Chapter 223: The Murderer
"Mother, are they going to arrest you?" Feng Ziqi leaned out and tried to get close to her.
Feng Ruoxi lied calmly: "Of course not, they are here to protect their mother." ”
She glanced at Ouyang Yixuan and asked him to say a few words.
Ouyang Yixuan didn't want his son to worry, so he said: "Feng Ziqi, what your mother said is right, there are too many people who want to harm your mother recently, and they are sent by their father to protect your mother." ”
Commander Han opened his mouth to say something, and Ouyang Yixuan's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Does Commander Han want to go against this king?" ”
The emperor only said that Feng Ruoxi was arrested, and did not mean to pursue King Xuan, and Commander Han did not dare to offend King Xuan, so he turned a blind eye when he heard Feng Ruoxi's words.
Feng Ziqi blinked her eyes wide and looked at them suspiciously: "Really? ”
"Of course it's true, Feng Ziqi has a good rest, she has taken care of her body, and I will cook a sumptuous meal for you to eat."
As soon as Feng Ziqi heard that it was delicious, she was really distracted.
Feng Ruoxi asked the phantom to carry Feng Ziqi back to the house, she turned around and looked at Commander Han, and said expressionlessly, "Let's go." ”
Ouyang Yixuan also went with him, and with him staring, Commander Han didn't dare to ask someone to detain Feng Ruoxi.
……
"Your Majesty, someone brought it."
Commander Han strode into the hall and bowed to Emperor Qin Zhao.
"Bring it in!"
Feng Ruoxi walked in under the watchful eye of the two guards, and Ouyang Yixuan followed closely behind.
Seeing that Ouyang Yixuan was also here, Emperor Qin Zhao looked slightly uncomfortable.
Dongfang Shuo didn't look at him, since Feng Ruoxi came in, his gaze shot at her like a sharp arrow.
"Feng Ruoxi, you slut! This king really regrets that he didn't kill you with a sword in the first place! ”
Feng Ruoxi didn't fall on him for the first time, but looked at the thin man in gorgeous clothes sitting on the side.
Gentle and harmless, although it doesn't look timid, it's not brilliant, and it's easy to overlook.
He also looked at Feng Ruoxi with a smile on his face.
Feng Ruoxi's eyes flickered, and she turned her eyes to suppress the ups and downs in her heart.
Now that she is pretending to be controlled by King Jing's Heart Lock Gu, she naturally can't show similar hatred towards him, otherwise she may arouse King Jing's suspicions.
"Be bold, don't kneel down when you see the emperor!"
The father-in-law beside Emperor Qin Zhao scolded with a hanging voice.
Feng Ruoxi looked at Emperor Qin Zhao at this time, his eyes were not angry and arrogant, and he looked at her coldly.
Even if it wasn't as obvious as Dongfang Shuo's performance, Feng Ruoxi could feel the emperor's disgust for him.
But so what, she doesn't need to be liked by anyone else.
With a faint smile in his heart, Feng Ruoxi bowed in vain, and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the day before yesterday, the palace of Xuan Wang was on fire, and the maiden was injured in the leg, so it is inconvenient to bow down." ”
Emperor Qin Zhao didn't bother to bother to kneel at this time, and sat on the top of his voice, calm and majestic: "Feng Ruoxi, are you guilty?" ”
"The folk girl doesn't know."
"Heh, you poisoned my mother, don't think about it!" Dongfang Shuo said angrily.
Feng Ruoxi replied calmly: "Why did King Xuan say this? There is no evidence to spew blood. ”
"If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, since you want evidence, this king will give you evidence!" Dongfang Shuo raised his voice and shouted, "Vanilla, repeat what you just said in front of her." ”
"Yes." Vanilla glanced at Feng Ruoxi quickly, and said clearly, "After Concubine Lan Guifei was beaten into the cold palace, Miss Yan found the slave and asked the slave to poison Concubine Lan, but the slave and maid refused, so Miss Yan threatened with the lives of the slave and maid's family, and the slave and maid were forced to be helpless, so they had to poison Concubine Lan's daily meals according to Miss Yan's instructions. Because Lan Guifei is very vigilant about diet, she has to test whether it is poisonous every time, so the dose given by the slave and maid each time is very small, and it cannot be detected with a silver needle, and she will not die if she eats it once or twice, but if she eats it for a long time, the poison in her body will increase, and finally Lan Guifei will die of poison. ”
"Feng Ruoxi, what else do you have to say?" Emperor Qin Zhao asked in a deep voice.
Feng Ruoxi chuckled, her face was very calm: "How can a palace maid's words be credulous?" ”
Emperor Qin Zhao was speechless for a while.
Yan Zhixing sarcastically said: "If it's not you, who else can there be?" You are the only one who has a deep grudge against your mother. You are the only one who wants to harm your mother's life, you say that the words of the palace maid are not credible, so what do you use to prove your innocence? ”
Feng Ruoxi looked at her coldly with side eyes, Yan Zhixing was stunned by the other party's cold eyes, and retreated for a moment.
Immediately, she reacted, angry at her cowardice, and became more and more angry at Feng Ruoxi, and glanced at Feng Ruoxi angrily.
