The imperial concubine bows down to me

"You—" Xue Jiang's arrogant and indifferent expression and tone made Du Qinning very headache and anxious.

With her temperament corrupted, she was about to tighten her hands again to threaten Xue Jiang, but at this time Liu Shuyan, who was a few meters away from the two of them, spoke to stop her.

"Qin Ning, take him to the prison first, and then please trouble Mr. Wei to help clean up the mess tonight. I will find a way to deal with His Highness." As he spoke, Liu Shuyan was like the last time he was in the Lizheng Hall. He picked up Shen Zhi, who was almost completely weak, and protected her wound, and led her to a room in the nearby side hall.

Hearing this, Du Qinning quickly responded to Liu Shuyan's words, and gave Xue Jiang a hard look.Although she is also very anxious now, but Liu Shuyan said so, she had no choice but to loosen Xue Jiang's neck unwillingly, and took him to the prison.

In fact, the way out of the East Palace does not need to pass in front of the Lizheng Hall, but Du Qinning was worried about the situation of Wei Feng and the remaining ten men in black, so when she took Xue Jiang past, she made a detour for a short distance. The road passed not far from Lizheng Hall.

At this time, the fight between the two sides was almost coming to an end.The people on Xue Jiang's side were dead, seriously injured, and the few dozen people left saw that the situation was over, and Xue Jiang disappeared, so they also abandoned their troops and surrendered.However, Wei Feng did not bring many people. After this fierce battle, there were only about a hundred people left.As for the twelve men in black brought by Liu Shuyan, in the end there were only nine left.

After Wei Feng had a conversation with the man in black, the two sides also discussed how to deal with the remaining matters in a simple manner.The thirty or forty imperial guards who surrendered before the battle will be handed over to the men in black for interrogation, and then two people will be sent to the prime minister's mansion to ask for manpower support; and the people brought by Wei Feng will be responsible for carrying all the corpses in the East Palace to mass burial. When they were buried, those who were still alive were temporarily carried to the dungeon and locked up temporarily, waiting to be punished.

Du Qinning passed by and wanted to talk to Wei Feng to ask about the situation.But when she thought that Shen Zhi was still in danger and urgently needed to ask Xue Jiang for the antidote, she gave up this idea and led Xue Jiang directly out of the East Palace to the prison.

Such a big event happened in the East Palace, the palace people inside were afraid to come out, and even the eunuchs and maids in the Taiji Palace next door were having a hard time.The sound of fighting had been very intense before, and they couldn't sleep. They wanted to know what happened, but they didn't dare to look at it.It wasn't until the situation was settled that they all got dressed again, lights were lit in every room, and they whispered and speculated non-stop.

On the way to the prison, Du Qinning still refused to give up and asked Xue Jiang for the antidote to the poison on the dart, but no matter how she threatened or what conditions she offered, Xue Jiang would not be moved.Because in this world, the only sister he cares about has already been sent away by him when the situation started to go wrong.He has already bribed the guard who is guarding the gate of the capital tonight. If there is no accident, Xue Ruoyu and the soldier who brought her have already arrived outside the city.

Du Qinning was angry, but there was nothing he could do.After sending Xue Jiang to the prison with her own hands, and ordering a reliable person to keep watch over her, she hurried back to the East Palace, wanting to know what happened to Shen Zhi's current situation.

On the other side, after Liu Shuyan carried Shen Zhi into that room, he carefully placed her on the bed.

The East Palace is roughly half the size of the Taiji Palace, with a vast area, but very few people, so most of the palaces have been empty and unoccupied, and it has been more than ten years.

This house is no exception.Although the palace people often clean these empty rooms, after all, there are few people and many houses, and it is common to be unable to clean them in many cases.So the bed that Shen Zhi was lying on was already covered with a layer of dust that wasn't too thick.But fortunately, Liu Shuyan touched the wooden table beside him, and found that there was still a fire folder, and the candles and oil lamps on the wooden table were still usable.

Liu Shuyan brought all the candle lamps to the side of the bed, knelt down on the side of the bed, touched the darkness and lit the candle lamps with the feeling of her hands, and then under the condition of relatively clear light, performed a treatment on Shen Zhi's wound. A more careful and clear inspection.

