Chapter 168 How many surprises are there that I don't know about?
Jian Yue looked at Huangfu Chengyu stiffly, and his heart, which had just been relieved, was finally hanging again.
I thought I had sent away two people who wanted to take my life, but I didn't expect that the real King of Hell was behind me. Didn't the emperor faint? When did he wake up? He woke up. He must have heard so many of my fierce words just now. He shouldn't have heard them, right? !
Jian Yue subconsciously lowered his head, trying to continue to cover up his mistake, and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Huangfu Chengyu's voice was very low, but it sounded very clear. He called out, "Lady Liu."
This inexplicable shout shocked Jian Yue all over.
She was shouting so calmly, but Jian Yue felt like she was asking for her life! !
Jian Yue subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, I am here."
Huangfu Chengyu smiled, which was a bit cold, and said, "What happened just now?"
Jian Yue was a little unsure of what the emperor meant by asking this. If he heard it, then he didn't need to ask himself. If he didn't hear it, then how should he answer? If he lied, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor and he should be beheaded. If he answered honestly... pretending to be a concubine to deceive the emperor didn't seem to be much better in comparison! !
"Noble Yin came just now." Jian Yue compromised and answered: "Noble Yin is very worried about your Majesty's health."
"Oh?" Huangfu Chengyu said calmly, "Really?"
Jane lowered her head even lower. She couldn't see him, couldn't see him, couldn't see him...
As a result, that sharp gaze still fell on him on time, Huangfu Chengyu said: "Then where is she?"
Jian Yue: "Noble Lady Yin said that His Majesty needs to rest and it would be easy to disturb His Majesty's rest here, so she went back first. She asked me to wait on His Majesty here and send someone to summon her when His Majesty wakes up."
Huangfu Chengyu asked, "Should we summon her to see if I am dead or not?"
Jian Yue: “…”
Your Majesty, I cannot accept what you said!
Are you really that good at chatting? ! !
"Lady Liu." Huangfu Chengyu's voice was still a little weak, but even though it fell so lightly, it still brought a strong sense of oppression when it sprinkled on people. After all, this man was a ruthless character who could make people's lives worry with just a simple move.
Jian Yue asked quickly: "Your Majesty?"
Huangfu Chengyu asked: "Are you hot?"
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was wiping his sweat. He said, "I saw that His Majesty had woken up, and I was so happy and excited that I was like this."
Huangfu Chengyu was silent for a moment.
The room suddenly became quiet.
The more he spoke, the more nervous Jane became. The more he didn't speak, the more she sweated. What did he mean? If you want to kill me, just give me a word! !
"Really?" Huangfu Chengyu finally said, "If you are so happy, why don't you come in and kneel where you are?"
Jian Yue was stunned. He didn't expect the emperor to say this. Did he believe him?
The result was not enough to be happy.
Huangfu Chengyu changed the subject and lowered his voice: "Could it be that you are deceiving me?"
Jian Yue felt a chill on his back, and then his neck. At the same time, the system panel popped up: "It is detected that the main male protagonist's mood has dropped. The current safety value has dropped to 20%. Please pay attention!"
Depend on!
If you disagree, your health will be deducted!!
Jian Yue was originally afraid that he would be discovered by the male protagonist if he went over, so he decided not to go over. However, his health points were reduced, and he would die anyway if he didn't go over. Why was he still hesitating?
Think about this.
Jian Yue quickly got up and lifted the curtain and went in. The hairpins and step-shakes on his head made crisp sounds as he moved. The gauze curtain was lifted, and light came in as he moved. The first thing Huangfu Chengyu saw was a pair of dark and cool eyes, which reflected his own figure clearly. They were so clean that he seemed like some innocent little animal. It felt a little scared and helpless when it saw the threatening beast, but it still had to bite the bullet and break into the beast's territory for the sake of survival.
"Your Majesty," he called and walked closer.
