Chapter 721 Murder and Silence
The guard took the medicine and sneaked in.
In the hunting ground, Shen Huo finally comforted He Suoyi, but saw a black bear pounce on him, Shen Huo had been comforting He Suoyi, and did not notice that the black bear next to him had been lurking for a long time, Shen Huo quickly picked up He Suoyi and put her on the horse.
At this time, the black bear roared, and pounced, Shen Huo bent his bow, and when the black bear opened his mouth, he used a lot of strength to shoot the arrow, and the arrow shot out was impartial, and it just passed through the mouth of the black bear, and the black bear fell to the ground in an instant, struggling for a long time. Shen Huo waited for a while, and when he saw that the black bear was no longer struggling, he stepped forward to check.
Just as Shen Huo was carefully inspecting and making sure that the black bear was dead, he just stood up when he saw another black bear running in front of him, which was the black bear attracted by the medicine powder that the guard had mixed into the hunting ground and sprinkled on the ground.
Shen Huo was shocked, hurriedly ran to He Suoyi's side, took the whip and whipped it hard, and said to He Suoyi: "Sit tight." After confirming that He Suoyi would not be chased by the black bear, Shen Huo and the black bear circled, Shen Huo attacked with wisps, but he couldn't hit the black bear, and gradually became powerless, the black bear was obviously provoked, and roared and rushed towards Shen Huo.
At this time, a light rain fell in the sky, Shen Huo closed his eyes, and said, "It seems that this generation of kings is going to die here." At this moment, I saw an arrow shot straight out of the jungle, hitting the black bear's vital point, the black bear was still struggling to pounce, Shen Huo hurriedly turned around and retreated, and then, the arrows in the jungle were fired together, and finally the black bear was subdued.
Shen Huo escaped, panting, only to see that the people in the jungle were led by Li Laodao, with a group of guards behind him.
Li Laodao knelt on the ground and said to Shen Huo: "Poor Dao is too late to save the driver, and I ask the emperor to punish him." Shen Huo was very puzzled and asked Li Laodao: "How do you know that I will encounter an accident." Li Laodao saved Shen Huo's life, and Shen Huo is now talking to Li Laodao much more politely.
Li Laodao slowly stood up, stroked his beard and said: "I said before that although the emperor has a dragon qi to protect his body, if he takes the disaster star with him in everything, the dragon energy will be damaged, and the emperor will also be harmed by the disaster star." This time, Shen Huo didn't get angry again, Shen Huo didn't believe in the theory of strange power and chaos, but now, he began to doubt, suspecting that He Suoyi was really possessed by the disaster star, causing chaos in the world.
Shen Huo asked Li Laodao: "Then I want to know, how did you calculate that I will encounter accidents." ”
Li Laodao still said unhurriedly: "Since the emperor wants to know, then Bendao will tell the emperor." Your Majesty, I just heard that the horse of one of the guards beside you suddenly went berserk and threw the guard down, is there such a thing? ”
Shen Huo nodded, and Li Laodao said again: "Did the black bear you hunt just now suddenly run out defenselessly, and the black bear that almost injured you just now also ran out without warning?" ”
Shen Huo nodded again, and Li Laodao said: "Poor Dao will tell the emperor about the stars now, the emperor is afraid that it will be difficult to understand for a while, and the poor Dao will tell the emperor the easiest to find." ”
Shen Huo was a little impatient, and said to Li Laodao: "Li Laodao, please speak." ”
Li Laodao then began to say: "Your Majesty, when the guard fell from his horse, did the weather change suddenly and the wind blew? Shen Huo thought about it carefully and said, "Yes." ”
Li Laodao said again: "When the emperor was attacked by a black bear, did it suddenly rain a few drops in the sky where the sun was shining. Shen Huo said: "Yes, it did rain a little just now, but I don't know, what is the connection between this and the disaster star?" ”
Li Laodao said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't know anything, the most likely cause of disasters is the sudden change in the weather, the light is suddenly windy, the heavy is suddenly emptied of rain, thunder and lightning. The surrounding guards were in an uproar, and Shen Huo also believed it a little.
In fact, this is just Li Laodao's nonsense, but after Li Laodao added a little color to it, everyone was convinced.
At this time, Li Laodao suddenly said: "Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, Poor Dao has now leaked the secret of heaven, and I don't know what kind of retribution I will suffer, Poor Dao heard that there are strange people in the palace, so let them help the emperor, Poor Dao knows that his fate is not long, I don't know if the emperor can let Poor Dao return to Lijia Village." ”
Shen Huo now believed in Li Laodao, so he agreed to Li Laodao's request. In fact, all this was arranged by Du Qinyue in advance, and she told Li Laodao that Shen Huo was suspicious, and if he stayed by Shen Huo's side for a long time, sooner or later, he would show his feet. said that as long as Shen Huo believed that He Suoyi was really a disaster star, Li Laodao would say goodbye to Shen Huo and could no longer let Shen Huo see him.
