Chapter Eighty-Four: Poisoned Wine

"Report! No clues were found to the east."

"So is the West."

"Your Highness, there is no trace in the northeast direction......

A team of guards almost searched the bottom of the cliff, but did not find any traces, Helian Du secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since she was not found under the cliff, it means that she is still alive.

"Your Highness, several corpses have been found in the southwest, come and take a look!!"

The sudden news made Helian tremble in his determination, and he almost ran past, but when he vaguely saw the corpses, he stopped, not daring to move half a step forward.

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and Helian Duel's face turned blue, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and his throat was extremely dry from extreme tension.

I don't know how long it took for him to finally take heavy steps, moving step by step, and when he could see the clothes of those people, the hammer drum in his heart gradually returned to normal.

OK...... Not her......

But the five corpses in the weeds were all dressed in the Akaiyuan military uniforms, and they seemed to be their own people, and they should have fallen from a height to fall into this appearance.

Helian Du looked up, and a small waterfall appeared in front of him, and directly above this place was the cliff where the blood had disappeared.

Could it be that the disappearance of Nanyue and Helian Qian has something to do with these corpses?

Helian immediately ordered to inquire about the identities of these people, but before the herald could leave, a guard shouted in the distance, "Your Highness, you have found the princess and the seventh prince!"

He looked stunned and asked anxiously, "How is she?"

"Your Highness, the princess has been slightly injured and looks tired, but it is fine."

Hearing this, Helian Du finally completely relieved, he turned around and looked thoughtfully at the corpses that had been smashed into flesh, and then walked into the distance.

Helian Qian and the two discussed the follow-up plan, and then came out of the cave, at this time, Si Nanyue's hair was slightly messy, and there was a lot of dust on her originally fair cheeks, and the scratches on her forehead were even more obvious.

Helian Qian casually handed her a water bladder, but Si Nanyue was tired, her body was sore as if she was about to fall apart, she forcibly stayed awake and slowly shook her head.

Helian Qian withdrew his hand, secretly calculating in his heart that their plan still had a few months to go, and Si Nanyue was so weak, he didn't know if she could hold on to the day she said.

Just when Helian Qian was thinking nonsense, Si Nanyue's face suddenly showed a look of horror, and then she secretly disappeared, if it wasn't close, I'm afraid even he wouldn't be able to find out.

Helian Qian followed her gaze, and it turned out to be Helian Jue coming from a distance.

She stood up, her weak body seemed a little stiff, Helian was still a few steps away from them, she suddenly knelt on the ground, her slightly hoarse voice with a slight tremor, as if she was very frightened.

"Your Highness, forgive your sins, slave...... The concubine body worries His Highness......

"Get up." Helian helped her up, and his tone was very flat, "It's okay if you have nothing to do, don't go to a dangerous place by yourself in the future."

"Yes."

She lowered her head meekly and obediently, at this time she was like her in the cave with hatred in her eyes, but in Helian Qian's opinion, what she said last night was not a lie, and now she is not pretentious, thinking about it, she is really afraid.

Perhaps it was because of this low-brow obedience and fear from the bottom of her heart that she was able to live in the hands of the eldest brother for so long.

Helian Qian suddenly felt sympathy, but he didn't show it, and after reining his mind a little, he bowed his head slightly, "Thanks to the imperial brother personally leading people to find it, otherwise, with the body of the minister's brother, I am afraid that as soon as the night falls, he will be captured by the beasts in the mountains to fill his stomach."

If he didn't say anything, I'm afraid Helian would not notice him until he left.

The disgusted gaze swept to Helian Qian, Helian was definitely embarrassed, and he also wanted to know what happened yesterday, or replied: "This king should thank the seventh brother for protecting his insider, but I don't know what happened at that time, so that the seventh brother and the inner person were in danger together?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Helian Qian covered his heart and coughed a few times

, said in a hoarse voice: "The imperial brother knows the body of the younger brother, I can't hunt with all the imperial brothers, and when I see that the scenery by the stream is good, I will rest there." From time to time, the imperial sister-in-law and the maid also came to enjoy the scenery, and the courtiers wanted to avoid suspicion, but as soon as they showed up, five soldiers came out of nowhere, wanting to take the life of the imperial sister-in-law, cough cough cough cough ......

He coughed more and more, drank a few sips of water, and said: "Although the younger brother is not as good as the royal brothers, he has a few life-saving moves, so he fought with those people, they did not forgive, and it seemed that they would not give up if they did not kill the imperial sister-in-law, so the younger brother and the imperial sister-in-law accidentally fell into the cliff, fortunately they grabbed the vines on the cliff, and they ...... cough cough cough cough ......"

Helian Qian said it clearly, and his body was really unbearable, so Helian decided to let people help him to rest.

After only the two of them remained, Helian Jue's worries were no longer hidden, and after checking that there were no serious external injuries on Si Nanyue's body, he asked, "Is what he said true?"

Si Nanyue followed Helian Qian's words, and besides, it was originally a script arranged for her by others, and it would lose its value if she didn't use it.

"Yes, the Seventh Highness suffered serious internal injuries in order to protect me."

