Inadvertently, the plum blossoms are gradually withering, and new shoots spit out.The front court is still busy, and the harem is still dull. It seems that nothing has changed, except that the time is rushing, like quicksand between fingers, passing by without a pause.

Life in this world is full of emotions, and there are never many joys, anger, sorrows and joys. Some people live in lingering joy, while others live like years.

With each passing day, Xia Ruoqing's depression and uneasiness deepened.The Fenglei Prison was tightly guarded, and it was not easy for news to spread out. It has been nearly a month since her mother and younger siblings were detained in the Fenglei Prison, and Xia Ruoqing only had a few words, knowing that she was still alive.

The day before yesterday, Yuan Jing sent a letter to the palace, saying that everything was ready at his side, and he was just waiting for news from Xia Ruoqing.Xia Ruoqing also wanted to get rid of Emperor Nanzhao first, and then to argue with Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu.However, no one is as good as the sky, because of the Zuohuai incident in Nantang, mobs are everywhere, and Emperor Nanzhao is so upset that he has no time to set foot in the harem, so she first put the Gu worms on Jun Yihuang.Now Yuan Jing sent a letter urging her to get back Zi Gu as soon as possible in order to plot big things.

Fortunately, Jun Yihuang's side is progressing smoothly. Counting with fingers, the subgu has been attached to Jun Yihuang's body for ten years. As long as he finds an opportunity to play a scene, let He Lanfu feel murderous towards Jun Yihuang, everything will be done. Naturally, it can end without anyone noticing.

Although the current situation in Qi County is critical, Jun Yihuang's identity is special after all, and she died suddenly overnight for no reason. Qi County must send someone to find out the reason.And Jun Yihuang is currently the highest ranking Concubine Shu in the palace, no matter how busy Emperor Nanzhao is, he will definitely go to the harem to find out the ins and outs.As long as Emperor Nanzhao enters the harem and has the opportunity to communicate frequently, his death will come.

Xia Ruoqing walked slowly along the corridor, deduced step by step in her mind, although the smile on her face remained undiminished, a pair of watery autumn pupils were covered with a faint layer of haze.Turning around the corner of the corridor, Xia Ruoqing raised her head and saw that Yingluo was still standing outside the door, so she raised her hand to beckon to her. "Is He Lan still awake?" "Hui Jing Guifei, Jieyu just turned off the lights at Yinshi last night, the maidservant just went in to have a look, Jieyu was still asleep, so she didn't disturb her." "Did you sleep well?" Xia Ruoqing Xiumei frowned slightly, and when he looked at the door of He Lanfu's room, there was a trace of melancholy in his eyes.He Lanfu came to look for her that night, and although she voluntarily stayed with her in the Nanzhao harem, Xia Ruoqing also moved back to the main hall the next day. The two of them usually get along with each other on the surface. On the surface, everything is the same as before, but there always seems to be a vague alienation .Recently, He Lanfu said that she couldn't sleep well at night, and she didn't want to disturb Xia Ruoqing, so she moved to a nearby courtyard alone. Xia Ruoqing felt guilty about the Gu worm, and was afraid of accidentally revealing her clues, so she let her.

Well, it's coming soon.As soon as Emperor Nanzhao died, he immediately arranged for someone to send He Lanfu back to Beiyan to relieve the gu, and she must not be allowed to fall into Yuan Jing's hands.As for the grievances and grievances between me and her... grievances?With He Lanfu's temperament that distinguishes between love and hate, once he finds out that she has been using her, he may never see her again in the future.

Every time she thinks of the ending after the truth is revealed, Xia Ruoqing always feels pain like needle pricks in her chest.Shaking her head slightly to force herself to get rid of distracting thoughts in her mind, Xia Ruoqing ordered: "Let her sleep. If she wakes up and asks about me, just say that I went to Yufeng Palace and come back later." "Yes, Concubine Jing."

