When everyone stayed at the inn in Zecheng, the city gates were naturally greeted by local officials. However, Su Xiyue was concerned about King Rui's safety, so she suggested rejecting them all, while King Rui considered Su Xi's safety.
Yue may be too tired on this journey, so I also want to push it off!
When the two of them unanimously rejected all of them, they looked at each other and smiled.
At night, the crescent moon is like a hook, the scenery is pleasant, and the occasional dog barking seems normal!
A nimble and slender man in black sneaked into the dining room and in front of the stove, carefully tinkering with something.
Early the next morning, as soon as everyone had finished their breakfast, they began to feel sick one after another, and the most severe one was Su Xiyue.
"What's going on?" King Rui also looked a little unhappy.
The only people who had not eaten breakfast were Qinglong and Suzaku. Seeing this situation, they immediately understood, "No, the prince is poisoned!"
"Send the order and be careful." Qinglong immediately ordered.
"Hahahaha! Now ten of you have been poisoned, and you can't move even an inch. What? Are you still trying to hold on?"
A group of men in black appeared out of thin air, making Qinglong and others even more worried.
"Prince Rui, you are now the most noble prince in the Daqing Dynasty. It would be a pity to be buried here like this. Well, as long as you hand over Su Xiyue beside you, then we can let you live.
"
As the man in black spoke, he raised his hand and took out a small bottle from his arms, "This is the antidote. How about it? Your Majesty, you think this deal is a good deal?"
"Don't even think about it!"
"Really? It seems that the prince really loves the country more than the beauty. It's such a pity. It seems that these antidotes are no longer needed."
The man said that he was about to destroy the antidote.
"Wait a minute!" Suzaku said first, "How do we know whether the antidote in your hand is real or fake?"
The man in black glanced at Suzaku and said, "I am in control now, little girl, you are not qualified to negotiate with me!"
After finishing his words, he glanced at King Rui behind him. Anyone could see the smile in his eyes. The man took a few steps back, and the men in black he brought with him all stepped forward.
Qinglong secretly thought that something was wrong. These people were definitely not ordinary people based on their body skills. If they only relied on a few of them, it would be impossible to protect the prince!
"Suzaku, you protect the prince and princess and leave first. Leave this place to me." Qinglong said.
"No, they have too many people. If you stay alone, you will be dead. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. It's better to join forces and still have a chance of survival."
Qinglong pursed his lips and thought that there were secret guards around his master, so they could evacuate safely, so he turned around and said, "Prince, please take the princess and leave first."
King Rui said nothing, but narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the leading man in black.
"Kill, leave no one behind."
"Wait!" Unexpectedly, the person who spoke this time was Su Xiyue, whose face had turned pale.
"Geng Lirong, I know it was you who poisoned me, but I just want to know why?"
Geng Lirong, who was originally thinking about whether to escape first, turned pale with fright when she heard this. When she saw that most of the people here had been poisoned, and her master had sent so many people, she started to panic again.
Be brave.
"The princess could actually guess that it was my poison? Tsk tsk, you are really smart! I wonder how the princess guessed it?" Geng Lirong stood straight and no longer looked as humble as usual.
"You have been a chess piece from the beginning, haven't you? It is your master, the chess piece placed beside me and my brother. Although I don't know who your master is, but I see that you have not made any moves, so I keep my head down.
I lost my guard, it seems I was too careless."
"Hmph! Su Xiyue, you don't always have to look like a sad person! Who do you think you are? A living Bodhisattva? Do you really think your heart is so kind? If you are really kind, why don't you give in?
I am close to the prince? Instead, he only arranged for me to be a second-class maid? Aren't you just afraid that the prince will take a fancy to my beauty and make you fall out of favor?"
Listening to her words like this, Su Xiyue shook her head lightly, "He is my husband, why should I let you get close to him? Don't you think your idea is too ridiculous?"
"Hmph! Su Xiyue, your death date has come anyway, and I have no interest in accompanying you to say your last words."
Zhuque stepped forward and stopped Geng Lirong, "Want to leave? It's not that easy!"
Geng Lirong was no longer afraid now. Instead, she smiled and said, "Among these people, apart from the fact that they have the antidote, I am the only one who knows what kind of poison the prince and the others have been poisoned by, and what is the antidote? Miss Zhuque, you have to think about it."
Okay, do you really want to kill me?"
Suzaku hesitated. If what she said was true, then the prince could still be saved. No matter what, he had to save her life first.
"Suzaku, kill her."
King Rui didn't know when he stood up, but still put one hand around Su Xiyue's waist. At this time, were there any signs of poisoning on their faces? Not only that, other people also followed Su Xiyue's waist.
He stood up from the chair on the ground and took his time to look at Geng Lirong and the man in black in front of him.
Geng Lirong panicked, "What's going on? Impossible? Impossible! I've obviously taken such a large dose of poison, how is it possible?"
"You put poison in the water tank in the dining room. As long as we have breakfast the next morning or drink the water just delivered in the morning, we will definitely be poisoned. But Geng Lirong, since you thought
Since I refused to let you get close to the prince or reuse you, why didn't you think that it was because I had already become suspicious of you?"
After Su Xiyue finished speaking, she stopped looking at her. Meimei stepped forward and directly tapped her acupuncture points to restrain her.
Qinglong and others protected them in front of them and slowly left the house. Seeing this change, the men in black had panic in their eyes. Prince Rui had a reputation for being ruthless and murderous, but
It didn’t come out of thin air!
"I will give you one last chance now. Tell me who your master is, and I will let you die happily. Otherwise, I will let you know that life is worse than death!"
"Don't even think about it!" the leader of the men in black said through gritted teeth, "Now that we are here, we have no intention of going back alive. Brothers, come on!"
Before Su Xiyue had time to see how those people took action, she was taken away from this bloody place by King Rui, and returned inside again. The outside was protected by a row of tight guards, let alone seeing.
When it comes to killing people, not even a corner of his clothes can be seen.
"Now do you know who their master is?" King Rui's question was a bit dull.
