Chapter 1: The Murder is Now
"Ah............h
Bai Jiuke couldn't help but scream, everything in the dream is so real.
Bai Jiuke gasped and patted his chest, trying to calm himself down.
"Bai Jiuke, what are you doing? It's all a dream, it's not real, calm, calm. β
Bai Jiuke looked around, it was his own room, and he could vaguely smell a faint smell of medicine.
Yes, I have been staying in the room these days because of my injuries, and I haven't even left the door, how can I be at the scene of the murder a few days ago?
The murderer who made the yamen can't find it is actually himself?
The strong smell of medicine in the room made her feel an incomparable headache.
Outside the door, a thin woman, holding a tray, the dark and heavy medicinal soup was still steaming, slowly stepped forward, and said respectfully: "Princess Niangniang, it's time to drink the medicine." β
Bai Jiuke frowned, reached out and touched the wound on his forehead, "Mama Zhang, bring the medicine." β
The speaker's tone was slightly helpless, and his face was now pale and terrifying.
You can still see the gauze-wrapped wounds on her forehead and under her nose,
Mama Zhang didn't say anything, and respectfully brought the medicine to the woman, and the hot medicine made her frown.
Bai Jiuke held his breath and drank the brown decoction in one gulp, and at the end, he couldn't help but be speechless.
This time, I still have medicine to drink, and I must cherish it, maybe one day, I will be kicked out by them.
Thinking of this, Bai Jiuke's heart was sour, and his eyes were slightly red, even if Mama Zhang saw it, she was also distressed.
She is also an old man in the palace, she should know everything about him, since she married into the palace, the concubine didn't like her, and the prince hated her even more.
If it weren't for the marriage given by the saint, I am afraid that I would have been driven out of the palace a long time ago, and a princess in the palace would not be as good as a second-class girl.
Now, it is even rumored that she has an affair with the guards, although it is because of the fear of face, she was not driven out, but in the days to come, I am afraid that it will be more and more difficult.
This time, the princess was injured, and it was the princess who ordered that no one should be allowed to heal her, saying that she was left to fend for herself, and it would be easy if she died.
Even if she doesn't die, she has to find a way to drive her out.
Although Mama Zhang felt that they were doing too much, she was a subordinate, and she didn't dare to say anything.
"Princess Niangniang, it's better to go out for a walk, so that you can recover faster."
Bai Jiuke listened to her words, and raised his eyes hesitantly, his eyes were not as godless as Fang Cai, and he was much more energetic.
"Okay, then, in the evening, let's go for a walk outside the house, be quiet."
Mama Zhang choked up: "Okay, it's just that I feel uncomfortable for you, over the years, you have suffered a lot of grievances." β
"It's okay, I don't like to see them, and I have to think of the law to deal with them, this time, it saves me the trouble of dealing with them."
Although she is so comforted in her mouth, she is inevitably bitter in her heart, since she married into the palace, she has become a traitor he hates, even if she is injured this time, she can't get out of this relationship.
Just because she was arranged by the emperor to be by his side to test him, she was disgusted and beware by him everywhere.
What's more, he actually sent people out to ruin her reputation and make her a poisonous woman in the capital who no one knows.
What kind of jealousy, what kind of private meeting at night, what mean people, not serving the mother-in-law, all of them are that guy's nonsense.
However, she can't defend herself, but she doesn't necessarily want to stay here.
Just because he is the only person who knows his background, and his only condition is to cooperate with him.
If not, I will continue to suffer this sin, so that everyone can know the truth, and I can also break off with this bastard.
But right now, I still have to find a way to teach that bastard a lesson, this time I suffered such a big loss, this revenge is not a gentleman, and I will let him know that the bottom line is untouchable.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is the right time to do the most shady things.
Bai Jiuke walked aimlessly on the street alone, like a ghost, and did not know where to go.
At this time, the streets are not as lively as in the daytime, and at night, the streets are silent and dark without the cries of the hawkers.
Suddenlyβ
"Who."
A low, magnetic boy suddenly sounded, and there was a messy footstep in front of him, followed by a few swaying yellow lights,
Bai Jiuke's heart was slightly startled, and after slowly adapting to the flickering light, a familiar face came into view.
Although the lights were a little dim, he could still see his greasy and yellowed face, and after seeing her face clearly, his eyes changed from sharp to shocked, and a little incredible.
Hurriedly bowed: "Princess, why are you here?"
Before Bai Jiuke could say anything, a voice sounded behind him, "Oh no, no, there's an accident on the arch bridge." β
Everyone turned around, only to see a handsome man running over, panting, and when he saw Bai Jiuke, he was also shocked: "Aren't you .......?" β
"Princess Niangniang, in the middle of the night, you don't stay in the palace, how can you appear here alone?"
