Not long after, Ma Xin led his servants to bring in a boxwood bathtub with carved copper hoops that was half a person tall. As soon as it was placed on the open space in the hall, a subtle fragrance passed by the tip of Luokui's nose, and her eyebrows were slightly raised. Qu, all sorts of hesitations passed by in his eyes.

Du Heng noticed something strange and hurriedly approached her and whispered: "Master, what's wrong?"

Luokui shook her head and said nothing. She just walked close to the tub and circled it. While circling, she waved to the tip of her nose and sniffed briefly. After a while, she stopped and told Maxin to put down his pen and ink. .

She thought about it for a while, then took the paper and pen and started writing. After writing, she handed it to Du Heng: "Take a look."

On the paper were written the commonplace things of angelica, aphrodisiac, thyme, rosemary, marjoram and mint.

Du Heng frowned: "Here, what do these mean and what are they used for."

Luokui smiled sinisterly: "What a sinister thought, what a meticulous method. Each of these medicines are non-toxic. Even the imperial doctor can't see anything wrong. But after being soaked in one place for six hours, , used for bathing, but it has an arousing effect. And the black air contains ambergris, which is a holy elixir for arousing people. I originally thought that the second brother was poisoned by some strange poison, but I didn't expect that they had such a dirty idea. , I wanted my second brother to be trapped to death in the gentle village, and he would never be able to recover. Fortunately, the second brother has always been strong and strong, and he is not a impatient person, so he escaped this disaster. Otherwise, he would have been trapped to death in this lust. , by then it will be hard to save even the real gods.”

Du Heng hesitated and said: "Then, Master, is there a cure for this poison?"

Luokui stood up slowly and burned a stick of incense in the Panlong gilded incense burner. The fragrance was sparse and refreshing, like grass growing in March. She composed her mind and said to Ma Xin: "Let's go and take a look at the white peony root." stop."

After all, they were a couple who had been sleeping together for a year, and the prince was really good to the princess. Seeing the prince suffering, the princess was filled with hatred. She wanted to see with her own eyes the miserable state of the perpetrator. She suddenly raised her head and said in a hateful voice: "I Go with my little sister."

Luokui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay, Du Heng will stay and look after the prince."

In the deep summer night, the wind is still a little warm, blowing on the face like a pair of gentle and affectionate hands, gently stroking. Flowers and ancient trees are sparsely slanted on both sides of the path, and the shadows are graceful, and the deep and shallow blue bricks flow on the ground. Meandering, like a weird painting.

Maxin was holding a sheepskin palace lantern in front of him to light the way, and the dim candlelight cast round shadows on the ground. The three of them turned around and walked into a hidden woodshed. Luokui and the Crown Princess pushed the door in. Maxin Stand quietly outside the door, like a door god, and do not allow strangers to enter.

The room was dim, with dust and moisture blowing in the face. There was a woman tied to a peeled-off vermilion pillar. Her hair was messy and her face was pale. There was a rag in her mouth. Her pretty face was a little distorted. She was Bai Bai who was favored in the prince's palace. Shao, white silk was wrapped around her body layer by layer, wrapping her like a rice dumpling. When she saw the two people coming in, Bai Shao's throat roared and whined angrily.

Luokui waved away the dust in the air, wiped an elm armchair, asked the princess to sit down, and whispered in her ear: "Second sister-in-law can just watch, and the rest of the younger sisters will do it."

The Crown Princess calmed down and sat down. She had never seen Luo Kui interrogating anyone. She had only heard the Crown Prince talk about it once, saying that no matter how hard your bones were, they would be burned to ashes by Luo Kui while talking and laughing. She looked up. Taking a look at the girl, she saw that her features were as cold as ever, but her eyes were as vicious as she had ever seen before.

Luokui leaned back in the chair comfortably, raised her eyes and smiled, the funny smile only appeared on her face, but did not reach her eyes: "You are the prince's concubine. You should know the rules of the house. If you tell the truth, , and less pain in the flesh.”

Bai Shao whimpered and shook her head repeatedly. The hatred in her eyes was like fire, and she would not speak until she was dead.

The Crown Princess thought to herself, isn't the first sentence of the judge the same as that of coaxing and deceiving? There is nothing new in this coaxing.

Luokui's sneer eyes flicked on her face: "I know what your purpose is in refusing to say anything. You expect to wait until His Highness the Crown Prince wakes up and cry out that the Crown Princess hates you for being favored. While His Highness is favoring you, I'm seriously ill, I'm falsely accusing you, and I want to kill you, and I'll resort to tricks like crying, making trouble, and hanging myself. Even if I'm favored by you, you may not be able to escape."

Once her thoughts were revealed, Bai Shao's face was as pale as paper. She was biting the rag in her mouth, just like biting the flesh of Luo Kui's body. Her eyes were so angry that they almost burned a hundred and eighty holes in her body. .

The Crown Princess laughed and sighed in her heart, this is the best thing to do.

Luokui pursed her thin lips slightly and raised a cold smile: "It's just a pity. You are from the Queen Mother's Palace. You should know my methods. If you can survive until the prince wakes up without speaking, wouldn't I smash you?" Got the sign.”

Sweat slowly dripped from his forehead, Bai Shao's eyes widened, unable to make a sound.

