"Pata."
The tears fell down onto the back of his hand, hot enough to burn the softest spot in his heart.
"Why are you crying?" Yuwen He panicked because of her tears.
"No, it's fine. Just a sudden thought about my family. " Xiao Ruyue said as he wiped his tears, acting as if nothing had happened.
When Yuwen He heard her mention the word "family", he did not say a word, paused for a moment, then said: "You still have me."
A wave of warmth flowed into his heart and filled his entire body.
A thousand words would not be worth a single word: "And me."
Yuwen He, you really are an expert.
That night.
In the dead of night, Ye Haitang took advantage of the night in the glazed pavilion to climb over the palace walls and leave the palace.
Ye Haitang saw with her own eyes that the mysterious palace maid who practically never appeared, had turned into a Imperial Consort Ye and was lying in his sleeping quarters.
Yin Lin snuck into the palace maid's room. The furnishings inside were nothing special, only a box in the corner made people take note of it, but it was an exquisite lock, it was not a lock that could be opened easily.
There was nothing Yin Lin could do, so she returned to the Phoenix Invitation Palace.
had not stopped yet.
She was wearing the middle clothes and drinking tea leisurely, just waiting for Yin Lin's reply.
Yin Lin was very reliable at handling matters. She immediately changed out of her night clothes and came over to report what she had seen. Xiao Ruyue tightened the grip on the teacup she was holding.
What a good double, what a golden cicada.
This time, it finally proved that Imperial Consort Ye's skills were not ordinary and she had a lot of work on him. She came out of the palace at night, presumably for Yao Ziyan.
By now, the Wei Wang Manor should have made some moves.
The Wei Wang Manor was deathly silent.
Especially the main garden.
Because of Princess Hua-Yang, everyone had to hide far away and guard the entrance of the courtyard. Although the acupoints on Yao Ziyan's body had already been opened, they were no longer able to cause a ruckus.
As the poison flared up, she became older and older. From the cup of tea, she could see her appearance was getting older and older.
The skin on his face had loosened beyond recognition, and his eyelids drooped so low that he could barely lift his eyes.
His hand was wrinkled and he could no longer see his original appearance.
The two imperial physicians had prescribed the medicine on the table before they left. They said that although it couldn't detoxify the poison, it could at least relieve some of the symptoms.
Mitigate my ass!
If she was an old lady in her fifties or sixties, she would have become an old woman in her seventies and eighties by now! What's the use of drinking this medicine!
Yao Ziyan furiously swept the soup off the table, scaring the person guarding the gate into trembling again.
She could only hope that the wangfei wouldn't come out!
On the rooftop not too far away, Shen Liang, the cat, was still there.
When Shen Liang followed Xiao Ruyue back to the palace, he left before the palace gates locked. He only entered the palace after the sky had turned completely dark.
Normally, the palace was heavily guarded, especially in the main garden. But today, because of the wangfei's accident, his guard had been greatly relaxed, allowing him to sneak in effortlessly.
The sound of clothes tearing through the air could be heard. Shen Liang hurriedly hid himself, only to see a black shadow swiftly descending into the courtyard. This shadow didn't attract the attention of the guards outside the courtyard. From the shape of her body, it was obvious that she was a woman.
She entered the room without a sound.
Afterwards, he didn't hear anything for a long time.
At this time, inside the room, Yao Ziyan almost shouted out loud as she rushed into the black clothed man's room.
But before she could speak, her mouth was covered.
"Do you want to call everyone from the Prince's Mansion over?" The familiar cold voice made Yao Ziyan lower her guard.
"Martial Uncle!" The black clothed person took off the black mask on his face, causing her to cry out in a low voice.
Ye Haitang rolled her eyes at her, "Didn't I tell you to be careful? "How did you do that to yourself?"
"Martial Uncle, I was just about to tell you about this." That Empress, that Situ Min, she was not simple. I felt that she had a great secret behind her back. And I suspect that it was she who poisoned me! "
Ye Haitang frowned, "Situ Min? "Then tell me about it."
"She, she gave me a set of Sentinel Diagram yesterday, saying that she hoped that Yuwen Chenglian and I would soon have our own child. He also gave her an embroidered handkerchief embroidered with a peony. I suspect that she has a deep connection with that damned Xiao Ruyue from back then. "
Yao Ziyan said, seeing that Ye Haitang's expression was slightly unhappy, she immediately recounted what happened back then.
After Ye Haitang heard this, she thought for a while before nodding, "According to what you have said, it is very likely that the present Situ Min knows the Xiao Ruyue of the past. And she's probably after you. "
Yao Ziyan kept quiet.
Xiao Ruyue was her nightmare. Every time she mentioned him, she would think of how, on the first day of the new year, someone had come to report that the person inside the woodshed had died. When she went to the woodshed to check, she saw that Xiao Ruyue's corpse was stiff.
Yao Ziyan shivered.
"If you don't tell me, I'll help you cure the poison first." Otherwise, your appearance will be bad. "
"Martial Uncle knows that I have been poisoned."
"Mhmm." There is no poison that I, Ye Haitang, am unable to cure in this world. This poison is extremely rare, and has long been lost in the martial arts world. The person who poisoned it must also be a very good person. "
Ye Haitang's expression was arrogant, she took out a bottle and gave a pill to Yao Ziyan, letting her consume it.