Xia Ruoqing turned around, exited the corner gate, and entered the courtyard connecting the main hall with the front hall.He Lanfu hated noise, the number of servants serving in the Chengming Hall was the least among concubines of the same level, and the stone road in the courtyard was surrounded by tall trees and dense vines, making walking in it extremely quiet.

Xia Ruoqing was thinking, and didn't pay attention to the sides. She never thought that a hand would suddenly stretch out from the side of the road and drag her into the rockery by the side of the road.

Wan Rong, who was following Xia Ruoqing, was stunned for a moment, and just as she realized that she was about to call for help, a gloomy voice rang out coldly before she screamed: "If you dare to call out, just wait for your master's body to be collected. "

Xia Ruoqing calmed down quickly after being frightened for a moment, seeing a dark blue ring shaped like a snake's head on the finger stuck in her throat, she immediately guessed who was behind her, her heart sank suddenly, but her face turned pale. With a slight smile, he said in a low voice: "It turned out to be Zhang Shushi. Zhang Shushi sent someone to send a message to Wan Rong for something, but he didn't know why he acted like this today?" "You also come here." Zhang Xichun ignored Xia Ruoqing , but said to Wan Rong in a deep voice, and carried Xia Ruoqing to the depths of the rockery for a while.

Wan Rong had dealt with Zhang Xichun a few times, knew that this person had a gloomy personality, and saw that Xia Ruoqing was in her hands, so she had no choice but to follow him.

Zhang Xichun felt that he had gone deep enough, when he saw the surrounding tall trees like a canopy, covering the figures of several people, he let go of his hand and threw Xia Ruoqing onto the rockery.

Xia Ruoqing's vest hit the rock, her face turned pale with pain, anger flashed in her eyes once, her face sank, and she said coldly, "Zhang Xichun, what are you doing!" "What? I should ask you that , Concubine Jing!"

Zhang Xichun spoke every word extremely slowly, as if squeezed out from between his teeth.Xia Ruoqing gritted her teeth, looked up, but she hadn't seen Zhang Xichun for a month, but Zhang Xichun seemed to have changed completely.She was already extremely thin, with scars all over her face, but now her eyes are sunken, her cheekbones are protruding, she is as thin as a bone, her face is covered with dense black spots, and her face is full of resentment, reflecting in the gaps in the trees The dappled light in the room was like a ghost crawling out of hell, even Xia Ruoqing couldn't help shivering.

Wan Rong has clearly confirmed that Zhang Xichun has been unconscious and bedridden since four days ago, why is she still standing in front of him at this moment? "Is Concubine Jing very surprised to see that I'm not dead yet?" Zhang Xichun seemed to have seen through Xia Ruoqing's thoughts, and smiled, "Concubine Jing is really very ruthless, even the Gu on He Lanfu's body I don't want to solve it anymore, but I want to kill me so soon!"

Xia Ruoqing tried to stay calm, and said: "Zhang Xichun, what do you mean by that?" "Xia Ruoqing, wise people don't speak in secret, why do you pretend to be stupid?" Zhang Xichun snorted coldly: "Don't even think about delaying time to wait for an opportunity Ask for help. You know my tricks, as long as I do it, you and your maid will have no way out." "What are you trying to do?" "What kind of poison did you put on me? Where is the antidote?" Zhang Xichun stretched out his palm Grabbing Xia Ruoqing's jaw, the nails sank into the skin in anger, pinching out five grooves of blood, "Xia Ruoqing, what a great trick. He actually administered medicine separately to the meal given to me by the dining room and in the Changshou nunnery. Be vigilant in everything, I still follow your way! If I am not good at poison, and I can overcome poison with poison, how can I stand here with my life?"

Since Zhang Xichun spoke so clearly, Xia Ruoqing stopped pretending, squinted at Zhang Xichun, and said with a sneer, "Since you are so capable, why come to me again?" Give it to me!" Seeing that Xia Ruoqing showed no signs of fear, Zhang Xichun became more and more annoyed, and the strength in his hands increased, until Xia Ruoqing's jaw bones creaked.

