Chapter 30: The Poisonous Mist
Summer nights, deeper and heavier, foggy.
The Luoqi Mansion in the Oriental King City was silent.
The frogs in the lotus pond stopped chirping, and the cicadas had long since rested, except for the occasional crickets.
Wisps of white smoke mixed with the thick fog, and the people in the house slept even deeper.
The group quietly climbed over the wall and entered the palace, and the guards were lying quietly on the ground, unconscious.
rummaged around the mansion, and finally found Lan Zijin's residence, and the nightclothes trapped her with strong hands and feet, and quietly took her out of the palace.
At noon, the people in the house rubbed their eyes, looked at the sun that was already hanging in the sky, and got up in surprise to get dressed and get ready for work.
Dongfang Luoqi also woke up, smelled the residual smell of medicine in the air, and hurriedly ran to Lan Zijin's room, but it was empty.
So he hurriedly called all the subordinates in the palace to look for Lan Zijin's traces.
The whole palace was searched, but still not found.
"Oops!" Dongfang Luoqi knew that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare horses, but the horses slept more soundly, and they couldn't wake up no matter how they screamed.
Dongfang Luoqi had to come to the stable in person, picked up the whip and whipped Chiye a few times, Chiye struggled to stand up, but his legs were weak and he couldn't stand steadily, let alone travel.
Hurriedly out of the house, Dongfang Luo Qi jumped into the air, flew for a long time and found a carriage, regardless of 3721, he kicked the groom down, cut the traction rope and ran towards the palace city.
"Brother Wang!" Dongfang Luoqi rushed to the imperial study, and at this time several ministers were discussing state affairs with Dongfang Luoyu.
Seeing that Dongfang Luoqi had never been so flustered before, Dongfang Luoyu ordered the minister to step back and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong!" ”
"Brother Wang, it's not good!" Dongfang Luoqi was serious and serious, "Zijin, Zijin is gone!" ”
Dongfang Luoyu stood up when he heard this, frowning, "What?" Zijin, how could she be gone? Have you looked for it? ”
"I've searched all over the palace, Zijin knows the measure, she never goes out casually." Dongfang Luo Qi was sure that he knew that Lan Zijin would never disappear for no reason.
"Don't panic first, you tell me what happened carefully, by the way, is there anything suspicious, we must know, whether Zijin was kidnapped for others or left on her own, if it is the former, who are those people!"
Hearing Dongfang Luoyu say this, Dongfang Luoqi thought about it for a while, and said: "I don't think Zijin will leave by herself, she knows that there are Nangong spies in the city, and she has nowhere else to settle down." Today, everyone in my house woke up at noon, even the horses were listless, for some reason, and the younger brother still smelled a trace of medicine in the air. ”
Dongfang Luoyu looked solemn and said, "The smell of medicine? It is impossible for medicine to charm everyone in your palace. ”
"There was a heavy fog last night, could it be that someone poisoned the fog and affected everyone in the palace?" Dongfang Luo Qi suddenly thought that there was a poison that could take advantage of the mist to hurt people and kill people, and remembered that the only person who had been trying to kill Lan Zijin was Nangong's people, and said, "Could it be Nangong Yu?" He sent so many people to the East to inquire about Zijin's whereabouts, and he once tried to murder him! ”
Dongfang Luoyu put his hands behind his back and said: "Entering the fog with poison, such a high-end, it is not like Nangong's practice, but Ximen is better at using poison." Nangong did not have close contact with Ximen, and he would not teach the method of using poison to others. Simon's messenger has recently come to the east. It's just that they don't know why they want to kidnap Zijin, they don't know Zijin's identity, and even if they do, there is no reason to harm her! ”
Hearing Dongfang Luoyu's words, Dongfang Luoqi patted his forehead and said, "It's bad, it must be the barbaric princess of Ximen Dailin?" ”
"Simon Deline? Why do you think so? Dongfang Luoyu was puzzled.
"Simon Dailin has been pestering me since she called the East. Yesterday she found my palace, saw Zijin, and asked who Zijin was. I lied that Zijin was my lover, firstly, I wanted to get rid of Simon Dailin's entanglement, and secondly, I couldn't reveal her true identity, but I didn't expect this girl to be so young that she could act like this! ”
After listening to Dongfang Luoqi's words, Dongfang Luoyu sighed: "I see. ”
"Brother Wang, what should we do?" Dongfang Luoqi was anxious and uneasy, Dongfang and Ximen were about to marry, and Ximen Dailin was the princess of Ximen Kingdom, so she couldn't easily excuse herself, so she had to ask Dongfang Luoyu.
"In this matter, it is inconvenient for my brother to come forward. You immediately take the team to the post house where the messengers of Ximen are located, and ask for someone from Ximen Dailin, who estimates that she can't really hurt Zijin's life. At this point, you can only forcibly search as Zijin's lover, remember not to reveal Zijin's identity! ”
"Yes! Brother Command! ”
Dongfang Luoqi hurriedly walked out of the imperial study, took a team of people, and rushed straight to the post house.
At this time, Ximen Dailin was leisurely eating watermelon, and when she saw Dongfang Luo Qi breaking in, she happily ran forward and hugged him, and said, "Brother Luo Qi, you are here." ”
Dongfang Luoqi pushed her away, glared angrily, and said coldly: "What about people? Where did you get her? ”
Simon Dailin was taken aback by his actions, and when she heard him ask, she sat back in her chair, picked up a piece of watermelon, and said, "Who is it?" ”
"You know who I'm talking about, that woman in my house, Lan Lan, you poisoned her in the fog and took her away yesterday." Dongfang Luo Qi stepped forward, pinched Simon Dailin's hand to pick up the watermelon, and said fiercely.
"What proof do you have to prove that I did it! I'm Princess Simon, is this the hospitality of your Eastern Kingdom? Wronging people at every turn? Do you want to marry me in the West? The watermelon in Simon Dailin's hand fell on the table, her hand hurt, and she tried to break free of Dongfang Luoqi's hand, but she couldn't do anything.
"This matter has nothing to do with whether or not to get married. It is my brother who wants to marry your eldest princess Ximen Wuya, not me, and I am the one who came to you today, and besides, the one you took away is my woman! Since you don't admit it, then don't blame me for being rude. Dongfang Luo Qi's face showed an unprecedented ferocity, Simon Dailin didn't expect that the gentle Luo Qi brother she was thinking about would become like this, and she hated it even more in her heart.
Dongfang Luoqi walked out of the door, took out a portrait of Lan Zijin that he had painted in his spare time, held it in his hand, and shouted to hundreds of soldiers outside the door: "The generals will listen to the order!" The king's woman was robbed, and now the king wants to search the whole city, so start with this post house, as long as you see the woman in the portrait, immediately return! Today is digging three feet into the ground, and I will find her traces! ”
All the soldiers said in unison: "Yes!" ”
