Traveling with a female companion

At midnight, two figures suddenly jumped down from the shadow of the tree and went to Gao Shanchunmei's bedroom. Song Xiaocheng also followed quietly.Two men in black came in through the window without making a sound. Under the dim moonlight, one of them drew a sharp knife from his waist. Was this to stab her?

"Who?" Came Harumi Takayama's surprised voice.

"I was ordered to cut the girl's face, who called the girl a disaster, offended." A man drew a knife and stepped forward. He approached the bed and was raising his hand. Suddenly, there was a "swish, swish, swish" sound, and some hidden weapon came from their ears. After scratching, the two escaped in surprise.Gao Shanchunmei smiled darkly, squatting on the bed, kneeling on one leg, holding another hidden weapon between her slender fingers.

"If you want to slash my face, leave your ears first." She laughed softly, and then quickly shot the hidden weapon, a stream of light flashed in the darkness.If the two men in black hadn't dodged in time, the ears would have been cut off.Seeing that the situation was not good, they fled out the window. Gao Shanchunmei shouted: "Who told you to come, leave your name!" Jumping up, the speed was even faster than them, and he chased up after a dozen steps with ease, grabbed a person's back in the middle of the treetops, and threw him headlong to the ground, making a heavy muffled sound.

Harumi Gao Shan grabbed the man in black, dug her fingernails into his neck, and asked sharply. Under the moonlight, her snow-white face was as terrifying as a female ghost.Song Xiaocheng hid far away and was very anxious.At this time, more than a dozen men in black came out from the dense flowers and trees on three sides, and rushed towards her like a pack of wolves. Three, but the others still held her firmly to the ground.This scene started silently and ended silently. They took Takayama Harumi away without leaving a trace.

When she woke up, she was already in prison, surrounded by a narrow dark room, only the lights on the wall flickered like beans.She moved her body and was bound to the stone wall by iron shackles, unable to break free.A few oriental words rolled out of her mouth, at this moment, with a "squeak", the small door opened, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Song Xiaocheng and several guards came in.

When Gao Shan Chunmei saw Song Xiaocheng, she hesitated for a moment, then understood what was going on, and cursed loudly.The guard went up to teach her a lesson, but was stopped by Song Xiaocheng: "Don't touch her for now, I have something to ask." Gao Shanchunmei spat viciously: "Bah, so you really betrayed me to the queen. I believe you blindly, and tell you that the emperor has me in his heart, and if you dare to imprison me here, you will see it in a day."

Song Xiaocheng shrugged: "Perhaps you guessed right, but who made you a prisoner now? I want to ask you something. If you tell me the truth, then we can talk about it. If you continue to lie to me like before, then sorry."

Takayama Harumi showed a creepy smile: "You mean to torture me, come and try, we Oriental women are not afraid." Her smile was proud and confident, most people would not cry in fright when they heard torture, but look at her like this The meaning seems to be too much.Song Xiaocheng was a little uncertain. At this time, someone was looking for her outside, so she went out first.

It was the eunuch next to Dai Jun who came here, and only a few confidantes knew about it.The eunuch said that Mr. Dai wanted Takayama Harumi to reveal the secrets of the Orientals, and it would be okay to use torture when necessary. The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice was also curious about what she was not afraid of, so he discussed it outside for a while.At this time, a guard came out from the dark room to report, he whipped Gao Shanchunmei a few times, but she didn't feel the pain at all, and she kept laughing there, never seen such a person.

Song Xiaocheng recalled the reason for this, and suddenly clapped her hands: "I remembered, when I was brushing her hair that day, I saw her take out a box of 'candy' to eat, and I asked her casually for one later. She didn't care at all whether the box of candy has analgesic effect, it's small and round, a bit like ecstasy/pills in our modern world." The eunuch hurriedly ordered his confidants to check her room, and be careful not to disturb anyone people.

I quickly found the box and called the imperial physician to see it. It was indeed a long-term use of pain-relieving drugs, but after taking it, I would become addicted.No wonder Gao Shanchunmei is so confident and not afraid of torture, the eunuch is also a little embarrassed, Song Xiaocheng touched the ecstasy powder on her waist, and there is still a small half bottle, wondering if it is enough to deal with Gao Shanchunmei who is resistant to medicine.

With the emperor as the backstage, Song Xiaocheng became more courageous, poured the medicine powder into the water, and asked the guards to go in and give Gao Shanchunmei a dose.After a while, Song Xiaocheng poked her head to see the situation. Gao Shanchunmei was still tightly bound, her long hair was hanging down, and her eyes were closed. "Hey, why don't you make cross-eyed eyes? Could it be that my medicine powder doesn't work?" Song Xiaocheng was obviously a little impatient. The guard asked her to raise her head and open her eyes. Gao Shanchunmei's eyes were distracted, and she was muttering something with her mouth half open.It seems that it is not ineffective, but that the ecstasy/pills and ecstasy she took at first produced antagonism. Can you ask the real situation and give it a try.

