The ink-colored concoction in the white porcelain bowl doesn't look very good, and the wafting medicinal smell has a strong bitter taste, which makes people sick.

Jiang Zhao brought the medicine bowl close to his lips, frowning slightly.

"Did Master Jiang change the prescription? The taste of this medicine seems to be different from the previous one." Jiang Zhao was slightly disgusted.

In fact, he is not afraid of bitterness, but the taste of bitterness is one of the few tastes that can arouse his disgust.

Xiao Congwang glanced at the ink-like medicine, thinking of Jiang Fengjing's words, he felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

"Master Jiang said that the prescription should be changed. After the medicinal bath, the medicine for the symptom should also be changed."

Jiang Zhao nodded when he heard the words. He brought the medicine bowl close to his pale lips, and drank it in one gulp without any expression of disgust.

Putting down the medicine bowl, a candied fruit wrapped in icing sugar appeared in front of my eyes.

Xiao Congwang: "Yao Xi gave it to me just now, saying that the emperor can take the medicine after drinking it."

A smile appeared on Jiang Zhao's lips, "Yao Xi is treating me like a child, I'm not afraid of taking medicine."

There was a hint of childishness in his tone.Jiang Zhao didn't realize it himself, and he didn't realize that he complained to Xiao Congwang about the pain of medicine very naturally just now.

In the past, no matter what his emotions were, he hid them by himself.

Jiang Zhao picked up the candied fruit and put it in his mouth, the sweet taste spreading in his mouth made him squint his eyes happily.

Next to the fire, the butcher has already processed the various parts of the meat. Someone went to wash it and then took out the ingredients that had been prepared and spread it on it, ready to start roasting.

Yao Xi and Yao Shun walked over with food boxes, Yao Xi smiled and said: "So the emperor is here, the servant has warmed up the food, the emperor hasten to eat."

They set off in a hurry, but the meals were still carefully prepared, and they were all light tastes that Jiang Zhao liked.

But at this moment, Jiang Zhao's eyes fell on the barbecue, staring at it intently, "I want to eat barbecue, but I haven't eaten this kind of barbecue before."

"But your body, Your Majesty..." Yao Xi hesitated, seeing that he was so happy and couldn't bear to refuse, he had no choice but to look at Yao Shun.

Yao Shun didn't know what to do, so he could only ask the regent, "My lord..."

"I want to eat." Jiang Zhao said, "It's just a little bit, it's fine."

He lowered his eyes, looking aggrieved, he didn't understand why he was restricted just for eating.

Xiao Congxuan nodded, "Okay, let the emperor try it out. Originally, the rabbit was also prepared for the emperor. The emperor can try the roast pork first."

Jiang Zhao hummed lightly, and his eyes fell on the fire.

Yao Xi and Yao Shun could see that the emperor was not happy, but they had to be careful in serving him as personal eunuchs.

Yao Xi moved closer to his elder brother and whispered: "Brother, have you noticed that the emperor has been talking a lot these days?"

Yao Shun thought for a while, then nodded, "It seems that I didn't notice it even if you didn't tell me, and my mood will be better, unlike what I said before, like a clay figurine."

Yao Xi sighed, "The current Emperor is really kind, it's a pity..."

Xiao Congwang asked someone to come and go and give a few orders, and soon the meat was roasted and brought over, with the smell of roast meat wafting all the way.

The grilled part is the freshest and tender part, fat and thin, and the corners are slightly rolled up, shining with oil, it looks delicious.

"Your Majesty, please use it."

Jiang Zhao couldn't wait to take the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. The soldier carrying the barbecue had swallowed several times and looked at him expectantly.

The next moment, Jiang Zhao stood up abruptly and ran towards the edge of the woods.

The soldier was startled and stood there bewildered.

Xiao Congwang patted him once, beckoning him to go back, and he followed quickly.

Jiang Zhao propped himself up on the tree trunk, feeling like he had vomited everything out of his stomach. The tears flowed from his eyes, but he couldn't stop them. His throat felt burning due to vomiting.

He's still retching.

It wasn't until he couldn't even vomit out the gastric juice that he leaned against the tree as if collapsed.

With his head down, he slid on the ground against the tree trunk, and when he was about to touch the ground, he was hugged into his arms.

"Is the emperor okay?" Xiao Congwang hugged him tightly, let him lean into his arms, and looked at him with his head down, "I've finished vomiting the medicine juice, I'll let Yao Xi boil it again."

Jiang Zhao leaned softly on him, almost without any strength.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Xiao Congwang, with bright red eyes and tears all over his face, "I'm sorry, I'm self-willed, I should listen to you, don't eat barbecue."

Xiao Congwang looked at the tear stains on his face, even though he knew that he was not crying, he still felt as fragile as a little flower in the wind, which would break when blown.

An inexplicable emotion came to my heart.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to apologize." Xiao Congwang's deep, reassuring voice came from his chest, "With my minister here, you can try anything you want, as long as there is no personal danger, I will protect the Emperor."

Jiang Zhao was silent for a long while without speaking. He wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, the corners of his eyes became redder and his lips became paler.

Leaning in Xiao Congwang's arms like this is really bad, but he really has no strength.

He lightly pursed his lower lip, "My lord, please take me back to the carriage."

It's not a good look either.

Xiao Congwang picked him up and walked towards the carriage. Now he has become more proficient in his hugging posture, and he can always find the most comfortable posture for the person in his arms.

He walked steadily towards the carriage, and the soldiers in the distance stretched their necks to look at it. It was just now that the emperor's reaction made them a little uneasy.

Seeing the emperor being hugged by the prince, everyone guessed that something happened to the emperor.

