After thinking of Xie Xiao, Fu Jinming's face paled. The dark guard who came back saw his expression and lowered his head slightly, afraid to see something he shouldn't see again.
It was almost evening outside, and the rain was still pattering. Fu Jinming pursed his lips and said after a long time: "Go and find out why King Mobei appeared in the Empress Dowager's Palace today."
It's okay if it's an accident, but if...
Thinking of this, Fu Jinming's eyes darkened.
The hidden guards below had been ordered to disappear, and he was the only one left in the study. Fu Jinming glanced at the scroll, paused with his fingertips, and finally put the painting on the burning candle beside him.
The painting that reflected half of the beauty's face was quickly reduced to ashes, blown by the wind, and scattered gently on the ground. He paused for a moment, then slowly withdrew his gaze.
On the other side, Xie Xiao went straight back to the mansion after leaving, and waved back the guards who came over.
The doctor in the mansion was startled when he saw him like this: "My lord, what are you doing?" Before he could say anything, Xie Xiao interrupted him.
The man with serious eyebrows tore off the corner of the black robe and threw it to him, his voice was cold: "I was drugged."
"The aroma came from the robe at that time. You can check it and prepare an antidote."
After many years in the battlefield, his endurance has long been honed. Even though his stomach is scorching hot, he can still speak normally.
The doctor in the mansion was invited by Xie Xiao from the Jianghu. He likes to study those strange poisons on weekdays. He is good at medicines like this kind of medicine that enters the poison with fragrance.
I thought it was just an ordinary aphrodisiac, but the bent doctor took a look, and his face became a little more serious.
He took a look under the candlelight with the corner of his robe, and then turned around and asked, "How long has your lord been taking this medicine?"
How long
Xie Xiao grasped his palm and thought about it. It took at least an hour from meeting Zhou Yi in the garden to hiding in the Empress Dowager's Palace.
He said in a hoarse voice, then frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with this incense?"
The doctor glanced at him and nodded: "This incense is a kind of secret medicine in Miaojiang, which is extremely rare. If I hadn't gone to southern Xinjiang to seek medicine when I was young, I wouldn't have known it."
"Besides the scorching heat in his stomach, what else does the prince feel?" He asked again cautiously.
Xie Xiao thought for a while, and just wanted to shake his head, but he seemed to think of something again. He paused and said: "The medicinal properties are especially rapid when they first flare up, and now they have retreated a little."
When he said this, the doctor had already figured it out: "The prince must have a woman by his side when he has an attack."
Seeing Xie Xiao frown, he leaned over and explained: "My lord doesn't know, this medicine is actually used when men and women in Miaojiang form a marriage, and people who take this medicine will have a psychedelic effect, It's overwhelming. But this drug isn't for everyone, it's only for the first woman you see when it kicks in."
"During the first attack, if there is a woman around, the medicinal properties will be more rapid."
After hearing the explanation, Xie Xiao already understood what Zhou Yi wanted to do.
She gave herself this kind of medicine, but then asked him to give her the clothes, obviously because she had calculated the time correctly and wanted to threaten him with this.
If it hadn't been for the mistake of entering the Empress Dowager's palace...
Thinking of this, Xie Xiao couldn't help but a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes. No one had ever dared to calculate her like this. He didn't expect to fight eagles all day long, but today he was pecked in the eye by an eagle.
He pursed his lips slightly and asked, "How to take this medicine?"
The burning pain in my stomach has eased a little, but it hasn't completely subsided. His voice was low, but the doctor leaned over and was a little embarrassed.
"My lord, this medicine, this medicine does not have an antidote. It was used by Miaojiang women in their bridal chambers. It can only be relieved by having sex with the woman you met when the medicine took effect."
He didn't know who Xie Xiao saw at first sight, he only thought it was an ordinary maid before speaking, but he didn't know that the first person he saw was the Queen Mother.
Because of the doctor's words, the already suppressed heat was a bit scorching, and Xie Xiao unconsciously remembered the scene when he saw Gu Yu.
When thinking of that snow-colored skin, he slowly closed his eyes.
"Is there really no other antidote?" He asked again.
The doctor didn't dare to lie, so he could only shake his head.
I don't know if it's because of the effect of the medicine or his original thoughts, Xie Xiao's heart/desire/thoughts are complicated, and his eyes are a little red. But he knew that that person was the queen mother, no matter what, he shouldn't be able to touch it.
Those hot thoughts that shouldn't have made his fingertips stiff/stiff/, from the scene when Gu Yu undressed in front of the mirror to the scene where Fu Jinming held her long hair.
Xie Xiao's heart was dry, and it took a long time before he opened his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "What will happen if you don't understand this medicine?"
The doctor frowned slightly and said: "The villain has never seen it in this life."
Quietly in the room, Xie Xiao clenched his knuckles and finally said, "Thank you, sir."
Knowing that he had made a decision, the doctor picked up the medicine box and bowed away. After he left, Xie Xiao ordered the guards to prepare a large bucket of ice water.
Gu Yu didn't know what happened after they left that day.
She just felt that Xie Xiao was a little strange recently.
Although she is not very enthusiastic when I see her in the past, she will not deliberately avoid it. But in the past few days, as long as there is Xie Xiao wherever she goes, the king of Mobei who has always behaved presumptuously will bend down and lower his head, and he will not raise his head again until she leaves.
After going back and forth, Gu Yu felt that she had offended him recently
Anyway, she saved him last time, not to mention gratitude, seeing her now is like seeing a plague god. Gu Yu talked to the system from the bottom of her heart, and had a very reasonable suspicion that Xie Xiao must have hooked up with the heroine.
