Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Man in Black
"I didn't encounter anything strange!" Lu Qiao grabbed her hair and thought for a while, "We learned from Situ Gongzi that someone wanted to be bad for His Highness, and then we rushed here......"
"I know what's going on. Qin Yi said lightly, "Flower carving." ”
"What kind of flower carving?" Liu Xu asked strangely.
"Xiaoyi, what do you mean is that there is a problem with Situ Gongzi's Huadiao wine?" Lu Qiao asked in surprise, "There is no reason, Situ Gongzi has no reason to harm Miss, at that time, Situ Gongzi also helped Miss leave from Beixia!"
Perhaps he didn't even know that his vase of flowers was unskilled. Qin Yi said, "He has been following Qi Muxuan and knew that Qi Muxuan was preparing to ambush the prince of Northern Xia, so he notified Sister A and asked Sister A to remind Prince Beixia that at that time, they happened to drink a cup of Huadiao." It's just that maybe Qi Muxuan has already discovered Situ Juexing, and he will plan it, so that he deliberately discovered his plan, and then let him come to find Sister A, let Sister A hallucinate, let Sister A find the prince of Northern Xia, the prince has no feelings for Sister A, and he will definitely not guard against Sister A, at this time, if he succeeds, this is an internal matter of Northern Xia, and it will not affect Southern Chu!"
"You have a point. Liu Xu said, "If the other party is really going to assassinate me, how can such an important matter be easily known to others?
"The last time the girl stabbed His Highness, they calculated, this time the girl might be able to succeed!" Lu Qiao gritted her teeth in hatred, "This is too vicious, too despicable, too shameless! If I see Qi Muxuan again, I must die with him! What should the girl do now, if the illusion can't be lifted, will she have to fall asleep like this?"
"The bell must also be tied to the bell. Liu Xu held Mo Ziyu's hand and kissed her on the back of her hand, "If you can't find another way to wake her up, then the only way to do it is to find Qi Muxuan and let him unravel the illusion." ”
At this time, Liu Xu's eyes suddenly darkened, his limbs were weak, and he pressed his temples: "What's going on?"
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is poison. Lu Qiao said, "Your Highness, lie down quickly, I'll think of a way!"
Liu Xu lay down beside Mo Ziyu, his eyes were black, and his limbs had no strength at all.
"Xiaoyi, you look at them, I'll go to the room to see if I can find the antidote!" Lu Qiao said, hurriedly running to her and Mo Ziyu's room.
"What people!"
At this moment, suddenly, several dark shadows broke through the door, and the real assassin appeared.
Because they had already taken precautions in key places, as soon as these black-clothed people appeared, they were surrounded by the guards brought by Liu Xu.
The two sides began a fierce fight, a thunderbolt flashed outside, and the miserable white lightning pierced the sky, and the small inn was like a battlefield.
Lu Qiao's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly found a few bottles of medicine from the room, ready to take them to His Highness. Her small, thin figure shuttled through the shadow of the sword, and suddenly, a man in black jumped up to stop her, and the long sword in his hand slashed down.
"Ahh
"Let's go. A short and sharp voice came, and Lu Qiao opened her eyes, only to see Qing Yue blocking the black man's attack.
"Thank you!" said Lu Qiao briefly, then sprang forward, and then hurriedly hid in the house.
"Xiaoyi, there are a lot of people in black outside! they are fighting, it's so scary!" Lu Qiao's face turned pale with fright, and her lips trembled, "Don't go out, we have to protect Miss here." ”
"Hmm. Qin Yi nodded, "I'm here, don't be afraid!"
At this time, two black-clothed people broke in through the windows of this room, Qin Yi's eyes were cold, and he immediately protected the bed with a horizontal sword.
The two men in black saw Qin Yi's figure, Gu Shi was stunned, they glanced at each other, and then at Qin Yi, the two sides did not fight, and the man in black flew away.
A few short cries were heard, and the men in black retreated.
"What's the matter, why are they all gone, or are they some other conspiracy?" asked the guard, puzzled.
Qing Yue shook his head gently, and then hurriedly went upstairs and came to Liu Xu's room, he was startled when he saw the broken window, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
"Two men in black just broke in, but they were scared away by Xiaoyi. Lu Qiao said proudly, "Xiaoyi is really amazing!"
Qing Yue saw Liu Xu lying on the bed again, and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"It's poisoned. Lu Qiao said, "But don't worry, Your Highness is lucky, this time the girl's luggage has an antidote, Your Highness will recover later!
"The people in black are gone!" Qing Yue said, and glanced at Lu Qiao and Qin Yi fiercely, "If something happens to His Highness, none of you will want to leave!"
