Chapter One Hundred and Five
Even though the intersection with Chu Xuewei is not so deep, in the past few days, Lu Lu is definitely not a bad guy with distracting thoughts.
So seeing Chu Xuewei's face blue and falling in front of his eyes, it was impossible for him to die without help.
So, when the two guards weren't paying attention, he took out a silver needle and stabbed Chu Xuewei a few times in the tiger's mouth.
Chu Xuewei, who was already unconscious, suddenly had a rapid rise and fall in her chest, and then gradually calmed down.
After a while, her face returned to normal.
Seeing this, Imperial Physician Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay." β
The two guards looked at the small bottle in Imperial Physician Liu's hand with hopeful eyes, "Imperial Physician Liu, you see that the little ones just carried her out can be regarded as direct contact with her, can you?" β
Imperial Physician Liu didn't say much, and left the bottle directly with them.
It's just that it's not an antidote in it, it's just some potions to prevent insect bites, and it's just a lie for him to say that.
Just when the two guards were very happy, Imperial Doctor Liu said: "By the way, I would like to remind the two of you, this woman is the ninth princess of the dynasty, even if she is imprisoned in the prison today, she does not have much time, but the title is there after all." This is the family affair of the emperor and the seventh prince, if you embarrass her in the prison and are known by the seventh prince, the emperor and the seventh prince will naturally not have any changes, but you may not necessarily. β
That's all Dr. Liu said, but those two guards weren't stupid either.
After he said this, he immediately understood, and thanked again and again: "Thank you for your advice." β
Imperial Physician Liu let out an "um".
Seeing the two guards carrying Chu Xuewei into the distance, Imperial Physician Liu frowned, and finally turned around and walked towards the door.
It's a pity that he had just walked out of Qiyue Palace, and Imperial Physician Sun shouted behind him: "Shenghan, why are you going?" β
Imperial Physician Liu paused for a moment, and bowed humbly, "Teacher." β
Imperial Physician Sun blew his beard and glared at him, "I can tell you, it's best not to have anything to do with the Nine Kings' Mansion." Now that this is happening, even if you can save her for a while, you can't help her all the time, right? What's more, someone has to come out to take the blame."
Imperial Physician Liu's expression changed: Guilty?
"You just stay here, you are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission, take good care of the prince." After finishing speaking, Doctor Sun threw away in a dashing manner.
Imperial Physician Liu is a descendant of Tanglin's famous medical family.
It was precisely because of his talent and intelligence that he asked Dr. Sun to accept him as a student.
"Teacher, what you just said ......"
Liu Shenghan lifted the hem of his clothes, chased after him quickly, and asked.
It's a pity that before he could finish his words, Imperial Physician Sun interrupted him: "What are you doing so much about the harem?" There are a lot of things in this, you are my proud protΓ©gΓ©, don't you remember what was the first lesson I gave you when I took you as an apprentice? β
Liu Shenghan was slightly stunned, and finally lowered his head, "A person who is a doctor can hear and see unspeakable." β
Imperial Physician Sun nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that you still remember." β
After saying this, his wrinkled face turned cold again, "Come on, take care of Imperial Doctor Liu, unless I allow it, you must not let him out."
As soon as Imperial Physician Sun finished giving the order, he saw the two guards guarding the palace gate standing upright, "Yes!" β
Liu Shenghan froze in place and frowned deeply.
He slowly raised his eyes to look at the sky, and at the end of the day, the sun was gone, and the sky was overcast.
There seemed to be clouds gathering in the west, as if the sky was about to fall.
"It's going to change the sky!" Liu Shenghan said in a tired voice.
He suddenly thought of the girl in Tianjiaoli, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's rare to meet this kind of medical genius in his lifetime, is it really true that he wants to be jealous of the talent?
On the other side, Chu Xuewei was mercilessly thrown into the deepest part of the prison.
When she was carried in, the people in the cell were pointing fingers.
Aside from the man from more than a decade ago, this is the first time anyone has been put in the deepest cell.
Everyone here knows that only those who are to be executed will be sent to the deepest cells.
It's just that after those prisoners saw Chu Xuewei, the surprise in their eyes became even stronger.
What kind of heinous crime did a girl who seemed helpless to be sent here?
Chu Xuewei fell asleep for a long time, and only woke up when she knew that the fish belly white appeared the next day.
"Hmm......" The dull pain in her left shoulder made her eyes squint uncomfortably.
She straightened up in a daze, only to realize that she had been thrown into the prison.
At this time, she was lying on the edge of a haystack, and lay down all night.
She stood up, moved her weak legs and arms, and finally sat down despite the pain.
She suddenly remembered the emperor's eyes on her yesterday, and couldn't help but be a little afraid, after all, the emperor at that time really wanted to kill herself!
It's just that Chu Xuewei's biggest doubt is: How could the prince, who was obviously fine yesterday, suddenly get black spot disease, and vomit blood, facing the danger of his life.
