Chapter 67: Assassination Again???
"How to call it, it's just a code name, the prince is as good as he wants." Shangguan Jinglin naturally wouldn't really praise her. These few words, on the surface, are flattering, but in fact, they are heart-wrenching.
Even if you are in command of the three armies, what if you are in power? It's not the same, become a victim of Lihuang, and give up when you say you give up. "The prince doesn't have to bother to be tempted. If Xi is a citizen of Liguo, the will of my emperor is my heart. Ruoxi's words changed sharply, leading the topic to Nancang, "What is Leng Guyin's identity, the prince knows it." Nancang took great pains to give up the city in his hands, and also asked me to kiss Nancang, I'm afraid it's not just to fulfill me and him, right? However, Guibang overestimated Ruoxi's status among the soldiers of Liguo, and also underestimated Ruoxi's fierceness. ”
Both of them are the smartest people, you come and go, and they fight with each other. One said that Ruoxi and his relatives must have a plan, and the other said that Nancang tried to use Ruoxi to coerce the Li Army. In a word, none of them told the truth.
"General, this king has always believed that war has always been a struggle between careerists and politicians, and it has nothing to do with the people, I don't know what the general thinks?" Jing Lin walked to the door, and suddenly came out with such a sentence, and before Ruoxi could answer, he said, "This king will leave first." ”
Shangguan Jinglin's move was really strange.
Ruoxi reasoned out his thoughts, "The disappearance of the people of Liguo, the things planned by Leng Tian and the emperor, and the attitude of the king of Nanyang, there may be some kind of connection between these things." This King of Nanyang must be in the know, but he doesn't agree. ”
And this matter is likely to involve all the people in the world. Ruoxi felt a cold sweat behind her back, if this was the case, then she would have to speed up her movements, once Nancang succeeded, then Liguo would be in danger.
"Miss, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on King Nanyang, maybe you can find clues along the vine."
"No, you don't." Ruoxi vetoed Lu Wan's proposal, "The King of Nanyang is unfathomable, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will not be us who will follow him to find the clues, but he will in turn find out that we have other plans." ”
I met left and right only three times, and my intuition told Ruoxi that this person was very dangerous.
It's better for them to go deep into the tiger's mouth now, or not to look for trouble. Compared to the king of Nanyang, it is still safer to be cold and lonely.
Leng Guyin didn't expect that since Ruoxi was injured, Ruoxi had eaten at the same table with him for several days. One day, two days, three days, and the seventh day, Leng Guyin finally couldn't stand it, "What the hell do you want to do!" ”
Since the great marriage, they have been drinking from the well, and each of them has eaten and slept with his own water. Ruoxi's sudden change really made him uncomfortable.
"I don't understand what Master Hou said." Ruoxi had an expression that it was natural for husband and wife to eat together, "Master Hou tasted this, it was good." ”
"You!" Leng Guyin was angry for a while, so he simply threw away his chopsticks and left with his sleeves.
"Master Hou." Han Bing glanced at Ruoxi and hurriedly followed.
"What did you find?" Ruoxi looked at the backs of the two of them who disappeared from sight and asked. Whether it is cold ice or cold weather, the vigilance is too high, and to find out the secrets of Leng Guyin as soon as possible, Ruoxi can only go out in person.
"Even though he covered it up with sandalwood, he could still smell the herbs on him."
Ruoxi was relieved and ordered, "You go and tell Jing Jiu......"
Coincidentally, after lunch, someone from the palace came to spread the word, saying that he was inviting Mrs. Hou into the palace for a party.
"Miss?" Ever since she entered the palace, Lu Wan noticed that something seemed wrong with Ruoxi. Although Ruoxi repeatedly covered it up, and the tone of his voice was as smooth as before, the body's instinctive reaction could not deceive people. The beads of sweat on his forehead kept rolling down, his arms under the table shook uncontrollably, and his hands clenched into fists, as if he was enduring pain. Could it be that these foods are poisonous?
