Chapter 163: The Truth Revealed
At the end of the month today, the moon in the sky is no longer than a thin thread, and it seems to be dying.
Under the cover of the night, and knowing everything about the guards in the palace, he carefully avoided those patrolling royal forest troops, and jumped straight towards the Qingqiu Palace.
It was already deeper, and the entire Qingqiu Palace was shrouded in a layer of ink-like darkness, as if swallowed by the dark and silent night, and a little faint light was like a bean, lifeless.
He bent down, walking on the ground on the roof, but he had a wry smile in his heart, the king of a country, visiting the queen he was marrying, even used this kind of golden cicada to get out of his shell, as if he was cheating on a man and woman.
In Yuehua's room, there were no lights, only the palace people on night duty in the outer hall had a hazy light, and a little faint light oozed through the cracks in the door and window paper, spreading all kinds of strange shadows on the ground.
The courtyard was silent, Mo Guhan was about to turn over and go down, and when he entered through the window, he heard a soft "squeak" in the lower room not far away, and a head poked out.
Mo Guhan leaned out half of his body and shrank back.
The man glanced around, and when he saw that there was no movement, he crept out, and slowly walked towards the warm pavilion along the base of the wall.
Look at the dress is a little eunuch, but if you get up at night, you definitely shouldn't be so sneaky. Mo Guhan suddenly became suspicious, and his eyes followed the black shadow to the window of the warm pavilion.
The little eunuch glanced alertly from side to side, and then took something out of his bosom.
Mo Guhan is a person who practices martial arts, and his eyesight is much better than ordinary people, seeing that the thing in the man's hand is slender and long, like a bamboo pipe, and then he leaned in front of the window of the warm pavilion, stretched out his tongue, wet the window paper, and then quietly poked the bamboo pipe into the wet place, without even making a sound.
Although Mo Guhan was in the deep palace and didn't know the dirty tricks on the rivers and lakes, he also saw it clearly at this time.
There is a kind of chicken and dog thief on the rivers and lakes, who are good at making ecstasy incense, which is such a technique, using a thin bamboo tube, hollowing out the middle, putting the ecstasy medicine into the bamboo tube, inserting it into the window, blowing gently, and then * all entered the house.
Mo Guhan was already angry at this time, there was such a bold servant in the Qingqiu Palace, who secretly dealt with the queen!
Seeing that the man had already aimed his mouth at the bamboo pipe, Mo Guhan couldn't care much, so he took off a piece of glazed tile and threw it at the man's face.
The little eunuch is preoccupied with committing murder, where will he be on guard? Just hit by the tile, he screamed "oops" and fell to the ground.
The glazed tiles fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces, making a crisp sound.
Mo Guhan fell to the ground lightly like a fallen leaf, and stepped on the man's heart with one foot: "Say, who sent you?" ”
The little eunuch suddenly saw someone descending from the sky, and his heart was horrified, and he wanted to struggle, like a huge mountain pressing on the top, where could he move?
Yuehua woke up from sleep, heard the movement, and struggled to get up: "Who?" ”
The voice was weak and slightly hoarse, Mo Guhan heard it, but he felt like a heavenly voice: "It's me." ”
Yuehua's body shook up, she didn't care about dressing, she only wore her middle clothes, got off the warm kang, and stumbled out.
Some palace people heard the movement, got up and held the lamp, and when they saw that it was Mo Guhan, they immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and the mountain shouted "Long live".
As soon as Yuehua pushed open the door of the warm pavilion, she saw Mo Guhan and her nose was sour, so she couldn't help but want to rush forward and embed herself in his flesh and bones.
I couldn't wait to step out of one foot, only then did I suddenly wake up to the fact that I was now infected with a disease, so I hurriedly retracted it, closed the door with a "bang", and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, how can you not listen to the advice and go to danger?" Hurry up and leave, take care of your dragon's body. ”
"Yuehua," Mo Guhan knew that she had scruples in her heart, and called her very softly: "I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about your body, I can't wait to see you, don't you want me?" ”
Yuehua inside the door secretly sobbed and said decisively: "The concubine is in the body of Puliu, it is not a pity to die, it is not as important as the emperor's dragon body Kangtai!" Don't be willful, go back quickly. ”
The two of you say a word, I say a word, the true feelings are revealed, and I forget myself for a while.
The little eunuch on the ground was in a hurry, and he wanted to pour all the things in the bamboo pipe into his mouth and destroy the evidence of the crime!
Mo Guhan's eyes were quick, and as soon as he picked up his toes, he picked up the bamboo pipe and took it in his hand: "Come on, tie him up to me." ”
He didn't dare to alarm the Imperial Forest Army outside the Qingqiu Palace, lest the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager know about it, and Rong Xiang and Li Daitao were punished for pretending to be their own Buchen.
The two little eunuchs looked for a rope, stepped forward and tied up the villain tightly, and their subordinates secretly used their strength to make a ruthless move.
Mo Guhan looked at the bamboo tube in his hand, and sighed slightly: "Give it to the imperial doctor to see, what kind of medicine is it?" ”
When Zhou Yuan heard the movement, he happened to be in the courtyard, stepped forward and respectfully took the bamboo pipe, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, frowned, poured out a little in the palm of his hand, and carefully identified it under the lamp.
"Congratulations to the emperor!"