There must be something wrong with this.
However, she had no access to the prince now, let alone consulted him, so she couldn't tell what the reason was.
Chu Xuewei has always been optimistic and cheerful, but this time she was involved in the incident in the palace, and suddenly found that her little head was a little insufficient......
So, she tried to walk up to the iron railing that was blocking her, "Ask anyone?" Is there anyone here? β
After a period of silence, Chu Xuewei only got a response from herself.
The cell where she was being held was in the deepest part of the heavenly prison, and besides, she was still underground here, so people outside couldn't hear Chu Xuewei's words at all.
Chu Xuewei was still not discouraged, she picked up a small piece of gravel in the cell, and kept hitting the railing, making a piercing sound in the silence.
"Is there anyone? Sort me out. β
In the end, just when Chu Xuewei almost knocked her hand numb, the soldier guarding at the upper exit couldn't bear it, and came over to remind her with a cold face: "Ninth Princess, you better save your effort, there is no one here." β
Chu Xuewei finally saw someone, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, "What?" You're not human? β
The guard didn't expect her to laugh out loud, the psychological quality of these nine princesses is really not ordinarily good!
And, was she just having fun with herself?
The guard looked stunned, turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Chu Xuewei kept again and again, "Eh! Don't go, little brother, can I ask you about something? β
The guard was perhaps impressed by her lack of heart, so he turned around and told her the truth: "Ninth Princess, do you want to know where you are now?" β
Chu Xuewei was slightly stunned, then nodded, "I naturally know that the heavenly prison generally has no return." β
When the guard heard this, he was even more surprised, "You know all this? β
Chu Xuewei bowed, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she took off the silver bracelet on her wrist, "Little brother, I'm not difficult for you, you just need to answer me a few questions." β
The guard was a little embarrassed, but he seemed to suddenly remember Liu Shenghan's words yesterday, "Ninth Princess, we don't want anything, just ask whatever you want." β
Chu Xuewei smiled lightly, "You were guarding in Qiyue Palace before, do you know who has been in contact with the prince alone?" β
The guard frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "Except for the Queen Mother, there is no one else." β
"Is there only the Queen Mother?" Chu Xuewei frowned slightly, isn't the Queen Mother the prince's grandmother?
Besides, her concern for the prince is not fake.
But there's no problem with the medicine I gave to the prince, what's wrong?
Seeing Chu Xuewei thinking silently, the guard walked towards the door with a knowing face.
But before he could take a few steps, he suddenly heard a small sound of footsteps.
"Meet the Queen Mother, Concubine Niangniang."
The sound outside made Chu Xuewei prick up her ears.
She raised her eyes to look outside, only to see that the night concubine was holding the queen mother and walking in her direction.
Now, as soon as the Queen Mother saw Chu Xuewei, it was as if she had seen some enemy who had raided her family, her eyes were scarlet, and she hated to swallow her alive.
Then, several eunuchs walked out behind the Queen Mother, and they opened the cell door with a lock and arrested Chu Xuewei in one fell swoop.
Chu Xuewei was caught stumbling, she was pushed and walked a few steps, and was directly pushed to the next room.
The Queen Mother sat there upright, the light and shadow of the candles swaying, casting a terrifying shadow on her face.
At this time, the Queen Mother's eyes were bloodshot, and her eyes were full of hatred because of the pain of losing her beloved grandson.
As soon as she saw Chu Xuewei, her whole body was on the verge of exploding, "Tie up this little's hooves for me!" β
Immediately after that, without waiting for Chu Xuewei to argue, the whole person was directly hanged.
Her hands and feet were fixed to the wooden frame, and she couldn't move at all.
"Bang" sound.
The Queen Mother knocked on the table, then trembled, she pointed at Chu Xuewei and said, "Chu Xuewei, you are really bold, my Yi'er was almost killed by you!" That's the prince of Tanglin, do you think you'll be safe for the time being if you stay in the prison? I warn you, I will leave you without good fruit to eat here! β
Chu Xuewei's hands and feet were tied extremely tightly, and the weight of her whole body was concentrated on her hands and feet, and she lost her strength after a while.
But even so, Chu Xuewei was still the same as before, and smiled: "What do you say, what do you say, you drove me away at the beginning, and then asked Ye Guifei to invite me back, so if something happens to the prince, are you also responsible?" Because, do you believe the wrong person? β
"You!" The Queen Mother was speechless by Chu Xuewei's words,
She crossed her eyebrows, extremely angry, and happened to see the finger stick hanging on the wall, and a hint of playfulness crossed her eyes.
She said without smiling: "Chu Xuewei, don't you think you are a human doctor?" Then I'll scrap your finger today and see how you practice!" β
Chu Xuewei's eyes changed suddenly, especially after seeing the little eunuchs beside the Queen Mother take off the finger sticks, she swallowed nervously.
