Chapter Thirty-Nine: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

"Really?" Still with a look of disdain, I knew he didn't believe it.

"I know you don't believe it, but if you don't eat with him every day, you naturally can't find out. It's easy for you to kill me, but what's the good of that? But if I tell you the news, you may get a glimmer of clues, so why not? ”

"Haha, what a 'why not'! Then I will believe you one last time. When he had finished laughing, he said, "Tell me, what secret?" ”

Looking at the silver mask that was still glowing with cold light, I suddenly hesitated, I didn't know if my life would be lost immediately when I finished speaking, but if I didn't say that my life would definitely not be guaranteed, and someone like him who was not very patient was ...... Gritting his teeth, it seems that he can only gamble.

"The secret I found out was ...... The scars on the prince's face are actually fake. I whispered, taking a closer look at his reaction.

He was stunned for a moment, his eyes behind the mask were pitch black, I don't know if it was because he couldn't believe it, or if he was thinking something, anyway, it took a long time before he said, "Okay, I'll send someone to check, if you dare to lie to me...... Hum! After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed my stiff legs, and realized that I had fallen on my knees on the bed at some point, but this little life was saved for the time being, but I had to escape as soon as possible, or he would find out that I was lying to him...... The consequences are unimaginable. Thinking of this, I shuddered and shook my head, regardless of whether I could survive after escaping, I would escape first.

The next day, I woke up early, walked out the door, and found that there was no one watching over me...... Underestimate me so much? I don't know whether to rejoice or laugh at the masked man.

But before he could be happy, he bumped into the young man named Mori. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, he follows me every step of the way, and he goes wherever I go.

"Where's your master?" Strangely, instead of following his master, he has the leisure to play with me everywhere.

"My eldest brother, of course, went to have a tryst with his little beauty." I pouted, isn't it the warm jade girl in Chunyulou. I picked a purple flower and didn't care, but when Mori saw the thing in my hand, his eyes widened, and his eyes were already big, but now they were as big as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong?" I was too scared to move.

"Do you know what kind of flower this is?" He began to stutter as he spoke.

"What flowers?" More and more, I feel that the situation is not good.

He shook his head and sighed, and then sighed and shook his head, "This kind of flower is specially raised by the eldest brother, and he has already given an order - the picker will die." ”

I subconsciously threw the flowers far away, and then looked at the person in front of me with a pitiful expression. Although it was impossible to ask him to pretend that he didn't see it, there was still a hint of luck.

He continued to sigh, as if he had saved up all the sighs of the previous year to this time, "It's not that I don't help you, but that you are dead horizontally and vertically." "I don't understand, as long as he doesn't say no, will it be fine?

"This flower is highly poisonous, known as 'dark fragrance for a day', which means that the people you meet generally don't live for a day, do you think my eldest brother will raise some useless things?" He shook his head secretly.

I agree with his last sentence, the masked man really doesn't raise useless chess pieces.

"If I die, remember to help me collect the body, and remember to throw it away, otherwise it will not be good for the body to decompose and infect you." After saying that, he walked back without looking back.

Sitting on the stool in the room, he quietly looked at the poisonous hand, clenched his palms and spread them out, and found nothing unusual. Just when I was about to think that it might be that Maury guy was playing tricks on me, something suddenly appeared in my palm, first faintly, then gradually, and finally became a black mark.

It's true! The heart began to be afraid. Looking for a masked man to ask for an antidote, it is simply throwing himself into a net, and if he doesn't look for it, he will also die of poison. Maury was right, he had to die.

The black marks on the palms of the hands are getting bigger and bigger. I looked around and suddenly it occurred to me that this was a rare opportunity, and it happened that the masked man was not there. Although, it's another gamble.

This seems to be the room where I woke up yesterday, there are books and pen and ink in it, it should be his study. I picked up the plate of ink, smelled it and found that the ink smelled too strong, no, this must have been exposed as soon as I smelled it. I started rummaging through the shelves again, and sure enough, I found a small bottle that I didn't know what it contained. As soon as I opened it, I didn't smell it yet, and it was smoked.

It stinks! However, it is just right to mask the smell of the ink. I don't know if Maury is still outside, and then I mixed the contents of that vial with the ink as fast as I could, and the smell was ...... It's so sour!

When I was done, I started to "die......

