Chapter 156: Killing People and Destroying Mouths
"Bingxin, what's wrong with you!"
Suddenly, Bing Xin's series of actions were taken off guard without warning, and everyone in the hall was startled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Cheng Jinzhi hurriedly stepped forward to support Bingxin, who was already dying, although his movements kept up with the rhythm, he still did not completely ease up mentally.
"She must have been poisoned. ā
Gao Heng knelt on one knee, picked up Bingxin's fingers and looked at them twice, only to see that her originally white and shiny nails had now taken on a dull gray-purple color.
"What? You say poisoning?"
Cheng Jinzhi's eyebrows trembled, he looked at the red and piercing blood on the ground in disbelief, and then looked at Bingxin's bloodless face, and was in a trance for a moment, only then he shook Bingxin, who was already weakly conscious, but saw that her eyes were full of tears, and she moved her lips with difficulty.
"Jade pot... Why..."
Her voice was extremely soft, but it was like a thorn piercing Cheng Jinzhi's heart, stabbing a faint pain somewhere in her heart.
As the strength of the grip on Cheng Jinzhi's arm loosened, the despair in Bingxin's eyes gradually faded, and he closed his eyes silently, leaving only two thin tear stains flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Gao Heng reached out to probe her breath, checked her pulse again, and finally shook his head grimly.
"You... You're kidding, right?"
Cheng Jinzhi smiled miserably, suddenly looked at Bing Xin who was motionless in his arms, was stunned for a while, his body was weak, and he suddenly sat on the ground in a daze.
It's not fear, it's not panic, it's not grief.
More often than not, it is a kind of shock that life is fleeting and overwhelmed.
All this happened so fast that she really never dreamed that Bing Xin would die like this.
Obviously, she was still sad and sad about her good sister's betrayal a second ago, and her body was still as warm as ever, why did she close her eyes and go west now?
Can a person's life really be so fragile and so child's play?
Cheng Jinzhi stiffly put Bingxin's body flat on the ground, recalling the words she said before she died, only to feel a biting cold on her back, mixed with a bit of guilt straight to her heart, making her unconsciously wrap her hands around her chest.
..................
After the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, judging from the symptoms of Bingxin poisoning, she should have been infected with a poison called "Kujue Grass".
This poison is produced in the northwest region and is highly toxic, but ordinary people will not die immediately after ingesting it, but usually after three to five hours, the toxicity will begin to work, but the effect is fatal.
This also explains that it has been clear that Bingxin has been away from the palace for some time, why he suddenly showed signs of poisoning after being brought back.
From this point of view, coupled with what Bing Xin said before he died, it is even more certain that it is the possibility that the jade pot was poisoned.
It's just that she didn't expect that Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Xun just pretended to let Bingxin escape, but in fact, they sent someone to follow them all the way, and finally even witnessed the process of her poisonous hair.
In order to block the news of Bingxin's death, his body was temporarily placed in the warm pavilion in the side hall.
Cheng Jinzhi re-covered Bingxin's peaceful sleeping face with the bedding, and saw that her originally red lips had begun to gradually turn black and purple at this time, and finally couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and sighed softly.
"Actually, there is one thing that I still find a little strange. ā
Cheng Jinzhi turned his head away, staring at the unlit Flying Crane gilt candlestick in front of him, and his vision slowly became sloppy.
"If I were a jade pot and poisoned her directly in the mansion, then everyone would naturally think that she was desperate and chose to commit suicide in fear of crime, wouldn't it be more time-saving and labor-saving to do so?
Gao Xun said thoughtfully: "Is it because of the poison in her hand, there is only that withered grass?"
"Your Royal Highness King Jin, are you serious?"
Cheng Jinzhi glanced at Gao Xun wordlessly, and casually took the fruit knife in the fruit bowl on the table and gestured twice.
"Anyone who has ever stipulated that poison must be used to kill someone, you see that I can take it casually and it is a murder weapon. As long as she has this evil thought in her heart, Bing Xin is destined to not be able to escape this catastrophe. ā
"Maybe she has some last resort, right?" Gao Heng's eyelashes moved slightly, "When she bows her head and confesses, you can ask her in person." ā
"Bow down and confess......" Cheng Jinzhi lowered his hips and shoulders a little dullly when he heard this, "Now that Bingxin is dead, how can this woman be so cunning and confess to us easily?"
"But what if you let her know that Bingxin is not dead, even if a whole day has passed, she is still alive and well. ā
Gao Heng turned his back and said a meaningful sentence, and set his eyes on the budding plum outside the window.
"But the truth is, Bingxin is dead......, isn't it?
Cheng Jinzhi said eagerly, and with a flash of inspiration in his mind, he suddenly stopped abruptly and slammed his palm.
"Wait, I got it!"
"Huh?"
"You want to create the illusion that Bing Xin is not dead, and make Jade Hu's heart nervous. After all, as long as Bingxin is alive, it will be the biggest threat to her, and she will be in danger of being exposed at any time. ā
"You seem to have opened up a lot more lately than you used to. ā
Gao Heng looked at Cheng Jinzhi with a slight raise of his eyebrows, and when he saw her pretending to raise her chin, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, but she quickly regained her cold look.
"Since she dared to murder Bingxin once, if she couldn't succeed, there would inevitably be a second time. As long as she learns that Bingxin is still alive in the world, and we lie that we already know where Bingxin is now, at such a juncture, she will definitely jump over the wall and kill Bingxin again. ā
"That's right. Cheng Jinzhi shook his fist angrily, "As long as we catch her when she makes a move, she won't be able to quibble." Then she will not be a jade pot, but a urinal. ā
"Why a urinal?"
"Of course, it's because I'm scared to pee. ā
Cheng Jinzhi squeezed his eyes at Gao Xun, but saw him change color with a puzzled expression: "Third brother, Jin Zhi, I understand what you said." Now the point is, we can't resurrect Ice Heart. ā
"Isn't this simple?" Cheng Jinzhi's eyes turned slightly, "Wouldn't it be nice to find someone with a similar body shape to pretend to be her?"
"Are you sure?" Gao Heng said in a worried tone, "That jade pot is so clever, if she sees through it, it will be a failure." ā
The sixth brother's worries are not unreasonable. It's just that now the situation is forcing that there is no better way. Gao Heng twisted the corners of his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes flowed, "Besides, once a person is in a critical moment, his ability to identify and think about problems is often not as calm and rational as usual. ā
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Cheng Jinzhi calmly, the cold light in his dark eyes froze.
In other words, for the jade pot, her mentality at that time must have been that she would rather kill by mistake than let go. ā
"It's better to kill by mistake than to let go. ā
Cheng Jinzhi repeated the words in her mouth, only to feel that the previous thorough chill wrapped in anger swept from the depths of her heart, making her unconsciously purse her lips tightly.
