Death Princess

"Then..." Zhao Lu took a deep breath, "Have you found out her identity?"

"It's been found out." He Yi said, "Sister Lu, do you still remember the concubine of the Yang family who almost entered the palace as a concubine?"

"Remember, in my impression, she lost her eligibility to enter the palace because of something happened between her and an official. Could it be that official..."

"That's right, that official is Brother Chao's biological father. The marriage of Brother Chao's parents is a traditional matchmaker's order. The two of them had never met before their marriage. Not long after Brother Chao was born, Uncle Chao Concealed the identity of the spirit clan and entered the court as an official, and did not bring his wife and children with him."

"And the daughter of the Yang family had a lover long before the Yang family decided to send her to the palace. But that lover came from a humble background and had no official position. The Yang family would never marry their daughter to him, even if It was a done deal. At that time, it happened that Uncle Chao had accidentally revealed his identity as a Spirit Race in front of the daughter of the Yang family, so the daughter of the Yang family thought of a way to coerce Uncle Chao into performing a play with her on the condition that she concealed her identity as a Spirit Race, so that She married Uncle Chao."

"The original agreement between the two was that even though they lived under the same roof after the wedding, they would not interfere. She and her lover would enjoy themselves in Dongyuan, and Uncle Chao would write letters to his wife and children in Xiyuan. , Uncle Chao used illusion to create an attack, escaped from the capital, and the daughter of the Yang family who became a widow would have a chance to remarry. Widowed women are naturally meaningless to the Yang family. Marrying a humble There is nothing wrong with men, so she can be with her lover in a legitimate way."

"Her calculation was very good, but she missed one point, that is, the Yang family knew more about what the Spirit Race was than she thought. They had already started raising cults, hunting the Spirit Race, and forcibly The Lingzu spirit feathers are gone. Uncle Chao's identity has not been hidden from them for long. The reason why they are not in a hurry is because they know that Uncle Chao has a wife, children, and family, and they are waiting to cast a long line to catch big fish. "

"The letter that Uncle Chao sent back home was not a report of safety, but a group of spirit hunters. Brother Chao's A Niang resisted desperately so that Brother Chao escaped. On the way to escape, he was about to meet the same Uncle Chao who escaped for his life."

"Father and son fled all the way to Xueming Valley," Zhao Lu continued, "I remembered that they were properly settled as our distant relatives at that time, and the Yang family's pursuers were also dealt with by us. But Uncle Chao didn't stay in Xueming Valley for long, but left Bofan behind and went out alone to find his wife, saying that he would not leave her alone like that. Let's go outside and continue to feel sorry for her."

"Father sent someone to follow him all the way, but he lost him when he reached Qi. He must have entered the canyon for some reason, and I didn't see him until five years later when I entered the canyon. He sent me out, but he died in the canyon. As for Bofan's aunt...Uncle Chao couldn't find it, but we did, it was the one in the inn...the person in the vat."

Zhao Lu took a deep breath and stood up, "So, Yao Jingyu is the child that Yang's befriends her?"

"Yes."

"Then why would someone hire a dark cabinet killer to kill her?"

"Because she knew the secret of the Yang family hunting the spirit clan to let blood and drink blood to control the spirit feathers. The crown prince's side concubine ran away desperately on the day of her wedding because she broke through this. Now, although she has married into the prince's mansion, But there is no news, and I don't know if she is still alive. As for Yao Jingyu's father and mother, they had already left the capital at that time, and the Yang family didn't want to dirty their hands, so they hired the dark pavilion. What a coincidence , the killer who was sent was... Sister."

Chao Lu pinched her knuckles with a loud noise.

After a long time, Zhao Lu sighed: "Yi'er, you don't have to hide it anymore, just say it directly. You came here to send this news that no one dared to send? I have a spiritual connection with her. Knowing that she...is not very good."

