Mr. Xue's eyes widened and he forgot to swallow the porridge in his mouth: "Did my ears not work well? Why did I hear you talking about going down the mountain?"
You must know that when I was a child, I mentioned more than once that I wanted to go down the mountain to play, but Xuezhongzi refused. Just because they were burdened with responsibilities, and just because this was the palace rule.
"You heard me right, going down the mountain."
Qin Manman's head was full of questions: [Daxue actually chose to go down the mountain. Is there something wrong with this plot? It can't be that I, the butterfly, flapped its wings and caused the plot to deviate from its original trajectory, right? But I'm just a little white rabbit who can't speak to others. What can a little white rabbit do? 】
With the 520 support watching the whole process, is there a possibility that your voice was heard, which caused Xue Chongzi to be affected and start to deviate from the original trajectory.
The corners of Xue Chongzi's lips raised, and she was in a good mood. Although Tutu always said words that he couldn't understand, he could understand the general meaning. Although the little white rabbit cannot speak human words, he can read its mind.
"How are you doing? Do you want to go?" Xuezhongzi asked while playing with the rabbit.
"go!"
Xue Chongzi had already spoken, and Xue Gongzi, who was a child at heart, naturally could not refuse such a good thing, so that night, the two of them sneaked down the back mountain.
The front mountain is heavily guarded, and the guards take turns changing guard to patrol the palace gate. If there are not enough people to protect the people with weak martial arts, they will be discovered. Unfortunately, Xue Chongzi's martial arts is excellent and he has no rivals at the palace gate.
Mr. Xue's martial arts skills are a bit poor, but with the protection of Mr. Xue, anyone who is not a strong martial artist will not notice it.
Qin Manman was held in Xue Zhongzi's arms and had a good view: [Oh, I don't know where Daxue plans to go to play. I want to see my brother Yuanzheng. At this time, the expedition brother is still a half-grown cub, so he must be very cute. 】
Xue Chongzi lowered his head and glanced at the rabbit in his arms. He found that the rabbit really liked the Lord of Zheng Palace, but since it wanted to go, then let's go.
But he didn't know how to go, and he didn't know if the rabbit in his arms knew.
"We have just arrived at the front mountain, and we don't know the layout of the palace gate. We won't know where we are going if we go there." After Xuezhongzi said this, he heard the rabbit's cry.
【Left hand side! Go to the left! That is the direction of Jiao Zheng Palace! Brother Yuanzheng usually researches poisons in Zhenggong or Pharmacy. If not there, it must be in Jiaogong! 】
At this moment, Qin Manman really hates that she can't talk to others. This is an opportunity to see Yuanzheng's younger brother, who was still a cub! If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
Xue Chongzi: "..." How much do you like Gong Yuanzheng.
Xue Chongzi couldn't laugh or cry, and pointed in the direction: "It looks very pleasing to the eye here, let's go here."
Qin Manman was satisfied: [Daxue and I have a good connection. 】
It was almost late at night, and most people had fallen asleep. Only the patrolling guards were still walking inside the palace gate.
There was not a single guard guarding the gate of Zheng Palace, which made Xue Chongzi frown.
Turning over and entering, there was only one room in the Zheng Palace that was still lit by candles. Before getting closer, Xue Chongzi heard suppressed crying.
After getting closer, not to mention Xue Chongzi, even Mr. Xue and Qin Manman heard it. It was the voice of a child, as if he was holding back great pain.
【Expedition brother! There is only the expedition brother here! 】
Qin Manman felt her heart skip a beat. She remembered that Gong Yuanzheng had always used herself to test the medicine. Could it be...
Xue Zhongzi carefully opened the window a crack and looked in. He saw an eleven or twelve-year-old child curled up on the ground, his hands scraping the floor with his fingers. There was blood on the fingertips. There was a little blood stain left, but he didn't seem to feel the pain in his hand.
Pain, pain that penetrates the bone marrow, the bones in the body seem to be chewed again, the lower lip has been bitten, and the sweat has wetted the hair and clothes.
Xu was in unbearable pain, and he finally rolled on the ground and hit the table and chairs with his body, making a loud noise. His black hair was messy, and the bells in his hair kept ringing. Finally, a mouthful of blood poured out of his mouth, staining the floor red.
Slowly, the pain seemed to dissipate. Without giving himself any buffer time, he forced himself to get up and began to prepare the antidote.
Qin Manman cried directly, her body kept shaking: [Even if the pain was worse than death, he didn't yell. He was already used to it, but he was obviously so young! Gong Ziyu, who is older than him, is still eating, drinking and having fun, but his younger brother Yuanzheng is risking his life to test the medicine! What happened to Gong Hongyu! They also captured a lot of those Wufeng assassins, why didn’t they know how to use them to test the medicine for their brother! 】
Xue Chongzi looked at the young boy who was busy in the room with a particularly complicated expression. However, at the age of eleven or twelve, he had to bear so much.
Mr. Xue couldn't bear to look any further and just asked in a low voice: "Is that the Master of Zheng Palace?"
Xue Chongzi nodded: "Well, he is testing the poison on himself."
Mr. Xue was shocked: "You are so young to test poison on yourself? Doesn't he have a medicine man? But Mr. Yue has a medicine man!"
Yes, the Moon Palace is equipped with medicine men to test the medicine. Why is it that the Zheng Palace is not equipped with medicine men and the Lord of the First Palace is required to test the poison himself? Moreover, the Lord of the Palace is only an eleven or twelve-year-old child.
[Gong Hongyu has always been a selfish person. The palace gate was massacred two years ago, and among the four palaces in the front mountain, only Yu Gong was safe. The master of the Shang Palace has been deposed, leaving only two young masters in the two palaces of Jiao Zheng! And there is also Mrs. Kirihime in the Yu Palace, a Wufeng-level charm assassin! Who knows whether Wu Feng’s attack on the palace gate was fueled by her! 】
Yuki Chongko couldn't help but breathe a little heavier. Mrs. Kirihime was a charm-level assassin. If that was true, the tragedy two years ago...
Although Mr. Xue was simple, he didn't understand anything. Looking at the children preparing medicine in the room, a door seemed to be opened in his heart.
He did not forget to deliver the medicine to the Moon Palace, but he forgot the nearest Zheng Palace in the front mountain. He did not believe it if he said it was not intentional. Moreover, the huge Zheng Palace didn’t even have a guard, only a child.
Gong Yuanzheng prepared the antidote as quickly as possible. After taking it, no symptoms of poisoning appeared again, but his body was extremely weak. He slumped on the stool and took up his pen to write down the symptoms of the poison and the formula for the antidote.
When he finished writing, he lay on the table and passed out.
Xue Zhongzi opened the door and walked in. Looking at the thin child lying on the table, he put Qin Manman in Mr. Xue's arms, then picked up Gong Yuanzheng and placed him on the bed, taking off his shoes for him. Cover yourself with quilt.
Qin Manman jumped out of Mr. Xue's arms, and jumped onto the bed regardless of the dirt on the ground. Looking at the unconscious person, she shed tears.
[Brother Yuanzheng, your body will get bad if you do this. Over the years, you will accumulate toxins. If it breaks out one day, you will die. 】
Xue Chongzi felt his pulse, and then sighed: "After all, it hurts my body, especially..."
