Chapter 169 Huangfu Chengyu cannot die!

Jian Yue sometimes admires these people. They just say things that make people want to die.

He looked up at the sky and realized deeply that it is better to rely on oneself than on others.

"Brother, it's not that I'm anxious." He said, "It's just that if something happens to His Majesty, won't we who are doing this be implicated as well?"

That person had an expression that said, "You don't understand anything."

The bearded man said, "Don't worry. Everyone in the court knows that the Imperial Master and the Queen Mother are the real rulers. To be honest, even if your Majesty unfortunately dies of illness, what's wrong with the Queen Mother adopting a child from the royal family to be the new emperor? What's more, everyone knows that your Majesty is..."

Jane pricked up her ears.

As a result! At such a critical moment! The person in front of him didn't say anything! He looked like this was a different price!

Jian Yue endured it, reluctantly gave him some of the small amount of money he had just received and said, "Thank you for your reminder, brother. This is a small gift from me."

The bearded man weighed it for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing to mention. Your Majesty's life experience is not something you and I can discuss, but you need to remember who we really serve. This is the rule of survival in the palace!"

Jian Yue: “…”

You can’t discuss what you take my money for!

Seeing him smile, Jian Yue also smiled. He reached out to take the silver back and said, "Since it is inconvenient for you to discuss it, I can understand..."

"Hey, hey, hey..." The bearded man quickly took the silver back and stuffed it into his pocket, saying, "It's not that inconvenient. I think you are one of us, brother. Let me tell you, His Majesty is not the Queen Mother's biological son. I heard that he was born to a deceased concubine. That concubine is said to be a descendant of the Xue family. As for the details, I don't know."

Xue family.

Jian Yue captured the key words.

The emperor is actually a descendant of the Xue family!

The news he knew so far was that the Xue family was exterminated, and because of their heavy sins, they were punished by heaven and cursed. That was why the imperial master and others said this about the emperor? As an emperor, there was actually a curse on him. How could the people and court officials discuss it in private? Even the guards dared to look down on him behind his back. How difficult was Huangfu Chengyu's life!

People in the palace all said that he had an unpredictable temperament and was extremely cruel.

Now that I think about it, if I didn’t have this kind of temper, I would have been bullied to the point where nothing would be left of me.

The system panel popped up: "The progress of the main quest [The truth about the Xue family] has increased by 8%. Please continue to work hard."

There is progress again.

Maybe after I find the flower, this progress will increase further. After all, it has reached double digits and I am no longer a pauper in the single digits!

Jian Yue said: "Thank you brother for telling me this. I understand the reasoning. So are we really not going to look for flowers?"

The bearded man had a look on his face that said, "You are really stubborn. Don't worry about this matter. We will find it when the time comes."

Jian Yue wondered if there was something behind this. What did it mean to find it naturally when it was time to find it? It was as if he had already known where the flower was, confident and calm.

"Boom"

There was a loud thunder in the afternoon sky.

The bearded man said to Jian Yue, "It's going to rain, get ready to go!"

The leader not far away also said: "Don't stay under the tree any longer, follow me!"

The ancients were still wise. Jian Yue and the others were guards and they were wearing armor, making them even easier targets to be struck by lightning. Although he still wanted to look for flowers, he didn't want to be unique and be targeted, so they all got up and followed the people in front of them to the cave to take shelter from the rain. To be honest, this group of people were really not in a hurry. They had already hidden in the cave even though it hadn't rained yet.

There were even guards who went out to hunt some wild game and brought it in to barbecue.

Jian Yue sat by the stone wall, holding his belly and thinking to himself. He must find the herbs before dark, otherwise his life would be in danger. But it was raining heavily outside and it was difficult to go out. How could he ensure his safety?

Think of this.

Jian Yue even felt a little sad.

Just at this moment, someone shouted from a distance: "Hey, new guy, come here!"

The people here have basically known each other for a long time. Most of them were sleeping lazily against the stone wall. The man who was roasting the game naturally called Jian Yue, who had just arrived. He was dressed differently from the others, and seemed to be the leader of the group, with a more burly figure.

Jian Yue walked over and said tactfully, "Boss, what's the matter?"

The head guard said, "Take it and roast it. When you are done, call the other brothers."

When they took the barbecue sticks, the two of them moved closer. Jian Yue's movements were stiff for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Okay, Boss, I will do my best! You and the brothers can take a rest first, leave this to me."

The head guard was satisfied with Jian Yue's approach and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Do a good job."

He turned around and went inside to rest, no longer paying attention to Jian Yue.