Song Xiaocheng and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice formed a temporary interrogation team and asked the guards to go out as well. This news cannot be revealed to the outside world.Song Xiaocheng thought about it and asked Gao Shan Chunmei:

"Seeing that there are samurai and geisha among you, tell me, where are the ninjas?"

"Hee hee, I don't know... A ninja is me, you fools, can't women be ninjas?" Takayama Harumi laughed and said that they were too stupid.

"You are a ninja, so why did you come to the palace?"

"Hey, it's not just assassination. Your country also has assassins. It's really ignorant."

"Who are you going to assassinate, and what is the conspiracy of the Orientals?"

"We... have no tricks. We just want to assassinate your emperor. We... will occupy your land and enslave your people... We don't have any tricks." Gao Shanchunmei spoke in a knot, Song Xiaocheng had already I understand, it's about the same as what she thought in her heart.The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was very shocked and wanted to continue the interrogation, but Harumi Gao Shan probably had too strong a drug in her body, and passed out after saying something vaguely.

After leaving the darkroom, Song Xiaocheng told the eunuch the whole story.Including Concubine Sheng who thought that she could get rid of the queen by finding Takayama Harumi. She thought that the Dongyang people only wanted Beiming Island. Who would have thought that their appetite was so great that there was a deeper conspiracy.Takayama Harumi, the female ninja, apparently agreed to assassinate the queen. In fact, she planned to assassinate Dai Jun when she was lucky. If the young concubine Sheng's son succeeds to the throne, there will be chaos in the country, and the Orientals will take advantage of the opportunity. Make demands for more land.

The eunuch was also shocked when he learned about this, and hurried to report to Mr. Dai.Song Xiaocheng returned to Hualan Palace as if nothing had happened. Shuping had already noticed that they had disappeared, so she asked anxiously when she saw her.Of course, Song Xiaocheng didn't say anything, and pretended to be stupid with her.

Two days later, news came that Mr. Dai temporarily deprived Concubine Sheng's son of the crown prince, and her arrogance also dropped a lot.Everyone in the palace was discussing secretly, no one knew why, Dai Jun put aside the matter of the beauty pageant for the time being, and instead concentrated on the court, sent envoys to Beiming Island to negotiate with the Dongyang people, If they dare to attack again, don't blame him for being rude.

Takayama Harumi was locked in the darkroom of the Ministry of Justice. There have been rumors outside these days. Some say she is an oriental banshee, some say she didn't make Dai Jun happy. Anyway, there are all kinds of things. After all, Shuping has had a relationship with her. Skin-to-skin relatives also secretly inquired, but no one could get accurate information.Song Xiaocheng pretended to be calm in the inner palace, as if she had nothing to do with herself, but she was actually very happy in her heart: this matter was all due to her.Even the queen was alarmed by the matter of Gao Shan Chunmei. Nanny Long and Eunuch Shen came to Song Xiaocheng one after another, wanting to ask some inside information, how could Song Xiaocheng leak the news.She didn't know what to ask, all she thought about was Yuan Qingzhu's eyes, and it was almost the end of the day. I don't know if Doctor Bai's elixir is effective?

Taking advantage of the chaos in the palace, Song Xiaocheng asked the eunuch to go out of the palace because she helped Mr. Dai.The eunuch gave a token to leave the palace freely, as long as he came back before closing the palace gate.Song Xiaocheng was so anxious that she ran all the way to the inn. The waiter was very surprised when she saw her: "Hey, girl, didn't you enter the palace to enjoy the blessings? Why did you come back alone again?"

Song Xiaocheng didn't bother to talk to them at all, and ran upstairs like flying, calling the name of her beloved.Linglong and Badger ran out to meet her, and Song Xiaocheng hurriedly pulled them along and asked, "How is it, did Qingzhu see it?" Badger sighed with a fat face, "Please, Miss Song, even if it's a panacea, it's not so powerful. Well, Doctor Bai said that the medicine bag applied to the eyes will disperse the poison. Linglong boils her a bowl of very, very bitter traditional Chinese medicine every day. come."

Song Xiaocheng ran into the house with a little joy and anticipation.As soon as she stepped in, she smelled an extremely bitter and stuffy smell. She couldn't help pinching her nose: "What kind of smell is it so painful." Holding a bowl of steaming black Chinese medicine in his hand, he was blowing and drinking slowly.