When Shen Tianhe was still in the teacher's school, he naively thought that he could travel around the world with his brothers and sisters or with his wife and children. He never thought that he would become the emperor one day, so he learned some simple medical skills from his teacher's wife. in case for need.So although Shen Zhi is a daughter, due to her martial arts practice, she has never been sick a few times since she was a child, let alone a serious illness.Even if there was a small problem, Shen Tianhe would check her pulse personally, so she didn't have a very trustworthy imperial doctor yet.

In such an urgent situation, Xue Jiang refused to hand over the antidote, so she could only rely on Liu Shuyan to figure out a solution.Coincidentally, after carefully observing the condition of the wound and Shen Zhi's symptoms, Liu Shuyan quickly identified what kind of poison it was.Although she doesn't know medical skills, when she was traveling with her master, she once saw a friend who died of this poison, and even her master couldn't save his life at all.

The name of this poison is called Eclipse Risan, add half of the clear water, and smear it on the hidden weapon, it will definitely kill people.This is one of the most intractable poisons in the Jianghu. In addition, its toxicity is extremely strong, and the person who made the poison is nameless, coming and going without a trace, so there are very few traces of this poison in the Jianghu. Where did this come from.

However, although someone who was poisoned by this poison a few years ago died in the end, Liu Shuyan remembered that the master's delaying method also had some effect on him.Originally, according to common sense, the poisoned person would not survive half an hour after being poisoned, but in the end, that friend lived for almost a full day.

The situation was urgent, there was no other way, looking at Shen Zhi who was gradually becoming delirious, Liu Shuyan finally made up his mind and decided to take a risk.She put Shen Zhi's wrist in the palm of her hand, pressed the poison dart with the other hand, frowned, and straightly pulled out the poison dart embedded in Shen Zhi's forearm.

At this time, Shen Zhi's wound was already bloody and bloody, and with the effect of the venom, although there was not much blood flowing out there, it was already a little scary.

Pulling out the dart should be very painful, but Shen Zhi, who has lost consciousness, can hardly feel it.She frowned slightly, retracted her eyelashes, grunted, and then became silent again.

Liu Shuyan didn't throw away the octagonal dart, but put it on the wooden table aside.The side stained with Shen Zhi's blood was facing down, and on the other side, there was still a lot of clean venom that hadn't sucked human blood.

And this matter, Shen Zhi's body has gradually started to feel hot.Recalling his master's way of dealing with it before, Liu Shuyan also imitated his method, first took off Shen Zhi's coat, and then untied a layer of shirt, carefully removed Shen Zhi's left arm from the cuff, completely exposed to the outside.

Even though he knew that it was poisonous, even though he knew that doing so might hurt himself, Liu Shuyan pressed his lips to Shen Zhi's wound without hesitation after touching a few of Shen Zhi's acupuncture points, and sucked out the poison one mouthful at a time. .

After a cup of tea, the blood on the wound was almost cleaned up. Seeing that Shen Zhi's face was slightly rosier than before, Liu Shuyan also breathed a sigh of relief.At least, within this day, Shen knew that there would be no major incidents, and they still had time to think of a solution.Before Du Qinning came back, Shen Zhi's body was also sticky due to the fever just now. After thinking twice, Liu Shuyan still took a copper basin in the house, went to the nearest well, and fetched a basin of cold water. He planned to rinse his mouth, so he could wipe Shen Zhi's body by the way.

When Du Qinning came back from the prison and found the two, Liu Shuyan just wiped the last spot on Shen Zhi's body, and was about to clear the towel in his hand.

"Your Majesty, it's me, Qinning." There was a knock on the door from outside.

"come in."

When she entered the room and saw this scene, Du Qinning couldn't help but look away a little, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.However, she knew that it was not time to think about other things now, so she nodded slightly to Liu Shuyan as a salute, then she hurriedly stepped forward to look at Shen Zhi nearby, and then asked Liu Shuyan: "Your Majesty, may I ask your Highness now?" How is the situation?

"It's fine for the time being, but His Highness can only hold on for a day for the time being. We still have to find a way to find an antidote as soon as possible." While speaking, Liu Shuyan skillfully wrung out the towel, got up and put it on the shelf beside him, Then he walked back and looked at Du Qinning.