Yao Ziyan did not dare hesitate, and swallowed them down.
Ye Haitang then opened her silver needles again, allowing her to remove her clothes so that she could use the needles on the bed.
Ye Haitang inserted twelve needles into Yao Ziyan's body, and it was finally complete.
"You just took an antidote, I gave you an injection, but the effect won't work immediately. Tomorrow, someone from Cigarette Water Pavilion will come and continue to treat you. "If you obey my orders, I will ensure that you return to your original appearance."
"Thank you, Martial Uncle, for saving my life!"
Yao Ziyan was extremely grateful. If she wasn't unable to get up, she would have kowtowed to Ye Haitang several times.
Ye Haitang coldly snorted, probably looking down on her for being useless.
Last time, someone helped the empress remove the "gatekeeping sand", and this time, another person gave Yao Ziyan a "one-night stand". That person was so powerful.
If he did not get rid of him first, it would not be so easy to get rid of Situ Min!
But who could it be?
The Palace of the Phoenix was tightly guarded; not a single sound could be heard.
From the roof outside, the lights in the house flickered.
After a long while, the man in black opened the door and came out. Shen Liang hid himself again. After confirming the direction the man in black had left, he carefully followed behind him …
The next morning.
After Yuwen He changed his clothes and went to the morning assembly, Xiao Ruyue also stood up.
However, Shen Liang did not return until the morning.
Xiao Ruyue was still worrying that he might have met with some mishaps, when he herself entered the room she said: "Last night, the black-clothed man stayed in Wei Wangfei's room for a long time and then left. This general followed the black-clothed man to the rouge shop in the capital, but the black-clothed man entered the house and disappeared without a trace.
The last time Chong Yue came to visit, he had also mentioned the same problem.
The rest of the Cigarette Water Pavilion were normal except for that small house, which was very mysterious and was filled with information about the traps, making it difficult to get close to it.
"Is General Shen alright? Are you hurt? " Xiao Ruyue asked with concern.
Shen Liang hurriedly said, "This general is fine and unharmed. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
"General, you've worked hard the entire night. Let's go back and get the news."
After Yin Lin sent Shen Liang out, Liangqiu Yayin appeared.
"Last night, that Imperial Consort Ye left the palace in a hurry to go to the Duke Palaces to cure Wei Wangfei's poison. If she still wants to use Yao Ziyan, she must save her. "
"Ya Yin, what poison is this? "So powerful."
"This poison is called 'One Night Old Man'. It is the most popular poison a hundred years ago. Back then, an empress ordered the imperial physician to develop it to deal with her concubines who were vying for her favor. After that incident, the queen was executed, and the poison also disappeared from the face of the earth. "It has been lost for more than a hundred years."
"Then how is it in the hands of big sister Ya Yin?" Xiao Ruyue was very curious about this.
Liangqiu Yayin laughed and said: "This is a long story. But I can make a long story short. "
"Actually, 'One Night Old One' was originally something my grandfather created on the spur of the moment. However, when he felt that the poison was too vicious, he destroyed it. "But who would have thought that it was still used by someone to secretly harm others."
Xiao Ruyue more or less understood what was going on.
Seeing her smile, Liangqiu Yayin also laughed, "It's just as you think, that so-called imperial physician who was ordered by the empress to develop 'Old Man Xiang' is a member of the Liang Qiu Family. He had stolen something that his grandfather wanted to destroy and taken it for himself. He had even brought up such a strange name. Who knew how many people he had harmed back then? In the end, he was cut in half at the waist, so it can be said that he received retribution and deserved to die. "
"Then wouldn't Sister Ya Yin helping me be contrary to our ancestor's teachings?" Xiao Ruyue was a little troubled in his heart.
However, Liangqiu Yayin shook her head and said, "This is nothing. Whether it's the poison or the medicine, it's all in the hearts of the people. Moreover, with Red Sleeve House's Tower Lord here, that Yao Ziyan still won't die. "
"Red Sleeve House, Tower Lord?!" Xiao Ruyue looked at Liangqiu Yayin in shock, "What do you mean?"
"I've thought about it. The only person who has the ability and status to establish such a stronghold in the Western Summer Capital and have control over the entire situation is the master of the two buildings in the Red Sleeve House. As for the owner of the building, he never left the Red Sleeve House at all. What's left is another female devil monster who killed without blinking an eye. Just watch and see, if someone comes out tomorrow to help Yao Ziyan cure the poison, I will be able to determine that this Imperial Consort Ye is Red Sleeve House! "
Xiao Ruyue was not very clear about what had happened in the martial arts world, but she believed and was certain that Sister Ya Yin would not lie to her or harm her.
"There's one more thing I want to tell you. It has been at least thirty years since Red Sleeve House was created. Thus, the ages of the two Tower Masters are not younger than me."
Liangqiu Yayin suddenly said.
Xiao Ruyue was startled, then she heard Liangqiu Yayin say joyously: "Your husband married an old monster that can be his mother."
Xiao Ruyue spat out a mouthful of blood
Liangqiu Yayin propped up her chin, then added another cut: "If it was me in front of an old salted fish, I would also not be able to swallow it down."