She was a healer, and the only thing she couldn't afford to lose was her own hands.
And the finger stick could easily ask for her hand, and when she saw the spikes on it, Chu Xuewei's whole person was not good.
If your finger is caught by this thing, the fracture is certain, and then it will be equivalent to a waste of your hand.
If Chu Xuewei hadn't been tied up now, she would definitely tremble.
I thought she wasn't afraid of anything, but when something really happened, she was still afraid.
Especially after being reborn, she cherishes life more than anyone else.
I also cherish my hands more than anyone else.
In case Chu Xuewei struggled, several little eunuchs had a clear division of labor to contain Chu Xuewei.
When her fingers were forcefully stuffed into the clip, Chu Xuewei subconsciously retracted her hand.
She couldn't help but be afraid!
Is there anyone who can come to her rescue?
What about Feng Jingyu? Why hasn't he shown up yet?
Chu Xuewei bit her lower lip tightly, and there were already dots of blood oozing out there, but she didn't notice it.
Seeing Chu Xuewei's frightened appearance, her heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge, and she snorted coldly, "Isn't your mouth very talking?" Now let me tell you that you only have a mouth and are nothing! β
Chu Xuewei forcibly suppressed her trembling body, "Queen Mother, now that the prince's life and death are uncertain, I know you don't trust me, but what I must say is that I am willing to exchange my life for a chance to take the pulse of the prince." β
The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, she couldn't have imagined that at such a time, Chu Xuewei would dare to negotiate conditions with herself.
"If you could cure the prince, you would have cured it a long time ago, so why wait until now? Don't struggle, Chu Xuewei. β
Chu Xuewei pursed her lips, "Then what if I'm willing to sign a life and death certificate?" β
The Queen Mother was shocked by her Queen Mother, and then looked at her hesitantly.
At this moment, Ye Guifei, who had been watching the excitement, suddenly spoke: "Queen Mother, even if we didn't see Chu Xuewei take both hands for Xiao Nianyun with our own eyes, at least some people rumored to have seen it." Now the prince has a plague, which is an incurable disease. But the Ninth Princess is willing to give it a try, so why don't we give her a chance? β
Speaking of this, Ye Guifei suddenly lowered her voice, "What's more, if we provoke the Seventh Prince......"
"Shut up!" When the Queen Mother heard her words, all the hesitation just now turned into ashes.
Who doesn't know, she and Xi Huanxiang have never dealt with each other.
Now the Seventh Prince, Feng Jingyu, is already powerful, and even crushes their royal family, and the Queen Mother already has a bad heart.
But now, although the night concubine sounds like she is pleading for Chu Xuewei, when it comes to the latter words, it doesn't mean that, not to mention that the words also sprinkled a handful of salt on the queen mother's sadness.
At this moment, the queen mother's angry muscles burst out, she suddenly got up, and roared with a hideous face: "Immediately execute it for the mourning family!" The mourning family wants to take a look, what can these seven princes do to be disrespectful to the mourning family! β
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, the little eunuchs instantly became ruthless and tightened their fingers.
When the spikes seeped into Chu Xuewei's fingers little by little, her entire face turned white, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Hmm-"
Just when these little eunuchs were about to execute again, there was a sudden chaotic sound of footsteps in the prison, "Queen Mother, something is wrong!" β
The Queen Mother was worried about the prince's affairs at this time.
As soon as she heard someone shouting like this, she immediately turned her head and turned pale.
The person who came was a playboy who had been following him.
I saw the playboy trotting all the way, and then knelt on the ground with a thud, and shouted in pain: "The queen mother, the prince, he, it's gone!"
"What did you say?"
Hearing the news, the Queen Mother suddenly felt like she had no soul, and the whole person fell backwards.
The few little eunuchs who were originally punishing Chu Xuewei immediately ran forward to support the Queen Mother.
The queen turned pale, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she stared at the dude dancion, "What did you just say?" β
The playboy cried bitterly, "Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has died!" β
"Wing!" The Queen Mother rolled her eyes in an instant and fell straight back.
Seeing this, the night concubine who was standing on the side commanded sharply, "Don't be stunned, go and call the imperial doctor and carry the queen mother out!" β
So a bunch of people were busy carrying the Queen Mother, and before the night concubine left, she specially instructed the guards at the door to keep an eye on Chu Xuewei and put her back in the cell.
At this time, Chu Xuewei was tied there, and she couldn't even feel the pain on her fingers.
What did the playboy say just now?
The prince is gone?
Feng Tianyi is gone?
Impossible!
If Feng Tianyi died of flower willow disease, Chu Xuewei would definitely not be as surprised as she is now. Because everything is done by himself, and he should also bear the consequences.
But so much happened overnight, he suddenly changed from flower willow disease to black spot disease, and now he is still dead, how can it be okay?
