In fact, the question that everyone has been deliberately avoiding is - how did I get poisoned? When was poisoned? And who will be the one who poisoned him?

Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, I should first check the closest people around me, such as the attendants who serve the daily life, the guards who never leave an inch, etc.; The other is to check the diet of three meals a day, incense, and even things that have been in close contact with people, people or animals.

But Kwong Xiqing didn't do that, and I didn't mention it to anyone - but that doesn't mean I don't have doubts in my heart.

Yan Ke seemed to have some conjectures about my poisoning, but he was not sure; When Master Konghui took my pulse, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what it was, and the other doctors couldn't find out, so the matter was put on hold for the time being.

Now that he has taught this Feng Siqing to break it and has been diagnosed by the Poison Immortal disciple, Yan Ke is naturally anxious, and he approves of me seeking medical treatment more than anyone else.

As soon as I returned home and talked to her carefully, she first gritted her teeth and vowed to find out the culprit of the poisoning, and then she couldn't wait to ask me to go to Baiyun Valley for medical treatment.

Before leaving, I finally met Jiang Zhuo.

She didn't change much, except that her eyebrows softened slightly when she saw me, and taught me that she didn't hate seeing me; I thought I would have a lot to ask her - like, "Where have you been?" Have you ever thought about me?

However, when I really saw her, I couldn't say a word anymore, I just looked at her stupidly, and I couldn't see enough.

I think that as long as I can see her all the time, as long as I feel that she is by my side, then it is a blessing for me.

I didn't inform too many people about going to Narong Xi City to seek medical treatment, and I announced to the outside world that my old illness had recurred and I was recuperating in the mansion. Kuang Xiqing issued an order to dismiss my recent court meeting, and did not intend to let the ministers and the people know about the scandal of King Ling's poisoning.

In fact, in my mind, if they knew that the infamous King Ling had actually been poisoned, I was afraid that it would be too late to be happy, so how could they feel panic and turmoil?

Yan Ke had packed three carts of luggage for me, and arranged for nearly a hundred guards from the palace, if I hadn't tried my best to stop her, she would have even planned to transfer a cavalry squad to the Wolf Tooth Army stationed outside Guanlan City - I don't want to know how she can mobilize the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army, one of the four armies, I only know that if she really does what she wants, I am afraid that all of us will not be able to get out of Guanlan City.

To put it bluntly, I reduced the luggage to one car, and left only twenty C-class palace guards in my entourage, and the rest of the people, including my close attendant Xiao Cicada, were also sent back - in fact, the only person I wanted to stay behind was Jiang Zhuo.

Seeing that I insisted, Yan Ke finally compromised, but arranged for another group of secret guards to follow the team from a distance, and pulled Jiang Zhuoqian to give me instructions, and then reluctantly sent me out of the city.

Until the carriage left the city gate leisurely, I did not wait for Kwong Xiqing, nor did I see the bright yellow chariot representing the royal car.

Not to mention that he came to see me off in person, he didn't even send someone to pass on the word, as if he had forgotten that today was the day I left.

However, Lu Xiuzhu sent his attendants to give me some clothes made by himself, and specially sent the little prince Wang to me as a guide to guide the way, and taught me to be moved by a good life - in such a comparison, the imperial sister who was originally closer to me seemed cold.

It would be a lie to say that I was not lost, but in addition to the loss, there was a little more hesitation and a little annoyance—it was not that I couldn't feel her abnormality that day, but in my heart I forced myself not to doubt.

The seeds of doubt have been planted, and no matter how hard I try to ignore them, to cover them up, they always take root and sprout on their own, and one day they will break through the ground, entangle my heart, and consume all my feelings for her...... That's something I don't want to see.

However, once the estrangement has already arisen, how can it be so easy to fade?

Sitting in the carriage, there was no attendant to bring me tea and water, Zhang Luo dim sum book, when I was bored, I couldn't help but think of the good of the little cicada, and then I gave up this thought.

I deliberately removed him from the entourage list, not only because of the long distance and the inconvenience of carrying a weak man, but also because of ...... I became suspicious of him.

If anyone can poison me unknowingly, then the little cicada, who is my personal attendant, is undoubtedly the most suspicious; Coupled with the fact that he was always frightened, cautious and worried when he faced me, now that I think about it, it seems that he is afraid of being seen through.

For a while, I had no evidence, and I didn't have the time or energy to verify it, so it was best to keep him far away.

Moreover, if I am alone, I can be in a daze with that person...... Quietly lifting the corner of the curtain, I stared at Jiang Zhuoqing's handsome and elegant side face, and I was distracted.

――It's so pretty.

