Li Jifeng said solemnly: "If Mao Gui's injury is indeed stung by a scorpion, and its color is dark red, it should be fine." After a moment of pause, he said with a puzzled face: "It's just that I don't understand, how far away is the Forbidden City from the Western Regions?
How could these scorpions come here for no reason despite being thousands of miles away?"
"It's not for no reason." Wei Jingxuan said solemnly: "Do you still remember those flowers sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago?"
Li Jifeng followed the words: "Of course I remember, is there something wrong with the flower? But I have personally checked it. It is just an ordinary chrysanthemum or rose. There is nothing abnormal."
Wei Jingxuan smiled sadly, "There was no problem with the flowers, but there was a problem with the soil. Later, Xiangju found a hole in the soil in one of the flower pots. If she guessed correctly, the scorpion... crawled out from there."
Hearing this, Li Jifeng's expression suddenly changed, "So, someone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs deliberately wants to harm Wei Yaosheng? Who is so vicious?"
Wei Jingxuan let out a long sigh and said sadly: "I always thought that I was imprisoned here. Although I was not free, I could at least stay away from the harem disputes. But it turned out that everything was just my delusion. Some people could never tolerate me. They kept saying,
They insist on putting me to death; although I escaped this time, those people will not give up and will definitely look for opportunities to harm me again. Although the Forbidden City is big, there is no place for me."
Looking at her face that was about to cry, Li Jifeng said: "Is that why you want to commit suicide?"
"That's right." Wei Jingxuan said with a hint of fear: "Although most of those scorpions were killed, one still escaped. Moreover, I don't know what kind of poison will be mixed in next time. I don't want to end up like Mao Gui.
So I wanted to commit suicide by hanging on a cliff, but... you saved me." As she spoke, she quietly held Li Jifeng's hand. The latter was afraid of being seen by Xiangju and wanted to shrink his hand, but Wei Jingxuan held it very tightly and had to let her go.
Xiangju saw what they were doing, but she pretended not to have seen it, and just wiped away her tears and said: "Although the master is fine, Mao Gui... I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for long. Since he was imprisoned here,
, only the three of us depend on each other, I really can’t bear to see anything happen to Mao Gui.”
Wei Jingxuan said helplessly: "How can I bear it, but I am imprisoned here and cannot ask the imperial doctor to treat him." After saying that, she blamed herself: "I am a useless master. I want you to suffer with me. You deserve to die the most."
It’s me!”
"No!" Xiangju knelt down and said with tears in her eyes: "It's none of the master's business. There are people who are narrow-minded and can't tolerate the master. Those are the ones who deserve to die the most!"
"Stop talking about this." Wei Jingxuan looked pitifully at Mao Gui, who was in a coma, "I hope God will show mercy and let him survive this disaster!"
Li Jifeng thought for a moment and said: "Although I can't ask an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat you, I can find a doctor to prepare a good detoxification prescription, which may be able to save Mao Gui."
Wei Jingxuan said happily: "Is it really possible?" Without waiting for Li Jifeng's reply, she worriedly said: "Would it embarrass you? After all, there are many people in the palace. If someone knows about it, I'm afraid it will be implicated.
you."
Li Jifeng comforted him and said: "On weekdays, there may be too many people, but now there are only six or seven people in the palace, so it is much more convenient."
Wei Jingxuan exclaimed in shock: "Ten to six or seven, why is this?"
Li Jifeng was startled, then smiled and said: "By the way, you are banned here and don't know what is going on outside. A few months ago, the emperor and the empress served the empress dowager on her southern tour. They will have to wait at least three or four months before they can go there.
return."
"So that's it." Wei Jingxuan said with emotion: "I accompanied the late empress during the emperor's first tour of the south. The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful and the people are outstanding. It is really unforgettable. I want to see it again, but it is a pity..."
The loss in her words made Li Jifeng feel a little pain in his heart, and he immediately comforted him: "Wei promised not to be sad. Although I won't be able to go this time, I believe that next time, you will definitely be able to accompany the emperor on his southern tour."
Wei Jingxuan smiled slightly, "I hope so, but now I am more worried about Mao Gui. Since I was trapped here, I have only them left. You must find a way to save him!"
Xiangju interjected from the side: "Since the emperor and all the masters are not in the palace now, can you please ask the imperial doctor to come to Yongshou Palace?"
"No!" Wei Jingxuan said seriously: "Although the emperor and the others are not here, there are so many people in the palace. If one of them sees it and reports it to the emperor, not only will something happen to us, but Guard Ji will also be implicated, so everything must be done."
Absolutely not."
Seeing that she cared about him so much, Li Jifeng felt warm in his heart and said: "Don't worry, Mao Gui is so loyal, God will bless him, and I will try my best to help him." After saying this, he glanced at the clouds outside the window.
There was a trace of fish belly white sky, and he said: "It's getting late, I should go back. I will take turns with others tonight, and I will try to deliver the medicine when the time comes."
Wei Jingxuan nodded gratefully. When Li Jifeng turned to leave, she suddenly ran forward and held his hand tightly. She said with concern: "Be careful, don't get into trouble. Also, as soon as you go out, others will definitely
They will ask you why you stayed in there for so long, and you must answer carefully when the time comes, so as not to make them suspicious."
"I know, don't worry about me." Li Jifeng smiled slightly, pulled away and left. After he left, Xiangju walked to Wei Jingxuan, whose face was getting colder, and said with some worry: "Master, will Guard Li really help us?
?”
"Don't believe me?" Faced with Wei Jingxuan's words, Xiangju said quickly: "I don't mean that, I'm just a little worried. After all, this step is really dangerous. If you don't make a mistake, you will be shattered to pieces."
Wei Jingxuan smiled and said coldly: "Don't worry, he is already under my control. From now on... he will be my best helper!"
Li Jifeng always thought that he had ruined Wei Jingxuan's innocence on impulse, but little did he know that all this was a plan set by Wei Jingxuan, and he... was the one who was plotted.
That night, Li Jifeng secretly delivered the medicine as promised. The medicine was effective. Mao Gui took it once and his condition improved. After drinking all the few pills he had received, he was able to walk.
Li Jifeng sent another medicine, asking Mao Gui to remove all the remaining poisons from his body. Wei Jingxuan also took the opportunity to ask about some matters outside the palace, and learned that Yehenala was dead and Xianyue was born on the day of praying for rain.
Twelve elder brother.
Hongli, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, did not know about Wei Jingxuan's seduction of guards and fornication in the palace. After more than a month of water travel, they had left Shandong and arrived in Jiangsu. They landed in Suzhou and stayed in the local palace. Because Hongli
The decree had been passed down a long time ago, so the officials did not build the palace extensively, but only repaired it slightly.
Suzhou is a land of gardens, and exquisite and unique gardens can be seen everywhere. Hongli accompanied Ling Ruo to visit several famous gardens, and after visiting Lingyan Mountain, he ordered Gao Bin to inspect the water defenses in various places together to find out if there were any deficiencies.
The place must be reinforced to prevent it from being washed away during the flood season, killing people, and destroying the farmland that the people rely on for their livelihood.
