Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 183 Counterattack Luodiewu

Because of Yin Haochen's actions, Mo Li and Baili Jiuge stopped asking Wu Niannian how to get out of the mausoleum.

Seeing Baili Jiuge yawn, Mo Li hugged her tightly, and let her lean against him to take a nap with a smile.

In the carriage, it was quiet, only the sound of the carriage moving could be heard, the night wind was rustling, and the horseshoes were light.

Although Baili Jiuge was sleepy, he couldn't fall asleep, and subconsciously said to Mo Li: "Although there is no danger this time, I am too tired after all. That Luo Diewu is really abominable!"

"Well..." He responded softly, turned his eyes to look at Yin Haochen, and said lightly: "Your Highness, why not tell the Empress about this matter at night, the guard at the gate of the mausoleum in the car is willing to testify for His Highness if he wants to, and Chen The armor stolen by the concubine is also strong evidence. If His Highness takes the opportunity to reveal his identity, he will be able to live in a safer place with Concubine Chen."

Mo Li's words were also on Yin Haochen's mind, and he nodded in agreement.

And the guard at the gate of the mausoleum, who was grateful to Wu Niannian for saving his life, was naturally willing to be a witness to repay Wu Niannian.

Afterwards, under the cover of the night, Mo Li and Baili Jiuge returned to the post palace to take care of Wu Niannian temporarily, while Yin Haochen entered the palace under Yin Liehuo's recommendation and met the empress Luoxia.

Because of Yin Liehuo's status in Dashang, she was originally Yin Haochen's cousin, so Luo Xia didn't suspect anything. She met Yin Haochen overnight and learned about Wu Niannian's kidnapping.

Luo Xia was furious. Although she still maintained the majestic appearance of the monarch, the armor on her hand was broken and fell to the ground.

She immediately asked Yin Haochen to live in a royal courtyard, and asked the palace maid to immediately announce the second daughter Luo Diewu to see her.

At an ugly moment, Luo Diewu came, and when she confronted Yin Haochen face to face, Luo Diewu was terrified, how did she know that she had offended the king of the great merchant?

Although she didn't know much about Yin Haochen, she also knew that in the Shang and Zhou battles, it was this Prince Chen who led the troops to bring down Zhou Guo.She really made a mistake, she actually touched the concubine of Prince Chen!

At this moment, Yin Haochen stood with his hands behind his back, and there was an oppressive coldness three feet away.He stared at Luo Diewu deeply, and Wu Niannian's high fever and blurred eyes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He felt angry and said, "My concubine is seriously ill and can't come here. Now that the matter has come to light, I only hope that Your Majesty the Empress will deal with it fairly. My Dashang and Heluo have always kept the water in the river, and this king does not want to affect the relationship between the countries because of this trivial incident."

Luo Xia naturally understood the importance and proportion, so she immediately sent Luo Diewu to the dungeon for interrogation.

After hearing this matter, Yin Haochen saluted solemnly and left.

Because Luoxia asked Yin Haochen to move to live in the Royal Courtyard, so Wu Niannian was picked up from the Post Palace that night, carried by Yin Haochen into the carriage, and headed for the Royal Courtyard.

Along the way, Wu Niannian's whole body was scorched like a fire, which made Yin Haochen's brows wrinkled, as low as a piece of iron.

Thinking about the labyrinth of the mausoleum, Yin Haochen asked: "Nian Nian, I remember that there were many forks in that mausoleum. How did you bring those people out?"

"I..." Wu Niannian's eyes dodged a little.

Seeing what she was thinking about, Yin Haochen had no choice but to sigh: "I don't want to ask anymore, if you want to talk about it, tell me."

"My lord..." Wu Niannian's nose was a little sore, "My lord, please believe in Niannian, Niannian has no malicious intentions, Niannian just...doesn't want to recall terrible things."

Yin Haochen's heart tightened suddenly because of the word "terrible".In the past, I had a faint feeling that she had something to do, but I had no interest in knowing it, but now I want to get to the bottom of it.

Finally decided not to hurt her anymore, so he said: "This king believes in you, let's rest."

"My lord, thank you." Wu Niannian smiled sourly, closing her eyes and half asleep.

When they arrived at the other hospital, Wu Niannian was already fast asleep.

Yin Haochen placed her on the embroidered couch in the bedroom, lit a charcoal brazier beside him, dismissed the maid, and then remembered Wu Niannian saying that she had been tortured by the second daughter of the emperor, he subconsciously sat on the side of the bed and gently picked up Wu Niannian's hand. sleeve……

Welt!

