Chapter Forty-Eight: The Identity of the Man in Black
Looking over with the coolness, Wu Chunqiu saw Bai Lihe's warning eyes.
In the end, he touched his nose and sat back down, snorting arrogantly, and didn't make any more trouble.
Calm returned to the room, and Adile continued to speak, her eyes not knowing where to stare and falling into memory.
When Dimer and his younger brother Merrier were vying for the throne, Adile was still in the palace.
At that time, everyone in the palace knew that Dimel was in love with a female official, and McRill was no exception.
At the height of the battle for the throne, McRiel sensed that he was at a disadvantage and planned to use Adile to distract him.
Adile's influence on Dimer at that time was still quite large, and if Adil had anything to do, Dimer would definitely not have the heart to think about anything else.
In this way, if Dimmer makes any mistakes, he will not find out his problems before doing things, and he will not be able to compete with him for the throne when the time comes.
When the poison was placed, Adile himself did not know, the dose of poison at that time was too small, and it was very discovered.
When Adile found out, she didn't know how long the poison had been in her body.
At that time, Adil was busy with everything and was eating in his dormitory.
Adile sat at the table, followed by a grandmother, and the only sound in the dormitory was the sound of Adile moving chopsticks.
Suddenly, Adil suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his hand, lost consciousness for a moment, couldn't bear the weight of the rice bowl in his hand, and fell to the ground.
"Your Excellency!"
The dishes and chopsticks were broken on the ground by Adile, and Mama Mo exclaimed in surprise, looking to see if Adillai's hand was injured by fragments.
"It's okay, you just clean up here."
Adile was not hurt, but was frightened, and the feeling of powerlessness in his hand just now had disappeared at this time.
So Adilai just thought that he was careless and hallucinated.
Mama looked at Adile's appearance, and suddenly became distracted, naturally she didn't hear Adillai talking to her.
"Mama?"
Seeing that Mama hadn't spoken for a long time, Adilai frowned slightly, looked at the old Mama behind her, and her tone was full of doubt.
But as soon as she turned around, she saw that Mama had come back to her senses, but there was a slightly unnatural look on her face, dodging Adile's gaze.
Now, Adile felt that something was wrong, and this grandmother had been fine before.
Breaking dishes and chopsticks is just a normal thing, how could it make her so wrong?
"Mama, but what happened?"
Adile vaguely guessed a little, but she was a little reluctant to believe it, after all, Mama had been with her for a long time, and she should not do anything to hurt her.
But in the next second, Mama knelt directly on the ground, which caught Adil off guard.
"Mama, what are you doing here?"
Adile's brows furrowed even deeper, could it be that Mama really did something?
"My lord, it's the old slave I'm sorry for you, you better leave the palace quickly!"
Mama knelt on the ground and did not look up, but Adile could hear the embarrassment and crying in Mama's tone.
"I'll talk about something when I get up." When Adil heard these words, she also knew that something had happened, so she asked Mama to stand up first.
But Mama didn't want to, so you knelt on the ground: "My lord, you better leave quickly, Prince Merrill grabbed the old slave's family, threatened the old slave, and asked the old slave to drug you." ”
As soon as these words came out, Adil was stunned, looking at Mama's eyes with a touch of disbelief, not believing that he would be quietly poisoned.
"The adult's reaction just now is because of the drug, four, so, my lord, you better hurry up and go, don't come back!"
Adile looked at his hands and fell into deep thought.
Now she was too powerless to resist McRiel, and she had no possibility of confronting McRiel, so she left the palace.
"Isn't it possible that you didn't think about going to Demer and telling him about it?"
After listening to this story, Qin Mengyu couldn't help but wonder.
Adile smiled self-deprecatingly, with sadness in his eyes.
"As I said earlier, Merrill poisoned me to distract Demer, and if I go to him, won't that be a distraction to McRiel's heart? That's why I left the palace and wandered around. ”
At this point in the story, Bai Lihe, Qin Mengyu and Wu Chunqiu also knew the true identity of Adil and the others, and couldn't help but sigh.
The story of Adile can be said to be very tortuous, and after leaving the palace, he was not at peace.
"And the day we first met you, what happened?"
At the beginning, Adil asked Bai Lihe and Qin Mengyu for help, and Adilai was chased and killed by a man in black at that time.
The man in black that day.
Could it be that the officers and soldiers of these two days were all instructed by the same person?
In the next second, Adile's words directly made Bailihe and them understand everything.
"Because of my disappearance, Digmer ascended to the throne, and not only Digmel is looking for me, but Makriel has naturally been inquiring about me."
