Chapter 149: Fake Death
The emperor was already angry because of the news of the death of the fourth prince, and just woke up, when suddenly another guard rushed into the palace.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, the queen mother knows about the Prime Minister, and she has a miscarriage!" The guard said tremblingly.
And the emperor, who was already very angry, directly spurted out a mouthful of blood when he heard this, and his eyes were vicious.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright? You must take care of your dragon's body! The Duke De on the side was frightened when he saw the emperor vomiting blood.
Although he has been in the palace for many years, he has never seen such a scene, the four princes were killed in one day, the emperor was angry and vomited blood, and the queen mother was so angry that she miscarried, what is this!
"Someone, call Bai Zixu to me, let him execute Mu Ruoxue with his own hands, and I must kill the daughter of the criminal minister!" The emperor said angrily, and then coughed violently.
The guard received the order and immediately retreated.
And Bai Zixu already knew about what was happening in the palace today, and was hurrying to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and just walked outside the Heart Cultivation Hall when he heard what the emperor had just said.
The guard saw that Bai Zixu was just about to speak, but Bai Zixu stopped him, and said, "I know about this matter, I'll do it myself!" ”
Then, he came all the way to the side hall, at this moment Mu Ruoxue was still sitting in the side hall with a cold face, seeing that the door of the side hall was opened again, Mu Ruoxue slowly turned her head, and there was still no emotion in her eyes when she saw Bai Zixu.
Bai Zixu looked at Mu Ruoxue like this and felt very distressed, but he still had a serious look on his face, and said: "Mu Ruoxue, the daughter of the criminal minister, is now rebellious, killed the prince, and was given death immediately!" ”
Then he took the tray held by the four people behind him, there was a pot of wine, a pill and a dagger on the tray, and Bai Zixu personally put the tray in front of Mu Ruoxue.
"Choose one! Don't let us get our hands dirty! Bai Zixu looked at Mu Ruoxue Dao, and his eyes glanced at the pills in the tray intentionally or unintentionally.
Bai Zixu's movements were fully watched by Mu Ruoxue, of course Mu Ruoxue knew what Bai Zixu meant, but she was afraid that the pill was not a poison, but was specially prepared by Bai Zixu.
Now she can't die, she must live well, she promised Mu Hanyun that no matter what happens in the future, she will live well! And she must avenge Mu Hanyun! So she had to get out of here alive.
Then, Mu Ruoxue slowly picked up the pill and put it in her mouth, and after a while, Mu Ruoxue only felt a dizziness in her brain, and a trace of black blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, and then she was completely unconscious.
Seeing this, Bai Zixu stepped forward and probed Mu Ruoxue's snort, and said, "She's dead!" Take her body with me to the emperor. ”
Then, the guards behind Bai Zixu stepped forward and put Mu Ruoxue's body on a stretcher.
"Weichen has seen the emperor, and Mu Ruoxue, the daughter of the criminal minister, has now committed suicide by taking poison." Bai Zixu looked at the emperor and said lightly.
When the emperor heard this, he gave Duke De a look, and Duke De immediately understood what the emperor meant, and immediately came to Mu Ruoxue's corpse to probe Mu Ruoxue's snort in person.
"Back to the emperor, Mu Ruoxue has indeed lost her breath." Virtue and justice.
When the emperor heard this, he still stared at Mu Ruoxue indignantly, and said: "This woman dared to kill the prince in the palace, she was so bold, she didn't take the royal family in her eyes at all, and dragged her body out to feed the dogs!" ”
Bai Zixu's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Please also ask the emperor to think twice, now that the prime minister is dead, if Mu Ruoxue's body is being subjected to capital punishment, everyone will inevitably feel that the emperor is too unkind, after all, the matter of collaborating with the enemy and treason was done by the prime minister alone, and now that Mu Ruoxue is dead, why should the emperor be upsetting the ministers of the court." ”
The emperor pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said: "Okay, okay, she is dead now, the body will be handed over to you to deal with, this matter must be dealt with, and no legacy will be left." ”
"Yes, Wechen will handle it properly." Bai Zixu said, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, go down, go down!" The emperor said, then rubbed his temples, his face was bored, and then he began to cough violently, and even coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He was really angry to death about what happened today, not only did Shen Suixin's body not be found, but now he also lost two princes!
