"His Royal Highness!"
Lorna blurted out in panic, and quickly stepped forward to support the crumbling swing clothes.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Lorna looked worriedly at the clothes.
At this moment, the clothes had already torn off the veil on her face, and Lorna realized that her complexion was gray, her forehead and hairline were covered with sweat, and her breathing was even more rapid...
Bai Yi remained silent, propping one hand on the round table beside him, feeling a coldness creeping up from the depths of his body, as if he was being watched by an evil spirit.
The slender body in the clothes was trembling slightly. She tried her best to adjust her breathing, but it was useless. Her breathing became heavier and faster...
The heart sank in the clothes.
She has long discovered that something is wrong with herself these days. Sometimes when she returns to her dream at midnight, she will suddenly wake up, and then find that her body is wet with sweat, and her breathing is a little unsteady.
But during the day, no matter whether it is mental or physical, there seems to be no difference.
She thought it was because she was too tired on the road that she couldn't sleep well at night, but something was getting worse and worse these days.
At the most uncomfortable time, it seemed as if countless ants and insects were eating her flesh and blood, life would be worse than death.
The fists in the clothes were tightly clenched together, and the heartbeat accelerated, as if it was echoing in the ears...
boom! boom! boom!
Others may not know it, but she knows it best. This is clearly a reaction after taking Wuhe Ointment, no, it should be said to be the "sequelae" caused by continuous consumption of Wuhe Ointment.
A few years ago, when Wuhe ointment was first developed, His Highness Kui Lang had arranged for many prisoners and civilians to try this Wuhe ointment. After nearly a year of experimentation, the result was that this Wuhe ointment It is medicine, but it is even more "poison". If only taken once, Wuhe ointment can relieve pain and relieve emotions, and is helpful for many diseases.
However, once taken for a long time, the "sequelae" are enough to turn anyone into a human, a ghost...
During that time, Bai Yi participated in it from beginning to end. She watched those people fall under the temptation of Wuhe Gao every day, and saw with her own eyes how those people were in pain when their drug addiction broke out...
In the end, in order to get more Wuhe Paste, those people can kill people, sell their relatives and friends, and sell their souls...
Later, those scrawny people with empty eyes could no longer be called human beings, they could only be called dolls with human skin but no soul.
What's even more frightening is that she has never seen a person who can get rid of the control of Wuhe Gao with will, never...
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Since then, she has been afraid to avoid Wuhe ointment, so naturally she will not take it on her own initiative now...
But why, why did she have such symptoms? !
Bai Yi's face was getting worse and worse, she clenched her fist subconsciously, pinching her palm fiercely with sharp nails, the pain still didn't make her symptoms get better, on the contrary, it made her more uncomfortable. At this time, Lorna said anxiously from the side: "Your Highness, can I send someone to find a doctor for you?"
"do not go… "
He stopped her by putting on his clothes, and was about to speak, but his eyes involuntarily fixed on the bundle in her hand.
She subconsciously licked her lips, and her dry lips made a certain desire in her heart eager to try. A strange light flashed in her eyes, and she said weakly: "...Lorna, put your things away, step back first, I want to rest alone for a while."
"Your Highness the Holy Maiden..." Lorna looked at Bai Yi worriedly, and wanted to persuade him again, but she heard Bai Yi say flatly, "I'll be fine after a while."
Lorna hesitated for a moment, but she put down her burden and retreated first, thinking that she would come to see the saint later.
After Lorna left, Bai Yi couldn't wait to untie one of the packages, and inside was a wooden box, which was heavy and contained several porcelain jars. Of course, Bai Yi knew what was inside, she hesitated for a moment, but the desire from the heart quickly dispelled the slight hesitation...
She said to herself, instead of guessing secretly, don't you know if you try it
right! Just trying it out...
She stared at the porcelain jars like she was possessed by a demon, she approached them in a strange way, and then she couldn't help opening the lid of a porcelain jar, and eagerly took a spoonful of it with a small silver spoon and put it into her mouth , the right hand holding the silver spoon trembled slightly...
The slightly bitter ointment felt awkward when she took it in the mouth, but soon, she relaxed, her shortness of breath calmed down, her forehead was no longer sweating, and her hands were no longer trembling...
All the discomfort that seemed to be dying just now was gone!
She felt that her soul seemed to fly out of her body, flying higher and higher, soaring through the clouds and fog, as if she was floating in the sky.
She has never felt so good!
It was as if she had lived like a walking dead before, but she hadn't truly lived until now!
