miscalculation

Concubine Chen, who was dressed in a luxurious veil, was sitting on the rug, her eyes and brows were not angry, and she looked at Xiao Liang with a smile at this time, which also made him feel chills for no reason.

"Thank you, Madam, Xiaoqi..." Xiao Liang was still hesitating how to refuse these fruits and vegetables, but Xiao Yunxiang who was sitting on the side looked straight at him, as if he had something to say.

"What? These fruits and vegetables were brought by me specially for you to taste fresh, forgive me if you don't like them?" Concubine Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty's gift, Liang'er will naturally accept it, but now I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, I am afraid that I will ruin my mother's love if I eat it, so I want to wait until tomorrow to eat." Xiao Liang sat on the side, sweating all over his body.

These melons and fruits do not look like ordinary things, but they are much larger than normal ones, with a strange fragrance, and the smell is refreshing.If Master Jingkong warned him just now, Xiao Liang might have to pick up food.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, the sixth prince Xiao Yunxiang suddenly stood up, slowly walked in front of Xiao Liang, pulled his sleeve, and it took him a long time to say: "Seventh brother, seventh brother." This sentence Words only listened to everyone's surprise.

Concubine Chen was pregnant with twins back then, but when she was pregnant in August, she had nightmares in the middle of the night and was so frightened that she gave birth prematurely. After giving birth to Xiao Yunxiang, the other child was stillborn.Although Xiao Yunxiang was one year older than Xiao Liang, but due to premature birth, he was thin and thin since childhood, so he looked almost the same as Xiao Liang.Since he was a child, he has been withdrawn, and he doesn't like to talk too much with others, even if others say a hundred words, he won't respond, and he rarely talks to concubine Chen.

This time Concubine Chen came to see Xiao Liang, he kept holding on to Concubine Mother's hand, Concubine Chen had no choice but to bring him too.Among the seven princes, only Xiao Liang can occasionally have a few words with Xiao Yun.Ever since Xiao Liang fell ill, Xiao Yunxiang almost never spoke again.

Xiao Yunxiang was not good at speech since childhood, especially when he was emotional, his voice would stammer unconsciously.Seeing him like this, Xiao Liang naturally knew that he was worried about him, so he took his hand and smiled slightly, and said, "Sixth brother, I don't mind, Master Jing Kong said that I will be fine soon."

Xiao Liang just wanted to comfort him a few more words, but saw Xiao Yunxiang grabbed the grapes on the table and ate them.This action shocked everyone present. Seeing this, Concubine Chen was very anxious, and said: "Yunxiang, these are fruits and vegetables for your seventh younger brother. If you want to eat, Weiyang Palace still has a lot. Why don't you see you in the palace?" Eat, but ran to grab food with your seventh brother. Come, take the sixth prince down quickly."

Jinyue is Concubine Chen's personal maid, she hurriedly stepped forward and took Xiao Yunxiang's hand, trying to pull him down, but he didn't resist, but just before leaving, he didn't forget to say: "Hello sixth brother...".Others don't understand, but Xiao Liang naturally knows that he is thinking about his body and tells him to take good care of his illness.

He clasped his fists and said to Xiao Yunxiang: "Don't worry, Sixth Brother, I'll see you when I recover." He was anxious, but thought that if the fruits and vegetables were inappropriate, Concubine Chen must have a way to solve them, so he would definitely not harm you own parent and child.

Concubine Chen saw that her son had been carried out, so she said: "It's true Yunxiang, you are the only brother among the brothers, probably because you are the only one who calls him brother. He was going to bed, but I heard that I will come If I want to visit you, I have to follow."

Just as Xiao Liang was about to speak, he coughed again and again, and others quickly helped him to sit up.

Seeing this, Concubine Chen said: "You child, you are so weak. I hope that Master Jingkong will make you as brave as your third brother this time. Since you can't eat it, the melon and fruit will not be fresh after tonight. Why don't you eat it?" Just share it with everyone and treat it as a reward for serving you day and night these days."

As Concubine Chen said, she asked people to share the melons and fruits with Xiao Yunxiang, Ji Lan, Jing Kong, and the rest of the palace.Afterwards, she cooked a cup of tea, got up and said goodbye, and especially told Xiao Liang to take care of his health.

Seeing him leave, Ji Lan hurriedly asked someone to take Xiao Liang down to rest, turned around to look at Jingkong, and asked, "Master, what did Concubine Chen mean just now?"

"Just now she came in, with a strange smell on her body. I thought it was the smell above the fruits and vegetables, but I didn't expect that she soaked the medicine into the fruits and vegetables. Although the fruits and vegetables have a strange smell, ordinary people can smell it. It's not a serious problem, but the poison on the Seventh Prince's body is very wrong because of this fragrance." Master Jing Kong sighed.

"What's wrong?" Ji Lan continued to ask.

"This fragrance is called Seven Residual Fragrance, and it grows together with Baikucao in the land of Mobei. If it is used in ordinary times, it can attack the poison with poison. However, if one of the scents has been exhausted, this fragrance can enhance the medicinal properties."

"Master Uncle, you mean that although Baikucao cures the intoxication of the immortals, the seven residual fragrance can actually promote the poison of Baikucao?"

