230 Ways in the book
"With those palace maids waiting, where can I use your delicate hands."
Beigong Yu chuckled, his eyes fell on Ye Qiuyu's little face, which was already a little red, he couldn't tell how annoying it was, but he couldn't mention how interested he was.
"It is the blessing of concubines to be able to serve the emperor, where can we talk about being delicate."
The palace maid came up with the night soup, and she pulled Beigong Yu to sit down, "This is the concubine who just boiled it out, and it is added with soothing honey, the emperor can taste it?" β
Beigong Yu had just tasted a mouthful of the sweet soup, and the door was suddenly pushed open, there was really no one in this palace who dared to be so bold, Ye Qiuyu had already scolded, "Who is so bold?" Pingshun doesn't drag people out yet! β
Rong Ce was slightly injured when he fought with someone just now, so he was anxious to look at the etiquette for a while, but when he thought about it, he couldn't delay it for a moment, so he hurriedly knelt down, "Damn it, see the emperor!" β
Because of the dim light in the hall, Beigong Yu only saw that the person who came was Rong Ce at this time, and Rong Ce was the person he personally ordered to accompany Xia Xiaoxiao in the dark with the company camp, and immediately a sense of foreboding came to his heart, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" β
Pingshun also rushed in from outside, and saw that Beigong Yu had already stood up from his position.
"Your Majesty, the Dusk Pavilion has been assassinated, and the noble concubine has been injured, the emperor should hurry over!"
"Smack!"
The porcelain bowl in Ye Qiuyu's hand fell to the ground, the soup splashed on the ground, Beigong Yu didn't even notice the abnormality of the person next to him, his face turned pale when he heard the word assassin, and he didn't even ask more, the person had directly stepped out of the Jade Palace.
"Your Majesty, clothes!"
Ping Shun saw that the person disappeared in the blink of an eye, and hurriedly took the coat on the clothes bar and chased after him, and while passing past Ye Qiuyu's side, he glanced back, and just saw a panic on Ye Qiuyu's face.
"Immediately Xuan Lu Wuxian come over!"
Beigong Yu took the clothes in Pingshun's hand and put them on the gloves, Pingshun immediately responded, and hurriedly walked in the other direction, the drum had already beaten in his heart, so decent, how could the Dusk Pavilion attract assassins?
"How is she?"
This is self-evident to her, but Rong Ce is not as good as Lianying, and she didn't even have time to meet Xia Xiaoxiao, so she only said truthfully, "With General Ji Xiao here, Niangniang seems to be injured a lot." β
This is not light, when Beigong Yu saw it with his own eyes, he knew what the extent was.
Beigong Yu and Lu Wuxian basically arrived at the Dusk Pavilion at the same time, what Beigong Yu saw at a glance was several black-clothed corpses lying horizontally and vertically in the Dusk Pavilion, the Dusk Pavilion was noisy, and those guards who rushed over after hearing the movement saw that Beigong Yu retreated to the side and bowed.
Lian Ying only came out of the back room after hearing the movement, most of his chest was stained with blood, Beigong Yu only glanced at it lightly, and a large haze had sunk in his eyes, "What about people?" β
"The mother is ...... inside"
Before Beigong Yu stepped into the house, he heard a burst of abnormal panting of women, and even a little crying, Beigong Yu suddenly paused, reacted smoothly, and hurriedly scolded loudly, "What are you still standing for!" Don't hurry up and pull the corpses down! β
Beigong Yu glanced at the company camp fiercely, and he didn't even have time to say anything superfluous, and he had already calmly faced the inner room.
Lu Wuxian knew that something was wrong as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly followed Beigong Yu's footsteps.
"Erxiao, you wait...... Don't bite yourself......"
However, before the two of them could cross the screen, they could hear Ji Lingnan's voice from the inside, Beigong Yu's face changed greatly, and even Lu Wuxian didn't know what was going on, Xia Xiaoxiao's voice was clearly wrong, at this time, how could that guy dare to stay in the house when he knew that Beigong Yu would come!
"Ji Lingnan!"
