Poison concubine enchanting

Chapter 283
Shen Hua frowned, "The one who knows me is the lord! That's right, since Dongfang Yi dared to poison the restaurant so blatantly, why should I spread the word about it?"

Mo Xuan dotingly nodded the tip of her nose, "Madam is really smart! It is a great blessing for me to marry Madam in this life!"

Shen's screen turned red, and he held Mo Xuan's hand, "Me too! It is my greatest luck to meet the prince in this life!"

The two faced each other silently, with affection in their eyes.

On the other side, the crown prince Dongfang Yiqi's face turned blue when he heard that the crisis of the Taotie Building had been resolved so easily. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to bring the Taotie Building into a slump, but he did not expect that Mo Xuan would bring back [-]% of it!
What a shame!
However, what Dongfang Yi didn't know was that Shen Hua had another trick!
In just two days, almost the entire imperial city had already spread the word that the poisoning of Taotie Building was done by people from Weiquan Building, and the third son of the laborer who had escaped had been arrested. He was the one who poisoned the water tank. He also admitted that the person behind the scenes was Wei Quanlou.

Of course, the third son didn't say who it was, and Mo Xuan and the others didn't continue to ask. In fact, they already knew it well, and the people in the city were not stupid, so naturally they quickly guessed what happened. as a result of.

For a time, rumors abounded.

Weiquanlou's business plummeted. There were still some customers who went for the taste of Weiquanlou, but they heard that they poisoned other people's restaurants. Will accidentally contaminate their own food and wine.

Immediately, no one went to Weiquanlou to eat, not to mention, those guests who had eaten before also went to see the doctor, for fear that they might accidentally be poisoned without knowing it.

With the impetus of these rumors, the business of Taotielou has become more and more prosperous. In addition, the quality of its food is already good, and the price is very reasonable, and there are many repeat customers!

When the crown prince Dongfang Yi found out about this, his eyes turned red with anger!

As the month drew closer, Dongfang Yi had another plot in his mind.

On this day, after having some fun with his concubine Taoge, Dongfang Yi suddenly said: "Taoge, did you know any powerful people from the Jianghu in Taohuawu before?"

Tao Ge was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then winked like silk, "I don't know the concubine from the rivers and lakes, but I have come into contact with the concubine who is a small student. I don't know what your highness is asking about this? Could it be that he wants to marry the concubine?" Is it an old account?"

Dongfang Yi said with a smile: "How can Gu be willing to settle an old score with you? It's just that Gu wants to do something, but right now he can't find a manpower?"

Tao Ge was puzzled, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with infinite style: "Is it possible that your highness can't do things well? As long as your highness gives an order, who wouldn't obediently rush to do things for your highness?"

"It's different now. Although Gu is a prince, most of the power in his hands has been disintegrated, and there are not many people who can use it. Especially what Gu has to do this time is a big event, and no mistakes can be tolerated!"

Tao Ge turned his eyebrows, "So, the concubine really has a candidate. As for whether he is satisfied or not, His Highness has to look at it himself!"

"Oh? That's very good! You just find the person, and tell him the specific things alone!"

Tao Ge responded with a smile, and when Dongfang Yi left, there was only a coldness on Tao Ge's charming face. She quickly recorded something on a small piece of paper, and then a whistle sounded, and she flew down from midair. A white pigeon, Taoge put the note into the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg.

The white dove hovered for a moment, and soon disappeared.

Half an hour later, Mo Xuan stood in the study, and a snow-white pigeon was parked on the window sill. He took out the note, glanced at it, and quickly destroyed it.

These days, Dongfang Shuo can be said to be in high spirits. Seeing that there are only three days left in the January period, he has completely lost the worries he had at the beginning. In his opinion, he is sure to win this time.

Not to mention how the restaurant's business has been this month, but looking at the smiling face of the shopkeeper, Boss Zhu, when he settles accounts every day, he knows that he must have earned a lot of silver taels during these days.

When Dongfang Shuo and Concubine Hui mentioned this matter, Concubine Hui was also happy about it, but at the same time, she was still a little worried. These days the palace is surprisingly peaceful, giving people a feeling of tranquility before the storm.

No wonder Concubine Hui thinks too much, ever since Dongfang Shuo had the desire to seize the throne, they have been subjected to calculations from all sides, but recently these people have settled down exceptionally, as if they have become the one who was once unnoticed again. people.

"Shuo'er, although the job of water control should be sure, but you still have to be more careful, especially in the end, you have to be more vigilant!"

Dongfang Shuo nodded again and again, but felt a little disapproving in his heart. There were still three days left, and even if Dongfang Yi wanted to do something, it was too late.

However, Dongfang Shuo was young after all, he completely underestimated Dongfang Yi's ruthlessness.

That night, the weather was gloomy and extremely hot, and not even a single star could be seen in the dark night, which was really depressing.

There was not even a pedestrian on the empty street, and it was already midnight.

Suddenly, several black figures jumped out from a small alley and headed straight for the Taotie Tower.

In just a moment, the raging fire surrounded the entire Taotie Building!The soaring flames were extraordinarily bright in this silent summer night.

