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

Chapter 267 Dead End
Shen Qingci remained silent.

In fact, there is no need to guess at this moment.

Because that iron ride quickly turned into the canyon.

The distance was too far, and the man was tightly surrounded by the guards around him. Before Shen Qingci could see his appearance clearly from the angle of Shen Qingci, the guards on the cliff below had already charged. down.

Those archers have also quietly retracted their arrows.

Therefore, it is self-evident who is coming.

Hearing Sheng Tingzhao's chuckle beside him, Shen Qingci's heart also sank to the bottom.

"I'm going to disappoint my sister-in-law."

Sheng Tingzhao smiled: "The second brother is here."

Seeing that Shen Qingci remained silent, Sheng Tingzhao took a step forward and approached her a little.

"Since the third sister-in-law is unwilling to guess, let me guess what the third sister-in-law is thinking now."

Hearing this, the pale Shen Qingci finally turned to look at him.

Today, she is wearing a moon-white skirt and a plain velvet embroidered jacket. Her black hair is simply tied into a bun with three silver hairpins.

Even if she was dressed in a simple attire, if she just stood there, she would be stunning in the world, and the wind and snow in the world were all reduced to a foil.

But such a woman belongs to his third brother both physically and mentally.

Sheng Tingzhao's eyes were dark, and even though there was a fight going on right below them, he chatted with Shen Qingci as if nothing happened, "I think the third sister-in-law must be trying to catch me by surprise now."

Facing Sheng Tingzhao who was getting closer and closer, Shen Qingci refused to evade, and only sneered: "Since that's the case, His Highness the Fifth Highness is still so confident? Do you really think I won't kill you?"

Hearing this, Sheng Tingzhao burst out laughing.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "If I can die at the hands of the third sister-in-law, it will be my blessing."

As he spoke, he spread his hands towards Shen Qingci, as if standing there and letting her beat him to death.

Just as Shen Qingci was about to take a step forward, his body staggered, almost unsteady.

Seeing her distressed appearance hurriedly supporting the cedar tree trunk, Sheng Tingzhao said, "I advise the third sister-in-law to save energy, and if she persists, the poison will enter the lungs, but even the gods can't save it."

Shen Qingci's complexion was pale, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at the place where the tea table was just placed.

Sheng Tingzhao smiled at the side: "Sister-in-law San is vigilant and didn't drink the tea, but the tea is indeed non-poisonous. I just added something to the stove, which can just hook the cedar poison in sister-in-law San's body."

The poison was released with the heat from the tea making, and it was unavoidable.

It may not have any effect on others, but for Shen Qingci, who was poisoned by cedarwood, the feeling of severe pain all over his body will be worse than when he was first poisoned by cedarwood, and his limbs will be sore and weak, with no internal energy.

"How about it, isn't it a bit uncomfortable now?"

Sheng Tingzhao said proudly: "After all, I have seen Sister-in-law San's skills with my own eyes. If I don't take precautions against you, how dare I let you get close to me."

Shen Qingci supported a cedar tree to stabilize his figure, and after wiping off the blood on the corner of his mouth with one hand, he looked at him coldly and said, "Your Highness Fifth is tricky."

Sheng Tingzhao smiled, he wanted to come forward to hold Shen Qingci's hand, but Shen Qingci threw him away.

He was not annoyed, and still said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, third sister-in-law, not only am I reluctant to kill you, but I will take good care of you for my third brother in the future."

The word "take care" almost made Shen Qingci spit out the last night's meal.

Just at this moment, a notification broke the deadlock between the two.

"Your Highness, the man has already taken it."

Sheng Tingjing fled all the way back from Luofengpo, and he didn't bring many people with him. In addition, he was ambushed in the canyon again, so he was captured by Sheng Tingzhao's men just at this moment.

Shen Qingci followed the sound, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Sheng Tingjing who was being held up with his hands and feet bound.

Where does he still have the slightest bit of unruliness in the past.

The brocade long gown had lost its original color.

Although I couldn't see where the specific injuries were, the blood stains on his body looked extremely scary.

Danfeng, who always had a smile in the past, no longer had the slightest sparkle in her eyes. When she saw Sheng Tingzhao, she was surprised, but she quickly realized that the rest was gnashing of hatred.

But when those eyes inadvertently caught Shen Qingci standing behind Sheng Tingzhao, he was startled again.

"Why are you here?!"

When he said this, Sheng Tingjing's cold eyes were fixed on Shen Qingci.

That look seemed a little surprised, a little nervous, and with a nameless anger.

Unexpectedly, in this situation, he didn't question Sheng Tingzhao when he opened his mouth, but Shen Qingci.

