Chapter 29 Other uses

After Concubine Xi finished speaking, everyone's jaws dropped.

Bai Jiuxiao lowered his eyes and smiled softly.

He turned his head and asked Xiang Ning Shiqian: "You don't even dare to write like this in your Liyuan playbook, do you?"

It was so outrageous that she would never dream of doing it.

Ning Shiqian's eyes narrowed slightly and he remained silent.

Concubine Xi gasped again and said: "What the Ninth Prince means is that I am framed? How dare I frame such a thing? Moreover, I am poisoned and am already dying. I just want to live."

If I want an antidote, what good will it do to me to frame you falsely?"

"If I had known that the Ninth Prince was so ruthless, he still would not let me go. Half a month ago, I should have exposed this matter to the emperor. How could it have ended up like this?"

Concubine Xi closed her eyes, looking sad and regretful.

Basically everyone present believed what Concubine Xi said.

After all, it sounds like he has a nose and eyes.

Zhu Jin was even more convinced that Bai Jiuxiao was not a good person.

After thinking for a while, he spoke again at the right time.

"Half a month ago, wasn't that just before the Ninth Prince went to Yunlai? The Emperor asked the Ninth Prince to bring a bracelet to Concubine Xi in Yunlai, and the Ninth Prince just caught the opportunity."

Bai Jiuxiao hummed: "Master Zhu, there is no need to fan the flames. You are not the only one who has grown a brain. Does your Majesty still know if I have money? I can't spend all my money, and I still need to mint counterfeit coins?"

"That's not necessarily the case. It may be used for other purposes." Zhu Jin finished.

All the officials were horrified.

They are all members of the imperial court, so they are all knowledgeable about the past and the present.

Throughout the dynasties, the minting of counterfeit coins was almost always related to rebellion, or in other words, people who wanted to become emperor would mint counterfeit coins.

Because recruiting troops and buying horses requires a lot of money, and cultivating power requires a lot of money.

Bai Jiuxiao has read all the history books, how could he not understand what Zhu Jin meant?

But she didn't do it, she just didn't do it, so she had no fear and looked magnanimous.

Emperor Wen's face looked ugly.

Everyone thought he would attack Bai Jiuxiao.

not at all.

He said nothing, his lips pursed into a straight line.

Zhu Jin felt that he might be afraid of Bai Jiuxiao. After all, he usually had a submissive face under Bai Jiuxiao's lust/power.

Therefore, someone has to push it.

So, he spoke again: "Actually, it is easy to verify this matter. Since Concubine Xi has made it so clear, on the mountain where Changle Temple is located in the southern suburbs of the capital, under the huge rock on the north side of the mountain,

The emperor immediately sent someone to check the cave, so we can find out the truth, right?"

All the officials nodded in agreement.

"right!"

"right!"

"Yes, send someone there quickly. It's too late to get to the other side and move there."

Emperor Wen frowned and looked at Concubine Xi who was breathing her last breath, then glanced at Bai Jiuxiao, turned his head and ordered the imperial guards Wan Ji and Qian Li to bring swords.

"You two, take people to investigate immediately!"

"Yes!" The two of them took the order and left.

Concubine Xi grabbed Emperor Wen's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I may not be able to wait until they come back."

Finally, she turned her eyes to Bai Jiuxiao with difficulty.

"Prince Jiujiu, you don't want me to die before things come to light, right? Can you give me the antidote so that I can live and confront you?"

"I didn't inflict the poison, so how can I get the antidote?" Bai Jiuxiao said coldly.

After saying that, Bai Jiuxiao turned around and prepared to go back to his seat to wait for the result.

She had just taken two steps when Concubine Xi, who was in Emperor Wen's arms, suddenly stood up and rushed towards her like crazy, shouting: "If you don't give me the antidote, we will die together!"

The incident happened so suddenly that no one expected it, and even Emperor Wen did not react.

The green figure was like an arrow, heading straight towards Bai Jiuxiao. What shocked everyone even more was that the dagger in the figure's hand shone with a dazzling light in the sun.

Emperor Wen shouted: "Concubine Xi!"

Some people also exclaimed: "Nine Princes!"

Bai Jiuxiao turned around.

"My lord, be careful!" Lu Chengxi shouted in the distance and rushed over to protect Bai Jiuxiao from danger.

Between the lightning and flint, there is someone faster than Lu Chengxi.

That was Ning Shiqian who was closest to Bai Jiuxiao.

He rushed towards Bai Jiuxiao and stood in front of her.

The moment he met Bai Jiuxiao's eyes, Ning Shiqian discovered that at such a dangerous moment, Bai Jiuxiao's face was as calm as ever.

Just as the dagger behind him pierced his back, Bai Jiuxiao's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly put her arms around his waist, hugged him and flew back a short distance quickly.

At the same time as he landed, Bai Jiuxiao's other hand quickly struck out a palm wind, hitting Xi Fei directly.

Concubine Xi groaned, and her body was like a broken leaf, flying far away and falling to the ground, unable to get up again.

"Don't overestimate your own capabilities!" Bai Jiuxiao withdrew his palm, his clothes and hair flying.

Everyone present seemed to have watched a thrilling scene, but the outcome was predictable.

The reason why I say it is expected is that everyone is well aware of Bai Jiuxiao's martial arts and reaction ability. In Da Zhao, if he is ranked second, no one dares to be ranked first.

Many masters have tried to assassinate and conduct sneak attacks without success.

What's more, a weak woman like Concubine Xi who has no martial arts skills is still a person who is about to die from poisoning and screams before rushing over?

It’s like just looking for death!

The good-looking actor in the Liyuan was considered unnecessary in everyone's eyes. Even if he didn't pounce, Bai Jiuxiao would definitely be unscathed.

However, this person is commendable for his courage and spirit.

On the other side, Concubine Xi opened her mouth and a fountain of blood spurted out. She fell convulsing in a pool of blood.

"Concubine Xi!" Emperor Wen quickly walked over and held her in his arms.

"Are you okay?" Bai Jiuxiao asked Ning Shiqian in front of him, turning him around to look at the wound on his back.

"fine."

"Why do you want to save me? Aren't you afraid of death?" Bai Jiuxiao asked, with scrutiny in his eyes.

Ning Shiqian's eyes flashed slightly and he said quietly: "I don't know, I didn't think much about it at that moment. Maybe the prince looks a lot like someone I know."

He can't say it, because Concubine Xi can't kill you at all. Concubine Xi's purpose is just to let herself die in your hands. Concubine Xi can't kill me, so why don't I take the opportunity to do it so that I can be kind to you?

you.

Bai Jiuxiao didn't know what he was thinking. Hearing these words, he felt relieved and happy.

As expected, I love her dearly. Just because they look alike, I can stand up for myself without fear of danger.

In that compartment, Concubine Xi could no longer make a sound, she was whimpering, and blood was flowing from her mouth. Emperor Wen went up to listen carefully, and after listening, he also whispered in her ear.

Everyone could only see the emperor and concubine talking, but could not hear what they said.

Then, Concubine Xi tilted her head and became completely frustrated.

Emperor Wen stared at it for a long time, then suddenly shouted: "Qin Fulai, come and declare the decree!"

"The Ninth Prince Bai Jiuxiao is suspected of secretly coining coins and murdering his concubines. He is imprisoned in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. He is not allowed to step out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion until the truth comes to light!"
