"Why should I tell you? But you should know it! Why bother asking?" After saying that, Shu Yao looked at Gong Yun'ao who was sitting on the throne and smiled slightly.
Obviously, Shu Yao was with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last night!
When Xiao He saw the two of them flirting with each other, he felt very angry. Their princess was still ill, but she was still flirting in front of him?
Isn’t this right?!
This woman is too arrogant and must be eliminated.
Xiao He knew it was unreasonable, but he still refused to give up, "Maybe you sneaked out when the slaves and eunuchs didn't see you."
Seeing Shu Yao being bullied, Gong Yun'ao said coldly: "That's even more impossible. Shu Yao was with our palace last night. What's more, if she leaves the palace, she will alarm the palace gatekeepers and record them.
According to the book, Shu Yao is not that stupid."
Afterwards, Liang Jinghuan, the young minister of Dali Temple, came out and spoke righteously: "Please rest assured, General Xiao, I will support all the questions you raised."
Facing Liang Jinghuan's upright face, Xiao He was helpless for a moment. Now, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was speaking for Shu Yao, and now the envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were even more speechless.
However, just at this moment, King Yan said: "Your Highness, please don't forget that Shu Yao is very talented. Wouldn't he be able to climb over the wall at night?"
Zimo, who was standing next to Gong Yun'ao, was immediately irritated when he heard this. Is this saying that he neglected his duties?
"My lord, what do you think this palace is? What do the royal guards and secret guards do? Can so many people still look down on a woman? Please tell me, my lord. By saying this, you are saying that I have neglected my duty.
"
King Yan smiled coldly and didn't take it seriously.
Gong Yunao, who was sitting at the top, glanced sideways at him, secretly observing and pondering the details. It seemed that the Fourth Emperor's Uncle had colluded with Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the two sang together as if they were on stage.
Shu Yao was too lazy to care about what King Yan said. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was trying to provoke misunderstanding between the two countries.
Furthermore, because of the identity of the Fourth Emperor's Uncle, King Yan, Shu Yao could not speak disrespectfully. Perhaps, the Fourth Emperor's Uncle just wanted Shu Yao to be disrespectful to him, and then accuse her of being disrespectful.
Even if Gong Yun'ao can protect her, all the civil and military officials in the court are watching. She cannot let King Yan seize the opportunity and cause trouble for Gong Yun'ao. She is still one step away from ascending the throne. She cannot become the third brother at this time.
stumbling block.
After Shu Yao figured it out, he smiled softly and said: "My daughter has something unclear. Shouldn't your Northern Zhou Kingdom quickly find a doctor to detoxify the princess? You actually have the intention to argue with me here? You have this time to argue with me.
If it doesn't stop, why not invite a few more doctors to take a good look at the princess?" The envoy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was choked and speechless.
"You..." Xiao He was angry, turned to look at Gong Yun'ao, and said: "Your Highness, even the imperial doctor is helpless. I'm afraid... I have an unkind request, please accept it."
Gong Yun said proudly: "What is it?"
"Your Highness, it seems that we can only dig out the red jade from the jade seal that I, the Northern Zhou Kingdom, gave to your country and give it to the princess as an antidote. Maybe it can save the princess's life."
After Xiao He said it, Gong Yun'ao remembered the function of the jade seal. Immediately, he said without thinking: "It's important to save the princess, go get the jade seal."
"Your Highness..." Zimo hesitated when he heard this. This is a jade seal sent as tribute from another country! If the red jade is dug out, can the jade seal still be used?
Seeing that Zimo was indifferent, Gong Yun'ao urged her sternly, "Why are you still lingering? Which is more important, the princess or the jade seal? Why don't you go quickly?"
"Yes, I obey." Zimo accepted the order and left.
King Yan glanced outside the palace, then cast his gaze on Gong Yun'ao, and said: "Your Highness, most of the imperial doctors in the palace have nothing to do but have nothing to do with it. How about your uncle recommending one to your nephew?"
Gong Yun'ao knew that he had bad intentions, but since the envoy was watching, he could only let him continue.
