All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

Chapter 141 Hidden Weapon and Poison

After a long silence, the city lord opened his eyes, stared at King Xing expressionlessly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, do you really think the princess doesn't know what you are thinking?"

"You went back on your word and didn't kill Bu Ji immediately, which disrupted our plan. If you want to get married, it will only ruin our plan."

Prince Xing was completely irritated by these words. His black eyes were filled with anger, his face was twisted, and he was indescribably wild. He grabbed the city lord's collar fiercely and shouted harshly.

"Princess, princess again, I am the future emperor of Chu Jin, this is how you talk to me."

"Believe it or not, I will have someone kill you right now!"

The city lord had a cold expression on his face. Prince Xing was just a puppet to both him and the princess.

King Xing was always as fierce as a raging fire, taking human lives lightly and indulging his own desires. But this was the first time he became so angry because of a woman.

Prince Xing's stern eyes turned cold, and he waved his long arm. The hem of his robe, which was dragging on the ground, danced like a flying ribbon, and he gave an order.

"Pass on my order! Seal the city gate immediately and bring the people back!"

There was total darkness between heaven and earth, and everything was silent. A heavy sense of oppression permeated the air.

Bu Ji walked slowly, step by step, in the pitch-dark night. She felt unprecedented confusion and helplessness in her heart. She didn't know where she was, nor did she know where she was going.

Suddenly, a blinding white light lit up in front of her. Bu Ji closed her eyes reflexively. When she opened them again, the scene in front of her made her heart tremble violently.

In the thick darkness, the white light seemed so dazzling, warm but not scorching.

Under the white light, a tall man stood in front of her with his back to her. The familiar figure made her heart ache inexplicably. She moved her lips, silently said something in her heart, and ran quickly towards him.

However, just as she was about to touch the figure, something unexpected happened.

A huge noise broke the eerie silence in the darkness, as if gunpowder exploded everywhere.

In an instant, bright red blood filled Bu Ji's eyes, and the tall figure was instantly blown to pieces.

Her heart was about to explode with pain, and she let out a shrill cry.

"emperor……"

Bu Ji suddenly stood up, cold sweat soaking her back. Her violent and anxious breathing seemed particularly clear and heavy in the silent night.

She quickly reached out her hand and wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. There was a hazy darkness in front of her eyes, making her unable to tell whether she was in a dream or reality.

Suddenly, a bright light from a tinder appeared, and then a bonfire started burning, illuminating the surrounding mountains and forests, and a hoarse voice came from behind.

"you're awake?"

Bu Ji turned his head and looked up blankly, his body suddenly stopped, as if he stopped breathing for a moment, he just stared with his eyes open. He also looked at her, there was a surging emotion in his deep eyes, but it was impossible to make out what it was.

When she saw it more clearly, she shrank back in fear, frowned, and spoke.

"Jing, Jingyun?"

Li Ji saw the fear in her eyes, raised his hand again, took off the mask on his face, turned his body sideways, and spoke in a deep voice with his voice deliberately hoarse.

"Yes, it's me."

Bu Ji was slightly stunned and recalled what happened before he fell into a coma. Then he remembered that it was Li Ji who saved him.

After a moment of hesitation, she rushed forward and hugged his waist.

"I knew you would come to save me."

Li Ji lowered his head slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Yes, I will definitely save you..."

Bu Ji was slightly startled, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked tentatively.

"what happened to you?"

"Why do you look so pale?"

Li Ji seemed a little hesitant and remained silent for a while.

"fine."

Bu Ji was confused. She put down her hand, which was sticky all over. In the light of the fire starter, she saw a pool of blood.

"You, you are hurt!"

She asked, her hands shaking.

Li Ji hadn't opened his mouth to speak yet, he just glanced at her, then his eyes went dark and he fell down.

Just now, when fighting in the city, I was hit by a hidden weapon.

He was only thinking about getting Bu Ji out and didn't bother to bandage his wound. Now his entire back was soaked in blood.

"emperor!"

Bu Ji helped him up in panic and let him lean against the wall.

After rummaging around again, he finally found a bottle of golden medicine in his clothes.

She clumsily took off his clothes and collapsed on the ground in fear.

The wound on his back was so deep that you could see the bone, like a bloody hole.

She applied medicine to him while crying. It took a whole bottle of golden medicine to stop the bleeding. His clothes could no longer be worn, so she had to take off her coat and put it on him.

It's easy for him to get a fever at night.

It was the first time that Bu Ji was alone in the wilderness late at night, and he couldn't help but get so nervous that his palms started sweating.

All I could hear was Li Ji's eyes closed, and his hoarse voice came over in a low voice, carrying a reassuring power.

