Chapter 17: The Antidote

An Lan's eyes revealed disbelief, "You lied to me? ”

Wen Chu replied to her with a meaningful smug smile.

As if he finally realized that Wen Chu was not lying, the aura on An Lan's body changed suddenly, and a gust of yin wind rolled up in a small area around him.

Su Qingmo silently pinched the talisman paper in her hand, in case An Lan hurt people in the situation of losing her mind, the yin wind gradually dissipated, An Lan slowly squatted down as if she had been drained of her whole body's strength, and sat on the ground in a daze, she shook her head slightly, and muttered in her mouth, "How, how could it be, it won't, it won't." ”

An Lan's gaze was unfocused, and he didn't know where to land in a panic.

All these years of resentment finally found an outlet, Wen Chu said viciously, "How could it not, your brother Ning Xi was pushed into the river by my own hands, and it was I who watched him drown in the water with my own eyes." ”

"Why?" An Lan's voice was inaudible.

Thinking about the events of that year, Wen Chu's voice still contained resentment, "Back then, my father planned to marry me to him, but he said that he already had you in his heart and didn't want to marry me, no matter how hard I tried, how humble I begged, he didn't agree, and even later I threatened him with his mother." ”

"He gritted his teeth and refused to let go, and he still wanted to elope with you, what I can't get, others can't think of it, don't you two love each other, don't you want to elope, I killed both of you, and let you go to the underworld to be a pair of mandarin ducks, isn't it?"

An Lan was silent when Wen Chu spoke, and after Wen Chu finished speaking, she raised her hands sluggishly and touched her eyes, which were already moist, and tears were left between her fingers, she first cried weakly, then her voice became louder and louder, and finally she broke down and cried hoarsely.

The cry surrounded the long-abandoned courtyard, and those tears seemed to wash away the resentment of these years, and seemed to remind her of the kind and elegant young man back then, the sweetheart who made her wait for him.

An Lan's cry made Su Qingmo's heart pantothenic, she exhaled lightly the turbid air blocked in her chest, and looked at Wen Chu with a smug expression on her face, "Which river was Ning Xi killed by you." ”

Wen Chu looked at the four richly dressed people not far away, pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Mu Yuanjing's cold voice sounded, "If you don't say it, this king will let people seal your theater, put everyone in Su Yongban's prison in prison, and torture them slowly." ”

"It's... It's in the moat outside the city. Senior Brother Song, who was behind Wen Chu, said his position honestly when he heard this.

Wen Chu glared behind him fiercely, "You..."

Senior Brother Song stretched out his hand to support Wen Chu's arm, and said a little bitterly after being thrown away: "Wen Chu, we have done a lot of wrong things, we can't continue to be wrong, if the theater is closed, how can you call your son and daughter-in-law's family to live." ”

Wen Chu's face finally loosened, but he was still a little unwilling.

Senior Brother Song knelt on the ground with Wen Chu in tow, "Lord Wang, we killed the person, we confessed, but it has nothing to do with other people in the theater, they still have to live, and I beg the prince to open up and spare everyone in the theater." ”

Without waiting for Mu Yuanjing to speak, Wen Chu looked at the palm that came out of his heart from behind, his breathing was stagnant, and the hand slowly left after passing through her heart, enduring the huge pain, Wen Chu turned his head and saw An Lan who was smiling, his lips trembled, and he spit out two words, "Slut." ”

After speaking, he slowly fell to the ground.

On the other side, Senior Brother Song, who also had a blood hole in his chest, fell down with him, An Lan looked at the two people who were breathing weakly, and said with a smile when the two of them were out of breath: "Don't worry, your son and daughter-in-law's family will also go down to accompany you soon." ”

Wen Chu's eyes widened, the hatred in his eyes almost came out of the frame, and after a few breaths, he finally stopped breathing unwillingly, but his eyes were always open, and he didn't blink his eyes.

After the two of them took their breath, An Lan looked at Su Qingmo expressionlessly, "That person was in the house last night, you guys should leave here." ”

Mu Yuanjing gave a look, Wei Xu left the rune realm and walked into the hut, and saw that Lin Ning was unconscious on the dilapidated wooden bed, he stepped forward and gently patted Lin Ning's side face, and after Lin Ning regained consciousness, the two left the hut.

An Lan turned around and wanted to leave after seeing the person being taken out, Su Qingmo stopped him loudly: "An Lan, do you want to see Ning Xi?" ”

Su Qingmo's words successfully stopped An Lan, who wanted to leave, with anticipation in her eyes, her lips trembled, and her voice choked: "I... Will I ever see him again? ”

Su Qingmo took out a blood-red jade pendant from his bag, "This is the soul jade that nourishes the soul, you live in it for the time being, and after your bones are gathered, I will take you to Ning Xi." ”

An Lan didn't doubt Su Qingmo's words at all, she turned into a wisp of green smoke and drilled into the soul jade.

