Chapter 165
Princess? The man was slightly surprised, and then he remembered that the prince had just called her A Zhao, and then he realized who she was. Knowing who she was, he became even more vigilant.
As a result, Luo Yan was fighting in the audience, and Yuan Zhao and the man were wary of each other. As for the prince, when he heard Luo Yan's words, he had already fainted against the wall.
Fortunately, the reinforcements Jin Shui called for were the cavalry patrol guards.
A group of people galloped over on horseback, and the sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the silent night. The remaining two men in black looked at each other, jumped up, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Luo Yan didn't dare to pursue him. Things had to be prioritized. The prince and the princess were behind him, and there was also a man of unknown origin who was eyeing him. He had to be on guard.
He sheathed his sword, turned around, and at Yuan Zhao's signal, he felt the prince's pulse to see if he was injured or if his life was in danger.
Luo Yan saw that his nails were slightly black and his pulse was weak, so he took the blood from the wound and smelled it, and his expression changed drastically:
"Poisoned!"
After saying that, he shot like lightning and quickly touched several acupuncture points near the prince's wound. Then he took out a small porcelain bottle of medicinal powder from his pocket and poured some out.
"Wait a minute!" How could the man dare to let her do anything he wanted? He blocked the hand holding the sword and said with a stern expression, "How do you, a bodyguard, know that His Highness has been poisoned? How do you know what kind of poison he has?"
The key is, she is a guard who knows how to detoxify?! And by coincidence, she happens to have the antidote on her body?!
"She has some knowledge of medicine," Yuan Zhao explained, rather worried about Luo Yan's words, "What kind of poison did His Highness have? Could it be fatal?"
If it is not fatal, we will have to hold on until the people from the Jingwei Department come and ask them to carry the prince back to the prince's mansion for treatment. Otherwise, if the prince dies during Luo Yan's treatment, the prince's mansion will be doomed.
Luo Yan turned a deaf ear to the man's words and only replied to Yuan Zhao:
"That's a poison unique to a tribe in Yanshu, called Blood Spider. Your Highness must have taken some medicine before to suppress the onset of poison. But he used force, and the poison was aroused and began to spread throughout his body. I'm afraid he won't be able to return to the Prince's Mansion.
"
"Since it's Yan Shu's poison, how can you have an antidote?" The man became even more suspicious.
"We were trapped in Yansai," Luo Yan didn't want to explain too much and looked at Yuan Zhao, "Princess Princess, if we don't save you, it will be too late. Your Highness won't be able to hold on for long!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Zhao had already stabbed the man with his sword. The man was shocked and subconsciously jumped back a few steps.
"Save!" No matter what he was thinking, Yuan Zhao successfully forced him away. He stood up with his sword and stared at him closely. His eyes were cold and he said, "Your Highness's life and death is related to the life and death of the whole family in my palace. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
, Sorry!"
Only then did the man realize that he had been scared away by a woman. He couldn't help but become angry and angry, with murderous intent in his eyes. Just as he was about to swing his sword at him, he heard a sharp shout from not far away:
"stop!"
When the shouting stopped, there was a uniform sound of bows being strung up all around, and a row of archers suddenly appeared on the roof and on the ground to take aim. The patrol camp arrived belatedly, and when they learned that the injured person was the current prince, they were suddenly frightened and sweating profusely.
However, the man felt relieved when he saw people from the patrol camp arriving and Luo Yan still providing emergency rescue.
Under the eyes of everyone, the Hou Mansion would not dare to do anything to the prince. It can even be said that at this moment, the most worried about the prince's life is the Hou Mansion.
Who told them to meddle in their own business? If the prince makes a mistake, the court will definitely put all the blame on the princess...
No matter what the man thought, Jin Shui hurried over in a carriage, and everyone hurriedly carried the prince into the carriage. Luo Yan applied medicine to him and made a simple bandage. Then he accompanied Yuan Zhao and the man to the Jingwei Department.
