As soon as her arm hurt, she turned back in horror, the poisonous snake like the king of Hades was close to bite her arm, and her eyes looked at her viciously, her whole body was like falling into an ice cave, cold and numb, she wanted to scream but couldn't say a word, and she was so frightened that she stayed on the spot like a fool······

In the next second, Wu Jinshao was nailed to the ground by a flying steel fork, her body was weak, she was about to fall but fell into a person's arms, the familiar ambergris came from her nose, she looked up in a daze, and saw an angry face.

Mu Lingzhi's face was almost distorted, and he looked at the person in his arms with hatred and gritted his teeth and roared: "Stupid woman, why are you there!" ”

No amount of anger he had could withstand the worry in his heart, looking at her gradually turning face, his eyes sank, he lowered his head and lips to the wound on her arm, and sucked it hard-

There was a gasping sound around, and everyone didn't expect that Mu Lingzhi would actually suck snake venom for a servant girl, and after everyone reacted from the shock, An Lirong was the first to rush up and cry while pulling him away: "Your Highness, don't do it, don't do it, you will die." ”

Gu Qing'er led a few concubines to rush forward to stop: "Your Highness, how can you ······ with a golden body?"

Everyone stepped forward to pull Mu Lingzhi away, he spit out the black blood in his mouth, and said coldly: "Get out of the way of the palace, whoever stops it again, I want her life." ”

The determination in his eyes made people dare not look directly, and Yu Ruyan was even more shocked than being bitten by Wu Jinshao, she never dreamed that Mu Lingzhi would do such a move to her. She knew the toxicity of Wu Jinshao, knew that she would definitely die, although she was lonely on the Huangquan Road, she didn't want to take his life, watching him sacrifice his life for herself, she was suddenly reluctant to die, and even more reluctant to let him die.

She opened her mouth and persuaded hard: "Your Highness, don't ······ for me"

"No matter how much you talk, I will kill you too!" Mu Lingzhi had lost his mind and couldn't listen to anyone's words at all, he watched her gradually weaken and weak appearance, like the morning dew under the scorching sun, slowly melting and disappearing, and his heart suddenly hurt so much that it was difficult to breathe. He pushed away the man who was pulling him, lowered his head and sucked at her wound again.

Tong Qian looked at his master incredulously, he knelt down in front of them and said with a pale face: "Master, let me come, let me help Xiaoqing take drugs, you must not be fine!" However, no matter how much he pleaded, Mu Lingzhi didn't raise his head to help Yu Ruyan suck the venom from the wound one bite after another.

Doctor Wu squeezed through the crowd and came to Yu Ruyan, seeing that the blood spit out of his mouth was already red, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness doesn't have to suck it anymore, the girl's blood is already red, presumably the venom has been cleared, let's let the servants help His Highness and the girl take a good look." ”

When Mu Lingzhi heard what he said, his heart relaxed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "You can help her take a look." ”

Doctor Wu glanced at him worriedly, sighed, and had to obediently help Yu Ruyan take the pulse. After a moment, he suddenly frowned and shook his head.

Seeing his expression, Mu Lingzhi's heart, which had just been relaxed for a moment, lifted up again, he couldn't care about his numb mouth and the leader who was gradually dizzy, and said anxiously: "How is it?" Is it because the venom hasn't been cleaned up? ”

Doctor Wu said strangely: "No, Your Highness misunderstood, the slave just felt strange, there was no trace of poisoning on the girl's body, and there was no danger in the peace of the pulse." It shouldn't be, it stands to reason that even if His Royal Highness has helped her remove the toxins from the wound, it is impossible to remove all of them, and there will be some remnants, but the slave can't detect it in the girl's vein, it's really strange! ”

Mu Lingzhi, who has always been smart and fast, didn't care about the questions in his words at this time, and only after hearing the words 'the pulse is peaceful and there is no danger', a big stone fell in his heart, and his expression relaxed before he realized the discomfort of his body.

And An Lirong on the side glared at Yu Ruyan fiercely, and impatiently shook his hand and handed it to Dr. Wu, her voice trembled: "Take a look for Your Highness!" ”

Doctor Wu didn't dare to delay and gaze at Mu Lingzhi's pulse, and after a while, he said solemnly: "The toxin on His Highness's body is heavier than the one on the girl's body······"

Before the words fell, An Lirong couldn't bear it anymore when she heard this, and fell to the ground, and her nails under her sleeves were going to bleed-

If Her Royal Highness has three longs and two shorts, she will lose her life and break Yuruyan's corpse into ten thousand pieces!

