When the Eighth Prince woke up and saw Concubine Duan's concerned eyes and his sister in his arms, he thought his condition must have worsened and he was having hallucinations.
[Eighth Prince Brother, it’s me! ]
[How are you? Are you feeling better?]
After hearing the familiar voice and confirming it repeatedly, the Eighth Prince finally believed that it was indeed Concubine Duan and Baozhu who were by his side.
"What's going on?"
When he spoke, he was slightly surprised at the recovery of his strength.
There is only one life-saving medicine, and the Eighth Prince has already taken it.
Although Concubine Li couldn't make exactly the same pills, she also made some life-saving pills.
When the Queen Mother returned to the palace, Concubine Li made some preparations in advance to prevent any unexpected events.
Fortunately, through her daughter's inner voice, Concubine Li knew that, in addition to the possibility of being infected by a poisonous insect, where and to what extent the Eighth Prince was injured...
Concubine Li handed the prepared pill to Concubine Duan, who had already given it to the Eighth Prince.
Combined with the Seventh Prince's pills, it takes effect quickly.
Concubine Duan told the Eighth Prince how she learned about the situation and how the situation changed.
The eighth prince was surprised to learn that Baozhu's blood could control the poisonous insect.
I heard that Concubine Duan had already fed me Baozhu's blood while I was in a coma...
The eighth prince struggled to get up, held Jun Baozhu's hand tightly, and carefully examined the wound on her hand.
His face was full of guilt and heartache.
[Eighth Prince, what's wrong? ]
[I am not in pain, please don't be sad...]
[It's not you who is wrong, it's the vicious witch doctor! ]
[My blood can save the eighth prince, I am so happy! ]
【I am so useful! 】
Jun Baozhu's eyes curved with a smile, and the Eighth Prince's days of running around, fatigue and physical pain instantly disappeared.
While the Eighth Prince was in a coma, he was unaware of the situation around him.
He had just woken up and learned about the situation in the palace and the reason why Concubine Duan brought Jun Baozhu here. He immediately asked the guards about the situation of the Seventh Prince.
Because they had only left two days in advance, the guards escorting the Eighth Prince needed to inquire about the surrounding situation during their rest, and thus they collected information about the Seventh Prince.
The guard reported that they were two days away from the team.
Fortunately, the Eighth Prince felt temporarily comforted upon learning that the Seventh Prince's injuries were not serious.
After collecting information, the Eighth Prince learned that Concubine Duan had encountered several assassinations along the way, and how to deal with them...
His face turned paler.
"Eighth Prince, what's wrong?"
Concubine Duan asked.
“I heard from the Queen that the assassins were probably the witch doctor’s men.
Since they used the powder that was suspected to contain Gu worm eggs and found that it did not cause any harm to the team, they have not encountered any assassination attempts since then?"
Concubine Duan nodded.
The Eighth Prince analyzed, "The Great Witch Doctor should have known that there is a way to defeat the poisonous insect.
If this is the case, you and Baozhu are in danger!"
Jun Baozhu heard this and comforted the Eighth Prince:
[Don’t be afraid! Brother Eighth Prince! ]
【There are so many of us! 】
[In addition to the imperial guards and all the guards of the Taiwei Mansion, Concubine Xian has hired many civilian guards for us! ]
Concubine Duan has only recently joined the group and obviously does not have a clear understanding of the great witch doctor's abilities.
Before the Eighth Prince left, he followed the Second Prince's instructions and explained to Concubine Duan how they had worked together to kill Nanny Gui.
As expected, Concubine Duan's expression changed.
The Eighth Prince added:
"Before leaving the palace, the Crown Prince and my second brother warned us not to be careless.
It is said that the great witch doctor's strength is far superior to that of Nanny Gui.
I think this is why, when the witch doctor was found in the palace and there were not many helpers, the seventh brother would rather perish together with her and get rid of her!"
The team was about to arrive at the post station and rest at a campsite on the way.
The eighth prince immediately gave the order to have the team count the number of people.
Half an hour later, the captain of the guards reported in a panic that two guards were missing.
After careful inspection, two guards were found standing at the end of the team, who asked to go to the bathroom and never returned.
There are slight drag marks on the road.
When the Eighth Prince heard this, his expression became solemn.
[What's wrong? The Eighth Prince looks worried...]
Jun Baozhu asked the system.
The system replied, "Noble Concubine Duan should have guessed it. Like the Eighth Prince, she was worried that the two missing guards were captured by the witch doctor or his men."
Jun Baozhu asked: [Why did you take the guard away? ]
System: [The Great Witch Doctor should have learned that there is a way to restrain the poisonous insects in the team.]
[They arrested him and took him away, probably to find out what this method is. 】
Jun Baozhu was immediately shocked:
[Then she is not, and will soon find out, and the solution is me? ]
At that time, the chief guard diluted her blood and asked the guards and escorts who were sprayed with powder to smear their noses, etc.
At that time, there were so many guards and escorts that it was impossible to hide the truth.
Jun Baozhu asked the system:
[If the witch doctor knew, what would he do to me? ]
I already had a bad feeling in my heart.
With the Eighth Prince and Concubine Duan by my side, and so many people protecting me...
Jun Baozhu was not afraid at first, but when she thought of the cruelty of the witch doctor, she couldn't help but shudder.
Noticing Jun Baozhu's movements, Concubine Duan hugged Jun Baozhu tighter and stroked her back gently.
The Eighth Prince held back his gaze and began to think seriously.
Just then, the system spoke.
Jun Baozhu widened her eyes.
[What? The bodies of the two missing guards are lying at the post station not far ahead? ]