Chu Xuewei looked at her hands that were slowly bleeding, she tried to move, only to find that the thorns of the finger clamp stick had only penetrated her epidermis, and had not hurt the bones.
She stood up and looked at the exit of the prison: she must not wait inside like this!
Chu Xuewei immediately took out some gauze and ointment in the system space and briefly treated her wounds.
The blood beads on those small wounds quickly coagulated, so Chu Xuewei's actions would not be greatly affected.
At the moment, she was in the depths of the prison, and she didn't know what was going on outside.
But one thing she knows for sure: black spot is particularly contagious.
When she was reading the book, she knew that there had been a black spot patient in Tanglin more than ten years ago.
At that time, the treatment of the patient was to burn all his belongings, even his residence.
Finally, in order to prevent the spread of the plague, the bodies of the deceased were also directly incinerated.
And all of this was done very quickly.
The patient died in the afternoon and was incinerated that night.
"But Feng Tianyi is the prince of Tanglin after all, even if he has black spot disease, it is impossible to burn him quickly, right?"
Now that it's dark outside, it is estimated that the prince's affairs will be dealt with early tomorrow morning.
So, she only had one night.
Chu Xuewei lay quietly on the edge of the haystack, thinking with her eyes closed.
At this time, the prison was silent, but the palace was not like this.
In the Taiji Palace, after the emperor heard the bad news, the whole person was depressed, as if he had aged a lot overnight.
And the queen mother fainted directly because of her grandson's death, and she was lying on the bed at the moment, with only Ye Guifei, a fairly awake person, by the emperor's side.
Imperial Physician Sun was kneeling down worriedly at the moment, "Your Majesty, the noble concubine, people cannot be resurrected after death, the prince has already gone, and he still wants to mourn." β
Concubine Ye's eyes were red and she tried to wipe her tears, she looked at the emperor in fear, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Sun is right. The concubine knows that you like the crown prince, and she can't accept this fact for a while, but it has happened, if you don't adjust yourself and don't make plans, what if this plague keeps spreading? β
The emperor's eyes darkened a little.
Tanglin Xihan has just ended the war, and if the news of the prince's violent death spreads at this moment, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The prince of Tanglin, the competition for the crown prince in the court will be a bloody storm.
At that time, the DPRK was in turmoil, and if the West and South Korea united with other countries to attack Tanglin, then Donglin would probably face a big trouble.
In a strange silence, Concubine Ye and Imperial Physician Sun were waiting for the emperor to speak.
In the end, the emperor sighed leisurely and said, "Pass the order, this matter is not allowed to be publicized." Tonight, the prince's body was laid down and sent to the imperial tomb. β
The night concubine responded, "Yes." β
It's just that she has just spoken, and Imperial Doctor Sun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has an opinion, because the prince is suffering from black spot disease, which is a very contagious disease, so the minister proposes to seal the coffin with mercury tomorrow."
"What did you say?" The emperor's face turned cold all of a sudden.
Those cold eyes were full of gloom.
Only then did Imperial Physician Sun say: "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is honorable, it is too indecent to burn, and the mercury sealed coffin can not only preserve the entire body of the prince, but also prevent the spread of the epidemic."
The Emperor pondered for a moment, and was about to speak when he heard a voice outside.
It's when he's upset, and it's going to be messy again, "What's going on out there?" β
After a while, Gonggong Li hurriedly ran in from outside, "Report to the emperor, the queen mother ran out of the West Palace, if you have to see the prince for the last time, our family can't stop it!" β
When the emperor heard this, the chill on his body became even stronger, and he said in a terrible way: "Pull her back and lock her up."
But at this time, the night concubine on the side hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty, the queen is the prince's mother-in-law after all, and it is normal to want to see her son, Your Majesty, don't be angry, it is better to let the concubine try to persuade her, maybe my sister can listen to it?" β
The emperor waved his hand without hesitation, "Go quickly, go quickly." β
Concubine Ye nodded and walked out respectfully.
At the moment before she stepped out of the door, she heard the emperor say to Imperial Physician Sun: "The matter of sealing the coffin with mercury will be handed over to you."
The corners of the night concubine's mouth hooked, her eyes smiled, and she walked out with cat steps.
As soon as she turned the corridor, she heard the queen's hysterical cry from the gate, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty - just let me see Yi'er! Concubine, please ......"
The queen was stopped at the door, crying and kneeling and kowtowing.
From the prince's illness to his death, she stayed in the cold palace and had no chance to see the prince at all.
This time, before the crown prince was sent to the imperial tomb, if she couldn't see her child again, she would never have a chance again.
Because of the hard knock, the queen's forehead was red and swollen, and a blood mark ran down her cheek.
The queen kowtowed dizzily for a while, and she didn't stop until a pair of pink embroidered shoes appeared in front of her eyes.
The queen raised her head in surprise, and through the blood in front of her, she saw the night concubine standing in front of her coldly.
