Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 162 Frustrating the Arson Conspiracy
In front of the mountain gate of Mingzhe Temple, the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials all gathered here, looking at the temple engulfed by the thick smoke in horror, touching their chests with lingering fear, many people's faces were still stained with black ash, and they looked a little embarrassed .Lots of people were passing buckets and splashing water on the fire.

When Baili Jiuge, Mo Li, and Rong Weijun arrived, they saw such a scene.

Thick smoke billowed, and the heat wave came with the wind. Baili Jiuge didn't know how big the fire was, but at this moment, he thought of the situation when Gu Yan was trapped in the fire.Such a similarity, even a nervous and uncomfortable premonition appeared in his heart, Baili Jiuge rushed to the crowd, found Luo Xia, and shouted: "Where is the fire, where is the fire?!"

Luo Xia reacted for a moment, then she also showed a terrified expression, and shouted: "Has Acacia come out yet?!"

The people around immediately looked left and right subconsciously, trying to find Yin Liehuo, but soon, everyone confirmed one thing, that is——Yin Liehuo and Luo Zhanghua were both trapped in the fire!
This made Baili Jiuge terrified, gasped, and threw himself into the temple without even thinking about it.But his body was hugged fiercely by Mo Li, and he used strength several times stronger than hers to quickly stick Baili Jiuge to his chest, and said firmly: "Dangerous, you stay here, Ziqian and I will go in .”

"What?" Baili Jiuge raised his eyes in horror, looked into Mo Li's soft but firm eyes, and said with all his strength: "No, you can't go in, I'm worried about you!"

"It's okay Jiuge, you wait patiently." Without time to talk to her too much, Mo Li kissed Baili Jiuge's forehead, and told her with this cold but firm temperature that it was all right.

Then, he let go of Baili Jiuge, took a look at Rong Weijun, and the two of them suddenly fell into the billowing smoke like two white lights.

"Moli! Xiaorong!" Baili Jiuge yelled wildly, and when he was about to rush in after the two of them, he suddenly came back to his senses, his whole body seemed to be poured with ice water, and he immediately calmed down a little.

Baili Jiuge was gasping for breath, his little hands tightly clenched under his sleeves, and he stretched his neck to see what happened in the thick smoke. After a long time, he realized that he had to put out the fire quickly, so he tried his best to splash water.

But because of the sudden incident, Baili Jiuge temporarily forgot that he had shown too much concern for Yin Liehuo just now, and that scene was captured by the eyes of the eldest daughter of the emperor and the second daughter of the emperor. color.

I don't know how long later, it was so long that Baili Jiuge's palms were cold, and his hands were covered with cold sweat, and even so long that the fire at Mingzhe Temple was finally brought under control and gradually reduced.

The choking smoke is no longer so thick, slowly revealing the scene in the mountain gate.Baili Jiuge poured the basin of water in his hand into it. At this moment, he seemed to see something moving behind the thick smoke.

She squinted her eyes, and her chest was filled with ecstasy in an instant. The basin in her hand fell to the ground like this, and Baili Jiuge rushed towards the mountain gate.

"Moli! Xiaorong!" She saw them, they are safe!They are fine!
The two got out of the fire scene safely, Mo Li was supporting Yin Liehuo with one hand, and a young sister-in-law with the other.On Rong Weijun's back was Luo Zhanghua who was almost fainted.At this moment, the blazing flames and thick smoke spread their teeth and claws behind them, and the collapsed roof tiles made loud noises, but they walked steadily from the crumbling scene.

Their clothes were all stained with dust, and their faces were also stained black with thick smoke, but at this moment, they didn't feel any distress at all, and even this vile scene made them look like Nirvana. His appearance is elegant, and he is handsome and handsome.

"Mo Li, Xiao Rong, Li Huo..." Baili Jiuge rushed to the front of several people, saw that their bodies were already stained by black smoke, and said with lingering fear: "Great, fortunately everyone is fine! Li Huo, you Well, are you injured, why are you and Luo Zhanghua the only ones trapped in the flames?"

"Jiu Ge...I..." Yin Liehuo smiled miserably, in that smile was indifference to the world and Shura-like indifference.

