Wei Hanzhang suppressed the timidity in his heart, fearing that he would be held back. In the chaos, several palace ladies had been bitten by snakes and screamed repeatedly.
After a while, one of the guards was also caught in the attack. Xia Tian's clothes were already thin, and his fangs were unstoppable. These snakes swam from all directions, and some fell directly from the trees, which was weird and terrifying.
"Be careful!" Wei Hanzhang tightened his elbows and was pulled aside by Chen Zishu. He saw a flash of green in front of his eyes. It turned out to be a green strip about three feet long falling vertically. He told him to cut off seven pieces of it with one swing of his sword. Inches, two sections of body squirmed in the grass.
Wei Hanzhang's arms had fine goosebumps and he said hoarsely: "Thank you very much."
"This place is shady and cool, and it has not been inhabited for many years. It is not unusual for snakes to appear, but..." Chen Zishu looked at more and more venomous snakes with a solemn expression. He looked back and said: "These snakes have been chasing people. Something is really wrong, it seems like I have found the right direction.”
"What?" Wei Hanzhang reacted quickly and said in a hoarse voice, "You mean you are here for me?"
"Girl, think about it, do you have anything on you, or have you come into contact with anything new today..." He held her wrist and ran quickly, and then said: "Stop talking about it now, run faster."
The guards protected a path and told them to retreat first, leaving themselves behind to intercept the snakes behind them. However, places with trees could not be ignored, and no one knew whether more snakes would fall down.
Wei Hansu, who was on Mei Gu's back, had passed out at some point. Fortunately, there were dense guards in the inner city. After running for a while, he met a group of imperial guards who came to rescue him. Wei Hanzhang felt relieved and was about to lose his strength. When he was sitting on the ground, Chen Zishu grabbed his elbows and helped him up.
He was about to say something when he saw another green snake emerging from the grass at his feet!
Wei Hanzhang could no longer control her screams. The green snake, which almost blended in with the grass, was as thick as an adult man's wrist. It was spitting out snake messages and pounced towards her.
The world was spinning for a while, and Chen Zishu hugged her and rolled to avoid the blow. He was still in shock, and the snake spat out a dark red message and faced this side again.
Chen Zishu pulled her behind him and blocked the front.
Aunt Mei came over to this side. Wei Hansu on her back seemed to have been awakened by the screams. As he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw the majestic back of the man in black robes in front of him, "...Chen Shizi."
Chen Zishu stood with his back to them, without turning around or making a sound, confronting the green snake.
Wei Hanzhang suppressed the fear in his heart, always feeling that the snake was looking at him, and his legs were shaking helplessly.
After a moment of confrontation, the snake moved and pounced in front of him in an instant. The knife in Chen Zishu's hand had been lost halfway, so he could only grab it with his bare hands. The snake's body was slippery, and the green snake quickly passed him and rushed towards... Mei Gu?
Mei Gu realized that the snake was coming for her and hurriedly led the snake away.
At this time, a cold arrow came through the air and hit the green snake seven inches in the middle.
Before Wei Hanzhang could react, he saw Chen Zishu kneeling on one knee in front of him.
"Join His Majesty the Crown Prince."
Xiao Junzhan arrived at some unknown time. He was followed by several courtiers. Their calm and unpredictable faces were looking at this side without any disturbance.
"... Bo Qian..." Wei Hanzhang's heart skipped a beat. She was already in shock and was about to throw herself into his arms, but his calm eyes kept her in place.
He looked at her steadily, then moved his gaze to Chen Zishu without saying a word, and said calmly: "What happened here."
Chen Zishu clasped his fists and said, "The two Miss Wei were visiting the back garden together and were attacked by poisonous snakes. This may not be an accident. Your Highness can have someone investigate."
Xiao Junzhan nodded slightly and said, "Is anyone injured?"
Chen Zishu answered. During the question and answer, Wei Hanzhang couldn't help but interject: "My seventh sister was bitten by a poisonous snake. Can Your Highness call the accompanying imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment?"
Her sudden interjection made Xiao Junzhan's tall figure startled slightly, and he looked at her again, as if he could no longer bear it, and walked over quickly. He walked closer, looked the person up and down, then lowered his head and said to Chen Zishu: "Get up first, take the wounded down for treatment, and then come back with me to report today's details."
Chen Zishu took the order and left.
Wei Hanzhang narrowly escaped death, but his lover's attitude was indifferent. He felt a little aggrieved and wanted to be petty, but this was outside, and several courtiers were still looking here not far away. Even Wei Heng's expressions were expressions if he looked closely. Worried among the crowd...
Xiao Junzhan glanced at Aunt Mei who was carrying someone on her back, and said with an indifferent expression: "Take someone back."
Mei Gu's face turned pale and she said 'Promise'.
"Don't blame Aunt Mei, I asked her to carry Seventh Sister on her back." Afraid that this person would be angry with Aunt Mei, Wei Hanzhang wanted to explain, but suddenly his knees tightened, and he stopped him in front of so many people. Pick up.
For a moment, she couldn't say a word and buried her face in his arms.
Back at Qixiang Palace, several accompanying imperial physicians were already waiting inside.
One of them was the old doctor who had treated Rou Niang before. After bowing and saluting,
Xiao Junzhan placed the person on the collapse and ordered: "Come here and show her whether she has been poisoned by snake venom."
Wei Hanzhang tugged on his sleeve: "My seventh sister..."
The voice disappeared in his lowered eyes.
This is a strange look, like a high-ranking god who cannot be disobeyed.
Seeing the shrinking look in the little girl's eyes, Xiao Junzhan tried his best to soften his gaze and said: "There are many imperial doctors accompanying me, so you don't need to worry about your seventh sister."
When the imperial doctor checked her pulse, he sat on the edge of the bed, held her in his arms, and protected her carefully as if she were holding the most important treasure.
"From the pulse point of view, the girl was not bitten by a snake," the old doctor frowned, "However, you seem to have the smell of insect powder on your body."
Wei Hanzhang was stunned: "Pulling insect powder?"
Xiao Junzhan made a prompt decision and directly picked her up from the couch, entered the side room, and coldly ordered the maid: "Go and get a set of clean clothes for you girl to change into."
After running away for a while, her clothes were already covered with dirt stains and specks of snake blood. Luzhu and Lulan held up a new suit of clothes and asked the imperial doctor to check them before going inside to change them for Wei Hanzhang.
Finally, the doctor confirmed that the blood-stained clothes he had changed into were stained with a little bit of worm powder.
Wei Hanzhang was surprised: "I have worn this dress several times in the capital. It is not new. It has been kept in a box. No one else can touch it except my personal maid and a few aunts."
Xiao Junzhan's face was frighteningly cold: "Then check them one by one."
He raised his voice and was about to give the order when Wei Hanzhang suddenly had an idea, "Could it have gotten on someone else's clothes?"
She remembered that the last person the green snake pounced on was not herself, but Aunt Mei... or it might be Wei Hansu on Aunt Mei's back.
The imperial doctor took the order and went to Wei Hansu's place. He came back after a while and reported: "The clothes worn by the seventh girl of the Wei family today are indeed filled with the fragrance of leviathan powder."
