The eastern sky was a touch of white, and a carriage rumbled from the darkness to dawn.
Song Jiong concentrated on driving. He must send Lu Yaoyao to Qingzhou as soon as possible. This was the task of the pavilion master. He could not let him down again.
Inside the carriage, Ye Zhen was sweating profusely. She leaned against the wall and gritted her teeth to endure the pain. Her whole body felt uncomfortable, as if something was biting her, but her pulse was normal. Even the pulse of the fetus was fine. This feeling was like being poisoned.
Ye Zhen breathed rapidly. She knew that she must have been poisoned when she was in the priest's hall. Qi Ruoshui must have poisoned her.
She didn't know what kind of poison she had, and she didn't even know how to detoxify it. Was she going to die?
"Calm down, calm down." Ye Zhen closed her eyes. She had read books about poisonous insects. She must know what kind of poison she had.
She swallowed a few mouthfuls of it and felt the pain in her body ease a little.
Damn Qi Ruoshui! Ye Zhen cursed in her heart. If anything happened to her child, she would not let him go. Never!
"We have to rest in the front for a while tonight. I have to change horses. You can rest assured that our people have prepared a place for us. No one will find us." Song Jiong said from outside. "There are dry food and water in the carriage. You can eat some."
"Thank you." Ye Zhen whispered.
She took out a food box from the cabinet under the couch. It contained not only dry food but also very delicate pastries. She reluctantly ate two pieces and drank two glasses of water. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep on the couch.
Song Jiong, who was driving the carriage, nibbled on the cake and thought: If the pavilion master comes out of the priest's hall this time, will Lu Yaoyao be moved to marry him? Unfortunately, she is already the empress. What if she elopes with the pavilion master?
Song Jiong smiled and was full of expectations for the future of life on the run.
It should be exciting.
In the carriage, Ye Zhen was immersed in her dream.
She didn't know how she came to this space. This was the first time she dreamed of coming here. Usually, she entered the space in her sea of consciousness.
Suddenly, a colorful insect the size of a finger appeared in front of her. She felt a chill all over her body. She took a few steps back and stared at the insect. She found that the insect was growing slowly.
This is not a bug.
Ye Zhen watched in horror as the colorful worm grew bigger and bigger, its tongue almost as big as her fist.
Yin Snake Gu
Ye Zhen remembered the books she had read about voodoo. This kind of snake, which was the same size as a worm, was called the Yin Snake. This kind of snake egg had been taken to cultivate voodoo before it was born. The snake egg would hatch when it entered the human stomach, and then grow in the human body. If the antidote was taken every day, it could inhibit its growth rate in the body. Otherwise, it would grow very fast and eventually eat the person.
Was this Yin Snake the Gu poison in her body? When did Qi Ruoshui poison her?
The Hidden Snake spat out its bright red tongue and stared at Ye Zhen with a pair of sinister eyes.
Cold sweat broke out all over Ye Zhen's body, and she took a few steps back.
If this was the Yin Snake Gu in her body, she really did not know how to detoxify it. Would the spiritual spring work? What if the spiritual spring nourished the Yin Snake instead?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Suddenly, the Yin Snake jumped up, opened its ferocious mouth and rushed towards her.
Ye Zhen screamed. Suddenly, a phoenix's cry came, and a dazzling flame ignited behind her. She saw the phoenix, who had been disdainful of her, bite the Yin Snake and swallow it in a few bites.
The phoenix burped after eating, bowed its head and pecked its wings. It looked at Ye Zhen lazily, spread its wings and flew away.
Ye Zhen's face was blank. She felt that in the eyes of the phoenix, she seemed to be useless.
"Empress, Empress."
Ye Zhen heard someone calling her and was shocked. She opened her eyes and saw Song Jiong, the driver, standing outside and calling her.
"What's the matter?" Ye Zhen was a little dizzy from sleep. When she looked up, it was already dark outside.
Song Jiong said, "We're here. Let's spend the night here."
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Okay, I know."
Their carriage was parked in the alley, next to a small house. There were already two people standing in front of the door, one of whom Ye Zhen knew. It was Qianxue.
"Song Jiong, where is the Lord?" Qianxue didn't seem to see Ye Zhen. Her eyes were fixed on the back, thinking that Murong Ke had not come yet.
"The Lord is still in the Priest Hall." Song Jiong whispered. "Take the Empress in to rest first. We have to hurry tomorrow."
Qianxue asked angrily, "What do you mean by this? What do you mean by the Lord is still in the Priest Hall? Didn't the Lord go to save this woman?"
Song Jiong glanced at Ye Zhen and whispered, "Teng Ye has gone to save the Lord. I don't know what happened."
"Then you should know!" Qianxue glared at Ye Zhen. "Since our Lord has not left, why are you here?"
"Murong Ke saved me …" Ye Zhen frowned slightly. "He was trapped in the Priest Hall to save me."
Qianxue shouted angrily, "Lu Yaoyao, you evil spirit, why don't you go to hell?"
Song Jiong hurriedly stood in front of Ye Zhen and frowned at Qianxue. "Qianxue, she is the Lord's sweetheart. Don't do anything stupid."
If Qianxue dared to hurt Lu Yaoyao, he felt that the Lord would definitely kill her.
When Ye Zhen saw Qianxue's reaction, she realized that the person Qianxue liked was Murong Ke. When she was in the capital, Mo Rongzhan imprisoned her in the palace because of Murong Ke.
"I'm going to kill her." Qianxue glared at Ye Zhen with red eyes. She was jealous of this woman. She was already married to Mo Rongzhan. Why could she still get Murong Ke's love? She even risked her life for her. What was so good about Lu Yaoyao? She pushed Song Jiong away. "Go away!"
"Qianxue!" Song Jiong shouted.
Ye Zhen took a few steps back and saw a whip on the shaft of the carriage. She grabbed it and threw it at Qianxue, entangling her hand. "Kill me! Do you think Murong Ke will come back to you?"
Song Jiong wanted to step forward to stop Qianxue, but he was blocked by the people behind her. "This woman is a bane. As long as she is alive, the Lord will die sooner or later."
Qianxue pulled the rope hard and sneered at Ye Zhen. Today, she must kill this woman.
"Even if you kill her, the Lord will not like you. Why don't you understand?" Song Jiong cried.
"Shut up!" Qianxue shouted at Song Jiong. She took a sharp sword from her waist with one hand and cut the whip in Ye Zhen's hand. "Go to hell, Lu Yaoyao!"
Her sword slashed at Ye Zhen with a smug and ferocious smile on her face. Her sword was blocked and a person appeared in front of Ye Zhen.
"Shen Yi!" Ye Zhen exclaimed. She didn't expect to see him here.