Liang Kun was roasting rabbits, seeing the prince's calm face, he immediately lifted the alarm.

"In the past, I only heard that the emperor was weak and sick, but I didn't want to see him today. It is true. His face is so pale, and I can smell the bitterness of the concoction. I heard the barefoot doctor say that any seriously ill person will die if he touches meat. Vomit. The emperor is so good-looking, how could he be so seriously ill, what a pity."

"But I heard that the emperor was in a gloomy mood before, but today I don't think it's as rumored."

He said in a low voice, just talking to Wei Xun who was beside him. Wei Xun's eyes fell on the carriage, "I heard that Mrs. Jiang was born with illnesses. Most of them are weak and sick, but they are all very smart. The current emperor has a gentle personality and does not seem to be fake. Otherwise, the prince would not treat each other like this now."

Liang Kun looked strange, "That is, who has ever seen the prince hug someone?"

"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with the emperor, whether he will punish us or not."

Yao Xi and Yao Shun got into the car and helped Jiang Zhao in. Jiang Zhao stopped, turned to Xiao Congwang and said, "My lord, please tell the soldiers that the barbecue tastes good, and there are rewards for them. Let them continue to eat." , don't worry about me."

Xiao Cong looked at him intently, "Your Majesty, don't worry about them, take a good rest and remember to drink medicine."

Just as Jiang Zhao was leaning on the big welcoming pillow, he heard voices coming from outside, and the atmosphere was very good.

He hooked the corners of his lips, fortunately, it didn't affect everyone's happiness because of him.

After a while, someone came over with a pile of rabbit meat and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the roasted rabbit meat that the prince asked his subordinates to bring for you to taste. The prince said that the rabbit meat is firm and not greasy. You can try it." .”

Jiang Zhao motioned for Yao Xi to take over.

Yao Xi rushed to the soldiers and said, "Thank you brother for sending it."

The soldier scratched his head, hummed twice and left.

"Your majesty wants to taste it." Yao Xi took out a small plate, "It looks like a layer of honey has been smeared on it."

Jiang Zhao was not interested at first, so he waited to drink the medicine and then took a rest. When he heard Yao Xi say this, he looked over, and saw that the roasted rabbit meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. honey.

Just now he vomited cleanly, but he was really hungry right now, he hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the hunger, "I'll try a piece."

As soon as the rabbit meat was eaten, Jiang Zhao's eyes lit up, "It's delicious."

The rabbit meat is firm, crispy and fragrant, and the honey on it is just right, with a hint of sweetness.

Jiang Zhao stretched out his hand to take it again, but Yao Xi stuffed a piece of soft pastry, "The emperor will eat this, let's try the rabbit meat."

Just now he and Yao Shun were scared to death.

Jiang Zhao sighed compromisingly, "Okay, give me the medicine, and I'll sleep for a while after drinking it."

Beside the fire, Xiao Congwang ate barbecue with the soldiers. He had bright eyes and a solemn demeanor, and his eyes fell on the sparks.

"My lord." A delicate court lady walked up to him and brought a burst of fragrant wind. She said delicately, "This is a good wine specially prepared by my servants for my lord. My lord should drink some to warm my body."

The firelight imprinted on her cheeks, blocking her shyness.

Xiao Congxuan's gaze turned to her, his eyes were dark and devoid of any emotion, so indifferent that he refused to be seen thousands of miles away.

His voice was so deep that it made people's heart tense, "Who asked you to bring wine to this king?"

The maid's face froze, "It's the servant girl herself."

His voice became deeper: "Be good at serving the emperor, if there is negligence, you will be punished severely."

The maid's voice trembled, "Yes."

She didn't dare to look up again, and hurried away with her head down.

As the sky was getting dark, Xiao Congwang stood up and said in a deep voice, "Clean up and put out the fire, and continue to set off."

Jiang Fengjing changed into green smoke-colored round-pattern uniforms, packed the medicine box with a serious expression, and said to a medical attendant in the dark who was arranging medicinal materials: "I'm going out of the palace, you can watch in the palace."

The medical attendant raised his extremely ordinary face and said respectfully: "Master, don't worry, your subordinates will definitely watch over you."

Jiang Fengjing went all the way to the most prosperous Fangshi, and went into a big pharmacy with a medicine box on his shoulders. After entering, he turned to the back hall.

Inside, all the doctors and attendants in blue saluted respectfully. He walked straight to the backyard without squinting. After passing the backyard, there was a bamboo forest, and further down was a small courtyard with guards guarding the door.

Jiang Fengjing was not blocked all the way until he walked into a room where several people were busy, and a woman in red was sitting on a high seat.

He walked up to the woman and called out, "Sister."

Jiang Hongxiao glanced at him, pressed the mechanism on the armrest, and the place where the two of them were was sank, and they soon entered another secret room.

"What's the matter, I found it in such a hurry."

Jiang Fengjing looked calm, still like a gentle and jade-like son.

"The emperor is poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Jiang Hongxiao looked at him in surprise, "What poison?"

"I don't know."

Jiang Hongxiao laughed, "There are poisons in this world that you don't know about?"

Jiang Fengjing looked at her, "Sister, do you really not know?"

"Are you questioning me?"

Jiang Fengjing said: "Sis, as the leader of Baixiao Pavilion, it is doubtful if you don't know that the emperor is poisoned. Even Yu Wenxu wants to buy news from you. If you don't know, no one will know."

Jiang Hongxiao's smile faded away, looked at Jiang Fengjing for a while, and said slowly: "Tell me, what are you doing here. I really don't know how and when the emperor was poisoned."
