After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

When Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu arrived, the imperial physician had already treated Xu Xiaoqi in the small room of the South Study Room, and Zuo Jiayi was waiting in the room.

The rest of the princes were temporarily arranged to review yesterday's homework by themselves, only Song Shi followed because he was too worried.

"How's the situation?"

As soon as Qi Zizhen arrived, he couldn't help but anxiously asked about Zuo Jiayi. Zuo Jiayi didn't even have time to salute. He shook his head and said, "It looks like the situation is not very good. The imperial physician is still in the process of diagnosis and treatment. Please be safe, my lord."

The imperial physician inside the room was still sitting in front of the bed, looking serious.

Qi Zizhen knew that it was useless to be anxious at this time, so he had to wait patiently.

Song Yaoxu stood on the other side of him, glanced at Xu Xiaoqi who was lying on the bed, pondered for a while, and called Qi Zizhen out again.

Seeing his expression, Qi Zizhen didn't say a word, followed him and walked out. When he got to a small corner outside the South Study Room, he asked directly, "Did your Highness find anything?"

Song Yaoxu didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "I have some guesses, but I still need to confirm with you."

Hearing that it was a serious matter, Qi Zizhen's expression became serious, as if he was listening attentively.

Song Yaoxu didn't delay for too long, and frowned lightly and said: "When I turned down this morning, I noticed that Song Ping glanced in your direction, which is something he wouldn't do in the past. So I want to confirm with you, Is it possible that Xiao Qi had contact with Song Ping at some point?"

Qi Zizhen also frowned, thought for a while and shook his head: "It shouldn't be possible."

Xu Xiaoqi is usually on the two points and one line of the Imperial Palace and the National Teacher Tower, and this line is all children that he personally takes care of. He has never given Xu Xiaoqi any chance to contact Song Ping.

unless……

Qi Zizhen suddenly remembered meeting Lu Yuanbai and Song Ping yesterday.

"It's rice cakes!" He suddenly realized, "It's the rice cakes I gave Xiao Qi last night, and it was most likely replaced by Lu Yuanbai at that time!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately explained to Song Yaoxu in detail the whole process of how he was almost hit yesterday.

Yesterday, Qi Zizhen said to Lu Yuanbai that he would buy rice cakes to eat by himself, so it is very likely that they actually wanted to take the opportunity to exchange rice cakes, and then use Song Ping's blindfold law to lower his vigilance.

But that rice cake was bought for Xu Xiaoqi, so Xu Xiaoqi was tricked.

Qi Zizhen didn't even know how to describe his mood for a moment.

If what they used this time is the kind of Gu poison in the previous life...

He didn't dare to continue thinking, and the hands hanging on both sides clenched slightly.

It is very likely that Lu Yuanbai and Song Ping seized the opportunity that he often went to the capital recently, and deliberately ambushed in the market, waiting for the good show last night.

But why is Xiao Qi...

Qi Zizhen's hand clenched tighter and tighter, until he suddenly felt a familiar warmth.

He looked up, but he could only see Song Yaoxu's worried profile when he glanced towards the room.

In fact, Song Yaoxu's mood at this time was similar to his.

Xu Xiaoqi was still just a child after all, and they didn't want to involve such grievances on children.

However, this is still just a guess at the moment, and they still need to further confirm whether Xu Xiaoqi was really poisoned by the Gu poison that Qi Zizhen had in the first life.

Just at this time, the door of the small room in the South Study was opened from the inside, Song Yaoxu quickly let go of Qi Zizhen's hand, and saw Zuo Jiayi walking out from inside.

Zuo Jiayi saluted politely first, and then said: "The imperial physician has finished his diagnosis and treatment, and Xiao Qi has also woken up. May His Highness and the National Teacher go to see how he is doing?"

Qi Zizhen's eyes flickered slightly, and before Song Yaoxu answered, he whispered, "Your Highness, can I trouble you to lure them away later?"