Yin Haochen's hand shook violently.

Unexpectedly, Wu Niannian's arms were covered with many whip marks, some were new and some were old, and some were still clotted with black blood, which looked shocking.

He quickly looked at Wu Niannian's other sleeve, which was also covered with scars, including the long burn mark on her forearm, which was torn apart by the whip.

And her legs, same thing.

Yin Haochen covered her with a quilt, blew out the candles and went out of the house. After closing the door, he walked to the porch with almost great strides, and then punched hard on the porch pillar.

With a muffled sound, the corridor column cracked like a spider's web, just like Yin Haochen's heart was cracking in pain, and he hit his chest with uncontrollable anger.

If he had known that Luo Diewu was tormenting his princess so much, he should have asked Empress Heluo to send Luo Diewu to the border!Just going to prison is obviously too cheap for her!

Yin Haochen was panting violently, his fists were still clenched on the corridor pillars, due to the continuous fluctuation of his strong internal force, the roof of the corridor was already unstable, and some tiles fell down sparsely.

At this time, Yin Haochen suddenly heard footsteps.He hurriedly looked over and was surprised to see Wu Niannian walking over.

Because she still had a fever, she walked very unsteadily, holding the snow-white fox fur in her hand, and murmured distressedly: "My lord, Nian Nian saw that you have been standing here for a long time, it is cold at night, please put on your clothes. The corridor shakes a bit, Nian Nian feels dangerous..."

Yin Haochen's heart felt as if he had knocked over the bottle of five flavors, looking at Wu Niannian's spotless eyes, he couldn't tell what it was like.He could only be dominated by a feeling of pity, pushed away the fox fur she handed over, and blamed: "You are very sick, even if you woke up, you shouldn't have come out."

"I'm sorry." Wu Niannian was a little timid, "When the prince saw the injury on Niannian's body, Niannian woke up, but she didn't know what to do, so she didn't dare to open her eyes."

"Why didn't you say it." Yin Haochen's tone was more blaming, he almost roared: "You are my princess, and you have been wronged by others, so why can't you tell me!"

"Nian Nian..." I was speechless.

Seeing Wu Niannian's blurred eyes due to fever, Yin Haochen realized that his tone was serious, and he felt guilty again.What qualifications does he have to accuse her of concealing it?The sum of all the grievances she has suffered at the hands of others can't compare to the harm he has done to her!
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the appearance of Baili Jiuge nestled in Mo Li's arms, smiling sweetly, and the voice he heard this morning downstairs in the center of the lake... He could no longer deceive himself into thinking that he could still be with Jiuge Xuyuan, he is not a child, but a responsible man.

"Niannian." Yin Haochen picked up the fox fur in Wu Niannian's hand, wrapped her around her body, remained silent for a moment, and seriously expressed the decision in his heart.

"In the future, live a good life."

Wu Niannian was startled: "My lord?"

"Go back to the house and rest." Yin Haochen embraced Wu Niannian, took her back together, and said solemnly: "You are a kind person. Although this king cannot love you, he will try to accept you. From now on, we will treat you like a guest and live a good life."

"My lord..." Sure enough, the lord could never give her what she wanted.That being the case, respecting each other as guests is just a deceiving illusion, and my heart is really sore and painful...

The two figures slowly disappeared under the night lights and turned into the bedroom.Yin Haochen blew out the candle and lay down next to Wu Niannian. The two of them were back to back, each covered with their own quilts, and no one took the initiative to speak again.

Like a dream in the same bed, sleeping until dawn...

Two days later.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month of the Gengzi Year.

On this day, there was another light snowfall in Luoyi City, and the howling north wind swept away the remaining leaves, and almost no one was seen on the street.But in the tea house and wine shop, there were quite a few common people gathered in small groups, discussing about the abduction of Princess Dashangchen by the second daughter Luo Diewu.

It is said that His Majesty the Empress sentenced the second daughter to prison overnight, but the next day, someone desperately begged her Majesty to turn herself in, claiming that the second daughter was deceived by Mrs. Zhang Hua and just invited Princess Chen to be a guest. I didn't know that Mrs. Zhang Hua tortured Princess Chen privately, and deliberately stole the armor of the second daughter of the emperor for Princess Chen to take away, and pretended to be a servant of the second daughter's mansion, and took Princess Chen to the mausoleum of the late emperor .

