Yan Yang was sick in bed because of the cold, but she herself couldn't be idle, and from the chat with her senior brother, she learned that Emperor Chu's secret guard Yejiu was bitten by a poisonous snake in order to save him, and now she only has seven days to find an antidote. However, Emperor Chu was sick in bed because Yan Yang was lying in bed, and he had been staying by Yan Yang's side, Yan Yang felt that Emperor Chu must have taken the wrong medicine, how could Chu Huang, who usually ignored her and drugged her after she had a cold, how could he take care of her so carefully these days, there must be something greasy in this, although I don't know why. Yan Yang wanted to get better quickly, but he didn't have any blessing to enjoy the treatment that Emperor Chu took care of personally, and he felt uncomfortable as soon as he stayed with Emperor Chu.

Yan Yang gave up his face for more than ten years to be coquettish to Dongheng, and Dongheng reluctantly agreed that Yan Yang could go out for a walk.

As soon as he got out of bed, Yan Yang put on clothes that were more convenient for movement, and went to the study to find Emperor Chu: "Time is running out, let's go to that room and see if there are any other clues."

Emperor Chu was holding a book in his hand, and when he heard Yan Yang mention this, he accidentally forgot about her: "Aren't you particularly afraid of those corpses?" Why did you take the initiative to visit with me this time?"

Yan Yang pursed her lips, she was quite afraid of those corpses, but Dongheng had to take care of the people who had the plague, and Su Che was also arranging the living conditions of those refugees, these things were not suitable for her. The people of the harem show their heads outside, this is the ban of the harem of all countries, and the state of Chu is no exception, let alone this kind of thing about political affairs. Her identity as a princess of Qi is even more of a sensitive word. If she really wanted to make a contribution, she could only hide under the wing of Emperor Chu, so that no one else dared to touch her. Yan Yang thought about what corpses were, they were just a pile of dead things and wouldn't move, but when he thought of the crawling creatures in the painting that Emperor Chu painted last time, he swallowed his saliva, those things seemed quite terrifying.

Seeing the hesitation on Yan Yang's face, Emperor Chu smiled slightly, with a small arc. Yan Yang didn't pay attention to Emperor Chu's expression, she was struggling in her heart whether she wanted to go and see.

How could Emperor Chu let Yan Yang go, this was the first time she was willing to come out with him, and it was estimated that Dongheng didn't have the heart to treat those refugees if she stayed at the post station, so it was better to let him go, so she couldn't be idle.

Yan Yang was then dragged by Emperor Chu to the big house. Because it was daylight, the temperature was relatively high, and Yan Yang could smell the stench of the decomposing corpses inside at the door. Yan Yang couldn't help but want to vomit outside, and Chu Huang handed her a handkerchief. Yan Yang did not hesitate to refuse the handkerchief handed over, "It's okay, I don't need it." ”

Emperor Chu withdrew his hand in embarrassment, pretended not to care, glanced at the door, and said, "Let's go in." ”

Emperor Chu pushed open the door of the house, and the door that had not been closed in the first place made a "squeak" sound. In the courtyard of the house, the corpses of those who had died from the outbreak of the plague were thrown to the ground, so that the ground was a mess.

"How are we going to get in?" Yan Yang looked at the corpses all over the ground, then looked at the locked door of the room in front of the big courtyard, and pursed her lips, she now regretted that she wanted to follow Emperor Chu here on impulse.

"Follow me," Emperor Chu glanced back at Yan Yang, and then added, "It's best not to run away." ”

Yan Yang pursed his lips, is he that kind of person? She only dared to complain silently in her heart about these words. She followed behind Emperor Chu and carefully walked through those corpses step by step, afraid of stepping on them. Most of the corpses on the ground were rotting and smelling foul, and their skin had large patches of dark spots, not known if this was caused by the plague or by the bugs. Some of the corpses were so rotten that they were no longer visible, and many mosquitoes and flies hovered over them. Although those corpses could never open their eyes, I don't know why Yan Yang was still afraid of those corpses, so she was very careful with every step she took, so that her feet did not touch them, and when Emperor Chu arrived at the end of the pile of corpses, he turned around and found that Yan Yang was still walking there cautiously. Just stood there and waited, Yan Yang accidentally stepped on the hand of a corpse, she felt the texture of the fingers under her feet, hurriedly retracted her foot, and said honestly to the corpse she stepped on: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

The corpse on the ground would never be able to speak, and after Yan Yang apologized, he simply closed his eyes and walked quickly over those corpses. She felt herself stepping on the corpse on the ground several times, but she didn't dare to open her eyes, and after passing through the pile of corpses, she still didn't open her eyes and kept rushing forward. Emperor Chu saw that Yan Yang was about to rush to the wall, and grabbed her hand.

