Chapter 672: Cuscuta Cousin 35 Double Update 1
"Prince Xiao?"
Suddenly, a hesitant voice sounded.
Xiao Ye Ze then realized that there was someone there. He didn't care that the voice sounded familiar. He endured the severe pain and weakness all over his body, and instantly grasped his sword and looked towards the source of the sound vigilantly.
Then, he saw an unexpected person.
Not far away, the woman in the green dress was standing among the green grass. She was holding a flower basket in one hand and holding the tender green branches in front of her with the other hand. She seemed unsure whether she had recognized the wrong person. She did not come forward, but just looked at him with doubt, alertness and confusion.
"Ms. Shen...Ms. Shen..."
The moment Xiao Ye Ze saw Sheng Huan, his voice became hoarser than ever. He almost forgot the pain and wanted to stand up immediately. However, his body was in severe pain and he had no strength at all. During the movement, his sword made a "clang" sound and he couldn't even hold it steadily and it fell to the ground.
"Prince Xiao, it's really you!"
Sheng Huan "finally" saw the man's face clearly and was sure that he was not mistaken. Then, seeing how weak he looked, he was horrified and hurried over.
As soon as she came over, she supported the man's staggering body: "Master Xiao, Master Xiao, what's wrong with you?!"
The man almost leaned on Sheng Huan. He was sweating profusely, but his body temperature was terribly cold. When Sheng Huan supported him, it was as if he was holding an ice cellar.
"Shen..." Xiao Ye Ze's consciousness was almost unclear.
Sheng Huan frowned slightly and touched the man's pulse inconspicuously. As she did so, a trace of spiritual power quickly disappeared into the man's body.
"This...is dangerous." Xiao Ye Ze didn't know what was going on. His lips were cracked and he pressed his aching temple: "Don't worry about me, just go."
Those killers obviously wanted to kill him. No one knew whether his subordinates could completely lead that group of people away. If they failed, and let that group of killers rush over here, the consequences would be disastrous and would also implicate Miss Shen.
Thinking of this, he wanted to push Sheng Huan away, but as soon as he moved, everything went dark in front of his eyes!
"Prince Xiao!"
Before Xiao Ye Ze fell into coma, he only heard the woman's anxious voice. His heart was filled with worry, but he eventually lost consciousness completely.
-
After Xiao Ye Ze fell into a coma, Sheng Huan felt his pulse again.
"Prince Xiao?"
It seems that this man has been poisoned since his mother's womb and has penetrated deep into his bone marrow. If nothing unexpected happens, he will not live for more than three years.
She supported him, listened to the information conveyed by the cattail flowers in the wind, and took him in another direction.
Although Xiao Ye Ze was unconscious, he actually still had some perception.
He clearly knew that the woman had not given up on him and had been supporting him, moving away little by little.
Perhaps because the danger had been keeping him on edge, his eyes opened slightly.
The man lowered his eyes, and in his dim gaze he saw the woman's pale, tense little face. Her frail body and delicate white wrists formed a sharp contrast with his, yet... so steady.
Sheng Huan had no idea what Xiao Ye Ze was thinking until he arrived in front of a farm and sensed Furong's trace.
She finally stopped and helped Xiao Ye Ze sit down against a big tree.
Seeing the man's face covered in cold sweat, her obsessive-compulsive disorder started to act up. After thinking for a while, she kindly took a handkerchief to wipe his face and used some spiritual power to remove the poison from his body.
But the poison was too deep to be removed in such a short time.
When the woman's handkerchief fell lightly on his face, Xiao Ye Ze's long eyelashes moved slightly, as if it was an illusion.
"girl!"
Just then, a loud shout was heard.
Sheng Huan turned around and saw Furong.
Furong was extremely happy when she saw her master from a distance, but when she got closer, she finally discovered that there was an unconscious stranger man, and she was shocked.
"Girl, this guy, what's going on with this guy?" Furong still recognized Xiao Ye Ze, and because of that, she was even more frightened.
"I was just over there picking flowers and saw him." Sheng Huan said calmly, "He looked like he was injured and hasn't woken up yet."
"Girl, then, what should we do now?" Although this is Prince Xiao, he is also a foreign man.
"We can't leave an unconscious person here. It's easy for him to get into danger. It would be even worse if he encounters a wild beast." Sheng Huan thought for a moment and said, "Go back and tell your aunt. She will find a way."
"Miss, then you..." Furong gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, I don't know what happened to Master Xiao. It would be too dangerous for you to stay here. Why don't you go back with me?"
Sheng Huan heard this, looked at her, and said seriously: "Furong, he saved me."
She smiled lightly: "It's okay, this place is very close to the village, just bring your aunt over quickly."
