The secret passage is under the cliff of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, it is a curved underground cave, not so much a secret passage, but a snake nest, dense, full of poisonous snakes, making people's scalp numb, worrying, no one likes to walk this road, fortunately, Mengya sprinkled some powder on her and Wuji's body, the poisonous snake smelled the powder, and avoided it from afar.

Men are not allowed to set foot in the territory of Yueshang, if they are found to be killed, unless there is a special order from the queen, they can only enter, in order to avoid being blocked, quickly take the unhindered into the Yuxiang Valley, Mengya can only choose to take this secret road, until Mengya pushes open the stone gate, out of the cave, it is already dawn.

Yuxiang Valley is full of bright flowers of bright color, fragrant, the ancient trees are more than ten zhang thick, the interval is far away, the clouds cover the sun, the houses are all wooden, fall on the branches, like a nestle, leisurely and chic, there are at least a dozen houses on a tree, a tree is a village, the house is hung with a spun light yarn, like a colorful waterfall, particularly spectacular.

Wuxian did not have time to enjoy the scenery of Yuxiang Valley, taking advantage of the darkness, followed Mengya quickly around the house, and ran to an ancient tree like a mountain peak, the whole tree is a palace, majestic and magnificent.

Before approaching the palace, it was discovered by a group of light gauze women, the Yue Shang woman covered her body with light gauze, and her body characteristics were unobstructed.

This group of women has a green snake carved on their right arms, led by a middle-aged woman in gray veil, with a dark complexion and a rough face.

The middle-aged woman said, "Where is the princess going with this man?"

Meng Ya wanted to sneak into her palace with Wu Ji and dress up Wu Jian as an old woman, but she didn't expect to be discovered so soon, Meng Ya said in a deep voice: "Do you need to ask the captain where the palace wants to take him?"

The female captain smiled and said: "The princess is angry, her subordinates are just performing official duties, please show the princess a special order." ”

Mengya said: "This is the mother's commandment, the matter is in a hurry, and no special order has been given. ”

"If there is no special order from His Majesty, his subordinates can only detain this person and then go to His Majesty to inquire!"

Mengya was shocked: "Mother King...... Where is the mother now? The palace is going to take him to see the mother. ”

The female captain said: "Your Majesty is naturally in the palace, but the princess cannot take him to see Your Majesty without His Majesty's special order." ”

Meng Ya reprimanded: "You dare to resist the order!"

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates just act according to the law. ”

Meng Ya glared at the female captain and scolded: "The mother king is anxious to summon him, if it is delayed, can you afford it?"

The female captain said: "Your Majesty has ordered that the palace be confined and no one will be allowed to see the driver. ”

Mengya: "Isn't it okay to see the driver in this palace?"

"Princesses are no exception. ”

Meng Ya said angrily: "This palace is going to take him to see the mother king today, see which of you dares to stop me!"

The female captain took a step back, and at the same time showed black bone spurs, "Princess, don't force us!" confronted Mengya.

"Stop!" a voice came from the direction of the palace gate, and the person who spoke was a beautiful woman in pink veil.

"Elder Mu came just in time, and Captain Ye dared to stop me from seeing the mother king. Meng Ya said happily, because Elder Mu is in charge of government affairs, shrewd and capable, he is the youngest elder in the clan, and he treats Meng Ya as his own on weekdays, and he is doting and pampered.

Elder Mu glanced at the masked Wuxian and said to Meng Ya, "Why did the princess take this man into the Jade Xiang Valley?"

Mengya said, "Where is the mother? I will take him to the mother." ”

Elder Mu said with a slight embarrassment: "I don't know why, Your Majesty suddenly ordered last night that no one is allowed to enter the dormitory, and now only Elder Liu can see Your Majesty, and we also have important matters to report to Your Majesty, waiting for Your Majesty to decide, and we have been waiting all night now." ”

Meng Ya let go of half of her heart, knowing that the mother king was still alive, and asked, "What does the elder want to report?"

Elder Mu asked: "Doesn't the princess know, Yuxiangquan was poisoned last night, although it was discovered relatively early and the source of the poison was removed, but thousands of people were poisoned, this poison is extremely powerful, we have tried many methods but can't solve this poison, if Your Majesty can't solve this poison, I'm afraid these thousands of people can only wait for death." ”

Meng Ya secretly hated Xiao Yuzhen and Yu Sisi for really being poisoned, and turned her eyes and said: "The mother king ordered me to find a doctor last night, and I don't know what happened after that." ”

Elder Mu looked at Wu Barrier and said, "He is the doctor that the princess found?"

