Chapter 136: Infernal Affairs
Zhu Yanxi was about to say something, but the pain in her heart made her frown suddenly, biting her lip flap tightly, a little cold sweat, and a tingling sensation that hurt to the bone, making her originally crimson face pale for a while, and the pain this time was even more painful than the last time.
"Yan'er!" Tuoba Yuanqiong was startled, and hurriedly hugged Yan Xi in his arms, looking at the miserable white face and the lip flap that was bitten tightly because of the pain, his heart palpitated.
The pine fragrance from Tuoba Yuanqiong's body, the warm breath made Yan Xi feel a lot more comfortable, subconsciously, he leaned straight into his arms, and his soft and boneless hand also climbed Tuoba Yuanqiong's neck, and sure enough, the tingling sensation was reduced a little, and the male breath was really as the Queen Mother said, which could relieve the pain.
Tuoba Yuanqiong remembered what the Queen Mother said to Yan Xi, and couldn't help but cover Yan Xi's lips, and forcefully pried open the tightly bitten lip flap, without a trace of lust, just to relieve the pain caused by this damn Gu poison.
Soon, the tingling sensation disappeared, and Yan Xi was a little weak, leaning on Tuoba Yuanqiong, closing his eyes and resting.
Tuoba Yuanqiong stared at the person in his arms, his fists clenched.
The sedan chair stopped in front of the palace gate of the Imperial Palace, and Zhu Yanxi woke up quietly, accompanied by Tuoba Yuanqiong, and wanted to take it into the Imperial Palace.
When saluting to Concubine Lan Shu, Concubine Lan hurriedly helped the two of them up, signaling Xiaofeng to retreat with the palace people, and Concubine Li learned the identity of Concubine Lan again, and then left the Imperial Palace.
Motai Qingqing looked at Yan Xi stunned at herself, blinked desperately, and smiled happily, "It seems that my cousin-in-law is also fascinated by Qingqing, and it is really difficult to give up on herself because of her natural beauty." β
The narcissistic words made Zhu Yanxi cover her mouth and chuckle, and Motai Qingqing also smiled happily, "Qingqing hasn't had time to congratulate Yuanqiong's cousin and cousin-in-law, now, it's not too late." β
Motai Qingqing took out two jade rings, offered treasures, and handed them to Tuoba Yuanqiong, afraid of being disliked, and hurriedly explained, "Cousin Yuanqiong, don't look disdainful, this jade ring, when the eldest brother and I wanted it, I was not willing to give it." β
Tuoba Yuanqiong raised his eyebrows and handed the jade ring to Yan Xi, but Yan Xi of the box, picked up the ring, the warm touch made her blink, and carefully looked at the big and small jade rings, "Could it be that this is the legendary warm jade?" β
Zhu Yanxi's words made Motai Qingqing's face full of admiration, "How did Yan Xi's cousin-in-law know?" β
"Master once praised that the warm jade is unparalleled in the world, and it is extremely spiritual, if the people who have the same heart get this warm jade, they can also have a heart and feel each other. It's a pity that this warm jade of affection can never find its owner, Master, if it weren't for this warm jade, he wouldn't know that the person he loves is close at hand. Zhu Yan sighed with pity, thinking of the past that the master had told him, and sighed slowly.
"So, this pair of jade rings is the most meaningful for my cousin and sister-in-law~" Motai Qingqing's eyes lit up, looking at the two of them with anticipation, Zhu Yanxi looked at Motai Qingqing's shining eyes, and lowered his head and smiled.
"The county lord is not afraid, is it really a depressing fact that this warm jade brings?"
"Impossible!" Motai Qingqing categorically denied Yan Xi's words, and her little face was full of pride: "I can trust Cousin Yuanqiong, and I also believe that the person who can get Cousin Yuanqiong's heart is naturally a strange woman who is enough to make Qingqing admire and believe." β
"What is Yan'er thinking?" Tuoba Yuanqiong was silent when he saw Yan, but just touched the jade ring and asked.
"It is said that this warm jade, a male and a female, if there is love in the heart, there will be a faint purple luster, as long as one person wears it first, if there is a purple luster, the other person wears it again, the purple luster echoes, there will be a peculiar scene, if it is not the same heart, then the warm jade in the hands of the first wearer, will fade the light. And to verify whether the other party is also ruthless, only the other party needs to wear the jade ring first, it is the same step, sometimes, it is not the other party is ruthless, but both sides, neither of them is each other's favorite. Zhu Yanxi recounted what he knew, with a shallow smile on his lips, looking at Tuoba Yuanqiong.
