Lin Yue stepped into the dormitory with her lunch, and saw Le Zhi sitting in a dignified manner.
"What's wrong with the master?" Linyue put down her lunch and asked, "Is it because you are not feeling well?"
Le Zhi shook his head, "It's alright, can I finish what I told you yesterday?"
Hearing this, Lin Yue nodded, but her expression was a little unnatural.
She turned around, looked out cautiously, and after making sure that no one was there, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and said softly in a low voice, "The doctor in Yongchuntang said that this medicine works best... "
"But Master..." Linyue's cheeks were getting redder and redder, her little hands seemed to have nowhere to put, and she scratched her head, "If, if Your Highness really has... Would it be better for a doctor to take a look?"
"No, Your Highness has a good face."
Lin Yue blinked thoughtfully and sighed in her heart. There are many rules in the Prince's Mansion, but in the past, these maids often wondered when they were chatting—
Which of the men in the royal family of Daqi does not have several concubines to share the room, why is the prince always alone
It turns out...that's what happened.
Unexpectedly, it is not easy for the crown prince. He already has leg problems, but he did not expect that there are hidden problems in his body.
Fortunately, there is now a prince concubine. The princess looks like a fairy and has a good heart. She even takes into account the dignity of the prince and asks her to buy medicine secretly.
Lin Yue thought that it would get better.
study.
Huo Du pushed the wheelchair to the window, expressionless, allowing the cold wind outside the window to blow his face.
An Xuan stood in front of the desk with a frown. It had been a long time since his report ended. His Highness had been sitting like this with a straight face, wondering what he was thinking.
He was also puzzled: what exactly does the Crown Princess want to do
It was obvious that the Crown Princess had surrendered to His Highness before, so why did she join forces with the Third Prince to assassinate His Highness? But the Crown Princess doesn't look like such a swaying person.
But if it is true, according to His Highness's character, she will not be kept until tomorrow...
What about Jingxin
In the past few days, he has seen more and more smiles on Jing Xin's face, which is much better than when he was dead in the East Palace. But if the Crown Princess is gone, will Jing Xin continue to return to the East Palace
Thinking of this, An Xuan blurted out a little anxiously: "Your Highness, is there a secret in this?"
As soon as the words came out, he felt something was wrong, and hurriedly added: "This subordinate has made a blunder."
Bai Yu's wheelchair turned, Huo Du chuckled lightly, and set his eyes on An Xuan—
In the slave farm that year, An Xuan stood out from a group of sin slaves covered in blood and was pardoned.
Huo Du found him and asked him to follow him. An Xuan did not agree immediately. Huo Du saw his concerns and asked with a smile, "What do you want? I only wish you one wish."
An Xuan thought for a moment and said, "There is a girl who is helpless now..."
In just a split second, Huo Du understood.
An Xuan has weaknesses.
The human heart is unpredictable, and those who have weaknesses are more useful.
Over the years, Huo Du has arranged his weakness in the East Palace according to his wishes. As for who the girl was and what it had to do with An Xuan, he did not go to check.
unimportant.
It wasn't until a servant from the East Palace caused trouble a few days ago that he actually got that person involved, and Huo Du didn't know that the person was called Jing Xin.
Obviously, Le Zhi also saw this, so he deliberately transferred people to work beside him. It seems that this princess of his can take advantage of people's hearts more than him! It's only been a few days, and even An Xuan, who has always been cold and taciturn, doesn't consciously speak for her.
Ah.
"Go down."
An Xuan frowned and asked, "Then the killer tonight was dealt with in advance?"
"No, let them come." Huo Du curved his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.
For the whole day, both of them had their own thoughts.
Until dinner time, Le Zhi sat down at the dining table, thinking about how she would coax people into the backyard if Huo Du didn't come for dinner
Just as he was thinking about it, a servant's greeting came from outside the hall. Le Zhi showed her face, smiled and stood up to greet her. She familiarly pushed the wheelchair to the table, and then sat down beside Huo Du.
The hall was silent, neither of them spoke, only the dishes on the table were steaming. Le Zhi picked up the spoon and added a bowl of fragrant chicken soup to Huo Du and himself.
Le Zhi held the chicken soup, blew lightly, and took a small sip. The umami of the medlar fungus is melted into the soup, sliding into the throat, warm and fragrant.
"Did His Highness play "Tang Xue Song" that day?"
Huo Du didn't even raise his eyes, he just made a light hum.
