Without further ado, I was sent to a carriage and driven by the palace people to the annex outside the city of Kashu overnight.

Before leaving, how Rao is palace curtain cried and begged, the emperor was also resolute and insisted on isolating me. The palace curtain and the palace curtain added oil and vinegar, urging the palace people to send me away quickly. But Miyahata didn't worry me, just stood behind everyone, and suppressed the worry on his face.

"Crown Princess Niangniang, although this is a royal palace, it has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no palace person to take care of it. Your maid will be isolated in the Prince's Mansion, so these days you will have to take care of yourself. "When I delivered it to the place, the palace man sat in the carriage with his mouth and nose covered and shouted to me, "The emperor's will, tomorrow at noon, there will be palace people to bring you soup, medicine and food, only once a day, you can be wronged!" ”

After the palace man finished speaking, he hurriedly drove the carriage back as if he was hiding from a flood beast. I looked around at the dead and empty garden, which was originally a four-room house, and the courtyard was empty and silent, so cold and terrifying in the night wind. I got goosebumps, coughed violently again, and trotted back into the room to make a charcoal fire.

How can it be... How could it be that there was an epidemic...... I panicked and frightened, curled up and shrunk on the bed, and the miserable white face of the rich concubine's corpse suddenly appeared in my mind.

Could it be that it was contracted at that time?

The rash on my body tickled again, and I coughed so badly that my mind was dizzy and heavy, and I almost didn't have the strength to get out of bed. I wanted to drink saliva, but I saw that the room was empty, and there were a few teacups.

If I die here tonight, I'm afraid no one will find out.

Thinking so, I fell asleep in a daze. In my dream, I was a ghost-like concubine, with herpes and puscesses on her face, and she stretched out her white and thin hand to chase after me......

"Return to Hotaru, even return to Hotaru!"

My eyes were so stinged by the sun that I was shaking my shoulders as if someone was shaking my shoulders. I slowly opened my eyes, only to see a vague, pale face staring at me.

"Hell!"

I sat up from the bed with my eyes closed. The woman screamed and struggled to dodge.

"Don't be afraid! It's me! ”

I felt my hands grasped firmly by a pair of large, warm and powerful hands, and I could feel the man's breath in front of me. The taste is so familiar, it's so familiar. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the face of the person in front of me, and tears flowed down my eyes instantly.

"-Duan Ming!"

Duan Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled and exchanged a reassuring look with Sarong behind him.

"In the end, the two of you have a deep relationship, and you wake up when you scream." Sarong glanced at me, "If you don't wake up, I'll be beaten to death by you!" ”

I burst out laughing, laughing like this, I don't know when the last time it was. It has been more than half a month since I was separated from Lingguang Mountain. Now that we see each other, we are very happy. And Sarong is a more capable person than Duan Ming, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the two of them in this isolated and helpless garden, how can I not be overjoyed?

"Duan Ming, when did you come back? How did you find here? ”

"According to the original journey, I should have gone to Yiyang today to visit Ganlai." Duan Ming took my hand and smiled, "But last night I suddenly had a rash on my body for no reason, I thought that you might be in trouble in Karzhou, so I hurried back overnight." After coming back, I returned to Taopinlou, and Senior Ji told me that she had taken you to Yiyang, as well as your decision to enter the Prince's Mansion in Yiyang, the epidemic in Beijing, and the news that her Feiyanqi spies had found out that the princess was sent to a villa outside the city, and when we heard the news, we came to look for you. ”

"What kind of senior Ji, it seems like I'm seventy or eighty." Sarong glanced at me again, turned his head to me and said, "I also knew the news that you were sent out of the palace, but I thought it was your plan again, so I didn't act rashly. If it weren't for Duan Ming's rash, I wouldn't have brought him to you. ”

I subconsciously rolled up my sleeves and looked at my arm, but I was surprised to find that the herpes in my eyes last night had mostly disappeared, but it was only faintly red.

"Before the two of us came to you, I looked at the rash on Duan Ming's body." Sarong said, "This is just some ordinary toad poison, I boiled the antidote decoction for him to take, and it was not so itchy immediately." ”

"Toad poison...?" I was suspicious, "Hearing you say that, my dizziness and cough last night have gotten a lot better this morning." So, don't I have an epidemic? ”

"What are you kidding, you are a person who practices martial arts, and your body is full of true qi, how can ordinary viruses and evil things enter your body?" Sarong smiled, "Although this epidemic is severe, there is also a process for initiating the disease. If you suddenly get sick in the evening like you, and you have a rash on your body, you must have ingested something by mistake. Only you said dizziness, cough ......"

"I didn't notice these symptoms last night." Duan Ming shook his head, "Although you and I are mutually fused bodies, we are only connected by blood. If you really get the disease, I won't have only a rash. ”

"According to what you say, Gui Hotaru has eaten something bad?"

