Chapter 35 The True Identity (1)
In Jingguohou's Mansion, white lights hang high in front of the gate, and white silk is unfurled inside the mansion, which looks gloomy and gloomy.

In front of the princess's coffin, the Marquis of Jingguo was dressed in plain clothes, his face was as indifferent as usual, and there was no look of sadness.

The King of Ling supported the coffin and cried out in grief: "Sister Wang, you are still so young, how can you just leave? The mother and concubine left early, and Brother Wang is the only family member left, so you also leave like this How can you bear the heart to leave Brother Wang alone?" While speaking, he tried to interview with his sleeves, but there was no trace of tears.

"Uncle Wang's words are wrong, isn't Gu a relative of yours?" Nan Gongao strode in, followed by Ru Mo and Leng Yixiao.

Since entering the mansion, along the way, the scenes that were once familiar to me, and the scenes deeply hidden in the memory flashed in my mind.It's so far away that it doesn't seem like hers.

Everyone hurriedly saluted, and Hou Jingguo frowned when he saw that Leng Yixiao and Ru Mo appeared together, which seemed natural and familiar.

Nangong Ao ordered everyone to stand up, but the King of Ling couldn't stand it, and said in a sad voice: "The king is naturally a relative of the minister, but the eldest princess is the younger sister of the minister, and the mother and concubine left a will before she passed away, so I must take good care of her. Sister Wang...but these years, I have been busy with political affairs and neglected to take care of my sister. Now that she is gone, I can't help but feel sad. I feel ashamed to face my sister, and my mother and concubine who left early. !"

Nangong Ao comforted: "Uncle Wang's mood, I understand it alone, and the eldest princess is very sad when I go away. But the dead are dead, and the living should take good care of themselves, so that they can be worthy of the deceased relatives, Uncle Wang, what do you say?" Isn't it?" He stretched out his hand to help King Ling get up.

King Ling thanked him for his kindness, and then stood aside, looking outside the door from time to time.

Nangong Aojian had no abnormal expression on Jingguohou's face, as if the sudden death had nothing to do with him.He couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Jingguo, let the past matter pass by! The Eldest Princess is the one whom Gu respects more among the elders, so this funeral should be held more grandly. And the expenses required for the funeral are all borne by Gu. to bear."

"Observe the order." Hou Jingguo complied calmly with his expression unchanged, neither refusing nor thanking him.

Ru Mo and Leng Yixiao stood aside, looking at the coffin without any warmth.

This woman is finally dead!After all the hard work, the result is nothing more than ten years of solitary confinement and this cold coffin.I don't know if she had any regrets before she died?
"My lord, I want to see my lord!"

Holding a white porcelain bowl, a maid broke through the guards' obstruction, ran quickly into the mourning hall, and knelt down in front of Nangong Ao with a plop.

After Nangong Ao backed away, Yi De quickly scolded: "Bold slave! What are you going to do?"

The servant girl wept and held up the white porcelain bowl, "Your Majesty, the princess died unjustly! You must make the decision for the princess, otherwise, the princess will die with regret!"

Nangong Ao's complexion changed slightly, and he turned to look at Jingguohou. Jingguohou's expression remained calm, Nangongao said: "What do you mean by that?"

The servant girl said: "Go back to the king, the servant girl is the princess's personal servant girl - Lian Er. This is the soup that the Marquis of Jingguo personally brought for the princess in the morning. He said that drinking it will make the princess recover quickly. Get up. The princess only drank half a bowl because she thought it was bitter, but died less than half a minute after drinking it...Princess, she is so miserable..."

Crying loudly, somewhat sharply, sounds creepy.

There was an uproar around, murdering the princess is a serious crime!

Both Ru Mo and Leng Yixiao were startled, looking at Lian'er with a knife-like gaze, Lian'er seemed to feel it, her crying paused for a while, and then continued.And Hou Jingguo's complexion remained unchanged, looking at the bowl of medicine, his expression was indifferent, and he did not argue.