Jian Yue sat in the same place where he had just sat, roasting meat on the fire. Thunder roared not far away, and heavy rain began to pour down. He was savoring the scent he had just smelled, it was a floral fragrance. He was sure that his sense of smell and hearing had been better than that of ordinary people since he was a child, but the price was that his eyesight was very poor.

It was said that he was born blind when he was a child. His parents were unwilling to give him treatment and abandoned him at the entrance of the village. Later, he was picked up by a beggar on the roadside, who gave him some food. After discovering that he was a blind boy, the beggar did not despise him. Although Jian Yue could only see things vaguely when he was a child, his sense of smell and hearing were much better than ordinary people.

So even though the scent on the leader was very faint, he still smelled it the moment they passed each other. It was the fragrance of a flower, and this flower was not a common flower in the forest.

Maybe this group of people have found the flower!

No wonder there's no hurry.

Then why don’t you go back to the camp after finding the flowers, but instead waste time here?

Jian Yue's brain was working rapidly and his brows furrowed, realizing that things might not be that simple. The water in this palace might be much deeper than he had imagined, but the problem now was that he had to get the flower.

The audience in the live broadcast room discussed:

“The anchor is still smart.”

"He noticed it so quickly!"

"This sense of smell is a talent!"

"But to be honest, just smelling it is useless!"

“Yeah, it’s hard to find flowers.”

"I don't think this group of people can tell him."

Everyone was talking.

Jian Yue sat beside the fire and continued to roast the meat. He looked very calm and not anxious at all. The audience in the live broadcast room were a little more anxious than him.

After it was baked, Jian Yue shouted, "Brothers, it's baked."

He drew a knife from his waist, cut the meat and distributed it to everyone.

Language Greek

After taking a bite, several guards' eyes lit up and they praised: "It tastes really good. You have some cooking skills!"

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Actually, I made relatively little, maybe because I'm more talented. If you guys are willing to eat some, I'll make some for you when the rain stops."

The guards were hungry after a busy day. After hearing this, they nodded to show that they accepted it.

Jian Yue left a large piece for the head guard and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Boss. Please try it."

The head guard took it and took a bite. The meat was not dry at all. On the contrary, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It didn't even have a fishy smell. Jian Yue also found some coarse salt from somewhere to season it. It was delicious. He was more or less in a good mood towards Jian Yue: "You are not bad, don't be busy. Your face and hands are so choked up. Go wash them! Come over here and have a rest!"

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Thank you, Boss!"

You know, before, because he was new here, he could only stay on the outside to enjoy the fresh air, but now he can go into their inner circle to rest. It's true that a good skill can take you anywhere.

Jian Yue simply washed and came back. The sky gradually darkened and the visibility in the mountains became lower. From time to time, there were even cries and roars of unknown wild beasts. There was a damp smell of rain all around and the leaves were swaying in the wind, like monsters with bared fangs and claws ready to rush over and devour people at any time.

He sorted out the ideas in his mind.

The rain stopped after two hours, and no one dared to stay in the mountains for too long.

The chief guard said, "Let's go back and let the new team come in to replace us."

Everyone walked back.

When passing through the jungle, the mountain road became more difficult to walk on after the rain. Jian Yue walked through the woods. From here he could see the current situation of the entire camp. The emperor's tent was surrounded by three layers of guards and servants inside and outside. The other camps also showed a sense of oppression. On the surface, everyone here has only one master, but behind the scenes they may have countless masters.

After returning to the camp.

The chief guard said, "Rest here for a while. I'll have someone bring you some hot water."

He said that and left.

Jian Yue said to the bearded man beside him, "Brother, my stomach hurts a little. I'll go out and take care of it first."

The bearded man was busy eating. He waved his hand and said, "Disciples from noble families like you are troublesome."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "You are joking."

"Hey, why are you being so modest to me?" The bearded man pointed at Jian Yue and said, "I can tell from the way you walk. This kind of pace is the style of a young man from an official family. Don't think I don't know."

The son of an official family?

Wasn't the original owner a little eunuch?!

Jian Yue's heart was filled with emotion, and he thought to himself, "Brother, I really wasn't lying to you. I knew about this later than you did!"

However, at this time, Jian Yue was not in the mood to care whether there was any secret about the original owner's identity. He now had a more difficult task. Walking through the path, Jian Yue came to a hidden corner, and then released the bees in his wooden barrel. When delivering meat to the chief guard, he smeared honey on his body when he was not paying attention.

In the mountains, Jian Yue caught a guide bee. This kind of bee would look for that kind of tree honey. In the camp, only the captain of the guards had that kind of tree honey on him. He only needed to follow the bee to find the place he was going.

He must get the money to spend on the captain of the guard.