As soon as Mo Guhan heard this, he felt inexplicable: "Say! ”
Zhou Yuan didn't dare to sell Guan Zi, so he went straight to the point and said: "The queen mother and everyone in the Qingqiu Palace are not plague, but have been poisoned!" Everybody's all saved! ”
"Huh?" The courtyard immediately burst into exclamations, which could not be suppressed.
Mo Guhan stretched his eyebrows slightly: "What's going on, tell me the truth." ”
Zhou Yuan was in high spirits at this time, as if he had seen countless gold, silver and jewelry falling overwhelmingly towards him: "On the first day the villain entered the Qingqiu Palace, when he saw a doctor, he found that the people in the palace here were strange, not like ordinary plague. However, I am afraid that my medical skills are shallow, and I dare not assert it, so I can only treat the symptoms first, and then observe the after-effects.
The name of the poison contained in this bamboo tube is 'typhoid fever three-day drunk', which can be poisoned by breathing or eating, but those who are poisoned will have low-grade fever, vomiting, cough and many other symptoms, similar to the plague, which is very confusing. ”
"Is that life-threatening?"
"A small amount is fine, but if it is such a large dose, and then two or three times in a row, the body temperature rises, under the high fever, and the human body function is destroyed, and the poisoned person will have many sequelae such as dehydration, stupidity, deafness, etc., which can be fatal in serious cases."
The palace people in the courtyard were shocked when they heard this, and they all secretly sighed that they were lucky.
There are smart people who have suddenly woken up, and this matter is clearly that someone is secretly doing tricks, and through the plague, they can get rid of the queen mother without knowing it, and the ghost will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
Moreover, it is precisely because of the gimmick of the plague that no one in the Tai Hospital dares to enter the Qingqiu Palace, and no one dares to come to visit. As soon as the door is locked, even if they have any awareness or suspicion, they will not be able to reach the heavens, and they can only live and die.
Even if he died, it was a fire that burned the corpse clean, and there was no proof of it!
What a subtle calculation, but also a vicious method!
Mo Guhan's face sank suddenly, and in an instant, dark clouds were thick, dark and depressed: "Then is there a solution to this poison?" ”
Zhou Yuan nodded: "The villain happens to know this recipe." ”
"Prescribe the medicine immediately."
Zhou Yuan immediately received the order, and the people in the entire Qingqiu Palace were overjoyed as if they were in a desperate situation. If it weren't for the emperor here, I am afraid that I would have forgotten my form, raised my arms and cheered.
The little eunuch who was captured alive knew that he was in a catastrophe today, and he trembled and trembled.
Mo Guhan glanced at him and commanded in a cold voice: "Find a way to make him speak, how to torture you casually, but you must ask who instructed him to do this." ”
The two eunuchs who were holding the man gave the order and kicked him to the ground.
The two days of fear made all the palace people in the Qingqiu Palace indignant, with the same hatred of the enemy, facing the companions who were doing things behind their backs and almost putting themselves to death, naturally they were tortured to death, punches and kicks, needles and hands twisted, and all kinds of abuse methods emerged in an endless stream, and no one was pitied.
The little eunuch couldn't resist it, and immediately cried wolf. Mo Guhan frowned slightly, and immediately someone understood, and stepped forward to block his mouth.
The Imperial Forest Army guarding outside had heard the movement inside, but no one was willing to come forward to check, and now they heard the little eunuch's scream, lest something happen again, so they stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Hey, what's wrong? In the middle of the night, what are the ghosts crying and wolf howling? ”
Mama Qin turned her head to look at Mo Guhan, Mo Guhan shook his head, he didn't want to leave for the time being, and he was alerted by the other party.
She immediately understood, stepped forward to cover up, and said: "There is a palace man who suddenly fell ill, and it also disturbed the queen, and we have blocked his mouth." ”
The Imperial Forest Army was jealous in his heart, and immediately scolded and walked away.
The little eunuch was a little hard-mouthed, gritted his teeth and endured everyone's punches and kicks, and refused to confess.
Mo Guhan really understood this time, what is called "not seen for a day, such as every three autumns", he and Yuehua have only not seen each other for a day or two, and he is so longing in his heart that he can't care about the little eunuch, so he only commands: "You must stay alive!" Then he went up and knocked on the door of the Warm Pavilion.
Yuehua was afraid that Mo Guhan would be infected by herself, so she hid far away, only to hear the noisy and chaotic courtyard, which was very lively.
Mo Guhan's deep voice scolded, mixed with the little eunuch's mournful begging, miserable screams, and some people scolded and questioned angrily. Then someone was gagged, unable to make a sound, and there was chaos.
Yuehua mistakenly thought that someone had collided with Mo Guhan and was punished, but she didn't know what had happened. She was so anxious that she didn't dare to show up to inquire.
Hearing Mo Guhan knocking on the door, his voice, his people were close at hand, but he couldn't step forward, he only felt pain in his heart, like a knife cut, and only regarded this meeting as a parting of life and death, and burst into tears.
"Yuehua, open the door!"
Mo Guhan couldn't hear the movement inside, and knocked on the door again to urge anxiously.
Yuehua covered her mouth tightly, lest her choking voice be heard by Mo Guhan, and she barely calmed down her emotions before she trembled and persuaded: "Your Majesty, go quickly, don't let the concubine become a sinner through the ages." ”
Separated by a door, Yuehua's voice trembled again, and Mo Guhan couldn't really hear it for a while.
