2. Poisoning

The news that her husband almost came to Drunken Moon Pavilion was known to Si Xiang, and she inevitably came to pester Xiangbao again and asked her if she had made the king angry again. Xiangbao could only smile bitterly, this time, she probably really made him angry.

When the weather was at its coldest, Xiangbao spent most of the time curled up on the couch, wrapped in a thick quilt, and didn't want to move.

It's starting to snow, and the first snow of the winter is blowing up, and there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock at the door. Probably because he slept a lot during the day and was afraid of nightmares, so at night, Xiangbao slept very lightly. So the noise at the door easily woke her up. But because of the cold, Xiangbao shrank into the quilt and didn't want to get up.

"Madam, Madam, the king, he ......" Ziruo hurriedly ran in.

Xiangbao snorted and didn't move.

"Madame, get up and see, the king is at the door." Ziruo's face was anxious.

"What is he doing here?" Xiangbao muttered, not at all intent on getting up. Her guts grew fatter and fatter unconsciously with the connivance of her husband, and now she didn't know that she was afraid at all.

"I don't know...... The king refused to come in. ”

"If he refuses to come in, he will go to whichever lady he likes." Xiangbao rolled her eyes, could it be that she begged him to come in?

"But the king looks ...... It's weird! Azusa stomped her feet.

"Of course it's ......strange that you don't sleep in the middle of the night" Under Ziruo's harassment, Xiangbao got up with a mutter, wrapped in a thick robe, and walked out of the room trembling.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Xiangbao shivered from the cold, and when he looked closely, the door was wide open, and the cold wind poured snowflakes into it. The husband, who had not seen him for more than two months, was standing against the door, his thin single clothes were lifted by the night wind, and he didn't know if he was cold.

Seeing her come out, the husband took a step forward, and then his footsteps swayed, and he leaned back against the door, as if he was drunk.

Xiangbao frowned, pursed her lips, and motioned for Ziruo to step forward with her to help him.

Raising his sleeves, the husband shook off Ziruo: "Go out." His thin lips moved slightly, and he coldly threw out two words.

The corners of Xiangbao's mouth twitched slightly, in the middle of the night, it was freezing cold, did he come to her to get drunk and crazy?

Ziruo turned her head and looked at Xiangbao as if asking for help. Xiangbao had to nod and let her go to rest first. Watching Ziruo enter the room, Xiangbao turned around, but saw that her husband was looking at her, and her narrow eyes were a little dazzling.

He stretched out his hand, wrapped his long arm, and Xiangbao fell into his arms. Smelling the smell of wine on his body, Xiangbao reached out and pushed him, but he couldn't push. He held her, motionless, just quietly leaning on her shoulder. The door of the Drunken Moon Pavilion was wide open, and from time to time wind and snow poured in. The man in the thin shirt stood with his back to the door, his head resting tightly against her neck.

The faint smell of wine swirled in the cold air, and Xiangbao reached out to push him away.

"Don't move." He spoke, two words in a low voice.

"Dressed like this, aren't you cold?" Xiangbao stopped pushing him and let him lean against her.

Suddenly, he laughed lowly, even his shoulders were trembling slightly, Xiangbao was a little surprised, but he raised his head, and his dark eyes looked straight at her, undisguised.

"Madame, do you care?" The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and he smiled.

"You're drunk." Xiangbao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Stay with the widow, okay?" The husband stepped forward and licked the corners of her lips carefully, his tone full of temptation.

Feeling the faint aroma of wine on his lips, Xiangbao didn't dare to think about it, so he could only look at him blankly.

He was so close to her, so close...... She could even feel the faint smell of wine in his warm breath.

"Okay?" Seeing that she didn't answer, the husband said again.

Xiangbao just looked at him and let him get drunk, but tonight he was really strange. Obviously, she was already in the Wu Palace, but he kept asking her if she was willing to stay by her side, which was really strange.

