The Concubine's Conspiracy: Rebirth of the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 788 The only hope is worse than death

The boat landed on the shore, Luo Wuyou and Rong Di went back to the palace directly, and naturally took Qian Yi who had his acupuncture points with him when they left, and Liu Suifeng followed with a cheeky face without feeling anything.There are too many questions in my heart that have not been solved, so naturally I have to follow up to find out.

The Seventh Elder and Mr. Liu stayed behind, but they all returned to the boat, all of them with solemn expressions.

"Several elders, what do you think, young master, is there really something wrong with his health?" Mr. Liu stroked his long gray beard and asked calmly with his thin face.Looking at the dignified faces of the seven elders, it was hard to hide the worry in my heart.

The Seventh Elder picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine: "I don't think it's good, the breath is too cold, it doesn't look like a human breath. It's like resentment, and it's too strong, I'm worried about the young master..."

Great elder: "Are you worried that the young master will be plotted against by evil spirits?"

"Other than this, I can't think of anything else. There are many similar sorcery in the collection of forbidden arts in our Xi clan. We have them, and it's not surprising that other clans have passed them down." The seventh elder nodded. As an answer, he was indeed so skeptical.

The third elder retorted immediately: "This is impossible. For thousands of years, most of the evil arts in this world have been suppressed and killed by the Xi clan, and the secret books of evil arts were burned. Even the secret arts in the clan have been destroyed by a large number It is impossible to destroy it, the only thing that is possible, I think that old witch Xi Peining is responsible for it."

"You said, could it be related to the secret guarded by that clan?" Mr. Liu looked at the crowd, but opened his mouth suddenly.Seeing everyone staring at him, he continued: "I'm just conjecturing, you guys see if it's possible, don't you think the young master's detoxification is too easy?"

"For thousands of years, among the members of the Xi clan, only the successor young master and patriarch can practice the moon congealing formula. The reason for this is known only to the patriarch. There are many people who have questioned this in the past, but There has never been any reasonable explanation. Even, every Xi Clan Chief has the poison of life and death chaos in his body, don’t you find it strange? Why is this so? And why do you want to hide it from all the clansmen?”

"Even, apart from the patriarch's succession and his personal bodyguard, no one knows about it?" The Xi clan's clan rules are extremely strict, and they would not have known about it if it hadn't been for what happened later.

However, for thousands of years, the reproductive power of the Xi clan has become weaker and weaker, especially after the fall of the high priest, who lost the baptism of the high priest. In the past 50 years, the newborns born by the Xi clan But there are only eight people in total.If this continues for at least a hundred years, the Xi clan will eventually become extinct because they will not be able to conceive offspring!
Because of this, all the clansmen put their hopes on the prophecy a thousand years ago, and they also put all their hopes on the young master.He is the one who bears the fate, the fate of Ziwei Jixing, who can relieve the plight of the Xi clan.

It is also their only hope.

"No matter what, we have to find out about this matter. From my point of view, that old boy Qian Yi should know a lot. If the young master refuses to say anything, then we can just arrest him and force him to question him. I don't believe it. , When the time comes for the big punishment, how dare he not say it?" The third elder said with a gloomy expression.

Mr. Liu shook his head: "If there is no order from the young master, Qian Yi will definitely not speak, and there are almost no people in the world who can make the young master speak. It is not impossible, maybe there is such a person, a few elders, please go ahead Don't worry about it, leave this matter to me and let me arrange it."

Everyone was silent, even though they knew something was wrong, but Liu Yuande was right, there was nothing they could do about it, and the young master had a firm mind, which is hard to find in the world.Who in this world can make him let go?At least none of them has been able to do it in these years.

However, there may be someone who can do it now.

Liu Yuande's name as Mr. Zhi Xun is not false. From the point of view of the seven elders, he obviously thinks more comprehensively, and sees more and farther.It's no wonder that the seven elders don't know anything, but the Xi clan's rules are like this, and there has been no exception for thousands of years.

The responsibility and mission of the Seven Great Elders is to protect the members of the Xi Clan and guard the things that must be protected by them, and all of these are ordered by the patriarch, and if the patriarch is not here, it is the order of the young master.The young masters of the Xi clan are all people whose destiny belongs to them, and they all shoulder the fate of the entire Xi clan.They also hold the biggest secret of the Xi clan, which no one knows except the successor high priests of the past dynasties.

This has always been the case.

It's not that no clansmen have doubted and checked, but in the end they found nothing.Especially after the family land was destroyed 50 years ago, the Xi clan's forbidden area was also completely destroyed, and subsequent excavations did not find any clues.Even the remaining clue, the temple of the high priest was destroyed at the same time.

The high priest Feiyun and the patriarch fell together, and no one in the temple survived.Fortunately, Qianyi is the patriarch and the high priest long ago selected for the patriarch's personal bodyguard, otherwise, everything will be completely buried in the scorched earth following the disaster 50 years ago .

There was silence in the boat, and the faces that had gone through many vicissitudes revealed an indescribable complexity and heaviness. Now, the future of the Xi family rests on the shoulders of the young master alone.

Under such circumstances, how can they not worry?
……

Qindu Street is still very calm, but that calmness is only a manifestation, but there are many more people in the dark, which will naturally attract the attention of some interested people.In an elegant sitting in the Yanyun Tower, Nangong Jingli sat quietly by the edge of the window and looked downstairs as before.

He still held the wine glass in his hand, and his handsome face remained the same, but there was a little more calmness and a sense of vicissitudes after the ups and downs. All of the Fu family were imprisoned for treason, including him.But a few days ago, Emperor Qin issued a decree: The treason case has been investigated, and he did not know about it and did not participate in it.

