Chapter 20: Captivity

Ji Yanli was worried about the safety of his eldest grandson without regrets, and hurriedly asked Bo Yan to take a look inside.

After Bo Yan left, Ji Yanli touched the maid's snort, and sure enough, there was no breath, but from the temperature of the corpse, it seemed that he had just been poisoned.

"Lord Murong, you have excellent medical skills, and you are the judge of the Tai Hospital, do you think there is still salvation in this way? If you can save it, please go all out, after all, if you find out the murderer, there is still a point on him, if even you can't do it, then this clue will be broken" Ji Yanli said to Murong Yuan seriously.

Murong Yuan put the medicine box on his shoulder on the ground and carefully looked at the wounds on the maid's body, but he didn't find any bleeding, but he found a blackened mark from under her neck, which looked like he had been bitten by something.

"I'm afraid that the murderer called this maid unprepared, and secretly put Gu to let him do this, I have the right to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, see if I can save it, it is really God's will to live, and it is also considered his blessing and great life, if he doesn't come back, then it is also her fate"

As he spoke, Murong Yuan took out a few silver needles from the medicine box and inserted them all over his major acupuncture points, looking like a hedgehog from a distance.

Then Murong Yuan took out another pillar of incense and put it on the ground and lit it.

"My incense has been inserted, if he can't survive within a stick of incense, it is providence, no one can do anything"

At this moment, Bo Yan walked out of the hall and said to Ji Yanli: "The queen mother has been saying that she doesn't seem to wake up, and there is still a steaming medicine on the table, as if she just took it."

"Then don't wake him up and let him continue to sleep, if she wakes up and knows that the maid betrayed him, she doesn't know how sad it is, the sinister and beautiful things in this world can't always be kept, let him keep the good things in his heart in his dreams"

Hearing Ji Yanli's words, Murong Yuan suddenly looked up at him.

"Lord Murong, what's wrong with you? Okay, what do you see me doing? Is there something on my face that makes you so strange? Wouldn't you have a special fetish? Ji Yanli pretended to be scared and hid behind Bo Yan.

Murong Yuan smiled and said: "How can I have the way you say, I am in my fifties, you don't joke with me, I just heard a little bit of the taste of the old man from your words, otherwise I used to think of this world very beautifully, but later, everything did not go as he wanted, the former boy, you never returned, think about it, I haven't seen him for more than ten years"

"Lord Murong, who are you talking about, is it Su Jinniang you said?" Ji Yanli asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes" Murong Yuancheng became his tone: "It's all in the past, don't mention it, the dust of the past has fascinated your eyes, and when you dry your eyes, you can't go back, the past is over, people always have to look forward, it's all old and toothy, what else do you do when you mention this matter?"

Strange man, Ji Yanli whispered: Obviously you mentioned it, Su Jinniang on the left and Su Jinniang always put Su Jinniang in his mouth every day, and when others asked him, he didn't say it, and he really couldn't figure out what he wanted to say, whether it was like this for older people.

As she was thinking, the maid suddenly coughed, and then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ji Yanli saw that she vomited blood and wanted to help her, but was stopped by Murong Yuan.

"Don't care, let her vomit, let her vomit, she fell into the Gu of the Hu people, the blood he spit out is poisonous blood, and everyone he touches will be poisoned like her, and then die"

Although what Murong Yuan said was so evil and so scary, how could Ji Yanli manage so much, and stepped forward with an arrow and helped her up from the ground.

"Are you sure it's really okay? She's not going to die because of this, is she? Is there any way? Tell her to stop vomiting blood, and she vomits like this. Even if she spit it out, she would lose so much blood that she would lose her life."

"Then it has nothing to do with me, I just said that I wanted to save her, I didn't say that I wanted to save her, and I am not Da Luo Jinxian who has the ability to continue his life" Murong Yuan stood aside, looking indifferent.

"You are really a well-dressed beast, you can say such a thing, presumably the Su Jinniang you like is not a good person" Seeing Murong Yuan's appearance that he had nothing to do with himself, Ji Yanli was anxious for a moment before he said such a thing.

"You, what do you say, you dare to say it again, believe it or not, the old man beats you into a dog's leg"

"What did I say? What do you dare to do to me? ”

In this way, when the two of them were eager to try and were about to fight, Bo Yan suddenly said in surprise: "You two don't quarrel, this old and young are old, let people see what to say about you, you didn't see him open his mouth, it seems that you listen to what he said, it's important to get down to business."

Ji Yanli hurriedly leaned on her ear, listening to her intermittent words.

"I'm sorry for the queen mother, I have been following the queen mother for many years, and I have always been meticulous care and close as sisters, at the beginning when the queen mother was sick, I went to the hospital to get medicine, those who were too depressed were not happy to give it to me, and the ladies in the palace also came to visit from time to time, but as the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, not to mention the palace without relatives and no reason!

The most ruthless emperor's family, the queen's illness has not improved, and the doctors and harem ladies have stopped coming, but the queen's illness has to be treated, but the hospital no longer prescribes medicine, just when I have the most no choice, a Hu man found me, she said that there is a way to help me solve this problem, but the dose of medicine is larger than before, and I didn't take it to heart, after all, it is best to cure the queen's illness, but the situation is not optimistic, but medicine is better than no medicine"

The maid coughed up a lot of blood again, Ji Yanli comforted her not to get excited and asked: "I know what you said, I know that you are not a bad person, you don't have to blame yourself, you ended up like this, we came here to investigate the case, and he will kill you." By the way, do you remember what that Hu man looked like? ”

The maid roughly described the appearance of the Hu man, and then Ji Yanli drew a picture according to the appearance he dictated, and showed it to her, the maid looked at it, and then nodded and said that it was too similar.

