng has been completely loyal to the Seventh Princess.

Xia Youlan ordered the cavalry of the 10,000 Piaoxiang Legion and the disciples of the Crazy Sword Sect and the Sword Sect to go to the guard camp of the Seven Princesses' Mansion to station.

Xia Youlan didn't send the army to the barracks to station, she felt that something big was going to happen soon, and it would be better if the army was still stationed closer.

With the elders of the two sects and a hundred female guards, Xia Youlan hurried to the palace.

The palace is like a small city, divided into an inner city and an outer city.

The outer city was defended by 20,000 royal guards, and the main inside was the Jinluan Palace, which was the place where the emperor and his ministers discussed state affairs.

The Imperial Study is also in the outer city. This is the place where the emperor reads the folds.

There are also several side halls, imperial gardens, imperial hospitals and other buildings in the outer city.

In addition, the prince's palace is on the east side of the outer city, so it is also called the East Palace.

The inner city was defended by the emperor's 10,000 guards, and inside was the emperor's harem, where the concubines lived. There are independent palaces with various concubines, and the emperor's heart-raising palace.

Emperor Xia Mingyuan was in the Heart Cultivation Palace at this time.

Xia Youlan came to the Heart Cultivation Palace all the way unimpeded. Who in the palace doesn't know the famous and beautiful god of war, and who dares to stop it?

hurriedly came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and without waiting for the eunuch to go in to report, Xia Youlan stepped into the house.

"Father!" Looking at Xia Mingyuan's unconscious, increasingly thin face, Xia Youlan couldn't help but feel sad.

"Lan'er is back, let my mother take a good look. Concubine Lan got up from the head of the bed and pulled Xia Youlan into her arms.

"What's wrong with my mother's father, why did you suddenly fall unconscious?" Xia Youlan asked anxiously.

Concubine Lan caressed Xia Youlan's hair lovingly, and after a long time, she said, "Your father was plotted by someone, and my mother didn't find out what was going on." However, the mother suspected that it was the hands of the people in the palace. ”

Apricot eyes were full of anger, and willow eyebrows stood up, "I want to see who is so bold and wants to rebel?" Xia Youlan is not a good stubble, and she doesn't know how much enemy blood she has in her hands.

"Mother, I brought back a master, maybe she has a way to save her father. ”

"Then hurry up and let that master check on your father!"

Xia Youlan ordered someone to bring Dugu Ying in.

After some careful inspection, Dugu Ying's brows were twisted into a Sichuan character, "The emperor has been poisoned for a long time." ”

Rumble!

It was as if a large rock had been thrown into the calm surface of the lake, and a huge wave had been splashed.

"Someone!" Concubine Lan suddenly stood up from her chair and shouted.

A eunuch walked in from outside, knelt down and kowtowed, "What do you command?"

"Go and bring the queen here, and summon the guards to lead the black iron!"

"Obey!" the eunuch got up and hurried to do his errands.

It didn't take long to see the queen and the prince coming in a hurry.

"Sister, is the emperor awake after calling the mourning family so urgently?" asked the queen after she came in.

"I've seen the Queen Mother. Xia Youlan and Duguying hurriedly said a blessing.

Only then did the queen see Xia Youlan, her face was happy, "It's Xiao Qi who is back! ”

"Xiao Qi has seen the prince's brother. ”

"Seventh sister doesn't have to be polite. It's good for you to come back, quickly help my brother deal with the government affairs, my busy head has grown these days, and my body is not as good as before. The prince was overjoyed, and he knew the abilities of the Seventh Princess.

"Okay, I'll talk about the rest later, there is an important matter now, and Sister Queen should know. I'll have to discuss it with the queen's sister later. Please tell me about my husband's situation in detail. "Concubine Lan's heart is like a rough sea, and she can't be calm.

Dugu Ying said slowly: "The emperor was given a chronic poison, which caused him to be unconscious now. ”

When the queen heard this, she was taken aback, "Poisoning? or chronic poison, this must have been done by the people around her." Is the emperor in danger? When will he wake up?"