Bai Yi closed his eyes, an intoxicated expression appeared on his beautiful face, and he leaned softly on the table...
A moment later, she suddenly opened her blue eyes, her lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, and a strong fear spread rapidly in her heart.
what to do? ! It's really Wuhe ointment!
I'm obviously addicted to Wuhe ointment... Who, who did it? !
Bai Yi suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened.
At the beginning, His Royal Highness Kui Lang personally ordered Wuhe Ointment to be developed. In Baiyue, some people had heard of the name of this medicine, but definitely not many knew its specific effects. She knew very little about it, so she suspected that Nuhar took the opportunity to order someone to rob the batch of Wuhe ointment.
Now, in Baiyue, the only one who knows Wuhe ointment the most and can get enough Wuhe ointment is the sixth highness who also participated in the experiment at that time and was a compatriot with His Highness Kui Lang.
Could it be that…
Thinking of this possibility, Bai Yi couldn't help shivering.
What should she do
Bai Yi stared at the jar of Wuhe ointment in front of him, his eyes filled with bewilderment and despair...
No matter how at a loss in Bai Yi's heart, Han Huai Jun will not stay in Songsheng Town because of her, and time will not stand still because of her alone...
Four days later, their team of chariots and horses arrived in the capital in a mighty manner.
The emperor specially sent a servant to greet him, and Baiyi personally handed over the box containing Wuhe ointment to the servant. After that, Han Huaijun and Wu Taiyi went to the palace with the servant to face the saint.
As for putting on clothes, as the side concubine of Prince Gong, she naturally returned to Prince Gong's mansion.
She absent-mindedly greeted Cui Yanyan, princess of the county, and was soon sent back to her yard.
She had just bathed and changed her clothes, and was about to rest for a while, when she heard a servant girl come to report: "The concubine who puts her clothes on, the concubine Bai is here."
The servant girl was a little frightened when she said that, Concubine Bai's belly is so big, and she still stays obediently in her own yard to raise the baby, isn't it harmful to come out and walk around? If Concubine Bai side bumped into each other here, they wouldn't be able to clean up even if they jumped into the Yellow River!
Bai Yi knew why Bai Muxiao came here, and ordered: "Take side concubine Bai to wait for me in Dongci."
The servant girl took the order and retreated, and asked Lorna to comb her a simple bra, and then went to Dongci Room.
Bai Muxiao, who was dressed in a blue dress, was sitting on an armchair, holding a cup of tea in her hand, but she didn't take a sip. Now that her childbirth is approaching, no matter how loose her dress is, she can't hide her bulging belly.
Bai Muxiao put down the teacup, and wanted to stand up to greet Bai Yi, but Bai Yi hurried forward, pushed her back to the seat, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiao'er, why should you be so polite? You are heavy, so don't be too polite to me." gone."
"Thank you Sister Baiyi for your understanding." Bai Muxiao didn't force herself any more, and thanked her kindly.
Bai Yi sat down on the armchair beside Bai Muxiao, with only a small coffee table between them.
After the maid served tea for Bai Yi, Bai Muxiao put down the teacup in her hand, and said straight to the point: "Sister Bai Yi, my sister is not polite to you anymore, I just want to ask my sister how the trip is going? Everything is going well." Is it going well?"
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Don't worry, I personally handed over the things to the prince today, and now they have been sent to the palace smoothly."
The prince is the emperor's man, and he will definitely present things directly to the emperor. Bai Muxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "My sister is worrying too much. My sister is always careful in doing things."
How could Bai Yi take such polite words to heart? She looked at Bai Muxiao with a smile and asked, "Sister Xiao'er, I'm not in the capital for a while, and I don't know what's going on in the palace. Can His Highness the Fifth Prince return?" Take Wuhe ointment on time?"
"Sister Baiyi, please don't worry." Bai Muxiao said with a smile, "The Fifth Prince can't do without it now."
The two looked at each other and smiled, showing each other a tacit smile.
Bai Muxiao felt relieved, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked casually, "Sister Baiyi, did you see my cousin Yue when you went to Nanjiang this time? She is in Nanjiang now How are you doing?"
Looking at Bai Muxiao's appearance, she seemed to be concerned about her cousin's recent situation, but Bai Yi knew that the two cousins had always been at odds, so how could Bai Muxiao really care about Nangong Yue!
Chang Yi sighed, and said as she wished: "Concubine Shizi looks pretty good now, but..."
