Chapter 171: Birch Poisoning
This scene caught the other people off guard, and when they found out that Tangerine was surrounded by a group of horses, Gu Tingjun immediately flew towards her, and when he saw her being assassinated, his heart rose to his throat, but fortunately, she was safe.
The others had driven the horses away, leaving the Assassin's body behind.
Gu Tingjun glanced at Su Tang'an not far away, and saw that she was safe and sound, so he was relieved, and then stepped forward to check the body of the man in black.
There was a bloody wound on the assassin's neck, Gu Tingjun looked at the scar slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at Su Cheng'an suspiciously.
Bai Liqi also rushed to Su Tang'an's side at this time, helped her up, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Su Juan shook his head gently.
Bai Liqi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "She is worthy of the woman I admire, and her hand is quickly and neatly, which is breathtaking." β
Su Tang'an wanted to step forward to check the identity of the assassin, but Gu Tingjun came over and said, "Don't look at it, it's already dead, and the corpse has been trampled by the horses." Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. Su Juan said, "What is the identity of this assassin?"
"I'll find out about it. β
Yaruo didn't expect that she kindly wanted Su Tang'an to come and see their grassland horses, but something like this happened, and hurriedly said: "These horses are carefully selected, something must have happened, otherwise they won't go crazy, don't worry, I will find out at this time." β
"They're here for me, and this matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry about it. Su Juan said.
Bai Liqi took a few steps forward and shook Su Tang'an's hand, and said: "Tangerine, I didn't expect that there are so many people here who want to kill you, it's too dangerous here, it's better to go to Yuguo with me, I guarantee that no one will dare to hurt you!"
"Thank you for your kindness. Su Juan withdrew his hand and said with a faint smile, "I'm doing well in Da Zhou, and I have no plans to leave for the time being." β
"Whenever you want to come to Yuguo, I will welcome you. "I also have sad news for you, I'm leaving here tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a while, why don't you give me a token of love, so that I can see things and think about people!"
"Oh?" Su Juan chuckled, "You're leaving?"
If this kind of thing happens, this horse will definitely not be able to ride anymore, Su Tang'an returned to Ziwei Palace, the master entered the palace to play chess with His Majesty, and Zhang Haiyi was not able to be as free as usual, and was pulled by his parents to visit relatives and friends.
Su Cheng'an practiced the internal strength method for a while, and couldn't help but feel very discouraged, his progress was really too slow.
Later, the county lord of Youran also came to the Ziwei Palace, and sighed unhappily: "Why are they so annoying?"
Su Juan restrained his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Persuade me to marry!" said the leisurely county lord, "My father saw that his words did not work, so he mobilized all his relatives to persuade me in turn, they are very busy on weekdays, I didn't expect that there would be nothing to do during the New Year, it was really annoying, I came here to hide and be clean." β
"They're doing it for you, too. Su Juan said.
"I know, it's just that they don't understand me. The county lord said, "I'm seventeen years old this year, and in our big week, if you can't marry at the age of twenty, you'll be an old girl." But you see those men, when they are dozens of years old, they are not the same as marrying wives and concubines, how unfair it is. β
She shook her head and said, "Don't talk about these troubles, lest you be upset." By the way, during the Lantern Festival, let's not put lanterns together, and it is said that if you negotiate your wishes on the lanterns, your wishes will come true. At this time of year, there are countless river lanterns floating on the surface of the river, carrying heavy wishes. When the time comes, let's call all the brothers Tingjun and them, let's have a good time. β
"Okay. Su Tang'an smiled slightly, she remembered that when she was a child, her mother had made a lantern for her, and those memories were too distant, hazy, like a dream, slowly emerging in front of her.
Leisurely put his head on Su Tang'an's lap and sighed: "I just want to go on like this, everyone is fine, I can see it from time to time, and I often laugh and go crazy together." β
How could a girl who grew up in the imperial city know nothing about the situation, in this huge net, no one can say that she can get out of the way. And I don't know how long the temporary peace will last, and what changes the hidden storm will bring to everyone's fate.
However, it is a pity that the appointment with the leisurely Lantern Festival is destined to be lost.
At the beginning of the new year, the wheel of fate finally began to turn slowly, and no one knew what the end would be.
East Palace.
"Sister. Zheng Peizhi smiled and ran towards Zheng Peilan, "Say hello to my sister, I finally have the time to say hello to my sister today, sister doesn't know, I'm about to die of busyness, I used to have you to handle all these things, but now it's all on me, I'm going to be tired." β
"When you grow up, it's time for your father to share his worries. Zheng Peilan said lightly.
"Why is my sister alone, and my brother-in-law hasn't accompanied my sister?" asked Zheng Peizhi.
He accompanied the crown princess back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Zheng Peilan said lightly, "It's also very strange to say, His Royal Highness is very obsessed with the crown princess these days, even the twin sisters have been snubbed, this morning, the two of them came to me to complain, and I don't know what method she used to catch the prince's mind." β
"What is my sister afraid of, you are always the most beloved woman of my brother-in-law. Zheng Peizhi said, "What's more, my sister still has a belly, waiting for the child to wait, the mother is more expensive than the son, how can she still have room to speak in this East Palace?"
