Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 74: Charming Soul (14)
"Oh?" Emperor Zhaoyi obviously didn't believe it: "I heard that the prince of Zhou was assassinated by unknown people many times, but he was always safe and sound. You said, if he is really a terminally ill person, how can he escape every time? where?"

"Why not?" Baili Jiuge sneered: "Hasn't Your Majesty heard a word? Calling auspicious people to have their own appearance."

"Auspicious people have their own celestial features?" Emperor Zhaoyi laughed loudly, as if he heard some joke.

"Auspicious people will cough so that they can't live for three years? Will Jiren be sent to my big business as a hostage by his own father? Baili Jiuge, you know how to marry and obey your husband!"

"Your Majesty, I just told you everything I know. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I can't help it. Besides, since Your Majesty thinks that Mo Li won't live for three years, why should he be so afraid of him? Isn't it unreasonable to be afraid of the proton of a dependent country?"

Emperor Zhaoyi froze for a moment, and was a bit speechless. When he saw the trembling banqin out of the corner of his eye, the corners of his lips curled up with evil intentions.

He threatened: "Baili Jiuge, today you killed five dogs, and I closed the cage door. But if you don't know what to do again, in the future, I will open the cage door wide and let fifty dogs go. You can Think about the consequences!"

The cold came madly, Baili Jiuge gasped with difficulty, every time he took a breath, it seemed as if the cold air was sucked into the internal organs, and all of them were frozen.

She had no choice but to believe in Emperor Zhaoyi's methods, as he said, even if she had somersaults, she would not be able to get over his Five Fingers Mountain.

However, if she was to be crushed under Wuzhi Mountain and let him order her to betray Mo Li...she would not do it, she would never compromise!

What to do, what to do.

Almost on the verge of suffocation, there were suddenly hurried footsteps.

I saw a little eunuch rushing in, knelt in front of Emperor Zhaoyi and said softly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, Prince Chen, please see me."

"Oh? What's the matter with him?"

"Returning to the emperor, Prince Chen said that the southwestern border has not been very stable recently, and those wizards and monsters in Xiang Kingdom are ready to move, and there is a tendency to invade. His Royal Highness Prince Chen has come to discuss this matter with the Holy One."

Emperor Zhaoyi didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he heard the word "invasion", he still decided to ask about it, so he kissed Baili Qingping's face again, got up and walked out of the hall .

"The concubine sends the emperor respectfully." Baili Qingping's soft and boneless voice wafted sweetly and greasy.

Emperor Zhaoyi smiled at her, and then, a sinister light fell on Baili Jiuge's face, and he curled his lips suddenly.

"Come here first this time. Jiuge, go back and think carefully about what you should do. If you miss your foot, wouldn't it be in vain to ruin your life for the next few decades?"

After all, he walked away, and the breeze blown by the dragon robe while he was walking blew on Baili Jiuge's face, cutting the wound like a cold blade, and then freezing the blood and flesh into ice.

"Sister Nine Songs."

Baili Qingping, with her big belly propped up, came with lotus steps, smiling coquettishly.

"It's rare that sister Jiuge is so lucky this time, and was rescued inadvertently by His Royal Highness Chen Wang. However, it is very difficult for the same good thing to happen again. My sister advises you to not be emotional."

Sentimental?

Baili Jiuge's heart trembled.

Could it be that Baili Qingping saw her feelings for Mo Li?
"Hehe..." Baili Qingping let out a series of laughs, teasing: "My sister is just making a joke, why do you have such a weird expression? In fact, how could my sister not know that you are just being upright and unwilling to cooperate It's just the emperor, how could it be because he likes the medicine pot? Such a prisoner is nothing more than the emperor's dog. If the emperor wants him to die, he will immediately become like them." She pointed to five people on the ground. The dead body of the dog.

"Sister Jiu Ge is a prisoner that everyone in the court looks down on. My sister is really joking with you."

At this moment, Baili Jiuge's clenched fists made a sound, and the wide cloud sleeves covered the whitish joints and the bulging veins on the back of his hands.

She tried her best to suppress her angry expression and lowered her head to prevent Baili Qingping from seeing her excitement.

Baili Qingping didn't care too much, but turned her target to Baili Hongxiao.The eyes of the two met, and a sharp resentment flashed in Baili Qingping's eyes.

She suddenly shouted coquettishly: "Bitch!"

Baili Hongxiao was on the verge of tears, "You...how could you be like this...you clearly know that I am also a victim, but you actually..."

"What happened? Sister, tell me, what did I do to you? Tell me!"

Baili Hongxiao trembled, the color on her face faded, she bit her lip and swallowed.