Before Shen Qingci could utter a word, Sheng Tingzhao who was on the side was already smiling, and answered for her first: "Of course I'm here to collect third brother's body."

Sheng Tingjing is not a fool, everything that happened today, coupled with Sheng Tingzhao's words, immediately made him think of a scheme, but why she came to collect Sheng Tingye's body, Sheng Tingjing didn't realize it for a while.

But Sheng Tingzhao pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah! By the way, the second brother may not recognize her yet, she is the third sister-in-law."

As soon as the words fell, Sheng Tingjing felt as if struck by lightning.

The little maid who was obsequious by his side before turned out to be Shen Qingci!
It's not that he didn't doubt it, but he didn't see any clues on that face, it was just that he looked alike.

Moreover, because he doubted her motive and identity, he tried again and again, but the result was that there was no problem without exception.

But now I come to tell him... the woman in front of me is not a substitute for him to vent, but her true self!
Think of all the previous ones.

For a moment, Sheng Tingjing's heart was full of mixed feelings, and under the rush of fire, blood surged from his lungs to his throat.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, tilted his head, and passed out from anger.

Seeing this situation, instead of being worried at all, Sheng Tingzhao said to Shen Qingci pretending to be sorry: "Second brother's ability to bear this is too bad."

Shen Qingci gave him a blank look, as if he was too lazy to argue with him.

Sheng Tingzhao smiled: "Third sister-in-law, don't look at me like this, don't you want to hear the news of second brother's death with your own eyes?"

Shen Qingci's face turned pale, and finally turned to look at him.

The smile in Sheng Tingzhao's eyes was even bigger, he raised his hand and hooked a hidden guard who had just come back on horseback.

The man immediately took a step forward, knelt down and said: "If you go back to His Highness, the subordinate is incompetent and failed to bring back King Ning's body."

With just one sentence, Sheng Tingzhao's face darkened slightly.

A little bit of hope suddenly rose in Shen Qingci's heart.

But in the next moment, that hope was crushed again.

Because the hidden guard said again: "The subordinates and others chased and killed King Ning to the Luofengpo Pass. King Ning was hit by several arrows and fell into the glacier. The subordinates have not recovered the body yet, but..."

Speaking of this, the secret guard paused, and before Sheng Tingzhao got angry, he gritted his teeth and bowed: "This subordinate can conclude that King Ning will definitely die. An arrow was shot in his heart, and it was shot by this subordinate."

Sheng Tingzhao's originally cold face regained some warmth and a smile.

He turned to look at Shen Qingci, and said proudly: "Sister-in-law San, did you hear that?"

Shen Qingci still didn't say a word.

Sheng Tingzhao's cynicism seemed to hit the cotton, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed.

What he said next was a bit more mocking than before: "I think the third sister-in-law will not shed tears when she sees the coffin, and when I ask someone to salvage his body, let's see if the third sister-in-law can still be as calm as she is now. "

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly smiled brightly at Shen Qingci: "Or, the third sister-in-law doesn't have any feelings for my third brother. Whether he lives or dies, the third sister-in-law doesn't care at all?"

Shen Qingci still didn't say a word, he just supported the cedar tree and panted heavily.

She was pale and seemed to be in a very bad state.

After Sheng Tingzhao got angry, he suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, I forgot, the third sister-in-law can still stand up without crying out in pain, I'm afraid she has used up all her self-sustaining power."

"Want an antidote?"

Sheng Tingzhao turned his wrist, and suddenly there was a vermilion pill in his palm.

He tossed the pill up high with a wicked sense of humor, then casually caught it with his hands, and looked at Shen Qingci with a smile: "As long as the third sister-in-law begs me, I have an antidote that can temporarily suppress your pain."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Qingci's legs softened, as if he couldn't hold it anymore, he fell directly to the ground.

But she still didn't intend to give in to Sheng Tingzhao.

Seeing this, Sheng Tingzhao, who was still keeping a distance of three feet away from her, couldn't help but take a step forward, walked to her side and looked down at her who fell down at his feet.

"Sister-in-law three, why bother?"

"He who understands current affairs is a brilliant man. Third sister-in-law is so smart, she probably doesn't even understand this truth."

"While I still have the mind to joke with you, if you don't know how to flatter..."

"If the only antidote is gone, within half an hour, the third sister-in-law will bleed to death from seven orifices, have you figured it out?"

Having said that, Sheng Tingzhao raised his hand holding the pill, as if to throw it out.

In the next moment, Shen Qingci's trembling raised hand grabbed the corner of his wide sleeve.

