Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 187
Baili Jiuge thought for a while, and replied: "Of course I will be surprised when I suddenly realized my mistake, and then I will be terrified, and then I will be glad that I didn't get robbed."

Mo Li caressed the top of Baili Jiuge's head, and said with a smile: "It's like moving into a new house, living happily for a few days, only to be told that it's a truth to forget to close the door every night. People will have lingering fears, and then rejoice , how can you be like Luo Diewu, just say 'this makes sense' and settle down?"

There was a cold smile on the corner of her lips, and Mo Li said: "She only wanted to hide deeply, but forgot about human instincts, cleverness was mistaken by cleverness, that's how it is."

It turned out to be like this... Baili Jiuge stared at Mo Li, nodded his head a few times in a daze, and understood why Mo Li had to visit Luo Diewu in person instead of climbing over the courtyard wall to check the back garden privately—

If you go there privately, if you are discovered by those sharp-eyed servants, you will scare the snakes; but a guest as open and aboveboard as today can actually be full of rewards and end successfully.

Baili Jiuge smiled coquettishly: "Mo Li, you really have it. But I jumped into the river and saw the trap, so I can help you a lot."

It doesn't matter if you don't say this, as soon as you finish speaking, Baili Jiuge will regret it.Just because of those dark eyes in front of him, strong emotions suddenly surged up, blame, pity, fear, guilt... Like a dense net, it bound Baili Jiuge's heart.

This look is like thick wine, so thick that if you touch it with a drop, you will be drunk. Watching Baili Jiuge a little drunk, he pulled his throat: "Mo Li..."

"Jiu Ge, from now on, don't do this again." He coaxed deeply, with a hint of desire.

The picturesque eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the dark pupils reflected the shadow of Baili Jiuge, fluctuating with the jade-like eyes, full of deep affection.Although it seemed to be blaming her, the tone was as gentle as water, with supreme tolerance.

"Jiu Ge, let me say it again, I don't want to make you tired and make you suffer. So, don't do such things again, okay?"

"Ink Li..." Baili Jiuge was so touched that he drank honey, he couldn't help raising his hand, and caressed Mo Li Ruyu's pale face.It's so cold, it's still so cold...

Finally, he smiled freely: "I know you love me and want to spoil me, but I also said that I will do my best to help you. I just soaked in some ice water, and this bit of suffering is nothing. As long as I can help you, that's fine!"

Yin Haochen, who was sitting across from him, turned his eyes away at first, unable to bear to look at the deep affection of the two people opposite him that hurt his heart, and forced himself not to listen to their words.But at this moment, Baili Jiuge's last words were like a chisel, ruthlessly cutting Yin Haochen's heart open.

The heart wall suddenly collapsed, but it was not because of the pain that she couldn't ask for Baili Jiuge, but because her behavior seemed familiar, which made Yin Haochen suddenly think of Wu Niannian.

I just soaked in some ice water...

This bit of suffering is nothing...

For me, as long as I can help you...

There was a burst of sadness in his chest, which was so violent that it almost tore Yin Haochen's chest apart... The same fell into the icy cold water, and Mo Li treated Jiu Ge with such care, what about himself?And how did you treat Niannian? !
He actually ignored her until she lost consciousness!But it must be known that she has suffered more than Jiuge!

Yin Haochen punched the carriage hard, and because of the great strength, the whole carriage was tilted to the side.The wind chime hanging by the window made a shrill and clear sound, and under the black robe, the broad arms trembled violently.

Baili Jiuge was stunned, but Mo Li calmly supported her waist, carried her and moved a little to the side, allowing the carriage to regain its balance.

Under the moon-like pupils, strange colors flickered. Looking through the raised car window, he saw the scene outside. Mo Li said indifferently: "Prince Chen, your place of residence has arrived."

Yin Haochen came back to his senses in a daze, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, he didn't know what was going on, where was going, where was going, where was going.Only then did I realize that the carriage was slowly stopping, and outside the gauze curtain was the familiar vermilion gate, with a slender figure standing silently at the gate.

"Princess Chen is waiting for you at the door." Mo Li's voice, ethereal like a bell ringing ten miles away, hurt Yin Haochen's bewildered heart.

Then, Yin Haochen got off the carriage in a daze, and walked towards Wu Niannian, but Wu Niannian greeted him in surprise and worry.