Feng Ruoxi turned sideways and looked down at the palace maid: "You said that I gave you poison, so when and where did you find you?" ”
Vanilla hesitated slightly, and then said, "It's just under the corner of the Frost Palace, on the night when Concubine Lan first moved to the Frost Palace. ”
"That night, I was clearly with King Xuan, you can see me, it's really strange, could it be that I have the art of clone?" Feng Ruoxi said in surprise.
"King Xuan and you are the same raccoon dog, maybe he will poison his mother and concubine......"
"Xuan'er!" Emperor Qin Zhao interrupted Dongfang Shuo's words.
Dongfang Shuo also knew that he had lost his words, but his guess was not unreasonable.
This pair of dog men and women secretly made a song, cuckolded themselves, and now they live together in the open, who would believe that they have no relationship? I hate myself and can only watch, and I can't take revenge.
Dongfang Shuo clenched his fists and said loudly: "I implore my father and the emperor to see and give justice to my mother." ”
Emperor Qin Zhao looked at Ouyang Yixuan: "King Xuan, what King Xuan said is also reasonable, you don't want to get involved in this matter." ”
"My brother is a witness, how can I not participate?" Ouyang Yixuan's dark eyes were like an abyss, and he wanted to hook away people's souls, and he was directly hooked by his eyes, it was Emperor Qin Zhao, and he was also a little worried.
Dongfang Shuo, who lost his mind due to hatred, was not afraid of him, and laughed angrily when he heard this: "Father doesn't want you to be too ugly, so he didn't let people detain you, you think you are still the high King Xuan, can you act recklessly?" ”
Ouyang Yixuan ignored him, but said to Emperor Qin Zhao: "Brother has a plan to find out the murderer. ”
"Do you have a way?" Emperor Qin Zhao was stunned, "What is the way?" ”
"In case the partition wall has ears, can the imperial brother talk to the courtiers in private?"
Ouyang Yixuan was talking to the emperor on his face, and he whispered to Dongfang Shuo in private.
Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but be stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
Emperor Qin Zhao bowed slightly: "Okay." ”
The emperor and Ouyang Yixuan withdrew from everyone and talked secretly in the palace.
Dongfang Shuo glared at Feng Ruoxi hatefully.
Feng Ruoxi's expression was calm, the plan was discussed between her and Ouyang Yixuan before she came.
Although it was disrupted by King Jing's intervention, it did not affect the implementation of their plan.
Feng Ruoxi, who exited the main hall, glanced at King Jing, and King Jing looked at each other, and King Jing seemed to be concerned and said: "This palace heard that Xiao Shizi was poisoned, has the poison been resolved?" ”
"Thanks to Lord Jing's concern, the child is indeed highly poisonous, and the antidote has not yet been found." Feng Ruoxi didn't know the intentions of King Jing, this was to anger himself and let himself and Dongfang Shuo tear each other apart, and at the same time, it was also to tell Dongfang Shuo that because Feng Ziqi was poisoned, he was likely to take revenge on Lan Guifei, otherwise how could Lan Guifei just die of poison today? As long as Dongfang Shuo investigates a little, he can string together a cause and effect.
King Jing's scheming is too deep.
The thought was fleeting in her mind, and on the surface, she showed an angry expression as King Jing expected, and glanced at Dongfang Shuo coldly.
Dongfang Shuo listened to the words of the two in his ears, his brows twisted fiercely, and he said in his heart: "This woman's wild seed is poisoned? Did she suspect that they had poisoned her, so she stretched out her poisonous hand to her mother? ”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was, and Dongfang Shuo immediately walked towards Feng Ruoxi with a fierce attitude.
"Fourth brother, what are you going to do?" King Jing seemed to be frightened by his expression, and his face turned white instantly.
Feng Ruoxi had to admire King Jing's acting skills, his face was white, it was a pity not to be a play.
Secretly complaining, Feng Ruoxi stopped, and looked at Dongfang Shuo with an unkind face.
"This king won't let you go!" Dongfang Shuo stood still, stared into her eyes, and said word by word.
Feng Ruoxi tugged at the corners of her mouth, and her voice was so cold that she was scum: "Return the original words." ”
King Jing stood aside, looking at the tension between the two, with a smile in his eyes.
"Ahem!"
A cough broke the condensation in the courtyard.
Emperor Qin Zhao and Ouyang Yixuan walked out of the hall, and the former spoke majestically: "At present, Feng Ruoxi is the most suspicious, but except for the palace maid, there is no other direct evidence that the murderer is Feng Ruoxi, so after discussing with King Xuan, I decided to temporarily detain Feng Ruoxi in the palace, and without my order, I am not allowed to move around at will." ”
"How does Father plan to find the real murderer?" King Jing asked seemingly casually.
Emperor Qin Zhao squinted his eyes at Dongfang Shuo, who was full of resentment, and said in a deep voice: "I have my own way to do this, Lord Jing is weak, go back to rest first, don't be tired." ”
The emperor said so, and it was not good for King Jing to say anything.
