The same news also reached Shu Wan's ears.

After a month of exhaustion, it finally collapsed at this moment, and Shu Wan was angry and bloody, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

Xiuzhi, who had just entered the house, saw this scene, and the brazier in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

"Miss, what's wrong with you, miss?"

Shu Wan's face turned pale, and she couldn't care less about secretly wiping the blood stains from the corners of her mouth behind Xiuzhi's back.

"Xiuzhi, is the news from outside true? Has the North really been breached by the Northern Werewolves? ”

Xiuzhi hurriedly stepped forward to support her, choked up, and said: "No, miss, don't believe those rumors, the prince and the little marquis have their own natural appearance, they will be fine, and they will definitely return safely." ”

Shu Wan nodded, couldn't help coughing, pushed Xiuzhi away uncontrollably, and spit out blood by holding on to the edge of the bed.

Xiuzhi was frightened by this scene, and it took a while to react, and then she thought about asking for a doctor.

"Miss, I'll get a doctor for you!" Xiuzhi ran out in a panic and soon invited the doctor.

Xiuzhi led the doctor to the house and cried, "Didn't you say a few days ago that as long as you take care of yourself, you can be fine?" But today my young lady vomited blood. ”

The doctor entered the room and put down the medicine box to check Shu Wan's pulse.

Xiuzhi asked anxiously, "What's wrong with my young lady?" ”

The doctor shook his head and sighed: "Alas, Miss Shu has never let the old man tell the truth before, but this illness has come to this point, and the old man no longer hides it now." ”

Xiuzhi looked at Shu Wan who was in a coma, and a bad premonition came to her heart: "What do you mean by this?" If you don't tell the truth again, the prince and the little marquis won't spare you when they come back. ”

The doctor said truthfully: "Your young lady's disease has long been untreated, there is a rare poison in her body, the old man's life is also unseen, no matter what medicine is in the stomach, it will be washed away by the poison in her body, and now the poison has entered the bone marrow, even if Hua Tuo is alive, it will not be able to save your young lady." ”

Xiuzhi looked at the doctor in shock: "Poison? ”

The doctor nodded: "This poison was planted in your young lady's body at least two months ago." ”

Xiuzhi thought about it, two months ago, Shu Wan's face was very bad, and Shangguan Rong invited a doctor into the house in order to condition her body.

Later, whenever Shu Wan was not feeling well, Xiuzhi invited this doctor into the house.

Twisting the doctor's collar, Xiuzhi said angrily: "You black-hearted quack, it turns out that you have long known about the poisoning of my young lady, but why didn't you say it?" When the little marquis asked about your condition, why didn't you tell the truth? ”

The doctor said helplessly: "The old man is wronged, it was your young lady who didn't let me tell him, and begged the old man to hide it from the little marquis, otherwise he would be forced to die, and the old man really had no choice." ”

Hearing this, Xiuzhi slowly let go of her hand: "Then what now?" If you can't save my young lady, you don't want to live! ”

The doctor just cried: "If the old man has a way, he won't hide it from you, the old man just said, this poison is rare in the world, and I already knew it when I first checked your young lady's pulse, and your young lady ...... Time is running out. ”

"Time is running out?" Xiuzhi muttered to herself, and suddenly sat down on the ground.

"Before leaving, the little marquis asked me to take good care of the young lady, and the prince also told me not to let the young lady be hurt a little......"

"But now, you're telling me that Miss is going to die......"

"No...... Miss can't die. Xiuzhi grabbed the doctor's sleeve and begged: "Doctor, you must save my young lady, no matter what." ”

The doctor shook his head helplessly and said, "The old man really has no choice, you don't ...... Prepare for the future. After speaking, he put aside Xiuzhi's hand that was tightly grasping his sleeve, and left the house without looking back.

On the day of the emperor's death, the battle report came from the north again.

The defenders of the northern border have retreated hundreds of miles, and the northern wolf king Cangyi led an army of 100,000 troops directly into the border of Langguo, all the way unimpeded.

Xie Xuan successfully ascended the throne, and after the throne was in hand, he immediately sent troops to the north to support.

But the road is far away, I am afraid that by the time the reinforcements arrive, the generals guarding the border have all been wiped out, and the reason why they have not been broken by the enemy army is only because there is still Shangguan Rong in the north who is resisting stubbornly.

Xie Xuan stood on the high throne and looked down on the ministers, but the courtiers were all panicked because of the battle report from the north.

Xie Xuan soothed: "It's okay, although Xiao Yan's whereabouts are unknown, isn't there Shangguan Rong guarding for me?" I have already sent reinforcements to support, I believe that Shangguan Rong will be able to withstand another ten days and half a month, you Aiqing don't have to worry. ”

When the military department Shangshu heard this, he stepped forward and said: "But the war report from the northern border has been transmitted to Kyoto a month ago, why didn't the emperor send troops to help early, if he could send troops earlier, the king of war would not be ...... His whereabouts are unknown! ”

The general, who has always been straightforward, immediately chimed in: "That's it! What's the use of sending troops now! I'm afraid that when the reinforcements arrive in the north, everything will be too late......"
