"Miss, it is rumored that Prince Xu is ugly and has a weird temperament. Such a person must be difficult to get along with..."

On the way from the front courtyard to the other courtyard, Chunlu kept chattering.

"Okay Chunlu, what you hear from hearsay cannot be trusted. What is the truth? Miss, you can freely weigh it in your mind."

Qiulian spoke up to stop Chunlu.

As soon as they walked to the entrance of the courtyard, they saw a dark figure sitting under the locust tree in the courtyard.

"I didn't know that King Xu was coming, but Dongfang Li was not able to welcome him from afar."

"This slave has met Prince Xu"

"This slave has met Prince Xu"

……

"Exemption."

"Thank you Lord"

"Qiulian, prepare tea for King Xu."

"Yes."

Qiulian led everyone to retreat, leaving only Dongfang Li and Nangong Xu in the yard.

"I thought you wouldn't accept the order."

Nangong Xu looked at Dongfang Li, trying to see a trace of unwillingness in her eyes.

"So, the prince told me about the imperial edict in advance, so that I can find a reason to resist the edict openly?"

Dongfang Li looked at Nangong Xu in surprise.

"If Taifu Mo had spoken, Brother Wang's decree would not have been sent to the General's Mansion."

"Grandpa is old and has already retired from the court. Such trivial matters will not disturb him."

Dongfang Li looked at Nangong Xu with a faint smile.

"Aren't you afraid that this king has a weird temperament and is difficult to get along with?"

Obviously, Nangong Xu heard Chunlu's thoughts just now.

"I think that such a large Prince Xu's palace would not abuse a princess who has just entered the house, and the prince did not stop the marriage, right?"

"As for the future life, it would be best to be able to raise eyebrows. If not, the prince only needs to inform me early. Dongfang Li will not lose the reputation of Prince Xu's Mansion."

Ever since she knew she was going to be given a marriage, Dongfang Li didn't have high hopes for this marriage. She was used to monogamy in her previous life. Although she didn't object to polygamy in this era, it might be difficult for her to accept it. .

"You can watch it."

Nangong Xu suddenly felt that he couldn't see through the woman in front of him. She was obviously very thin, but she always showed a strong confidence and indifference.

"Otherwise? You can't solve anything by seeking death and survival, can you?"

Dongfang Li looked down at the teacup in front of him, rubbing the rim of the cup with his fingertips.

"Would you like me to introduce the current situation of the palace?"

Nangong Xu looked at her fingertips, feeling amused.

"...?"

"The staff in Prince Xu's Mansion are very simple. I am the only master at the moment, and you know more or less about my situation. Do you think more people will enter the manor?"

"There are always some people who will risk their lives for some interest..."

"That's what you, Princess Xu, need to worry about."

……

"Your Majesty, according to my subordinates' observations, Miss Dongfang should be good at martial arts."

Xunyang told what happened at the General's Mansion that night without missing a word.

"Send two people over to keep watch. If anything happens, remember to report it in time."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

"Go."

puff……

Xun Yang was about to open the door when he heard the sound and quickly turned around, only to see Nangong Xu holding the table with both hands and a large pool of blood in front of him.

"My lord..."

"How are you, my lord? Xunjian..."

Xunjian came upon hearing the sound.

"Your Majesty is poisoned. Hurry up. I'll take you to the secret room. Shangguan is not here. Go and ask the doctor to come and take a look."

Xunjian picked up Nangongxu and opened the mechanism in the room. A secret door slowly appeared on the wall.

"and many more……"

Nangong Xu spoke out and stopped Xunyang, who was about to go to the doctor.

"Get Dongfang Li over here..."

"……Yes"

Xunyang was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and flew away.

……

In the secret room, Dongfang Li looked at the unconscious Nangong Xu on the couch. There was no trace of blood on his face. The veins on his black legs were bulging and the blood vessels were abrupt. Compared with the last time in Wushan, it was obviously much more serious.

"I need strong liquor, hot water, clean cotton cloth and a dagger."

After Dongfang Li got what he needed, he took out the needle bag from his sleeve and started to give Nangong Xu acupuncture.

The silver needle was inserted into the acupuncture point for three minutes, then gently twisted and slightly lifted. Half an hour had passed since then, and Dongfang Li's forehead was dripping with sweat.

"you……"

"My subordinate is looking for Jane and has seen an oriental girl."

"I write a prescription. You ask someone to grab the medicine and come back. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl. You take my nameplate and go to the General's Mansion in person. Find Qiulian and get the stinging grass. No need to wash it. Just brew it with the decoction. .”

Dongfang Li sat down, considered the amount of medicine, wrote two prescriptions and handed one to Xunjian and the other to Xunyang.

"Look for the bamboo slips and get the stinging grass, but don't disturb other people."

"Xunyang, you prepare the medicine according to the prescription, cook it into a medicinal bath, and prepare a large pot of hot water for later use."

Xunjian and Xunyang turned around and left, leaving only Dongfang Li and the unconscious Nangongxu in the secret room.

"Still pretending?"

Dongfang Li looked at the unconscious person on the couch.

"How do you know I'm awake?"

Nangong Xu opened his eyes and spoke hoarsely.

"You asked me to come here, don't you believe in my medical skills?"

"You never fail to surprise me."

"Should I be happy?"

Dongfang Li picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"I should be happy. Brother Wang gave me an almighty princess."

Nangong Xu smiled bitterly.

"Don't be too happy too early. I just helped you suppress the toxicity. You have been poisoned for too long. It will take at least two years to be completely cured."

Dongfang Li frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the time.

"careful!"

Dongfang Li dodged and caught the medicine bowl that was about to fall from Xunjian's hand.

"One stinging grass was unearthed in ten years, and I only have this one in my hand. If you knock over the medicine, your prince will be killed by you."

"What did you scare him for?"

Nangong Xu looked a little amused at Dongfang Li's deliberately vicious look.

Plop... Xunjian knelt directly on the ground.

"I am aware of my guilt. I was just shocked by what the girl said and lost my mind for a moment. Please forgive me."

"You should tell your prince this."

Dongfang Li sat on the edge of the couch holding the medicine bowl, blew the hot air gently, and then directly brought the medicine bowl to Nangong Xu's mouth.

"Girl, let me give the prince some medicine."

Xunjian looked at Dongfang Li's movements and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Are you sure that drinking it in one sip would be harder than feeding it spoonful by spoonful?"

"Uh……"

Nangong Xu raised his head and drank the medicine in one gulp from Dongfang Li's hand.

"I'm going to bleed you and detoxify you in a quarter of an hour. If you feel dizzy, tell me right away."

Dongfang Li pulled the quilt aside and covered Nangong Xu tightly.

"You have to endure the heat."

"it is good."

For Dongfang Li, Nangong Xu could always let him do whatever he wanted. Whether it was the first time he ate at Heyue Xuan or the last time he stopped by Wushan, she gave him a feeling of peace of mind, as if the relationship between the two of them was This is how we should get along with each other.

"Okay, let's get up and go see how Xunyang's preparations are going. He needs to take a medicinal bath immediately after the bloodletting. Ask him to be ready at any time."

"Yes."

Xunjian got up and went to find Xunyang.

"It's natural for you to command me."

"That just proves their loyalty to you, doesn't it?"