Such a smile made Baili Jiuge's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but react: Could it be that someone tripped and blocked the escape route of Liguo, wanting Liguo to die in the fire? !

Subconsciously looked at Mo Li, originally wanting to read some message from his eyes, but when he saw some smoke and dust on his forehead, Baili Jiuge's heartstrings were plucked fiercely, and the pain ran through his whole body .

"Mo Li!" She threw herself into Mo Li's arms, hugged him tightly, but suddenly raised her eyes to look directly at Mo Li, and sneered: "Why did you leave me here to wait for you, you don't know how to treat me like this?" Is it cruel to say that? I told you earlier that we advance and retreat together, share weal and woe, and you think that my words are all deaf to your ears, right?"

Baili Jiuge gasped for breath quickly, and after recovering, he declared again: "This time, everyone is fine, so let's just leave it alone. Mo Li, remember my words, no more next time!"

After all, without waiting for Mo Li to answer, Baili Jiuge turned around, walked towards Luo Xia, and said bluntly: "Now everyone has been rescued, please order to put out the fire with all your strength. And the reason for this fire , I don’t know if Your Majesty knows it well. I am very surprised that you are all together, why you let Lie Huo and Zhang Hua fall behind.”

Luo Xia's complexion changed slightly, and because Baili Jiuge's words were very direct, the rest of the people also smelled something strange, and they all felt that the fire at Mingzhe Temple was a bit strange.

Luo Xia recalled: "After the ceremony of praying for blessings was over, I went to eat the vegetarian meal with everyone. At this moment, the kitchen caught fire, and it was out of control after that. Everyone panicked. Acacia and Zhang Hua should be pushing each other , was left behind."

The kitchen is on fire, is that right?Baili Jiuge's eyes sank slightly, and he always felt that since he came to Heluo country, he had to pay more attention to emergencies. The same thing happened when Luo Zhanghua wanted to marry Mo Li last time, it was not easy.Although I can't analyze any conspiracy, I just feel that He Luo is more dangerous than the dynasty.At any rate, the capital of the court is the enemy who knows and who knows, but Heluo is the enemy who is dark and who knows.

At this moment, the little nun rescued by Mo Li returned to the host, and Rong Weijun also put Luo Zhanghua down.Luo Zhanghua suddenly let out a painful sob, it seemed that he woke up.

She woke up from a severe cough, obviously swallowed a lot of dust just now, and choked in her lungs, now she was out of breath and crying, "Someone wants to kill me, she set fire to kill me ..."

Luo Zhanghua's words immediately caused an uproar from the crowd.The sisters-in-law and officials over there were still pouring water to put out the fire, while the royal relatives and high-ranking officials had already gathered here, looking at Luo Zhanghua in unison.

Luo Xia bent down, stroked Luo Zhanghua's shoulder, told her not to be afraid, and said, "What's going on, Zhang Hua, tell me slowly."

"Your Majesty..." Luo Zhanghua burst into tears, crying out all the dust in his eyes, and his face was full of filth, "Your Majesty, it was her, she poured lamp oil in the kitchen and lit it... I saw it all, and wanted to burn me to death, so I blocked her way and didn't let her come out..." Luo Zhanghua said, raising his arm feebly, pointing at a person.

As she points to the past, the person she points to is Yin Liehuo.

"Acacia, you?!" Luo Xia's eyes suddenly sank.

"This is impossible!" Baili Jiuge said hastily.

On the other hand, Luo Bingshuang took the opportunity to add insult to injury: "Luo Xiangsi, my mother treats you like a sweetheart, and you actually did such a heartless thing!" He said to Luo Xia: "Mother, just look at Acacia. What did you do? This crime is so serious, even if you don't kill her, you have to deprive her of the title of princess!"

"Shut up." How could Luo Xia not know what Luo Bingshuang was thinking, she reprimanded: "The matter has not been fully revealed yet, I am asking Xiangsi now, you must not interrupt."

Luo Bingshuang was shut down, and shut up resentfully.

Seeing this, Baili Jiuge also knew that someone deliberately set fire to Mingzhe Temple and blamed Li Huo.But, is the arsonist Luo Zhanghua?