All these were seen by Baili Jiuge, and she felt an inexplicable coldness on the back of her neck, as if something terrible had happened before she knew it, but she, bit by bit, She was involved in it, as if she had fallen into a quagmire, but now, the quagmire is getting bigger and bigger, and she is getting deeper and deeper...

Suddenly there was a shout from outside the hall——

"The Empress is here!"

The people in the hall were stunned for a moment. The servants and guards had to kneel down before removing the cage and the dog's corpse.

The smell of galangal wafted to the nostrils as the Empress Yuan entered the palace. She was dressed in a golden ruoluan costume, which outlined a graceful and luxurious atmosphere, and the brilliance in her eyes was majestic and majestic.

However, before everyone could say "My Empress is a thousand years old", Empress Yuan forced her in front of Baili Qingping, raised her hand high, and slapped her hard!

Baili Qingping was beaten and fell to the ground, she raised her head under everyone's amazed eyes, tears of grievance dripped down, and said sadly: "Empress, what did this concubine do wrong? Hit the concubine. The concubine...the concubine is still pregnant with the dragon seed, how can you do it, empress..."

"presumptuous!"

Empress Yuan's awe-inspiring shout shocked all the servants of Yihua Palace into a ball of trembling, knelt on the ground without even daring to lift their heads.

"You witch, you don't know how to assist His Majesty, but you are only doing things to seduce the Lord! I heard that His Majesty locked the young lady and wife of the General of Fengguo's mansion in a cage and released dogs. You even persuaded me to do such a cruel thing. Don’t persuade me, why not enjoy and enjoy with His Majesty?! Your Majesty is a young and promising king, but now he is so bloodthirsty, do you want to see me become a tyrant?!”

"Concubine...there is no concubine..." Baili Qingping cried so much that she felt aggrieved.

"Come here!" Empress Yuan shouted coldly.

"Immediately throw this witch into limbo without delay! If your majesty asks, just say it's my palace's order!"

Baili Qingping seemed to be so frightened that her legs were limp, she lay on the ground and flapped her sleeves, throwing away all the people who approached.

While being playful, she cried aggrievedly: "The empress is wronged, the concubine is just a woman, how can she interfere with your majesty's actions! The concubine... the concubine is also the imperial concubine Ping of this harem after all, you can't treat me so ruthlessly, my concubine. Concubine!"

"Okay, no need to say more!"

Empress Yuan flicked her sleeves fiercely.

"Baili Qingping, go to the cold palace and face the wall to think about your mistakes! If you can still distinguish right from wrong, this palace will release you. If you still don't know how to repent, then don't blame this palace for imprisoning you until the end of your life!"

After saying that, he left, and acted vigorously and resolutely.

But when he passed by Baili Jiuge, he stopped, turned his head to look, and smiled gently.

"Come to Chonghua Hall in my palace. I will have someone bandage your wound."

Baili Jiuge felt a little warmth in his heart, and he no longer felt suffocated by the cold.

She clasped her fists together and said with a smile: "Thank you Empress Empress for caring, this injury is not serious, I will take care of it myself when I go back, I just want to trouble Empress Empress to send my eldest sister and second mother back."

"It's natural. When I came here just now, someone has arranged for your carriage, and someone will take you back after you leave the palace."

Baili Jiuge smiled moved: "Empress Empress... Thank you!"

When I returned to Shizi Mansion, it was already dusk.

The blue and red color of the sky is like the piece of paper written by Baili Jiuge, "I am alone at dusk", with large areas of cinnabar and crow green on each side.

After more than half an hour of ups and downs, the chill lingering in Baili Jiuge's heart has gradually been melted by the fire-like dusk, but he sat alone quietly along the way, and his mind was still constantly replaying the scene in Yihua Palace. Horror scene.The shoulder injury was still burning hot, as if reminding her to always weigh every step she took.

There is no contradiction in her mind.

Just can't do anything!

I don't know what to do to protect my family and Mo Li at the same time!

The feeling of smallness and powerlessness raged in her body all the time, making her look haggard and exhausted. In her eyes, the clear waves that were originally free and vast were also stained with depression.

She didn't know how she got out of the carriage, it seemed that when she realized that she was already standing in front of the Prince's Mansion, the carriage had already gone without a trace.

Looking up at the plaque without expression, Baili Jiuge raised his hand stiffly like a puppet, wanting to knock on the door...

The door was ajar, and opened as soon as it was pushed.

Baili Jiuge's body was still leaning forward, his center of gravity was out of balance, and he fell from the threshold, almost falling to the ground.

He took a few steps forward and managed to stand firm, only to realize that Mo Li, Yu Ying, Yu Feng, and Yu Lei were all standing here.

