The concubine is poisonous, and the tyrant lifts the couch to meet her

The leader of the women's hunting contest was best won by Wang Chengxiang's daughter, and Lin Ruoxi became the last one in this competition. Even so, Lin Ruoxi still had a calm face, which made the daughters and daughters of these famous nobles The sons were surprised.

After dinner, the big drum rang outside the tent, and everyone who got out of the tent gathered outside the golden tent of Emperor Dali. Mrs. Xiahou and Mrs. Zhou both cried loudly, saying that they wanted the emperor to make decisions for them. Yushu and Zhou Xiaodie both died in the woods in good condition.

Emperor Dali had already been running around for a day and a night, and he felt physically and mentally exhausted. After hearing Madam Xiahou and Madam Zhou's crying, the veins on his forehead twitched.

"Jing Zhaoyin, have you found out about this matter?"

Jing Zhaoyin is an upright person. Although he offended many officials because of handling the case, he is highly valued by the emperor.

Jing Zhaoyin respectfully said: "If you go back to the emperor, I have already found out. Xia Yushu and Zhou Xiaodie are like sisters on the surface, but it is said that they both like His Royal Highness, so there is a big gap between the two of them. During the contest, the two had a quarrel, and they fought each other with bows, arrows and daggers, but neither of them got any benefit, so both of them died."

Madam Xiahou was full of tears, knelt on the ground and choked with sobs: "The two of them are like sisters, how could they kill each other?"

Mrs. Zhou was the same, she said with a heartbroken heart: "Someone must have done it badly, please Your Majesty learn from it, and give Xiaodie justice."

Xia Houye and Zhou Houye looked at each other, but neither of them said a word. In fact, they also knew that Xia Yushu and Zhou Xiaodie both liked His Highness Fifth, and they had quarreled because they both liked His Highness Fifth, but they didn't As for killing each other, the emperor will definitely believe Jing Zhaoyin's words, so what they say will only discredit Xiahou and Zhouhou's mansions. They simply kept silent and let the wives ask clearly.

The empress's red lips parted slightly, and she smiled coldly: "Madam, I advise you not to think wildly here, please let your condolences pass! This hunting conference has no eyes, maybe the two of them are making trouble. Unhappy, unable to fight, I didn't expect to end up killing each other, this is not impossible. Jing Zhaoyin has already found out the case, you women are still talking about some irrelevant things here. What is it doing? Is it doubting Jing Zhaoyin's ability to handle the case?"

Jing Zhaoyin heard what the empress said, and hurriedly echoed: "Return to the emperor and the empress, I have already found out the case, it is true, if there is a mistake, I am willing to be punished."

Mrs. Xiahou and Mrs. Zhou heard that the empress also believed that Xia Yushu and Zhou Xiaodie were killing each other out of jealousy, so these women dared not open their mouths, but when they looked back and asked their husband for a word of justice Unexpectedly, Lord Xiahou and Lord Zhou remained silent.

Mrs. Xiahou was so angry that she fainted on the spot, while Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she took Zhou Xiaodie's body in a carriage and left the hunting forest overnight.

Lin Ruoxi just stood quietly and watched from a distance, and smiled faintly. His Highness Tuobachen was to blame for all this. If he hadn't pressed her and Tuobatian every step of the way, how could such a tragedy have happened? .

She looked around, and there was no sign of the Seventh Highness Tuoba Chen in the crowd, and she knew that he must have vented his temper in the tent because the plan failed.

It was windy and cold in the woods at night, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help sneezing, Qiuyan saw it, and quickly turned back to the tent to bring a cloak for Lin Ruoxi, and put it on her.

"Miss Si, let's go back to the tent, the wind outside is too strong, be careful to catch a cold!"

Lin Ruoxi smiled and shook her head, looking up at the night sky: "The night is beautiful tonight, I want to stand here for a while."

Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan also didn't want Lin Ruoxi to stand in the strong wind at night. After all, her body had just recovered, but she was still weak. Although they wanted to persuade her, they knew Lin Ruoxi's temper better, so they simply stood up. Standing next to Lin Ruoxi, she used her body to block the wind, but the wind still blew in gusts, making her face feel icy cold.

