Chapter 222: Concubine Zhen's last resort

Murong Xi saw that Concubine Zhen couldn't help but shed tears again, so he handed a handkerchief to Concubine Zhen, and then said softly: "Concubine Zhen, you speak slowly." ”

"Alas, I remember telling you that Your Majesty has only been to the Jade Pavilion of the main palace once. And that time, after His Majesty saw me, he left the Jade Treasure Pavilion without staying overnight. I was disappointed, but I was happy. Because I was forced to enter the palace in the first place, they arrested my family to coerce me into the palace to poison His Majesty. At that time, I had poisoned the wine, but His Majesty left without drinking it. The first time I saw His Majesty, I fell in love with him. Naturally, I was reluctant to poison him, just as I was rejoicing......" Concubine Zhen briefly recounted what happened next.

Only then did Murong Xi understand why Concubine Zhen wanted to torture herself.

Because, although Concubine Zhen was poisoned in the wine, the emperor did not drink it. But the father came into contact with Concubine Zhen, and what Concubine Zhen didn't know was that these people poisoned Concubine Zhen's body. As long as the father comes into contact with Concubine Zhen, he will be poisoned. And on that day, the father did touch Concubine Zhen's face. This poison is the vine butterfly incense. And the person who was arrested by Feng Ming on the night of the day was just the man in black who arranged to enter the palace to find Concubine Zhen. The man in black can't tell Concubine Zhen, so he can only admit that the person who poisoned him is himself.

Just when Concubine Zhen was secretly happy, those people found her. And told her that she had succeeded, Concubine Zhen was naturally at a loss. The man in black also explained to her that it was not poison in the wine, but the real poison had already fallen on Concubine Zhen's body. Concubine Zhen was dumbfounded at that time, and the man in black threatened her that she would need her cooperation in the future. The man in black saw that Concubine Zhen was unwilling, so he threatened her family.

Later, Concubine Zhen wanted to die, but she was also discovered by the man in black, and told her that if she died, then her family would follow her to Huangquan.

Concubine Zhen didn't seek death again, because she knew that His Majesty might not come to Yuzhen Pavilion again. Later, the man in black asked her to find a way to seduce her father, and as a result, someone poisoned her at this time. Although Concubine Zhen knew that someone had poisoned her, she didn't say anything. And over time, Concubine Zhen looks like a sick seedling. The man in black looked at Concubine Zhen's appearance and didn't say anything.

Just threw down a sentence to tell her to recover quickly, so that she could find another chance to test the situation of His Majesty's poisoning.

Their purpose is very clear, and they are afraid that Your Majesty will not be truly poisoned, so let her get closer to Your Majesty. And Concubine Zhen knew that as long as she got close to His Majesty, then the poison on His Majesty's body would speed up. So, she kept getting sick.

And Murong Xi's arrival made the poison on her body get better day by day. However, she was a little afraid, afraid that after she got better, those people would come to persecute her again. Who knows, someone can't help but still poison her. She found out when she drank the medicine, but she didn't plan to break it. suppressed the bitterness in my heart until now.

After Murong Xi heard the whole thing, he sighed. Concubine Zhen was indeed very helpless, and she was punished.

She asked softly, "Concubine Zhenniang, do you know who the person who threatens you is?" ”

Concubine Zhen shook her head, and then said, "I really don't know the person behind the scenes. Because, every time I come into contact with him, it is his subordinates. And the only thing I remember is that they all had a flaming mark on their wrists. It looks like a tattoo, but it's fiery red. And every time someone comes, they will bring something close to their family. ”

"Well, I've made a note of it, I'll definitely look into it." Murong Xi replied.

"Back then, my father was an official in the court, but he never thought of using me to enter the palace to seek benefits for him. I remember that during the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, my father took me, my mother and my younger brother to the night market to see the lanterns. In the blink of an eye, my brother was nowhere to be found. My father and my mother were frightened at that time, and asked my subordinates to take me back to the house first, and then summoned my subordinates and my father to look for my younger brother. I searched all night, but I couldn't find my brother's whereabouts. Who knew that when my father returned home, he actually saw his younger brother unscathed at the gate of the house. After bringing his brother home, his mother checked his brother for injuries, but saw a letter in his clothes. The letter told the father that it would be easy for them to take their brother away. This time, the younger brother was returned intact, and next time I dare not guarantee that he will be missing arms and legs. Their purpose was for my father to send me to the palace. At first, my father thought it was a prank, but he didn't pay attention to it. In addition, my father didn't want me to enter the palace to suffer, so he strengthened his guard in the palace. For a while, the house was safe and sound, and this matter was forgotten by us. However, one day, in the yard of the younger brother, the younger brother was found lying on the ground covered in blood, and the mother panicked, thinking that the younger brother was dead. I invited a doctor to come for treatment, and found that all the swords on my body were on it, but fortunately there were no injuries. The mother found a letter in the brother's house and handed it to the father. Of course, I didn't know the contents of the letter at the time, but I thought my father's expression was very solemn after reading the letter. Later, my father met me in the study and gave me both letters for me to read for myself. The content of the second letter was very polite, telling my father to warn him that the sword wound on his brother's body had already been measured, so it was just bleeding. However, next time they really can't guarantee that it will be so light. I also asked my father to think twice and get me to the palace, otherwise, the next time I might kill the whole family. I knew that my father really didn't have an idea, so he would let me make my own decisions. Of course, I wouldn't let anything happen to my family, so I agreed to enter the palace. Unexpectedly, the day before entering the palace, a man in black gave me poison, and when he saw that I wanted to ask, he told me that this medicine could not kill people, and that I should not ask anything. I only need to be obedient, and I am not allowed to tell my father, otherwise I will be killed, and then the whole family will bury me. I've just told you everything after that. Because every time they see me, they look like you now, so I misunderstand that you are one of those men in black. "Before Concubine Zhen entered the palace, she said how those people threatened them. She didn't even see the appearance of those people, and every time they met, they were dressed in black and their faces were veiled. Therefore, Murong Xi was not surprised when she came in. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those words.

