Jiang Chengjia's expression did not change much, but the already cold eyes became even colder.

She sniffed the smell of the decoction, and said with a sneer: "You really look up to me, and you actually use this colorless and tasteless medicine of the Western Regions." ”

Xiao Cui stared at the silver hairpin and decoction that Jiang Chengjia was holding in both hands, hesitant and at a loss, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Chengjia put the decoction medicine back on the food table that Xiao Cui was still holding, and whispered to her: "Pour this medicine quietly, don't let people find out, especially don't let Ziwei see it." ”

Xiao Cui was stunned, and she didn't know why.

A call came from outside the house, "Xiaocui, can the girl drink the medicine?" ”

Qianshan's voice floated into the house, and Xiaocui hurriedly responded: "Drink, Sister Qianshan, don't worry." ”

Qian Shan stood outside, and when she heard Xiao Cui say this, her face seemed to be relieved, and then she said, "Then you will guard the female monarch well, and I will go to rest first." ”

Xiao Cui amplified her voice and replied, "Sister, rest well, if something happens, I will go to you." ”

There was no sound outside, and a soft footstep faded away.

Jiang Chengjia smiled lightly, glanced at Xiao Cui who turned his head, and then lay down on the bed and continued to pretend to sleep.

Qian Shan moved her muscles and bones as she walked towards the tent set up in the courtyard.

Lifting the curtain, she walked to the innermost mat and sat down as if nothing had happened, sighed, rubbed her shoulders, and stretched her waist tiredly. To her right, six girls slept. Qian Shan inadvertently glanced at them, then took off her coat and lifted the futon to rest.

At this time, a soft call suddenly came from the tent: "Sister Qianshan." ”

"Huh?" Qian Shan replied in a daze, opening her half-squinted eyes and looking at the place where the voice came from.

Ziwei sat in the innermost part and leaned out half of her body and asked, "The female monarch has drunk so much medicine, is it better?" ”

Qian Shan frowned, and muttered very sleepily: "Xiao Cui served the female monarch and drank the medicine, and when I went to see it a few times at night, it seemed to be better. Ziwei Mo has to worry, the female monarch is blessed, it will be fine, rest quickly, after an hour, you will get up and continue to take care of the female monarch, and it is most important to be able to maintain your spirit. ”

Ziwei answered and lay down.

The tent was very silent, there was not a single sound, and gradually there was the sound of breathing one after another.

The eight of them were so tired that they all fell asleep.

The night is like a thick inkstone, so deep that it can't be dissolved, people quietly fall into a dream, and the moon outside the tent is hazy. It was a time of silence.

Suddenly, there was a scream from the master bedroom.

Xiao Cui pushed open the door in a panic, screaming and screaming, "Someone! Come on! Something happened to the female monarch! Lord Sun! Where is Lord Sun? ”

The seven or eight people in the tent and a bunch of guards guarding the courtyard were awakened by this scream, and they all got up and asked each other, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Cui's footsteps rushed to the tent in the courtyard like a swift wind, and when she opened the curtain, she shouted at her: "Sister Qianshan! Hurry up! Hurry up and call Lord Sun Qi over, female monarch... I don't know how I got it... Lady she...."

Qianshan jumped up from the bed with a carp, rushed to Xiaocui, grabbed her shirt and asked nervously, "What's wrong with the female monarch?" ”

Xiao Cui's face was bloodless, she was terrified, and trembled all over: "Nujun, she... I can't wake up from the beginning... My body also began to be cold, and my nose, eyes, and mouth were all bloody.... I... I don't know what's going on, sister! Lady she..."

She said incoherently, Qian Shan pushed her away and rushed to Jiang Chengjia's house.

Just as the people in the tent hadn't reacted to what was going on, a terrible scream suddenly came from the bedroom: "Lady! What happened to you? ”

Xiao Cui lay limply on her legs outside the tent, her eyes full of fear.

Shuihe, Black Tea, Xiaoqi, Ziwei and the other three maids all gathered around to ask what was going on, and when they heard the screams coming from the house again, they all hurried towards the house.

The guards outside the courtyard did not dare to enter, and when they heard Xiao Cui's call, they had already sent someone to summon Sun Qi and Ji Xianzhi.

As soon as Shuihe and Black Tea ran to the door of the house, they were stopped by Qian Shan who came out of it.

At this moment, Qian Shan's hands were covered with blood, trembling all over, her eyes were wide open, staring at the water river rushing at the front, her speech order was reversed, and she screamed uncontrollably: "Go and call Lord Sun!" Find Mr. Ji! Go! Go! After the roar subsided, she kept repeating the three words, "No... No, it won't. ”

Ziwei stood at the foot of the steps, blocked by a group of people, and was not allowed to take a step forward, but looking at Qianshan like this, she couldn't help but be shocked in her heart.

Soon, Ji Xianzhi hurriedly arrived with Sun Qi, and the guards behind him also followed them towards the courtyard.

