In the dim and damp cell, the candle flame flickered, casting shadowy black shadows on the wall, like ghosts with teeth and claws, and like living souls struggling in the mire and unable to extricate themselves.

Su Zhan walked through the cell under the leadership of Chu Lingzhao, occasionally a cold wind blew, bringing a smell of rot on his face, Su Zhan pulled his sleeve to cover his lips and nose, and followed closely behind Chu Lingzhao, but he didn't dare to hug Chu Lingzhao's legs.

After a few rounds, and finally reached the destination, the jailer put down the lantern and removed a heavy string of keys from his waist.

This cell is different from other places in that it is not surrounded by iron bars, but by a solid stone wall, with only a small door for one person to pass through.

The jailer pushed open the cell door, the cell door creaked and made a dull sound, Su Zhan stood close to Chu Lingzhao's legs, and through the gap he vaguely saw a hideous huge and abnormal black shadow on the wall, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ahh

Su Zhan shouted and subconsciously turned around and ran, and just ran two steps, he was grabbed by Chu Lingzhao by the back collar and picked up and hugged into his arms.

This is the embrace of the Ninety-Five Emperor, even the newly born little prince has not yet enjoyed this honor, but Su Zhan didn't feel flattered at all, and only hugged Chu Lingzhao's neck tightly: "There are monsters!" ”

He whispered, his eyes wide open, and he was afraid to see something terrifying for a moment, and buried his head in Chu Lingzhao's neck.

Chu Lingzhao gently patted him on the back: "There are no monsters." After speaking, he walked in with Su Zhan in his arms.

There are indeed no monsters in the cell, Hu He was tied to a cross-shaped stake with iron chains, Gao Dahai is helping him deal with his wounds, in view of his ferocious performance on the school field, no one dares to put him down, so the wounds are more troublesome to deal with than Lu Ji's, and some small injuries in some places cannot be treated at all.

Hu He's injuries were no lighter than Lu Ji's, Lu Ji's injuries were all wounds and bloody, and his injuries were all internal injuries, mainly because Lu Ji was bare-handed to him most of the time on the field, without blood, but it was not good.

When Gao Dahai examined his chest, he found that his sternum and ribs were broken to varying degrees, and he could only fix them with a wooden board and then find a way to reduce them, but during this period, his chest would be very painful when he breathed.

Hu He was the same as Lu Ji, as if he didn't feel pain, and he didn't even frown.

Since entering the prison, Hu He has been hanging his head and not saying a word, even if Gao Dahai is babbling some useless nonsense, he has not reacted at all.

When Chu Lingzhao came in with Su Zhan in his arms, he heard Su Zhan's exclamation, and his eyes moved slightly, but ...... And that's all.

He had already seen this kid in the school yard just now, and he didn't need to look at it anymore.

"How's the case going?"

Chu Lingzhao asked softly, put Su Zhan down, Su Zhan recognized Hu He as the person who fought with Lu Ji in the school field before, he was angry and scared, holding Chu Lingzhao's neck and refusing to let go, Chu Lingzhao wanted to pull him down, Su Zhan cried out: "Daddy lied to me!" I don't want to see him, he's not my uncle! Woowoo woo ......"

He's not my uncle!

This was just an unintentional fairy tongue when Su Zhan was afraid, but it was like a sharp knife stabbing into Hu He's heart, and it was also stirred up with Su Zhan's cry.

Su Zhan was still young, and he had never seen how much his mother and uncle looked forward to his birth and how much they loved him.

This is a normal thing.

He's still young, and he doesn't have to know how bizarre and tortuous his background is, it's not something he should be carrying.

With his brain running slowly, Hu He raised his head with great effort, lifted his eyes to look at Su Zhan through his messy hair, and said word by word in a hoarse voice: "Yes, I'm not your uncle!" Your dad is a big liar and a bastard! ”

"My dad is not a liar and a bastard! You are! ”

Su Zhan didn't think about it, turned his head and retorted loudly, his chubby little hands clenched into fists, and his tearful eyes widened and looked at Hu He.

This distance angle is completely different from the feeling of looking at it from a distance.

Hu He can see Su Zhan's appearance more clearly, he can see his stubborn little face and unyielding eyebrows, his temperament is exactly the same as Ah Li who was bullied by him and cried.

