The queen's heart is unpredictable

Looking at Duanmu Yu, Zhang Xiaohua knew that she would never do such a ruthless thing as sending Duanmu Nian out of the palace, but seeing Duanmu Yu's pitiful look, Zhang Xiaohua's heart suddenly softened.

"Then I'll sleep with you for a while, and I'll go back after dawn, okay?" Zhang Xiaohua asked tentatively.

"Not good." Duanmu Yu replied firmly.

Looking at Duanmu Yu's childish look, Zhang Xiaohua was really helpless. She stretched out her hand to pinch Duanmu Yu, and said, "If you keep messing around like this, I'll just leave. You go back to Chaosun Palace alone... "

Hearing this, Duanmu Yu stared straight at Zhang Xiaohua.Until she stared at Zhang Xiaohua until her whole body became hairy, she suddenly shook her head and said, "You have changed."

Faced with this accusation, Zhang Xiaohua felt a little ridiculous, "Why did I change?"

"Since that stinky child appeared, you have been treating me worse and worse."

???

Duanmuyu, can we rely on our conscience?

On weekdays, did you treat you half a cent?

Duanmiannian is sick right now, why are you still eating dry vinegar here?

Are you the reincarnation of the Vinegar King?

Zhang Xiaohua felt a little funny, "Is it interesting that you argue with a child?"

"I don't care." Right now Duanmu Yu put on a completely shameless look.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't bother to talk to her, and said resolutely, "If Xiao Nian wakes up, I will definitely go back and take care of her. Now if you want to sleep, go to sleep, if you don't sleep, I will really leave..."

Zhang Xiaohua made a gesture to leave, but Duanmuyu quickly stopped her.

"All right, all right, what's the matter with you? You're not as nice to me as before, why are you getting more and more irritable?" After finishing speaking, Duanmu Yu pulled Zhang Xiaohua to the bed with a helpless expression.

After lying down, Duanmu Yu rubbed Zhang Xiaohua's soft palm, and said softly, "The poison on Xiao Nian's body will not harm your life, so there is no need to worry."

"But after all, he is a child with weak bones, so he needs to pay more attention." Zhang Xiaohua curled up in Duanmu Yu's arms.The uneasiness of the whole night is gone at this moment.

She closed her eyes with peace of mind, feeling drowsy, she murmured, "Sleep, sleep, I will go to Xiao Nian's place when the sun rises."

In the middle of speaking, Zhang Xiaohua lost consciousness and fell asleep directly.

Duanmu Yu looked at the person in her arms, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch Zhang Xiaohua's cheek, "It's not your child, why are you worrying so much?"

it's a silly girl

Thinking of this, Duanmu Yu also closed his eyes.

It was a good night's sleep, but when Zhang Xiaohua woke up, there was nothing around her, and the sky was bright.

She suddenly woke up and sat up, put on her shoes and rushed out.

On the way, I happened to meet a maid from Junyue Palace, and she hurriedly asked, "How is the little prince, are you awake?"

"I woke up early in the morning, the monarch is accompanying the little prince inside."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly became a little puzzled.She walked into the room quickly, and saw that Duanmu Yu was carefully feeding Duanmu Nian with medicine. The harmonious scene made people feel that something was wrong.

In fact, Duanmuyu, apart from urging Duanmu Nian to study, didn't care much about him on weekdays.

Even if Duanmu Nian was poisoned like yesterday, she did not show any concern.

Right now, he and she actually took the initiative to accompany Duanmu Nian, and even personally fed Duanmu Nian with medicine.

it's a bit unusual

"You came down so early today?" Zhang Xiaohua suppressed her surprise and walked over slowly.

Duanmu Yu raised his head upon hearing the sound, and said sourly, "What's the matter? Do you think I'm an eyesore here?"

Zhang Xiaohua choked on these words, and Zhang Xiaohua couldn't laugh or cry, "On weekdays, you won't come here until the afternoon, it's just a little strange."

Hearing this, Duanmu Yu sighed.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "My little prince has been poisoned, and my concubine is always ignoring me. I'm not in the mood to go to court today, so I just asked them to hand over the papers and didn't go to the government review hall."

For Duanmu Yu's willful and reckless behavior, Zhao Xiaohua was really helpless.

