Transmigrated into the daughter of the prime minister, and thrived in space
Chapter 276 Returning to Beijing and Being Attacked
The group walked for two days and one night and stopped at Caomao Mountain to rest.
Yu Xiaoqiao leaned on Si Wenming's shoulder, looking at the night that was like a dark ocean, and the birds that had forgotten to go home and were still circling in the treetops, cooing.
Yu Xiaoqiao felt inexplicably panicked by the call.
Perhaps it was not the birds singing, but the sudden recollection of the heaviness that Si Wenming had deliberately concealed before they left Haojing.
Yu Xiaoqiao tilted her head and secretly looked at the profile of her lover. The fair and soft jawline had a hint of tranquility... It had intoxicated and fascinated so many women.
She couldn't help but stare in amazement, and her hand couldn't help but touch it, but she stopped when it was about to touch it.
Si Wenming didn't notice it, and just stared at the circling and chirping birds...
Although Yu Xiaoqiao did not see his thick and slightly heavy eyes, but after spending a long time together, she could feel that he was relaxed and heavy at the moment.
He said he was relaxed because in front of Yu Xiaoqiao, he didn't need to hide any emotions and could be his true self.
I say heavy because what he is thinking about right now must be something important...
Yu Xiaoqiao did not ask. It was unknown whether she was afraid or she was confident that he could handle it.
Anyway, she didn't ask.
I just grabbed his hand and stroked it gently.
Si Wenming grabbed her hand with his backhand and held it tightly until his palms were sweaty, but he did not let go.
The two were in the quiet night, letting their worries run wild, when suddenly several sharp rays of light pierced them.
There were more than a dozen people on the other side, all of whom were very skilled in martial arts. It seemed that their goal was not to assassinate, but... to be precise, they came for the Rakshasa Ring on Yu Xiaoqiao's neck.
After a fierce battle, the intruders failed to succeed.
Si Wenming was cut on the arm by a sword in order to protect Yu Xiaoqiao, but the wound was not deep.
Yu Xiaoqiao was bandaging him, but Si Wenming's attention was not on his wound at all, as if he was concentrating on thinking about something.
"Could it be my second brother? The person who came is aiming for the Rakshasa Ring. Could it be... my mother?" Li Lingyan stood aside, frowning and muttering to himself.
Yu Xiaoqiao glanced at Si Wenming who showed no reaction, and bit her lip. "Ling Yan, don't worry, the Queen's poison can be cured! Everything depends on human effort... I, you must have confidence!"
She looked at the old tree curled up at her feet, and her voice became smaller and smaller with less confidence.
Lao Mu said that the Queen's condition was not optimistic, and they could only think of ways to suppress the poison and prolong her life, but...
Si Wenming didn't say anything. He looked up at Li Lingyan from his deep thought, stretched out his uninjured hand, placed it on his shoulder, and patted him twice.
Yu Xiaoqiao's heart tightened involuntarily. She talked with Li Lingyan for a long time before returning to her room to rest.
Lao Mu saw her enter the makeshift camping tent and hurried to her side. "Xiao Qiao, I always feel that this group of people today are not simple. You said they came for the Rakshasa Ring, right? But I always feel that something is wrong."
"I feel the same as you. Wen Ming's wound was very shallow, and you also checked to see if he was poisoned. But... all the men in black retreated after Wen Ming was injured. This makes it impossible for me to determine the purpose of these people..." Yu Xiaoqiao frowned and analyzed with a serious face.
Li Lingyan might have been too concerned and neglected all the details.
But... Wenming doesn't know how to do that!
Yu Xiaoqiao was about to walk out, but Lao Mu stopped her, "I just said that Li Lingyan was too concerned and confused, and you followed in his footsteps... Your Master Si is such a great man! How could you not notice it?"
"Oh, I... let's study the Queen's poison!" Yu Xiaoqiao looked towards the tent door, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
Lao Mu took out a small blue floral package from the corner and held it to Yu Xiaoqiao with difficulty. "Open it... and see if there is anything useful?"
Yu Xiaoqiao suddenly remembered and hurriedly opened it. There were more than a dozen books on detoxification inside.
It was the day before leaving. Qing Lingping saw Yu Xiaoqiao taking a walk in the palace. She came over and chatted with her for a while. When she left, she casually threw the bag to her.
The bag with blue and white floral patterns really doesn't match Qing Lingping's cool and elegant temperament.
She didn't explain much, just said casually, "I have nothing to do, so I collected some interesting books on detoxification in Northern Xinjiang. You can take them back and take a look at them. Maybe someone can benefit from them..."
When Qing Lingping handed the book to Yu Xiaoqiao, her face was dull and she looked nonchalant, so Yu Xiaoqiao thought it was just an ordinary medical book.
But when she slowly opened it... Lao Mu's dog jaw almost dropped in shock!
Yu Xiaoqiao never imagined that the small bundle that Qing Lingping casually handed her actually contained a rare book on antidote that even Lao Mu couldn't take his eyes off.
"Qing Lingping is so devoted to her master..." Lao Mu sighed with a click of his tongue.
Yu Xiaoqiao flipped through medical books one by one, "I guess Qing Lingping started collecting antidote books after Wen Ming was poisoned two years ago..."
Lao Mu didn't hear her words. He had already buried his head in the medical book, as if he had seen a huge bone. He didn't raise his head for two hours.
Yu Xiaoqiao didn't understand, so she could only give moral support, light a lamp for Lao Mu, and pass him water...
The lights in Si Wenming's tent were also on all night.
He did not read the book, but read letters all night... Most of them were information sent by Fanyin Pavilion, and some were letters related to business transactions of the Si family.
While Li Mochen was on a visit to the northern border, the emperor eliminated most of his power in the court and replaced them all with his own confidants.
Some of them really couldn't move and couldn't get rid of the old, so they adopted a policy of recruiting new people, injecting fresh blood into Li Mochen's iron-clad sphere of influence.
During the time when Si Wen ordered them to come to the northern border, Yu Xiang stayed at home and rarely went out, often claiming to be sick and not attending court...
After Li Mochen returned early, he also took action…but he did not focus on the places that had been cleared by the emperor, but instead focused on a few key positions, and only fought for a few deputy positions.
It was done in a very covert way, and if the people from Fanyin Pavilion had not been paying attention to Li Mochen for a long time, they would not have been able to discover it.
However, because Li Mochen was fighting for the person who was still in the position, there was no better way to replace him immediately.
Si Wenming stared at the list handed over by Yue Yang... He was lost in thought for a long time, and heavily circled several names.
"Control these guys! No matter the means, as long as the result..."
Yue Yang nodded, took the list, turned around and left.