Dugu Ying thought for a while and said: "The emperor has been poisoned for about three months, this is a rare chronic poison, it can't kill people all at once, but slowly torture people to death." ”

"Duguying, since you know, you will definitely be able to save my father, right?" Xia Youlan asked impatiently.

"It can be saved, but some medicines are very precious and difficult to find. Duguying was also a little embarrassed, and there were several antidotes that were particularly difficult to find.

Xia Youlan's eyes lit up, "Medicine is not a problem, I'll take you to the imperial hospital's medicinal material warehouse to find it, if you can't find it, you give me a pattern, and I'll send someone to find it." ”

Dugu Ying nodded, "It's better to dispense medicine as soon as possible, the emperor's current situation can only last for a month." ”

The two of them immediately went to the medicinal herb warehouse of the imperial hospital.

Concubine Lan snorted: "Pass the guards to lead the black iron." ”

Someone outside the door said yes and went to deliver the message.

After a while, Wu Tie, who had been waiting outside, strode in.

Wu Tie is burly and has a dark complexion. With a big sword on his back, he knelt down and kowtowed when he came in, "Wu Tie meets the two Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Bang"!

Concubine Lan went up with a kick and lifted the black iron to roll all over the ground, this Concubine Lan's cultivation is not low!

"You useless thing, I took you with me from thousands of miles away from home, just to let you protect your uncle, and now your uncle has been poisoned, you don't know yet. Concubine Lan reprimanded sternly.

Wu Tie got up with his face full of face, and knelt down on the ground again, "The clan sister is angry, it is my dereliction of duty, I will definitely find out the murderer of my uncle and give the clan sister an explanation." ”

Wu Tie was frightened enough when he saw Concubine Lan's anger, he knew Concubine Lan's methods. In a hurry, he said all the names in the clan.

When Concubine Lan heard this, her anger was slowly suppressed, she didn't have a few family members in the palace, this Wu Tie was a brother in her clan who had followed her since she was a child, and because of her advanced cultivation, she was taken by her side.

"Get up, you have to check secretly, and don't let anyone know. At the same time, you have to give me 10,000 guards firmly in your hands. If there is anyone who is disobedient and unfaithful to his uncle, he will be killed. I want to see who wants to get my husband's fortune. A sinister aura emanated from Concubine Lan's body.

The queen and the crown prince both fought a cold war, and only today did they know that it was so scary for Concubine Lan to be angry.

Wu Tie confessed, quickly turned around and walked out. Although he is a burly man and his head is not simple, he also smells danger. Clenched his fists tightly, he must find out the murderer of his uncle.

Soon after Wu Tie left, a pair of well-equipped guards drove to the Heart Cultivation Palace. These thousand guards are all carefully selected masters from the Wu clan. Every year, Concubine Lan will select masters from the Wu clan to enter the palace, and at the same time send the original guards of the Wu clan who want to go home back to the clan. This team of guards has always maintained a strength of 1,000 people.

Xia Youlan and Dugu Ying came back from the medicinal herb storehouse, and judging from the expressions of the two, things were not going well.

"Have you found all the herbs?" asked the queen.

Dugu Ying shook his head, "There is still the most important bear bile flower, which is an indispensable medicine in the antidote." ”

Concubine Lan opened her mouth and asked, "Where does this bear bile flower grow, I will send someone to find it." ”

Pick up the pen from the table, dip it in ink, and Dugu Ying began to paint.

After a short time, a beautiful and bewitching flower jumped on the paper, "This is the bear bile flower, it grows in places where bears are infested." However, it is not that there are bears and bear bile flowers. It must be a bear that is more than 100 years old before bear bile flowers can appear. ”

Hiss!

The people in the house took a breath, a bear that is more than a hundred years old, isn't that a bear spirit?

Looking at everyone's expressions, Duguying said, "I can use my antidote pill to buy a month for the emperor." That is, two months, if the antidote cannot be prepared, then the emperor ......"

"I immediately sent my henchmen outside to look for it. Please Sister Dugu take care of my father here!" Xia Youlan hurriedly arranged for someone to find the bear bile flower.
