Chapter 64 She did a lot of bad things with the Queen

Shangguan Jue immediately stepped forward and protected her firmly behind him.

In the blink of an eye, he took out the long sword from his waist and started fighting with the man in black.

These masters were extremely skilled in martial arts, and Shangguan Jue could only barely resist them alone.

But now he still had to risk his life to protect Feng Xici, so he was inevitably at a disadvantage.

Cold sweat gradually seeped out of Shangguan Jue's forehead, and he soon became obviously exhausted.

Damn it! It seems that the secret guards he brought today have been dealt with by these men in black!

His eyes accidentally glanced at the cliff next to him, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Shangguan Jue turned around, held Feng Xici's little hand, and pulled her directly off the cliff.

He was very familiar with the mountain environment nearby. This cliff looked very high from above, but in fact there was also a gentle peak below, and the difference in elevation between the two was not that big.

There is also a spring below, so if you jump in you might still have a chance to survive.

Seeing the two people in front of them disappear, the men in black immediately stepped forward.

However, I could only see the clouds and mist below the cliff, and could not see the situation below clearly.

Finally had to give up.

At night, at the bottom of the cliff.

Feng Xici gradually regained consciousness and heard a voice in her ears.

The voice sounded anxious.

"Ci'er, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Xici slowly opened her eyes, and saw an extremely handsome face in her sight.

Shangguan Jue was looking at her nervously.

Feng Xici curled her lips and said in a dry and hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

Shangguan Jue quickly handed her the wild fruits he had picked.

"Eat something. There are no wild animals around here. There are only some berries to eat."

Feng Xici blinked and asked, "Are we at the bottom of the cliff now?"

Her once cold eyes and brows were now filled with a mist of confusion, like a deer in the woods.

Shangguan Jue was distracted for a moment, and it took him a long time to react.

He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, yes, we are at the bottom of the cliff now."

"We just happened to fall into a pool of water, and I used my inner strength to protect us, so we're fine..."

Feng Xici hummed, lowered her head and started eating berries.

She is really hungry now.

Feng Xici ate the berries in small bites.

Shangguan Jue thought she was cute and turned to look at her from time to time.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Palace.

Shangguan Sui drank the sweet soup happily.

Seeing her beaming smile, Shangguan Lin's appetite also improved.

But after just a few sips, he couldn't help but put down the spoon and sighed softly.

Concubine Chen asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Sui spoke at this time.

"Dad, didn't you find any evidence?"

[I've said it before, the Queen is very cautious, it's hard to find any evidence against her.]

[It's so sad. The Queen Mother is now seriously ill. We know who the real murderer is, but we can't bring him to justice...]

The concubine Chen was shocked.

It turns out that it was the Queen Mother who poisoned the Queen Mother!

Oh my god!

Shangguan Lin nodded, "Indeed, nothing was found."

Today the Queen went to Baohua Palace to pray for blessings, and he took the opportunity to send secret guards to search Yifeng Palace.

But nothing was found.

There was not even a trace of the lacquer grass.

Shangguan Sui shook his little head.

"Since we can't find anything, we might as well start with people."

Shangguan Sui and Chen Fei pricked up their ears at the same time.

"The Queen's personal maid is called Xinlan. She has done a lot of bad things with the Queen."

"But in fact, her character is very weak. You can try to break through her."

[This Xinlan is not only weak, but also not very loyal to the queen. ]

[In the original book, she directly chose to betray the Queen and sided with Concubine Xian.]

[Xinlan's mother was also in the capital, and she was seriously ill. Xinlan spent almost all of her monthly salary on her mother's medical treatment.]

The concubine lowered her eyes and quickly came up with a plan in her mind.

She pursed her lips and said, "Why not let me handle this matter?"

Shangguan Lin was a little surprised.

"Really, mother?" Shangguan Sui couldn't help but look up at her.

The Concubine Chen nodded with a smile.

"I have assisted in managing the six palaces for a period of time before, so I am relatively familiar with the affairs of the ladies in the harem."

Shangguan Lin naturally had no objection.

He had great faith in Concubine Chen's ability to get things done.

He nodded, "Then I'll leave this matter to you."

The Concubine Chen nodded.

At this moment, Eunuch Chen, who was originally outside the hall, suddenly ran in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! The eldest prince has fallen off a cliff!"

Shangguan stood up slowly.

"What?! Explain clearly! Quick!"

Eunuch Chen's forehead was covered in cold sweat and he was running breathlessly.

"Today, the eldest prince went to Jinshan Temple, and Miss Feng was also there. The two of them were talking in the back hills, and a young monk saw a group of men in black taking the opportunity to attack them."

"The eldest prince was unable to defeat the enemy, so he jumped off the cliff with Miss Feng, and their lives were in jeopardy..."

Shangguan Sui's eyes were already red at this time.

[Ahhhh no! Big brother and sister Feng please don’t get into any trouble! ]

Shangguan Lin's face was gloomy and he immediately gave the order.

"All the soldiers of the Yulin Army, come and find me! The whole city is sealed off! I want to see who dares to harm the prince!"

The next day, at the bottom of the cliff.

Shangguan Jue carried Feng Xici on his back and walked in the woods.

Every step they took left two drops of blood behind them.

Shangguan Jue's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his heart was pounding like a drum.

This was the first time in all these years that he felt a deep sense of panic...

When he woke up this morning, he found that Ci'er had suddenly developed a high fever.

She felt so dizzy that she couldn't even speak.

He wanted to pick her up, but found his hands were covered in blood.

He then discovered.

It turns out that Ci'er's right leg was cut when he fell off the cliff yesterday...

No wonder she was so confused last night...

No wonder I fell asleep after chatting with him for a while...

Shangguan Jue left a footprint with every step, his eyes filled with tears.

She can't be in trouble...

Nothing must happen to her...

He had to find the village as soon as possible, he had to find someone to save her...

In this way, Shangguan Jue carried Feng Xici on his back from dawn to dusk.

When he was about to faint from exhaustion, he saw the smoke rising into the sky.

Shangguan Jue, carrying Feng Xici on his back, fainted at the entrance of the village.

When the villagers saw them, they put down their work and gathered around them.

"Who are they? They look so well dressed."

"She seems to be sick. Look at the girl's legs..."

"Don't just stand there, go call Doctor Zhang over! It's urgent to save him!"

When Shangguan Jue woke up again, he found himself in a farmhouse.

The house is a very simple mud-walled house with only some simple wooden furniture in the room.

The house smelled strongly of herbs.

He stood up and immediately saw Feng Xici sitting on the couch opposite him.

Shangguan Jue quickly got out of bed and walked closer.

I reached out and touched her forehead and found that her fever had subsided.

At this moment, there was a sound of a door being pushed open behind him.

An old man in plain clothes walked in, his hair was already gray.

There is just a big black mole between the eyebrows.

Doctor Zhang saw him and said, "Don't worry, I have bandaged her leg. She will be fine after a few days of rest."

Shangguan Jue immediately bowed.

"May I ask your name? I want to thank you for saving my life!"

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant and a piece of gold from his arms and wanted to pass them over.

The old man shook his head and stepped back.

"My last name is Zhang, and everyone calls me Doctor Zhang."

"I never charge for my medical services. You don't have to give me any money. I am here to atone my sins."

Shangguan Jue was a little confused.

Doctor Zhang sighed and said slowly, "Many years ago, I did something wrong. I hope to do something good to make up for my mistake."

"It doesn't help, but at least it makes me feel better."

Shangguan Jue was about to say something else.

At this moment, there was a very noisy noise suddenly coming from outside the door.

"Where is the eldest prince?"

"It's right here, follow me."