More and sharper words stuck in the throat, turning into invisible blades that slashed everything to pieces.

Hu He was speechless, and only looked at Su Zhan in a daze.

After Su Zhan finished refutating, the whole person froze, he saw Hu He's bloodshot eye, and even saw another empty eye socket.

His face, which was covered by his hair, was covered with hideous, twisted wounds, like a living monster, and now the monster was looking straight at him.

Su Zhan didn't dare to move, he forgot to cry, his little shoulders kept trembling, he was very scared, he missed his father very much.

Gao Dahai glanced at Chu Lingzhao hesitantly, and wrote a few big words on his chubby face: The situation is very bad!

"Come out with me!"

Chu Lingzhao ordered, knowing that he didn't want to say this in front of Su Zhan.

Hearing that Chu Lingzhao was leaving, Su Zhan immediately turned around and wanted to follow, but was restrained by Chu Lingzhao's cold eyes: "You stay!" ”

At this time, he is an emperor who is decisive in killing, even in the face of a five-year-old child, he will not have too much mercy.

Su Zhan pursed his mouth, tears piled up in the corners of his eyes, wanting to cry but not daring to cry.

Gao Dahai hurriedly walked out with the medicine box, rubbed his head when he passed by Su Zhan, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, he can't move now, you can beat him, kick him, scold him, and avenge your father!" After speaking, he clenched his fists and made a cheering gesture.

Su Zhan: "......"

You fat old man is so bad, I believe you are a ghost!

Su Zhan stared at Gao Dahai with tears in his eyes, watching them leave, and then the cell door creaked shut again.

All that was left of the room was a flickering candle flame and a tied monster.

Su Zhan stood in place and didn't move, lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Hu He anymore, I don't know how long he stood there, Su Zhan's legs were sore, he quietly lifted his eyes and glanced at Hu He, seeing that he was still staring at himself, he was afraid and annoyed, and insisted on standing for a while, he really couldn't hold it anymore, gritted his teeth, and ran to the side of the cell door and sat down close to the prison door.

Hu He's eyes turned to the prison door with his movement, his gaze was burning and his presence was extremely strong, Su Zhan was uncomfortable, and couldn't help but speak: "You...... You are not allowed to look at me! ”

He was very scared, and what he said did not have any confidence, and only made people laugh.

Hu He didn't smile, he used his gaze instead of his fingertips to trace Su Zhan's little face inch by inch, wanting to engrave all his appearance into his heart.

Such a gaze was actually not aggressive, although Su Zhan was afraid, he could also detect it, but he didn't want Hu He to see it, so he hugged his knee and buried his head in the crook of his leg.

He was already small, so he looked even smaller, and the little mass was huddled by the cell door, weak and helpless, and pitiful.

Hu He knew that Chu Lingzhao deliberately left Su Zhan here, and he also knew Chu Lingzhao's intentions, but seeing Su Zhan shrinking there, he still couldn't help but want to talk to Su Zhan.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was not a good word: "Hey, is your father going to die?" ”

"You're going to die!" Su Zhan really immediately raised his head and retorted, his red eyes widened hard, trying to make himself look imposing, after thinking about it, he said: "I don't call him, I have a name, my name is Su Zhan!" ”

After all, it is the nature of a child, and when he was provoked, he obediently reported his name.

Hu He's eyes flashed slightly, remembering that one day many years ago, the delicate and soft woman was wailing in front of the high bookshelf with her high bulging belly, it was so difficult to choose a name, he raised his hand and pointed at random, pointing to the word 'Zhan' calmly and unwaveringly: "Let's call Lu Zhan, like Ah Li, he has water, his temperament must be gentle, and Zhan has the meaning of cleanliness and purity, so that he can be clean and carefree all his life." ”

"Brother is amazing! I'm going to tell my husband that our child's name has been decided! ”

The woman cheered in adoration and jumped away, and he looked at her back and smiled helplessly.

In fact, that word was not a casual finger he inadvertently made, but a decision that took a long time to sift.

Unexpectedly, many years later, this name is still used today.

But there seems to be something wrong.

Hu He raised his eyes and looked at Su Zhan: "Your father's surname is Lu, why did you change your surname to Su?" ”

Su Zhan frowned, a little entangled, although his father said that this person was an uncle, he could answer whatever he asked, but should he tell him about this matter? What if he tells that Hu Ren Wang Shang to do something bad?

