When Zong Zixiao arrived, he saw the yellow talisman on the Xuan window at a glance. He tore off the talisman, jumped in from the window, and shouted anxiously: "Brother?!"
There was a muffled panting from the corner.
There was still a scent of flowers in the house, Zong Zixiao held his breath and walked over cautiously.
Through the hazy moonlight, Zong Zixiao saw a group of disheveled soft white curled up in a corner, the white clothes were indistinguishable from the white skin, the night was so dark, he was so bright and clean, as if he had absorbed all the light in the world. Look up at the moon in the sky, the new moon is like a hook, and look down at the people on the ground, the beauty is lingering, like a pair of beautiful couplets, hanging between the sky and the earth, the banner reads - Qinghui Pavilion Appreciation of Qinghui.
Zong Zixiao only felt that his heart was like a galloping horse, running wildly without stopping. After many years, he was sure that it was at this moment that he realized that his feelings for Zong Ziheng were extraordinary.
Zong Zixiao came back to his senses, and hurriedly helped Zong Ziheng up: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't...don't smell..." Zong Ziheng's eyes were blurred, his face was flushed, sweat was soaked through his clothes, most of his chest was exposed, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
Zong Zixiao's Adam's apple had just grown out, and he slid down his skin like a bean. He forced himself to look away from Zong Zi Heng's jade-like chest, and gathered up the messy clothes: "Brother, what the hell are you doing?" Are you poisoned?"
"Take me out, quick."
Zong Zixiao picked up Zong Ziheng on his back, and jumped out of the window neatly. As soon as the cold wind blew, Zong Ziheng suddenly woke up a little bit.
"Brother, what poison did you suffer from? Is it the scent?" Zong Zixiao had a slight guess in his heart. Even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he had read the book after all.
"..." Zong Ziheng was ashamed to speak, not because love medicine is shameful, but because the person who prescribed the medicine was actually his mother!
"Brother?"
"Go in, get my clothes... cover Miss Hua, and bring her out."
"What? Hua, Huayu's heart is inside?" This completely confirmed his guess. Once the cause and effect were connected, Zong Zixiao understood everything. He said sharply, "Who did it, could it be..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, go quickly, don't bring other people here." Zong Ziheng pushed him anxiously.
Zong Zixiao was surprised to find that there were bloodstains on the ground. He opened Zong Ziheng's hand, and suddenly saw that the palm was bloody and bloody, and it was full of bloodstains from deep nails. He was frightened and angry, and his eyes were red.
"Hurry up!" Zong Ziheng urged hoarsely.
Zong Zixiao gritted his teeth, turned and left.
Zong Ziheng fell on his back in disregard of his dignity, letting his hot body touch the cold ground as much as possible to relieve the pain. He stepped up his spiritual power to expel the medicine, if he hadn't been resisting all the time, a lot of the medicine would be released with sweat, and he didn't know what irreparable things he had done at this time.
All the suffering, humiliation, and anger are nothing compared to the pain of being calculated by his mother. He doesn't understand why his mother would do such a reckless and stupid thing!
There were footsteps and conversations in the distance, Zong Ziheng struggled to get up from the ground, thinking about how to deal with the aftermath of this matter.
At this time, Zong Zixiao came out with Hua Yuxin in his arms: "Brother, what should she do?"
Hearing the approaching voice, Zong Ziheng was completely devastated, but he knew that he could not keep Hua Yuxin here, nor could he send it back casually, so he gritted his teeth: "Yu Jian leaves the palace."
Imperial swords are not allowed in the entire Daming City, but recently the city is full of foreign guests, who forget the rules and fly around in the sky every day. , So the two of them flew out of Wuji Palace smoothly with Hua Yuxin, and went to a carriage station outside the city, where they agreed to meet Xu Zhinan and Qi Mengsheng.
Zong Ziheng was half an hour late, but seeing the three of them running in in a panic, Xu Zhinan and Qi Mengsheng became nervous.
"Ziheng, what's the matter with you, but what danger are you encountering?"
Zong Ziheng waved his hand, and was helped by Zong Zixiao to sit on the chair, took the tea on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone in the room looked at him, and at Hua Yuxin, who was unconscious, messy, and tightly wrapped up.
Zong Ziheng wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and said in a daze: "Speaking of this matter, it is really... shameful."
Qi Mengsheng frowned coldly, and said bluntly: "Could it be that you did something to Miss Hua?"
Zong Zixiao's eyes boiled with murderous intent: "How could my elder brother do anything to her, stop talking nonsense!"
Qi Mengsheng said neither humble nor overbearing: "Then listen to His Highness's explanation."
Zong Ziheng took a deep breath: "I'll explain later, Messenger Feiling, please help Miss Hua force out the remaining medicinal properties in her body, and then tidy up for her."
Qi Mengsheng took a look at Hua Yuxin, and said to Xu Zhinan: "Go and ask the store to open two more guest rooms. Your Highness, you should also tidy up."
The store quickly prepared a bathtub and a new set of clothes for Zong Ziheng.
Zong Ziheng was weak and weak, trembling even when walking, but he insisted not to let Zong Zixiao help him bathe: "You hurry up, I can wash myself."
