Chapter 536: Taking the princess hostage

"What is this?"

Ling Chen shook his head, "I really don't know what the Eastern Immortal Monarch means. ”

"I'll know tomorrow, so let's have a good rest today."

Ling Chen put these rewards aside and nodded, Jiang Chuge continued,

"Ling Chen, you haven't been doing anything lately, have you? If there's anything you need, just let me know and I can help you. ”

Ling Chen was slightly surprised, not knowing why Jiang Chuge suddenly said this. So put on a harmless smiling face,

"It's just that I've been a little tired lately, it should be good to take a break, Xiaoge doesn't have to worry about me."

Jiang Chuge looked at him for a long time and didn't speak, and finally said okay and went out of his room.

It was still early, and he felt bored again, so Jiang Chuge went around the palace, thinking that it would be better if he could encounter some strange flowers and plants, and he was a little rusty after not using poison for a long time. However, after walking for a while, he didn't find anything interesting, and was about to rush back, when he suddenly came across a little boy dressed in rich clothes who was looking for something on the ground.

Curiosity, Jiang Chuge stepped forward to take a look, and saw a thin little boy, who looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he rummaged left and right on the ground, and finally found a hand ring, and then put it on his hand. Jiang Chuge frowned, and immediately felt that there was something wrong with the hand ring on the child's hand, but when she first arrived here, she didn't know whether she should be nosy or not.

The little boy found something, stood up, didn't notice Jiang Chuge behind him at all, and turned around and hit Jiang Chuge's stomach directly, it was not heavy, just a light touch.

The child was a little dazed after being hit, and when he saw Jiang Chuge, he said timidly, "Sister, you are so good-looking, better than the ladies in this palace." ”

Being praised so much by a child, Jiang Chuge suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, but when he saw the child's eyes, he began to feel distressed. Such pure and shy eyes are like Ke'er, the distressing child.

Jiang Chuge immediately stepped forward, took the child's hand, and looked at the bracelet carefully, it was indeed made of sterling silver soaked in poison. After confirming, Jiang Chuge clicked a few times on several acupuncture points in the child's heart, and the child was suddenly a little panicked when he was fiddling with this, and his eyes widened and shouted, "Sister? What are you doing? ”

Before she could finish reading what kind of poison it was, a gorgeously dressed and beautiful woman had arrived, and when she saw Jiang Chuge holding the little boy's hand, she suddenly shouted, "What person? Bullying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! After speaking, he took the little boy's hand and hugged him tightly in his arms.

Prince? Is this the only son of the Northern Underworld? Jiang Chuge was a little surprised.

"Eniang, sister, she didn't bully me."

The lady looked at the little boy's face and touched his head again, "It's okay, don't run around in the future, so that Eniang is worried about death." ”

Seeing that this woman's sincere appearance didn't look like she was pretending, Jiang Chuge opened her mouth and asked, "You are his mother, do you know that the silver bracelet on his hand is poisonous?" ”

When the woman's face froze, she immediately exclaimed, "Bold! Silver jewelry will be black if it is poisonous, this bracelet is given by the queen, how can it be poisonous, when did you enter the palace, and you are talking nonsense here? ”

Obviously, this woman recognized Jiang Chuge as a concubine in the palace, and Jiang Chuge didn't explain, but just said lightly,

"Take down the table and soak it in the liquor for a day and a night, and then use the silver needle to probe the liquor, I just want to come forward to check it because I see this kid is cute and can't bear his premature death, believe it or not."

Then she turned and went back to her quarters, and the woman looked at her back and thought about it.

The next day, the monarch of the Northern Desert Kingdom really summoned Jiang Chuge again, but this time, he was summoned alone, and he was not called Ling Chen. In the main hall, the emperor squinted his eyes and asked her directly, "Are you the alien star?" ”

Jiang Chuge smiled slightly, and replied calmly, "What?" Doesn't Your Majesty believe it? ”

The Emperor looked at her for a moment and replied, "I believe that the first time you see you, you should be that alien star. But unfortunately, the widow has always believed more in man-made. ”

Jiang Chuge observed the change in the emperor's expression as he spoke, and did not fail to see any clues, so he continued,

"As for the purpose, naturally I want to live well here, and getting acquainted with Ling Chen is just an accident."

"Dongming has always been attached to the Northern Desert, if the widow hands you over to Situ Bin, he will definitely be very happy."

Jiang Chuge couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, he couldn't have just gotten out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den, right? Although he was a little nervous in his heart, he still looked indifferent to a master of the world on the surface. Jiang Chuge knows very well that at this time, the more he pretends to be mysterious, the more he can save his life, and if he cries like a straw bale, he is afraid that he will really be pulled and sold.

"If Your Majesty does this, if the Northern Desert loses the battle between the Northern Desert and the Southern Chu, won't you become a sinner."

The emperor finally had a strange look in his eyes, and then asked, "How do you know that the Northern Desert and Southern Chu will go to war?" ”

"Without Qin Ying, isn't it a matter of time, but Nanchu is now strong and strong, and the commander Yeluqi is brave and good at fighting, and there is no one available in the Northern Desert except for an elderly general Yuanzhen, I'm afraid it's not an opponent."

"The Northern Desert is defeated, what do you have to do with the widows."

Jiang Chuge smiled slightly, "Your Majesty knows better than me, if the Northern Desert is defeated, the next target of Southern Chu must be the Eastern Underworld!" I'm afraid you won't be able to sit comfortably in this chair. ”

"You wouldn't have been sent by Situ Binbin to be a lobbyist to persuade the widow to send troops to help him, right?"