Baili Jiuge tried hard to calm down, thought about it carefully, and didn't think it was Luo Zhanghua.Luo Zhanghua and Lie Huo were rescued only because Mo Li and Xiao Rong entered the fire this time; in other words, if Mo Li and Xiao Rong hadn't arrived, wouldn't Luo Zhanghua and Lie Huo's lives be lost?

Baili Jiuge still felt that no matter how stupid Luo Zhanghua was, she would not risk her own life.So he said: "Your Majesty's words are true, this matter is such a big deal, the truth must be found out, otherwise, if someone is wronged, it will be too wronged!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Luo Zhanghua and said in a cold voice: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Who knows whether what you say is true or not, and you may be delusional and mistook someone else for you." Where is your fifth princess?"

Luo Zhanghua shuddered for a moment, and cried: "My lord did not read it wrong... really I did not read it wrong..."

Baili Jiuge looked away, really speechless at Luo Zhanghua's pitiful tone and pretentiously soft words, and didn't bother to talk to this person.

At this moment, a female officer suddenly shouted: "Who is sneaking around?! Haven't arrested her yet!"

Because of this sudden shout, everyone's attention was directed there.

Baili Jiuge also looked over, and saw a maidservant was caught by the people who came after her, struggling and shouting "let me go" and "forgive me", and was escorted to Luo Xia.

Then, the maid was pushed to the ground, and her head was still held to the ground.

The female officer next to her yelled angrily: "Whose maidservant are you? Why did you sneak away just now! Are you an arsonist? Tell me!" While shouting, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the maidservant roughly. Hair bun, forced to lift the head of the maidservant.

When Yin Liehuo's pale face full of fear was exposed in Yin Liehuo's eyes, a cold smile appeared in her eyes, and she said, "Zhu'er, it was you...I'll tell you why I collapsed on the doorpost." At that moment, I was tripped by someone and couldn't escape..."

Baili Jiuge's heart skipped a beat.What, this maid is an accomplice?

The maid who was called "Pearl" trembled in fright, she was stunned for a moment, but then, there was a gleam of hope on her face of despair, she crawled towards Yin Liehuo desperately, shouting in her mouth: "Five princes!" Your Highness! Your Highness, you must save this servant, you asked this servant to prepare lamp oil for you, and this servant has already prepared it... But this servant really doesn’t know that you asked for the lamp oil to set fire, this servant is innocent!”

Then she kowtowed to Luoxia again and again, "Your Majesty, the servants really don't know anything, they just do what the master tells them to do! The servants really don't know that His Royal Highness the Fifth Emperor wants to burn Mingzhe Temple Ah! Your Majesty the Empress, I beg you, please spare this servant!" He kowtowed fiercely, and within a short while, a big purple red bump appeared on his head.

This time, everyone shot strange eyes at Yin Liehuo.The evidence is conclusive, and the murderer is already very clear.

Even Luo Xia showed disappointed anger, looked at Yin Liehuo, and said coldly after a while: "Xiangsi, what else do you have to say, I will allow you to say it."

Yin Liehuo snorted softly, knowing that he couldn't argue with anything, and never had any hope for Luo Xia in his heart.At this moment, what he was thinking in his heart was not how to turn over, but was thinking carefully about who was the arsonist.

At this silent stall, Mo Li spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask this Miss Zhu'er."

"My lord, please ask."

"En." Mo Li bowed to Luo Xia, her moon-like unfathomable eyes shone sharply in the shadows of eyelashes.

It was this kind of gaze, the moment it touched Zhu'er's heart, it made Zhu'er terrified as if she had fallen into ice water, and it was indescribably cold from top to bottom.

Mo Li asked indifferently: "Miss Zhu'er, the lamp oil you mentioned is the lamp oil used by Mingzhe Temple?"

Pearl tied her tongue in fear, "Yes, yes..."

The corners of Mo Li's lips faintly traced the arc that is inevitable, but he still said lightly: "I wonder if Your Highness the Third Emperor can cooperate with the next matter."

The third princess who had been named had surprise in her eyes. She walked in front of Mo Li, clasped her hands together, performed Buddhist etiquette, and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me."

Mo Li said: "All the nuns in Mingzhe Temple are friends with the third emperor's daughter, and asked the third emperor's daughter to ask for some lamp oil from them."