"Can Your Highness teach me?" Le Zhi put down the porcelain-white soup bowl and asked, "This song is my sister's favorite song."
"Okay." Huo Du put down the silver chopstick and looked up at her, "When will you learn?"
Le Zhi pursed his lips, and Wu Liang's eyes turned, as if thinking, "How about tonight? How about going to the backyard?"
There was no wave on the snow-white cheeks, as if he really just wanted to learn the flute. Huo Du hooked his lips, his eyes drooped slightly, hiding the sadness in his eyes.
"OK."
After dinner, Lezhi brewed a pot of mint tea by himself, and poured all the medicines that Linyue brought into the teapot by the way.
Li Yao entered the room with a dignified expression, she was anxious for a whole day, and her eyelids kept twitching. She didn't know what the master's plan was, but she was always uneasy. She thought it must be some dangerous plan...
"Everything is arranged?"
"Yes, master, don't worry." Li Yao said in a deep voice, "The servants and Jing Xin have already brought all the servants in the house to the west room."
Le Zhi smiled and nodded in relief. Fortunately, Huo Du had said that the dispatch of servants in the mansion could be decided by her at will. In this way, she can make arrangements in advance.
And Li Yao, today is no different...
Then the master-servant battle, Le Zhi thought, if something happened to her tonight, she would have a way to save Li Yao's life.
"Okay, it's getting late, go down and have a good rest."
"Ke Hai Shi..." Li Yao bit his lip and said worriedly.
Le Zhi stood up and patted her shoulder to reassure her.
After leaving Yao, Le Zhi counted the time, it was almost time for Hai, she lifted the teapot and took a deep breath, and stepped out firmly...
There was silence outside, and there was no one else except the guards who were watching the night.
Le Zhi walked to the backyard, just like that day, Huo Du arrived early. She walked towards him and put the teapot on the stone table. Just like that night, he took off his cotton cloak and put it on Huo Du's lap.
Then she took a teacup at random and poured hot mint tea into it.
Her brows and eyes were soft, and she handed the teacup to Huo Du.
Huo Du glanced at it, the clear brown color accompanied by the fragrance of mint, the same as before. He laughed, "Poisoned again?"
"It's not poisoned." Le Zhi bent his lips and blinked, "But something else was added. Try it, Your Highness?"
Huo Du didn't answer, he just drank all the tea with a smile.
Le Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. After getting along for the past few days, I could see how proud and conceited Huo Du was in his bones. She deliberately told the truth falsely, betting that he would drink it disdainfully.
"Prince Princess doesn't want to learn flute tonight, right?"
When the cold wind picked up, Le Zhi, who took off her cotton cloak, was wearing only a snow-colored rucksack. She shrugged, rubbed her hands, and sat down on the stone chair calmly. Then he hummed softly, "Actually, I want to learn, but I'm afraid it's too late tonight."
"Oh?"
Le Zhi pursed her lips and said frankly, "Didn't Your Highness already know about it?"
Hearing this, Huo Du raised his peach blossom eyes and stared at Le Zhi's face carefully. To his surprise, he couldn't see the expression on her face.
What exactly does she want to do
Warming his palms, he saw Le Zhi holding his hand.
Le Zhi set his eyes on the roof behind Huo Du, and a few shadows slowly probed...
Huo Du didn't even turn his head, his expression was calm, "Prince Concubine thought that by holding Gu's hand like this, the group of trash on the roof could take Gu's life?"
Le Zhi smiled and shook his head.
The dark guard on the eaves aimed at Huo Du with a strong crossbow, and resolutely pressed down...
The silver arrow came in the wind, and Huo Du could still feel the arrow wind even though he was behind him. A ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he concentrated his inner strength in the palm of his left hand.
Seeing the silver arrows flying, Le Zhi finally calculated the timing, got up and pounced behind Huo Du. The silver arrow went right through her thin shoulder, spattering some blood...
The night was too dark, and the dark guard on the roof saw this scene and only thought that Huo Du pulled Le Zhi behind him and blocked the arrow for him. They looked at each other and hurried away.
They all know that the Crown Princess is the person at the heart of the Third Highness, and now I don't know how to end it—
The silver arrow was poisoned!
The snow-colored Ru skirt was stained with blood, and Le Zhi felt a sharp pain from his right shoulder.
For the first time, surprise and puzzlement flashed in Huo Du's peach blossom eyes. He pulled the person to him, "Do you know what you're doing?"
