Chapter 217: Cooperate with it
There was nothing else in his tone. Some. Just deep helplessness.
Competitive people like themselves. Only to the emperor's brother. will make him helpless.
He let go of Dongfang Xu's hand." Brother Huang. I remembered asking a few fox friends to drink together. I won't dine with the royal brother today."
Look at the back of the distant one. Dongfang Xu slowly stood up. It's like a boulder is pressed in my heart.
The queen mother asked herself to guard against the royal brother from now on. But. Can you really do it yourself?
Dark. A pair of eyes stared at this qiē tightly.
Xiyue thought to herself. Since the Queen Mother lifted the custody of the Prince's Palace. I have become much freer in my actions. It's just that the prince doesn't know what he's busy with. I rarely meet him.
These two days. He's still staying in his study. And Xiyue, who was full of apprehension, had no intention of trying to please him.
Emperor Chen woke up. But Emperor Xiao still didn't give an order. After being warned by the messenger. Xiyue didn't dare to act on his own anymore. And the prince treats himself like air. Start with the big wedding. I never ate with her.
This scene of Fang Cai. Looks like it should be repaid to the messenger. Good in exchange for the latest antidote.
The woman's face changed. All fell in the eyes of Shen Qing behind him.
With his surveillance. Dongfang Xu in order to better collect intelligence. appropriately let go of Xiyue's surveillance. Make her think she's ignored her. In fact. It's to create opportunities for her. Waiting for her to contact Yi Guo. Then Shen Qing can get access to more information.
Then. Xiyue stopped. Shen Qing noticed that her gaze fell on the ground. Just a momentary pause.
"Let's go."
Don't wait for him to see clearly. Xiyue has already turned around. Shen Qing immediately restrained his expression to avoid Xiyue's suspicions. I have already written down the position of Fang Cai in my heart.
No one in the bamboo forest.
"Emissary."
Xiyue's tone was a little urgent. The black-robed man turned around. His gaze fell on Shen Qing's body. I couldn't help but feel cold in my eyes." The man. Can you trust it?"
"The messenger is reassured. He's been hit by my a**. Now it's just me alone. Emissary. Isn't there a new instruction from the emperor? I've run out of antidotes......"
The black-robed man smiled solemnly. He took out a small medicine bag from his sleeve and threw it on the ground. Xiyue immediately chased after him nervously. Carefully pick up the medicine bag on the ground.
Subsequently. She pulled away a grateful smile. Emissary. Just now I saw the second prince of the Chen Kingdom coming to find the crown prince. There seems to be something odd between them. All I heard them talking about Concubine Mei. What else was going on back then?"
"This time. The emperor just wants you to see this Concubine Mei."
Xiyue's expression froze. Don't know why. Listen to the tone of the messenger. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to take on this task.
"That'...... Where is this Concubine Mei?"
"In the cold palace. Let that East Palace guard take you. Don't be found by anyone. And then. Give her this letter."
The messenger pulled a letter out of his bosom. Xiyue took it carefully. A cold wind blows. There is still the figure of the black-robed man in front of him.
Cold Palace. Who is Concubine Mei?
Night.
"Why did Emperor Xiao want to see Concubine Mei?" Dongfang Xu listened to Shen Qing's words. I am becoming more and more vigilant." So what do you say?"
"The subordinate said that it would take time to arrange. What instructions does Your Highness have?"
Do you want Xiyue to go to see Concubine Mei? Dongfang Xu was a little hesitant. But he knew Emperor Xiao's methods. In case of a failure. There will be a second time. The third time.
Rather than letting things happen out of your control. It's better to let it happen right under your nose.
"Tomorrow. And you will take her there. I'll give you a chance."
"Yes. Subordinates understand. Your Highness. The subordinates have discovered the contact between the princess of Yi and the envoy."
"Oh. Very good."
……
Xiyue held the letter tightly in her arms. Shen Qing really arranged a qiē, and they went all the way unimpeded until they came to the bleak cold palace.
There is a quiet eerie smell of qiē here. Xiyue looked up. I don't know why. I always felt that there were dark clouds over this palace. made her feel frightened.
But. Emperor Xiao's order is irresistible. Xiyue took a deep breath. You're here to watch. Remember to let me know if there's any movement."
"Subordinates understand."
Shen Qing watched as the woman cautiously pushed open the palace door and entered. He restrained his expression.
Your Highness confessed. No one can be allowed to discover Xiyue's whereabouts. Otherwise, it may startle the snake.
Quiet and uninhabited corridor. Xiyue can hear her own footsteps.
She didn't dare to speak out rashly. And in his hand, he unconsciously held the dagger and poison powder that had been prepared a long time ago.
That Concubine Mei. I actually live in this kind of hellish place.
Suddenly. There seems to be a chill creeping up the spine. Xiyue couldn't help but stiffen up.
