It was night (the second day of the third month).

Ugly for three moments.

When Concubine Yin heard that Taizong had ordered Li Ji to send troops to fight for Qi, she made up her mind.

It was the secret envoy doctor Liu Shao'er, who privately used the poisonous water entered by Yin Hongzhi into the Yanjia Palace.

The Yanjia Hall was filled with Xu Hui because of the recent hardships of Taizong, and made soup with his own hands. The Yin clan had already heard about it, and it was expected that Taizong believed in Xu Huizhisi, and no longer doubted it, so he poisoned Shao'er into this thing.

On weekdays, the Yanjia Hall is very secure. However, due to changes today, Jin Wuwei was transferred, and Xu Hui and Wu Meiniang didn't notice that there was such a thing in the middle of the night, which caused Shao'er to succeed.

After the report was completed, Concubine De cried privately to Liu Shao'er:

"Your Majesty treats this palace so much, but this palace will live up to it after all......

I just want to take this opportunity to keep my child safe, so I don't want anything more. The palace is owed to Your Majesty, and you should go with Your Majesty......

As for that Xu Hui, since she is the detective of the eldest grandson's thief, she will be dragged along with her if she dies......"

After that, he handed over a letter of blood to Liu Shao'er, ordering him to ask Taizong to read it before his death, and then calmly committed suicide.

It's a pity that the sky is not as good as the people.

Xu Hui suddenly, because of the secret letter from outside the palace, the Taoist chief Sun Wuji asked to see him, but he was not allowed to enter the Taiji Hall in person.

The talented Wu Meiniang was worried about seeing her, so she volunteered to send soup into the Taiji Palace.

As soon as Mei Niang entered, she saw that Taizong was worried about the affairs of the King of Qi, and even summoned Li Tai, the king of Wei, to discuss with her attendants.

Seeing this, Mei Niang softly persuaded her, Taizong smelled that the soup was entered by Xu Hui, and Long Yan wanted to drink it as soon as he was relieved.

Fang wanted to eat, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, reminded him that he had not tested the poison and entered it properly, so Mei Niang took Wang De to try the silver needle.

As a result, as soon as the silver needle fell, the tip of the needle immediately turned black, and it was obviously poisonous.

Taizong then glared at Mei Niang.

Mei Niang was shocked and begged for help, but Li Tai, the king of Wei, designated Mei Niang as having something to do, and said that Xu Hui was also suspicious.

Taizong was silent.

Seeing Taizong like this, Mei Niang thought that Taizong didn't believe that she and Xu Hui had the intention of the two, and her heart was cold, so she grabbed her hand and drank the soup soup to prove her innocence.

Taizong Li Tai was shocked when he saw this, Taizong hurriedly stepped forward and pinched Mei Niang's throat with his hand to make most of it vomit, and Li Tai hurriedly ordered the doctor.

The Russian doctor used medicine to solve it, and most of the toxicity in Mei Niang's body was gone.

However, although he was not lethal, he was unconscious, and the poisoning incident was established and was not examined in detail, so Taizong ordered him to be strictly guarded in the Yeting Prison, and only waited for him to wake up before he was reviewed.

For a moment, the palace shook.

Li Zhi, the king of Jin, had gone to bed, and when he heard that he was close to the servant De'an, he was frightened and crazy.

Fortunately, De'an persuaded him to wake up, and rushed to the Daji Palace, wanting to obtain the handwritten book of the Yin Concubine in Liu Shao'er's hand.

However, it is a pity that Liu Shao'er was also inexplicably poisoned and died, and I don't know who did it.

Although Li Zhi got the handwriting of Concubine Yin and was eager to save Mei Niang from prison, he knew that there was no one in hand, and it was difficult for Taizong to acquit Mei Niang.

I have to endure it for the time being, and I have to protect Mei Niang's safety and be hurt again. He also quietly invited Sun Simiao to enter the court, treat Mei Niang, and prepare an antidote to prevent Mei Niang from suffering from poisoning again.

When the prince heard about this, it was quite strange, so he said that the king of Qi would not succeed but would be far away from Kyoto. If he is the case, the East Palace is so close to the Main Palace, what can be done.

When Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, heard this, he instigated the prince to succeed. The prince categorically refused to allow it, but Yuanchang Junji and others instigated a lot, and even more influenced by the matter of King Wei, and the prince moved.

On the third day of the third month of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan.

Tai Chi Palace.

In front of Hui Zhengmen.

When Sun Wuji, the chief of the court, held Yugui and stood quietly behind the stone beast guarding the door, in a corner that outsiders could not see.