So, he was released from the prison.The prince has not been cut, and the mansion has not been collected.He is still that Li Wang, and he is still Nangong Jingli.Still the son of the emperor, aloof.

Only he himself knows that all of this is not the case, maybe he did not participate in the mutiny in the end, and he gave up that idea amidst the swings, but it is an unchangeable fact that he hijacked Princess Rong first.If it weren't for his move, the Fu family would not have come to this point.

He seemed to have nothing to lose, yet he lost everything.Even compared to before in the dungeon, I lost more.Rong Di, heh, this man is really the same as in the past.

He is a sinner of the Fu family.

And he was able to survive not because of the imperial decree, but because of that girl.There is no one else in this world who can change that man's mind except her.And what she did was to return his last favor.From now on, there will be no relationship between them.

If he died like that, he would not be condemned by his conscience for the rest of his life. If he died like that, Liu Suifeng would tell her everything, and she would eventually have an apology for him in her heart, not like now, They really became strangers in pairs.

Just like now, he can only look at her and walk past him.

Without any reason or any qualifications, standing in front of her, everything is nothing but self-inflicted.The wine dripped down the man's throat, and he watched the figure almost greedily, disappearing from the crowd at the end of the street corner under the care of the man.What echoed in my mind were the words that the woman had said in the sky prison.

"Wuyou hopes that the prince can forget the past and live on..." But she didn't know that living was more uncomfortable than death for him.Forgetting the past, does it also mean that she wants him to forget her?

But that lovesickness is deep in his bones, how can he forget it?

After pouring all the wine into his mouth, Nangong Jingli picked up another jug ​​and got up and went downstairs, ignoring everyone's eyes, and walked downstairs a little bit, his tall body was shaking a little, and even his eyes were a little hazy , stumbled and knocked down a lot of people.

bang——

Someone was knocked down to the ground, and then there was a woman screaming angrily: "Hey, how do you walk? You won't go home and sleep when you're drunk, and you ran rampant on the street. You ran into my house." Ma'am, do you know? You drunk, you..."

The ear-piercing screams were a bit noisy, but before Nangong Jingli could turn his head, a thrust hit him, he staggered forward and knocked down several people, finally, he failed to stand still with a plop He fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and the wine jug in his hand was completely smashed, and the sharp fragments pierced into his palm, and blood soon overflowed from between the palms.

"Okay, Xiaotao, I'm fine, and I can't blame her. It's because I'm weak. Why else did someone not get knocked down, but why did I get knocked down instead? You see, you still push people, and in the end, they get home Are you bleeding? Why are you so reckless, girl?"

Youshi was helped up, and he yelled at Xiaotao, frowned when he saw the blood on the ground, stepped forward and bent down to check: "Young master, how are you, young master, are you okay, you are bleeding, you look fine Seriously, otherwise, I'd better take you back to the clinic for a bandage, young master..."

There was a lot of noise in the ears, but there was a soft voice. Suddenly, Nangong Jingli opened his eyes bewilderedly, and an incomparably beautiful face gradually entered his eyes. Feeling a little nostalgic, the lips kept moving, but only kept murmuring a name.

"Wuyou, Wuyou..." Is that you, Wuyou?Heh, he should be dreaming.Otherwise, how could she appear here?How could he look at her with such gentle and worried eyes?She should be in that man's arms.Didn't he see it with his own eyes?
But if it was a dream, he hoped that this dream would never wake up.

Even if it's just to be looked at by this gaze, it's fine!
The man's low murmur was drowned in the noise of the crowd, and Youshi couldn't hear it. He was still worried because his hand was still bleeding. After all, it was his maid who pushed him down.

Turning around, she said to the maidservants: "I don't have any medicine on me, Xiao Tao, go find a carriage first, take him back to the house to bandage him, and you guys come over and help me lift him up, hurry up, you guys What are you still doing?"

"But ma'am, aren't we going to Gu's mansion? It would be bad if we keep Madam Gu waiting for a long time. Besides, the young master said, Madam Gu..." Xiao Tao was a little reluctant. If it wasn't for this person, her wife wouldn't either. Knocked down, and you want them to help him?Hmph, it makes no sense.

Youshi's eyebrows frowned even deeper: "That's it, you go find a carriage, and take him to a nearby medical clinic later, Xiaoyun Xiaoyu, help me take him aside, Xiaoyun stay and wait, Xiaoyu accompanied me to Gu's house first, don't delay any longer, I'm afraid it will be more serious." She naturally knew Xiao Tao's little thoughts, and she was also very worried about the situation of Gu's family.

But this man's wound was a bit deep, and he might have punctured a blood vessel, but the blood was still gushing out, and they didn't bring any medicine with them, seeing how drunk he was, if he was allowed to stay Here, I'm afraid that no one will pay attention to him. If the blood doesn't stop, I'm afraid he won't feel the blood really flow out.

Especially, it was Xiaotao who pushed him down.

Xiaotao had no choice but to look for the carriage, and a few maids stepped forward to help the man aside, but Nangong Jingli's eyes were fixed on the face, motionless, letting others support her, until suddenly There was a touch of red tassels, which kept swaying, blocking his sight.

He instinctively reached out and pulled the thing off, stuffing it into his arms.Looking at the side face that reappeared in the line of sight, the blurred eyes were filled with endless attachment and obsession, but in the end they couldn't resist the stinging pain from the back of the neck and the invasion of darkness, and they all fainted.

You Shi helped him over and left, but no one saw the man's neck, and streams of blood also spilled out.And the man's face was even paler.

But there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, a bit bitter, a bit sad.

There is still a bit of regret...
