The cold poison is back in the rivers and lakes
Yun Ying'er looked at the cliff, her eyes revealed a gleam, and the corners of her mouth smiled slightly: "Fortunately, we stopped the carrier pigeon of Wanguogong."
"It's also thanks to you for following Xiaomi, which made me confirm my guess."
"We should go back, or the Pavilion Master will look for us again."
The two of them put on their veils again, jumped on tiptoe on the branches, and their bodies moved freely through the dead woods, and in a few moments there were only fallen leaves left in the woods.
Xiangqin lay on the carriage, her face full of grief, one hand still stretched out, and tears fell into the cliff one by one.
"Lord ......"
Sunaxi let go of Xiangqin's wrist and fell down the cliff, his body broke the stump above, and his gorgeous clothes were torn to pieces.
Intermittent cries of pain overflowed from his mouth, wisps of blood bloomed on his body, and Suna Creek fell into the abyss with his eyes closed.
"In the end, I still need to save people!"
A melodious flute sounded, and an old man jumped up from below, holding a long whip, and wrapped up Suna Creek, which had fallen from above.
"Poof......
The old man's eyes were quick, he poured out a pill from the gourd in his arms, opened Sunaxi's mouth with one hand, and fed the pill in his hand into his mouth.
"Oops, oops, this really scares me to death, how can I vomit so much blood."
Don't look at the old man's yellow face and thin muscles, but his arms are very powerful, and after Sunaxi's blood stopped, he carried the person on his shoulders with all his strength and staggered out.
Xiangqin's hair on it was scattered, and he climbed out of the carriage, and the pink dress on his body was also hooked by the carriage a few times, and the whole person was in rags.
"Lord Wang, wait for me...... Wait until I get back......"
Xiangqin's leg was stuck in the carriage and injured, her right leg was covered with specks of blood, she desperately grabbed the ground with her hands, and dragged her body to sit under the trunk of a dead tree.
"Hiss......"
She picked up a few branches from the side, tore open her skirt, tied them to her injured calf, and stood up with her teeth on the trunk.
Limping and dragging his right leg forward, Xiangqin looked back at the carriage hanging on the edge of the cliff, his eyes full of determination.
Resisting the pain, she walked along the path from which the carriage had come, and she was alone on a trail.
The housekeeper in the palace died inexplicably under the mouth of the Tibetan mastiff, and only a few human bones and a few pieces of torn clothes remained in the iron cage.
"Master Guan, Master Guan, you have to investigate the case well, this housekeeper will definitely not come here on weekdays, what he is most afraid of is the Tibetan mastiff raised by this prince!"
A well-maintained woman cried and shouted and knelt on the ground, calling "official master" one by one, this woman is the housekeeper's original wife, Liu Menglan.
At this time, she was like a crazy woman on the street, her hair was messy and disheveled, and she was still pulling the clothes of the fast catcher with one hand.
"Mrs. Chen, don't worry, your family is drinking and stumbling here, you can come with us to have a look."
Liu Menglan wiped a handful of tears, and looked at the catcher who was talking to her in disbelief: "The housekeeper has a good amount of alcohol, and he has never been drunk, so you can take a look at it!"
"There's no body here, there's only a few bones left, and there's nothing we can do about it."
Xiangxiang stood aside, his heart was sour, his eyes were red, and he walked to Liu Menglan's side: "Mrs. Chen, you mourn and change, people can't be resurrected after death."
"Girl, girl, talk to the official again, Chen Quan, he won't get drunk, he won't ......"
Liu Menglan walked to Xiangxiang with her knees, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, she just went out to buy some food today, and was going to come back to make a meal of his favorite dumplings for Chen Quan, but this person was gone......
Xiangxiang bent down to support Liu Menglan, who kept kowtowing, covered Liu Menglan's bleeding forehead with a handkerchief and said, "Mrs. Chen, you are a good woman, not worth ......"
Liu Menglan, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, her eyes gradually dispersed, she didn't know Chen Quan's bad things, but she didn't believe in those rumors, she only believed Chen Quan.
"No...... No...... You're all lying to me...... He was so good to me! ”
Liu Menglan suddenly went crazy, grabbed Xiangxiang's fingernails and embedded them in Xiangxiang's flesh, the whole person knelt on the ground and twitched, and her eyes began to roll white.
"Mrs. Chen! Mrs. Chen, what's wrong with you? ”
The maids in the courtyard covered their mouths and noses and retreated to the side, and the doctor who came with the catch came over, Xiangxiang helped Liu Menglan to lie on the ground, and the doctor leaned over and put down the medicine box.
"Girl, you help me hold her, I need to take Mrs. Chen's pulse first."
"Okay."
Xiangxiang pulled down the hand on his arm hard, and his whole body pressed on Liu Menglan's body, so he barely pressed down.
The doctor pulled his sleeve aside with his hand, put one hand on the pulse of Liu Menglan's wrist, and slowly touched his beard to take the pulse.
"Qi and blood are surging, but the pulse is very weak...... the doctor paused, leaned over to look at Liu Menglan's eyes, and opened her eyelids with one hand to look at her carefully.
"No, no...... This is not a surge of qi and blood, this is the cold poison that appeared on the rivers and lakes many years ago! ”
When a few catchers behind him heard this, they retreated far away, and a few maids had never heard of cold poison, but when they saw the action of catching fast, their faces also changed.
"Cold poison, what is this?"
"Girl, get up and leave this woman quickly, it will be contagious!"
Before the doctor's words fell, the man had long since disappeared, he was in such a hurry that he didn't even take the medicine box with him, and the catchers didn't dare to stay any longer, so they ran out after looking for the reason.