At this moment, a maid in purple came to Lin Ruoxi, she smiled gently and said, "Miss Ruoxi, my mother invites you to sit in the tent."

"May I ask which empress's maid you are?"

Lin Ruoxi glanced at this court lady, but she had no memory of where she had seen her before.

The purple-clothed maid still said with a gentle face: "I am a maid in the palace of Defei Empress, can Miss Ruoxi come with me and sit in Empress's tent?"

Empress Defei is Tuobatian's concubine mother, what kind of intentions does she have in coming to find her?

Suddenly she remembered that once the Concubine De concubine suspected that she was seducing Tuobatian, so she called her to her palace, and even murdered her. Could it be that this time she is also warning her?If she really wanted to kill her, would she teach her a lesson?But this Concubine De is Tuobatian's mother concubine, if she disrespects Concubine De, Tuobatian will definitely have a gap with him if he finds out?

"Miss Ruoxi?" Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was absent-minded, the maid in purple called out her name.

Lin Ruoxi smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll help you lead the way!"

Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan followed, but Qiu Yan always felt that something was wrong, so she decided to go to His Highness Fifth, so that Highness Fifth could go down to help Miss Fourth.

Lin Ruoxi followed the maid in purple into the tent, and inside the tent was the concubine De, who was wearing a green dress and was dressed in a plain and elegant dress. When Concubine De saw Lin Ruoxi coming, she smiled very kindly and gently, and waved to her: " Ruoxi, you are here, come in and sit down."

The maid in purple hurriedly prepared a chair for Lin Ruoxi, but Lin Ruoxi did not sit down, but bowed to her: "Greetings to Empress Defei!"

Concubine De still smiled kindly, and reproached me a little softly: "Look at you, you are always so cautious when talking to Bengong, I just think you are very likable, so I asked my maid to go find you. You go into the tent and have a chat, you don't have to be nervous, just sit down!"

Did Empress De Fei really change her attitude towards her?Why is her smile so gentle, it doesn't seem like she has any intention of poisoning her?

Lin Ruoxi was thinking this way, and she had already sat on the bench. Concubine De saw her sitting down, and then she asked the maids around her to prepare a table of delicacies, still with a gentle smile: "I didn't eat the dinner just now. , it just so happens that you are here, so you can have dinner with Bengong!"

Dining together?Is it too enthusiastic?

Concubine De saw Lin Ruoxi's vigilance, she asked the maids to pick up the bowls and chopsticks, and gave her all the delicacies on the table, and she ate them all, then pointed to Lin Ruoxi's bowls and chopsticks with a smile: "So, can you rest assured to eat with Bengong?"

Lin Ruoxi is a very cautious person. Although Concubine De ate all the delicacies on the table, the bowls and chopsticks she used may not be the same as the bowls and chopsticks she used. Maybe her own bowls and chopsticks have been tampered with .

Lin Ruoxi refused gently: "Empress Defei, Ruoxi ate too much at dinner, so she couldn't eat anymore, please forgive me, Empress Defei!"

"Since you can't eat, then Bengong can eat by himself. It's fine, you don't have to worry too much!"

Concubine De asked the maid to serve her dishes. Although Lin Ruoxi rejected her invitation, she still ate without anger. Not long after she finished her dinner, she ordered the maid to take away the leftovers on the table up.

The more gentle Concubine De is, the more Lin Ruoxi feels that something is wrong. After Concubine De wiped the corners of her lips with a silk embroidered handkerchief, she looked at Lin Ruoxi with a full smile: "The tea in your hand is completely cold, why don't you drink it? Woolen cloth?"

Lin Ruoxi lowered her eyes and glanced at the clear tea, green tea leaves and clear tea, it didn't look like there was anything wrong with it, Concubine De should not be so stupid as to attack her in her tent, right?

Just as Lin Ruoxi was about to pick up the cup of tea, Mo Xueyuan and Leng Xin exchanged glances, Leng Xin coughed, and said, "Miss Si, you are not in good health, and you have just suffered from a cold, so it is not suitable for you to drink herbal tea."

