Chapter 68: The Man Who Poisoned the Poisoner; Escape
Wiping her face soaked in tears, she gradually calmed down, but the chill in her heart was still devouring her inch by inch.
It turns out that there is such a deathly situation behind this!
Everyone's hearts were palpitating. The Queen Mother's old face also condensed layers of frost: "Yiqing, what the hell is going on?!" β
The crown prince bowed: "Imperial grandmother Rongyu, after the grandson learned that his father was poisoned yesterday, he ordered someone to investigate secretly." It was also because of the fact that various things had happened one after another in the past two days, and the Praetorian Guards in the palace had strengthened patrols and guards, so those who had been sent to find out the cause had made progress very quickly. β
"At that time, they caught a suspicious palace maid near the imperial study. Originally, it was just a simple inquiry, but I didn't expect that the palace maid confessed everything by herself because of fear in her heart! β
"Her own identity, the identity of the person behind her, the origin of the poison, the process and purpose of the poison...... Even, the guards found half a pack of unused poison powder and an antidote in her bed! β
Xiao Chuhe was a little puzzled. In this way, there is no doubt that the palace maid must be the one who poisoned her! But the person who instructed her must not be herself, so who could that person be?
It seems that if you want to find out who is behind it, you can only start from the characteristics of poison.
However, when the Queen Mother heard that the Praetorian Guards had found the antidote, the big stone in her heart was finally put down!
"Did the emperor take the antidote? How is he? She looked concerned but complicated.
As the saying goes, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, but the palms are about to leave her! The reason is because the back of the hand is too much!
What's more, she went against his will and saved the person he originally wanted to eradicate, so he ...... her Alas, that's it! After tonight, she and her eldest son will never see each other again in this life! In that case, she doesn't care about one more!
The prince didn't know that her mind had turned, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Father's poison has been cured, but in the end, his body has suffered a serious loss, and he has already drunk medicine and fallen asleep at this time." β
He bowed his head lightly, but he didn't speak again.
Xiao Chuhe and Li Yue listened to their conversation, their faces were indifferent, and they didn't say anything. It seems that this time, they are completely chilled!
The topic only continued for a moment, and everyone returned to the topic.
Xiao Chuhe groaned: "What is the emperor's reaction after being poisoned? Did Imperial Doctor Zhang find out what kind of poison it was? β
The prince was stunned when he heard this.
Because the emperor was discussing political affairs with the two ministers in the imperial study at that time, he was also present as the crown prince. But when the incident happened suddenly, he didn't have time to observe so many, and after moving the emperor to the top with others, he withdrew everyone and ordered someone to ask for a doctor.
So now, he could only reply hesitantly: "My nephew didn't pay attention to it at that time, but he just felt that his father was much weaker than before. β
But the moment the last word floated out of his mouth, the situation flashed through his mind like lightning!
"Nope! More than! His emotions instantly became excited, and even his voice was unconsciously doubled, "At that time, there was still half a circle of blue thin lines on my father's wrist!" β
"Boom!" There seemed to be thunder in Xiao Chuhe's ears. But in just an instant, the stunned look on his face disappeared, and he was still as calm as before.
Li Yue was only stunned for a while before regaining her indifference.
But their reaction fell in the eyes of the Queen Mother, which really made her old man puzzled for a while!
What's so surprising about that?! Each poison has its own medicinal properties and different reactions when poisoned. It's just that the emperor's reaction after being poisoned is a little weird, and they can't be so surprised?! Could it be ......
"Do you know who poisoned him?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
But they never thought that Xiao Chuhe and his wife would nod their heads in a matter!
Now it was the queen mother's turn and her old man was surprised: "Who is that person?" How do you know?! β
"It's Sang Wuji, the former national teacher."
The tone of the two of them was indifferent, but as soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother and the Prince were immediately shocked!
Needless to say, the Queen Mother was born in the previous dynasty, and she had witnessed Sang Wuji's brilliance and heard of his deeds. Even later her husband Xiao Zijin and him plotted to seize the throne, she was also clear! But only for Garland...... She knows very little!
Let's just say that the prince, although he was only a few years old when Dongli was founded, but before this, he had also heard of this person! At that time, he had the impression that Sang Wuji was a peerless man!
Hearing the news at first glance now, a trembling feeling instantly welled up in their hearts. That's a man of the hour who can be compared to Emperor Xiao Zijin at a young age!
"It turned out to be the poison he sent to the emperor! What does he want to do?! "The two don't know the truth, so it's understandable to think so.
On the contrary, Xiao Chuhe and Li Yue, their faces were a little solemn, but there was still a touch of ease in their eyes: "Since you know that it is his poisonous hand, it will be easy to do!" β
Hearing this, the other people had different faces, and they could only hear him tell all the reasons and strategies in his own extraordinarily rich voice.
