065 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” poisoning
byAfter Yan Zhaozhao said this sentence in a daze, she shed tears helplessly. The fear and grievance of death in her heart were infinitely magnified, and she burst into tears.
The man in front of her who was like an illusion looked even more anxious, and then she felt her body suddenly lighten up, as if she was being held in the arms of Xie Ciyan’s illusion in front of her.Yan Zhaozhao had always longed to see Xie Ciyan in her heart, and she didn’t notice anything wrong with being held in his arms.
“Zhaozhao, don’t cry.” Xie Ciyan raised his hand and kept wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his voice hoarse, unable to conceal his distress.”You won’t die, I’m here.”
But how could Yan Zhaozhao listen to these words at this time, thinking that Xie Ciyan in front of her was just an illusion she had before her death, and she even used her inner words as her last words to speak to the man in front of her.”Thank you Ciyan. When I die, don’t bury me in the royal mausoleum. I want to be buried with you… Wuwu, you said… we will live in the same quilt and die in the same cave.”
She hugged the waist of the man in front of her tightly, and her crying voice was so pitiful. Xie Ciyan felt that his heart was suddenly held by a hand, and the force became tighter and tighter, as if it was going to crush his heart.”Can you promise me…”
Xie Ciyan felt distressed and helpless. It was true that they wanted to live in the same quilt and die in the same hole, but it was definitely not at this time.He spoke softly to coax the woman in his arms who was even thinner than before, “Zhaozhao and I will definitely be buried together in the future, but that will happen in the future. Zhaozhao will not die now.”
“You lied… Wuwu, Yan, Yan Bing… came to ask for my life…” She was frightened and afraid, fearing that the ghost would appear somewhere in the next second to scare her and kill her.”I see her coming to me every night… so, so scary…”
The tears flowing from the corners of her eyes became more and more violent. Xie Ciyan couldn’t wipe them away, so he lowered his head and kissed her tears away one by one.”No, that’s all false. Zhao Zhao won’t die.” He stroked the top of her hair with a gentle tone, “As long as I am here, she will never appear again.”
Yan Zhaozhao was in a daze, and so far she had not realized that the Xie Ciyan in front of her was not an illusion. Her twinkling eyes showed a bit of confusion, and she asked uncertainly, “Really, really?”
“Really.” Xie Ciyan’s voice was gentle but extremely firm, which immediately made Yan Zhaozhao believe it, and she seemed not to be so scared anymore.”Zhaozhao, just take a nap and you’ll be fine when you wake up.”
I felt a lot more at ease in my heart, and my breath was filled with the delicious fragrance of Xie Ciyan.At that moment, overwhelming fatigue invaded her. Yan Zhaozhao’s eyelids drooped and became heavier and heavier, but she subconsciously pinched her thigh.”No, no… you can’t sleep. Yan Bin will come to me if you fall asleep…”
Seeing her pinching him, Xie Ciyan’s eyes darkened and his knuckles suddenly tightened, but his voice was still gentle and tender, “No, Zhao Zhao sleeps peacefully, I will always be with Zhao Zhao.”
After receiving these reassuring words, Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t help feeling sleepy anymore, tilted her head and fell asleep in Xie Ciyan’s arms.
The man was worried that she would not sleep well, so he did not lay her down on the bed. He only gently moved his body so that the woman could sleep more comfortably in his arms. His big palm patted her back gently and regularly, seeming to coax her to sleep and comfort her.
Xie Ciyan lowered his eyes and glanced at Yan Zhaozhao with tenderness. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he slowly turned his head and his eyes swept across Bi Luo, who was kneeling on the ground and also looked worried. She had not dared to say anything because she was afraid of disturbing her mother-in-law’s rest.”What’s going on?”
He just returned to the palace today before leaving the palace gate. As soon as he returned to Jinyuan, Bi Luo hurriedly asked to see Yan Zhaozhao that something had happened.At that moment, Xie Ciyan’s head went blank for a moment, and he immediately walked in the direction of Fengyi Palace. After taking two steps, he felt that he was walking too slowly, so he jumped into the night and came to Fengyi Palace hidden in the night.
He saw Yan Zhaozhao’s thin body leaning on the bed, her eyes without any light, like a ceramic doll that had lost its soul, and would break if touched.Xie Ciyan’s hand that touched her trembled a little, as if even his breathing was bone-chillingly cold.
