Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 110 Oolong Poison Tea
In the hall, the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival is gone, and there is a sense of tension that everyone is in danger.

Some guests hadn't had tea yet, but when they saw that Ziqi had been poisoned, they hurriedly pushed their teacups aside.And those guests who drank the tea all showed expressions of fear.

Prime Minister Rong's face turned black with anger, seeing that Mr. Rong and the others had also left, there was really no other way, so he had to start dealing with the matter in front of him.

He roared, "Who made the tea, and who served it?"

Rong Hui's complexion changed, and he said: "Father, I brewed the tea myself, put them on plates one by one, and let the maid give them to the guests one by one according to the order of seating."

As Rong Hui said, he lowered his head casually, so that no one could see the subtle expression on his face.right!That poison was put by him!It was he who put heartbroken grass into one of the cups of Kunlun snow chrysanthemum!But he didn't poison Ziqi, who he couldn't get along with, but to poison Yin Ruyi to death!

However, why was it Ziqi who was poisoned?

Rong Hui was puzzled, his teeth were constantly chattering in his mouth, and he really couldn't figure out why the tea he had arranged in order was not delivered to Yin Ruyi.

Could it be...? !

He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly slanted to the maid who was in charge of delivering tea one by one.

The servant girl also came out tremblingly at this moment, and said timidly: "Reporting to the master, it was the servant girl who distributed the tea..."

As soon as the words fell, an arrogant and arrogant voice sounded.

"Well, you little sweetie, low maid! This tea was prepared by Rong Hui, who else has touched it besides you and Rong Hui?! Rong Hui will not use poisoned tea to harm people, so it is clear that you are the murderer!"

"Ah?" The maidservant Xiaoxiang's face turned pale all of a sudden, and there was a strange color in the depths of her eyes, a mixture of panic, fear and anger.

She knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said: "Princess Ruyi, it wasn't made by a slave, it really wasn't a slave!"

"Hmph, you still say it's not you?!" Yin Ruyi stood up suddenly, rushed in front of Xiao Xiang, and slapped Xiao Xiang hard on the face.

"Bad maid! The Right Prime Minister's Mansion is good enough to you, yet you even poisoned people and ruined the reputation of my Right Prime Minister's Mansion! Let's see if this princess won't strip you for cramps!"

She suddenly shouted: "Come here!"

"Here!" Suddenly several big men came, all of them were the nurses of the Rong Mansion.

"Drag this lowly servant girl out to this princess, and cut it off!"

"Yes!" Naturally, the nurses knew who in the Rong Mansion should listen to most, so they swarmed up, picked up Xiaoxiang and walked out.

From far away, Xiaoxiang screamed sadly, full of anger: "Princess Ruyi, you kill the donkey, you clearly ordered me—ah!" She was slapped by the nurse, knocking out three teeth , mouth full of blood, people also fainted.

Seeing this scene, Rong Hui also understood immediately, and was so angry that he wanted to rush up and strangle Yin Ruyi to death.

It turned out to be her!She instructed Xiaoxiang to change his tea, and it doesn't matter who it was for, as long as she didn't drink the tea herself!
Realizing this, Rong Hui's eyes were about to bleed. If his eyes were knives, he would have stabbed Yin Ruyi thousands of times at this moment.

He failed again!And he didn't kill this woman he hated to the bone!
but!Rong Hui made a more resolute vow in his heart: next time, he will do everything to make Yin Ruyi die the most painful death!

At this moment, most of the guests present couldn't sit still anymore. They were panicked because of the poison in the tea, and seeing Yin Ruyi's "arbitrary" disregard for human life, who can continue to stay in the tea room comfortably? Drinking tea and admiring the moon here?
However, because of Rong You's face, he dared not say goodbye, and each of them felt very distressed.

During the banquet, Yin Liehuo picked up the teacup with slender hands, and drank the Kunlun snow chrysanthemum slowly, his curly eyelashes covered the cold eyes.

She observed Yin Ruyi, and then observed Rong Hui, with a cold look on her lips... No wonder Yin Ruyi was so quiet before, it turned out that she knew that Rong Hui was going to poison her to death, so she quietly looked for an opportunity, Give that poisonous tea to someone else...

