Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 209 The poison did not take effect
"It's absolutely true! Emperor Beiling promised himself that he would give that little girl to me!"
"Why is this happening?"
"Humph! You've got your eyes on the military map in my hand. Hehe, let me tell you, the map contains the secrets of our Beixi army's deployment and defense equipment. It's used to deal with my second brother. The Emperor of Beiling wants to exchange his daughter for this treasure. You're dreaming. Not only do I want his daughter, I also want his army, especially the troops under the command of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Hehe, that's exactly what I want..."
Zhong Qing's expression changed slightly. This deposed prince is really ambitious.
On the other side of the wall, the chill was growing stronger and stronger. Prince Gong and the Princess must have been furious.
"Then, could your highness tell me where the military map is hidden?"
"Haha! Such an important thing must be hidden in an extremely secret place. Except for me, haha, no one else can find it..."
"Bang!" Before he finished speaking, the man fell on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
This guy not only wants to defile Rose, but also wants to target my uncle.
What Jiang Xue couldn't stand the most was someone attacking his relatives. Now, he was in big trouble.
When their eyes met, she read the same determination in Xiao Zhan's eyes - to get rid of him as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, he is unconscious." After confirming that the deposed prince had completely lost consciousness, Zhong Qing reported to Xiao Zhan.
"Well, you've worked hard, please step down first."
Xiao Zhan gently spun the teacup in his hand, and the mechanical wall quietly returned to its original position.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Jiang Xue asked after a brief silence.
"Changle, we are thinking the same thing."
After all, they are on the same path, and there is no need for them to say much to each other.
"The military map is the key. As long as we can get the military map, Xiao Gui and his uncle will be able to escape safely."
"That's right, but time is running out. We must get the military map before my father officially issues an order for my ninth sister to get married."
Otherwise, not only would Xiao Gui be imprisoned, but even the Marquis of Zhenbei might not be spared.
"Wow!" A basin of cold salt water was poured over his head, and the deposed prince suddenly woke up.
The chill penetrated his bones and he couldn't help shivering.
"Where is this?"
His hands and feet were bound tightly with chains, and he was nailed to the cold wall like a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Your Highness, I hope you are well."
Xiao Zhan sat leisurely on the rattan chair, holding a folding fan and waving it gently, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Xiao Zhan! Why did you lock me up? Let me go immediately! Otherwise I will tell Emperor Beiling and you will be in big trouble!" The deposed prince shouted viciously.
Xiao Zhan waved his hand, stood up and walked towards him step by step, "Your Highness, even if you want to complain, you have to leave my dark cell first."
"You, what do you want to do?" The abandoned prince's scalp was numb from the cold air emanating from Xiao Zhan, and fear surged like a tide. He instinctively wanted to shrink back, but found that there was no way to retreat.
"Don't be nervous. I just have a few small questions to ask you. As long as you answer honestly, I promise not to hurt you at all. But if you try to play tricks, I don't have much patience. If I accidentally cut off your ears or nose, it won't look good."
As Xiao Zhan spoke, the folding fan in his hand slowly slid from the deposed prince's forehead to the tip of his nose.
"Xiao Zhan, I am your father's guest of honor. Even the Emperor Beiling is polite to me. How dare you touch me? Aren't you afraid that my men will report to the Emperor Beiling? I tell you, if I don't return for more than three days, they will notify the court. Then you will see what to do."
Outside, Jiang Xue had been waiting at the door of the dark cell for a long time. She didn't care about the screams inside. After all, she was accustomed to such sounds during her years in the Xichen Cold Palace.
"Princess, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. You should go back to your room first to avoid catching a cold." Fudong considerately put a thick cloak on her.
"Prince Gong has been in there for so long and hasn't come out yet, which means that the deposed prince hasn't spoken yet. This matter concerns my uncle, and I can't relax." Jiang Xue felt uneasy. The deposed prince mentioned his uncle's army, how can he get it? And how can he get it?
The only clue in her mind pointed to Lu Linyi...
The Emperor of Beiling has been on guard against his uncle for a long time. If the deposed crown prince really uses his cousin as a breakthrough, the Emperor of Beiling will definitely not care about his cousin! Just as her thoughts were flying, Xiaochun ran over in a hurry, looking panicked.
"Princess, something big has happened!" Xiaochun said breathlessly.
Jiang Xue frowned, "What's going on?"
"Xiao Gui has a severe fever and is now unconscious!"
"What did you say?" Jiang Xue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She had clearly cleared the arsenic in Xiao Gui's body, so how could this happen again?
The noise in the dark cell continued. Jiang Xue looked back at the cell door and then turned her eyes to Xiao Gui's room.
"Fudong, stay here and keep an eye on it. Tell me immediately if there is any movement. I have to go check on Xiao Gui right now."
"understand!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xue took Xiaochun and hurried out.
In the room, Xiao Gui's cheeks were flushed, and she knew she was talking nonsense.
"Don't, don't come near... I, I don't drink..."
Xiao Gui waved his hands wildly in the air, as if trying to avoid something scary.
"Xiao Gui, it's me, wake up!"
Jiang Xue patted her cheek gently, and the scorching heat made her frown.
Why is it burning so badly?
She gently placed her fingers on Xiao Gui's pulse and after a careful diagnosis, her expression froze instantly!
"Thousand Silk Gu!"
There are actually Thousand Silk Gu hidden in her body?
Thousand-thread Gu originated from Qian Country. The Five Immortal Sect of Qian Country was good at refining Gu, and this was one of their masterpieces.
Although the Five Immortals Sect later declined, the art of poison was passed down and was inherited in various parts of the Ten Kingdoms.
This Thousand Silk Gu is made from spiders, one of the five poisonous creatures. Its toxicity is not the strongest, but it is extremely stubborn. Unless the blood of the person who made the Gu is used as a medicine, it is difficult to completely eliminate it!
The poisoned person will be tortured by the poison for a long time, suffering from unbearable pain and high fever!
"Why didn't the princess show these symptoms before?" Xiaochun asked puzzledly as she followed Jiang Xue's instructions to get water and wipe it.
"Maybe it's because there was arsenic in the body before, and the two poisons inhibited each other, so the poison didn't take effect." Jiang Xue kept changing the wet towels with her hands, her mind working rapidly, thinking about a rescue plan.
I originally thought that the arsenic was done by the Queen, but now it seems that Xiao Gui may have taken it on his own in order to suppress the toxins in his body.
After a busy schedule, Jiang Xue finally helped Xiao Gui reduce his fever, but the key to curing the poison was to find an antidote.
"No, fourth brother...save me...Beixi...Prince..." Xiao Gui's crying talk in his sleep made Jiang Xue's heart tighten, and the shadow of the deposed Prince of Beixi appeared again.
"Don't worry, you are safe now. You are at Fourth Brother's house."
Without the halo of a princess, Xiao Gui was just a fourteen-year-old girl. She had no maternal family to rely on, and was not loved by her father. Although she was nominally the queen, she was actually bullied. Even a foreign deposed prince dared to treat her with contempt and insult.