Furong had nothing to say, although she still didn't know when Master Xiao had saved her daughter.
-
In Zhuangzi.
After Madam Fu arranged for the servants to take care of Xiao Ye Ze, she patted Sheng Huan's hand with a serious expression.
"Prince Xiao is in danger. It seems that this place is not very safe."
Madam Fu didn't suspect anything was going on between Sheng Huan and Xiao Ye Ze. She just thought her niece was doing a good deed by going out to pick flowers.
"Fortunately, our Ying'er is fine." She took off the flower petals that had been stuck on Sheng Huan's hair. "We won't stay here tonight. We'll go back home soon."
Mrs. Fu thought that she had originally wanted to stay at the farm for one more day to deal with some things, but after something like this happened, it would not be safe here. And the person who could hurt Xiao Ye Ze like this must not be an ordinary person, so she did not dare to bet on any possibility.
Sheng Huan nodded: "Aunt, then Prince Xiao..."
Madam Fu II patted her niece's head and said, "I have sent a letter to Duke Xiao's mansion. I believe that someone will come to pick him up soon."
-
A little later.
Xiao Ye Ze woke up, and as soon as he woke up, he saw an unfamiliar environment and a strange room.
At first glance, this room is obviously a guest room.
"Prince, you're finally awake!" Mo Tian was so excited to see Xiao Ye Ze wake up that he almost cried for joy.
"Where...is this?"
Xiao Ye Ze stood up and looked around. When he didn't see anyone, his expression changed drastically: "Where's Miss Shen?!"
Mo Tian quickly supported him and said, "Sir, this is the manor of Miss Shen's aunt, General Fu's wife."
"General Fu's wife?"
Xiao Ye Ze breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that she was fine too.
After everything was relaxed, Xiao Ye Ze found that his body, which would have been in pain for almost the entire night after the poison took effect in the past, now only felt a slight dull pain. This pain was not severe and was nothing compared to the past.
What's going on? He wondered.
Mo Tian nodded: "My Lord, it's a good thing that you are okay, otherwise I would not be able to rest in peace even if I died."
"Luckily, we have Miss Shen. If Miss Shen hadn't discovered the unconscious prince while picking flowers and called for help, I wouldn't dare to think..."
"Miss Shen..."
When Xiao Ye Ze heard Mo Tian's words, he unconsciously murmured these three words. In his mind, the figure vaguely appeared again.
Thinking of her, his heart was filled with unknown emotions, his whole heart was full, as if something was about to overflow.
Not only that, Xiao Ye Ze, who had regained all his senses, felt that he smelled fragrant, as if he had been stained with the fragrance of the woman.
He shouldn't have thought too much about it, but a picture had already appeared in his mind. At that time, he seemed to be leaning against the woman... very close, so close that only clothes blocked him... Although he knew that it was a special situation, but, but...
The more he thought about it, the man felt his right shoulder, which had once been leaning on the woman, suddenly become hot.
"Prince, the carriage has been arranged." Mo Tian looked at the unpredictable expression of his own prince, not daring to look at him, and whispered: "Those assassins..."
These killers who dared to plot against their masters must pay the price.
Xiao Ye Ze's peach blossom eyes deepened and flashed with a hint of coldness, but he had other things to do now.
The man got off the bed and said softly, "Go and thank them first."
As for who he was thanking, Xiao Ye Ze did not say.
-
main hall.
Madam Fu Er and Xiao Ye Ze were talking.
"Thank you Madam for taking me in... and Miss Shen for your help this time." When Xiao Ye Ze faced Madam Fu Er, he looked around inconspicuously. After finding that Sheng Huan was really gone, he hid his disappointment and said, "If there is anything you need from me in the future, I will do my best to help you."
"You don't have to be polite, Master Xiao. It's just a small favor." Madam Fu said in a very official manner: "Since your pick-up person is here, I won't keep you any longer."
Xiao Ye Ze bowed and said, "I am sorry for disturbing you. I will come to thank you another day. Goodbye."
When Xiao Ye Ze left, he faintly heard Madam Fu talking to the servants behind him.
"Go check if my cousin has packed her things. If she has, we'll go back later."
Xiao Ye Ze walked out the door, feeling depressed.
In the end, he still didn't see Sheng Huan.
-
Sheng Huan is busy here.
She had no idea that Xiao Ye Ze had already left. As for his thanks, Madam Fu didn't send anyone to find her, so she naturally didn't go.
"Girl, you have to take all these things with you."
"Well, take them all with you." Sheng Huan nodded: "Otherwise, I don't know when I will come to the village next time."
-
The carriage slowly moved on the way to Duke Fu's mansion.
Along the way, Sheng Huan held Madam Fu's hand and chatted with her.