Luo Xia didn't believe it at first.

But then, the servant who turned himself in brought out Luo Zhanghua's handwriting, and promised to compare the handwriting with the letter Yin Haochen received.So Luo Xia invited Yin Haochen, and after a comparison, the handwriting was exactly the same!
At this moment, Luo Xia was furious, and all the sympathy and favoritism she had towards Luo Zhanghua in the past could no longer be maintained at this moment.

She immediately issued an imperial decree, reprimanding Luo Zhanghua for doing such evil during the confinement period, depriving Luo Zhanghua of the title of lord, depriving him of his title, and sending Luo Zhanghua to the border of Heluo.

For such a change, not to mention Yin Haochen, even Baili Jiuge and Mo Li were a little surprised.

But obviously, this was Luo Diewu's way out in advance, in order to blame Luo Zhanghua once the incident happened.And Luo Diewu used Luo Zhanghua's handwriting in the kidnapping letter to Yin Haochen from the very beginning, such vicious and meticulous thoughts made Baili Jiuge speechless.

Also on this day, the Yin-Yang family codes that Baili Jiuge and Mo Li sent to Phoenix Valley before got a reply.Yi Fang Sanren personally dismantled the code and gave the meaning back to the two of them.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Baili Jiuge was stunned.It has nothing to do with Si Long!

She thought Luo Zhanghua was Si Long's subordinate, but she didn't expect that Luo Zhanghua's boss was Gu Lingjun from the Yin Yang family!

Baili Jiuge remembered that Han Chan once said that if you meet Gu Lingjun, you must stay away from him, he is very evil.

Looking at the communication between Luo Zhanghua and Gu Lingjun now, the content is that Gu Lingjun asked Luo Zhanghua to prepare various materials for her to refine Gu, and it has nothing to do with the Yin-Yang Curse.

This made Baili Jiuge a little disappointed: "I thought I could learn some solutions to the Yin-Yang Curse from these news, but I can't help you."

Mo Li sighed slightly, and comforted with a smile: "It's okay, no one can be sure about chance, and there will be chances in the future. Jiu Ge, cheer up."

Baili Jiuge nodded, and returned Mo Li with a bright smile.

Another day later, I went to visit Wu Niannian, and her illness was much better under the recuperation of the imperial physician.

Baili Jiuge couldn't help Xiaosong heaving a sigh of relief, and only hoped that Yin Haochen could regain his own life and treat Wu Niannian well.

Walking out of the other courtyard, Mo Li was standing here waiting for her. She smiled and passed her hand over, and was tightly held by that familiar, rough hand.

The two were about to leave hand in hand, when suddenly, a little beggar popped out from the base of the wall, deliberately lowered his voice, and called out, "Miss Heifeng! Miss Heifeng!"

The Beggar Gang has always been well-informed and will track her down, Baili Jiuge is not surprised.

He greeted him immediately, and asked with a smile: "It's me, what do you want me for?"

The little beggar quickly took out an invitation card, handed it with both hands, then took out another one, and handed it to Mo Li in the same way.

He said: "This is the invitation card for the wine tasting party at Feihong Mountain Villa, and chivalrous people from all walks of life are invited to participate. The owner Zhu made it clear that because the Qihua Valley is mysterious and hard to find, it is only given to Miss Heifeng, Young Master Si Ming, and others. It would be good if Queen Moon of Liang Kingdom posted. But Queen Moon is pregnant with a dragon child, so it is inconvenient to go there, so Miss Heifeng and Young Master Siming must reward the owner for his face."

Baili Jiuge immediately asked: "Qianying is pregnant again?"

"Uh..." The little beggar didn't expect the point of Baili Jiuge to be here, so he had to explain: "Since Qianying Song Ji became the Queen of Liang, she has no harem to manage, so it's good to do some charity work on weekdays. Emperor Cheng spoiled her so much that she was born one after another!"

That's it... Baili Jiuge accepted the invitation, and seeing that the appointment date was five days later, he said, "Don't worry, Mo Li and I will attend the wine tasting at Feihong Villa as scheduled."

After saying that, he said: "By the way, there are two young masters of Si Ming. Do you want to take the other one with you?"

It was Mo Li who answered Baili Jiuge: "No need, Ziqian will be crowned weak in [-] days. After returning to Epiphyllum Valley in the past few days, he was ordered by the master to prepare for the adult ceremony. It should be inseparable."

"Okay then, just the two of us will go, of course the face of Feihong Villa will be given, right?"

