The bright moon sits on the ground

Nie Qiu saw that he had nothing to do here for the time being, and wondered if Jia Zhao was going to look for Jia Lingchang, so he backed out, his eyes swept away, and Jia Zhao really ran to the study.

Then, behind the rockery not far away, there seems to be the third son Jia Ji who is secretly observing.

What's going on with Jia's family?

He sighed inwardly, feeling that the relationship in the Nie family was not as complicated as that of the Jia family.

And Xiao Xueyang in the room was obviously stunned by the scene just now. He didn't have so many words in his mouth. He just focused on packing up the bottles and cans in the medicine box, and Zhang Yu's understatement was still echoing in his mind, "He It's like dying."

She didn't want to talk, but Zhang Yu didn't let her go so easily.

"Miss Xiao."

Hearing the person next to him calling his name, Xiao Xueyang's hand holding the porcelain bottle trembled slightly. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Concubine cautiously, "Ah, um, what's the matter, Mrs. Concubine?"

Zhang Yu smiled, "Don't be reserved, just call me like before. I want to ask you about Anshenxiang,? I've been using this incense on and off for seven or eight days,? This thing is right Is the damage done to my body irreparable?"

"Seven or eight days,? There shouldn't be any major problems. I'll prescribe another medicine for you later, to ensure that the medicine will cure the disease."

There is nothing else to say after that.

Once the silence spread, the atmosphere in the room cooled down, and it condensed into ice, isolating the two of them.

Fortunately, the maid who went to grab the medicine moved swiftly, and soon stepped into the room with a basket in her hand.

When I entered the door, I saw bloodstains all over the floor. I don't know how this sister feels.

As if seeing a savior, Xiao Xueyang quickly took the basket and went to the side to grind medicine and add water.

After making the syrup, Zhang Yu followed the doctor's advice, held her breath, and drank the surprisingly bitter and unpleasant liquid in the bowl in one gulp.

That thing is really bitter, better than Huanglian, she frowned immediately after swallowing it.

Then Zhang Yu's beautiful face twisted, she bent down, and pressed her hands on her chest, feeling that her throat was uncomfortable as if there were countless feathers tickling gently, or as if there were fishbone embedded in the flesh, the pain was unbearable , my stomach was overwhelmed, and I couldn't help opening my mouth, wanting to spit out all the sad things.

The maid hurriedly pushed the prepared basin over.

She had no appetite these days, and she basically didn't vomit anything, but the feeling of nausea was really uncomfortable, especially when she saw a wriggling worm in the basin, Zhang Yu's face suddenly became ugly.

It was a pitch-black Gu worm, the same color as the black spots on its body, with a faint luster.

Xiao Xueyang was not afraid of these things, but seeing that the expressions of Zhang Yu and the maid were very stiff, he took a step forward, opened the porcelain bottle in his hand, and poured the liquid inside. It looked like it was burning, and there was no extra strange smell, but the Gu worm that wanted to escape immediately stopped moving, and soon turned into a puddle of water.

Seeing that the bug could no longer recognize its original shape, Zhang Yu was relieved, and drank some warm water with the hand of the maid.

"The dark spots on your body should gradually disappear. It will take three days at least, and five days at most, and the dark spots will be completely gone."

"Thank you, Miss Xiao." Concubine Zhang nodded, and then said to the maid, "Lingxi, you go and take out this blanket first, be careful, if you are accidentally bumped into by others, you don't need to explain, Patriarch Jia won't Because of this matter, trouble me."

The maid named Lingxi responded, rolled up the heavy blanket that was stained with blood on the ground, and dragged it out.

Xiao Xueyang didn't pay attention to it before, but now that she saw how relaxed her movements were, she realized that this sister must have great strength.

"correct."

Lingxi paused, stopped by the door, and turned to look at Zhang Yu.

"Please bring in Mr. Nie from outside." Zhang Yu pressed her temple and ordered.

Nie Qiu had been waiting outside the door for half an hour.