But just when Zhang Xiaohua was about to say something, Deng Li suddenly walked in from the outside.

"People—" Deng Li just opened his mouth, and a hearty laugh sounded outside.

"Smelly girl, you haven't come to see me for so long. If your brat hadn't been sick, you probably wouldn't have remembered me at all!" Accompanied by laughter and complaints, an old woman with gray hair walked outside. Come in.

Seeing the old lady, Duanmu Yu immediately laughed, "It's good enough to let you enter the palace, how can there be so much talk?"

The old lady immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "It's not that I wanted to come. Seeing that your tone doesn't seem to welcome me, then I'm leaving."

"Okay, stop making trouble." Duanmu Yu seemed to be sure that the old lady would not leave, she turned sideways, hugged Duanmu on the bed and said, "Hurry up and show him what kind of poison you have. "

The old lady really didn't leave, and facing Duanmu Yu's haughty look, she didn't show displeasure at all, but walked quickly to the bed.

Glancing at Duanmian's face, the old lady stepped forward calmly and grabbed Duanmian's wrist.

Just for a moment, the old lady suddenly sneered, "With such poison, you have the nerve to invite me here?"

"Okay, okay, don't brag about your own abilities at this time, the most important thing is to cure this brat as soon as possible." Duanmu Yu, with an impatient look, didn't seem to be asking for help at all.

The old lady was not annoyed, and took out a small package with her.After spreading it out, I saw that the small package was filled with densely packed small silver needles.

The old lady casually picked up a small silver needle and stabbed it towards Duanmu Nian's body.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua realized that although the old lady had a haggard face, the skin on her hands was very delicate, like a girl.

While the old lady was administering the needles, Duanmu Yu had a calm face, and ordered everyone to prepare hot water and towels.

When the old lady closed the needle, she wrung out a hot towel and handed it over.

The appearance is smooth and flowing, as if Duanmu Yu has already gotten used to it.

"How?" Duanmu Yu asked.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious." The old lady put away her things, "Just follow my prescription for two days and you'll be fine."

The old lady wiped her hands with a hot towel, then raised her head to look at Duanmu Yu, "But speaking of it, I haven't seen this flower poison for many years."

The old lady said seriously, "Grass flowers are poisonous, but there is a prescription that is very effective in treating cough and asthma. It needs to be used as a medicine, so the medicine farmers picked them wantonly in the past few years, and now there are not many of them."

"This medicine is poisonous, and it can be used as medicine in the pharmacy?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at the old lady in disbelief.

Upon hearing the sound, the old lady turned her head and looked at Zhang Xiaohua carefully.

"Yo, this girl—"

"Okay, okay." Before the old man finished speaking, Duanmu Yu interrupted her directly, "You have been busy for so long, go and rest."

The old lady snorted ungratefully, "After you ordered me, you are going to cross the river and demolish the bridge, right?"

"How is it possible?" Duanmu Yu smiled and shook his head, "Of course someone has prepared good wine and food to entertain you."

After all, Duanmu Yu asked Deng Li to invite the old lady out.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Duanmu Yu and said, "Why did she spot it at a glance?"

"After all, she is a human being, and there is nothing that can satisfy her." Seeing Zhang Xiaohua, Duanmu Yu was a little worried, and comforted her, "Don't worry, she won't say anything."

Now that Duanmu Yu said so, Zhang Xiaohua naturally stopped thinking about it.

"

correct. Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought of something, "Don't you let him go to Qi Yao's place to have a look?" "

"Xiao Nian is a child, and his body is too weak to handle the poison, so he hastily detoxified. It's been so busy for so long now, shouldn't we entertain the guests first, and then talk about other things?"

That said, it seems right

Zhang Xiaohua nodded, then turned around to take care of Duanmian.But Duanmu Yu turned around and went to find the Poison Doctor Immortal—Grandma Feng.

"Smelly girl, have you figured out what to do with me for the next month?" Feng Xiaoxiao looked up at Duanmu Yu while eating wine and meat.

Duanmu Yu smiled and said casually, "Of course I'm taking you back to the mountains."

Hearing this, Feng Xiaoxiao frowned, "Did you forget that the last day of the three-year period is coming soon."