Originally, Yan Yang was very scared, feeling the temperature of her fingertips, she was startled, Yan Yang shook off Chu Huang's hand, opened his eyes, took two steps back, and just stepped on the corpse on the ground. She subconsciously ran forward and just bumped into Emperor Chu's arms.

"Is that enough?" Emperor Chu looked at Yan Yang in his arms, suppressed his emotions and asked in a deep voice. Yan Yang suddenly jumped out of his arms and separated himself from him for some distance.

"Let's go," Yan Yang pretended to be calm and said, looking at the locked door, there was tension under his eyes, and his hands unconsciously leaned together silently.

Seeing Yan Yang's small movements, Emperor Chu slowed down his pace slightly, "Follow." ”

Yan Yang watched Emperor Chu carefully attached to the door, looking at the dusty and locked gate. Emperor Chu used the knife on his body to pick up the chain at the door, and with a strong stroke, an obvious fault appeared on the chain. Beneath the dust on the surface of the chains was a bright metallic color.

"Did you find anything?" Yan Yang saw Emperor Chu looking at the pile of chains carefully, and asked curiously.

"Well, the specific clues should be in this room," Emperor Chu answered Yan Yang's question as he took out a handkerchief and wiped the knife in his hand.

"How do we get in?" Yan Yang looked at the locked door and asked suspiciously.

"The chains are new, there is no rust under the dust, and according to the people, the house was abandoned more than ten years ago, and has been haunted before. It's been so long, it's impossible for the chains in this room to be free of rust, so it's only possible - this lock has been replaced. So why did it change, there must be something unknown in it. Chu Huang looked at the door and calmly analyzed, "The lock on this door can't be opened, but this door has been unstable for so long, it should be able to ......."

"What are you going to do?" Yan Yang watched Emperor Chu take a few steps back, and said nervously: "I don't know what's in it yet, don't be so impulsive, okay?" What if there were those bugs inside? ”

"I can't care so much now," Emperor Chu looked at the closed door in front of him, there might be clues in it that could help him. After speaking, Emperor Chu rushed towards the door, which had been abandoned here, and naturally could not resist the huge impulse from the outside world. "Shake" fell to the ground, Emperor Chu took a few steps back, cautiously looked at the layout of the house, Yan Yang also stepped forward to take a closer look at the room at the door.

There were no insects coming out, Yan Yang breathed a sigh of relief. But she seemed to hear a "hiss" sound, she turned her eyes to look at the Chu Emperor next to her, and the Chu Emperor also stood there without moving, his eyes signaling Yan Yang not to move. Yan Yang also sensed the danger, and looked at the layout of the room, which was full of some peeled human skins, human skins, yes, she could clearly see the facial features of those people. On the beneath the skins of those people a bunch of creatures are marching. Yan Yang took a closer look, and those creatures were all snakes with the thickness of a small thumb.

What kind of place is this, there are a bunch of corpses outside, and there are human skins and snakes inside, Yan Yang couldn't help but complain in his heart. Yan Yang watched those snakes slowly march towards them, it seemed that Emperor Chu had just slammed open the door and alarmed these snakes. The snakes paraded on the ground swam to the two men standing in the doorway, spitting out snake letters.

They slowly crawled out from under the men's skin, spitting snake letters at where the two men were standing. Chu Huang watched them keep approaching, directly took Yan Yang's hand, hugged her into his arms and took her to fly up the roof beam, how could those snakes crawling on the ground let go of the two of them and crawled up on the beams. Yan Yang watched those snakes climb up one after another, and asked nervously, "What kind of snakes are these?" How can it be so fast?"

The snakes were much faster than she had seen them in the wild, and the sharp triangles of their heads reminded her that they were highly venomous.

"This is the snake that bites until the night," Emperor Chu stood on the roof beam and looked at the snake below that kept coming forward, and while answering Yan Yang's question, he led her out of the house.

"Master," Su Che stood at the door of the house, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute when he saw Emperor Chu come out.

"Don't say it, burn this place first, quick!" Emperor Chu put Yan aside, and when he saw Su Che standing on the side, he couldn't help but roar, there are so many poisonous snakes inside, are they all here ready to die?