Li Laodao also agreed with Du Qinyue's statement, so he said goodbye to Shen Huo, Du Qinyue watched from a distance, and saw Li Laodao walking out of the hunting ground without incident, and walked farther and farther, he knew that Li Laodao had succeeded, and whispered a few words in the ear of the guard beside him, and the guard immediately disappeared from Du Qinyue's side and ran towards Li Laodao.
Li Laodao was triumphantly holding the silver tael in his hand, suddenly, a long sword pierced his chest from behind, Li Laodao didn't look back until he died, to see who killed him, the guard disposed of Li Laodao's body, and quietly returned to Du Qinyue's side again.
The words that Du Qinyue whispered in the guard's ear were: "If you want a person to keep it secret forever, then let him stop talking......"
This time, the news has reached the ears of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was very surprised when she heard it, and she was also very worried about Shen Huo, so she ordered someone to pick up He Suoyi from Nanyuan.
At this time, He Suoyi rode a horse, had already gone out of the hunting ground, listening to the news of the guards inside, he was also worried, anxiously waiting, Shen Huo walked out surrounded by a group of people, and saw He Suoyi's face was not good, He Suoyi did not know why, his heart was slightly lost, at this time, the person sent by the Queen Mother came to pick up He Suoyi back to the palace.
He Suoyi looked at Shen Huo, saw that Shen Huo did not stop him, and said to the person sent by the Queen Mother: "The queen is really not suitable for here, let her go back with you." He Suoyi was very sad when he heard it. But there was no way, so she had to follow the Queen Mother's people back to the palace, on the way back to the palace, He Suoyi was suspicious, she felt that someone must be making a hindrance and deliberately wanted to alienate Shen Huo, but who could this person be? He Suoyi thought all the way, but he didn't come up with a reason.
After He Suoyi left, only Du Qinyue and Wei Guiren were left in Nanyuan, Du Qinyue said to Wei Guiren: "This palace has just angered the emperor, and it is not easy to talk in front of the emperor, you have just recently been crowned a nobleman, and it is good to talk in front of the emperor, and the next thing will be handed over to you, you know what to do." ”
Wei Guiren nodded and said, "Don't worry, the concubine knows what to do." Du Qinyue waved her hand and motioned for Wei Guiren to go now, Wei Guiren took his clothes and saluted, and then turned around and went to Shen Huo's side.
Du Qinyue watched from afar, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart, if it weren't for He Zhiyi, she would have been by Shen Huo's side by now, and some people were looking for Wei Guiren to go, Du Qinyue clenched her fists angrily, thinking, she must put He Zhizhi to death this time, so that she would never be able to turn over again.
Du Qinyue thought like this, Wei Guiren had already walked to Shen Huo's side, Du Qinyue saw that Shen Huo did not reject Wei Guiren, sighed, turned around, and returned to the sedan chair.
Shen Huo was frightened, coupled with the fact that Li Laodao said that He Suoyi was a disaster star, and now he was in a very bad state, Wei Guiren moved lightly, slowly walked to Shen Huo's side, blessed his body, and said softly: "The concubine has seen the emperor." Shen Huo saw that it was Wei Guiren who came, and he didn't reject it much.
Shen Huo now has a little belief in He Suoyi's statement that he is a disaster star, he thinks that Li Laodao's words may be right, but he still doesn't want to believe it, He Suoyi has always been good before, why did he suddenly become a disaster star, he still doubts, suspects that someone is obstructing it, and suspects that someone wants to harm He Suoyi.
Wei Guiren gently rubbed Shen Huo's temples, and the sun gently shone on Shen Huo's body, which was warm, making Shen Huo feel a lot more comfortable, at this time, Wei Guiren spoke: "Does the emperor really believe that the queen mother is the disaster star that Li Lao Dao said?" ”
Shen Huo slowly opened his eyes and said in confusion: "Believe it, and don't believe it." ”
Wei Guiren smiled and said: "The concubine knows what the emperor means, and the emperor thinks that the queen mother can't be a disaster star, but what happened today makes the emperor have to think that the queen mother is a disaster star." Shen Huo closed his eyes again and nodded.
Wei Guiren said again: "The concubine heard that Li Laodao told a guard that the queen mother was not actually born to be a disaster star, on the contrary, the queen mother's life is very good, but later, the wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed, and the disaster star came down to earth, which coincided with the queen mother just giving birth, and the roots were weak, coupled with production, the body was ruined, so the disaster star took the opportunity to invade the queen mother's body, and all the queen mothers would become disaster stars." ”
Shen Huo was suddenly shocked when he heard Wei Guiren's words, yes, how could he forget this, he remembered that the guard who had his tongue cut off at that time, so he told himself these words, but he was angry and angry at that time, and he didn't listen to this passage.
Shen Huo sighed, and Wei Guiren asked Shen Huo gently: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you." ”
Shen Huo opened his mouth and said: "The reason why I didn't want to believe it before was not only because of the love between me and the queen, but because I was thinking about one thing, if the queen was really a disaster star, then for so many years, nothing had ever happened, why had so many things happened in the past two days, and now that I heard your words, I suddenly understood......
Wei Guiren smiled slightly, she knew that their plan had been achieved, and Shen Huo was now even more convinced that he was unknown.
