Chapter 103: Suspicion
When the last needle pierced Zhi Lan's flesh and blood, the Son of Heaven's heart had a sudden shock, because Zhi Lan, who was almost the same as a dead person, was actually blood-stained at this time.
In his eyes, blood has always been a bad omen, but when he saw Yi Zhixing, he frowned, and immediately rushed to the side of the couch and asked, "Old Wu, what's going on?" ”
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be too anxious, this poison can be regarded as discharged."
Wu Lao's calmness immediately reduced the paleness of the Son of Heaven's face by half, and joy emerged, and Yi Zhixing immediately asked.
"Then according to Elder Wu's meaning, she is now out of danger of her life?"
"Whether or not she can get out of the danger of her life depends on the creation of Lan Cainu, in short, the old man has almost exhausted the poison in her body, because Lan Cainu's body was already very depressed before she was infected with the poison, so the old man does not dare to guarantee whether Lan Cainu will wake up in the end, but please rest assured, at least Lan Cainu's current situation is much better than Shicai."
"So...... Thank you Mr. Wu today. ”
Yi Zhixing was quite in a trance, on the one hand, he was of course glad that Zhilan had escaped, but on the other hand, he was extremely afraid that tonight's anxiety would be staged again in the future, in short, he could only stay.
"Old Wu, before Lan Cainu wakes up, I can only bother you to take care of it, and the rest of the people are not at ease. I'll ask someone to clean up a separate palace for you in the Jingwan Palace later, and I think it's better for you to stay here, so as not to cause her condition to change again. ”
"Since Your Majesty has said so, the old man is naturally obliged."
At this time, looking at the woman on the couch again, Yi Zhixing's gaze was finally not as vicious as when he first arrived tonight, after all, after a few hours of suffering, who still has the strength to continue to harbor hatred? Even if this hatred will return sooner or later, at least at this moment, Yi Zhixing just wants to look at her quietly.
Tonight, the two once again survived a life-threatening catastrophe together.
Soon, when Wu Lao left, only the Son of Heaven was left here, and he was finally willing to take the initiative to approach Zhi Lan, and he no longer resisted, he gently sat down beside Zhi Lan, feeling Zhi Lan's still snort, Yi Zhixing felt relieved.
The Son of Heaven tentatively stretched out his hand, and then carefully placed that hand on Zhi Lan's bloodless jade hands, in a vain attempt to transmit the warmth of his palms to her. However, the man never clinged to that hand, just purely on the top, needless to say, that night did carve a deep shadow in the heart of the Son of Heaven, until this time, even if the palace people dispersed, Zhilan fainted, the Son of Heaven did not have the courage to re-hold the hand of the person in front of him, he always felt that the killing intent of the night still seemed to be diffused around, and the unwillingness outside the killing intent was the weapon that really pierced the heart of the Son of Heaven.
In the end, Yi Zhixing couldn't hold that hand, on the contrary, he stood up immediately, and then called for others to take care of Zhi Lan, while he himself walked out of the Jingyu Palace.
The Son of Heaven walked all the way, his eyebrows furrowed, and finally the destination he arrived at was the torture room where Yan Qi was, and his eyes seemed to be stained with some kind of fierce emotion, and the Son of Heaven became more and more energetic.
At this time, the torture room was still as 'lively' as it was at the beginning of the incident, with basins of cold water splashed one after another, and blood splashed one body after another.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? Lan Cai girl, she ......"
Seeing the arrival of his master, Yan Qi immediately let go of the cold situation.
However, Yi Zhixing did not answer his question, but only asked directly about the true purpose of his trip.
"How's it going? Has the real culprit been found? ”
"Answer: Your Majesty, no one confesses, and the subordinates have not been able to find the real murderer for the time being......"
As the words fell, Yi Zhixing's face had obviously swept a layer of distress and viciousness, looking at the bloody scene in front of him, Yi Zhixing not only did not have a trace of compassion, but even skyrocketed his green muscles.
At this moment, Mo Xiru, whose face was extremely pale on the side, pleaded sadly, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain seemed to melt and fall with the tears on her face in an instant.
"Your Majesty! Please be gracious! The people in the palace of the concubines and concubines know very well that if they keep being tortured, how many innocent people will die......"
"Concubine Wen, calm down, I will never give up until the matter is thoroughly investigated. Some time ago, the people of the Japanese palace dared to set fires, and now there are traitors who assassinate Lan Cainu, if I turn a deaf ear to it, won't this palace be chaotic in the future? ”
Today's Yi Zhixing is very cold, so cold that Mo Xiru can't see anything left to exonerate him, obviously, the Son of Heaven is determined to find out the real murderer behind this, even if it is okay to risk the lives of all innocent people.
Mo Xiru finally let go, and she was weak and collapsed in Su Jin's arms again.
"Mother's ......"
In the end, the Son of Heaven just glanced at Mo Xiru lightly, and did not go to appease him, let alone say any soft words, what was deeply engraved on his eyebrows was the indignation of the thorny matter at hand, for him, Zhilan was murdered by someone with a heart It would never be tolerated by him.
