On the afternoon of this day, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in Chongming Hall for the emperor's male favorite Xiaomu to openly poison the emperor and King Jianyang. The officials were respectfully and orderly arranged on both sides of the Chongming Palace, and although they lowered their heads, they glanced at the men who were still extremely beautiful wearing heavy iron chains.

The hairpin that tied the man's hair was taken away, and the long black hair was spread out, with a pale face and a beauty that was unforgettable at a glance, which really made people feel pity.

Killing the monarch is a serious crime that will undoubtedly die, even if they have compassion for Mu Xize, no one will stand up to intercede for the man in front of them who has nothing to do with him, and because of Sun Hao, these officials had a very bad impression of Mu Xize before, even if Mu Xize was sentenced to death today, in the eyes of these officials, it was just to blame.

At this time, the person who came in in a panic was Xu Guang, the chief eunuch who had just been canonized by the emperor. Xu Guang's legs trembled, and he almost climbed up to the Chongming Palace, and when he saw Mu Xize who was bound by iron chains, Xu Guang knelt directly on the ground as a thief.

"Participation...... See the Emperor. ”

With a trembling voice, Xu Guang finally said the words of please An, but inadvertently facing Mu Xize's cold gaze, Xu Guang's heart that had just been relieved tightened again, and the sweat couldn't help but slip down from his forehead.

"Father-in-law Xu, I ask you, today's lunch between me and King Jianyang was all prepared by Xiao Mu?"

Gonggong Xu was shocked again, and while kowtowing, he replied, "Yes...... It's all prepared by the little boy alone, slave ...... The slave didn't know that the little boy had poisoned the food, and he ...... Please spare your life!"

After all, people still seek more advantages and avoid disadvantages, and there are few people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and Gonggong Xu was originally a person who came to the end of his career, all because Mu Xize saw that he had worked hard for many years, and his heart was not bad, and he had good thoughts for a while to make him the most noble slave of Darui Palace.

However, in the face of life and morality, the slave finally bowed his head and did evil things to his benefactor. Mu Xize showed a light smile, then closed his eyes, and let out a long breath, expressing his disappointment with Gonggong Xu.

After listening to Gonggong Xu's answer, Ye Ningxiang sighed, got up, walked straight to Mu Xize despite the dissuasion of the surrounding ministers, and said sharply: "Xiaomu, what else do you have to say now?"

Mu Xize didn't answer, but he closed his mouth tightly and coughed violently a few times, and then, his Adam's apple moved up and down very obviously, and there was a bright red in the center of his pale lips that smeared around.

Ye Ningxiang looked at the man she had once put to death with a shocked face, her expression was stunned, and her face was hideous. She was only about a person away from him, she couldn't be mistaken, and she couldn't be mistaken, Xiaomu ...... He had just swallowed the blood gushing out of his throat back into his stomach, and the little blood soaked in his lips had accidentally spilled out of his mouth out of control.

In fact, as long as Mu Xize was willing to kneel down and give her a soft face, just like he used to hold her in his arms and say something to her sweetly, Ye Ningxiang would change her mind, reverse black and white in the court, and say that this poisoning accident was a misunderstanding and an oolong.

Ye Ningxiang hoped in her heart that Mu Xize would do what she wanted, so that she would have room to regret it, and everything could return to the original point. But he didn't do what she had thought.

He resolutely knelt in front of her, raised his face that seemed to be blue, and looked at her with peach blossom eyes hiding strong exhaustion, but lacking the warmth and sweetness of the past.

"I gave the poison, and I want to kill you. ”

When he said this, Mu Xize was smiling, the kind of miserable laughter that can only be made when the grief is extreme, and every sound can tear out people's hearts. He would rather smile and bear all the trumped-up charges than ask Ye Ningxiang for a favor, be soft to her, and be coquettish to her.

Ye Ningxiang didn't like such frustration, and she didn't like Mu Xize's disheartened appearance, she grabbed Mu Xize's shoulders and said uncontrollably what shouldn't have come out of her mouth.