Mo Xueyuan stretched out her hand to take away the teacup from Lin Ruoxi's hand, and then put it on the tea table beside Lin Ruoxi's hand: "Miss Si, Leng Xin is right, you shouldn't be drinking herbal tea."

Lin Ruoxi suddenly saw the coldness and viciousness in Defei's eyes.

And she immediately put on a gentle look, ordered the maid to make tea again, and gave Lin Ruoxi a cup of hot tea.

"Ruoxi, it's hot tea this time, you won't refuse my offer, will you?"

Lin Ruoxi smiled gently, picked up the teacup, and just touched her lips when she noticed a flash of success and insidiousness in Empress De's eyes.

She hastily put down the teacup, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if the concubine De concubine asked Ruoxi to come here, is there anything she wants to say to Ruoxi?"

Concubine De was a little displeased, but she still didn't show any dissatisfaction with Lin Ruoxi. She ordered all the court ladies to back down, and then glanced at Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan standing behind Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi understood what she meant, so she said, "Leng Xin, Xue Yuan, you all back down!"

Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan really didn't want to leave this tent. After all, they both realized that this concubine Defei must not have any kindness towards their Fourth Miss. Someone must have tampered with that cup of tea just now.

After Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan exited the tent, Concubine De looked at Lin Ruoxi tenderly and said, "Actually, I already know that you like my Tian'er very much, and Tian'er also likes you more."

Lin Ruoxi planned to speak directly: "Empress Concubine De, what do you think of this matter?"

"I think it's very good, and I'm very proud of you. Last time, it was because I didn't treat Ruoxi well. I'm here to apologize to you. Let's replace wine with tea. Let's drink it! "

"Ms. De Concubine is serious!"

Concubine De wants her to drink tea time and time again, she must have some crooked thoughts, Lin Ruoxi did not drink the tea directly, but glanced at the teapot, the whole body of this teapot is white, the porcelain body is very It is delicate and smooth, with a red plum blossom painted on the neck of the pot, which looks very elegant, but with Lin Ruoxi's keen eyesight, she has already observed a slight scratch on the porcelain surface painted with red plum blossom, and the fine The scar passed the neck of the pot for a week, and I knew it should be able to turn.

And Lin Ruoxi has heard of such a teapot. This kind of teapot is usually an imperial product in the palace. It was originally divided into two layers. The upper layer can hold sake, and the lower layer can hold ice cubes. As soon as it is turned, a large round hole will appear between the two layers, and the sake will flow down through the hole and into the ice cubes, so that the sake will become cold wine, which is often drunk in hot summer.

Zihun has a king.If the upper layer is filled with tea, is the lower layer filled with poison?If you use this to harm people, wouldn't people not know it?

Lin Ruoxi threw the wine glass on the ground, and smiled coldly: "Ms. Defei, you are too smart to poison me with such an exquisite teapot? How did I offend you? You insist on putting me to death? Is it because I like your precious prince?"

Concubine De's face became slightly colder, but her words were still gentle: "Ruoxi, what's wrong with you? Why do you think I poisoned your tea? This teapot was given to me by the emperor. I really like the tea you brought for you to drink, how could you think of me poisoning it here?"

Lin Ruoxi sized Concubine De up and down with eyes as dark as a secluded lake, raised the teapot, walked towards Concubine De step by step, and said coldly: "Ms. Concubine De, because you are the mother concubine of the Fifth Highness, I didn't treat you right." You were so obsessed with how you poisoned me that day, and you accepted your invitation to come to your tent to talk to you, but what about you? You tried to poison me over and over again, and put me to death , to tell you, my patience is gone, you should drink all of this pot of tea from Empress Defei!"

Lin Ruoxi squeezed Concubine De's jaw, raised the teapot and was about to pour it into Concubine De's mouth.

Suddenly a figure rushed into the tent, raised his hand and knocked down the teapot that Lin Ruoxi had lifted up, his star-like eyes were filled with complicated emotions, he first glared at Lin Ruoxi, and then looked at the already resentful eyes The concubine De Fei was leaning on the bench, her whole body limp from shock.

