Chapter 45: Protect Her

After coming out of the Changle Palace, Zhu Jiu called two little eunuchs to prepare hot water for the emperor to bathe, and then walked all the way through the bright corridor back to the room to rest.

This is the last subordinate room, there is not even a ventilation window, she has just arrived at the door, the chief eunuch who manages the subordinate residence actually greeted her with a smile: "Yo, second miss, have you come back from your errand?" Your Majesty has an order, you will not live here in the future, and the bamboo forest Xiaoxuan on the east side of the Changting Hall is your residence. ”

With that, he politely handed over the key, and said a lot of good things to her before leaving in a hurry.

It seems that the chief eunuch has been waiting for her for a long time.

But...... Lowering his eyes and glancing at the key, a hint of suspicion flashed in Zhu Jiu's eyes: It's strange, could it be that this is Xuanyuan Che's reward for explaining what she did?

Accepting the key, she threw it into the dilapidated and dark room in front of herβ€”who knew if Xuanyuan Che would set some trap waiting for her in the bamboo forest.

But as soon as she entered the room, she smelled a familiar breath, and without waiting for the other party to touch it out of the screen, she sat down by the window lightly, and poured a glass of water to moisten her throat: "Little Mozi, come out." ”

"Ahem, don't you have no internal strength? How can you still find me? ”

Zhu Mo was a little embarrassed, thinking that he was hiding well, and he planned to scare this Tuoba Ye.

He emerged from the darkness, and his gaze at Zhu Jiu was even more suspicious.

It's really strange, how can this Tuoba Ye be the same as his Zhu Jiu sister, and he doesn't need to look at him as soon as he enters the room to know where he is hiding?

Fortunately, Zhu Qin is coming soon, wait for Zhu Qin to reconcile with him, and then tell him about the doubts on Tuoba Ye!

Zhu Jiu hooked his lips and smiled, and said to him: "If you want not to be discovered, the interval between breaths should not be so obvious, I don't need internal force, I can hear it by ear alone." ”

"Oh, okay, this is for you, Leng Qingxiu asked me to bring it, saying that you suffered some flesh wounds on the hunting ground during the day, and rubbing the gold sore medicine she brought from Yan Country can get better faster."

Although Xuanyuan Kingdom is now strong, it lags behind Yan Country a lot in terms of medical skills, and a bottle of gold sore medicine in Yan Country is worth hundreds of taels of silver outside.

Zhu Jiu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Leng Qingxiu to be so careful, and nodded: "I know, thank her for me." ”

Zhu Mo put down her things, thought about it, and reminded her: "Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, be careful that someone does something to you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the air condensed slightly, Zhu Jiu's eyes darkened, and he watched him leave: "Thank you for reminding me." ”

It seems that someone is eyeing her......

Is it because she is serving by Xuanyuan Che's side, or is it because she destroyed the entire Tuoba family with her own hands?

Whether it's the former or the latter, she must be careful about tomorrow's enthronement ceremony.

Leng Qingxiu's gold sore medicine was delivered at the right time, and as soon as Zhu Mo left, Zhu Jiu lit a kerosene lamp, took out the gold sore medicine in the dim light, and applied a little to the broken skin on his body.

Unexpectedly, this gold sore medicine has a cooling feeling.

Strange, when did Yan Guo's gold sore medicine become so mild?

Zhu Jiu sensed that something was wrong, and quickly fetched water to wash it off, but saw that the wound that was reexposed was dyed with a faint layer of black and purple, which was actually a sign of poisoning!

How so?

Having a problem with gold sore medicine?

Thinking of Zhu Mo's words reminding her, Zhu Jiu's expression was slightly gloomy: Could it be that the person who was eyeing her was Leng Qingxiu?

Otherwise, how could the gold sore medicine sent by Leng Qingxiu be poisonous? Except for Leng Qingxiu inside and outside the palace of this Yan Kingdom, she couldn't find a second person who could have it.

Originally, it was only a minor injury that wore out a little skin, but now it was poisoned, and it could only be scraped out with another layer of skin.

Zhu Jiu pursed her red lips, held the dagger tightly and peeled off this layer of flesh, poured half a bottle of wine to sterilize, and then took a bandage to wrap it, and after treating the wound, she was already in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, she ate enough at night, and at this moment she still had the strength, and then took Xuanyuan Che's jade pendant, and Zhu Jiu disguised herself as a little eunuch who delivered food and secretly went to the cold prison.

In the cold prison, the senior was lying down and sleeping, and when he heard someone coming in, he looked sideways, with a gentle smile on his face: "Girl, you are here again." ”

Zhu Jiu chuckled: "Sure enough, no matter what you disguise, you can't hide the insight of your predecessors." ”

Fortunately, with that token, and a little bit of silver from others during the day, the prison here had been cleared by her, and she would not come in and disturb it during the hour of half-burnt incense.

Sending the food to the seniors, Zhu Jiu's eyes flashed, and he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Seniors, tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor Xuanyuan Che, Gao Xinguo has sent the princess Lin Yao, your lost daughter is from Gaoxin country, if you have any characteristics that you can describe to me, maybe I can find out what news from the envoys of Gao Xinguo for you." ”

During the day, she was too popular, and it was inconvenient to contact the envoys of Gao Xinguo.

When she saw Lin Yao, she thought of the fact that this senior had asked her to find her daughter.

Hearing this, the man's hand holding the rice bowl suddenly paused, and his voice almost trembled: "You say...... The princess sent by Gao Xinguo to Xuanyuan and his relatives is called Lin Yao? ”

It was dark in the cold prison, and Zhu Jiu didn't notice the light that gradually appeared in the eyes of his seniors, so he only nodded and said, "Exactly, that princess is called Lin Yao-"

Speaking of this, her voice condensed slightly, thinking of the person Xuanyuan Che asked her to kill, her expression gradually became more serious.

It's just because that person is none other than Lin Yao who came to kiss him.

That's why at that time, Xuanyuan Che would say: 'Either she dies or you die', threatening with these words.

The gentle and elegant middle-aged man in the cell finally lowered his eyes, his voice became calmer, but his tone seemed helpless: "Can you let Lin Yao go for my sake?" ”

I don't know if I said this to her, or I wanted to tell Xuanyuan Che through her mouth.

But this person has been locked in the cold prison for many years and has not seen Xuanyuan Che mention him or torture him, which shows that he does not care about the senior in the cold prison.

Even, it is possible that you don't know him at all.

Zhu Jiu heard the meaning of his words, and his predecessors had the "Phoenix Nirvana Formula" that the royal family of Gaoxin Kingdom would have, which was enough to see that he must also be a member of the royal family of Gaoxin Kingdom.

Presumably, Lin Yao, who is also from the royal family of Gaoxin Kingdom, may know him, so the seniors said these words and wanted to save Lin Yao's life.

In the flash of his thoughts, Zhu Jiu had already nodded: "My predecessor is kind to me, if you want to protect Lin Yao, I will do my best to protect her!" ”

Even if the seniors didn't mention protecting Lin Yao, she would do it.

Letting Xuanyuan Che kill Lin Yao is not good for Yan Guo both militarily and politically.

Perhaps it was her calmness that moved the man, and for a while, he couldn't help but get up and nod solemnly to Zhu Jiu, and took out a cloth bag that had been treasured for many years from his arms.

"There are my thirteen golden needles in here, according to the connection of the acupuncture points on this cloth bag, even if you don't have internal strength, you can kill people invisibly, and you can use it to save your life at critical moments."

"You protect Lin Yao for me, and I will give you these thirteen golden needles."