It seems that this Rong's mansion is also very lively. When there is a poisonous show, the more you sing, the more you will play...

Yin Liehuo put down the teacup leisurely, and his broken and hoarse voice slowly flowed out: "The Lord of this county is feeling unwell, and I'm afraid he has to go back to his residence. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing the interest of Mr. Right."

Rong Youlian hurriedly said: "Junjun's health is important, please go! The old minister will not send it away!" He stood up and saluted thoughtfully, knowing in his heart that Yin Liehuo is now the protector of the country, and his daughter will inherit his father's career .He was determined to make a good confession for such a prominent woman.

Yin Liehuo smiled, blessed his body in the wheelchair, turned around, and left in the wheelchair.Only the cold smile lines on the corners of her lips became even more despicable.

Her figure slowly disappeared into the night where streamers and phantoms staggered...

at the same time.

Baili Jiuge and Mo Li were on their way to the Imperial Hospital.

Since Duan Yao and Rong Weijun had already gone to take care of Ziqi first, and Baili Jiuge was afraid that Mo Li would be too fast to walk, so he supported him, tried to control his pace, and walked through the streets and alleys.

Today, because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the main road is brightly lit and bustling, but the alleys are empty because the people are gathering at home for reunion.Only the lights of every household and the sound of joyful gatherings from the courtyard wall echoed on the long street.

Baili Jiuge walked, couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and asked, "Mo Li, do you know what happened just now? Who did Ziqi offend to make such a murderous move?"

Mo Li's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were as calm as the moonlight. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and a sharp cold light flashed away, rolling into ripples.

He lightly stroked Baili Jiuge's arms, causing her to let go of him and hold her little hands instead, and the two walked together with their hands clasped.As for Mo Li, he never opened his mouth to answer.

His other hand moved slightly backwards, holding a black chess piece between his fingers.

With a move of the long finger, it pops out suddenly!

The sound of "ding" shattered the hazy moonlight, making it very clear in this quiet street.

Baili Jiuge was startled, and looked back, but because of the thick night, he didn't see anything behind him. He just vaguely felt that the sound just now was a bit like the collision of two hidden weapons, but... where is the hidden weapon?

"Jiuge, let's go." Baili Jiuge didn't turn his head until he heard Mo Li's soft voice, and blinked at him in surprise.

"Mo Li, what was that just now, did you hear that?"

"En." He didn't deny it, but he didn't explain anything, he just smiled softly, tightened Baili Jiuge's little hand, and quickened his pace.

After all, I still added a sentence: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, just forget about it."

"Oh...Okay." Since Mo Li said it's okay, then it's okay, and she doesn't need to ask for trouble anymore.

The moon is bright and the evening breeze is gentle.The two figures walked through the long street like this, reached the end, turned a corner, and the figures gradually disappeared.

And behind them, footsteps sounded on the long street.

Yin Haochen came out, his eagle-like eyes were filled with shock.The shock was as strong as a blizzard, lingering in his eyes for a long time, making his tall body tremble continuously, his hair was blown to block his eyes, he was still standing stiff, oblivious to it.

Yin Haochen never expected that tonight, after learning that Yin Liehuo practiced flying needles, he was shocked to find that Mo Li was actually hiding it so deeply!

I just shot a hidden weapon, and I didn't aim at Mo Li, but I couldn't bear the closeness between him and Baili Jiuge, so I wanted to intimidate Mo Li with the hidden weapon to see how he would react.

Unexpectedly, without even looking back, he found out his existence, and threw a backhand chess piece with ease, knocking the hidden weapon out of sight.

Yin Haochen also saw that Mo Li's chess piece was not knocked and flew in the opposite direction, but instead returned to Mo Li's fingertips as if manipulated by a silk thread, and slid back into his cloud sleeve obediently.

Yin Haochen gasped silently, and Yin Haochen had to bear it. This kind of hidden weapon technique and control is not comparable to him at all. Even when the hidden weapon chess pieces collide, the internal force carried by the chess pieces is even more terrifying. .

Yin Haochen was shocked.I'm afraid, Mo Li's martial arts cultivation is rare in this world!In this way, Zhou Guohui sent this person to Shang Guo as a hostage, probably for some ulterior purpose.

