Chapter 388: The Truth Comes Out
Mu Xiaofeng walked in front of the maid at this time, his expression immediately sank, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you have anything else to defend?" β
The maid shook her head, she first bowed slightly to Mu Xiaofeng, and then said: "Lord Mu Xiaofeng, what the housekeeper said is right, I was sent by Her Royal Highness Jin Lili to serve Prince Jin Shanshan, and the death of the prince was also instructed by Her Royal Highness Jin Lili to do it." β
Mu Xiaofeng saw that the maid actually admitted it, so he sent someone to lock the maid up, and the rest of the people let go.
At this time, Jin Meimei was still puzzled, she didn't know why Mu Xiaofeng wanted to arrest this maid who was related to Jin Lili, so she took advantage of everyone to leave, and asked Mu Xiaofeng directly: "Mu Xiaofeng, you know that Jin Lili has nothing to do with this matter, but why do you still arrest this maid?" β
"Yes, Jin Lili doesn't seem to have anything to do with this matter, but why would this maid admit it?" Mu Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and then continued: "The key link to support you to ascend the throne is to get rid of Jin Lili, but if Jin Lili's death is blamed, then this link can be achieved." β
Jin Meimei suddenly realized after listening to Mu Xiaofeng's explanation, although she could guess that this was the scapegoat arranged by Second Sister Luo, but how could she associate this maid with Second Sister Luo?
Mu Xiaofeng saw Jin Meimei's puzzled expression, and naturally knew that she hadn't figured it out, so he smiled slightly, just letting Jin Meimei wait to watch the show.
At night, a figure suddenly climbed over the high wall and climbed into the golden mansion, only to see this person instantly knock down the guards guarding the maid.
The maid who was in the room heard a movement outside the door, and cried out, "Who is outside?" β
This person pushed the door directly, this person turned out to be Luo Dada, the maid had only met Luo Dada a few times, and she didn't know that Luo Da would come to save herself.
"I came to rescue you on the orders of my second sister, come with me." Luo Dada took the maid's hand at this time and wanted to go out the door.
But the maid shook her head and replied: "Lord Luo, I can't go with you, I have an agreement with Second Sister Luo, I am an important witness to Jin Lili, as long as Jin Lili's crime can be successfully confirmed, we can support Her Royal Highness Jin Meimei to ascend to the throne." β
Luo Dada was stunned at this time, Mu Xiaofeng asked himself to test this maid, but he didn't expect this maid to admit her relationship with Second Sister Luo so quickly. He had never thought that the maid would have a connection with Second Sister Luo, after all, Second Sister Luo had never mentioned this matter to him.
"In that case, I won't be able to take you away by force, but I don't know anything about it, and I have to ask the maid."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Luo Dada took out the blood cuckoo from his arms, this blood cuckoo is a good medicine for blood circulation and blood stasis, I don't know why he wants to take this medicine.
At this time, Mu Xiaofeng and Jin Meimei, who were eavesdropping outside the door, held their breath, and they also wanted to know what the ins and outs of this matter were.
"Come in! Don't eavesdrop outside the door, I can tell you all the truth now. The maid smiled at Luo Dada, which shocked Luo Dada into a cold sweat, it turned out that the maid had already discovered that this was a game they had worked together.
Mu Xiaofeng's face was gloomy, her brows were tightly locked, and she slowly walked into the room, while Jin Meimei beside her was a little flustered, she kept looking left and right.
When the maid saw Jin Meimei, she nodded slightly, and then said, "It seems that Her Royal Highness Jin Meimei didn't tell Lord Luo everything!" The blood cuckoo is used to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, but if it is poisonous, it will only make the toxin flow faster throughout the body. β
When Mu Xiaofeng heard this, he instantly understood, the blood cuckoo will shorten the onset time of the toxin, but there is no poison in the meal, only it may be that the maid was poisoned when she was treating Prince Jin Shanshan, which is why the people of the Luo family instigated General Duanmu to assassinate Jin Shanshan, they just wanted Jin Shanshan to leave a wound.
"However, I have checked all the medicines in your Golden Shining Prince's Mansion, and this medicine itself cannot form the kind of poisoning symptoms of the Golden Shining Prince, whether it is from raw materials or synthesis." Mu Xiaofeng still didn't understand, but the maid's next words made Mu Xiaofeng completely shocked.
"Lord Mu Xiaofeng, you must be very familiar with the Blood Spirit Family, this is the latest corpse poison invented by our Blood Spirit Immortal Lord, and I have this poison in my body." The maid showed a sinister smile at this time, and her whole face was no longer as gentle and quiet as before, but looked a little vicious.
At this time, the maid gestured a middle finger towards Mu Xiaofeng, and there was a small wound on the middle finger. Jin Shanshan was stabbed, and the maid used the wound to infect Jin Shanshan, and the blood cuckoo accelerated the spread of the poison, which led to Jin Shanshan's death.
"But it doesn't matter, as long as we control you, we will always find an antidote." Mu Xiaofeng was also relieved at this time.