"Oh? Since the Fourth Emperor's uncle has been recommended by someone with excellent medical skills, that's the best thing. The princess will have hope."
King Yan's face was dark, his chest full of tears, "This person is just outside the palace."
When Gong Yunao heard this, his heart was like a bright mirror.
He was not mistaken. The Fourth Emperor's uncle came well prepared. He even prepared the miracle doctor. It had to be said that the conspiracy behind this was too obvious.
"pass."
Following an order from a male duck's voice, a middle-aged man came from outside the palace. The man looked like he was full of heaven, with a square pavilion, a wide forehead between his eyebrows, and piercing eyes.
The visitor knelt down respectfully in front of the palace and said, "Immortal Caomin Lin, please pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Immortal Lin?!
I hope his medical skills are worthy of this name!
Gong Yun'ao's eyes were light and he said, "Get up! Are you the miracle doctor that the fourth uncle said?"
Immortal Lin stood up slowly, lowered his head, and replied with high self-esteem: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to be a miracle doctor, but ordinary people have made some achievements in detoxification."
"That's good." Gong Yun'ao glanced at him, then looked at Wang Gonggong beside him and said: "Take him to the Siyi Pavilion."
"yes."
Siyi Pavilion
Several imperial doctors tried their best to detoxify Princess Wulie. However, what made them feel uneasy was that the red jade could only alleviate the poison, but could not eradicate it.
Above the main hall, Gong Yun'ao, King Yan, Liang Jinghuan and Xiao He were all waiting for the results of the treatment.
Until dusk, the genius doctor Lin Xianren brought bad news, "Back to Your Highness, after Princess Wulie took the red jade, the poison was not eradicated, it could only delay the onset of the poison..."
Gong Yun'ao's face darkened and he asked: "What kind of poison did the princess have? Why is it so serious? Even red jade can't cure it?"
"Back to the Emperor, the name of the poison in Princess Wulie is Ban Xian Powder. This poison is colorless and odorless. Those who are poisoned will have a purple or blue face, purple and black lips, small thorns on the limbs, and will lose all their martial arts within three days.
, the meridians are in chaos, and after ten days, the bones are broken inch by inch, and the internal organs are melted bit by bit."
Gong Yun glanced at the evil King Yan proudly, and said to Immortal Lin: "Miracle Doctor Lin, Uncle Four Emperors said you are a miracle doctor, don't you have a way to save him?"
Lin Xianren glanced at King Yan cautiously and said slowly: "Back to Your Highness, although the common people know how to detoxify, they can't do anything without a panacea."
Gong Yun'ao quickly asked: "What medicine do you need? The hospital has it. You can get it at any time."
Immortal Lin explained the prince's doubts and said: "Back to your highness, these medicinal materials are too ordinary and cannot cure the poison on the princess. The miraculous medicine mentioned by the grassroots is two kinds of spiritual grass, one is the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, and the other is the Withered Blood Grass.
Only the combination of two herbs can detoxify Princess Wulie."
"The Ice Spirit Flame Grass can break bones and tendons, and can expel immortals from the body. But after the bones are broken, a medicine is needed to rebuild the foundation, which is this Withered Blood Grass."
When Gong Yun'ao heard this, his expression became serious. He felt that what the miracle doctor said was too profound, "It sounds like this spiritual herb is not easy to get. So, where are these two medicines?"
Immortal Lin nodded and said: "Your Highness is right. There is a kind of spiritual grass called Ice Spirit Flame Grass, which is three feet high. Its appearance is like an ice sculpture and is crystal clear. There is also a kind of spiritual grass whose flowers are shaped like lotus flowers and are entirely icy blue. But
, the former is a fire-attribute spiritual grass, and if you touch it even slightly, it will feel like being burned by fire."
"Moreover, this herb grows in the land of two rituals. On one side is a cold spring with dripping water turning into ice, and on the other side is rolling lava. The other spiritual herb is guarded by a divine beast, making it even more difficult to approach."
After Lin Xianren finished speaking, he glanced at King Yan again and said inscrutably: "Your Highness, this is the Demon Realm Valley!"
In the main hall, everyone was shocked after hearing this, "Devil Valley?"
