Chapter 72: Poison Gu (2nd Update)

Xi Zhi learned about the Chu family and immediately left the palace and rushed to the Chu Mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Chu Zhengqing grew up with him since he was a child, Xi Zhi treated him like a brother, and if there was such a big thing in the Chu family, he naturally wanted to come.

It happened that Lin Qingwu also came out of the palace in disguise to Chu Mansion, and was told that the prince was coming before he could talk to Chu Zhengqing. She glanced at Chu Zhengqing, and after getting a look from the other party, she hid behind the screen.

As soon as Xi Zhi entered the door, he first gave Chu Zhengqing, who was wearing linen and filial piety, a hug.

"Are you alright?" Xi Zhi asked with concern.

"Hmm." Chu Zhengqing smiled bitterly, such a simple word aptly showed his grief.

Lin Qingwu behind the screen listened to it, and had to sigh that the palace master's acting skills were really good.

"It's not that the emperor is infected with the wind and cold, and it won't heal for a long time, Your Highness should go back to the palace to visit the emperor earlier." After the two talked for a while, Chu Zhengqing persuaded Xi Zhi not to delay time and hurry back to the palace.

"My father's illness has dragged on for a long time, although it is not too serious, but it has not been improved, and the doctors in the hospital have already taken medicine to recuperate for my father." Speaking of Emperor Yongding's illness, Xi Zhi frowned.

In the end, it is not the prime of life, and a small illness is easy to drag into a major illness.

Xi Zhi wanted to stay, but Chu Zhengqing repeatedly emphasized that he was no problem alone, so that Xi Zhi could rest assured. Xi Zhi couldn't resist him, so he had to decide to go back to the palace.

"By the way, how are you doing with the dancing concubine?" When Chu Zhengqing sent Xi Zhi out, he suddenly asked.

Xi Zhi rarely hid anything from him, so Chu Zhengqing listened to Xi Zhi talk about the two of them early in the morning.

Xi Zhi didn't answer, he didn't know how to answer. Very good? Not good?

"Your Highness, although you know some things, I still have to say them. Once your relationship with the dancing concubine is exposed, she must be the first to die, and you have no ability to protect her at all. Chu Zhengqing stated the stakes and said straight to the point.

"What do you want to say?" Xi Zhi looked at Chu Zhengqing, and Chu Zhengqing's face was unusually serious.

"Do you want to see Lin Qingwu being split by five horses?" Chu Zhengqing's eyes suddenly sharpened, and Xi Zhi felt a little strange.

"I'll do everything I can to protect her." Xi Zhi also became as calm as usual, and his tone was more determined.

"Your Highness knows in your heart that this is empty words." Chu Zhengqing snorted and mocked.

"Zhengqing, what do you want to say?" Xi Zhi's brows furrowed more and more, indicating that he was on the verge of an emotional breakdown.

Chu Zhengqing hit the nail on the head today, and it hurt his heart a little.

"Seizure, emperor, throne." These three words, Chu Zhengqing squeezed out from between his teeth, and he seemed a little ruthless.

"Presumptuous!" Xi Zhi shouted, and Chu Zhengqing knelt down in response.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Xi Zhi's expression was very serious, and his face was cold.

"The emperor ignored the government for several months, and was extravagant, favored the concubines, built a large number of buildings, and levy forced labor, and he had long lost the support of the people. Even if His Highness doesn't do this, there will always be people who will do it nowadays when there are endless uprisings in various places. When that time comes, in this world, I am afraid that I will not be surnamed Xi! ”

Chu Zhengqing did not panic at all, and said sonorously.

"Besides, Your Highness, you have long participated in the country, and during the emperor's dragon body illness, you acted as an agent for political affairs, and won the support of the ministers, Zhengqing didn't think there was anything wrong with this idea!"

Lin Qingwu has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and his hearing is sharper than ordinary people, Xi Zhi and Chu Zhengqing talked louder, and Lin Qingwu listened to it word for word.

To be honest, Chu Zhengqing's words are reasonable, and Xi Zhi will not be unclear.

Xi Zhi waved his hand to forbid Chu Zhengqing, who was still speaking generously, he looked around irritably, and suddenly saw a human corpse on the side of the rockery.

"What is this?" Xi Zhi walked over, looked at a few corpses piled up over there, and asked in a little surprise.

Chu Zhengqing had a touch of the same in his eyes, but it was only a matter of a moment, and in the next second, he changed to a heavy expression and said, "It's the corpse of the family who hasn't had time to deal with it." Now the government has to hire new people, and there are not enough people, so I am afraid that it will be missed. ”

Xi Zhi squatted down while listening to Chu Zhengqing's words, these corpses were all stabbed in the heart with a hidden weapon and died, killing with one blow, the murderer looked very organized, and had been systematically trained, and shot cleanly.

Xi Zhi looked at it twice, then stood up, and said as he walked outside the house: "Today's words, I advise you to swallow them back into your stomach word by word." I'll go back to the palace first, if you need to send someone to the East Palace to find me, go first. ”

Chu Zhengqing watched Xi Zhi's back as he walked away until he disappeared. Instead of looking back, he said, "Guess he'll do that?" ”

Lin Qingwu walked out after Xi Zhi turned around and stood still behind Chu Zhengqing. Hearing Chu Zhengqing ask her, she groaned slightly and replied, "He won't." ”

"I also know he won't do it easily." Chu Zhengqing smiled, "So, we have to help him." The woman who was Concubine Shu sold her official title with her brother and her brother, and I had evidence of it. If you spread these things in front of her and threaten her, she will definitely jump over the wall and do even more excessive things. Next, it depends on your Lin Qingwu's hand is broken. ”

Chu Zhengqing was confident, just waiting to see a good show that had been planned by the Phantom Chong Palace for eighteen years.

Chu Zhengqing turned around and looked at Lin Qingwu playfully: "Both of them are men who have shared the bed with you, can you bear to see them die?" Or, can you bear to see Xi Zhi die? ”

The palace master laughed. Lin Qingwu lowered his eyes and replied respectfully.

Chu Zhengqing laughed even more wantonly, and in the next second, he suddenly approached Lin Qingwu and whispered: "I trust you the most, and I don't trust you the most." Light dance, your life, Bai La's life, all belong to the Phantom Chong Palace, if you make the slightest mistake, just wait for the poison to die. ”

Lin Qingwu was silent, and watched Chu Zhengqing brush his sleeves away.

Chu Zhengqing left an antidote on the table, which could cure her poison for a month.

She picked up the antidote and swallowed it, wanting to calm her breath, but she couldn't help laughing.

Embarrassed, really embarrassed.

To say that she is a walking dead is not false at all.

She was an orphan who was begging for a living on the streets with a group of children of her own age and background. They had been blown by the wind and rained, and just when they were about to lose their lives, a group of people suddenly appeared and took them away.

This area is more than ten years.

The selection of seedlings in the Phantom Chonggong is extremely strict, and more children who are helpless but malleable are selected to cultivate. Of the orphans who were brought into the Illusion Chong Palace with Lin Qingwu, only Lin Qingwu, Bai La, and a little boy named Xiao Rong survived.

Xiao Rong later died in a mission to assassinate Wang Feng, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, because he was betrayed and his whereabouts were exposed, and he died of poisoning after being discovered.

Since then, in order to prevent any more rebellions, the Phantom Chong Palace has been forced to take the marrow cleansing pill from top to bottom, and regularly has to take the antidote given by the palace master, otherwise it will be poisoned and drained of the bone marrow and die.
