Xiao mubai's heart suddenly sank, and there was a cold sharp pain, which went up along his spine and finally stabbed into his brain.
A panic that was more frightening than the emperor poisoned him made his breathing suddenly rapid.
"Why did you suddenly mention this?"
Xiao Yun, who was kneeling beside him and wrapped crushed tea in pure cotton paper, was grinding tea, and his hand was slightly undetectable.
Princess Li put the broken pear flower beside her cheek, and suddenly leaned forward, approached Xiao mubai and said, "there's a question in our palace. I'm very curious. The little Marquis has been sent to the mountain to recuperate since childhood. Why did she make such a good relationship with you after going down the mountain?"
Xiao mubai only felt sharp stabbing pain in his brain. He glanced at the small cloud grinding tea inadvertently: "the king and he are like old friends at first sight. Presumably, the empress has never had close friends, so he can't understand."
"At first sight?" Princess Li's lips burst into a meaningful smile.
She put her hands on the stone table and leaned closer. She whispered in his ear, "if you two are so friendly, what should he do if he knows that you are his mother murderer?"
Xiao mubai's eyes suddenly darkened. The clouds in the distance and the flowers and trees near him all blurred into a piece in an instant and could no longer see clearly.
The faint aroma of pear flowers reminded him of the words that Princess Li had just leaned forward and said carelessly in his ear.
"You're talking nonsense!" Xiao mubai stretched out his hand and pinched Princess Li's neck. Surprised, Xiao Yun lost his voice and screamed. He hurriedly got up and tried to open Xiao mubai: "Lord, let go."
Xiao Yun's voice was clear and gentle with tension. Although he heard a roar in his ears and only heard the sound of blood boiling, her voice lingered in his ears, which made Xiao mubai suddenly wake up and let go of his hand.
But his hand was still hanging in the air, maintaining the slightly curved state of his five fingers when pinching Princess Li's neck. Because of extreme force, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out.
Xiao Yun held his wrist, tightened it with force and pushed it back: "Lord, you'd better sit down and talk to your mother."
Xiao mubai saw that her eyes were clear and clear, and did not bring any doubt because of Princess Li's words. The temperature from her wrist and the strength that had just tightened made him gradually calm down.
Xiao mubai clenched his hands into fists, hung on both sides, looked away from Xiaoyun's face, stared at concubine Li for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Lansheng died to save the emperor. What does it have to do with the king?"
Concubine Li raised her head and stroked the red mark on her neck that had just been pinched out by him. After listening to his gnashing of teeth, she didn't look angry. She drew her knife at the scattered people and pointed to the people in the lingmen of the servants in the mansion, waving her hand to them to take it back.
As she looked around, her eyebrows and eyes were light, and she glanced at Xiao mubai more and more, and her tone returned to her usual Charm: "Your Highness the king of ink said very well, how did the Emperor... Get poisoned?"
Xiao mubai only felt a bone chilling cold than the ice insect in his body before. He slowly climbed up from the soles of his feet and poured it all the way to the top of his head. The terrible feeling of ice and cool made his body stiff and unable to move.
Seeing that he was silent, concubine Li trembled with laughter: "Your Highness King Mo is so smart. Naturally, you guessed it. Otherwise, you think why the Emperor didn't investigate the poisoning in that year, but pretended to cover it up. Because in the final analysis... It's you. If the emperor caught you personally, how should you deal with it?"
Xiao mubai didn't want to believe what she said, but he couldn't refute her words. He seemed to peep into an unimaginable dark abyss.
And he was standing on the top of the abyss, overlooking the cold darkness below that was enough to devour him mercilessly.
A cup of hot tea was pushed in front of him. It was not until the hand that sent the cup took it back that Xiao mubai said hoarsely, "I was a four-year-old child. How did I poison my father?"
Princess Li soothed the uneven breath after her charming smile, took a sip of tea and then cleared her throat: "yes, the prince is only four years old and has a deep love with the emperor's father and son. How did she poison the emperor?"
The only hope left on Xiao Mu's white face gradually melted like spring snow, leaving only despair and pain that bit by bit ate away all the colors on his face and left a piece of pale.
His breath was very heavy. His words seemed to have exhausted all his strength before he squeezed out his mouth word by word: "where is he? The king asked him to admit it himself."
Xiao mubai's expression at the moment was like a beast on the verge of death, spreading the breath of dying together, and freezing Princess Li's eyes: "you let the king enter the city, but you don't kill the king. Don't you just hope that the king will uncover these bloody truths with his own hands."
Princess Li saw his body trembling and the green veins on his temples beating suddenly. Almost even she could feel the feeling of blood flowing in his body in despair.
She was very pleased to appreciate his gaffe at this time, with a little regret in her words: "before you left Beijing, the palace also took great pains to let you meet. You know, he didn't want to see you."
Xiao mubai's pupils suddenly shrunk. He got up abruptly and shouted at the end of the corridor: "Zhong Guo, what are you hiding? What are you hiding? Why did you fake death in those years? You come out to the king and you owe him an explanation! You..."
His angry words suddenly stopped, and Xiao Yun, who ordered tea, was surprised to hear Zhong Guo's name.
Zhong Guo... Isn't it the attendant who took Xiao mubai seriously injured by the lake seven years ago?
She looked up at Xiao mubai and followed his eyes to the end of the rockery and flowing water corridor.
Where? The figure of a masked man appeared.
Xiao mubai saw the person he most wanted to see, and he was also the person he was most afraid to see.
The masked man appeared as he wanted, but at this moment, he was at a loss. He only felt that the masked man moved forward step by step and came mercilessly until he was completely destroyed.
Concubine Li turns her head and looks at the masked man coming. Xiaoyun quickly takes the opportunity to help the shaky Xiao mubai.
It's just the power to open at one touch. It's fast as if she had never helped it, but the warmth of the palm reminds Xiao mubai of the edge of the cliff. At the beginning of summer, he said to him, "no matter where it is, I'll be by your side."
He picked up the tea and drank it. The tea was slightly astringent and stuck in his throat.
Princess Li looked at the masked man who came forward and sneered: "he has not been your master for a long time. Why? Can't help but listen to him when he calls your name?"
The masked man looked directly at Li Fei: "you said so much, just trying to force me out."
Princess Li put her wrist on his shoulder and breathed out in his ear: "this will wrong the palace. She has already admonished the Lord. The truth is unbearable. He is determined to know, and the palace is helpless."
