Chapter Seventy-Three: Dead Chess
"Xiangye, according to Gu Er's opinion, you can bring Xue Ling in." Gu Jin found out Xue Ling's verbal loopholes, which should not have been able to convince the public, but it cannot be denied that Xue Ling was indeed panicked, so she was really suspicious.
Prime Minister Wei nodded and motioned to the housekeeper to take Xue Ling.
When the others came, they did not let her in, but ordered her to be seen under the eaves outside.
Bianliang City has been raining in autumn for two consecutive days, and the water vapor outside is quite heavy.
Or maybe the little guy who watched the people deliberately made it difficult for her, so she was drenched in the rain.
When the person came in, he was already covered with moisture, and the rain wet his hair, which was sticking to his face, and the soles of his shoes also left a string of splashes on the ground, which looked embarrassing.
The little servant strained slightly behind her, and the man knelt on the ground.
The twilight had sunk, and the room became even darker as there were many people, so naturally it was not clear how pitiful Xue Ling looked.
Only the whimpering sound faintly came out, making people feel hairy in their hearts.
Gu Jin took two steps forward and squatted down on her knees in front of Xue Ling, the girl had the color of autumn frost blooming in the drowsy twilight, like a clear chrysanthemum in the courtyard.
The surroundings were bleak, and she was the only one who was full of light.
Xue Ling was stunned.
Gu Jin smiled and asked, "Are you wronged?" ”
Xue Ling nodded in a daze, then reacted and continued to cry, and the tears then rolled down: "Yes, the slave is wronged!" Xiangye, madam, the slave is wronged! ”
Mrs. Wei couldn't help frowning, but she didn't intercede for her, since she handed it over to Gu Jin to check, she had to rely on her for everything.
Gu Jin chuckled, she reached out and took the plate of braised pork that Chen Xiangsheng consciously handed over, and put the porcelain plate on the ground in front of Xue Ling.
"Okay, since you were wronged, then eat." What was handed to Xue Ling immediately was a pair of chopsticks, "After eating this dish, I believe that you were wronged." ”
Xue Ling trembled and stretched out a pair of jade hands, wanting to pick up the chopsticks handed over by Gu Jin, but her hands didn't listen to the call at all, and she knocked the bamboo chopsticks to the ground, and there were two crisp sounds.
She crawled twice and hurriedly picked it up, but she didn't dare to put the chopsticks into the dish.
Gu Jin sneered, but his tone was still indifferent: "Don't dare, forget it, no one will force you." When Xue Ling's tense nerves relaxed slightly, she said again: "But you have to make it clear about the poisoning, who is behind the scenes, what did that person order you to do, and how long have you been communicating?" ”
Xue Ling swallowed her saliva, the raindrops on the tips of her hair rolled down her forehead and neck, and tears were visible in her eyes.
She was terrified.
Gu Jin got up, and for the first time in his life, he was condescending to people: "Since you don't dare, then recruit it." ”
Xue Ling blinked her eyes with tears, looking even more pitiful, to put it nicely, it was like Mu Sanhui Guiyu oil, it was not good, it was really like a chicken in soup.
"Xiangye, Miss Gu, the slave and maid can't say it, the lives of the slave and maid's family are in the hands of others......"
Gu Jin was stunned, but he didn't expect that the person behind the scenes would leave such a hand, using the lives of Xue Ling's family as a handle, which was indeed vicious.
"You ......" Prime Minister Wei was about to open his mouth to persuade, but saw Xue Ling suddenly fall to the ground, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The little maid covered her heart, her face flushed.
Chen Xiangsheng secretly screamed: "It's not good, I'm afraid I have an old illness in my heart!" ”
Everyone was stunned, heart disease is the most difficult to heal, and now she is frightened and attacked, I am afraid that she is in danger.
Chen Xiangsheng was taking out the silver needle from the medicine box and wanted to apply the needle to her, but he heard Xue Ling muttering: "Medicine...... Medicine ......"
The housekeeper was closest to her, and he heard it most clearly, so he hurriedly took out a bottle of pills in her cuff in the direction of Xue Ling's finger, and he didn't care about the suspicion of men and women, and hurriedly fed her to take it.
Everyone has a little peace of mind, it is good to have medicine, and they can save their lives if they take medicine.
Xue Ling took the medicine, then gasped for a few breaths, her bruised face became better-looking, and just when everyone thought that she had been rescued, she suddenly spurted out a mouthful of black blood and splashed it on the plate of braised pork on the ground, which was shocking.
"Not good!" Chen Xiangsheng hurriedly stepped forward, and when he felt Xue Ling's pulse, his body froze.
"Dead."
He's dead? Didn't you take medicine, how could you just die? She didn't say anything about the white poison umbrella!
At this moment, everyone's hearts are a mess, and only Gu Jin is calm in comparison.
She said with some uncertainty: "I'm afraid...... I didn't die of a heart disease. ”
Mrs. Wei frowned, how could she not die of a heart attack, and was about to ask, but saw Chen Xiangsheng, who was squatting next to Xue Ling's corpse, nodded.
He was holding a silver needle in his hand, which tested the black blood that Xue Ling spit out, and took the medicine bottle in the butler's hand with the other hand. "He died of poisoning." After a pause, he added, "This bottle is poison." ”
Poisoning? Poisoning again! How many poisonings are going to be staged in the prime minister's mansion in a day, and this person will die right under their noses!
Gu Jin stared at Xue Ling's closed eyes, and her heart gradually sank, what she didn't expect was that this game of chess turned out to be a dead game.