The bright moon is gradually sinking in the west, and there seems to be a touch of fish belly white on the horizon, and the lights of the Buddha hall are still flickering. ββββββββββββ
Xiao Ruoruo, don't mention how miserable it is at this time!
Big wounds, minor injuries, internal injuries, all over the body! Hands hurt, feet hurt, heart aches, it hurts everywhere!
His eyes were blue and slightly swollen, his face was pale, the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, and there was an inch-long wound on his cheek that kept oozing blood, along his chin and neck, and wet the placket on his chest all the time!
It's even more miserable! Not to mention the many wounds, even the neat and clean clothes that he wore before leaving the house were cut with swords, and became tattered and dirty!
At this time, it was getting late, but fortunately with the bright moon, she was able to run steadily and vigorously, trying to get rid of the group of damn henchmen behind her! On her back, there was an old man who was also dirty and even unconscious.
Worried, she couldn't help but call him a few times: "Old man, wake up!" Don't die, old man! If you die, I'll throw you in the middle of the mountains and make you the food for the wolf's mouth!" β
Sure enough, it's angry and doesn't pay for your life! Cheng Buqi directly spit a mouthful of thick blood on her back: "Death...... Dead girl, you ...... Don't you dare! β
Hearing his weak voice, she was relieved. But I can't stop her from owing! Holding back the wet smell on his back, he ran fast under his feet, and his mouth still kept talking: "Do you see if I dare!" There are so many people chasing us in the back! If you die, I'll throw you away, hey, then I'll have a lot easier! When the time comes, you will naturally be able to run away smoothly! As for you, alas! It can only be turned into food, and it will be eaten by the wolves, wild dogs, and other things on this mountain, and there are no bones left! β
The more I talk about it, the more miserable it becomes, and the more I say it, the more miserable it becomes, and finally the one who doesn't give up Cheng Bu is called a blushing and thick neck! He simply lay on her back and didn't speak.
"Hey, old man? Hey, hey, old man, are you talking?! Don't scare me, old man! Master, you ......" I couldn't see anyone, and I couldn't hear his voice, Xiao Ruoruo suddenly panicked, and there was a faint cry in her voice.
"I can't die yet! Hum! Cheng Buqi replied lightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
This damn girl! obviously has a teacher in his heart, but he still has an old man on the left and an old man on the left and an old man deliberately angry with him! I'm not afraid to make him angry!
Xiao Ruoruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when she heard him say this, she just rolled her eyes and didn't pay attention to him anymore.
The two didn't say anything all the way, and Cheng Bu gave up resting on her back. And behind them, the people of Netherworld have been chasing them all the time!
It didn't take long for the dead branches in front of them to gradually disappear, and a wave of water with a faint white gas reflected in their eyelids. This is their destination - Linxian Lake, seeing this, Xiao Ruoruo hurriedly reminded Cheng not to abandon the signal!
Linxian Lake is located in the middle of Dongli, next to the Changlong River, when people look down on it, they find that its whole is a very perfect circle, so the people in this area also call it Longzi Lake.
There is an island in the center of the lake, and the island is overgrown with ancient cypresses and branches. Under the shade of many flowers and trees, a low mountain is hidden deep in it, like a shy little girl hiding behind her parents, which is really cute! At the foot of the mountain, neat tiled houses and sturdy stone houses are intertwined, just like a game of chess pieces.
At this moment, on the open-air venue outside the door, there were many people standing in the dark, and they all belonged to the Demon Palace.
"Commander, look, that's the Palace Master's flare! They've arrived! β
Hearing this, the eyes of a powerful outfit rose, and he glanced at it, and then the momentum around him soared, and the whole person was like a sharp sword out of the sheath!
"Let's go! Answer! β
"Yes!"
The sound shook the heavens and the earth, and everyone quickly turned around.
When the two of them reached the lake, as soon as they stopped, Sang Wuji's men surrounded them.
βShitοΌβ Xiao Ruoruo couldn't help but take a sip, and the expression on her face was not very good.
Cheng Buqi's eyes were deep, but he didn't ask the meaning of this sentence.
In fact, he discovered Xiao Ruoruo's difference very early.
She is independent and self-reliant, and does not have the idea that women in this era must rely on their husbands and sons to survive. She is self-confident and self-reliant, no matter when, no matter where, her eyes are shining with a light as strong as the sun! She also has self-esteem and self-love, she doesn't like to be pretentious like other women, and she will not lose her sense of proportion in front of her beloved, and she will be tired of asking for it!
She would invent many strange and practical things; She has a special knack for business, and knows a lot of things that have never appeared before; Every time she cooked, she would cook something they had never heard of but were delicious, and sometimes something unheard of would come out of her mouth......
