Chapter 3: Poisons
However, Zhao Jiu just looked at the little eunuch calmly: "Then according to what the little father-in-law said, King Ning is not afraid of the queen mother?" If that's the case, then why would King Ning show mercy to my little stableman? Didn't Imperial Doctor Zhang and the two of you let King Ning scrape with his knife? ”
"You, you ......" the little eunuch said Zhao Jiu, and his face was flushed with anxiety for a while.
The queen is not a person who does not believe in herself, but she has to admit that what Zhao Jiu said is unreasonable. If King Ning really reached the point where he didn't have half a fear of her, where would Imperial Doctor Zhang still be able to breathe.
Hmph, this King Ning!
The queen's clenched fist slowly loosened again, and then gently raised her hand towards a few people: "Get up." ”
Zhao Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that he had fooled around again. However, the queen looked unwilling to let go, and asked Zhao Jiu, "What's your name?" ”
"Return to the queen's mother, villain Zhaojiu."
"Zhao Jiu," the queen smiled kindly, "this palace is also clever when he sees you, are you willing to stay in this palace and serve this palace?" ”
“……”
It seems that the skills of this pair of leaders are really common in ancient and modern times! She was too lazy to do this in the real world, and the world in this book was forced to do it in order to save her life, but she didn't expect the queen's leader to give her a promotion and a raise?
Before Zhao Jiu could speak, Yu Fang became nervous first, and looked at him several times, always worried and anxious.
Zhao Jiu suddenly remembered that she was still a man in the eyes of outsiders, and if she stayed by the queen's side, she could only become a eunuch......
It's better not to, even if she doesn't have that, this time she will go to the clean room and it will be exposed!
So Zhao Jiu thanked him: "Thank you for the queen's appreciation, but the villain is not an errand in the inner palace, just a small horse keeper of the imperial horse supervisor." And there is a daughter-in-law in the villain's hometown waiting for the villain to go back and marry her. ”
"The Imperial Horse Supervisor?"
Afraid that the queen would not agree, Zhao Jiu hurriedly added: "Zhao Jiu knows that he is stupid, if he stays in this palace, he may not be able to serve the mother, but if the mother has any use for the villain in the future, the villain will definitely do his best to serve the mother." ”
The queen smiled and nodded: "Since you are a lover, then let's leave it." But since you are willing to serve this palace, then do one thing for this palace, if it is completed, this palace will immediately allow you to leave the palace, and give you a sum of silver, so that you can go home and marry a wife with peace of mind, how about it? ”
Zhao Jiu was stunned, uneasy emotions arose, or she was careless, she didn't even see that this was a trap set by the queen, she really thought that the queen wanted to keep her by her side to do things, but she didn't expect that she just wanted to use her!
This queen is worthy of being the master of the harem, and her acting skills are not inferior to the Oscar-winning actress!
But the matter has come to this point, if she refuses, she may only annoy the queen, and thus her life will be in danger, so she can only ask cautiously along the way: "I don't know what the queen wants the villain to do?" ”
The queen asked someone to bring a bottle of medicine to Zhao Jiu: "The spring hunt is approaching, and His Royal Highness King Ning's horses are the most manic, this medicine can calm down King Ning's 'Kicking Snow Black Horse', and it can also save His Highness from worrying about horse training." ”
Spring Hunting?!
The images from the nightmare flashed through my mind one by one.
No, no, she must not go spring hunting, she must not meet the prince!
Seeing that Zhao Jiu had not received the medicine for a long time, the smile on the queen's lips dissipated little by little, and a trace of cold ruthlessness appeared in her eyes: "Why, didn't you say that you are willing to serve the palace in everything?" ”
Zhao Jiu hurriedly took away the medicine bottle in the little eunuch's hand, and thanked him: "The villain is willing to serve the mother, but I didn't expect the queen to value the villain so much, and gave the villain such a favor, the villain was distracted from excitement for a while, and the villain must live up to the trust of the mother." ”
The queen regained her dignified smile again, waved her hand and said, "Okay, the palace is also lacking, you two can retreat." ”
"Yes."
By the time I got back to the Imperial Horse Prison, it was already dark.
Zhao Jiu was worried all the way, and he didn't talk much, before entering the door, Yu Fang thought about it, and still couldn't help asking: "Zhao Jiu, are you worried about what the queen mother asked you to do?" ”
Zhao Jiu's body trembled slightly, and she grabbed Yu Fang's shoulders with a serious expression: "I pretend to be sick, you must not tell the master!" ”
Yu Fang was stunned, but when he suddenly mentioned this matter, he was depressed and suddenly stopped fighting, if it wasn't for Zhao Jiu pretending to be sick, he wouldn't have asked the master for a sign to enter the palace, and he wouldn't have encountered such a dangerous thing today.
"Zhao Jiu, why the hell are you pretending to be sick to lie to us?"
Zhao Jiu made a "shhhh ”
"Huh?" Yu Fang was skeptical, "Why don't you want to go to the Great Dusk Mountain?" That's a good errand, I heard that the emperor and queen and the nobles in the imperial city are going to go, don't you want to see their true faces? ”
What's so nice about the appearance of the royal relatives, she avoids all the royal relatives in this book!