The bees were released from the wooden barrel and flew outside. Jian Yue followed. Since he was wearing a guard's uniform and his authority should be high, no one stopped him. He walked straight along the way. Jian Yue guessed countless possibilities in his mind. Who was instructing this captain guard?

result! !

I saw the chief guard enter the emperor's tent territory, and then! Enter the small tent where Zhao Zongguan was resting!

Jian Yue was shocked.

Manager Zhao is really arrogant even though his official position is so small. He even dares to murder the emperor. Are you going to keep the flowers for yourself after picking them?

He was thinking a lot, but luckily no one was paying attention to him, so he quietly went around to the side of the tent and listened to the voices coming from inside. He heard Manager Zhao say, "It's been delivered?"

The head guard said, "It has been delivered. When will it be used?"

Manager Zhao said sharply, "This is not something you should be concerned about."

The head of the guards was a little displeased that a eunuch could tell him what to do, but he still said, "You should be aware that when this curse strikes, it will torture people to death. What if that person can't bear it..."

Director Zhao said: "He dealt with so many people around him, so naturally he had to give some warnings."

Jian Yue was shocked when he heard this.

Did they mean that the emperor had dealt with many people around him, so Chief Steward Zhao and his men deliberately withheld the antidote, in order to demonstrate to the emperor? The Xue family was exterminated, but the child of the Xue family ascended the throne, but the power of the throne was hollowed out, and the chief eunuchs under his command could make things difficult for him. Who knows how many more open and secret attacks there were in secret?

The voices of the two people in the tent quickly disappeared, and they left one after another.

Jian Yue hid in the dark. It was now completely dark and his palms were covered with sweat. The time for the poison to take effect would soon be approaching and he had no time to hesitate.

After the people left.

Jian Yue crawled in from a corner of the tent. After flying around the tent, the little bee stopped in front of a drawer. It stopped on the drawer. On the outside of the drawer was a lock with a very complicated lock core.

Can't open.

Some of the new viewers in the live broadcast room were gloating:

"Oh, that's it."

"Even if I find it, I can't open it."

"If we demolish it forcefully, it will definitely attract attention from outside."

But the old viewers in the live broadcast room were much calmer, and there was even a sense of calm and peace as the old players looked at the new viewers.

really.

The audience saw Jian Yue took out a small hairpin from his waist. The hairpin was very thin and he asked Concubine Liu for it. Of course, he had to prepare more when traveling in the world. Jian Yue bent the delicate hairpin and began to try to unlock the lock. He fiddled with the lock core for a long time and no one could see how he did it.

"Pah"

The clear voice came to mind.

Jian Yue raised his eyebrows, put away the hairpin, and curled his lips. He learned this skill after he resigned from his job as a forensic doctor. In order to make a living, he did many side jobs, one of which was a small stall for making keys. He loved reading since he was a child, and in the process of learning how to make keys, he read a lot of knowledge about lock structures and lock picking. He just wanted to learn it out of boredom at the time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy!

The box was opened.

Jian Yue saw the flowers lying quietly inside.

Found it!

Jian Yue was so excited that she knew there was a cure for her poison!

When he happily picked up the flower and was about to eat it, he thought of the emperor lying on the sick bed. There was only one flower. If he ate it, would the emperor be gone?

But……

What if there is more than one?

Jian Yue's mind was turning rapidly. If there was more than one flower, he could take the flower to the emperor and then ask the emperor to issue an order to find another one for him.

Yes, that’s it!

After he made up his mind, he did not linger in this place any longer, but quickly left the tent and returned to a small private tent. Jian Yue threw away his armor and clothes and changed back into his eunuch clothes.

Concubine Liu left a palace maid to pick him up.

The maid asked, "Sir, do you want to go back to the clothing department?"

Jian Yue shook his head and said, "Miss, could you please inform the noble man and tell him that I want to serve you and see if he can come up with a solution?"

The maid didn't know what Jian Yue was going to do, but she still agreed, "Please wait a moment, eunuch."

In fact, the palace maid didn't like Jian Yue very much at the beginning, but when she knew that Jian Yue was willing to take care of the emperor for the life of her own nobleman, she began to respect him to some extent.

After a while.

The maid came back and said, "My dear, please come over."

Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He followed the palace maid to the emperor's main tent. The guards here were still very strict. From time to time, some strange voices were heard from inside. They were from the imperial teacher and some court officials, as well as the general manager Zhao who was not far away.

The Imperial Master said, "The Prime Minister has found all the herbs. We can set out tomorrow to expel the evil spirits from your Majesty's body and pray for your safety."

The prime minister replied, "Master, put it down. Everything is going smoothly. I'll have to trouble you this time."

The Imperial Master looked quite old. He stroked his beard and smiled, "Serving Daqian is what an old minister should do."