Song Yaoxu didn't ask the reason, and after lightly nodding his head, he turned to Zuo Jiayi and said, "Xiao Qi is not feeling well, please let Grand Tutor Zuo ask the imperial physician to come out and tell you."

"Yes." Zuo Jiayi replied, went back and called the imperial doctor out.

Song Shi, who was waiting in the house, was really worried about Xu Xiaoqi's situation, so he went out after seeing Qi Zizhen walk in, wanting to hear how Xu Xiaoqi was doing.

In the south study room, there were no other palace people. After Song Shi, Zuo Jiayi and the imperial physician, there was only Xu Xiaoqi who was waking up on the bed.Xu Xiaoqi still looked a little dazed, with an abnormal flush on his face, and when he saw Qi Zizhen, he was stunned for a long time before he recognized him.

"Brother Qi..."

The child's voice became extremely weak and soft, which made people feel distressed.

Qi Zizhen walked to the bed, gently held the child's outstretched hand, and then stuffed his hand back under the quilt.

"How do you feel?" Qi Zizhen asked softly.

The child's voice was still nasal, and he whispered, "I'm so dizzy... Is Xiao Qi sick?"

He looked at Qi Zizhen with a confused expression, as if he couldn't figure out his own situation.

Qi Zizhen felt even more distressed, lowered his eyes halfway, and after a short silence, he suddenly said: "Xiao Qi may...be poisoned by a Gu."

Xu Xiaoqi blinked, seemed to think about what he meant for a while, and then wanted to repeat in a daze: "Xiaoqi Middle School...ah! My heart hurts so much..."

Before he had time to utter the word "Gu", he suddenly showed pain on his face, stretched out his hand to grab his heart, his whole body trembled from the pain.

Qi Zizhen quickly stretched out his hand to hold his hand covering his heart: "Don't think about the pain in your heart, I just said it casually just now, it's okay."

"Hmm..." Xu Xiaoqi still frowned, clutching the cloth on his chest with one hand, but it was slightly looser than before.

Qi Zizhen didn't have much experience in taking care of children, so he didn't know what to say when he saw his expression, so he could only silently accompany him, waiting for his expression to calm down a little bit.

I don't know if it was because of the pain in my heart just now, the child was weaker than before, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.

Qi Zizhen listened to his steady breathing, but his heart seemed to fall into the bottom of the coldest lake.

In the first life, he was tortured by Gu poison for several months, and Qi Zizhen's reaction to the poison was very clear.

This includes the pain in my heart every time I try to mention the "gu"

He took all precautions, but he still couldn't guard against Song Ping's tricks.

But why this time it was Xu Xiaoqi who suffered the calamity for him, he would rather bear the suffering of the first life again, and he didn't want to see the people around him being affected by him like this.

This Gu poison was originally aimed at him...

Qi Zizhen took a breath trembling, forcing himself to calm down.

He carefully tucked up the quilt for the child, and walked out of the room lightly.

Outside the room, Song Yaoxu and the others are still listening to the imperial physician's report. Generally speaking, the cause is unknown, but the situation may be critical.

The expressions of the three of them became uneasy. Among them, Song Shi, who was facing the door, was the first to notice Qi Zizhen who came out, and quickly asked, "Brother Qi, how is Brother Xiaoqi?"

Qi Zizhen shook his head: "He fell asleep again, and the situation seems to be getting worse."

Song Shi's eyes became more anxious, and he hurriedly went in to check the situation, but Qi Zizhen didn't stop him, and turned sideways for him to go in.

Song Yaoxu ordered the imperial physician to go down and make medicine for Xu Xiaoqi according to the temporary prescription. After receiving the order, the imperial physician said goodbye and left with the palace servants.

And not long after the imperial physician and the palace servants left, Zuo Jiayi, who was still standing between Song Yaoxu and Qi Zizhen, suddenly knelt down, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Please, Your Majesty, the National Teacher, punish me."