Duanmu Yu pondered for a moment, "Oh, I forgot."

Seeing Duanmu Yu's light answer, Feng Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "Damn girl, I don't care about my own life, who else can I expect to care about you?"

"Life and death are determined, wealth and honor are in the sky." Duanmu Yu shook his head indifferently, "It's useless to think so much."

Feng Xiaoxiao said seriously, "It's not good for you to have such a mentality, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about that little girl."

Speaking of that, Feng Xiaoxiao raised her chin in the direction of Junyue Palace.

"I'm indeed old, but I'm not stupid." Seeing Duanmu Yu suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, Feng Xiaoxiao knew that he had guessed right.

She said, "Now she is pretending to be a man and staying in the palace. You are alive now, so you are not afraid of others knowing her identity. But have you ever thought about what will happen to her if you die?"

"I'll send her away first." Duanmu Yu's voice suddenly became hoarse.

Feng Xiaoxiao sneered, "You are just a brainless girl!"

After sighing, she shook her head and said, "I thought she treated you differently, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn."

"It was because of her consideration that I didn't agree to you." Duanmu Yu's eyes flashed a trace of melancholy, "I don't agree to you, I can still wait until the day when the poison occurs. But if I agree to you, then I may Tomorrow I will die."

"You can't say that, after all, there is still a [-]% possibility—"

"[-]%" Duanmu Yu smiled, "Isn't this the same as impossible?"

Hearing this, Feng Xiaoxiao shook his head, "You have made up your mind, haven't you?"

"Yes." Duanmu Yu replied firmly.

"Does that girl know about this?"

"I don't know." Duanmu Yu paused, "Also, I warn you, don't be troublesome."

"All right, all right, you don't want your life yourself, what can I do?" Feng Xiaoxiao took a sip of wine and said, "However, I heard that there was a crab feast in the palace last year. I have to stay, Let’s go after this meal.”

"Okay, before that, some of them will stay in the palace." Duanmu Yu thought for a while, "It's just that you can teach them something about detoxification."

"Who do you think I am? Let me teach others casually! After all, I am also a famous poison doctor fairy, teaching people to detoxify is—"

"Take all the medicinal materials that are treasured in the palace if you like them, don't bother with them." Just as he was speaking, Duanmu Yu suddenly stopped, and turned his head slightly to look outside the room.

Outside the house, Zhang Xiaohua was hesitating how to talk to Duanmu Yu about her plan.In the next moment, she heard a slight smile from inside, "What are you doing standing outside the door? I'll talk about it when I come in first..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua pouted all of a sudden.She obviously walked very carefully, why was Duanmu Yu overheard her?

"Are you guys talking about important things?" Zhang Xiaohua opened the door and said cautiously, "If you have something to talk about, then I'll come back later."

"It's okay." Duanmu Yu lost the seriousness just now, put on a smiling face and said, "Since you're here, you just have something to eat."

"No, no, I can go back—"

"Don't be polite to this old lady." Duanmu Yu said firmly, "She can't eat so much."

"Who said that?" Feng Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied, but she glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, seeing Zhang Xiaohua's uneasy and frightened cute look, she lost her temper and said, "Eat it, I really can't eat it." .Furthermore, I am not in charge here, you just listen to her."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua picked up the chopsticks.

After Zhang Xiaohua finished eating, she remembered the real purpose of coming here.

She turned her head and glanced at Duanmu Yu, then at Feng Xiaoxiao who was eating and drinking.

She said, "Now that Xiao Nian's poison has been cured, I think it's necessary to find out the murderer."

"What's there to worry about? It must be Qi Yao." Duanmu Yu gave the answer calmly.

Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips, she didn't know why Duanmu Yu was always so impatient with Qi Yao.

But this time, he and she also felt that Qi Yao should have done it.After all, before the incident, only Qi Yao came to her place.

"You believe it is him, but others don't think so." Zhang Xiaohua said seriously, "We must find strong evidence to prove that Qi Yao did all this."

"Little girl is much more reasonable than you." Feng Xiaoxiao listened from the side, and couldn't help showing a look of approval to Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled shyly, and then said, "I came up with a solution, but I need the help of my mother-in-law."