Mo Tai Qingqing nodded violently, "That's it, and if a lover wears it, willingly, this jade ring will not be able to be taken off again." β
Tuoba Yuanqiong's eyebrows rose, he picked up the jade ring wrench, put on his thumb, and in an instant, the originally snow-white jade ring had a purple halo, and he smiled confidently, looking at Yan Xi.
With a smile on his lips, Zhu Yanxi tilted his head, "If Yan Xi wears it and the ring is dim, what will happen to Yuan Qiong?" β
"This king has a lifetime to try." Without the slightest emotional fluctuation, Tuoba Yuanqiong said domineeringly.
"What if you fail for the rest of your life?" Zhu Yanxi smiled even more, looking at Tuoba Yuanqiong's eyes, flashing with joy.
"That's this ring, nonsense, this king only believes in his own heart, if Yan Er has the ability to deceive this king to believe it for a lifetime, it also proves that Yan Er cares about this king, otherwise, how can he spend a lifetime of calculations and deceive this king willingly?" Low laughter, sound in the ears.
Mo Tai Qingqing looked at Zhu Yanxi dumbfounded, this seemingly weak, gentle woman, although between the lines, as if she was unsure of her emotions to explore Yuan Qiong's cousin's thoughts, but the firmness and calmness in her eyes were like a rock, wouldn't she be a little worried? If it were me, I'm afraid I would be a little uncertain.
Looking at Yan Xi's dumbfounded Motai Qingqing, he looked nervously at the white hand, picked up another jade ring, and slowly put it into the empty ring finger, and his heart instantly became nervous, after all, although he said that he believed in Yuanqiong's cousin and also believed in Yuanqiong's cousin's vision, but this was really nervous, Motai Qingqing looked at Yuanqiong's cousin nervously, only to see him smiling, without waves.
When the jade ring was put on Yan Xi's fingers, a faint purple circle of light flashed, and the pleasant sound knocked out an unknown tune, but it made people feel refreshed.
"Scared the hell out of me." Zhu Yanxi said with a smile.
Motai Qingqing looked at Zhu Yanxi and flattened her mouth, no matter how Yan Xi's cousin looked, she was not afraid, but such an indifferent and confident woman, she finally understood why Yuanqiong's cousin lost her heart, thinking of the person in her heart, Motai Qingqing looked at Yan Xi again, and admired it in her heart, she still didn't dare to try her firm feelings for herself, but in front of this warm jade, these two people were so unthinking, not only because of the depth of love, but also because of their firmness and trust in each other, I was afraid, even if Nuan Yu did not react, Both of them will laugh it off.
Suddenly, Motai Qingqing also envied Zhu Yanxi, and bitterness flowed in her heart, can she be lucky? Thinking of the immortal figure in his mind, Motai Qingqing sighed secretly.
"The county lord looks more nervous than me." Zhu Yanxi smiled, not breaking the depression that flashed in Motai Qingqing's eyes.
"But no, if there is no response, I'm afraid, my eldest brother will kill me." Mo Tai Qingqing pouted, and intimately held Yan Xi's arm, "Cousin Yan Xi, let's have a discussion." β
The smart eyes blinked, and the delicate face made people can't bear to refuse, Zhu Yanxi raised his eyes, "If the county lord is interested in someone, call for warm jade, why not lend it to the county lord." β
"Uh~ I'm so obvious?" Motai Qingqing was embarrassed, lowered her head, her face flushed, and the posture of her little daughter made Zhu Yanxi sigh secretly, this famous Motai Qingqing of Tianlan Country is not blind and naΓ―ve in the word love.
Zhu Yanxi quickly lowered his head to the eyes of Tuoba Yuanqiong, no matter how difficult a person is, no matter how heavy his mind is, in front of the word love, he is just a simple infatuated lover.
Accepting Motai Qingqing's congratulatory gift, Zhu Yanxi made his intentions clear, and Motai Qingqing also put away the lively gesture just now.
"What does Yan Xi's cousin-in-law mean, the one who killed her aunt may not be Concubine Xiaxian?" Mo Taiqing's face was solemn and he frowned.
"Or should I say, this Xia Xian Concubine poured poison into her mother's concubine, but her mother didn't die, so what can the last person next to her mother's body do?" Zhu Yanxi calmly pointed out his suspicions.
Motai Qingqing nodded, "I don't know what others do, but I remember when I was a child, my father's concubine once choked my throat and forced me to drink poison because I witnessed Hongxing coming out of the wall. β
Zhu Yanxi looked up in confusion, and Tuoba Yuanqiong explained: "The daughter of the royal family, there will always be someone like my mother and concubine, the imperial uncle has no daughter, Qingqing was chosen, it is understandable." β
Zhu Yanxi nodded understandingly, although I don't know how deep the Motai Emperor's feelings for his mother are, but from the actions of the Motai royal family over the years, it can also be known that the mother concubine is cherished by the Motai Emperor, so it is understandable that this is like the Motai Qingqing of the mother concubine and has become a unique treasure of the royal family.