"Sister, what are you doing here?" There was a hint of disdain in the unique voice of the night concubine.
Only then did the queen see who was standing in front of her, and she grabbed Ye Guifei, "Sister, you came just in time, you can take me to see the emperor quickly, and tell him for me to let me see Yi'er!" Go, I beg you......"
The night concubine was pushed and shook by the queen, and her brows wrinkled a little impatiently.
She raised her hand and pushed the queen to the ground.
The queen, who was unexpectedly pushed, turned her head in surprise, she stared at the night concubine, she didn't expect her to dare to treat herself like this, "You? β
Ye Guifei sneered, "I call your sister because of the love of the past, but don't be delusional." Look at yourself now, everyone knows about your affairs, do you think you are still the queen who used to be high? β
The queen's mouth opened wide in surprise, but now was not the time to deal with the night concubine, she wanted to see Yi'er.
Her sons are dead, she has no thoughts, as long as she can see Shangyi'er, she has no regrets even if she dies.
"Sister, even if my sister begs you, now you stay with the emperor, the emperor will definitely be able to listen to your words, we are also mothers, can you be considerate of my sister?" The queen pleaded with a low voice.
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned the child.
But if it weren't for the crown prince, how could her son be sent to a remote place to be a little prince?
"Sister, is this how you beg for help?" The night concubine glanced coldly at her feet.
The queen was slightly stunned, and instantly understood what she meant.
The queen, who was so arrogant in the past, trembled all over at this time, she gritted her teeth and knelt down, "Please, sister......"
Concubine Ye looked at the queen kneeling beside her, raised her eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect it, my sister will be like this one day."
The queen raised her head humbly, "Kneel and kneel, now you should let me see my son, right?" β
When the night concubine heard this, she laughed uncontrollably.
She reached out and pretended to wipe away her non-existent tears, and then picked up the queen's jaw, "You dream! You never want to see your son again in this life, and I also want you to know what is the pain of mother and son not being able to see each other! β
After finishing speaking, the night concubine turned around fiercely and walked towards the Taiji Palace.
It's just that she didn't take a few steps, and as if she remembered something, she turned around.
With a smile on her face, Concubine Ye said to the queen: "I forgot to tell my sister that the prince will be in the coffin tonight, and the coffin will be sealed with mercury tomorrow morning." It's a pity that the person who heard that the mercury sealed the coffin will never be able to live forever! β
The queen's brain went blank for a moment, and she wanted to rush up and hit the woman like crazy, but was intercepted by the guards on both sides.
"I, I curse you! You don't have to die well! β
On the other side, since the dew drops sent Chu Xuewei away, they have been waiting in the next room.
But she waited until it was dark and didn't see Chu Xuewei come out, so she couldn't help but be anxious.
She tried to enter the palace several times, but was stopped by the guards.
If it weren't for Chu Xuewei instructing her, she would definitely use her fists to make a way into the palace regardless of it.
But now her identity is Chu Xuewei's maid, and if she commits a crime, she will be affected by the Ninth Princess in the end.
So, the dew had no choice but to stop.
"I don't know if you've heard of it, but all the people in the Qiyue Palace have been driven away."
A little palace maid who had just come out of the harem couldn't wait to share this information.
The other palace maids and eunuchs immediately pricked up their ears, "Why? Could it be that something happened to the prince? β
The little palace maid shook her head suspiciously, "I don't know the specifics, but I saw that the grandmother of Qiyue Palace threw out the prince's things and burned them." β
"Burned?" When they heard this information, they were all surprised.
Anyone with a little experience will know that burning clothes is a very unlucky thing, especially for living people.
Only the dead burn their clothes.
"My mom! Do you think it's going to be the crown prince......
"Eh, eh! Don't say it, this thing is going to lose its head if it doesn't say it well! β
A group of them were chatting energetically, when they heard a loud noise coming from the door.
When they looked back, they could only see a pale blue figure hurrying out, and the sound she had made was the one she had made.
Dew Zhu came to Xuanwumen in a panic, and it was already dark at this time, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do it.
The princess is here to treat the prince, if the prince has any three strengths and two shortcomings, the princess will definitely not be able to escape the fight!
"Who?" As soon as the guards at the door saw Dew Drop standing there angrily, they raised their long swords in their hands.
Lu Zhu's whole body is now full of anger, where do you still remember Chu Xuewei's instructions, "I am the person of the Ninth Princess, I want to go in to see her, get out of the way of me!" β
But those guards don't eat soft rice.
"This is the emperor's order, no one is allowed to enter."
"I said get out of the way!" As soon as Dewdrop's temper came up, no one cared, she directly raised her fist and rushed in.
Those guards were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that the little woman who looked so thin had such strength!
Knock these guards to the ground.
Seeing that Dew Drop was about to break into disaster, a dark shadow suddenly ran out and grabbed Dewdrop's wrist.
