Chapter 22: Poison

"I haven't fallen asleep yet, what's the matter?" Mingyue Ke continued to ask quickly.

"Miss, just now Xiangye sent someone to pass the word, saying that the palace sent someone to ask you to enter the palace tomorrow to see His Royal Highness the Prince. Xia Bing outside the door said to Mingyue Ke in a reciprocal tone, there was no mud in her words, and listening to it made people feel that she was a trustworthy person.

Probably because of this in his previous life, because of Xia Bing's steady temperament, he easily trusted the other party.

"Okay, I got it. Mingyue Ke responded.

After getting Mingyue Ke's affirmative answer, Xia Bing at the door left.

Mingyue Ke was thinking about it in his heart, although he had already been mentally prepared to reunite with the prince, a husband who had no fate in his previous life, but he never thought that it would be so soon.

At this time, Mingyue Ke also lowered his head and looked at the plain clothes on his body, this is also the only clothes that fit now when he was in the White Mansion of Yongsu City, and he really wants to wear this dress to the palace tomorrow?

However, today, my grandmother instructed Bai to buy some new clothes for herself, hoping that Bai would not think about it carefully.

At the same time, the eight kings "Xiao Liangjun", who had already finished asking the queen mother's grandmother, had also left the palace, and under the secret observation of all forces, he returned to the Eight Princes' Mansion without accident, and then announced that he was injured in the front-line battle this time and needed to recuperate and close his door, and at the same time refused to visit any guests.

At this time, the eight kings "Xiao Liangjun", who was supposed to be recuperating in the Eight Kings' Mansion, appeared in the East Palace.

I saw that "Xiao Liangjun" took off the silver mask on his face, and what appeared was not a disfigured face burned by the fire as in the legend, but-

A face exactly the same as the "prince" in front of him.

"Your Highness, you are finally back. The "prince" in front of him said respectfully, and at the same time, his body moved, and he saw that his figure and face had changed greatly, and in an instant, he turned into another person.

And this person is the Ji Hou who is known as the Thousand Faces Langjun in the rivers and lakes, and he is also one of the leaders of the Ghost Shadow Brake Organization, if it weren't for the clothes Ji Hou was wearing at this time or the one Fang Cai, I'm afraid no one would believe that there is really a so-called face-changing technique in this world.

"Well, I had to come back this time. At this time, the crown prince Xiao Shaojun, who had recovered his original identity, also said while tidying up his clothes and face, "I didn't expect that the step-queen would say that she would move her grandmother to give marriage." ”

The crown prince Xiao Shaojun said, also with a helpless face, and at the same time took off the clothes that he was still wearing that only the Eight Kings would wear, with a strong chest, where could it be the rumored sick and dying waste prince?

"If Your Highness doesn't like the eldest lady of the Ming family, just ask your brothers to do it unconsciously, why bother yourself?" Ji Hou also said with his words, and when he said this, he was also extremely relaxed, as if he was pinching an ant to death.

Listening to the words of the Marquis of Ji, the crown prince Xiao Shaojun's face also sank, "She is also an innocent person, a victim of this struggle, besides, even if there is no Miss Ming, the queen will not give up, there will be Miss Jin, Miss Wang and the like, why bother?"

After hearing the words of the crown prince Xiao Shaojun, the Marquis of Ji thought for a while, and then said, "What His Highness said is true. In fact, he is not the one who loves to kill, but people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, so killing people is his consistent way of solving problems.

Xiao Shaojun naturally knew this, so he didn't care too much about the other party's words, but Ji Hou's words also gave him a reminder.

That Mingyue Ke is the one who is about to become the crown princess, presumably, she is also targeted by many people, it seems that her situation will be a little dangerous.

At this time, Xiao Shaojun had already changed into a white dress, and the long hair that was originally fixed with a hairpin was also scattered on his shoulders, looking a little sick and delicate.

Then someone from the palace brought a bowl of black decoction, and before he got close, he could smell the bitter smell emitted from it.

Xiao Shaojun picked up the decoction and was about to drink it all, but was stopped by Ji Hou beside him.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to drink this decoction? This medicine..." This medicine is poisonous, the crown prince Xiao Shaojun knows it, and the subordinates such as Jihou next to him also know it, but they can't be brought up.

"If you don't drink it, how can you coax the step-queen and the others?" said the crown prince Xiao Shaojun, so he took away the hand that Ji Hou was holding him, and drank it all, and after drinking, he wiped the corners of his mouth and ate a plate of candied fruit held by the palace people.

Ji Hou looked at the lord in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little heartache, since he was rescued by the prince, he has become the shadow of the other party, accompanying him all the year round, and he has to play the prince from time to time to stay in the East Palace, creating opportunities for the prince to go out to do errands.

Therefore, Ji Hou knows all aspects of the prince very well, and he knows that the prince likes sweets and hates bitterness the most, but now, in order to forbear, he forces himself to drink this extremely bitter poison.

And not long after the prince drank the poison, he began to cough violently, and before he coughed much, a ball of black blood spit out of his mouth.

Ji Hou and the palace people on the side also hurriedly stepped forward, hurriedly handing handkerchiefs and serving tea and water.

"Nothing. Seeing that the people next to him were a little worried, Prince Xiao Shaojun also waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and then said, "This time it's a bit too much, it's a little too much, but it's okay." ”

Although the crown prince Xiao Shaojun said that it was okay, the Marquis Ji on the side was still very worried, "Your Highness, there are rumors outside, saying that you will not live for more than three months, what do you think?"

When the crown prince Xiao Shaojun heard this, he just smiled, "That's just right, so that the step-queen and others can relax their vigilance, inform the brothers, and continue to monitor the movements of the three princes' faction, maybe, at this juncture, they will not be able to sit still." ”

Xu was coughing up blood, and Prince Xiao Shaojun's face was a little pale, but he was more morbid in this way.

"Yes, Your Highness. Ji Hou gave up his hand to receive the order, but just as Ji Hou was about to withdraw, he saw a man in black walking straight in from outside, but it was Hengshan.

"Your Majesty, after Miss Ming left the palace gate, she didn't go anywhere, and went back to the Ming Mansion directly. ”

But at the door of the Ming Mansion, he was stopped. ”

"Ming Xiang and his wife want to let Miss Ming perform a family ceremony before they can enter the gate of the Ming Mansion, but this Miss Ming is not a bully. ”

"What's the matter with you?" Heng Shan said, with a smug smile on his face, "Then Miss Ming directly invited out the holy decree she got from the Queen Mother and asked Ming Xiang and his wife to perform the state ceremony." After that, Hengshan also laughed, as if it was he who made the slap in the face, and he was in a good mood.

At the same time, Ji Hou also found that the corners of His Royal Highness's mouth also appeared with an imperceptible smile, as if there was a situation!

"Your Highness, do you need to continue to stare at Miss Ming's side?" After laughing, Hengshan also got down to business.
