The feeling of being forced to drink medicine was really painful. Luo Kui pinched her nose and avoided the mouth of the bowl. She smiled bitterly and said: "Du Heng, the book you read last time said what is the name of the immortal descending to the earth? What is it called? Yes, it is called Du. Tribulation, I am a person who has suffered so many calamities and met you two debt collectors again. I must be an immortal who came down to earth to overcome the calamity. After I have overcome the calamity and become an immortal, let’s see how I deal with you and Su Zi.”

"Okay, okay, master is here to overcome the tribulation. When will you finish the tribulation? Can you please drink the medicine and quickly finish the tribulation and leave quickly, so that we people can have the light of chickens and dogs ascending to heaven." Du Heng smiled. He pushed the medicine bowl under the tip of her nose and stared at her with a good look.

Luokui glanced at the bottom of the bowl. After just one glance, she felt that her mouth was full of the bitter taste of the medicine. If she took another sip, she would vomit it out. She thought for a while, quietly holding the medicine bowl, She quietly moved under the window, where a rose-glazed Jun kiln hexagonal basin was placed on the small table with begonia flowers. She planned to empty it all while Du Heng wasn't paying attention.

Before she could take action, she heard Du Heng laugh sadly: "Master, the pot of green plums was rewarded by the Queen Mother. If the medicine is dead, it is the crime of deceiving the king. Could it be that the master intends to do it because of a bowl of green plums?" Do you want to die by taking medicine?"

Luokui snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and drank the medicine in one gulp. Suddenly, his hair stood up in pain, and he gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "You are now talking exactly like Su Zi, a Su You are already crazy enough, but if you are added to the mix, our Shui family might as well turn into a lunatic asylum."

Du Hengshen thought it was true and nodded with a smile: "I will write to him right now and ask him, the owner of the lunatic hall personally appointed by the master, to come back as soon as possible."

Luokui snorted lightly, and while passing the medicine bowl, she turned her back and told Du Heng: "In the past few days, you have arranged for Dingxiang to enter the Prince's Mansion, and then pass on the order. Before I come back from Beishan, Everyone is hibernating so as not to cause trouble."

Luokui's voice was low, and because Jingmo had something on his mind, he was distracted for a moment and didn't hear a single word from the two of them. Until Du Heng opened the curtain and went out, a ray of warm sunlight leaked in, shining brightly on his eyes. Then he came back to his senses and asked: "After what happened last night, I always feel uneasy. I have been in Qingzhou for some time, and I have heard a lot about things in Beijing. I just thought about it, how could I be so bold?" No one dares to commit murder in the palace, except King Lin. But I heard that King Lin has always been quiet, and you have no contact with him. How could he suddenly attack you? Akui, how could you offend him? , he is the most favored prince now."

King Lin was quiet, and Luo Kui just smiled. No matter whether he had offended him or not, he would not let him go. Over the years, when had he ever been truly quiet? It was just that he was so careful that he could not find a chance to strike. Forget it, she pondered and spoke slowly: "If you say I have offended him, I have indeed offended him. A few months ago, Huang Xuan from the Ministry of Punishment went to Yongzhou to investigate a corruption case. I felt that he was a rare good official, so I made arrangements. The men left behind by his father followed him all the way. The case has been resolved recently. But it happened that Huang Xuan's biological mother died, and he, Ding You, resigned. All the officials in Yongzhou were members of King Lin, and there were many officials in the court. Being involved in it, it is not impossible that he would take advantage of me to serve in the palace and attack me. I think Prince Lin is definitely involved in all this." She deliberately concealed the fact that the prince was poisoned, and concealed the relationship between herself and the prince. She couldn't tell whether she couldn't trust Jingmo or was worried about his safety. In short, she didn't give her heart to him. Deep down in her heart, she never regarded Jingmo as someone to rely on.

Jingmo was slightly startled. He didn't know the details of Luokui very well. He just thought it was the trouble caused by her meddling. He immediately took her hand, half complaining and half worried, and gently advised: "You Seeing as you are nosy, if Huang Xuan couldn't find anything or died in Yongzhou, Prince Lin wouldn't be so angry and attack you."

Luokui thought for a long time and felt that she should make it clear to Jingmo so that he could be on guard. After all, he was now in Qingzhou, and it was difficult to stay alone in the whirlpool. She considered it and said: "Jingmo, you were in Yangzhou before. I don’t understand what’s going on here. Now that you have come to Qingzhou and it’s been a long time, I will tell you slowly and you will understand. These things are actually not as dangerous as you think. Just be careful in the future. Already."

Jingmo strongly disagreed with Luokui's statement and shook his head repeatedly: "Once this case comes out, there will definitely be a bloody storm in the court. I don't know how many officials will lose their official titles and their futures. Think about it, you If you cut off someone else's way of making money, they will naturally find a way to cut off your way of life. Risking your own life to fight for other people's wealth is like an egg hitting a rock, how can you survive?"

Luokui raised her eyes, with a desolate look in her eyes: "Those corrupt people should not have stood in the temple. Scraping the bones to treat the poison will naturally be painful, but after the pain is over, the clear sky will be clear during the Qingming Dynasty. This A little pain is nothing."