Not long after, Xu Hui, who was dressed in an apricot yellow spring dress, brought Wen Niang and came in a hurry: "Lord Eldest Sun." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji gave a slight salute, and then said apologetically: "At such a moment, but invite the mother to take the risk to come, is it the old minister's." But there are some things, for the sake of the mother's safety, the old minister must ask in person. ”

"My lord, excuse me." Xu Hui's face was haggard.

"Last night's incident, is the mother suspicious?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked.

Xu Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although I know that it was done by Concubine Yin...... But now she has committed suicide by taking poison, and even the maids around her have committed suicide, but she can no longer testify. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, and asked again: "Do you know if this matter is related to the other palaces?" ”

Xu Hui shook his head again: "Your Majesty only says that the death of Concubine Yin is because of the guilt of King Qi's rebellion and uneasiness in his heart before he committed suicide...... But he refused to be involved with Mei Niang's affairs. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, and then asked again: "Then the prince of Jin, what can you do?" ”

Xu Hui's heart jumped, but his complexion did not change at all, he just shook his head in distress: "If the prince is there, what can he do...... I'm afraid that Mei Niang will have to escape at this moment. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he lowered his eyelids slightly, nodded again, and comforted:

"Xu Chongrong doesn't need to worry, presumably in the near future, the grievances of martial artists will be snowed."

When Xu Hui heard this, his eyes were red, and he almost shed tears:

"What if it's a grievance? Mei Niang doesn't know if she can live this day! ”

The eldest grandson was silent, just silent.

……

A moment later.

Xu Hui watched the eldest grandson Wuji walk away, put away Chu Chu's pitiful expression, and replaced it with an indifferent look.

Seeing this, Wen Niang said, "Niangniang, why don't you tell Lord Changsun that Sister Wu is already sober?" ”

"If he knows that Mei Niang is awake, he is afraid that it will not be good for Mei Niang." Xu Hui said lightly, and then took Wen Niang back in a hurry: "What is the movement in the Taiji Palace?" ”

Wen Niang followed in small steps and said softly: "Your Majesty has never doubted Niangniang...... It doesn't even seem that she really believes that Sister Wu is the mastermind. It's just that Your Majesty's mind is unpredictable......"

Xu Hui sighed, his expression complicated: "He suspects Mei Niang or not, it doesn't matter now, what matters is how the ministers think of this matter......

By the way, what news does the prince have? ”

Wen Niang knew that what she was asking was a childish slave, so she shook her head and said, "There is no other way than to try to find a witness." ”

Xu Hui was even more worried when he heard this, so he said: "Think of a way, make arrangements, I will go to see Mei Niang at night." ”

"Okay."

As soon as Xu Hui turned to the courtyard of the Baifu Palace, he saw the young slave who was guarding there from a distance, waiting early.

"Lord Wang? Why are you here? ”

Xu Hui was surprised.

The young slave hurriedly rushed up, first led Xu Hui to the side of the secret place, and then looked at De'an left and right, and then asked: "I heard that Ryan said that my uncle wants to see Sister Xu, so I will come and see how it is." ”

Xu Hui nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Sun, no sect leader Sun can see anything." ”

The young slave sighed and said, "That's fine, otherwise it wouldn't be good if even my uncle got involved—but he wouldn't have much time to worry about these things." Now the matter of the fifth brother alone is enough for him to be annoyed. And again......"

The slave was silent.

Seeing this, Xu Hui gritted his teeth and said, "And Lord Wei, right?" I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with him, right? ”

The slave just sighed: "I'm not sure it's him yet." ”

Xu Hui was silent for a long time before he said: "Lord Wang, Xu Hui is humble and stupid and ignorant. But there is one point, I hope the prince can write it down. If Mei Niang's poisoning was indeed done by King Wei. That prince, even you and Your Majesty can tolerate him, and Xu Hui can't tolerate him! ”

The young slave looked at her for a long time before saying, "If it's him, I won't let him do it without you doing it." ”

Xu Hui nodded and left on his own.

Looking at the backs of Xu Hui and Wen Niang traveling away, De'an said: "Lord Wang, why don't you tell Sister Xu that Lord Wei knew early on that soup was poisoned by the Yin family, but he didn't intend to harm Sister Wu, he just wanted to take the opportunity to bring down the second concubine of Yin Yang?" ”

The young slave said coldly: "He knew, but he didn't tell it, and Sister Wu took poison to prove her innocence, and caused Sister Wu to be imprisoned again......