Yu Ruyan has been holding Mu Lingzhi's hands tightly, the coolness on his hands is getting heavier and heavier, making her tremble, she looked at him tremblingly, only to see that his face faintly appeared a burst of black purple, his face seemed to be shrouded in endless smoke to see unreal, and before Dr. Wu finished speaking, he suddenly closed his eyes and fell in front of everyone······

Yu Ruyan has been imprisoned in the firewood room of the palace for three days. After Mu Lingzhi fell, An Lirong also fainted, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to rush to her and slap her hard, and then locked her in the firewood room, if she wasn't worried that Mu Lingzhi would punish her when she woke up, she wanted to hang Yu Ruyan immediately.

In the past three days, no one has sent her a grain of rice or a mouthful of water, but hunger and thirst are nothing, and now in her heart, what she is most worried about is Mu Lingzhi's condition. After she was imprisoned, she didn't know any news from the outside, and she watched the sunrise and sunset every day, and her heart was like tormenting in a frying pan.

On the night of the fourth day, she was dying of hunger, her lips were dry and bleeding, her throat was burning pain, her mind was muddy, and countless illusions flashed in her mind, she seemed to see the training ground of the military camp again, Mu Lingzhi was like a god with one enemy and five defeated five tiger generals, she thought happily in her heart, great, he didn't die, he was still so good!

Huaying and Kuang Qinqin carried the food box and quietly came to the firewood room in the backyard, and before entering the door, Kuang Qinqin asked Huaying again: "Are you sure you want to help her?" ”

Hua Ying's slender eyebrows and eyes were like the hazy smoke in Jiangnan, and she sighed slightly and said: "In fact, she is also a victim of the incident of Ziluo Courtyard, it is only to blame His Highness for caring too much about her, now that His Highness has woken up, why should we see death and not save it?" ”

Kuang Qinqin's expression was cold, and he said coldly: "Now the concubine hates her to death, if you let her know that you help her in private, I'm afraid that you won't even think about the most ordinary days in the future." In fact, what does her life and death have to do with you? ”

Huaying smiled faintly, took her hand and said, "You don't pretend to be ruthless in front of me, others don't know if I don't understand." If you really don't want to care, why come with me? ”

Kuang Qinqin's eyes flashed slightly, and he avoided her gaze and said coldly: "Since you're here, let's go in quickly, don't let people show up." ”

The two quietly came to the door of the firewood room, and secretly looked in from the crack in the door, only to see Yu Ruyan lying in the woodpile, Huaying couldn't help but shake her head and sigh softly, took out food and water from the food box and stuffed it into the crack in the door, and said softly: "Girl, eat something quickly!" ”

Suddenly hearing the human voice, Yu Ruyan, whose heart was like ashes, suddenly got up from the ground, stumbled to the door, and asked anxiously in a hoarse voice: "How is Your Highness?" Is snake venom resolved? Woke up? ”

Hua Ying and Kuang Qinqin both wore thick cloaks that made it impossible to see their appearance clearly, looking at the people in the room who were still worried about Mu Lingzhi, Hua Ying's heart suddenly soured, and said softly: "Don't worry, Your Highness has woken up, fortunately, the snake venom has not been stained with blood but remains in the body, and the residual poison is still asleep, but his life has finally been saved." ”

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, her legs fell to the ground with weakness, and she snorted at the two people outside the house and said, "Thank you for your kindness, you will repay it in the future." ”

Kuang Qinqin snorted coldly and said: "Don't think about repaying the favor, it's hard to say if you have the life to get out of here!" ”

Her words made Yu Ruyan's expression stagnate, and after a while, she smiled miserably, her flowing eyes had already dried up into gray sand, how could she not know her current situation, but as long as Mu Lingzhi could survive well, other things, including her own life and death, seemed to be not very important.

