poisonous woman

Chapter 175
When Rong Zhao woke up, she was already in Chu Palace. She woke up in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Junjue sitting beside her.

"Miss, you've finally woken up. You've been in a coma for several days." Qiu Shui and Gu Wu also stood aside, seeing her wake up leisurely, Qiu Shui almost cried.

Rong Zhao sat up slowly, her voice was hoarse, as if she was holding a mouthful of gravel, "What's wrong with me?"

Pain came out from the back of her head, she clutched her head, "It hurts."

Xiao Junjue held her down, "Lie down."

Qiu Shui burst into tears, and said in a sobbing voice: "Miss, do you know that you almost died."

Lost memories slowly surfaced, Rong Zhao remembered that she seemed to have been beaten with a sap, she frowned and looked at Qiu Shui, and said, "What's going on?"

Qiu Shui choked and complained to her, saying: "Miss, what are you doing to go to the lake? She fell into the lake. If a nun who was watching the night didn't pass by and saw her come up after saving her, I'm afraid..."

"Did I fall into the lake?" No wonder the back of his head hurts, and even his whole chest hurts.Rong Zhao remembered that the place where she was standing was still some distance away from the lake, how could she have fallen into it.

Seeing the strangeness of this matter, Xiao Junjue asked, "The imperial doctor said that you have been attacked on the back of your head, who hit you?"

Could it be that someone knocked her out and threw her into the lake?
Rong Zhao turned pale in shock, his face paled in an instant, and he rubbed his forehead, "It's too hot, I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk to cool off, and I walked to the lakeside before I knew it. I stood there for a while. I wanted to go back, but I was beaten unconscious at that time. But as for who beat me, I didn’t see it.”

"Which bastard is going to kill Miss!" Gu Qu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

The last time she was attacked in Meishan County, and this time she was plotted against again, who insisted on putting her to death?
After a moment of silence, Xiao Jun asked Qiu Shui to bring the soup and comforted Rong Zhao, "You should have a good rest first, I will investigate this matter."

That time in Meishan County, if it was aimed at Xiao Junjue, there is nothing wrong with it, but this time it is obviously aimed at her and wants her to die.

After knocking people out and throwing them into the lake, she didn't even have a chance to ask for help. It seemed that the murderer had a grudge against her.

Although Rong Zhao was dizzy, his mind was clear. She had offended many people, but who else could really want her life besides Rong Xi.

A strong murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and sure enough, if she didn't cut the grass and roots, she would leave disaster for herself.

"Miss, let's drink the medicine first." Gu Wu brought the soup.

Rong Zhao shook his head, said "En", and looked at Xiao Junjue again.

Rolling his eyes slightly, he said, "The medicine is too bitter, and my throat hurts, so I won't take it."

Qiu Shui raised his eyebrows, wondering, the young lady always took medicine happily, why is it so painful today.

So he persuaded: "Miss has been having a fever for several days, and her body is weak. I can't do without this medicine. I'll get some candied fruit for Miss. After drinking the medicine, Miss will not feel bitter."

"It's also bitter, I won't drink it." Rong Zhao said willfully.

Gu Wu looked at Xiao Junjue and asked him for help.

Xiao Jun said: "Don't be willful, when will you recover if you don't drink medicine?"

Rong Zhao pouted, and said, "I just don't want to drink." After a pause, she looked eagerly at Xiao Junjue, "Unless, you feed me."

Xiao Jun felt helpless against her, took the medicinal soup from Gu Wu, moved it to the bedside, carefully helped Rong Zhao sit up, and fed her spoonful by spoonful.

It took a long time to feed this bowl of medicine, Rong Zhao was too hypocritical, sometimes complaining about suffering, sometimes complaining that the sitting posture was uncomfortable, and after drinking the medicine, he was almost cold, and Rong Zhao had already leaned on Xiao Junjue's shoulder superior.

Gu Wu and Qiu Shui looked at each other and secretly smiled. It turned out that this was the reason for the pain of the medicine.

After drinking the medicine and feeding half a bowl of rice porridge, Xiao Junjue was about to leave, but was grabbed by Rong Zhao, "Where are you going? You are not allowed to leave, I am afraid. If you leave, someone will knock me out again What should I do if I throw it into the lake? The lake in Chu Palace is so deep, if I fall into it, I will die, you are not allowed to go, stay with me."

"This is the Prince Chu's Mansion, no one will throw you into the lake again, you can sleep peacefully, I have to investigate this matter." Xiao Junjue became more and more patient, "Besides, there is still Gu Wu and Qiu Shui will accompany you."

"No, why did you ask Nighthawk and Night Owl to investigate? Why do you have to do it yourself? I want you to stay here with me. I don't want to be alone with me. I want you." Rong Zhao hugged Xiao Junjue's waist , Catch him tightly, for fear that he will leave.

Qiu Shui and Gu Wu still winked, and quickly made an excuse to escape, Qiu Shui said: "I still have some medicine to boil, so I really can't stay here with Miss." There are also tonics, and servants can't accompany Miss."

Rong Zhao secretly chuckled, counting the two of them as acquainted.She looked up at Xiao Junjue, pretending to be pitiful and said: "Look, they are all gone, what should I do if I get thirsty or hungry, I don't have any around me."

Xiao Junjue was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he quickly pushed her back into the bed and coaxed her: "Okay, I won't leave, you can sleep at ease."

Rong Zhao was satisfied, covered his chin with the quilt, only showing his face, but still looking at him, holding Xiao Junjue's arm without letting go.

