Chapter 302: Discovering the Clues
Concubine Jing was choked by Baili Yunzheng's words, but she still replied with a pretended toughness: "Hmph, you check so frequently, you can still blame me for being wary." Who knows if you're using a machination? I want to take the opportunity to save that slut while looking at it! ”
Baili Yunzheng and the second prince were very unhappy when they heard Concubine Jing's harsh reply, but they were still trying to suppress their emotions.
The two exchanged glances, and they both found that Concubine Jing was wrong, and there must be something wrong with evading the root of the matter in her words.
Baili Yunzheng frowned slightly, and his cold eyes were full of firmness and non-anger: "Concubine Jing, it's not appropriate for you to talk like this, right?" The night is easy to change, we are also worried about the early summer, so we came to check, how do you insist on blocking it, is it that something really happened in the early summer, and you don't want to be responsible and it is difficult to hide the truth? ”
This time, Baili Yunzheng and the second prince didn't wait for Concubine Jing's answer, and directly beckoned to the guards and managers behind them, shouting: "Come on, enter Concubine Jing's mansion, seriously search me from the inside out!" ”
Baili Yunzheng's tone was unquestionable, he didn't even look at Concubine Jing, he went straight into the mansion and searched with those guards.
The atmosphere in this mansion suddenly became anxious, the common purpose of Baili Yunzheng and the second prince was only to find Li Chuxia and ensure her safety, and Concubine Jing now did not know Li Chuxia's location and had no weight in her hand, she was very panicked, it was worth waiting for the opportunity to make trouble.
"You ...... How dare you ......" Concubine Jing was just about to be angry and stopped, but she was so frightened that she couldn't speak by Baili Yunzheng's fierce eyes, Baili Yunzheng glanced at her and walked straight to the mansion.
Concubine Jing stomped on the ground helplessly and impatiently, shook her hand twice, and chased after her.
"Search me carefully, don't leave any corner behind," Baili Yunzheng ordered in an undeniable tone, his tone firm and powerful. "You two, don't be all together, there's no one here, search this room too."
The second prince also followed along with the command to arrange the search: "What? Have nothing to do? Did you search the backyard? Go without searching, don't grind from here! ”
Concubine Jing watched the two of them worry about Li Chuxia so much, and crunched her back molars, but she couldn't do anything, it was worth glaring at them viciously behind her back, and her heart was really a mess, and she couldn't think of a countermeasure.
"Be careful, you can't afford to pay if you fall and touch it...... Don't move that, don't move that! That's expensive, don't drop me...... Flip it with a tap! ”
Concubine Jing had to make trouble on the side, and the officers and soldiers she provoked were very tired of her mean face.
"Concubine Jing, you don't have to worry, I have already explained to them, and it will definitely not damage any of the decorations here and your tidying." Baili Yunzheng didn't look at Concubine Jing, and said lightly, "You just go down and rest first, don't be a bad fan, if there is someone who damages your things, I will pay back the things twice, and the people will be handed over to you to dispose of, okay?" ”
"You ......" Concubine Jing heard this, and she couldn't do anything more, so she had to catch fire and panic in her heart.
"Report to the general, not found."
"Your Highness, we don't have it there."
"Did you go to the backyard?" Baili Yunzheng's brows furrowed again when he heard the report.
"Report to the general, the first thing we searched was the backyard and the wings, all of which were carefully searched, and there was no trace of the eldest lady in early summer."
Baili Yunzheng sneered, turned around to look at Concubine Jing, and said in a cold voice, "Concubine Jing, please explain." We did not damage any of your belongings during the search, which is considered to be a respectful of your wishes. ”
The more Baili Yunzheng spoke, the colder his voice became, Concubine Jing shivered a little, but she still beat her spirits, but her body had shrunk up, her head was lowered and her eyes were rolled, and she couldn't think of a way to think of ants on a hot pot.
"You didn't let us in in the first place, it turns out that you have lost people, where are they now? Tell the truth! The second prince scolded sharply.
Concubine Jing was frightened, and her body began to tremble a little, she thought quickly in her heart, but she couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, so she began to change the topic hesitantly: "Ah, that, that's like this...... Actually......"
Baili Yunzheng was just when the second prince and Concubine Jing were circling around, and suddenly found the cage in Concubine Jing's courtyard.
He remembered that Concubine Jing had used the cage to take care of Li Chuxia, but at this time there was no one in the cage, he walked into the west cage to take a closer look, and found that the lock of the cage had been pried open, so it meant that Concubine Jing had escaped from the palace by herself now, and Concubine Jing didn't know where she was now.
After Baili Yunzheng reacted, he immediately called the second prince and told him about his discovery.
The second prince raised his eyebrows, then turned around and asked Baili Yunzheng: "How can I see that this lock was pried open in early summer, what if it was opened by Concubine Jing's people?" ”
Baili Yunzheng shook his head, lifted the lock, and showed it to the second prince: "You see, there are a lot of scratches around this lock, and the lines inside the lock hole have also been damaged to a certain extent, which shows that it was not opened with the matching key, but opened by brute force with the help of similar objects." ”
After listening to this, the second prince agreed with Baili Yunzheng's guess, and asked, "What about Concubine Jing?" Otherwise......"