The thin moon-shadow gauze swayed like flowing light with her steps. Perhaps she was not used to wearing such a long skirt, so she walked much slower. When he got closer, a faint fragrance of green bamboo came over. This was not any kind of incense available in the palace. Huangfu Chengyu was originally in a very bad mood because of the pain caused by the poison, but this fragrance had an inexplicable soothing effect, and he felt inexplicably relieved and calmed down.
So the murderous intent in his eyes eased a little.
He changed his mind.
Huangfu Chengyu said: "Come here."
Jian Yue complained bitterly in his heart, and cursed the system for giving him the task of timely assistance eight hundred times in his heart. Then he walked over honestly and said, "Your Majesty."
Can’t see me…can’t see me…can’t see me…
Huangfu Chengyu said, "Lady Liu."
Jian Yue: “Hmm?”
Huangfu Chengyu said: "If you are so worried about me, why don't you look up? Could it be that you dislike the curse on me and are worried that I will pass it on to you?"
Jian Yue raised her head quickly and said firmly, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention!"
As soon as he raised his head, he met Huangfu Chengyu's eyes.
Huangfu Chengyu narrowed his eyes. The man sitting on the bed had his hair tied up with the simplest golden crown. His facial features were handsome and straight, with sword-like eyes and star-like brows. Maybe because he was sick, his face looked a little paler, but this only made him look more evil. His dark and deep eyes reflected his own figure. Jian Yue saw himself with gauze on his face in his eyes.
Everyone who takes care of the emperor here has to wear gauze on their face. The gauze is thick and large, and almost everyone's face is covered completely. Concubine Liu also outlined her eyebrows and eyes. The emperor rarely sees her, and her voice has changed. Logically, he may not be able to recognize her.
But Huangfu Chengyu smiled, with a hint of indifference and a lot of nonchalance, and said: "Besides the incident in the Imperial Garden and the Palace Road, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Jian Yue was stunned.
Then, he quickly realized that the emperor recognized him with just one glance!
This was even more terrifying than recognizing that he was not Concubine Liu. After all, the Emperor had seen Concubine Liu several times, but he had only seen her twice, and each time from such a distance! !
Jian Yue's desire to survive made him subconsciously want to get up and escape, but the next second he was pinched by Huangfu Chengyu's chin. The man easily restrained him. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his fingertips brushed across Jian Yue's round and white chin: "If you dare to move here again, you won't have to move again in the future."
Jian Yue: “…”
Your Majesty, I warn you, if you scare us to pee here, it will not be good for either of us!
He complained in his mind but didn't dare to move.
After all, others might be joking, but the look in his eyes as the biggest boss definitely shows that he is a man of his words!
Now Jian Yue believed what Concubine Liu said. Huangfu Chengyu was definitely a pervert. How could such a person fall in love with anyone? It was good enough that he didn't kill anyone!
"Your Majesty..." Jian Yue said hurriedly: "Listen to me, no, explain!"
Huangfu Chengyu raised his eyebrows. After wiping Jian Yue's chin, he seemed to feel that it felt good, so he rubbed it again. Although he did not speak, he glanced at him lightly, silently signaling Jian Yue to continue.
Jian Yue said: "I didn't mean to deceive Your Majesty. It's just that the security here is very strict. I was sent here to take care of Your Majesty. I have been grateful for Your Majesty's kindness before, and I only regret that I can't repay you a little, so I resorted to this desperate measure this time!"
Huangfu Chengyu said "Oh".
You can't tell whether he's happy or angry.
Just as Jian Yue was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him say, "Isn't it because Concubine Liu sent you to die in her place?"
"Absolutely not!" Jian Yue thought to himself that this was not tragic. He was here to help the heroine in time of need, but he couldn't let these two people have any grudges. He said, "Noble Lady Liu is also very worried about Your Majesty. She is not here because she is looking through medical books. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check. Noble Lady's desk is full of medical books, all for Your Majesty's health."
After saying this, Jian Yue even wanted to give himself a thumbs up!