"Concubine Mu, can you tell me why you poisoned Ruoxi?"

In an instant, Concubine De's eyes were full of tears, she shook her head: "Tian'er, you have to believe your concubine mother, there was no poison in that pot of tea."

Lin Ruoxi smiled coldly: "You said you never poisoned, so why didn't you dare to drink the cup of tea I gave you?"

Concubine De's eyes are full of grievances and resentment: "Then you give me another chance to explain? You still treat me in such a rude way. I am the imperial concubine of the Dali Dynasty. You know that you are committing a crime by doing so. The crime of disrespect to members of the royal family is a capital crime, aren't you afraid?"

Lin Ruoxi looked at her coldly: "I have never been afraid of anyone who wants my life. No matter who you are, I will not be afraid of you."

"Enough!" 13acv.

A roar made them stop their quarrel, and the two of them looked at Tuobatian at the same time, during which Tuobatian clenched his fists, lowered a pair of star-like beautiful eyes, and his expression was very embarrassed and painful.

Tuobatian was caught in the struggle between two people, feeling that his head was about to explode. One was his natural enemy, his confidante who had experienced life and death; , he really didn't know how to choose.

When he looked down at the broken teapot, there was still a little tea on the remaining fragment, he bent down and drank the remaining tea on the fragment.

Lin Ruoxi yelled and stopped him: "God, don't drink it!"

Concubine De had a terrified expression on her face, but no one noticed that the corners of her lips showed a triumphant smile.

Tuobatian's movements were so fast and sudden that Lin Ruoxi didn't stop him. He had already drank the tea and threw the fragments of the teapot on the ground.

He first looked at Lin Ruoxi, and then at Concubine De, his star-like eyes were full of complicated emotions, and said: "Whether this cup of tea is poisonous or not, let me prove it!"

Lin Ruoxi glanced at De Concubine, but saw De Concubine looking at Tuobatian without any worries, she suddenly understood, just now De Concubine was acting on occasion, none of the food or tea was poisoned by her, And she showed that insidious look, no doubt she was acting for her, because she knew she was very cautious, so she acted so seriously, trying to trick her into falling into her trap.Then the maid beside her invited Tuobatian over. When Tuobatian heard the strange atmosphere in the tent from outside the tent, he rushed in nervously, and saw that he was treating Concubine De rudely. The grievance pushed all the sins on her, so that Tuobatian would hate her, and the gap between the two became bigger and bigger, even irreparable.

"God, there is no poison in this cup of tea!"

Lin Ruoxi's voice became softer.

Tuobatian glared at Lin Ruoxi, and couldn't help asking: "Then why did you treat my concubine mother so rudely? She has already apologized to you, but you still refuse to let her go, don't you have the kind of heart Narrow woman?"

Lin Ruoxi smiled lightly: "God, many times, we can't see clearly from the surface, and I don't want to explain anything, but I will not apologize to Empress Defei, because all this is also her conspiracy."

Tuobatian's handsome face was full of coldness: "The way you treated my mother and concubine just now made me feel very disappointed in you, and I don't want you to apologize to my mother and concubine. I just want to tell you, please respect my mother and concubine. concubine."

Finally, something she didn't want to happen happened.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxi felt that her whole heart was pierced by silver needles one after another. Regarding Tuobatian, she always believed that people all over the world could disbelieve her, but he, Tuobatian, was the only one who could not believe her. It is impossible not to trust her.

But at this point, what else could she explain to him?Said that all of this was a conspiracy by Empress Defei?Said that what happened today was all because Concubine De broke up the two of them in order to create a big gap between her and him, and to lose the trust between the other party?Is it still useful for her to say that?I'm afraid that the more you talk, the darker the description will become, and the relationship between the two will become more contradictory.

Lin Ruoxi gave Concubine De a cold look. Although Concubine De's face was full of grievances, the corners of her lips still raised slightly inadvertently.

Lin Ruoxi turned around to leave, but Tuobatian stretched out his big hand to hold Lin Ruoxi's arm. Such a move surprised Lin Ruoxi. When she looked back, Tuobatian still had a stern face, and the corners of his thin lips parted. Zhang said: "You go, and never get close to my mother and concubine again."