Zhang Xichun knew in her heart that the poison she used on her body could only temporarily restrain Xia Ruoqing's poison. Can't help. "If you... strangle... me to death, there is... no... antidote..." Even though Xia Ruoqing's face was purple from being strangled, the smile on her face remained undiminished, and her eyes were full of mockery color.

Knowing that Xia Ruoqing was telling the truth, Zhang Xichun was so angry that he trembled all over his body, his fingers finally loosened, he waved his hand heavily, rolled his eyes, and then laughed along with him: "I know Concubine Jing is not afraid of death. It's just wise and safe to cut ties with the Xia family."

Xia Ruoqing put her hands on Wan Rong's shoulders, covered her neck, coughed and gasped, but didn't answer, she waited for Zhang Xichun to speak. "But Concubine Jinggui doesn't think about it, I will hand over the Gu worm to you so easily, won't I leave some tricks in my hand?" Zhang Xichun fiddled with the strangely shaped jade ring on his finger, with a sinister smile: "As long as I Blowing on this ring, the little guy staying in Lan Jieyu's body may not be so quiet and obedient."

Xia Ruoqing stopped coughing suddenly, her pupils constricted, she raised her head and said, "What...?" Knowing that he has poked Xia Ruoqing's weakness, he is even more proud: "People who suffer from the backlash of the blood gu will be bitten by the gu insects before they die, and the blood will be entangled. The pain is comparable to Ling Chi. Although that Lan Jieyu's temper is not very good, She looks like one of the rare beauties in the world, and she is even more infatuated with you. Concubine Jing, are you really willing to let your flowery lover suffer so much and bleed to death?"

"lover?"

"Haha, I know you are two women, so what? It's not like I haven't never seen the way she looks at you. You can hide it from others but you can't hide it from me!"

Xia Ruoqing stared at Zhang Xichun for a moment, the corners of her lips gradually curled up, as if she couldn't help laughing: "Zhang Xichun, are you threatening me with He Lanfu?"

"That's right, I'm threatening you with He Lanfu, how about it?"

"How?" Xia Ruoqing's smile gradually faded, her eyes turned from sarcasm to pity: "Zhang Xichun, I always thought that although you were not too smart, at least you were not too stupid. But I never thought that you would use He Lanfu to threaten me."

"..."

"I, Xia Ruoqing, am still here because of my parents, my younger brothers and younger sisters. Otherwise, how could a mere Nantang Palace be able to trap me? If you pick any one of them, maybe I will Worried about it. But you didn't choose anyone, and you singled out He Lanfu?" Xia Ruoqing leaned back on Wan Rong, took the silk handkerchief Wan Rong handed over to wipe the blood on the wound on her jaw, although her temple hair was disheveled and embarrassed, her posture was as elegant as ever: " Well, you can’t say that. What you said just now was indeed half right. He Lanfu and I grew up together. She has loved me for a long time, pure and deep. But you seem to have forgotten one thing, she used affection for me Deeply, it doesn't mean I have the same feelings for her."

"..."

"You don't even think about it. If it's really someone I hold dear to my heart, how could I be willing to let her raise Gu? And how could I know that no one will cure her Gu after killing you, but still use poison on you? Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you You don't end up in a hundred battles, you don't even understand these things, and you still use He Lanfu to threaten me, thinking that I will give you the antidote?" Xia Ruoqing shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Zhang Xichun, what should I say about you?"

"You...!" Zhang Xichun looked at the smiling woman in front of her, but her eyes were dripping with ice, her already firm heart was slightly shaken, she thought again, her tense face loosened slightly, and said with a smile : "Do you think that you can keep He Lanfu by saying this? It's too small for me. Since you don't care about her, then she must have nothing to do with you."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xichun put Yuhuan to his lips, and kept his eyes on Xia Ruoqing for a moment, unwilling to let her react.Unexpectedly, Xia Ruoqing really didn't seem to care about her actions, she held her chin on the silk, like a spectator watching from the sidelines.