When Yu Ying and the other three saw her, Qi Qi looked surprised, as if she couldn't believe that the woman in front of her, who had lost her bright smile and lost her mind, was her.Her shoulders were bloody and bloody, the broken fabric was mixed with the wound, revealing a shoulder blade, which was still bleeding, staining half of her clothes black and red.

There was a slight gasp, as if it escaped from Mo Li's mouth, and was faintly buried by the sound of the wind.At this moment, Baili Jiuge saw the shock in Mo Li's eyes in astonishment, even though it was a flash in the pan, it was the most obvious emotion she had seen so far, and he showed her for her.

"Jiu Ge..." He stepped forward, his steps were still unsteady, and his whole body was trembling.

However, the three of Yuying withdrew a few feet away, and the surprise in their eyes disappeared.The three of them lowered their sleeves and silently hid their right hands behind their backs.

Mo Li approached slowly, calling her name softly and with pity, and another call, just like the bell and chime ringing around the beam for three days, echoing in Baili Jiuge's ears, lingering Absolutely.

She only felt a feeling of extreme sourness and powerlessness suddenly gushing out of her heart, like a flood bursting a big hole in her heart, flowing uncontrollably through thousands of veins.The broken heart was pouring the wind, it was so cold, so cruel, and the heavy pressure was continuously pressed on Baili Jiuge's heart.There seemed to be blood in front of her eyes, and the person who was walking towards her was gradually covered by the blood, and the white-clothed crane cloak turned into a dazzling red, countless epiphyllum shattered into a snow, fell into a pool of blood, and fell into mud ...

Do not!
not like this!

She was suddenly terrified!
He was afraid that because of her, Mo Li would end up in an end that she dared not imagine, and even leave her forever.

She clearly said that with her around, no one would hurt him.

But...but...

It turned out that he was powerless at all.

Finally, she yelled out unbearably.

"Mo Li!" She rushed straight up, crashed into Mo Li's arms, and hugged him tightly.

"Nine Songs?" Mo Li's body trembled slightly.

The eyes of the three of Yuying sank at the same time, staring at the scene coldly, the hand hidden behind them was slowly moving out...

"Mo Li..." Baili Jiuge hugged him tightly, he didn't know what to say at this moment, he just wanted to hug this person tightly, afraid of him getting hurt, afraid of him disappearing, and even more afraid of his own body Powerlessness and insignificance will ruin him forever.

But the tighter you hug, the more frightened you become.The more frightened she was, the more she used all her strength on her arms, she didn't even know how much strength she used.

Mo Li raised his hand, and slowly stroked her head, gently slid down her black hair, and finally stopped on her uninjured right shoulder, patting gently as if soothing.Sensing her out-of-control emotions, he wrapped his other hand around her waist, hugged the thin body inch by inch, and wrapped it in his arms.

Coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid, go into the room first, I will help you treat the wound, if you have anything to say, I will talk about it later."

"No!" She refused to let go of even a sliver of strength, "It doesn't matter if you are injured, I am often injured in the arena, it is much worse than this! I just, I just because—"

Hesitant to speak.

She didn't know why she stopped talking suddenly, she always had something to say, now why...why...

Does it mean that as long as Mo Li is involved, she will get farther and farther away from her free and easy self?She should have shouldered the burden of today's affairs, even if she told Mo Li, it would only increase the humiliation he suffered.However, she, who has always been fearless, is really afraid. The lives of Hongxiao and Erniang are still in the hands of Emperor Zhaoyi, and she is afraid that she will not be able to bear it...

In a trance, the violently trembling body was slowly pushed away.

Mo Li's voice lingered in Baili Jiuge's ears, gentle and deep, as if coaxing her to fall into the soft red. "Don't be afraid. If there is something in your heart that you really can't bear, just say it. It doesn't matter if it's a problem or a problem. With me here, we can find a solution together."

"Mo Li..."

Baili Jiuge raised his eyes and looked into those deep eyes. Those eyes were like clear springs in a secluded forest, dripping with warm and pity ripples. The thick eyes in the lightness seemed to be able to calm the mind.

She felt the panic in her heart subside, raised her eyes, and stared at Mo Li foolishly.

"Mo Li, I..." I finally made up my mind: "I have something to tell you."

"Don't worry, just take your time." He stroked the hand on her shoulder gently along her hair, and slowly combed the long hair like a waterfall.

The soft and warm feeling dispelled the coldness in Baili Jiuge's heart. She regained her composure and tried her best to finish speaking in one breath.

"Actually, the reason why Emperor Zhaoyi chose me to congratulate you is because he thought that among the girls in the official family, I could control me, and my father didn't care about my life at all, so Emperor Zhaoyi threatened me with the lives of my eldest sister and second mother." Me. Just now he announced me into the palace to punish me for not reporting your actions to him after I married you. He even put my eldest sister and second mother in a cage and let dogs bite them! I blocked it, but my shoulder I was bitten. Fortunately, Emperor Zhaoyi let me go temporarily, but I know that things will only get more and more difficult in the future!"