The second prince hinted. Baili Yunzheng and the second prince exchanged glances, and both of them had only one answer in their hearts - to kill Concubine Jing to prevent future troubles and prevent her from hurting Li Chuxia again.
Concubine Jing saw that Baili Yunzheng and the second prince had discovered the strangeness of the cage, and her heart was even more anxious, and suddenly her heart moved, and a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes full of meanness, but she quickly disappeared.
Baili Yunzheng and the second prince returned to the center of the courtyard after discussing and prepared to end Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing was secretly stunned when she saw the two of them coming back.
"Concubine Jing, don't blame us for being unrighteous if you are unkind, you have made things difficult for Li Chuxia several times, and you have lost and lost Chuxia today, we can't bear it anymore, since Li Chuxia is not with you, you have no value, I hope you will repent under the Yellow Spring!"
Baili Yunzheng finished saying this sentence without a trace of warmth, and drew his sword to wipe Concubine Jing's neck.
"Alas, alas! Wait a minute! Concubine Jing fell to the ground in fright, blocking herself with her hands, but now that she was speaking, her tone was still so bitter, "General Baili, you have to say something well, if you kill me in a hurry now, it will be difficult for Li Chuxia to live......"
"What do you mean! Don't pretend to be pretty, I'll kill you right now! The second prince finally couldn't get used to Concubine Jing's virtue, and yelled at her.
Concubine Jing seemed to be holding some important weight in her hand, gently raised her eyes and glanced at the second prince, and said: "Don't worry, although this Li Chuxia is playing tricks and escaped under my nose, but she still has the poisonous Gu I planted for her, this poison is incomprehensible, but in three months, she will die of poison!" ”
Concubine Jing's words made Baili Yunzheng and the second prince angry, and Baili Yunzheng dragged Concubine Jing up from the ground and asked sharply, "Where is the antidote?" Say it! Where the hell is it? ”
Baili Yunzheng lifted Concubine Jing into the air like a chicken, and his eyes shot out two sharp rays of light, staring straight at Concubine Jing, not giving an inch, and the momentum was compelling.
Concubine Jing was trembling with fright again, but she still wanted to probe Baili Yunzheng's patience again, so she deliberately looked away and pretended to be tough and said, "Is this the attitude you have when you ask for someone?" The antidote is in my hands, if I don't give it, your Li Chuxia is a dead end, you can think about it! Although Concubine Jing pretended to be calm, her voice still trembled violently.
Baili Yunzheng watched Concubine Jing finish this sentence unhurriedly, the anger in his heart was about to gush out of his throat, he looked at Concubine Jing deadly, and the strength of his five fingertips became stronger and stronger.
His eyes suddenly darkened, the strength of his hand loosened, and he threw Concubine Jing directly to the ground, making Concubine Jing fall and grin strangely.
Before Concubine Jing could react, Baili Yunzheng drew his sword again, pressed it against Concubine Jing's neck, and threatened: "Do you say it or not?" ”
Concubine Jing looked at Baili Yunzheng and really couldn't bear it, so she had to draw the last hole card.
Concubine Jing gritted her teeth, rubbed the arms and legs that she had fallen just now, and replied: "You go to my study, there is a dark grid on the south wall, push open my pen and ink shelf, you can see that the antidote is there......" Before Concubine Jing finished speaking, Baili Yunzheng ran straight to the study.
Concubine Jing smiled secretly in her heart, thinking: The Baili General who strategizes and conquers the battlefield is nothing more than that, and I will see how fierce you can be later.
Concubine Jing calculated in her heart, and hurriedly followed Baili Yunzheng.
Baili Yunzheng came to the study, turned around, and didn't see what Concubine Jing said, and his heart was even more anxious.
"Is she lying to me and deliberately delaying time!" Baili Yunzheng's anger rose again.
Baili Yunzheng was about to go out, and then questioned Concubine Jing, when he saw Concubine Jing coming up with him alone, he was suspicious, but the most important thing at the moment was to find the antidote.
"Concubine Jing, where do you have any pen and ink shelves in this study? I'm afraid that you haven't been here to read the scriptures and verses in ordinary times, and I don't want to cherish the study and the people who study pen and ink diligently. Baili Yunzheng did not forget to satirize Concubine Jing twice, and she was heart-wrenching.
Concubine Jing heard Baili Yunzheng sarcastically mocking herself, and her anger rushed to the top of her head at once, but when she thought about it again, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.
Concubine Jing flattened her mouth and replied to Baili Yunzheng: "General Baili, you really have bad eyes, what are you looking at?" Baili Yunzheng followed the direction pointed by Concubine Jing, looked back, and found that there was indeed a "pen and ink shelf", but it should be called an inkstone.
I thought it was a shelf for storing rare ink pens, but I didn't expect it to be Concubine Jing's mental problem. Baili Yunzheng couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't have the heart to argue with Concubine Jing anymore.
"You move the shelf away and you can see the secret door next to the table, and press the front button twice and it will open. The antidote, it's inside. Concubine Jing was secretly happy in her heart, and said word by word.