He rushed to the front of the house, pushed aside the pile of maids who were blocking the door, came to Qianshan and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened to the female monarch? ”

Qian Shan looked at Ji Xianzhi in despair, and said tremblingly: "Female monarch... Lady..."

Ji Xianzhi saw that she couldn't speak, so he dragged Sun Qi and rushed inside, and a team of guards went around the bedroom to guard, so anyone might as well enter.

Qian Shan turned her head and followed Ji Xianzhi inside. 4E

The servants and maidservants stood on the steps and craned their necks to look into the house, but there was no movement for a long time.

After a stick of incense, they saw Sun Qi rushing out with a pale face, Ji Xianzhi almost fainted, and only stood up slightly by holding on to the door frame, and Qian Shan leaned on the edge of the couch and had completely fainted.

Xiao Qi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Mr. Ji, what's wrong? What happened to the female monarch? ”

Ji Xianzhi stood still against the door frame for a while, recovered a little, his face was dark, and he said coldly and angrily: "Someone will clear the detention of the person who has served the female monarch tonight!" Including Qianshan and Xiaocui! ”

The elite guards in a circle outside the house replied in unison, "Yes! ”

Immediately after that, the group of strong men immediately dragged the nine servants and maids who were powerless, tied their hands with ropes, and dragged them mercilessly to the outside of the north courtyard.

Suddenly, a group of people screamed and struggled, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Ji Xianzhi then instructed: "Go and search the West Courtyard well!" ”

The other elite guards received the order and quickly rushed out.

All of a sudden, the whole house was in chaos.

Nanyang Pavilion, Li Xiangjun, who had been waiting for the news, heard that there was a noisy sound outside, so he hurriedly lit the lamp, and called Pei Ling and Minghua to go out to check the situation. ”

Li Shi, who was standing in front of the steps of the pavilion, grabbed Minghua's hand, and suddenly squeezed it hard, and his eyes flashed secretly.

Minghua was startled by the sudden pain on the back of his hand, threw a glance at Li, and slowly lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Pei Ling didn't know what was going on outside, but she knew that since the evening today, there has been no rest at the other end of the North Courtyard.

The three of them went out of the courtyard, and two more servants passed by them and whispered.

"The female monarch is bleeding, and when I heard that Sister Qianshan was dragged out, her hands were full of blood... It seems that the female monarch will not survive tonight. ”

"yes.... I don't know who is so ruthless, Master Sun rushed out of the north courtyard, took something and rushed back, but it was useless.... This poison is really powerful.... When did you say that the female monarch was poisoned? ”

"Who knows?"

"Is our prince fateful?"

"What nonsense?"

"I'm not talking nonsense, if it weren't for that, why would Mrs. Cao still have not recovered from her illness, and the female monarch has also suffered accidents. Forced to make it like this? ”

"Shhh, don't say more, don't you know that trouble comes from your mouth?"

The two servants spoke in a loud voice, but because they happened to pass by Nanyang Pavilion and did not see the three people standing in front of the door clearly in the night, they did not hide it.

And their conversation happened to fall into Li Xiangjun's ears.

Pei Ling was very surprised when she heard this, and whispered in Li's ear: "Then the Jiang family is unexpectedly... Princess... Shall we go over and take a look? ”

Li Xiangjun stared at his eyes and fixed his eyes before he said, "There is such a big thing... My aunt is sick again, and Brother Zhao has not yet returned, and I am the only person in charge of this house, so I naturally want to go over and take a look. Looking.... It was the servants and maids in this house who had a bad heart for Aluo. How dare you do that! ”

Pei Ling nodded, and then helped her and Minghua to walk towards the north courtyard together.

Ji Xianzhi wandered anxiously in the North Courtyard, and Sun Qi ran back and forth dozens of times, all of which looked bad.

The whole yard is enveloped in an eerie atmosphere.

Li hurriedly came to the front of the Zhaobi, rushed into the inner courtyard, and was stopped and pushed out by the Jing Governor's guard.

"Be bold! Dare to stop Princess Nanyang? Pei Ling saw these soldiers standing in front of the three of them, so she scolded angrily.

The leading military man said straightforwardly: "The princess forgives her sins, the military order is in her body, and her subordinates are rude." ”

Li Shi glared at the military man coldly and said, "Who gave you the guts?" In addition to your father-in-law, others dare to stop me in this courtyard? ”

Jun Han continued to bow his head and clench his fists, standing motionless in front of her and said coldly: "When my subordinates joined the army, they only listened to the orders of their superiors, and the lord explained before leaving that he was not there, and Mr. Ji's order was his life." ”

Li's face was ugly, and he was about to continue to reprimand.

But a loud male voice came from inside: "Mrs. Xiang is angry!" ”

Ji Xianzhi walked out of it.

Li's expression eased slightly, glanced at Ji Xianzhi, and asked gently, "Uncle Ji, you came just in time." I was about to ask... What happened to the North Courtyard? Why did you surround so many elite guards at night? ”

Ji Xianzhi calmly covered it up: "Don't worry, princess, it's just that there are thieves in the courtyard who steal, and now they have been caught." ”

Li Shi listened to the excuse he made, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