"Let me go!" Dew Drop shouted angrily, and raised his hand to hit it.
The black shadow directly withdrew a few steps, and the strength of this palm was not small.
This person is Feng Qin, the guard next to the prince.
He held on to the sharp pain in his left arm, bared his teeth and said, "Don't be so impulsive, you will only cause chaos to the Nine Princesses by doing this!"
As soon as he heard him mention Chu Xuewei, Dew Drop instantly let go of her hand.
"What the hell is going on?" Dew Drop eagerly grabbed Feng Qin's hands.
Suddenly grabbed by a little woman's hands, Feng Qin was slightly stunned, and then immediately took back his hand, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Ninth Princess is now imprisoned in the prison, it is impossible for you to rescue her alone, if you really want to save her, go and tell the Seventh Prince, let him save people." β
Receiving so much information at once, Dewdrop's jaw dropped in surprise.
"The prince is gone?" Dewdrop's face was incredulous.
She frowned and pursed her lips, "I owe you this time." β
After speaking, she turned to leave.
Feng Qin, who was behind him, suddenly spoke: "Outside the Xuanwu Gate, there is a good horse, which I prepared."
Dewdrop nodded and walked out quickly.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the two people guarding the door of Chu Xuewei's cell woke up.
"It's been all night, I'll go in and see how the people are doing?"
One of the guards sat up, yawning and walking deeper into the prison.
Unexpectedly, as his steps approached, he smelled a strange smell.
It's like something has been burned.
Burnt taste?
The man was frightened, and walked with the wind under his feet.
However, when he entered the cell, he found that a raging fire was burning in the ward where Chu Xuewei was, and the strong smell of smoke penetrated from inside.
The fire spread all the way to the iron bars, and it looked very fierce and terrifying.
"It's a big deal!" The guard shouted in a panic, then rushed out and pulled another person in, "Come with me and see, it's on fire inside!" β
When the two of them rushed to the cell with the smoke in the air, Chu Xuewei couldn't be seen at all.
"Open the door! If something really happened to the Nine Princesses here, we wouldn't be able to escape! β
After a flurry of words, the door to the cell was opened.
However, there was nothing but fire in it, not to mention people.
"No one?"
In the end, the two did not resist the burning of the fire and chose to retreat.
But as soon as they came out of it, they saw a figure passing through the door of the prison.
Take a closer look, isn't that person Chu Xuewei?
"Come on, the Nine Princesses have escaped from prison! Catch her! β
The two guards yelled angrily and chased after them.
"I'll go!" Chu Xuewei quickly flapped her legs upside down and scolded in a low voice.
She had just used a trick to hide herself in the system's space and then escape from it when they opened the cell.
But she never thought that those two guards would be smoked out by the monstrous fire.
"Catch up with her!"
Behind him came the hysterical shouts of the guards.
Now the people who are locked up in the cell are not ordinary prisoners at all, but suspects in the murder of the crown prince.
If the emperor really investigates, even if they have ten heads, they won't be enough to be cut off!
Their shouts soon attracted the attention of the guards in front.
They had long knives in their hands, and they all rushed to the prison.
The current Chu Xuewei can be said to be attacked from both sides, with those who intercepted her in front and those who kept chasing her behind.
Such a scene attracted the attention of those prisoners in the prison, who came to the railing excitedly and cheered Chu Xuewei one after another, "Little girl, come on, run!" β
Chu Xuewei had a cold sweat on her face, but she didn't dare to slow down the pace under her feet.
Beneath her long sleeves, her fists clenched tightly, and she ran towards the guards.
"Don't run!"
Just when the long knife was about to stab at herself, Chu Xuewei suddenly flicked her sleeve.
The guards were unprepared for a moment, and suddenly took in a few puffs of powder.
Chu Xuewei rushed forward without hesitation and ran past them.
The guards just wanted to continue chasing, but they all collapsed on the ground at once, their eyes black.
Inside the prison, there was any sound in an instant.
When the woman was brought in last night, they were still wondering what it was.
Now I can see that this girl is not an ordinary person at all.
"Damn, chase after it!"
A few guards who hurried behind reluctantly continued to chase.
They are professionally trained guards, and they can also do martial arts, so their natural physical strength is much better than Chu Xuewei.
Just as Chu Xuewei ran to the door, the two guards suddenly accelerated and leaped over.
Just as they were about to catch Chu Xuewei, someone suddenly threw two stones in an unknown corner next to them.
There were only two muffled sounds, and the two guards fell to the ground with a convulsion.
"Who is it?"
The two guards got up and lashed out at the cell behind them.
Those who were in prison were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
Even if there are not many people locked up inside, it is definitely not a few.
For a moment, they couldn't tell who was secretly doing the bad.
After scolding a few words, the two chased after each other again, but by the time they ran out of the prison, Chu Xuewei had already disappeared.
"We're going to chase her on two sides, and we're going to catch her."
