Chapter 33: Qi Yunshen is poisoned and will not live for more than two years
The eldest princess asked the younger generations to go back first, leaving only Qin and Princess Zhou.
Jiang Yunzheng came to the bottom of Xunyu Tower, staring at Yuxi Pavilion not far away, his thoughts drifting away.
This road is the only way to leave the banquet, whether to change clothes or take a walk to sober up.
Qi San left first, followed by Shi Xiaoya, King Zhou, and finally Chen Yingyu.
This guest house is closest to Xunyu Tower, while the courtyard where Qi San lives is closest to the banquet. It is possible that after Qi San left the banquet, he did not come to Xunyu Tower at all, but went directly back to his own courtyard.
Looking at King Zhou's expression, Jiang Yunzheng guessed that he might have eaten something to liven up his mood.
Going back further, after King Zhou finished drinking a pot of wine at the banquet, the maid brought another pot. Coincidentally, Qi San's wine was accidentally spilled by the maid, so the maid brought another pot of wine.
Could it be that King Zhou was drugged at that time?
And that medicine was originally intended for Qi San? !
Shi Xiaoya loves Qi San and has confessed her love to him in public before. Given Shi Xiaoya's personality, it is not impossible for her to drug him.
When you think about it this way, it makes sense.
Jiang Yunzheng took Wu Lu back. On the way, Wu Lu couldn't help but say, "This is really weird."
Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips, "Do you remember how many maids Miss Chen brought with her today?"
Wu Lu had a good memory and quickly answered, "Two."
One was serving food to Chen Yingyu at the banquet.
The other one was probably at Xunyu Tower, directing Shi Xiaoya to the guesthouse and falsely claiming that Qi San was resting there. King Zhou wasn't sure what to do to Shi Xiaoya while drunk, but he could at least make her suffer in silence.
But what Chen Yingyu probably couldn't have imagined was that King Zhou had been drugged.
Jiang Yunzheng returned to the yard, but couldn't fall asleep for a while because mosquitoes in the house kept bothering her.
Fortunately, her yard was backed by a mountain, and there was a forest outside the back door. She gently unlocked the door, and the lock fell to the ground.
Jiang Yunzheng: ...
After taking two steps out, I found the herbs under the tree.
But at this moment, several shadows flashed in front of him. Jiang Yunzheng thought to himself, "Oh no! Out of the blue, another assassination attempt has come."
In less than a month, there were four assassinations and kidnappings.
Her light-colored dress was very conspicuous, and soon an assassin came after her. Jiang Yunzheng hid behind a tree, with the silver needle in her hand ready to strike.
But at this moment, a sword tip came into view and directly cut off the assassin's head.
I didn’t expect it to be Qingying.
Qingying didn't expect that it was Jiang Yunzheng again!
The assassins split into two, with most continuing to move forward and the rest coming towards them.
Jiang Yunzheng picked up a sword to defend himself. Fortunately, Qingying's swordsmanship was sharp and he quickly took care of everyone.
Qingying glared at Jiang Yunzheng: "You keep approaching us, do you have any ulterior motives?"
Jiang Yunzheng: ???
She pointed to the herbs under the tree and pulled the corner of her lips: "There are mosquito bites in the middle of the night. I just came to get some herbs."
Qingying said expressionlessly, "If you have any doubts, wait for the master's decision."
After saying that, he picked up Jiang Yunzheng and ran towards the top of the mountain.
Jiang Yunzheng was speechless.
As we approached the top of the mountain, it became increasingly colder, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
There were broken arms and legs on the ground, and Jiang Yunzheng could see at least thirty heads at a glance.
Jiang Yunzheng was thrown beside a cold pond.
Standing next to him was Qi An, the sword in his hand still dripping with blood.
And in the water...
Qi Yunshen leaned against the side with his eyes closed. The man's collar was a little messy, his skin looked even colder and whiter in the moonlight, and there was dark red blood at the corner of his mouth. He seemed to have lost consciousness, and his white shirt was stained red by old wounds.
Jiang Yunzheng narrowed her eyes slightly, and felt that something was wrong with Qi Yunshen.
"What happened to your prince?"
Qingying frowned and said, "Let the master take a look first to see...how serious it is."
The situation was urgent, and it was too late for Qingying to run back to the capital to find a doctor, so he caught Jiang Yunzheng and tried to save her.
As soon as Jiang Yunzheng touched Qi Yunshen's arm, the man grabbed her with one hand and pulled her into the water by gravity.
Qingying:?
Qi An: ???
Jiang Yunzheng couldn't swim and her left hand was injured and she couldn't use it. She rolled over several times and only got a chance to breathe after holding Qi Yunshen's arm tightly. Qingying had to use a lot of strength to pull Qi Yunshen's hand free.
She wiped her face and couldn't help complaining: "Is there nothing wrong with your prince?"
Qingying coughed lightly: "Even though the prince is asleep, his body is subconsciously alert."
Jiang Yunzheng felt the man's pulse and frowned for a moment, "Did your prince get poisoned by the White Bone Green Water Grass?"
Qi An stared at Jiang Yunzheng and asked, "Do you know this poison?"
She had seen this poison in her master's ancient books in her previous life. This poison would not kill in one blow, but once poisoned, one could only wait for death. The poison would lurk in the body, deep in the blood and bone marrow, and multiply wantonly. It would wait until the body was weak before attacking the consciousness. The limbs would feel as if silver needles were piercing the bones, and finally one would lose consciousness completely and become a killing tool.
It is said that the last emperor of the previous dynasty died from this poison. After his death, all the bones in his body were broken, and some even broke through the skin, which was very scary.
Ancient books record that the only antidote, the Huangquan Piling root, grows on the top of the Xiling Snow Mountain. Firstly, the growing environment is harsh and it is difficult for mortals to reach. No one has found it in hundreds of years. Secondly, the Huangquan Piling root grass is highly toxic. Even if you are lucky enough to find it, you cannot take it away from the snow mountain.
After Jiang Yunzheng finished speaking, Qingying and Qi An fell silent at the same time.
Qi An: "Has anyone ever picked it?"
Jiang Yunzheng climbed out of the water, shivering in the cold wind. "Maybe."
As soon as Qi Yunshen arrived at the hot spring villa today, his body began to show abnormalities.
Near dusk, Qi Yunshen's whole body was hot and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had lost consciousness. Qi An was unable to control Qi Yunshen and could only lead him to the back mountain in seclusion.
Qi Yunshen's spirits fluctuated, and he finally sealed his own acupoints and jumped into the hot spring to regulate his internal energy.
Qingying vented his anger by punching the tree trunk and said with red eyes: "If the master hadn't fallen off the cliff, he wouldn't have been injured..." and the poison wouldn't have taken effect.
Qingying witnessed the entire process that day. He immediately turned and stared at Jiang Yunzheng, "To some extent, the master's poisoning is partly due to you. You must save the prince, otherwise..."
Jiang Yunzheng sneered: "What else?"
What a joke! Qi Yunshen still owes her a life.
Qingying gritted her teeth and said, "Or I'll kill you and bury you with our prince!"