"I will protect you..."

It was just a plain sentence, but it deeply touched a string in her heart.

Even in this state, he still wanted to protect her.

It was such a familiar feeling that she was actually a little afraid to think about it, but she knew clearly that with him by her side, she felt much more at ease.

She nodded. She had just woken up from a nightmare. After her body relaxed, she gradually felt sleepy. She lowered her eyes and looked at the black robe covering her body. The exquisite workmanship did not seem like the clothes worn by the residents of the island.

Suddenly, she thought that this kind of body shape and physique, as well as the hoarse and low voice, gave people a strong sense of presence all the time, making her think of him for no reason, the same noble and arrogant, the same domineering and awe-inspiring.

In a daze, under his protection, she fell asleep peacefully...

She didn't know how long it had been, but in the dim light it seemed as if someone held her hand, a warm and thick big palm, which seemed to be an untouchable tenderness.

However, the night dew was very cold, and her delicate brows were slightly wrinkled, and she murmured softly, "I feel cold."

Suddenly, the other person hugged her tightly, his strong arms wrapped around her body, holding her in his arms.

She groped lightly and reached out her hand, inviting him into a warm embrace, as if she was back in the past, drawing warmth from his arms, and hearing the sound of his heartbeat, again and again, on the cold night, making her feel safe and calm.

His originally dark black pupils appeared even deeper and more melancholy. Looking at the peaceful little face in his arms, a bitter smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and breathing became difficult.

The light hazy halo shone on her face, making her beautiful and intoxicating. He couldn't help but bend down. Her moist lips with a sweet scent seemed to be extremely tempting, tempting him to pick them.

The smile on her lips seemed real and illusory, like a lotus stained with dew, full of water...

A warm and soft kiss like a feather, gently, fell on her lips, with caution and joy, as if it was a forbidden touch, his hand slowly moved, lightly touching...

Then, they ran away as if in fear, and finally, they intertwined their fingers and clenched them tightly.

The entanglement of lips, the touching of lips, the interlocking of fingers, the touching of hearts, were a stolen moment of happiness. He slowly closed his eyes, and there seemed to be a bright light flashing in the corner of his eyes.

The next morning, when Bu Ji woke up, he saw four or five yamen runners.

They held a painting in their hands and looked closely at Li Ji who was leaning against the wall.

Bu Ji rushed forward, pushed them away, and spoke anxiously.

"Who are you!"

Li Ji indeed had a fever. He leaned against the wall, unconscious, half asleep, and had no idea what was going on.

The bailiff glanced at Bu Ji and his eyes fell on his stomach.

"Are you the woman the prince is looking for?"

"You look like you're about to give birth, so it must be you."

"Why does this man look so much like the emperor of Chu Jin?"

Bu Ji's heart tightened. This was in Pucheng. If they knew that Li Ji was the emperor of Chujin, wouldn't he fall into the tiger's mouth again?

"What nonsense are you talking about? He is my husband."

"We passed by here, and he fell from a tree while trying to pick wild fruits for me. He was injured, so he rested here for a night."

"We don't even know what the current emperor looks like."

The bailiff frowned, put away the scroll in his hand, took two steps toward the distance, and suddenly turned around and said.

"Catch them."

Bu Jigang had just relaxed his guard when his eyes suddenly widened.

"I've already told you, we're not the ones you need to find."

"Just because you are a yamen runner, can you arrest anyone at will?"

The bailiff bit his cheek, glanced at her and said.

"Whether it is or not, we will know when we bring it to the prince."

"If not, the prince will naturally let you go. If so, it will be a great achievement for me."

He would rather arrest people with similar characteristics than miss the opportunity to make meritorious service.

Bu Ji was unable to resist at all and was put in handcuffs and leg irons, while Li Ji was awakened by a yamen runner who poured a basin of cold water on him.

He was so groggy that he couldn't even lift his head.

The bailiff walked forward, glanced at the weak man, and said.

"He was actually hit by the guard's hidden weapon."

"The hidden weapons used by the prince's guards contain snake venom."

He laughed heartily and signaled his men to arrest the man and woman.

Sure enough, they were the people the prince was looking for.

A large reward is offered.

When he goes to receive the reward, the prince might be so pleased that he would confer a higher official title on him.

It was really a piece of cake for him, he just happened to get something great.

Bu Ji never expected that Prince Xing would be so insidious as to smear snake venom on hidden weapons.

No wonder Li Ji fell into a coma.

she shouted.

"If you really want to make a contribution, go find a doctor to detoxify him."

"Otherwise, when he dies, what will be presented to His Majesty are two corpses. You will not get any reward, but will be executed by His Majesty instead."