Bai Yi purposely paused, and under Bai Muxiao's expectant gaze, he continued: "Look at her depleted look, I'm afraid she won't be able to conceive a child in the future... the future will be hard!" Bai Muxiao hooked ironically. The corners of his mouth curled up.
No matter how tightly guarded Zhennan Palace is, it will never guard against the girls in the Palace. I'm afraid that now Xiao Ni has long since fallen into the temptation of Wuhe Gao and is unable to extricate herself. Not to mention poisoning Nangong Yue, for Wuhe Gao, she would even sell her soul.
Suddenly, she shuddered, and couldn't help thinking that she herself was addicted to Wuhe ointment...
Bai Muxiao glanced at Bai Yi in surprise, not noticing her pale face at all, only the words that Bai Yi said just now were in her mind.
Nangong Yue can't have any children? ! Bai Muxiao lowered her eyes halfway, and a strange gleam flashed in her eyes, she knew very well that Bai Yi must have done something when he went to southern Xinjiang this time. However, this is not important, what is important is...
If Nangong Yue couldn't bear a child, would she still be able to secure the position of Shizi Concubine
Now that she and Xiao Yi are young couples, they naturally have a strong affection. When the years are old and the freshness is over, how can Xiao Yi, as the heir of Zhennan Prince, not take a concubine? Even if Xiao Yi doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, his subordinates will naturally send a lot of women to him. One can imagine that Xiao Yi's backyard will be full of flowers in the future!
Nangong Yue couldn't give birth, so she couldn't let others live, right
Besides, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion can't have no successors!
Poor, there must be many concubines and concubines who will come to her and call her aunt, but she can only force a smile, and in the end, she will have to live with the faces of the concubines and those concubines and aunts!
Bai Muxiao sighed faintly, and gently stroked her swollen belly.
Men love the new and dislike the old, and children are a woman's greatest reliance.
The movements of her hands paused slightly, and her brows frowned. At that moment, she felt a faint pain in her stomach.
In the past two days, she didn't know what happened. She felt abdominal pain several times a day, but it disappeared in a flash.
She also asked a good doctor in the mansion to check her pulse, but the good doctor only said that everything was normal... Shouldn't Han Lingfu invite an imperial doctor to take a look for her
Bai Muxiao was thinking about it, when Bai Yi spoke again, and said in a dull voice: "Sister Xiao'er, I want to see His Highness Kui Lang, can you tell the prince to help arrange it?"
Bai Muyou withdrew her thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "Sister Baiyi, don't worry, my sister will definitely tell the prince to arrange for you to meet the third son-in-law as soon as possible." As she spoke, she supported her back with Bihen's help Standing up, "Sister Baiyi, you just returned home today, and you must be tired after a long journey. My sister will go back first, so I won't disturb your rest."
Bai Muxiao left with Bihen's support.
Leaving her clothes in her clothes, she watched her leaving back, with unclear eyes...
His Highness Kui Lang would definitely ask her about her trip to Baiyue, should she tell him that she has become addicted to Wuhe ointment? Also... Although the transaction conditions proposed by Nangong Yue were agreed with the promise of His Highness the Sixth Highness, His Highness Kui Lang must be informed as soon as possible.
No matter what, His Highness the Sixth Highness said it was reasonable, even if this big piece of meat is cut off now, in the future, Xiao Yi will always be able to return the capital with interest.
It's just a small interest to make Nangong Yue unable to have a son.
…
"Ah Choo!"
Nangong Yue felt her nose itchy and sneezed lightly.
She subconsciously rubbed her nose, opened her eyes, and saw the cat Xiaobai lying beside her pillow, with a magnified cat face staring at her seriously, as if saying: Why are you still sleeping.
"Xiaobai." She couldn't help laughing, and raised her hand to rub its fluffy head.
"Bad cat, I just walked away, why did you come here to disturb Ayue to rest!" A slender hand suddenly reached out, and flicked Mao Xiaobai's forehead lightly.
"Meow—"
Xiao Bai let out a dissatisfied cry, jumped off the bed, landed on the ground without a sound, then swaggered away with his long tail.
Nangong Yue looked at its leaving back with a smile, feeling relaxed and peaceful.
She raised her eyes to meet Xiao Yi's twinkling peach blossom eyes, and smiled with crooked eyebrows.
"Ayi."
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, kissed her on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Smelly girl, are you hungry? I personally made porridge for you, do you want to drink?"
