Chapter 384: Miserable Situation!
Baili Moxu did this firstly to take the opportunity to show loyalty to Baili Mingjiang, and secondly, to bet that Baili Mingjiang would not accept his military power now. How could he afford to watch the Khmer family dominate? Even if he was on guard against this son, he wanted him to expand the territory for himself.
Of course, Baili Moxu is not afraid of losing his own bets. Because now he understands that his time is short, if his father wants to take back this military power, then take it back, just let him spend more time with his mother in the remaining years, and he can also have more time to secretly do more things for his beloved woman.
And in this round, it is clear that neither of them lost. In this battle of wits and courage, both father and son are winners. Baili Moxu won the trust of Baili Mingjiang, and Baili Mingjiang also won the opportunity to recover the military power. Baili Moxu's sentence "After this battle, please ask my father to discuss it again" undoubtedly gave Baili Mingjiang a reason and excuse to withdraw his military power in the future.
However, today's Baili Moxu doesn't have so much mind to care about the win or loss of this battle of wits, and Dongfang Miao's safety is his biggest concern. Walking into Ci'an Pavilion quickly, ignoring the greetings of the palace people, Baili Moxu walked directly to the inner room.
Ah Yi was still guarding the door, and when he saw Baili Moxu, a trace of guilt flashed on his face, this queen was poisoned under his care, and her appearance was ruined, and he naturally felt uncomfortable.
"Prince Xu!" When Baili Moxu approached, Ah Yi knelt down on one knee and buried his head very low, "Ah Yi failed to take good care of the queen's mother, and please punish Prince Xu!"
"Get up! This matter has not yet been clarified, my father has his own judgment, this king only asks you to take good care of this Ci'an Pavilion from now on, and don't let people hurt the queen mother again!" Baili Mingjiang didn't do it, and he wouldn't do it.
"The slave understands!" Ah Yi stood up, and Baili Moxu had already walked into the inner room.
There was a closed window in the inner room, the light was dim, silent, and the poisoned Dongfang Miao was still in a coma, lying on the bed, her breath was weak, and her green hair was scattered, covering half of her face, and there was nothing abnormal from a distance. And Baili Moxu had already learned from the secret letter that the face under the green silk was blurred with flesh and blood, and there was a hint of rot.
Standing silently at the head of the bed, it was naturally Mama Li and Lan'er. The two of them heard the sound of footsteps, and at the same time were startled, and when they looked back, they saw that the person who came was actually a hundred miles of Moxu, and immediately gave a salute with tears in their eyes, calling "Lord Xu", looking at the Dongfang Miao on the bed, it was really sad from the heart. The queen, who is obviously good, was still very affectionate with the emperor a few days ago, but she was implicated in the murder of the Seventh Prince for no reason, and then she was poisoned for no reason, and became what she is now, how can these two loyal slaves and maids accept it?
"Get up, the queen mother doesn't like to see people crying and crying. You have been with her for many years and know her best. Baili Moxu helped him with his empty hand, and the person had already walked to the bed, sat down on the bed, stretched out his hand to pull away Dongfang Miao's hair, suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice, "Lan'er, open the window, the air in this room is too turbid." β
"Yes, Lord Xu!" Lan'er wiped her tears as she walked to the window and gently pushed the window open, and the fresh air swept in with a chill.
Baili Moxu stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for Dongfang Miao, and looked up at Mama Li, "Go and change two soup women for the queen mother!"
"Okay!" Mama Li put her hand into the quilt, took out the two soup women who were about to get cold, and turned around and walked out of the room.
Only then did Baili Moxu look at Dongfang Miao in a coma, his pale face, slightly cracked lips, and his brows were also frowned in his sleep, which was pitiful. Baili Moxu's heart ached, and he whispered, "Queen Mother, Xu'er is back." He reached out to shake her hand, only to find that her hands were wrapped in gauze.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally reached out to pry away the green silk that was deliberately covering his face, Rao is Baili Moxu had already prepared his thoughts, and he still gasped when he saw Dongfang Miao's face, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.
It turned out that the scalp under the green silk was bloodstained, and half of the face was even more bloody and blurry, and there was no skin to be found at all, only carrion remained, and the only thing that was fortunate was that the area around the eye socket was good, maybe the eyeballs should be fine.
Baili Moxu's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he called Lan'er, who was crying behind him, in a hoarse voice, "Go, get some hot water." β
After Lan'er left, Baili Moxu summoned Nini hidden on her body and asked her to see what kind of poison was in Dongfang Miao.