For half an hour, as long as he sits by the corridor, there will be small rustling noises behind the rockery not far away. If he stands up, walks to the courtyard, and pretends to be wandering around, the people hiding in the dark will be even more excited. Nervous, he stepped on the tail of a white cat passing by, and the hair on its body stood up, shining under the light of the night light. Hastily carried the cat to the back of the rockery, and coaxed it to smooth its fur.

The cat Yuemo was also very familiar with Jia Ji, so he didn't make much noise.

Half an hour is really not a long time, Nie Qiu thinks Jia Ji's reaction is really interesting, enough to pass the time.

And he thought he hadn't been discovered.

Just when Lingxi came to ask Nie Qiu to come in, he simply looked away, responded, and walked towards Zhang Yu's wing.

He clearly heard Jia Ji let out a long sigh of relief, followed by the sound of angrily scratching the rocks on the rockery.

I don't know what kind of animal it is.

Lingxi seemed to have heard it too. She first glanced there suspiciously, and then showed a clear expression. After Nie Qiu entered the room, she closed the door behind her and dragged the heavy blanket away.

When Nie Qiu entered, Xiao Xueyang had already cleaned up the contents of the basin.

Although Zhang Yu's complexion is still very bad, it is better than before, probably due to the resolution of her worries.

"Does Madam have anything to say to me?" he asked.

"Miss Xiao, Mr. Nie, please sit down." Concubine Zhang waved her hands, and after the two sat down, she continued, "I won't keep it from you until now. Patriarch Jia will know..."

She coughed twice to ease the dryness of her throat, "Young Master Nie, you are now the right protector of the Demon Sect."

Nie Qiu didn't expect that Zhang Yu would mention this matter for a moment, so he couldn't help being taken aback, and then nodded.

Although I don't know what Zhou Ru's intention is, but it is not to harm him.

"Mr. Nie, you should know that the Jia family has reached a cooperation with the Demon Sect." Zhang Yu said, "The owner of the family wants to make friends with you, but because of the identity of the Nie family, there is no way to directly contact you." Let me mention it to you. The two of you are invited here not only to let Miss Xiao see a doctor for me, but also to discuss some matters."

Zhang Yu straightened up, sat on the edge of the bed, and continued with a serious face: "Before I say anything, I want to introduce myself. I don't know if you two know that my father is King Zhen'e? The Demon Cult seems to want to go The expansion of forces in the north will inevitably come into contact with my father, and I will not mention the pros and cons of it. In short, Zuo Hufa and I have been in correspondence for several months. talk."

"That's why Patriarch Jia and I know about Mr. Nie's identity. As for the fact that the two of us haven't told anyone else, it's because the leader of the Devil's Cult hasn't spread the news... dare to guess, whether it's because of concerns about the Nie family. , and the identity of the high priest?"

Whether Fang Qisheng thought so, Nie Qiu didn't know, but he should have guessed pretty well.

Seeing that Nie Qiu didn't answer, Zhang Yu showed a gentle and reassuring smile, "The Patriarch of the Nie family has never dealt with evil ways. This is not only the Demon Cult, but the Jia family also knows about it. As for the identity of the high priest, it is easier to guess." Well, the imperial court cannot easily release people. Therefore, Mr. Nie is staying at the Wangshan Inn these days, not just to avoid suspicion, right?"

Nie Qiu felt that he had vaguely guessed something.

Could this not be what Zhou Ru said at the beginning, the preparation to cut off his retreat?

He became interested for a while, wanting to see how well prepared Zhou Ru was, so he agreed with her statement.

Xiao Xueyang felt that this scene could no longer allow her to stay any longer, and she even had a strange thought, thinking that Zhang Yu's words sounded like——Fang Jiaozhu and the others were secretly cheating on her. Where is brother?

Also, why not let her avoid suspicion?Could it be that they have subconsciously classified her into the Demon Cult?

She was a little depressed, but she was also full of curiosity about Zhang Yu's next words.