"It's not good! The Taotie Tower is on fire! Everyone, hurry up and put out the fire!"

When someone finally came over, everyone realized that the fire had spread along the direction of the wind.

"Oops, the fire has reached the prime minister's house!"

The next door to the Taotie Tower is the residence of the current prime minister. As soon as the fire started, people in the prime minister's residence quickly got up to put out the fire, but it seemed that no matter how they poured water, the fire would not weaken.

The prime minister put on his clothes and came out, and someone told him, "My lord, the fire is a bit strange, it seems that someone set it on purpose!"

The prime minister gritted his teeth, "It's really courageous, these people under the emperor's feet dare to set fire to murder! Come on! Hurry up and arrest those arsonists!"

As soon as the prime minister gave an order, guards rushed out.

Speaking of which, these arsonists are just gangsters who have never seen anything in the world, but when they saw the guards in the prime minister's mansion rushing over, their legs were so frightened that their legs went limp, and they were arrested after fleeing for two or three streets Living.

On the other side, someone quickly went to the palace to inform Mo Xuan, and Mo Xuan rewarded the visitor with some broken silver, but then slowly fell asleep with his arms around Princess Shen Hua again, without the slightest sign of being anxious.

When Dongfang Shuo got the news the next day and rushed to the Taotie Tower, the entire Taotie Tower had been burned down, and only a pile of burnt charcoal was left in the original luxurious restaurant. burnt out.

Dongfang Shuo's eyes were red, knowing that the prime minister's mansion had caught the murderer, he immediately ignored other things and went to pay a visit. The prime minister also looked angry at this time, these people are so daring, they even attacked innocent people because of a little personal grievance Fortunately, there was no one guarding the Taotie Tower yesterday, otherwise, wouldn't it be burned to death inside.

Seeing Dongfang Shuo coming, the prime minister was also very polite.

"I have seen His Highness the Sixteenth!"

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be too polite. Today I am here for those arsonists. Have you ever interrogated me?"

"The old minister has not started yet, but the old minister thinks that this matter is not trivial and should be reported to His Majesty!"

Dongfang Shuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Okay! Just follow what the prime minister said, and leave it to the emperor to decide!"

On the morning of the same day, the Prime Minister reported to Dongfang Lie that the Taotie Building was deliberately set on fire.

Dongfang Lie was very annoyed when he heard that such a sensational thing would happen under the feet of the emperor, especially the Taotie Building that was set on fire. The old emperor angrily issued an order, "I will never tolerate such a bad thing! Immediately lock those people up." Go to prison!"

The prince was really relieved when he heard the words, and a stern light flashed in his peach eyes. Anyway, it's good that the father didn't interrogate him immediately, at least he still had a chance to cover up a thing or two.

To be honest, the prince did not expect that the incident would come before the emperor. The competition between him and Dongfang Shuo was coming to an end, and it was the critical moment of the competition. If the emperor knew that the arson was done by himself, then all his plans would definitely come to fruition. empty!

At this point, he can only win!Can't lose!
Dongfang Yi made up his mind, when he thought of Dongfang Shuo's one-month painstaking efforts being wasted, he felt extremely happy, and dared to fight Dongfang Yi, so he had to be prepared to die!

After the court, Dongfang Shuo left dejectedly. He didn't even hear Mo Xuan shouting to him. His mind was full of pictures of those ruined walls, the pieces of wood that had been turned into ashes. The dark blue bricks, the place called the Taotie Building, Dongfang Yi burned not his restaurant, but his painstaking efforts, his future and hope!He is going to kill him!

Boundless hatred emerged from Dongfang Shuo's heart, which shocked Mo Xuan, who was standing by the side.

"Your Highness the Sixteenth!"

Mo Xuan raised his voice and woke up Dongfang Shuo from his wild thoughts.

Dongfang Shuo raised his eyes and met Shang Moxuan's sharp eyes, as if he had read his mind instantly, and made him subconsciously take two steps back, eyes full of fear!
Dongfang Shuo knew that he had lost his composure, so he hurriedly corrected his expression, "Sir, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."

Mo Xuan's eyebrows were light, "It's okay, just follow me!"

Dongfang Shuo nodded, and followed behind Mo Xuan obediently, but the emotions in his heart were still not suppressed, and he had already heard about something. When the incident happened yesterday, someone went to the side-by-side palace to report it, but from the beginning to the end At the end, Mo Xuan had never been to the scene, not even to have a look.

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help thinking, could it be that the national teacher turned against him because he saw that the prince seemed to be rising in the east?Or is it just like what he guessed before, Mo Xuan didn't really want to help him at all?
Mo Xuan didn't know all the speculations in Dongfang Shuo's mind, but seeing Dongfang Shuo's expression, Mo Xuan knew that this younger brother's trust in him was still so meager, maybe just like what Shen Hua said, he was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

Mo Xuan secretly sighed in his heart, if he could, he didn't want to find such a person to ascend the throne, but now that the form is stronger than others, he had to find someone to compete with the crown prince.

All the way in silence, the two arrived at the palace.