Meng Ya glanced at Wu Barrier, nodded, and said in her heart: "Whether you know medical skills or not, now you can only come to see as a doctor, if you really can't do it, try your blood again, but I don't know if your blood is enough for a thousand people." ”

Elder Mu said, "Then come with me and see if he can cure those who are poisoned!"

Wu Jian said, "Please ask Elder Mu to lead the way!"

Elder Mu turned around and took Meng Ya, Wu Ji and the others to the nearest tree house, under which there were already more than a dozen people lying side by side, each with a dark face, purple lips, rapid and slow breathing, Wu Jian was silent, and he gently put two fingers on the neck of one of them, contemplating and observing the pulse, and after a while, he opened his mouth to check.

Elder Mu took out a wooden box, opened the lid of the box and contained a black pill, handed it to Wu Jian and said, "This is the poison taken out of the spring. ”

Wu Barrier took it, sniffed it lightly in front of his nose, thought for a long time, and said: "There are twelve kinds of poisons mixed here, poison and poison are born together, and the toxicity is extremely strong, if one of the poisons is removed, the other poisons will be derived and filled, not only will not decay, on the contrary, the toxicity will be stronger, and it is difficult to crack." ”

Elder Mu said, "What does Sir, this poison can't be cured?"

Wujian stood up straight and said: "If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive even an hour, but the nobles have practiced poison since childhood, and there is more or less resistance to these poisons in the body, and the nobleman's jade fragrance spring has a natural detoxification effect, so that this poison has only played one or two layers, although the poison has invaded the internal organs, but there are still most of the toxins blocked in the abdomen, if you want to detoxify, you should first remove the poison in the stomach and intestines, and then go to find the antidote, do you have Bashu here?"

Elder Mu said, "Yes, how much does Mr. want?"

"The more the better, boil the boiling water for half an hour, and give them the soup first. ”

Elder Mu sent the letter to the suspicious person to do it, Meng Ya breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the calm Wuxian with admiration in her heart.

Elder Mu smiled and said, "If Mr. can save my people, he will be the savior of Yueshang, and we have always been kind and vengeful. ”

Wu Barrier said: "It seems that if Li can't save the elder's clan, then there is only one death!"

Elder Mu's face changed slightly: "Since it is His Majesty's will, where do we dare to decide the life and death of Mr., I don't know how Mr. will solve the residual poison in their bodies next?"

"Does Elder Mu's clan have medicinal herbs, and if so, can you take me to choose a medicine?"

Meng Ya said: "Of course there is, I'll take you there!"

Elder Mu asked, "What kind of medicinal herbs does the gentleman want, and I will send someone to get it?"

"Poison. ”

Elder Mu asked, "Poison?"

"A poison that you often take, which does not endanger their lives, and is very toxic, only by using this poison can the balance of the twelve poisons be broken, so that they will change from mutual birth to mutual restraint, and finally be eliminated. ”

Meng Ya said: "Then only the mother king's 'beauty is drunk'!" explained to Wuji: "This beauty drunk is the poisonous wine that our people have gradually taken since childhood, which can resist all kinds of poisons, nourish the beauty and invigorate the blood, and is brewed by the mother king himself and distributed to the clansmen. ”

Elder Mu said, "Now that Your Majesty has no one, this is difficult!"

Mengya said, "I'll go to see the mother king." ”

Elder Mu shook his head and said, "Elder Liu strictly guards the dormitory, and her character princess is not unaware. ”

Meng Ya said: "Life is at stake, if she stops her, can Elder Mu go in with me to meet the mother king?"

Elder Mu was stunned and said, "By all means, if Your Majesty blames you, even the princess probably won't be able to bear it." ”

"If we want to save the lives of more than a thousand people as soon as possible, is there any other way, not to mention that we only need to restrain Elder Liu, and the mother king may not be to blame. ”

"It's not that I haven't thought about this matter, it's just that Elder Liu's cultivation is a step above me, if we want to restrain her, it won't be easy, unless we ......" Elder Mu said halfway through.

Mengya asked, "Unless what?"

"It's better not to say it. ”

Mengya hurriedly said: "If you say what you're afraid of, I'll bear it alone." ”

Elder Mu looked around, handed Meng Ya a packet of medicine, and said in a low voice: "Unless the princess takes advantage of her unpreparedness to sprinkle on her body, only in this way can we have a certain certainty, princess rest assured, this medicine will only make her lose her internal strength, and I will give her the antidote as soon as the matter is over." ”

Mengya said without hesitation: "Okay, let's go." ”

Elder Mu glanced at Captain Ye, and led a group of people to lead Meng Ya and Wu Barrier towards the palace.

