Chapter Twenty-Three: Relocation of the Golden Gate Palace (Revision)
The heavy black chains were worn on the wrists and ankles again.
Han Qing looked at the hay on the ground in a daze, and the whole person seemed to be empty, leaving only a beautiful shell.
"General Mu, Prime Minister Yan, he still doesn't get in." The palace maid took the untouched meal, and said respectfully to Murong Bai and Yan Zijin who came in.
Han Qing hadn't eaten a drop of water for two days and two nights.
Murong Bai frowned, and glanced at Yan Zijin, both of whom were very puzzled.
Murong Bai waved her hand to let her go down, and the two walked to the cell door to observe Han Qing, who was extremely thin and depressed.
Three days ago, the eunuch who got up in the morning in the palace found Han Qing unconscious, so he caught him without much effort.
Han Qing fainted in the rain, suffered from cold and high fever for three days, fell unconscious, and the decoction did not drip, and finally everyone poured it in.
On the morning of the fourth day, after Han Qing woke up by himself, he didn't say a word, and he was very silent.
At that time, they thought he was making a show, and there was some conspiracy, and they couldn't understand it, so they secretly observed it for two days, and finally realized that something was not quite right about him.
In prison, I either slept for a long time, or I was in a daze for a long time, and I didn't say a word, as if I had lost my soul.
Murong Bai and Yan Zijin stood outside the prison door, and when they saw him lifeless, they couldn't help frowning, and they couldn't figure out the situation.
After asking his men to unlock the lock, the two approached the cell and observed him up close for a long time, and found that his eyes were not even focused.
"Han Qing?" Murong Bai shouted, but Han Qing didn't react, still letting go of the air.
"Hey, Han Qing." Yan Zijin patted him on the shoulder, and found that the touch under his hand was a little awkward.
Han Qing blinked without changing the frequency, like a puppeteer, Murong Bai was a little at a loss when he encountered this situation for the first time, and thought: What happened to Han Qing?
"Han Qing, what trick are you playing?" Yan Zijin took a fan and deliberately fanned the wind hard in front of him.
Han Qing still didn't have a trace of change in his expression, and the two closed the cell door and walked outside.
Yan Zijin put a fan against his chin, thought and said, "This Han Qing fought with you before, and he was still very arrogant when he escaped from the palace, why did his personality become silent after he came back?"
"Han Qing escaped from Sima Huan, did he do something to Han Qing?" Murong Bai thought of Sima Huan's disrespectful behavior towards Han Qing on March 3, and said suspiciously.
"It's hard to say." Yan Zijin tapped his chin and said.
"Han Qing obviously fled, why did he return to the palace and be deliberately arrested. According to his personality, he should have fled a long time ago, is there any purpose for staying in the palace now, and if so, what is the purpose? Murong Bai has been thinking about this for the past few days.
"Unexpected." Yan Zi knocked on his chin and said, his eyes rolled as if he thought of something: "By the way, what did Mo County Ling say after coming to see Han Qing yesterday."
"He said that above his son's right chest, there was a cinnabar mole growing in the sky, I checked it first, and Han Qing did have it. But when I saw Han Qingdi's cold appearance when I saw Kong Xianling, I didn't feel like an ordinary father and son, of course, it could also be the indifference caused by the father and son not being together since childhood. Do you have a clue about the poison? Murong Bai turned his head and asked.
"Poison, there is no record in the palace, it should be brought in from outside the palace. After hearing the classics, the imperial physician said that the poison called Baihuachun, which was a poison in the north. When mixed with wine, it can cause people to go crazy and die.
However, there are several herbal formulas in it, but they are southern medicinal herbs.
And, Sima Huan has been fighting in Mobei all year round, and it is very likely that these poison prescriptions will be obtained. Yan Ziqing frowned and said.
Murong Bai and Yan Zijin looked at each other, and they both sighed, their eyes full of puzzlement.
"Let's go. Let's not think about it, Jun Ye is waiting for us to drink in the wine shop, and Han Qing will definitely show the fox's tail if there is a conspiracy. ”
Yan Zijin knocked on the fan, and Murong Bai's chest stopped him from continuing to think deeply.
The two of them each picked up the oil-paper umbrella leaning against the corner, stretched the umbrella bones, lifted the hem of their robes, and walked away.
After Murong Bai drank the wine, he was still thinking about Han Qing in his heart, and returned to the palace.
As soon as he walked to the door of the cell where Han Qing was being held, he saw Sima Huan's little servant guarding the door, looking a little strange.
As soon as he approached Murong Bai, he was stretched out to block the way, and the little servant said, "Our general is interrogating the prisoner, and we are not allowed to disturb."
Murong Bai frowned, picked up the token on his waist and said solemnly: "I am ordered by the emperor to be in charge of this interrogation, if you stop me, I will turn back and show the emperor that you interfere with my interrogation, it is good to have your board, and let me in quickly."
The little guy pulled Murong aside, and said in a soft tone: "General Mu, our general has only been in for a short time, for the sake of colleagues, don't mess with good things."
"What's good?" Murong Bai's tone was a little unkind.
"Naturally, that's the kind of thing." As soon as the little guy's words fell, Murong Bai shook off his hand and broke into the cell, the little guy guarding the door was so bold that he dared to draw a knife to stop it.
Apparently on someone's orders.
