Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 245: Drunk Butterfly Orchid

Miao Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied, "To be honest, I'm not too sure, but it feels a bit like the poison of our Luo Zhu's Drunk Butterfly Orchid."

"Drunkard orchid?"

His pupils turned slightly, and he asked again, "Since it is your Luo Zhu's poison, can your master, the Medicine King, cure it?"

Hey? She's standing right here, why not ask her if she can solve it first?

Miao Yu curled her lips in dissatisfaction. To be honest, she really couldn't solve it.

"My master should be able to do it, but he once swore that he would never save the people of Nanwu in his lifetime."

Shen Beiqi retracted his gaze, "Don't forget, he still owes me a favor."

Miao Yu shrugged helplessly. Her master was a notoriously stubborn old man.

I'm afraid I can't ask him for help just by doing a favor.

However, apart from her master, the King of Medicine, no one else in the world could cure this poison.

Yue Yang hurried over and saluted, "Master, we can't find the whereabouts of the second lady anywhere."

Shen Beiqi frowned slightly, "How is Prince Rui?"

“He still has one breath left.” Yue Yang replied, “Lord Luo has been interrogating him, but Prince Rui refuses to say anything.”

Jiang Li's breathing gradually stabilized. It seemed that the medicine she had just taken was taking effect.

"Brother Jiang, take care of A-Li first."

Shen Beiqi handed the person in his arms to Jiang Cheng, then looked at Xiao Wencong, "Help me prepare two fast horses. Once the situation is stable, I will take A'li to Luozhu immediately."

"She looks like this..." Xiao Wencong looked at the weak Jiang Li and said hesitantly, "Wouldn't a carriage be more convenient?"

"The carriage was moving too slowly, and she couldn't wait."

Xiao Wencong nodded slightly and agreed.

Although the overall situation has been settled, there is still chaos inside and outside the palace.

Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry to take Jiang Li away from the palace, but found a side hall and properly placed her.

Xiao Wencong went to find Luo Jue, while Shen Beiqi took Xiao Wenyuan to find Prince Rui Xiao Yu.

It is impossible for the Crown Prince to hide Shen Zhiyan. The only possibility is that it was done by Prince Rui.

Shen Beiqi naturally would not be naive enough to think that Prince Rui did this to protect Shen Zhiyan.

Since there's no way to pry his mouth open, let Xiao Wenyuan go and persuade his father.

Miao Yu gently placed the wet towel on Jiang Li's forehead.

Jiang Li's eyelashes trembled twice, and she slowly opened her eyes. Miao Yu tilted her head to look at her: "Jiang Li, are you awake?"

There was a moment of blurring of consciousness.

Jiang Li turned her head and saw that it was Miao Yu. She held her hand and asked, "Miao Yu, are you okay? I heard that you were ambushed..."

"We are fine, it was just a show."

Miao Yu patted her hand gently, "But you, do you know that you have been poisoned, and it is a very strong poison."

In fact, Jiang Li had already vaguely guessed it just now.

Since Han Yunning was determined to die, how could he let her go easily?

She has been living in the palace these days, which happens to be Han Yunning's territory.

It was easy enough to tamper with her food without her noticing.

However, what surprised Jiang Li even more was that Miao Yu said that their assassination was an accident.

The assassination attempt on the Third Prince’s mansion was done by the Guard Bureau.

If this is just a play, then Luo Yan...

"You mean, you were just acting and weren't actually hurt?" Jiang Li asked doubtfully.

"Yeah." Miao Yu nodded in response.

"What about Luo Cheng?"

As Miao Yu changed the scarf around her forehead, he said, "He was only pretending to surrender to the Crown Prince, but in fact he had been secretly contacting his brother. As for their specific plan, I don't know much about it."

Jiang Li blinked and felt relieved instantly.

It turns out that everything was just a play he made.

He did not use any means to climb up the ladder or gain power.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Luo Cheng strode into the house and saw that Jiang Li had woken up, with a look of shame on his face.

He stopped a few steps away from the bed, not daring to move forward.

"Jiang Li, I'm sorry."

He was filled with regret, feeling that he was incompetent. "I overestimated myself. I thought that with my position, I would be able to protect you. I didn't expect... that I would let you get hurt time and time again."

Luo Cheng laughed at himself, "I'm really useless."

"It's not your fault."

Jiang Li sat up with the help of Miao Yu.

Looking at him, she comforted him softly, "You were born in a noble family like the Marquis' Mansion. Your family relationships are simple, and you have been fond of the martial arts world since childhood. It is inevitable that you cannot see through these intrigues and calculations. You don't have to blame yourself too much."

She smiled and continued, "In fact, I am very happy that you are still the simple and straightforward boy you used to be. You have never changed."

Hearing this, Luo Cheng met her gaze with surprise.

"You don't blame me?"

"Why should I blame you? You have your own difficulties."

Although she entered the palace for Luo Rong's reasons.

But in the final analysis, he can't be blamed for anything.

Jiang Li raised the corner of her mouth and smiled sweetly, "In the future, you just need to be yourself and don't be bound by the past."

Luo Cheng stared at her for a long time, as if he had a thousand words to say in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them out loud.

I can only pretend to be the same as before, smiling heartlessly, but with tears flashing in my eyes, "Okay, I will."

As soon as they were discharged from the hospital, Luo Cheng and Shen Beiqi, who was in a hurry, left.

Seeing him here, Shen Beiqi's face showed no emotion at all. He just walked past him and was about to walk inside.

"Lord Shen——"

The young man paused, turned his head slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Please treat her well and protect her for the rest of her life."

Luo Cheng looked at the tall and straight back of the man and said solemnly, "If one day she regrets her decision today, I will definitely come back and take her away."

"You never stand a chance."

The man's voice was still as calm as water.

Luo Cheng smiled bitterly, "I hope so."

Once upon a time, he thought his love for Jiang Li far exceeded that for Shen Beiqi.

However, today, he realizes that he is far inferior to him.

No matter when or where, Shen Beiqi will never let her be in danger. Even if she is in danger, he will be able to protect her.

Luo Cheng sincerely hoped that he would never have such an opportunity.

It's ok.

She had already promised him that she would spend the next life with him.

We are not destined to meet in this life, but we will meet again in the next.