And after Bai Zixu left the Heart Cultivation Palace, he quickly left the palace with Mu Ruoxue's body and returned to the White Palace.
When Mu Ruoxue opened her eyes again, she was greeted by a strange room, and Bai Zixu's face gradually became clear.
"Ruoxue, you finally woke up, how do you feel now? What's wrong? Bai Zixu saw Mu Ruoxue wake up and immediately asked.
In fact, since returning to the White Palace, Bai Zixu has been staying in front of Mu Ruoxue's bed, and with such a big incident today, Mu Ruoxue must have been hit hard, and he didn't dare to leave for fear that Mu Ruoxue would have an accident.
Mu Ruoxue sat up slowly, only to feel that her head was very swollen and painful, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, looked at Bai Zi and said lightly: "I'm fine!" ”
"In the eyes of outsiders, you are dead now, the limelight outside has been very tight recently, you just have a good rest in my house, don't think too much about what happens, I will protect you!" Bai Zixu looked at Mu Ruoxuedao.
In fact, since Mu Ruoxue said that she was going to pour Shen Suixin's body out of the imperial mausoleum, Bai Zixu had already thought of today's situation, so he prepared a fake death medicine in advance, looking at Mu Ruoxue, who was now pale, Bai Zixu was very distressed.
"Where's my father's body?" Mu Ruoxue asked lightly.
"Now it is hung on the city wall by the emperor, and it is guarded by heavy soldiers." Bai Zixu said.
Mu Ruoxue slowly closed her eyes when she heard this, two crystal tears crossed her cheeks, and her hand tightly covered the quilt.
"Ruoxue, your most important task now is to hide yourself, you must not let the emperor find out that you are still alive, you must not be impulsive, you want to take revenge in the future, there is an opportunity, don't rush for a while!" Bai Zixu said, looking at Mu Ruoxue's expression, Bai Zixu knew that Mu Ruoxue was very heartbroken.
hurriedly dissuaded Mu Ruoxue, for fear that she would go to the emperor to seek revenge at this time, which would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
"Don't worry! I'm not that stupid, I also know the situation in front of me, you go and do your business, don't worry about me, I won't cause you trouble! Mu Ruoxue said lightly, there was no trace of emotional fluctuation in her eyes, and then she slowly lay down.
Seeing this, Bai Zixu didn't say anything, but slowly exited the room.
And the atmosphere in the palace at this time was also extremely tense, Li Luo listened to the dark wind after reporting what happened after Mu Ruoxue entered the palace today, his eyes were as cold as ice, the temperature of the entire room dropped by a few degrees, and the maids standing on the side were even careful to breathe.
"Come on, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with this king!" Li Luo spoke, his tone cold.
Subsequently, Li Luo took people directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, because he didn't believe that Mu Ruoxue would die, and he had to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion for Mu Ruoxue, but as soon as he walked to the door, Bai Zixu's voice came from behind him.
"Leaving the prince, where are you going?" Bai Zixu looked at Li Luodao, and he knew that Li Luo would definitely come to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as he knew the news.
Hearing this, Li Luo turned around and glanced at Bai Zixu, ran over and grabbed Bai Zixu's neckline, his eyes were cold, and said, "I heard that you took someone to watch Ruoxue commit suicide by taking poison!" ”
"That is the emperor's order, she killed the four princes, the crime is unforgivable!" Bai Zi said emptyly, but there was a different message in his eyes.
"Now it's better not to meddle in this matter from the prince, the Prime Minister's Mansion has become the target of everyone, and the emperor specially ordered me to seal the Prime Minister's Mansion, is it possible that the King wants to resist the decree?" Bai Zixu looked at Li Luodao.
Hearing this, Li Luo let go of Bai Zixu and said, "What if I want to take care of it!" ”
"Humph! Now that the body of the Prime Minister is hanging on the city wall, the emperor said that if anyone interferes in this matter again, it will end up the same as the Prime Minister! Bai Zixu said, his eyes flashed with a different emotion.
Li Luo didn't say anything more and turned around and left, he just understood what Bai Zixu meant, Mu Ruoxue is safe and sound now, he has to find a way to take the prime minister's body away.
Although today's things were very bad, as long as he knew that Mu Ruoxue was okay now, his heart was relieved.