It was a long wait, and as night approached, I heard footsteps coming in, followed by the sound of rushing out, and it didn't take long for a lot of people to come.

"Throw her far away, it stinks, remember to block her mouth and nose, don't be infected." The familiar voice is Mori.

"Yes!" Then there was a cacophony of footsteps.

I stiffened and held my breath, only to realize that I didn't need to hold my breath at all, because they wanted to stay away from me, so how could they test whether I was breathing?

After staggering for a long time, I suddenly felt that my body was thrown out heavily, it was really, it hurt so much! I gritted my teeth and endured it, and I couldn't fall short.

Until the sound of footsteps, the surroundings fell silent, and I still didn't dare to act rashly. It's just that there seems to be some howling sound around him, and the sound is getting louder and louder from far to near.

I was startled, my hairs stood on end, and I opened my eyes to a huge moon overhead. When I moved, the bones in my body that had not yet broken hurt and I grinned. When I was finally able to stand up, I discovered this unknown place...... There are a lot of bones!

Is this where they often throw their bodies? Don't dare to think about it anymore, immediately run up, you have to get out of this hellish place quickly!

I don't know how long I ran, but I finally found a little light, and I ran over excitedly, and finally saw a place where there were people.

Running all the way, I don't know if it's because I'm running too fast, or because of the poison attack in my hand, my head is always getting heavier and heavier, and then my eyes are getting more and more blurred......

There was a noise all around, far away, and getting farther and farther away......

Fog! Fog! It's a big fog!

I walked step by step, and I didn't know where I went, and I couldn't see what my next foot would be on, untilβ€”

"Suddenly ......"

I looked back and saw a familiar face, "Jerejour!" How did you end up here? Where is this? ”

He smiled and held out his hand, "I've been waiting for you here." ”

Then, all the fog was eerily gone, and I could see that I had come to the edge of a cliff! He was startled, and quickly reached over to grab him, but just as he was about to touch him, his ankle was suddenly grabbed by something, and he pulled it down hard, and when he turned around, he found that a person had emerged from under the cliff, and the person was wearing a silver mask, and the two bottomless black holes on the mask were actually ...... Masked Man!

I shouted at Yelujing on the edge of the cliff, "Jelujing save me!" But he just stood there stunned, expressionless, with a look at the stranger. I screamed, opened my eyes suddenly, and saw the unfamiliar curtains, where is this?

"Are you having nightmares?" A warm voice, somewhat familiar. I looked over, dumbfounded, and then couldn't laugh or cry - the eldest prince, Yeluhuang.

How did he end up here? Am I not dead yet? It's just that the current situation feels a little weird, first sent me back, and now picked it up? I sneered, I didn't care who he was this time, "Dear Lord Huang, you won't send me back again this time, will you?" ”

I'm afraid that I don't have to wait for him to send him away, and my life will be gone, this poison will die of poison in one day, and now the time is ...... I glanced out the window, it was already dawning, and suddenly I thought of something, and immediately spread out my palms...... Without! Nothing! Excitedly climbed out of bed, then ran to the window, and looked over and over in the sun's rays, indeed...... Without!

"It was I who asked Yinchuan for an antidote to detoxify your poison, and I won't send you back again." He explained.

I looked at him in surprise, "Yinchuan? ”

He "coughed" twice and said, "It's the man in the silver mask." ”

It dawned on me that the person who saw me fall into the water and didn't save me would suddenly become kind, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Princess Oude is really smart." He looked at me in admiration, but I only sneered in my heart, it turned out that I found out my identity, no wonder he would spend so much effort to save me, but it seems that he doesn't know that my princess is a fake.

Those brown eyes suddenly became extraordinarily deep. "I hope you can help me persuade the Pure Emperor to help me." Even if he didn't say exactly what this power was, I could guess a little bit that it should be those power struggles again, just like the emperor and the queen mother. Thinking of these two people, I sighed again, one is my mother-killing enemy, and the other persuades me to come to the Eastern Wu Dynasty for the sake of power.

It's just that now it is difficult to escape the fate of being someone else's pawn, from one pawn to another, and nothing has changed, but this time fortunately, this is an opportunity for me to find Yelujing.

Those eyes deepened, "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely help you return to the palace and return your freedom." ”

"Okay."

The next step is to see Jerod.