Feng Xiaoxiao had a good impression of Zhang Xiaohua, she said, "Say"

Zhang Xiaohua chatted with Feng Xiaoxiao for a long time, and only then did she realize that Feng Xiaoxiao was actually a well-known expert in poisoning and detoxification in the world!

While Zhang Xiaohua was envious, Duanmuyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Did you see that she is very good at using poison and detoxifying, so you want to learn from her?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said nothing, while Feng Xiaoxiao said, "I really like this little girl, if she is willing to learn from me, I'm quite willing to teach."

"She hasn't learned martial arts yet, don't go back and learn half-baked, it will embarrass you." Although Zhang Xiaohua has been recognized, Duanmuyu is quite relieved.

But facing Feng Xiaoxiao's love for Zhang Xiaohua, Duanmu Yu felt a little sour in his heart.

Feng Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, "My old lady won't live for a few more years, it's embarrassing to turn around, I don't know anyway."

This tone was actually very similar to Duanmu Yu's.

"Okay, I'll send you there after I teach this little girl well." Duanmu Yu pointedly glanced at Feng Xiaoxiao.

Feng Xiaoxiao sneered, "Don't always think about handing over the mess to me, I won't accept it."

"Anyway, it's up to you in the end." After Duanmu Yu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Xiaohua and walked outside.

When she came to the door, she paused and said leisurely, "After eating and drinking, I will have someone take you to Fengyi Hall. You must remember what Xiaohua told you just now."

"I'm not old enough, you don't need to tell me so many times"

Duanmu Yu sneered, led Zhang Xiaohua, and left directly.

On the way, Zhang Xiaohua was a little worried, "Isn't it too good for us to leave like this?"

"Don't worry, I don't have that much emphasis on her."

Hearing what Duanmuyu said, Zhang Xiaohua immediately became curious about their relationship.

If Duanmu Yu was poisoned by Feng Xiaoxiao who helped her detoxify it, then Duanmu Yu should be grateful to Feng Xiaoxiao.But looking at it now, she felt that Feng Xiaoxiao seemed to be more tolerant of Duanmu Yu.

"Because she owes me a life, and she probably won't get it in this life." Duanmu Yu replied casually, then turned his head and said, "Why are you so curious about everyone? Even such an old woman will not be spared."

"I was just wondering what happened?

Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips, "I haven't asked you what the last words you said to her meant."

You have the nerve to ask me back!

Zhang Xiaohua stared at Duanmu Yu, but Duanmu Yu had an innocent face, "What do you say?"

"Just what to say in the end, if you want to send me to her!" Zhang Xiaohua pouted, and then secretly pinched Duanmu Yu, "Tell me, do you despise me?"

"I dare not!" Duanmu Yu laughed, "Aren't I afraid that you are thirsty for knowledge and want to learn from Feng Xiaoxiao?"

"If I had to choose to leave you, then I would rather not learn!" Zhang Xiaohua said firmly.

She looked at Duanmu Yu with burning eyes, "A person's life is only more than 3 days. It is less to spend a day. I already had too much time before, and I spent it alone. I don't want to spend the next day. separate from you."

Hearing this, Duanmu Yu's eyes trembled slightly.She smiled and stretched out her hand to touch Zhang Xiaohua's head, "But no one can say for sure about life and death."

"So please work hard to live, and I will also work hard to let the two of us spend more time together." Zhang Xiaohua was very moved, and squeezed Duanmu Yu's hand.

I want to be with you forever, until the end of my life.

Duanmuyu stared at Zhang Xiaohua, she nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

The sun was just right, and the two walked hand in hand in the palace, which seemed to be a scenic spot.

After noon, Feng Xiaoxiao went to Fengyi Hall to help Qi Yao detoxify.

Afterwards, Deng Li came to report that it was Qi Yao's index finger that suddenly tingled, and he was already unable to move.

"The queen has been poisoned for too long, and the residual poison remains in her body, and it is considered good if it only reaches her fingertips." Feng Xiaoxiao looked regretful.

Qi Yao lay there, startled, "How is that possible? The poison of flowers and plants..."

In the middle of speaking, Qi Yao suddenly pursed his lips, turning his head away with an ugly expression.

Duanmu Yu on the side sneered, "The queen is really powerful, we don't even know what poison it is, but you already know what it is..."

