Chapter 18: Poisoning Her
Zhao Jiu suddenly took out a bottle of poison, and Wen Mi was really startled. However, she only glanced at Zhao Jiu with surprised eyes, then took the bottle of medicine, nodded and agreed: "I'll go back tonight to match it, and give it to you early tomorrow morning, okay?" β
Zhao Jiu didn't expect her to agree so quickly: "Don't you ask me where this poison came from?" Why do you want to dispense medicine? Aren't you afraid that I will harm you? β
Wen Mi shook his head: "If you want to harm me, why do you need to help me that day?" And I said I wanted to help you, and you didn't want me to dispense poison to harm people, and I didn't have to ask too much. β
Zhao Jiu couldn't help but be happy, it's only been a long time, the heroine is full of trust in her, it seems that these two red beads and agate have no loss!
"It's not convenient for me to tell you why and what happened, but I promise I'm not doing anything bad. And I'm afraid that telling you will hurt you. β
Zhao Jiu made a serious promise to Wen Mi, Wen Mi was stunned again, but he didn't expect that although Zhao Jiu seemed to be a weak pony, he was kind and responsible in his heart.
"It's okay, I believe you." Wen Mi said.
Zhao Jiu bent the corners of his mouth: "Thank you, then I'll go first." You can't be out for too long, so go back quickly. β
Wen Mi nodded, and Zhao Jiu turned to leave, but she just walked out a few steps and then turned around and waved her hand at Wen Mi, and shouted in a suppressed voice: "Mi Mi, happy birthday, have a good dream~"
Wen Mi was stunned, and hurriedly raised his hand and waved in response, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "Okay." β
This little pony...... Really a nice guy.

Got the heroine so easily, Zhao Jiu was in a good mood, and even the pace of going back became brisk, and he couldn't help humming a song.
"You are the strongest, the best, the brightest, the brightest~~"
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and Zhao Jiu braked the car sharply, only to see a person who looked like a eunuch appeared in front of her.
"Father-in-law, you almost scared me to death!"
Zhao Jiu patted his chest and shouted "It's over" in his heart, the eunuch next to the queen came to her at this time, it was terrible, it was terrible......
And sure enough, it was not a good thing, the eunuch said to Zhao Jiu with compassion: "Zhao Jiu, have you done the things that the queen mother told you?" β
Zhao Jiu's expression was flustered, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Father-in-law, I feel that today is not a good time, so I plan to do it tomorrow, you can rest assured that I will do it tomorrow." β
The eunuch's face was like a bull's head and horse face in hell: "It's too late tomorrow, Niangniang sent me to tell you, go now." β
This queen is too anxious, her medicine hasn't been prepared yet!
"Let's go, I'll watch you in secret, and when you're done with this, I'll go to the queen to ask for credit for you."
"Okay, then thank you father-in-law." Zhao Jiu smiled and agreed, but after taking two steps, he panicked, "Oh, I forgot, the bottle of medicine is still in my room, father-in-law, why don't you go to the stable and wait for me first, I'll take the medicine and go." β
The eunuch glanced at her contemptuously, but said, "I'll go with you." β
Zhao Jiu originally wanted to get rid of this eunuch first, and then go to Wen Mi to find a way. But the eunuch was too guarded against her, and she could only go back to the room first, and then think of another way.
However, before the two men could go far, they heard the sound of chaos in the camp.
"You go over there, you come with me!"
"Princess Jingxi, Princess Jingxi!"
The eunuch's face flashed with a hint of malice, and he hurriedly grabbed one of the guards and asked, "What's wrong?" β
The guard said: "Princess Jingxi is gone, the emperor is sending us to search everywhere." β
Although Princess Jingxi is not the queen's biological daughter, she was raised by the queen. When the eunuch heard this, he immediately panicked, and said to Zhao Jiu: "You go back and get the medicine, and go to the matter explained by the queen mother as soon as possible." If you dare to make any mistakes, the mother will not be able to spare you. β
With that, his figure flashed and disappeared into the chaotic crowd.
Zhao Jiu patted her chest, fortunately the eunuch was gone, she had to hurry to Wen Mi to get the medicine.
"Zhao Jiu!"
Suddenly, a man came galloping in front of her.
Zhao Jiu was slightly surprised: "Guo Qi? β
Guo Qi stretched out his hand to her: "Get on the horse and follow me to His Highness." β
Hearing Li Yun's name, Zhao Jiu subconsciously took a step back: "Why, why did you go to His Highness?" β
Guo frowned: "Yu Fang intended to poison Ferrari, but he was caught red-handed by our people, and he has been escorted to His Royal Highness, and I don't know if he can survive." β
[Zhao Jiu, don't worry, I will find a way to protect you. γ
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately took Guo Qi's hand and turned over on the horse.
Yu Fang, this idiot!
When Guo Qi and Zhao Jiu arrived in front of Li Yun's camp, the guards said that Li Yun had gone out on horseback to find Li Jingxi.