"It's Cold Moon."
Lu Wan felt her heart stagnate. When he left Kyoto, Leng Rui secretly looked for her and told her the truth about Ruoxi's body. She has seen Ruoxi's almost perverted endurance, no matter how many injuries she has, her face will always be calm and breezy. It's the first time I've seen her lose her temper like this, crushing the cup in her hand.
"The poison of the cold moon is too domineering, it can kill her to death." It wasn't until she saw it with her own eyes today that Lu Wan believed that Leng Rui's words were true.
Forced to walk out of the palace gate, Ruoxi couldn't hold it anymore, and the blood poured out one after another, as if he was willing to spit out all the blood in his body.
"Miss? Miss! Checkmate! Rao is a doctor like Lu Wan, who is accustomed to seeing life and death, and his heart trembled when he looked at the blood in this place. She wanted to use the silver needle to temporarily seal Ruoxi's pain and relieve her pain, but Ruoxi held on to the last trace of consciousness and stopped Lu Wan's movements.
Pain, overwhelming pain.
The black fog in front of him came and went, and the pain that could be torn made the body's self-protection lethargy a luxury.
"Ling Ruoxi, promise me that you will devote your life to protecting the people of Liguo." It's the mother, it's the mother's voice.
Guarding the country, guarding the people, if Xi remembers, Ruoxi will do it.
The pain had made Ruoxi unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and subconsciously muttered to himself, responding to Ling Yunsi's words.
Bang! The door was pushed open.
"Ice? You are presumptuous! You dare to trespass in the county lord's bedroom! ”
The cold ice that broke in and the green Wan who saw the cold ice at first glance were both stunned.
When Han Bing had just returned home with Leng Guyin, he was intercepted by a group of men in black. During the battle, Han Bing couldn't help but think of Ling Ruoxi's abnormality in the past few days, as well as the meaningful eyes that looked at him during the day. Worried that Ruoxi would find out the strangeness of those medicines, he hurriedly hurried back to the house with cold and lonely steps. After looking around, I didn't see their master and servant in my room, so I was in a hurry, so I broke in directly.
Unexpectedly, I saw such a tragic scene.
The blood all over the ground made him nowhere to stay. The person lying on the side of the bed, still vomiting blood, looked at him with a look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but retreat. But the gaze nailed him to the ground again, and he couldn't move for half a minute.
"Ice, don't retreat." Leng Guyin's voice came from behind him, and it sounded like he was coming back in a hurry, and he was still a little panting.
"What's wrong?" Maybe even Leng Guyin didn't notice it, and worry flashed in his eyes.
After enduring the most violent wave of pain, Ruoxi borrowed Lu Wan's strength and half leaned on the head of the bed. No matter how weak he is, his mouth is also an unspeakable momentum, "Get out of here and get fifty whips." ”
This was said to Han Bing, not to mention anything else, just the trespassing on Mrs. Hou's bedroom was enough to kill him.
"Isn't it clear to Master Hou?" Ruoxi looked up at Leng Guyin, "If it weren't for Leng Yue's trouble, Master Hou really thought that just by getting drunk with a snap of his fingers, he could abolish my martial arts?" ”
This is the first time Ruoxi has raised this question head-on, and Juju's gaze suddenly made Leng Guyin feel very distracted, threw down the sentence "Have a good rest", and left as if he was running away.
"I advise Master Hou to restrain his subordinates, so that they don't know how to die in the future. I have no martial arts, but it doesn't mean that I have lost my temper. The temper of the lord of this county has always been bad. ”
He just stepped out of the door, and then strode away.
Whew~ It wasn't until the room was quiet that Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. The effect of Cold Moon's medicine can last for a day and a night, but now this level is already within Ruoxi's tolerance range, and it will not affect her actions.