"As long as you tell me what your purpose is for approaching me, as long as you give in to me, as long as you are loyal to me only from now on, I will let you go, and you will still be my most favored man. ”

Unlike Ye Ningxiang's irritability that almost lost his mind, Mu Xize was still too calm, he withdrew his smile, his voice was weak but could make people hear every word he said.

"In this way, King Jianyang and Miss Gu should have no worries about their lives. ”

Hearing this, Ye Ningxiang's eyes dodged, and she let go of the hand that grabbed Mu Xize's shoulder, because of her weak heart, she took a few steps back again and again, and pretended to be calm: "The doctors of the Tai Hospital have worked together to prepare the antidote to your poison, Xiao Chengyong and Gu Xiaomei's poison has been solved, and your conspiracy has not succeeded." ”

"So...... Very good. ”

Mu Xize's breath instantly became extremely weak, and his knees kneeling on the ground were even weak to the point where they couldn't support his entire body.

Seeing this Mu Xize's appearance, Ye Ningxiang changed from the original anxiety to strong worry, she knew that Mu Xize had eaten poison and vomited blood because of poisonous hair, and now she was dying like this because of poisonous hair, but she couldn't give him the antidote in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. If he didn't take the antidote, would he die of poison?

Just when Ye Ningxiang was very worried, Sun Hao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Xiao Mu openly murdered the emperor and the royal family, the crime is unforgivable, and I hope that the emperor sentenced Xiao Mu to death earlier to set an example." ”

The ministers watched Sun Hao make a sound and no longer twisted, and knelt down and prayed together: "Please ask the emperor to give Xiao Mu to death as an example!"

At this time, Mu Xize had severe pain in his abdomen because of the poison, and his whole body was out of strength, and he was curled up and lying on the ground, breathing rapidly, and his body was trembling slightly because of weakness and severe pain.

Ye Ningxiang couldn't look at Xiao Mu's miserable situation anymore, and was even more afraid that this poison would really drag Xiao Mu to death, so she didn't pay attention to the suggestions of the ministers, and said directly: "Put Xiao Mu in the prison, and the specific culpability will be decided in the future." ”

There has always been no day and night in the prison, and Ye Ningxiang entered the place where Mu Xize was held with trepidation through the faint candlelight. In a not-so-large cell, on the damp and somewhat moldy dead grass, lay the people she wanted to see.

He was half-hunched, his snow-white clothes were already dirty, Ye Ningxiang couldn't see his face, and he didn't even know if the person lying there was still alive.

"Open the door. ”

The cold and stern words reached the ears of the jailer, so that the jailer did not dare to resist at all, and obediently opened the prison door to open the way for Ye Ningxiang.

Ye Ningxiang could hardly hide her anxious heart, and rushed to Mu Xize in three or two steps, seeing that his eyes were closed and he hurriedly put his hand under the tip of his nose, fortunately, there was still breathing, Ye Ningxiang sat on the dry grass and breathed a big sigh of relief.

After a moment of calm, she took out a delicate small wooden box from her cuffs, took out a pill contained in the small wooden box, and carefully placed the pill on Mu Xize's lips. But before she could force the medicine into Mu Xize's mouth, Mu Xize's tightly closed mouth suddenly opened, and she swallowed the pill into her stomach quickly and accurately.

Ye Ningxiang was shocked, hurriedly retracted the hand that handed the medicine, retreated to the corner, and said tentatively: "You...... You're pretending to be asleep?"

Mu Xize finally opened his eyes slowly, but those eyes were still tired, and with that pale face, he looked like someone who was still on the verge of death.

The corners of his mouth hooked a heart-wrenching smile, and looking at Ye Ningxiang's eyes, there was a little affection again, but his voice was so weak that it was almost difficult for people to hear his words.