"Who's coming?"
A cold voice came from behind itself. Xiyue slowly turned her head. Imprinted into the eye. He is as tall as a man. Ugly old mamma.
"Ahh Xiyue screamed. Immediately covered his mouth. She tried to calm herself. But the trembling shoulders had betrayed her love at the moment.
What a terrible mama.
"I. I'm here to see Concubine Mei. There's something important to give her."
Mama pondered for a moment. In fact. She recognized it at a glance. This is the princess of Yi who married the prince not long ago. If not. How could she be allowed to step into this cold palace alive.
"Come with me."
Xiyue clutched her wildly beating chest. Quietly followed.
A room full of white satin. When Xiyue saw the face in front of her that was not as beautiful as a woman in the world. For a moment I forgot to breathe.
That's what it is...... Concubine Mei looked at her countenance. The age is not much different from himself.
"Oh. The princess of the Kingdom of Yi is here. Isn't there something to give to Hongu?"
However, this slightly low, hoarse voice. But it was to bring Xiyue back to her senses. She realized her gaffe. Immediately pulled out the hidden letter.
The ugly old woman reached out and took it. She clearly saw Xiyue's slightly trembling little hand. A disdainful smile rose at the corners of his mouth.
Concubine Mei opened the letter and looked at it. Subsequently. That deep gaze drifted to the west moon. This one look. It actually made Xiyue feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
"Emperor Xiao wants to cooperate with this palace."
This voice. It's dangerous. Xiyue couldn't help but take a few steps back. I. I do not know...... The emperor just ordered me to deliver the letter."
I don't know if the conditions mentioned in the letter made her unsatisfied. Concubine Mei gently threw the unfolded letter to the ground. I want to cooperate with Hongu. Let's see if you have what it takes."
The voice just fell. Xiyue only felt a roar in his ears.
Subsequently. The qiē in front of me turned into a bubble. There seemed to be countless rats and ants gnawing at her skin. Drill into every nerve of her. It seems that thousands of troops are coming. That excruciating pain. It was even more painful than when she was poisoned.
Concubine Mei raised her eyebrows slightly. Oh. It's not bad. Poisoned by this palace. I didn't faint immediately."
Poisoning. The last shred of Xiyue's sanity vanished after hearing these words. She curled up and fell to the ground, twitching incessantly. Facial spasms are already present
status.
I don't know how long it took. The woman on the ground woke up. She only felt like she was in a dream. Numbly straightened up. It seems that her hands and feet are no longer her own.
A pair of huge cloth shoes appeared in front of me. The old woman's hoarse voice came from overhead.
"The mother said. If you are alive in three days. She agreed to cooperate with Xiao Huang. Otherwise. Not even a single ant poison can be solved. Emperor Xiao is not qualified to negotiate terms with Niangniang."
Of course I've heard of ant venom. This is the unique poison technique of the Lianguo Wu family. The poisoned person will feel the same pain as the bite of all insects and ants. This poison will slowly erode the will of the poisoner. And compared to the poison in herself. This ant venom is three points more powerful. Because Fang was in a coma moments ago. Xiyue already has the idea that she doesn't want to live anymore.
I don't know how long I sat on the ground. The icy heat penetrated through the hard ground into her heart. Xiyue's eyes were red. She didn't even understand why she was suffering like this.
This moment. She felt that she might as well be dead. But...... She knew she was going to fail. The queen would never let her die so easily.
Trembling and standing up. Xiyue felt that the whole person was fluttering. She followed the path she had come. And this moment. She no longer felt how terrible this cold palace was. Because. I'm already in hell.
Shen Qing, who was guarding outside the palace, looked up at the sky. It's been in for so long and it hasn't come out. Will something happen. But His Highness confessed. No matter what happens. You can't even go in by yourself. Otherwise, you will have to worry about your life.
Of course, Shen Qing knew the story behind this cold palace. This can be said to be a forbidden place in the Imperial Palace of Chenguo. No one will want to know. What will happen if you trespass into the cold palace?
Then. A pair of pale hands came out of the door. Slowly push open the heavy wooden door.
Xiyue lowered her face. Shen Qing couldn't see her expression clearly.
"The Crown Princess."
The woman held out her hands to him. Seems to want him to give her a hand.
Shen Qing hesitated for a moment. He grabbed her wrist. The icy temperature was transmitted through her sleeve to the palm of her hand.
Yet the next second. Saizuki suddenly went limp. fell into Shen Qing's arms.
"."
He wanted to push it away. But I remembered His Highness's orders. He reached out and shook her body. And Xiyue didn't react at all. Just quietly drooping his head. Shen Qing's eyes flashed. Slowly lifted her face.
Those lips. It's frighteningly purple. And every vein in her face. It seems to be able to see clearly. The woman was completely unconscious. Passed out.
