Chapter 14: Gambling, Conspiracy, and Calculation
"Help the girl, stand back, don't let the blood splash on the skirt." Qi Chengyi gently took the long sword from her hand and pointed it at the assassin leader.
The sword light and sword shadow are murderous.
The posture is thin, like a fairy in the dust, and he is clearly the son of Zhilan Yushu, but his moves are shocking and his sword spirit is domineering.
Within a quarter of an hour, there were Assassins lying on the ground.
Seeing that Qi Chengyi's martial arts were good, the other assassins immediately retreated and dispersed after looking at each other.
Fu Yunqing's eyes were amazed, and he hooked his lips and smiled: "Your Highness has such good martial arts." ”
"Don't dare to be. It's just a small skill of carving insects, and I don't dare to compare it with the girl who helped the daughter of the gate. Qi Chengyi wiped the blood on the blade of the sword with a handkerchief, and presented it to Fu Yunqing with both hands.
Fu Yunqing took the sword, walked to the assassin's corpse, and poked their empty lower body with the sword: "I guessed well, they are all masters in the palace. ”
It was sent by Concubine Yu to kill her.
Concubine Yu and Qi Yu suffered such a big loss and lost such a big face, it was impossible to let her go.
"......" Qi Chengyi looked at the place where Fu Yunqing poked, was silent, and then said, "I went out of the palace this morning, and I was also chased and killed by this group, I wanted to go down the vine to see who the mastermind behind the scenes was, but I found out that they were also going to assassinate you." ”
Fu Yunqing had a plan, turned over the things on the corpse, and said slowly: "They are all rootless masters. But you and I have no enemies except one person in the palace. ”
Qi Chengyi hummed very lightly.
"I'm just a civilian, and they just assassinated me, but they dared to attack the Eighth Prince. Today we killed these Assassins, but we could not eradicate the roots. If you want to prevent future troubles, you still have to start at the source. Fu Yunqing's beautiful eyes looked at Qi Chengyi seriously.
These eyes were so beautiful, like peerless amber covered with the cold mist of early spring, that it was impossible to see her true thoughts.
The corners of Qi Chengyi's lips hooked up a smile that was so shallow that it was almost invisible, and he said, "What do you mean by helping the girl, the two of us can join forces to eradicate the enemy?" ”
"If the Eighth Prince has this intention, I am willing to ally with the Eighth Prince for mutual benefit and reciprocity, and become each other's only help in this imperial city."
"But I have neither a mother clan as a backer, nor a powerful minister to rely on, but a mediocre prince who came out of a cold palace, Concubine Yu's party is deeply rooted, and my life is still in danger, how can I ally with you? Doesn't it slow down the pace of helping the girl? The deeper the smile on the corner of Qi Chengyi's lips.
Fu Yunqing said: "The eighth prince doesn't have to be presumptuous. One chopstick is easy to break, ten chopsticks are held in a group, and the two work together, and its profit is broken. I Fu Yunqing has always been frank and upright in doing things, and since I have formed an alliance with you, I will not stick a knife in my back. If the Eighth Prince has not thought it through, he can consider it carefully and give me an answer later. ”
After Fu Yunqing said this, he just left five steps.
The voice of the person behind him was like a breeze: "I agree." ”
Fu Yunqing hooked her lips and smiled brightly: "The arrow wound of the Nine Emperor Princes last time was better?" If that arrow is not handled well, it will leave sequelae. ”
"The arrow was quenched with poison, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless, and the wounds were sometimes good and sometimes bad. I have been poisoned since I was a child, and that day in the cold palace, the girl gave me a red elixir for detoxification, and the effect was very good, I don't know where the elixir came from......" Qi Chengyi asked.
Fu Yunqing groaned for a while before saying, "It was developed by my mother herself." She is good at medicine and detoxification, but unfortunately I only followed her to learn the art of detoxification, and I didn't learn much medical skills. ”
Qi Chengyi tried again: "Does the girl know the formula of this elixir?" ”
Fu Yunqing didn't answer, and asked with a smile: "If the Eighth Prince doesn't dislike it, I'll show you the poison of the wound?" The courtiers are not talented, and they have learned a little bit from their mother, and there is still a way to use ordinary poison. ”
Under the shade of the trees.