"I'm afraid you'll faint." Zong Zixiao said angrily, "Wouldn't it be a joke if the eldest prince of the famous Zong family drowned in the bathtub."
Zong Ziheng said loudly: "I said I'm fine, get out!" How could he let his younger brother see his embarrassing side.
Zong Zixiao snorted dissatisfiedly, slammed the door and left.
Only then did Zong Ziheng take off his clothes and climb into the tub. The embarrassing scene in his lower body made him extremely ashamed, but at this moment he was finally able to "clean up" himself by being alone. Surrounded by the quiet environment and warm water, his heart, which had been tense for half the night, relaxed a little. He leaned back against the rim of the barrel, closed his eyes, and calmed his restless restlessness.
What he didn't know was that Zong Zixiao didn't go far away, but through a door panel, he used spiritual power to enhance his hearing and listened to the movement inside.
Zong Zixiao was really afraid that Zong Ziheng would faint due to lack of energy, but when he heard a strange low moan coming from inside, he was stunned for a while, until he realized that his whole body was almost red from head to toe, and he felt guilty. With a scorching hot face, he quietly left—
"What did Concubine Shen do?!" Xu Zhinan was dumbfounded, and for a moment he didn't know how to evaluate it.
Zong Ziheng's face was very ugly, he lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized, I really can't help it, I hope you two will keep it a secret for me."
Qi Mengsheng snorted coldly: "I'm sorry."
Zong Ziheng's ears turned red, as if the phrase "low work" was directly stuck on his forehead, after all, as a man and a child, isn't it that we share weal and woe.
Zong Zixiao glared at Qi Mengsheng, but he actually agreed with her words in his heart.
He couldn't believe that Shen Shiyao would do such a stupid thing. When he was young, he also liked Concubine Shen very much. He thought she was gentle and beautiful, just like his elder brother. When he grew up, he saw Shen Shiyao's fear of his cultivation. , although not as close as before, but he still loves Wujiwu. But what happened tonight almost destroyed his respect and love for Shen Shiyao.
She actually used such indecent means to plot against her son and an innocent girl? When he thought about what he would have done if he hadn't arrived in time, Zong Ziheng would lose control under the influence of the medicine, and he would never forgive Shen Shiyao for the rest of his life.
"My mother hopes that I can marry the Huaying faction." Zong Ziheng supported his forehead, his temples throbbed with pain, "but I never thought that she would do such a ridiculous thing."
"So, when she saw that the empress wanted Miss Hua to be her daughter-in-law, she took the risk and wanted to cook the raw rice." Xu Zhinan sighed, "It's really... ridiculous." Since it was Zongzi Heng's Mother, he couldn't say the bad words, he could only sigh.
Qi Mengsheng said: "Your Highness is able to stick to something, and you are worthy of being a modest gentleman. It's just that we believe in Your Highness, and outsiders may not believe it. When Miss Hua wakes up, how can I explain it to her?"
Zong Ziheng said hoarsely: "I don't know."
Xu Zhinan said softly: "Ziheng, if Miss Hua knows the truth and refuses to forgive, the Zong family must give an explanation to the Huaying faction if the matter becomes serious. At that time, not only will your reputation and Concubine Shen's reputation be ruined, but you will also be punished." receive punishment."
"… I know."
"But how can this be done?"
"How Miss Hua appeared in Qinghui Pavilion, do you know?"
Zong Ziheng shook his head again.
Xu Zhinan analyzed: "I think she was probably invited by Concubine Shen. If she was taken away, let alone whether Concubine Shen has this ability, the Huaying faction would have been in chaos by then, so it is impossible not to come Find her."
"It makes sense, but even if she was invited to Qinghui Pavilion by Concubine Shen, if she doesn't go back at this hour, her brother should be worried." Qi Mengsheng said.
"So the top priority is to send the person back as soon as possible. If Hua Juncheng makes trouble in the Wuji Palace at this time, everyone will know about it."
Zong Zixiao held his sword and paced back and forth in the room. Worried about Zong Ziheng's reputation and safety, he couldn't calm down and think at all.
The eldest son Heng was also at a loss, how could he not only cover up his mother's mistakes, but also make Hua Yu forgive him.
Xu Zhinan thought for a while: "I have a plan."
"Then tell me quickly." Qi Mengsheng urged angrily.
Everyone knows that Xu Zhinan is extremely intelligent. If he only has a high level of cultivation, he may not be able to lead a big sect. The aloof geniuses with a high level of cultivation but an intolerant temper are gone. Xu Zhinan was appointed as the next head at a young age. Nature has too many advantages.
So when he said there was a trick, it must really be a trick.
Xu Zhinan said: "I just smelled that besides the love medicine, Miss Hua also smelled of alcohol. Did she drink alcohol?"
"I drank at the dinner party, and I don't know how much she drank."
"We can set up a game to make her think that she was almost killed and we saved her, so that we can kill two birds with one stone."
"Where did the two eagles come from?" Zong Zixiao asked puzzled.
Xu Zhinan said coldly: "Yan Shu, use Miss Hua a little and lead him into a trap."
