Chapter 20 Risking one's life
Jiang Ziyu took advantage of the night to prepare to leave the city, Nan Chenqing was not worried that he deliberately changed his clothes to escort her, but unfortunately Jiang Ziyu had just climbed over the city wall, and the three of them intercepted her.
"Princess." Morning Star saluted respectfully, Jiang Ziyu stared at him vigilantly, and his tone was a little colder than usual: "What?" Are you going to let me go? ”
Morning Star hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said anxiously: "The princess has misunderstood, Morning Star came to ask the princess to go back to the palace to treat the princess." ”
Jiang Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Diagnosis and treatment?" What happened to Nan Huaifeng? ”
"Suspected of being poisoned, the prince is always in a trance these days, and he is particularly irritable, the prince also said that his brain has been heavy in recent days, and the imperial doctor has only said that the prince is overworked and underrested, but his subordinates see that this is not the case."
Morning Star took the opportunity to tell all his suspicions, including his suspicion that someone was trying to force the princess away, and Jiang Ziyu leaned on the side of the city wall and thought about it.
"Girl, it's hard to leave again if you don't leave at this time." Nan Chenqing whispered, and Liuying immediately glared at him, stepped forward and squeezed him away, reaching out and pulling Jiang Ziyu's sleeve: "Sister Princess, the prince is not an impulsive and brainless person, there must be a reason for what he did today." ”
Jiang Ziyu couldn't see Liuying's aggrieved and begging appearance, and he had already softened his heart a little.
"Princess, if you go back to the prince this time, if he insists on doing so, then his subordinates will do their best to ensure that you leave the capital." Chenxing said solemnly, Jiang Ziyu was still a little entangled in his heart.
"Just you? Can you stop my third brother? Nan Chenqing added with squinted eyes on the side, Jiang Ziyu did think so in his heart, if Nan Huaifeng insisted on killing her, I am afraid that Morning Star would not be able to protect her. But...... Will Nan Huaifeng really kill her?
As he spoke, an arrow suddenly sounded in the direction of the Forbidden Palace, and Liuying looked sideways and frowned: "It's Hanlou, what's going on in the Palace?" ”
Morning Star reacted the fastest, and immediately looked at Zipo and said, "You go and take a look." ”
Zipo nodded and rushed in the direction of the palace, and Morning Star continued to stay here and persuaded Jiang Ziyu with Liuying.
"Princess, if the prince refuses to believe you, how can he give you the jade pendant? It's been these days, don't you know what kind of person the prince is? Chenxing suddenly remembered the matter of Yu Pei, and these words reminded Jiang Ziyu.
At the same time, it also reminded Jiang Ziyu of Nan Huaifeng's goodness, many times it was Nan Huaifeng who saved her at critical moments, moved out of Moxu to find a way back for her, and used his internal strength to help her support the scene, knowing what she hated, let everyone pay attention, and he never interfered with himself.
Obviously, there are so many suspicions on her body, Nan Huaifeng still gave her the jade pendant that symbolizes her identity, whether it is to use it or to trust, Jiang Ziyu feels that she must go back this time.
"That's it, I owe him so much, just pay it off at once." Jiang Ziyu shook his head, looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "Thank you today, I will go on my own after that, you go back first." ”
Nan Chenqing pondered for a moment and said, "I'll send you, if the situation is not right, I can still pick you up outside." ”
"You don't have to, it's my business." Jiang Ziyu didn't know why the Seventh Prince was so good to her, she just didn't want to drag him into the water.
Nan Chenqing smiled chicly, stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Ziyu's waist and jumped under the city wall: "Life is in the world, and it is difficult to find a confidant. ”
After Jiang Ziyu landed, he looked at him in a daze - is he a confidant?
Morning Star and Liuying followed, Liuying kept glaring at Nan Chenqing fiercely and childishly, and Morning Star touched his nose as if he hadn't seen anything. When the group of four was on the way back to the palace, Zipo stopped them head-on.
"The prince has entered the palace and said that the emperor is seriously ill, will there be any fraud in this?" Zipo is also very careful in dealing with people, Liuying doesn't know what to do, so she can only pull Jiang Ziyu's sleeve with one hand, for fear that she will leave again.
Morning Star looked up at Jiang Ziyu, how to decide at this time only she can make up her own mind.