"Of course." Le Zhi's face was pale, and her cherry lips began to turn purple. She stabilized her breath, "Now it's up to Your Highness to save me or not."
Huo Du saw her face and knew that the poison on the silver arrow was very heavy, but he didn't bother to bother with this crazy woman at this time.
"Follow up!" He said with a gloomy face, "I can't hold you alone if I'm a cripple."
Le Zhi smiled and followed him with weak footsteps.
Pushing open the door of the pharmacy, Le Zhi followed, unable to hold it any longer, so he sat down on the soft collapse to rest.
Huo Du leaned on crutches to get the medicine, but as soon as he took the first medicine bottle, a strange heat came from his body. He raised his eyes and stared at the man on the soft collapse—
How dare you poison him
No, not poison.
To feel the body's reaction, this medicine should be...
At this time, Le Zhi also looked at him, her eyes met, she was not afraid, and her tone was innocent: "I told His Highness earlier that something was added to the tea."
It's not poison, it's aphrodisiac...
After she finished speaking, she grabbed the silver arrow on her shoulder and yanked it out, pulling the arrow out. Originally, the wound was blocked by an arrow, and it was only bleeding. Now, when the arrow was pulled out, the black blood from the wound began to pour out desperately like a gurgling water. …
Huo Du only felt pain between his brows. He threw away the porcelain bottle in his hand, suppressed the heat in his body, walked in front of Le Zhi, squeezed her chin with cold white fingers, and lifted it up—
"You want to die, don't you?"
Move your fingertips down and grab her neck, just twist a little...
"Why do you do so much." His voice was hoarse, "I can fulfill you."
"Of course Your Highness can." Le Zhi didn't see any fearful expression on his face, instead he smiled and said, "On the wedding night, if I hadn't turned back to sleep with His Highness, would I have died early?"
Although she had never practiced martial arts, her brother Huang had taught her how to judge the palm style. On the wedding night, when Huo Du gathered his inner strength behind her, she could feel it...
Huo Du's eyes froze, and the hand holding his neck loosened a little.
At this moment, Le Zhi grabbed his hand and pulled him to the soft slump, "The aphrodisiac medicine on Your Highness's body always needs me to solve it."
Huo Du laughed angrily, "Don't take yourself too seriously, there are many women in this mansion."
"Yeah." Le Zhi nodded, "But at this time, they are all in the house in the west, so it's too late for your Royal Highness."
Huo Du didn't answer, just stared blankly at her face.
Compared to the wedding night, she seems to have lost a lot of weight. On his bloodless white cheeks, the agile fox eyes were also sad at this time.
"I've done so much, and I don't even want to die. What do you want?"
"His Royal Highness doesn't like others to beg you." Le Zhi was so angry that she trembled: "Tonight, although I have plotted against Your Highness, I read in the book that a man will always treat his first woman. It will be impressive, right? I hope His Royal Highness will save my sister's life and set her free for the sake of a good night."
"Heh." Huo Du's always pale face began to turn red, and his body was also unbearably hot, "What about Huo Xu? Don't kill him?"
Le Zhi smiled, confident, "His Royal Highness will kill him."
Huo Xu's killer will definitely tell him what happened tonight. As long as she dies, Huo Xu will definitely put the account on Huo Du. A hypocrite like Huo Xu, who prided himself on being affectionate, would always kill Huo Du in the name of avenging her.
In this way, how could Huo Du let him go
Tonight's plan can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
"By the way, there is also Li Yao. I have tried it, and it is available. After my death, His Highness will hand over the letter under the embroidered pillow in the bedroom to her, and she will follow His Highness. I hope His Highness treats Li Yao well, she He is also a miserable person." Sweat dripped from Le Zhi's forehead, and the wound on his shoulder was numb from the pain, "And Jing Xin..."
"To shut up!"
Huo Du didn't want to listen to her anymore, not a word he liked to hear. He raised his hand and pushed Lezhi to the slump to lie on his stomach, and tore off the fabric on her back shoulder, which had been cut open by the arrow—
The shoulders were already bloody.
He sucked in a breath of cold air.
"What?" The person lying on her stomach obviously didn't intend to shut up. She said in a leisurely tone, "Your Highness likes this posture?"
Huo Du kept using his internal strength to suppress the medicinal effects in his body, but this person seemed to be on the fence with him and had to tease him.
He gritted his teeth: "Crazy woman!"