Su Zhan's hesitation was all seen by Hu He, he remembered the wooden sign that was thrown over the school field before, and the woman on the wooden card was called Su Li, who seemed to be Lu Ji's new love.

Thinking of this, he vaguely guessed what was happening.

"You took that woman's last name!" Hu He said firmly, his tone was very disdainful of Su Li.

Su Zhan's cheeks bulged out with anger, he stood up, he really couldn't hold back, and rushed to Hu He: "Why are you so annoying, hurting my father and cursing my father to death, and now you still look down on my mother, why are you?" My mother is a very nice person, you are not allowed to say that about her! ”

Su Zhan was so angry that he didn't breathe, and his hands were crossed on his waist, and his intention to maintain Su Li was undoubtedly revealed.

Hu He's heart hurt more and more, he didn't think about it, and blurted out: "That woman is not your mother!" ”

Your mother is nice, but not the woman!

Hu He almost shouted this, he was angry, and the anger burned so that he instinctively struggled, and the chains that bound him rattled.

Su Zhan was so frightened that he took two steps back, his little face a little pale.

He remembered that Lu Ji didn't let him call Su Li's mother, and he also knew that his mother's name was Gu Li, who was a very good-looking and gentle woman, and Lu Ji also explained to him just now that his uncle was his biological mother's brother.

He said the wrong thing.

Su Zhan immediately realized the problem, but he felt that the monster in front of him was a bad guy, and he didn't want to bow down to the bad guy.

Biting his lip, Su Zhan retorted loudly: "I haven't seen my mother since I was born, I don't know what she looks like and what voice she speaks, only Aunt Su accompanies me, Aunt Su is very good to me, in my heart she is my mother, no one is allowed to bully her!" ”

You haven't seen your mother because she died before you were born to protect you!

She was born very good-looking, and spoke softly and softly, and anyone who saw her would like her.

She's your mother!

She is the one you should defend loudly and not be bullied by anyone!

Hu He retorted in his heart, but his dry lips smacked twice but he couldn't make any sound.

How should he tell this child what her mother has endured for him?

This child is still so young, what if after knowing all the truth, he still thinks that the woman named Su Li is better?

Ah Li, if you have a spirit in heaven, will you be sad to hear this child say such things?

This is the good son taught by Lu Ji!

His heart hurt so much that it almost exploded, Hu He lowered his head again, he didn't look at Su Zhan again, and a sneer came out of his mouth: "Anyway, I'm not you, who do you want to defend have anything to do with me?" ”

His voice was extremely low, with endless sadness and helplessness.

Hearing this, Su Zhan also became a little sad, and he wanted to say something more, but Hu He suddenly coughed lightly, and actually coughed up a mouthful of black and red blood!

Hu He couldn't stop coughing, as if he had been suddenly drained of his energy, and he could no longer support this stump.

Su Zhan's heart twitched little by little, he was still young, and he didn't have much malice towards Hu He, but now seeing him coughing like this, he gradually felt unbearable in his heart: "You...... What happened to you? ”

Hu He didn't want to talk to Su Zhan anymore, so he took advantage of the cough and shouted: "Get out!" ”

After roaring, it was a violent cough that seemed to cough out the lungs.

Su Zhan also saw that he really wouldn't hurt people at this time, so he was not so scared, and said boldly: "Yes...... You said my mother first...... Aunt Su is not good! ”

Su Zhan still wanted to call his mother, but thinking of Hu He's excitement just now, he changed his words abruptly.

Hu He still ignored him, Su Zhan was a little angry, and walked closer to Hu He, and said sullenly: "You can't be so unreasonable, it's because you didn't do it right, you didn't say that Aunt Su was bad, I wouldn't say that, my father said that my mother was a very good person, and he also asked the scholar passing by the caravan to draw a portrait of my mother, but he said that the scholar was not good at writing and didn't paint one thousandth of my mother's beauty." ”

Hu He finally stopped coughing, he thought that he was an unreasonable person in the first place, how could this kid be naïve enough to reason with him? Sure enough, it followed Lu Ji's temperament.

