Chapter 219 Asking for Help
Yunshu was a little surprised, she lowered her head to look at Xiyue's slightly trembling white hands, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Xiyue took a deep breath, "Master Yongji, can you come to this palace and say a few words?"

A flash of light flashed across Yunshu's eyes. Dongfang Xu had already told him about her. Could it be that Xiyue changed her mind?

In the empress's womb, Xiyue brought Yunshu into the bedroom, she just sat there, her eyes fell on the ground in front of her, her eyes were deep and there was a bit of desperate struggle.

She didn't know what the consequences would be if she did so, but now, she could only take the risk.

"County Master Yongji, I have been unwell for the past two days, please ask the county master to help me get my pulse."

She took the initiative to lift her sleeves and stretched out her hand, Yun Shu smiled slightly, knowing that she was testing herself, whether she had really diagnosed the poison in her body.

Putting cold fingers on her beating pulse, Xiyue felt as if a small snake had gotten into her arm, making people feel dreadful.

Then, she caught the flash of seriousness in Yunshu's eyes.

"Have you ever seen someone, the Crown Princess?"

"How do you say that?!" Xiyue didn't notice the sudden change in her tone.

"It seems that another kind of poison has been mixed into the empress's body."

Yunshu clearly saw her suppressed joy on her expression, and she stretched out her hands to hold Yunshu's arms tightly, "Mr. Yongji can really find out? The imperial doctors can't find anything abnormal." , You...didn't lie to Bengong?"

There was a moment of silence around, Xiyue realized that she had lost her composure when she saw that Yunshu was silent, she slowly withdrew her hands, then lowered her head and trembled slightly.

"You... Is there any way to detoxify Ben Gong?"

She didn't admit that she was poisoned before, but now... Yunshu must have suffered a lot to let the princess of the Yi Kingdom ask her for help. She has already made up her mind to betray the Yi Kingdom Yet?

"There is a way, it just takes time."

"No! I only have three days in this Palace! You...no matter what method you use..." Xiyue seemed to remember something, her eyes were full of struggle.

Waiting for the emperor to rescue her?Will the emperor save her?Can she wait until then?It's not her fault!She just wants to live, and this is not a betrayal, the only thing she can't betray is herself!
Yun Shu stood up slowly, "I still need to discuss this matter with His Highness the Crown Prince."

……

Dongfang Xu was really surprised by Xiyue's request for help.

"Does the county lord think that she will really betray Emperor Xiao?"

"The princess said that she only has three days. She must have chosen such a path because she had no other choice. If she really wants to cooperate with us, it will be much more useful than our insinuations." Yunshu felt that Xiyue was not completely Be loyal to Xiao Yichen, otherwise he would not ask the enemy for help when his life was at stake.She didn't have that consciousness and ambition, and she wanted to live and die with Yi's grand plan and hegemony.

"However, I want to see how many chips she has in her hand."

There was a bit of coldness in Dongfang Xu's eyes, but Yun Shu reminded him, "Your Highness, do you remember what I said before? Instead of cooperating, it is better to let her work for His Highness willingly, and now, perhaps, is the best opportunity .”

Yun Shu always believed that only when a woman truly fell in love with someone, would she give her all without reservation.

Dongfang Xu restrained his expression, looking at Yunshu's rational face, a trace of sorrow overflowed in his heart, she knew what she wanted, but she calmly wanted to win another woman's heart back by herself, did she really...don't care?When will she be able to stay by her side willingly as she said?

Dongfang Xu smiled wryly, "Well, I understand."

In the sleeping hall, Xiyue only felt that every minute and every second of her life was passing by. Will the crown prince accept her request?She only wanted county magistrate Yongji to detoxify her, and then she would provide useful news to Chen Guo.

The woman wandered anxiously in the bedroom, until there was a soft sound, she turned around nervously, and saw Dongfang Xu's handsome face.

"Your Highness..."

At this moment, only the two of them were left in the bedroom.

Dongfang Xu approached slowly, Xiyue held her heart tightly until the man said, "The poison on your body was caused by Concubine Mei?"

Xiyue clenched her teeth, if she said yes, then he knew that she was trespassing.But since I have chosen this path...

Xiyue immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, Xiyue has nothing else to ask for, but I only hope that His Highness can let Lord Yongji detoxify Xiyue."

Dongfang Xu just looked down at the woman in front of her, her face was full of haggard and pale, "Emperor Xiao asked you to come, but you want to inquire about my country Chen?"

Xiyue lowered her head and did not dare to look at her, "Forgive me, Your Highness, the emperor sent Xiyue to Chen Country to make a marriage marriage, in order to monitor His Highness, and then..."

"Then?"

"Then, take the opportunity to poison His Highness's food, so as to control His Highness, and thus control Chen Kingdom."

Poison?Heh, Xiao Huang's actions are really bold.

"Are you from the Yun family?"

