Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 191 Deliberate planning

Baili Jiuge couldn't help being a little surprised, seeing Yuying disappearing in an instant, she asked in disbelief: "Mo Li, don't you suspect that Han Chan is Gu Lingjun?"

Mo Li moved his eyes, regained his pampering gaze, and said softly: "It's just that I have doubts. After all, she is related to the Yinyang family. What you heard from her is only one-sided. Besides, she is from Xiangguo , Xiangxi women all know the art of Gu."

"Although it makes sense to say so..." It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable.I regard Han Chan as a friend, and never doubted her. If Han Chan is really Gu Lingjun, then this kind of cheating taste is really bad.

Thinking of this, Baili Jiuge said: "I hope you guessed wrong this time."

Mo Li did not speak.

In the east wing of the post palace, in front of a bronze mirror with cicada flowers, Han Chan was facing the mirror, carefully putting on the silver earrings.Because the earrings were so meticulously crafted, Han Chan missed many times, and her face was almost stuck to the mirror.

And the masked Yuying, without any warning from Hanchan, broke in through the window suddenly, raised his sword to kill!
When Han Chan found Yu Ying, the sword was already close at hand. She covered her eyes and screamed in fright. The dressing table and the bronze mirror were all smashed to the ground.

She was so frightened that she curled up into a ball, not even daring to look at Yuying.

Yuying's sword struck right beside Han Chan, and the distance was extremely close. He looked down at Han Chan from a high position, but saw that she was still covering her eyes and shivering.

This made Mikage frowned.The little girl's behavior just now is obviously an ordinary girl, and there is no sign of martial arts at all... Did they suspect the wrong person?

"Don't, don't kill me..." A broken murmur sounded, and Han Chan removed the hand covering his face in horror, looking up at Yuying tremblingly.

She begged: "Don't kill me, I haven't hurt anyone... Do you want money? I have some money here..." She tremblingly went to take out her pocket, but because her little hands shook so hard, a string of coins fell to the ground. to the ground.

Seeing this, Yuying knew that it would be futile to stay here any longer, she turned her head and disappeared without a trace without saying a word.They were almost certain in their hearts that they really suspected the wrong person, the Gu Lingjun of the Yin Yang family couldn't be this weak woman who had no power to parry at all.

Back at the lakeside, Yuying reported the incident to Mo Li, in exchange for Mo Li's darker and deeper eyes.

Although Baili Jiuge was led away by Mo Li's emotions, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Let's just say, Han Chan, an unfortunate but sensible orphan girl, how could she be the evil and wicked Gu Lingjun of the Yin-Yang family in the legend? Woolen cloth?

So he said: "Mo Li, don't think about it yet, we just need to pay attention to our surroundings, it is possible that Gu Lingjun just passed by and has already left."

Mo Li smiled slightly: "I hope so..." Even though he said so, he felt more and more suspicious in his heart.

I always feel that... things are not that simple.

In the next few days, the post palace was always shrouded in suspicion, and the hazy atmosphere made Baili Jiuge a little uncomfortable, especially seeing Mo Li's deep eyes, frowning and meditating, his heart felt even more depressed.

She wanted to persuade Mo Li to think less and rest more, and Mo Li agreed, and indeed paid attention to rest.It's just that for some reason, not only did Mo Li's body and bones show no signs of recovery in the past few days, but his face became paler, and Baili Jiuge even felt that his body temperature became colder and colder.

This made Baili Jiuge very uneasy. He specially inspected the flowers of Nine Colors Ganoderma lucidum in the past two days, and they were still so magnificent and fragrant. The smell can obviously refresh people...

What went wrong?
Be puzzled.

Just two days before the new year is about to usher in, the royal family of Heluo held a celebration of riding a horse and tossing colored balls. A maidservant came to the post palace on a special trip and invited Baili Jiuge to participate.

Originally, because of Mo Li's physical condition, Baili Jiuge didn't want to get involved in this kind of activity, but the maid repeatedly emphasized that Her Majesty the Empress sincerely invited her, so Baili Jiuge had no choice but to agree to participate.

On the day of the event, the weather was exceptionally sunny.The blue sky is like joy, and a round of sun hangs high, shining on thousands of households, and it even shines brightly on the colorful flags and silks flying in the riding field.

Because the Heluo Kingdom regards women as the most respected, the women who participated in this event were dressed very eye-catchingly. Looking up at the stands, the fragrant maids were full of misty temples, colorful and colorful.