"good."

"Does the Seventh Prince want to be poisoned by Baikucao? Dare I ask my uncle, is there a solution?" Ji Lan asked hastily.

"The concubine Chen sent fruits and vegetables at this time. It is calculated that I will be unable to cure it. This poison cannot be diagnosed and cured by ordinary people, and the patient has no love for ordinary people. But you can't be very happy and compassionate, and you can't practice Zhougong's ritual. Your master hand There is a jade pill on it, as long as the Seventh Prince takes this pill before he reaches the age of [-], he will be cured of his poison, otherwise he will die from the poison no matter what. I have tried my best, and the rest depends on the Seventh Prince's fortune. You don't need to tell him about it, it's useless to say it, it will only make him worry and fear."

"Lan'er understands."

Ji Lan didn't say much anymore, just about to go back to Fengmian Pavilion's bedroom to see Xiao Liang, but bumped into Xiao Zheng who came in a hurry in the middle of the night, so she hid aside, not daring to go up.

"You guys go down." Xiao Zheng waved his hand, and let most of the palace people retreat, leaving only a few people to hold the lamps.He came forward, tucked the quilt for Xiao Liang, and sat on the side.

Looking at Xiao Zheng's worried expression, Ji Lan knew that he was worried about Xiao Liang's condition.He knew in his heart that he was Concubine Ji Shu's nephew, they were inevitably wary of him, so they left Fengmianju without saying much.

The next day, when Xiao Liang got up, he felt light all over his body and was filled with joy. When he saw Xiao Zheng sleeping on the bed, his eyes turned red.He always knew that his brothers were fighting for the imperial power, but because he was not in good health and was not a threat, almost all of them treated him well.It's just that the situation is very different this time when he recovers from illness, he never expected that Xiao Zheng still treats him with such care.

When Xiao Yunxiang pulled his sleeve yesterday, he had slipped a note, he had already read it last night, and now he picked it up and looked at it again, "Don't eat fruits and vegetables".The four characters are chic and elegant, but he can only take them and burn them. As soon as he touched the red candle, he was snatched away by Xiao Zheng who woke up.

"What good things to burn early in the morning?" Xiao Zheng said, then spread out the note, his expression changed suddenly.

Xiao Yunxiang was withdrawn since he was a child, but he was excellent in calligraphy and painting, and his handwriting was extremely famous when he was young.Wang Fu, a famous calligrapher in the dynasty, once sighed again and again, praising him as an outstanding calligrapher and painter.

Xiao Zheng also recognized his handwriting at a glance, and said: "Yesterday, there is indeed something wrong with the fruits and vegetables that Concubine Chen rewarded you, but why did she let you go so easily?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because Sixth Brother also took it, so...she should hurry back and give him the antidote."

"I just don't know what happened to my sixth brother?" Xiao Zheng sighed.He knew that although Xiao Yunxiang didn't like to talk too much with others, he was extremely smart and often did things unexpectedly.

Just as Xiao Liang was about to say something, he heard Eunuch Lin complaining outside, so he asked him to come in.

"Report to the Seventh Prince, just now the servant went to find Bi Tao, the maid of Weiyang Palace, and found out. After the Sixth Prince went back, Concubine Chen kicked everyone out. She didn't know what she did, and she didn't rest until midnight. In the morning The sixth prince is fine, please rest assured."

"Okay, you step back. Send someone to call Mr. Ji to come, and I want to thank you specially."

"Your Highness, you don't need to invite him. When you fell asleep last night, he had something to do in the mansion, so he hurried back. Before leaving, he left a message. I hope you will make amends." Eunuch Lin continued.

After Xiao Zheng asked Eunuch Lin to step down, he pulled Xiao Liang and said, "Xiaoqi, if your illness this time hadn't hindered Master Jingkong's request for Ji Lan to come to help, I would really be worried. You also know that Ji Lan Lan is Concubine Shu's nephew, I'm afraid..."

"Fourth brother, I don't think that Ji Lan is that kind of person. Last time he jumped into the Taiye Pond to save me, don't worry too much. These days he is assisting Master Jingkong in Fengmian Pavilion, I think he is It's not a lie, but it's a pity that I didn't thank him properly twice."

"Xiao Qi, how do you know what he's thinking in his heart? Maybe there's a trick to it." Xiao Zheng shook his head.

"Fourth brother, I don't want to think of everyone so badly."

"You're stupid again. It's not that we think badly about people. Have you forgotten the court lady who poisoned your tea the year before last? If it wasn't a coincidence, your life would be gone! We haven't found out who sent it until now. here."

"Didn't we say that we should not mention this matter? Fourth brother, I'm tired and want to rest for a while."

Xiao Zheng hurriedly helped Xiao Liang to sit on the side, and just about to say something, he heard a shout from outside: "It's bad, it's bad! The third prince has disappeared in Luyue Peak, and his whereabouts are unknown!"

This sound made Xiao Liang stand up immediately, but Xiao Zheng shouted angrily: "Where did this servant come from, who is yelling, don't you know that the seventh prince is recuperating? Come, give me twenty sticks!"

Xiao Liang just wanted to say more, but felt dizzy, and then lost consciousness.