Light dust ripples through the bright candlelight. Sometimes, there is only a wall or a window between the door of life and the place of death.

Luokui pursed her lips and smiled, looking very gentle and harmless: "Even if you die, there is a difference between death and death." Her face turned cold, and her voice was like a cold and sharp knife: "You are the only one who will die if you have an affair with a foreigner. , but it was the nine clans that were implicated in the murder of the prince. I remember that you are the eldest brother like father, who raised you up with one hand. You have two nephews and one niece, the youngest is only about two years old." She snorted suddenly, like the wind under the underworld. : "Men have been slaves for generations, and women have been prostitutes for generations. Just because of you, your descendants will be harmed for generations. I'm afraid your brother will regret not strangling you to death in your infancy."

Every word was like a knife, poking at Bai Shao's weak side. Her body was shaking like chaff. If she could move her hands and feet at this moment, she would probably collapse to the ground in an instant.

Luokui's voice was like a soul-locking ghost, and she chased after him: "When you were acting for King Lin, did he tell you how to arrange your brother's family once things failed? It's been a long time since you fell into my hands. It's night, you ask, does Prince Lin already know about it? Why don't you think about what's going on with your brother's family now?"

Bai Shao's face was as gloomy as death. Thinking of her brother's family, her heart ached and she shook her head in tears.

The Crown Princess looked at Bai Shao's face and sighed three times in her heart. This was it. She rubbed her fingers and said no more than five or six sentences in total. It took no more than a cup of tea. What was Bai Shao? Her mind was vulnerable, or was Luokui simply too strong? In the end, she came to the conclusion that it was Luokui who had grasped the weak spot of Bai Shao and was able to hit the target with one blow. It seems that people should not have weak spots, if If you really have a weakness, you'd better hide it tightly and don't let anyone know about it. It seems that such detailed work also requires talent. People like Bai Shao who have only beauty but not enough brains can't do it. Careful. She sighed in her heart, how could such a thin Luokui be so cruel and vicious? Thanks to her presence, the prince was able to turn the corner and control these young people.

Luokui stood up slowly and stood opposite Bai Shao. He looked at her with cold eyes, smiled faintly, raised his hand suddenly, and pulled off the rag that was blocking Bai Shao's mouth. There was a compelling aura in his smile. , but said nothing.

Bai Shao endured the pain in her cheek and said tremblingly: "If, if I say so, princess, princess, can you save my life and the lives of my whole family?"

Luokui raised her eyes and said calmly: "If you tell me, I can save your whole body. If you don't tell me, then I can only save the whole body of your family, old and young."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Shao had nothing to hesitate and struggle for. It would be easy for her to die, but it would be hard to redeem herself if it affected her family.

After everything was done here, Luokui told Ma Xin: "Secretly take care of Bai Shao's brother's family. Bai Shao was put back in her own courtyard. Watch her closely. Don't run away or die. We won't come back until the things outside are sorted out." Take care of her. Also, there are too many people in this palace, which is not conducive to the prince's recovery. He immediately escorted the prince to Shou'an Palace and told the public that the queen mother was ill. The prince went to the palace overnight to attend to the illness. Although the door of the palace did not need to be closed anymore, but , you have to keep an eye on the people who come and go inside and outside the house. You stay in the house and screen all the people who have entered the house in the past two years overnight. Whether they are maids, servants, or concubines, you must screen them quietly without missing any one. "

Ma Xingying claimed that he did not dare to waste a moment to take care of these things.

Back in the palace, Luokui rubbed the bottle that Bai Shao handed over. On the bottle were written the words "Shanggu Xiangfang". She had a plan in her mind. She turned to look at Du Heng and said, "Send someone to watch Bai Shao and offer it." There is no need to arrest the person, just don’t run away.” She paused slightly and said, “Let’s go home and then enter the palace.”

The night was lonely, a crescent moon hung on the treetops, the moonlight was cold, and a lonely shadow was burned on the mottled wall.

Jingmo waited in the courtyard for two hours, but Luokui still didn't turn around. He pursed his thin lips and clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves. There was no longer the usual joking smile in his eyes. I stuffed the short blade and was about to go out when I heard a knock on the door that sounded like the sound of nature.

Opening the door suddenly, I saw Luokui standing there with a shining white face. The night wind lifted her black hair, weaving it into ink-like wings in the dark night.

He rushed over in one stride, hugged her tightly and caressed her gently on her back. His hands and voice were trembling slightly: "I thought something happened to you, and I was going to find you." .”

"Don't scare yourself, I'm fine." Luokui broke out, her face getting uglier in the dark night. A gust of night wind passed through her bones, and she tightened her collar: "It's just that the Queen Mother has been ill these past few days. I have to go to the palace to attend to the illness."

There was silence for a while in the night. Through the dim light from the corridor, Jingmo took a closer look at her face. He was suspicious: "It's just that you are sick. How come your face looks so bad?" He paused slightly and said, "I still want you." Enter the palace to attend to illness."

"It's nothing. The weather is bad, and it's possible for the Queen Mother to be unable to resist for a while. There is also a tradition of summoning me to the palace to attend to illness." Luokui did not tell the truth. She was afraid that Jingmo would be quick to talk and tell outsiders. The prince's serious illness will cause endless trouble.
