Chapter 18 Lotus Carp

“Hu…hu…”

The breathing of breath echoed in the peach blossom forest, indifferent.

Xu Buling forced the heart-eating pain of the ants in his body, sat on the ground, looking down at Jia Yi, who was still gray:

"Ask you a question and give you some fun."

Jia Yi lay in the peach blossom forest, his eyes staring at the white paper flowers above, and his face was not full of pain. After all, enduring pain is the most basic quality of a dead man. Only those who have no feelings, no thoughts, obey their own words and are not afraid of death are qualified dead mans.

"Who are you?"

"His one is not ordered."

Xu Buling couldn't keep a living mouth and did not conceal his identity.

Jia Yi coughed muffled: "I was well-known. I thought I was just a talented person, but I misunderstood."

Xu Buling didn't talk so much nonsense and said in a deep voice: "In the spring of the second year of Xuanhe, you were in charge of the inner treasury. Have you ever handed over the wolf guards and transported the Dragon Lock Gu to the Tang family in Youzhou?"

Jia Yi was silent, looking at the peach blossoms above, his voice was dull: "It's because of this. In the spring of the second year of Xuanhe, the Zhu family in Youzhou was not subject to the court's control. The Tang family in Youzhou and the Wolf Guard worked together to strangle the Zhu family, which was hard to match the old sword saint Zhu Chou Mountain, and finally used the Dragon Locking Gu."

Xu Buling frowned. Old Xiao found out from the sorcerer You that the Dragon Locking Gu had appeared during the Iron Eagle's deer hunting period, and I'm afraid it was referring to this time.

"Is the Dragon Lock Gu still in the inner treasury?"

"It is unknown if the prince has been poisoned, it will definitely not be placed in the inner treasury. I am afraid that only the current emperor knows whether it is destroyed."

Xu Buling's eyes were slightly cold: "How to detoxify?"

Jia Yi's eyes kept looking at the white flowers above, and he was silent for a long time:

"... The prince should ask the emperor, how can I know, a eunuch..."

The peach forest became quiet, and only a faint breath was left.

Xu Buling looked at Jia Yi's face and suddenly asked:

"How did Queen Cui die?"

Jia Yi's eyelashes trembled and he shook his head: "My heart disease... let's do it. I'm a dead soldier. I should have gone down to accompany the lady. I have lived until now and I have no day to sleep."

Xu Buling raised his gradually purple hands and rubbed his forehead, and waited on the spot for a while.

Jia Yi's bones were broken, and his pain was no less than the Dragon Locking Gu attack. When Xu Buling was about to die, Jia Yiren said nothing before he could speak.

"Give yourself a good birth in the next life."

Xu Buling whispered, and then there was a crisp sound of "Click".

Jia Yi's eyes gradually dissipated and there was no more breath.

After Xu Buling raised his hand and closed Jia Yi's eyes, he started coughing violently. He took out two small bottles from his arms with trembling arms. The pills were poured into his abdomen with strong wine. The sweat quickly soaked his whole body's clothes, and his hands gradually faded away.

The night breeze is slightly cool.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Xu Buling stood up staggeringly, walked to the pavilion to get a broom, cleaned up the paper scraps and a little blood on the ground, and filled in a few footprints that had been stepped on from the ground.

Just now, Xu Buling kept paying attention to the surrounding environment and killed him in an instant. It was not troublesome to recover at this time.

After restoring the Peach Blossom Forest as before, Xu Buling carried Jia Yi's body and came to the Taiye Pool in the north of the harem. He slid silently into the cold and bone-black lake water. He felt the stones at the bottom of the lake and stuffed them into the eunuch's robe until the body could not float, and then he returned to the lakeside. The little blood on his body was almost washed away.

After doing all this, Xu Buling hesitated for a moment. Now that he has confirmed that poison is given by the emperor, the only way to detoxify is probably known. As Jia Yi said, if you want to detoxify, you can only ask the emperor.

But since the emperor took action, how could he help him detoxify for no reason? Even if the matter was made clear, the emperor would only refuse to admit it. He would never spread such a thing that angered the border army and damaged his reputation.

And ask in secret like tonight...

Xu Buling took a breath, and his eyes showed a little powerlessness.