Bi Luo spoke in a very soft voice, “My Majesty has not been able to sleep well for several days. At first, I thought your Majesty was just having an ordinary nightmare, but then I started to be unable to sleep all night long. As soon as I fell asleep, I would have nightmares.” She paused for a moment, and then continued: “I gave your Majesty some soothing tea, and also asked the imperial doctor to come and see her, but not only did I not get better, but it even got worse, and I didn’t even dare to sleep anymore.”
Xie Ciyan’s eyes became more serious, and he couldn’t suppress the gloom in his chest when he thought of the suffering she had suffered these days.”Have you checked the meals?”
He didn’t believe that there would be any evil ghosts in this world who would seek their lives. Xie Ciyan had killed countless people over the years. If there had been such a thing, he wouldn’t be in this world now, and there would be no need for Dali Temple to resolve the case. All he needed was for those innocent souls to come back and take revenge.
The only possibility is that someone is harming her, and the easiest thing to get is food.
Bi Luo shook her head, “My Lady had suspected that someone was trying to harm her before. When I asked the imperial doctor to check my pulse, I also asked him to take a look at the meals my Lady ate. There were no abnormalities. The furnishings and objects in the palace are the same as before. They have not been replaced, and nothing is hidden.”
Hearing this, Xie Ciyan couldn’t help but frown.On the surface, there seems to be nothing unusual, which is the biggest suspicion. It’s just that the people behind the scenes are extremely clever and do it in a way that no one can tell.
The woman in her arms moved slightly, her hands seemed to be struggling, and she began to mutter something.Xie Ciyan’s heart trembled, and he quickly took out a small white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill and fed it to Yan Zhaozhao.
The next second, Yan Zhaozhao, who was still struggling, stopped moving. He tightly grasped the robe around Xie Ciyan’s waist with both hands and fell asleep again.
“Your Highness the Regent, this is…” Seeing that his wife no longer had nightmares, Bi Luo looked happy, and looked at Xie Ciyan with a bit more sincere gratitude.
After Xie Ciyan saw Yan Zhaozhao swallow the medicine, he stroked her hair again, as if he could only feel at ease when she was lying in his arms.”Antitoxic pills.” After feeding her the antidote pills, he was sure that Yan Zhaozhao had been poisoned the moment he saw Yan Zhaozhao’s nightmare dispelled.
He usually goes out on expeditions, and it’s not like he has never encountered enemy leaders using drugs and deception in an attempt to sneak attack them.Xie Ciyan had the habit of carrying detoxification pills with him since his deputy general was poisoned and died due to a conspiracy.This detoxification pill can cure thousands of poisons and is hard to find. Even he only has three pills.
“Ming Shang.” Xie Ciyan opened his thin lips and called out a name softly in the palace. Bi Luo was a little confused. Just when he was about to ask, he saw a slight noise coming from outside the window and a figure suddenly appeared.”Check the inside and outside of Fengyi Palace.”
The figure edited and responded neatly, “Yes.”
Ming Shang is one of his secret guards, and he is best at secretly exploring the palace courtyard.
Xie Ciyan showed a trace of tiredness in his eyebrows, and a faint fragrance suddenly entered his nose, but it was not the alluring fragrance of acacia flowers on Yan Zhaozhao’s body.When he first entered, he could smell the incense burning in the palace, but at that time, his heart was focused on Yan Zhaozhao and he had no time to care whether the incense was lit in the palace.
At this time, I felt something was wrong when I smelled it again.The fragrance seemed to have a somewhat pungent smell, mixed with other strong spices, and it was not easy to detect. However, Xie Ciyan’s nose was always sensitive, and he vaguely felt that the fragrance was unusual.
He said solemnly to Bi Luo: “Go and extinguish the incense in the palace.”
Although Bi Luo was confused, she still suppressed the questions in her heart. After saying “yes”, she stood up and extinguished the soothing incense burning in the temple.
Xie Ciyan did not leave, and kept holding the nephrite in her arms. From time to time, she lowered her eyes to see if Yan Zhaozhao still had nightmares. When she was extremely tired, she leaned on the bedpost and closed her eyes to rest, but did not dare to fall asleep, for fear that Yan Zhaozhao would wake up suddenly and cry.
The moonlight was lonely, Xie Ciyan looked at the face of the sleeping woman in his arms, feeling sad in his heart.He had promised to protect her, but now she was still hurt.
There was a glimmer of gloom in his eyes, and no one knew that when he saw Yan Zhaozhao’s weak appearance, he had already had murderous intent in his heart.
At that moment, Xie Ciyan had already thought about it.If something happened to Yan Zhaozhao, he would kill everyone in the palace and bury her with her.
And he will accompany her.
Live in the same quilt, die in the same hole.
