Chapter 289: A Chance Encounter

"Wrong." Just when Zhou Xinzhi was thinking about Mo Han's identity, Mo Han suddenly opened his mouth.

"Huh? What's wrong? Zhou Xinzhi was stunned for a moment when she heard Mo Han's words, and then raised her head and asked.

Mo Han raised his finger and pointed at the medicinal herbs in Zhou Xinzhi's hand: "The order is wrong, you will speed up blood circulation in this way, and the toxins will spread faster and faster." ”

"Master, he is right." The voice of the system sounded in her head, Zhou Xinzhi squinted her eyes, and laughed twice with some embarrassment, and then she took the correct medicinal herb from Mo Han's hand.

Mo Han regained his expression just now, and he stood there quietly, with no emotion in his eyes.

Zhou Xinzhi raised her eyebrows, she couldn't guess what this person thought, but now it seems that this person should have no malicious intent.

The medicine boiled for more than half a day before it was boiled, Zhou Xinzhi raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, and carefully poured the medicine in the pot into the bowl.

"Use the bowl next to it, this bowl is silverware, it will react with the medicine." Mo Han suddenly opened his mouth again, his fingers moved slightly, and soon a porcelain bowl was placed in front of Zhou Xinzhi.

Zhou Xinzhi hesitated for a moment and poured the medicine into the porcelain bowl, after all, after what happened just now, Mo Han's credibility has improved a lot in her.

Qin Qianyu was still asleep, Wei Qing was helping Qin Qianyu wipe the sweat from his forehead, and when he saw Zhou Xinzhi coming in, Wei Qing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people worked together to help Qin Qianyu up, and Zhou Xinzhi wasted a lot of strength to let Qin Qianyu drink the medicine little by little.

"How's the second one?" As soon as a few people stopped, the emperor's voice came from the door.

The emperor obviously had just left the court, and he was still wearing a dragon robe, and he was followed by Qin Shuyu and Qin Chaoyue.

"Second brother, what's wrong?" Qin Shuyu raised his eyebrows, stepped forward to look at Qin Qianyu, and after seeing Qin Qianyu's pale face lying motionless on the bed, the corners of his lips hooked.

Zhou Xinzhi took Qin Shuyu's expression into her eyes, she squinted her eyes, although she didn't show it on her face, but in her heart she was secretly thinking about whether yesterday's person was related to Qin Shuyu.

"When will the second child wake up?" Emperor Xuanjing also took two steps forward.

Emperor Xuanjing's attitude towards Qin Qianyu is a little complicated, after all, he is not a child who grew up with him, so naturally he has no superfluous feelings.

Zhou Xinzhi pursed her lips, lowered her head and whispered: "It will be a few days, this medicine has just been fed, and the effect of the medicine may be a few days." ”

Emperor Xuanjing nodded, there was no other expression on his face, he lowered his head and touched Qin Qianyu's face with his fingers.

Zhou Xinzhi stood aside obediently and did not speak, she naturally had no qualifications to speak at this moment.

"Someone, bring the things to the county lord." Zhou Xinzhi was thinking about it, when suddenly Emperor Xuanjing raised his hand and waved his hand in the direction of the door.

After a while, a few maids came over from the door, and they stood still in place, and then showed the things in their hands to Zhou Xinzhi.

Zhou Xinzhi's face was silent, but his eyes looked carefully, most of them were the medicinal materials that Qin Qianyu needed, and now it seems that the emperor also has a heart for Qin Qianyu.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Zhou Xinzhi knelt on the ground and said.

The emperor raised his hand, obviously not paying attention to Zhou Xinzhi's salute.

Zhou Xinzhi was not angry, now that she had taken the medicinal materials, she could save Qin Qianyu back, and other things were not important.

"Okay, let the second child recuperate, I'll go first." Emperor Xuanjing stood for a while and was reluctant to stay any longer, but fortunately, the old eunuch in the palace came with news that the queen was unwell, and the emperor left in a hurry.

As for Qin Shuyu and Qin Chaoyue, naturally I didn't say much, the two of them had a polite conversation with Zhou Xinzhi, and they each made excuses to leave.

"County Lord, what are we going to do next? The assassin ran away, and the emperor was obviously unwilling to help us find the person behind the attack on the medicinal herbs, so we ......" Qiao Cui watched everyone leave, and then cautiously opened her mouth.

Zhou Xinzhi shook her head, she lowered her head to help Qin Qianyu sort out her clothes, and her eyes looked stunned and didn't speak.

Qiaocui hesitated for a moment and quieted down, she blinked her eyes twice, and lightly helped Zhou Xinzhi tidy up the quilt on one side.

"Come with me on the street to buy something." Zhou Xinzhi suddenly opened her mouth.

At this moment, Zhou Xinzhi didn't have any idea in her mind at all, she just wanted to go out and try her luck, in case she could find any clues. Just love

Qiaocui didn't understand Zhou Xinzhi's intentions, but she didn't know anything about Zhou Xinzhi's orders, so the two of them cleaned up, and Zhou Xinzhi arranged for Wei Qing to accompany Qin Qianyu by his side, and then went out.

