Chapter 125: Dark Night
Bai Xining sat by the palace lamp and looked at the scroll in his hand, and Gu Zi'an watched the beautiful woman wearing a lotus pink dress not far away, with green silk hanging down her shoulders and a little powder.
"What do you see, Your Majesty?"
Gu Zi'an closed the scroll, "You have checked it today, is there any omission in what the jailer said?" ”
Bai Xining shook his head at the eyes that Gu Zi'an was thinking about: "There is no omission, and that day was also seen by my sister with her own eyes, so it is absolutely impossible to be fake." Zhao Yien's body did move a little, and I suspect ......," she paused, "maybe someone killed him." Zhao Yien's death was not like he committed suicide by eating a simple poison, his white bones were exposed, and his body was hideous and distorted, which made me think of it...... The powder in his house. ”
He nodded, "Thanks to you, otherwise this imperial doctor of Beiyang would be helpless with these strange medicines." ”
"People who take the powder have different times of onset depending on the dose. It's like those officers and soldiers only inhaled a little, and it took a few hours before they became ill. If the dose is increased, the person will die in a few moments. It looks like it's the same poison. Although I haven't seen it, I've heard of Yan Rong's potions in witchcraft. Bai Xining knows Yan Rong well and is confident.
"It seems that Yan Rong really can't get out of it this time."
Bai Xining smiled: "Originally, Yan Rong relied on these witchcraft to control people's hearts and develop and grow. Maybe he originally wanted something and unknowingly stretched out his hand to the court, seeing that Gu Chongwu and the Zhao family were about to stabilize the throne, who knows...... People are not as good as heaven...... Such a medicine, if there is an antidote, it is enough to control people's hearts, if not, it is enough to cause chaos when you are sick. When the time comes, the corpses will be all over the field, and they will be able to control the situation from thousands of miles away. ”
The moonlight flowed, and Gu Zi was calm.
Chun Xia pushed the door in and brought a plate of fried dumplings with snowflakes and wild vegetables, "Your Majesty, White Girl." This fried dumpling has just been made in the kitchen, the skin is crispy, the vegetables and meat are delicious, come and try it. It's still a long day, how can you stay up all night? ”
Bai Xining stretched out his hand and tasted one, "Made in spring and summer, it's really delicious." ”
Chunxia blushed and smiled, and her eyes caught a glimpse of the gauze on Bai Xining's wrist, "Yo, what's the matter?" ”
Bai Xining: "It's okay, today I didn't go to see the pheasant that I bought back the day before yesterday, and I was accidentally scratched when I was making the cage, so it won't get in the way." ”
"Oh, that hurts, I have to ask the imperial doctor to take a look."
"It's okay, it's just a small wound."
Gu Zi'an's mind suddenly came to the image of Bai Xining stepping on the iron cage last night, rolling up his sleeves, his hair was slightly messy, and his eyes were firm. On the noble and gentle face, it shows a rare "toughness". Although she doesn't know martial arts, the momentum of her movements is not that of a soft and weak woman.
Even though she sat quietly opposite, she always felt that a dragon would burst out of her body.
That night, Bai Xining didn't know it, but it subverted her image in Gu Zi'an's mind.
Gu Zi'an nodded indifferently and smiled: "There is no harm in being careful." He suddenly thought of something again, and said, "Today I have sent you a string of wind chimes, made of yak bones, which sound bulky, but they are thinner than paper." The spring breeze is gradually warming, and the ringtone is pleasant, just right for you. ”
Bai Xining was slightly stunned, but he also knew it.
The two sat opposite each other in the hall, with green lights like beans.
"What people!" Someone outside the hall suddenly shouted, and I heard Hongyue's child's voice babbling.
The three of them pushed the door out, and there was already a crowd of guards outside, who were holding long swords and searching for the strange figure that had just passed by the dark sky. Hongyue saw Gu Zi'an come out, bowed, and said calmly: "Just now I saw a figure flash from the roof, and it was not a big bird, it was indeed a figure. Now all of a sudden, it's gone again. ”
"The palace is tight, how can you come and go at will." Spring and Summer frowned.
Gu Zi'an smiled, but it wasn't mocking, "Strict, strict, didn't we come in too?" ”
"Your Majesty." Chun Xia couldn't feel his interest, and lowered his head slightly and didn't dare to speak.
Gu Zi'an looked at the dark sky and said, "Check, how did this person get into the palace." All the gates are sealed, not even a single bird! ”
"No."
The crowd went to look for it.
Bai Xining instructed: "I'm afraid that the tiger will be diverted from the mountain, and some more people will be added around this dormitory, just in case." ”
"Just do as you say."
The door was closed, and the outside was chaotic and isolated, and the atmosphere inside the room was still the same as before. Bai Xining knew that Hongyue had something to say, so he asked, "Everyone has gone out." What is there to talk about inconveniently? ”
Hongyue knelt on one knee, but his expression was not like that of a child, he pondered for a while, but he didn't know whether to talk or not. Gu Zi'an's tone was relaxed, "Say it, and I won't blame you." If you don't report it, you will delay it. ”
"Yes." Hongyue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "I've been in the palace these days, so I'm familiar with the guards or palace maids. The figure just now, although wearing a night suit, I suspect that it is someone from the palace. Your Majesty, you are really atoning for your sins, and you have no evidence, but you are speculating. But......" His lowered eyes were a little dim, for fear of blame.
Gu Zi'an nodded, he had some outlines of ideas in his heart, and this was confirmed.
"You stand down first."
"No."
Hongyue bowed and left, Bai Xining looked at Gu Zi'an's somewhat gloomy face, "If you go back to what you said just now, I'm afraid there are people from Yan Rong in the palace." At the beginning, it could be used as a surveillance Zhao Chai, but now it is very easy to poison Zhao Yien and assassinate His Majesty. It may be an old man in the palace, or it may be a round of rotation, I don't know how many Yan Rong people there are in the palace. Bai Xining suddenly thought of something, "Spring and summer!" ”
Spring and Summer frowned, thinking carefully about what dangerous things were happening around her.
Bai Xining stood up: "You go and replace Your Majesty's bed, curtains, vases, and used toiletries." The mattress was delivered to my room, and I needed to inspect it carefully. She spoke firmly, tilted her head slightly in submission, and raised her eyes to Gu Zi's thoughtful eyes.
"How can there be so many unfortunate things." Chunxia muttered quietly, she had been following Gu Zi for a long time, and it was normal to complain when she was afraid.
The girl smiled: "Life is up and down, relying on the number of days, luck and misfortune, and also depends on creation." ”
He waved his hand, and Chun Xia did the same.
Bai Xining retreated, hurried out with Chun Xia, and gently closed the door again.
Gu Zi'an looked at the girl's back, and her heart felt as if she was warmed by vines. Meng Yining has been with him for a long time, and in the danger of walking on thin ice again and again, the two have developed a tacit understanding, and they know the object's thoughts with one look. Even though she has become a slim girl, she is always like a sister who she has to take care of.
And Bai Xining, with a smile and a smile, made him feel very relieved.
It seemed as if he could hand over his side to her.
The bright moon is like frost.
Life is full of ups and downs, and you can't rely on days.