Nangong Ao was about to open his mouth to ask questions, but he saw that King Ling suddenly became very emotional, and said, "Your Majesty Jingguo, how dare you poison my king's sister! Let me just say, why did you go so suddenly? Unexpectedly, you are so bold! Your Majesty, you have to decide for your sister! Murdering someone in the royal family must not be easily let go. Otherwise, what face will I have as a royal?"

Nangong Ao glanced at him, but didn't speak immediately, but frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Housing Jingguo, did you deliver the medicine to the eldest princess this morning?"

Jing Guohou said: "Send it."

Nangong Ao's complexion changed, and he said again: "Is this the bowl in Lian'er's hand?"

Jing Guohou said: "Yes."

Nangong proudly said: "Why did you poison the princess?"

Jing Guohou raised his head and looked at him, and said in a flat voice: "I sent medicine, but I will not take the princess's life. Therefore, I don't know why the princess died suddenly." He really wanted her to die, but he would not be stupid. to use this way.

The King of Ling said angrily, "You ordered someone to decoct the medicine, and you took it yourself. You don't know who knows? I ask the king to govern the crime of murdering the eldest princess by Marquis Jingguo, so as to comfort the eldest princess' spirit in heaven."

Nangong Ao squinted at him, and said unhurriedly: "What's the hurry, Uncle Wang? Since Jing Guohou said that there is nothing wrong with this bowl of medicine, how can Gu make a hasty conviction before the matter is clarified."

King Ling was taken aback for a moment, seeing that Nangong Ao seemed to be favoring the Marquis of Jingguo on purpose, if he hadn't confirmed it in front of all the ministers today, if it was delayed, the future would be unpredictable, and it would be difficult to find another opportunity when it was too late.Thinking of this, he said proudly to Nangong: "It's easy, just test whether this bowl of medicine is poisonous or not? It just so happens that there is a person next to me who is more proficient in poison, so you can ask him to check it." After a glance, a man dressed like a guard standing in an unobtrusive corner came forward and saluted them briefly.King Ling said, "Go and see if that bowl of medicine is poisonous."

Ru Mo's eyebrows twitched, that man... seemed to have seen it somewhere, and his figure and movements were very familiar to her, but she couldn't tell.Only that ordinary face is relatively unfamiliar.Her feeling was never wrong. She must have seen this man.

The man took the medicine in Lian'er's hand, observed it carefully, held it up to his nose and smelled it, then gave it back to Lian'er, and said in a hoarse voice: "This poison is called Duanhun. It won't last half an hour."

"This..." Everyone turned pale with shock.

Ru Mo's eyes sharpened, and she knew immediately after hearing that this man's voice had been deliberately changed. Although it sounded strange, it still felt familiar. Who is this man?

The King of Mausoleum forced him to ask: "What else can you say, Marquis Jingguo? The eldest princess and maidservant Lian'er usually don't contact the outside world, so it is impossible to offend anyone. Your wife took her daughter and abandoned you, that's why she did this."

Jingguo Hou's eyes suddenly turned cold, but his face remained calm and he said: "This Marquis doesn't even know what a broken soul is, so why did he get the poison of broken soul? The King of Ling has inquired very clearly about the affairs of my Marquis Mansion. It is also very thorough, even the drug testers have been prepared in advance."

King Ling's eyes flashed, he pretended to cough lightly, and then said: "The eldest princess is the king's sister, so naturally she should pay more attention." After saying that, he turned around and lifted his clothes, knelt down to Nangong Ao, and leaned over Said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very clear, please make an order to punish Jing Guohou for his crimes."

Nangong looked proudly at Lord Jingguo, then looked at the indifferent Leng Yixiao, and said, "Uncle Wang, just one of your guards has determined that this medicine has the poison of killing souls, and you will be convicted of the crime of Lord Jingguo. People are convinced. Why don't we put this matter on hold until the eldest princess is buried in the grave, and I will review it in detail before making a decision."

