He was alert and immediately lit the candle, only to find that Ming Lanruo's face was pale and her body was cold, as if she had been trapped in a dream and could not wake up.
He immediately picked her up, fed her with water, woke her up, and poured some internal force into her meridians. After struggling for a quarter of an hour, Ming Lanruo slowly woke up.
She held his arm and sat up suddenly, with a stream of bright red blood flowing from her nose.
"Ruoruo, what's wrong with you!" Cang Qiao frowned for a moment, and immediately took a handkerchief to hold her nose to stop the bleeding, and then brought a water glass over.
Ming Lanruo closed her eyes and seemed tired. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and took a sip of water from his hand.
She looked at the blood dripping on the back of her hand, with an unpredictable look on her face, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Cang Qiao, the poison I cast on others was removed, so I was bitten back."
Those who cast the poison will suffer the backlash caused by the failure of the poison and the death of the poisonous insect.
Moreover, this kind of backlash will be twice as much as the normal backlash caused by success.
Cang Qiao's eyebrows turned cold, and her voice was suppressed with anxiety: "The backlash is so serious?!"
Ming Lanruo took away the handkerchief pressed against her nose and shook her head: "No, the backlash is not serious. The reason why I reacted so strongly is because someone is trying to use the poison I planted to find traces of me!"
That person must be a master at using voodoo! Fortunately, she has the voodoo king in her body, so the backlash of a failed voodoo attack is much smaller. The voodoo king also blocked enemies who tried to follow its aura.
Now it's that person's turn to feel uncomfortable!
A chill flashed across Cang Qiao's eyes. No matter what master he was, he would never allow the other person to hurt her!
Ming Lanruo rubbed her temples and said calmly: "Maybe the poisonous insects on His Highness were discovered and taken out."
The mountains in the Northeast are high and the emperor is far away, and almost no one in the north knows the art of voodoo. She is also confident that she can block the news, so she dares to use voodoo on a large scale in Gujiazhai.
However, there were many talented people in the capital, so she rarely used the poison when she was in the capital. Except for the time at the black market, she used it once on Ming Yueying and once on the prince.
During that time in the black market, the poisonous insects on those people had long since died.
The Gu worms on Ming Yueying's body are the direct descendants of the Gu King in her body. Unless the Gu master tastes the taste of Ming Yueying's blood, he cannot detect the presence of Gu on her body.
All that was left was the Gu worm on the prince's body.
The voodoo on the prince's body is a relatively common kind of itching voodoo caused by her, so it's not surprising that it would be discovered by a voodoo master.
But the Gu Master was really capable of using her Gu to track and hurt her.
Each Gu Master is good at different things. For example, she is good at making new Gu, but she is not good at using other Gu Masters' Gu to hurt and track each other.
Without saying a word, Cang Qiao clasped her wrist with his backhand, giving her some inner energy to help stabilize her chaotic aura.
"Don't worry, I have the Gu King in my body, so the other party can't really hurt me. I'm just afraid that he himself will suffer a loss." Ming Lanruo comforted him softly.
It's just that she felt a little unwell, like a cold or a cold, and had some nosebleeds.
Cang Qiao simply acted like she was a child, holding Ming Lanruo in her arms and sitting on the bed, gently stroking her back without any desire: "You go to sleep first, I will watch over you."
Ming Lanruo only found it a bit funny. She was already in her twenties, not two or three years old, but whenever something happened, he would unconsciously turn into a "little uncle".
But Cang Qiao like this made her feel very safe, perhaps because she had regained some memories of her childhood, so she soon fell asleep in his arms.
Cang Qiao carefully placed her on the bed, pulled up the thin silk quilt, then got up, picked up her clothes and went outside the room door.
It was late at night, and the entire inn was occupied by them, so naturally they were all their own.
Spica was on duty today. He jumped out of hiding in an instant and silently, clasping his fists respectfully: "Master Chitose."
Cang Qiao said calmly: "Has there been anything unusual in the capital recently, such as who has come?"
Jiaojiu thought for a while: "In the reports of the past few days, except for the few generals who came back from the northwest border to report on their duties, the rest is that King Jingnan has just arrived in the capital with a large number of tributes."
"Chu Heng, King of Jingnan who governs the three southwestern provinces?" Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly.
Jiao Xue said: "Back to my master, the old King Chu Heng of Jingnan is not in good health and has been undergoing medical treatment. Regardless of his affairs for many years, the prince has always been taking care of the fiefdom. This year, he simply gave up the throne to the prince of Jingnan -
Chu Yuanbai."
Cang Qiao thought thoughtfully: "So after Chu Yuanbai became King of Xiao Jingnan, he came to thank the emperor for his favor and came to see the emperor as the new King of Jingnan?"
This King of Jingnan is not an ordinary character. The old King of Jingnan is a king with a different surname. He followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world and made great contributions. He is a man who knows how to advance and retreat.
Therefore, many once arrogant and heroic vassal kings later had troubles. The old Jingnan King did not act like a monster in the southern barbarian land, and guarded southern Xinjiang safely from generation to generation without being liquidated by successive emperors.
Cang Qiao paused, a cold and demonic smile flashed in his eyes.
Well, King Jingnan can't be considered completely free of evil. The late emperor's family was wiped out by Emperor Ming and replaced by Emperor Ming. King Jingnan is on the side of Emperor Ming.
With the support of people like King Jingnan, Emperor Ming could successfully take over the throne of Tianming Dynasty and have time to arrest him, the orphan of the late emperor.
"Shouldn't this King Xiaojingnan arrive a month after we set off for Northeast Xinjiang?" Cang Qiao asked calmly, playing with the jade beads in his hand.
Jade is a specialty gem product there, and even the jade beads in his hand that are a pair with the empress's were paid tribute by the Jingnan Palace.
Jiaojiu thought for a while: "According to the news sent by Master Shen Yuchen, the prince Bai of Chu Yuan had just succeeded to the throne of King Jingnan, and the chieftains in the Baimiao settlement rebelled. He led his troops to quell the rebellion and fought.
He is brave, but he still delayed his time before he could go to the capital to see His Majesty."
"Shen Yuchen?" Cang Qiao narrowed her eyes and sneered when she heard the name.
"It seems that our Lord Shen has made a lot of friends in Nanman for five years. He has a very good relationship with Xiao Jingnan King. He also wants to express his merits to Chu Yuanbai in the report."
He said calmly: "Ask Xiao Qizi to send an order to Commander Chen of Jinyi Guards Station in Lianghu Province, asking him to send more people to sneak into Lingnan secretly to see what happened with the Baimiao rebellion in Lingnan. Don't
Alarm Shen Yuchen's people in Lingnan."
"Yes!" Spica immediately stepped away.
Cang Qiao looked at the sky with a slightly cold expression.