Zhang Xichun felt a chill in his heart, and his fingers couldn't help trembling slightly: "Xia Ruoqing, you really don't care?!"

"Anyway, the child Gu has already been planted on Jun Yihuang, and I am worrying about how to stimulate the mother Gu. If you are willing to do it for me, I will save a lot of trouble. You can try it if you want, and I didn't stop you. Why do you keep asking me?"

"Yes, the matter is over, why ask again?"

The sudden insertion sound was as cold as water, but Xia Ruoqing's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly turned her head to look for the source of the sound, only to see a plain hand pushing away the dense branches and leaves, revealing a beautiful, enchanting and expressionless face.

"Helan?!"

He Lanfu didn't seem to have seen Zhang Xichun who was about to kill her in the arena, his starry eyes just stared at Xia Ruoqing: "Qingqing, I just want to ask you one thing, did you give birth to me and Jun Yihuang?" Blood Gu?"

"Helan!"

He Lanfu tilted his head and looked at Xia Ruoqing quietly, a rare smile appeared on his usually cold face: "Okay, okay, okay!"

After saying the last word 'good', He Lanfu lightly closed his eyelashes, and released his finger that was pressing on the branch, and he disappeared behind the branches and leaves again.

"Helan, wait!"

Xia Ruoqing saw that the forces wanted to chase her, she didn't want to tighten her wrist, and just turned her head, she met Zhang Xichun's face like a bone.

"Xia Ruoqing, where do you want to go?"

At this moment, nothing is more proud than Zhang Xichun.From being full of confidence in capturing people to losing confidence and being shaken, Zhang Xichun really didn't know what to do for a moment.She was startled when He Lanfu suddenly appeared, and then seeing Xia Ruoqing's reaction, Zhang Xichun suddenly realized.

Xia Ruoqing is really good, she almost fell for her tricks!

Since Xia Ruoqing could be suppressed with He Lanfu, let alone the antidote, how difficult would it be to shout and drink Xia Ruoqing in the future? !

Seeing He Lanfu in this situation, Xia Ruoqing's mind went blank for a moment, and it was not until Zhang Xichun uttered that she remembered that there was such a person beside her.

Seeing this person's pale face, Xia Ruoqing's eyes darkened, she fell into Zhang Xichun's arms following Zhang Xichun's pull, and with a twist and a lift of her wrist, the dagger hidden in her palm had pierced Zhang Xichun's chest.

Ever since Xia Ruoqing raised Gu and fed blood, she never left her body.The edge of this dagger is extremely thin, and there is only a blood groove on the edge.The dagger entered the chest without even stopping it for a moment, only another string of blood splashed down the blood groove on Xia Ruoqing's outer shirt.

Xia Ruoqing didn't wait for Zhang Xichun's reaction, raised the knife and stabbed seven or eight times in an instant.The situation changed so quickly that Zhang Xichun didn't even understand what happened. He only felt a sharp pain in his chest after it was cold, and then he was pushed hard, and his whole body fell limply to the ground.

Seeing that Zhang Xichun's mouth and nose were bleeding and her eyes were protruding, Xia Ruoqing knew that she would not survive, so she threw the dagger in her hand and turned around to chase He Lanfu in the direction He Lanfu left.

"Mother... Mother! Mother! Clothes! Blood!"

From He Lanfu's appearance to Zhang Xichun's fall to the ground, it was only a matter of breathing.Wan Rong, who was standing by the side, was already shocked when she saw this dramatic change, but now she woke up when she saw that Xia Ruoqing was about to go out no matter what, she hurriedly grabbed Xia Ruoqing and pointed at her blood-stained blouse, trembling.