King Mausoleum said: "If you can't find out the truth, give Wangmei justice, even if she is buried in the earth, you can't rest in peace. If the king doesn't trust the person brought by the minister, then the minister will ask the king to appoint an imperial doctor to examine Wangmei's body to see if Wangmei is safe or not. Died due to breaking the poison of the soul."

With the development of the matter to this point, everyone already understood that the bowl of medicine must be poisonous, otherwise, King Ling would not be able to insist on it like this.Nangong Ao looked at Hou Jingguo rather embarrassed, sighed, then called Yide, and ordered him to return to the palace to teach the imperial doctor.

The faces of Jingguohou and Leng Yixiao suddenly changed, Leng Yixiao was about to stand up, but was held back by Ru Mo.He looked back at her suspiciously, but saw her smiling at him, as if saying that she had a way so that he didn't have to worry.

Rumo walked slowly to the center of the mourning hall, and said with a smile to Nangong: "Rumo has done some research on poison, if you can trust it, you might as well ask Rumo to confirm whether this medicine is poisonous or not." Responding, he took the bowl of medicine from Lian'er's hand, looked at it carefully, and put it under his nose to smell it.Then he smiled meaningfully and said, "This is just a bowl of ordinary soup. The guard brought by the King of Ling who is proficient in poison insists that he has the poison of killing souls. Rumo can't help but think, what is it?" King Ling, your guards pretended to be people who know drugs and deceived you, or did you deliberately arrange this show with some other purpose behind it?"

Her sharp words hit the point directly, and easily led people's thoughts to King Ling's intentions. After all, everyone knows that King Ling and the eldest princess don't have a deep relationship, but today they acted so intensely that it has to be surprising. suspicion.

King Ling's complexion changed, seeing the eyes of the man he brought flashed brightly, he secretly winked at King Ling, King Ling said in a deep voice, "This king is complaining for the eldest princess and also defending the dignity of the royal family. She is the future queen, but this matter is not trivial, how can you just talk about it? Your majesty, in order to convince everyone, let the imperial doctor come to examine the body of Wang Mei!"

Hou Jingguo looked at Rumo with complicated eyes, not understanding that they were still facing each other in the palace not long ago, but now she is helping him to get rid of the crime. He is very sure that the bowl of medicine is poisonous, although he is not sure if it was made by King Ling. , but it must be inseparable from him.It’s okay if the bowl of medicine is targeted alone, but if the imperial doctor is asked to examine the body of the eldest princess, then the truth of the princess’s lingering illness for many years will definitely be revealed. At that time, even if it proves that the bowl of medicine has nothing to do with him, he will escape No guilt.What made him even more puzzled was that he had withdrawn from the court for many years and had never had any enmity with King Ling. Why did King Ling frame him like this, even at the cost of his own sister's life?As for the bowl of medicine, after he delivered the medicine and left, someone sneaked into the princess's garden and tampered with it secretly.

Nangong Ao actually understood very well in his heart. He understood the real reason why Jing Guohou married the eldest princess better than anyone else, and Jing Guohou should have hatred in his heart.Although I can understand it, but if he is proved to be the murderer who poisoned the princess in front of so many ministers, even if I want to help him, I will not be able to help him.Seeing Rumo stand up, he felt a little relieved. With her temperament, she must be sure to stand up.So, ignoring King Ling's request, he looked straight at Rumo.

Ru Mo glanced at the crowd lightly, and said unhurriedly: "Why bother. I don't know how much time it takes to invite the imperial doctor. The king is busy with government affairs and doesn't have so much time to waste. If you want to prove Whether this bowl of medicine is poisonous or not is very simple. Wouldn’t it be clear if one person was chosen to drink it? What does your majesty think of this method? It’s simple and saves trouble.”