Seeing Wu Niannian's appearance, she wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she was pulled into her arms by Yin Haochen.

"My lord?" Wu Niannian murmured in surprise.

Yin Haochen's breathing was heavy and muddy, and his whole body was sinking.He didn't know what happened to him, probably because he had no relationship with Jiuge, he became as hysterical as he is now.

"Nian Nian, this king..." As if a lump stuck in his throat, he couldn't continue speaking because of the pain, so he could only hold Wu Nian Nian so tightly.

Even though he doesn't love her, he clearly knows that he feels pity for her at this moment.

The tall black figure completely enveloped this thin and slender figure, and it has not been separated for a long time...

The carriage gradually moved away, wandering past along the way.Yufeng wanted to send Mo Li and Baili Jiuge back first, and then return the carriage.

The gauze curtain was put down, Baili Jiuge looked away from the corner, and he could probably guess in his heart that Yin Haochen was so distraught because he remembered Wu Niannian's soaking in the river last time.Speaking of which, I was only able to recover because of Wu Niannian's great kindness, and I will spare no effort to repay this favor in the future.

Looking at Mo Li, seeing his eyes as dark as ancient caves, with a sharp light like broken snow, she couldn't help thinking, and asked, "Mo Li, what are you thinking about?"

"Well..." He responded, and said slowly: "I'm thinking, what on earth is Luo Diewu going to do in the sacrificial ceremony? What's the benefit..."

yes.Baili Jiuge showed a puzzled expression, but she couldn't figure it out either.

"Could it be that Luo Diewu's purpose is somewhere else..." Mo Li murmured, sharp eyes flashed in his eyes.

Baili Jiuge knew that he couldn't figure it out, so he simply rubbed against Mo Li's chest, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, go back to the lake building to warm up your body, and don't think about it after dinner." Chi, anyway, there are still a few days before the sacrificial ceremony, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain!"

Mo Li smiled slightly, and responded softly: "Okay."

So, in the next few days, Mo Li day by day sent Yuying to follow Luo Diewu and Lin Zhen, summarizing and analyzing every word the two said.

According to Yuying, when Luo Diewu and Lin Zhen talked privately, they didn't explain the matter clearly, they only vaguely heard some key words, such as "oracle" and "don't turn over".

Mo Li tried to connect these words into one, but after thinking about it, he still felt a little confusing.He also thought about arresting Lin Zhen for questioning, but if Lin Zhen refused to speak up, he would startle the snake, and the situation would be even more unfavorable...

Looking at Mo Li leaning against the window, with a light and serious expression, and deep and far-sighted eyes, Baili Jiuge thought for a while, and suggested: "The burning courtyard is also cleaned up, there will be no meticulous work, why don't we go see Take a fire, think about it together, maybe you can come up with it."

also good.Mo Li responded with a smile.

Going to Xiangyuan now, I still borrowed Yin Haochen's carriage, so even if someone with a heart saw me on the way, I thought it was Yin Haochen who went to see Yin Liehuo.And because these two are cousins, no one with a heart can make a fuss about it.

He quietly arrived at the Xiangyuan, and met Yin Liehuo in a hidden side room.Yin Liehuo invited Mo Li and Baili Jiuge to take their seats, and asked Guan Shilang to guard the outside, and they immediately exchanged the news they had received these days.

Naturally, Yin Liehuo has not been idle these days, and he specially asked Guan Shilang to secretly investigate the craftsmen responsible for the construction of the sacrificial square and all the construction details.

At this moment, Yin Liehuo spread out the paper full of data on the table.

Mo Li watched carefully.

Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and wherever he looked, the sharpness seemed to be able to cut through paper.The corners of his lips gradually curled into a determined smile, which was slightly cold.

"I see……"

At this moment, a thread flashed in my mind, connecting all the previous clues together.

He understands.

There is no doubt that there is a certainty in the moon-like eyes.Baili Jiuge hurriedly asked: "Mo Li, tell me."

Mo Li responded to her softly, turned his eyes, and his faint words were like a stone breaking through the water and sky: "Luo Diewu wants to use the sacrificial ceremony to target Liehuo girl. If this is the case, then we will use our plan and turn Luo Diewu into Dead end."

Yin Liehuo lightly nodded and murmured: "Dead end..."