"My mother is very beautiful, and the person is also very good, my father has told me about these, and he also said that I have a very powerful uncle, much more powerful than him, I have grown so big, the most powerful person I have ever seen is my father, my uncle is better than him, I have thought about what he will be like countless times in my heart, but none of them are like you."

Su Li looked at Hu He and said, after all, he grew up at the border pass, and his ability to bear it is much stronger than that of ordinary children, at least now he can talk to Hu He calmly.

Hu He looked at him, still the same sentence just now: "I'm not your uncle!" ”

"My dad won't lie to me."

Su Zhan said firmly that Lu Ji would not lie to him, which means that he actually believed that the person in front of him was his uncle, but he refused to accept it.

Hu He didn't speak again, and the cell quieted down, one big and one small looked at each other, inexplicably giving birth to two points of warm warmth.

After a while, Su Zhan took the initiative to speak.

"Uncle...... Uncle? ”

He let out a tentative cry, his tone uncertain and unfamiliar.

Hu He lowered his eyes, and even his head hung down, not responding to Su Zhan, nor wanting to look at him.

"Uncle!"

Su Zhan shouted again, this time more crisp than just now, and his voice was louder and firmer.

He was sure that this man was his uncle.

Hu He's shoulders shook, and the negligible pain just now swept over, as if it was about to swallow his whole person, but it couldn't hide the embarrassment of the trembling in his heart.

He was chained to a wooden frame, the most murderous felon, but a child stood before him and called his uncle in the purest and most innocent voice.

Every time he shouted, it was like a sharp knife, mercilessly removing the rotten flesh from his body, revealing little by little the bone spine distorted and corrupted by hatred, so that the soul that had been bound and tortured could see the light of day again, but it could no longer withstand the light of day.

He wanted to huddle up and go back to the filthy swamp than to face the child here.

"Huh!"

He chuckled lowly, and his laughter was full of sneer, both to Lu Ji and to himself.

Lu Ji used this trick too ruthlessly, much more ruthlessly than him.

In front of Su Zhan, all his defenses were vulnerable!

"Uncle, I just said the wrong thing, I miss my mother very much, my father said that you are a good painter, you are the only person in the world who can let me see my mother again, you help Ah Zhan draw a portrait of my mother!"

Su Zhan said cautiously reaching out to grab Hu He's trouser leg.

His hands were chubby and white and tender, and he reached over little by little, venting his inner tension and careful thoughts.

At the moment when he was about to touch it, Hu He said coldly: "This is what Lu Ji taught you, right?" ”

“……”

"Think drawing a picture will make me speak? Does he think I can't kill people with a brush? Or are you confident that I won't do anything to you? ”

Hu He is very conceited, and he also has conceited capital, as long as he wants to, in fact, he can kill Su Zhan without using any tools, after all, he is so small and so fragile.

Su Zhan was startled by his threatening tone, and then, unexpectedly, hugged his leg.

"Uncle! You scared me! Ah Zhan was just joking with you, you don't want to be like this, my father said that I will provide for you in the future, your eyes are not good, I won't dislike you, if I can, I will find a way to find someone to tell you a daughter-in-law, let's go to the border to move my mother's bones back to Beijing, the family will live a good life, don't do those things that fight and kill anymore, okay? ”

Hu He: "......"

Lu Ji, what kind of mess do you teach your children?

"Uncle! Don't be arrogant, I know you like me very much, when you fought with your dad before, I shouted, didn't you just show mercy to my dad in my face? Now it's okay for you to help me draw a portrait of my mother, and when I see my mother, I will know how beautiful she is, and I will tell others in the future that my mother is very good-looking, better than Aunt Su! ”

Hu He had never gotten along with Su Zhan, but at this moment, Su Zhan hugged his leg and said these two big paragraphs, he could see how ghostly this kid was, and he didn't know how much more than others.

"Who did you learn these side ways from?"

Hu He asked, his tone soft that he hadn't even noticed.

Su Zhan hugged his legs and looked up at him, his little face was wrinkled, like a chubby bun, and he corrected him seriously and seriously: "How can my uncle say that I am on the sidelines?" I'm smart! My mother taught me! ”

"I said that person is not your mother!"