Hearing this, Du Qinning, like Liu Shuyan just now, breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to relax at all.Seeing that Liu Shuyan's expression was only a little bit worried, and she didn't intend to panic, she couldn't help asking: "Then the noble concubine has a good plan?" Although she knew that she asked, it might be for nothing, but Du Qinning couldn't think of a way for the time being, so she still had to ask. Relying on Liu Shuyan.

After listening to Du Qinning's question, Liu Shuyan didn't answer directly. Instead, after thinking for a while, he asked, "Did you find Ruoyu?"

Du Qinning didn't know why Liu Shuyan suddenly asked about this, but on the way back to the East Palace, she did run into Xue Ruoyu who was being escorted by one of the men in black to the prison .She was usually innocent and playful, but at this moment, she didn't seem to be afraid at all, and she seemed to be looking forward to death.

It's just that her brows, which were as thin as willow leaves, were tinged with a rare sadness when she saw Du Qinning walking towards her.The way she looked at Du Qinning was no longer as disgusting but clear as before, but was tinged with an unknown deep meaning.She opened her thin lips lightly, as if she wanted to call Du Qinning, but until the two passed by, she still didn't call out in the end.

He didn't know whether he was resenting Du Qinning, or he was afraid of causing trouble to her.

In fact, Xue Ruoyu could have followed Xue Jiang's conspiracy plan, and if Xue Jiang failed to succeed, she could be taken out of the city, but she didn't want to.She wanted to ask Xue Jiang why he did this, she didn't believe that her famous and intelligent brother would do such a stupid thing in her opinion.

The soldier had already brought Xue Ruoyu out of the East Palace and into the city before Wei Feng brought anyone over.But Xue Ruoyu resisted and struggled, while thinking about the ingenuity of the protagonist in the storybook she usually reads, and managed to untie the rope that bound her hands while the soldier was not paying attention.

It's just that she remembered that when she knocked out the soldier with all her strength with the wooden stick at the side, before the soldier passed out, he told her that Xue Jiang did this all because of her, and it was all for her own good. !

When Du Qinning saw her, he wanted to say a few words to her so that she would not have to worry.But when thinking of Shen Zhi whose situation is still unknown, Du Qinning's throat moved and he choked up, and his legs couldn't change the direction they were going.

When the man in black saw Du Qinning, he seemed to know her, and even nodded to her in a symbolic greeting.But the sky was too dark, and he didn't notice that there was something wrong with the eyes of Du Qinning and Xue Ruoyu.He escorted Xue Ruoyu and Du Qinning past each other, and then went on to the prison without looking back.

A group of people walked by and brought a gust of wind, blowing over Du Qinning's cheeks, causing her to stop suddenly and stand there for a while.But it was only a few breaths of effort, thinking of Shen Zhi, she immediately quickened her pace and walked towards the East Palace.

"I found it. On the way back to the East Palace just now, the student saw several people taking her to the dungeon." Du Qinning answered Liu Shuyan truthfully, but she was used to calling herself a "student" in front of Liu Shuyan before, and now , also said it by the way.

Hearing this, Liu Shuyan immediately turned around, leaned forward a few steps and picked up the octagonal dart that had just been placed on the wooden table, and said, "That's very good, so Your Highness will probably be fine. "As she said this, Du Qinning suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Mother..." It was about Shen Zhi and Xue Ruoyu, Du Qinning dared to ask Liu Shuyan what she wanted to do, but just as she opened her mouth, Liu Shuyan seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and hurriedly interrupted her.

"Qinning, this plan is a long story. I'll go to the prison first, and I'll explain it to you when I get back." As he spoke, Liu Shuyan walked out the door with the poison dart in his hand.When she came to the door, she turned around and reminded Du Qinning, "I'll trouble you to take care of His Highness here, but we don't know whether Xue Jiang will leave the last hand or not. You must be careful."

When Liu Shuyan said this, although Du Qinning was still a little worried, he still agreed: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the student will definitely guard His Highness and wait for your Majesty to come back."

