Chapter 041: Assassination

Her eyes were sharp and she saw an obvious blood mark on her left arm, and she was anxious to step forward, and a group of people in civilian clothes holding long swords suddenly jumped out of the surroundings.

"Ninth Sister...... Murong Ze's hand holding the corner of the lost pearl's clothes was slightly tight, and his immature voice was slightly uneasy.

When several black-clothed people heard that something was wrong, the long sword immediately approached, her pupils shrank, and she immediately let go of Murong Ze's hand and pushed him towards the lawn.

Seeing the long sword stabbing at her, she stepped back and stepped back, but she didn't expect to pounce......

"Ninth Sister ......" turned over and saw the petite figure falling, Murong Ze wanted to rush up, but someone grabbed his arm......

The moment her body fell, a sour pain pressed straight to her chest, her vision was blurred, and she still clearly saw a crescent white figure jumping down together......

……

The deep pool under the waterfall is filled with a series of rattling sounds, even though the continuous stream rushes straight down.

Murong Xi struggled out of the level, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and looked around after clearing his vision, this place was still a jungle bush, but there were no pursuers. Then he knew that there must be a pool of water in the direction where the stream flows.

It's just that......

"Lost Pearl...... The missing pearl ......" whispered a few words, but found that no one answered, could it be that he couldn't swim?

With a frown, Murong Xi immediately plunged into the water.

……

Luckily there was a pool at the bottom of the cliff, otherwise she would have fallen to her death.

But, now......

A blister rolled through her nose and bent over to pull her calf, which was stuck in the crack in the stone. She used to hold her breath in the river a lot, but now she can hold it for so long, but if her calf can't be pulled out again, she will really be drowned!

Her eyes hurt so much that she was dying, and she didn't have the strength to pull out her calves anymore......

Blurred vision, a white shadow came into view. The bead waved at him with wide eyes, he had already spotted himself, and hurried in, sensing that something was wrong with her, and looked down her body, and saw her calf caught in the crack in the stone.

Bent over to help her pull out her calves, but the bead grabbed his arm and pressed the back of his head with one hand, and by the time he reacted, her lips had already fallen......

Gripped his lips and tried to pry his teeth open with his tongue, he knew what she was trying to do, reached out and pressed her head, and poured into her mouth.

And the feet of the lost pearl also broke free in this instant......

The two of them both struggled to come forward, the missing pearl was choked, coughed violently, and the man who grabbed her arm hurriedly picked her up and slowly walked onto the stone bank.

"Ahem......" The water was choked out, and the bead suddenly remembered Murong Ze, reached out and grabbed Murong Xi's arm, she said with a little excitement: "Ze'er, where is Ze'er?" ”

But before the man in front of him could reply, his whole heavy body fell heavily on her......

"Brother Huang...... The imperial brother ......" was startled, and his hands weakly held his handsome face, and found that his lips were purple and his face was pale. With a trembling heart, she looked down at his shoulder, the wound that had fallen on his arm......

My heart sank, and I was more sure of what I guessed.

He's poisoned! The assassin's sword is smeared with poison!

Lost looked around, except for a jungle that stretched out as far as the eye could see, and a stone mountain, she looked up at the waterhole......

What should I do if a touch of soreness spreads in my chest?

Ze'er doesn't know what to do now? If something happened to him, how should she explain to Concubine Liu and her father?

Whereas......

lowered his eyes to look at the man lying in his arms, and now he even jumped off the cliff with her in order to protect her and Ze'er from being poisoned......

She took a deep breath, only to catch a glimpse of a brown figure passing by......

Apricot eyes widened slightly, and she hurriedly shouted......

*********************************************

"Doctor, how is my brother's condition?" As soon as the old doctor finished taking the pulse, the missing pearl immediately stepped forward, and saw a sigh on the face covered with traces of time, her heart was like being pressed by a big stone, the doctor didn't speak, she also learned about Murong Xi's situation from the look on his face.

I saw that the old doctor shook his head, "The old man is not good at medicine, and he has been practicing medicine for decades, and he has never seen such a poison." Girl, you'd better ask for another high-level job. With that, the old man put on the medicine box and walked out of the humble house.

"Dr. Chen......" Seeing this, the woman who was feeding the livestock in the yard immediately greeted her, "Dr. Chen......

"I'm sorry, Ah San, the old man can't help you!" With that, the old man shook his head and left.

With her eyes blazing, she sat down beside the bed.

The woman in the courtyard followed, stretched out her hand and patted her on the shoulder, "Girl, your brother will definitely be auspicious......

Zhuzhu turned his head to her and showed a bitter smile, pursed his lips and said nothing.

In fact, I was very grateful to the two of them, next to the waterhole, if it wasn't for the woman's husband who saved them by chopping wood, she and Murong Xi would have died in it.

And just now, the woman gave herself a rough introduction, the place where she lives is called Chenjia Village, and the people in the village are surnamed Chen. However, although it is not far from the capital, it ......

Murong Xi was hit by such an unknown poison, and for a while, she didn't know how to go back to the city and enter the palace......

The pearl stared at the pale man on the bed, and a touch of soreness ran through his chest. She reached out to hold the man's broad palm, and couldn't help but pray in her heart: Please don't have anything, don't have anything......

"Girl, come and eat something, you haven't swallowed anything in a day." Aunt Chen walked behind her, with a hint of pity in her eyes, even Dr. Chen, who had the most skilled medical skills in the village, couldn't cure this man, and this man was probably more than lucky......

Yizhu shook her head and smiled gratefully at her, "Thank you, Aunt Chen, I'm not hungry yet." With tears in her eyes, she wondered if she should go into the city and return to the palace to move the rescuers......

But those who hunt after him......

And Ze'er doesn't know what is going on now, if something happens, she really has no face to go back to see her father again!

"Girl, there may be someone in the mountains deep in the village who can save your brother." Aunt Chen spoke.

A lamp was lit in her heart, and she hurriedly turned around and held Aunt Chen's hands, "Aunt Chen, can you take us over or show me the way?" ”

"Yes, yes, but the person who lives in the mountains is not from our Chenjia Village, he came to us a few years ago, he is a little weird, and his temper is also very strange, but his medical skills are very clever. But he travels a lot, sometimes for a few days, sometimes for months, and I'm afraid of ......."

"It's okay, there's at least a glimmer of hope, isn't it? Aunt Chen, will you take us there? ”

With a little hesitation, Aunt Chen lowered her face helplessly, "When my husband comes back, I'll ask him again!" ”

When Uncle Chen came back from the market, he heard from his wife that even Dr. Chen, who had the most skilled medicine in the village, could not diagnose Murong Xi's poison, so he agreed to take them to the strange people in the mountains of the village......