Mu Yuanjing glanced at Lin Ning, who was being supported by Wei Xu, "Are you injured?" ”

Lin Ning shook his head, "Back to the prince, there is no injury to his subordinates except for temporary weakness. ”

"Lord Wang, what should these people do?" Su Qingmo looked at several corpses in the pit and asked.

"Push these missing people onto them." Looking at the two old men who had been breathing for a long time, Mu Yuanjing spoke lightly. ”

A few days ago, there was a big case in the capital, and several male corpses were found in the most popular theater Su Yong's class, and after the investigation, the hidden world ya, the suspect was locked on the previous head of the theater and his wife, who knew that the head of the class and his wife may have noticed the abnormality, and committed suicide in fear of crime before the hidden world was arrested.

These news were secretly spread to Beijing by the people of the hidden world, and Su Yongban's matter spread quickly among the people, and the missing people also corresponded to the corpses in the backyard of the theater, and the people scolded the head of Su Yongban's class while resisting Su Yongban to listen to the play.

Su Qingmo sat in the study of the palace, the place that belonged to her in the study had just been arranged not long ago, and today was the first time she had used it.

She held the peach hairpin in her hand that was very difficult to find from An Lan's burial ground, the peach hairpin can be seen to be some years, buried in the ground for so many years, it has not rotted, and it is engraved with a simple pattern, it can be seen that the craftsmanship of the hairpin maker is not fine, but as An Lan said, it is important to be careful.

"Still thinking about them?"

Su Qingmo looked at Mu Yuanjing, who was sitting side by side behind a desk not far away, and nodded.

Mu Yuanjing left his seat and walked to Su Qingmo's side, "Don't think about it, you can help her fulfill her wish tonight." ”

"Yuan Jing, will Ning Xi remember this hairpin?"

Mu Yuanjing took the peach hairpin from Su Qingmo's hand, and his gaze fell slightly, "If his mind has not changed, then he will not forget it." ”

Su Qingmo didn't continue to talk about this topic, but mentioned the matter next to him, "How is Su Yongban?" ”

"I heard that they are preparing to leave Beijing."

Su Qingmo pursed his lower lip, too, after so many things, Su Yongban can no longer stay in Beijing, it is better to leave the capital and go to other places to beg for a living, maybe life will be better.

She was caught up in her thoughts, and after bringing it back to her senses, she noticed that something was wrong with Mu Yuanjing, who was standing beside her, "Yuanjing, what's wrong with you." ”

Mu Yuanjing was stiff and cold, feeling as if his bones were frozen a little bit, and he struggled to squeeze out three words from between his teeth, "Find Lin Ning." ”

Su Qingmo hurriedly got up from the chair, ran out of the study without caring about his manners, and not long after running out of the study, he saw Lin Ning coming towards him.

"Subordinates, see the princess."

"Quick, follow me to the study, something is wrong with the prince."

Lin Ning guessed that the master was afraid that he was poisoned, and hurried to the study, and when he stepped into the study, Mu Yuanjing had already collapsed on the chair, wet with cold sweat, and frost was faintly formed on his eyebrows.

Lin Ning took out the medicine and poured it into Mu Yuanjing's mouth, and the medicinal juice that he didn't have time to swallow flowed down the corners of his mouth, Su Qingmo stood aside and watched, his heartbeat never calmed down.

"What's the matter, sir." After Lin Ning finished feeding the medicine, Su Qingmo asked.

Lin Ning put away the medicine bottle, bowed down and saluted: "I hope that the princess will forgive her sins, and her subordinates can't say it without the permission of the prince." ”

Su Qingmo nodded and asked Lin Ning to step back, walked to Mu Yuanjing's side and shook his hand, feeling cold to the bone.

After a few breaths, Mu Yuanjing slowly opened his eyes, looking at Su Qingmo's eyes full of worry, he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Su Qingmo's worries were not dispelled by two sentences, "Can Yuan Jing tell me, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mu Yuanjing didn't say anything, and a strange feeling of discomfort flashed in Su Qingmo's heart, and he whispered in a somewhat depressed voice: "Even I can't say it." ”

Mu Yuanjing looked at her somewhat aggrieved expression, sighed lightly in his heart, and had to compromise, "Sit down, I'll tell you." ”

Su Qingmo picked up a chair and put it beside Mu Yuanjing, and after sitting down, he obediently waited for Mu Yuanjing to speak.

"Actually, it's not a big problem, it's just the poison before, and it hasn't been cleared."

Poisoning is not a big problem.

"Why hasn't it been clear?"

The corners of Mu Yuanjing's mouth twitched, and his face was a little bitter, "I can't find an antidote, the poison in my body has no solution." ”

"But Lin Ning wasn't just now..."

"That's not an antidote, it only slows down the poison in my body."

"Do you know the name of the poison in it?"

How can you not know, but what is the use of just knowing?

Mu Yuanjing looked at Su Qingmo and said softly, "Red face and dry bones." ”

Su Qingmo's heartbeat suddenly beat faster, and the hand in his sleeve moved slightly.