Beigong Yu crossed the screen, and at a glance saw Xia Xiaoxiao who was lying on the bed with his hands tied to the bedpost, his face was flushed, as if he was extremely uncomfortable and wanted to send his body to Ji Lingnan, Ji Lingnan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Xia Xiaoxiao's face with both hands, and kept saying some comforting words.
Where did Ji Lingnan come from to understand Beigong Yu's anger at this time, Xia Xiaoxiao is now only wearing such a thin veil that can barely cover his body, where can he lower Xia Xiaoxiao's body temperature with the coolness of his hands alone?
"Ji Lingnan, who gave you the guts to touch her!"
Beigong Yu stepped forward in two steps, before Ji Lingnan could react, a gust of palm wind fell to his chest, Ji Lingnan was born with that palm, his hand was not light, and he retreated several steps, Lu Wuxian didn't dare to come in before, but now he heard the movement and hurriedly came in to block in front of Ji Lingnan, fortunately, Xia Xiaoxiao still has the clothes covering her body now, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, Niangniang is afraid that she has been poisoned for a while, and the top priority is to solve the poison on Niangniang's body." β
Beigong Yu just glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao's abnormal face and probably knew what kind of poison he had been in, the fastest and most effective way to detoxify at this time was nothing more than him, and he couldn't care why Ji Lingnan hadn't left before he appeared, especially when he saw the blood that remained at the corner of Xia Xiaoxiao's mouth, his heart sank to the extreme.
Lu Wuxian didn't wait for Beigong Yu to speak, glanced at Ji Lingnan, pulled people and walked out.
After only taking two steps, Ji Lingnan glanced back at the rope that was untying Xia Xiaoxiao's hands, and said gloomily, "If something happens to her, whether you are the emperor or who, I have to get her back." β
Lu Wuxian was stunned, and his eyes fell on Ji Lingnan's face from the person in the bed, even if he hadn't known Ji Lingnan for a long time, he also knew that this man who had always been a fool of himself didn't mean to joke when he said this sentence at this time.
Beigong Yu made a movement in his hand, his eyes were covered with layers of darkness, and he said angrily, "Lu Wuxian, don't let me take someone out yet!" β
It's his person, where can he let people say half a word, Beigong Yu sneered at this time, do you want it back...... said that Xia Xiaoxiao is like who he is......
This time, Lu Wuxian didn't dare to go back, and ran away directly.
"North...... Beigong Yu ......"
Xia Xiaoxiao was a little frightened by the roar, but her whole body was still uncomfortably hot, and when she saw the person in front of her, she let out a soft cry, "Beigong Yu...... Why did you come here......"
She was about to die of misery, and she didn't want to think about anything, just urged him, "You...... Beigong Yu ...... You hurry up...... I'm uncomfortable......"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late......"
Beigong Yu didn't know how much effort it took to try to make himself appear calm in front of her, untied her hands, and when she saw the red marks on her wrists and the tears on her face, she was never afraid, and rubbed her into her arms, "I'm sorry, I'm late......"
He didn't even know if Ji Lingnan had done anything to her during the time he hadn't arrived, whether those people had seen her body, whether they had heard her seductive moans, and at this time, he couldn't even think about it, she needed it, so he could only press her under him, and he didn't even dare to ask extra words, just afraid that he would scare her.
If Xia Xiaoxiao was still a little conscious now, he would definitely be able to see the blood color gradually appearing in Beigong Yu's eyes.
The people outside the Dusk Pavilion had been evacuated, causing Lu Wuxian and Ji Lingnan to walk out when the entire courtyard was empty, only those glass lamps that were still lonely and lit.
"I have a courtyard in the palace, you can go with me for the time being."
Lu Wuxian just wanted to find a quiet place quickly, his hand held Ji Lingnan's wrist, and he was about to turn around and ask if he could still perform light skills, but the next moment his shoulder was already held by the person behind him, Ji Lingnan leaned towards him almost the whole person, as soon as he turned around, he hurriedly supported his body that he was about to fall, and his eyes fell on his arms, chest and even several other blood-stained wounds, and the solemnity between his eyebrows deepened.