"Hurry up and go to bed." Xiao Junjue ordered.

She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Rong Zhao refused, "Don't move, what if I fall asleep and you go away, so I can feel at ease." She closed her eyes, but her mouth didn't stop, "I'm going to sleep, don't you Talk, let alone move, it will disturb me."

Rong Xin is right, a woman should be weak when she should be weak.Didn't that Rong Wan always look so weak that I still feel sorry for him?She will too.

The strength of the medicine came up quickly, Rongzhao fell asleep in a short while, but maybe because Xiao Junjue was by her side, she even smiled when she fell asleep.

Xiao Junjue looked at her quietly, and involuntarily raised his hand and slowly approached her face, but when he was about to touch her face, he retracted his hand again.

He knew that his heart skipped a beat when he saw Rong Zhao being fished out of the lake unconscious.

Not long after, Xiao Junjue saw that she was fast asleep, and gently pulled out her hand, told Qiu Shui and Gu Wu to take good care of the princess and left.

"Have you found out who killed the princess?" He asked sullenly when he met Ye Ying when he went out of the room.

Nighthawk clasped his hands and replied, "No, there is not a single clue."

Xiao Junjue stared at him coldly, and said two words in a voice like counting the frozen ice on the river, "Trash."

Nighthawk lowered his head, "This subordinate is incompetent."

"Check one by one, not just the people from the Rong family, but see if anyone from the Gao family has come in or out." Gao Yunpeng made trouble on the day of Lord Rong's birthday banquet, and he mentioned that Rong Zhao killed the Gao family, so it is most likely to be related to Rong Zhao. It is the members of the Gao family who have revenge.

"Yes, this subordinate will go to investigate again." It can be seen that the prince attaches great importance to the princess now, Yeying dare not neglect in the slightest.

"Wait a minute." It was Ye Xiao who stopped him, Ye Xiao said to Xiao Jun: "This subordinate feels that this matter has nothing to do with the Gao family."

He explained: "No one would have thought that the princess would not be able to sleep in the middle of the night and would go outside the room for a walk. It is obvious that the murderer did it temporarily."

Ye Ying's eyes lit up, and he said: "Ye Xiao is right, the murderer must have accidentally seen the princess, and seeing that no one was following her, he suddenly became murderous, took advantage of the princess's inattention, hit the princess with a sap, and then threw to the river."

Xiao Junjue thought for a moment, and said: "Then check carefully the people who were in Xuanmiao Temple that day, maybe there is something missing." Although Xuanmiao Temple and nuns are not too many, but the incident happened in the middle of the night , everyone is sleeping, it is not easy to find out this matter.

When Rong Zhao woke up again, he didn't see that Xiao Junjue was disappointed, and said, "He's gone again, he's still sick, so I don't know how to take care of him." Happy.

Hearing the movement, Qiu Shui lifted the curtain of the bed, "Miss, do you feel better?" Seeing her expression, Qiu Shui could tell what was on her mind. Qiu Shui pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "My lord is busy tracking down the murderer for Miss, and I just left for a while."

Helping her to get up, Rong Zhao let out a listless "Oh", and said, "When I just woke up, I was feeling exhausted. After drinking the medicine and sweating, I felt much lighter." Looking at Qiu Shui, "I'm hungry."

Qiu Shui said with a smile: "This servant will prepare meals for Miss."

Being sick, she couldn't eat fish and meat, and knowing that Rong Zhao had no meat, Qiu Shui specially made preserved egg and lean meat porridge for her. Rong Zhao gained strength and ate two small bowls in one go.

After eating, she drank the medicine again.This time without Xiao Junjue, she also drank happily, and drank a large bowl of medicinal soup in one breath, without complaining at all.And you don't even need to eat candied fruit, just rinse your mouth with water.

Qiu Shui also teased her, "Miss, how can you drink the medicine so quickly? Is there honey in this bowl of medicine?"

Gu Wu laughed and said: "Although this bowl has honey added, but the bowl just now made Miss feel sweet."

Rong Zhao crossed them, "Go ahead and cut off your tongues if you talk too much."

Qiu Shui Gu Wu covered his mouth and smiled, and was about to go out when Xiao Junjue came and quickly saluted and greeted him.

"Have you taken the medicine?" Seeing that Rong Zhao woke up, Xiao Junjue first asked her if she had taken the medicine.

Gu Wu held the empty medicine bowl and was about to answer when Rong Zhao cut it off.Rong Zhao winked at her, then stared at Xiao Junjue, and said firmly, "No."

Gu Wu raised his eyebrows, didn't he?What was that servant carrying?
Rong Zhao glanced at her, with a warning in his eyes, warning her not to talk too much.Then she pulled Xiao Junjue and sat beside her, looking weak and weak, and said in a coquettish tone, "The medicine is bitter, I don't want to drink it."

Qiu Shui pouted at Gu Wu, motioning for her to take the medicine bowl away quickly, and Miss Sheng's words would go unnoticed.

She was clever, holding back a smile, and said: "The prince came at the right time, we both said that Miss would not drink medicine for a long time, so you have to take care of it when you come."

Xiao Junjue lowered his eyes and looked at Rong Zhao who was leaning on his body, and said, "Go and get a pair."

"Yes, my lord, wait a moment." Qiu Shui couldn't help sighing in his heart, the young lady really worked so hard, she would rather drink it again in order to be able to feed her lord.