"En." Mo Li smiled coldly: "There is no need to entangle this person any longer, just this one blow will make her irreparable."

"Fatal blow..." A cold light suddenly appeared in Yin Lie's eyes.

Hearing that, Mo Li said: "Miss Liehuo, 'Oracle', this is Luo Diewu's trick and conspiracy."

Yin Liehuo was stunned, and instantly understood clearly, between red lips and white teeth, was Sen Liang's breath: "I know what to do, it seems that I can't be idle tonight, so I will go to arrange the next thing with Guan Shilang Bar."

"Do you need my help?" Mo Li softened his tone.

Yin Liehuo shook his head and smiled softly: "You can accompany Jiuge. Tomorrow, I will invite the two of you to watch a good show together." He stood up and started to prepare.

Baili Jiuge sat at the table, looked at Yin Liehuo's back, and then at Mo Li, feeling that one head was two big.Who can tell her what Mo Li and Lie Huo are talking about?

Trying to think hard, kicking the legs of the table with two calves, pouting red lips, that look is indescribably cute.

Mo Li looked at her softly, and murmured considerately: "Can't figure it out?"

"Yeah, I'm crazy, how can it look like the two of you are Qiqiao Linglong?" Puzzled, he surrendered.

Mo Li gently combed her black hair, which was full of songs like waterfalls, and smiled like a piece of warm jade: "If you don't understand it, don't think about it, just watch tomorrow's development with peace of mind. I like to see your carefree life It looks like, those worries, just let me take care of them."

"Mo Li..." I can't tell how many times I was touched, I only know that my heart is filled with happiness and sweetness.

Baili Jiuge smiled and nodded in agreement.

It is night, and the crescent moon is like a hook.

The day was clear, as cold as frost and snow.

Outside the city of Luoyi, around the completed sacrificial square, hundreds of guards were guarding and patrolling, protecting all kinds of fireworks, carpets, and banners arranged on the square during the day.

The howling north wind cheered up everyone's spirits, and they didn't dare to neglect at all.But no one noticed that under the cover of the dense night, someone flew past like a night owl, and reached the center of the square in the blink of an eye.

It was Yin Liehuo and Guan Shilang.

After the Guan servant took Yin Liehuo to the destination, he quickly hugged her and lay down, avoiding the sight of the patrolling guards.And here the ligated fireworks, undulating carpets and potted plants have successfully become their hiding place.

Under the moonlight, Yin Lie lightly fanned his curly eyelashes, and his devilish eyes were as cold as snow.

She thought about the data about the amount of construction that she had presented to Mo Li before, and it was these data that made Mo Li suspicious——the amount of stone was not right.It is said that the sacrificial square is paved with uniform bluestone bricks, but according to the data investigated by Guan Shilang, the stone materials used in the center of the square are obviously more than other places.

At this moment, Yin Liehuo and Guan Shilang cautiously groped and tapped on the nearby bluestone bricks.

Knocking, knocking, I suddenly noticed something wrong with the sound, as if the head was hollow!
Guan Shilang hurriedly approached, and silently turned up the square brick, only to see that there was indeed a small dark room underneath!

Yin Liehuo then rolled up the corner of his skirt and entered carefully.Guan Shilang then closed the floor tiles after entering the underground darkroom.

This basement is not big, just like an ordinary house, but the things inside make the eyes of the two of them sink.

I saw a living wall on one wall. Yin Liehuo tried to push it, and the wall could be turned around on the central axis.Guan Shilang took a fire folder and looked behind the wall, and what he saw was a damp and bottomless passage, somewhat like an underground waterway.

In the center of the dark room is a thick bluestone.Yin Liehuo understands that this is the reason why there are many more stones in the center of the square - the extra bluestone is the one.

"Your Highness, look quickly." Guan Shilang called out in a low voice, the light from Huozhezi fell on the big bluestone, casting a mottled hazy yellow.

There were words engraved on the stone surface, and when the four words came into his eyes, Yin Liehuo's eyes turned cold.

"National calamity for Yin"!
Seeing this, the corners of the bright red lips formed a cold arc, and the smile was like the snow in June: "It's really like this, it's exactly the same as what Mo Li guessed... Is it an oracle? Ha... I can't turn over again, I really do everything I can..."

But at this moment, there were guards patrolling the square, and they heard some soft voices, and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone come here and have a look! Why do I hear weird noises from the ground?"

