Although the secret guard felt that it was a little inappropriate in his heart. After all, his master's identity shouldn't be exposed like this, but when he thought of his master's feelings for Madam, the secret guard instantly fell silent. He bowed slightly and turned to leave. 1357924?
Li Zixuan stood in the same place for a long time, then sighed faintly and walked towards Jiujiu's bedroom.
Chu Hexin's drug was very clever. The wine alone was not poisonous, and so was the incense in the carriage. But if they were mixed together, it would be the most powerful knockout drug. Even if Jiujiu was brought in and out, she was still unconscious, which could be seen from this.
Li Zixuan stretched out his hand and gently stroked Jiujiu's cheek. Feeling the delicate touch of the skin under his hand, and then thinking of what would happen to Jiujiu if he didn't let the secret guard stay by Jiujiu's side, Li Zixuan's eyes became more and more hazy. Since he couldn't protect his beloved if he didn't fight, then he would fight for it.
Li Zixuan sat quietly by the bed for a long time before Jiujiu opened her eyes.
Her body was sore and weak, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Jiujiu blinked her eyes, turned her head to look at Li Zixuan, and opened her mouth. Her voice was hoarse, as if a handful of sand was stuffed in her mouth. Jiujiu subconsciously frowned and supported herself to get up from the bed: "What's wrong with me?"
Li Zixuan hurriedly held Jiujiu's shoulder and let her lie back down. He rubbed Jiujiu's cheek and explained: "You've been drugged."
"Drugged?"
Li Zixuan nodded and made a sound of "En".
Jiujiu frowned and was a little puzzled. Li Zixuan had people in charge of her food and drink. How could she be drugged for no reason?
Feeling Jiujiu's doubts and puzzlement, Li Zixuan took Jiujiu into his arms and said in a low and powerful voice: "I will avenge you."
Jiujiu blinked and asked tentatively, "It's that woman."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Zixuan's arm muscles tightened around her. Jiujiu had only asked casually. She didn't expect it to really be Chu Hexin.
Although Jiujiu didn't really like Chu Hexin, she didn't take her seriously because she thought about what would happen three years later. However, she didn't expect that because her relationship with Li Zixuan had improved, Chu Hexin would fall in love with Li Zixuan just like in the plot. Therefore, Chu Hexin, who placed Li Zixuan at the top of her heart, treated her as a thorn in her side. She couldn't wait to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Fortunately, he was only drugged. If it was poison, then he would have died in vain.
Jiujiu felt that she seemed to have forgotten how to behave after being lured by Li Zixuan these days.
Thinking about her mission, Jiujiu couldn't help but frown.
Initially, he had thought that he would only need to properly deal with Chu Hexin after three years but now, Chu Hexin clearly looked like she would not rest until she was dead. It was clear that he had been living too comfortably.
With a sigh, Jiujiu blinked and put her hand on Li Zixuan's thin waist. She said softly, "Zixuan, I'm sorry."
Jiujiu had always been delicate in front of him. Li Zixuan's body couldn't help but stiffen when she suddenly apologized to him. He picked up Jiujiu and looked at her eyes. Li Zixuan's pupils were black and white, as if he could see the depths of Jiujiu's soul through her eyes: "What's wrong? Why are you sorry?"
Jiujiu lowered her eyes and didn't look at Li Zixuan. She just said, "I'm too willful."
"Madam, you're right. That woman is too despicable."
"No, it's my fault, Zixuan." Jiujiu gently leaned on Li Zixuan's chest. She heard Li Zixuan's strong and powerful heartbeat. Jiujiu's mood slowly calmed down: "I don't like that woman. I don't like the way she looks at you."
Li Zixuan: "I don't like it either. So, leave these things to me."
Jiujiu shook her head: "I'll go with you."
Looking at Jiujiu's stubborn face, Li Zixuan couldn't help but sigh. He looked down at Jiujiu's eyes, which were shining under the light like the brightest pearls in the world. He lowered his head and gently kissed her eyelids, then said softly: "Madam, I actually know who my parents are."
Jiujiu was stunned and raised her head to look at Li Zixuan.
Li Zixuan's finger gently slid across Jiujiu's cheek. The corner of his mouth was slightly pursed, and his face was solemn as he spoke word by word.
Everyone knew that the Emperor had seven sons. The First Prince was born from the Empress. He was the eldest son and was the First Prince, so he was named the Crown Prince when he was born. The Second Prince was the current Prince Heqin and was the most talented of all the Emperor's sons. It was a pity that his mother was a palace maid. It was only after the Emperor accidentally found out that she was pregnant that he was given the title of Cairen. The other sons were all born from the concubines.
But no one knew that the Emperor didn't have seven sons, but eight. The eighth son was born from the Emperor's concubine, Imperial Concubine Wei. Because Imperial Concubine Wei was raped, the Empress was afraid that the Eighth Prince would threaten the Crown Prince's position. So, when the Eighth Prince was born, he was regarded as a thorn in the Empress's side.
She even drugged the Eighth Prince when the Eighth Prince was one year old. If it wasn't for Imperial Concubine Wei saving a godly doctor when she was young, and luckily the doctor gave her the medicine, it was likely that the Eighth Prince would have been dead.
Although Imperial Concubine Wei was in the prime of her life, it was rare for her to be clear-headed. She knew that if her son continued to stay in the palace, he would be killed by the Empress sooner or later. So, she found an excuse. When the Eighth Prince was five years old, she had her confidants send the Eighth Prince out of the palace. But she didn't expect that her two confidants had already been bribed by the Empress.
The Empress let her confidants kill the Eighth Prince, but the two confidants were soft-hearted when they did it. They came up with an idea to throw the Eighth Prince to the side of the road and let him fend for himself. But they didn't expect that he would be picked up by Jiujiu's parents and taken back to be a child husband.
Although Imperial Concubine Wei trusted her confidants, she still sent people to take care of Li Zixuan. After discovering that Li Zixuan was thrown to the side of the road by the two confidants and was adopted by a merchant family, although she wanted to take Li Zixuan back, she knew that Li Zixuan was young, and the Emperor's love for her was less and less. If she took Li Zixuan back, she was afraid that he still wouldn't be able to escape the Empress's assassination. So, she let Li Zixuan stay in Yan fu.
If it wasn't for Chu Hexin and Prince He making a move against Jiujiu, Li Zixuan might really be willing to be a merchant for the rest of his life.
But now, he had someone he wanted to protect, and that position was the most suitable position in the world to protect a person.
In the past, he disdained that position, but now, for Jiujiu, he naturally had to fight for it.
Although the current Crown Prince didn't do anything wrong, he was too rigid in following the rules. And there were Xiongnu provocations at the border. If the throne was passed to the Crown Prince, he probably wouldn't be able to hold it for long. Since it was passed to anyone, why couldn't it be passed to him?
Li Zixuan had never been a weak-willed person. When Imperial Concubine Wei married him, he asked for people to form a team.
