princess is fine

Xiao Rongjin listened to the news from the people below, paused the pen in his hand for a moment, and then said: "Wu Minghao looks rough, but he is actually quite scheming. He is in charge of the military department, and he must have a good relationship with the army. Rong Can, it's not surprising."

She pondered and said, "Is there any news from the palace?"

"There has been no change in the palace for the past few days, but the Holy Majesty seems to be..." The people below paused before continuing: "The concubine Li of Weiyang Palace seems to have been favored by the Holy Majesty recently."

"Li Concubine?" Xiao Rongjin called out the title without any impression.

"Because of the matter of the two princes, the Holy Majesty seems quite upset, and he doesn't even want to go there with the two empresses. When I went to the harem these days, I went directly to Weiyang Palace to rest."

"I understand, you go back first." Xiao Rongjin waved his hand to tell the man to step back, and leaned on the soft couch beside him with his forehead.

Seeing her, Zhiqin hurried up and asked, "Your Highness, do you have a headache again?"

Xiao Rongjin moved slightly, but did not answer.

Zhiqin felt a little anxious, turned around and looked at the little maid beside her, and said in a low voice, "Go and see if the medicine is ready."

The little maid let out a soft hey, then turned and went out.

Zhiqin used to lightly cover Xiao Rongjin with the thin quilt on the soft couch, but saw that there was a little sweat on her forehead, and hurriedly twisted the towel to wipe it. After repeating this several times, Xiao Rongjin The furrowed brow seemed to relax a bit.At the same time, Zhiqi had already brought in the medicine.

Hearing this movement, Xiao Rongjin sat up propped up, looking at the medicine bowl that Zhiqi brought.

She wanted to take the medicine directly, after all, after drinking it, she would not have to suffer from this pain today.More importantly, she can also have the energy to help Xuan'er deal with the group of tigers and wolves.

But the words that that person said before parting were still in her ears.

Xiao Rongjin frowned, and said to Zhiqi: "Let's go." Then he said to the two of them: "I, Shenshi, will go to the palace to pay my respects to the queen mother. During this time, no one can come to see me." pass."

Both Zhiqin and Qin agreed, and then served Xiao Rongjin to rest.

After resting for a while, Xiao Rongjin's complexion improved a bit, and she entered the palace.

With the current situation, she rarely went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see the Holy Spirit except to ask for peace. Firstly, she didn't want to put people off the topic, and secondly, she didn't want to add trouble to her father and emperor.The establishment of a crown prince still depends on the emperor's own thoughts after all...

Thinking like this, Xiao Rongjin suddenly heard a voice saying slowly: "Sister Huang."

When she looked around, it was Xiao Rongcan.

Xiao Rongjin said: "Come to greet the empress?"

Xiao Rongcan nodded in response, but his face was a little stiff, as if he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Rongjin smiled slightly: "If there is nothing wrong, let's go see the imperial concubine, don't tell her to wait." After finishing speaking, she suddenly felt a tight pain in her chest, and coughed lightly.

A look of worry flashed across Xiao Rongcan's face, and finally he couldn't help asking: "Is Huang Jie okay?"

Xiao Rongjin shook her head: "No problem." She looked at Xiao Rongcan's hesitant face, took a step slightly closer, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's been difficult to have both, since ancient times, since I'm in this position, it's inevitable Make some choices, you don't have to be embarrassed."

Xiao Rongcan lowered his head slightly and said, "Rongcan knows."

"Okay," Xiao Rongjin didn't say anything anymore, and urged: "Go quickly."

Zhiqin looked at his highness looking at the second prince's back in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "Your highness, the second prince, he... isn't he His highness He Rongxuan..."

"Everyone has something to protect." Xiao Rongjin's eyes still stayed on the already empty palace road, and he sighed slightly: "Let's go, go and pay your respects to the queen mother."

……

Xiao Rongcan entered Changxin Palace, and saw the maid beside the imperial concubine walking towards him quickly, his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with the concubine mother?"

"Your Majesty is very restless at the moment, she has already smashed many things. The servant girl has already retreated around, waiting for you to come." The maid explained the situation and led Xiao Rongcan into the hall.

Xiao Rongcan looked at the trembling body lying on the table in the room, hurried over, supported Zhao Guifei and said: "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, Can'er is here..."

Concubine Zhao looked up at her son, with horror in her eyes, she grabbed Xiao Rongcan's clothes: "Can'er, Can'er, my Can'er, you're here... You're here..."

"Mother concubine is having nightmares again?" Xiao Rongcan gently straightened the decoration on Concubine Zhao's temples, and then said softly, "It's nothing, it's just a dream." After a moment of reassurance, Concubine Zhao's eyes gradually regained clarity. After such tossing, my body has long lost strength, so I can only lean on Xiao Rongcan's body, and said slowly: "I dreamed of Concubine Yun."

Xiao Rongcan's body froze, and he patted the hand on Concubine Zhao Gui's back.

Concubine Zhao didn't care, she said to herself: "She is still so demure, sitting there quietly, not talking, just smiling..."

