Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 242 Gu Poison
It's late at night, and the lights are gone.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the reconciled two people and left, then withdrew her following eyes, and sighed: "Everyone in the capital knows that King Jing has a deep affection for Ling Qingwei, but he doesn't think that the one he loves is Youyao."

Pei Ce was not surprised by this, and said: "Back then, people only knew that Fu Mingjue and Ling Qingwei were about the same age, and seeing that Ling Qingwei had been in and out of Prince Jing's residence, they would naturally think of them together. But who knew that Fu Mingjue was such a beast, Are you looking at Miss Ling Er?"

When he was studying with Fu Mingjue in the past, he would always stare out the window.At that time, Pei Ce didn't understand what he was looking at, but now that he thinks about it, he understands.

Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao dragged him down the tower, and said helplessly, "My lord, please keep your voice down, if someone else hears it, your back will hurt again!"

Pei Ce blushed, and subconsciously covered his waist: "Xiao Xiao, the lantern festival is over, so we should go back, right?"

"Well, young master, will you follow me back to Huixian Tower tonight?"

Pei Ce raised his eyebrows, a coquettish smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and leaned over meanly: "What? Long time no see, want me to accompany you?"

"." Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless, and then she rolled her eyes, her beautiful peach eyes revealed a hint of charm, and her voice was like an oriole: "The cold night is long, if you are accompanied by your son, this concubine's heart will not be cold."

Her appearance belongs to the Qingmei and gorgeous school, but she wears simple and elegant clothes on weekdays, her eyes are clear, and she does not reveal that kind of charm.Now she is putting on a pose, and just this look in her eyes almost makes Pei Ce lose his mind.

Seeing him stunned, Mu Xiaoxiao stopped teasing him, turned around and walked towards the dimly lit place.

After walking a few steps, he stopped suddenly, turned his head and stared at Pei Ce strangely: "My lord, what are you doing standing there?"

Looking at her beautiful and gentle face, Pei Ce gradually came back to his senses, and walked towards her, but in an instant, he returned to his usual indifferent appearance, "Let's go, I will reluctantly stay with you tonight Bar."

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. Although my life experience is complicated, at most two hours is enough to finish it."

His brows and eyes flickered, and he tentatively said: "Xiao Xiao, you can't be the daughter of the Ling family, right?"

"No," Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, with a faint smile on her lips, "it's a surprising but happy result."

Tonight, after her performance, Fu Mingjue sent someone to look for her and told her about her life experience.Ever since she revealed the matter about Qingshan Temple to Ling Youyao, she guessed that Fu Mingjue would find out the matter for her, but she didn't expect the result to come so soon.

To her surprise, she turned out to be the homeless daughter of Duke Yu's Mansion, and Ling Ling had previously replaced her identity before being murdered by the Queen Mother.Fu Mingjue didn't tell her in detail yet, the empress dowager's grievances with her mother only allowed her to stay in Huixianlou.

Although she knew that she was the daughter of Duke Yu, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't want to go back to the Su family.Yuguo's mansion is in deep water. A few days ago, the incident between Su Lingxi and Liu Hongxin caused a lot of uproar, and it didn't calm down until these few days.

Fortunately, apart from this matter, there is another thing to be happy about.

Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help smiling when she thought of that indifferent and somewhat arrogant face.

Seeing her smiling happily, Pei Ce couldn't help asking, "What did you think of? Smiling so happily?"

"My lord," she stopped suddenly and looked at Pei Ce seriously, "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

In the light of the moonlight, there seemed to be moonlight flowing in her eyes, and the joy in her tone could not be concealed: "In the past, I always envied you for having two older brothers, and now I have too. By the way, son, the crispy chestnut you ate last time The cake was bought by my brother."

Pei Ce was taken aback for a moment, and when he saw those crystal clear eyes, he felt inexplicably empty in his heart, as if a beloved object suddenly had its true owner, and he was just taking care of that person.

Thinking of this, Pei Ce felt a little depressed.I wanted to find Ji Shuyu to drink to relieve my boredom, but then remembered that he had already left Beijing for the northern region, and my heart felt sad again.

In the end, he stayed in Mu Xiaoxiao's room and refused to leave.Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to drink with him.However, she couldn't drink as much as Pei Ce, so she fell asleep on the cushion after not drinking much.

Pei Ce's eyes were blurred, but his mind was very clear. After hugging Mu Xiaoxiao to the bed, he just sat on the edge of the bed with the jug in his hand and stared at her all night, as if she would leave him when he closed his eyes. and go.

After the Shangyuan Festival, all the snow in the capital has melted, but the chill has not completely receded.

The medicinal fragrance in Xuanguang Hall was strong, and the windows were tightly closed, so that no sunlight could penetrate.A man in white was lying on the bed, his face was pale and his lips were dark purple.The collar is wide open, the chest is full of silver needles, and the breathing is weak.

After Sun Zhongxing took Xie Yuanting's pulse, his expression was solemn, and then he walked outside, "Your Majesty."

Fu Xiuyun got up quickly: "How?"

"The knife wound on Mr. Xie's body is not serious, but he has been poisoned for a long time, and the toxin has penetrated into his lungs. The old minister is afraid that there is no way to recover, so please forgive me." After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to him.

Fu Xiuyun showed astonishment, and asked again unwillingly: "Is there really no other way?"

Sun Zhongxing shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Xie's poison is very strange. According to the old official's speculation, it should be a unique Gu poison in southern Xinjiang. Originally, the Gu insect has been controlled, but Mr. Xie has recently activated his internal energy. It caused a toxic attack. If the prince hadn't given Young Master Xie the Hundred Poison Pill in time, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to survive in the capital."

Fu Xiuyun knew that Xie Yuanting liked to roam the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect that he would be poisoned by Nanjiang's Gu poison.Now Lushan is gone, leaving only a son like Xie Yuanting, if even he can't be rescued, the Xie clan may really die.

Fu Mingjue glanced at the inner hall, and then said: "Your Majesty, since it's the southern border poison, why don't you invite the national teacher to come into the palace to have a look?"

"It's true!" Fu Xiuyun was about to make an order, but suddenly thought of something, "But Nanjiang only handed over the certificate of leaving the capital yesterday, and I'm afraid he has already left the city by now."

"Your Majesty don't have to worry. At this time, send people to chase after him quickly, and we can still make it."

Fu Xiuyun felt that it made sense, and immediately asked Wei Xiu to lead someone to chase him out.

When he turned his head and saw the lifeless Xie Yuanting, Fu Xiuyun had a headache again, and said: "I haven't told her about the empress, but the news of Lushan's extermination may not be kept secret. Now I only hope that Xie Heng can survive." Come here, so that the queen can have something to trust."

Fu Mingjue's expression was indifferent, and he said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, I thought that we should not only hide Xie Heng's matter from the Queen, but also from the Eldest Princess."

"Why is this?"

"Xie Heng has been staying in the princess mansion for the past few years, but the eldest princess doesn't seem to know who he is."

Hearing this, Fu Xiuyun gradually had a bad thought in his heart. He had a glimmer of hope, but after seeing Fu Mingjue's affirming eyes, he could no longer calm down.