Qing Yue said, came to the door to guard, and ordered his subordinates to clean up the scene, treat the wounded, and check the identity of the body of the man in black left behind.
Qin Yi came to the window, looked at the broken window, and fell silent.
"Xiaoyi, what are you thinking?" asked Lu Qiao.
Qin Yi shook his head gently.
"The man in black seems to know you. "Do you feel this way?"
"I don't know. Qin Yi only felt a little headache.
"Those men in black have all retreated, does it have something to do with you?"
"I don't know, I can't think of anything!" Qin Yi pressed his temples uncomfortably, "I can't think of anything." ”
"Don't worry, when the girl wakes up, we'll discuss it with the girl. Lu Qiao patted Qin Yi's shoulder, "Maybe this really has something to do with your background?"
It wasn't until it was dark that Liu Xu woke up.
It was a sunny day outside, nothing like last night, and the crows that were hovering were gone.
"Liu'er!" Liu Xu called eagerly after waking up, and at this time, Mo Ziyu was by his side, still asleep.
He took the person in his arms, probed her breathing again, and saw that her breathing was smooth, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, is there anything uncomfortable about you?" asked Midori.
"It's fine. Liu Xu said, "Did something happen last night?"
"There are assassins in black. Lu Qiao said, "But they were blocked by Qing Yue, and they were not able to hurt His Highness and the girl!"
After Liu Xu ordered someone to give the innkeeper the compensation, he took Mo Ziyu and continued to Linyuan.
He made two preparations, on the one hand, he asked Qin Yi to go to find Rong Qian, let Rong Qian come back to treat Mo Ziyu, and on the other hand, after arriving in Linyuan, let Qi Zi put pressure on Qi Mu Xuan and let him hand over the antidote.
Liu Xu kept holding Mo Ziyu in his arms, looking at her face that seemed to be asleep, he couldn't help but sigh, maybe they could only get along quietly for a while in this way now?
He remembered the way Mo Ziyu looked at him last night, and the words in her mouth, he couldn't help but feel cold, do you hate me so much? Do you really want to kill me? Is it still possible between us?
Northern Xia, Xie Fu.
"Big brother, the crown prince went to Southern Chu, how could he go to Southern Chu when he is so good?" Xie Xuan asked puzzledly, "Now that the situation in Southern Chu is chaotic, and Northern Xia also has a lot of things to do, why did he suddenly go to Southern Chu to congratulate the king of Chu on his ascension to the throne?
"Your Highness is a man with a lot of ideas. Xie Di said lightly, "What he wants to do will not be explained to others, nor will he listen to others' persuasion." As for why he went to Nanchu, you can think about who there are in Nanchu?"
Xie Xuan thought for a moment, and then his face changed: "Jiang Liu? Could it be that His Highness wants to go to Nanchu for Jiang Liu? Is he crazy? He actually went to Nanchu for a woman to take an adventure, what if something happens?"
"Are you worried about an accident with Your Highness or are you worried that Your Highness will bring Jiang Liu back?" Xie Di asked with a smile.
"Naturally, I'm worried about His Highness's safety!" Xie Xuan said, "That Jiang Liu is just a maidservant, and there are all kinds of doubts, the Queen Mother can't tolerate her, what is there to worry about!"
"If it's just for the sake of His Highness's safety, I don't think it's necessary!" Xie Di smiled slightly, "If he can't even guarantee his safety, what's the point of him going to Nanchu? Besides, Nanchu is still relying on Northern Xia now, and he will definitely send troops to protect it, and he won't let His Highness have an accident." So, instead of worrying about the safety of His Royal Highness, it is better to worry about that woman! Although she was born as a servant girl, none of the things she did were not admirable, not to mention that she was the life-saving benefactor of the Queen Mother and the life-saving benefactor of the prince! More importantly, Her Highness has her in her heart, which is incomparable to your noble background today. ”
Xie Xuan bit her lip, frowned and asked, "Then what should I do now?"
"Don't worry, you still have me, there is the Xie family!" Xie Di smiled faintly, "No matter what that woman is, you will be the crown princess, the queen in the future! A man's love is the most unreliable thing, he will decrease with time, and it will dissipate with the aging of a woman's face, and your background will not be affected by any time, and when that time comes, she will be weak and lovely, but you are still the queen of infinite beauty, don't you win her? So, one word, consumption! Don't make any mistakes, don't grab any handles, just spend it! You can afford it, but others may not, and the person who can't wait only needs to strike first, and he will lose!"
Xie Xuan bit his lip: "I don't want to consume it, I want His Highness to be the only one by his side and in his eyes from beginning to end!"
