Devil's Concubine

Chapter 53 The Shadow on the Surface (3)
"Poisoning? Not bad." Mo Xiuzhu nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Is there any more?"

The woman in green said nervously: "As for why Mo Ranchen appeared in Liufang Garden last night, I am still puzzled. I am going to ask you, King Mo."

"I don't know." Mo Xiuzhu shook his head. He was also quite puzzled about this point. After all, based on the information provided by this woman, the relationship between Chu Yunshang and Mo Ranchen should not be so close.

"It can only be said that this was an accident." The woman in green came to a conclusion.

Mo Xiuzhu nodded slightly, agreeing with her point of view, but when he thought of the martial law in Molongwei City, his expression became extremely ugly again, and he said coldly: "I don't care if it's an accident or not. In short, Chu Yunshang must die, and if possible, Mo Ranchen must die too."

"King Xi..." The voice of the woman in green trembled.

Mo Xiuzhu lifted the woman's chin and said with a sneer, "Why, can't bear it?"

"No...not..." The woman dared not admit it at this moment, but she was extremely terrified in her heart, because she didn't want Mo Ranchen to die, she only wanted to be able to ascend to the throne and become Princess Ning after Chu Yunshang's death.

Once Mo Ranchen is dead, the means behind her back will be meaningless, and that is not the result she wants.

After spring, the temperature warms up.

But the afternoon sunshine could not dispel the haze covering the entire city of Mingyue City.

In the west of Mingyue City, there is an unknown small courtyard.

The small courtyard looks inconspicuous from the outside, even a little dilapidated, but when you open the door and enter, there is something special inside.

There are rockery and flowing water, pavilions, flat lakes and waterside pavilions, and the courtyard is quiet and quiet under the embellishment of various precious flowers and plants.Compared with the landscape of the yard, the interior of the room is more luxurious.

The floor is paved with white jade, the beams are made of cloud-top sandalwood, the lamps are made of crystal jade, the curtains are made of blue sea pearls, and the pillars are made of Kunshan Fanjin. The luxury is like a fairy palace on earth.

On the soft couch of agarwood wood in the middle, there was a piece of white mink fur, and Mo Xiuzhu leaned on it, holding a crystal emerald wine glass, shaking it gently.

The wine was high-quality amber wine, crystal clear, but Mo Xiuzhu didn't drink a sip from the beginning to the end.

His face was livid, his brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Tata...Tata..."

A burst of brisk footsteps came from outside, and then, a beautiful woman in green clothes appeared in the room.

When the woman saw Mo Xiuzhu, she quickly stepped up to Mo Xiuzhu, and asked An to say: "I have met King Xie."

"Why did you come at this time?" Mo Xiuzhu asked sharply.

The woman was slightly taken aback, and explained in a low voice: "There are too many Mo Longwei outside, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"Trouble, you know trouble too." Mo Xiuzhu smiled coldly, slowly stood up from the soft couch, and walked towards the woman in green step by step.

He already had a rough face, but now he was full of anger, and that face was even more sinister, making people afraid to look directly at him.

Mo Xiuzhu walked up to the woman in green, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and asked in a cold voice: "You told me that Chu Yunshang would definitely die, but now, how do you explain it to me?"

"I...I..." The woman in green opened her mouth several times, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Explain, explain." Mo Xiuzhu roared wildly, and the hand that pinched her chin became more and more forceful, as if she wanted to crush her chin with one hand.

The woman suffered from pain, her pretty face was flushed red, and her eyes were shining with tears, but she didn't dare to struggle at all, because she knew that as long as Mo Xiuzhu wanted to, he could pinch her like an ant to death anytime. die.

"I... I don't know why things turned out like this, King Xie, it was an accident." Intermittently, the woman choked up and said.

"Accident, you actually have the face to tell me it was an accident. If you accidentally died here, would it be an accident?" Mo Xiuzhu sneered, shook his hand, and slapped the woman on the face forcefully , and rolled the woman to the ground.

Five red finger prints quickly appeared on the woman's face, but the woman did not dare to get angry at all, instead she hurriedly crawled to Mo Xiuzhu's feet, hugged Mo Xiuzhu's thigh and begged for mercy: "King Xi, I I didn't want to be like this, I never expected things to turn out like this."

As she said that, she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "If you want to blame, you can only blame Chu Yunshang for being too cunning."

Mo Xiuzhu kicked her away, and said with a sneer, "It's not that Chu Yunshang is cunning, but you are too stupid, no wonder you will be crushed to death by Chu Yunshang, and you have no status in Prince Ning's Mansion."

One sentence hit the woman's sore spot, and her face changed drastically. She didn't know whether it was because of the pain or the humiliation brought about by this sentence, her body trembled.

Fiercely, the green-clothed woman promised: "My lord, although Chu Yunshang was lucky enough not to die this time, the matter is not over yet, and I will definitely make her pay the price, for sure!"

"Tsk tsk, people say that the heart of a woman is the most poisonous. I have learned it thoroughly this time. I really don't know what kind of reaction Mo Ranchen would have if he knew that there was such a woman by his side." Mo Xiuzhu jokingly smiled and returned Going to the soft couch, at the same time, he hooked his fingers towards the woman.

Regardless of the pain in her body, the woman immediately crawled over like a dog, and crawled to the side of Mo Xiuzhu, her voice became much softer, and she said with a charming expression: "King Xi, you have something to say."

Mo Xiuzhu watched the performance of the woman in green and thought about the identity of the woman in green. The anger accumulated in his chest seemed to be much less, and his expression was no longer so grim.

He took a sip of his wine before he said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The woman in green didn't dare to hide it, and said quickly: "Before Chu Yunshang followed the prince into the palace that day, I brought some other women to send over several sets of clothes and jewelry. The clothes and jewelry were all smeared with poisonous powder. One point, the poison is bound to break out, and the life will not be long. But who knows, although Chu Yunshang accepted those things, she didn't touch them at all. She is too cunning. If this is not the case, even if the assassination was unsuccessful last night , she is also dead now."
