Chapter 196 It was the princess who made me lose my bearings.
The emperor was seriously injured and poisoned. Cen An and the imperial doctors tried their best to save his life, but he could not wake up.
The King of Southern Qi, the King of Yanping, and the King of Wei were guarding the palace with hundreds of civil and military officials. In the name of caring about the emperor, one by one they had begun to assign their sides.
The chief eunuch and the guards of the princess palace guarded the emperor. Except for the empress and the imperial doctor, everyone else stopped at the door.
The palace was filled with an air of solemnity for a while, everyone was in danger, laughter disappeared, and even birds did not dare to fly in the sky.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Yun also stayed here with the eldest prince and second prince. Even though the second prince was less than two years old, they did not dare to leave.
Being here is just a burden, but if they are out of everyone's sight, the two princes may die.
Not only the palace, but the streets of the entire capital were also blocked by soldiers and horses. All shops were closed and people hid at home and did not dare to come out.
Cen An came out of the palace to go to the princess mansion to rescue people, but only stayed for an hour before returning to the palace.
When asked about Princess Xuanyang's condition, he only said that it was nothing serious and the princess told him to come back to see His Majesty.
King Yanping and others who knew the inside story immediately knew that this was a cover-up. Cen An definitely couldn't save Xuanyang, and now he could only save the emperor first.
The King of Southern Qi frowned: "Since there is no serious problem, why did I call you over? Isn't this delaying His Majesty's treatment?"
Cen An didn't hear anything and hurried in to see the emperor's condition.
King Yanping looked at King Wei: "Fifth brother has always had a very good relationship with Xuanyang. How about you go visit her?"
How could Xiao Jingyi not know his intention: "Since the imperial sister is fine, let's wait until His Majesty wakes up. If the second emperor brother is really worried, why not go and see for yourself."
King Yan Ping snorted: "It seems that your relationship is nothing more than this."
The King of Nan Qi turned his eyes on the two of them, thoughtfully.
The palace was tense and solemn, and the gates of the princess's palace were closed. No one would be allowed to inquire.
"Who does the princess think will win?"
Song Junzhan sat on the stool beside Xiao Li's bed and looked into her eyes intently.
Xiao Li was injured and poisoned, but his fainting at the city gate was fake, and his unconsciousness was also fake.
Lu Ling's corpse puppet injured Xiao Li's people last time, two of them were poisoned, and Cen An couldn't save them despite all his efforts.
Xiao Li knew the existence of corpse poison at that time, how could he not take precautions?
Xiao Li asked Cen An to study it and sent someone to the southern region. Although he didn't get a real antidote, he got medicine that could suppress it.
Xiao Li was given restraint medicine as soon as he was scratched. Although the injury on his hand would not heal for the time being, he would not be in a coma due to poisoning.
The reason why she fainted was just to make people think she was poisoned.
She will be a bystander for two days.
When Song Junzhan asked, she could answer without thinking: "It doesn't matter who wins."
She doesn't support anyone, she only cares about the results.
But Song Junzhan actually came to her bedside. This was not the distance between them.
Song Junzhan looked at her: "What about me?"
"Huh?"
Many emotions flashed through Song Junzhan's eyes: "The princess asked Rong Qing to protect His Majesty, and asked Yang Jun to go outside the city to meet you, but she never told me about this matter from beginning to end."
"Do you think Jun Zhan is too weak and will hinder the princess, or does the princess simply not trust me?"
Xiao Li really didn't expect that he would be questioned. The image of Song Junzhan holding a sword flashed in his mind, his clothes were stained with blood, and his sharp edge was revealed, like an immortal who had grown out of demon bones.
It's just that she thought he was weak, not that he was really weak.
But this didn't affect her decision then, and it doesn't affect her decision now.
She wanted to get up, but Song Junzhan suddenly stepped forward and gently pressed the corner of the quilt: "The princess is injured, don't move."
He was so close that Xiao Li could smell his unique fragrance.
Xiao Li was slightly startled and answered his question with narrowed eyes: "They are martial arts and you are literary. You are not needed in today's round."
Song Junzhan lowered his head and came closer, forcing Xiao Li to open his eyes and look at him, with blue flames burning in his usually cold eyes.
"Even if you don't need me, why doesn't the princess let me know anything?"
"The princess put herself in danger, didn't she even want to come back alive?"
It was the first time that Xiao Li saw such an aggressive Song Junzhan.
Xiao Li didn't answer, and Song Junzhan continued: "Yesterday you half-jokingly said that if one day you die, I will kill the king. In fact, it will be today, right?"
"You don't want to help me anymore, and the only way I can fulfill my long-cherished wish is to kill the king."
His hands were shaking, and the ends of his eyes were scarlet, showing anger, but more importantly, disappointment and sadness.
He was willing to give his life to her and be loyal to her, but he was not trusted by her. She even wanted to abandon him with death.
How could she deserve his loyalty and faith?
Xiao Li was speechless because he had already said it right. With his sad look, she couldn't bear to quibble and lie to him.
"Song Junzhan"
Xiao Li suddenly opened his eyes wide because Song Junzhan actually kissed him directly.
He just pressed it hard and made no other moves.
His breath was intertwined and hot, and it seemed that he could hear his violently beating heartbeat.
After a while, Song Junzhan stood up, his eyes gleaming because of the overly intense emotions, and his cheeks were a little red. The first kiss made it difficult for him to calm down, but his attitude was firm.
"My subordinates respect the princess. Even though they admire her in their hearts, they never have any intention of blasphemy. It was the princess who made me lose my bearings."
After finishing speaking, he knelt directly in front of the bed and said: "Jun Zhan and I have committed the crime. Please punish the princess."
Xiao Li: "." The bad guys let him finish talking and took advantage.
He sneered: "You can still be reasonable while others are in danger, just because I don't have the strength to hit you now."
Song Junzhan suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Li. Was he angry?
Xiao Li lifted up the quilt and sat up, stared at him twice, stretched out her hand across his jade-white cheek, pinched his chin ambiguously, and looked at his earlobes that turned red instantly. She smiled jokingly and let him go. .
"Song Junzhan, I admire you very much, not because of your appearance or your talent, but because of your determination to revive the imperial examination."
"Saints and sages were ordinary people before they became saints. They just took the path that others did not dare to take, established things that others did not dare to recognize, fought against that era, changed the world's perception, and then used time and facts to prove it. They were right, and in the end they were highly regarded as saints.”
"And you, in my eyes, are like that. Your determination will definitely change the world."
Song Junzhan's eyes flashed, he didn't expect that she missed him so much.
Xiao Li stared into his eyes, and the coldness and darkness in his eyes gradually emerged: "You regard me as a life-saving straw, but unfortunately I am not the wise master you want from the beginning to the end."