Mo Li remained silent, his half-closed eyes were covered by shadows under the eyelashes, only his slender hands were still stroking Baili Jiuge's hair, and his movements never froze.

"Mo Li, do you know? Emperor Zhaoyi suspects you a lot. He doesn't seem to believe that you are terminally ill. He always thinks that you will do something in secret. But in my opinion, although I don't know what you sometimes do when you leave the palace, But I believe that you are a good person, and you will never do anything harmful to nature!"

Taking a deep breath, she blinked her bright eyes, and a sincere smile appeared on her lips.

"Mo Li, let's take a step back. Even if you do something that is not good for the big merchants, so what in my opinion? In the battle between the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the merchant army burned, killed and looted you, everyone knows! Even if I As a member of the Shang Kingdom, even today, I still don’t agree with the actions of the Shang army. As the son of the Zhou Kingdom, you have already fallen to this level. Even if you are secretly planning something, there is nothing wrong with it! I believe you , believe in you, and believe in the right and wrong in your heart. So, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side, definitely!"

Having said so much at once, I almost poured out all the words in my heart, and my heart is much more relaxed.A bright smile floated on his face, reflecting the fiery red sunset, it was still so brilliant and eye-catching, which made people's minds shake.

But as soon as my heart relaxed, I felt the wound on my shoulder hurt badly.Baili Jiuge frowned, let out a painful moan, and said with a blushing smile: "I suddenly felt that I should listen to you just now, and it would be better to bandage the wound first. Look at my memory, as soon as I speak, I want to say It was transparent and white, and as a result, I always forgot the pain of the wound.”

She gently slipped out of Mo Li's arms, and walked towards the bedroom, "I'm sorry, Mo Li, I'll get some ointment for myself first. Don't follow me if you're all red, wait for me in the yard Bar."

She walked fast, like a meteor in striding strides on weekdays, and her whole body seemed to turn around from the slump just now, and became flamboyant again.The cloud sleeves fluttered, the corners of the skirt curled up, and the red figure was quickly hidden among the flowers and trees.

A clear and deep color covered the tenderness in Mo Li's eyes at this moment. He turned around and looked at the three of Yuying, his expression was as pale as a pool of green water.

"Yuying, Yufeng, Yulei, you all saw it?"

The three of them exchanged glances, and silently retracted the sword hidden under their sleeves. Just now, if the imperial concubine made any move to hurt His Royal Highness, they would draw their swords at the same time.

"You say, Jiuge, should I protect him?"

The three of them also hesitated, looked at each other for a while, but didn't answer.

Mo Li said with a half-smile, "Jiu Ge is simple-minded and straightforward. I know this. You will definitely tell me that the simpler things are, the more dangerous they are. In fact, until yesterday, I still cherished her. I'm wary, but today..." Shen Yi sank, his eyes turned to Yuying, "You followed Jiu Ge to the palace, what did you see, you didn't have time to say it just now, let's talk about it now."

Yuying then told what happened in the palace in detail.Following his narration, both Yufeng and Yulei seemed to change their expressions, becoming more and more hesitant.Only Mo Li, who listened clearly and lightly, just stood there, motionless like a mountain.

"At that time, my subordinates wanted to see how the Crown Princess would make a decision, but unexpectedly, the King Chen asked for an audience, so the matter was abandoned." Yuying said unwillingly.

Yufeng said coldly: "Perhaps the concubine Shizi was shaken at that moment and decided to serve Emperor Zhaoyi. People from the Shang country are people from the Shang country, so they are not trustworthy!"

Mo Li glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, and sighed meaningfully: "There is no value or not, only willingness and unwillingness..." His pupils moved slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips, "Madam Yao, did you see it?"

Several people looked over and saw Duan Yao coming from behind a tree of tangli, her steps were like floating, and she was slowly approaching in front of them without the slightest sound.

The corner of her mouth raised slightly, "I saw it."

Yufeng hurriedly said: "The three subordinates still can't trust the concubine Shizi. She is always a dangerous factor and should be eliminated without anyone noticing. Your Highness, you must not soften your heart."

"That's right, His Royal Highness, we are hostages in the country of Shang, we must be very careful, and we must not leave anyone with a clue." Yu Lei also said.

Mo Li sighed helplessly: "The three of you are loyal to me, I know. But you know, I never trust people easily, once I do, I believe to the end. Jiu Ge has always been devoted to me, Now, I trust her completely."

"His Royal Highness, don't be deceived!" Yufeng shouted: "This subordinate would rather kill the imperial concubine by mistake than let you be passive and dangerous."