"I'm not talking about Aunt Su, I'm talking about my own mother!" Su Zhan retorted seriously: "My mother has a small notebook, which is the top ten tricks she taught me to deal with my uncle, first, my uncle likes to have a cold face, but he is a paper tiger, as long as he holds his uncle's leg and is coquettish!" ”

Su Zhan said matter-of-factly, with interest, let go of Hu He, pushed a step away, raised his right hand, and stretched out two short and fat fingers: "Second, my uncle is actually a very unserious person, and he likes to be clever the most!" My mother said that my uncle was naughty when he was a child, and he liked to play pranks and tease her the most, and I wanted to learn from my uncle, and then treat him in the way of others, and avenge my mother! Third ......"

Su Zhan shook his head and shook his head, and learned the set of the gentlemen in the school very well.

Whether it was Lu Ji who said this, or Gu Li really left such a codex for Su Zhan, Hu He's thoughts were inevitably pulled back to those forgotten and dusty times.

At that time, the Gu family had not been wiped out, and he was still the eldest young master of the Gu family at that time.

He goes to the school during the day, and he is always followed by the short and chubby little Ah Li, he always likes to poke Ah Li's soft little face, Ah Li will not be angry, only when he is playing with her, holding his hand and giggling.

Ah Li really likes to laugh, and later at the border pass, she has always stayed by his side and pulled him, so that he did not fall into the endless abyss.

Later, she was gone, and the last string that pulled him was broken, but she didn't expect that after five years, she would leave such a miniature version of the child, reconnecting the broken string, trying to pull him back to the world from the foul-smelling purgatory.

But he was already covered in blood, and he could not see the light of day again.

"I don't remember what your mother looks like."

Hu He interrupted Su Zhan's words, and his tone returned to the cold one he had at the beginning, without a trace of emotion, as if he and Su Zhan were really just strangers.

Su Zhan bit his lip and looked at him, he lowered his head and completely relaxed his body, making it clear that oil and salt were invulnerable.

"Uncle, how can you not remember what my mother looks like?"

Su Zhan asked, his eyes were red, Hu He stopped talking, and he didn't even lift his eyelids again.

"Uncle ......"

Su Zhan kept talking to Hu He, but Hu He seemed to be hibernating, and he didn't respond again.

I don't know how long it took, Su Zhan said that he was tired, and he was also a little discouraged, he returned to the cell door, sat on the ground against the iron door, hugged his knees and shrunk himself into a ball.

Uncle is even colder than what is written in his mother's small book, and he is quite unreasonable, how can his mother still think he is cute?

Su Zhan began to deeply suspect that the little book might have been written down by his uncle to deceive his mother, and he was simply an emotionless person!

There was a stalemate in the cell, and the conversation between Gao Dahai and Chu Lingzhao after they walked out of the cell was not optimistic.

"Your Majesty, judging from the diagnosis of the minister, Hu He also suffered from the same poison as Hou Ye, and the degree of poisoning is far deeper than Hou Ye.

"So, Kutar is using this medicine to control the people who are working for him?"

"Quite possibly."

Chu Lingzhao frowned, if the Sudden Tartar is controlled with drugs, then the controlled person should need to take medicine regularly to suppress the poison, and the people outside the palace can still say, if there are also people in the palace who are controlled, then how will these medicines be sent into the palace? And by what means will it be delivered to the designated person?

If you want to be hidden and not discovered, at least a very complete operation team must be formed in the palace.

Such a team, from the guards guarding the palace gate, to the palace people who want to be inspected by the Internal Affairs Office, to the people who serve in each palace, step by step, will one day this medicine also be sent to the palace?

The more Chu Lingzhao thought about it, the more he felt afraid, raised his hand with a calm face to let Gao Dahai retreat, and went straight to the room where Zhao Hanzhuo usually worked.

Zhao Hanzhuo was still arresting people outside, and only hurriedly returned to Dali Temple after half an hour, and heard that Chu Lingzhao was still here, so he immediately rushed to meet him.

"Your Majesty!"

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite!" Chu Lingzhao stretched out his hand to support him: "What is the situation now?" ”

"The people who may have been in contact with the Hou Ye, the palace people who brought wine into the palace and the palace people who were in charge of the inspection have been arrested, Princess Ku Wanyan and the two maids have also been controlled, and the minister has asked the imperial doctor to check the items and blood they are carrying, and no problems have been found for the time being."

"Good work!"