Although Su Che didn't know why His Majesty was so irritable to him, he still honestly carried out His Majesty's orders, and everyone retreated to the open space on the side. The soldiers poured oil on the ground, the snakes had crawled out of the house and were marching on the ground, and the soldiers knew what that meant, and hurried forward to light the fire. The small flames burned slowly, and the snakes kept coming closer until the flames became a wall, and the scorching heat forced the snakes to keep back, but it was a pity that the snakes were engulfed in the flames, and with them was the room.

The fire burned for a long time until the soldiers were sure that there was no danger. Su Che ordered someone to put out the flames. Emperor Chu stood in front of the pile of ruins, looking at the house that had been burned and could not be seen in its original form, and fell into a deep thought.

Yan Yang stood silently behind him, and by the time Emperor Chu was ready to go back, the sun was about to set.

"Any clues?" Yan Yang took the lead in breaking the embarrassment between the two people and asked.

"The clue is broken, we have to start from other aspects," Emperor Chu stopped and looked at the falling sunset, and continued: "This time we have to hurry, don't let them destroy the clue." ”

"They, who are they?" Yan Yang was puzzled and asked after Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu remained silent and never said a word to Yan Yang along the way.

The other side

In a large and delicate courtyard, a man with a half-faced ghost mask sat on the main seat, Ah Hang looked at the prostrate housekeeper below, "Emperor Chu went to that house, right?"

"Back to the master, yes." The butler lowered his eyes and said respectfully.

The man in the mask smiled ghostly: "My little cuties, I guess he also saw it." I really want to see his expression at that time, isn't it interesting? As he spoke, a snake resting on his shoulder opened its eyes, and the snake spitted in the direction of the butler. The butler who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to retreat, watching the snake face in front of him keep approaching, the snake hyacinth stretched out on his face, and fine sweat continued to break out on his head.

"Good," the masked man mockingly looked at the nervous butler kneeling on the ground, and gently touched the snake's head, "It's useful to keep him." ”

The snake spat out the letter, which seemed to understand what its owner was saying, wrapped its body around his hand and swam back to his shoulder, but the snake continued to spit out.

"Master Xie," the butler knelt on the ground, slightly relieved, and the joy of surviving the catastrophe welled up in his heart, and he said gratefully to the masked man.

"Supervise Emperor Chu well, the Lord will not treat you badly after the matter is completed," the masked man got up and walked past the butler on the ground, leaving this sentence and disappearing above the eaves.

In the evening, Emperor Chu and Yan Yang arrived at the post station, and Su Che and Dongheng had already gathered in the hall, waiting for the two of them.

"Did you find anything?" Dongheng heard in the afternoon that the house was burned by the Emperor of Chu in the north, and the clues were estimated to have disappeared, so he asked this sentence to see how the Emperor of Chu investigated.

Su Che was a careless man, who couldn't understand the deep meaning of Dongheng's words, thinking that Emperor Chu had been looking for so long and had not found a clue, so he said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, it's okay." ”

How could Emperor Chu be okay, he was now sure that the corpse in that room was closely related to the plague, if it was just curiosity at the time, then now he had to find out. The more Su Che comforted him, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.

"Get ready, go out at night," Emperor Chu didn't even look at Dong Heng and Su Che in front of him, and said to Yan Yang.

Dongheng is used to it anyway, how can he not know the character of Emperor Chu after dealing with Emperor Chu for so many years, and he still dares to provoke Emperor Chu on his head, it is because of the relationship of interests between them, he expects that Emperor Chu will not dare to touch him. After all, after dealing with the plague, the little junior sister will go back to the Medicine Valley with him.

The ideal is very plump, in fact, Yan Yang doesn't want to face Dongheng who has been constantly dying, to be honest, she doesn't want to go with this person with zero EQ at all, and she can't be sure that one day Dongheng will be hunted down and killed.

Yan Yang ignored Dong Heng's gaze, walked behind Emperor Chu, and went back to the house to pack some things.

"Where are we going?" Yan Yang asked while looking at Emperor Chu sitting in the light while packing up his things.

"Go to the mountain," Emperor Chu replied silently, holding the painting he had drawn, "There may be clues there." ”

Yan Yang didn't speak, and silently prepared the things he wanted to bring.

"Okay, let's go," Yan Yang carried a small burden on his back and said to Emperor Chu who was sitting there.