"Lobbyist?" Jiang Chuge snorted and laughed, "Your Majesty, you are too careful, it has nothing to do with me whether you send troops or not, if Dongming falls, I will just have one less place to cling to." I am a prisoner of the imperial court in the Northern Desert, and it is impossible to help Situ Bin. ”

"So you want the widow to protect you?"

Jiang Chuge knelt on the ground, and said lightly with a humble and obedient look,

"But seek a place to live."

The Emperor nodded, touched the two pieces of white beard, and in his heart, he probably liked everything to be surrendered to his feet.

"Okay, the widow you said will consider it, as long as you are in the Northern Desert, no one will do anything to you. Rest assured. Jiang Chuge chuckled, this Lao Shizi's identity as an alien star is really useful, this emperor still gave three points of thin noodles, and looking at his appearance, it seems that he was planning to send troops, now, he can probably rest assured.

"Oh no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fainted, go and call the Imperial Doctor!"

As soon as he went out, Jiang Chuge heard several eunuchs and palace maids calling there.

The monarch of the Eastern Underworld Kingdom is old, the number of people in the harem is small, the heirs are withered, and almost all the princes who were born have died, only Concubine Hui gave birth to such a prince, who was nine years old, and was made the prince. The identity is extremely noble, but I didn't expect to faint soon after returning to my palace, and I was screamed by the palace maids and eunuchs.

Jiang Chuge thought about it, the silver bracelet didn't seem to be very toxic, but it looked like it was brought when he was a child, and it had accumulated for so long, so he was afraid that the toxicity had already penetrated into his heart. It is pitiful that the child should suffer such an ordeal at such a young age.

However, it's only pitiful, that child is the body of the prince, and it's okay to save it, if you can't save it, I'm afraid that the person who treats it will also have to worry about their lives. At that time, that reminder was already the limit, and Jiang Chuge took a great risk to save people, so she was unwilling.

Sure enough, as Jiang Chuge expected, almost everyone in the Tai Hospital had been there, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still did not get better, Concubine Hui was already crazy, and the emperor also came to see him several times, and he lost his temper so much that he was almost about to kill someone. If this only son is gone, how can he live?

Concubine Hui is the favorite concubine of the king of the Eastern Underworld, and now her son has been crowned the crown prince again, and even the queen has given her three points, and now she sees her son in a coma, and all the imperial doctors are helpless after seeing it, only crying vigorously,

"My Xuanlin, why is your life so bitter!"

The emperor was a little annoyed by her crying, and scolded, "How did you do Eniang, a child can't stand it, let him play everywhere, now something is wrong, you still have the face to cry!" ”

"And you, a group of rice buckets, can't save the prince, and the widow will let you all be buried together!"

The court judge of the Tai Hospital was a respected old doctor, who was older than the emperor, and when he heard this, he had to kneel on the ground and say,

"Your Majesty, according to the diagnosis of the old minister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have been poisoned, if you can find a good cure for detoxification within three days, you can still be saved, if you still can't detoxify it after three days, I'm afraid that it is useless for Daluo Immortal to come."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Then what are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and find something that can detoxify!" ”

"Your Majesty, we are not good at detoxification, and we don't even know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned and what kind of poison is there, even if you really kill the entire Tai Hospital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still can't save it."

"Then what do you say!"

"Dare to ask Concubine Hui, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seen anyone today?"

Concubine Hui shook her head with teary eyes, and said in a low voice, "Today, Xuanlin stayed in my palace all day, and he didn't go anywhere else except for the time when he went to the back garden at noon. ”

"By the way," Concubine Hui suddenly remembered something, "Today, when Xuanlin went to the back garden, he met a woman, could it be that woman poisoned Xuanlin?" ”

The court judge shook his head, "Niangniang misunderstood, if it is really as Niangniang said, I am afraid that person saved His Royal Highness the Prince." Look at the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince, several key acupuncture points have been sealed, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have died a long time ago. ”

Concubine Hui thought about it for a while, and then said, "She also said that the silver ring brought by Xuanlin was poisonous, and I retorted that her sterling silver would definitely turn black when poisoned, and she said that it could be seen by soaking it in white wine for a day and then using a silver needle to probe the wine, I only thought she was talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously, after all, Xuanlin had been carrying this bracelet for several years." ”

The court judged the silver bracelet and looked at it carefully, "There is some poison, it can indeed be hidden in the silver jewelry and not be discovered, but now the bracelet old minister can't be determined, and the method just said can be tried." ”

"That's not in a hurry, now it's important to think about how to save His Royal Highness the Prince."

"According to the old minister's opinion, if that person can be found within three days, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can still be saved."

The emperor glanced at her and said unhappily, "The widow hasn't been in the harem for a long time, how can he bring any beauties back." ”

Concubine Hui knelt on the ground and cried and said, "Then, the concubine doesn't know, but the woman does have a good face, and the concubine also feels very pleasing to the eye." ”

The emperor couldn't help but think about it when he heard Concubine Hui swear like this, but he was getting older and older, and he had long been powerless about the affairs of the harem, where would he bring any beauties into the palace.

"Your Majesty," the father-in-law, who had been waiting beside him, suddenly interjected, "The old slave has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"What else do you sell in front of me, if you have something to say." The emperor grew impatient.