Murong Bai's skills are naturally difficult for ordinary people to resist, and the little guy was defeated in less than ten moves, and was broken into by Murong Bai.
As soon as Murong Bai entered, he saw the door of the cell being opened with a big grin, and heard Han Qing's faint shout from inside, and his heart tightened.
When he arrived, he saw Sima Huan pressing the struggling Han Qing to the ground, and the last clothes on his body had been retreated.
"Sima Huan, what are you doing!" Murong Bai's blood rushed to his head, his angry eyes were red, and the long sword angrily pointed at Sima Huan's neck and shouted angrily.
Sima Huan stopped kissing, turned around and saw Murong Bai, touching Han Qing's smooth back with his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Rong Bai, look at the beauty of Chenghuan."
"No, you leave for me immediately, otherwise I will tell the emperor immediately." Murong Bai's long sword was still pointed at Sima Huan and threatened.
"Hehe, General Mu, you're serious, Huan will leave."
Sima Huan patted Han Qing's ass ambiguously in front of Murong Bai, and said with a smile: "Huan, I'll come to you next time."
"Don't touch him—" Murong Bai gritted his teeth and shouted uncontrollably, green tendons forming on his smooth forehead.
"Hehe, General Mu protects Han and the horse so much, does he also love him?" Sima Huan's subordinates froze, squinted their eyes and said dangerously.
He suddenly remembered that Han Qing had said on the sedan chair that he admired Murong Bai and Li Junye, and he was willing to carry a urinal.
"He's not someone you can insult." Murong Bai said coldly, as if a layer of frost had formed on his jade face.
"I didn't expect General Mu to have a day of anger, Huan Ke remembered." Sima Huan unhurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on, and when his body passed through Murong Bai, there was a deep danger in his teasing tone.
Murong Bai couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw Han Qing silently picking up the broken clothes and covering his points tightly, so he inserted the sword back into the scabbard, squatted down, put his arm on his shoulder and asked with concern, "How are you?"
Han Qing slowly turned his head to look at the hand on his shoulder, and said calmly, "Let go."
Murong Bai felt that he had offended him, and quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I should have come earlier."
"If you come early, if you come late, if you come the first time, you will come a second time." Han Qing turned his back and said quietly, Murong Bai saw that there were still a few red kiss marks on his back, and he felt extremely ironic.
Murong Bai took off his cloak, covered him, and said pityingly: "I will explain this matter to the emperor and ask him to change the place for you."
"Did he force you on the way back last time, so you've been so quiet for the past two days?" Murong Bai asked cautiously, for fear of touching Han Qing's wounds.
Han Qing didn't speak, and there was an awkward silence in the air.
Murong Bai finally understood why Han Qing was in the cave that day, and he would say that his beauty was a disaster. Beauty is innocent, but it is the human heart that is guilty.
Han Qing's silence made Murong Bai's heart even more uncomfortable, a person like Han Qing who was arrogant must have encountered this kind of same-sex insult before, which was difficult to accept, so it was so abnormal in the past two days.
"I'll have someone get you a shower." Murong Bai stood up and walked out of the cell and said, Han Qing still didn't answer him.
Han Qing listened to the footsteps moving away, and silently spread out his palms, holding a bunch of keys that had just been passed from Sima Huan's body in his palm.
The thin lips hooked a sneer, Sima Huan wanted to take advantage of him, and he had to accept it. He had heard Murong Bai's voice at the door before, so he gave up fighting back and endured Sima Huan's disgusting touch.
At this moment, while Han Qing was bathing, a small meeting was also held in the emperor's imperial study, where Mu Yun's four beautiful men gathered.
"Scum!"
"Kinky!"
"Whore!"
Xiao Jingyu and the others, after listening to what happened in Murong Bai's cell, slapped the table angrily and scolded.
"Sima Huan is too arrogant, although it is said that Han Qing has a bad stomach, but it is too much to be insulted like this." Yan Zijin slapped the table hatefully, extremely angry.
"It's really bolder to dare to break into the prison cell by breaking the order." Xiao Jingyu poured a cup of tea and said slowly, no emotion could be seen in Feng's eyes.
"It's a pity." Li Junye shook his head and said with an unfortunate sigh.
"Your Majesty, Han Qing is placed in the place where he is now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, you must find a safe place." Murong Bai half-knelt on the ground and said with his fists clenched.
"Where do you see fit?" Xiao Jingyu turned the teacup and looked around at the three of them and asked.
"Han Qing's identity is special, so he must not be placed in an ordinary prison, and we must also determine whether he colluded with the harem concubines to poison him, and he cannot be imprisoned, so it is better to be locked in the previous Jinque Palace and send someone to strengthen the guard."
Li Junye put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice, and the others nodded one after another.
"Then, as you said, imprison Han Qing in the previous palace." Xiao Jingyu steadily put the teacup on the table, and said with a smile.
"This kind of thing happened to Han Qing, what should the emperor do with Sima Huan now?" Murong Bai asked again.
"It's not good for me to show up in this matter, so I'll let Aiqing handle it." Xiao Jingyu picked up the teacup and said with a smile.
Murong Bai frowned slightly, and if he let him deal with it, he would not be able to recover the debt for Han Qing. His family didn't allow it either, and he provoked too much trouble.
Murong Bai was bitter in his heart, Han Qing was victimized for no reason, and he couldn't do justice.