Today's sky is very clear, probably because of the heavy snow, so there is a trace of cold air outside, Zhou Xinzhi and Qiaocui carefully dodged the ice on the ground, while looking at the small shop next to them.

"County Lord, look at that person!" The two of them were walking, and suddenly a caravan came to them, and the man at the head was turning sideways and laughing with the people around him.

Zhou Xinzhi frowned, and glanced at Qiao Cui with some puzzlement, but he was just a man from an outland, what could they pay attention to.

"The people in this caravan all carried the red string of beads, but the man in the lead didn't bring it." After Qiao Cui watched the caravan leave in a majestic manner, she raised her eyebrows and cautiously opened her mouth at Zhou Xinzhi.

When Zhou Xinzhi heard this, her face sank, her arm involuntarily stretched out to her waist, she wanted to take out the bead string on her waist, but at this moment she realized that the thing on her waist had been touched by someone when she didn't know when.

"Could it be that the people who came that day had something to do with the temple?" Zhou Xinzhi's face was even more ugly, her fingers rubbing her clothes, and her face showed a thoughtful look.

"Girl, I want to ask where to go to the palace?" Just when the two of them were in a daze, suddenly the man who had just taken the lead suddenly ran over, he was wearing heavy fur, and his temperament did not look like an ordinary businessman.

"The Imperial Palace? Are you going to the palace? Zhou Xinzhi was a little surprised in her heart, she hadn't heard that the emperor had recently invited people from neighboring countries to come over, not to mention that it was the end of the year, how could there be a caravan coming over after drinking and being busy dealing with the affairs of her own country.

The man who asked for directions nodded, he glanced at Zhou Xinzhi carefully, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Could it be that you are Zhou Xinzhi Zhou County Lord?" ”

"You know me?" Zhou Xinzhi blinked, feeling a little incredulous, she raised her head to look into the man's eyes.

The man's eyes were so clean that it shocked people's hearts, and Zhou Xinzhi hurriedly lowered her head, staggering her gaze from the man.

"Of course, who doesn't know you, your treatment has allowed so many people to survive, and in our place, you are a living bodhisattva." The man looked familiar.

Zhou Xinzhi took a step back and widened the distance between the two people: "The palace goes straight to the east and arrives, it's easy to find." ”

"Does the county lord want to enter the palace with us?" The man chuckled, he didn't pay much attention to Zhou Xinzhi's alienation, he blinked and looked at Zhou Xinzhi, his voice was gentle.

Zhou Xinzhi felt that something was wrong, she pursed her lips, and shook her head a little puzzled: "No." ”

"Okay, then there will be a date later." The man smiled, he raised his finger and patted Zhou Xinzhi on the shoulder, and then he didn't care what Zhou Xinzhi said, he strode on the horse and left.

In the evening, the eunuch beside the emperor sent a message, saying that he wanted Zhou Xinzhi to go to the palace.

"Is there something wrong with my father-in-law? You also know Qianyu's body, if I leave, I really don't feel at ease......" Zhou Xinzhi lowered her head and glanced at Qin Qianyu lying on the bed aggrievedly, the emperor asked her to go to the palace at this time, there was nothing good for her, of course she could push it.

The father-in-law who came to deliver the message shook his head, and he stretched out his hand to push away the silver handed over by Qiao Cui: "County Lord, the caravan from the neighboring country is here today, and I want you to accompany you for a walk, as for the rest, the old slave is not clear." ”

Zhou Xinzhi's eyes rolled around, and she probably understood what the emperor meant, and now she was taking advantage of Qin Qianyu's illness to sell herself to people in neighboring countries, she was isolated at the moment, of course, it was the best time to manipulate.

The father-in-law who was talking on the side lowered his head and did not speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassing.

"Then my father-in-law will wait for me." Zhou Xinzhi blinked, she knew that she had no way to escape at the moment, and the only choice at the moment was to follow this father-in-law into the palace.

The father-in-law who came to deliver the message nodded, he took a step back, and gave up the position at the door to Zhou Xinzhi: "Trouble the county lord quickly, after all, the emperor doesn't have the patience to wait for others." ”

Zhou Xinzhi answered and quickly entered the dressing room next to her, she casually found a piece of clothing that looked a little tattered and put it on her body, and then turned around and went out.

The father-in-law who came to deliver the message was obviously shocked the moment he saw Zhou Xinzhi, he raised his eyebrows and moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Zhou Xinzhi shook her head, and without waiting for the public to speak, she strode out.

At this moment, the palace was singing and dancing, and Zhou Xinzhi was taken to the side hall by the maid.

"See the Emperor." Zhou Xinzhi knelt on the ground and saluted.

The royal power and wealth in the room saw Zhou Xinzhi and glanced at each other tacitly, Zhou Xinzhi didn't pay much attention to it, she blinked, knelt in the center of the hall with her back straight, and looked quite imposing.

Although the emperor was not satisfied with Zhou Xinzhi's clothes, since she was already here, there was no reason to let her go back, so the emperor raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to point to the position at the door: "Sit there." ”

Zhou Xinzhi licked the corners of her lips, turned her head sideways to look at the position of the door, and gritted her teeth, Emperor Xuanjing's purpose was so obvious that she suddenly wanted to laugh at this moment.