At this moment, Lin Ruoxi's heart was about to break. She thought that he believed her, but now it seems that he doesn't believe her, and hates everything she did to his mother and concubine, but he How much do you know the truth?All this happened because Concubine De's hand was manipulating and pushing behind her back, but did Tuobatian know?

She opened her mouth, but she still had the temperament of not wanting to be outdone, "Fifth Highness, let go of your hand. The Concubine De is so clever, how dare Ruoxi approach her?"

Tuobatian closed his eyes lightly, Lin Ruoxi shook off his hand, and said coldly: "Your Highness Fifth, please don't bother Ruoxi in the future." After she finished speaking, she walked out of the tent.

The moment she left the tent, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help getting tears in her eyes. She thought she could be stronger, she thought she could overcome everything, including controlling her emotions and not letting herself be the one who was hurt, but she found that she really She couldn't do it, when facing Tuobatian, she could never control her feelings, and she was sad and sad again and again.

Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan saw their master coming out of the tent, walking forward with his head down, and they hurriedly followed.

He asked coldly and worriedly: "Miss Si, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was walking in a direction other than her own tent, Mo Xueyuan asked worriedly: "Miss Si, let's go back to the tent, the wind outside is too strong, be careful of catching cold."

Lin Ruoxi still didn't raise her head, she kept walking forward with her head lowered, and she didn't go back to what Leng Xin and Qiuyan said. Lin Ruoxi like this made Leng Xin and Mo Xueyuan feel very worried. Their master has always been strong, no matter what No matter what kind of troubles you encounter, you will face them calmly, but the current master is obviously sad. She lowered her head to hide the pain in her eyes. They can understand, so they are cold-hearted and Mo Xueyuan would rather silently follow behind Lin Ruoxi, rather than disturb their master's heart.

Lin Ruoxi walked all the way with her head down, and unknowingly came to a small stream in the forest. The stream water was beating on the bluestone in the water, making a dull knocking sound, just like her heart, throbbing Knocked so close to shattering.

She sat by the stream, embraced her legs with her arms, and buried her head between her knees. Thinking of Tuobatian's cold eyes and those sad words, she smiled bitterly, Remember how long this life can last?No matter how long it takes, if there is no company of Tuobatian, will her life still be happy?

After Tuobatian saw Lin Ruoxi leave the tent, his whole heart sank. He never gave up on loving her, and he didn't want to say such unfeeling and cold words to her. Before the concubine, he said these words that made him feel painful.

Presumably, she must be completely sad for him.

Seeing Lin Ruoxi leaving sadly, Concubine De was extremely happy, but on the surface she still pretended to be aggrieved, forced a few tears out of her eyes, and hung on the tip of her eyes.

She gently approached Tuobatian, stretched out her hand and gently grabbed Tuobatian's arm, and persuaded: "My God, even if such a woman leaves, don't be sad. Her vicious heart is really good." It's scary."

Tuobatian did not answer Concubine De's words, but lowered his eyes.

Concubine De continued: "Tian'er, since she has already said everything, don't let you go to her again, you just obey her and don't have anything to do with her in the future. There are many good women in the world. Lin Ruoxi's heart is too vicious, and she has no luck, so Mother Concubine will definitely find a better woman for you, and she will be your concubine in the future."

Speaking of this, Tuobatian raised a handsome but cold face and asked: "Mother Concubine, is this your purpose?"

Concubine De was startled, her words became hesitant: "What did you say? Why can't I understand?"

Tuobatian clenched his fists and smiled coldly: "Concubine Mu, the pot of tea just now was poisonous, right?"

"Tian'er, didn't you drink that tea? How could it be poisonous if you didn't stand here well?"