When they had gone, there was a noise in the bushes next to the prison.
Chu Xuewei probed her brain out and patted the bush leaves on her head.
She was relieved.
Now it is rumored that the prince died violently, but she must meet the prince before he enters the coffin.
The prince can't be unclear, and he can't just be a backbiter.
If he can't prove that there is a problem with the prince's death, even if Feng Jingyu comes, he can't afford to be charged with murdering the East Palace.
Her immediate priority now is to infiltrate the Qiyue Palace.
The dress she wore had to be changed out before she could go inside.
Chu Xuewei thought about it for a while, and followed the path directly into the Huanyi Bureau behind the prison.
The backyard of the Raccoon Clothes Bureau is very large, and there are a lot of clothes hanging in it, as well as mattresses and other things.
Chu Xuewei saw a dark blue coarse cloth coat and hurriedly dragged it down while no one was there.
After she finished changing her clothes, there was a noise in front, "A few of you here will go to Qiyue Palace to clean up, all the things that should be burned have been burned, and none of them will be left, do you understand?" β
As soon as she heard the words "Qiyue Palace", Chu Xuewei instantly pricked up her ears.
She lowered her hand and wiped a handful of ash on the ground and wiped it into her face.
In an instant, the handsome face that captivated the country and the city became dull and inconspicuous.
She was just about to lift the futon in front of her, when she heard Gonggong Li say unhappily: "The people in the other bureaus have been sent to the imperial tomb to prepare, only you are still a few idlers in the Huanyi Bureau, what are you unwilling to do at this time?"
Chu Xuewei took advantage of the situation to lift the futon and walked over with an innocent face.
Gonggong Li turned his head sideways and saw that this person's face was black, and he looked like a tiger, and he was angry.
He casually called five people, and finally ordered Chu Xuewei, "A few of you, come with me." β
Chu Xuewei looked at the other worried people with a worried expression, and then followed Gonggong Li with a panicked face.
Chu Xuewei walked at the back, and talked to the people around her: "What's wrong?"
A little palace maid glanced at her, "Are you new here?" If so, don't ask so much, just be yourself, and be careful of losing your head! β
She said these words impatiently, and then turned back to ignore her.
Chu Xuewei pretended to be surprised, but her mind was already racing.
Just now Gonggong Li said that most of the people have been sent to the imperial tomb to prepare, and it seems that the prince is going to be sent there.
And since people are still employed here, it means that the prince should not have been sent away yet!
It's great, she's going to make the most of it.
Chu Xuewei stepped up her pace and followed closely at the end of the line.
When he arrived at Qiyue Palace, Gonggong Li took out his waist card and led a group of people in.
Chu Xuewei slowly followed at the end of the team, and a group of people immediately came to the backyard.
There is a huge hollow in the backyard with many bedding burning inside.
Gonggong Li turned his head to a few people and said, "A few of you are responsible for throwing these things in, controlling the heat, and burning these things as soon as possible."
Several people nodded hurriedly, and then quickly moved.
Gonggong Li was guarding on the side, for fear that they would see the money and take out something they shouldn't have brought out.
Under the surveillance of Gonggong Li, it was impossible for Chu Xuewei to sneak into the dormitory.
While she was silently thinking, a group of people came to the door.
Everyone looked sideways, and Chu Xuewei was also slightly stunned, and instinctively hid behind the crowd.
After Gonggong Li saw the visitor, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Doctor Sun, why are you here?" β
Imperial Physician Sun brought a few senior old female doctors over, followed by Liu Shenghan, who frowned.
He owed a debt to Gonggong Li, and then set his eyes on the group of palace maids and eunuchs.
Chu Xuewei pressed her head lower.
But it was this action that attracted the attention of Imperial Physician Sun.
He pointed his finger and said to Chu Xuewei, "You ......"
Chu Xuewei was shocked, but her face remained the same, and she slowly raised her head.
"Come here."
Doctor Sun made a straight face and ordered in a deep voice.
Chu Xuewei slowly stepped forward and looked at Imperial Doctor Sun in fear.
But his subordinates have already prepared poison powder in case of emergency.
"The prince needs to change his body, you come with me!" After Imperial Physician Sun said this, the eunuch and palace maid next to him immediately showed pity and fear on her face.
Although everyone didn't say anything about the death of the prince, they all had a guess in their hearts.
Now let that little eunuch go and change his clothes, what else can it be?
It's nothing more than a shroud.
The prince must have had some kind of infectious disease to die, otherwise how could he burn things with such fanfare?
The little eunuch looked stunned, not knowing if he could come back.
However, everyone was limited to sympathy, and they were all relieved in their hearts, fortunately they didn't go to change the prince's clothes themselves, so that they wouldn't be infected.
But what everyone didn't know was that Imperial Physician Sun's move was exactly in line with Chu Xuewei's thoughts.