Xiyue was startled, and raised her head in doubt, "How does Your Highness know?" She is a member of the Yun family, so no one in Chen Kingdom should know.

Dongfang Xu's eyes drifted away, "What else did Xiao Huang ask you to do? What news have you got so far?"

Xiyue's eyes flickered, and there was a bit of guilt in her tone. "Xiyue sent the map of the palace to the emperor...and...so far, he has not been able to poison His Highness." It turned out that His Highness knew her identity a long time ago, no wonder she was so alienated.

"Then, why did you decide to betray Xiao Huang? If Xiao Huang finds out about this, I'm afraid you will only die."

When such words came from Dongfang Xu's mouth, Xiyue still couldn't help feeling a wave of fear, "Xiyue has less than three days left to live, the emperor can abandon Xiyue as a pawn at any time, Xiyue doesn't ask for anything else, I just want to survive! Your Highness also knows that the two countries are not as harmonious as they appear on the surface, if your Highness wants to know more about the Yi Kingdom, please save Xiyue!"

With such a decision, she undoubtedly risked her own life.Dongfang Xu decided to give her a reassurance, "Master Yongji does have a way to save you, but this hall needs to see your sincerity."

Xiyue was overjoyed, it seemed that she had really made the right bet! "What does Your Highness want to know? Xiyue must know everything!"

……

"Prince, is that really the case?" The queen did not expect to hear such news.

"Yes, Queen Mother, it turns out that Emperor Xiao has been recharging his energy and recharging his energy, just waiting for the opportunity to invade our country. He sent Xiyue to use drugs to control his ministers. In the future, after his sons ascended the throne, Chen Kingdom It's in his pocket!" Dongfang Xu was full of anger, he was still underestimated by Emperor Xiao.

"It's the best that Xiyue is willing to help us, but we must be careful in everything, she is from Yi Kingdom after all."

"My son understands."

"Prince, the Queen Mother discussed with the County Lord Yongji before, asking you to marry the young lady of the Marquis of Changqing as the side concubine, what do you think?"

Concubine? !Dongfang Xu was shocked. He didn't know that his mother had discussed such a matter with Yun Shu in private, and she...never mentioned it to him.

"Why, you don't know?" County Lord Yongji didn't persuade him?
"Queen, my son doesn't want to be a concubine!"

"The Marquis of Changqing is in contact with the forces of the various palaces. If you have their support, the position of the crown prince will undoubtedly be secure. Now that all countries are staring at you, how can we act arrogantly?!"

With such an irresistible reason, Dongfang Xu was speechless for a while, when will this situation of letting mermaids be turned around? ! "Master Yongji...that's what he said too?"

"The queen mother knows that perhaps County Lord Yongji wants you to realize your responsibility as a prince, but in the eyes of the queen mother, you still don't have enough awareness. Go on, the queen mother has her own arrangements for this matter."

Since the prince is still unable to recognize the reality, then it is up to him to give him a push.

Within the bamboo courtyard.

The lamp was on in Yun Shu's room, Xia He carefully brought tea in, and saw the quiet and beautiful woman sitting at the table seriously flipping through the books in her hand.

Since Yu'er left, Miss has been like this every day, not giving herself time to relax.Everyone could feel the changes in Miss, as if something was pulling her tightly, making her unable to relax for a moment.

"Miss, drink a cup of tea to warm up your body."

Xia He took a closer look and saw that Yun Shu was holding a medical book.

Yun Shu responded lightly, stretched out her hand to pick up the teacup and took a sip, her brows could not help but frown, the tea was no longer the taste she was familiar with.

Xia He immediately noticed the strangeness in her. In the past, the tea that the young lady drank was brewed by Yu'er herself, but now...she doesn't know what she can do for the young lady.

"Miss, it's getting late, let's go to bed earlier."

Yun Shu looked away from the light yellow tea, "In a while."

She finished reading "Shen Kuo Acupuncture" with a little time left, and had to admit that her ancestors had profound medical skills. She had read so many medical books since she was a child, and there were still many treatment methods she had never seen before.

"Hey, miss, this hairpin is so elegant, but..." Looking at the jade pendant on it, it is not the best jade.

Yun Shu raised her head and took a look, the hairpin was caught in this medical book, now that Yun Shu wanted to come, she knew that the crown prince put it in at that time.

At this time, Chunxiang came in from the outside, her expression was a little nervous, "Miss..."

Outside the courtyard, there was a man who should not be here at this moment.

Yun Shu was a little surprised, "Your Highness?"

Dongfang Xu looked at the woman who came out of the room. She was only wearing a thin coat. She should be resting at this moment, but he... still couldn't help the urge to see her.

"Can you take a step to speak?"

Yun Shu's eyes flashed, and she nodded slightly.

In the deserted forest, the man in front finally stopped.He turned his back to Yunshu, "The queen mother said, you chose the young lady from Changqinghou's mansion to be my crown prince's side concubine."