"Find something closer."
I saw that Ji Lingnan's face was still a little normal, and at this time, it was also a little abnormally red, even a little more serious than Xia Xiaoxiao's, and he even spoke with a rough breath.
"Damn it!"
Lu Wuxian cursed, Ji Lingnan This is obviously a sign with Xia Xiaoxiao, and he can't care about any grievances between the two of them at the moment, he still has some kind of benevolence among the doctors, and dragged Ji Lingnan's weight on him almost as a whole person towards the side hall of the Dusk Pavilion.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and the subordinates in the Dusk Pavilion had already been drugged by those assassins and fell asleep, and at this time, there was no one in the side hall, Lu Wuxian laboriously pushed the door open, took Ji Lingnan to the bed, and put his hand on his pulse.
"Take off your clothes first, and then endure it for a while, it will take me half an hour to force the medicinal properties out."
As he spoke, he quickly withdrew his hand, turned around and fetched water from the side hall, took out the fine needle he brought from his arms, lit the candle directly, put the long needle on the candle flame and roasted it back and forth, everything went in an orderly manner.
"Isn't it generally said that there is no cure for this kitsch? Do you have to do the joy of fish and water to get rid of it? β
Ji Lingnan put one hand on his forehead and tried his best to keep himself awake, but the medicine was too fierce, he and Xia Xiaoxiao inhaled the incense for several hours, and he was not relieved when Xia Xiaoxiao was poisoned, after all, Xia Xiaoxiao's physical resistance was not as good as that of a man, but when he also found out that the momentum was wrong, he raised his internal force to suppress the heat, otherwise he really didn't guarantee that he would not do anything to Xia Xiaoxiao when both of them were poisoned.
But the consequence is that when he reaches the limit with the suppression of internal force, the medicinal properties will speed up several times and come back, so that Rao is a person like Ji Lingnan who feels that he has good self-control, and now he has a double image when he looks at Lu Wuxian's side face.
"I see that you are the same as Xia Xiaoxiao, and I have read too many books outside the palace, and there is no one in this world who I can't solve the poison, but for the noble concubine, it is inconvenient for me to apply needles on her body, not to mention that the emperor is here, and it is not my turn to do it."
It stands to reason that people who have been poisoned by this kind of poison are indeed the most appropriate, fast and effective way to detoxify them, but Ji Lingnan is no better than Xia Xiaoxiao, he can't just let Ji Lingnan detoxify, just pull a palace maid in this palace to detoxify him and ruin other people's innocence.
However, in the next moment, a strong force came towards him, and Lu Wuxian was pushed down on the bed by surprise because he was defenseless, Ji Lingnan directly covered it with a pair of red eyes, and realized something, Lu Wuxian didn't think about it, so he struck at him with a silver needle at his fingertips.
Ji Lingnan pointed at the wind, and suddenly fell to Lu Wuxian's chest, and the silver needle in Lu Wuxian's hand was half a finger away from Ji Lingnan's neck.
"Ji Lingnan, what are you doing!"
Lu Wuxian was pointed, and he could only watch Ji Lingnan's movements almost rudely snatch away the silver needle in his hand, and his eyes were covered with unbelievable shock.
"Master thinks that it may be faster to talk about the method in the book......"
Ji Lingnan threw his hand, and the silver needle stabbed towards the flickering candle center!
The only light in the side hall was also extinguished, there were no stars and no moons, and I couldn't even see the faces of the people in front of me.
Lu Wuxian never thought that this would be the biggest mistake in his life!
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
By the time the first rays of morning light fell into the Pavilion of Twilight, everything was so calm that one almost forgot what had happened last night.
Beigong Yu stayed awake all night in the first two nights, coupled with the consumption of last night, which caused him to gradually wake up at noon and moon, while Xia Xiaoxiao was physically and mentally tired last night, I don't know if the effect of the medicine has not faded, or if he is really too tired, there is still no tendency to wake up when Beigong Yu wakes up.