She was thinking about how to get mixed up with the prince's side, Imperial Doctor Sun is really a god assist!
Isn't this the chance God gave himself?
She was very happy in her heart, but Chu Xuewei still pretended to be frightened, she walked to Imperial Doctor Sun tremblingly, and looked at Gonggong Li pitifully.
Gonggong Li was a little embarrassed by her eyes, and then said sharply: "It's your blessing to change His Royal Highness the Prince's clothes, why are you still stunned?"
Chu Xuewei followed aggrievedly.
Along the way, the Qiyue Palace did not have any vitality at all, but there was a sad aura hovering above the Qiyue Palace.
When they came to the outside of the dormitory, Imperial Physician Sun stopped, looked at Chu Xuewei, and paused in the plate in her hand, "Give you a cup of tea, come out after changing the prince's clothes, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't run around, otherwise your head will fall off." β
Chu Xuewei immediately bowed, lowered her voice and said, "Understood."
"Let's go inside." Doctor Sun raised his hand and pushed the door open.
Chu Xuewei was slightly stunned, she could feel a chill emanating from the inside of the dormitory.
The windows of the dormitory were sealed and the curtains were drawn.
There were only a few small candles illuminating it.
At that time, the shadow of the candle that flickered from time to time added a touch of weirdness to the whole dormitory, making people's hairs stand on end.
Chu Xuewei is a healer, yes, she has seen scenes of death, but this is the first time she has seen this kind of eerie and terrifying scene, and she is inevitably a little scared.
"What are you doing, why aren't you going in?" Imperial Physician Sun looked at her suspiciously.
"Enter!" Chu Xuewei gritted her teeth and stepped in with her legs raised.
She had barely taken two steps before the door behind her was suddenly shut, and her weak body trembled slightly.
The little black face finally showed a hint of fear, and she clasped her hands together, "My Buddha is merciful!" Your Royal Highness the Prince, you must know that your death is none of my business! I have come to find out about this matter, to find out for you the person who murdered you, forgive me. β
She bowed nervously, then took a deep breath and calmed down all of a sudden.
Her eyes were determined as she walked towards the prince's bed.
The prince lay there quietly, covered with a thin and precious quilt.
But when Chu Xuewei approached him, not only was she not afraid, but became more and more calm, why is this?
When she came to the prince's bed, she found that the prince's face was blue and his eyes were closed.
As a healer, she first probed the prince's snort, and then slowly took his pulse, and found that he did not have any signs of life, like a dead man.
But after taking a closer look, Chu Xuewei felt very strange again......
There are indeed dark spots extending on the prince's body, but a day and a night have passed, why hasn't the prince's body stiffened?
Even if there is no temperature, after death, there will be a corpse stiffness.
Because of this doubt, Chu Xuewei immediately caught his pulse and activated his universal system.
However, the universal system gives very little information available.
The universal system is originally intended for the living, and a person like the prince, who has no pulse and breathing, will not be able to obtain any useful information at all.
However, the universal system gives a message, that is, there is no contagious virus in the prince's body!
"Not contagious?"
This information shocked Chu Xuewei's delicate body.
If the prince really got black spot disease, even if he died, there would be a remnant of the virus.
That's why the body of a person with black spot is burned when he dies.
How so?
Chu Xuewei's mind was an unsolvable mystery, and she kept looking at the prince.
Doctor Sun confirmed that the prince had black spot disease based on this black spot alone, but the symptom of black spot was not vomiting blood at all.
There's definitely something wrong here, but what's the problem?
Just when Chu Xuewei was concentrating on thinking, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.
She hurriedly looked back and found that Imperial Physician Sun was walking in impatiently.
As soon as he saw that the prince's clothes had not been changed, he was angry: "Let you change the prince's clothes, how did you grind?"
Chu Xuewei's brain was running rapidly, and then she pretended to be trembling, "Slave slave, slave harm...... Afraid. β
Imperial Physician Sun immediately shouted: "Stupid slave is quick with his hands and feet, if you don't finish changing, be careful that I will let you be in a different place!"
"Got it!" Chu Xuewei pretended to be scared and turned around, trembling to change the prince's clothes.
But the more frightened she was, the slower her movements became, and the Imperial Physician Sun on the side paced back and forth in a panic.
He kept urging Chu Xuewei, and turned his head to find that Chu Xuewei had only wrapped the prince in a profane garment for so long, and he was instantly furious.
He stepped forward quickly and directly pushed Chu Xuewei away.
He lifted his arm and put the shroud on the prince's body, looking without the slightest taboo and fear, but very urgent.
As he moved his hand, he scolded Chu Xuewei, "Stupid minion, if this delays time, see how I punish you!" β
A row of cold sweat oozed from Chu Xuewei's forehead, and she hurriedly helped get dressed.
After the prince's shroud was put on, before she could tidy it up, Imperial Doctor Sun couldn't wait to shout outside: "Someone!"