"..." He Yi hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "The existence of the prince's sister, His Majesty's daughter, and Princess Yong'an has indeed been made public. But the Yong'an Palace where my sister lives is guarded to death by the imperial army directly under His Majesty, except Neither Your Majesty nor the Empress can come in and out casually. But at the same time, you also know..."

"It is said that His Majesty's dragon body is not healthy, and he is spending a lot of money to seek medical treatment." Chao Lu said, "So, this doctor is not for His Majesty himself, but for... A Tong?"

"That's right. Last night, for some unknown reason, the Emperor's uncle took me in to see her. She..." After a long pause, "I have been unconscious."

unconscious.Zhaolu bit her lip.

"The doctors inside and outside the palace have all tried, but they are all at a loss. Someone dared to ask Xueminggu's genius doctor in front of him and the emperor's aunt. If it was in the past, you know what he would do when he heard the word "Lingzu" This kind of reaction, but that day, he didn't say much, and didn't deal with that person, but let him go down with a wave of his hand."

"After that, the husband and wife seemed to have talked for a long time. I don't know what they talked about, but judging from his appearance when he came out, he probably had a lot of quarrel. Since that day, Aunt Huang hasn't talked much I have been out of Yong'an Palace, and the emperor's uncle has never favored any concubine at night."

"Now we, the Spirit Race, take advantage of our spiritual power and adopt guerrilla tactics to make the imperial court miserable. However, since we have never actually raised the flag of rebellion, we have never taken the initiative to attack Chicheng, and we are popular among the people. Excellent word-of-mouth, for example, many people in the imperial court think that this is a waste of people and money, finding fault for nothing, meaningless, asking for trouble, self-destructing the Great Wall, and more and more proposals for peace talks are proposed day by day."

"Basically, the court is divided into two factions, the main peace faction and the main battle faction. The main peace faction, including me, is dominated by Liu Xiang, General Ning, Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. With the crown prince and the Yang family at the head, General Dingyuan remained neutral from the beginning to the end." He Yi said again, "Sister Lu, after looking around, I think it may be about time. Besides, sister's injury is really serious. ..."

"I know," Zhao Lu responded and walked forward, "It's time to send a step to His Majesty, and I'll arrange it right away." After walking two steps, she stopped again, "No, it's up to me Do it yourself. I'll go find you in a few days."

"You want to come to the capital? Sister Lu, are you serious? As the young master of the spirit clan, you broke into the capital alone?"

"That's not the case," Zhao Lu smiled, "I've tried it before, and the strength left in my body by the Fengyuwei Zhenfu made me a blessing in disguise. Although I don't know the reason for this, but now my spiritual power has already disappeared. It won't be noticed by the bell of the Wind Whisper Guard."

"So, the one who went to the capital was not the young master of the spirit clan, but," with a wave of his hand, he changed into a boyish face resembling Liu Yanxue, "the empress's cousin——the genius doctor Liu Lu."

"Huh? You want to go back to Liu's house as Liu Lu? I'm not afraid that the old man Liu Xiang will take all the blame of your parents, grandparents, and grandparents on your head. When the tea is served in the morning, he will come down and let you kneel through the floor. gone?"

"Kneeling, kneeling, anyway, my legs have been through for a long time. Besides, after kneeling for a few days, the majestic Princess Yong'an can call me 'little uncle', which is not a loss."

"..." The silver ball of light flickered, as if rolling its eyes, and then disappeared without a word.

. . .

After He Yi left, Chao Lu's frown, which had been loosened for a while, wrinkled together again.

Leng Tong was in a coma, and the doctors inside and outside the palace were helpless...

"Where are you going?" Liu Yanxue's voice suddenly sounded from behind. It turned out that Zhao Lu walked into Auntie's yard unknowingly.

"Mother, I..."

"Could it be that you plan to go to the capital to treat Tong'er? Oh, why don't I, a mother, know that you can still see a doctor, little Lulu? Do you still remember the acupuncture points on the back of the herbal medicine that I taught you ten years ago?"

"..." I almost forgot that not everyone can see illness.