"Naturally." The five-day delay is nothing but harmless.What's more, Jiu Ge is a bit gluttonous, so if she misses such a great opportunity, she will regret it, and he will not let her regret it.

After such a discussion, the two went back to pack up their luggage, explained the situation with Yin Haochen and Yin Liehuo, and made some arrangements for the rainy day. Then they left Luoyi City and went to Mang Mountain, a hundred miles away from Luoyi City——Fei Hongshanzhuang is located in Mang Mountain.

Baili Jiuge told Mo Li that Feihong Villa was located in the northwest of Daliang State a few years ago, but because of the harsh tyranny of the emperor at that time, the elder brother of Emperor Jing Cheng, he encircled and suppressed Feihong Villa, causing the villa to be destroyed. Zhu Feihong, the owner of the village, took a group of brothers to hide in Phoenix Valley.So in those days, Baili Jiuge spent with Zhu Feihong and the others, and they had a lot of affection for each other.

Later, after Emperor Jing Cheng overthrew his elder brother and prospered Daliang, he made a special trip to choose the land in Mangshan Mountain to rebuild Feihong Villa.Therefore, even though Feihong Villa is located in Heluo territory, it is actually loyal to Emperor Jing Cheng and Empress Yue, and is always on call.

Mo Li also knows a lot about Zhu Feihong's deeds.

That Zhu Feihong is a close friend of the Queen of the Moon, known as the "Thousand-faced Rogue". He is ever-changing, and his disguise skills are unparalleled. In the past, he traveled across fifteen provinces and committed countless major cases of robbing officials, money, and food for disaster relief.

The most incredible thing is that Zhu Feihong is a 20-year-old girl.

At this moment, Baili Jiuge was happily talking about Zhu Feihong's disguise technique, and before he knew it, he passed the sacrificial square that was being built by the Luoshui River.

I passed by here when I was returning to the city a few days ago. Looking at it today, Baili Jiuge was surprised to find that the construction has been improved a lot. Not only the road and stone bricks have been paved, but even the garden landscape has begun to take shape.

The two looked around, and saw a group of peasants pulling carts nearby, their shoulders were left with red marks by the rope, they shouted slogans and pulled the stone forward.

This strong fighting spirit made Baili Jiuge work hard, and he couldn't help shouting: "How can this be the most sacred festival in Heluo, isn't it? Come on everyone!"

As if responding to the cry of Baili Jiuge, everyone worked harder.

But after all, the sky was still snowing right now, and the road was a little slippery. Suddenly, one person accidentally fell down, and the people next to him also lost their balance.

Then, the car tilted to one side, seeing that the stone on the car was about to fall and hit the shoulders of those people——

"Be careful!" Baili Jiuge's actions were faster than his thoughts, and the red shadow flashed and rushed forward.

And Mo Li was faster than her, blocking Baili Jiuge with his body, and facing the rolling stone, when the palm wind came out, the huge boulder was shattered into powder and blown away by the snow.

The crowd gasped.

Even Baili Jiuge was shocked.Such a strong internal force!

But after all, Mo Li's body was too cold, so he frowned when he used his inner strength like this, "Cough..." He coughed uncontrollably.

"Moli!" Baili Jiuge was startled, and quickly took his arm, and said with a sneer: "You should use your internal force to suppress the Yin-Yang curse? Why are you standing in front of me? This kind of thing is not allowed to happen again, I It’s not like you can’t break up these stones!”

Mo Li smiled softly, but he knew in his heart that if Jiu Ge had just shot, the boulder would be broken, but it couldn't be broken into powder.Instead, she will be hurt by the broken stones.

And at this moment, a slovenly man ran over from afar and shouted, "What happened? Why did the car reverse?"

Baili Jiuge recognized that this man should be the designer and supervisor of this square.She replied: "The road is slippery in snowy weather, the car overturned, my husband smashed the stones, otherwise the brothers pulling the carts would have died under the boulders."

The man gasped, and quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you two for saving them. The stones can be shipped again when they are gone. As long as there are no safety accidents, the loss cost is a trivial matter!"

He said, but because the cuffs were not taken care of, a blueprint fell out of the sleeve, which was the drainage construction drawing of the sacrificial square.

It happened that the construction drawing fell by Mo Li's shoe, so he bent over to pick it up, and glanced at the drawing...

The bottom of the moon-like eyes suddenly deepened, and suspicion and shock emerged at this moment.

Mo Li suddenly noticed something strange.
