Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 192
About half an hour later, the imperial guards who searched around made a discovery.

I saw a team of imperial guards running over from the stables, holding the searched items on a clean cloth, and presenting them to Luo Xia, which was also exposed to everyone's eyes.

When he saw the thing on the cloth, Baili Jiuge gasped, Mo Li's eyes sank, Yin Liehuo was stunned, and Guan Cheng also opened his eyes slightly.

It turned out to be a few golden needles and a pack of medicine that was only half left.

Gold needles... This kind of object made the hearts of several people hang up, and they couldn't help but exchanged glances.

Immediately, an imperial doctor came over, inspected the package of medicine, and then announced: "Your Majesty, it is this package of medicine powder that makes the horse go crazy, and half a package of medicine can indeed kill the horse. And this golden needle! He checked the golden needles again, and said, "That half pack of medicine powder was applied on these golden needles and pierced into the horse's body."

Such an inference made everyone logically think that someone had poisoned the horse with gold in advance, but because of haste and fear, they ran away before destroying the evidence.

But the stable is an obvious location that can be watched from the entire stand, and everyone really doesn't remember seeing anyone entering or leaving, only the four people who are in charge of leading the horses, and the groom in the stable...

groom?For a moment, everyone focused their suspicions on that person.

Luo Xia also immediately asked the imperial guards to bring the groom here.

The groom had already been restrained at the beginning of the search, and now the imperial guards brought him over, and he staggered in the middle, his small eyes were full of trembling light, as if He was trying to forcefully gather the fragmented light, but he still lost to Luo Xia's majestic gaze.

"Raise your head up." Luo Xia looked at the kneeling groom and ordered her majestically.

The groom was trembling badly, sobbing and finally raised his head, but his eyes were still avoiding, he didn't dare to look at Luo Xia at all.

In the eyes of everyone, this appearance is nothing more than a manifestation of "guilty heart".

That Chen Huangfu yelled in front of the room: "If you really have a clear conscience, you can tell everything you know. Your Majesty knows everything, why are you so nervous?!"

The groom was so frightened that he couldn't even kneel down. With a pale face, he shouted hysterically: "You know your mistake! You know your mistake! You only poisoned the horse because of coercion. Yes!"

Everyone was taken aback.

In Baili Jiuge's heart, the bad premonition intensified!
Luo Xia settled down, and said coldly: "Speak clearly, I will spare you the death penalty!"

"Thank you, thank you Your Majesty for not killing, let me tell you all about it!"

The groom scrambled to Luo Xia, and suddenly looked at Baili Jiuge and the others in fear, and then pointed to this side, "Yes, the fifth emperor asked the younger one to do it, and the fifth emperor asked the younger one to do it. A man's daughter blackmails a villain!"

The voice fell, causing an uproar.

In an instant, all kinds of dazzling eyes fell on Yin Liehuo.Those were the eyes of surprise, anger, condemnation, and disgust. These kinds of colors are like returning to the capital of the dynasty. The woman seemed to be looking at a different kind that could not be tolerated.

Even Luo Xia's eyes gradually became cold, as if they were strangers in the distance.

"Raging fire..." Baili Jiuge couldn't help muttering.

By now, she has seen clearly.Thinking about it, the mastermind behind the scenes must have seen Lie Huo and Luo Qixiu switch horses, so he had to come up with another impromptu plan, ordering the groom to throw the golden needles and medicines in the stable, blaming Lie Huo for deliberately murdering Luo Qixiu!

Baili Jiuge's slender body trembled violently, like a red leaf standing firm on a branch in the strong wind.

She knew too well what it was like to be framed and unable to explain.In the past when she was framed by Baili Ziru and Yin Haochen broke off her engagement, why not the situation now?
But I have always been free and easy, and I was too lazy to care about the common people and the world at that time, but Agni is different!Agni, he is not such a tempered person as himself!
Can't help looking at Yin Liehuo, at this moment, Baili Jiuge was shocked by the look on her face.Unexpectedly, Yin Liehuo was so calm, looking around withered like a flower, but his body was filled with an aura as cold as a Shura.

Yin Liehuo murmured quietly: "Did anyone see that this groom poisoned the horses... He said that he was ordered by my queen to poison himself, so everyone should believe him, but not me..."

