Shen Zhiyi wore a bamboo hat to cover her face. The center of the execution ground was crowded with people. Standing in an inconspicuous corner, Shen Zhiyi could just watch everything.
No one from the Shen family came, so the second wife of the Shen family naturally didn't care about her life or death, and even Luo didn't dare to take a last look at her daughter.
Some people in the crowd whispered, saying that the youngest daughter of the eldest son of the Shen family should have died a long time ago. She was evil-hearted and living was a waste of food.
Shen Zhiyi smiled coldly, it would be better to die.
Finally, three quarters past noon arrived.
The supervisor raised his beheading knife and was about to give the order when Shen Zhiyi suddenly raised his bamboo hat, revealing a pair of clear eyes.
"Wait!"
Everyone turned around and saw Shen Hezhi, the eldest son of the Shen family, standing in the crowd, revealing a face that would captivate the entire country.
The supervisor frowned and asked, "Master Shen, do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Hezhi smiled and walked onto the execution ground, "I want to say the last words to my sister."
The prison officer nodded and tacitly allowed him to come forward. Shen Hezhi leaned over and pressed against Shen Runxue's ear: "Good sister, have a good trip."
Shen Hezhi turned around and looked at Shen Zhiyi with cold eyes. He had been looking forward to the death of the brother and sister for a long time.
Now, one has become a useless person and the other has become a dead soul. What a joy.
There was silence on the execution ground, except for the sound of the wind blowing over the execution platform and the sound of people holding their breath.
Shen Zhiyi turned sideways, trying not to let Shen Hezhi notice her. She held Fu Ling's hand tightly, gently covered her eyes, and gently told her: "Don't look."
The executioner raised his knife and dropped it, and Shen Hezhi's long-awaited moment finally arrived.
A shrill scream echoed in the execution ground. Fu Ling screamed in fright, and Shen Zhiyi hugged her tightly, blocking her sight with his body.
There was an exclamation from the crowd, and she hugged Poria tightly and walked out of the crowd step by step.
Suddenly she saw a familiar thin figure in the crowd. She couldn't see the person clearly, but she just felt inexplicably familiar.
Forget it, perhaps because he was dazzled, Shen Zhiyi didn't pay attention and turned around to leave.
Jiang Mansion.
"From today on, I will teach you how to kill."
Jiang Yubai's voice was low and powerful, and his eyes when he looked at her were as deep as the sea, as if he could see through her heart.
He picked a camellia and handed it to her. The camellia was bright red, with dewdrops on the petals, making it look particularly delicate.
She took the camellia and felt a warm current in her heart.
She holds her future and destiny in her hands. She wants to become stronger, to sit on the highest position, to have power, and to have a kingdom.
"Stand here and walk for an hour." Jiang Yubai's voice was unmistakable, and his eyes were sharp, as if he could see through her heart.
"Miss Shen is very ambitious. If I directly teach you hidden weapons, you will be like water without a source and a tree without roots. When fighting against the enemy, you will be taken down without even using a single move."
She gritted her teeth, nodded, and then stood there silently, taking up her horse stance. The mountain breeze blew her hair and brushed her cheek, giving her a chill. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, feeling a strong determination surge in her heart.
This is the beginning of her becoming stronger, and this is the only way for her to move towards the future.
Jiang Yubai stood beside her, his eyes burning brightly.
Over and over again, Shen Zhiyi has been running here for a month, biting her lips and soaking her clothes with sweat, but she has never wavered.
Jiang Yubai looked at her tenacity and secretly praised her in his heart.
Uncle Master, the little girl you asked me to take care of is quite good-natured, but she is not as well-behaved as she was when she was brought back from the snow, but this is not bad.
During this period of time, Jiang Yubai has been teaching Shen Zhiyi his strength. If his feet are not stable, every move will have flaws, and any flaw will be fatal in a duel.
Only with enough agility can the maximum power of hidden weapons be unleashed.
Jiang Yubai didn't speak, he just stood upstairs and stared at Shen Zhiyi. Xian Qing came to his side and continued: "Father, you are too concerned about Miss Shen."
Hearing this, Jiang Yubai glanced at Xianqing lightly and said, "She is my disciple, so naturally I will do my best."
Besides, she was a female doll entrusted to him by his uncle, so she naturally had to take better care of her.
"But she...she is a woman after all, and such training would be too hard." Xian Qing couldn't help but say.
Jiang Yubai glanced at her and said, "What about women? If you want to get something, you must give something first. Since she wants to gain power, she must bear the hardship."
