Du Heng held another square royal blue brocade box, in the brocade box was placed a meniscus-shaped short blade, the thin blade was a plum blossom-shaped knife edge, and the candle flame flashed a faint cold light;

Luo Kui took the short blade, although she was prepared in her heart, but when she took the knife from the end of her fingers, the cold pain was still beyond her expectations, she gasped in pain, and a drop of bright red blood beads condensed from the end of her fingers, and fell into the bright red bowl in Du Heng's hand.

The pale white mist in the bowl and the bright red blood beads touched each other, and they tumbled violently, and after a while, the blood beads all melted into one place with the mist, and a hideous nematode could be faintly seen inside, writhing and struggling with its head and tail.

The crown princess had never seen such a strange scene, and she couldn't help but be startled, covered her mouth and took a few steps back, and looked at Luo Kui cautiously, as if looking at some kind of monster.

Luo Kui didn't say much, only picked up the scarlet red worm and placed it at the center of the prince's eyebrows.

As soon as the nematode twisted its head and tail, it burrowed into the thin black gas, devouring it very quickly, and the black gas gradually thinned out, but it did not dissipate after all.

Luo Kui waved his hand, put the nematode back into the bowl, and with a wave of his hand, the nematode was cut into two pieces, and the black gas that was devoured by it was released at once, out of the bowl, and almost wanted to merge with the black gas on the prince's face again.

Fortunately, Du Heng reacted quickly enough, pinched it, and a red light imprisoned the black qi in the bowl, and the black qi seemed to have spirituality, twisting and struggling in the bowl for a while, seeing that the struggle was useless, he gradually became weak and quiet.

Looking at each other, in the depths of the black qi when struggling, there were countless ink-colored poppies blooming continuously, and after the black qi quieted down, those ink-colored poppies also closed tightly and remained motionless.

Luo Kui sniffed carefully, this black gas faintly revealed the smell of ambergris, she condensed slightly, and said: "Second sister-in-law, second brother, today, in whose room are you resting." ”

The crown princess looked at Luo Kui's eyes with some horror and jealousy, and after thinking for a long time, she hesitated: "Your Royal Highness has newly accepted a concubine named Bai Shao, I like it very much, tonight, His Royal Highness rested in Bai Peony's room as usual, but before he rested, His Royal Highness went back to the study to take care of business." ”

Luo Kui raised his eyes and looked at Ma Xin who was standing at the door, Ma Xin hurriedly bowed down and said softly: "The villain has closed the inner courtyard, and he has also ordered someone to guard the white peony, as for the outer courtyard, the villain ordered the outer to be loose and the inner tight, for fear of alarming the outsiders." ”

Luo Kui bowed slightly, and said: "Before the second brother became ill, he could bathe in the white peony room. ”

Ma Xin hurriedly said: "Yes, these days, Bai Shao has served His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bathe. ”

Luo Kui condensed, Bai Peony's bottom is clean, but it is difficult to ensure that she will not be coerced and tempted later, she thought about it for a while, Bai Peony has been raised in the Queen Mother's Palace since she was a child, and she is not the kind of person who has a seven-trick exquisite heart, even if she has the heart to be a meticulous work, she is afraid that there are not enough eyes to be a careful work, at most she will be used as a pawn, she solemnly said: "Go and bring the bath bucket used by His Royal Highness the Prince here." ”

Ma Xin retreated in response, Luo Kui put her hand in the carved copper basin, the warm water did not pass her wrist, looking at the cold and slightly sorrowful eyebrows in the water, she calmed down, knowing that she could not panic at this time, she could not collapse at this time, she had to be calm, she could only be calm, she took a deep breath, wiped the water beads on her hands, and looked back and smiled: "Second sister-in-law, my little sister is a little hungry." ”

The princess was slightly stunned, came back to her senses very quickly, and hurriedly instructed the bridal maid Ruxiang to quietly go to the small kitchen to bring bird's nest over, if anyone asked, it was said that the prince was awake and said that he was hungry.

Luo Kui nodded slightly and smiled, after this incident, if the crown princess can be more thoughtful and stable, it will be a blessing in disguise.

The doors and windows in this hall are closed, and the half of the wind cannot penetrate in, and the thin silk curtain of autumn fragrant flowers hangs quietly, like a bend of autumn water flowing quietly, flowing through the hearts of all kinds of anxious people.

The lights are as bright as day, the quiet figure is slender, and the sheepskin lampshade is depicted with flowers and cordyceps at four o'clock, and the light shadow looks vivid, you can almost smell the flowers and herbs, and hear the insects and birds.