When leaving the backyard, Hua Ying was puzzled: "Since Your Highness is no longer in danger of her life, why do you still say that her life is difficult to protect?" ”

Kuang Qinqin looked at the calm palace at night with a cold expression, and said with a sneer: "After this incident, I'm afraid that she has already become a thorn in the side of some people who have to be removed, so whether Her Highness wakes up or not, she has to die!" ”

Mu Lingzhi's poisoning and coma had already alarmed the concubines in the palace, and Concubine Xie came to the palace to visit in person, and after knowing the whole story, her face was so gloomy that she was about to drip water. When she left the palace, she said to An Lirong, who was only willing to send her out of the palace: "The autumn weather is dry and dry, you have to pay attention to the fire in the house recently, especially the firewood room that accumulates firewood, you must pay more attention, do you understand?" ”

An Lirong's whole body sank, and a burst of ecstasy surged in her heart, but she said with trepidation on her face: "My daughter-in-law has written it down." ”

The Yunsong courtyard has been brightly lit for several days, Mu Ziyue stepped into the house by moonlight, and when she saw that everyone was there, she only greeted An Lirong slightly and then went straight to Mu Lingzhi's bedside, and sat down, tears already raining down.

His wives and concubines all sat aside, but she sat in the closest place to him, holding a silk handkerchief to carefully wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, like a description of a hostess, and she was so unconvinced in the eyes of all the wives and concubines. However, no one dared to contradict her.

An Lirong suppressed the anger in her heart and stepped forward and said, "Miss Mu is a guest in the house, so can you serve His Highness personally?" Please go to the outer hall for tea, and invite you to come when Your Highness wakes up. ”

Mu Ziyue's beautiful face is like a pear blossom with rain, but her eyes are extremely arrogant. She didn't look at An Lirong, and said indifferently: "I have nothing to see with Ling Zhi, I want to guard him here to wake up, I must be, the first person he wants to see after he wakes up is also me." ”

The words that are not salty or light choked An Lirong couldn't advance or retreat, and she was so angry that she couldn't even reply, and everyone else looked at each other, never imagined that the first beauty who was famous in the Eastern Capital was such an arrogant and unreasonable person.

In fact, this is Mu Ziyue's true nature, her gentleness and elegance will only be reflected in front of the people she thinks are important, she has identified herself as the future crown princess, of course, she prefers that the future prince is Mu Lingzhi rather than Mu Yunzhi, so she will not look at these little side concubines and concubines.

There was silence in the room, and the atmosphere was inexplicably embarrassing, and Mu Ziyue still didn't realize it, held Mu Lingzhi's hand tightly, and kept asking Dr. Wu how his condition was, and told Tong Qian and the others to cheer up and take good care of him, without feeling how embarrassed she was as a girl who had not left the cabinet.

That night, Mu Lingzhi woke up from his slumber, An Lirong hurriedly happily stepped forward and brought tea to him to drink, but was stopped by Mu Ziyue halfway, she smiled at her, took the tea in her hand and said, "Let me come." ”

In front of so many people, An Lirong had to suppress the anger in her heart again and not fight with her, Mu Ziyue helped Mu Lingzhi to get up, he looked at her and asked, "Why are you here so late?" ”

Mu Ziyue's tears came out before she could speak, and she cried and said angrily: "How can you be so uncaring for yourself, if something happens to you, what should I do?" ”

She was already extremely beautiful, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was even more unbearable, Mu Lingzhi smiled softly and rarely: "Aren't I fine, you don't have to worry about me." ”

After speaking, his eyes swept over the people in the room, but he didn't see Yu Ruyan's figure, and couldn't help but ask An Lirong, "What about her?" ”

Of course, An Lirong knew who he was asking, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Xiaoqing is temporarily locked in the firewood room······"

"Why are you locking her up? What crime did she commit? Mu Lingzhi looked at the woman in front of him with gloomy eyes, and ordered coldly: "Release her immediately!" ”

An Lirong's hot heart fell into the ice cave in an instant, is she innocent? Doesn't it matter if she caused you to go through the ghost gate?

When did he treat himself like this? She is just a military prostitute from a low background, but she is the side concubine he is marrying!

Her always gentle eyes flashed with a fierce murderous aura, and the corners of her mouth imperceptibly hooked up a cruel sneer - it didn't matter, why did she need to eat a dead man's vinegar again!