"Morning Star, do you have a waist card that can enter and exit the palace?" Jiang Ziyu thought for a moment and had made up his mind in his heart, Chenxing nodded in response, Nan Chenqing sighed and said, "I can also take you into the palace." ”
Jiang Ziyu bowed his head lightly and handed Nan Huaifeng's jade pendant to Chenxing: "Give me your waist card, you take the jade pendant to the suburbs of Beijing to transfer troops, I will take Zi Po Liuying into the palace, and the arrow is a letter, and when I see the arrow, I will immediately transfer troops to surround the imperial city." ”
Chenxing was stunned for a moment, and some didn't understand why, Jiang Ziyu simply explained: "King Rui wants to return to Beijing, what will you do if you are the queen mother?" ”
"My subordinates understand, and I will do it immediately." Chenxing instantly knew Jiang Ziyu's worries, if the prince was really poisoned, only the queen mother could harm him at this juncture. As soon as the emperor and the prince died, it was logical for King Rui to succeed to the throne by relying on the power of the queen mother.
Morning Star hurried out of the city, and Jiang Ziyu and Nan Chenqing rushed to the palace with Liuying and Zipo.
They entered the palace quite smoothly, the forbidden army guarding the door had never seen Jiang Ziyu, and because Nan Chenqing was there, everyone only thought that this was the seventh princess, and they didn't think about it.
Liuying and Zipo's weapons were handed over, and after entering the palace gate, Jiang Ziyu went straight to Chengqian Palace.
"Princess, the guards are strictly forbidden, what should I do?" The four of them lay on the wall in the distance, hiding in the dark and looking at the Chengqian Palace.
Jiang Ziyu frowned, lowered his voice for a moment and ordered: "You two took the guard card of the palace and said that you wanted to see the prince, and I took the opportunity to sneak in." ”
"What about me?" Nan Chenqing pointed to himself, what was he going to do?
Jiang Ziyu thought for a while and said casually: "You just go to the imperial dining room to steal some food for me, I'm hungry." ”
Nan Chenqing's face was black, when was she still in the mood to eat?
Liuying and Zipo had already gone to the front door of the Chengqian Hall as planned, and the guards there really didn't let them in, Liuying made a fuss and lured away the guards around him, and Jiang Ziyu took the opportunity to sneak in.
According to her memory, she found the emperor's residence, pierced the sleeping hole of the gatekeeper with a bone-soaked needle, and then quietly entered the dormitory.
"Aunt Huang!" There was a light in the little emperor's eyes, he stepped on the ground barefoot regardless of etiquette, took her hand and walked to the bed: "Aunt Huang, come and see Uncle Huang." ”
Jiang Ziyu asked the emperor to sit on the soft floor, she walked to the side of the bed and saw that Nan Huaifeng's brows were furrowed, and the green tendons were bulging, as if she was very uncomfortable.
She stretched out her hand to take the pulse, but found that the poison in Nan Huaifeng was not simple, it was a poison containing mandala flowers and wood gallbladders. She instantly remembered the strange dim sum in Nan Huaifeng's study, which was the smell of mandala flowers and wood gall blending and leaving it for too long.
I also suddenly understood why Nan Huaifeng was always in a trance, irritable and unable to think, all because the effects of these two poisons were playing their role.
"Aunt Huang, Uncle Huang, he's going to be fine, right?" The little emperor's voice was low, but it was full of countless fears and uneasiness.
Jiang Ziyu turned around to comfort him, and said softly: "With me, naturally there is nothing to do, can you tell me what he has eaten and drunk since he came?" ”
"Uncle Huang didn't enter anything since he came, but Uncle Huang was very strange when he saw me, he was in a trance when he saw that I was fine, and then he had a sudden look of realization, and then he suddenly fainted."
The emperor was indeed frightened enough, he desperately shouted to the palace people but no one answered, so he could only drag Nan Huaifeng with his thin body and move him to the bed.
"Rush to the heart, I see." Jiang Ziyu finally understood the role of wood gallbladder, this large amount of wood gallbladder is very easy to make people's temperament become irritable and uncontrollable, Nan Huaifeng must have known that he was being calculated after seeing that the emperor was fine, and suddenly he was too anxious to let the poison speed up the speed of integrating into the bloodline.