Faced with such a problem, Bai Jiuke only wanted to hold his forehead and sigh, what kind of luck was this, he just wanted to be alone to relax, how did he know that he would meet him here.
If this is spread out, I'm afraid that it will be passed on by those people again, I'm afraid, it will further confirm her infamy of water-based poplars.
Yuan Yiming could see that she was embarrassed this time, not to mention, there was a tigress in her own family, if there was a rumor of right and wrong, I was afraid that she would not be much better.
"You just said that there was an accident on the other side of the arch bridge, what is going on?"
As the man spoke, he didn't forget to glare at Bai Jiuke out of the corner of his eye.
"Yes, there is a girl on the other side of the arch bridge who can't think of it, so I hurried over and let you take a look."
Yuan Yiming was so angry that he almost kicked him directly: "Such a trivial matter, you also come to me." β
"No, yes........... Because, next to her, there were blue poppies, and I was worried ........." The man didn't go on.
Yuan Yiming's face was full of shock, and he said, "Don't hurry up and lead the way." β
Blue poppies, Bai Jiuke frowned, faintly, he felt that this was related to his dreams, maybe, tonight, he could find the answer.
The arch bridge of the east city is very high, and there are more squatting stone lions next to it, the strange thing is that the arch bridge is to divide the lake into two, one side is sparkling, and the other side is seriously polluted, which can be said to be a world of difference.
The girl at the head of the bridge was dressed in a white plain dress, her lips were white, and her face was even more pale and terrifying.
Such a clear soup with little water, but because of the embellishment of poppies in his hands, it is particularly attractive.
The wind was blowing so hard that it almost blew people away, and the girl looked down at the bottomless, turbulent lake with deep doubt in her eyes.
If this falls, I'm afraid that it will be directly turned into the water, and I can't see anyone, right?
The girl rubbed her hands, but regretted it, for now, she just wanted to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.
It's just that she didn't notice that the moment she got up, she saw a face covered with blood, and then fell straight into the dark and cold water.
This scene happened to be seen by Yuan Yiming who came over, and several people hurriedly jumped down to save people.
This tossed for a long time, and the movement was big enough, even the imperial history was alarmed.
After all, the poppy case is already big enough, and if one or two people can't think about it, forget it.
However, in the past month, it has happened more than 20 times, and each time the suicide is accompanied by blue poppies.
And the last time the girl died, she even said that she saw a woman in red clothes with a bloody face when she had an accident, and it was the woman who pushed her off the bridge.
This time, people are panicked, and most of them feel that it is a powerful ghost asking for their lives, and these days are even more rampant.
Today, such a thing happened in front of everyone's eyes, how could he, the imperial history, sit still?
Yuan Yiming nodded and looked at the stiff-faced Yushi, and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Lord Yushi, this person has been rescued, and Lord Yushi is frightened." β
"Yes, it's true that I'm frightened, Yiming, you know, this thing, in case it ......."
Yuan Yiming interrupted, licking his face: "My lord, there is no case, the person is still alive." β
Yu Shi's words were halfway through, and he was scolded back by these words, and he was unhappy in his heart, but he was also a lot more relieved.
Since the emperor asked him to investigate this matter, he has not been at ease, "Since this is the case, then protect her and don't have an accident." β
"Yes!"
Yushi came to the bridge and took a preliminary look at the scene, especially the poppies on the ground, and felt a headache.
This incident has happened since he took office, and he has a faint feeling that this incident is coming at him.
From the last time I deliberately left clues, to now, there is still a living mouth, this thing is obviously a set, just wait for myself to drill into it.
On the salvage boat, a girl wrapped in a cypress wine cloak, her lips were purple, and she was in a daze with a soup woman in her hand.
"Are you better?" Bai Jiuke said tentatively.
"Little girl?" Bai Jiuke tried his best to calm down and said gently.
"Little girl? The princess is not much older than me, so why call me like that? But my business, the princess should not worry about it. The girl looked at the soup woman in her hand and said slowly.
Bai Jiuke snorted: "Little girl, she has a good temper,"
The girl pinched her fingers and glared at Bai Jiuke: "Can you go home, my mother will worry about me." β
"You girl, we saved you, why do you still have such an attitude? They're all going to die, and you're afraid your mother is worried? Yuan Yiming just came over, but he couldn't stand it.
"Yuan Yiming, be polite, if you scare the girl, you are the only one who asks."
Yu Shi's words changed: "Weichen has seen the princess Niangniang, who was born in the middle of the night, how could Niangniang be here?" β
