I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!
Chapter 8 The poisoner
"I can see it. You're as thin as a chicken. What kind of life have you been living..." An Huanyan circled her slender wrist.
"It's good now, I'll enjoy the good life with you!" Jiang Xingkuo didn't forget to reply even though his mouth was full.
"That's for sure! If I have a meal, you will have a meal!" An Huanyan patted his chest.
While eating, Jiang Xingkuo recalled the day when he traveled through time.
Her naive best friend An Huanyan was fooled by a bearded Taoist priest and spent 8,888 yuan to buy a pair of black bracelets.
"An! Huan! Yan! Do you have too much money and don't know where to spend it?" Jiang Xingkuo laughed arrogantly.
"But he said that wearing this will bring us good luck and fortune!" An Huanyan's starry eyes sparkled with hope.
"What about the Taoist priest?" she asked through gritted teeth.
"There it is! What's wrong? Xingxing, do you want to buy a pair too? No need, I'll give them to you, one for each of us!" An Huanyan pointed casually.
Jiang Xingkuo raised his head and saw an old Taoist priest with a sage look slowly leaving.
"Stop!" she shouted at the thin figure.
But the old Taoist priest did not look back. He just raised his hand, waved, and walked to the corner of the street.
"Don't even think about running!" Jiang Xingkuo ran as fast as she could and rushed forward. When she reached the corner, she suddenly froze in place.
Where are the people?! No one is there.
She blinked hard, wondering if she had seen it wrong.
Huanyan caught up with him from behind, panting. "I told you... this... is for you..."
When Jiang Xingkuo came to his senses, a bracelet as cold as water was already on his hand.
Alas, that’s all.
Apart from this, they had a very happy time.
When they returned, they fell asleep leaning against each other soon after getting on the plane.
Soon I was awakened by the anxious voice of the flight attendant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now flying through a dark cloud. The plane will be affected by the air currents and experience severe turbulence. Please fasten your seat belts..."
They opened their eyes hazily. The fuselage was shaking violently. From time to time, they could hear other people's frightened screams. It was dark outside the window. They could only hold hands tightly and pray silently that nothing would happen.
But the next second, a huge thunder struck the fuselage with a loud bang, causing a huge explosion. The fuselage gradually disintegrated and the two men lost consciousness.
When you wake up again, you'll be here.
But now, Huanyan has become a princess, and she can just live a life of idleness and wait for death!
The two of them danced with excitement.
But after a while, An Huanyan's expression drooped again, and she said resentfully: "Stars."
"Hmm? What did you say?" Jiang Xingkuo didn't even raise his head.
"Someone is trying to poison me."
"Puff!" The rice in Jiang Xingkuo's mouth gushed out and spread everywhere.
"Damn it! It's so dirty!" An Huanyan couldn't help but spit and picked a grain of rice from her face.
"Wait a minute? What did you just say?" Jiang Xingkuo suspected there was something wrong with his ears.
An Huanyan sighed and told her what happened after she came here.
A strange dream, a diligent maid, and that man.
Jiang Xingkuo seemed to suddenly remember something and put down the chicken leg.
"Your situation in the palace... is extremely dangerous. The world only knows that you are a princess in the palm of the emperor's hand." Jiang Xingkuo sighed.
"Who said it wasn't? I feel sick now. Someone put drugs in my food, but I can't find out who it is and I have no evidence. I can only eat a little bit of everything, but I am getting weaker day by day..." An Huanyan waved her hands helplessly.
"What!" Jiang Xingkuo quickly spat out the chicken leg in her mouth.
"Puchi. Just eat it without worry. It won't kill you. I've been eating it for so long, it's no big deal." An Huanyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Then I understand. Chronic poison. It's similar to formaldehyde, nitrite, and the like." Jiang Xingkuo listened to her and wolfed down his food again. "By the way, do you have any doubts?"
"Yes. There is one." An Huanyan saw that she was eating happily, but she had no appetite, so she could only pour herself a cup of tea.
"That palace maid named Zi something?" Jiang Xingkuo finally burped.
"How did you know?!" An Huanyan was surprised and delighted. "You just met her once!"
"I guess so." Jiang Xingkuo held a toothpick in his mouth in a frivolous manner, "A palace maid's eyes are too clingy to a foreign man. Since the man came in, her eyes have never left him."
"Why else do you think I asked her to send him off?" An Huanyan sighed.