Chu Lingzhao said in a deep voice and patted him on the shoulder.

He was still wearing the black clothes that were ready to fight to the death with the Hu warriors, and the whole person looked cold and reassuring, even if there was such a mess now, there was no panic or uneasiness.

Chu Lingzhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, now he is not unreliable and trustworthy.

"After Zhang De was imprisoned in the prison, what did he explain?"

"The minister used some torture on him, but he only had one sentence to shame the trust of the first emperor and His Majesty, and nothing else." Zhao Hanzhuo said, his expression was a little solemn, he had not been a Shaoqing of Dali Temple for a day or two, it was not the first time he had encountered such a criminal who was uncooperative and bent on death, but he was also a little irritated by the accidents that happened every day.

They all knew very well how important it was for the Hu envoys to enter Beijing this time.

If you can't find out the hidden situation behind this as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the national disaster will fall!

"Has Zhang De been drowsy, lacking energy, or having sore bones in prison these days?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Hanzhuo's eyes: "This ...... The minister heard that the jailer had returned once, but he asked the doctor to see it, and he didn't see any symptoms, how did His Majesty know? ”

"He's poisoned!"

Chu Lingzhao said coldly! Fu thought of Lu Ji's previous saying that Chu Huai'an was sick as soon as he arrived in Xunzhou, and there were many people in Xunzhou City who had the same symptoms, and they were worried that it was the plague, so they stayed in Xunzhou for a few days and refused to enter Beijing.

After Chu Huai'an returned to Beijing, Chu Lingzhao also sent an imperial doctor to Xunzhou, but the replies received were all epidemic-free, just an ordinary change of monsoon cold.

"Aiqing immediately sent troops to guard the water source in the city, and then quickly went to Xunzhou to investigate the current situation in Xunzhou City, and if there is any accident, return immediately!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Hanzhuo agreed in a deep voice, turned around to leave, and was stopped by Chu Lingzhao again, Zhao Hanzhuo turned to look at Chu Lingzhao, Chu Lingzhao raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "Aiqing has been paying attention to her diet these days, and the prison guards must also arrange people you can trust, I am a little worried." ”

He has only succeeded to the throne for three years, and three years have been regarded as exhausting, but from the palace chaos to the present, all kinds of things have emerged one after another, and he is really a little powerless.

At this moment, there were only Zhao Hanzhuo and him in this room, Rao was a generation of emperors, and he couldn't help but show a trace of fatigue and weakness.

"Aiqing, I'm worried that someone in the court will openly rebel and support the Hu people as kings!"

Blatantly rebelled, and the pro-Hu people were kings!

What does this mean?

It means that the Hu envoy group did not come to make peace this time, but to this throne!

If the time is ripe, Kutar raises his arms and waves, and someone in the court responds, directly supporting Kutar as the king and sitting on the throne, then he will really become a joke for the ages.

The Hu people smashed Huanglong without spending a single soldier and captured him, the king! It's a ridiculous joke!

"Your Majesty, there are many defenses in the city, and there are less than twenty people in the Hu envoy group, and there are two people lost today, so it shouldn't be ......."

"Nope! Aiqing, you are wrong! Chu Lingzhao propped his head and smiled bitterly: "In this huge capital, there are far more people in the envoy group than those in the envoy group!" ”

“……”

Zhao Hanzhuo was silent, Chu Lingzhao's words were already very clear, the huge capital, and the meticulous work of the Hu people, and I don't know the number.

That's why Zhao Hanzhuo just now asked him to pay attention to his diet.

This imperial city has long been in danger, and it is not known when it will be disintegrated and destroyed.

"Got it!" Zhao Hanzhuo replied with a solemn face, and saluted Chu Lingzhao: "No matter what happens, the minister will stand by His Majesty's side and live and die with Yuan Zhao!" ”

His voice was not loud, but every word was loud.

Zhao Hanzhuo nodded, and then remembered that Gu Yuanfeng and Su Li were also imprisoned, and said in a low voice: "In Aiqing's opinion, are Gu Yuanfeng and Su Li credible people?" ”

"Yes!"

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Yuanfeng took Chu Lingzhao's edict and temporarily took over Jing Zhaoyin's position, leading his troops to cooperate with the Dali Temple's action.