Lady Liu, he will sit in the main seat when you and the emperor get married!
Huangfu Chengyu raised his eyebrows and said, "So, I misunderstood you?"
Jian Yue smiled awkwardly. He felt that the hand the emperor placed on his chin was like a piece of his property. It was just a caress at this moment, but it might strangle his neck in the next second. He whispered, "Of course, of course, your Majesty's heart is clear to all!"
Huangfu Chengyu said: "Is that so."
Jian Yue thought he was going to get angry again the next second.
Huangfu Chengyu withdrew his hand, and the next second, Jian Yue saw that the man lowered his head for only a moment, the blue veins on his hands bulged, the black texture seemed to be darker, and a trace of bright red blood slid down from the corner of the emperor's mouth.
Jian Yue's eyes widened: "Your Majesty!"
He almost subconsciously reached out to catch the blood, and with heartache he used his hand to smooth his back to relieve his spine which was shaking from the severe pain.
When he saw Huangfu Chengyu's appearance just now, he thought he was well.
Huangfu Chengyu raised his eyes, but met Jian Yue's anxious gaze. The worry and impatience in that gaze could not be disguised. He had not seen anyone looking at him like this for a long time. Most people seemed to be worried about him on the surface, but there was a devouring poison hidden in their eyes.
"I'll go call the imperial physician." Jian Yue said.
Huangfu Chengyu wiped off the blood and said calmly: "If the imperial physician had been useful, I would not be lying here."
Jian Yue paused.
What's the meaning?
What does the emperor know?
Huangfu Chengyu raised his eyelids to look at him. The man's face was still pale, but his eyes were full of smiles. Combined with the blood at the corners of his mouth, he looked crazy. He said slowly, "Are you scared?"
Jian Yue gritted his teeth and said, “Not bad.”
"Oh." Huangfu Chengyu said, "That's good. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it after you knew that you were also poisoned."
Jian Yue subconsciously said: "This is nothing...what?!!"
His eyes widened.
The audience in the live broadcast room finally waited for him to react and laughed when they saw this reaction:
"Ahahaha, little prince, you finally reacted."
"I am the first person to be poisoned!"
"Aren't you afraid? You won't be happy if you are really poisoned!"
Jian Yue was sweating profusely. He asked tentatively, "How could I be poisoned? Could it be because..."
Because he swallowed a drop of the emperor's blood?
Wasn't the emperor in a coma at the time? Did you know all this?!
Huangfu Chengyu raised his eyebrows: "That's the reason."
Jian Yue: “…”
If God could give him another chance to start over, he would pay the highest respect to Concubine Liu. The heroine's job is really a high-risk one. He could be reincarnated after just this morning.
Almost just thinking this.
Jian Yue felt a pain coming from his lower abdomen. The feeling seemed to come from his internal organs, like a needle prick. The pain was not severe, but a slow one that spread all over his limbs. It was a dull pain that made it impossible to scream out, but was enough to torture him.
"Your Majesty." Jian Yue wanted to struggle again: "Do you think there is still hope for me to be saved?"
Huangfu Chengyu said: "Little Prince, you are a good servant."
Jian Yue's eyes lit up with joy.
Huangfu Chengyu said slowly: "I will bury you with honor."
Jian Yue: “…”
He wanted to struggle a little longer.
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you! Even Chief Steward Zhao and the others dare not serve you closely, but I dare. Are you just going to watch me die? Then what is the friendship between us in the Imperial Garden and the Palace Road?"
Huangfu Chengyu glanced at him calmly: "It's your bad luck."
Jian Yue: “…”
Damn capitalism!!
When I was secretly complaining in my heart.
Huangfu Chengyu said, "But you are indeed quite loyal. For this reason, I can tell you that the name of this cursed poison is Ten Thousand Poison Condensation. When the poisoned person attacks, the poison will slowly corrode the seven orifices and bleed to death. Only the Praying Flower can cure it. This time when we went to pray for blessings, we passed by this Xuan Mountain. There is this flower, but this flower usually blooms on cliffs and is extremely rare. If you are lucky, you may be able to encounter it."