"What should I do, the widow doesn't want to let you go anymore......" The husband frowned and looked at her carefully, his slender and cold hand gently caressed her cheeks, his bright eyes were drunk, and then he took her into his arms fiercely, "Hate me, hurt me, I don't want to let you go......" He muttered in a low voice.

Xiangbao was stunned for a moment, but her hand had already subconsciously hugged the man who was hugging her. He shuddered slightly, then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips fiercely, not like a kiss, as if to drain her life. Xiangbao was suddenly a little scared.

His lips were pressed against hers, but they were frighteningly cold.

"The King?" Feeling the weight of him leaning on her getting heavier and heavier, subconsciously, she exclaimed softly.

He didn't answer her, his cold lips brushed over her cheeks, his head hung limply over her shoulders, his shiny black hair falling straight down, and he put the weight of his whole body on hers like that. Xiangbao hurriedly raised his hand to help him, but he was overwhelmed, so he had to hug him tightly and fall to the ground with him.

"Husband...... Husband is poor? Xiangbao turned her head to look at him who fell to the ground with her, and then she was slightly stunned before she realized that she had called him by her name.

It's just that he didn't answer her.

"Ziruo, light the lamp!" Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Xiangbao hurriedly shouted.

Hearing her slightly anxious shout, Ziruo hurriedly lit the lamp and ran over.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

The cold wind blew, and the flames shook and went out. Ziruo hurriedly closed the door and turned on the light again.

Xiangbao stretched out his hand to take the lamp and approached Fucha, only to see that under the faint light, Fucha was quietly leaning in her arms, his long and narrow eyes were closed, and he had completely lost his usual arrogance, only pale and his lips were slightly bruised.

Xiangbao was shocked, he ...... Isn't it poisoned?!

"Go and call the doctor!" didn't have time to think about where the panic in her heart came from, Xiangbao hurriedly ordered Ziruo, her voice so sharp that even she herself was stunned.

Ziruo was also taken aback, and then hurriedly responded, turned around to open the door, and hurriedly ran out.

The cold wind poured in, the lights went out again, and the maids who kept vigil seemed to wake up, and they all ran out in a panic, closing the doors and lighting the lamps.

Xiangbao didn't seem to notice, just looked back at her husband who was leaning on her arms. He slept as unguarded as he had been in the woods that day. Subconsciously reaching out to smooth the tiny wrinkles between his eyebrows, Xiangbao raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Looking down at him, Xiangbao didn't move, Ziruo had already gone to see a doctor, and after a while, his side ...... There is no place for her.

"What's wrong with the king?" The first one to arrive was Wu Zixu, who really deserved to be a loyal and good general.

The doctor didn't arrive, he fell, the news was so fast, how many eyes and ears did he have lurking around? Just thinking about it like this, Xiangbao shuddered.

"I don't know, Ziruo went to see a doctor." Xiangbao didn't look up.

Wu Zixu snorted coldly, raised his hand, and the guards behind him stepped forward to help Fucha and isolated Xiangbao far away, as if she was something dirty. Xiangbao knew that it was useless to struggle, so his efforts were not in vain.

After a while, the doctor arrived.

Xiangbao stood quietly in the corner, looking through a crowd of people, watching the doctor diagnose. Yun Ji, who hadn't seen her for a long time, was gathered around the couch, crying so much that her eyes were red, and she didn't know when the ban was lifted.

"What? The king is poisoned?! Hearing the doctor's words, Wu Zixu was shocked.

Xiangbao was also stunned for a moment, and sure enough, it was...... Poisoned? Looking at the unconscious man lying on the couch from a distance, she was a little stunned for a while, such a person would be poisoned, who did it? Or is it ...... They can't hold back and start moving?

But if the husband dies, what good will it do them?

"What have you done?" Wu Zixu strode up to Xiangbao and scolded angrily.

"Wu Xiangguo thinks I poisoned it?" Xiangbao raised her eyes and looked at him lightly.