Chief Steward Zhao flattered him, saying, "The Imperial Master and Prime Minister have worked so hard for Daqian. It is really a blessing for Daqian. We, the servants, sincerely hope that Your Majesty can wake up soon."

Jian Yue thought to himself that if His Majesty hadn't had you guys serving him, he would have recovered from his illness long ago.

A few people not far away were still performing.

After Jian Yue waited for a while, Concubine Liu whispered, "Little Prince."

She didn't know when she sneaked in.

Jian Yue looked at her and said, "How is your Majesty?"

Lady Liu shook her head gently and said, "Not very good."

Jian Yue's heart sank a little. The people not far away were all in the tent outside. Jian Yue and Concubine Liu sneaked into the main tent. After they entered, they smelled a strong odor of medicine.

Concubine Liu said, "Your Majesty has been unconscious and has a high fever. People from the Imperial Hospital have been coming and going, but there is no effect."

Jian Yue thought of the small box in her arms. The real medicine was in her body.

"There will be a way." Jian Yue said, "Don't worry."

When the two men came closer, Concubine Liu was still wearing the mask, but Jian Yue was no longer wearing it. It was not that he didn't want to wear it, but there was no point in doing so. He was already poisoned, so why bother about it so much?

Lady Liu asked, "Have you found the antidote?"

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Found it."

Noble Lady Liu was overjoyed. Just as she was about to speak, a maid's voice came from outside: "Noble Lady, the Imperial Master wants you in for questioning."

After hearing this, Concubine Liu's face turned pale with fright. After all, the National Master was one of the more powerful and terrifying BOSSes in this copy. If she, a time-traveling woman, was found to have any abnormality, she would be dead.

Jian Yue said to her calmly, "If he dared to come openly, he wouldn't have been playing dirty tricks behind her back."

Lady Liu: “…”

yes! !

Who can tell the difference between you, the little prince, and a genius? !

"Then I'll go." Lady Liu said, "Take care of yourself."

Jian Yue nodded, and after Concubine Liu left, he looked at the man on the bed not far in front of him. His face became paler. Jian Yue slowly approached. He wanted to test the temperature of Huangfu Chengyu's forehead, so he put his palm down. It was indeed very hot. It seemed that the situation was not good.

When you take your hand back.

Those fair and slender wrists were suddenly grabbed by someone.

Jian Yue was shocked, and saw the unconscious man slowly opened his eyes. Jian Yue:?

Huangfu Chengyu looked at him with his dark and deep eyes, and the man said in a low and hoarse voice: "It's you."

Jian Yue said: "It's me, Your Majesty."

Huangfu Chengyu looked at the person in front of him calmly and slowly asked, "Is the poison resolved?"

Jian Yue said: "Not yet."

Huangfu Chengyu didn't seem surprised at all.

Jian Yue said, "But I found the flowers."

After these words fell, the man who had never looked at him straight in the eye almost instantly lowered his gaze. Huangfu Chengyu saw Jian Yue take out a box from his arms and said, "Here."

The box was opened and the flowers were seen inside.

Huangfu Chengyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why didn't you eat?"

Jian Yue said, "Because this is the medicine they found for His Majesty, of course I have to take it. Moreover, I want to ask where His Majesty got this flower. Can you give me one?"

He held out some hope.

The emperor seemed to have heard a joke. He looked at Jian Yue's expectant eyes and said slowly, "This flower only blooms once a season."

Jian Yue's heart finally died.

He has only a few lives left to wait for three or four months. By then, he might be lucky enough to have a flower grow on his head.

The emperor seemed to know his mind completely, and he curled his lips and said, "Don't you want to take medicine now?"

Jian Yue hesitated a little. Of course, his life was also very important. The moment he hesitated, the wind from outside blew the curtains. The emperor lowered his head and coughed lightly. The buttons on his pajama shirt loosened in the front row because of the coughing, revealing his strong shoulders and a little red birthmark on his collarbone, like a plum blossom dotted there, sexy and bewitching.

The moment he saw it, Jian Yue couldn't take his eyes away for some reason.

The next second, the coughing emperor lowered his head, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging with pain. The moment Jian Yue saw the blood, he felt his whole body stiffen. A severe sense of panic that he might lose something seemed to be shouting from the depths of his soul, causing his sanity to even go blank for a moment.

Huangfu Chengyu cannot die.

Nothing can happen to him.

Jian Yue didn't even have the time to ask if there were any other flowers like this on other hills, or if there were any other ways to detoxify, or if his poison was incurable, or if he would die tonight. He didn't have the time to think about all these. He just subconsciously took the flowers out of the box, and stuffed them into Huangfu Chengyu's mouth. He said, "Eat it quickly, it will be fine!"