Jian Yue finally understood that this trip was not for praying, but for detoxifying the emperor.
He said that the male protagonist would not have a terminal illness.
And I was injured completely by mistake!!!
Jian Yue asked: "What does this flower look like?"
"I don't know." Huangfu Chengyu said calmly: "No one has seen it."
Jian Yue: “…”
What’s the difference between this and having no antidote?
There was even a hint of despair on his face.
Huangfu Chengyu said: "This flower only blooms during the day and disappears at night. You only have one day."
Jian Yue was shocked. After he came to his senses, he didn't waste any more time and immediately said, "I'll go find it right away."
After walking a few steps, Jian Yue came back.
Jian Yue looked at Huangfu Chengyu and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Manager Zhao and the others... please be more cautious."
If he really can't come back this time, his love for the male protagonist can go a little further. Although the emperor was not very good to him, he was poisoned by himself. The emperor did not chop off his head for the crime of deceiving the emperor, but instead told him the way to detoxify. It was very kind. The eunuch's life was worthless, and the emperor could have killed him with a wave of his hand, but he didn't.
The lives of the servants were worthless, but at least Huangfu Chengyu did not regard his own life as a weed that could be easily pulled out. Just based on this point, Jian Yue felt that maybe he was not as cruel and merciless as the rumors said.
So he was willing to give something back.
Even if Huangfu Chengyu had known about this matter for a long time, whether he knew it or not was his own business, and whether he did it or not was his own business.
Huangfu Chengyu looked at the figure leaving and slowly curled his lips: "Interesting."
*
Jian Yue ran out of the room and ran all the way.
Lady Liu was still flipping through a book when she saw Jian Yue coming in from outside. As soon as he came in, he started to pull out his hairpin. His movements were quick and there was not a limb missing from his body.
"Little Prince!" Lady Liu said in surprise, "You succeeded?"
Jian Yue nodded: "Yeah."
Lady Liu asked, "Where is the success?"
Jian Yue rolled his eyes and said, "I succeeded in getting myself involved."
Lady Liu: “…”
Some success, but not much.
After Jian Yue went behind the screen and changed back into his eunuch clothes, he walked up to Concubine Liu and said, "Give me your medical book on detoxification. I want to see it."
As Concubine Liu handed it to him, she said, "You need to detoxify the emperor."
Jian Yue said: "Look at what you said. Everyone is equal. Can't I also solve the problem for myself?"
Lady Liu’s brain seemed to freeze for a moment:?
Jian Yue began to flip through the book. Although he could not understand any of the words in the book, Jian Yue felt that since there was a flower, if the book had a method to detoxify, then the pattern of that flower must be in the book. He only needed to look for it according to the picture of the pattern.
He flipped through the pages for a long time.
Finally found a flower-like pattern in a gap in the pages of this book!
Jian Yue said: "This is it."
Lady Liu looked over and said, "What is this?"
"It may be the wishing flower that Your Majesty mentioned." Jian Yue briefly described what happened in the tent. He said, "The current situation is that if I can't find this flower, I may not be able to see the moon at night."
Concubine Liu was horrified when she heard this. She immediately said, "It's all my fault that you got into trouble. Let me help you find it."
Jian Yue nodded. It was good to have more helpers at this time. Of course, the most important thing was that without Concubine Liu, he would not be able to leave the camp easily and would be required to return to the Clothing Bureau immediately. Now that he was in the big tent area in the front, the people from the Clothing Bureau could not control him. Since they were not in the same range, he was more free.
Lady Liu was a little worried: "But where can I find these flowers? This mountain is so big."
Jian Yue was also in a dilemma. What's more, the mountain was on a cliff. It would be great if there was a card that could sense the location of things by looking at the pattern. He didn't know when he would encounter it.