He glanced sideways at Feng Ruoxi and Dongfang Shuo, and his voice was gentle: "The fourth emperor brother and Miss Yan have something to say, this palace believes that there must be a misunderstanding here, don't hurt the harmony." ”
Dongfang Shuo sneered: "Brother King Jing doesn't know anything, so don't stand and talk without backache." ”
King Jing's face changed, he smiled awkwardly, turned around and said goodbye to Emperor Qin Zhao.
After leaving the Frost Hall and sitting in the sedan chair, the expression on King Jing's face changed completely, and his gentle eyes turned cold in an instant, like a ghostly pupil.
"Let's see how long you can be arrogant!" Pale thin lips slowly spit out a few words.
After returning to the East Palace, he immediately called someone to inquire about the emperor's plans.
It didn't take long for King Jing to get the news.
It turned out that King Xuan's trick was to "pretend to be a ghost", scare vanilla on Concubine Lan's mourning hall, and force her to tell the truth.
Because once people fall into fear, especially when faced with "ghosts", they will subconsciously tell the truth.
Ouyang Yixuan wanted to use this trick to force Vanilla to tell the real mastermind.
After hearing this, King Jing hooked his lips: "King Xuan will also have this method of pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, but it's a pity, since he is a person from this palace, how can he be frightened by the ghosts of nothingness." ”
He lowered his eyes and said to Wei who was kneeling in front of him: "You quickly go and inform Vanilla and let her 'expose' King Xuan at night." ”
"Yes, Lord Jing." Wei quietly withdrew.
King Jing looked ahead and said with a smug smile: "The Nine Emperor Uncles of this palace haven't tasted the taste of lifting a stone to hit your own feet, right?" ”
……
It was night, the autumn wind was bleak, the clouds were thick, and I couldn't see my fingers.
In the mourning hall of Concubine Lan, there were many white strips of cloth, and as soon as the wind blew in, the white strips of cloth were blown and swayed, and the candles swayed, and the fire flickered dimly.
Vanilla, unconscious, was thrown into the mourning hall by the guards.
Ouyang Yixuan pointed out the acupoints in the air and woke her up.
Vanilla, who woke up, shivered with fear when she saw her surroundings.
The white-clothed female ghost dressed as Lan Guifei floated around her, scaring Vanilla half to death.
Under the pressure of the female ghost, Vanilla cried out: "Niangniang, I'm sorry, it's not the slave who wants to harm you, it's King Xuan, he forced the slave and the maid to poison you, the wronged has a head, the debt has a master, you want to take revenge, go to him." ”
Dongfang Shuo, who was hiding in the shadows, opened his eyes wide and glared at Ouyang Yixuan angrily: "Nine Emperor Uncles, what else do you have to say now?" It turns out that you were the one who poisoned the mother! ”
Ouyang Yixuan and Feng Ruoxi glanced at each other, and King Jing really had a trick.
Seeing that Ouyang Yixuan was speechless, Dongfang Shuo waved his fist and rushed towards him.
The two immediately mingled, and no one else could intervene.
Feng Ruoxi stood aside and watched.
After the two of them had passed dozens of moves, Dongfang Shuo hit Ouyang Yixuan and knocked him out.
Feng Ruoxi made a move at this time to block Dongfang Shuo's attack, and then grabbed Ouyang Yixuan's hand and led him away.
Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo raised his hand and shouted: "Chase!" ”
Wei hid in the dark to observe, and when he saw this, he immediately turned around and secretly rushed back to the East Palace, telling King Jing what he saw and heard.
When King Jing heard this, he was surprised: "King Xuan is not King Xuan's opponent?" ”
"He was poisoned last time and forcibly used internal force, and he definitely hasn't recovered yet." No Taoist guesses.
When King Jing heard this, he felt reasonable, he raised his thin lips and said with a smile: "It's really a good show to watch now." The cultivation has been greatly reduced, and there are fewer powerful secret guards, and the palace wants to see what King Xuan still has to rely on. ”
The cold tone was terrifying to hear.
And it didn't take long for Jing Wangye and the others to hear abnormal movement outside.
King Jing motioned for Wei to go out and take a look.
After a while, the person who walked in surprised King Jing even more.
"You ......"
King Jing stared at him for a moment, and turned to look at the man who was dragged in by Feng Ruoxi.
Feng Ruoxi hugged his fists towards King Jing and Wuxin Daoren: "King Xuan has no power to resist now, and he will deal with it with King Jing." ”
King Jing was puzzled: "How did you arrest him?" ”
Feng Ruoxi replied calmly: "His internal injuries have not healed, and when he was hiding from King Xuan's pursuit, he was defenseless against me, so he was softened by me. ”
Although King Jing's original intention was to let Ouyang Yixuan and King Xuan fight and lose both, now that King Xuan was in his hands, he could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Very good, Hongu really didn't misunderstand you." King Jing glanced at Feng Ruoxi happily.
Feng Ruoxi's expression was indifferent.
King Jing was not angry, he looked Ouyang Yixuan up and down, and couldn't help but smile when he saw that his hands were tied behind him.
A person who has been loosened by a weak tendon will be weak, even if he is restrained with an ordinary rope, he will not want to break free.