"Okay." Seeing the sadness mixed with her daughter's emaciated expression, Liu Yanxue lost the interest in teasing her for a moment. She stepped forward and patted her daughter's shoulder, "Go as you want," whistled. A thumb monkey came out from nowhere and stood in Liu Yanxue's palm, "Since your spiritual power can't be detected by Fengyuwei, then take Xiaoji with you, it has half of my spiritual feather on it." , When you feel the pulse and the needle, you let your body out and exchange it with it, just lend it to me. If you are sick, I will help you."

Zhao Lu was stunned, and only for a moment, the thumb monkey jumped onto Zhao Lu's shoulder in a familiar way.

"Leave Chestnut here, so you can understand the situation here." Chao Qing walked out of the house holding Chestnut.

"Father..."

"That child has his own auspiciousness, so he will be fine." Chaoqing said again.

"Um……"

"Ma'am, can you still trust my medical skills?" Liu Yanxue asked.

"..."

"But before you go," Liu Yanxue said again, "you might want to meet someone first."

"Meet someone?"

"Jinzi Room No. [-] in Xueshuang Building, you will know when you go." Chao Qing said, "Remember, go as Liu Lu."

. . .

Half an hour later, Room No. [-], Jinzi, Xueshuang Building.

As soon as Zhao Lu stepped into the room, she plopped down on her knees: "Cao Min Liu Lu sees the Queen..."

"Hey, what is the eighth brother doing?" Empress Liu Liu Yanlan grabbed Chao Lu, "There is no outsider here, just you and my brother, you don't need to care about these red tapes. Besides, sister is coming this time, or I have a request from you, brother."

"..." If you ask for it, you will ask for it. Can you not leave the "elder sister" and the right "eighth brother"?With this seniority, how can I marry your A Tong?Suddenly, Zhao Lu regretted the advantage of her seniority.

The two sat before and after the case, and Liu Yanlan politely poured tea for Chao Lu, "To be honest, I came to look for the eighth brother this time for the same person." Passing the teacup in front of Chao Lu, without saying a word, just It was as if the teacup being handed out was the request being handed out.

Zhao Lu sighed, caught the teacup, and drank it down in one gulp.

After a while, "Empress," Zhao Lu hesitated to speak, "Empress, since you have come to look for me, do you know... that I study under Xueminggu?"

"I also know that this request is difficult, but..." Liu Yanlan leaned forward and grabbed Zhao Lu's hands that were placed on the table, "Please trust me, I will definitely protect your safety. And I will always be the only one who knows. I have made sufficient preparations when I came this time, and there is absolutely no one following behind me, and Your Majesty will never know about it. Even if you know, you are just a student of the evil clan, and what you learned is medical skills, not sorcery. , and you are kind to Tong'er, His Majesty will definitely not repay you with revenge."

The Queen left Beijing to seek medical treatment, how could His Majesty leave without knowing?Just like when he sent A Tong away 20 years ago, he just acquiesced. The 20-year plan was once destroyed by the crown prince's friendship with the Lingzu and the crown prince's coma. He was looking for a new way out, and at the same time, he was also looking for a way out for the battle that could not be fought.

Before the choice between power and flesh and blood, he never chose to give up his flesh and blood again.For this, Zhao Lu didn't know whether she should be happy for Leng Tong or sad for Leng Tong.

She took a deep breath and withdrew her thoughts, "No, no," she held Liu Yanlan's hand instead, "Empress, I don't mean that. People, I will save them, no matter what. I said so, just I just want you to be mentally prepared. Since I am willing to go to the capital, I will naturally find a way to leave unscathed, but you..."

"Eighth brother, don't worry about that, I still say the same thing, I just want to save her, even if the price is my life, even if His Majesty punishes me for treason."

Looking into Liu Yanlan's eyes for a long time, "...OK."

Seeing this, Liu Yanlan stood up: "Thank you for being here..." Asking for a big gift to Zhao Lu.