Zheng Peilan pressed her temples and sighed with a headache: "There is a steady stream of newcomers in the East Palace, who can guarantee that His Royal Highness's heart will always be on my body! Besides, the crown princess has always been the main concubine, and now she can basically be regarded as a special favorite, those palace people who used to stammered me, now all look at her face, if she gives birth to a child in the future, it will be a concubine, and I and my child will still have a place?"
"My sister can't help but think too pessimistic, don't forget, we still have a father, and my father won't watch my sister being bullied. Zheng Peizhi said.
"The crown princess's father is the prime minister, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s in the court. Zheng Peilan said, "All in all, it's not easy for me now. β
"I didn't expect my sister's situation to be so difficult now. Zheng Peizhi's eyes rolled, and she said, "My sister is pregnant in this East Palace, and I really can't bear to watch my sister work for a lot of troubles, so you might as well let me help my sister." β
"How can you help me?"
"I am willing to enter the East Palace to serve His Royal Highness with my sister, and I can take care of my sister. Zheng Peizhi said, "With me by my side to take care of me, my father will be more relieved if I want to come." β
"As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, I can't bear to let you step in, not to mention that there is someone in your heart?" Zheng Peilan said.
"My sister is the most important person to me. Zheng Peizhi said, "It is also a blessing to be able to be by your side, and our sisters will be with us until we grow old." β
Zheng Peilan was moved to hold Zheng Peizhi's hand: "Are you really willing to give up your freedom for your sister?"
"Naturally, I would like to. β
"Well, tomorrow I will talk to the prince about this, and if he agrees, you and I will be together as if we were at home in the future. β
"Hmm!"
Zheng Peilan hugged Zheng Peilan in her arms and patted her back gently, but the corners of her mouth were filled with a mocking sneer.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Bailiqi and his party left the capital.
However, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, something happened that everyone did not expect, Jiang Huawei was poisoned.
At first, the symptoms were not very obvious, so I asked a doctor to take medicine according to the wind and cold, but after three days, the symptoms did not reduce, but worsened.
When Su Cheng'an went to visit Jiang Huawei, she said that she could let Chenguang come for treatment, but she didn't expect Chenguang to come to the conclusion that she was not an ordinary wind chill, but poisoning.
"What poison?" asked Su Tang'an.
Chenguang's face was not very good, and he said, "Qiguang." β
"Is there a solution?" asked Su Ju'an.
Chenguang's face was a little embarrassed.
"You just have to say that there is a way to detoxify?" asked Su Tang'an anxiously.
"There is a way. Chenguang thought for a moment and said, "But it's just a little bit of medicine." β
"But what kind of medicine? I can think of a way. β
"If it was ordinary medicine, I wouldn't be embarrassed. Chenguang said, "This flavor medicine is extremely rare, called Jin Houcao, which is not available in the territory of the Great Zhou, only a few plants in Emperor Yuguo." β
"If you go to ask for medicine now, will it be too late to go back and forth?" asked Su Tang'an.
"Even if you are fast, it will take nearly twenty days to go back and forth, but the poison on Sister Jiang's body can only last for a maximum of ten days, and it is too late. Chenguang lowered his eyes and said.
"But there are other ways?"
Chenguang shook his head slightly.
"So what now?"
Jiang Huawei sat up with her clothes on, a shallow smile appeared on her pale face, and she said lightly: "Forget it, life and death are fateful, I just regret that I have not avenged my father, and there are still many things I want to do that I haven't had time to do." β
"Good manner, how could you be poisoned?" Su Tang'an's eyes narrowed slightly, "Could it be that Bailiqi and them did it?" You have been fighting against Yuguo and know them very well, so they poisoned you and wanted to get rid of you, could it be that they wanted to go to war again?"
"Maybe it's a possibility. Jiang Huawei said, "It's just that I have very little contact with them, and I don't know where they got the opportunity." There is also a possible ......"
Jiang Huawei didn't say it explicitly, but it can be guessed that there is another possibility that Li Changlong and they poisoned, but no matter who it was, they gave Jiang Huawei *, that is, they didn't want to be found out when they were poisoned.
And inferring from the timing, Su Tang'an still felt that Bailiqi and them were more likely, and now they left the capital, and the time of their departure coincided with the time of Jiang Huawei's poisoning.
"I'll figure it out. Su Cheng'an took Jiang Huawei's hand and said, "I will find a way to save you." β
Then Su Cheng'an hurriedly returned to the Hou Mansion to pack up briefly, and was about to beg Doctor Yu to come out of the mountain, even if she was to tie her up, she would be tied up to relieve Jiang Huawei of the poison on her body.
It's just that as soon as she finished packing up and ordered someone to lead the horse over, she received a letter, a letter from Bailiqi.
Su Cheng'an opened the letter suspiciously, glanced at it, his face changed slightly, crumpled the letter paper, and threw it on the ground, sure enough, it had something to do with them!
Then he rode on the snow that the little guy had come to and ran wildly towards the outside of the city.
On the top of the city tower, Gu Tingjun frowned, with a slight sadness on his face, watching Su Tang'an leave, until her figure disappeared beyond the horizon, and he never withdrew his gaze.
"I'm sorry. His lips twitched slightly, and he said apologetically.