Red face and dry bones, she knows too well, because what was brought out of her mother's womb was red and dry bones, and the red and dry bones on her body were finally dissolved by her father's confidant and friend poison doctor Wang Ruofeng.

used the poison pill that was only one in the whole world, and later she knew that the poison pill was refined by Wang Ruofeng by mistake, and if she wanted to refine one again, there was little hope.

Mu Yuanjing took Su Qingmo's hand and put it in his palm, "Don't feel sorry for me, as long as I have one day to live, I will protect you for one day." ”

Su Qingmo's face was complicated, and Mu Yuanjing then smiled: "If that day really comes, I will also send you back to the Su family to ensure the peace of the Su family." ”

The tip of Su Qingmo's nose was a little sour, Mu Yuanjing's words made her heart swell, and she was about to open her mouth when Mu Yuanjing pulled her out of the study, "Accompany me back to the room to rest for a while, I will be busy at night." ”

Looking at the slender palm holding her, Su Qingmo made a decision in his heart for a moment.

The two returned to Moxiangju, Su Qingmo accompanied Mu Yuanjing to lie on the bed, perhaps because the poisonous hair exhausted Mu Yuanjing's strength, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep, Su Qingmo carefully bypassed him and climbed out of bed.

Qinghe followed the master out of the bedroom, and when he was far away, he asked, "The princess has something to order?" ”

"Go and fetch Yong'an and ask him to wait for me in the gazebo."

Qinghe was ordered to leave, and Su Qingmo then instructed Qingrui, "Guard here, tell me when the prince wakes up." ”

Qingrui answered yes and walked back to the bedroom door to guard.

After Su Qingmo got out of the Moxiang Residence, he walked a short way to the pavilion, Yong'an waited in the pavilion, and when Su Qingmo approached, he saluted and said: "See the princess, what does the princess have to tell the slaves." ”

The four little maids who followed behind Su Qingmoping retreated sat down in a place where the maids could see but couldn't hear the voice, "I came to you to ask you something." ”

Yongan waited respectfully with his hands down.

Su Qingmo said softly: "Who is responsible for the poison on the prince's body. ”

Yong Anxin was startled, his eyes rolled around, and he hesitated and did not speak.

Su Qingmo knew Yong'an's concerns and distrust, and at first she did think about letting Mu Yuanjing slowly poison herself like this, and then she could return to the Su family safely, after all, Mu Yuanjing said that even if she returned to the Su family.

He will also find a way to protect the peace of the Su family, but as soon as this idea came to a point, she pressed it to death in her heart, and she was reluctant to be so good to her Mu Yuanjing.

"If you don't say it, there really will be no one who can detoxify the prince."

Su Qingmo's words made Yongan stand up straight in surprise, "Does the princess have a way to solve the prince's poison?" ”

Su Qingmo nodded, "So I'm going to talk to the person in charge of the Wang Ye's case." ”

Yong Anxin was more surprised than believing Su Qingmo's words, "But Doctor Li said that there is no solution to the prince's poison." ”

Su Qingmo didn't want to explain too much, a pair of black eyes looked at Yong'an quietly, staring at Yong'an's back, and the hairs on Yong'an's back stood on end.

"You go and invite Dr. Li to the side hall of Moxiangju."

Yongan bowed down, watched Su Qingmo leave, and thought that the prince's poison might be able to be cured, Yongan raised his hand to wipe away the excited tears that welled up in his eyes, and ran to Dr. Li's yard after his emotions were cleaned up.

Mu Yuanjing, who was sleeping in Moxiang's house, woke up slowly, rested for a while, the strength lost in his body due to the poisonous hair had recovered, and he looked at the empty side, he put on his shoes and walked out of the bedroom.

Qingrui heard movement in the room and hurried into the house.

"Where's the princess?"

Qingrui Fu said: "The princess is in the side hall, and she ordered the slave maid to wait for the prince to wake up and invite the prince over." ”

Mu Yuanjing raised his feet and walked towards the side hall, and after entering the side hall, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, "Why is Dr. Li here?" ”

Doctor Li noticed that the person was busy getting up, "If you go back to the prince, the princess invited me over." ”

Mu Yuanjing's puzzled eyes turned to Su Qingmo, and after Su Qingmo asked Dr. Li to leave, he pulled Mu Yuanjing's hand and sat down with a smile, "I have something important to tell you." ”

Looking at her smiling eyes, Mu Yuanjing smiled unconsciously: "You say, I'll listen." ”

Su Qingmo looked at Mu Yuanjing's eyes, his eyes did not blink, and his expression was extremely serious, "Regarding the poison on your body, I have a way to get rid of it." ”

Mu Yuanjing felt that he was hallucinating, "You, what are you talking about?" ”

Su Qingmo repeated softly again, "I said, I have a way to get rid of the poison on your body." ”

Mu Yuanjing couldn't believe it, but Su Qingmo looked at him with great certainty, and he really had a glimmer of hope in his heart, "How... Untie? ”