"You, the demon concubine of the Yue Kingdom, are trying to get close to the king, is there any other purpose that you can't achieve?" Wu Zixu was so angry that his beard shook and shook.

"Could it be that Wu Xiangguo thinks that I will be stupid enough to poison and kill His Excellency Drunken Moon, and then send Ziruo to a doctor, lest everyone know?" Taking a step back, Xiang Bao said.

Wu Zixu looked at her coldly, and Xiangbao didn't take his eyes off.

"Uncle, it must be her, it must be her poisoning the king!" Yun Ji, who was kneeling on the edge of the couch with tears on her face, pointed at Xiangbao and said sharply.

Wu Zixu snorted coldly, didn't look at Xiangbao again, didn't pay attention to Yun Ji's shouting, walked to the couch and asked the doctor carefully.

"What poison is the king guilty of?"

"This ......," the doctor hesitated for a long time, a little embarrassed, "I don't know for the time being." ”

Hearing this, the wrinkles between Wu Zixu's eyebrows deepened, and then he turned his head to look at Xiangbao, his eyes, which were already slightly cloudy, were gloomy and a little terrifying. Xiangbao still didn't shy away from his scrutiny. It took a long time for him to take his eyes off Xiangbao's face.

The Drunken Moon Pavilion was unprecedentedly lively, Xiangbao stood quietly by the door and watched a bunch of people gather around the couch, watching the palace maids go back and forth, and watching dozens of doctors diagnose in turn.

Day, I don't know when, it's already dawn.

It snowed all night and didn't stop, but it was getting colder.

Looking at the doctors from afar, Xiangbao frowned unconsciously, looked through the crowd at the pale husband who was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, turned around and walked out.

Hook him...... Have you started to make a move? Bowing his head all the way and thinking, Leng Buding bumped into someone, Xiangbao subconsciously bowed his head and apologized, and when he looked up, it was Zheng Dan.

"Have you ever cried?" Looking at her reddish eyes, Xiangbao was a little surprised.

"It's none of your business."

"The king is poisoned, you know?" After thinking about it, Xiangbao said.

"Are you suspicious of me?" Zheng Dan sneered.

Xiangbao smiled: "You think too much. With that, he passed her by and continued walking.

"I hate you." Behind him, Zheng Dan suddenly spoke.

Xiangbao was surprised and turned to look at her: "Why?" ”

"It's all the same people, why do all the people protect you, why can you be safe and worry-free!" Zheng Dan glared at her almost viciously.

"Safe and sound?" Hearing this, Xiangbao was stunned, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

It's familiar.

At that time, when Liujun was drunk, Qiu Xue said, the same parent, why do you have to show your head, but you can be safe and worry-free, and you are drunk in Liujun, why do I have to be dirty, but you don't know the height of the sky.

Today, Zheng Dan said that they are all people, why can you be safe and worry-free......

yes, why?

"Why do people think I'm the one who is safe?" Xiangbao blinked, a little confused.

"What qualifications does a person like you, who is protected by everyone and doesn't know the height of the sky, say this." Zheng Dan gritted his teeth.

"What is there that I don't know and you know?" Xiangbao thought for a moment, stepped forward, and walked up to her, "You know what, right?" ”

Zheng Dan took a step back, for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief, and squeezed out a smile: "One day, you will know." ”

Xiangbao stood in place, looking at the back of Zheng Dan leaving. At that time, Qiu Xue said, God has given you a peerless face, how can you stay out of the red dust, since God is like this, why don't I pull you.

Her pull pulled her into a bottomless cliff.

So Zheng Dan, do you want to pull me now?

Standing stunned for a while, Xiangbao squatted down and sat on the steps, supporting his cheeks and began to be in a daze, from morning to noon, Xiangbao's ability to be in a daze became more and more perfect.

"Mother...... Mother......" Si Xiang's voice suddenly came from afar, faintly crying.