At this moment, a female official first tested the road conditions, rode her horse and ran all the way, setting off the snow and making all the women laugh, and the crisp sound was like a moonlight pendant falling to the ground, it was really sweet.

However, he said that in this event, apart from Baili Jiuge, the participants were the remaining three imperial daughters - the eldest daughter Luo Nishang, the third imperial daughter Luo Qixiu, and the fifth imperial daughter Luo Xiangsi.

The content of the activity is that four people should ride horses together for a circle, throw ten colored balls into the designated flower tubes, and the one who hits the most colored balls in the shortest time will be the winner and will be rewarded by Luo Xia personally A pair of blue and white glass bead inlaid gold wrist rings.

At this moment, the four women stood together on the starting line, and their respective hands went down to lead the horses.The groom in the stable has already selected four good horses with similar speeds, and arranged the horses according to the order of the four, tied them with floral ribbons as labels, and waited for the person who led the horses to come directly to pick them up.

The one who led the horse for Baili Jiuge was the servant girl assigned by Luo Xia. When the horse came, she jumped on it, shook her black hair gracefully, and smiled at Mo Li who was beside Luo Xia.

Then, Luo Nishang, the eldest daughter of the emperor, also got on the horse.

After a while, Guan Cheng and a maid handed over their horses to Yin Liehuo and the third princess Luo Qixiu.

When Yin Liehuo got on the horse, he saw that the flower belt label on the horse's head was wrong, turned his eyes to Guan Cheng and said, "This is the third sister's horse, did you pull the wrong one?"

Guan Cheng said nothing, just cupped his hands.

Yin Liehuo narrowed his eyes and wanted to ask again, but the third imperial daughter Luo Qixiu said: "The horses are all the same, lovesickness, there is no need to exchange them."

Yin Liehuo could only smile softly: "Listen to what Third Sister means."

Seeing that several people stopped talking, they were all ready to go, and the female officer in charge of issuing the order beat the gong.

With the sound of this clear and long impact, the four horses came out together and immediately turned into silhouettes.

The onlookers immediately became overwhelmed, and almost all of them stood up at this moment, cheering vigorously.But when the four women ran past the first flower tube, they threw the colored balls in their hands to the flower tube, and they hit all of them!
Baili Jiuge, who was riding a horse, was blown by the bright wind, and suddenly felt that the sky was high and the clouds were calm, and there was a kind of joy that had not been seen for a long time.These days, because of Mo Li's body, she has always been worried, and at this moment she can finally regain her sense of chic and let herself go.

Just as I was thinking, another flower tube was approaching, um... The angle is so tricky.

So he stepped on the place where he stepped, leaned out from the side of his upper body, threw a backhand, and hit.

It's a piece of cake!
Baili Jiuge laughed heartily, knowing that this kind of activity is not difficult at all compared to fighting with hidden weapons in the rivers and lakes.She just wanted to play a lot to relieve the sullenness these days, and she didn't bother to care about getting the first prize and receiving the prize.

But when Baili Jiuge threw the fifth flower tube, there was the sound of horseshoes getting closer behind him, and then, Yin Liehuo and the third princess Luo Qixiu overtook them from left to right, and they were very likely to be Baili. Jiuge was left behind.

This is not allowed!Baili Jiuge waved his whip quickly, although he would not deliberately grab the first place, but he would definitely use all his skills to deal with it.

When the seventh flower tube was thrown, Luo Nishang, the eldest daughter of the emperor, was left far behind, and Luo Qixiu, the third daughter of the emperor, was also gradually left behind, leaving only Baili Jiuge and Yin Liehuo running side by side.

I saw two people chasing after each other, which was very exciting.

The red dress of Baili Jiuge fluttered like a bright red flame burning on the back of a horse, her black hair flaunted behind her head, and the petals of the phoenix flower with bundled hair splashed out as she ran.

Yin Liehuo, on the other hand, was dressed in a blue-colored outfit, with curly, wavy hair hanging all over his head, and his plump lips, stained with rouge, were seductive and enchanting.

Running to the ninth flower tube, the two looked at each other, each leaned out, the flower balls in their hands flew out together, one left and one right, and were thrown into the flower tube at the same time, which attracted the applause of the crowd. wheel.

Seeing that the last flower tube was about to arrive, the two also tacitly decided to give it a go based on their respective abilities.