Liu Xiuyun and Wei Feng will take care of the rest of the affairs, Liu Shuyan is relieved, and Shen knows that the situation is not optimistic for the time being, so she doesn't intend to ask more questions.After mentioning Qinggong and going straight to the prison, Liu Shuyan saw Xue Ruoyu who was just imprisoned and was still being interrogated not long ago. She stood aside and watched for a while where neither Xue Ruoyu nor the interrogators could see.

Although Xue Ruoyu seemed to be very cooperative, she didn't know what to ask.Except for the fact that she was kidnapped suddenly while she was reading the story book with an oil lamp, and the process of being taken away from the East Palace and escaping halfway and returning, she really couldn't say a word about the rest.

Liu Shuyan believed that Xue Ruoyu really didn't know that Xue Jiang was plotting to force the palace, but the people Liu Xiuyun arranged to interrogate Xue Ruoyu didn't know.He believed that Xue Ruoyu was clearly aware of it but deliberately pretended to be stupid, in order to separate Xue Jiang from him, so as to escape death in delusion.

"Conspiracy has always been a serious crime against the nine clans. Even if you don't say it, the evidence of Xue Jiang's rebellion is solid, and you will not escape death. You might as well admit it now. The emperor and His Royal Highness are kind, and maybe you will be lenient when you confess , spare your death." The man said.

Hearing this, Liu Shuyan frowned, stepped forward and stepped down the steps, appearing in the sight of the two of them.She waved at the interrogator, signaling her to back off, then looked at Xue Ruoyu, and then said: "You guys go down and do other things first, let me take care of it here."

Because Liu Shuyan was wearing an unremarkable casual dress tonight, the interrogator didn't recognize her as a person of identity at first, and his expression was a little bad.After being reminded by the accompanying person, she immediately changed her face, and smiled at Liu Shuyan: "Yes, ma'am." After that, he waved to the accompanying person again, and took them down together.

Seeing Liu Shuyan, Xue Ruoyu's eyes flashed with surprise, then she stood up from the edge of the wall, leaned against the iron railing, held two cold iron pillars, and asked Liu Shuyan, "Mr. Wen, why are you here?" Here?"

The way she looked at Liu Shuyan was not only surprised, but also a lot of joy, which Liu Shuyan never expected.Even if Xue Jiang forced the palace, she stood by Shen Zhi's side and took Xue Jiang into custody. She was still happy to see her.

Seeing this scene, Liu Shuyan could only sigh inwardly.After all...she was the one who was most sorry.

"Open the door." Liu Shuyan did not answer Xue Ruoyu's question directly, but instead instructed the jailer who was in charge of the cell key.

As soon as the door was unlocked, Liu Shuyan asked the jailer to undo the shackles on her hands and feet.Although the jailer hesitated, but because the people Liu Xiuyun sent to interrogate called her mother and Xue Ruoyu called her husband, he probably guessed her identity, and he didn't dare to disobey her, so he could only do as he said.

Xue Ruoyu thought that Liu Shuyan was here to let her go, and she was about to ask Liu Shuyan what happened and what happened to Xue Jiang now, but when she came out just now, Liu Shuyan said before her: "Ruoyu, follow me Come."

"Hey..." Xue Ruoyu's right hand was held by Liu Shuyan's left hand. Although she didn't know where Liu Shuyan was going to take her, she still chose to trust Liu Shuyan and followed her without any resistance.

But it wasn't until hearing Liu Shuyan's next sentence that Xue Ruoyu's heart skipped a beat.

After walking a few words inside Xiangtian Prison, Liu Shuyan said to the jailer just now, "Lead the way to Xue Jiang."

Hearing the words, the jailer quickly nodded and bowed in response, and locked the cell where Xue Ruoyu was just now as quickly as possible, then trotted to Liu Shuyan and Xue Ruoyu, and led them towards the innermost side of the cell.

When the two arrived there, they saw that Xue Jiang had already put on her prison uniform and was sitting in a corner, looking at the white wall opposite, not knowing what she was thinking.Hearing the footsteps of the three coming, Xue Jiang didn't care, and she didn't even blink her eyelids.He was probably thinking that these people were either here to interrogate the reason why he forced the palace, or they were here to ask him for an antidote, but he didn't want to pay any attention to either.