What's the difference between this and harming her with your own hands? ”

There was a slight coldness in his gaze.

……

It's night.

Xu Hui finally met Mei Niang in Yeting Prison.

"Mei Niang."

As soon as she entered, Xu Hui excitedly whispered, and Mei Niang, who was lying on the bed and only pretending to be unconscious, heard her voice, so she struggled to get up and said, "Hui'er......"

When the two sisters met, they cried bitterly.

……

After a long time, Xu Hui drank the ** soup and Mei Niang that she had secretly brought, took a towel and wiped the corners of her mouth for her, and pulled the futon wrapped around her tightly before she said with tears:

"Why are you so stupid! So a bowl of **, you ......"

Mei Niang smiled faintly: "Of course I won't be so stupid." ”

Xu Hui was stunned for a while, and then said in a trembling voice: "You...... Is it intentional? ”

Mei Niang hung her head and was silent, and said after a long time: "The silver needle tried to be the top of the crane, if I don't take poison with my body and prove my innocence, when there are so many things, I am afraid that Your Majesty will suspect you."

Furthermore, because of my weak body these days, the young slave has been giving me his medicinal milk (see above, that is, herbs for cows to eat, so that the milk can have medicinal powers), and you know this...... Brother Sun said that those who are red on the top of the crane will die, but if you first take cow's milk to protect your spleen and stomach, and then rush to induce vomiting, it will be toxic, but it will not kill people.

Don't worry, I had already thought about it at that time, Your Majesty would definitely not teach me to die, no matter what. King Wei won't, and before I went, I had just taken the medicinal milk, so I wouldn't ...... again."

"Smack!" A loud slap was slammed into Mei Niang's face.

Mei Niang covered her face and looked at Xu Hui who was flushed in astonishment.

After a while, Xu Huicai said in a trembling voice: "You...... It can be seen that this ...... What did this slap hit? ”

Mei Niang was surprised and shook her head stupidly.

Xu Hui burst into tears, gritted his teeth and said, "I'...... I beat you so that you remember...... You still have me...... And me...... Your Majesty doesn't believe you...... It's your mother's sister...... Mother sister doesn't care about you anymore......

You still have me......

You can't...... You can't belittle your life so much......

You've got to give me a good life! For me! For the sake of King Jin, live well!

Did you hear that?

Wu Meiniang! ”

Xu Hui collapsed and cried and threw herself into Mei Niang's arms.

Mei Niang felt ashamed, hugged her, and cried again.

……

After another cry and comfort, the two sisters gradually regained their composure.

Mei Niang said with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry...... Hui'er, but it makes you sad......"

Xu Hui shook his head and choked up, "I know...... I know that the saddest person this time is you...... It's just Mei Niang, you must not do such a stupid thing...... Don't ...... Promise me. Don't do anything stupid like that again......"

"Rest assured...... There will be no next time. Mei Niang's tears slowly turned cold and flowed down her cheeks:

"Not anymore."

- yes, not anymore.

Because in this palace, except for Hui'er and the childish slaves, there is no one else who is worth her so desperate......

Unconsciously, the heroic figure that has been in my heart since I was a child slowly faded, slowly faded.

After all, it fades to the point that it is almost invisible.

……

When Xu Hui saw her like this, he knew that she was disheartened by Taizong. I couldn't bear to make her sad anymore, so I hurriedly wiped my tears, and then asked, "What should I do next?" ”

Mei Niang knew that she didn't want to say anything more, which made her think of those sad things again, so she also wiped her tears, thought about it, and then asked, "What can I say to you in the past two days?" ”

Xu Hui thought for a while, but shook his head: "I just talked about the death of the Yin family's master and servant, and the matter of obtaining the Yin family's handwritten book from Liu Shao'er." ”

Mei Niang's mind was racing, so she asked, "Is there anything else besides?" ”

Xu Hui shook his head.

Mei Niang nodded, thought for a long time, and then said, "Hui'er, promise me one thing." ”

Xu Hui said: "You say." ”

"From this day forward, thou shalt not see a slave again, nor associate with him any more. And let me tell him no more. Got it? ”

"Why?" Xu Hui was shocked.

Mei Niang glanced at Wen Niang Ruian who was standing on the side. The two of them understood, and went out to keep watch.

Mei Niang struggled to get up, and Xu Hui hurriedly helped her.

Walking to the prison, you can see the movement outside the prison, Mei Niang whispered:

"King Qi has rebelled, Hui'er, guess who will be the next to rebel?"

Xu Hui was shocked.
