After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 169 Chapter 169 Nightmare
Sheng Tingye fell into the nightmare of six years ago again.

Dark clouds covered the sun, and the dreary weather was overwhelming.

A heavy rain is about to fall.

Only the eyeballs of his body could move.

Covered in scars and blood stains, he was lying in a small ravine not more than one mile away from Daqi's barracks.

He originally led a cavalry around, thinking of cooperating with General Qin to win by surprise.

The plan was flawless, but a traitor appeared in the process.

Someone leaked his whereabouts, and the sneak attack failed, but his team fell into an ambush by the Chu army.

Of the three thousand elites, only a hundred or so escaped from the poison-infested valley in the end.

He didn't know how many times he swung his sword and how many people he killed.

The blood stains all over his body include his own, his enemies', and his henchmen's.

Finally, under the escort of the remaining confidantes, he avoided the pursuers and fled to this small hillside.

With the last of his cronies down, he couldn't hold on any longer.

But Daqi didn't notice this, but Chu's pursuers were still approaching step by step.

It will be searched soon.

It was the closest he had come to death.

Before a person is about to die, his already chaotic and exhausted mind suddenly turns extraordinarily fast.

He sorted out all the past in the past few days, and then contacted the situation at that time, and quickly identified the traitor.

Wang Yuanan.

His companion, also his cousin, is the third son of his grandfather Wang's family, known as Wang Sanlang.

Only he, Wang Yuanan, and General Qin knew about the plan this time.

Even the cronies around him didn't know until half an hour before departure, even if there were ghosts among these people, they didn't have the time and opportunity to tip off the news.

But the Qin family is full of loyalty and loyalty, and General Qin has been a soldier all his life. In order to protect the border of Daqi, he almost died.

Not to mention, the Qin family and the Chu state have a deep hatred across the sea of ​​blood. Even if he had a quarrel with General Qin, it is absolutely impossible for General Qin to use this kind of thing as a raft and treat the lives of soldiers like ants.

The only one left was Wang Yuanan, who supervised the army with him.

Although he didn't want to believe it, the truth was before his eyes.

Moreover, very soon, Wang Yuanan personally led a team of people to search for his whereabouts on the mountain.

That murderous posture, where he came to save him, was clearly taking the opportunity to take his life!

Fortunately, he just fell down in a ravine covered with weeds due to lack of energy.

Moreover, several of his confidants fled in all directions in order to distract the pursuers for him, but he was not found by his people.

But the hillside is just that big.

Whether it is the enemy army or Wang Yuanan's people, it is only a matter of time before he is found.

At that time, compared with the fear of death, his heart was filled with despair.

Wang Yuan'an was the companion that his mother found for him in the Wang family.

Over the years, he has entered and exited with him, and everything has been done properly, coupled with that layer of blood relatives, he also trusts him very much.

Otherwise, he would not be allowed to participate in such an important plan.

But who ever thought...

In the end, he was the one who betrayed him.

Many of the people Wang Yuanan brought to search him, Sheng Tingye recognized, were the secret guards of the Wang family.

He had seen it in his mother's palace.

At that moment, Sheng Tingye felt desolate in his heart.

If Wang Yuanan's betrayal was equivalent to stabbing him with a knife, then his mother's ruthlessness aimed the knife at his heart.

A suffocating coldness overwhelmed the sky.

He knew that the queen mother treated him harshly and indifferently, far from treating Sheng Tingzhao, but after all, he was his own mother and son, and he never thought that she would kill him.

There were footsteps coming from overhead.

Sheng Tingye closed his eyes.

So be it.

It's good to die on the hillside at the junction of Chu and Qi, and then go back to Beijing to face the monsters and monsters.

The weeds in front of him were pushed aside.

Hearing the movement, he was ready to die.

As expected, the cold and stern sword aura did not strike, but a warm hand clasped his wrist, feeling his pulse.

"Three Highnesses?"

"Three Highnesses?"

In the man's low voice, there was faint anxiety and anxiety.

Seeing that they didn't come to take his life, the desperate Sheng Tingye moved his eyelids.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yong'an Bo Jiang Zhizhou leaning over him.

"How did the Third Highness get hurt like this?"

"Don't move, the officer will stop the bleeding for you first."

He rested his fingers on his veins, his handsome face was full of worry.

Sheng Tingye's mind was already in a state of confusion before he remembered that Jiang Zhizhou was on the list of officials responsible for escorting grain and grass.

He also heard that a few days ago, the military doctors were too busy, and Jiang Zhizhou, who had already handed in an errand and could return to Beijing, took the initiative to stay.