But Jin Meimei shook her head frantically, "The antidote is already there, and Second Sister Luo has the antidote." β
Mu Xiaofeng and Luo Dada were even more puzzled when they heard the news, this second sister Luo actually had an antidote, and the eyes of the two of them turned to Jin Meimei, Jin Meimei also knew that this matter could no longer be hidden, so she told Mu Xiaofeng everything about it.
The overlord looked a little uneasy when he saw that Junguo was getting stronger and stronger, but the Blood Spirit Family sent this maid over and offered to unite with the overlord and divide the entire White Land equally. The overlord was naturally moved, but such a major matter must be discussed with the Luo family, so the Luo family patriarch sent Second Sister Luo to talk to the maid.
The three parties reached an agreement, the overlord used the corpse poison provided by the blood spirit family to disintegrate the kingdom from within, while the Luo family used the antidote provided to make a windfall in this war, and the blood spirit family would reduce the pressure brought by the overlord and the kingdom and concentrate on handling the internal affairs of the beast kingdom.
But what the overlord thinks is that if he wants to completely get rid of the Luo family's control, one is to obtain more resources, and the second is to dismantle the Luo family from the inside. Therefore, the overlord wants to obtain more resources by conquering Junguo, while the Luo family is only entrenched in the hegemon, and still has no influence in Junguo, so that the overlord can cultivate his own power.
But for this, he needs to sacrifice his two children, one is Prince Jin Shining, who is an excuse to go to war with Junguo, and the second is Prince Jin Lili, who will be made a scapegoat if the matter is revealed.
"But the Overlord already knows all this, so why should I investigate these things? Obviously, he knew everything. Mu Xiaofeng grabbed Jin Meimei's shoulders tightly and kept shaking her body.
Jin Meimei was a little afraid to look at Mu Xiaofeng at this time, she lowered her head and said slowly, "Do you remember when I told you that the war has begun?" My second brother is not the first to be infected with this corpse poison, but the blood cuckoo has accelerated the onset of corpse poison, and the first batch of people infected with corpse poison have quietly infiltrated Junguo, and then Junguo will be swept away by corpse poison. β
"I don't understand, what does this have to do with me looking into this?"
Jin Meimei raised her head at this time, her eyes were filled with tears, and she finally shouted to Mu Xiaofeng, "Mu Xiaofeng!" I don't want to put you in danger, otherwise do you think I would agree to my father's unreasonable demand? In order to cooperate with the Luo family, I sacrificed my two elder brothers, just because I seem to be good at manipulating. β
Mu Xiaofeng shook his head after hearing this, he let go of his hand and turned around, he understood Jin Meimei's intentions for him, but he couldn't understand Jin Meimei's behavior at all.
Mu Xiaofeng took out the overlord order at this time, handed it back to Jin Meimei, and said viciously: "Give me an antidote, I will take it back to Junguo to study it for the priests, and I promise not to reveal your secrets." β
"Hahahaha, Mu Xiaofeng, what the patriarch said is not wrong, you are really too naΓ―ve to die." At this time, the maid suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, she turned to Mu Xiaofeng and cast a more cruel gaze, "Do you think we will give the Luo family a real antidote?" That's just a medicine that can only temporarily suppress the toxicity, the corpse poison will be latent in the body for a period of time, presumably now the servants of the Luo family who did the experiment are going to have an attack, right? β
After the maid finished speaking, she suddenly took out a pill from her clothes, put it in her mouth and bit it, and it didn't take long for the maid to spit black blood from her mouth and fall to the ground without moving.
And at this moment, suddenly there was a commotion throughout the city, as if hundreds of people were screaming in pain.
A guard suddenly ran in from outside the door and urgently told Luo Da that the servants of the Luo family suddenly began to go crazy, and the situation was very serious.
When Luo Dada heard the news, he also hurriedly left the golden mansion and prepared to go back to support the Luo family.
Mu Xiaofeng was a little stunned when she saw Luo Dada's departing figure, and Jin Meimei slowly walked to Mu Xiaofeng's side at this time, gently pulled Mu Xiaofeng's hand, and whispered: "I know you're angry now, but I hope you're doing well, that's why I'm doing this." β
"Kim Mi-mi! The ambitions of the Blood Spirit Clan are very great, you actually believed them so easily, and cooperated with them, and now not only the Junguo and the Hegemon, but the entire White Land is in crisis because of you! Mu Xiaofeng broke free of Jin Meimei's hand, and then walked out the door without looking back.
When Jin Meimei saw that Mu Xiaofeng was leaving, she cried loudly, and she didn't know why things had turned out like this.
Hearing Jin Meimei's cry, Mu Xiaofeng suddenly stopped, and Jin Meimei saw that Mu Xiaofeng did not leave at this time, so she looked at Mu Xiaofeng's back with anticipation.
Who knew that Mu Xiaofeng did not turn around, but turned around and left a sentence fiercely, "Jin Meimei, from now on, we will break off." After speaking, Mu Xiaofeng continued to walk forward and left Jin Shishan's mansion, leaving only Jin Meimei alone.
Leaving Jin Shanshan's residence, Mu Xiaofeng knew that he couldn't just leave the overlord, he first had to go to Luo's house to ask for an antidote, even if this antidote did not have the ability to completely cure the corpse poison, but the suppression effect should allow the priest to study it carefully, so that he could study the real antidote in the future.
