"These are all things that are within the concubine's share, and they are not hard, as long as the emperor likes them." Seeing Beitang Jinyu take a few bites of the lotus seed soup, she asked a little nervously, "Your Majesty, how does it taste?" ”

Beitang Jinyu looked at her, clearly seeing the expectation in her eyes, he looked stunned for a moment, and saw Gao Weihu standing beside him at that time, and seemed to look at him with such anticipation, but unfortunately he couldn't say the look that made her happy.

"It tastes good." Beitang Jinyu suppressed the emotions in her eyes, and the smile on her lips was faint, but Liu Yu'er was very happy, she was not good at cooking for fear that this lotus seed soup would not be in line with the emperor's wishes, but she didn't expect the emperor to feel satisfied, and she couldn't help but be secretly proud.

"Your Majesty, the concubines came all the way from the lotus pond near the imperial garden, the lotus flowers have bloomed very well, I don't know if the emperor can accompany the concubines to take a look again......" Liu Xu'er's eyebrows lowered and she gently pulled the sleeves of Beitang Jinyu.

Beitang Jinyu looked at the sky, it was already sunset at this moment, and the clouds in the sky were very charming from the window, like a very beautiful woman's gorgeous clothes, adding a little hazy and vast, his eyebrows were suddenly blank for a moment, and he whispered: "Let's go." ”

Liu Yu'er raised her eyebrows and smiled, and walked out of the imperial study with Beitang Jinyu.

The lotus pond outside the imperial garden is full of lotus flowers, and under the reflection of the lotus leaves in the field, it is more and more out of the world, indifferent and fresh, and there are koi swimming in the pond from time to time to disturb a pond of water and rippling slightly.

Liu Yu'er walked to the small bridge with a little smile: "The concubine just glanced at it in a hurry, and only felt that the lotus pond was full of flowers, and it was very beautiful to not stain the mud, but now I feel more and more amazing when I look closely." ”

Beitang Jinyu put his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on the lotus, and he thought of what Xiao Chu said in the letter: The lotus flower in the villa is quite prosperous, and she looked happy when she mentioned it several times.

Thinking of this, a smile also rose on his lips, as if he saw Gao Weihu's expression of joy and surprise in the face of that pool of lotus flowers.

Seeing that Beitang Jinyu looked so happy, Liu Xue'er thought that it was this pool of lotus flowers that pleased him, and she continued: "Once upon a time, someone wrote poems for lotus flowers, saying that the lotus flower was a hibiscus on a cactus, and the trickle was like a golden dew. Light clothes shine on the water, slender clothes stand upright, fluttering like a dance. What does the emperor think? ”

Beitang Jinyu nodded and said: "Concubine Ai is not only empathetic, but also so talented, and she is also quite researched in terms of lyrics and songs. ”

Liu Xu'er chuckled and said: "When it comes to literary talent, no one can compare with the emperor, and the concubines are just copied from the ready-made ancients, but they can't talk about half of their talents." ”

"Concubine Ai is so amazed and happy to see this lotus pond, she should prefer the refinement of lotus flowers." Beitang Jinyu said indifferently, but what repeatedly appeared in his mind was the peony flowers that stood proudly.

"The concubine really loves the lotus flower the most, not only prefers the lotus flower to be tactful and indifferent, but also likes her to get out of the mud without staining, and she has a dusty and unearthly attitude." Liu Yu'er paused for a moment and continued: "The flowers in this palace all have their own moving places, each has its own season, so when the season should be appreciated when the flowers, now that spring has passed the spring flowers, summer is also the beauty of summer, what does the emperor think?" ”

But it's just a round of time, and when the snow melts next year, those peony flowers will bloom all over Fengqi Palace and in his eyes.

"Your Majesty." Mu Chen's voice suddenly came from behind him, he stood respectfully behind Beitang Jinyu, Beitang Jinyu turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, I sent someone to investigate the plague, and I found a trace of the royal family of Chu State, but that person is very deep, and it will take some time to find out." Mu Chen said truthfully, and Beitang Jinyu responded: "If you continue to investigate, you will inevitably find out the person behind it." ”

"Yes." Mu Chen received the order, quickly turned around and disappeared, Beitang Jinyu thought that Xiao Chu and Gao Weihu were also struggling to find the person behind it, and now that he had some clues, he informed them.

Beitang Jinyu turned around and walked towards the imperial study, thinking about what he should write in his heart.

Gao Weihu and Wu Qingfeng waited in the courtyard for a long time and didn't wait for Liu Yingjiang and Xiao Chu to come back, she was worried all morning, for fear that something would be wrong with Le Yao.

Just when Wu Qingfeng was about to ask someone to find Wu Qi, Xiao Chu pushed open the courtyard door and came in, Gao Weihu hurriedly handed him the letter in his hand: "Xiao Chu, what should I do?" I woke up early in the morning and saw this letter, Le Yao was robbed. ”

"I already know, I didn't find Princess Le Yao in the inn with the poison, nine times out of ten she was kidnapped, and the poison is still looking nearby, I'm afraid you will be worried, so I came back first." Xiao Chu's face was not very good-looking when he said it, obviously Le Yao's matter was not simple.