Hearing Song Xiaocheng's voice, she was so happy that she wanted to get up, but when she heard her say that the smell was bad, Yuan Qingzhu hurriedly comforted her: "You are here, it smells bad, don't wait until I finish drinking it and you will drink it." I can't smell it anymore." As she spoke, she took the bowl and drank it quickly, frowning.

"No, Qingzhu," Song Xiaocheng hurried forward to hold her hand, "This bowl is really too hot, why don't you drink it later, I can't bear it just by smelling it, you still have to drink it down, It's really hard work." Yuan Qingzhu smiled like a spring flower: "It's not bitter at all, I think I can see your appearance after drinking it, even poison/drug I have to drink it." Song Xiaocheng's face showed Blush: "Qingzhu, you have always been cold, I am so happy to see you smiling. You are so eager to see me, I have a lot to say to you."

Badger and Linglong also entered the room and closed the door.Yuan Qingzhu knew that she must have something important to do when she came back this time, so she drank the hot Chinese medicine with sourness and bitterness, and ate some mint to clean her breath: "This time the house is tasteless, I am very worried about how you are in the palace, I have medicine bags on my eyes and I can't do strenuous exercise, so I just sit here and worry about you like a useless person." The badger also squeaked: "Miss Yuan is talking about you every day, and she even asked me to come into the palace to see if I can I can help you, but the palace wall is too high, and I, a road blind, don't even know where you are."

Song Xiaocheng patted its chubby head: "You don't need to worry about this cute road-blind badger, you just need to take good care of Qingzhu here, and I'm doing things in the palace quite smoothly, so I'll tell you ” She told them about participating in the top three beauty pageants, discussing with Dai Jun, capturing the female ninja Harumi Takayama, and finding out the real purpose of the Dongyang people...all these things.

Linglong patted the table: "The ambitions of these Dongyang people are really great. It doesn't count if they want to seize Beiming Island, but they also want to assassinate the emperor to control the government?" Badger told her to keep her voice down, because she slipped her mouth last time. Almost ruined the plan.Linglong pulled Song Xiaocheng and asked anxiously, what to do with Beiming Island, and whether her relatives on the island would be in danger.

Song Xiaocheng reassured her not to worry, Mr. Dai doesn't seem to be a stupid person, he has already sent envoys to Beiming Island to find them to strongly condemn, this is of course an attitude of courtesy first and soldiers later.Linglong clenched her fists: "It should have been like this a long time ago, drive them all out, don't harass our people, or give them a good look."

Speaking of Takayama Harumi, it turns out that she is the ninja foreseen by the badger. She colluded with Concubine Sheng for mutual benefit on the surface, but in fact it is to control Concubine Sheng's young son in the future.Badger scratched his head: "No wonder there have been some rumors in the capital these days, saying that the emperor removed Concubine Sheng's son from the position of crown prince, and the news spread in the city, saying that the queen has found a beautiful woman who is better than Concubine Sheng , the emperor has a heart to love the new and forget the old, so that's not the case."

"So, as long as you have heard the rumors in the market, I am a real experiencer, and you should trust me the most." Song Xiaocheng was very proud, and Yuan Qingzhu took her hand: "I am here to drink medicine. What, you have worked hard in the palace." Song Xiaocheng laughed: "It's nothing, of course I won't work in vain, if I help the emperor in this way, if the matter of Beiming Island is over in the future, then I will be a great hero, Your Majesty I will definitely be rewarded."

"Then what reward have you thought about?" Yuan Qingzhu asked with a smile.Song Xiaocheng's hand was clenched in hers, and she looked at her thin cheek with distress: "I have already thought about it, I hope the emperor can gather the power of the whole country and find a way to help you cure your eyes, Doctor Bai Although it is true that you are a genius doctor, but there are people out there in this world, I believe that as long as the emperor gives an order, Qingzhu, your eyesight will definitely recover."

Yuan Qingzhu's face was moved: "Although I can't see you now, my heart can see you." He clenched Song Xiaocheng's hand again.Badger was also moved by her words, and couldn't help wiping his face. Seeing that they were so close, Linglong sighed softly, knowing that she was hopeless.Song Xiaocheng turned to thank her again: "Thank you, Linglong, too. Badgers don't know how to cook medicine. Thanks to you for grabbing and decocting medicine, you did a lot of things that I couldn't do. Thank you for your hard work." Linglong She smiled shyly: "Compared to the great things you have done, I am nothing. If the eyes of the heroine can see, I will bless you too."

Speaking of which, the doctor Bai came, and they hurriedly let him see how the curative effect was.Physician Bai first took the pulse, and then wanted to see Yuan Qingzhu's eyes with the medicine bag on them. Suddenly, she said: "Let Song Xiaocheng go to another room temporarily, I don't want her to see my eyes." Song Xiaocheng momentarily A little overwhelmed, she really wanted to see what Yuan Qingzhu's beautiful eyes shone like obsidian, Badger tugged at her skirt: "Miss Yuan doesn't want to disappoint you, Miss Song, go to the side Come on, I'll call you later."

