Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book
Chapter 299 Falling into the Trap
Although the carriage started moving, I clearly felt that the route was wrong. It was not leaving the palace, but turning a corner.
The person who was supposed to be following the car also fell silent. I moved closer to the car window, lifted the curtain and took a look, then reached under the seat and felt around.
This is not the carriage I took when I entered the palace. Although its appearance is almost exactly the same as mine, the extra clothes I took off when I entered the palace were clearly stuffed into the partition at the bottom, but now they are gone.
Without my order, no one would dare to enter the carriage where I was sitting and search, let alone secretly take away my clothes.
"Where are we going?" I asked the driver in front of me through the wooden board of the carriage.
But the other party seemed to be concentrating on driving and completely ignored my questions.
I crouched down and moved a little, then kicked the driver.
I didn't use any martial arts, I just took a deep breath and used some internal energy, and then with a cracking sound, the entire frame of the carriage was kicked apart by me. The driver in front of me didn't expect this to happen, and he was kicked on the back by me, and flew out and fell under the hooves of the horse in front of him.
The trained horse nimbly avoided him, but at the same time, as if frightened, it pulled the broken carriage off the route.
I landed steadily on the ground and was surrounded by the imperial guards who suddenly emerged from all directions.
"I didn't know the princess had such skills." The team was led by Zhang Man, deputy commander of the imperial guards. I have dealt with him before. He has a bad temper and is also highly appreciated by Jiang Huan.
He waved his hand, and then asked the imperial guards behind him to put back their unsheathed weapons. "Since the princess already knows, please go ahead."
I looked around, cursed a few words in my heart, and could only follow them and move forward.
"My people, you didn't touch them, did you?"
"I dare not. Those people from the princess's mansion should have escorted the carriage out of the palace by now." But there was no hint of fear in his tone.
After a short walk, I was brought to the original Xuanqing Temple, which has been converted from a Taoist temple into a Zen temple. Previously, I could smell the strong scent of incense sticks as soon as I approached, but now there are only various green plants and the faint scent of grass and flowers, which looks very natural.
I thought I would see Jiang Huan here, but after I came in, I saw Twelve, or should I call him Grand Chamberlain Zhou Desheng. And he was not alone, the person standing next to him was someone I had seen before, the old Gu Master who wanted to use me as a material for making Gu.
"The princess is very busy right now. In order to meet you alone, I have to resort to this last resort. Please forgive me!" Butler Zhou stepped forward and gave me a false greeting, but the expression on his face did not look like a genuine apology.
"Is this the mission assigned to you by His Majesty?" I couldn't really tell when the person in front of me became so unfamiliar. We used to sit together, drink tea and chat, and we talked about everything...
He squinted his eyes, his smile not reaching his eyes, "Without the order of His Majesty, we dare not act in this way. After all, the princess is a daughter of gold..."
"Just tell me, what do you want to do?" As I spoke, my eyes involuntarily stared at the Gu Master next to him.
This bad old man was also staring at me with a sinister expression as if he was looking at his prey.
"It's for a national event, and the princess needs to make a small sacrifice." He then explained the plague in Youzhou in a light-hearted manner, and pointed out that the so-called plague was nothing more than someone secretly poisoning.
Although the perpetrator has not yet been caught, we have a clue. He is a Gu Master from the Yuexi tribe. It is still unknown how much connection they have with the Dayue Kingdom.
The statement given after negotiating with the Dayue delegation was just as Wujiu had mentioned to me privately before, that they had evidence to prove that those Gu Masters had been lurking in Qi several years ago, and that they hated Dayue, which had just regained its country, and did not listen to his king's orders at all. They were Dayue's rebel refugees and had nothing to do with Dayue.
Then came the key point. The poison spread very quickly and had an extremely high mortality rate. Ordinary doctors were completely helpless and needed the Yuexi Gu technique to detoxify it.
The old poison master beside him just happened to have the solution, but he was missing one necessary ingredient, which was my blood, and moreover, my heart blood.
This reminded me of when I was in Zhou State, Situ Jue also said he wanted my blood.
I feel like my character is stuck in some weird sadomasochistic story. What exactly is Heart Blood? Is there any scientific basis for this method of removing the poison? How much is needed? If the amount is too large, will I die? If I don't give it, can I still leave?
Maybe my mental activities were projected onto my facial expressions, butler Zhou immediately added, "It only takes a little blood. Give it to Mr. Ha Lan, and he will be able to make enough antidote. It won't hurt the princess at all."
Mr. Harlan? That must be the Gu Master's name.
When he heard this, he couldn't wait to pick up the blood collection tool in his hand and walked forward.
When I saw the yellow bamboo tube, my brows immediately frowned.
In fact, I shouldn't refuse this matter. Just donating some blood can save a city of people. This deal is very cost-effective.
But I have never had a good impression of this old man, so I gritted my teeth and said to Manager Zhou, "He can't touch me. If you want to draw blood, you do it!"
Manager Zhou looked slightly surprised, but did not refute. He negotiated briefly with Ha Lan, took the tools, and prepared to start.
Everyone else went outside to avoid the situation. I unbuttoned my outer robe, removed a few of the false collars and put them aside.
When Manager Zhou came back from closing the door, he was stunned for a moment when he saw me quickly preparing myself. His eyes were a little evasive, "Princess... you don't have to do this..."
I could actually see a trace of embarrassment on his face. I asked in confusion, "You've already... well, the chief eunuch, you shouldn't mind the separation of men and women, right?"
He coughed dryly a few times, and his cheeks turned even redder, but his hands did not hesitate at all.
First I used a sharp knife to make a hole, and then inserted the silver sheet on the bamboo tube into the wound to collect blood. The pain was so severe that I tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, bit my lower lip but couldn't help sobbing, and physiological tears kept flowing down. Although this body has become very strong in self-healing ability, it still hurts when it hurts.
When the bamboo tube was almost full, he pulled the silver piece out of the wound and pressed several acupuncture points on my body to stop the bleeding.
I closed my eyes, secretly practiced Qigong and regulated my breathing, but my body was still shaking slightly uncontrollably. Even if the bleeding from the one-inch-deep hole in my chest stopped, it would not heal quickly. But when I heard him deliver the bamboo tube to the door, the people outside were very happy to receive it and praised it repeatedly.
After a while, he came back, walked quietly to my side, and helped me put on my clothes from behind. "How do you feel, Princess? Do you need the imperial physician to come and see you? I'll prescribe some more blood-replenishing and nourishing prescriptions for you."