Only when the emperor did not stay in the harem did he have the opportunity to sneak into the harem and kill Jia Yi. If he went to find the emperor, the master who was always by the emperor was not blind. He could even keep the imperial study room in a circle while standing in five steps, and it would be difficult to sneak into it.

When Jia Yi's disappearance is discovered tomorrow, the guards of the palace city will inevitably be alert. Even if the body cannot be found and the reason is not understood, the guards around the emperor will definitely be much tighter.

If you want to talk to the emperor, the best chance is tonight, and it will be difficult to reach the sky in the future.

Xu Buling felt his physical condition and could not fight with the master again. The chance of success was too small, so he had to go back and cultivate for a few days before he could start.

Thinking of this, Xu Buling took a moment of consideration and set off on his way back. The poison on his body clamped his throat. When he was well cultivated, the palace would definitely come to him. As for the difficulty of climbing to the sky? Now it is a desperate situation, and it is better than having no way to go...

------

It was already dark, and only palace lanterns were left in Changle Palace, which was already sparsely populated, and there was no one in the corridors, terraces, pavilions and pavilions.

Xu Buling silently walked through Qianbu Lounge and returned to the Queen Mother's bedroom. He wanted to go directly to the side hall to rest, but in order to prevent someone from checking out the news when he went out just now, he decided to check the situation first.

The Queen Mother lives in a secluded palace and has few people around her because she has no children. There are thousands of buildings in Changle Palace, and women are inevitably afraid of living here. They basically sleep in the houses near the Queen Mother at night.

Xu Buling walked through the garden and listened to the movements one by one. Most of the palace maids were already asleep, and some were on night shifts or couldn't sleep. They whispered to each other, and even encountered a pair of miserable lilies, secretly hiding in the room to "grind the mirror".

Xu Buling was not surprised by this. The palace maid who lived in the imperial city for many years. The lower-level palace maids who had no status and position could only work day after day and could not see any future prospects. As for the animal instincts of men and women, it was even more out of reach. After a long period of sexual suppression, it was common for a "food" to be born, and the empress dowager's bedroom did not even have eunuchs, so she could only relieve her spiritual loneliness in this way.

After Xu Buling inspected the girls' dormitory, he found nothing unusual. When he was about to leave, he saw that the windows of the Queen Mother's bedroom were still lit.

Xu Buling frowned slightly and looked at the sky. It was already two or three in the morning.

Could it be that the Queen Mother is also there...

With some doubt, Xu Buling silently came to the window of the Queen Mother's bedroom, pierced the window paper with his fingers and glanced inside. He was stunned for a moment.

The Queen Mother's boudoir is very different from that of ordinary women. It is luxurious and spacious. There are many bookshelf in the room. There are various objects, glass cups, seven-frame grids, nine-serial chains, etc., which are mostly ingenious objects in the market.

The room was warm and the warmth was very warm. The queen mother in a nightgown, wearing thin pants, sat in front of the table with her collar half open, revealing the two golden carp tattoos inside.

Xu Buling has heard of the reputation of "Lotus Hidden Carp". The woven materials paid tribute to Jiangnan are as thin as cicadas' wings. Two carp are embroidered with embroidered by lotus leaves. When the couple is "exercising", they bring waves, and the koi are like parading in the water, lifelike, making them the most elegant play in the boudoir.

However, whether it is an ordinary carp or a golden carp, it is exclusively provided by the royal family, and it is not necessarily possible to get the favored concubine. It is the first time that Xu Buling has seen him. The empress dowager sits still, so naturally she cannot understand the beauty.

As the saying goes, "A gentleman does not deceive the dark room." Xu Buling is not a gentleman, but he is not a dirty villain. After a glance, he turned his eyes to the table.

There are various tools, steel balls, tweezers, gold skein balls, etc. on the wide table.

There are also spliced ​​pony and golden cranes on it. The Xiao family in Huainan learned a mixed story. The Empress Dowager lived in a secluded palace and had nothing to do. It is not surprising to study these gadgets.

The Queen Mother must have been unable to sleep for a long night. At this time, she was sitting in front of the table, holding a piece of wood in her hand and carving it patiently with a carving knife, focusing on it, and a little smile on her slightly mature cheek. The most beautiful thing is that it is in front of the lamp. This unusual scene is not an exaggeration to describe it as a painting.
