And who exactly is Ji Zhengyu? She has no time to care. Saving His Majesty is the most important thing. She should let the Grand Princess's people hold them back first.
Just then, An Qi came to report that several princes were found in a dark room in the Empress Dowager's palace, and they seemed to be dying.
Song Jinxiu was horrified and quickly jumped off the roof, asking, "Is Your Majesty here? Are you all right?"
An Qi shook his head, "His Majesty is not there. And the Seventh Prince is not there either."
Not there?
Song Jinxiu went straight to the Empress Dowager's palace. The Empress Dowager had already passed away. The faces of several princes were black and blue, and it seemed that they had died of poisoning.
Song Jinxiu checked one by one and suddenly found that several princes still had a faint breath. She quickly soaked a detoxification pill in Bodhi leaf water and asked An Qi to feed it to the people.
"An Qi, you stay here. Soak this detoxification pill in water. Feed it to them every quarter of an hour and see if you can save them."
Leaving An Qi to take care of the princes, whether they can survive depends on their luck.
Song Jinxiu is now anxious about the safety of His Majesty. Seeing several princes poisoned makes her even more uneasy.
The seventh prince is the crown prince. I wonder if he is with His Majesty. Are they in danger now?
Since there is a secret room in the Empress Dowager's Palace, are there secret rooms in other palaces as well? Xianji Palace should have one too.
Song Jinxiu went straight to Xianji Palace.
On the way, I met Ji Zhengyu who looked angry.
Although the remnants of King Wei were all death warriors, they were outnumbered. After killing half of Ji Zhengyu's men, they were finally wiped out.
The short and fat eunuch killed by Song Jinxiu was the old patriarch of the Ji family and Ji Zhengyu's official father.
Ji Zhengyu had no feelings for his biological father, Prince Yin, but he trusted the short and fat eunuch very much. He had called him "Uncle Ji" since he was a child. It was this Uncle Ji who accompanied him growing up.
When Song Jinxiu killed Ji's father, he had the intention to kill him.
But a real man can bend and stretch. He endured it because he didn't want to cause trouble. He wanted to settle the score with Song Jinxiu after he successfully ascended the throne.
But no one expected that this princess from another family would be so cruel and ruthless. Not only did she kill Ji's father, she also shifted the blame to someone else, causing a conflict between his people and those of the eldest princess. She was killing someone with a borrowed knife.
Very good, since you are ungrateful and want to kill me, I can’t spare your life.
Song Jinxiu looked at the naked murderous intent in Ji Zhengyu's eyes without any fear.
"What? Master Ji, are you planning a rebellion?"
Ji Zhengyu sneered and said, "What's wrong with rebelling? The throne should have been mine."
Looking at the men in black who surrounded her, Song Jinxiu frowned. It seemed that Ji Zhengyu was not here to rescue the emperor as he said, but was involved in a rebellion. Then, he should know the whereabouts of His Majesty and the Prince.
Song Jinxiu frowned and asked, "Finally, you're not acting anymore. That's great, but what you said is not right. His Majesty and the Crown Prince are still here, so how can it be yours?"
Ji Zhengyu looked at Song Jinxiu, who was surrounded by his men, and knew that she was doomed this time. So he did not hide anything, but instead showed off his plan of using someone else's body as a substitute.
Song Jinxiu couldn't help but sneer. It turned out to be the remnant of Prince Yin.
In order to get news about His Majesty from him, Song Jinxiu said:
"How can you be so sure that His Majesty and the Crown Prince will die? Didn't you say that His Majesty was forced into the Immortal Palace by the Grand Princess and disappeared? Perhaps His Majesty has already left the palace and is leading the Cangwu army to kill you?"
"Impossible," Ji Zhengyu smiled proudly, his handsome face full of pride: "Since you saved my sister, I will let you be a clear-headed ghost today."
Ji Zhengyu looked up at the sky and said, "Everyone has been poisoned by my Haunted House Poison. There's no antidote for this poison. It will purge all impurities from the body, and then sacrifice the soul and spirit to death. With no antidote, do you think Your Majesty and the already frail little prince can survive this poison?"
Having said that, he looked at Song Jinxiu's ashen face and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, I find this really funny. Her Royal Highness the Princess is truly clever. She made up this story about the Emperor shaking the divinatory sticks three times, and she actually managed to fool everyone."
But you know, even though you have deceived everyone, the real prophecy is about to come true.
The first of the four mottos left by the late emperor is exactly what I will do today. I will fill the Dragon Mountain Valley with the city's sewage and corpses and wronged souls, and completely destroy the dragon vein of the Liu family's kingdom..."
Ji Zhengyu excitedly talked about his perfect plan. As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Song Jinxiu tenderly and said, "Little girl, I can't bear to kill you. You are so smart. If you are willing to submit to me, I will make you the queen. How about it?"
After listening to Ji Zhengyu's chatter, Song Jinxiu finally understood what was going on with the plague that was all over the city.
There was also the death of the eldest princess and the eldest prince. It turned out that Ji Zhengyu was playing a trick of the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole was behind.
However, it is understandable that you want to seize power through the Grand Princess, but it is too abominable to sacrifice the lives of the entire city for the Manlong Crown.
The poison in the haunted house? Song Jinxiu had never heard of it and wondered if it was recorded in the medicine book left by her senior brother.
Whether there is a record or not, the extremely evil Ji Zhengyu has come to the end of his life.
She secretly gestured to An Yi on the rooftop, asking him to gather the thirty-six guards and prepare for the attack. Then she asked Ji Zhengyu again in a cold voice, "Do you really not know the whereabouts of His Majesty and the Crown Prince?"
Ji Zhengyu waved his hand. "If the Grand Princess can't find him, I'm even less likely to find him. But no matter where he hides, he'll die. This kingdom will be mine sooner or later. What do you think? Little girl, would you consider becoming my queen?"
If I had the help of the eldest princess, it would be easier for me to pass the bloodline certification.
Thinking of this, Ji Zhengyu couldn't help but smile with a determined look.
Song Jinxiu felt that the thirty-six guards were already in their positions, so she suddenly raised her hand above her head and made an attacking gesture.
Just when Ji Zhengyu wanted to persuade Song Jinxiu again, suddenly, a burst of crossbow arrows came from the air.
Ji Zhengyu was horrified. He dodged with his sword and shouted fiercely, "Stop! Your master is in my hands."
He just didn't believe that these people would disregard the life of the eldest princess.
The thirty-six guards remained in the shadows, unmoved. Their mechanical crossbows were loaded with arrows, and another round of arrows rained down upon them. The mechanical crossbow's ten-shot burst was indeed powerful, and soon half of Ji Zhengyu's men were gone.
Ji Zhengyu could not help but become furious. He shouted, "Your Highness, Princess, why don't you tell your men to stop? Don't you really want to die?"
However, Song Jinxiu, who was surrounded by men in black, had long disappeared.
Song Jinxiu was hiding in the space, checking for the poison in the haunted house on the computer.
Ji Zhengyu’s crazy words just now made her realize the horror of the poison in the haunted house.
If there is no solution, will all the people in the city, including my parents and younger brothers, die?
Therefore, the most important thing now is not to find His Majesty and the Crown Prince, but how to get rid of the poison in this haunted house.
There's no antidote. Even if we find His Majesty and the Crown Prince, what good will it do? Are we just going to watch them die?