Zhao Jiu hurriedly asked, "What about Yu Fang?" β
The guard didn't seem to know Yu Fang, so Guo Qi said, "What about the assassin we caught who was going to poison him?" β
The guard said, "He's locked in the back, and Lord Cheng'an is looking at him." β
When Zhao Jiu heard the word "assassin", his face turned pale with fright, this is a capital crime!
She immediately got off the horse and wanted to find Yu Fang, but Guo Qi grabbed her arm and dragged her back: "It's useless if you go, without His Highness's order, Cheng'an can't let people go." β
Zhao Jiu said eagerly: "But how could Yu Fang go to poison? He doesn't even have poison! β
Guo Qi frowned and comforted: "I don't believe that Yu Fang has the courage to poison him, so I came to you." β
Yes, Yu Fang's courage, when he saw Li Yun coming, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and he didn't dare to raise his head. How dare he poison her, how dare he run to poison her without permission!
Zhao Jiu was so anxious that he walked back and forth in place, and Guo Qi said: "I also know that you are in a hurry now, but now Your Highness does not come back, and Cheng'an and they will not do anything to Yu Fang, if we want to save Yu Fang, we can only find Princess Jingxi first." β
Zhao Jiu felt that what Guo Qi said made sense, if he found the royal princess, maybe he could plead for Yu Fang and make a difference. But......
"But the forest in this twilight mountain is so big, how do we know where the bear child has gone? When he was only ten years old, he rode around on horseback, what did he run? I wonder if it will worry adults! β
Guo Qi knew that Zhao Jiu was in a bad mood, and he dared to say that the princess was a "bear child", if he was usually determined to scare her two sentences, but now he just said comfortingly: "Zhao Jiu, you stay here and wait for me, don't worry, I will go to Princess Jingxi." Don't go into the woods without a horse, it's getting late and dangerous. β
After that, he drove away on horseback, and Zhao Jiu couldn't stop it. How could she stay here with peace of mind, now that it is night, there are so many wild beasts in the forest, Li Jingxi is a little girl......
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and Zhao Jiu hurriedly went back to his room and took a dagger and a horse whistle and entered the woods.
This horse whistle was collected when she went out to the shop, and when she heard the strange merchant say that it was something of the Wu clan, as long as she blew a set tune, the horses who heard it would follow the sound.
Zhao Jiu went into the forest to look for it from the place that Yu Fang told her, originally to see if there were any clues such as horseshoe prints on the ground, but it had already been destroyed by the guards who were looking for it.
In desperation, Zhao Jiu had to follow that road to find it, this is just a big road, she doesn't believe that Li Jingxi's horse can still rush down the mountain, no horse can be so stupid! But soon she felt naΓ―ve, and at the end of the road there were three different paths, each leading to a different place.
Damn, how do you find this?
Zhao Jiu stood in the middle of the road for a while, and the horseshoe prints on the road were very messy and shallow at all, and there was no pattern at all.
She suddenly thought of a famous saying: There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up.
Forget it, it's better to go back and think of other ways to save Yu Fang if you are looking for Li Jingxi. Although this little girl is in danger, there are already so many people looking for her, and there is no shortage of her with small ability. What's more, she doesn't know this girl either, Yu Fang is her friend.
Zhao Jiu was about to return when he suddenly heard the neighing of horses and the sound of fighting in the distance. She was frightened, looked for the voice, hid in the bushes and watched, only to see five or six men in black fighting with Li Yun, and Li Yun was only protected by a guard.
Seeing this, Zhao Jiu quickly made a decision to evacuate the place! This kind of scene of fighting and killing is too dangerous, and it is completely unsuitable for her to be mixed with a salted fish like her.
It is not surprising that Li Yun met the assassin, in the twilight mountain, he and the prince must have a fight, but because Li Jingxi is gone, taking advantage of the chaos that everyone is looking for in the woods, this assassination will be advanced.
Zhao Jiu said to himself while running: "Li Yun, it's not that I don't save you when I die, you are the male protagonist, you have a halo, even if you fight two or six, you will definitely win, I am different, I am a cannon fodder who only has the share of being beaten, and I may lose my life, I will silently cheer for you in my heart, and when you come back alive, we will talk about saving Yu Fang." β
Whoosh β
A sharp arrow suddenly broke the silence of the forest and pierced the night sky, and Zhao Jiu was so frightened that she rolled into the grass next to her, and the roar of the beast wanted to shatter her eardrums, and she seemed to hear the neighing of a Ferrari.
That arrow was Li Yun going to shoot her just now?
As soon as she thought of this, the picture in the dream appeared in front of her like a nightmare, and Zhao Jiu's body retreated back almost instinctively, but behind her was a slope, and as soon as she stepped on the air, the whole person rolled down like a wheel.
But fortunately, the slope was not very steep, and Zhao Jiu pulled up several weeds in a row, and finally tightened a tenacious one, allowing his body to stop halfway up the slope.
Really scared to death!
She took a few sharp breaths, a little frightened. When she looked up, she saw a lone horse standing in the dimly lit forest beneath her feet, looking at her with a snort, panting.