Nangong Yue's expression was a little subtle for a while, A Yi showed good intentions, of course she was happy, but the problem was A Yi's craftsmanship... She didn't know what to say.
Xiao Yi tapped her forehead with his index finger, and said with aggrieved face: "Stinky girl, I have tried the taste. Besides, An Niang said that I am very talented."
An Niang also said that when the stinky girl was sick when she was a child, she would always cook this porridge for her herself, and every time the stinky girl would eat it up.
During the speech, Xiao Yi had already carefully helped Nangong Yue up, took a big welcome pillow and put it on her back for her to lean on comfortably.
Xiao Yi shook the small brass bell beside the bed, Que'er brought in the warm porridge, and then retreated.
Nangong Yue looked at the steaming wolfberry, millet and pumpkin porridge in front of her. The sweet and familiar taste rose with the white air, tangling...
Just based on the appearance and smell, one can tell that Xiao Yi's porridge is well cooked.
Seeing Nangong Yue's expression, Xiao Yi knew that she was very pleasantly surprised. He was immediately very proud, as if he was saying that Xiao Yi wanted to learn cooking skills, could it be difficult to beat him? !
Xiao Yi scooped up a spoonful of porridge, tested the temperature, and put it into her mouth.
Nangong Yue swallowed it in one gulp, and the thick porridge warmed to the bottom of her heart. She smiled and narrowed her eyes.
After several mouthfuls in a row, at this moment, the door curtain was lifted from the outside, and Baihui walked in quietly, walked up to Xiao Yi, knelt down and said, "My lord, Steward Zhu sent someone to summon someone just now, saying that it was the Miss Gu is willing to recruit."
The corners of Xiao Yi's lips hooked slightly, revealing a half-smile.
He thought she would be tough, but it only lasted four days.
Xiao Yi nodded and waved her back.
It wasn't until Nangong Yue finished a bowl of porridge that he put down the bowl with a sense of accomplishment, and said with a smile, "I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back soon."
Nangong Yue smiled and nodded.
Xiao Yi kissed her lightly on the forehead, sighed resentfully, and walked away step by step.
Xiao Yi went to Qingyunwu first, called Shangguan Yubai, and then went to the dungeon of the palace together.
Two palace guards dressed in black were standing guard at the door of the dungeon. When they saw Xiao Yi approaching, they immediately opened the door of their own initiative.
Zhu Xing was waiting inside.
A damp and moldy smell came over the nostrils, and the dim oil lamp on the wall barely illuminated the way ahead. The two walked down the stone steps, with Zhu Xing leading the way...
"Master, Master Hou, people are inside."
In Zhu Xing's respectful voice, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai walked into a cold and damp dungeon one after the other.
A woman in blue was suspended in the air by a heavy chain with her arms wide open, her head drooping weakly, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, as if she was enduring great pain.
She was well dressed, and at first glance, there seemed to be no scars. However, her feet were soaked in a small four-foot-square pool from the position of her calf. The pool was a translucent yellow liquid, and the skin and flesh on her legs fell off mottled, bloody and even faintly You can see the thick bones in it, just looking at it makes people feel shocking.
Hearing the movement, she raised her head slightly with difficulty, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, her face was as pale as a corpse, her eyes were dim...
In the dim candlelight, two strange men walked slowly towards her. Both of them had outstanding temperament, one civilized and one military, one restrained and the other extroverted. Her eyes fell on the handsome but murderous man among them. Enter overflowing youth.
She knew that he must be Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, the son of Prince Zhennan nicknamed "Killing God"!
It was obvious that in front of her was the enemy who made her life worse than death at this moment, but her eyes did not fluctuate at all, as if she had lost the will to survive.
Her eyes were blurred, and she just murmured: "I said, I said... Please, let me die..."
With her inhuman appearance now, even if she could survive, it would be nothing more than death!
In the past few days, she has witnessed and felt her skin and flesh being corroded bit by bit. The bone-dissolving water is like tarsal maggots gnawing at her flesh and mind.
In the past, she thought that no matter what kind of pain and torture, she could not shake her loyalty to the Sixth Highness and Baiyue, and left and right were nothing more than death, but now she realized that "death" was actually a kind of relief.
Xiao Yi coldly looked at her from top to bottom, there was no trace of emotion on his handsome face, let alone any sympathy, and he said lightly: "If you want to say it, just say it."
His voice was clear and clear, and he sounded careless, as if he was in Taoism, but in Miss Gu's ears, she felt like a urging talisman from the king of Hades, a biting coldness spread rapidly in her heart...
