Chapter 150: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (27)
The inner area of the hunting ground and the open space outside the curtains.
Yuan Ting rushed back after receiving the news, accompanied by a large number of officials and guards, and saw Lu Cha sitting listlessly in a wheelchair.
The exposed arm resting on the armrest was wrapped in white cloth, with a faint blood color.
Her little face was pale, completely devoid of her former brightness and vitality. She looked like duckweed floating in the wind, weak and pitiful.
She was still moaning with Lingying beside her: "This palace is in so much pain~~~"
Yuan Ting subconsciously frowned.
Isn’t it Xun Ji that Luo Zelan wants to deal with?
Lu Cha raised her little head and said aggrievedly, "Brother Huang, you must thoroughly investigate this matter and give me an explanation."
"Don't worry, Anping. I will never let go of anyone who wants to harm you!" Yuan Ting feigned concern. "You're injured. Why don't you go into the tent and rest?"
"The prince consort fainted from fright and had no place to lie down."
As soon as Lu Cha finished speaking, Luo Zelan came over and bowed, "Your Highness, I greet the Emperor and the Princess."
When he saw Lu Cha's arm, Luo Zelan's eyes were filled with excitement.
She had originally planned to have someone stab Xun Ji, and then send a special medicine to take his life, but she did not expect to receive a surprise.
Yuan Lucha's life is much more important than that blind man's!
"I heard that Your Highness was injured in an assassination attempt, so I went to get some ointment." Luo Zelan took out a small porcelain box and said with concern:
"This was specially prepared by someone I had prepared. It's very effective in relieving pain and won't leave scars."
"Your Highness's body must not be harmed in the slightest."
Luo Zelan paused deliberately and said, "If Your Highness doesn't trust me, you can ask the imperial physician to examine me before using me."
She had previously secretly ordered someone to replace the incense in the eldest princess's curtain. Once it mixed with the ointment on the wound, it would produce toxins in the body.
But the incense alone only has some aphrodisiac effect, and the ointment only contains one strong herb, so there is no need to worry about being detected!
Luo Zelan couldn't stop feeling proud.
The little bitch finally fell into her hands!
Taking in Luo Zelan's reaction, Lu Cha said meaningfully, "How could I not believe Empress Lan?"
"Lingying, keep the ointment and apply it to me later. It hurts so much~"
Lingying nodded and took the porcelain box from Luo Zelan's hand.
Yuan Ting comforted them a few more times and then led everyone back to the forest.
After all, Crown Prince Xiliang was still waiting there. Today he was invited to go hunting, and he couldn't be left alone.
Luo Zelan achieved his goal and left leisurely.
Luo Jinshuang, however, did not continue to participate in the hunt. She and Chu Jinghong chose to stay. Looking at Lu Cha's arm with distressed eyes, she only heard her say, "I was just pretending."
"...What about this blood?"
Lu Cha said innocently: "I got it from the assassin's corpse."
Make rational use of resources.
Luo Jinshuang looked helpless. Glancing at the porcelain box Lingying was holding, her expression slightly stiffened. "Luo Zelan is very cunning. Your Highness had better not use her things."
"Why don't I ask Mr. Ye to check?"
Although Mr. Ye had left the capital, Luo Jinshuang knew his whereabouts very well, because every ten days, she would ask someone to send him the fine wine from Fengran Tower.
Lu Cha nodded, then looked at Chu Jinghong, who looked like Luo Jinshuang's shadow, with a smile on her face:
"Is the Prime Minister still resting in the tent?"
Chu Jinghong nodded guiltily.
His father was ordered by the emperor to accompany him on a hunting trip, but he was unwilling to flatter the officials, so he claimed to be carsick and hid in the tent.
"I have something to discuss with the Prime Minister."
Seeing Lu Cha suddenly become serious, Chu Jinghong was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he walked to the front to lead the way, wondering:
Princess, what can you say to his father?
And in the curtain in the distance.
Xun Ji, lying on the bed, opened his eyes slowly with his long eyelashes trembling, and felt a slight pain in the back of his neck.
Along with the sweet sandalwood scent wafting in the air, the memories before the coma gradually flashed through my mind.
Xun Ji supported himself on the bed and sat up. There was no one in the tent.
What about Yuanlu Tea?
But at this moment, a man in black leaped forward and knelt on one knee: "Master, I have already investigated the matter of today's assassin."
"Besides Concubine Lan, there is also the work of Crown Prince Xiying."
Xun Ji's eyes were dark.
Luo Zelan couldn't possibly know about the bastard, so that meant...
"Where is Xi Hanfeng?"
-
Deep in the mountains.
Xi Hanfeng stood leaning against a tree trunk, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, his eyelids lowered, hiding the interest in his eyes.
The attendant beside him was cleaning up a gray wolf he had just shot, smiling flatteringly:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is incredibly brave. He killed the gray wolf with a single arrow."
"When Emperor Yuanchang returns and sees this, he will surely be filled with admiration."
A cold light flashed across the sky in an instant.
The follower who was flattering him just now fell to the ground with a thud, with a sharp arrow stuck in his forehead.
Several other guards were also shot to death.
Just as Xi Hanfeng was about to grasp the sword at his waist, his neck was suddenly grabbed tightly by a ghostly figure.
At the same time, a sharp dagger was pressed against his chest.
The man in green leaned over, his eyes covered by a ribbon embroidered with green bamboo. He looked like an elegant young man, but his thin lips curled up in a strange arc:
"The prince's intention to cooperate with me is not sincere."