Xiangbao moved his stiff neck, and when he came back to his senses, he found that his body was covered with a layer of snow, like a snowman.

My hands and feet were frozen and unconscious, so cold.

Si Xiang ran all the way, her hair was uncombed, her clothes were scattered, she looked in a hurry, her eyes were red, and there were still undried tears on her cheeks.

"Why are you here? How are you here...... Father, father, he's not good......" Si Xiang ran to Xiangbao, grabbed her sleeve, raised her head and said hurriedly, "Father is very serious...... Those doctors, they just shake their heads, and I can't find you......" Tears fell as he spoke.

Xiangbao's heart jumped suddenly, took his hand, turned around and turned back to the Drunken Moon Pavilion. Unconsciously, she walked faster and faster, and walked more and more urgently. Is there a poison that so many doctors in Wu Palace can't decontaminate?

Biting her lip, she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. When I rushed back to the Drunken Moon Pavilion, the Drunken Moon Pavilion was already crowded with people, and all the ladies seemed to be dispatched, all of them were starry with tears in their eyes, their faces were sad, and they were sobbing in a low voice. That scene is really spectacular. Until today, she can be regarded as having completely seen her husband's harem.

"What? You say the king...... You said that the king has ......" Suddenly, Yun Ji's voice rang out an octave high.

His heart jumped suddenly, and Xiangbao's mind went blank for a long time.

"You bold minions dare to curse the king! Are you tired of being alive? Yun Ji's shrill voice was extremely harsh.

Xiangbao made a "boom" in his ears, gritted his teeth and squeezed into the fat powder bush. Seeing that she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, Si Xiang just squeezed forward desperately, and hurriedly helped her open the way in front. Xiangbao knew that she must be looking extremely embarrassed now.

"What are you doing here?" Wu Zixu's face was extremely ugly.

Xiangbao ignored him, but looked at the motionless husband who was lying on her couch, his eyes closed and his face pale, as if he were really dead.

Before he had time to delve into what he was feeling in his heart, Xiangbao stretched out his cold hand to probe his snort.

She couldn't feel his breath......

As if all the strength of his body had been drained away at once, Xiangbao's feet were weak and he knelt on the edge of the couch.

"What are you doing?!" Yun Ji pushed her away.

Xiangbao was pushed to the side, but as if he was still unconscious, even his expression was wooden, and the whole person was in a trance.

What's going on...... What's going on? That kind of heartache...... What's going on?

"It's all you, it's all you! Demons! Yun Ji shouted angrily with red eyes, "Come on, drag her down!" ”

A guard stepped forward in response and dragged Xiangbao up, and as she pulled, her hair fell apart, and she was still wooden, as if only a soulless body remained.

"The widow is not dead." Coldly, a very light voice sounded, but with an extremely heavy weight.

The room immediately fell silent, and the guards let go of their hands and knelt down with the crowd in trepidation, so a room full of kneeling people.

Xiangbao fell to the ground suddenly, and when she heard a familiar voice, she turned her head to look blankly at the man lying on the couch, who was also looking at her, and his dark eyes looked very tired.

"Come here." Tugging at his pale lips, he whispered.

Xiangbao staggered to her feet and walked to the couch.

"Why are you so embarrassed?" He struggled to raise his hand, and she bent down obediently, letting his cold hand touch her face.

"You're not...... Dead? Moving her lips, she murmured, as if in a dream.

The warm liquid dripped on his pale cheeks, and he was slightly stunned, as if he wanted to raise his lips and chuckle, but finally gave up, and only moved his lips, as if to say something.

Xiangbao approached him and put her ear to his lips, and she heard him say, "If I die, you will be bullied......

Fucha began to cough violently again, and the doctors hurried forward, and Xiangbao was pushed aside again. There was no time to pay attention to Yun Ji's poisonous snake-like gaze, Xiangbao looked at the husband lying on the couch, his eyes were slightly closed, his face was pale, and his forehead was full of sweat, and there were maids on the side who kept wiping the sweat from his forehead for him, looking very hard.