The maids in the courtyard looked at each other, they didn't understand what cold poison was, but when they saw that the doctors had run away, they were also very panicked, and they had no idea for a while.
"What should I do, the doctor said it would be contagious......"
"yes, we're not going to be infected!"
Several people shouted in the courtyard, Xiangxiang stood up straight and looked at Liu Menglan, who was stiff on the ground, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Burn her!"
"What?"
The maids who heard this turned their heads to look at Xiangxiang, and a first-class maid asked Xiangxiang again: "Xiangxiang, what did you say?"
"I said, burn her." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Menglan on the ground, with a resolute look on his face.
"Why did you burn her? Cremation of the body...... This is against the wishes of our ancestors! ”
"If you don't burn her, everyone will die! Didn't you hear the doctor say that it would be contagious? ”
Xiangxiang shouted and looked at the cowering maids, and his outstretched fingers slowly raised and pointed at a few of them.
"Yes...... But who burned her? What's more, she's not dead yet......"
The third-class maid in black clothes spoke in a smaller and smaller voice, her eyes dodged and she didn't dare to look at Xiangxiang anymore, everyone in this palace knew Xiangqin and Xiangxiang sisters.
Xiangqin is gentle, friendly and kind, while her sister Xiangxiang is the opposite, she is a ruthless person who can do things and things.
"Get me a torch now, I'll come!"
"Xiangxiang, why don't we make a decision when Sister Xiangqin comes back?"
Xiang Xiang lowered her arms and looked at the person who spoke, a lake blue skirt hunting in the wind, lining her skin to be pink and snow-white.
"You can wait, but she, can you wait?"
I don't know who sent a torch, Xiangxiang stretched out his hand to take it, and looked at Liu Menglan who was still moaning on the ground with deep eyes.
"Mrs. Chen, I'm sorry."
The torch was blazing, puffs of black smoke rushed into the sky, Xiangxiang's immature face slipped with a touch of inappropriate viciousness, and the torch in his hand fell on Liu Menglan's dress.
Strange to say, as soon as the torch fell on Liu Menglan's dress, the flames rushed up along her clothes as if they had life.
Liu Menglan, who was lying on the ground, did not move at first, but as the fire grew bigger and bigger, flames began to appear on her face, her closed eyes widened violently, and her two hands waved in the air.
"Ah...... Hurt! Give me water! ”
Xiangxiang looked at Liu Menglan rolling on the ground indifferently and ruthlessly, raised his feet and took a few steps back, and stood with the maids on the side.
"Hunan ...... Xiangxiang, will we be retributed? ”
One of the maids covered her eyes and didn't dare to look any further, and quietly asked Xiangxiang beside her, her face full of panic.
The terrible screams were endless, and Liu Menglan, who was burned into a fire, got up from the ground and stumbled towards the maids.
"Don't come here! Don't ......"
The maids were so frightened that their faces were like earth, and they scattered like birds and beasts, and Liu Menglan, who had only half a breath left, didn't look for anyone, and walked straight towards Xiangxiang.
"You...... It's you...... Medicine ......"
A few unspoken words spit out from the fireball, Xiangxiang's face turned cold, the coldness between her eyebrows became more and more obvious, and she said softly with thin lips: "You provoked me first......"
No one saw Xiang Xiang speak, they turned around and saw that the fireball was kicked to the ground by Xiang Xiang and never got up again.
She ...... She's dead? ”
Xiangqin, who was injured, pushed open the door with all his might, and before he reached the prince's house, he saw the skyrocketing firelight, staggered over, and saw a burned corpse beyond recognition.
"Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang ......"
"Sister, I'm here."
Before Xiangqin's words were finished, Xiangxiang's voice sounded behind her, and the dead branch in her hand fell to the ground, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Xiangqin has experienced too much this day, and she is very afraid...... She was afraid that her relatives would leave, and after so many years, she had already regarded the prince as a family member.
"Xiangxiang, Lord Wang...... The prince has fallen......"
When the crowd heard this silent cry, they were dumbfounded, they didn't know what Xiangqin's sentence "The prince fell" meant.
"Sister Xiangqin, you ...... What does that mean? ”
"The prince and I went out today, and we were taken to the cliff outside the city by a plot, and the prince ...... I don't know ...... life or death."
Mingli, who was hiding in the dark and carrying a burden, suddenly stopped, she heard what Xiangqin said, and the prince ...... It was plotted by someone!
"Sister, don't be afraid, the prince will be fine."
"Quick, Xiangxiang, quickly take someone out to find the prince......"
Xiangqin lay on her sister and cried breathlessly, one hand was still pointing out the door, now it was late, her heart seemed to be held by a hand, and she was dying of pain.
"Okay, okay, sister, don't worry, I'll let people go out to find the prince."
“…… Fast...... Go ......."
Xiangxiang is young, but at the moment she is the most calm person in the courtyard, she first asked others to send Xiangqin back to the room, and then took the family in the house out.
"You follow me out of the city, don't make a noise along the way, remember not to alarm others, and never let others know that something happened to the prince."
"Yes!"
All the housekeepers in the courtyard were wearing black night clothes, with a short sword in their hands, Xiang Xiang came out of the room, dressed in black and looking slender, and his eyes were even more blazing in the night.
"Let's go!"
A team of people went out quietly under the leadership of Xiangxiang, and there was no one in the courtyard of the house, and there was not even a candle in the house.
"Let's go, let's follow, remember to find the prince."
"Yes!"
Under the cover of night, the two teams walked out of the city, and everything was carried out so quietly.