Maybe my gaze was too straightforward, Jiang Zhuo, who was riding on the horse leisurely and protecting the side of the carriage, turned his face slightly and looked at it calmly; I couldn't dodge it for a moment, and I just happened to meet her, and I felt very embarrassed—I didn't have to look in the mirror to guess that my face must be so red at the moment.

Biting his lip in embarrassment, he suddenly came to his senses.

I frowned, crammed my chest and gasped for a few moments, leaned my back heavily on the carriage, and lowered the curtain casually—rescuing the look of pain on my face, I pricked up my ears to listen carefully to the movement outside.

I heard the sound of horses' hooves "tap and tap", and then the wall of the carriage was gently knocked, and Jiang Zhuo's clear and beautiful voice sounded outside: "Your Highness, is there something wrong?" ”

I deliberately didn't make a sound, just gasped for a few times exaggeratedly, and coughed a few times in a low voice.

"Your Highness?" Jiang Zhuo was still patiently knocking on the wall of the car, but I could hear a hint of nervousness in her tense voice.

Just thinking about whether to disguise more naturally, Jiang Zhuo opened the curtain of the car, jumped into the car easily, helped me up with both hands, hugged me in his arms, and then dodged out of the door, and said to the accompanying guide Wang Xiaogongzi: "Your Highness is a little unwell, please take a look for her." ”

I felt that my entire upper body was being held in Jiang Zhuo's arms, my cheeks were against her collarbone, and my arms were soft next to each other, could it be ...... This realization seemed to throw a fire into my heart, and the raging heat burned all the way from that point to the limbs and bones, and I couldn't help but feel a stir.

- Oops.

I immediately realized that my reaction was too excited, I was afraid that I had fallen into a flaw, and the arms around me stiffened a little, and the next moment, the arms softened again, but the chill that suddenly rose on my back did not linger.

I just wanted to tease her and see if she would worry about me; But I didn't want her to find a doctor directly, but taught me to be self-defeating.

With my eyes closed and my head shut, I had no choice but to continue this lame scene, just hoping that I would not teach Jiang Zhuo to expose it - well, at least not to teach me not to come down from the stage in front of outsiders.

"Your Excellency, please hold up Your Highness's wrist and let the grass people diagnose her pulse." When I heard the sound of Suosuo's voice, I secretly opened my eyes and saw the little prince move from the carriage door on his knees, and put his finger carefully on my wrist.

I controlled myself not to breathe, but I seemed to be able to hear a "pounding" heartbeat, and there was a tendency to speed up and intensify—secretly smiling bitterly: I really am not suitable for deceiving people, but now I am reaping the consequences.

Fortunately, he pondered for a while, and then said softly: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, the poison on His Highness's body has not attacked, but he is a little tired due to the fatigue of the journey, so it is good to rest for a while." ”

"There is labor." Jiang Zhuo replied lightly, but the posture of holding me remained the same.

After a while, the little prince consciously retreated.

The carriage walked awkwardly, and from time to time there was the sound of horses' hooves and the shouting of the coachmen; The carriage was silent, as if it had been cut off into two worlds.

Finally, I couldn't stand the depression of the silence anymore and opened my eyes suddenly.

Those calm eyes were also looking at me steadily, and the joy and anger in their eyes were indistinguishable, but they clearly reflected my helplessness.

"Your Highness is awake?" She lowered her eyes, her half-squinted eyes revealing a bit of fierceness.

"Hmm......" I tugged at the corners of my clothes, a little afraid to look up at her.

"No, huh?" She asked again, but her nonchalant voice made me look up in fright.

"Ben, Ben doesn't know what you're talking about!" Denying it without thinking, but immediately resenting her own denial—she wouldn't think I was a little bit of a bad guy and hate me, would she?

"Since His Highness is fine, then his subordinates will retire first." She raised an eyebrow and gestured to let me go.

I was a little reluctant to give up her warm embrace, and action preceded consciousness, I had already hugged her, opened my face, and begged in a low voice: "Don't go." ”

She sighed, and instead of pushing me away as expected, she patted me on the back helplessly, and said softly: "If Your Highness is tired, lie down and rest for a while, okay?" ”

Seeing her so gentle, when my heart was sweet, I couldn't help but play tricks inch by inch: "This king is alone in the carriage, and he is scared tightly, unless he ...... Unless you stay with this king. ”

I had prepared for the worst, and even quietly reached out to protect my face so as not to bump into it when I was thrown away; She was silent for a moment, but gently rested my head on her legs, then folded her arms and closed her eyes, acquiescing to my request.

Biting my lip to suppress a smile, I turned my face and buried my face in her lower abdomen, and closed my eyes contentedly.

Just when I was immersed in Jiang Zhuo's inadvertent tenderness, I didn't know that danger was quietly approaching.

The carriage came to an abrupt halt, and the sword snapped out of its sheath.

Our convoy was surrounded by a group of masked men in black.