"Didn't the original book say that as long as the heroine blows the pillow, King Mobei will not even want principles for her? With his current state, he is definitely already with the heroine."
As she spoke from the bottom of her heart, she asked the system to check the progress bar of the story.
"After you sent Zhou Yi to prison, the current plot has indeed progressed to the scene where the King Mobei and the heroine are together after they exchanged their heart and soul in prison."
After reading it, the system smiled and said, "Congratulations, the storyline is already halfway through."
Gu Yu was relieved after hearing what the system said, and she said that her guess was correct, or else Xie Xiao saw her hiding something. He must be afraid of getting too close to him, and then going back to make the heroine angry.
He looked at the man who lowered his head when he saw himself from a distance. Thinking of the plot, Gu Yu paused, this time instead of leaving straight away like before, she stopped.
Such a sight in the garden is somewhat rare.
Ah Xi also saw the Queen Mother stop for the first time in the past few days, so he quickly took the umbrella and took a few steps forward.
"Queen Dowager." Xie Xiao bowed down and said respectfully when he saw the person coming.
This attitude is too different from usual, but Gu Yu didn't care after knowing that it was because of the heroine. Anyway, the more he looked bad at himself, the more it meant that the plot was on the right track.
She looked at Xie Xiao indifferently, stopped, and said slowly: "Don't King Mobei go to the army at this time?"
As early as when Gu Yu came, Xie Xiao had already seen it.
The doctor's words let him know that he should try his best to avoid Gu Yu now, but for some reason, he often came to the palace these days.
Every evening, as long as it is not raining, Gu Yu will come out to take a walk in the garden to enjoy the flowers. Originally, Xie Xiao could take another path when he came back from the library, but he stopped when he came here.
Sure enough, as before, I saw the Queen Mother.
As the weather turned cold, she put on a snow-white cloak today. The top was plain and simple, tied with only one belt. Looking at it from a distance, it looks more like the Immortal Gushe sitting outside the clouds.
His eyes paused unconsciously, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to see him.
When Gu Yu approached, Xie Xiao smelled a faint fragrance of cold plum, his heart sank slightly, and he lowered his eyes.
Every time he gets close, his medicinal properties will be hard to restrain. But even so, he couldn't leave at this time.
Xie Xiao could only hang his head to answer her words: "Thank you Queen Mother for your concern, I am preparing to go to the army."
The tone of his words was the same as usual. Gu Yu glanced at the man who lowered his head, his eyes paused, and thinking of the lines he had just memorized, he said coldly: "That's good. I just want to tell the prince that the water in the capital is deep. , Some things are better not to interfere."
Ah Xi had told her before that King Mobei went to prison to see Zhou Yi, which was a violation of Gu Yu's taboo.
She went to prison with her own hands, but King Mobei went to visit her again. To outsiders, it would be like slapping her in the face in public. With the original owner's personality, she would definitely not tolerate it.
This line was coldly warned by the original owner when he heard that King Mobei had come out of prison. After thinking about the plot, Gu Yu followed the trend and read it out.
Little did he know that Xie Xiao had indeed gone to prison, but it was not to visit Zhou Yi, but the complete opposite.
He hated people's schemes the most in his life, and Zhou Yi's prescribing drugs had completely offended Xie Xiao. He went to jail just to make her life more difficult.
He once gave her the privilege, but now that he takes it back together, one wonders if Master Zhou can survive in prison.
The hysterical eyes of the prisoner met Gu Yu's cold and arrogant profile, Xie Xiao couldn't help but pause in his heart, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "The Queen Mother is too worried, I have no intention of offending the Queen Mother."
He didn't want to interfere with what she was going to do, but because the medicine had already burned his body, every time he closed his eyes at night, he would think of what he saw that day.
Gu Yu's face appeared in his dreams day by day, Xie Xiao didn't know how long he could bear it. The string called reason in my heart is tense and may break at any time.
— Not only because of the medicinal properties, but also because Gu Yu is the most pleasing person he has ever seen in his life.
Unfortunately, she happens to be the Queen Mother.
Gu Yu didn't know what he was thinking, and pursed her lips slightly after hearing Xie Xiao's words: "It's good that the King of Mobei knows well, and I also think that Mobei will not oppose the Gu family or the royal family."
When she said the last sentence, her voice became flat again.
As if the warning just now didn't exist, only Ah Xi who was beside me was a little worried. The queen mother is too sharp now and has made countless enemies, so it's hard to protect...
Just as she was thinking, she heard a notification that the emperor had also come.
Gu Yu raised her head slightly, and saw Fu Jinming walking over.
He was only wearing normal clothes today, but his figure became more and more slender and his temperament was loose. After seeing Gu Yu, he bent down and saluted, then turned his gaze to Xie Xiao who was at the side.
He pursed his lips and said with an unclear meaning: "The king of Mobei is also here."
Two figures, one green and one red, stood there quietly. Gu Yu didn't expect Fu Jinming to come over at this time, and she felt a little headache. She thought that she knew that she didn't need to talk so much, and just left after finishing speaking.
But since he has already come, Gu Yu couldn't act bored, but said calmly after Xie Xiao's answer: "Some of the flowers in front are blooming pretty well, Ah Xi, help me to have a look."
Her voice was cold, and just as Ah Xi was about to step forward, someone took a step ahead.
Fu Jinming held Gu Yu's hand with downcast eyes and said, "I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time, so let's come today and tomorrow."
He put his hand on Gu Yu's wrist, his brows were as clear as usual, but when he stood up, he looked at Xie Xiao who was beside him.
Suddenly said: "Isn't the prince going to the army, why is he still here?"