"I just don't know, how is this Yunqi's kung fu~" As soon as Zhu Yanxi's words came out, Motai Qingqing looked at Zhu Yanxi in confusion.
"Yun Qi is very hidden, if you really want to be tempted, you can't have any ifs, although the county lord's kung fu is not bad, but it is difficult to ensure that there are people outside the people, and there are heavens outside the sky. Yan Xi doesn't want the county lord to have any contingencies, so if the county lord is tempted, he must do everything he can. β
"I understand!" Motai Qingqing nodded, for Yan Xi's worries, she also had a heart, her aunt's matter has passed for so long, if there is any mistake in this, this hidden person, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find out again.
"If I were Yunqi, I was afraid, and it wasn't necessarily necessary to strike first." Zhu Yanxi lowered her eyes, she originally thought that the truth that had surfaced, but now it seems that it is even more complicated, as for Concubine Xia Xian, she still needs to wait for the news of the Dust Pavilion, no matter who it is, she can't help but miss it in the slightest, I believe that the Dust Pavilion will be whipped up quickly, and she will be back in the near future.
"Therefore, this king will plan everything, since she wants to enter the mansion, it's fine!" Tuoba Yuanqiong's expression was cold, making it difficult to see through the emotions in it, but as far as Motai Qingqing's understanding of his cousin Yuanqiong was concerned, I was afraid that this husband and wife would work together, and Yun Qi would have good fruits to eat.

Inside the Jieyun Palace
Yun Qi held the tea cup, drank the tea leisurely, and listened to the palace people's response.
"Tell me, the prince of the dome and the emperor are on the bar?" Yun Qi frowned, Tuoba Weijun and Concubine Li helped so hard, couldn't they enter the Dome King's Mansion in advance?
"Yes, at that time, the emperor retreated, and the slave and maid only heard it in the emperor's angry yell, and the prince refused." The one who knelt on the ground and replied was the third-class palace maid who was serving in Weiyang Palace. "Moreover, the county lord, the slave and maid still vaguely heard, the emperor said..."
Seeing that the servant girl was struggling, Yun Qi's eyes flashed, obviously very unhappy with the servant girl's support, "What to say!" Give the county lord some profits! β
The ruthlessness of the county lord of Yunqi, this maid knows, there were once palace people who were forcibly divided into corpses because they had something to hide, and even with their family of four, none of them were spared, at this moment, looking at the displeasure of the county lord of Yunqi, the palace maid hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "Back to the county lord's words, the emperor said, if the county lord has an accident, the gossip that the prince must be scrupulous!" β
The servant girl who replied at this moment was extremely happy, if it weren't for the emperor's anger, if she couldn't reply to the county lord at this moment, she was afraid that she would also be punished.
"Excellent! Stand down and go to Wang Jia's side to receive the reward. β
"Thank you for the reward, the slave and maid will retire."
Yun Qi clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with vicious and bloodthirsty killing intent, he calculated Brother Yuanqiong, he would definitely be angry, plus this Zhu Yanxi, he must have said a lot of bad things about himself on Brother Yuanqiong's side, he must be Zhu Yan is better than death! As for Brother Yuan Qiong, since he deliberately wanted them to know that he was not simple, he naturally had the opportunity to ask Brother Yuan Qiong to stop doubting himself.
Just as Yun Qi was thinking, Wang Jia, the chief of the palace, also secretly came to Jieyun Palace.
"Xiaguan Wang Jia, meet the county lord."
"Why are you here?" Yun Qi frowned and waved his hand to signal Wang Jia to get up.
"Because the lower official received a secret edict from the queen." Wang Jia got up, a mocking smile hung on his face, and he tried his best to get close to Zhu Yanxi, in order to follow the county lord's intentions, to get the case to light as soon as possible, and to bring out the queen mother, and only in this way will Zhu Yanxi's poison be revealed, according to the county lord's idea, he also wanted to use this to cut off the mind of the prince of the dome, but, he never thought that the prince would be so hard-hearted, not to marry, let alone that the emperor would collude with the prince and falsely spread the will of the queen mother.
Fortunately, because of this, he was appreciated by Zhu Yanxi and the queen, if it weren't for this, I was afraid that at this moment, the county lord would be unknowingly probed out of the details.