The next moment, Yi Zhixing walked straight to the palace maid with open skin on the side, his expression was not mixed with any compassion for people, but more for the majesty of the Son of Heaven and the ruthlessness that it would not hurt to find out the truth even if it cost countless lives, but seeing his eyes looking left and right at the people in front of him, a voice that could give people palpitations came out of his mouth: "It seems that you don't plan to confess today?" However, I can tell you that Lan Cai is the woman I love, and if any of you know anything but does not report it, I will definitely treat it as the same crime, and I will not be merciful, and not only that, but the lives of your family will also be implicated, but if you confess now, I may not affect the lives of your family. You think about it carefully, Yan Qi, continue to fight, unless someone among them says something true, even if they are beaten to death today, they must not stop being whipped. ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
When these words came out, the cheeks of the palace maids on the side completely lost the only trace of human color, all of them were pale and white, ghosts cried wolves howled, and they did not dare to accept the fate of this line of people who were about to die miserably, but no matter how they begged for mercy and how they complained, Yi Zhixing's face was always indifferent, what he wanted was the truth, he had never had compassion at all, as his true face gradually revealed from daily life bit by bit, so that at this moment Yi Zhixing could become ruthless in order to find out the real murderer, but everyone didn't know, This is only one-tenth of what the true face of the Son of Heaven has leaked.
Not only was the tortured person suffering physically, but Mo Xiru on the side was also immersed in the spiritual whipping of her by the sound of whipping and wailing, she couldn't look down on such a bloody scene, who knew that this bloody scene was inflicted on the people who got along with her day and night, so Mo Xiru's face was even more broken, and she couldn't bear half a point.
"Your Majesty! Let the concubine go first! The concubine really couldn't support it......"
Almost crying, at this time, Mo Xiru's face was no different from the miserable white of the prisoner on the side, and her eyes full of crystal light were staring at Yi Zhixing begging at this time, in a vain attempt to gain half of his mercy.
Yi Zhixing subconsciously thought that Mo Xiru would not be the behind-the-scenes manipulator of this murder, and when he completely realized that the person in front of him was defeated by this bloody situation, he was puzzled for a moment, and he didn't understand why Yan Qi left their master and servant behind, but because he was familiar with Yan Qi's temperament, Yi Zhixing immediately knew that he naturally had his concerns about doing this, so he also said: "In this way, Concubine Wen, you can leave first, you don't have to stay here." ”
The words fell, but seeing that Yan Qi on the side was talking and slurding, he didn't seem to be satisfied with the decision of the Son of Heaven, but when he wanted to block it, Mo Xiru quickly replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty...... Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
Concubine Wen, who was full of tears, hurriedly took Su Jin away after throwing a moving and grateful gaze to the Son of Heaven, I don't know if it was the Son of Heaven who had a delusion, he always felt that Mo Xiru seemed to be running away, Su Jin wanted to support her several times, but she was often much faster than Su Jin imagined, and Su Jin glared at Yan Qi fiercely when he was leaving, intending to blame him for refusing to let his master leave for a long time.
"What? Did you two have a holiday between them? ”
After the master and servant left here, Yi Zhixing asked inquiringly.
"Answer, Your Majesty, it's not a big deal, it's just that the subordinates have been refusing to let Concubine Wen leave, after all, Concubine Wen is the person who has arrived at the Jingyu Palace the most during this time."
Thinking and the back of Mo Xiru, who seemed to be fleeing in a hurry, the Son of Heaven immediately frowned, although he refused to be suspicious of Mo Xiru, but the cautious and suspicious temperament of the Son of Heaven himself still made him have to open this mouth.
"Concubine Wen? Yan Qi, apart from the current group of people, have you found anything on Concubine Wen? ”
As soon as he blurted out the words, Yi Zhixing suddenly felt that he seemed to be making a big fuss, but it was just a momentary situation, whether it was his own illusion or not, how could he start to doubt the gentle-tempered Mo Xiru so firmly? She can do evil, which seems to be a very small thing.
But Yan Qi seemed to be deliberately waiting for the Son of Heaven's question, but seeing that his eyes suddenly lit up, he immediately replied fluently in an extremely smooth and swift tone: "Answer, Your Majesty, although the subordinates have not yet found out anything from Concubine Wen's body, there is no doubt that Concubine Wen has visited the palace the most. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yan Qi suddenly approached the ear of the Son of Heaven, and then whispered: "The most important thing is that his subordinates have seen ......."
In the process of Yan Qi telling about Mo Xiru's various abnormalities, Yi Zhixing's face changed slightly, from a slight doubt to a slight frown, it was obvious that he also had the same degree of suspicion about Yan Qi's concerns.
"Really?"
"That's the case, the subordinates deliberately paid attention to Concubine Wen's strange appearance, according to the foolish opinion of the subordinates, even the most gentle person will not reveal such an extremely collapsed look when the guards search, this time, even Concubine Wen Niangniang can't escape the suspicion of murdering Lan Cai's daughter."
Looking at the people who refused to confess for a long time, and thinking about Mo Xiru's strange behavior, the heart of the Son of Heaven instantly gave birth to surging suspicion, he was the same as Yan Qi, even if he faced a kind face, they would not easily take off their suspicious eyes. Because isn't Yi Zhixing the wild wolf with a gentle face? If he is like this himself, how can he believe that others will have good qualities? For him, everything has the potential to have an unknown side.
"Yan Qi, immediately secretly investigate Concubine Wen's master and servant, remember, this matter must be done quietly and not be surprised by anyone."
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
