Chapter 288 The Queen's Secret
Seeing that Zhong Jian was so anxious, Fu Zhaoning asked Eleven to hold him down.
"Okay, I get it. Don't get excited. Just lie down!"
Zhong Jian then lay down and didn't want to get up, but he still looked very worried, "Miss, it's really unsafe for Fu Si and his wife to live in the Fu family like this. She noticed me at once, and the poison she used was so powerful. What if she..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Zhaoning sighed.
"I understand, but I didn't expect it was Madam Fu who did it."
"She is not mute. She made an appointment with Madam Rongyue at that time. So, could the customers who often visit the Yuerong Building opened by Madam Rongyue be the place where they want to recruit believers?"
When Zhong Jian said this, Fu Zhaoning's heart skipped a beat. This really was possible.
"Madam Rongyue had been pestering your father all along. Could your parents' departure also be related to the Shenyi Cult?"
Xiao Lanyuan's voice came from outside the door.
Fu Zhaoning turned his head and looked over. He was stunned when he saw him walking in with Qing Yi.
"Why did you come here suddenly?"
"Princess, the prince just came out of the palace." Qing Yi said. Although he didn't know why the prince suddenly came to the Fu family, he probably missed the princess.
"What's the emperor up to again?" Fu Zhaoning said immediately.
Xiao Lanyuan couldn't help laughing, "You seem to know him well?"
"At a time like this, who wouldn't be interested in the Hu family's token?" Fu Zhaoning thought it was not surprising that the emperor would ask about this matter.
"Zhong Jian is awake?" Xiao Lanyuan looked at Zhong Jian, "How do you feel?"
"Your Highness, I am fine now. The young lady's medical skills are very impressive."
When Zhong Jian saw Xiao Lanyuan coming over, he wanted to get out of bed and salute him, but Xiao Lanyuan stopped him with a gesture.
"Well, your medical skills are good. You have made a contribution this time. Don't worry about anything else. Just take good care of yourself." Xiao Lanyuan said.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Tell me in detail what you saw and heard that day."
"yes."
Zhong Jian recounted everything he saw and heard that day. After Xiao Lanyuan finished listening, he immediately sent someone to check the small building.
They would meet at that place to prove that it is a place where they feel safe. What place is safe? Of course, it is their own place.
"Okay, let Zhong Jian have a good rest, let's go out." Fu Zhaoning grabbed Xiao Lanyuan. He just said that he should rest well, but he kept asking questions here.
As soon as they went out, Zhong Jian called Qing Yi.
"I was poisoned, and I knew I was going to die." Zhong Jian looked at Qing Yi, "In fact, it has been proven that it is indeed very difficult to treat. Otherwise, with Miss's medical skills, it would be impossible for him to sleep for so many days before waking up completely."
"Yeah, boss, you really had a close call this time." Eleven said.
"Miss, your medical skills are very impressive, but it's impossible that you don't have medicine, so I want to ask, did you spend a lot of effort to save me?"
Zhong Jian was the first one to follow Fu Zhaoning to Luoyue Mountain to dig for herbs. He had seen how hard she worked to dig for a single herb, and he also knew how many times she had been troubled by the lack of herbs.
Even if he had no medical skills, he could imagine how much effort and medicinal materials were needed to save him this time.
The young lady must be fighting for her life with the King of Hell.
Qing paused for a moment, but still felt that he had to know about this matter.
"The princess said that to save you, we need the Blood Heart Silkworm." Qing Yi said.
"What?" Zhong Jian was shocked.
"You also know how rare the blood-heart silkworm is, and it is also what the prince needs, so the princess asked the prince, and the prince agreed."
Qing Ding looked at Zhong Jian steadily.
Zhong Jian froze in disbelief. He didn't even notice Qing Yi had left.
Eleven sighed, "Boss, the princess dared to go directly to the prince to ask for the blood-heart silkworm for you, and she also promised to find another blood-heart silkworm for the prince, but the prince is also willing to give up the blood-heart silkworm."
Zhong Jian's eyes turned red and his throat felt a little sore.
He pulled the quilt up to cover his face.
"Boss, the Blood Heart Silkworms have already been used, so you shouldn't think too much about it." Eleven advised, fearing that he would be under too much psychological pressure in the future.
"I know, please get out."
Zhong Jian's voice was hoarse.
He wouldn't think too much, but he knew that originally his life belonged to the prince, and in the future he would have to split his life into two halves, one half for the prince and the other half for the princess.
Where can I find another blood-heart silkworm?
Fu Zhaoning dragged Xiao Lanyuan out to his yard. Xiao Tao saw him and quickly saluted.
"Uncle, you're here!" Xiao Tao was a little nervous.
"Yeah." Xiao Lanyuan glanced at her, and his mood suddenly brightened. "I'll give you a reward later."
"Ah?" Xiao Tao didn't react. Why did she suddenly get rewarded with silver?
Qing Yi had already followed, and after hearing this, he immediately took out an ingot of silver and handed it to Xiao Tao.
"Take it."
Xiao Tao looked at Fu Zhaoning. Can you accept this inexplicable reward? However, the prince's reward is ten taels!
"Accept it, since our King Jun is so generous." Fu Zhaoning said, looking at Xiao Tao's helpless look.
"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Tao immediately accepted the silver ingot and bowed again, "I'll go make tea right away!"
She ran out joyfully.
Xiao Lanyuan looked at Fu Zhaoning, "Do you know why I gave her a reward?"
"How should I know?"
"Because it's the first time that you, a servant girl, call me son-in-law." Xiao Lanyuan said.
Qing Yi was dumbfounded when he heard this. Your Majesty, is this the reason?
Fu Zhaoning was also convinced, "You sound like you really want to be the son-in-law of the Fu family!"
If he does this, she will misunderstand.
"The people of Shenyi Cult must have had great intentions when they infiltrated Zhao State," Xiao Lanyuan changed the subject, "I now suspect that your parents' departure was related to Shenyi Cult."
"Perhaps, the person who poisoned you back then was also a remnant of the Shenyi Sect?" Fu Zhaoning also followed up on his topic.
While they were talking about this, in the palace, the queen was holding up a night-shining pearl, opening the tunnel to the bedroom and walking in.
If you hadn't come down here yourself, you wouldn't have known there was such a long and winding secret passage underneath.
When she came out of the secret passage again, she had already entered a secluded side hall.
There had been water here, and most of the outer walls were blackened by fire. The temple was empty, without lights, and looked very desolate.
Because this place is closer to the cold palace, it is very quiet. A concubine and several palace maids were burned to death here before, and no one has been approaching here since then.
Anyway, the imperial palace of Zhao State was very large and covered a vast area, so it was no big deal to leave such a palace abandoned.
No one expected that the queen would come to such an abandoned side hall at this time.