Two quarters of an hour later, Su Li walked into the Tai Hospital with the waist card given by Chu Lingzhao.

"Ah Li, are you alright?"

As soon as he saw her, Yue Yan eagerly rushed over and grabbed Su Li's hand, the dark arrow in her sleeve had not been removed, and Yue Yan immediately keenly noticed that something was wrong.

Su Li shook her head slightly, signaling Yue Yan not to be silent.

"It's okay, what's wrong with Master Hou?"

"I've already drunk the medicine, but I haven't woken up yet, so I have to wait a little longer." Yue Yan explained in a low voice, obviously feeling that in just a few hours, the entire palace had become noisy.

Everyone has a string in their head, and they don't know when it will break.

"Hmm." Su Li nodded, held Yue Yan's hand with her backhand, and did not shy away from the palace people, and raised her voice slightly: "The poisoning of Master Hou is not trivial, Your Majesty now suspects that someone is poisoning Xunzhou City, intending to create panic and take advantage of the chaos to do bad things, Sister Yan is now carrying on her shoulders the life and death of thousands of Li people, and please ask Sister Yan to develop an antidote as soon as possible!" ”

Yue Yan was surprised, he didn't expect such an important thing Su Li to say so.

Su Li's face did not change, his eyes swept around the room, and all the palace people lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything, and did not dare to show a trace of abnormality.

Su Li then pulled Yue Yan into the medicinal material warehouse behind the Tai Hospital, and as soon as she entered, Su Li took out a delicate dagger from her body and handed it to Yue Yan: "From now on, I will stay by your side for twelve hours!" ”

Afraid that the wall would have ears, Su Li gave Yue Yan a look, signaling that there were still people watching above her head.

Yue Yan grabbed the dagger, so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Ah Li, this ......"

Su Li slapped her hand twice: "Protect yourself in case you need it!" ”

Before coming to the Tai Hospital, Chu Lingzhao had already told Su Li about the situation briefly, and now it is very important whether Yue Yan can develop an antidote, and she said so much just now, and she also deliberately said it to the palace to listen to the details.

The situation is already very critical, this battle is about to ignite the smoke of gunpowder, whether it is false or real, it is necessary to make dangerous moves in order to reverse the disadvantage and not let anyone slaughter!

The situation was urgent, Chu Lingzhao only said about the poisoning, he didn't say how Lu Ji was injured, and he didn't say where Su Zhan was now, Su Li was also very anxious, but she had to stay by Yue Yan's side now.

There is a sword, she blocks it for Yue Yan, it is poisonous, she tastes it for Yue Yan!

"Ah Li, the general and Ah Zhan......"

"They'll be fine!" Su Li said categorically, showing a calm smile: "Don't think so much, let's develop an antidote first!" ”

Yue Yan nodded and swallowed those worried words.

Now is not the time to worry, everyone has to take responsibility on their shoulders!

Chu Huai'an woke up at the moment of Hai, when he opened his eyes, Yue Yan had just given him an injection, he was not fully awake, and after opening his eyes, he subconsciously wanted to sit up, and asked with concern at the same time: "Who won?" Lu Ji's grandson won't lose, right? ”

He got up too quickly, his head was dizzy for a while, and he fell back again, Yue Yan hurriedly spoke: "General Lu didn't lose, the life and death situation was temporarily interrupted, Master Hou, you are poisoned!" ”

Chu Huai'an's eyes were black for a while, and his heartbeat was terrifyingly fast, he raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and slowed down for a while before he whispered: "Don't let my mother know about my poisoning." ”

This matter was already known to the whole world, Yue Yan didn't know how to answer, and looked at Su Li for help.

"Madame already knows, it's good that the Hou Ye wakes up, and the palace people will go to tell Madam that you are okay in a while."

Hearing Su Li's voice, Chu Huai'an quickly raised his head, his eyes swept over her sleeve where the secret arrow was hidden, his face was slightly gloomy, and he ordered Yue Yan: "You go out first!" ”

His tone was very unfriendly, Yue Yan got up to leave, but was held down by Su Li, Su Li hooked a stool and sat on the edge of the bed: "Now Hou Ye is not alone in poisoning, the safety of the county lord is very important, I can't leave my sight, Hou Ye has anything to say." ”

Su Li said frankly, Chu Huai'an was not polite, he reached out and grabbed Su Li's hand, and sure enough, he touched the hard mechanism, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "You're really not afraid of death, don't take advantage of the chaos to pick it up, and now you still have the courage to wear this, and you're not afraid that the Tartar will trouble you?" ”

"I'm doing what I'm told."

