Chapter Seventy-Eight: Self-Inflicted Wisdom Falls into a Trap

"Riding the wind, have you ever prepared to stop?" Zhu Jingqi asked with a heavy face.

"Please rest assured, as long as Concubine Hui is poisoned, relevant letters will appear immediately, so as to promote her mental collapse, and then be controlled by us." Xie Chengfeng replied confidently.

"Since there are so many people who like to play with fire, I want to make them feel pain." From this point of view, Zhu Jingqi will definitely make some moves.

The next day, just as Concubine Wu Hui was on her birthday, the palace was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

At this time, people have completely forgotten the sorrows and sorrows of yesterday, and enjoy everything in front of them, where can they care about those potential crises? I'm afraid that I'm afraid that there is beauty and can't see it, and I can't hear it because of the wonderful sound.

After the song and dance, a group of princes and ministers began to offer gifts to Concubine Wu Hui.

When Concubine Wu Hui saw this, she didn't have the slightest joy on her face. I thought: It's such a mundane thing, it's insincere, it's very annoying!

When everyone saw this situation, they were very embarrassed, only Qiu Pengyun seemed to be in his chest, so he smiled from time to time.

When he was young, Qiu Pengyun saw that the time was ripe, so he happily presented the treasure chest that had been prepared with both hands.

After Concubine Wu Hui saw this treasure chest, she really liked it and praised it.

Seeing this situation, Qiu Pengyun's heart can be said to be happy. I thought, there is hope for a career ahead!

Seeing that Concubine Wu Hui loved this treasure chest so much, Qiu Pengyun was a little carried away, so he immediately said to Concubine Wu Hui that there were several boxes of excellent rouge in this treasure chest, which could be used by her.

When the people around saw this, they all secretly laughed at Qiu Pengyundao, the shabby people in the mountains and fields were really extraordinary, and they actually used rouge to fill treasures, which was really ridiculous.

I didn't want Concubine Wu Hui to blame Qiu Pengyun for this, but praised him a lot.

It's not for anything else, just because Qiu Pengyun has repeatedly emphasized that using this thing will make him twenty years younger over time!

After hearing this, Concubine Wu Hui couldn't help but be ecstatic in her heart. When I think about my birthday in previous years, although there are countless rare treasures, how can there ever be a practical thing? Now, he is already in a high position, what treasures can't he ask for? Therefore, most of the people who can move their hearts are not because they are expensive, but because they can be appropriate.

And Qiu Pengyun's move is secretly in line with Concubine Wu Hui's intentions, how can he not make her smile?

When she was young, Concubine Wu Hui couldn't wait to open the treasure chest, and then took out a box of rouge to use on the spot.

At the moment when Concubine Wu Hui opened the rouge box, Qiu Pengyun, who was standing on the side, was suddenly frightened and turned pale.

The heart said, "Why! Why did the original bright red rouge become like this! ”

Not only Qiu Pengyun was skeptical, but even Concubine Wu Hui, who had used all kinds of rouge gouache in the world, had never seen rouge with such a strange color.

Moreover, the fragrance emitted is strong and peculiar, so that people do not feel intoxicated after smelling it, and then they are fascinated.

It's just that this thing is extraordinary, so some differences are normal, so Concubine Wu Hui took a little and applied it to her face.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a scene that made everyone stunned appeared.

I saw that after Concubine Wu Hui applied rouge, she suddenly felt a burning sensation on her face, and then, something even more terrible happened.

Everywhere the rouge was applied, and blood oozed from under the skin of the face, causing the entire face to ulcerate.

It only made Concubine Wu Hui scream and feel in pain. After this, he immediately vomited blood from his mouth and fainted and fell to the ground.

When everyone present saw this, they were stunned and at a loss. And Qiu Pengyun, who was originally happy to keep his mouth shut, has become a "living dead" at this moment.

Knowing that a catastrophe was coming, he no longer had the scenery of the past, and what awaited him would be a dark prison cell, or a knife with a severed head shining in white light.

Seeing this, Tang Xuanzong urgently sent the imperial doctor to come to save his life.

I saw that after the imperial doctors had made a simple diagnosis of Concubine Wu Hui, they all began to shake their heads and sigh repeatedly, thinking that the situation was not optimistic.