Wuji walked beside Meng Ya, taking advantage of everyone's attention, and said in a low voice: "Lend me the things that Elder Mu gave to the princess!" Meng Ya didn't think much about it, and secretly stuffed the bag of medicine into Wu Ji's hand, and soon after, Wu Ji stuffed the bag of medicine back without saying anything.

The door of the hall is a huge tree hole, the door frame is engraved with ancient totems and characters, there are more than 100 guards wearing red yarn standing side by side in front of the door, seeing Mengya and others enter the hall, come forward to worship, Mengya ignored it, and led everyone through the hall to the apse, at this time there were more than a dozen people waiting in the hall, most of them were people with noble status, and they were surprised to see Mengya leading a man in.

One of them, a delicate and beautiful woman wearing a blue veil, stepped forward and said, "Princess, where have you been?" After speaking, she glanced at Elder Mu with a slightly suspicious expression.

Mengya replied, "The mother ordered me to go to the doctor to find a doctor, and I came back!"

The blue gauze beauty looked at Wu Barrier and said, "Now that Your Majesty's confinement palace is guarded by Elder Liu, it may be difficult for the Princess's concubine to see His Majesty." ”

Meng Ya came to the guards and said, "Hurry up and inform Elder Liu, saying that this palace wants to see the mother king." ”

The guard turned around and went to the direction of the dormitory, and after a short time, he came back to report: "Elder Liu said that Your Majesty has not seen anyone, please wait in the apse with peace of mind." ”

Mengya asked, "Why does the mother king want to confine the dormitory?"

The guard replied, "My subordinates don't know!"

The blue gauze beauty said coldly: "I'm afraid this is what Elder Liu meant, if the situation is urgent, why can't Your Majesty even see the princess." ”

An old man in a black veil coughed and said, "Elder Liu has been in charge of criminal and military affairs for thirty years, he is highly respected, meticulous, and deeply trusted by His Majesty, what can you do, Bai Ling, what you said is not right." ”

Bai Ling said with a smile: "I'm just worried about Your Majesty's safety, now that Yuxiangquan has been poisoned, almost poisoning all the people in the valley, such a big thing happened, Elder Liu confined the dormitory and didn't let us see Your Majesty, and didn't say the reason, Elder Feng, can you rest assured?"

Elder Mu said: "This kind of thing has never happened to us in Yueshang, and outsiders in Yuxiang Valley dare not enter easily, the poisoner is familiar with the terrain, he must be a person in the valley, and each of us can be suspected before finding out the truth." ”

Elder Feng said: "Anyone can be suspected, but Elder Liu cannot, the old man can take his life as a guarantee." ”

Meng Ya said: "It's not too late to investigate the poisoner later, and the top priority now is to see the mother king and ask for a 'beauty to get drunk' to save more than a thousand lives." ”

Bai Ling said: "The princess is right, in my opinion, we should go to see Your Majesty together, even if you listen to Your Majesty's words, it is better than waiting here for no reason." ”

Seeing that Elder Feng was silently thinking, Elder Mu said, "That's right, let's go together!" As he spoke, he and Meng Ya and Bai Ling took the lead in walking towards the dormitory, but the guards couldn't stop them, and Elder Feng saw that a few more people followed, so he had to follow behind everyone.

Seeing that he had seen the dormitory, he only heard an old man shouting: "You are so bold that you dare to trespass into His Majesty's dormitory." An old man on crutches stopped in front of the door.

Meng Ya stepped forward and said, "Elder Liu, the matter is urgent, I want to see the mother king." ”

Elder Liu was as thin as wood, and his sunken eyes stared at Meng Ya and said, "No matter how urgent the matter is, you must follow Your Majesty's will." ”

Meng Ya asked, "What happened to the mother king?" In fact, she knew better than anyone else that the mother king must have been attacked by Xiao Yuzhen, and her body was highly poisonous.

Elder Liu said, "Princess, don't worry, Your Majesty has nothing to do. ”

Bai Ling said: "Since there is nothing to do, why is the dormitory closed tightly, we are not allowed to see us, and there are more than 1,000 people in the whole clan waiting for Your Majesty's help, how can Your Majesty ignore it, Elder Liu, you have to let us see Your Majesty to reassure us." ”

Elder Liu threw his cane to the ground, and 'Hu......h' Wu Qi spread out, his eyes blazing, "This is Your Majesty's order, if anyone wants to see His Majesty pass me first." ”

Elder Mu smiled and said, "Elder Liu is angry, we are just worried about Your Majesty, how dare we be rude to the elder, but the matter is too sudden, the elder should tell us the truth, so that we can rest assured." After speaking, he secretly glanced at Mengya.

