Chapter 252: Self-deception
"In the end, it is father and son, the emperor may not want to be ruthless to the third prince before the third prince really dances in front of him." Xiao Zhi said indifferently.
The royal family affection is weak, but it is not that whoever says that his son wants to harm him, the emperor will believe it.
What's more, people will always have a little luck mentality, thinking that this person may still be able to be saved before the last moment.
Tao Tao choked, let's do it, according to what he said, the emperor really won't say anything.
"Let people be careful, I always think that the third prince will not let the emperor take the antidote so easily." Tao Tao pinched her eyebrows, neither of these two is worry-free.
Xiao Zhi nodded, "Don't worry, even if this king doesn't do anything, the emperor will definitely have an arrangement, and the third prince will not have a chance to hurt him." ”
"Don't, don't talk so much, if something really happens, your face is not enough to hit." Tao Taoxin said that this flag is not established, and it is easy to fall when the flag is established.
Xiao Zhi didn't care, but he wisely didn't continue the topic, his eyes turned to look at the utensils that were being fired, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How long will it take for this antidote to be good?" ”
"It's going to be soon, just a few more quarters of an hour." Tao Tao saw that Xiao Zhi was interested in this, so he pulled Xiao Zhi to explain.
What alchemy furnace, what heat, etc., listen to it separately, Xiao Zhi can understand it, but after connecting it, it becomes foggy, and he doesn't know what it means at all.
Tao Tao didn't want Xiao Zhi to understand what was going on, he just needed to know what this antidote was about.
Soon, when the time came, Tao Tao extinguished the flames, opened the lid of the stove, and saw five identical pills lying inside.
"Five pieces in one furnace, this consumption is okay." Tao Tao was very satisfied with today's medicine, and reached out and took out a pill from it and handed it to Xiao Zhi, "Well, this one is for you, take it to the emperor, and the poison in the emperor's body can be cured." ”
Xiao Zhi nodded and took the pill and left, the poison in the emperor's body was better solved as soon as possible, saving time and causing extraneous branches.
After watching Xiao Zhi walk away, Tao Tao started to put away the rest of the pills, although he can't use them now, but who knows if he will use them later?
Antidote, of course, be prepared!
The Emperor's room was arranged in the third room next door to theirs, which was not too far away, and it didn't take much time to get there.
But it was just this time, Xiao Zhi couldn't successfully deliver the antidote to the emperor's hands, and he was intercepted by a flying arrow!
Immediately afterwards, before Xiao Zhi could react, there was another sound of breaking the air in his ears, not only that, but the second arrow was actually tied with a cloth soaked in fire oil, burning, and once it was shot into the inn, it immediately set the inn on fire.
Xiao Zhi's face turned green, "What's the matter?" ”
How could a good chunk of wood be ignited so easily?
But at the moment, it is clear that the focus should not be on finding out how the inn was set on fire, but on getting the emperor out as quickly as possible.
Then the question arises, now that the enemy is in the dark, they are in the light, who can guarantee that they will send the emperor out of the inn, will they directly become the target of the other party?
"The prince is not good! I don't know when someone inside and outside the inn was painted with flammable materials, and now it is burning rapidly! ”
"Then what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and wake up the emperor and let the emperor leave the inn!" Xiao Zhi grinded his back molars, if he didn't go out, he would be burned to death, and if he went out, he would be used as a target, the third prince was really good!
"Lu Zheng, you must find the archers before the emperor comes out!" As long as the archers are found and killed before the emperor becomes a target, there will be no problems.
Not only Lu Zheng was looking for it, but the emperor's secret guards were also looking for it, but somehow, none of them could find the existence of the archer.
"It's impossible, the bow and arrow won't run out by itself, someone must have done it, how did you find it?" Tao Tao looked Lu Zheng up and down questioningly, she couldn't care about the emperor's secret guard, but Lu Zheng could.
Lu Zheng replied honestly: "The subordinates came to find them according to the range of the bow and arrow, and no one was found within the range of the bow and arrow." ”
"So do we!" The secret guard couldn't withstand the emperor's reproachful gaze, and nodded busily.
As he spoke, another bow and arrow came towards the emperor among them, and there was not only one bow and arrow, but arrows from all directions.
This was confusing their judgment, and everyone's faces suddenly changed again.
"Bows and arrows don't have to be short-range bows and arrows, what if they have a long-range tool in their hands, such as a crossbow or something?" In this case, it is not appropriate to use the normal range of the bow and arrow to measure the hiding point of the opponent.
Lu Zheng instantly understood what the princess meant, and flew to look for it farther away, and the emperor's secret guard also reacted and followed.
Of course, not all of them followed, and some people were left to protect the emperor.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was busy changing his hiding place and had no time to release the arrows again, Xiao Zhi hurriedly threw the antidote to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this is the antidote, you will be fine if you take it now." ”
"Is it because of the antidote that they didn't want me to take the antidote, so they sent someone to shoot me?" Without hesitation, the emperor took the antidote, threw it in his mouth, and swallowed it.
The antidote melts in the mouth, otherwise the emperor will be wild when he takes the medicine, and he will be choked by the pill.
The emperor frowned, carefully feeling the changes in his body, obviously before eating this antidote, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his body, but now after taking this antidote, he actually felt a lot lighter.
I'm afraid this reaction is not his delusion, right?
"The emperor should be able to feel it now, his body is a lot lighter?" Tao Tao looked at the emperor with a smile, not allowing him to fool his true feelings.
“…… It is indeed as you say. The emperor had a straight face, but there was not much anger in his eyes, it turned out that his feelings were real, not his delusions.
Thinking about it, even if the poison is no longer perceptible, it is still poison in essence, so if the poison is resolved, it is normal for him to feel relaxed.
Over there, Lu Zheng and the others also came with good news, and sure enough, after going to a farther range, they found those bed bugs hiding in the dark.
This time, Lu Zheng didn't let the opponent's archer have a chance to escape, and simply grabbed the person neatly and sent it to his master and the emperor.
"Master, the emperor, it's the bow and arrow that this kid put down!"
Most of the inn has burned down now, and although there are people fighting the fire, it is not so easy to extinguish the fire in the inn, which is all painted with flammable materials.
In the end, the inn was burned to the ground, and the innkeeper wept bitterly: "My inn! ”