Jiang Ziyu took out a delicate porcelain bottle from his purse, poured out two pills inside, and then pinched Nan Huaifeng's mouth and stuffed it directly.
The little emperor poured tea from the side and brought it over, Jiang Ziyu sniffed it and confirmed that it was non-toxic before pouring it into Nan Huaifeng's mouth, a set of actions was extremely rude, she was not a gentle person.
"Girl, the Queen Mother is on her way here." Nan Chenqing walked in from the door, put the snacks from the imperial dining room on the table, and then looked at Nan Huaifeng on the bed and smacked his tongue: "Yo, it's really poisoned." ”
"Go tell Flowing Shadow and Zipo to let off the arrow." Jiang Ziyu didn't have time to talk to him at this time, Nan Chenqing sighed, and he was so happy that he was sent.
Jiang Ziyu turned around and walked to the bed, these two antidote pills went down, and he didn't know if they could save his life. She thought about looking at the ancient book in the space again, and reached out to take the pulse.
However, Nan Huaifeng turned his hand and held her, his eyes opened in a daze, and his eyes were still blurry: "Why are you back?" ”
Jiang Ziyu was stunned, it stands to reason that he is quite poisoned at the moment, and he should not be able to see and recognize people, and then asked: "How do you know that it is me." ”
"Your hands are so cold, you shouldn't come back if you run away." Nan Huaifeng relied on his strong mind to talk to Jiang Ziyu at this time, he was accidentally tricked this time, and Jiang Ziyu might not be able to escape when he came back.
"You think I want to come back?" Jiang Ziyu refused to admit that she had softened her heart towards Nan Huaifeng, knowing that this act was auspicious and unlucky, just because of the trust and warmth he had given.
"I'm sorry." Nan Huaifeng apologized in a deep voice, there was still a bit of sincerity in his tone, after saying this, he fainted again, Jiang Ziyu stretched out his hand to probe the pulse again, and the only hint given to her in the ancient book was silver needles to remove poison.
Arrows rang outside, the Queen Mother had already arrived at the Chengqian Palace, Jiang Ziyu took off Nan Huaifeng's shirt according to the human body acupoint map in the ancient book, carefully controlled the bone immersion needle to pierce a few acupoints, and then looked at the little emperor and said, "Hide." ”
The little emperor nodded but did not hide, but stood in front of Nan Huaifeng's bed like a little guard.
Jiang Ziyu's gloomy face went out of the dormitory, and the Queen Mother had already walked under the steps.
"Forbidden Princess." The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Ziyu with a restrained mood and was a little surprised, but in the blink of an eye, she understood that the guard at the door was afraid that she had arranged it.
"The forbidden king is not feeling well and doesn't see anyone, the queen mother, please go back." Jiang Ziyu's tone was respectful, but his eyes were full of frost.
The Queen Mother chuckled and wanted to go inside, Jiang Ziyu unceremoniously directly released the Heavenly Silk around him, and said coldly: "The Queen Mother, stop, you also saw the arrow just now, and the millions of soldiers of the Forbidden King are already on the way to surround the Forbidden City at this moment." ”
"You, you're going to rebel?" The Queen Mother had a little fierceness in her eyes, Jiang Ziyu smiled and said: "Whoever wants to rebel knows it, in short, the forbidden king will not withdraw his troops for a day before he wakes up in the palace, oh yes, King Rui should still be on the way back to Beijing." ”
Jiang Ziyu's eyes were full of threats, and the Queen Mother was shocked - she even knew about Yi'er's return to Beijing?
"Besieging the Imperial City is a capital offense!" The Queen Mother still refused to retreat, Jiang Ziyu didn't care at all: "Since I dare to break into the palace, I have made all the preparations, and Niangniang, you'd better go back and pray that Nan Huaifeng is okay, otherwise you still have King Rui and the people who stop me in the palace, I won't let any of them go." ”
Jiang Ziyu's murderous intent has already risen, and it is not really for Nan Huaifeng to say this, but because she is disgusted with these people who calculate her.
The silver needle on Nan Huaifeng's body in the house has changed color at this moment, and the Queen Mother clenched her fists and gathered all the unwillingness and ruthlessness under her eyes, Jiang Ziyu's aura was full of killing intent and did not back down, and the entire palace was full of sabre-rattling gloom, and there was a posture of mountain rain coming and the wind was full of buildings.