Xian Qing couldn't help but feel a little silent after hearing this. He knew Jiang Yubai's words were reasonable, but looking at Shen Zhiyi's tired figure, he couldn't bear it.
"Junior sister, are you feeling better recently?"
"Your Highness Princess..." Xian Qing sighed, "She still hasn't gotten better."
Ever since Princess Yong'an complained in front of the Yamen, this matter had reached the ears of Emperor Jing.
Long Yan was furious. What the princess did was an insult to the royal family!
He immediately ordered Princess Yong'an to be arrested and ordered her to kneel in front of the palace gate and reflect.
Yong'an knelt in front of the palace gate, his posture upright and his eyes firm. She didn't bow her head or give in.
After hearing this, Emperor Jing was furious and immediately ordered Princess Yong'an to be confined to the princess's palace. She was not allowed to step out without permission.
After the princess returned to the mansion, she began to fall into a trance soon after. She fainted for no reason for the past two days, but the cause was never found.
Jiang Yubai broke into the imperial hospital and summoned all the imperial doctors in the palace to diagnose and treat the princess. However, these imperial doctors all shook their heads and talked a lot, but no one could tell the reason.
Jiang Yuanbai became increasingly angry, and he scolded these incompetent doctors.
"If you can't cure it, there's always someone who can."
In the princess's mansion, Princess Yong'an was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper and her eyes closed tightly. Her body was shaking slightly, as if she was enduring great pain.
At the moment, Emperor Jing and many ministers are watching the Princess Mansion, trying to find fault with him. After all, he is also involved in the Luo case.
"Heh, some cliche old guys," Jiang Yubai told Xianqing to prepare some things, "I'm going to the princess's house. You go find Cen Fengxing and tell him to come quickly."
"I want to go too." Shen Zhiyi's voice was a little weak. She stood behind Jiang Yubai, her face pale.
Just after finishing the horse stance, I felt like I was exhausted.
Jiang Yubai looked back at her, frowned slightly, but said nothing.
The princess lay weakly on the bed. She was a disciple of the mad doctor, how could she not know her own body? She had difficulty in childbirth when she was born, but it was Master who took care of her over the years that allowed her to live so long.
Jiang Yubai stood beside the bed, his eyes solemn. He stretched out his hand and gently put it on the princess's wrist. He could only feel her pulse briefly and felt that her pulse was weak and weak. His heart tightened, knowing that something was wrong.
"Where is Cen Fengxing and others?"
"It took some time to get rid of those spies. I came late." Cen Fengxing.
Cen Fengxing stood beside the bed, his eyes solemn. He reached out and gently placed his hand on the princess's wrist, feeling that her pulse was weak and weak. His heart tightened, knowing that something was wrong.
"What's wrong with the princess?" Shen Zhiyi asked in a low voice.
The mute maid stood behind him, her face pale and her body trembling slightly. She bit her lip and said nothing.
Cen Fengxing looked back at her and said calmly: "Her pulse is disordered, and there seems to be some kind of toxin inside her body that is eroding her body.
Princess Yong'an's eyes were full of exhaustion and helplessness. She shook her head slightly and said, "Junior brother, you are here. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."
Shen Zhiyi felt sad in her heart. She stepped forward, gently hugged Princess Yong'an, and said, "Princess, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."
Cen Fengxing fed her Dinghunsan, which temporarily stabilized her pulse.
He took a deep breath, turned to look at Jiang Yubai, and followed him out of the room.
The mute maid stood beside the bed with tears in her eyes.
The two walked through the corridor and came to the garden. The moonlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the two of them. "Do you know who poisoned me?" Cen Fengxing asked in a low voice.
Jiang Yubai shook his head, "It's not clear yet, I've asked Xian Qing to investigate."
Cen Fengxing took a deep breath, "This poison is very rare. I have only seen it in Mo City. I need some time to research it and find an antidote."
"Mocheng?"
The streets of Mocheng are narrow and ancient. It is an inconspicuous town in Southern Xinjiang, located at the junction of Dongling and Southern Xinjiang. This town is quiet and mysterious.
The princess needed to rest and recuperate. After she fell asleep, Shen Zhiyi turned and left the room.
She walked through the corridor with light steps, as if she was calculating the distance with every step. Her figure gradually disappeared into the night, leaving only a silent courtyard.
Shen Zhiyi came to a remote corner where begonia flowers were blooming.
Strange, this flower is blooming too delicately.