Both Song Yaoxu and Qi Zizhen were taken aback by his kneeling. Qi Zizhen, who was closest to him, stepped forward and wanted to help him up: "This matter has nothing to do with Grand Tutor Zuo. It was my negligence when taking care of Xiaoqi. Fu has no need to blame himself."

But Zuo Jiayi didn't use his strength to get up, as if he was still waiting for Song Yaoxu's intention.

Of course Song Yaoxu couldn't possibly blame him, he said softly, "Teacher Zuo has done his duty, there is no need for Grand Tuo Zuo to take responsibility for this matter, get up quickly."

After hearing what Song Yaoxu said, Zuo Jiayi really didn't continue to kneel. After thanking him, he stood up with his usual indifferent expression, as if his behavior just now was just a formality.

But both Song Yaoxu and Qi Zizhen knew his temperament, and knew that although he looked so indifferent, he was still sincere to the children.

Out of continued discussion on the matter of Gu poison, the two of them did not stay here any longer, and after Song Yaoxu finished telling them to take good care of the child, they temporarily returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The palace servants of the Palace of Mental Cultivation are all screened by Song Yaoxu himself, but no matter what, you need to be careful.

After he returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he immediately pushed back the palace people, and then Cui Liang guarded the door to ensure that no random people would suddenly come in.

After ensuring the surrounding environment, Qi Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Song Yaoxu: "I've confirmed it, it's the poison I got in the first life."

The only luck left by the two of them was shattered.

Qi Zizhen himself and Song Yaoxu were very aware of Qi Zizhen's situation in the first life, and Qi Zizhen was used to suffering from illnesses in the first life, but Xu Xiaoqi was different.

He is just an ordinary kid who is eleven or twelve years old and has not had time to experience anything.

Qi Zizhen sat at the table, tightly holding the teacup in his hand.

Xu Xiaoqi was originally just a child from an ordinary family, and he should have lived his life happily and ordinaryly, but he had to suffer such a situation because of him.

If something happened to Xu Xiaoqi because of this, he might never be able to forgive himself.

"The matter has come to this point, we can only take one step forward, at least we can't let Xiao Qi's situation worsen."

Song Yaoxu, who was standing beside him, sighed softly, and could only say such words as comfort.

Qi Zizhen still listened.

After closing his eyes, he forced himself to calm down, let go of the tea cup he was holding tightly, and re-analyzed the current situation.

Not many people knew about Xu Xiaoqi's illness, and Qi Zizhen was weaker than recently due to lack of sleep. Song Ping may have mistakenly thought that he really ate rice cakes yesterday.

This time Song Ping's Gu poison was the same as in the first life, so he probably wanted to use the same means in the first life to damage Qi Zizhen's reputation, imprison him openly and impose forbidden techniques.

That being the case, they could use their tricks and pretend that Qi Zizhen had really been poisoned by the poison, so as to lure Song Ping to reveal his most serious cheating feet.

But Xu Xiaoqi's situation cannot be ignored.

Unavoidably arousing Song Ping's suspicion, after discussing, they decided to let Xu Xiaoqi stay in the palace on the grounds that Qi Zizhen was unwell and could not take care of the children, and then secretly called Qin Gong into the palace to see how he was doing.

The plan is roughly arranged, Qi Zizhen is not worried about Song Yaoxu's performance in the court, but Song Yaoxu is afraid that he will do it for the sake of realism, so he worriedly said: "This time I let you pretend to be sick, you must not be really sick. gone."

"Your Highness, don't worry." Qi Zizhen raised his head slightly, his eyes were cold, as if covered with a layer of frost and snow, and like tough bamboos standing tall and straight in the ice field.

"Song Ping is not worth my sacrifice."

The author has something to say: I moved things for a day from 09:30 in the morning to 05:30 in the afternoon, and I almost thought I couldn't catch up with the update, but I didn't expect to be succeeded by my life and death speed hahahahaha I'm awesome! (?)