"We can't just go to the mountain to look for it." Jian Yue still had some experience. He said, "First, we are not familiar with the terrain of the mountain. Second, there are only two of us, and we don't have enough manpower. The mountain is so big, and looking for it rashly will only increase the danger."
Lady Liu asked, "What should we do then?"
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "Since His Majesty was also poisoned, and they came to this mountain just to look for Hua, they must have sent people to look for her. As long as we join them and get the latest clues about Hua, we can save a lot of time."
Concubine Liu looked at Jian Yue in shock. He was indeed a man who dared to wear women's clothes. He had a very useful brain!
Jian Yue said: "But I still need your help. I guess these people should be the guards or eunuchs in the palace, but I am not sure which organization they belong to. You have to help me find out and do everything you can to get them in."
Concubine Liu also realized the seriousness of the matter, and after this incident she understood that Jian Yue was definitely a very capable teammate. Moreover, if he had not helped herself, he would not have fallen into this situation. Since coming to this world, she has not established a deep connection with this world, and she has never thought of taking advantage of the original owner's family background and power.
But now, she had to stand up. Otherwise, if she watched Jian Yue die today, how could she be sure that she would not be the next one?
Lady Liu immediately said, "Wait for my news."
While she was out doing business, Jian Yue flipped through the entire medical book again, and even took the time to look for a map of the mountain, reading it carefully and making preparations.
Noon time.
Concubine Liu finally came back. This time she was much more reliable than before. She investigated the team that was looking for flowers and used a lot of connections to finally find an identity for Jian Yue.
"That's all I can do." Lady Liu said, "And only you can go. I have to go back to the tent, otherwise the Queen Mother and the Imperial Master's people will get suspicious."
Jian Yue nodded: "I was originally planning to go by myself. When you return to the tent, remember that Manager Zhao is from Concubine Yin. Concubine Yin is the niece of the Queen Mother and has a strong background. The Emperor... I won't say much about the Emperor. Just wish yourself the best."
Lady Liu: “…”
No matter how much I say, she knows how terrible it is!!
Jian Yue didn't have time to say so much. He didn't have much time left. The safety value started to drop at a rate of a few tenths since noon. He simply changed into a guard's clothes and walked out. After coming here, he inexplicably started playing the dress-up game.
Following the instructions of Concubine Liu, Jian Yue walked on the path. No one dared to stop him because of his clothes. When he walked into the mountains, he finally saw the team looking for flowers. As expected, there were quite a few people, all wearing the clothes of the Imperial Guards, and they were searching. When he came, someone glanced at him but didn't ask much.
Jian Yue followed the large group and searched for a while, and saw that many people had already sat down to rest, or even got ready, as if they were not going to move forward anymore.
Someone happened to be sitting next to me.
Jian Yue handed over a pot of water: "Does this brother want to quench his thirst?"
The bearded man took it and said, "Thanks, brother."
He gulped down half the pot, wiped his mouth, and sighed, "This water is good."
Jian Yue took over and said, "I just picked it up at the stream on the mountainside. I was just transferred here to help. Let me ask you a question. Aren't we going to move forward? Haven't you found the flowers for His Majesty yet?"
Seeing Jian Yue's fair complexion, the bearded man thought that he was a young master from some noble family who was sent here for training. He said, "The people from the Imperial Master Tianjian just came to inform us that there will be heavy rain in the afternoon, which may cause flash floods. We need to be more careful. This is very dangerous. We are going to find a cave to make do for now and we will talk about it later."
Jian Yue said: "But if it gets dark, we won't be able to find the flowers, then what about His Majesty..."
The bearded man said, "Your Majesty's flowers are more important than our lives, right? You are new here, and there are some things you don't understand yet. Listen to my advice, the affairs of the court are very complicated, and some things are not as simple as they seem. It is better for you to stay out of other people's business. Besides, we work for the royal family, so we can't die here, right? You are not the emperor's concubine, and you are not the one who was poisoned. Why are you so anxious?"
Jian Yue: “…”
