Chapter 259 Jun Tianyi Meets a Snake
Hu Erniang's words made Du Niangzi frown slightly. She immediately turned her head to look at her, but saw that her expression was normal, as if her words just now had no purpose.
But Jun Tianyi's expression became even uglier.
"I hope the emperor is trying to trick me, but if my mother is really seriously ill because of me... then I would be extremely unfilial."
Poison Lady said, "Your Highness, please do not be anxious. In order to establish his reputation as a benevolent person, the Emperor will not treat the Concubine Dowager harshly. In addition, with the intercession of the royal family, even if the Concubine Dowager is really ill, the imperial doctors will do their best to treat her."
"But my mother was implicated by me after all. She must be very worried about me now." Jun Tianyi lowered his eyes with a sad look, "If I could see her, or someone could help me tell her that I'm still alive, she would probably be able to rest assured and recover from her illness."
"If Your Majesty has made up his mind, I do have an idea that can help Your Majesty."
Hu Erniang said, "I know a capable man, nicknamed the Thousand Faces Young Master, who has a stall in the black market and has some human skin masks. Your Highness, you are a serious criminal now. If you can get a human skin mask, you can walk freely on the street. But with the money we have left, we can only afford the crudest human skin mask."
Jun Tianyi was immediately moved when he heard this, "The crudest human skin mask, is there an obvious flaw?"
"If you look closely in the daytime, you can still see the flaws, but it's not easy to see in dim light. If the prince gets the mask, he can wait until sunset to go out on the street."
"It's a good idea, but I don't have any money on me right now, so I can only borrow yours."
Jun Tianyi looked at the two sisters in front of him with an apologetic look on his face, "I am in such a state of destitution, and you are still willing to help me. I will definitely remember your kindness and repay you double in the future."
"Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. My second sister and I will go to the black market right now."
Poison Lady pulled Hu Er Niang up and turned to leave.
After they walked a little further away, she asked, "Second sister, what are you thinking about? Before, you spoke up for me and told the prince about Prime Minister Song's enthronement, which made him faint. That was fine, but today you gave him this idea. His shoulder injury hasn't healed yet, and it's risky to go out on the street wearing a poor quality human skin mask. You're not deliberately trying to cause trouble for him, are you?"
"You are wronging me by saying that, elder sister. I really can't stand his indifference towards you, so I got angry with him, but I was seriously giving him advice just now. He misses his mother. If you keep stopping him, if something really happens to the concubine, do you think he will blame you?"
Hu Erniang snorted coldly, "At that time, he won't care whether you are doing this for his own good or not. He will only think that it is your obstruction that prevents them from meeting each other."
Of course, she would not admit that in her heart she actually hoped that Prince Yi would be in trouble.
If he is unlucky and gets caught, his elder sister will definitely not be able to save him. Maybe she will be sad at first, but she will get over it after a while.
"I'm sorry, Second Sister. I shouldn't have doubted you." Lady Du sighed and held Hu Er Niang's hand. "I'll come back on my own this time when I go to the black market. Don't suffer with us anymore. Go find Fourth Sister. I'll take the prince to another place to stay."
"The fourth sister has the third sister as her companion." Hu Erniang said, "If I leave too, you, the eldest sister, will be left without a companion. I have to follow you."
Poison Lady paused.
She suddenly stopped, and Hu Erniang was a little puzzled, "What's wrong, big sister?"
Poison Lady lowered her eyes and thought for a long time, then seemed to have made a decision, turned around and said: "Second sister, I have made up my mind. After the prince's friend from Xiling Country comes to pick him up, we will not follow him."
When she said this, Hu Erniang was surprised at first, then a look of joy appeared on her face, "Are you serious?"
"Really. Although I like him, he still has no interest in me. It will probably be fruitless if I continue to insist. If we follow him to a foreign country, it will be difficult to see my third and fourth sisters again. I have to make a choice between you and him."
Poison Lady said, "I have been loyal to Prince Yi for a long time and have never thought of turning against him. Prince Ning must hate me, so I can't get too close to my fourth sister and the others, lest Prince Ning also have opinions about them, but I can meet them occasionally when they go out. Also, didn't you say you wanted to travel? Have you decided where you want to go?"
"So my elder sister still remembers you." Hu Erniang was overjoyed and took Du Niangzi's arm. "I heard that Lizhou has beautiful scenery. Let's go and take a look."
Poison Lady smiled and replied, "Okay."
…
As the sun sets, the streets become less crowded.
