The witch doctor Ji did not die after falling from the carriage that day, he finally returned to the Zhao Mansion with a limp leg, but as soon as he entered the door, he was pulled by Bo Huan to cut his tongue before he saw Zhao Mengli. Later, after Zhao Mengli's murder of the prince was discovered, the witch doctor Ji was soon executed by Zhao Ying.

Witch Doctor Bridge's face changed greatly when he heard Witch Doctor Ji's name, he lowered his head and took a step back, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you Witch for mentioning!" Let's go and prepare the herbs now! ”

"There's the Witch Doctor Bridge." I bowed, and the Witch Doctor stood up and left the room.

On the bed, Beru's emaciated face turned pale, his eyes were round, and the dark shadows under his sockets became more and more gloomy.

Bolu's illness all started from the heart, and Zhao Mengli died like this, and the medicine these days seems to have been drunk in vain.

I gently wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with a silk handkerchief, and said softly, "I know you can hear it, and I know you are sad. But life and death are fateful, you can't blame you for this, and you can't take responsibility for everything. ”

Bruw turned his face to look at me in a daze, the corners of his mouth twitching twice.

"What do you want to say?" I leaned down and put my ears together, but he slowly closed his eyes and rolled over, hiding himself in the futon.

Those who are sexually wicked always find their own guilt in others; Those who are good always punish themselves with the guilt of others. Zhao Mengli is the former, but Zhao Bolu is the latter, those who lose in this battle for succession are bitter, and those who win are even more bitter.

I'm not a kind person, and after I found out that Zhao Mengli had colluded with the Zhi clan to murder Berlu, I felt that he deserved to die. Later, when I learned that Zhao Ying had just sent him to Pingyi to be a slaughterer, I complained for a long time. I don't understand Berlu's pain at the moment, and I can't pretend that I am also sad about Zhao Mengli's death, so I can't comfort him in the face of sadness.

The sunlight gradually moved from the east window to the west, and the twilight of late spring was still cool. I got up and closed the window, and when I saw that the fire in the corner was extinguished, I took some new coals and added them.

As soon as the door opened, Berlu's retainer Hao Li was kneeling by the door.

"Why is the gentleman kneeling here?"

"Today's things are also the responsibility of the Li."

"Sir, don't blame yourself too much, it is the duty of a gentleman to deliver the message to the prince in a timely manner. It's just that Dr. Zhao's news, where did Mr. got it? I helped him up and motioned for him to talk to me in the courtyard.

"Pingyi has sent an envoy, and the official letter has been sent to the prime minister. I was told by the person who sent the letter. ”

"Dr. Zhao's corpse ......"

It was discovered by a woodcutter who went into the mountains to chop wood, and when he saw that he was rich, he stole the jade jue on Dr. Zhao's body and the silk decorated on the carriage and sold them in the market. But how can there be a woodcutter in the world who sells jade, and he was arrested immediately. The people of Pingyi found the carriage in the ravine according to his account, but by the time they went, the corpse had already been gnawed away. ”

"That's the case...... "I'm afraid the dead Zhao Mengli will have to thank the money-hungry woodcutter, if it weren't for the woodcutter stealing his jade, he would probably be exposed to the wilderness and be a lonely ghost." Dr. Zhao's car fell down the ravine, what about the guards who went to Pingyi with him? I asked.

"The person who drove for the doctor fell to his death, and the remaining six ran away for fear of being condemned by the prime minister because of the disadvantage of the protector. Now I have caught two of them, and they have been sent to Xinjiang together. ”

"These two people have to be interrogated well, right......" I looked around, and when I saw that there was no one around, I whispered in my ear, "What is the reaction of the prime minister?" ”

"The four guards of the monster have already rushed to Pingyi with people to investigate." He replied in a low voice.

Zhao Ying sent Si Wei to Pingyi, which was suspicious of Zhao Mengli's death. I thought about it and said, "Zi Huang has a reluctant request, and I hope Mr. can agree." ”

"Sorcerer, please."

"The matter of the prime minister sending someone to Pingyi, please don't tell the prince for the time being, lest he think too much and hurt his body."

"I understand. In fact...... There's one more thing I haven't had time to tell the world here. ”

"What else does Mr. Zhao know about Dr. Zhao?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Dr. Zhao, it is the prince's cousin Wuxian who was assassinated in the mansion yesterday."

"What!" I was shocked, grabbed Hao Li's arm and asked urgently, "What's wrong with Zhao Wuxian, is it seriously injured?" Who hurt him? ”

"I've only heard that he was stabbed in the shoulder by an assassin, and the severity of his injuries is unknown."

"The witch doctor bridge will send the medicinal materials later, Mr. stay and take a handful, and I will be back soon!" My heart was in turmoil, and I hurriedly explained a few words to him, and then rushed to the residence of Wuxi.

As soon as he ran to the gate of the hospital, he happened to meet Zhao Ying walking out of the shirtless room with the two witch doctors in the house. I didn't want Zhao Ying to see me disheveled and out of breath, so I had to hide behind a tree.