It happened so suddenly, Yin Liehuo was startled, and suddenly one hand was held by Guan Shilang.With a light tug, he pulled Yin Liehuo to the corner of the dark room, leaning his back against the corner, and his whole body was completely covered by Guan Shilang's tall body.

"Hush." ​​Guan Shilang whispered, and extinguished the flame. In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, only those eyes are as bright as scimitars.

There were footsteps and human voices coming from overhead, and gradually it seemed that five or six people had gathered.

Someone said: "Brother, you must have heard it wrong. How can there be any weird sounds in the ground? Don't be scary in the middle of the night. We have to sacrifice to the gods tomorrow. Are you trying to recruit a ghost first?"

The man was puzzled and said: "But I really heard a hissing sound just now, why is it gone now, it's so quiet... No, I have to listen to it with my ears."

Yin Liehuo's heart tightened, but he didn't make a sound.

The man above seemed to really put his ears on the floor tiles, listened carefully for a while, and stood up after making sure that there was no sound.

Then the rest of the people taunted him for a while, and then dispersed to inspect each other.

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually moving away, Guan Shilang let go of Yin Liehuo, cupped his hands, and whispered respectfully: "I have offended you, Your Highness, forgive me."

Yin Liehuo shook his head slowly. If it wasn't for Guan Shilang's quick reaction just now, maybe she would have accidentally scrambled her steps and let her superiors notice... Then he whispered: "I want to thank you."

After saying that, when he walked up to the boulder, Yin Liehuo glanced at Guan Shilang blankly, and there was a touch of intimacy in that blankness, and his tone softened.

"What's your name?" She asked suddenly.

Guan Shilang replied: "It's not worth mentioning."

Yin Liehuo murmured softly: "You are the concubine son of the city guard of Yanshi City, named Guan Cheng, you were not valued by your mother at home, and were sent to the palace as a servant...but you came to me voluntarily. I know..."

Hearing this, Guan Cheng raised his eyebrows lightly.

Yin Liehuo said: "About my past in the Shang Kingdom, you must have inquired about it and analyzed it carefully... You know what I want to do when I return to Heluo, so you want to use me to climb to a high position step by step. Trample your whole family on the soles of your feet...is that right, Guan Cheng?"

Guan Cheng said bluntly: "It's not that I use His Royal Highness the Fifth Emperor, but a good bird chooses a tree to live in, just to get His Highness' support."

"Bringing?" Yin Liehuo said the word suddenly after reading these two words playfully.

"it is good!"

It is no longer a slow whisper, but a strong and decisive oath: "I will never treat loyal people badly, but those who betray me will have to pay a terrible price. Guan Cheng, if you are loyal to me, then I The day you ascend the throne as the emperor is the time when you will be in charge of the harem. As long as you don't have the slightest disagreement, I will let you sit in the palace for the rest of your life."

Guan Cheng knelt down with a solemn expression, clasped his fists and said, "I will not disgrace my life!"

"Get up..." Yin Liehuo groaned slowly, letting an extremely sad emotion permeate his heart.

Suddenly his throat was a little choked up, and there was a mist in his eyes. Yin Liehuo felt like a dying candle, still lingering on his breath, illuminating Mo Li's farther and farther figure, greedily wanting to burn for a while...

However, the moment she swore the oath, she understood that she would never have anything to do with him again.From then on, she will walk on the path she chose forever, coldly and lonely, until it gets dark... And no one who will accompany her in the future will be able to make her unforgettable like him.

Sad emotions filled my chest, and two lines of tears flowed down like this...

Remnant candle, extinguished...

However, this is the path she chose, even if she loses the thing she can't bear to part with, she will never regret it!
Taking a deep breath, Yin Liehuo calmed down, only to realize that Guan Cheng was wiping her tears with a square handkerchief.

She didn't move, and she was silent for a long time, and finally came back to the topic, facing the bluestone engraved with "National Misfortune is Yin", said: "Guan Cheng, it's up to you next."

Guan Cheng took back the square handkerchief, cupped his hands and said, "I obey."

As he spoke, he came to Dashi, took out a small bottle from his pocket, and poured the liquid in the bottle onto the bluestone...

And Yin Liehuo groaned coldly: "Luo Diewu, tomorrow, let me watch you be self-satisfied and never turn over for the rest of your life..."