Seeing this, Sheng Tingzhao laughed.

However, before the smile at the corner of his mouth spread completely, Shen Qingci's hand, which was still limply holding the corner of his clothes just now, suddenly pulled him down with an astonishing explosive force that came from nowhere!
Sheng Tingzhao knew better than anyone else how powerful the poison was, as he had been with the Queen since he was a child and had seen too many what happened to the hidden guards who were poisoned by cedar.

So he was sure that Shen Qingci's current situation was no different from the fish on the chopping board, plus there were so many expert guards around him, and the overall situation was settled, he was in a state of excitement, so he relaxed his vigilance for a while.

Never thought that Shen Qingci was caught off guard!

Sheng Tingzhao couldn't dodge in time, he raised his foot and was about to kick Shen Qingci who was beside him, but before he could lift his leg, a sharp pain suddenly gushed out from his heart.

Not only that, he was immersed in the great joy of the success of the plan before, and his attention was all on Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingjing, and he didn't notice when his body changed.

The kick at this time was like stepping on cotton, and it had no deterrent effect at all.

Moreover, Shen Qingci never gave him the chance to kick her.

While pulling his body heavily in front of her, she had already stabbed the hairpin that had been hidden in her palm with the wide sleeves as a cover towards his thigh.

Sheng Tingzhao suffered from pain, his legs went limp, he fell to the ground before he had time to struggle, Shen Qingci jumped forward, and the hairpin tightly held in his hand was already placed in his heart.

Her other hand wrapped around his neck.

With both approaches, Sheng Tingzhao couldn't move at all.

All this happened in an instant.

Not to mention Sheng Tingzhao's hidden guards, even Sheng Tingzhao himself has not realized that his life and death are already in the hands of Shen Qingci.

But he still said confidently: "Sister-in-law three, if you kill me, you won't survive."

"Not to mention that you can't get out of here, even cedar poison can kill you."

When he said this, Sheng Tingzhao had already raised his hand and threw the pill towards the nearest hidden guard.

Seeing this, Shen Qingci sneered: "It doesn't matter, my life is worth it if I can pull such an honorable Fifth Highness as a backing."

In fact, the cedar poison had already been cured by her special body.

Therefore, she had already noticed that there was something wrong with the heat from the tea stove, but she chose to keep her face and follow her plan.

Sheng Tingzhao didn't know that her body was almost invulnerable to all poisons.

He plotted against her with poison, but it was in her arms.

She gritted her teeth without saying a word, and Sheng Tingzhao believed in her pretending to be strong, so she naturally relaxed her vigilance against her.

However, this move was a bit risky, after all, she was not sure that Sheng Tingzhao would approach her proactively and let her find a good opportunity to succeed in one fell swoop.

What's more, the guards around him are all top experts, once her intentions are discovered, they will fall short.

However, she is not the only trick.

Shen Qingci's words finally made the smile on Sheng Tingzhao's face unbearable.

He suddenly frowned, gritted his teeth and stared at Shen Qingci: "What did you do to me?"

Suddenly, it was as if thousands of ants were gnawing on his lungs, and the piercing pain made him almost lose his mind.

As soon as he spoke, he was already sweating from the pain, and even his outer shirt was about to be soaked.

Shen Qingci turned his head and glanced at the guards who had surrounded her and were ready to kill them at any time, and said with a sneer: "It's useless even if you rush up to kill me now, your highness has been poisoned by my unique poison, if you don't My prescription will bleed to death from the seven orifices within three days!"

These words not only shocked the guards who were ready to move, but even Sheng Tingzhao's body froze.

He gritted his teeth and said, "When did you poison me?"

Hearing this, the corners of Shen Qingci's mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile as bright as clouds.

"Why, His Highness Xu Wu poisoned me, and I'm not allowed to reciprocate?"

Sheng Tingzhao got angry.

At this moment, even Shen Qingci's hairpin was already attached to his chest, which could kill him at any time, and he couldn't care less about it.

Because the piercing pain once again spread from all limbs.

His hands and feet were so painful that he couldn't help but curl up together.

Taking advantage of the effort to intimidate the guards, Shen Qingci did not hesitate at all, she raised her hand and pulled off Sheng Tingzhao's belt, and tied his hands and feet together neatly.

Then, in front of the dumbfounded guards who dared not move at all, he dragged Sheng Tingzhao to Sheng Tingjing, who had passed out before, like carrying a sack.

Shen Qingci ignored everyone's eyes that were about to roll out, stepped on the backs of the two brothers one by one, and said coldly: "If you want them to live, just do as I say."