At this time, Liang Jinghuan, the young minister of Dali Temple, stood up. He frowned solemnly, his face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice: "Is the Demon Valley you are talking about also called the Valley of Divine Beasts? It was the place where the battle between the Divine Beasts was fought thousands of years ago. Listen.
It is said that after the war, there were countless mythical beasts and corpses buried in it..."
"Since then, the sky has been full of corpses, evil spirits, and miasma. Later, more and more wild beasts have appeared in the Demon Valley, and they are extremely ferocious and brutal."
After hearing this, Immortal Lin couldn't help but be extremely surprised. There were actually people in the court who knew about the Demon Realm Valley.
Not many people have seen "Foreign Object Chronicles"!
He didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "Yes!"
Gong Yun'ao was silent at first. Sure enough, every detail of this matter was explained in detail, but he felt that something was wrong. Being too careful was an omission.
Afterwards, Gong Yun'ao spoke slowly: "Even so, we still have to go to the Demon Realm Valley. We will send people to look for it right now."
"Nephew! Wait." King Yan quickly stopped him.
Gong Yunao looked at King Yan, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Why did the Fourth Emperor stop me?" He didn't call himself his nephew, but called himself me. He just wanted to tell King Yan that you were out of line.
"My good nephew, this matter started because of Shu Yao. Shouldn't she go find the spiritual grass herself? Only in this way can she show her sincerity to the Northern Zhou Kingdom." After King Yan said,
A sinister smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.
Gong Yun'ao did not ignore the calculation in his eyes and decisively refused: "Uncle Emperor, for the matter of finding medicine, this palace can only choose some people with strong martial arts skills. Shu Yao does not have to do it personally. This matter has nothing to do with her."
Xiao He looked at Shu Yao with a fierce look in his eyes, showing no intention of reconciliation, "Your Highness, what the prince said is absolutely true. She is looking for medicine in the Demon Valley Valley. Only by doing it herself can she be cleared of her crime."
Hearing this, Gong Yun'ao narrowed his eyes coldly and said in a cold voice: "General Xiao, why, do you still have doubts about what I said?"
Xiao He said: "Your Highness, Princess Wulie has a deep affection for you. Moreover, the leader of our country has also presented his credentials, and the two countries have established a good relationship..."
The unfinished words were interrupted mercilessly by Gong Yun'ao, "If I were you, I wouldn't mention this matter. Has General Xiao forgotten how he lost to me half a year ago?"
"If this palace suddenly wants to settle old and new accounts together on a whim, I'm afraid your General Xiao will be in trouble. Do you think your Northern Zhou Kingdom still has a place among the Three Kingdoms?"
In fact, as a vassal state, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had long since lost its chance of winning. It was still lingering on, living on its laurels and guarding its depleted country without realizing it.
Hearing this, Xiao He felt a surge of hatred in his heart. He still remembered that half a year ago, he was beaten by Gong Yun'ao and lost seven cities in a row. The arrow Gong Yun'ao shot at him directly penetrated his shoulder blade.
As a result, his martial arts skills were completely useless, and now he is no different from a useless person.
"Your Highness, I have no intention of doing this. Instead, I feel that Shu Yao has not been cleared of the crime. Therefore, she must collect the spiritual grass herself to prove that she was not the one who poisoned the princess."
Xiao He ignored Gong Yun'ao's increasingly darkened face and continued to speak unabashedly: "Besides, that Shu Yao is just a village woman from the mountains. How long will His Highness want to protect her?"
As soon as these words came out, Gong Yun'ao's eyes were like daggers, and he shot at him, "Who do you think is a mountain village woman?" As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Yun'ao suddenly released an overwhelming pressure.
Xiao He raised his eyes and glanced, and his cold and solid gaze seemed to penetrate his body and pierce Xiao He's face, causing burning pain all over his body.
When their eyes met, Xiao He felt as if he had been punched in the chest. His anger surged up and he was so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.
It turned out that this was the feeling of coercion coming from a master. He did not need to use his inner strength, but he could already feel Gong Yun'ao's endless killing intent.
