Chapter 106: Murderous Eyes
"Master......" Xuanying and everyone came over.
Picking back the Night Fruit, Qi Qingxuan hugged her tightly in his arms again, for fear that she would freeze, and said in a low voice: "Let's go!" It's too cold here. ”
"Wait a minute." Nangong Keqing said this, approached the arrow frog, squatted down and took out the utensils.
"What are you doing?"
"Bring this mutated milky white liquid back for research and research, maybe it has special value, and if it is not good, you can try it as a poison."
"Girl, I'll come! Small heart up your hand. Chongyang hurriedly snatched the vessel and picked up the milky white thick liquid and put it into the vessel.
The group walked out of the cave with the holy water, but they didn't know that when they turned around, the holy water disappeared strangely.
Finally, after several days and nights of traveling, killing and wounding several people, they found the Jade Dragon Spring Water.
They could no longer go back the way they came, so they had to find another way forward.
I don't know how long I walked, the temperature became lower and lower, and the snowflakes fell like catkins fluttering lightly in the wind.
The snow was whining and howling, strong and cold, the sun was gone, and even the sky was much darker.
The snow wind became stronger and stronger, and the whistling sound seemed to tear through the frozen air.
The white expanse in front of him was like a white net, and he couldn't see anything from afar.
The wind and snow were too big, Nangong Keqing really couldn't walk, Qi Qingxuan squatted down and picked up the person on his back, Nangong Keqing shivered until it landed on his strong and broad back, and the temperature from his body was slightly better.
The temperature difference in the valley of death is really polarized!
"Girl, there's a cave in front of you, let's avoid it!" Chongyang was worried that Nangong Keqing would freeze and die, so he explored the way in front of him.
"Okay."
The cave was small, but big enough for a few people to take shelter from the wind.
Nangong Keqing wrapped Qi Qingxuan's cloak in the corner of the wall, trembling.
Chongyang turned around and saw the shrunken figure in the corner, a flash of melancholy flashed in his eyes, so he took off his cloak and draped it on her body, "Girl, put it on!" I'm going to make a fire and get warmer. ”
Qi Qingxuan sat on the edge of the stone on the other side, watching the man drape the cloak over the woman in a grand manner.
A certain man's eyebrows were completely furrowed together, and his expression was resolute, and he could see his obvious anger.
He stretched out his hand, his voice low and slightly angry, "Come here."
His eyes were full of anger, and he wanted to pull her home immediately, and then put her on the bed to teach her a hard lesson.
The woman looked over in surprise, what kind of murderous expression was that?
It's just that, in the next second, he couldn't help the bewitchment of his deep voice, and obediently walked over, stretching out his little hand that was red from cold.
Holding her tightly, he rolled the person back into his arms, and tightly encircled them in his arms like a beast protecting food.
The woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and obediently shrank in his strong chest.
Then, a steady stream of warmth came from his arms, and she was too greedy for his arms.
Finally, she was no longer so awkward, and found a comfortable place to nest in his arms, greedily absorbing his unique taste.
Pi Qingxuan admired her little awkwardness, shyness, and boldness like this, and her heart was infinitely soft.
And the stupid Chongyang can only be messy in the wind in a stupid and lost place.
Nangong Keqing looked at Chongyang and said, "Chongyang, you have a bag of compressed and dehydrated vegetables in that backpack, you take it out and make a soup for everyone to drink." ”
I made a fire, set up a shelf, put a pot on it, and boiled the soup...... After a while, the aroma of vegetables is overflowing, and everyone is eager to try it.
Everyone was particularly curious that this small bag of vegetables could make such a delicious soup, if Chongyang hadn't seen it a long time ago, I'm afraid that this one would be the same as them, like a dumpling.
That's how his girl hurt him at the beginning.
took the soup brought by Chongyang, held it in his hand, covered his hands, and looked satisfied, "It's really a happy thing to drink a bowl of hot soup in this weather." ”
"So easy to be satisfied?" Qi Qingxuan was amused by her satisfied appearance, and the corners of her lips were touched.
"Huh...... You drink and see, it's delicious. Nangong Keqing fed the bowl to his mouth.
Qi Qingxuan did not refuse, but enjoyed her service.
Others voluntarily blocked the interaction between the two people, "cough cough", some guards drew on the ground with a small stick, and some pretended to pull weeds.
Is there grass in this hole?
Finally, the group walked out of this valley of death that no one cared about after many dangers.
……
Back at the palace, Nangong Keqing soaked in the hot spring for a long time, and almost couldn't get up from sleeping in it, if it wasn't for Pi Qingxuan scaring her to bathe together, it is estimated that she would have been soaking.
"Miss has worked hard all the way, drink some ginger tea!" Zhiqiu thoughtfully handed over a cup of tea.
Yuhe combed Nangong Keqing's hair carefully, and said slowly: "Miss, it's really time for you to come back, the day after tomorrow, the four stores will open together, and you can catch up with the opening." ”
"yes!" Fortunately, I rushed back, and I almost confessed there.