But at this moment, no one expected that the third princess Luo Qixiu's exclamation suddenly sounded from behind, and then the crowd roared loudly, drowning out Luo Qixiu's heart-piercing screams.

Baili Jiuge and Yin Liehuo subconsciously reined in their horses, and finally turned their horses' heads before the tenth flower tube. Looking back, they gasped in shock.

"This!"

Baili Jiuge couldn't believe it, Luo Qixiu fell off the horse and hit the poles standing beside the track, one of the poles pierced her chest!And the horse she was originally riding was kicking wildly and neighing incessantly!
"Third Sister!" Yin Liehuo hurriedly got off his horse and ran towards Luo Qixiu.

The surrounding crowd also poured in, and everyone turned pale with shock.

But when Yin Liehuo was about to arrive at Luo Qixiu's place, Luo Qixiu's horse suddenly ran towards Yin Liehuo.

Before Yin Liehuo could turn her face away, the dust kicked by the horse's hoof hit her face, and the force even made her lose her balance and fell backwards to the ground.

Looking up again, the whole person is covered by the shadow of the horse, the horse's hoof is raised high, and it is about to kick towards Yin Liehuo...

"Fire!" Baili Jiuge rushed forward.

Still she was too far away, and the hooves were about to fall.

At this moment, she couldn't hear the shouts around her, she just wanted to slow down the time so that she could push the fire out.At this moment, the scene of Baili Hongxiao and Meng Fu dying under the knife appeared in her mind... She never wants to experience such a thing in her life!
The race against time cruelly made Baili Jiuge forget to breathe.

But what she didn't expect was that someone suddenly rushed out from the crowd and galloped towards Yin Liehuo from another angle. At the very moment, Yin Liehuo was thrown out, and the falling horse's hoof stepped on the man's brocade robe , and immediately stepped on the brocade robe and tore it apart.

Because of a sudden brake, Baili Jiuge lost his balance and fell face up.She exhaled in horror, unexpectedly, she fell into a familiar embrace.

"Jiu Ge, are you alright?" The melodious and quality voice was like a chime, and it sounded so anxious at the moment.

Baili Jiuge was stunned for a moment, feeling a touch of emotion spread to the two Wang Xingtan in Shang Moli, but couldn't help but sneered: "You used lightness kung fu from there again, didn't you? I told you not to use it. Internal strength, do you take my words as deaf ears?"

After saying that, he quickly looked towards Yin Liehuo, and when he saw the person who saved Yin Liehuo, Baili Jiuge was pleasantly surprised: "Guan Cheng?!" Fortunately, Guan Cheng is a master, and he protected Liehuo comprehensively!

As soon as Yin Liehuo looked into Guan Cheng's eyes, he suddenly thought that before setting off just now, Guan Cheng brought the third sister's horse... No wonder she asked Guan Cheng, but Guan Cheng didn't answer, so it is actually...

Just as he was about to ask a question, there was another shadow above his head. The manic horse showed its hooves towards the two of them again.

The next moment, Guan Cheng raised his sleeves, and the wind from his sleeves hit the horse's belly.The huge Crazy Horse immediately let out a heart-piercing neigh, was beaten back several steps, and knelt on the ground with its hind legs.

At the same time, on Luo Qixiu's side, the terrified shouts became more and more intense.

Baili Jiuge hurriedly said: "Go and have a look!"

So Guan Cheng helped Yin Lie get angry, and the four of them hurried over.

Looking at Luo Qixiu from such a close distance, even Baili Jiuge, who is used to seeing injuries and bleeding, also feels a chill down his back, and a chill wells up in his throat.

Luo Qixiu's chest and back were pierced by a long iron pole, and the gurgling blood stained her white clothes embroidered with Sanskrit black and red.The severe pain made her sweat profusely, strands of her hair stained, the blood color receded from her face little by little, and those plain eyes that were indifferent to the world were gradually losing their expression.

At this moment, Luo Qixiu was surrounded by several imperial physicians to rescue her, but because her body was pierced by the iron pole, the imperial physicians did not dare to pull out the pole without authorization, and Luo Qixiu could not even lie down because of this.

Who would have thought that such an accident would happen in what was supposed to be a festive and lively match.The person who was riding on the horse just now, as light and distant as white water, is now covered in bright red, and it is not known whether he can escape death!