He didn't have the slightest pretense, and together with the military doctors, he took in and treated the wounded.

Sheng Tingye's eyes fell on the bamboo basket that Jiang Zhizhou had just thrown at his feet.

There is already half a basket of herbs in it.

It seemed that he happened to come here to pick herbs, but he ran into him unexpectedly.

Sheng Tingye knew that he was a dying person, and he didn't want to implicate another innocent person, so he moved his lips to tell him to leave.

Jiang Zhizhou was the first to understand his intentions.

"Third Highness, don't be afraid, this place is only one mile away from the barracks, and I wear a banner flag for help."

Speaking of which, he took out the flag flower from his sleeve, and before letting it out, Jiang Zhizhou took another look at Sheng Tingye: "It's just that, in this way, our position is also exposed, and the rest depends on whether the pursuers arrive first or not." Reinforcements have arrived first."

It's a gamble.

But other than that, there was no better way to save him.

Sheng Tingye wanted to say something, but seeing that Jiang Zhizhou had released the flag flower, all his words seemed powerless at this moment.

Jiang Zhizhou turned around and took herbs to do a simple bandage for him to stop the bleeding.

He was badly injured, with bone visible in many places.

In order to divert his attention, Jiang Zhizhou babbled at the side: "The Third Highness is very patient, if it was my girl, she would have started yelling."

Sheng Tingye once heard that Jiang Zhizhou had an only daughter, and he loved her like fate.

Now that he has accepted his favor, he, who has always been reticent, can't help but echo: "It can be seen that the rumors about Mrs. Jiang's love for his daughter are true."

After Jiang Zhizhou heard this, he didn't stop moving his hands, and only sighed: "Unfortunately, I don't know if I can go back to see her alive this time."

Having said that, both of them fell silent.

Fortunately, they were lucky.

Reinforcements arrive first.

However, although he narrowly escaped death, he was discovered to have been hit by the most powerful love gu of the Dongyi tribe.

Even if they defeated the Chu army and captured the elders of the Dongyi tribe, there was nothing they could do.

Because this Gu poison can only be detoxified by the holy object of the Dongyi tribe, the glass fire bead.

But the whereabouts of this glass fire bead was unknown many years ago.

Want to find, easier said than done.

But he didn't give up either.

Just a few months ago, someone suddenly released the news that the glass fire beads were collected by Qingzhou royal family.

Although Wang Chengen died, but based on his past deduction, if he had the glass fire bead, he would most likely give it to the eldest queen Suyi who he regarded as a treasure.

And she is the wife of Yong'an Bo Jiang Zhizhou, but she died of illness a few years ago, leaving only her only daughter Jiang Yuwan.

A few years have passed, the hopeless and helpless young man on the hillside at the junction of the two countries has grown into a cold-hearted man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

But when facing Jiang Zhizhou who had saved his life back then, he softened his heart a little.

Before starting a thorough investigation, he wanted to talk to him first, to clarify the bottom line.

Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable. He just focused his attention on the Jiang family here, and before he had time to invite Jiang Zhizhou to discuss thoroughly, something happened to Jiang Yuwan over there.

At that time, there was no need to talk any more.

If Li Huozhu was really in the Jiang family, even if Jiang Yuwan died innocently and tragically, she would be able to come back from the dead.

However, no.

He took people to the Jiang family's ancestral grave.

I confirmed with my own eyes that the corpse inside was the daughter of the Jiang family's concubine.

Moreover, if the Jiang family had Glass Fire Beads, and Jiang Zhizhou knew about it, then Mrs. Wang would not have died.

Facing the grief-stricken Jiang Zhizhou, Sheng Tingye didn't ask any more questions.

He was determined to find out Jiang Yuwan's death and those who had spread the glass fire beads in Qingzhou Wang's family before.

This news is obviously not only aimed at him.

Because on the night of Jiang Yuwan's first seven days, he met someone sent by his mother in Jiang's family cemetery.

The other party was obviously also looking for the glass fire beads.

These years, he has been hiding the matter of love Gu very well, only his mother has heard some rumors, but he is not very sure, so he has repeatedly tested it.

After knowing the whereabouts of Li Huozhu, with his mother's temperament, no matter whether he was infected with a gu or not, she must send someone to take it away.

Sheng Tingye was not surprised.

However, it was there that she met Shen Qingci.

The dream was shattered, and Sheng Tingye opened his eyes.

The eye was a dazzling red, and his arm was a little heavy.