Nini didn't expect this queen to be killed like this, looking at Daddy's clenched fists, she completely imagined the anger in his heart at this time. It stretched out its little paws and touched Dongfang Miao's scalp and face, and then put it in its mouth and tasted it, and then said to SΓΉ Baili Moxu, "Daddy, this is a strange poison, once it is poisoned, it will feel extremely itchy, and then it will keep scratching the poisoned place until it scratches the skin and the flesh is blurred." β
"You mean, the queen mother's face was scratched by herself?" Baili Moxu frowned, "Did someone put poison on her hair and one side of her face? β
"I don't know, but you can ask the guard at the door. As Nini was talking, she heard footsteps outside, and immediately hid back in stealth.
Mama Li walked in with two soup ladies in her arms, followed by Lan'er with hot water. Baili Moxu wet the square handkerchief, wiped Dongfang Miao's head and face carefully, and then took apart the gauze on his hand, and wiped the bloody and blurred hand clean, without the slightest fear and disgust. The two slaves and maids were happy for Dongfang Miao in their hearts, even if they suffered such a sin, they were happy to have such a son.
After purifying his face, Baili Moxu took out the ointment given by Murong Huan and gently wiped it on his scalp, face and hands, a cold fragrance gradually dispersed, and Dongfang Miao's frowning brows stretched.
"Pour a cup of tea!" Baili Moxu's heart moved, and he poured out a pill from the jade bottle, helped Dongfang Miao half of his body, and gently opened his mouth to feed the medicine.
Fortunately, although Dongfang Miao was unconscious, she also knew how to swallow, and the pill entered her stomach along the water.
"You didn't see it just now!" Baili Moxu warned Mama Li and Lan'er with lip words at the same time, these two people are still very trusting, and they are the most powerful henchmen around the queen mother, since he ordered it, they naturally will not tell the matter of giving the queen mother medicine.
Mama Li and Lan'er have always known that the prince and the queen mother have a deep relationship with the mother, and the medicine used for her must be a good medicine, and they definitely have no intention of harming the queen mother, but this palace is really dangerous, there are murderous intentions everywhere, the prince wants them to keep it secret, naturally there is a reason for the prince, so he nodded hurriedly and kept silent.
Of course, Su Yiming's medicine is good, but Baili Moxu doesn't want Baili Mingjiang to know that he has the medicine that the master of the Xiaoyao Sect has personally refined, not to mention that this medicine is for Murong Huan, and I am afraid that there is only one in the world. As long as Dongfang Miao's face recovers, Baili Mingjiang will definitely become interested in this elixir, and when the time comes, Su Yiming will be involved, and even "Miss Qiu" will be involved, and it will inevitably not expose Murong Huan's identity and some things about herself. Just in case, Baili Moxu must leave a hand.
Seeing that Dongfang Miao swallowed the medicine, Baili Moxu gently flattened her and rebandaged her hand, and saw that Lan'er hid the gauze, which asked her to call Ah Yi in.
"Lord Xu, your name is a minion?" Ah Yi walked in behind Lan'er, standing behind Baili Moxu with his head down, without any expression on his face.
"Ah Yi, you tell this king in detail about the poisoning of the queen mother, don't miss any details!"
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Ah Yi's voice was very soft, "That night the Seventh Prince died, His Majesty rushed to Ci'an Pavilion in the middle of the night, entered this inner room and talked to the queen mother for half an hour, and then His Majesty walked out of the door with a smile, called out the slave, and ordered the slave to stay at the door, neither let anyone in, nor allow the queen mother to come out." At that time, His Majesty said that if there was no such thing as his will, the queen would have temporarily meditated in the house. Since that night, the minion has been guarding outside this house, although every night the minion will also nap when he stands, but every time the minion is at the pole, he will light a burning incense in his hand, this incense is two inches long, as long as it burns to the end, it will burn the minion's hand, so the minion will not nap for too long every time. β
Baili Moxu listened quietly and did not speak. He also knows this incense, and he and his subordinates are also using it, which is a tool used for a short rest in special circumstances, so as not to fall asleep. As his father's secret guard, Ah Yi was ordered to stay outside this door, it was obviously impossible to stay awake, he was a human being and not a god, so he would use incense, take a nap when he was too tired, and wake up immediately when his hands burned, in such a short period of time, with his cultivation, it is almost impossible to blend in with a person.
"The night before yesterday, the queen wanted to bathe, and the slave personally sent hot water and wooden barrels into the door, and when the mother finished bathing, it was also the slave who went into the house to clean up, and the mother looked the same as usual, there was nothing wrong, but she slept a little later. In the middle of the night, the slave seemed to hear the queen mother tossing and turning, but there was no other sound. However, in the morning, I didn't see the queen call someone to deliver water, and no one answered when she called her outside the door, and the slave felt that something was wrong, so he ordered Mama Li to take a look first, and found that the queen had fainted on the bed, her face was bloody, and her hands were rotten, so miserable. β
"What happened later?" Baili Moxu looked at Dongfang Miao, with shallow sadness and distress in his eyes. R1154
