Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 4
Li Ying was almost shocked. The girl in front of her was standing here weakly, but her thoughtfulness was unbelievable!
Jiang Li said flatly: "If we get out of danger by chance this time, I hope Guard Li will not tell the story."

"Why?!" Li Ying asked rhetorically, the girl in front of her was clearly talented, rare in the world, how could she be willing to hide her clumsiness?

Jiang Li didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

Under such a quiet gaze, he couldn't help lowering his head and said, "Yes, Princess."

After a short rest, the convoy started moving again.

After the sun shines, the snow on the road has almost melted, and everyone's footsteps are also speeding up.

In the evening, the undulating Wenjun Mountain appeared in front of everyone.

Looking from inside the carriage, Jiang Li saw two jagged green hills facing each other. In the twilight, there was a sharp knife like a knife. But opposite the two mountains, there was a narrow passage. If someone laid an ambush on the mountain, it would almost be considered a Impossible to escape.

Li Ying's heart tightened, he grabbed the reins tightly, and then rode the horse to clear the way.

There are only two hundred people in their group, and they are not counted as girls and women, and they are in a disadvantaged position. If they really encounter a trap, it is impossible to escape.

So, now, I can only take a gamble as Jiang Li said.

He looked back and saw the girl opened the curtain, revealing a calm face, his heart suddenly settled, and then entered.

Even he himself didn't realize that he seemed to regard that weak girl as his spiritual support.

Entering Wenjun Mountain, the original coldness has also turned into a chilly air, and a deadly air rushes straight up, which makes people's hearts tremble.

His eyes swept across the dark corner, but he caught a gray hand bone all of a sudden, his body froze, he hurriedly calmed down, and quickened his pace.

The murmur of the convoy reverberated in the narrow mountain road, and the sound was heart-wrenching.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the convoy entered the middle. Li Ying knew that this position was the most dangerous. As long as those thieves threw boulders on it and cut off their path, they would have nowhere to escape.

He felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and when he was extremely vigilant, there was a sudden noise above his head!
A group of black shadows suddenly fell down!

He drew his knife violently, and shouted subconsciously: "Protect the princess!"

But the black shadow made a straight circle in the middle of the dive, and then flew out with a "swoosh".

Turns out, it's just a flock of tired birds flying.

Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help feeling embarrassed, but the false alarm just now relieved the extreme tension a lot. He straightened his back, and then walked out of the canyon.

It was only when the whole convoy left the valley without incident that Li Ying let go of his hand. The hand holding the rein was covered in cold sweat, and his inner shirt was soaked and stuck to his back, profusely sweating.

They also became the first team in three years to pass through Wenjun Mountain without incident.

After evening, they accelerated their pace again and finally arrived at a small town in Chu State after walking forty miles within two hours.

In the dead of night, there were still two figures crossing each other by the corner of the wall in the yard.

"Is everything ready?"

"Of course, it was given by the second wife. I expected that the thief mountain would take advantage of the chaos and make the girl, but nothing happened. Are all the thieves dead?"

"Keep your voice down. This poison is a secret recipe of the palace. I heard that Concubine Wan Gui died on it, and even the gods can't save it. Be careful."

"That cheap girl cares about what she does, the second lady worries too much."

"After all, he still bears the reputation of being the concubine of the Hou Mansion. If one day the Lord Hou thinks of giving things to her, wouldn't it be the end of everything? Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. Is it easy to poison?"

"That bitch will drink a cup of tea every night, don't worry."

The sound gradually disappeared, and the darkness shrouded again.

Ziyu came out of Jiangli's room, still holding a tray in her hand.

When he first entered, Jiang Li went to take a bath and was waited on by others. There was only Qing Ge in the room, and it seemed that he had to wait.

She lingered outside the door for a while, and when she turned her eyes, she saw Jiang Li coming through the moon gate next to her. She hid hurriedly and watched Jiang Li enter the house accompanied by another girl. Jiang Li called the girl to leave , and then went in and closed the door.

Ziyu's heart was tense. Although this weak and incompetent girl punished A Xing on the way, she actually smashed Yu Guanyin in front of her.
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of cups breaking, and then only heard the voice of Jiangli from inside the house.

"Come on people!"

Ziyu was overjoyed - it was done!
Satisfied, she turned and left, thinking that the next step would be to wait for her body to be carried to the capital.

She returned to her room happily, then sat in front of the mirror, then raised her head, and began to take off her hat, earrings, and pearls and silver hairpins.

After completing this matter and returning to the Hou Mansion, the second wife will hire her to the third young master as his aunt.

She wasn't worried about being found out. All the doctors in the Imperial Hospital tried all their methods and failed to find out the drug. She didn't believe that this remote villager could find the poison from the tea.

Just as she pretended to fall on the bed, she was dragged up by the maid who rushed in, and said anxiously: "You are still sleeping, you have fallen out before, someone has been poisoned, now you breathe more and breathe less. Hurry up!" Go help."

Ziyu gave her a look, then stood up reluctantly, put on her clothes and walked out slowly.

When they got to the front yard, they found that there were people surrounded by circles. Li Ying stood there anxiously and kept looking at the door, obviously waiting for the doctor.

Ziyu sneered in her heart, straightened her clothes, and saw a person lying on the couch next to her, she didn't dare to ignore him and threw herself on it, tears streaming down her face, and cried out sadly.

"My lady, why are you like this?"

"What's wrong with me?"

This is the voice of Jiang Gracilaria!

Ziyu's whole body froze, and she suddenly raised her head, only to see Jiang Gracilaria squatting next to her, her eyes widened in shock: "Why do you..."

She reacted and hurriedly shut her mouth, then turned her head to look at the couch, only to see that Qing Ge was lying on the couch!

That tea didn't poison Jiang Li, but it only poisoned her girl!

She gritted her teeth secretly, looked up, but suddenly met a pair of clear eyes, those eyes were too calm, as if she knew everything.