Song Xiaocheng understood Yuan Qingzhu's thoughts, she waited by the side for a while, and the badger really came to call her.Asked how the treatment is going, Doctor Bai said that the effect of removing the toxin is not bad, and if you continue to apply external application and oral administration in the future, it will definitely cure the snake venom.Song Xiaocheng still wanted to ask the question clearly, and asked him about how long it would take. Physician Bai claimed that his medicine was the only one in the country, and the effect was already the fastest. It would take another ten days and a half to remove the residual poison question.

After saying this, they felt relieved, and Linglong sent the imperial doctor away.Song Xiaocheng sat beside Yuan Qingzhu, holding her hand, Yuan Qingzhu held her backhand with a smile: "It's really thanks to you, I never dreamed that there would be an imperial doctor to treat me." "It should be , When I go back to the palace and see Mr. Dai again, I will apply to him to gather the power of famous doctors all over the country, and I will definitely cure you."

On the contrary, Yuan Qingzhu comforted her: "The treatment is very good now, and you don't have to be too impatient. A person's hope is too strong will often become his weakness. Although the emperor has secretly discussed with you, but Sheng Concubine and the empress are on your side. You have to be careful yourself." Yuan Qingzhu seemed to feel that it was not enough after eating a little mint, so he simply grabbed a handful and chewed it in his mouth, probably to get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth.Others don't know why she loves cleaning so much, but Song Xiaocheng knew it at a glance, her face flushed slightly.

Badger jumped onto the table, tilted his fat head and asked her: "Miss Song, it seems that you enjoy yourself in the palace. Have you seen Huiyu?" Didn't think about it: "It was supposed to choose the top three concubine Sheng, and then compare with the stunning beauty Huiyu found by the queen, but now that something like this happened, the queen hid her tightly again, I have no chance at all See you."

Yuan Qingzhu held her hand, soft and gentle: "There is no rush, your safety is the most important thing." Badger rolled on the table twice, as if a little upset: "Didn't Huiyu say that she has two One hope, one is to find an elixir for Miss Yuan to cure your eyes; the other is to become the most beautiful woman in the world, I think she is rushing to the second hope, she is the beauty that the queen likes, and she will definitely not be treated badly Why didn't she think of going to the Royal Pharmacy to help you see it?" Song Xiaocheng didn't say a word after hearing this, and looked at Yuan Qingzhu unconsciously, but Yuan Qingzhu held her hand even tighter: "It's okay, I just want to You are enough." She blushed and lowered her head.

At this time, Linglong sent Doctor Bai away and went back to the room: "Actually, I wanted to ask just now. Guess what, Doctor Bai heard a strange thing in the imperial pharmacy." They all asked her to sit down and talk slowly, Linglong told They seem to be the stunning beauties found by the queen, and they seem to be in very bad health. They often ask the maids to go to the imperial pharmacy to seek medical treatment, and they also say that they are looking for medicine to restore eyesight. The imperial physicians do not have such prescriptions.

Physician Bai didn't know that Yuan Qingzhu was Huiyu's senior sister. He had a unique secret recipe for removing snake venom and wanted to use it for Yuan Qingzhu first. If he could cure her, he would apply to see a doctor for the stunning beauty Huiyu. Don't worry.He shouldn't have said these words in the first place, because the good effect of the medicine put him in a good mood, and Linglong tricked him out after asking him a few times.

Badger was very happy to hear that: "Miss Linglong, it seems that you are not a teammate of pigs, you are really good." Linglong was very proud: "How, the news I asked is quite useful." Yuan Qingzhu nodded and said yes It turned out that Huiyu didn't completely forget her, and she still cared about Zeng Ri's relationship between teachers and sisters.Song Xiaocheng's complexion here is not particularly good-looking, why did she talk about Huiyu again so well.

She still had to go back to the palace first and couldn't stay for long, Yuan Qingzhu sent her to the door of the room, but told Badger and Linglong to go elsewhere first.They were also very sensible and knew not to disturb, so they ran away laughing.

Song Xiaocheng stood in front of the closed door, said blushingly, "Is there anything else I want to say, I'm going back to the palace."

"You really want to go back?"

"Of course not, but it's getting late and the palace gates are closed. I can't let others know that I'm not on the side of Concubine Sheng or the Empress. I'm on the side of the Emperor. It's not good to be discovered by others. What do you think?" Song Xiaocheng wanted to be hypocritical, but suddenly her body was pressed against the door and her lips were kissed.Instinctively, she closed her eyes and enjoyed it slowly, only feeling that time stopped at this moment, hoping that the longer the kiss, the better.
