Chapter 84 Interception on the way
After deciding on their next plan, the Yu siblings began to pack their bags for their return home.
Yu Yalan left amulets of different levels for the masters and secret guards of the Song family, and also prepared two large boxes of injury and illness medicines such as hemostasis powder and recovery pills.
Since the number of the Song family's imperial soldiers and secret guards was limited, they would inevitably face the dilemma of outnumbering the enemy when encountering a large-scale attack. Yu Yalan also specially gave them new weapons to wear.
The fine steel swords produced in space are strong and light, and can cut iron like mud. They are far better than the ancient cold weapons with backward iron smelting technology. All the soldiers and secret guards couldn't put it down after getting the new weapons, and they admired the future second young lady.
And grateful.
The day of separation came soon. After eating the farewell meal before leaving, hugging each other reluctantly and exhorting each other, the Yu siblings took the eight puppets and set off back to their hometown.
The low-key special carriage gradually moved away. Yu Yalan opened the curtains and waved goodbye to the few people watching in the cold wind. Her gentle eyes lingered on the smiling faces of the Song family, and she felt a strong desire to reunite with them as soon as possible.
If it weren't for the emperor's surveillance and control of the relatives of the border generals as hostages, she would have wanted to take the Song family and escape from the capital now. Later, she could only hope that Song Xi could come up with a proper way to bring Song's mother and the old lady back to Xian smoothly.
flat.
The snowflakes in early spring fell slowly, slowly covering up the long ruts on the ground.
At this time, they did not know that a turbulent upheaval was about to happen.
Today is the last reunion that they have remembered for many years.
…
The Yu family's motorcade traveled very quickly and arrived at Zhending Mansion in just one day.
Because they could not enter the city before dark, everyone could only rest on the spot in the nearby woods.
Fortunately, there were only the Yu siblings and eight puppets on this trip. They could take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation as they pleased. After leaving one person to guard and keep vigil, the others took advantage of the situation and entered the space to bathe and eat.
After dinner, the Yu Yalan siblings were enjoying their rare leisure time, when Bai Lang suddenly walked in with a serious look on his face.
"There is an enemy attack, prepare for war!"
Yu Yalan's expression turned grim, and she immediately led everyone out of the space.
As soon as he returned to the carriage, several arrows suddenly struck him. Several puppets quickly rushed out of the carriage to fight with the intruders, and the sound of fighting resounded.
Yu Yalan brought the white wolf out to help, and the pressure of the mythical beast instantly restrained all the assassins who attacked at night.
The eight puppets killed most of the enemies on the spot, leaving only three or four masked men who seemed to be the leaders alive.
Without any special instructions from his master, Mu Yang directly fed several people the mantra pills necessary for interrogation.
Before the assassin leader could recover from the shock of being killed so quickly by a few civilians, he uncontrollably revealed his identity and purpose.
It turned out that the fifty assassins in the night attack were all soldiers sent by Princess Yongning. The purpose was to kill the Yu siblings on their way back home. After the incident was completed, their bodies were sent to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, intending to give them to them.
A profound warning to the Song family who do not know how to praise.
With a gloomy face, Yu Hongxuan ordered the remaining assassins to be dealt with directly, and then took out the zombie water to completely eliminate the masked men on the ground. When he turned around and saw his sister's very angry look, he immediately proposed the ultimate plan to retaliate against Princess Yongning.
Best way.
"I previously developed a special prank potion that can keep a person's face full of red rashes for a whole year. No matter what medicine is used, it cannot be cured. Even if the medicine is not right, hair loss will occur. I know the murderer.
I'm sure you won't agree with this method. There should be no problem in sending someone to poison her, right?"
Yu Yalan nodded in agreement with her brother's idea, Shuli's face was full of angry indifference.
"Then let Mu Yang and Chi Xue sneak into the palace with the Heart-Eating Pill and the Tricky Potion, and after taking the medicine, they can stay in the grocery store in the capital to guard the Marquis' Mansion. This Princess Yongning is unruly and willful and doesn't act according to common sense. After the assassination failed, she said
Maybe they will turn against the Song family."
Is this because the Heart-Eating Pill and the Tricky Potion complement each other, causing the bad-tempered and sinister princess to die of poisoning due to the stimulation of heart disease and anger?
Yu Hongxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at his sister in surprise. He didn't expect that Dr. Yu, who was always kind and soft-hearted, would actually have to retaliate. It seems that he has completely grown up under the beatings of the feudal imperial power!
Yu Yalan was speechless and gave her younger brother a blow. "The other party has gone on a killing spree, how can I still sit back and wait for death? The royal family must be well aware of Princess Yongning's assassination, so we can only evade and not fight back, otherwise the princess will die."
, the emperor might use this as an excuse to eradicate the Song family, secretly using poison is the safest way, let that evil girl die of her own temper and character!"
"Why not let Mu Yang and Chi Xue just stay with the Song family?"
Yu Hongxuan didn't understand his sister's intention.
Yu Yalan lowered her eyes and sighed, and explained helplessly: "Brother Song originally objected to me taking only eight puppets on the road. At any rate, I had to send a team of secret guards to accompany us. It took me a lot of effort to persuade him.
Relax, if he finds out that I sent Mu Yang and Chixue back to protect the Hou Mansion, he might chase us anxiously and escort us back to Xianping himself."
Yu Hongxuan was choked for a moment by his sister's words. He felt that the cold dog food was giving him a little indigestion.
Fortunately, missing two puppets is not a big deal. They have space and the protection of the white wolf and can return home safely.
Mu Yang and Chi Xue took the master's entrustment and left on horseback, while Yu Yalan and others packed up and continued moving forward.
The rest of the journey went very smoothly. Except for the occasional pedestrian asking for help, the siblings never suffered any other attacks.
Yu Hongxuan also joked that the enemies in the capital must have been too busy taking care of themselves, or were overconfident in the princess's arrangements, so that they could return to Xianping smoothly.
Unintentional guesses are the easiest to turn into prophecies, and the enemies in the palace are indeed very worried.
On the morning of the third day after the Yu siblings left, Princess Yongning discovered that she suddenly had a rash all over her face. The imperial physician who was summoned urgently had to admit in a cold sweat that there was nothing she could do after acupuncture and decoction failed to treat the problem.
Princess Yongning was furious and killed the imperial doctor who was treating her. Then she sent most of the doctors from the imperial hospital into the palace to treat her. This crazy move even alerted the emperor and Concubine He, and the entire harem also learned of her disfigurement.
news.
More than a dozen imperial doctors took turns trying to treat Princess Yongning, but Princess Yongning's symptoms never improved at all. The originally annoying red rash became itchy and stinging due to the stimulation of the drugs, making the vicious princess who had exhausted her patience gradually become irritable and crazy.
"Old minister...I have never seen such symptoms before. Why don't you let me go back and study and discuss it. When I find a reliable way, I can try to treat the princess's illness. Please forgive me, the Holy Emperor and the empress!"
The old doctor faced the sharp gazes of the emperor and Concubine He and tremblingly begged for mercy for everyone in the hospital. He prayed silently in his heart that he could escape unscathed and not be killed by a ruthless rod in the inner palace like the unlucky guy in front of him.