"I ...... I thought you were ...... You really want to kill me. I didn't expect you to risk being killed to come here to deliver an antidote to me. ”

After confirming that Mu Xize's body was really weak, Ye Ningxiang's nervous heart relaxed slightly, moved slightly in the direction close to Mu Xize, sat beside him and whispered: "I know that you are doing something without me, you can even sneak out of the palace gate while we are in the same bed, and you can also buy my most trusted shadow, how can you keep you by your side with peace of mind." ”

Mu Xize closed his eyes, sighed lightly again, and said, "In the end, I still don't think about it. ”

"Can't you tell me your secret, or you can simply be loyal to me with peace of mind, and do things for Gu Liancheng with peace of mind!"

Mu Xize didn't answer, but grabbed Ye Ningxiang's hand very recklessly, as soon as the cold hand that seemed to be pulled out of the deep ice touched the back of Ye Ningxiang's hand, it made her break out in a layer of cold sweat and goosebumps.

Ye Ningxiang did not break free of Mu Xize's hand for the first time, but looked at him quietly, waiting for what he was going to say next.

Mu Xize opened his eyes again, the corners of his warm eyes seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist, there was no smile in his eyes, but there was unprecedented warmth, such a familiar look almost summoned Ye Ningxiang's frozen memories in the depths of his heart.

"Can you stay and stay with me? ”

I don't know why, Ye Ningxiang's heart is like a river and a sea rushing up and down, she has experienced all kinds of winds and waves over the years, but she has never felt like this, and her heart is so flustered that she is overwhelmed and doesn't know how to deal with it.

"You...... You are presumptuous. ”

hurriedly threw down this sentence, Ye Ningxiang hurriedly got up and almost fled from the prison.

Gonggong Xu crept to the prison late at night, and was bumping into the jailer who was relying on his height and fatness, rough skin and thick meat, and joined forces to bully Mu Xize.

"Xiao Langjun, I have never been in prison with such a handsome man as you. The jailer who spoke was also very presumptuous, stretched out his rough hand and touched Mu Xize's white face. "Our brothers have played a lot with women, but men, this is the first time, brothers, come on, one together!"

At this time, Mu Xize was blocked in the corner by these jailers, curled up with his legs, and looked angry and pitiful. This time, Gonggong Xu, who was extremely guilty of doing something wrong, finally mustered up the courage and scolded the jailer: "What are you doing, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

As Xu Gonggong spoke, he pushed away the jailers who were surrounding Mu Xize, and then the whole person stood in front of Mu Xize, with his arms wide open, for fear that the jailers would hurt Mu Xize again.

Behind him, instead of being afraid, Mu Xize smiled at him and patted his arm, causing his wide open arm to be retracted.

"Gonggong Xu has some courage to look at death today, but how good is this courage to use in the court, what's the use of being a hero here?"

This said the pain of Gonggong Xu, he stopped speaking, and the whole person seemed to be languishing, hanging his head, almost crying.

"Okay, I've been playing with you for most of the night, and I've been bullied by you for most of the night, it's time to have enough fun, you all go to rest, I still have something to talk about with Grandpa Xu. ”

Mu Xize said this to those fierce and vicious jailers, and there was no respect in his words at all, but he was like their master, and it seemed that he was bullied by them before, and he thought it was fun and deliberately let them do it.

"You rebel, you are so bold!"

The jailer at the head brandished a leather whip and attacked Mu Xize, but the leather whip hit not Mu Xize's body but withered grass. Without anyone seeing it clearly, Mu Xize quietly turned behind the man, and his deep words revealed the coldness and even evil that had never been revealed.

"I've always been very bold. ”

Seeing that Mu Xize seemed to be tainted with evil spirits, the powerful jailers threw off their armor one after another, and escaped from the prison in the blink of an eye.

"Say, what is the matter with Grandpa Xu coming to see me in the middle of the night?"

As he spoke, Mu Xize had already sat back on the haystack where he was sitting, and his eyes had become warm and harmless, pure and good. Father-in-law Xu, who was frightened by Mu Xize's previous actions, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, and it took a lot of effort to say a complete sentence.

"Our family stole a glimpse of the emperor's holy decree prepared at night, which said...... It said that you were spared the death penalty, but it will demote you to the mansion of the Imperial Doctor and be Sun Hao's ...... Go to Sun Hao's ......"

"What are you doing? ”

"Private slaves. ”