Having said that, everyone hesitated one after another.After all, one of these two is the imperial daughter and the other is the groom. If it is true that the five imperial daughters are accused of crimes based on the words of a groom, this... really cannot be justified.

Yin Liehuo snorted coldly, and groaned contemptuously: "Besides, the groom just said that he dipped the medicinal powder on the golden needle and stuck it into the horse's body... This princess thinks that if this is the case, it would have happened as early as Before the race, the stables were already in chaos. Will a horse that has been pricked by so many needles be led out to compete obediently without saying a word..."

This... everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.It seems that this is the case.

Seeing Yin Liehuo's words, turning the unfavorable situation around, Baili Jiuge's beating heart finally relaxed a little.

She looked at the coldness in Yin Lie's eyes, then looked at Mo Li's gentle expression like water, clenched her fist, then took Mo Li's hand, and squeezed his big hand tightly under the sleeve.

Smiling reproachfully at him: Mo Li, Lie Huo really has learned some of your true teachings. The posture at this moment is really similar to when you were interrogating the arson case of Mingzhe Temple.

The surroundings were filled with eerie silence, and the groom was panting with difficulty, out of breath, which contrasted with Yin Liehuo's vacant smile, which was as cold as a snowfield in the twelfth lunar month, with thousands of people gone.

"Empress." She softened her voice, and elaborated elegantly and solemnly: "Before the competition, the stables were very quiet, so I thought that the person who poisoned must not have poisoned by means of golden needles, but by feeding them. The horses swallowed the poison without anyone noticing. In addition..."

She lightly pointed to the dead crazy horse, "The flower sign on the horse's head is not the name of the third sister, but the name of the son. In other words, this horse should have been It was assigned to Erchen... But Erchen's servant didn't pay attention when he was leading the horse, and he took the wrong horse, which saved Erchen, but made Third Sister..."

Sighing regretfully, he said, "Empress Mother, if it is true that the minister instructs the groom to poison the horses, then as long as the horse is given to the third sister, it will be fine, and there is no need to give it to your own horse, and let the waiter make mistakes." Pulling, doing so will only be superfluous...so..."

Immediately, his cold gaze swept over and landed on the groom.

Yin Liehuo smiled coldly, and murmured sullenly: "So, what you said is all lies... You think you can put the blame on this princess, but you are just a clown who jumps on the bridge. Come to think of it, you are a dead man, do your best!" The consciousness of mortal death... But you can know that even a wise man will make a mistake if he thinks about it, let alone a sinister and vicious person like you?"

The voice fell, and the surrounding was dead.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, they were speechless at the moment, and all of them looked at the groom in the same way they looked at Yin Liehuo before.

And this kind of gaze seemed to slow down the last of the groom's mental strength by an inch, and his whole face lost all color, and his lips twitched violently.

But at this time, someone in the crowd said in an indifferent way: "The fifth emperor's words are indeed very reasonable, but those gold needles make the fifth emperor's suspicions still impossible. After all, the fifth emperor's archery skills are so good, it must be true." Let’s also master the art of flying needles to perfection.”

The man's words caused a low commotion.

Baili Jiuge was startled.Strange, how did the people of Heluo know that Agni used flying needles?
Thinking about it again, maybe it was spread by other spies in the courtyard when Lie Huo killed chickens and monkeys in the past.Even though those details have been cleaned up now, this matter has finally been exposed.

Seeing that Yin Liehuo squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about how to answer, he didn't speak for a while.Baili Jiuge's heart tightened involuntarily, Li Huo, you must hold on...

But it was Mo Li who spoke first.

It was still neither salty nor salty, warm as water, elegant like a quiet shadow, and asked the man just now: "How do you know that the needles you found are hidden weapons, not golden needles that imperial physicians must have? "

"This..." the man concluded.

Mo Li said: "I feel that compared to the fifth emperor's daughter, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital know how to control the amount of medicine. If an imperial physician who is well versed in acupuncture and moxibustion poisons the horses, then even if it is acupuncture If you stab the horse, the horse will not feel pain, it will be very quiet."