Only when he saw that her face had returned to normal compared to last night, and the sound of her breathing sounding steady, did Beigong Yu resist the urge not to wake her up.
But when Beigong Yu lifted the quilt and saw the red marks on the delicate and fair skin of the woman lying in his arms, his eyes sank again.
He is very familiar with those medicines, and there are many concubines in the harem who want to use that medicine to get favored, but that medicine has always been a forbidden thing in the palace, and the palace concubines who have used the means before only use it as an aphrodisiac, but Xia Xiaoxiao ...... It's clearly for human life!
Thinking of this, Beigong Yu directly lifted the quilt and got up, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed, "Where are you?" β
Even the voice was still hoarse and coquettish in the morning, Beigong Yu turned to look at her, and the gloom between his eyebrows was instantly replaced by a pampering, "Awake?" β
Xia Xiaoxiao only felt like her whole body was about to fall apart now, and she vaguely remembered what happened last night, but it was only before Beigong Yu arrived, and after the effect of the medicine had passed.
"Sleep a little longer, it's noon, I'll go and tell the imperial dining room to make some repairs."
Beigong Yu said that he was about to take her hand away and put it in the quilt.
Xia Xiaoxiao still grabbed him reluctantly, I don't know if it was because he had just woken up or something, his eyes were still red, "I'm not hungry, you accompany me ......"
Beigong Yu twisted his eyebrows, but he still lay down again according to his words and got into the quilt, "Does it still hurt?" β
His hand wrapped around her waist, inch by inch to caress the body that he ravaged miserably last night, a trace of unbearable spilled out from between his eyebrows, the effect of the medicine was heavy, no matter how he controlled it afterwards, she must have been hurt.
Xia Xiaoxiao just shook her head, didn't say a word in a row, and hugged Beigong Yu's waist, she only felt that her brain was almost a mess now, who wanted to kill her, who would give her such a medicine, did the person who drugged her just want her to be poisoned, or did he know that Ji Lingnan was in her Dusk Pavilion, so he did it on purpose, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't even dare to think about if Beigong Yu didn't come in time last night......
Thinking like this, the man fell into a deep sleep again.
Beigong Yu didn't get out of bed until the person in his arms heard the sound of even breathing again, and a smooth sound sounded outside the door, then he got out of bed, put on his coat, and walked out of the Dusk Pavilion, his eyes were already a cold chill.
"Who drugged it, can you find out?"
"Back to the emperor, that medicine is sold exclusively in a pharmacy outside the palace, and the whole capital has that one, and according to the palace maid who was in the Dusk Pavilion yesterday, Lord Xia and Mrs. Xia were in the back room when they sent something yesterday, and this thing was mixed with agarwood, and it was ......."
"Getting to the point."
Beigong Yu was a little impatient just by listening,
"The thing was sent in the name of Concubine Ye."
Ping Shun said cautiously, glanced up slightly, and just saw Beigong Yu's gloomy face.
He didn't dare to say more, this matter was accidentally killed, but he also didn't believe that Ye Guifei could do such a bold thing, after all, although that thing had been sent in the name of Ye Guifei, there must have been a lot of people in the middle, and no one dared to guarantee that no one had touched it, but if you add the fact that Ye Guifei suddenly went to the imperial study last night and stopped Beigong Yu to the Jade Palace......
Speaking of which, if you want to be coquettish or go to the imperial study to wait for someone, the person who wants to do it in the palace should only do it with a temperament like Shu Changhua, but last night it was Ye Guifei who was not very favored and only obediently stayed in the Jade Hall in those years, only this point, which has given birth to a lot of strange things.
Beigong Yu sighed, and ordered someone to bring the palace maid who sent things over last night to the torture room for interrogation, and looked at the woman smoothly and lightly, it was indeed the maid of the Jade Palace, I am afraid that even if it was not Ye Guifei's doing, I am afraid that it will not be able to get out of it.
It's just an ordinary torture room, not as good as the ones that interrogated Yun Ji and Helian Chi before, but those punishment tools are just as many.