Xia Ruoqing's pretty face was troubled, she lowered her head and saw her clothes, she knew that it was inappropriate to go out like this, she waved away her coat, tore off her outer shirt and threw it to Wan Rong, and immediately chased her out.

Wan Rong stayed there holding a blood-stained outer shirt, the place was hidden deep in the forest among the rockery and it was already dark, when she looked down and saw Zhang Xichun's blood-stained face, her teeth chattered in fright, she hesitated After a short pause, he threw the bloody clothes on the ground and ran quickly following Xia Ruoqing's path.

Zhang Xichun was still angry, he wanted to reach out to grab Rong Rong's legs and feet, but where could he reach them?Crouching down and crawling for two steps, Zhang Xichun only felt that there was no shelter in his chest, the cold wind whizzed straight in, his whole body lost temperature rapidly, knowing that he would not be spared today, his heart was filled with hatred, he struggled to move his fingers He bent to his lips, and blew towards the jade ring on his finger with all his remaining strength.

Let's say that He Lanfu retreated from the bushes to the stone path in despair.Yingluo, who was waiting on the road, couldn't hide the sympathy in her eyes, she muttered 'Jieyu', but didn't know what to say.

The garden is quiet and there are few people's voices. Although Xia Ruoqing and Zhang Xichun's hiding place is deep and the volume is soft, they still can't cover Xingzang so that He Lanfu and Yingluo can hear clearly.

As He Lanfu's personal maid, Yingluo knew a little about the relationship between He Lanfu and Xia Ruoqing. While being shocked by Xia Ruoqing's ruthlessness, Yingluo couldn't help sighing secretly that maybe it was all fate.

If He Lanfu could wake up a little later, if He Lanfu hadn't heard that Xia Ruoqing had just left and wanted to find her, if it hadn't been too quiet in this garden...

Maybe He Lanfu can still indulge in his dreams.

He Lanfu had a panoramic view of Yingluo's expression of pity, and couldn't help being in a trance, and said softly, "Yingluo, do you even pity me?"

"Jieyu, the servant does not... no, the servant does not..."

He Lanfu responded to Yingluo's fear as if he had never heard of it. He looked up at the sky, only to see the clouds clearing and the morning sun emerging. Today is actually a rare sunny day after winter.

Having made up his mind, He Lanfu suddenly ran towards the gate of the palace.When Yingluo heard the footsteps, she froze for a moment, then hurriedly raised her skirt to chase after her, and said repeatedly: "Jieyu! Jieyu, where are you going! Jieyu!"

"Yingluo, where's Helan?"

After running two steps, Yingluo was grabbed by someone, and when she looked back, it was Xia Ruoqing who came out from the bushes.Yingluo trembled in fright, her knees became weak and she knelt on the ground suddenly, pointing to the direction where He Lanfu was flying, she tremblingly said: "Jieyu... went out of the hall!"

When Xia Ruoqing heard this, she became even more anxious, and hurriedly followed her away.

Before He Lanfu left the palace, he felt a pain in his viscera, staggered and almost fell to the ground.After all, He Lan's family came from Beiyan. Although He Lanfu hated Gu art, he had heard of the name of mother-child blood Gu, and knew that it was the most powerful and vicious of Beiyan Gu art.Gritting his teeth to endure the throbbing in his chest, He Lanfu kept on walking, stumbling around the group of bearers in front of the hall, and speeding towards Yufeng Palace.

Along the way, several palace people saw Lan Jieyu, who was usually cold and reticent, running like crazy on the road, but they didn't dare to stop them, they all hid in the corners and knelt down to salute.He Lanfu turned a blind eye to everyone, only felt that the blood in his whole body was almost boiling in the gallop, his mouth was full of fishy sweetness, and his eyes were all white.

Hold on!

Hold on!

At least tell Jun Yihuang that she has a blood gu!

It's nothing if she died, it's her own fault!But Jun Yihuang!Jun Yihuang is so innocent!