After saying that, seeing that everyone was speechless, but those imperial physicians collectively turned pale, Mo Li smiled lightly, and said: "I don't mean to doubt the imperial physicians, but I just want to tell everyone present, golden needles are fine. Regardless of the poison, none of them can fully explain that the prisoner is the fifth emperor's daughter. On the contrary, there are many doubts and loopholes, which are very likely to be framed."

At the end of the speech, Mo Li knew that he should not say any more, so he cupped his hands, smiled warmly and thoughtfully, took Baili Jiuge's little hand into his palm again, and gently rubbed her palm, conveying a sense of peace of mind. Feel.

Yin Liehuo hid the grateful gaze in his eyes, did not look at Mo Li, took his words, and continued: "Mother, my son thinks that the reason why this matter is full of doubts is because it was done in a hurry. ..."

While speaking, he searched the crowd for people with changing expressions, but everyone's expressions were very natural, and the acting skills of the mastermind behind the scenes were extremely high.

Whispering: "Originally, someone poisoned Erchen's horse and wanted to kill him, but by accident, the third sister rode Erchen's horse... The criminal didn't give up, so he thought of setting the blame on the spur of the moment. ...Time is short, and this place is full of eyes and ears, so it will naturally be full of loopholes..."

Luo Xia remained silent, her awe-inspiring phoenix eyes narrowed into two narrow lines at this moment.The various colors densely covered in it are too thick and dark, and too difficult to distinguish.

Baili Jiuge looked at Luo Xia like this, and suddenly a chill came into his heart.Suddenly, he felt that Luo Xia's eyes were too unpredictable. For the first time, he felt what a king's heart was like the sea in Luo Xia's body.

The ominous premonition made Baili Jiuge's heart flutter... Oh no, why did she suddenly feel that Luo Xia began to suspect Lie Huo?
Just when Baili Jiuge was suffering from extreme shortness of breath, he suddenly saw Yin Liehuo knelt down on the ground slowly, bowed his head, his wavy curly hair covered his shoulders, half covering his heartbroken and painful face.

"Emperor Mother, even though my son-in-law got his life back by mistake, Third Sister, it was because of my son..." As she spoke, her voice was a bit sticky.

Two lines of tears fell down the corner of Yin Liehuo's eyes, she looked at Luo Xia in tears, and said with self-reproach: "My son has committed a serious crime, I would like to stay in the courtyard and pray for my third sister..."

Hearing this, Baili Jiuge's face changed, because he was anxious, he didn't care about 21, and sneered on the spot: "Linghuo, you were clearly framed by someone, and you didn't do anything wrong, why do you ground yourself?" gone?"

Everyone didn't expect Baili Jiuge to interrupt suddenly, and now their faces changed, and they all looked at her.

She took a look at Mo Li, saw that he was still smiling cleanly, and knew that he was sure of her actions, so she said again: "Whoever is guilty will make atonement, isn't the fifth princess also a victim? Is it because she escaped a Do you have to bear the punishment of other people being hurt? If so, what is the reason for that day?!"

The small chest rose and fell violently, Baili Jiuge glared, and suddenly turned his face to look at Yin Liehuo, but from the eyes of the devil, he saw a faint confidence.

This surprised Baili Jiuge.Wait... Didn't I spoil Agni's next arrangement?But Mo Li didn't stop her...

I saw Yin Liehuo raised his hand to wipe away his tears, choking with self-reproach: "Third sister is dedicated to Buddha, she shouldn't have suffered this catastrophe, it's all because of me..." He said to Luo Xia: "Until the third sister recovers, Until I personally forgive my son, I will never step out of the Xiangyuan... I believe that my repentance and prayers will reach the third sister's heart..."

Baili Jiuge wanted to say something, but her little hand was suddenly clenched, and she was startled, feeling Mo Li's cold fingertips writing and drawing on her palm.

He wrote the eight words "When you retreat, you retreat, when you advance, you advance" to her.

Although Baili Jiuge didn't quite understand, she trusted Mo Li wholeheartedly, so she nodded and said nothing more.

Luoxia was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, the voice could not be heard, as if it came from a distant city tower: "Xiangsi, your request is granted. From now on, you will be grounded in the courtyard During the period, you are not allowed to participate in government affairs, and when Qixiu recovers, I will let her visit you."