.
The prince was assassinated, and everyone involved was interrogated.
Jin Shui was the messenger, so he was let off. He was ordered by the princess to return to the Marquis Mansion to tell the prince the whole story so as to avoid worrying his mistress.
…
After staying up all night, in the prison of Zongzheng Mansion, Yuan Zhao sat on the straw mat and silently practiced his internal skills. Luo Yan also sat cross-legged on one side, closing his eyes to rest and listen to the movement outside.
Last night, they were questioned and told the route and purpose of their trip last night. People from the Beijing Health Department were going to check and detained them temporarily. The man was treated the same way, but he was quickly taken away.
Gone.
It was the Zongzheng Mansion who came to pick it up.
It turns out that this person is Fengwu, the son of his current brother, Prince Duan. Prince Duan left his fiefdom shortly after Emperor Fengyuan ascended the throne and has not returned to the capital for a long time. This time he sent his second son back to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and at the same time asked him to stay in Kyoto to serve the imperial court.
.
In addition, the Zongzheng Mansion took them both away. Yuan Zhao was the princess, and that bullshit man said she was suspected of poisoning the prince.
Whether he is innocent or not must be verified and interrogated by the Zongzheng Mansion.
Of course, Yuan Zhao didn't care at all and just waited patiently. The place Zongzheng Mansion gave them was quite clean and they had a separate room, which was considered a kindness.
Unconsciously, a ray of sunlight shines on the ground through the iron window.
From a distance, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the end of the prison. Someone was coming. Yuan Zhao stopped his work and slowly opened his eyes. Soon, Luo Yan also heard the movement outside, opened his eyes, and looked at him in surprise.
With the princess.
Yuan Zhao knew what she was worried about, smiled and said with relief:
"Calm down, it's okay."
Just as she finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the prison. Seeing her sitting quietly in the prison, the other party couldn't help but feel sorry for her:
"Oh, Princess, I feel so wronged to you! Those bastards are so ignorant that they throw you into a place like this! But don't worry, His Highness has woken up and explained what happened one by one. When he learned that you were locked up,
Your Highness is so angry...
You move quickly! Is this a place the princess can stay in?"
Yuan Zhao: "..."
Luo Yan: "..."
The two of them stood by and watched, not wanting to say anything, just watching his performance quietly. The person who came was Cao Yi, the prince's personal servant, who was here to gain favor for his master as always.
After coming out, Yuan Zhao asked Cao Yi:
"How is His Highness's injury? Has the toxicity been eradicated?"
"Except," Cao Yi said happily, "Thanks to the timely treatment by the guards around you, otherwise His Highness would have been in critical condition."
"It's okay." Yuan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
She confessed last night that Luo Yan and she had lived in Nanzhou, adjacent to Yanshu, for two years, and they knew the poisonous prescriptions in Yanshu and didn't think it was strange.
Moreover, Luo Yan's pocket bag is not only an antidote, but also anti-epidemic, cold-infected, bruised and sprained... all medicines, non-toxic. In addition, there are several seasoning powders in the bag, such as
Chili pepper and paprika.
As a guard who has been guarding the princess since childhood, it is normal for Luo Yan to carry these items with him.
After leaving Zongzheng Mansion, Cao Yi personally drove Yuan Zhao to the Marquis Mansion. He even explained the reason to Jiang and solemnly apologized.
"Tell me, why would a girl go out at night? See, you are causing trouble, right?" Hou Shizi finally found the reason. As soon as Cao Yi left, he began to scold him, "Let's see what you can do."
Yes, if the assassin doesn't come to you, it would be better for you to take the initiative to send him to your door...
It’s good now, I’ve had a meal in prison, let’s see if you dare to do it next time!”
Yuan Zhao cooperated and cried out: "I didn't eat it!"
I just stayed for one night, so what, after hearing what you said, it seems a bit of a loss.
Chapter completed!