"Where do you trade all the medicinal materials he wants? Do you have any special symbols when trading? Looking at the maid who was not optimistic, Murong Yuan then asked.

"Every month on the first day of the month, on the fifteenth day, we will trade in the side hall of the Lizheng Palace, after all, there is no difference between this and the Cold Palace, and no one will come, and the transaction here will not be seen, before he comes or before I let him come, he will put a butterfly-like kite in the courtyard to make a code"

"Tomorrow is fifteen, why don't you fly a kite and ask her to come tomorrow, and then we will take him down in one fell swoop, okay?" ……”

Before Ji Yanli finished speaking, the maid had already lost her breath.

Carried away the maids, Ji was tired of leaving, and ordered the palace to find two shrewd and capable maids to serve the eldest grandson without regrets.

Walking out of the Lizheng Palace, Ji was tired of leaving and discussing countermeasures with Bo Yan.

"If we fly a kite in the Lizheng Hall tomorrow, will the Hu people believe it?" Bo Yan looked at Ji Yanli and asked suspiciously.

"Hu is cunning and suspicious, if he believes that the maid is not dead, then he will definitely come"

"So how can he believe it? You also said that they are cunning and suspicious by nature, we have to be like a little bit, otherwise we will lose all our efforts."

"yes, I have to think about it, it's a headache!" Ji Yanli pondered as he walked.

At this moment, several eunuchs came over, and the eunuch led by them stopped their way and said to Ji Yanli.

"Which of you is Lord Ji Yanli, the protector of Qianniuwei, our head manager Lord Zhao wants to see you and go with us!"

"I'm me, I'm me, which Lord Zhao is looking for me?"

"Hurry up, let's go, don't ask so much, you'll know when you go"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm still on duty, I'm going to say ...... to our heads"

Although Ji Yanli was reluctant to go, he was still taken away by these eunuchs who drove ducks on the shelves.

Seeing the back of the eunuch leaving with Ji Yanli, Bo Yan didn't think much about it at first, but he took a few steps back, and suddenly turned around, as if he remembered something.

"These people are not eunuchs, the beards on the mouths of these self-proclaimed eunuchs have not been shaved clean, and besides, the direction in which they took Ji Yan to find Zhao Hongen, the chief eunuch, is not that way, no, there are strange things here, I have to go and see it."

Thanks to Bo Yan being smart enough to follow, otherwise Ji Yanli would have died at their hands that day.

After walking for a long time, Ji Yanli's feet were sore and he hadn't arrived yet, Ji Yanli asked impatiently: "Have you arrived, the place where you Lord Zhao lives is far enough, I really have something to do, you told Lord Zhao that if there is nothing wrong, I will go back first, and I will visit another day."

Ji Yanli saw the clue and planned to turn around and run, but when he turned around, he was already blocked.

"Since you're here, Master Ji, why don't you go in and sit down and have a cup of tea?"

The person who talked to Ji Yanli was a Hu man, he called him Master Ji as if he knew Ji Yanli, and Ji Yanli also seemed to know her, but he couldn't remember it, just when this name was about to come out, he was beaten from the back of his head and carried to a bird who didn't and locked him up.

I don't know how long it took, Ji Yanli was woken up by a basin of cold water.

Ji Yanli first looked around, this was a house with cobwebs, dust had fallen all over the corners of the room, it seemed that no one had ever come, and the Hu man was looking at him in front of him.

Ji Yanli sat up with the back of his aching head and looked at him.

"What kind of place is this? What are you bringing me here for? I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future, so do you want to harm me? ”

The Hu man smiled and said: "We don't want to kill people either, we can only blame you for being too clever and disrupting our plans, so that we can kill you in advance, originally we wanted to keep you for a while, because you still have a little effect, and now you don't want to die."

"Are you called Lisai, are you the one who administered the medicine to the Lizheng Palace? It's also that you want to harm the queen."

Ji Yanli asked like a pearl cannon, and immediately made the departure question: "I'll just say that you are very smart, if we are not enemies, but friends, I think we will definitely cooperate closely, but unfortunately we have the same goal, we must be enemies"

"I think you've done a lot of bad things, but that's not all, where have you been in the year since you disappeared from the hospital? Are you hiding in a dark corner and making your seamless plan? You've really learned a lot from Datang! But you don't learn the essence, everything is so-so. Take the first step to let people see the flaws, let's be honest, what else did you do? ”

Ji Yanli tried to provoke Lisai verbally so that she could tell her about the bad things she had done, but he didn't do his job.

"I'll tell you everything I've done as it is, but not now, I'll tell you the truth of the matter in two hours, but before that you have to be honest, otherwise I can take your life at any time!" Leaving the game with a high-minded look, threatening Ji Yanli.

Ji Yan said disdainfully: "It's just two hours? What can be done in two hours? ”

Lisai said proudly: "Two hours later, the queen mother will die of poison, and her best maid will also die outside the palace gate, and all this is your poisonous hand."

Looking at Aunt Lisai's whimsical appearance, Ji Yanli smiled and said, "What you said is simply a pipe dream, do you think they will believe it?"

As soon as the words fell, Lisai snorted coldly and said gloomily.

"What if I become like you and assassinate the Tang Emperor?"

Lisai tore off the mask on his face, and under this mask there was Ji Yanli's exact face.

"I use this face to do all kinds of bad things with your identity, and it will be difficult for you to say it when you have a mouth"

Saying that, he swaggered out of the race, leaving Ji Yanli struggling desperately, wanting to escape from this room to end his ridiculous behavior, otherwise everything would go in a bad direction.

But his hands and feet were chained, so that he could not escape no matter what, and he could not scream, and the whole person was like a nightmare. I can't move even if I sit there.