"What happened to the plague? Did you catch that person? Wu Qingfeng asked anxiously, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, Xiao Chu shook his head and said: "We were indeed followed, but that person turned out to be a dead man, we just caught him and committed suicide by taking poison, obviously prepared." ”

"And that's how our plan failed?" Wu Qingfeng apologized a little angrily: "The person behind that is so treacherous, this matter is really tricky, what should we do now?" ”

"The top priority is to rescue Le Yao." Gao Haohu's eyes were full of uneasiness, Xiao Chu hurriedly comforted her: "Gao Weihu, don't worry, let's figure it out together, this person's letter says that he wants poison to bring the plague antidote to exchange for Le Yao, otherwise they won't attack Le Yao before sunset, and we still have time to discuss it." ”

"So what are we going to do?" Gao Weihu had a bit of sadness in her eyes, if something happened to Le Yao, how could she feel at ease.

"In this way, I will go out of the village now to find Liu Yingjiang, we have no antidote to the plague, I will plan with the poison about this, you two can stabilize the village, but don't help it." Xiao Chu's face was a little serious, Wu Qingfeng and Gao Weihu nodded, and their mood became heavier and heavier.

Xiao Chu tucked the letter into his sleeve, turned around and strode outside, thinking in his heart about who had arrested Le Yao, that person was obviously coming for the poison doctor.

At this moment, Le Yao is still immersed in great fear, she has not eaten a drop of water for a whole day, the whole person is very haggard, she leans on the pillar and her body is a little weak, she didn't sleep all night last night, as long as she thinks that there are corpses and bones around her, her heart is full of panic, and she can't calm down for a long time.

If it was finally dawn today, her surroundings didn't look so dark, she was still tightly bound by ropes and couldn't move, and it was always this position that made her feel uncomfortable, and her face was a little painful.

There is still a faint pain in the back of her neck, yesterday with the two black-clothed people was cut by the sword, she didn't feel how much pain she felt before, but now she feels very little unbearable, she has the strength to relax her mood as much as possible, her eyes are stunned to look ahead, her mind is full of Liu Yingjiang's appearance, he sits quietly in the courtyard and drinks tea, he reads the book quietly in front of the wind window, or his white-clothed Shengxue is warm and smiling, these scenes are the only little comfort and support in her panic and despair, she believes that Liu Yingjiang will definitely come to save herself.

Suddenly, Le Yao caught a glimpse of a few small black dots slowly coming towards her, she frowned suspiciously, and was almost frightened after seeing clearly, those moving small black dots turned out to be snakes, and poisonous snakes slowly crawled towards her, Le Yao kept struggling to retreat, but she couldn't move half a minute when she was tightly trapped, she looked at a poisonous snake that was about to crawl to her feet, her face instantly became defeated, and she muttered: "Don't ...... Don't come near me! ”

The poisonous snake spit out the letter, raised her body and was about to bite down on Le Yao, she was frightened and screamed in panic, but the imaginary pain did not come, she slowly opened her eyes and found that all those poisonous snakes had disappeared, she looked around in surprise and there was really no one.

Le Yao was puzzled, but her heart became more and more broken.

Liu Yingjiang is still Wu Qingfeng at the moment, he slowly tore off the skin and put it in the brocade box in his sleeve and said: "There is another possibility, this is another test." ”

It's been a few days since the antidote to the plague spreads, and the person behind the scenes may not be able to hold back and come up with another trick to tempt.

"It's possible for you to say that, but we don't have an antidote, so what now?" Xiao Chu saw that the black stone forest was getting closer and closer, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"It's okay, he doesn't know if we have it, so when the time comes, we'll find out what he's talking about." Liu Yingjiang said, and probably thought of a countermeasure in his heart: "General Xiao, when the time comes, I will enter the Wushi Forest alone, don't expose it first, if it is just me, they will definitely relax their vigilance, which will be more beneficial to us." ”

Xiao Chu nodded cooperatively, and sure enough, he didn't follow Liu Yingjiang into the Wushi Forest together, he found a hidden position not far away to hide, and looked around vigilantly.

Not long after Liu Yingjiang walked into the Wushi Forest, he heard a gloomy voice sound: "Liu Yingjiang, you are really here, what is the antidote to the plague?" ”

"Where's the girl?" Liu Yingjiang also replied in a cold voice, his momentum was not weak at all, but it added a little bit of a sense of not being angry and arrogant.

"If you hand over the antidote, the girl will be safe." The deep voice said, as if it was a little impatient, "If you are rubbing down, I can't guarantee what will happen?" ”

"If you dare to do anything to her, I will definitely not spare you!" Liu Yingjiang raised his voice and snorted coldly: "I naturally have a way to find you." ”

The deep voice smiled very madly, and said, "You better talk less nonsense and quickly hand over the antidote." ”

"The rules of the rivers and lakes are to hand over people and things at the same time." Liu Yingjiang would not be fooled at all, if he hadn't seen Le Yao in person, he would have fought to the end with this person.

"Bring that man." The man said in a low voice, Liu Yingjiang frowned, and looked around casually, there are many people floating in this wood, there should be many people ambushing around, it seems that it is really difficult for him to retreat this time.