Luo Xia rushed over out of breath, and when she saw Luo Qixiu's appearance, she could no longer maintain her majesty, her face turned pale.

Luo Nishang, the eldest daughter of the emperor who was originally backward, also hurried over to let the imperial physicians stabilize their position and save Luo Qixiu from danger.

Looking at this scene, Baili Jiuge really wanted to help, but he couldn't help, so he could only watch.But looking at it, I suddenly remembered something.

I remember that the horse that Luo Qixiu was riding was originally supposed to be ridden by Agni... He gasped suddenly, if the horse hadn't been changed when the prison was completed, wouldn't the person pierced by the iron pole be Agni?so close!
Someone exclaimed at this moment: "Horse! Look at that horse! That crazy horse is dead!"

Half of the people looked away, only to see that the horse that fell to the ground just now was lying on the ground with its whole body, convulsing weakly, with white foam constantly gushing out of its mouth, emitting an unpleasant smell. odor.

wait...the smell is!
Baili Jiuge was immediately taken aback.

She has come into contact with this smell before. There are some animal trainers who specialize in taming wild beasts in the rivers and lakes. They use this medicine to intimidate and punish those wild beasts that don’t obey orders. The dose must not be too heavy... But today's horse must have been poisoned by a heavier dose. It triggered the drug initiation while running, went crazy and threw away Luo Qixiu, and lost its life in the end!

At this moment Luo Qixiu's bleeding was stopped, an imperial physician wiped off cold sweat and said: "Fortunately no vitals were injured, the life of the third imperial daughter should be able to be saved, what a blessing among misfortunes!"

This remark made everyone heave a sigh of relief, and the imperial physicians quickly called two men over to saw off the iron pole on Luo Qixiu's chest, so that Luo Qixiu could finally lie on a stretcher and be transported away...

At this moment, Luo Xia's face was whiter than lime. She pointed at the dead crazy horse, and forced herself to control her trembling syllables: "Go... find out the cause of that horse's death!"

A veterinarian hurriedly stumbled over there, and after a consultation, the announced result was exactly the same as what Baili Jiuge believed—that horse was indeed poisoned mad by the drug!
These words were like a strong cool wind, which immediately poured into the bottom of everyone's heart.

People exchanged glances one after another.

This is clearly a conspiracy, who can't understand now?

At this moment beside Luo Xia, those young and handsome imperial husbands couldn't help talking.The imperial husband at the head is the oldest, and he is Chen Huangfu, the biological father of the eldest daughter Luo Nishang.

Mrs. Chen Huang came out and said: "It is clear that someone deliberately murdered the third princess. Your Majesty should search the entire racecourse immediately while everyone is here. Otherwise, if it is too late, the criminal will be given the order to destroy the evidence." time."

Luo Xia felt that Chen Huangfu's words were reasonable, so she recruited Jin Zhi and said, "Send someone to search, and we must not let go of any corner."

Watching the dispatch of the imperial guards team by team, densely packed to occupy the huge racetrack, Baili Jiuge touched the back of his head, and his fingers were stained with cold and sticky sweat.

She approached Yin Liehuo subconsciously, but she heard Yin Liehuo using a cold tone, and said to Guan Cheng in the sound of mosquitoes: "Did you change the horse to Third Sister because you saw that the horse was drugged?" ..."

Then there was Guan Cheng's answer, only one word: "Yes."

Baili Jiuge couldn't help being surprised.It turned out that today's tragedy was aimed at Agni? !

She looked at Mo Li, and what she saw from the bottom of his eyes was a flash of clarity, which gradually condensed into an unfathomable vortex, swirling doubt and anger.

Then, Mo Li whispered: "The four horses for the race were selected yesterday and cannot be changed. Therefore, even if Guan Cheng finds that Li Huo girl's horse is different when leading the horse, there is no horse to change."

So, did you think of changing the third princess' horse?
Baili Jiuge knew Guan Cheng's willingness to protect Agni, but the third princess was so innocent, she almost lost her life just now... It was all caused by the person in charge, so vicious, her heart Executionable!

The waiting time was long, Baili Jiuge stood in place with the crowd, waiting for the imperial guards to search the whole place.

After experiencing the accident just now, even with so many people gathered together at this moment, she also felt that the cold wind was too cold, making her shiver, and her heart became more and more uneasy... It was like, there was something worse Something is going to happen.

And soon, Baili Jiuge's premonition came true.