On the steps in front of the house, Wushirt was wearing a dark blue robe and was talking to Zhao Ying, and his clear and upright appearance looked no different from usual. I leaned against the tree and let out a sigh of relief, and lowered my head to pull the belt hook back to its waist. It seems that it is Xu Li who said it seriously, how could someone stab him with such a skill, maybe he just scratched some flesh.

I had just run all the way in a hurry, my hair was crooked, my breath was uneven, and compared to the "wounded" Wuxian, I was really embarrassed now.

Zhao Ying stood at the door for a while and left, and I quickly rushed into the shirtless room with the crumbling crown of hair on my head.

"Why are you here?" Shirtless was visibly taken aback when he saw me.

"I'm here to deliver medicine to the son." As I walked into the house, I reached for the crooked crown on my head, "Shhh

"What's wrong?" Wuxian followed in a few steps.

"It's stuck in your hair." I reached out and found a tuft of hair caught in the turquoise on the crown of my hair, and I couldn't pull it off.

"Be careful not to rip your hair off!" Wuxian grabbed my hand and said softly, "Let go, I'll help you untie it." ”

I obediently lowered my hand, and Ren Wuxian straightened my messy hair.

"You don't have to run so fast if you want to come to see me, do you? After today, we can see it every day. He smiled and removed the turquoise crown of his hair, and his eyes crooked with a smug smile.

"I heard you're hurt, where are you? Let me see! ”

"Who said so much in your ear? I'm fine, it's just a little bit of skin, don't worry. He walked to the window and took out a comb grate from a black, gold-dusted box, "Sit here, and I'll help you comb your hair." ”

"Leave my hair alone and let me see your wounds." I walked up to him and reached for his collar.

"It's getting more and more presumptuous, and I have to lift the man's clothes during the day." He took my hand in the palm of his hand with a big bag, "The witch doctor just changed the medicine, you have to see that you have to re-tie it, how troublesome." You see, I'm really fine. He took my hand and tapped it twice on his left and right shoulders, his face was painless, and the corners of his mouth kept smiling.

I withdrew my hand in disbelief, and Wushirt took the opportunity to press my shoulder and let me sit down.

"Who hurt you?" I asked.

"It's a woman." Wuxian took a bronze mirror from the desk and handed it to me.

"Is that her?" I put the mirror on the floor, turned around and asked, "You know she's a fine worker, how can you be so careless?" ”

Wuxian looked at me but didn't reply, and I muttered in my heart, "You did it on purpose? ”

"I wish you could be a little dumber sometimes."

"Why are you doing this? Who is Rannu? ”

"She is the fourth brother's person, this woman has said several times that she wants to go to Qi Country with me, but I won't take her there, she was forced to do it in the house."

"She wants to kill you on the way to Qi and then run away?"

"Maybe."

"You told the prime minister?"

"The name of the fourth brother can't come out of my mouth. The woman had been locked up by order of her father, and it was up to the jailers to tell her the name of the fourth brother. Wuxian lifted my long hair hanging on the mat and put it on his lap, "Ah Shi, there are some dirty things I don't want you to know, you have to believe me, I won't be fine, and I won't let you have anything." ”

"Red Cloud ......"

"Don't say you want to help me, I don't want you to plan for me, I'm serious." Shirtless lowered his head and rubbed the back of my hand, his deep voice mixed with a hint of an almost inaudible sigh, "My hands are already dirty, don't stain yours anymore." ”

"Where are my hands still clean?" I grabbed his fingers with my backhand and whispered, "I'll ask you a question, and if you don't want to say it, you can leave it unanswered." ”

"Just ask."

"Did you kill Zhao Mengli?" I looked up at him and hesitated for a long time, finally asking the question that had been haunting my mind for a long time.

Wuxian nodded slightly, his face was indifferent and calm, and there was no trace of dodging in his dark jade-like eyes.

I thought he would refuse, hide, hesitate, but I didn't expect him to answer so directly.

"Why don't you deny it? I don't actually have any evidence at all. ”

"I really don't want you to know, but if you ask, I can't hide it from you." The thick palms of the shirtless were scorching warm, and I held them, and I couldn't believe that they were turning clouds and rain in the dark. When I was in Jinyang City, I saw the secret letter on the harrier's eagle's feet - "Medicine falls, death". At that time, I only guessed that he secretly killed someone, but I didn't know who he killed? Why did you kill? But today, when Li said that Zhao Mengli fell down the ravine in a carriage, I immediately thought of the secret letter.

"You sent someone to drug his horse? Just like when he fed poison mushrooms to Berlu's horses? I asked.

"Yin Duo told you about the poisonous mushroom?"

"Hmm. Hongyun'er, why did you kill him? Is it to avenge Burru? ”

"No, Ah Shi, don't think so well of me. Back then, I did a lot of unspeakable things to keep the throne of the son of the world for my brother. Now, since I want to fight for that position, I naturally won't be merciful. Pingyi is in the north of Jin, although the city is small, but the water is close to the mountain and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and further north is the country rich in good horses. Qing's father has been intending to expand his land to the north over the years, and Pingyi can be said to be the best stronghold. The eldest brother killed the son, but he also got a good place to fight the horses, and it was a scourge for me to keep him after all. ”

"But what if the prime minister finds out that you killed Zhao Mengli?"