Thinking of this, Yin Haochen clenched his fists hard, feeling the graceful figure of Baili Jiuge still echoing in his mind, his unwillingness and pain kept heating up, scalding his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.

Turning around and leaving the long street, Yin Haochen boarded the carriage embroidered with black eagles, and ordered to go back to Prince Chen's mansion.

Before the car started, he recruited a bodyguard, and ordered in a low and serious voice: "Immediately arrange reliable people to sneak into the state of Zhou and investigate the relationship between the royal family of Zhou and the prince of Zhou."

The guard got the order, clasped his fists in answer, and immediately went to make arrangements.Only then did Yin Haochen breathe a sigh of relief, leaning on the back of the seat, his whole face was as cold as ice fished out of a thousand-year cold pool.

He lowered his gaze, narrowed his eyes, and then slowly closed them.At this moment, Baili Jiuge's sassy smile and bright eyes once again appeared in my mind, showing her wantonness, chicness, and sincerity...

Yin Haochen secretly told himself in his heart: He will not let the people who missed it for a while become the people who will be missed forever, even if their trajectories have long been far away, so what?She was originally his concubine, he will definitely bring her back and make her truly become the concubine Chen Wang!

At this moment, Baili Jiuge, who is far away, doesn't know what happened.But maybe it was because the night was late and the wind suddenly became cold. A sudden gust of wind penetrated into her sleeves, making her shiver all over as if being pinched by the coldness. Some kind of weird feeling.

Strange...why did she suddenly feel an ominous smell?Is it because she got too much sweetness from Mo Li tonight, and became a little worried about gains and losses, and had an illusion?

Mo Li beside her saw Baili Jiuge's expression and smiled to herself, looking at her like this, her eyes were full of pity and tenderness.

But in fact, he couldn't relax so much in his heart.It was because he knew that the chess piece he shot at Yin Haochen just now had completely exposed him, and according to what he knew about Yin Haochen, that person would definitely not give up.

However, if he pretended not to notice anything just now, in case that hidden weapon hurt Jiu Ge...

You couldn't help sighing softly: his heart was filled to the brim by her after all, and he couldn't bear the slightest danger from her, even if it was only a very small risk factor.

So, now that the matter has come to this point, he has to think carefully about how to mediate with Yin Haochen and buy time.

The two of them were thinking about each other like this, and they came to the Tai Hospital with their hands clasped.

In the imperial hospital, several imperial physicians on duty gathered around Ziqi at this moment, and began to diagnose Ziqi's pulse.

Because the medicine of Broken Heart Grass is too poisonous and not very common, there is no antidote for Broken Heart Grass in the Imperial Hospital, so the imperial physicians had to cook other antidotes, and tried to give some to Ziqi.Although it also played a role in alleviating the toxicity, it was not the right medicine after all, Ziqi still had more than half of the poison in his body.

"Woo... It hurts! It hurts!"

Ziqi hugged his belly and kept rolling on the couch, his small body curled up into a ball, his limbs and bones were all convulsed, twitching violently.

A small face, half a drop of blood is gone, the whole person is as white as onyx, only the lips have changed from black purple to black, and that pale and pale face is full of bean-sized beads of sweat. fall.

When Mo Li and Baili Jiuge arrived, what they saw was Ziqi who was in great pain.Beside Ziqi, the imperial doctors sighed and shook their heads, all looking helpless.

And Duan Yao simply helped Ziqi to sit up, and sat behind Ziqi himself, with both palms against Ziqi's back, to help her get rid of her internal strength.

"Pfft——" As soon as Duan Yao's internal energy flowed into Ziqi's body, Ziqi spurted out a mouthful of black blood.

Seeing Baili Jiuge, there was hope on his face.Does this mean that Ziqi vomited out all the poison?

But the development of the next thing is not as good as Baili Jiuge's wishes.

I saw that Duan Yao continued to convey internal energy to Ziqi, but Ziqi could no longer vomit poisonous blood. On the contrary, he convulsed more severely, sweating profusely, soaking his clothes from inside to outside, and his whole body was numb. She looked thinner and paler as if dehydrated.