"Young Master Nie, it's time to call you the right protector. What I want to say is that no matter what you and the leader choose, you will always get into trouble. After leaving the imperial city, if you have nowhere to go, you can come to my town for a while. " Zhang Yu said solemnly, her voice was gentle but full of strength, "Zhen'e can be used as a retreat, and the Demon Cult will be safe for a while."

Nie Qiu felt his throat was a little dry for a moment, he was silent for a moment, and asked, "Why did you do this?"

Zhang Yu replied: "This is also my father's decision. I heard that he is an old friend with the former leader of the Demon Cult, but since he was arrested and became the king of the county, he has rarely contacted him. Because the leader Fang killed his master to seize the throne, So my father gradually became estranged from the Demon Cult, and Zhou Hufa corresponded with me for several months, just asking me to persuade him. He has a stubborn temper, and he was only willing to let go after hearing that Baihumen had surrendered a while ago."

"Since King Zhen'e is willing to agree, it means that his relationship with the former leader should be very good."

However, his impression of Fang Qisheng should be very bad, after all, he was the one who was rumored to have killed his friend.

His letting go should not be because of any grievances, but because he didn't want to see Chang Jinyu's hard work ruined.

"A year ago, when I went back to Zhen'e to visit relatives, Master Chang happened to come to the house to look for my father. At that time, the two of them were still drinking heavily. The world is changing, and it is really embarrassing to think about it now." Zhang Concubine gently shook his head.

Then she found that the person in front of her was suddenly silent, as if she was thinking about something.

Concubine Zhang was a little puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and called out, "Guardian Nie? What's wrong with you?"

Nie Qiu managed to regain his composure and confirmed, "Mrs. Concubine, are you sure it's the Master Chang that I saw in Zhen'e a year ago?"

"Yes. The seventh day of last month was my birthday. Last year my father just sent me back to Zhen'e to celebrate my birthday, so I can't remember it wrong."

And Fang Qisheng became the leader of the Demon Cult a year ago.

After all, Chang Jinyu should have disappeared at this time a year ago.

After returning, he had to ask Fang Qisheng carefully about the exact time before and after Chang Jinyu's disappearance, to see if he could match.

Nie Qiu temporarily put this information aside, looked at Zhang Yu, "Madam told me so much, maybe there is another reason?"

"Patriarch Jia was supposed to say this, but I told you in advance. Can't Guardian Nie be a little bit mentally prepared?" Zhang Yu narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Patriarch will invite you to the study room soon and ask you Whether the two are willing to make friends with him. During this period of time, you can also think in advance whether to agree or not. "

She didn't wait for Nie Qiu and Xiao Xueyang to react, and immediately continued: "You are right, I do have another purpose, but it's not for Nie Protector, but for this Miss Xiao next to me."

Xiao Xueyang didn't expect that the conversation would turn to him, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Presumably you should have guessed it, it was the soothing incense that my husband gave me. He is very guilty, and he will definitely not be able to resist going to Miss Xiao in a few days, and ask you how long it takes for the medicine to take effect, and whether there is any treatment. Method... I told him that I have been using this Anshenxiang for nearly a month, girl, can you understand what I mean?"

What Zhang Yu told Xiao Xueyang before was that she used it intermittently for seven or eight days.

Naturally, seven or eight days will not have much impact.

And for nearly a month, there must be no cure.

That is to say, Zhang Yu asked Xiao Xueyang to go with her to hide Jia Zhao, making him think that the medicine had taken effect and Zhang Yu would never be able to give birth to any more children, which made his heart drop to the ground.

"I don't know what Miss Xiao wants, so I have to start with Nie Hufa." Zhang Concubine tapped lightly on the edge of the bed, looking very happy, "Nie Hufa should find a way to help me persuade Xiao girl?"

There is no room for rejection at all.

Xiao Xueyang was convinced, winked at Nie Qiu, and agreed.

"Since it's my sister's request, I have no reason not to agree."

Zhang Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "Since you agree, it would be best."

Xiao Xueyang thought, Jia Zhao might be played by Zhang Yu for the rest of his life.