"Where is the bad food, this is clearly a trick of the palace curtain!" I gritted my teeth and thought, "Can't be wrong! At last night's dinner, Gong Hao mentioned to the emperor that I had come into contact with the corpse of an epidemic patient. They must have put poison in my diet in advance that could make me give birth to symptoms similar to the epidemic, otherwise how could he have foreshadowed a sentence in advance, causing the emperor to be suspicious of me, and when he saw my rash, he thought that I had the epidemic! ”

"Prince Tang Tang, your mind is so dirty..."Duan Ming's clear eyes flashed with indignation, "Why did they do such a thing!" ”

"You don't know, the brothers have always behaved like this." I sneered, "They framed me for the epidemic, I'm afraid that it was just to splash the dirty water of the Prince's Mansion and bring down the East Palace!" ”

"Even so..."Duan Ming looked at me in embarrassment, "Gui Ying, why do you bother to maintain the East Palace?" ”

"I'll explain this to you later, and it's not just the East Palace that I want to maintain." After I finished speaking, I regretted it a little, and then said hatefully, "Now that I have seen through their tricks, I will go back to the palace now and tell the emperor!" ”

"Calm down, since the emperor expelled you from the palace, he must have believed that you are suffering from the epidemic. At this moment, you rushed out, but you were afraid that if you didn't see the emperor, you would be shot to death by the guards first. Sarong said in a deep voice, "What's more, since the three princes have used medicine on you, in order to prevent your medicinal power from dissipating and discovering clues, they will definitely find a way to maintain the symptoms of your epidemic." ”

"Yes, the eunuch last night said that he would deliver food to me at noon every day." I suddenly said, "Since the palace curtain was drugged in my diet yesterday, I naturally have the ability to buy the people in the palace and drugged my daily food in the future." ”

"In this case, instead of throwing yourself into the net, it is better to brake with static." Sarong said calmly, "When the person in the palace who brings you food comes, you change into her clothes and sneak back to the palace, and then present the poison to the emperor, and their tricks will be revealed." ”

We were thinking about it, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

At noon, I saw three masked eunuchs come to the other garden, and behind them, there were many guards, there were forty or fifty people.

"What a big battle," I sat on the stone bench under the old willow tree in the courtyard, and sneered at the eunuch who led me, "but to send a meal and medicine, and there are so many people in the Labor Palace." ”

"The crown princess has a noble status, and we should be careful to serve you."

The eunuch was expressionless, took a food box, took out two plates of vegetables, a bowl of white porridge and a bowl of soup and medicine and put them in front of the stone table, bowed down and continued, "Please take the medicine and eat for the crown princess." ”

I glanced at the food and said, "If I don't eat, will you just stand here and watch?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor's meaning is that the servants can only leave after watching Niangniang have eaten."

"Is it the meaning of the emperor or the meaning of the palace curtain?" I sneered, "What if I insist on not eating?" ”

"If the mother doesn't use it herself, the slave will follow the order, and the labor guard brothers will have to serve the mother and eat!"

"Oh, let's see who else has to work."

The eunuch was startled, and turned to look back, but saw that everyone in the courtyard had already fainted to the ground, except for him. Sarong and Duan Ming flew down from the roof, Sarong looked at the unconscious guards proudly, clapped his hands gently, and a residual burst of bright pink smoke rose from his palms. Duan Ming frowned, pinched his nose and took two steps forward, grabbed the eunuch's neck, and pressed him to the ground.

"You... Who are you! ”

Sarong couldn't help but say, picked up the medicine cup with his left hand, pinched the eunuch's mouth with his right hand, and poured the black and yellow medicine soup into it. Sure enough, after the eunuch drank the medicine, his limbs were weak after drinking less than a stick of incense, and red herpes grew all over his body, and he was itching and rolling on the ground again and again.

"Gui Hotasu..."Sarong squinted his eyes and said slowly, "When did you have symptoms yesterday, and when you had symptoms, you were like him... Is it so sad? ”

I also have some doubts, I felt dizzy and weak when I was in the prince's mansion yesterday, and it has been more than half a day since the rash was discovered. Indeed, it was not quite the same as the eunuch's reaction.

"Maybe your internal strength is pure, and the same poison occurs on you, and the symptoms will be milder and slower." Duan Ming guessed, "Or maybe he was afraid that you would find something abnormal in the prince's mansion and would not be able to frame you in front of the emperor in the palace, so he reduced the dosage yesterday?" ”

"If that's the case," I stared at the eunuch who was screaming on the ground, "Then he sent such a strong dose of medicine today, aren't you afraid that I will find something strange in it?" ”

"-Banner Master!"

Duan Mingsa and I were both startled, and turned our heads to look at the door of the other garden where the voice came. But he saw that Yu Yue looked panicked, and he didn't realize that his veil had fallen off. He didn't seem to notice the people around me, and shouted as he ran wildly: "Don't touch the food and soup medicine, the third prince has been poisoned!" ”
