Chapter 425: Of course it's me!
The passage leading to the heavenly prison in the palace of the king of Chu is eerie and terrifying.
The road is less than ten zhang, painted with black paint, and the axe is hung along the way, although there is no one to guard, but there is a crossbow machine five steps high, and the hanging faint and cold crossbow makes people walking here feel the breath of death diffusing every step they take.
Concubine Yuan De, who was dressed in brocade and jade, walked in front, and the flustered Danqing followed behind with a lacquer box, highly nervous like a string.
Suddenly, Concubine Yuan stood still and turned to look at her, her eyes searching: "What's the matter with the cloak on Liu's body?" β
"Slave maid...... Ignorance. Danqing shook his head, his eyebrows and eyes confused.
Concubine Yuan Defei stared at her suspiciously: "Really? β
"Really."
Concubine Yuan Defei looked at Danqing for a moment: "That's good, you are his eyes and ears, if you are involved, I won't save you......"
"!" Danqing knelt down in shock when she heard this: "The slave is loyal to the mother, and it is by no means anyone's eyes and ears." β
"Hah!" Concubine Yuan Defei sneered: "This lie is really beautiful, but whether you are or not, I don't care at all." β
Concubine Yuan Defei turned around and continued to walk forward, Danqing looked at Concubine Yuan Defei's back in astonishment, and couldn't help but be puzzledβwhat did she mean by that? .
"Keep up!" Concubine Yuan Defei urged without looking back, Danqing quickly got up and followed behind Concubine Yuan De with a lacquer box.
The soldiers and guards guarding in front of the cage were very shocked when they saw Yuan Defei appear here, but without waiting for them to ask, Yuan Defei showed the token given by the king, so the others obediently retreated and let them in.
When Concubine Yuan Defei walked to the gate of the prison, she looked at the dim front and whispered, "Danqing, he really didn't tell you, who am I?" β
Danqing was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to answer, Concubine Yuan Defei had already stepped into the door of the prisonβobviously people didn't care about her answer at all.
In the prison, in less than half a day's work, changes have taken place.
In the cell where Qian Du was locked up earlier, Zhao Jichang sat on the ground with his back to the cell door, holding his head in his hands, thinking about the whole incident - he needed to figure out what went wrong and who had calculated him here.
Concubine Yuan De slowly came to the prison door with Danqing's steps.
She held her head high, her eyes were indifferent, but Danqing, who was standing behind her, looked panicked.
Zhao Jichang didn't notice that someone was coming at all, he was immersed in his thoughts and muttered, "Who is it?" β
The corners of Concubine Yuan De's lips hooked slightly: "Of course it's me." β
Concubine Yuan Defei's words frightened Danqing so much that the lacquer box in her hand fell to the ground, and she stared at her with a pale face.
At the same time, Zhao Jichang also raised his head in shock, quickly turned around, and looked at Yuan Defei in disbelief: "You? β
"Yes." Concubine Yuan Defei was completely in the posture of a victor: "I." β
"No!" Zhao Jichang shook his head and got up negatively: "This is impossible, you are in the palace, and you don't even have your own person, how can you kidnap and hide her?" β
Concubine Yuan De smiled: "I am no one, but you have." β
"What?"
Zhao Jichang's eyes turned to look at Danqing behind Concubine Yuan De: "It's you?" β
Danqing's face turned pale and shook his hands: "No, it's not me, I don't." β
"None? So how did she do it? You're the one staring at her, and you know best what she's doing! β
"I ...... I really don't know......" Danqing was completely stunned, her memory was missing, and she herself didn't know what was going on.
"Zhao Jichang!" Concubine Yuan De suddenly shouted: "You have been covering the sky in the palace for a long time, have you forgotten who I am?" β
Zhao Jichang was stunned, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he straightened his chest and said: "I haven't forgotten who you are, it's you who forgot your identity!" Tang Huajin, your son is in the hands of the master. β
The smile on Concubine Yuan Defei's face disappeared immediately, full of bitterness of being contained.
Seeing this, Zhao Jichang stepped forward: "If you do this, the master will not let him go!" β
"yes!" Concubine Yuan Defei nodded, her eyes gradually deepened: "Just because my child is in his hands, I have to grovel and have to be at your mercy, but you ...... And what did he do! β
There was hatred in her eyes: "Not only did you not treat my child well, but you also wantonly killed the Tang Sect, and you still want me to help you take down this Chu country based on what you did?" Dream! β
"You!" Zhao Jichang looked at the fanaticism and hatred in her eyes and said, "What are you going to do?" β
"What? Of course, I will kill you first, and then abolish this fake son. β
Zhao Jichang's eyes were frightened, and at this time, Danqing stabbed at Concubine Yuan Defei as soon as he pulled the bead on his head.
But as soon as Danqing made a move, his legs became weak, he fell to his knees, and his whole body convulsed.
Concubine Yuan Defei glanced at her contemptuously: "If you don't do it, you won't die, silly girl." β
Danqing reached out and grabbed her throat in a spasm all over her body, she wanted to speak but couldn't squeeze out a word because she was breathless, and soon she rolled her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhao Jichang quickly retreated to the depths of the prison and shouted loudly: "Someone! Come on! β
"Hahahaha!" Concubine Yuan Defei smiled: "Don't shout, without my antidote, they won't wake up." As soon as he said that, he flicked his hand forward, and several silver needles pierced into Zhao Jichang's body.
Zhao Jichang hurriedly pulled it out and threw it away, with a pleading look in his eyes: "Don't kill me, I'll ......" Before he finished speaking, he had foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground, and began to tremble.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, this poison will only make you stop making loud and harsh sounds." Concubine Yuan Defei walked to Danqing's side as she spoke, squatted down and opened the lid of the lacquer box on the ground, took out a folded silk handkerchief with words, threw it into the prison, and got up to leave.
In the prison, Zhao Jichang was trembling on the ground, but he couldn't do anything.
Outside the prison, Danqing's body gradually stopped moving.
The red handwriting on the handkerchief next to the cell door was particularly glaring.

Bidding farewell to her lover, Hua Rou, who was lost, guessed Mu Junwu's identity and the secret she refused to tell, and returned to the drug room in a hurry.
When she entered the hospital, Yu'er was holding the quilt out of the west wing room to dry, and when she saw her, she greeted excitedly: "Hua Rou!" β
She was excited, but Hua Rou just nodded at Yu'er.
"What did you do? I haven't been back all night, and now I'm still looking so bad, what's going on? β
Hua Rou looked at Yu'er and sighed lightly, "Mu Junwu is gone." β
"Gone? What do you mean? Where did he go? β
"I don't know, anyway, he's gone about his own business, and he won't be in the door anymore."
Yu'er raised her eyebrows: "Your own business?" β
"Well, and it's supposed to be a matter of life and death, but I ...... Can't help enough. Hua Rou walked past Yu'er after speaking, looking depressed.
"Hua Rou, are you okay?"
"When you get up from sleep, you'll be fine." Hua Rou said as she walked into the West Wing and closed the door.
Yu'er stood in the yard holding the quilt, with pity, joy, and anxiety in her eyes.
Mu Junwu is gone? Gone for your own business? Is he going to fight for the world and take back the royal power?