Jingmo shook his head and looked at her with burning eyes: "There are so many corrupt people in today's officialdom, how can they be managed? Akui, listen to me, don't you care about other things in the future and live a stable life?" .”

The blood wrapped in the bitter medicine that had just been swallowed surged into the throat. The bitterness was extremely painful, and the bitter heart ached. Such words were shocking, like ice crystals on nine cold days, cold and hard, piercing the heart, making people feel sad. Her heart became colder by the second. Luo Kui put down the white porcelain and pastel tureen firmly. The thin porcelain and the chicken wing wood table touched each other coldly. Her eyes were slightly cold: "Nothing, how could this happen when people's livelihood is so difficult?" It’s just idle business.”

Jingmo noticed the slight anger and unkindness in her tone, and his palms became increasingly sweaty, but he refused to give in: "As long as we live a good life, it doesn't matter whether they are in trouble or not, why don't you care, Yun Is the state of Chu about to be destroyed?"

Luokui took a sip of cold tea and realized that Jingmo's words were even colder than the cold tea. The tenderness and sweetness that had been warmed by him just now were completely offset by these words. Feeling desolate in his heart, he tilted his head and looked at him: "Of course the country will not be destroyed, but I will never sit idly by and ignore it."

"Akui, what's more important is other people's wealth or our survival." Jingmo took Luokui's hand and persuaded her earnestly.

With a haze in her heart and an unbearable bitterness in her mouth, Luokui secretly made a cup of honey water, stirred it and drank it: "If you live a life of mediocrity, there is no point in living."

Jingmo shook his head: "Ah Kui, can't you understand that as long as you stay alive, you can't do anything."

Luokui forced herself to soften her heart, soften her words, and soften her body even more. She looked deeply at Jingmo with cold eyes: "Don't worry, Jingmo, life is of course important. I will be more careful in my actions in the future."

Mr. Qu's wife died young, and without the restraint of his wife, he took in six concubines in a row. In addition to the maids and wives in the house, there are many female relatives in the house, and there are endless rumors. Today, What was talked about the most was the eldest girl's right and wrong. I heard that she had been sneaking out of the house all day long to run wild, and today she was finally blocked by the eldest young master, who sneaked back and locked her in the boudoir.

The female family members are all waiting to see the eldest girl's joke. You must know that the Qu family has strict rules and the female family members are not allowed to leave the second door at will, but she is an exception. Relying on Master Qu's favor and the eldest son's connivance, a

He ran away without a trace without paying attention.

As soon as Qu Lian returned home, she happily told Qu Yuanshen that she wanted to accompany Jingmo to Beishan. She originally thought that Qu Yuanshen would agree to this, but she didn't expect her brother, who had always been obedient to her, to hear about this.

But she was so angry that she jumped to her feet, and locked her boudoir tightly with a copper lock and a chain. No matter how much she cried and smashed things inside, the maids, wives, and servants were not allowed to come near.

At this time, Qu Yuanshen didn't have the slightest bit of calmness. He was extremely frightened and angry. He was also worried about her safety, and he was also afraid that if his father knew about it, there would be complications. Even though Qu Lian kept crying and howling inside, he insisted.

He roared heartily: "No, no, going to Beishan is extremely difficult and dangerous. I will never let you go."

Qu Lian cried sadly while holding on to the crack of the door. Her tears wet her clothes: "Brother, brother, please, please let me go. I will bring a few more followers with me. Everything will be fine."

Brother, trust me, nothing will happen to you."

Qu Yuanshen saw her tears through the crack in the door. His heart had been softened by her crying, and he could hardly restrain himself from letting her out. When he thought of the danger and consequences of this matter, he shuddered hard and continued.

Shaking his head: "Little sister, it's not that I don't feel sorry for you. You are young and ignorant. How do you know the dangers here?"

Qu Lian's slender fingers squeezed out from the crack of the door, trying to hold Qu Yuanshen's hand: "Brother, I know, I know, they have made enemies with others, what's the point of making enemies? Do we, the Qu family, have many enemies?

,Brother, I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid.”

"Enmity." Qu Yuanshen smiled bitterly in his heart. It is not as simple as enmity. What kind of hatred can drive people to death. He said with pity: "Little sister, tell me the truth, why do you have to

Go along, you and the princess have only known each other for a few years, and the friendship is only superficial. I think it is not enough to be together for life and death."

Qu Lian choked on her words and pondered for a long time before turning slightly red and stammering: "I, I, I want to be with Jing Mo."

A long sigh passed through the crack in the door. Although Qu Yuan had never met Jingmo before, he was no stranger to the Jing family of Sanbo Mansion. He had long heard that this eldest son of Sanbo Mansion had a close relationship with the Shui family of Guannei Hou Mansion.

The intricate entanglements are not just as simple as a marriage contract. Qu Lian is so naive and careless, but she gets involved in such an endless grudge. The outcome is obvious, and it is difficult to save it. The door lock jingles and jingles.

There was a sound, Qu Yuanshen opened the door suddenly, shook his head and sighed: "Qu Lian, I think you don't know yet, he is engaged to the princess, and it's useless no matter how infatuated you are."

"Engagement, do they really have an engagement? Isn't that engagement just a joke by Jingmo?" Qu Lian felt that the flesh at the tip of her heart was torn apart deeply, and she was dripping with cold sweat from the pain. She listened to Jingmo