Elder Liu said, "You don't have to ask, get out of here quickly." ”

Bai Ling said: "If the elder doesn't tell the reason, how can we leave with confidence, and the princess and all the elders are here, what else can't Elder Liu say, besides, such a big thing happened last night, and the elder guarded the dormitory to prevent us from seeing us, does the elder have other purposes?"

Hearing this, Elder Liu raised his cane, smashed it at Bai Ling, and shouted angrily, "I think you have a purpose. ”

Meng Ya hurriedly stepped forward to stop Elder Liu and said, "Elder is angry!"

Seeing Meng Yao blocking him, Elder Liu withdrew his crutches and said coldly, "You all go out for me, Your Majesty wants to see you appear." ”

Bai Ling reluctantly said: "You won't even let the princess see you, you must have put Your Majesty under house arrest!"

Before he finished speaking, Elder Liu had already pushed Meng Ya away, and swept towards Bai Ling with a cane, Bai Ling's body flashed back, dodged the thunderous blow, and said with a smile: "It seems that I was right!"

Elder Liu was even angrier, jumped up, and slashed at Bai Ling with another cane.

Bai Ling flew out of her long sleeves, rolled her cane like flowing water, and shouted: "Even if I fight for my life today, I will see Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the crutches were entangled, Elder Liu shook hard, wanting to get rid of it, he immediately felt that his body was sore, and he couldn't use his internal strength, his eyes turned to glare at Mengya, Mengya was ashamed, and said timidly: "I...... , I'm just worried about the mother king, Elder Liu don't blame me, I will solve the elder's poison when I see the mother king. "It turned out that when she stopped Elder Liu, she had sprinkled the Gu poison that Elder Mu had given her on Elder Liu's body.

Bai Ling's eyes were quick, and another long sleeve had rolled towards Elder Liu's body, Elder Liu forcibly turned his true qi, struggled to break the long sleeve rolled on the cane, jumped out, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a 'poof'.

Elder Mu said, "Princess, it's important for us to see Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he swept towards the dormitory, Mengya felt guilty, but the situation was urgent, so she had to follow.

Elder Liu was angry and wanted to chase after him, but he was entangled by Bai Ling, and Elder Feng saw the two fighting, although he persuaded each other, but no one was willing to listen, so he could only do it in a hurry on the side, and he couldn't intervene.

The guards heard Elder Liu's order and stepped forward to stop it, but how could they stop Elder Mu, a few ups and downs, Elder Mu had already rushed into the palace gate.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, it was empty, Elder Mu was familiar with the structure of the dormitory, and without waiting for Mengya, he went straight to the Baihua Pond where Li Manfang practiced, the Baihua Pond was the core of the palace, the water in the pond was formed by the dew absorbed by the leaves, it was pure and cool, and all kinds of exotic flowers bloomed around the pool, fragrant.

Elder Mu stopped in front of the Hundred Flowers Pond, bowed down and shouted, "Mu Chunbo has something important to ask to see Your Majesty!" Seeing that no one answered, Mu Chunbo took a few steps forward and shouted again: "Mu Chunbo has something important to ask to see Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty for permission!"

At this time, Mengya had come behind Mu Chunbo, did not stop, rushed to the edge of the pool, and shouted: "Mother ,......" stopped halfway through the shouting, only to see Li Manfang sitting in the water, her body has been wrapped in the vines born in the water, only her head is exposed, her face is like jade, she can be broken by blowing, although her eyes are closed, but with a kind of majesty, her appearance is somewhat similar to Mengya, but she has grace and beauty, and she does not see the autumn color.

Mu Chunbo's face leaned out from behind Mengya, staring at Li Manfang carefully, at this time Mengya shouted several times in a row, Li Manfang did not react, Mengya wanted to jump into the pool to check, but was stopped by Mu Chunbo.

Mu Chunbo's eyes showed a smug look, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty seems to be injured and is doing your best to get rid of poison. ”

What Meng Ya was worried about still happened, the mother king was indeed poisonous, and cried: "Is the mother king's injury serious?"

Mu Chunbo said: "It's very heavy, and Your Majesty's breath is very weak, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on." ”

Meng Ya said: "No matter what method you use, you must save the Mother King, Elder Mu, think of a way!"

Mu Chunbo suddenly sneered: "Your Majesty's supernatural powers can't save you, where can I do anything, not to mention that Your Majesty was harmed by the princess, isn't this ending what the princess wants?"

Mengya was stunned: "You...... You already know it!"