He woke up...... He woke up......

Xiangbao suddenly had a desire to cry, as if the heart hanging in her throat was back in place, and she was a little out of strength.

Boiling medicine, feeding medicine, everyone is very busy, only Xiangbao is idle, as if an outsider.

"Get out of the way, you're in the way." Yun Ji brought the basin over and pushed Xiangbao away.

Xiangbao staggered, took a few steps back before standing firmly, and could only watch from afar. The husband only woke up for a while, and then fell into a deep stupor. Looking at his pale and lifeless appearance, her heart seemed to clench. Raising her hand to cover her heart, Xiangbao ran out of the room with a pale face, this room, she would be sad to die if she stayed for a while.

Time passed little by little, and Xiangbao sat outside the door in a daze, not daring to go in, but not daring to go far. She kept wondering why her heart hurt......

"Madam, Madam......" Ziruo tugged at Xiangbao's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Xiangbao hurriedly turned around, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"I just heard what Wu Xiangguo and the doctors said...... If you can't find the antidote, the king will have a day at most......"

"What?"

They said...... If there is no antidote, the king has one day left to live at most. Ziruo choked up.

Xiangbao stood up suddenly, ignoring Ziruo's shouts, turned around and ran out of the Drunken Moon Pavilion and went straight to the palace gate. She had thought ...... She can stand by and watch as they go.

But......

She now finds that she can't.

Running all the way to the gate of the palace, Xiangbao was stopped by the guards guarding the door, and seeing their iron-faced and selfless appearance, Xiangbao couldn't help but start to have a headache.

"Release." Si Xiang's voice sounded behind him.

Xiangbao looked back in surprise.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The guards guarding the door looked a little embarrassed.

"I said, let it go." Si Xiang held his hands behind his back, quite a bit of a posture of not being angry but threatening.

"Tsukashi ......"

"Mother, I believe in you."

"Hmm!" Nodding, Xiangbao ran out of the palace gate.

He raised his head and took a breath, and the cold feeling went from his nose to the bottom of his heart, and Xiangbao's whole person was awake. Looking up at the sky, it was gray, and the snow was still falling.

I don't know when this snow will stop.

Not far from the palace gate, there was a row of low and dilapidated huts, and Xiangbao lifted the hem of her skirt and walked over. As soon as I stepped into the hut, I smelled a musty smell, as if I hadn't lived there for a long time. Xiangbao couldn't help but raise his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and looked around, there was almost no light in the room, and he couldn't see the situation inside. Xiangbao stepped back, trying to see more clearly.

"Mrs. Shih Tzu." Coldly, a somewhat familiar voice sounded.

Is it Mrs. Jun? Xiangbao took a step back and let the light from outside the house shine into the house, and only then did she see clearly that Madame Jun was standing not far from her and watching her. Behind her, there was a messy pile of clothes.

"I've seen Mrs. Jun." Thinking of asking for her, Xiangbao hurriedly bent down and saluted.

"Madame has tormented me." Mrs. Jun stepped forward and raised her hand to help her, her voice faint.

It wasn't until she got closer that Xiangbao could see her face clearly. She was haggard, and there were many wrinkles on her face, like a village girl, wearing a shabby narrow-sleeved long skirt, and she couldn't distinguish her original appearance for a long time. Although Mrs. Jun was not a stunning beauty originally, she was always very well maintained, but now she looks like this...... However, she still straightened up, retaining the posture of a motherly world.

"Madam Jun, where is your lordship?" Don't care about being tactful, Xiangbao asked.

Mrs. Jun glanced up at her, and then smiled: "Your Majesty is guarding the tomb by the tomb of Helu. ”

Tomb of the Closed Lu? Before he had time to think, Xiangbao nodded hurriedly, turned around and ran out.