Doctor Liu was ordered to go to Prince Yi's Mansion to take the Dowager Concubine's pulse. He was picked up by palace guards. The carriage was originally driving well, but suddenly two black shadows flew through the air and landed on the roof of the carriage, stabbing the coachman with the swords in their hands.
The driver was on guard when he heard the noise. He drew his sword and rushed forward. When the swords collided, he felt a numbness in the palm of his hand and immediately narrowed his eyes.
The opponent attacked again, and he jumped off the carriage without even trying to fight.
The two masked men had no time to care about him. One of them set up the carriage and the other got into it.
He smiled coldly, took out a signal firework from his sleeve and lit it.
"Bang!"
Du Zhong heard the sound and his expression changed, "Sir, it's a flare!"
Jun Tianyi's expression was also extremely ugly, and the sword in his hand was across the doctor's neck. "What is the current situation of Concubine Yi? Tell me!"
The imperial physician turned pale with fear and said in a trembling voice, "The imperial concubine...she is very ill. I was just about to go and treat her!"
Jun Tianyi's heart sank.
Taking advantage of his distraction, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the "imperial physician", and a dagger quietly slipped from his sleeve into his hand and stabbed towards Jun Tianyi's abdomen!
Jun Tianyi was shocked and leaned back in panic. The "imperial physician" escaped from his sword and threw out two darts.
He swung it quickly, and Jun Tianyi reacted quickly as well. He dodged one, raised his hand to catch the next one, and stabbed it back into the opponent's body.
The other party snorted, Jun Tianyi no longer wanted to fight, turned around and rushed out of the carriage, and said to Du Zhong: "Go!"
They really fell into the trap.
The dart used by the fake imperial physician just now seemed to be one of the hidden weapons of the Mingjing Division.
As soon as the flare sounds, a large number of people will quickly come over and they must evacuate as soon as possible.
The master and servant hid in a quiet alley and quickly took off their night clothes and masks.
When Du Zhong went out, he smeared his face with wax yellow and put on a fake beard. Jun Tianyi put on a human skin mask, which changed his appearance. His face was ordinary at the moment, and the sun had already set, so it was not easy to find flaws in this rough human skin mask.
His action this time was not only for his mother, but also to take someone away.
…
"Are you really going to give this thing to me?"
Inside Ruihe Hall, Zhong Nanyue looked at herself in the bronze mirror. At this moment, she had a layer of rejuvenating cream on her cheeks. She felt that her skin was much more hydrated and even smoother to the touch.
Si Niang said that what Jiang Rumin made was excellent, and it was indeed not an exaggeration at all.
"Of course it's true." Jiang Rumin smiled at her, "You are the adopted sister of His Royal Highness Prince Ning, and I don't treat you as an outsider. Just keep this rejuvenating cream and don't pay me."
Hearing this, Zhong Nanyan asked her again, "What do you like? I'll buy it for you too."
"Just now Si Niang went to buy roast goose, and I forgot to ask her to bring me some cakes from Fuyuanju. The signature dim sum from that restaurant is delicious. Please bring some for me next time."
As Jiang Rumin was speaking, she suddenly heard a thud outside the door. She looked up and saw a man unconscious at the door.
The guard next to her turned to her and said, "Miss, this man just came here holding his stomach. He must have wanted to see a doctor, but he fainted before he even stepped through the door."
"Let me see."
Jiang Rumin came to the man, squatted down, and reached out to feel his pulse.
But what she didn't expect was that the man suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist with his backhand.
Jiang Rumin was shocked and subconsciously wanted to call for help, but was knocked unconscious by the other party and carried on his shoulder.
The two guards were about to snatch the person away, but Du Zhong, who was hiding behind a tree, quickly rushed to the two and threw a gust of medicinal powder at them!
The two were blinded by the powder and felt pain in their eyes. Du Zhong did not intend to fight and was about to leave when he saw a pink figure approaching him.
The woman was faster than him, and just as he was about to make a move, she kicked him away.
Jun Tianyi heard the exclamation behind him and turned around subconsciously, and saw a strange woman running towards him——
"Put him down!"
Zhong Nanyue let out a delicate cry and slapped Jun Tianyi.
Jun Tianyi raised his hand to fight back, and when their palms collided, Zhong Nanyue suddenly felt the blood rushing up in her chest and was forced to retreat two steps quickly.
Jun Tianyi smiled contemptuously, turned around and was about to leave, but heard a clear whistle behind him.
Zhong Nanyan stretched out her right arm, and a tiny flower snake quickly sprang out and landed on Jun Tianyi's shoulder.