Sure enough, according to the imperial doctor, Concubine Wu Hui used rouge containing highly toxic substances without investigation. This allows the poison in it to invade the body and endanger life.

No wonder that the box of rouge was unusual, it turned out that someone took advantage of his unpreparedness to add all these rouges to be highly poisonous, which made the nature of rouge fundamentally change.

There is no doubt that this incident is not accidental, but someone has premeditated it and wants to take this opportunity to put Qiu Pengyun to death.

What made Tang Xuanzong even more worried was that this poison was so poisonous that the ingredients were strange, and the imperial doctors couldn't come up with an effective antidote for a while, so they could only adopt conservative treatment.

However, this method can only delay and suppress the poison, but cannot eradicate it, so a solution must be found quickly.

A good birthday almost became a death day, and Tang Xuanzong has always been very fond of Concubine Wu Hui, but this time it was all because of Qiu Pengyun's opportunistic tricks and cleverness, he almost killed Concubine Wu Hui. If it weren't for the ministers' efforts to protect it, Qiu Pengyun would have already become a ghost under the knife at this moment.

Late the next night, Tang Xuanzong, who had not eaten for a day, was still standing by Concubine Wu Hui's side.

Seeing that Concubine Wu Hui was still unconscious, Tang Xuanzong had mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At the same time, Qiu Pengyun, who was framed and imprisoned, also couldn't sleep at night. Overnight, it seems that I have lost a lot of weight.

Because Qiu Pengyun's identity is special, and there are many doubts in this case to be clarified, Tang Xuanzong specially arranged a separate cell for him, and sent special personnel to guard it day and night to prevent accidents.

However, the prison cell is always no better than other places, for a noble person like Qiu Pengyun, who is accustomed to living a life of brocade clothes and jade food, it is normal to not be able to eat and sleep at night.

I saw Qiu Pengyun, who was curled up and squatting on the edge of the wall, and raised his head from time to time, and then looked at the moon looming outside the window, sighed, and muttered to himself.

The originally bright moonlight became more and more dim after being looked at by Qiu Pengyun a few times. I don't want to pay attention to such a villain with contemptuous and despicable morals, so that the things of nature are also human, and then have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

Seeing this, Qiu Pengyun seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and then lowered his head in shame.

It was summer, and it was unusually hot and humid in the cell. In addition, the place is often neglected and lazy to clean, so snakes, insects, rats, ants and other things have become frequent visitors here.

The moon was dark in the long night, and mosquitoes and insects were bitten. There are even a number of rats who want to be companions, and they are unwilling to steal food.

How can such a situation be endured by ordinary people? At this moment, Qiu Pengyun was full of regret, regretted not being at the beginning, and even cried several times.

Thinking back to the beginning, he was majestic and lived a rich life, how could he have thought that there would be today's disaster?

Now, it has come to such a point, it is really very different from the former.

If he were to choose again, would he still chase fame and fortune? Presumably, the answer is unequivocal.

After all, in this materialistic world, those who are willing to be content with the status quo and willing to be poor cannot be said to be nothing, but they will not be in the majority.

Man is born to suffer, so he will give rise to desire. Desire is moderate, and it should be stopped in moderation. Otherwise, in the long run, it will inevitably bring disaster to itself and cause tragedy.

Just like the flow of Qiu Pengyun, if it is not for profit, why is it so? This kind of person has a slight frustration and is not incidental, but how can he ever think about the reaction of those miserable people who have been ruined by him and their families and wives are separated?

Now there is this retribution, which is in line with the way of heaven and the will of the people. If such a generation is not punished, how can it be convincing?

The words were divided into two ends, and just as Qiu Pengyun was being tortured in the cell, Concubine Wu Hui, who had been unconscious before, vomited blood again.

When this was extremely critical, the imperial doctors were helpless, and at the last moment, Yang Ruoxin's words made Tang Xuanzong suddenly enlightened.

Thinking that Yang Ruoxin was injured to save Tang Xuanzong and his life was in danger, fortunately, Qiu Pengyun promptly promoted Guo Nianyao to treat him, which made him turn the corner.

Moreover, Guo Nianyao's family has practiced medicine for generations, and they also have a good reputation and reputation in Chang'an City. At this critical juncture, Guo Nianyao could not be treated.

Without further ado, after being reminded by Yang Ruoxin, Tang Xuanzong immediately ordered someone to go to Guo Nianyao's residence.

