Chapter 21 Is She Poisoned?
Because the stone wall was narrow, the two people were already very close to each other, and Shen Nanzhi instinctively wanted to avoid it.
But when she looked up again and saw that he was holding a handkerchief in his hand, Shen Nanzhi was stunned.
Meeting her puzzled look, Xiao Chuyun's hand holding the handkerchief stopped in mid-air. His eyes swept across Shen Nanzhi's cheek, and he reminded her softly, "There's some blood stains."
After saying this, as if he was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would dislike him, he added: "This handkerchief is new and has never been used."
Only then did Shen Nanzhi react.
She was so busy with work just now that she didn't even think about the blood spots all over her body and her face was also stained with blood.
Even if there was no bronze mirror here, Shen Nanzhi could imagine how miserable he was.
She took the handkerchief and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The precious snow-brocade handkerchief was stained red with blood in an instant.
Seeing the glaring red, Shen Nanzhi's mind couldn't help but emerge with the assassin who was stabbed by her first sword.
Although the other party deserved to be put to death, she was still a little uneasy at the moment.
Seeing her holding the handkerchief in a daze, Xiao Chuyun asked, "Is this the first time Miss Shen has killed someone?"
Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi immediately came back to her senses. She subconsciously clenched her handkerchief and asked curiously, "Is it so obvious?"
It's ridiculous that she had previously claimed that she was not one of those delicate little girls, but now she is distracted by the blood on her hands.
In front of Xiao Chuyun, Shen Nanzhi felt a little embarrassed for the big words she had said.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuyun not only did not tease her, but praised her: "It was such a quick and decisive first time. Miss Shen did a great job. I'm afraid that ordinary men may not be half as calm and courageous as Miss Shen."
Shen Nanzhi felt a little embarrassed by his praise.
The slight discomfort in her heart was instantly thrown to the back of her mind. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for comforting me. However, I am a little curious, who wants to kill you?"
The previous hunt at the foot of Qingyun Mountain could be said to be carried out by the Second Prince’s men, in order to prevent Xiao Chuyun and Xiao Qian’an, who were carrying evidence of the Jiangbei corruption case, from returning to the capital.
But now that the evidence has been presented to the emperor, the second prince can only sacrifice his own position to save his own. He wishes he could completely distance himself from the matter and there is no way he would step into the trap at this critical juncture.
But who could it be other than the Second Prince?
Xiao Chuyun shook his head: "I don't know. I just got the job from the Dali Temple, so naturally some people can't sit still. But I didn't expect them to come so soon, which has implicated Miss Shen."
There was a hint of apology in Xiao Chuyun's tone.
Shen Nanzhi waved her hands quickly: "If the prince had not gone out of the city to find a doctor for me, he would not have been in danger, so if there is any harm, it is me who implicated the prince."
Xiao Chuyun smiled and said, "Miss Shen saved my life, there's no need to be so polite."
Shen Nanzhi thought to herself, what she did was not a life-saving favor, it was just a small favor at most, and he was the one who did her a great favor.
Just as he was thinking, Shen Nanzhi suddenly heard a familiar whistle.
That was the signal she and Qiuyue agreed upon.
somebody is coming!
Shen Nanzhi's heart began to lift. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiao Chuyun. After the two looked at each other, they tacitly moved their bodies closer to the stone wall.
The official road was right above their heads. If someone came looking for them, they would hardly be able to see the stone wall unless they looked down carefully.
But Shen Nanzhi still didn't dare to be careless.
Soon, she heard footsteps approaching, and about seven or eight people were dispersing.
Two of them were heading towards them.
The stone wall was narrow and could barely accommodate two people. Xiao Chuyun had already sat down against the stone wall, and Shen Nanzhi was a little further outside. In order not to be discovered, Shen Nanzhi had to squeeze in as much as possible and press his body against the stone wall.
But in this way, he would inevitably touch Xiao Chuyun's shoulders and chest.
Shen Nanzhi was trying her best to avoid it, but even so, half of her skirt was still exposed.
Just at this moment, the footsteps had stopped above their heads.
Shen Nanzhi was about to reach out to grab her, but Xiao Chuyun was one step faster than her. He lifted up her skirt and pulled her into his arms.
Shen Nanzhi felt dizzy and realized that she and Xiao Chuyun had switched places.
She changed the position so that she was facing the stone wall. Xiao Chuyun put one arm around her shoulders and supported himself on the side of the stone wall with the other hand. In order to stick as close to the stone wall as possible and not reveal her body, her back was almost pressed against his chest.
Even through the fabric, Shen Nanzhi could feel the heat of his palm on her shoulder.
Although he knew that this was a matter of discretion and was forced by the situation, Shen Nanzhi's heartbeat still accelerated uncontrollably at this moment as he was enveloped by the cool scent of grass and wood.
But right now, I really can't care about it.
The two men were above their heads in the blink of an eye.
Shen Nanzhi had already held his breath.
"There's no one here. Let's go check somewhere else. We've set up traps and checkpoints along the way. He's still injured, and he can't run far without a carriage."
"Yes!"
The conversation between the two people above my head was extremely clear.
Shen Nanzhi's heart also sank to the bottom.
The other party had spent a huge amount of money to put Xiao Chuyun to death.
I'm afraid things won't go smoothly for Mo Yi either.
They were really in danger this time.
Worried that something might happen to Miss Wen San, Shen Nanzhi also sent Zhuifeng and Zhuyue over there.
Right now, it's just her and Qiuyue. It would be difficult for them to break out with Xiao Chuyun, who is seriously injured and unable to walk.
Shen Nanzhi was thinking of a countermeasure, his mind was working quickly, but suddenly he felt dizzy.
Her chest, which had been pounding, suddenly felt tighter, and even her limbs felt as if they were being pricked by needles.
This feeling... is unforgettable to Shen Nanzhi.
It is a precursor to the onset of the poison!
She originally thought that Jiang Yanran had secretly poisoned her after she hooked up with Xiao Qian'an, but unexpectedly, she had already been plotting against her before she came to Beijing!
This poison is colorless and odorless. After poisoning, it only lurks in the meridians of the human body. There will not be any discomfort and it is difficult for people to detect. However, once the poisoned person uses all his strength to activate his internal strength, the poison will quickly spread throughout the body, causing damage to all meridians and making the person useless.
In his previous life, Shen Nanzhi did not have the opportunity to take action. It was not until a month later in the autumn siege that he was attacked by a hungry wolf and the poison took effect.
In this life, Xiao Chuyun happened to be assassinated. After today's thrilling scene, the poison took effect earlier after Shen Nanzhi took action.
Shen Nanzhi was not completely without doubts and preparations before. On the day she returned to Beijing, she sent secret guards to quietly look for famous doctors.
Most doctors could not detect the chronic poison that A'niang had been given, and the same went for the power-dissolving powder. She had thought that when she found a doctor to examine A'niang, she would also examine her.
It’s a pity that it’s too late.
Shen Nanzhi couldn't stop shaking all over when he thought that his proud kung fu would be wasted and he would have to go through the bone-gnawing pain again.
Just at this moment, the stone under her feet rolled down from the stone wall.
"what sound?"
The sound was not loud, but it just happened to alarm the two assassins who had not yet left.
The two men came back, and one of them had already drawn his sword and was heading towards the stone wall.
Shen Nanzhi felt a numbness in her chest and she didn't even have the strength to lift the sword.
God wants to kill me.