"Then why is Yunzhu so different......

Helian Duan's voice became softer, he seemed to think of something, and said, "You can do nothing, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Hmm."

Si Nanyue responded grogily, in fact, she couldn't hear what Helian was talking about anymore.

As soon as the two of them took a few steps forward, a feeling of dizziness hit her, everything in front of Si Nanyue's eyes was blurred and turned upside down, and her body fell to the side uncontrollably.

She heard Helian Duel's voice coming from far away, and then she lost consciousness.

Cold, bone-chilling, Si Nanyue felt that her body was so cold that she was trembling, and she was being tightly surrounded by a blazing body.

Who is that man? Is it the wind? Still is......

Her mind was chaotic, she couldn't think in pain, she wanted to call Jifeng's name, but she never dared to shout it.

Half-asleep, she heard Helian Du's low voice: "Nanyue, we're going home, why haven't you woken up yet?"

His voice trembled slightly, was he crying?

Si Nanyue felt ridiculous for her thoughts, she was really confused, how could a person like him cry for her.

Finally, she forcibly opened her eyelids, which seemed to be tens of millions of pounds heavy, and saw Helian Duel's blood-colored golden eyes clearly. :

"You're finally awake!"

He wanted to hug her happily, but the outstretched hand finally took it back.

She was too fragile for him to touch her, even if he had no ill will at this point.

"Wind ...... It's just cold, Your Highness doesn't have to worry, and the plan has been completed, I have formed an alliance with the Seventh Prince, and the next step can be ...... Yes......"

She was so weak that she could barely speak, and it seemed that she could not even breathe, but she still did not forget to say the next step.

Helian Du frowned, "I'll talk about this when you get better, you're a doctor, you don't even know that you were poisoned, but fortunately, I took you back to the house in time to save your life."

"Poison?" Si Nanyue looked at him with a puzzled face.

"I've tortured that sinner, she's done it all."

Saying that, Helian decided to order someone to bring the decoction and feed it to Si Nanyue one by one.

"Those five killers were indeed sent by Ah Rishan and wanted to kill you, but they were killed by Helian Qian, Yunzhu used poison schemes, wanting to destroy your innocence through Helian Qian, if I no longer favor you because of this matter, no one will ever find out that you were poisoned and died, so a series of tricks one after another, it is really vicious......

He palpitated, and there was a bit of blame in his tone, "Nanyue, as smart as you, it is impossible not to find a trace, but why didn't you even tell this king a word?"

Si Nanyue's face did not make waves, and she was still so calm, as if she was not the one who almost died.

"If I tell Your Highness, will Your Highness still allow me to participate in the Holy Hunt? Losing this opportunity, when will I be able to wait until I meet Helian Qian, and when will your and my plan come true?"

"You......

"And Ah Rishan is the eldest lady's younger sister, if I tell Your Highness, will Your Highness kill her for me?"

A series of questions in front of her made Helian Decisive silent, and she said, "Since I know that His Highness can't do it, and Ah Rishan won't stop, then why should I sabotage my long-planned plan?"

Helian was silent for a long time, and his lost appearance made him look a lot haggard, and finally, he looked at her with red eyes, as if he was in pain.

"This king is so unworthy of your trust? Do you have to put yourself in such a dangerous situation?"

This look made Si Nanyue a little inexplicably sad, she tilted her head slightly, and the meaning of her words was self-evident.

The light in Helian Duel's eyes gradually dimmed, "Okay, you have a good rest, and this king will come to see you later."

As the words fell, he walked out with heavy steps.

Si Nanyue closed her eyes tightly, thinking back to what he had just said and his expression, and then understood what he meant.

She sat up and asked, "Your Highness, did you really kill Ah Rishan?!"

He stopped, turned his head slightly, was silent for a moment, leaving only the sentence "You take care of your injuries", and left without looking back, leaving only Si Nanyue in the dim room, with an indescribable look on her face.

When night fell, there were no candles in the house, and the cold moonlight dimly penetrated through the window.

She never thought that Helian would even ignore Sister A's affection, and wanted to kill her for a Si Nanyue.

She once saw many women fighting openly and secretly, winning with arrogance and losing......

At that time she thought they were stupid enough to fight to the death for a man's favor, and now she did not do what she had ever thought was the most boring thing she had ever done, and she ended up like this, and she didn't know whether she was hateful or ridiculous.

Ah Rishan sat on the couch and thought carefully, she had nothing to worry about in her short life except for her family, and now her only worry is that if she dies of poisoning, will Sister A's illness be more serious? Will the mother find another daughter of Creti to replace her?

"That's it, none of this has anything to do with me, but...... If I can't escape death, then I'm going to die blind."

Ah Rishan lowered his eyes and looked at Ah Ji, who was kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly, and asked, "Ah Ji, who instructed you to do all those superfluous things?"

Yes, that's right, she did instruct Aji to ruin Si Nanyue's innocence, but she never thought of killing Si Nanyue, let alone killing the killer.

Aji cried and cried, not daring to speak, Ah Rishan said calmly, "It's my mother."