Suddenly, in the dark night, the palace burst into a sky full of red light, and the rolling fire reflected half of the sky in the palace, and even the windows of Yunsong Courtyard were reflected red by the firelight, as if there was a terrible layer of blood. Everyone looked at the firelight outside in astonishment, and Mu Ling's heart welled up with a bad premonition, he turned over and jumped off the bed and ran towards the door, Mu Ziyue couldn't stop it if he wanted to. He walked to the door and bumped into the people who came in from outside. It was one of the guards in the backyard who came in, and he knelt on the ground with a pale face and sweating profusely, and said in a panic: "Your Highness, it's not good, the firewood room in the backyard is out of water." ”

A fire burned the firewood house of the palace and several houses around it, and by the time the people arrived, it had burned to the ground. Everything but the collapsed walls was burned to ashes.

Mu Lingzhi looked at the ashes in front of him in a daze, he couldn't believe that she went with a fire like this, his body shook and almost fell, and he was quickly supported by the copper coin hand, An Lirong stepped forward and said anxiously: "Your Highness, you just woke up, and your body is not very good, hurry back to the house and lie down······"

Hearing this, he suddenly turned around, his eyes under the firelight looked at her like bloody blades, and said word by word: "If you live to see people, you can see corpses when you die, if you can't find her, you will die with her!" ”

An Lirong didn't expect Mu Lingzhi to blame her for the fire without asking. Also, she is the head of the palace, and she cannot escape the responsibility for such a disaster.

She looked extremely flustered, looking at Mu Lingzhi's terrifying appearance, her heart was pounding, but when she thought of Xie Guifei's words, she was calm again, no matter what, she was doing what Niangniang said, how could she protect herself.

She fell to her knees at his feet with a thud, the floor scorched hot by the firelight. She was worried in her heart, looking at his expression, she was afraid that she would not have time to wait for Concubine Xie to save her, she would be dead in the hands of Mu Ling.

Mu Lingzhi refused to leave the backyard, how could he accept this fact, she had obviously escaped the poison of Wu Jinshao, why was she buried in the fire in the blink of an eye?

The residual heat of the ashes made his eyes red, and his heart was sometimes roasted in the fire, and sometimes he fell into the ice cave of ten thousand years, and he was in pain. He could still feel the body temperature she had left on him, but she ······

Tong Qian led a group of guards to search for Yu Ruyan's body in the ashes, but they searched for it, but nothing appeared, so they had to say stupidly: "Your Highness, this fire is so big, presumably... Presumably the girl, she has turned into ashes... Yes!! ”

He watched in horror as someone came out from under the backyard wall, looking like he was a ghost, but in his eyes, he was a ghost.

Yu Ruyan's cheeks were sunken, her eyes were dry, and she slowly walked out of the shadows of the wall, and knelt in front of An Lirong with a thud.

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, Mu Lingzhi thought he was dreaming, but An Lirong screamed in fright, and crawled behind Mu Lingzhi, thinking that it was Yu Ruyan's ghost who came to ask for his life.

didn't wait for everyone to come back to their senses from the shock, but they saw the 'female ghost' on the ground snorting at An Lirong, and said gratefully: "Thank you Niangniang for releasing the slave maid, if you are a step late, I am most afraid that the slave and maid will be buried in the fire." ”

Tong Qian stepped forward to probe her snort, jumped up happily and said, "Your Highness, Miss Xiaoqing is not dead, it's okay!"

Mu Lingzhi's closed heart seemed to be bright again when he saw the sun, and he controlled his excitement and asked, "You're not dead?" What the hell is going on? ”

Yu Ruyan smiled indifferently and said: "All this thanks to the side concubine Niangniang, she asked the slave maid to be released out of the firewood room, but I didn't expect the slave maid to see that this place was on fire as soon as she left the firewood room, if it wasn't for the maid, the slave would have become ashes now." ”

Her face was haggard, but her expression was extremely indifferent, and she looked at An Lirong with a frightened and puzzled face, but her gratitude did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

Outsiders all believed her words, and Mu Lingzhi personally helped An Lirong up from the ground and said, "It's the palace that blames you." ”

An Lirong's whole body trembled like chaff, and she pressed the fear in her heart to calm down: "This... This is a matter for the concubines, and His Royal Highness does not need to blame himself. ”

She clearly understood in her heart that she only sent people to set fires but never let people go!

How did she escape from the firewood room? Knowing that it was he who wanted her life, why did he thank her in turn?