"The Immortal Poison Doctor said it just now, and I heard it." Qi Yao's face turned red and then pale.

The corners of Duanmu Yu's mouth were curved, and he didn't press the question, but turned his head to look at Feng Xiaoxiao beside him, and asked, "Did you just say that?"

"I... I don't remember either." Feng Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly, "I'm getting older and my memory is not very good, maybe I said it."

"Yes, yes! The Poison Doctor Immortal said just now." Qi Yao seemed to have grasped the straw to save his life. After a while of pandering, he suddenly felt an unbearable tingling pain between his fingers, and he tightened his hands immediately. Eyebrows, lying on the bed with a painful expression.

"Poison... Poison Doctor Immortal." Qi Yao's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, he asked, "My... my poison, can I get rid of it?"

"Poison, in addition to detoxification, can also use poison to fight poison." Feng Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "If you can find some medicinal juice of flower and herbal poison, and then match it with silver needles and cupping pots, you can use air to expel the remaining poison. Inside the body. It's just..." Feng Xiaoxiao said in pain, "It's just that there are no flower poisons to use as medicine, it's really—"

"Now I'll send someone to look for it immediately!" Qi Yao looked at the little eunuch beside him with a painful face.

But Duanmu Yu said coldly from the side, "It's useless, Gu has already sent people to all the medicine dealers in the capital to ask, they don't have flowers and plants at all, let alone the poison extracted from flowers and plants."

"How is it possible?" Qi Yao looked at Duanmu Yu in disbelief.

Duanmu Yu raised his eyebrows, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Imperial Physicians Guo and Imperial Physician He of the Imperial Hospital, they are in charge of supervising this matter."

Qi Yao originally thought that Duanmu Yu deliberately made things difficult because of the discord between the two of them on weekdays, but he didn't expect that Imperial Physician Guo and Imperial Physician He nodded helplessly.

Qi Yao's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"At this time, we can only make long-term plans!" Feng Xiaoxiao said

, "The residual poison will only make the fingertips tingle, and will not hurt the body anymore. You don't have to worry about it. It hurts every day, but it's... better than getting on the body."

"Don't worry, Gu will continue to send people to look for flowers and plants, and will not let the queen continue to suffer." After Duanmu Yu put on a show, he confessed a few words casually.

Three days later, Qi Yao, who was originally poisoned because of poor blood color, now looked in a trance, and lost a lot of weight all of a sudden.

"The queen is not recuperating in Fengyi Hall, so she came to see Gu, is there something wrong?" Duanmu Yu looked at Qi Yao with a smile.

Enduring the pain, Qi Yao said tremblingly, "My lord, the cause of the poisoning of the little prince and the little prince has not yet been found out. The minister feels that it is right to send someone to investigate the matter quickly!"

"This incident happened suddenly, and there are not many clues. I wonder if the queen has any good strategies?"

"What happened in Junyue Palace must have something to do with Concubine Yue!" Qi Yao said through gritted teeth.

In the end, Duanmu Yu bent the corners of his lips, "Concubine Yuejun has already proved her innocence before, and now there is no evidence, so it seems that it is not good to conclude that it is related to her at this time."

"The monarch should quickly send someone to thoroughly investigate Junyue Palace! Maybe he hasn't destroyed the evidence yet. If poisonous flowers and plants are found in Junyue Palace, wouldn't it prove that the matter was caused by Concubine Yue?" for?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Yu immediately showed a gratified smile, nodded and said, "The queen is smart, she really thinks more thoughtfully."

After all, Duanmu Yu was about to call Deng Li.

But Deng Li took small steps, walked up to Duanmu Yu and said, "Just now Zibat caught a little eunuch in the Grand Hyatt Palace, that little eunuch is a thief, and Zibat also found a little bottle."

"Oh?"

"The little bottle has been checked by the Poison Doctor Immortal, and it is the poison of flowers and plants!" Deng Li raised his head and glanced at Qi Yao next to him, "and the little eunuch admitted that it was the queen who asked him to sneak into the king's house secretly." Yue Gong, planted flower and plant poisons on Concubine Yue!"

"Presumptuous!" Qi Yao yelled and clapped the table, but immediately his entire face was distorted due to the pain in his fingertips.