Adil sighed and paused: "The man in black you saw, like that group of officers and soldiers, was sent by Merrill to arrest me, but I didn't expect that after so long, he still didn't give up using me to obtain the throne." ”
Qin Mengyu and Bai Lihe also fell silent, but Adile revealed his true identity, which dispelled Bai Lihe's doubts.
There is no need for Adil to lie to them, if they want to confirm the truth of this matter, it will naturally be very easy.
After saying all this, Adile's heart was also a lot lighter.
In the past few days, she has never taken the initiative to mention these things, and now that she said it, she didn't have such a heavy heart as before.
At this moment, Qin Mengyu, Bai Lihe, Wu Chunqiu, and Adil also confessed their identities to each other.
Hearing her say this, Bailihe also has a general understanding of the ins and outs of the whole thing, but it is not difficult for him to think about it more because of the doubts.
For example, he knew the royal information of the Western Regions so casually.
This is not just a simple royal civil strife, there are many places where spies can be sent, and Adile has no reason to help them, and they do not have enough reason to gain Adile's trust.
"Then, the woman in the cloak we met on the street that day should not be you." Bai Lihe said suddenly, Adilai had been staying at the inn with Qin Mengyu that day, if that woman was her, many of the doubts would not make sense.
And if you think about it, this woman must be not light.
"It's not me, indeed." Adile replied calmly.
It's just that there is something else to be said about the events of that day.
"At that time, the officers and soldiers had already surrounded the inn, and in order for me to escape, I asked my maid to disguise herself as me to attract attention in the street."
Bailihe just wanted to come to such a conclusion, but Adilai suddenly lowered his eyes and pondered, as if he had thought of something.
If you want to say something, if you do it for the first time, some people may still believe it, but after doing too much, it is easy for people to see the flaws.
Since the younger brother of the new emperor has the courage to usurp the throne, he is not a stupid person.
"Actually, it's not the first time I've sent a maid out to confuse the public, and I'm afraid that person is aware of it."
"The cloak woman you saw that day may not be my maid." Adil had just finished speaking when he was interrupted by Bailihe.
At this time, several people were standing on the street watching the people around them, and it was hard to guarantee that there would be officers and soldiers around them staring at them.
It is too dangerous to say these words at this time, Qin Mengyu has been listening to the two of them since just now, and has been paying attention to the surrounding environment, and at this time, he has been staring at the family with little flow, looking at the clean tea stall.
"It happens to be hot recently, so it's better to drink a bowl of herbal tea to reduce the fire." Qin Mengyu said that it was as casual as inviting friends, so that people couldn't see the flaws.
Bailich followed, and Adile hesitated slightly, but kept up.
When I arrived at the tea stall, there were indeed not many people, except for a few bustling tea customers, only the boss was there shouting.
When a few people left the palace, Bailihe had never been treated like this, and this time I was a little curious about the first experience of folk tea.
I saw that after the shopkeeper came up to wipe the tabletop clean, he took the water on the side and passed the tea bowl, and then came over with a pot of herbal tea.
Qin Mengyu had already smelled the faint fragrance of tea, and at this time he tasted the bitter taste slightly, and then it was sweet.
"Although it is not as good as the imperial supplies in the palace, it has a different flavor." After Bailihe made a pertinent comment, he suddenly looked into an alley in front of him.
I saw that half of the white cloth was exposed in the shadows of the alley.
Bai Lihe watched the cloth disappear into the alley, and sure enough, they were targeted, Qin Mengyu looked in his direction, and sure enough, there was a person who was climbing the beam of the house there.
"Looks like we've messed with someone we can't afford to mess with this time." Qin Mengyu didn't forget to jokingly say at this time, which made Adilai even more nervous.
But then again, the two of them don't know much about the Western Regions, and now they can only put the information on Adile.
It's just that seeing that Adil doesn't want to say more now, Qin Mengyu is not in a hurry, and decides to find another way to let her relax first.
"Actually, I'm curious about your royal secrets, if you can, why don't you tell me about it?"
Adile was slightly stunned, but she was still willing to talk freely, she herself was living as a preparatory female official in the palace.
Although they can't move around at will in the workplace on weekdays, they have to pass their ears on all the big and small things in the palace.
Although she didn't know what her relationship with the new royal family was, in the end, the new emperor had no false intentions for her.
And the so-called new emperor's younger brother wants to use her mind, and it is absolutely true!
"No one can say what happened back then, but in the final analysis."
