Chapter 118 Killing Yuxi with Poison (2)
Dugu Mochen looked at Ping'er coldly as if his eyes were covered with ice.At this time, An Min appeared with a food box, knelt in front of Dugu Mochen and Rong Ziyue and said, "Report to the lord, the subordinates just followed the original road to check. I saw a food box among the grass by the river where we stopped to rest." , the patterns on this food box are the ones commonly used on food boxes in our palace. When the subordinates opened the food box, they found that it was the second lady’s pastry. The slave used a silver needle to test the poison and sent one of the broken walnut cakes. There is the poisonous juice of mandarin duck tears."

Dugu Mochen closed his eyes slightly, his expression could not tell whether he was happy or angry, which always made people feel his back twitching faintly.It took a long time before Dugu Mochen said: "You came to my palace with your father when you were six years old, and you began to serve the second lady when you were ten! Your father stole the property of the palace and was kicked out of the palace. If the second lady didn't want you to be bullied by your father, would you It may already be a corpse now. You, why?" Dugu Mochen said in a simple and gentle tone that seemed to be just an ordinary tone, but it made Ping'er feel like he was in hell.

Ping'er kowtowed vigorously, and said: "My lord!... my lord! I have nothing to do with my servant... my servant is helpless! My lord, please forgive my life... please forgive my life! When the summer just started this year, my father was ill and hadn't healed. I took it to my father to see a doctor. Later, a doctor gave my father a pharmacy to control his condition, but the medicine was very strange! My father was addicted to the medicine. If he stopped the medicine, he would convulse all over his body. People also became violent and crazy. It’s just that the medicine is really expensive, and all the savings of the servants over the years have been bought for the father. Now I’m poor, but my father keeps pushing me to buy the medicine with money. I really can’t afford it, so I go to I beg the doctor. The doctor told me that the medicine given to my father is a poison. If my father continues to take this medicine, his internal organs will fester and die soon after. If he does not take it, he will have convulsions and seven orifices within a day. Bleeding to death. If I can help him with one thing, he can give me the antidote. The prince... at this time, it is about the life and death of my father, and the slaves dare not refuse!...The doctor gave me a medicine bottle, Tell me that I just need to drop the medicine in the medicine bottle into the pastry that the young lady eats. I know that person wants to poison the young lady, so I would rather die than give in. Who knows what that person fed me, after that I I just had unbearable abdominal pain, my eyes couldn’t see anything, I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t hear the sound. The man fed me a medicine, and I immediately returned to normal. But after a stick of incense, the pain will appear again Torment I have no choice but to live or die. He tortured me for a whole night like this. He then threatened me that if I didn’t poison me, I would be gutted and die... lord... lord... slaves have no choice at all... lord, please You... I beg you... please spare this servant... please spare this servant!"

Dugu Mochen didn't look at Ping'er again, and said indifferently: "Anmin! Pull it down and interrogate carefully, and find out who is behind the scenes!"

An Min took the order, and just wanted to go to La Ping'er, but saw Ping'er holding her stomach and looking very painful.The three people present looked at Ping'er one after another, and saw that black blood kept flowing out of her seven orifices, and her hands kept grabbing her stomach as if she wanted to tear it apart.Almost instantly, Ping'er's body slowly became bloated like a balloon being blown up.Then it sank quickly like a deflated balloon, as if all the flesh on his body had been sucked out.Dugu Mochen's expression sank, he stretched out a hand and took out the fire bag from his bosom and threw it on Ping'er.Ping'er's body quickly ignited a fire, accompanied by the sound of skin crackling.After a while, Ping'er's body turned into a ball of ashes!
Rong Ziyue was surprised, and asked, "Why...how did this happen?"

Dugu Mochen looked at the remaining ashes with cold eyes, and said, "She was poisoned by a Gu, and the poison has just exploded! If the Gu worms that are eroding her body are one step later, they will bite through the skin and burst out. Bitten to death by those bugs..."

Rong Ziyue's Qingjun face was a little pale, and he asked seriously: "How can someone be so cruel and cruel, and attack Yuxi..."

Dugu Mochen smiled coldly, and said, "I see... this person doesn't just want to attack Yuxi!"

"boom……"

The sky had already turned completely dark, just like Dugu Mochen's complexion at this time, was covered with overcast clouds.After a while, the bean-sized raindrops scattered Ping'er's ashes, and after a while, even the faint blue-gray disappeared.Standing in the corridor, Dugu Mochen and Rong Ziyue watched indifferently as the torrential rain invaded the courtyard, blurring the bright lights in the distance...

"Do you suspect that someone wants to attack Mo Wangfu?"

Rong Ziyue's plain robe embroidered with blue sunset flowers was stained by the raindrops flying in from outside the corridor, and the raindrops landed on a sunset flower and gently penetrated into the sky blue petals.Rong Ziyue gently stroked the corner of her clothes, her eyes were light but indifferent.

Dugu Mochen looked at the rain scene outside the corridor, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, so he couldn't see his emotions clearly.

"There are so many people who want to attack Rong Wangfu..."

His voice was clear and cold, and was quickly covered under the pouring rain.

"This mandarin duck tear, the southern border royal family is proficient in witchcraft. There is such a poisonous but difficult to tame beast. In the rivers and lakes, there was once a masked killer who used the poison of mandarin duck tears to poison Feng Yan, the former prime minister of the Xue Kingdom. There are 67 people in the family. And... more than ten years ago, the innocent Taoist priest and the abbot Baigu fought in Wanhun Mountain. The innocent Taoist released mandarin ducks and snakes to bite them. In that battle, the abbot Baigu almost died .So..." Rong Ziyue frowned tightly, her eyes flickering coldly for a moment.

Dugu Mochen sneered, and said in a low voice: "So... the masked killer is the most suspected!"

Rong Ziyue said: "The masked assassin belongs to the Wumen Pavilion. Although the people in the Wumen Pavilion are considered killers, they seldom accept the grievances and vendettas of the royal families of various countries..."

Dugu Mochen looked up at the lightning in the distance, and said, "Since there are very few, it doesn't mean there won't be any!..."

Rong Ziyue also looked at the rain scene outside the corridor, the two of them didn't have much to say, only the deafening thunder and the continuous sound of raindrops hitting...

After about a stick of incense, Yin'er and the others resisted the boiled potion.Everyone waited at the door for a cup of tea...

"thumping……"

The door was gently opened, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see that Qingcheng came out with dull eyes and a bloodless face.Qingcheng shook a few times, and said to the person who couldn't see who was in front of him in a trance: "Put...water...into...soak a stick of incense...er...after...after...the water becomes turbid...just ……All right……"

After finishing speaking, Qingcheng closed her eyes and collapsed unconscious...