"Thank you for your mother's permission. For many days to come, I will not be able to pay my respects to my mother. Rong Erchen, who is wearing a sinful body, bows to my mother and asks my mother to take good care of her jade body."

Luo Xia didn't say anything, watching Yin Liehuo kowtow three times at her feet, the unfathomable light in the depths of her phoenix eyes gradually dissipated, and turned into a majestic look again.

There was an unpleasant smile on the corner of her lips... Lovesickness, please pray for Qixiu's blessings, because I saw through my desire to cultivate and guard against her, so I temporarily avoided the limelight to relieve my feelings for her. Is she defensive?
This child is too shrewd, even worse than her biological father Liu Huangfu, she does not harm others maliciously, but knows how to defend against others; The material, even the neon clothes, is not as good as her...

Seeing that Yin Liehuo had bowed three times, Luo Xia said: "The truth of the matter is complicated and confusing, Prime Minister Jin, you send someone to investigate and report it to me. Come here first today, let's go, I'm going to visit Qixiu."

At this moment, after Yin Liehuo bowed three times, he wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and watched Luo Xia and the others go away.

She got up angrily, with a little tiredness in her cold eyes.

Baili Jiuge saw it all, subconsciously supported Yin Liehuo, and whispered: "Do you really want to be grounded? I always feel that if you ground your feet, doesn't it mean that our previous efforts are in vain?"

Yin Liehuo lowered his voice to the lowest level, and whispered softly: "Mother is suspicious, if I don't retreat, she will impose restrictions on me on the grounds that I am suspected of murdering the third sister... Proposing a grounding, on the contrary, can take the initiative. It will be controlled by the queen mother... Moreover, it also makes people see the princesses of Heluo, the sisters love each other..."

Baili Jiuge frowned, always feeling that Yin Liehuo's last sentence had a strange taste.She knew that Lie Huo was just acting on occasion, but Lie Huo's nature was not bad, so she must have felt a little guilty towards Luo Qixiu.

It's just... Sisterhood is deep... Why do I always feel that when I think about these four words, some incredible thoughts will pop up in my mind?

Baili Jiuge was startled by such a thought, his eyes widened for a moment, and what he saw was the back of the eldest daughter Luo Nishang and her biological father Chen Huangfu who had left together.

Why did I suddenly feel that those two people were behind this incident?

Although it was just a feeling that had arisen for no reason, after thinking about it, Baili Jiuge felt that it was not impossible.

"Jiu Ge, don't think about it anymore." The warm voice pierced into his ears gently, and Mo Li could always sense Baili Jiu Ge's thoughts at the first time, and gently cared for her and gave her a sense of peace of mind.

Baili Jiuge smiled innocently: "Mo Li, I think, the two of them..." He glanced at the two of them, "I always think they are suspicious."

"I know." Mo Li said softly: "Don't think about it yet, relax, it's not suitable to talk about this here, we'll talk about it when we go back."

Too.Baili Jiuge nodded and agreed.

After that, several people dispersed with the crowd at the racetrack.

Because of Yin Lie's confinement, Baili Jiuge and Mo Li didn't go to visit, and went directly to the post palace in a chariot.

On the way back, Mo Li suddenly sensed Yuying's breath, so he summoned Yuying.

A black shadow rushed into the carriage like lightning, and sat opposite Baili Jiuge and Mo Li.Yuying looked like a stone carving. He said: "A rebellion broke out in the eastern part of the Heluo Kingdom. The news has just reached Luoyi. Those rebels are all reckless bandits in the eastern mountainous area. Subordinates dare not speculate."

Baili Jiuge felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, and now he was still worried about today's conspiracy, so he was a little absent-minded.

Ke Moli's words woke her up.

"Since it's reckless and reckless, it can't be a great climate, but this is an excellent opportunity..."

"Ah?" Baili Jiuge looked at Mo Li in a daze, and asked in surprise, "Mo Li, what are you talking about, what opportunity?"

He smiled softly and said: "When you enter, you will enter. This is the opportunity to 'enter'. During the period when the fire girl is grounded, let's start and deal with this matter."