"It's disgusting, it's like this. You don't have to be afraid that after approaching your father, your father's poison will speed up. Because after you have been poisoned, the poison that caused the deterioration of your father's body has lost its effect. That's something they don't know, so don't worry about it anymore. Moreover, I suspect that the person who threatens you is a person from Nanzhao Kingdom, because the Father Emperor is a mandarin incense, that is, the secret medicine of Nanzhao Kingdom. You can rest assured about this matter, I will find a way to find out who is trying to murder my father. However, Concubine Zhen, the poison on your body must be resolved. If you continue like this, you may not even be able to make it through this year. Murong Xi said slowly.

"Xi'er, if you can really find out these people and catch them, I don't have to worry about it. It doesn't matter what poison I have. Concubine Zhen said softly.

"No, it has to be solved. Aren't you afraid that after you die, those people will be angry with your family? Will you believe in the promises made to you by those people? If that's the case, then I don't have to investigate. Anyway, now that my father's poison has been resolved, if Concubine Jing and Concubine Lan were really sent by those people, I will let people keep an eye on them. As for your family, you don't care about it yourself, why should I take care of them. Murong Xi was angry that Concubine Zhen didn't cherish her life, and said this deliberately.

"Xi'er, you said that the poison on your father's body has been cured?" Concubine Zhen's voice became softer, but there was surprise in her tone.

"Yes, I don't have to lie to you, do I? Besides, I sneaked into the palace at the risk of being discovered. I didn't expect to hear the words of you and Caiyi as soon as I entered the palace. So, I know you're innocent. I promise you that if you plan to leave the palace in the future, I will also help you. But don't give up on yourself like that. Murong Xi said slowly.

After thinking for a while, Concubine Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Murong Xi, "Okay, I promise you." I'll live well, and I'll be sure to watch you find those people. ”

"That's right, give, these five are antidote pills, one a day, and the poison on the body will be solved after five days. You don't have to drink your medicine, but you don't have to let people continue to boil it for you, so that you will deceive the person who poisoned you. There are also these powdered yellow packets for your self-defense, and the white ones for tracking. If that man sends the man in black again, you will quietly sprinkle it on him. I'll have a way to track them then, don't worry. Murong Xi said slowly.

Concubine Zhen looked at Murong Xi gratefully and nodded. Suddenly thinking of something, he asked, "Since Xi'er is back, why don't you go back to the palace?" Don't you know that your father is very worried about you? ”

Murong Xi smiled and said, "I also know that you are also worried about me. Don't worry, my father already knows that I am safe and sound, but at this time, it is inconvenient for me to return to the palace. Also, don't tell them about tonight. These things are inconvenient to tell you, and you will know later. By the way, you have to be careful of Concubine Shu and Murong Ya. I'm gone, take care. After Murong Xi finished speaking, he left the house.

Concubine Zhen muttered to herself, "Don't worry, I will rot in my stomach today." Concubine Shu is the one who poisoned me, how could I not guard against it? She just hasn't figured out why Murong Ya is so hostile to her.

Feng Mingye saw Murong Xi come out, so he asked softly, "Is the matter done?" ”

"Well, let's talk about this matter later, I'll go to the Cloud Hall first." Murong Xi nodded and replied.

"Okay." Feng Mingye took Murong Xi in the direction of the Cloud Middle Hall.

Soon, Peony, who was guarding the Cloud Middle Hall, discovered Murong Xi's figure, and said respectfully, "Master, why are you here?" ”

"I don't worry about Yan'er, come and see her. Is the temple in the clouds good? Murong Xi asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, master, Concubine Shu has come a few more times in recent days. Most of her was trying to find out how the princess left the palace, and when she couldn't ask anything, she gave up. His Majesty had come a few times, but he had only watched the princess from afar and left. Presumably because I felt guilty for reprimanding the princess before. Peony replied.

"Okay, then I'll go in and have a look, and you can go back and rest first." Murong Xi entered the dormitory alone, and Feng Mingye stood guard at the door.

Murong Xi tiptoed into the dormitory, and Murong Yan had already fallen asleep. After she sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on Murong Yan, she was relieved to sit next to Murong Yan.