Duan Yao realized that this method would not work, and quickly stopped her internal energy.At this moment, Ziqi screamed and fell back on the couch, trembling and whimpering in pain, the pain in her stomach almost absorbed all her consciousness, she buzzed her lips, unable to speak.

"No, I still can't..." Duan Yao frowned worriedly, her body trembling slightly.

Rong Weijun also looked serious, he asked several imperial physicians next to him: "Are the adults really unable to make the antidote for Heartbroken Grass?"

The imperial physicians sighed helplessly, and the old imperial physician at the head thought for a long time before hesitatingly said: "It's not that I can't prepare an antidote, it's just that blindly antidote is too rare, I have to go to the queen The empress asks for it herself..."

Baili Jiuge hurriedly said: "What's the name of that antidote? Tell me quickly, I'll go to the empress to ask for it!"

"Uh..." The old doctor didn't expect Baili Jiuge to rush over in such a hurry, he was stunned for a while, and then replied: "Concubine Shizi, the antidote is called 'Jiaozhu'. People shed tears. There are quite a few in my Dashang Treasure Pavilion, and the Treasure Pavilion is managed by the Empress herself."

"Okay, I got it!" Baili Jiuge nodded, bowed his hands to the old doctor as a thank you, and said to the others: "I'm going to ask Empress Yuan for medicine, and you are here to take care of Ziqi!"

Then he rushed to the bed, leaned over and held Ziqi's little hand, using some strength so that Ziqi could feel her firmness.

"Ziqi, hold on, you must wait for me to come back, I will be back soon!"

Baili Jiuge smiled flamboyantly, this bright smile and voice, like a lamp illuminating the night, made Ziqi feel exaggerated, and his body regained some strength.

"Sister Heifeng..." She muttered with difficulty: "I, I will definitely get through it! Huagu Qisu, there must be one less..."

"Of course, our Qisu is like the Big Dipper, so we can't do without it!" Seeing that Ziqi had enough willpower, Baili Jiuge was also relieved.

At this moment, those imperial physicians had already been dismissed by Rong Weijun, so naturally they didn't hear the conversation between the two of them. Under Rong Weijun's request, they continued to brew medicine that could alleviate the toxicity.

And Baili Jiuge nodded towards Mo Liding, then quickly rushed out of the Imperial Hospital, performed lightness kung fu, rushed into the palace garden, and headed towards the Chonghua Palace...

It's a coincidence that there was a big banquet in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival.But today, Empress Yuan was feeling unwell, so she withdrew from the palace banquet ahead of schedule.Therefore, not long after she returned to Chonghua Palace, she saw Baili Jiuge jumping in from the window.

At that time, Empress Yuan was about to recruit a maidservant, help her change clothes and go to bed, but when she saw the familiar figure outside the window, she stopped what she was about to say, walked to the door, and closed the door tightly.

At the same time, Baili Jiuge pushed open the window, fell in lightly, swept his sleeves, and the wind from his sleeves passed through the window, closing the window with just the right force.

She didn't have time to chat with Empress Yuan, so she rushed over in three steps at the same time, and said straight to the point: "I beg your empress to give me a jiaozhu from the Treasure Pavilion! One of my sisters has been poisoned by the heartbroken grass. Blindly use jiaozhu as the antidote, and implore the empress to save my sister's life!"

Empress Yuan has long been used to Baili Jiuge's straightforwardness, and even appreciates it.Although the Jiaozhu is said to be the tears of the mermaids in the South China Sea, in the eyes of Empress Yuan, it is just a myth fabricated by the world.She felt that those were just pearls from the South China Sea, not to mention that there were quite a few of them in the Treasure Pavilion. Since she was asking for it all the time, Empress Yuan would give it away generously.

So, he cited Baili Jiuge, raised a lantern, and didn't let any maidservants follow, and the two went to the Treasure Pavilion together.

On the way to Zangbao Pavilion, Baili Jiuge thanked Empress Yuan, and couldn't help remembering that Empress Yuan once told herself that she suspected that one of the maidservants next to her was Baili Qingping.It's been a long time since the last arsenic and witchcraft incident. I don't know if the empress has caught the mole.
