Murder and Silence

Grand Master Zhu Jin saw that there was no chance of defeating Bai Jiuxiao, so he stood up quickly.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, after the Ninth Prince gives the bracelet to the Emperor, can the Emperor give it to someone else?"

"No, I put it away after I got it yesterday." Emperor Wen replied solemnly.

Zhu Jin smiled slightly: "That's right. The poison was put on the bracelet. The bracelet was bought by the Ninth Prince. It passed through the hands of the emperor and then was given to Concubine Xi. Ninth Prince would like to explain, no.

Who else could you be?"

At the end, Da Di, who was still watching the excitement, added: "Does the Ninth Prince want to say that he is the emperor?"

Bai Jiuxiao couldn't see his face the most, and said coldly: "I didn't say anything, it was you who did."

"Then please explain to the Ninth Prince why the bracelet bought by the Ninth Prince is poisonous." Zhu Jin shook his sleeves and said with a proud look on his face.

Bai Jiuxiao narrowed her eyes: "This is obviously framed by someone."

"Who framed it? How? The bracelet passed through your hands, the hands of the emperor, and the hands of Concubine Xi. Who can frame it?" Zhu Jin asked.

After saying that, he said in a sinister tone: "I think the Ninth Prince should stop being stubborn. It's more important to save people. Hurry up and take out the antidote. Step back from the brink and come back. The emperor may forgive you for your merits in helping over the years."

One life.”

Emperor Wen looked at Bai Jiuxiao.

Bai Jiuxiao raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her eyes and asked Zhu Jin: "I have no enmity with Concubine Xi, so why did I kill her? And in such a stupid way? Yes, I bought the bracelet.

If the king continues to poison the bracelet, am I stupid?"

"What the Ninth Prince said makes sense." Someone in the audience agreed.

It is Yin Zhizhang, Prime Minister of the country.

"If you put poison on the bracelet you bought, you will be the first to be suspected. No one would do such a thing."

Zhu Jin sneered: "That's not necessarily the case. You must know that the Ninth Prince is a master of military arts. He will make a move at any time and do the opposite. He just knows that everyone will definitely think that he will not do such an obvious thing, so he just

That’s done.”

"Moreover, Hu Yuanzheng also said just now that this poison is extremely rare, few people know about it, and it is extinct in the world. He only found out after reading the only fragment of the scroll. The Ninth Prince may think that no one here today will know about this poison.

If you don’t know about the poison, you won’t notice that the bracelet is poisonous.”

Many people nodded, thinking that what Zhu Jin said made sense.

Indeed, this poison has never been heard of by everyone, and it is very possible that the person who poisoned it thought that he had poisoned it without anyone noticing.

"What's the reason? I just said that I have no enmity with Concubine Xi, so why do I want to kill her?" Bai Jiuxiao asked.

Zhu Jin spread his hands and said, "Only the Ninth Prince knows this. Maybe he thinks it is not a good thing for the emperor to pamper Concubine Xi too much, or maybe he is helping some other empress get rid of a thorn in his side. Who knows?"

"Since you don't know, you are still talking nonsense here, can't you control what you say? If you can't control it, treat it. Let Hu Yuanzheng prescribe some Agastache, Perrin, and Amomum villosum for you. These medicines are specially designed to treat excessive farts." Bai Jiuxiao said.

.

Zhu Jin: "."

Everyone: "."

Zhu Jin's face turned the color of pig liver with anger, and he opened his mouth to fight back again: "Nine"

Emperor Wen kicked over the desk in front of him and said angrily: "Now we need to get the antidote quickly, the antidote! We will discuss the rest later!"

Zhu Jin had to shut up.

"Hu Yuanzheng, didn't you say that there are records in the fragments of medical books? Where is the medical book? Where is the medical book?" Emperor Wen asked sharply.

Concubine Xi was leaning in his arms, panting with her mouth open. She was obviously breathing out more and taking in less air. Originally, it was just her nose bleeding, but now blood is dripping from the corners of her mouth.

Hu Ming was so panicked that he knelt down and bowed his head: "Back to the emperor, I can go back to the palace to get the medical books, but the medical books do not record how to detoxify."

"Then think of a way, think of a way!" Emperor Wen lost control of his emotions.

On a late autumn day, Hu Ming was sweating profusely.

What solution can he think of? He can't think of a solution.

"The humble minister is incompetent. There is really no cure for this poison. Even if the miracle doctor Si Ya is here, he will probably be unable to do anything."

Bai Jiuxiao pursed her lips.

Hu Ming was right, her master did not have an antidote for this poison.

Concubine Xi stretched out her hand and grasped the sleeve of Emperor Wen's dragon robe, and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The dragon's body is important, and the antidote is possible. Maybe only the poisoner has it."

After saying that, he turned his eyes with difficulty and looked at Bai Jiuxiao pleadingly: "Nine Princes, don't worry, I promise you something. I will never break my promise. I just ask you to give me the antidote. Please!"

Everyone present immediately grasped the key point of this sentence.

So did Emperor Wen.

Her eyes narrowed slightly and she asked Bai Jiuxiao: "What did Concubine Xi promise you?"

"I want to know too." Bai Jiuxiao said.

She has never had any contact with Concubine Xi.

"What did you promise to the Ninth Prince?" Emperor Wen asked Concubine Xi again.

Concubine Xi's eyebrows were in pain, and she obviously had something unspeakable.

"I can't say it. If. If I say it, the Ninth Prince will not give me the antidote. Then I will really die."

Emperor Wen raised his eyebrows: "Ninth Prince threatens you?"

Concubine Xi remained silent.

Silence is the default.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Emperor Wen became angry.

Concubine Xi looked at Bai Jiuxiao again with red eyes.

"My concubine. I bumped into a secret of the Ninth Prince. I promised the Ninth Prince that I would never tell it. But obviously the Ninth Prince is not at ease and wants to kill me to silence me."

The whole audience was shocked.

Bai Jiuxiao narrowed her eyes slightly, and her originally clueless thoughts seemed to gradually become clearer.

"What secret?" Emperor Wen asked.

Everyone is also curious about the secret.

The same goes for Bai Jiuxiao.

There was silence and silence all around.

Everyone looked at Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi took a few breaths and looked at Bai Jiuxiao again, as if she was still hesitating.

Emperor Wen was anxious: "Speak quickly."

Concubine Xi finally spoke with difficulty.

"Half a month ago, I went alone to Changle Temple in the southern suburbs of the capital to burn incense and ask for a son. I saw the Nine Princes. When I saw him walking in a hurry and sneaking around, I didn't call him. I followed him.

He found that he had entered a cave under a huge rock in the north, and someone was making fake copper coins inside."

Casting fake copper coins?

The audience was in an uproar.

Ninth Prince? Privately minted copper coins?

"It is a capital crime to mint copper coins privately. I was shocked and frightened, so I was about to leave. But I accidentally kicked a stone and made some noise. I was discovered by the Ninth Prince."

Concubine Xi seemed to have thought of the scene at that time, and her eyes were full of horror.

"Then, the Ninth Prince wanted to kill me, and I begged for my life. I promised him again and again that I would never say a word to anyone, but he still wanted to kill me."

"I had no choice but to lie to him, saying that I had sprinkled a colorless and odorless medicinal powder along the way. If I went missing, the secret guards arranged by the emperor would be able to find me through the powder.

, this cave where coins are minted will definitely be discovered, and then the Ninth Prince will let me go."