Shen Zhiyi stood among the begonia flowers, her figure looking particularly petite in the moonlight. She looked up at the trees full of flowers, each flower was so delicate and beautiful.
She reached out and gently touched the petals, and the soft touch made her feel an inexplicable emotion. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she could smell the sweet fragrance of flowers.
No, this flower smells weird.
The moonlight shone on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled light and shadow reflected on her face.
At this moment, a breeze blew by, and the petals fell gently, landing on her hair and shoulders. She opened her eyes and looked at the falling petals, feeling an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
This is......
Shen Zhiyi's heart tightened and her body stiffened slightly. Her fingers trembled slightly, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart. She knew that this was a poison called Linhua Powder. This is a kind of poison from southern Xinjiang, named after Linhua San. It is extremely poisonous. Once ingested, it will cause extreme pain until death.
The moonlight was like water, shining on her face, and she felt her body trembling slightly. She looked back in the direction of the room, feeling an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
She felt her body trembling slightly, as if every inch of her skin was trembling.
This poison will make the flowers bloom more delicately, keep blooming undefeated, and be inhaled into the human body along with the pollen. Looking at this crabapple tree blooming beautifully, the inside has actually been corroded by poison and will wither when the effect of the medicine wears off.
People, too.
Back then, she had witnessed the enemy army capture a city using this technique on the battlefield. The people in the city seemed to have been sucked dry of their energy, their oil and lamps were exhausted, and they suffered heavy casualties.
Shen Zhiyi was anxious, she couldn't let the princess stay here anymore, she had to take her away.
"We have to take the princess out of here quickly." Shen Zhiyi whispered.
She no longer hesitated, turned around and left immediately, walked through the corridor and came to the courtyard.
There was silence in the courtyard, with only the moonlight shining on the ground and shining on her body.
She quickly walked to the princess's room door and opened it.
The princess was lying on the bed, her face pale and her eyes closed tightly. Shen Zhiyi's heart tightened, and she immediately stepped forward and gently pushed the princess awake.
"Princess, we have to get out of here," she whispered.
There are informants around the princess's mansion. How easy is it to take the princess out of the mansion?
Princess Yong'an slowly opened her eyes and looked at her, her eyes full of doubts.
Cen Fengxing also noticed something strange in the yard. The night wind blew by, and the petals of crabapples fell with the wind, falling on their hair and shoulders.
Jiang Yubai looked at Cen Fengxing, "What's wrong with you?"
Cen Fengxing reached out and picked off a crabapple flower, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. Taking a deep breath, "There's something weird about this flower."
"It's Linhuasan." His expression changed. "This is a poison from southern Xinjiang. It is named after Linhuasan. It is extremely toxic. Once ingested, it will cause extreme pain until death."
"Princess, please leave the princess mansion." Cen Fengxing said in a deep voice.
Jiang Yubai and Xian Qing also followed behind, looking around with wary expressions.
"But..." The princess hesitated, looked around, and then said, "If I leave, you will be affected."
The mute maid had already put on the princess's clothes, walked to the princess and knelt down in front of her. The princess was shocked when she saw her look like this. She guessed that someone was plotting something against her. She had been suffering from weakness in the past few days and had been unable to do anything.
The mute maid's move was nothing more than disguising herself as herself to buy herself time to escape.
The mute maid slowly raised her arm, the scars on it had festered, and her body was at the end of its strength.
The princess was startled and stared at her arm with furrowed brows. She was about to take a closer look when the mute maid suddenly retracted her hand. Her time was running out and this was the last thing she could do for the princess.
That day, the mute maid accidentally saw Shen Qinghe sprinkling the potion on the crabapple tree. She didn't know what kind of poison it was, but she just felt that the crabapple that the princess loved was blooming more beautifully.
Shen Qinghe poured the remaining potion on the mute maid's skin and warned her that her family would not be spared if she dared to tell the story.
Princess, this servant doesn’t have much time left to live.
Just let me do one last thing for you.
Cen Fengxing looked at the mute servant's injuries and shook his head. She didn't have much time left, at most half a month.
The princess's heart was shocked. She looked at the mute maid's firm eyes and felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She knew that the mute maid chose to stay because of her.
Suddenly, the princess felt dizzy and her vision became increasingly blurry. She glanced at the mute maid. Just now, when the mute maid saw Jiang Yubai and his entourage coming, she secretly put a little drug into the princess's food.
The princess was shocked and immediately realized that the mute maid had given her a drug.
She wanted to struggle, but found that she could no longer move.