Sheng Tingye looked down subconsciously, and saw her sitting on the embroidered pier, leaning against the head of the bed, her arm just resting on his, and she was in a deep sleep.

The fragments in memory overlapped with the scene in front of him, and Sheng Tingye was in a trance for a moment.

After a while, he realized that he was already married.

The other party is her.

Somewhere where he was originally empty seemed to be filled with a hot spring, warm and ironing.

But only for a moment.

In the next moment, the spring water that was still warm just now turned into ice thorns, piercing his internal organs with blood dripping pain.

Sheng Tingye choked for breath and didn't dare to think about it.

He hurriedly diverted his attention, pondering along the picture recalled in the dream just now.

After this period of investigation, and the last incident in Qiushui Town, he can already confirm that it was Gu Qiuli and others who scattered the glazed fire beads and were hidden by the Wang family in Qingzhou.

But why?
Gu Qiuli turned everyone's attention to Qingzhou Wang's House and Yong'an Bo's Mansion. After a lot of effort, he only focused on Shen Qingci in the Household Minister's Mansion in the end?
Moreover, he will take her away by any means.

Sheng Tingye has been unable to figure out the relationship between the two.

Just as he was lost in thought, his arm loosened.

Shen Qingci woke up.

She sat up straight with her sore neck, and when she turned her head, she met Sheng Tingye's bottomless black eyes, "Huh? Are you awake?"

While speaking, Shen Qingci touched Sheng Tingye's forehead as soon as he raised his hand.

"Thank God, the fever is gone."

She made this movement calmly and naturally, as if she didn't feel anything wrong at all.

On the other hand, Sheng Tingye looked away unnaturally after her hand left.

"The doctor said that if you continue to burn, you will be in danger. Are you hungry now? Do you want some millet porridge?"

Shen Qingci was about to get up to call the maid, only to realize that not only his arms were numb, but even his legs were twitching from numbness.

"hiss……"

She gasped, bent over and sat back down.

Looking at the silent Sheng Tingye, Shen Qingci tilted his head and looked over: "My lord?"

Thinking of a certain person who was clearly at the end of his strength last night, but still persisted in saying that the wind and snow could do nothing to him, Shen Qingci wanted to laugh.

Originally, she wanted to tease him a few words, but seeing his sleepy look, Shen Qing swallowed the words as they came to her lips.

"It's okay."

Sheng Tingye moved his wrist, propped himself up and sat up.

He looked over Shen Qingci's shoulder and looked at the closed door.

Shen Qingci immediately understood, quickly moved closer, and explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, my lord, the doctor prescribed the medicine last night, and we came back quietly. This morning I told you that you had a cold, and Nanny Gui came to take a look at it." , I sent people down.”

In the eyes of outsiders, he was already seriously injured, and it was reasonable that he would not be able to recover from the worsening of his condition last night due to the "all the troubles" last night.

Sheng Tingye nodded.

He was sick like this, and if he wanted to be fine, he would be suspicious.

It's time for the queen to get the news, so she can't be sure if it's true or not.

Because she wanted to prevent Nanny Gui from eavesdropping, Shen Qingci had to get close to Sheng Tingye when she said these words.

The two were very close, her orchid-like breath lingered in his ears, it was obviously a cool and delicate fragrance, but it seemed like a cluster of small flames were lit there, spreading along his ears all the way to the bottom of his heart.

Sheng Tingye only felt that all the blood in his body was going to be burned.

He subconsciously clenched his fists, turned his head away, and tried his best to suppress his already somewhat disordered breathing: "Stay away from me."

Shen Qingci, who didn't know it, was slightly taken aback.

Seeing how he was avoiding snakes and scorpions towards her, she suddenly understood.

This is despising her!
Immediately, she very consciously backed away, dragging her numb legs back two steps.

Because I was too anxious, I staggered and almost fell.

Although her face was calm, she had already scolded the other party all over in her heart.

Fortunately, she took care of it herself for one night.

Thinking of how he had given up the cloak to her last night, she was still moved.

Originally, he wanted to ease the relationship between the two of them, but now it seems that this person is still as bad as ever.

What's up with her?
Didn't she just get close and say a few words.

But isn't this to guard against Nanny Gui who is almost pricking up her ears outside, does he think she wants to do this!

The more Shen Qingci thought about it, the angrier he became.

Sheng Tingye calmed down a little, and when he turned his head, he caught her expression in his eyes.

His mind moved, and he felt that he should say something.

But before he could speak, he heard Nanny Gui's voice from outside the door.

"Princess, is the prince awake? Imperial doctor Zhao has come to ask the prince for pulse."
