The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 80 Why stay

The acupoints on Gu Xinning's body have been untied, and the iron cage is very large, with a small table and a stool inside, and a fairly thick floor.

At this moment, Gu Xinning didn't sit or sleep, she just looked at Ye Junyan inside the iron cage and Ye Junyan outside the iron cage.

After a long time, Ye Junyan asked Gu Xinning: "Why didn't you take advantage of my air valve blockage and take the opportunity to escape?"

Gu Xinning replied with a flat expression: "Does the emperor think that Ran Hai will easily let me escape from the palace? I don't leave because I know the emperor will not let me die."

However, Ye Junyan didn't seem to believe Gu Xinning's words, and then asked: "If you really think so, you won't make a move from the beginning, and you are willing to catch me because you are afraid that someone will notice my physical condition and it will be bad for me. ,Yes or no!"

"No!" Gu Xinning replied almost decisively. After the two stared at each other for a while, Gu Xinning continued, "I just suddenly felt that maybe it would be safer to stay."

"You are lying! If you really wanted to escape at that time, you could have taken this opportunity to hold me hostage and let you escape. In that way, you would be safer than now. You did this because you were afraid that my safety would be threatened." Ye Junyan said angrily.Ye Junyan undoubtedly knows his situation better than anyone else. From the time Ye Junyan registered, most of the court has been controlled by Ran Hai, and the palace has the empress dowager backing him. The power is so powerful that it is completely enough to coerce the emperor to his life. Prince, but Ran Hai has never dared to do this. Apart from the prestige of leading troops and fighting on the battlefield when he was the prince, it is largely because of Ye Junyan's very spicy martial arts that is almost unmatched.If someone wants to use Ye Junyan as a puppet, he will undoubtedly be driven to a desperate situation. At that time, no one knows what Ye Junyan will do recklessly.

Ye Junyan said what Gu Xinning was thinking, which made Gu Xinning stunned for a moment, but immediately argued: "You are only half right, I am really afraid that your flaws will be discovered, but it is not for you, but for your own sake. For myself."

"What do you mean?" Ye Jun asked puzzled.

Gu Xinning turned around and said: "Because I suspect that Mo Luotang is also among the followers brought by Ran Hai. Although the other party has undergone disguise modification, I can't tell who it is, but I am too familiar with him, and I can feel his presence." breath."

"Mo Luotang? Who is Mo Luotang?" As soon as Ye Junyan asked, he remembered the last time he was poisoned in Qianzhang Peak. When Gu Xinning found the poison planted by the enemy on the ground when he left Qianzhang Peak, As if he had mentioned the name softly, Ye Junyan still remembered that the body of the person who poisoned him was the same as that of the person who inspected the palm printing department a few days ago.Thinking of this, Ye Junyan murmured again: "Could it be him? The one who poisoned me?"

"That's right, it's him. He is the young prince of the Mo Clan in Southern Xinjiang, and also my senior brother, and at the same time an enemy." Gu Xin said through gritted teeth.

Ye Junyan frowned and said, "So you are afraid that if he knows my flaws, it will be bad for me?"

Gu Xinning nodded and said: "Yes, even if I hold you hostage, I can blackmail everyone present, but he is from Southern Xinjiang. When he encounters such a good opportunity, he will definitely take the opportunity to kill you. Once you die, I will naturally never want to live Leave, that's why I'm going to pretend to be subdued by you so that Mo Luotang doesn't dare to act rashly."

"Is that all?" Ye Junyan couldn't help but tinge some loss and sadness in his words. Although it wasn't strong, it was enough for Gu Xinning to feel it.

"Yes, that's all." Gu Xinning still replied without thinking.

"What kind of grievances do you have with that Mo Luotang?" Ye Junyan changed the subject helplessly, and continued to ask Gu Xinning,

Gu Xinning lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then briefly told Ye Jun about the past between her and Mo Luotang, including the grievances and grievances between Gu Jingzhou and Mo Luotang's father.

"You mean that Ran Hai has been in close contact with the Mo family in southern Xinjiang before he framed Gu Jingzhou? The purpose of your visit to the Palm Printing Department last time was to find the files of the year and find out some unknown details of the Gu Jingzhou case. ?” Ye Junyan frowned and asked.

Gu Xinning nodded and said, "Yes, but I never found it. I only found out later that the dossier from that year had been destroyed in a fire."

Ye Junyan nodded and said: "Yes, before the Gu Jingzhou case is over, a fire broke out in the institution where the Gu Jingzhou case files were stored, and all the files inside were reduced to ashes, but your father was indeed wronged. I already know this, but .All evidence has been burned."

"Hmph, so what if it's not burned down, will you rehabilitate my father? For someone who has been dead for more than ten years, overturn your father's case?" Gu Xinning snorted coldly, then said disdainfully.

Ye Junyan bowed his head in silence for a moment and then said, "I won't." After Ye Junyan finished speaking, he turned and returned to his copybook, sorting out the unfinished memorials.

"Hahaha" Gu Xinning also sneered and sat down on the only chair in that cage.

After a while, Gu Xinning turned her head to look at Ye Junyan again. Gu Xinning saw that although Ye Junyan was holding the memorial in his hand at the moment, she knew that Ye Junyan didn't read a word of it, because Gu Xinning saw Ye Junyan pick it up. The words on the cover of the memorial are reversed, and Ye Junyan said that since he even took the memorial upside down, of course it is impossible to really read the memorial.