"Concubine Mother..." Xiao Rongcan gently wiped the tears that shed from her face at an unknown time, and said softly, "Concubine Yun is a kind person, she will not blame you."

A trace of despair flashed in Concubine Zhao's eyes, and she shook her head: "No, you don't know... this Palace... I... Mother Concubine has done too many wrong things, even if she forgives me, the Holy Majesty will not let me go Mine...and Xiao Rongjin, Xiao Rongjin, she..."

She looked up at Xiao Rongcan and said, "Can'er, I'm afraid...I'm afraid that I'm like that woman..."

That woman refers to Concubine Zhou Gui.

Xiao Rongcan slightly put her arms around Concubine Zhao Gui, and heard her softly say in her arms: "So, Can'er, you must fight."

Concubine Zhao's words were still crying, she was as weak as a flower about to be broken, but it was like a sword piercing Xiao Rongcan's heart, telling him that he had no choice.

"My son knows, my son will listen to my concubine mother." Xiao Rongcan closed her eyes and replied word by word.

Concubine Zhao Guifei felt as if she had taken a reassurance when she heard these words, the uneasy look on her face gradually faded, she leaned on Xiao Rongcan and said: "Can'er, Concubine Mother is tired."

"You should have a good rest and take care of yourself." Xiao Rongcan helped her to rest, and told her again: "If you have any discomfort, you must ask the imperial physician to see it."

Concubine Zhao replied softly, with her usual gentle expression on her face again: "Can'er should go back earlier, if there is nothing wrong, walk around more with your grandfather and uncle."

Xiao Rongcan responded calmly, bowed and then withdrew.

Not long after Xiao Rongcan left, Concubine Zhao got up again and called the maid just now to come in.

"Is there any news from Mr. Shen in the past few days?"

"The family said that he went out a few days ago and came back yesterday. But he has been in the courtyard in the south of the city and has never been out." The maid said respectfully: "Your Majesty wants him to enter the palace?"

"No rush." ​​Concubine Zhao said indifferently, "When it's time to use him, I will tell you."

She glanced at the maid, and that person bowed and retreated, closing the door by the way.

Concubine Zhao sat in a daze for a while, then suddenly covered her face with her hands, and made some noise from her mouth, but she couldn't tell whether it was laughing or crying, but some water had already leaked between her fingers: "You guys forced me to do this."

……

"Smelly girl, the medicine is only effective for three hours. If you don't speak again, I will make you speechless for the rest of your life." The old man surnamed Shen threatened lightly, looking at Xi Chao who was sitting silently on the chair. : "I'm sorry for someone's temper, but it's not that good."

Xi Chao glanced at him, then turned around to look at the box on the table, and said dryly, "I have nothing to say to you."

She was not afraid of angering the old man, anyway, in the current situation, no matter what he said, the strange old man would not be satisfied, and would only try those boring and weird medicines on her.For example, the voice-loss drug just now, in order to grasp the dose standard, blamed the old man for saying that it would make her dumb for three hours, never more than a minute.

She still has a sore throat now, but it is estimated that the time when the medicine was given just now should be almost the same as three hours.Xi Chao sighed that this person used the medicine accurately, and at the same time scolded the monster angrily, feeling conflicted in his heart.

Seeing what she said, old man Shen had a sneer on his face: "You deliberately didn't speak, but you just wanted to lie to me that the dose was wrong. Are you so uncooperative?"

When the old man said the last sentence, his hand was already reaching for the box.

Xi Chao was slightly startled, but his eyes kept following the box.

Ever since Old Man Shen came in with the box just now, she had a bad premonition.Although the medicine had the effect of losing voice, it did not affect the five senses, so the strange fragrance emitted from the box and the faint movement made her sure that the box contained must be some kind of poison, and it was a living thing.

"Fortunately, you have to know that some people may not see such treasures in their entire lives." A rare and pure smile appeared on Old Man Shen's indifferent face: "What's more, you can not only see, but ..." He paused deliberately.

Xi Chao felt his dry throat hurt even more, swallowed a mouthful of saliva before uttering hoarsely: "What's the matter?"

"You said..." Old man Shen opened the box, revealing the true face of the thing: "How about letting it bite you?"

Xi Chao didn't answer.

Her eyes fell on the baby, her pupils dilated slightly. Compared with the fear caused by this thing, the sore throat that could not make a sound for three hours was simply insignificant.

It was a pitch-black scorpion, with only a little golden light on its tail. It was about to enter winter. This scorpion, which made people feel horrified when they saw it, was not very active, and only moved slightly when the box was opened. After a while, the golden light loomed as it moved.

It is true that Xi Chao had never seen this thing before, but she had heard it mentioned by the elders of Yaolu about the description of its appearance.It's just that she never thought that Xi Chao would have the chance to meet the legendary poison.

The name of this scorpion is not terrible, it is called Chijinyu.Xi Chao stared at the poisonous substance, forcing himself to recall some impressions of it in his mind, Chi Jin 虿, Chi Jin 虿...

Old man Shen saw that she was speechless in fright, the smile on her face had faded, and the indifference of that time had returned, he stretched out his hand to pinch the front end of the scorpion, and leaned towards Xi Chao...