Su Li's face was frank, and Chu Huai'an sneered angrily: "Do what you want!" Who do you think will be able to protect you when it happens? ”

He only knew that Chu Lingzhao had a back move when Su Li pressed the mechanism to launch that arrow, but this move couldn't be put on the table, and it was a little damaged, and it could protect Lu Ji, but it couldn't protect Su Li.

The Hu warriors were assassinated, and Kutar was bound to be furious, in order to calm Kutar's anger, even if it was to maintain peace on the surface, Chu Lingzhao would push Su Li out to atone for his guilt.

He understood Chu Lingzhao's intentions too well.

Chu Lingzhao didn't care about Su Li's life and death, maybe even Su Li didn't care, but Chu Huai'an couldn't care!

"Master Hou, your residual poison has not been cleared, and it is not good to be too emotional."

Su Li changed the topic, and Chu Huai'an's unfinished anger was all held back, and there was no way to vent.

He let go of Su Li, lay back quite arrogantly, and even turned his back to Su Li and Yue Yan, but turned it back after a while: "The life and death situation is interrupted, what is the reaction of Kutar now?" What about the rest of the Hu people? Is that guy named Hu He dead? ”

"Your Majesty took the opportunity to control the actions of the Hu people, this matter is important, Kutar is relatively cooperative at present, and there is no emotion, but I don't know if I can be quiet for a few days, Hu He is imprisoned in the prison."

Su Li briefly talked about the current situation, Chu Huai'an frowned and thought about it, and sat up excitedly after a while: "Lu Ji said that Hu He is Gu Jiong, he took refuge in the Hu people, he must have done something behind his back, maybe even the palace chaos planned by the An family was mixed with him, and he interrogated him overnight, and he will definitely be able to ask something from his mouth!" ”

If the civil and military officials heard what he had just said, they would definitely be surprised that they had such a keen and accurate intuition.

"Lord Zhao will deal with these things, Master Hou, you can recuperate in peace first."

Su Li reminded that Chu Huai'an was still angry, and turned his back to her again, and lay sleepy for a while and yawned, and finally focused on the poison in himself.

"By the way, what kind of poison do I have? Are these people afraid that I won't sleep well and let me sleep more? ”

“…… Master Hou, this poison is called soft soul incense in my grandfather's codex. ”

"And then?"

"It can corrode human bones and turn people into a pool of blood."

“……”

Chu Huai'an turned back and looked at Yue Yan, with an expression of being struck by lightning, making sure that Yue Yan was not joking, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Is there a cure for this poison?" ”

"It's still under development."

"And how long will I live?" Chu Huai'an asked bluntly, Yue Yan hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "...... It's hard to say. ”

Chu Huai'an's expression was stunned, he was still young, he didn't think about thinking about his aftermath so early, and now it sounded like a very unreal feeling.

He remembered the last time Chu Lingzhao gave him the wine with croton under the altar, at that time he was really mentally prepared and asked Su Li the question he wanted to ask the most, but this time he was caught off guard.

After being silent for a long time, he lifted his eyes and looked at Su Li: "Master is going to die again, do you feel anything this time?" ”

"As long as the antidote is developed, Master Hou will be fine."

Su Li's rational answer was so rational that it was almost indifferent.

Chu Huai'an nodded, smiled and muttered: "I really have no conscience, I still bite my tongue and vomit blood to help you cover!" ”

Su Li's hand tightened, and her heart also twitched, in the end, it was not completely ruthless, and added: "No matter what happened in the past, I will never look forward to Hou Ye's death." ”

If you don't want him to die, you want him to live.

Finally got a little psychological comfort, Chu Huai'an smiled, cheered up and smiled: "Don't worry, the fortune teller said that he can live enough to be a hundred years old, and he can still have children and grandchildren, what is this bit of poison, the master will be fine, and the master will ......."

His voice grew softer and softer, and before he could finish his sentence, he fell asleep again.

Yue Yan frowned, this is not a good omen!