"Mother Concubine, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive your own son. I am your son, and I have grown up by your side since I was a child. Concubine Mother, you know my temperament and mood very well, but I also understand Mother Concubine very well." Concubine's mood, and even what you have done, I can feel it, just like the poison was put in the tea, and the poison was also put in the dinner just now, the reason why you and I ate it but didn't get poisoned The death is all because you and I took the antidote before eating these food and tea." Tuobatian remembered, when the purple-clothed palace lady found him and asked him to look for her in the tent of the mother concubine. , first brought him a bowl of ginseng soup, and said that he must drink it before leaving. After the maid saw that he had completely drank the bowl of soup, she was willing to guide him and took him to the mother's house. In front of the concubine's tent.

But what happened was too coincidental, it happened that the concubine mother wanted to have dinner with Lin Ruoxi, she even asked Lin Ruoxi to drink the cup of tea repeatedly, and the concubine mother treated Lin Ruoxi tenderly, and even hoped that Lin Ruoxi would forgive her for her pretentious behavior , everything was too sudden and incomprehensible, but in the end, what was even more unexpected was that the mother concubine would force Lin Ruoxi to get angry on the spot, and poured the pot of poisonous tea into her mouth, so he rushed in hastily. In the tent, they took away the pot of tea and had a dispute with Lin Ruoxi, which broke their mutual trust.

Concubine De knew that Tuobatian already knew the truth of the matter, no matter what she said, it would be useless.

So she withdrew her face full of grievances, with a cold look in her eyes, showing a resentful expression: "Yes, I poisoned the dinner and tea, and I asked you to take the antidote in advance, so you just don't know what to do." No poisoning. But Tian'er, I did this today to tell you that you can like anyone, but you can't like this Lin Ruoxi, if you still insist on liking her, then I will definitely not let her go. "

In Tuobatian's bright eyes, there was a sad expression: "Mother Concubine, do you really hate her so much, do you want to stop me from being with her?"

Concubine De gritted her teeth, squinted her eyes and said, "Yes, I hate her to the bone, I hate her, a lowly concubine girl, who dared to seduce the noble prince of Dali who was born in the royal family, and hate her to become your future emperor in Dali. A stumbling block to the throne. Tian'er, you must know that her status is too low, she is not worthy to be your concubine at all, and she cannot help you become the future emperor at all. Why are you so obsessed with it? Are you really Can't you see that the concubine mother wants to help you?"

"Concubine Mu, if you think that killing her will make me completely give up, and marry a daughter from a prominent family in the future, and be able to ascend the throne in the future, then you are really wrong... because you killed more than just Lin Ruoxi people, and me..."

He looked at Concubine De with despair in his eyes, which made Concubine De stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect that Tuobatian would love Lin Ruoxi so deeply.

"The throne may be very important to you, but it is not so meaningful to me. Ever since I met Lin Ruoxi, I have known what the life I want is like, so please don't be here Intervene in my life, don't kill her, or... I will be so sad that I can't forgive you, and in the end you can't help but lose my respect and love for you, and you will lose your God forever and ever Son."

After Tuobatian finished speaking, tears had inadvertently rolled down Bai Xi's handsome face. He clenched his fists, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Concubine De wanted to call him, but she opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. She slumped down on the bench with a confused look, and murmured: "My God, are you really Don't you understand what the mother concubine is thinking? She is just the concubine's daughter of Prime Minister Lin, what good thing does she have that can make you die for her like this?"

After Tuobatian walked out of the tent, he went to Lin Ruoxi's tent to look for Lin Ruoxi, but there was no one there, he couldn't help frowning, walked out of the tent, and looked for Lin Ruoxi's figure in the dark night.

But after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find her.

Tuobatian couldn't help clenching his fists, his heart felt like whipping pain: Ruoxi, are you really angry with me?It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said those mean and unfeeling words to you. Where are you?Will something happen?Don't worry me anymore, come out now.

Tuobatian ran into the forest again, looking for Lin Ruoxi everywhere, he called out to the forest twice, but no one answered him.

He heard the chirping of insects, birds and beasts in the forest, fearing that Lin Ruoxi would be in danger, so he quickened his pace and shuttled through the forest.

Until he came to the side of the stream and saw that familiar figure sitting by the side of the stream, he walked towards her slowly, although he was a little embarrassed and annoyed, he still opened his mouth: "Ruoxi, so you are here .”