The third princess couldn't help looking at Mingzhe Temple. Now that the fire has been extinguished, the smoke is still choking and the house has been destroyed a lot. It is not easy to get in to get lamp oil.

But because the monks don't tell lies, the three emperors expressed Moli's meaning to the sisters-in-law. The abbot of Mingzhe Temple thought about it, and then thought that there were some lamp oil in the warehouse behind the temple, so he sent a small The nun hurried over and brought a bowl of lamp oil.

When the lamp oil was brought to Mo Li, everyone didn't quite understand his intention.What does this arson lamp oil indicate?Is it possible that the prince of Zhou can still let the lamp oil speak up and defend the five emperors?
Baili Jiuge also bit her lip and said, "Mo Li, you want to..."

"Trust me." He smiled softly, flowing through Baili Jiuge's body like gentle spring water, making her hands and feet no longer so cold.

She smiled sassyly, yes, she should have believed in Mo Li wholeheartedly, shouldn't she?Mo Li will definitely find a way!

Mo Li looked at Rong Weijun, who was leaning lazily on a tree with the back of his head in his arms, as if he was enjoying life.

"Ziqian." Mo Li called him, "Let Shining come out."

sparkle?This changed Baili Jiuge to surprise.Where is Winky?Why haven't I seen it?
Rong Weijun also laughed and asked back: "Junior Brother Ziqing, how do you know I'm carrying Shining?"

Mo Li ignored the teasing title, and replied: "Xing Shan was originally gifted to you by me, and its whereabouts cannot be hidden from me."

"Okay, Junior Brother Ziqing, Senior Brother, I really have nothing to do with you." Rong Weijun shrugged his shoulders, with an expression of "Young Brother, how can you push your nose and eyes".

Seeing in Baili Jiuge's eyes, she couldn't help but sneered: "Be good if you get less, and then take advantage of Mo Li, and see if I don't kick you away!"

Rong Weijun was speechless.It's really unfilial for younger brothers and sisters, and it's even more difficult for younger brothers and sisters.Simply grinning, he stretched his hand into the skirt of his shirt, and then pulled out a fluffy milky yellow bauble.

And that little bastard, apparently in a deep sleep, suddenly saw the light like this, very upset, raised his paw in protest and yelled: "Aww! Awhhhh!"

Rong Weijun threw Shining lightly, and threw it into Mo Li's arms, and said with a long smile, "Okay, Shining borrowed from you, Junior Brother Ziqing, you can continue."

"Don't use that title again!" Baili Jiuge scoffed.

"Aww!" Winky said angrily.Why did the owner dump it?What a disgusting feeling!

The people around were watching this scene, they were puzzled about Mo Li begging for lamp oil, but now seeing the conversations between a few people is really strange and funny, everyone has all kinds of expressions on their faces, a little hard to resist the development of the matter up.

Mo Li glanced at everyone indifferently, stroked Shining's shiny fur, and smiled softly: "Xining, this is lamp oil used by arsonists." Seeing that Shining finally calmed down and sniffed it obediently, he said again : "Go, you know what I mean."

Shining nodded, then suddenly jumped out of Mo Li's arms, like a milky-yellow lightning bolt, into the crowd.

All the girls shouted loudly, many of them screamed in fright when they passed by, they were a little flustered for a while, and they didn't know what Mo Li wanted the ferret to do.

But it only took a moment for Shining to stop. The scene presented at this moment made everyone's eyes wide open in surprise!
I saw that Shining was on Luo Bingshuang's arm, and a small claw was still grabbing Luo Bingshuang's sleeve, and kept yelling at Mo Li.

Luo Bingshuang's face was colorful, as if being haunted by a ghost, and he frantically swung his arms, while slapping Shining, trying to drive it away.

However, Shining's movements are very flexible, even if she sprints back and forth on Luo Bingshuang's body, even though Luo Bingshuang dances like a monkey, she still can't drive away Shining.

Everyone was stunned.

Baili Jiuge also muttered in surprise: "What's wrong with Shining?"

Mo Li was the only one, and the sharp color at the bottom of his eyes gradually turned into turbulent and undercurrents, as deep as an ancient cave and unfathomable, but bright as snow that sees everything.There was a smile on the corner of her lips, as elegant as a flying epiphyllum, but the water was unfathomable.