Beigong Yu didn't have the heart to listen to the interrogation process of these little minions, so he left it all to Wuxi, he just glanced at the palace maid who was tied to the iron pillar by iron chains, turned around and returned to the Dusk Pavilion.
There was still some sunshine in the morning, but at this time it was already raining lightly.
On a gloomy day, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the bedding that had cooled down on his side, and a cool breeze blew in from outside, and this day began to enter autumn.
A little drizzle poured in through the crack in the door, Xia Xiaoxiao shivered, wrapped the quilt on her body, sat up, and looked at the continuous drizzle through the window in a daze.
There was such a big commotion in the Dusk Pavilion last night, but now the blood stains on the ground have been washed away by the rain, and even the tables, chairs, and stools in the house have been replaced with new ones.
Who should want her life, Murong Tinglian?
The name only came to mind, Xia Xiaoxiao shook his head and denied it, as Beigong Yu once said, with Murong Tianlian's martial arts, it was not even difficult to enter and exit her Dusk Pavilion with Murong Tianlian's martial arts, and besides, he didn't want her life for a day or two, so why bother looking for some assassins to do this kind of shady deed?
Xia Xiaoxiao stroked her forehead, which was a little painful, and suddenly remembered that the last time Murong Qianlian appeared in the palace, she glanced at her wrist, and at that time Murong Tianlian had said that he had detoxified her...... It's someone in the palace who wants to harm her!
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that Ji Lingnan was with her last night, but when she woke up at this time, she didn't see the other half of the figures, so she hurriedly called Qingyue.
After calling several times and no one answered, she was dressed and about to go out, when a palace maid came in from outside and knelt in front of her, "What do you command?" β
"Where's Qingyue?"
Xia Xiaoxiao glanced out, only to find that there were many guards guarding outside the Dusk Pavilion, but there were only a few palace maids, all of whom were faces she had never seen, and Qingyue was nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Gong didn't know if she had just come from Xin's Courtyard or from another courtyard, as if she was a little afraid of her mother, and she also spoke with a trill, "Return, go back to Niangniang...... Sister Qingyue and several other sisters in the palace have gone to the torture hall, and the emperor has ordered the slaves and maids to wait for you to bathe after the mother wakes up. β
As he spoke, he arranged for someone to bring hot water in.
"The Temple of Torture?"
Xia Xiaoxiao just tied her hand with her clothes belt, and her fierce eyes stared at the submissive little palace maid in front of her.
"Yes, Niangniang, because of the negligence of the guards last night, those assassins had a chance to take advantage of it, so everyone who was in the Dusk Pavilion last night was summoned by the emperor to the torture hall."
The little palace maid was shocked, thinking that she had accidentally said something that should not be said, and knelt on the ground with weak knees, and hurriedly explained Beigong Yu's original words, now that the palace has been assassinated, it is not a trivial matter, plus today's posture of the mighty guards who came to the Dusk Pavilion and took everyone away, is because it is the person in front of her who is going to be injured, where does she still have half of the guts?
"He suspects that he is from my palace!"
Xia Xiaoxiao was shocked, and her whole face immediately sank, there were not many people in her palace, although she didn't know about others, but Qingyue would never go to that place again, the torture hall, the place where people were tortured and interrogated, was not much better than the damp cell, Qingyue had suffered a lot of flesh injuries because of her before, how could she go to that place again this time?
didn't care about the palace maid who was still kneeling and the bath that was already ready, she put on her coat and walked out.
"I just got up, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Before the person went out, he bumped into a strong chest head-on, Xia Xiaoxiao walked too quickly and hit too hard, so he heard a muffled snort, and then his whole person fell backwards, Beigong Yu held her waist with a gaze, "When can you stop being so anxious?" β
"Where's Qingyue?"
Xia Xiaoxiao could still hear what he said, held Beigong Yu's arm and held his figure and asked.
"I just asked someone to take it over and ask you, why are you in such a hurry?" Beigong Yu hugged her horizontally, and glanced at her unhappily, "Or do you think her life is more important than yours?" β
Qingyue doesn't matter to Xia Xiaoxiao whether it's important or not, he only cares who dares to touch him under his nose.
