Chapter Forty-Six: The Truth Is Chilling

Murong Jin lay on the couch for three days before he could barely go out and walk around. Not very strong, but still standing firm.

The spring is warm and the sun is gently slanting down, making people look a little refreshed.

If the catkins rose due to the wind, Murong Jin saw the white shadow leaning on the willow tree from a distance, so he instructed a few palace people behind him: "You are here, I will go and walk." ”

"It seems that His Highness is recovering well," Bai Xiying smiled at Murong Jin, "In a few days, I will be able to go back to the School Palace to study." ”

"Why is the gentleman here today?"

Bai Xiying said slowly: "I will leave for Nanyue tomorrow, and I will come to the palace today to say goodbye to Lord Si Le, and come to see His Highness by the way." ”

"Sir, know I'm coming here today?"

"Guess, try your luck."

Murong Jin could probably guess a little bit about the rumors in the palace, but he still couldn't help asking: "Sir, do you know that behind this incident, is it really as rumored to hear?" ”

"It's true that Concubine Xian wants to harm you, and it's true that Zhong Hongyuan ordered Zhong Hongyuan to do something in your prescription, but Zhong Hongyuan added soul extinguishing grass to your medicine, and what you have is indeed poisonous."

Murong Jin looked at him puzzled, "What does Mr. mean......"

"Soul extinguishing grass is a chronic poison that must be taken for a long time, while Soul Extinguishing Grass is a strong poison that will attack three or four hours after taking it. You can't sleep at night for a while, you can't sleep in your dreams, you don't have any energy during the day, that's the effect of the soul extinguishing grass. However, after that period of time, are there no more of these symptoms? ”

"If it wasn't that medicine that didn't work, or Imperial Doctor Zhong didn't use the soul extinguishing grass anymore, did Zhong Hongyuan no longer obey Concubine Xian's orders, or did Concubine Xian give up her plan?"

Bai Xiying asked him rhetorically, "Do you know, Qi Ying, what kind of poison it is?" ”

"What poison?"

"That's ......" Bai Xiying straightened up and said in a low voice, "The unique poison of the Northern Qi royal family, used for the test of the prince and the princess, of course, only the Northern Qi royal family has the antidote." For now, only I have the antidote. ”

"The antidote is ......"

"Yan Yi is really from Northern Qi, I can't come forward in person, so I gave him an antidote, but fortunately, his medical skills are good and he has researched a prescription. A few days ago, Your Majesty was already doubting my identity, and if it weren't for the help of nobles, it would be really difficult to get out. ”

Murong Jin didn't speak for a long time, he felt that something in his chest was shattered and crystalline, empty, as if he had lost something very important, and his heart festered like pain.

Those things that are not willing to accept are laid out in front of them. He thought that even if things are wrong, even if they can't escape and backfire, some things are still there.

Those warm and beautiful memories, those trance happiness, have become jokes!

Murong Jin breathed a long sigh of relief, suppressed some of the emotions in his heart, and said lightly: "So, you are gambling with my life, right?" ”

Bai Xiying couldn't bear to look away, and listened to him continue: "If you win the bet, you will kill two birds with one stone, not only suppressing Concubine Xian and the Lin family, but also leading to the remnants of Northern Qi, even if you lose, it is just the death of an insignificant person......

"You know about the loss of heart," Bai Xiying changed the subject, "Have you ever counted how many grains of braised lake your mother left for you?" ”

"More than half a hundred."

"The older you get, the more frequent your seizures become. That medicine, if you can take less, take less. Blanching the lake is sad and life-threatening," Bai Xiying sighed, "Ordinary people can't hold a hundred." ”

Murong Jin said in a low voice, "I remember." ”

"The chamberlain who always follows you, do you trust him very much?" Bai Xiying asked suddenly.

Murong Jin said: "Dongxian is the one left behind by his mother. ”

"I don't necessarily believe in him too much," Bai Xiying reached out and took a ball of catkins that happened to fall, "People's hearts, change." Sometimes in the face of life and death, the morality of the family and the country is also worthless. ”

Murong Jin lowered his head slightly, "Got it." ”

"Have you ever thought about becoming a prince and an emperor in the future?"

"I don't want to-" Murong Jin secretly wiped the tears that were about to overflow his eyes, "In the future, if you can live to the crown, you can also ask for a county king, no matter the size of the fief, it is always better to leave this big thorn city first." ”

Bai Xiying said again: "But only when you become stronger, can you protect the things you like and protect the people you care about." ”

"Then be a ruthless person and give up those ties!" Murong Jin said coldly.

Bai Xiying smiled: "If you can really do what you say in the future, it will be good." But how easy is that?

"Will you come back, sir?"

"I'll see you again."

……

When Bai Xiying turned to leave, there was a gust of wind, and the catkins were rolled up and floated gently into the distance.

The cyan back, in the light of the sky, is peerless, elegant and decisive.

Such a person will make people think of a literati who writes poems and paintings, a humble son of an aristocratic family, and a leisurely gentleman who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but it will never make people think that this is a prince of a dead country who plays with power.

The wind blew his eyes a little dry, Murong Jin wiped the tears that had dried with the corner of his sleeve, and returned to the Floating Moon Palace with an expressionless face.

Murong Jin didn't have much appetite that day, so he just drank the medicine and rested.

I finally fell asleep, but I suddenly woke up and couldn't sleep again.

It was completely dark, and Murong Jin was only wearing a middle coat, and sat on the couch for a long time, staring at the window pane in a daze.

A figure suddenly came out of the side room, but he walked out......

Since Murong Jin fell into the water, there was only one person living in the side house of the inner courtyard - Dong Xian!