"I don't want to go, I'm scared, I want to stay in the stable and feed the horses."
The more Yu Fang listened, the more confused he became: "Social fear...... What is it? Eh...... No, isn't spring hunting just going to the Great Twilight Mountain? If you don't go, then how can you do things for the queen? ”
Zhao Jiusheng glanced at him without affection: "Do you think that I went to the Great Dusk Mountain to do something for the queen mother, will His Royal Highness King Ning let me go?" ”
Even if Yu Fang is stupid, he can figure it out, the queen wants Zhao Jiu to poison King Ning's beloved horse, and if King Ning's horse dies, King Ning will definitely kill Zhao Jiu.
"So, what should I do......
Zhao Jiu shook his head, helplessness written all over his face.
Yu Fang also fell silent, regretting and feeling guilty in his heart, Zhao Jiu's current situation was more dangerous than him, but he was still thinking about what happened before, and he was still angry with Zhao Jiu.
"Anyway, as soon as I die, I hope that I can live a more stable life before I die, and I don't want to go to the Great Twilight Mountain to participate in their struggle. Today you also saw how scary King Ning and Queen Ning were, I feel that if I look at them more, my life will be reduced by one day, I am really afraid. ”
Zhao Jiu's Baoyu-like eyes were shining, and he was about to cry when he saw it, Yu Fang was distressed for a while, and hurriedly agreed: "I promise you, Zhao Jiu, I will never tell the master, don't cry......"
Zhao Jiu nodded, bowing his head to wipe his tears.
Yu Fang sighed: "You, you were so powerful when you were to His Royal Highness King Ning, why did you start crying now?" ”
Zhao Jiu smiled sourly: "Where am I powerful, I'm all stretched, in fact, I'm also scared to death." But I think if I was scared any longer, the two of us might not really be able to come back. ”
Suddenly, it was as if a warm current gathered in my heart. Yu Fang grew up with Zhao Jiu since he was a child, and he knew how small Zhao Jiu's courage was, but how heroic Zhao Jiu behaved in order to save him today, he had to keep these in mind.
"Zhao Jiu, don't worry, I will find a way to protect you."
Although he knew that Yu Fang didn't have that ability, Zhao Jiu was still a little moved, after all, in this unaccompanied novel world, Yu Fang was the only friend who cared about her.
"Thank you, Yu Fang."
The two of them went back to the room together, and Zhao Jiu fell on the bed and was about to sleep. She was really tired, and it was really brain-cell and physically demanding to fight with the royal magnates, she only felt that she had added an all-night shift, but there were still a lot of troubles waiting for her to solve.
Yu Fang secretly brought a bowl of leftover rice to Zhao Jiu to eat, Zhao Jiu had no appetite, and soon fell asleep in a daze, but dreamed of the situation on the mountain at dusk.
The prince crushed her in the grass and began to tear her clothes frantically. She desperately shouted for help, but the prince reached out to cover her mouth and said to her, "Jiu'er, I will treat you well." ”
Zhao Jiu's eyes widened, but he couldn't see the prince's face clearly. But she saw those eyes stained with the fire of desire, as if they were about to burn her whole person to ashes, and in an instant, they all turned into bloodthirsty coldness, like ice at the end of the north and south.
"Ahh
Zhao Jiu screamed and sat up, his back was already soaked.
Damn, she couldn't see the prince's face clearly before, and she couldn't see the prince's eyes, but she could see it last night, does this mean that this incident is getting closer and closer to the moment it happened?
Zhao Jiu held his head and said wildly in his heart, no, no, as long as you don't go to the Great Twilight Mountain, it will definitely not happen!
Yu Fang came in from outside with a basin of water, and saw Zhao Jiu sitting on the bed uncontrollably, so he hurriedly ran to her bedside and asked worriedly, "Zhao Jiu, are you having nightmares again?" ”
Zhao Jiu grabbed Yu Fang's shoulder like a life-saving straw: "Yu Fang, did the master agree yesterday?" ”
Yu Fang frowned slightly, and Zhao Jiu grabbed it too tightly, and it hurt him. But Zhao Jiu's panicked appearance was really distressing. He hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, I have already told the master, you are not feeling well, and I am afraid that you will not be able to serve the royal horses well in the twilight mountain with you, so the master crossed you out of the accompanying list." ”
Zhao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was just a dream.
Yu Fang was still a little uneasy, and asked again: "Zhao Jiu, you didn't have nightmares before, why were you woken up by nightmares every day these days?" ”
Zhao Jiu rolled his eyes, held his chin with both hands, and sighed deeply: "So I don't pretend to be sick, you see that I can't sleep well every day when I have nightmares, where can I have the energy to feed the horses." ”
Yu Fang saw that she had regained her spirits and could laugh with him, so she finally put her mind at ease and snorted softly: "I think the little father-in-law was right yesterday, you are becoming more and more sharp now." ”
"Hey, hey."
Yu Fang took out a bag of pastries from his arms and handed it to her, his tone was full of concern: "You slept without eating when you came back last night, and you must be hungry now." Oh, I just went to the kitchen to get it, you can eat it. ”
Zhao Jiu took it and held it in his hand, and said "thank you" with a smile, this smile was sweet, and Yu Fang was slightly stunned, and his heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.