Everyone was startled, seeing Rumo's gaze sweeping over them, they quickly backed away, for fear of being picked.

Hearing what she said, King Ling felt that this method was good, so he looked at Nangong Ao.

Nangong Ao was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth were moved, he couldn't laugh or cry, he thought she had some good way, it turned out to ask someone to test the poison, didn't she know that the bowl of medicine was poisonous?Or was she still brooding over what happened just now, and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Lord Jingguo?With her attitude towards Yixiao, she shouldn't do that.Then why did she say that?He was really puzzled, for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

Leng Yixiao looked at her puzzled, but seeing her give him a reassuring look, she stood there, waiting for the next development.

Hou Jingguo's complexion changed slightly, and he couldn't help sneering. It turned out that she was not helping him, but killing him at a faster speed, and she wanted to drag another person to be buried with her.Using people to test poison, this woman's heart is so vicious. If she becomes the queen of the country, the consequences... However, before he can imagine it, the next scene suddenly changed his calm face that he hadn't broken for many years. , staring at the beautiful woman with wide eyes in disbelief.She actually...

It wasn't just the Marquis Jing who couldn't believe it, everyone present was stunned!

She curled her lips and pulled out a beautiful smile, holding the bowl in both hands, raised her head and drank all the decoction that was said to contain the deadly poison, Shengxue's sleeves fell one by one with her graceful movements, Perfect.

The bitter taste filled her mouth and poured down her throat. She clearly felt the wriggling in her abdomen, as if she was absorbing something.

"Ning'er!" Nangong Ao opened his mouth wide in horror, never expecting that she would test the medicine himself, and his expression changed drastically.

"Rumo..." Leng Yixiao also turned pale with shock.

Ru Mo said indifferently: "I'm fine." After speaking, he mobilized his inner strength and turned the white porcelain bowl into ashes in an instant.The so-called evidence was gone. She raised her chin and said arrogantly: "I told you before, this medicine is not poisonous at all. Everyone knows that I had a dispute with the Marquis of Jingguo because I was not related to him. I want to help someone, but I don’t like my ability being questioned. That’s all!”

Nangong Ao and Leng Yixiao felt relieved, and looked at King Ling and the man beside him together.

King Ling's face was livid, and he also looked at the man with sharp eyes.The man smiled and said: "Miss Rumo is really clever, even the last evidence was destroyed! But it doesn't prove anything, because there is a kind of person in this world...she can be invulnerable to all poisons! Now I want to prove whether the eldest princess is died of poisoning, only the body can be examined."

"Your Majesty, I request that an imperial doctor be sent to examine the body of the Eldest Princess!" The King of Mausoleum asked.

Ru Mo's eyes sharpened, there are very few people in this world who know that she is invulnerable to all poisons.It seemed that she had not only met this man before, but should also be quite familiar with him.He smiled immediately and said, "Who is so sacred, Your Excellency? Don't dare to show your true colors to others, could it be that Your Excellency...is an old acquaintance with Rumo? Or is it because of a special status that you can't see?"

The man's eyes flashed, Ru Mo's figure moved quickly, and without warning, he raised his hand and grabbed the man's face.

The man seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he raised his hand to block her, and after a blow from her, he used his strength to dodge and stood behind King Ling.It seems that he doesn't want to fight her.

Ru Mo narrowed her eyes slightly, she didn't expect that there was such a top expert beside King Ling, although she only used three times of her power, but that person was obviously able to block lightly, and her body skills changed so quickly, it was unexpected.Where did this person come from?

King Ling hurriedly got up, and said angrily, "What does Miss Rumo want to do? In broad daylight, doing it in front of the king and all the ministers, do you want to kill someone?"

Ru Mo sneered, "This person has a secret identity and strong martial arts. Ru Mo would like to ask King Ling, no matter whether you enter the palace or come here, you always have such a master by your side, what is your intention?"