The crown princess tucked the corners of the prince's quilt and sighed melancholy: "Little sister, what is the matter with His Royal Highness's illness." ”

Luo Kui slowly took a sip of tea, pondered his words for a while, and then said: "The second brother is not sick, but poisoned, as for what kind of poison it is, when Ma Xin brings the bath bucket, you can see it at a glance." ”

"Bath barrel, poisoning. The crown princess panicked, grabbed Luo Kui's hand, and almost cried in panic: "Little sister, little sister, this, what is going on." ”

Luo Kui held the crown princess's hand with her backhand, and slowly comforted: "Second sister-in-law, don't panic, the exercises practiced by the second brother inherit the Puji faction, and the exercises are more focused on refining the body, and ordinary swords and poisons are not easy to hit with one hit, only like a boiled frog in warm water, can you hurt him by slowly grinding and dipping it slowly for a long time." And the second brother's diet has always been rigorous, and it is not easy to start eating and drinking, let alone for a long time, I want to think about it, and it is only most convenient to start when bathing. ”

The crown princess had never experienced such a dangerous event, her face turned pale with fright, she looked at the prince, and then at Luo Kui, and choked up: "That, that, that Your Highness, Your Highness." Before she could finish her sentence, she burst into tears.

At this moment, Du Heng came in with a tray of rosewood carved peony flowers, and the white bird's nest was contained in a jade bowl, decorated with a few wolfberries and a Jishan bezoar, which was particularly red.

Luo Kui took a white porcelain spoon and stirred it slowly, the heat on her face, she took a sip of bird's nest, and then said: "Fortunately, the second brother is not deeply poisoned, and the disease has been stabilized, but to be cured, we still have to figure out what poison is in the second brother, the second sister-in-law is a little restless, and wait and see." She paused slightly, and handed over a bowl of bird's nest: "The second sister-in-law will also use some of it, and there will be some later." ”

The crown princess shook her head, pursed the corners of her lips and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness is like this, I, how can I eat." As she spoke, she burst into tears.

Luo Kui gently patted her back and persuaded softly: "The little sister knows that the second sister-in-law feels sorry for the second brother, but if the second sister-in-law loses weight, the second brother will also feel distressed when he wakes up and sees it." ”

The crown princess held Luo Kui's hand with her backhand, and said with trembling lips: "I, I, little sister, I'm just a little afraid." ”

Luo Kui tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled gently: "It's okay, second sister-in-law, the second brother will be fine, with the little sister here, the second brother will be fine." ”

The crown princess looked at Luo Kui's cold eyes, inexplicably a little relieved, she bowed her head silently, all kinds of things passed by, she was born in a prestigious family, she knew since she was a child that she would marry someone in the future, she must be a wife, she has an excellent boudoir upbringing, she is a director of the account, takes care of housework, and the female red cooks are all excellent, and she knows how to honor her in-laws, how to get along with her concubines, how to restrain her concubines, and how to discipline her children.

But after marrying into the prince's mansion and becoming a step-concubine, she knew that all that she had learned was useless.

What to look at the account of the director, the housekeeping, the female red cooking, all have their own subordinates, in an orderly manner, and do not need her to bother and effort, she married in this year, not to say that the director, is not even a ledger has not touched a handful, the ledger is the little sister in front of the little sister is watching, the inner yard is also in charge of this little sister.

And the mother-in-law is not the prince's mother-in-law, she has her own sons and daughters-in-law to be filial, and there is no need to go on the pole by herself.

The father-in-law is not an ordinary person, but the king of a country, and the father-in-law of ordinary people has to avoid talking to his daughter-in-law, let alone his majesty who has a stepmother and a stepfather, he wishes that he would not show up except for the New Year's Festival.

As for the brothers and sisters-in-law, His Majesty has many sons under his knees, and the two slaps quadruple can't be counted, all of them are from different relatives, there is really no need to move around too much, and they can get by on the surface, but they don't die in secret.

The queen mother has always felt sorry for the prince, and after marrying the step-concubine, the only requirement for the step-concubine is to serve the prince well and give birth to a son-in-law as soon as possible.

As for the crown prince, the crown princess sighed silently, she knew before she got married that there was a affectionate concubine in front of the prince, but it was a pity that both mother and son died during childbirth, and the prince was very heartbroken for a while. Now there is a side concubine and two concubines in the house, and there are no children or concubines. After getting married, it was still like this, and it wasn't until a month ago that he accepted another concubine, but he didn't favor him too much, she was still the only and unshakable princess in this mansion.

The prince is not a woman, he is not fond of luxury, and his behavior can be called a gentleman, even if he does not sleep in her room at night, he must go to sit down, say a few innocuous gossip, ask if the food is fragrant, whether there is something wrong with the body, the subordinates can make times, and there can be difficulties in the house.

It stands to reason that such a person is a good match, but the princess always feels that she is not so close to the prince, and she is always separated by a layer, which is enough to respect each other like a guest, but she is more polite than she is, and her affection is insufficient.

Until this night, the prince suddenly fell seriously ill and left a sentence to invite his little sister before he fell into a coma. She chuckled in her heart, although this little sister only appeared in the prince's mansion once, but often appeared in the prince's mouth, she had seen a few times in the queen mother's palace, looking at an ordinary girl who was not very old and had cold eyebrows, but she knew in her heart that if it were not a major event of life and death, the prince would never easily invite her to come over.

At that time, her hand holding the handkerchief kept shaking, and the cold sweat on her forehead kept falling, until then, she suddenly woke up, raised in the deep boudoir, and the days of her father and mother pampering her brother and sister were gone, and the layer between the prince and her, in fact, she had never touched the blood, he, had been protecting her in his own way, protecting her from being disturbed by the world, stained with blood.