Qi Chengyi pulled down his collar, revealing a sword wound that pierced his shoulder blade.
The wound was blackened and carrion.
It's impossible not to hurt.
How did he endure it?
Fu Yunqing pretended to observe the wound, and then gave him a red pill: "After taking it, you can detoxify this poison." ”
Qi Chengyi raised his eyebrows, looked at it and ate it.
After a few moments, the two toxins in the body were suppressed, and the pain of the arrow wound was slightly relieved.
"Thank you, girl." Qi Chengyi had a pair of peach blossom eyes and asked with a smile, "I don't know why Miss Fu went out of the house today?" ”
"I went out of the house to find a good doctor for my younger brother to treat his bone injury." After Fu Yunqing responded simply, he didn't say more, "There was a false alarm today, but fortunately it was resolved by His Royal Highness." Now that I have something to do, I'll take the first step and let the eighth prince take care of himself. ”
Tianying picked up the Hunan bamboo curtain and helped Yunqing sit in the carriage.
The ruts leave a long trail in the snow.
簌簌簌......
The canopy jumped down, and Shen Huaixu, a man in black with a heavy sword, was on his shoulder.
Shen Huaixu said: "It turns out that the person who makes the medicine is her deceased mother, and I don't think there will be too much inventory." This elixir has a miraculous effect on the poison of the Lord, and even Divine Doctor Lin has not been able to analyze the formula. Why don't you go down and steal all her medicine? “
"Do you know where she's hiding?" Qi Chengyi slightly touched the tip of his tongue to the roof of his mouth, stared at the departing car shadow, and sneered, "Her deceased mother has been dead for four years, but I have tasted the freshness of this elixir in less than a month." Heckling ghosts. ”
"The Lord's will, this medicine person is not her dead mother?" Shen Huaixu said angrily, "She dares to lie to you, who in this whole world dares to tease the Lord?" It's better to kill—"
Qi Chengyi's eyes were like knives, and he glanced at Shen Huaixu coldly.
Shen Huaixu didn't dare to say any more: "It's the subordinates who are reckless." ”
"Those assassins at the palace banquet, can you deal with them?" He asked.
Shen Huaixu said: "The Lord can rest assured, everything has been dealt with, and no one knows that the assassin that day was arranged by the Lord." ”
"Lin Yuezhou has already arrived in Qi Kingdom, right?" Qi Chengyi's cold eyes flashed a flirtatious smile.
"Doctor Lin came here this morning." Shen Huaixu said, "What is the Lord's arrangement for him? ”
"Fufu is looking for a good doctor."
"My subordinates understood."
……
on the carriage.
Tian Ying frowned and persuaded: "Girl, this red pill is extremely difficult to make, and you need to take half a bowl of blood every time to refine five pieces." Let's still search for points, and don't give it to the eighth prince in vain next time. ”
"You gave me away for nothing?" Fu Yunqing smiled deeply.
"Isn't it a free gift?" Tianying stretched out two fingers distressedly, "You have already given two to the Eighth Prince!" ”
"The first one is to save people's lives, and the second one is to put a long line to catch big fish, the old poison in his body will depend on my medicine for a long time." Fu Yunqing's eyes were calm, and he said lightly,
"Do you think I met him in the cold palace by accident? I have long known that the cold palace is locked up in the deposed prince, and when I first saw him, I saw that he had a strange poison in his body and had accumulated for many years. Although my medicine can detoxify him for a short time, after a while, he will relapse and be extremely painful, and it is by no means completely cured by a few pills. If I want to save him, I don't know how much blood it will cost, and I need to carefully develop the most suitable antidote for him. ”
Thinking of the pain of being bled every day in his previous life, Fu Yunqing was a little indifferent: "I am not the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I can give him a few pills to detoxify, which is the greatest kindness." How could he give up my blood in exchange for his life? ”
Fu Yunqing lifted her sleeves, and there was a shallow knife on her elbow, which she had made with bloodletting medicine in the past.
She inherited her mother's specialness, her blood is different from others, and she can cure all kinds of poisons.
Occasionally, she would let her blood go and make a few pills that could cure all kinds of poisons, and give them to those close to her in case of emergency.
There's something strange about this blood.