The green tiles and red walls of Yufeng Palace were already in sight, and He Lanfu was refreshed and rushed towards the gate.During this period of time, she came to Yufeng Palace every day, and most of the palace people at the gate knew her, but they didn't have any invitations. Secondly, He Lanfu's face was so hideous at the moment, how could the palace people let her in?

It's just that He Lanfu has practiced martial arts with his father and brother since he was a child. Although he is not perfect in martial arts, he is more than enough to deal with a group of servants and maidservants.At this moment, he was in a hurry again, he didn't know what to do, and then he broke through a group of palace people who were blocking him, and went straight into Yufeng Palace.

The weather was fine today, Jun Yihuang woke up early, and moved the piano alone to play in the pavilion in the front yard.But with the strings in hand, Jun Yihuang couldn't settle down in her heart, and she would make a wrong move.After several mistakes, Jun Yihuang was agitated, and just about to ask the maid to carry the guqin back to the piano room, but felt a sharp pain in her chest, the guqin let go and fell to the ground, and the tail of the piano shattered instantly.

"Miss!"

The maid next to her didn't know what had happened. Just as she was about to help Jun Yihuang, she heard a voice from far away in the garden: "Your Majesty, Lan Jieyu seems to be crazy, rushing into the palace with all her might! No one can stop it! Your ladyship, please avoid it first!"

The maid was shocked when she heard the sound, and quickly helped Jun Yihuang to escape into the room, but she didn't expect that in just a short moment, Jun Yihuang was already trembling with pain and unable to move.The maid was panicked and didn't know what to do, just as she called someone to call Su Lingyu, He Lanfu had already rushed to the pavilion with the palace man who came to report the news.

Jun Yihuang only felt that her internal organs were overturned, and she was in cold sweat from the pain, but she had a strong temper, so she still held back her silence and reluctantly opened her eyes to look at He Lanfu.Unexpectedly, He Lanfu outside the pavilion was not much better than her. The neat dress had fallen apart during the running and fighting, and the haphazard bun was also messy, her lower lip was bitten bloody, and her eyes were full of red threads. Still stumbling towards her.

"Jun... Yihuang... blood... Gu..."

He Lanfu rushed here from the Chengming Palace, and had already exhausted all his strength, leaving only a sliver of faith imposed on him.Now that he saw Jun Yihuang, He Lanfu felt a blur in front of his eyes, and he fell on the steps, still muttering incessantly: "Looking for...relieve...blood...gu..."

"Blood Gu... what blood Gu...?"

When Su Lingyu heard that Jun Yihuang was suddenly ill, she hurried over from the warm pavilion in fright, just in time to see He Lanfu falling on the steps.Su Lingyu was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly changed, and he strode around He Lanfu to come to Jun Yihuang.Before the beautiful woman left, she was talking and laughing happily, but when she met again, her face was bleak, and she could barely speak.Su Lingyu clenched Jun Yihuang's icy hands tightly, and felt a lump in her throat, the breath in her chest suddenly scattered, and unbearable cramps came from her lower abdomen, and she immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Ah! I'm so popular! Concubine Ning Gui!"

"Where is the imperial doctor! Why hasn't he come yet! Come quickly!"

"Your Majesty! Concubine Ning Gui! Lan Jieyu! This... this!"

There was chaos in the ears, and the maids panicked.But in Su Lingyu's eyes, everything seemed to be extremely slow. His gaze swept over He Lanfu, and then back to Jun Yihuang. Su Lingyu almost completely understood, and felt a cold despair in his heart: "Yi... Huang..."

"Yihuang!" Someone seemed to be pulling her arm constantly, Lan Zui struggled hard but couldn't break free.She wanted to hug Jun Yihuang who was close at hand, but there were many palace people in between, so she couldn't even touch Jun Yihuang's fingers.Lan Zui's whole body twitched, and his eyes suddenly opened, unexpectedly, the No.1 that caught his eyes was He Lanfu who was supposed to be lying on the steps.