Gu Xinning snorted coldly, and said to Ye Junyan, "What is the purpose of the emperor saving me this time? Is he trying to use me to attack the authority of the empress dowager?"

Ye Junyan said without looking at Gu Xinning: "I didn't save you, I said, I want you to watch my country become stronger and stronger, and then I will kill you."

"Hahahaha, getting stronger and stronger? Can you become stronger just by looking at the memorial?" Gu Xinning said with a smile on purpose, as if it was starting to hurt alone.

At this moment, Ye Junyan realized that the memorial in his hand was actually held upside down, and he couldn't help raising his head and glaring at Gu Xinning, then adjusted the memorial, and looked down again.

This time, Ye Junyan finally saw clearly the contents of the memorial. As Ye Junyan looked at it, his originally angry and stern face suddenly became serious.

Gu Xinning seemed to be on the tea set as Ye Jun said, and asked again: "Did something serious happen again?"

"The troops in southern Xinjiang have shown signs of frequent mobilization recently. It seems that they want to take advantage of the Chinese New Year and when the whole country is relaxed to attack us." Ye Junyan said slowly, while contemplating with frowned.

Gu Xinning didn't expect such a thing to happen, so she couldn't help but fell silent.

In the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ran Hai and Mo Luotang have already returned, and Mo Luotang has changed the clothes of his followers, wiped off the makeup on his face, and after changing into his own clothes, Mo Luotang walked to Ran Hai In front of Hai, he said: "How does the Prime Minister see what happened tonight? Ye Junyan seems to want to favor Gu Xinning wholeheartedly."

Ran Hai sighed and said: "Oh, I really didn't expect that the emperor would ignore the civil and military collective request of the Manchu Dynasty. This emperor, I really am getting more and more incomprehensible."

Mo Luotang nodded, thought for a while and said, "But I found a strange thing."

Ran Hai's eyes lit up and he asked, "Oh? What's so strange?"

Mo Luotang frowned and said, "When Ye Junyan fought against Gu Xinning, he easily gained the upper hand, but when he finally subdued Gu Xinning suddenly, I saw that Ye Junyan seemed to be sweating."

Ran Hai said nonchalantly, "Hey." He said, "What does the old man think? When the emperor and Gu Xinning fight, it takes a little effort, so what can you get by sweating a little."

"No, the prime minister is not a martial arts practitioner, so naturally he doesn't think there is a problem, but Xiaotang also practices martial arts. From Xiaotang's point of view, the time and intensity of the two of them fighting tonight is not great. , Ye Junyan wouldn’t be sweating. What’s more, even Gu Xinning didn’t sweat at that time, how could Ye Junyan sweat?” Mo Luotang said to Ranhai Street.

Ran Hai stroked his long beard and frowned, "Oh? It's really strange to say that, what do you mean?"

Mo Luotang pondered for a while and said: "Ye Junyan was poisoned by me before, and I am the only one who knows how to prepare the antidote for that poison. Before I found out about Gu Xinning, I was always wondering how Ye Junyan detoxified it. It was only after Gu Xinning did I finally understand that it was Gu Xinning who saved Ye Junyan."

Ran Hai didn't understand what he was talking about Ye Junyan, why did Mo Luotang involve Gu Xinning, so he frowned and was about to ask a question, when he heard Mo Luotang continue: "But Gu Xinning can't do it in a hurry. Get the antidote, so she must be using the method of fighting poison with fire."

"Fight poison with poison?" Ran Hai asked in surprise.

"That's right, poisons with stronger toxicity and opposite toxicity are used to offset each other, but there is no such thing as perfect in the world. The toxicity of two poisons can be just the same, so it usually takes a little bit to offset the toxicity of the original poison. The toxicity of the poison is higher than that of the middle poison, so that part of the toxicity of the second poison will remain on the human body to a certain extent, causing some controllable damage, which is the sequelae.”

Hearing this, Ran Hai roughly began to understand Mo Luotang's meaning: "You mean, the emperor's symptoms suddenly broke out at that time, which made the emperor's body restrained and unable to do what he wanted?"

Then Mo Luotang nodded and said: "Yes, it must be like this, Gu Xinning must have discovered this too, in order to keep the secret of Ye Junyan, she deliberately pretended to be captured by Ye Junyan, no wonder she went to When visiting the palace the next night, Ye Jun said that he had already arrived, but in the end he didn't make a move."

Ran Hai stroked his long beard thoughtfully for a while, then asked suspiciously: "If that's the case, I don't even agree why Gu Xinning did this, she can definitely hold the emperor and escape."

"Hahahaha, for this junior sister, it seems that she really fell in love with Ye Junyan, who killed her father and enemy. She didn't do this to protect Ye Junyan, so that his flaws would not be discovered." Mo Yutang laughed. Said.

"Oh? Gu Xinning actually fell in love with the emperor? It's interesting, but judging from what happened tonight, the emperor seems to have unusual feelings for Gu Xinning. I left Zhao Yuning in the palace just to see what the emperor plans to do to Zhao Yuning." An explanation at home."

Mo Yutang smiled and said: "The prime minister is brilliant? Zhao Zhongran deserved to die for deceiving the emperor, but Zhao Yuning was a victim from the beginning to the end. Zhao Yuning should be the real concubine Ning. It depends on what the emperor is going to do."