The countless questions in her heart made her heart ache, but she didn't dare to ask the questions in her heart, even if she knew that Yu Ruyan had a problem, she had to cooperate with her lies to act hypocritically in front of Mu Lingzhi.

Mu Ziyue originally thought that Yu Ruyan would definitely die this time, but she never expected her to survive, she suppressed the anger in her heart and stepped forward to take Yu Ruyan's hand and smiled: "It's great that it's okay, my sister doesn't know how scared I was when I heard the news just now!" ”

When she said this, she turned her back on everyone, her words smiling but her description stiff and indifferent, and the disgust in her eyes flashed.

As if she was possessed by Wu Jinshao again, Yu Ruyan's whole body was tense and uncomfortable, and she felt extremely disgusting. She was about to withdraw her hand, but was tightly pulled by Mu Ziyue.

The matter in the backyard was handed over to the next person to deal with, and the group returned to Yunsong Courtyard, she was pulled by Mu Ziyue and walked at the end, Mu Ziyue's cold nails pinched deeply into her arms, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said slowly: "Recently, my sister has suffered a lot. I heard that the last time I said goodbye to the Jade Pavilion, you disappeared for most of the day inexplicably, and after returning home, you also brought a body of injury, and your sister won't encounter anything bad, right? ”

Oh, you have to pretend to be a fool in front of you for the trick you manipulated, you are taking me for a fool!

Yu Ruyan smiled slowly and said: "Miss Mu's news is really well-informed, how can the affairs of the palace not escape your ears and eyes, it seems that what the people in the palace said is true!" ”

"What really? What are the people in the palace saying about me behind my back? Vanity people often care most about what others think of her, and sure enough, Mu Ziyue was successfully attracted by her to change the topic.

Mu Ziyue has been unique since she was born because of her noble background, and when she was eight years old, she was appointed by the first emperor as the crown princess of the first prince Mu Yizhi, if it weren't for the accident ten years ago, maybe she would now be the queen of the main palace under one person and ten thousand people.

The accident ten years ago has changed the fate of too many people and changed her fate, but she was born a proud and high-minded person, and she was nurtured as the mother of the country since she was a child, and the instilled ideas made her have only one thought in this life, that is, to be a queen and become the mother of the country.

This is also the reason why she has been hovering between the prince and Mu Lingzhi after the first prince, she likes Mu Lingzhi, but she can't let go of the crown princess.

"I didn't say anything, but I just said that although Miss Mu and His Royal Highness have not tied the knot, she is already acting as the third princess, and she is also full of care about all things in the palace... Actually, this is also a good thing, Miss Mu will enter the palace sooner or later, and sooner or later, she should worry more about the palace. Yu Ruyan quietly watched Mu Ziyue's face become more and more ugly, she wanted to know, between the prince and Mu Lingzhi, which one did she choose?

Hearing such words, Mu Ziyuehua's face became pale and ugly, the royal family attaches great importance to reputation, if such words are allowed to reach the ears of the crown prince or the emperor, I am afraid that not only will the crown princess's position be unsafe, but let the emperor know that she is picking and choosing among his sons, and she is afraid that her life will be at risk!

She has always boasted that she is smart, and she is good at doing things properly, and she is so unhappy that she can take the position of the prince in the end, and then she will be able to reap the throne of the prince, so she has not promised the prince positively, but between the two brothers······

"Nonsense!" Her face turned from blue to white, and she said, "I just have a great relationship with Ling Zhi since I was a child, and I treat him as an elder ······brother."

"So, Miss Mu is actually ruthless to His Highness?" Yu Ruyan pretended to be surprised, but she felt a burst of sadness for Mu Lingzhi in her heart - it was really sad that such a selfish and indifferent person, who clings to the rich and noble, was treasured in his heart like a treasure!

"Since Miss Mu is ruthless to His Highness, why do you still regard me as a fierce rival?" Yu Ruyan didn't give her a chance to breathe, her cold eyes looked at her fixedly, although she already knew the answer in her heart, she still had to question it face to face.

As soon as the hand she was holding was loosened, Mu Ziyue suddenly threw her hand away, her bright apricot eyes glared at her fiercely, and she suddenly understood that the despicable servant girl in front of her was actually playing around with her own words!
