After several tosses, Old Madam Gu finally moistened her throat with a sip of warm water, and the smell of blood around her eased somewhat, but the pain between her eyebrows only increased, and her eyes were blood-red.

"Let me ask you, what changes did you go through when you were young?"

She really analyzed the past for Xiang Yeqi, such an ordinary question, and asked Xiang Yeqi a question.

Xiang Yeqi shook his head in astonishment, unable to bear to respond to Bo Zhaoxu's concerned gaze.

After a moment of stalemate, he made a reasonable reply to Yeqi, and forced a smile on his face: "There were so many things when I was young, I really can't remember." I heard from my family that I should have had a few serious illnesses, but I don't know anything else. ”

Suddenly, Old Madam Gu hid her face and coughed twice, in the end, it was because she gave people the impression that she was too much like a madman, even if she fed poison with her body, it seemed very reasonable. The guards who accompanied the interrogation broke her palms in horror, lest Old Madam Gu did something in it.

"Back to the prince, there is nothing."

The guard's demeanor was like a machine that repeatedly executes the same command, numb and indifferent, looking at Yeqi following his line of sight, only to see a black and purple blood in the palm of Old Madam Gu's palm.

"It's weird, you girl doesn't care about her own business at all? I'm afraid that even the girl in the Shangguan family knows more about you than yourself! ”

Old Madam Gu sneered humorously, I don't know what Shangguan Rao heard from her, so she sighed like this.

"You have thought about it, mother-in-law, I want to tell you this little thing, ordinary people may not accept." She looked at Bo Zhaoxu meaningfully, "Think about it, listen alone, or what?" ”

For a moment, Xiang Yeqi felt that she was more like the one who was being tortured, her thoughts were a little noisy, and the sky outside the house gradually became gloomy, and suddenly a gust of wind blew.

It's like her heart.

"If you think anything is wrong, the king can leave." Bo Zhaoxu touched her chilly cheeks, and overheated her a little, "No matter what, this king will bear it with you." ”

Why is it so heavy?

Xiang Yeqi smiled like a self-deprecating smile, she subconsciously touched her chest, feeling the heartbeat that was still throbbing and full of vitality, at least at this time, she still had a fresh vitality, and everything in front of her was not a big dream in the world, everything around her was a real existence.

Her liking for Bo Zhaoxu is that Bo Zhaoxu is sincere to herself.

"I've never been afraid."

Xiang Yeqi quickly shook his head, "This person is so cunning, he may not have a few words of truth in his mouth. You'd better stay with me...... Lest there be any other mess that I won't have time to deal with. She coughed twice in pretending to be serious.

The guard who remained in the interrogation room retreated very knowingly, without saying a word.

"Who do you want to leave to listen, it has nothing to do with my mother-in-law, as for whether you believe these things or not—then it's all up to you! Mother-in-law, I asked myself, I don't know who has such a big grudge against you, and would plant such a ruthless Gu poison for you when you were young, when Shangguan girl told me, I laughed at her for exaggerating, how can there be such a strange Gu poison in this world, even I can't cure it? Rare, really rare! But it's even stranger......"

The sound of rain outside the door suddenly became clear, and Old Madam Gu was about to talk about the important place.

"If you want me to say, once this level of Gu poison attacks, you won't live for three years at all! But Shangguan girl spent money to find someone to inquire about your past experience, only to find out that when you were seven years old, you stepped on the air and fell into the pool of Xiangfu, and no one has seen you for many years since the beating, and the Gu on your body also fell into a near-death state that year, although it has not been removed, but there is no longer any threat to you. ”

Xiang Yeqi laughed dryly twice, if the matter came to an end, I was afraid that Old Madam Gu would not pretend to be a ghost and scare herself for a long time.

Unless this old lady Gu's brain is really not normal.

"Go on." Bo Zhaoxu said indifferently.

"If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't really have any opinions, but Shangguan girl is different-that's really a genius! Alas! If I hadn't lost this life at a young age, I would have a lot of things to teach her...... mother-in-law" Old Madam Gu sighed with deep pity.

"Shangguan girl is good at poison, although the poison she concocted, although it will not kill you, but it can reawaken the activity of Gu poison in your body, once it attacks, your good days are almost over. If this person is jealous, he can really think of any way, and I can't help but admire my mother-in-law! ”

Xiang Yeqi lowered his shoulders, and it was clear that he had only listened to a few ridiculous words, and he could even make himself so tired that he was even a little out of breath.

But Mrs. Gu said again: "Mother-in-law, I dare to say that I am sure to save your life." Why bother with a depressed face, is it possible, you little girl is already thinking about her future? Oh, mother-in-law, if I can't help it, then it's better not to tell you, otherwise you will be angry, mother-in-law, my death, I'm afraid I can't see where to go. ”

Bo Zhaoxu's voice suddenly became a little hoarse, and he didn't wait for Old Madam Gu to continue to hang the appetite of the two: "This king can indeed spare your life." ”

The negotiation between the two reached a consensus in an instant, but it was said in an obscure way, and if it wasn't for listening to the whole process, it would be difficult to estimate the intention of the two's words.