"I've been sleeping in the open during this time, so I miss the sweet and sour short ribs, hot and sour lotus root slices, and drunken ......fish made by Yuling," Nangong Keqing said while swallowing her saliva.
"And Miss's favorite sauce elbow." Yu Ling walked in from outside with a smile, followed by a few little maids carrying beautiful and delicious food.
Nangong Keqing stood up, hugged her, and smiled heartily: "It's so heartfelt, don't you have to go to the store to be busy?" Isn't the new store about to open? ”
"It's not as important as Miss's business when you're busy, knowing Miss's hard work in the past two months, I'm hungry for this, and the slaves and maids are ready for you." Yu Ling smiled and was considerate.
"It's so sweet, who would marry you! What a happy death. Nangong Keqing took the opportunity to pinch her face.
Yu Ling was shy, and said coquettishly: "Miss loves to laugh." ”
Yuhe smiled slyly, blinked his phoenix eyes meaningfully, and teased: "That Xuanye is dead." ”
Nangong Keqing's face was stunned, and then laughed, this rain lotus is really a pistachio.
In the palace, Pi Qingxuan stayed by the emperor's side, under the treatment of the imperial doctor, the traditional Chinese medicine had a great reaction under the adjustment of the jade dragon holy water, the white foam boiled more than once, and the traditional Chinese medicine recovered as before after a few breaths.
The Emperor drank slowly, and after a while, he finally regained his senses.
He opened his eyes and spoke weakly: "Brother Huang, you are here...... How long did I sleep? ”
Since three months ago, the emperor suddenly fell into a coma in the main hall, the queen controlled the government, the second prince was in charge of the country, and the court was in turmoil.
Although Pi Qingxuan knew the darkness of the court and the ambitions of the queen's mother and son, he had no intention of interfering in the government and was bent on trying to save his only brother.
It is said that the royal family has no family affection, no brothers, friends and brothers, but for the two of them, it is completely untrue.
The emperor took good care of his only brother, seven brothers, he was the youngest, and the other brothers, some were executed by the emperor, some were imprisoned forever, some died in depression, and some died tragically in the struggle for power.
One of the reasons why Emperor Pi is so different from his younger brother is that the current throne was left to his younger brother by the emperor, and the edict was also prepared, but Pi Qingxuan had no intention of taking the throne, and he felt that those who could get it.
Therefore, he persuaded the first emperor to pass the throne to the third brother, who is now the emperor, so without his younger brother, he would not be able to sit on the throne at all.
"On and off for three months." Qi Qingxuan said slowly.
"Find out who is trying to harm me?" Emperor Pi asked bitterly.
Pi Qingxuan has been looking for holy water in Death Valley for a few days, where is there a chance to investigate thoroughly? Maybe this is the intention of the traitor, to divert the tiger from the mountain.
"Not yet." How could someone as wise as Pi Qingxuan not see their tricks and calculations.
In fact, since they released the news, Qi Qingxuan had already seen through their conspiracy, but he used more than half a month to confirm this legend, check ancient books, and ask capable people.
As a result, there are eight or nine layers of credibility, for the sake of the emperor's brother, even if it is only half of the credibility, he is willing to try, and if he doesn't enter the tiger's den, he will get the tiger?
Emperor Pi coughed tremblingly, looking sad, "Brother Huang, in fact, there is no need to investigate, I also know who wants to harm me......"
Qi Qingxuan looked at his imperial brother, and a touch of sympathy crossed his eyes, "Imperial brother, it's time for you to rest, don't be too sad." ”
Emperor Pi waved his hand, his expression dark, "I have been in bed for three months, and when I woke up, I couldn't sleep." ”
Then he paused and said, "Brother Huang, you've worked hard all the way...... When I woke up, I heard that you had gone to the Valley of Death in search of holy water...... I'm sorry for you, let the imperial brother go to such a dangerous place, I heard that there is a ...... to go to that place"
Pi Qingxuan interrupted the emperor, raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "Brother Huang, everything is worth it." ”
The emperor was moved to tears, it was a miracle to go to that place and come back, this is the price of life! And think of his sons...... Heartache.
The emperor's brother died for him, and he felt that he had to do something, and he couldn't indulge them anymore.
……
In the Queen's Palace, some people are already sitting still.
When the queen and the second prince knew that the emperor had woken up, the worry in their hearts was even worse, they couldn't imagine that such a dangerous place in Death Valley could be safely walked out.
For hundreds of years, there has been a legend that no one dares to set foot in the valley of death, and if you enter the valley, you will die.
He, the Seventh Emperor Uncle, was too powerful, so powerful that he was afraid and afraid, so he came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
"Son! Our plan has fallen short, so how can Zhou Xiang ...... the plan At the beginning, you spread the legend of the holy water of Death Valley, in order to grasp the war king's desire to save people's hearts, and use the feelings of the two brothers to let him set foot in Death Valley and never return, but ...... Still failed. ”
"Queen Mother, there is no problem with this plan, the problem is that the life of the war king is big."
Indeed, if it weren't for their fate, then Pi Jue's plan would be successful, there was no problem, and it was ruthless and poisonous enough.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and he still loses.
