The Empire and the Kingdom

Guan Xuejing was really obedient, and was about to tie up Lu Chongrong with a rope, but Lu Chongrong was so frightened that he opened his mouth and wanted to yell, but Guan Xuejing pressed the Ya point.Lu Chongrong struggled desperately, but Guan Xuejing was no match for a weak woman, and soon she was tied up firmly.

Guan Xuejing clapped her hands, "I've tied them up, it's up to you next."

Xi Ruzhi raised his eyebrows, and came over to pat Lu Chongrong. Lu Chongrong shook violently, not understanding what Xi Ruzhi was going to do, and kept staring at her.

"Relax, what I want is a confession, just tell what you know obediently." Xi Ruzhi's smile was very healing, Lu Chongrong looked at her face, and gradually stopped shaking.

Guan Xuejing touched the goosebumps on her body, and was already considering whether to go out for a while, always feeling that it would be dangerous to stay in the same room with Xi Ruzhi.

"Senior Sister Xuejing, don't worry, I won't pry into your thoughts." Xi Ruzhi said without turning her head.

Guan Xuejing hurriedly covered her heart, and said she would not spy on it, didn't she know what she was thinking?

Xi Ruzhi completely inherited the questioning skills of his master Yue Yingxi. After a few words, even Guan Xuejing could hear Lu Chongrong's confusion.

Lu Chongrong said for a while that he didn't know what happened back then, for a while that she was the one who poisoned her, and for a while that someone lied to her, and every sentence can be guaranteed to be repeated twice.

Xi Ruzhi put his hand on Lu Chongrong's shoulder, "Your mind is messed up now, but you must know the truth, remember it well, talk it out well, and if you tell it, you will be free."

Guan Xuejing kept her eyes on Lu Chongrong. She knew that Xi Ruzhi was using illusion to make Lu Chongrong tell the truth. She always kept her distance from this kind of relatively mysterious martial arts.

Lu Chongrong was completely silent, his eyes were fixed on Xi Ruzhi without blinking, and after a while, she began to speak eloquently.

Back then, Lu Chongrong was quite favored, otherwise it would be impossible to have the fourth prince.At that time, she and the empress were relatively close. Concubine Xian doted on the harem, and the empress was very magnanimous at first, but when Concubine Xian gave birth to Princess Yongning and became pregnant again, it was rumored in the palace that if Concubine Xian gave birth to a prince, she would be established as the queen. Prince's news.

The queen is not a jealous person, but no one can shake her son's status as the crown prince, so the queen asked Lu Chongrong to poison the concubine Xian.Lu Chongrong didn't dare to disobey the Queen's order, and he didn't dare to kill anyone, so he was in a dilemma.In the end, the queen threatened the lives of the four princes, so Lu Chongrong had no choice but to submit.

This matter went smoothly at first, but Lu Chongrong was soft-hearted after all. After being poisoned, he took advantage of Concubine Xian's coma to feed her the antidote. But when she came out of Zhiqiong Palace in a panic, she was wandering around in the palace. Li Jieyu ran into her, and afterwards the queen asked her to poison Li Jieyu.

She did so, but was discovered by the emperor and thrown into limbo.She knew that the emperor would find out, and it was the empress who told her.This was originally to sacrifice her to help the queen deal with the aftermath.It's just that she didn't expect that her crime was to poison Concubine Xian.It can be seen that in the emperor's heart, a virtuous concubine is important, but Li Jieyu is not.After she entered the cold palace, the queen sent someone to tell her that as long as she was willing to shut up, the fourth prince would be able to grow up in peace.She had no choice. After living in the cold palace for so many years, her mind gradually became unclear, and many things became chaotic.

Lu Chongrong said these things several times, and finally Xi Ruzhi and Guan Xuejing sorted out the whole thing into a smoother timeline.After making sure that Lu Chongrong had told everything he knew, the two looked at each other.

Guan Xuejing swallowed with difficulty, "Junior Sister, it seems that we...found something serious!"

It was originally to help Concubine Xian find out the cause of her illness, but it turned out that Li Jieyu was poisoned.Li Jieyu is Feng Jingsu's biological mother, one can imagine what actions Feng Jingsu will take in the future.

Xi Ruzhi nodded, "Do you want to invite Master Jiang to come over?"

"No, no, no." Guan Xuejing shook her head quickly.Is Jiang Fengmin coming here to suppress the situation or smash it?Jiang Fengmin was much more insane than Feng Jingsu.

The two were untied by Lu Chongrong, and quietly returned to Zhiqiong Palace.The blood silkworm here has prepared medicine for Concubine Xian to take, and at this time several people are waiting for news in Princess Yongning's bedroom.

"Have you asked?" Princess Yongning hurriedly got up when she saw the two of them coming back.

Xi Ruzhi didn't speak, she walked to the side and sat down to drink tea.Guan Xuejing nodded, "I asked. The poison was sent by the queen to Lu Chongrong."

In fact, it is easier to answer the question of Princess Yongning.Concubine Xian has been ill for so many years, everyone has accepted this fact, the blood silkworm has also come, and things are starting to develop in a better direction.What is really difficult is Feng Jingsu. Everyone thought that Li Jieyu died of illness, but now she is suddenly poisoned. I don't know how Feng Jingsu will react.

Princess Yongning frowned, "It really is her." It seems that she has noticed something over the years, but there is no evidence.

"Princess, you'd better not act rashly now, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term." Guan Xuejing was really afraid that Princess Yongning would go directly to Fengde Palace and kill the queen.

Princess Yongning sneered, "I've been waiting for so many years, it's not bad for a few days. Don't worry, I know the seriousness." She is not an impulsive person, and now more important than revenge is that she should take good care of Concubine Xian .If the blood silkworm can get rid of the residual poison in Concubine Xian's body, Concubine Xian will get better, and at this time, she can't do without her even more.