Old Madam Gu wanted to use saving herself as a bargaining chip in exchange for a way to survive. Bo Zhaoxu is also willing to respond by forgiving Mrs. Gu's crime to ensure that the rest of Xiang Ye's life is smooth and safe.

"Heh, I am willing to say so much because you are begging you to let me go?" Old Madam Gu was conclusive, "Even if you kill me, I will admit that mother-in-law!" But anyway - you have to slaughter Gu Yanchao, a wolf-hearted little cub, otherwise, I would rather die with her! ”

The candle in the lamppost was running out, and there wasn't much left to say.

Xiang Yeqi was silent for a long time, the light in her eyes flickering on and off, as if blown away by the night wind that slipped in. She asked rhetorically, "How can I believe what you're saying?" ”

"You don't have to rush to believe. Counting the days, this Gu poison is not far from the attack. The first few times, it didn't cost people's lives, but this hardship, I still had to suffer a little, and before Gu hair, even if I wanted to pull out Gu, there was no way. One word, etc. ”

Old Madam Gu actually smiled calmly, looking at it with full confidence in what she said, "When the Gu poison attacks, it doesn't hurt if you come to my mother-in-law to talk about the conditions." ”

"I see."

Xiang Yeqi blew out the flickering candlestick, took Bo Zhaoxu's arm and walked out of the interrogation room, finally took a breath from the depressed atmosphere, and saw that Bo Zhaoxu was more worried than himself, so he comforted: "You don't have to pay too much attention to her words. I know what my body is, and she said all this just to stall for time to get herself out. ”

Old Madam Gu committed a serious crime, and the mere fact that she endangered the Son of Heaven was enough to make her head fall to the ground, and she would have to figure out where she missed in the next life.

But as long as she has chips in her hands, she can live.

Bo Zhaoxu grabbed Xiang Ye'er's wrist, as if he was about to say something, but he stopped for a while, and said with a smile: "Does this king still need Yan'er to enlighten?" Don't be afraid. ”

After he coaxed Xiang Yeqi to sleep, he actually got up and put on a big hat alone and went to the interrogation room where Old Madam Gu was being held.

The wooden door of the interrogation room was pushed open with a creak, and in the dark corner, there was a playful smile from Old Madam Gu: "I knew that the fourth prince would come again." to atone for sins. ”

In the dark night, when the word atonement sounded particularly harsh, Bo Zhaoxu felt as if he had not escaped some invisible dagger and pierced into his heart.

"You asked Yeqi, but what did you not want others to hear, but you didn't ask about this king, could it be that Old Madam Gu also felt that there were some things that she couldn't know?" Bo Zhaoxu's face became a little dark.

"Not bad." Old Madam Gu admitted very happily, "Shangguan girl said that you sent her to investigate those things, and you also know about the fact that the fourth princess has Gu poison in her body." ”

Her desire to find a gap between the two is too obvious, and speaking openly and directly may not make any difference. But once this event exists as an unstable factor, it can easily cause an uproar.

"Then you may be disappointed—this king is not afraid of this."

Bo Zhaoxu sneered nonchalantly, but his brows furrowed slightly: "This king doesn't feel that it is a shame to be deceived by his former subordinates." ”

Old Madam Gu was a little stunned: "Co-authoring the poisoning of the four princesses, isn't it what you intended?" ”

There is a Shangguan Rao who has died between the two, and it is even more difficult for Old Madam Gu to find out Bo Zhaoxu's thoughts.

Shangguan Rao once mentioned to Mrs. Gu without any scruples that the "princesses" who were sent to monitor Bo Zhaoxu basically died at her hands, and there were only one or two "lucks", which were really bad luck, maybe they were manipulated by Bo Zhaoxu's political enemies.

So she naturally decided that Shangguan Rao's poisoning of the night was acquiesced by Bo Zhaoxu, but time passed, and Bo Zhaoxu repented.

But I didn't know that from the beginning, Bo Zhaoxu was deceived by Shangguan Rao himself. At that time, Shangguan Rao had not yet revealed any greedy thoughts in front of everyone, and even most of the time, she would not speak to anyone other than Bo Zhaoxu and Nan Chen.

Shangguan Rao even took the initiative to give this matter to Bo Zhaoxu, but Shangguan Rao justifiably claimed that this thing did not pose any threat to Xiang Yeqi, and if it dragged on for a while, the worm himself swallowed, which was not accurate. But Gu worms are already easily controlled by emotions, so it's better not to tell Xiang Yeqi about this matter.