However, what was extremely surprising was that when everyone rushed to the place where Guo Nianyao lived, they found that it was empty.

Presumably, someone must have taken a step ahead of them and took Guo Nianyao's family away. Who leaked the news that they were able to take people away before the forbidden army arrived? Could it be that there are ghosts around the emperor?

Seeing this, the forbidden army did not dare to slack off, and immediately informed Tang Xuanzong of the situation here.

When Tang Xuanzong learned of this, he immediately fell into a collapse. threatened that if Concubine Wu Hui died, he would definitely take Qiu Pengyun's head to pay tribute to the soul of Concubine Ai.

This news quickly spread to the prison, and when Qiu Pengyun heard about it, he immediately sneered a few times, and then did not react. may know that his death is coming, so he is a little disheartened.

On the other hand, there is also an undercurrent in the general's mansion, and there are murderous opportunities.

That night, Xiao Qingzhu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was lying on Liu Xinyu's desk and drowsy.

At this moment, Xiao Qingzhu seemed to hear Liu Xinyu calling her, so she stood up in a daze and wanted to find out.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Qingzhu suddenly smelled a unique smell, and then his limbs were limp and his eyes went black, and then he fainted to the ground, and then he didn't know anything.

After a while, a masked man walked in, and then walked straight in the direction of the study's secret room, and then opened the door to the secret room.

It wasn't long before the man walked out, apparently taking something important.

Early the next morning, Xiao Qingzhu finally woke up. And the first thing she did when she woke up was to see if there was anything missing in the secret room.

Sure enough, after Xiao Qingzhu's careful inspection, she was surprised to find that several secret letters related to the life and death of the entire General's Mansion had disappeared.

Xiao Qingzhu, who was very shrewd, immediately realized that someone must have stolen these secrets last night while he was unconscious, because he had sorted out these letters for Liu Xinyu on the afternoon of the incident.

From this, it can be concluded that this must have been intentional by someone familiar with the environment, otherwise it would not have been possible to grasp the time so accurately.

What made him even more unsettling was that Liu Ruotian, who had a lot of suspicions, also mysteriously disappeared last night. By all indications, a storm is coming.

One night a few days later, the restless Tang Xuanzong was reviewing a stack of recitals that had been accumulated for a long time.

Suddenly, I heard a strong wind outside the house, and the trees shook and their leaves fell, as if a rainstorm was coming. In the first few days, the wind became stronger, causing the door to slam open and swaying back and forth.

Then, the yin wind mixed with a little cold rain broke through the layers of barriers, so that it hit the table.

A gust of demonic wind suddenly hit, only to make Tang Xuanzong unable to open his eyes, and the music on the table was mostly wet.

Seeing this, Tang Xuanzong hurriedly got up and walked outside the house. I thought to myself, "The weather is so abnormal, could it be that something unexpected is coming?" ”

Walking to the door, Tang Xuanzong raised his eyes and looked around, only to see lightning and thunder outside the house, and the wind howling. The raindrops that fall from time to time become more and more dense, and they are unusually cold, hitting the face like ice needles and extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing this vision, Tang Xuanzong hurriedly closed the door, and then put his backhand behind his back, pacing and talking to himself while returning to his previous seat.

At this moment, Tang Xuanzong suddenly found that there were a few more envelopes and a book of folds on the table out of thin air.

Seeing this, Tang Xuanzong looked around with doubts, but did not find anything abnormal.

When he was young, he slowly opened the notebook with a slightly calmer mood, but was surprised to find that it was anonymous.

The general content is to list Liu Xinyu's various crimes, and say that there is evidence of his secret Khitan attached to the letter.

Tang Xuanzong was also suspicious when he saw this, after all, Liu Xinyu had been loyal to him for many years and had no second thoughts, so how could he have an affair with the enemy this time?

However, Tang Xuanzong, who had always been suspicious, decided to open these letters and take a look. There is a way to be afraid of 10,000 just in case, or be cautious.

Unexpectedly, when Tang Xuanzong opened these letters one by one, he was suddenly so angry that his face was pale, his hands trembled, and he was short of breath.

When he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and read the last letter, he immediately became furious.

I saw him slam the letter in his hand to the ground angrily, and said loudly: "Liu Xinyu, dare to do this!" ”