"Our Ying'er is such a caring person. Fortunately, your aunt has you by her side."
Sheng Huan laughed and leaned against Madam Fu's neck and said coquettishly: "Aunt is so good. To be honest, Ying'er is lucky to have an aunt."
She smiled sweetly, and at some point, the car curtain was blown up by the wind.
The beautiful woman's smile is so charming that it happens to be seen by someone.
-
Inn, guest rooms.
The fifth prince clapped his folding fan and said, "That's the cousin of Duke Fu?"
"That's right." Ji Yunxiu retracted his gaze and nodded.
"She is quite pretty." The fifth prince looked at Ji Yunxiu jokingly: "No wonder Yunxiu's wife is always jealous of her."
Ji Yunxiu didn't understand what the Fifth Prince was going to do. Hearing this, he could only laugh awkwardly: "This kind of thing is really insulting to Your Highness' ears."
"No." The fifth prince opened his folding fan and said, "Yun Xiu, I heard that the general's wife particularly loves this niece. What do you think, if the emperor also likes her, how about..."
Ji Yunxiu's expression froze: "Your Highness?"
What exactly did the Fifth Prince mean by this?
The fifth prince smiled, looking like he was enjoying the fun: "Recently, Imperial Concubine Fu seems to be particularly dissatisfied with me. I don't know how I have offended her."
"I have heard that they have a deep bond as sisters. Yun Xiu, tell me, if they all became our father's concubines, would it be... very lively?"
This Qianqiu Banquet is destined to be extraordinary. Since it is going to be chaotic, it is better to make it a complete chaos and kill several birds with one stone.
"By then, Duke Fu's mansion might be in chaos..."
When the harem is in turmoil, there are obviously many opportunities to take advantage of. Ji Yunxiu bowed and said, "Your Highness is wise."
The fifth prince remained silent, and said meaningfully: "Your wife might also be happy to see this. Then, your backyard will be quiet."
Both of them are smart people and they stop at the right point.
Ji Yunxiu was thinking, if Song Yuwan was upset, wouldn’t it be better for her to tell him what happened?
I don't know where she got some of the information from.
-
Ji family.
After Ji Yunxiu returned home, he mentioned the matters of Duke Fu's Mansion many times, intentionally or unintentionally.
"I just happened to see the carriage of Duke Fu's mansion today, but I don't know where it's going..."
"Ji Yunxiu!" Song Yuwan endured for a long time, and finally got angry: "Are you going to mention Duke Fu's Mansion or Shen Huiying?!"
Ji Yunxiu was stunned: "Wan'er, you misunderstood me."
"How could I misunderstand you? Count carefully how many times you mentioned her when you came back today!"
"Wan'er, you really misunderstood. Isn't the Qianqiu Banquet coming soon? I suddenly thought of..."
Ji Yunxiu sighed: "Hey, Wan'er, you and Miss Shen were so close in the past. From what I saw, you were even closer than Concubine Fu."
"Now, everything has been reversed. I'm afraid that even if Miss Shen enters the palace, given her relationship with Concubine Fu, the two of them will continue to be the same as usual." Ji Yunxiu sighed.
Song Yuwan was stunned when he heard this.
But she didn't say anything. Ji Yunxiu looked at her and finally concealed the disappointment in his eyes.
-
Duke Fu’s Mansion, Snow Pavilion.
Sheng Huan paused while eating.
"Miss?" Furong saw Sheng Huan didn't want to eat anymore, so she stepped forward worriedly: "But the food doesn't suit your taste?"
Sheng Huan shook his head: "I just thought of some unpleasant things."
The fifth prince? Haha.
Sheng Huan sneered in his heart, if he dared to plot against her, then the one sleeping in Emperor Zhenghua's bed would be his own son!
-
Duke Xiao’s Mansion.
study.
Duke Xiao looked at his son whose complexion had improved.
"You look much better."
Xiao Ye Ze nodded: "I've taken the medicine and I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, father."
Seeing that he was indeed fine, Duke Xiao straightened his face and said, "The emperor seems to be in good health recently, but..." He paused, "Some of the princes are not so well."
When Xiao Ye Ze heard this, a smile appeared in his evil peach blossom eyes, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Father, the person who harmed me this time, the clue points to the Third Prince's Mansion."
This clue was too easy to find. There was obviously something fishy going on, but it was definitely related to the other princes.
Duke Xiao: "The capital has not been peaceful recently. The Emperor's Thousand Years Banquet is probably going to be a big deal. You should just tell the public that you are recovering from your injuries."
"Yeah." Xiao Ye Ze nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."
"Oh, right." Thinking of something, Duke Xiao asked, "Has Jin Mo contacted you recently?"