"Miss." Lu Wan followed behind Ruoxi, looked at Ruoxi who was walking as usual, and hesitated: "Leng Yue is harmless, but with the addition of a snap of his fingers to get drunk, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's ......" The latter words, Lu Wan couldn't bear to say it, but Ruoxi knew it very well, it just didn't matter.
From the moment she knew all the truth, it was enough to live just to fulfill her promise to her mother, and it was enough to be able to survive until now, and as for the future, it didn't matter.
"Jing Jiu, how's it going?"
The secret room below the Tianshui Pavilion.
"Everything was arranged. The Lord is reassured, it is seamless, and it is impossible to find their heads in the cold. ”
Tonight, Ruoxi did arrange someone from Fengqi Pavilion just in case.
The queen mother's decree to enter the palace together made her temporarily change her mind.
"Come, county lord, please."
"Princess, please." Ruoxi was dealing with these princesses and ladies, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of an old eunuch with her head down to report something to the Queen Mother. Looking at the appearance of the old eunuch, he is not young, but there is wind under his feet, and he does not stumble, he must have internal strength. Looking further down, the soles of the shoes were stained with a lot of mud, and there were some crushed fallen flowers.
This flower is special, and Changping is not suitable for its growth, so Ruoxi was impressed. In the whole of Changping, there is only one place. It seems that the old eunuch has just returned from outside the palace.
Ruoxi had a plan in her heart, and immediately instructed Lu Wan to inform Jing Jiu to change her plan.
Jing Jiu used a little trick to lure the Queen Mother's people and Leng Guyin's people together, and there was a dog-eat-dog.
And before Leng Guyin and Han Bing returned home, Lu Wan had already obtained the residue of those medicinal materials.
Caution in the cold will not leave such obvious clues. So the medicine itself, there is no problem, it is indeed used to treat headaches. The real problem is what Han Bing added to the soup when he decocted the medicine every day - the black pill.
The pill Han Bing has always carried with him, and it is easy to startle the snake with a rash move. So Lu Wan decided to give this dregs a try first, maybe she could find something.
Add another bowl of water to the dregs. The smell of Chinese medicine quickly rose in the secret room.
After boiling it once, the smell of the medicine has gone down most of it. To identify medicinal materials through this, the difficulty is self-evident.
"I can only be sure of these ingredients, and I have to think about the rest. When I go back to check Bai Lao's ancient books, there may be some clues. Ruoxi had mentioned Chu Haochu's amnesia to Bai Yitian before, so when he was leaving, Bai Yitian gave Lu Wan this classic that brought together the painstaking efforts of several generations of his master to record all kinds of strange recipes, hoping to help retrieve Chu Haochu's memory.
"There's no urgency. Su Ye Jingjiu, you first go and find out where the person who assassinated me tonight came from. A queen mother who ignores political affairs and lives in the harem also has such a lethal power in her hands. "It's getting more and more interesting.
Qiyun Palace.
"What did you say?"
"Queen Mother, the people we sent, for some reason, actually fought with the Marquis of Dongping, and none of them were left alive, and they were all killed."
The Queen Mother staggered. How did you meet the Marquis of Dongping? The father and son of the Marquis of Dongping have won the trust of the emperor, and if they are allowed to discover their power, they will be in trouble. But in an instant, countless methods flashed through the Queen Mother's mind.
"Jin Zhong, you go to Feng Zizhen immediately and ask him to deal with this matter."
"It's a minion, let's go."
The Queen Mother was busy cleaning up her tail, and Leng Guyin also launched an investigation. Ling Ruoxi entered the palace tonight, and the road they were attacked on was the only way for Ling Ruoxi to return to the palace, and this group of people was momentarily surprised and stunned when they saw them, proving that they were not their original goal. Therefore, it is very likely that the target of this group of people is Ling Ruoxi, not him.
"Ice!" Lone Yin shouted outside the door, but he didn't hear any movement, and after looking around, he didn't see anyone.
"Master Hou, the Han guard has just left the mansion."
Leng Guyin's expression gradually tightened, and his pupils revealed a dangerous aura.
