"Brother Qi, are you coming to see me?" The silk tents that used to block the sun have all been removed, and the room is no longer gloomy and looks very bright. Through the light gauze curtain, Ning Xue's emaciated figure half-lying on the bed could be vaguely seen, she paused for a moment and continued: "If you are here for her, I will not send it." ”

"I'm for her and you. Ning Xue, you feel guilty in your heart, so you can't live in fear, your body is getting weaker and weaker, now that the government has the evidence, why don't you be honest about everything and let go of the burden in your heart? An Ruiqi gently admonished.

"Brother Qi, you are wrong, I am really scared in my heart, I am so scared that I can't sleep every night, but I am worthy of my heart." After being silent for a while, Ning Xue's low voice came from the curtain again: "I thought that as long as you asked, I would tell you the truth, after all, compared to what will happen soon, what is there to fear of prison?" It's a pity that your heart is no longer in me, and I can't do it if I want to fulfill you and others......"

"Ning Xue, I know that you are not the one who killed Duan Ming, as long as you tell the truth, I am willing to do my best to ask the emperor to be lenient." An Ruiqi looked at the slightly trembling figure, and felt pity in his heart.

"Brother Qi, you have been busy with the war recently, so naturally I don't know that my father has promised Duan Shangshu to let me and Duan Ming get married......" Speaking of this, Ning Xue's voice became choked.

An Ruiqi was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out: "Duan Ming is dead, how can you marry him?" Lord Ning has always been very fond of you, and I believe that he will never let you suffer such grievances! ”

"In order to be loyal to the emperor, of course he will ......" After speaking, Ning Xue couldn't help crying. Brother Qi, I know that my father is going to marry me to Duan Ming, so I am always looking forward to you taking me away from the world. In my heart, only you can save me from this abyss. When did you change your mind? Or is the past just a mirror, and you have never been emotionally attached to me? ”

"Ning Xue, the eldest brother has a deep affection for you, and he is the person you should entrust for life." An Ruiqi sighed, and then said: "Now that the war has subsided, I will immediately send someone to invite my eldest brother back to Beijing to discuss countermeasures." You can recuperate in the house with peace of mind and wait for good news. According to Duan Nantian's temperament, once Ning Xue marries into Duan Mansion, she will be trapped in the mansion for the rest of her life to guard Duan Ming's tomb, and there will be no possibility of seeing the light of day again, which is indeed more desperate than being in a cage. Lord Duan really had good intentions, and he had set up a plan to contain me as early as that day. Master Duan, you have done everything in vain, but you have mistaken me. An Ruiqi secretly decided to make Duan Nantian dispel this vicious idea no matter what, even if he broke his oath for this.

Don't pass Ning Xue, An Ruiqi immediately rushed to the prefect's office. While waiting for Mo Niancong in the side hall, An Ruiqi sent the leader of the Shadow Guard and asked, "Does the divine doctor have a reply?" ”

"When he replied to his master, he said in the letter that he had no clue for the time being, so he planned to come to the capital in person so that he could compare the poison with all the poisons stored in the storehouse." The leader replied expressionlessly.

"What if it still doesn't work?" An Ruiqi asked with a slight frown.

"If even that person can't identify what the poison is, I'm afraid I'll have to start with the murder weapon......" After speaking, the leader lowered his head, looking a little unconfident.

"Do you know anything about the Dark Guard?" After being silent for a while, An Ruiqi asked again.

Hearing this, a strange light flashed in the leader's eyes, and he replied: "There are hundreds of Dark Guards, and all of them are good at one in a million. Their whereabouts are secretive and clean, and as for who they obey, their subordinates have not yet verified. ”

The Shadow Guard is so powerful, and he doesn't know that the person loyal to the Dark Guard is the current emperor, which shows that this matter is very hidden, but Uncle Rong Guo knows a lot about it, and it seems that the power he has secretly accumulated is really not to be underestimated. After this battle, although the Rong clan was greatly damaged, it may not be impossible to make a comeback. Do we have to kill everything to put an end to the strife once and for all? An Ruiqi sighed lightly, took out a drawing from his arms, handed it to the leader, and asked, "In your opinion, how similar is the wound caused by this secret weapon to Duan Ming's body?" ”

"The stakes are very high, and the subordinates dare not make inferences, please ask the master for forgiveness." Seeing An Ruiqi's disappointed face, the leader hesitated for a moment and continued: "But his subordinates can imitate one for testing. ”

An Ruiqi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "When will it be made?" ”

"Three days is enough." The leader replied cheerfully.

After learning what Ning Xue said from An Ruiqi, Mo Niancong pondered for a long time, and suddenly came to his senses, and said: "In this way, the killing of Duan Ming was definitely not the emperor's order. The emperor had the heart to woo Lord Duan but had no good solution, and it was rare that the confidant Minister Ning understood the righteousness and promised to marry Duan Ming with the pearl in his palm, and since then the two have become in-laws, and they are also much closer to each other. The marriage between Duan Ning and the two mansions is something that the emperor likes to see, how can he destroy it? ”

"What Brother Mo said is very true. Even if the Sacred Heart changes, it will only be Ning Xue who will suffer. After all, it was easy to find a beautiful woman for Duan Ming again, making it difficult for Lord Duan, who was suffering from the loss of his son, to be willing to serve himself. After speaking, An Ruiqi's eyes became dim. In order to control the military power in the hands of Duan Shangshu, he could easily give up the life of a woman, if it wasn't for Brother Mo coming forward, Yue'er would have died unjustly.

"I can't imagine that this case has gone through several twists and turns, and so far nothing has been found, which is really anxious." Mo Niancong clenched his fists and said indignantly.

An Ruiqi smiled lightly after hearing this, and comforted: "Brother Mo, don't be impatient, remember that the head catcher once said that the thing that killed Duan Ming was a unique secret weapon for quenching poison, and there are only a handful of people who want to have such an extraordinary thing in the world, as long as you find out what the poison in Duan Ming is, and who owns the secret weapon, everything will come to light." ”

After hearing this, Mo Niancong's face was full of sorrow, and he arched his hand and said: "Brother An really knows everything, Mo admires it!" ”

"Brother Mo has an overreputation."

"Mo is stupid by nature, and he knows that he is powerless to share his worries for Brother An, but he hopes to ask from the second lady of Ningfu what she saw and heard that day, which can be regarded as living up to Brother An's trust." Mo Niancong said dejectedly.

Due to the close past with the Ning Mansion in the past, An Ruiqi was worried about how to interrogate the second lady, and now Mo Niancong proposed to take on this matter, which really made An Ruiqi breathe a sigh of relief. "Then there's Brother Raumo." An Ruiqi nodded.