"Oh?" Yun Qi raised her eyebrows, "If it weren't for the big event, you wouldn't have come over, this matter has something to do with the county lord?" β
"Yes!" Wang Jia nodded, "The queen is suspicious of the county lord and wants to go down to the magistrate to thoroughly investigate the details of the county lord." County Lord, do you need to end the queen? β
The cruel expression appeared hideously on Wang Jia's face.
"No!" Yun Qi shook his head and smiled weirdly, "The queen's life, she has Tuoba Weijun who will take it, and the county lord will find an appropriate opportunity to ask Tuoba Weijun to take this evil breath for the county lord." β
"However, the queen is already suspicious of the county lord, this..."
"It doesn't matter, Wang Jia, you are investigating thoroughly, those dead soldiers, it's time to come in handy, it's a pity, you can't be a killer." Yun Qi said pity in her mouth, but there was no regret on her face.
"Yes, the lower official understands, and the lower official retires!" Wang Jia understood, and when he didn't stay any longer and was about to retreat.
"By the way, there is a palace person in Weiyang Palace, and he will go to the palace to find you to receive a reward in a while, this eventful season, do you know how to do it?" Yun Qi's slender fingers brushed her hair and squinted at Wang Jia.
Wang Jia smiled, "Xia Guan understands." β

Following
Next to the pond in the harem, a palace maid in Weiyang Palace fell into the water and had drowned for a long time when she was found.
And the night fell, in the middle of the night
A raging fire ignited in Jieyun Palace
The weird red light approached the sky, the minions in the harem were busy fighting the fire, carrying water to the Jieyun Palace to put out the fire, and the lord of Yunqi was also dying, and was rescued.
"Okay, how can it catch fire!" The queen was furious and swept towards the minions.
"Back to the queen's mother, Xia Guan found a lot of firewood in the apse of Jieyun Palace, I'm afraid that someone did it on purpose!" Wang Jia hurriedly came with the female official of the palace department.
The queen's pupils shrank, and she was angry, "Check it out for this palace!" If this palace finds out which slave is so bold and reckless, he will not be spared! β
"Yes!"
At this moment, the queen looked at Yun Qi, and had a plan in her heart, this is afraid, today's things are all this Yun Qi's self-directed and self-acted play, it seems that for the Dome Palace, she is eager to go in, as early as today, when the emperor told himself about Yuan Qiong's decision, he was still thinking, Yuan Qiong refused, what would this Yun Qi do, now it seems that after this fire, tomorrow's rumors will inevitably boil.
The queen laughed secretly in her heart, if this is the case, it will really be as Yuan Qiong intended, at that time, the emperor will also have an excuse, in order to put an end to rumors, he ordered Yun Qi to live temporarily in the Qiong Palace.
At this moment, Yun Qi woke up faintly, and the queen pretended to be loving, "Lord Yun Qi, are you unwell?" What about the Imperial Doctor? β
"Ahem~ Yunqi is fine, thank you... Ahem... Queen Xie cares. Yun Qi smiled weakly at the queen.
"Alas, this palace will definitely give you an explanation, this Jieyun Palace is already unliveable, it's better to..."
"It's better to stay in the Imperial Palace tonight." Concubine Lan looked at Yun Qi with a smile, "The Imperial Palace of the main palace is not far from the Jieyun Palace, and the emperor has also given a lot of guards, if it is safe, the Imperial Palace must be guaranteed, Queen Mother, what do you think?" β
The queen, who was interrupted by Concubine Lan Shufei, frowned and looked at Concubine Lan Shu, thinking about what Concubine Lan Shu did to Concubine Xia Xian that day, and then looking at this smile, it was exactly the same as the smile that day, the queen thought in her heart, could it be that this Yunqi was really the murderer of Mo Tailan, at this moment, she wanted to take revenge and return?
"Ahem~ Yun Qi is really ~ ahem~ Don't dare to disturb the mother." Yun Qi's face was a little ugly, and she was hypocritically thinking about avoiding Concubine Lan Shu.
"Lord Yunqi shouldn't talk much now, it's the most important thing to take care of your body, in the future, but if you want to enter the palace of the dome king, look at the palace, just stay in the palace of the palace, it just so happens that the palace also has a companion, and it is not too late to move out of the palace when the queen mother finds another palace." Concubine Lan looked at Yun Qi's eyes and said categorically.
"What Concubine Shu said also makes sense, Yunqi's body, but it needs to be well conditioned, so be it." Na Xin'er looked at Concubine Shu is expression, but she was also happy to do it.
Seeing that everything was already like this, Yun Qi was reluctant but couldn't say anything, and nodded weakly, "Yun Qi obeys." β