"That's right!" Jiang Xingkuo took the toothpick and confessed to An Huanyan with a little guilt: "I'm going to confess something to you, you are not allowed to be angry."
"Tell me! Who are we going to be friends with?" An Huanyan's appetite was whetted.
"I... In order to meet you, I agreed to be a spy for that man. He sent me in, and then I gave him news about you..." Jiang Xingkuo secretly raised his eyes to see An Huanyan's reaction.
"Oh. That's it." An Huanyan's body slumped.
"What's your reaction?" Jiang Xingkuo reached out to twist her face, but she slapped him away.
"I know it's not easy for you... The fact that we can meet is already a favor from the higher-ups." An Huanyan propped up her chin and asked again in confusion: "But why? He should really hate me, right? Although I used to like him very much, I couldn't live without him, I loved him to death..."
“Ah? You treated him...?” Jiang Xingkuo widened his eyes.
"Oh! No! It was me in the past!" An Huanyan rolled her eyes at her.
"You should have said it earlier. I know, I know. This guy probably thinks you are playing hard to get or he is unwilling to give in."
"Who is this..." An Huanyan was speechless.
There were footsteps outside the door, getting closer and closer. The two of them looked at each other and stopped talking.
"Princess, the imperial physician has come to take your pulse as usual. He is waiting outside now." Songyan knocked on the door gently and spoke in a crisp voice.
"Please come in." An Huanyan glanced at Jiang Xingkuo.
"You have to take a look. I don't know how long he has been poisoned. Maybe this is his last moment of life." Jiang Xingkuo said coldly beside him.
"Do you think I asked him to come here to see me? You should ask the imperial physician to take a look at the pimples on your face!" An Huanyan returned the question easily.
"What's wrong with being ugly? It's not ugly to me anyway. Hehe." Jiang Xingkuo raised his eyebrows at her.
"Go away. It's so greasy." An Huanyan scolded with a soft smile on her face as she faced the imperial physician who walked in.
Jiang Xingkuo watched her stretch out her hand gracefully and listened to the imperial physician say a few words of nonsense. Then the imperial physician went downstairs to write a prescription and told the servants to cook the medicine.
"I say..." Jiang Xingkuo asked her curiously, "You don't need to be separated by a curtain..."
"What era is it now? You are still so feudal." An Huanyan curled her lips at her. "Zihao! Zihao!" she called out to the door again.
"Do you dare to say that this is not the feudal era?" Jiang Xingkuo said as he was about to pull her face.
The door was opened again, "Stop it! Stop it!" An Huanyan hurriedly adjusted her expression and clothes, and pretended to be serious and said to Song Yan who came in: "Where is Zihao? Okay, you can do it too, go ask the imperial physician to come back and take a look at Miss Jiang's face."
Songyan looked at the two of them in confusion, not understanding how they could become so close after only knowing each other for one day, but she still nodded obediently and walked out without saying anything.
"You still let him come? He couldn't even tell whether you were poisoned! What kind of poison! He's a quack doctor, yet you dare to use him!" Jiang Xingkuo protested.
"This is the cleverness of the poisoner. If the imperial physician can see it, wouldn't the person who wants to harm me be able to reveal his true colors at any time? Stop talking nonsense and come here. I can still show you my face."
An Huanyan pressed Jiang Xingkuo on the stool and let the imperial physician look her face up and down.
"This..." The imperial physician's worried expression made Jiang Xingkuo think that he didn't have much time left.
"Doctor, please say something." An Huanyan, who was standing nearby, also became anxious.
"Please forgive me for my lack of skills. I can't do anything for you!" The imperial physician knelt down in fear and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Alas." They both sighed at the same time.
After the imperial physician left, Jiang Xingkuo took a glance and found Zihao, who had not been seen for a long time, flashed past a corner of the yard.
"Do you want to find her out or not?" Jiang Xingkuo's eyes were cold.
"What can I do? I used to only eat one dish a day, no two meals the same, thinking that she couldn't possibly put every one of the ten dishes in it, but it still didn't work. Because I feel like I can't get enough sleep every day, I have a lot of nightmares, and I have no appetite normally." An Huanyan collapsed on the bed helplessly.
"Good guy, you are doing experiments here using the controlled variable method!" Jiang Xingkuo also fell into deep thought.
"I understand! It must be like this!" Jiang Xingkuo suddenly stood up and yelled, scaring An Huanyan who was lying on the bed.