Guan Xuejing heaved a sigh of relief, this princess is fine, so she only has to worry about Shen Hegong.

Everyone waited for a while, and a court lady came to report suddenly, and Concubine Xian began to vomit.Princess Yongning looked at the blood silkworm, and the blood silkworm nodded, "Normal reaction."

Concubine Xian vomited out everything in her stomach.She was sick all year round, and she ate very little at first, but quickly vomited it all up, and she was just retching.

Xue Cang handed the written list to Princess Yongning, "Eat three meals a day according to this prescription, and I will see the situation after three days. Remember, apart from these things, you can only drink plain water."

Princess Yongning quickly accepted it, "Thank you, Master Xuecan."

The blood silkworm laughed, revealing its white teeth, a little scary in the dark night.

Xuecan, Xi Ruzhi and Guan Xuejing left Zhiqiong Palace and returned to Shenhe Palace.Xuecan suddenly pushed Guan Xuejing, Guan Xuejing was so frightened that she almost cried out, and turned her head to look at Xuecan with grievances, "You scared me to death!"

Blood Silkworm leaned over, "What you asked just now is more than what you said, right?"

Guan Xuejing continued to feel wronged, "Why didn't you ask Ruzhi if you wanted to ask this?" Why did you only scare her?

"She doesn't understand the whole thing." Blood Silkworm's reason was pretty good.

Guan Xuejing pursed her lips, she was the most unlucky one, she would be scared to death after working hard, and dare not complain when it was over.

"Lu Chongrong not only poisoned Concubine Xian, but also poisoned Senior Sister Jingsu's biological mother under the order of Empress Empress." Guan Xuejing felt that it was necessary to tell Xue Cang in advance, in case Feng Jingsu got out of control soon, and The blood silkworm is helping, isn't it?

Xue Cang raised his eyebrows, "It's actually a crooked shot."

"Isn't it?" Guan Xuejing cried and ate the melon on her own head, what's the matter?

The three escaped the patrolling people and climbed over the wall into Shenhe Palace.

Xue Ai still didn't wake up, Feng Jingsu guarded her, heard that Xue Can and others had returned, she asked Meng An to guard Xue Ai, she came out to inquire about the situation.

"What happened?" She asked Guan Xuejing.

Guan Xuejing covered her face, "How did you know something happened?"

Feng Jingsu pointed at her face, "It's usually like this when you lose a chess game, it's like the sky is falling."

Blood Silkworm nodded, "It's really obvious."

Guan Xuejing continued to cover her face, she didn't want to talk anymore.

Seeing that Guan Xuejing didn't speak, Xue Cang knew that she was also in trouble.They are all young people here, but she is older, she has seen this kind of thing a lot, and she is used to it.

"Jingsu, pass me your hand."

Feng Jingsu was confused, but she still stretched out her hand.

Xuecan's finger pressed on her pulse, and after a while, Xuecan nodded, "It's okay." She withdrew her hand, "I have something to tell you, the two of them," she pointed at Guan Xuejing and Xi Ru Weaving, "I found out the truth in the cold palace. The poison of the concubine Xian was caused by the empress sending Lu Chongrong."

Feng Jingsu nodded.Although she was a little surprised, she didn't think this incident would make Guan Xuejing show that expression. "Is there something about me?"

Guan Xuejing's eyes widened, how did she guess this?

Xue Can glared at her, thinking that anyone could guess your obvious expression.

"It's related to your biological mother." Xue Cang paused at this point, she wanted to give Feng Jingsu some time to react.

Feng Jingsu's face suddenly became ugly, "My mother was also poisoned to death, right? Who did it? The queen or Lu Chongrong?"

Xuecan pointed at Guan Xuejing, "She already knows, you can tell me."

Guan Xuejing honestly repeated what Lu Chongrong said. "Princess, you have to calm down!"

Feng Jingsu glanced at her, "Do you think I'm not calm?"

Guan Xuejing wanted to nod very much.Feng Jingsu is now like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.This time Xue Ai's incident was instigated by the empress, and Li Jieyu's death was also instigated by the empress. The empress did not take any action on both occasions, but the real culprit behind it was the empress.In this way, if Feng Jingsu could still let the queen go, she would not be a disciple taught by Fei Yejin.

This is an internal matter of Yunguo, and Blood Silkworm does not intend to get involved.After she went to check on Xue Ai's situation, she went to rest with Xi Ruzhi.

After the two left, only Guan Xuejing and Feng Jingsu were left in the room.Guan Xuejing also wanted to leave, but as soon as she took a step, Feng Jingsu stared at her.

"What do you want to ask?" Guan Xuejing knew that she couldn't walk, so she stepped forward and sat opposite Feng Jingsu.

"Are you sure Lu Chongrong is telling the truth and not hiding anything?"

Guan Xuejing spread her hands, "Master Yue's Heart-eating Sutra, the head of the academy believes it."

Feng Jingsu nodded.Of course she didn't doubt Xi Ruzhi's ability, it's just that the matter is too important, she still needs to be more cautious.

"Princess, Princess Yongning knows that after the empress poisoned the concubine Xian, she must take revenge. You still need to discuss this matter. It is easy to take revenge, but it is difficult to deal with the aftermath."

Feng Jingsu patted her on the shoulder, "Even you understand the truth, are you afraid that I don't understand?"

Guan Xuejing was injured, she got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Feng Jingsu, "It's late at night, there is no shortage of your bed here, go rest, you have worked hard tonight."

Guan Xuejing went to rest, but Feng Jingsu couldn't rest.Her mind is a little messy, she needs to sort it out.
