PFC Chapter 333 Did he flee from the crime?
Chapter 333 Did he flee from the crime?
In Prince Qi's Mansion, Qin Zhaolie returned to his main courtyard. He was tortured by the bone-gnawing and heart-burning pain all night long. The pain was only slightly relieved at dawn, but he was still unable to move.
The court physician examined and tested the patient again and again, and concluded that it was poison, but he had no idea what the poison was.
Qin Zhaolie's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He had been howling and screaming all night, and his voice was already hoarse. He lay on the couch and asked, "How is it? Do you know how to solve it?"
The court doctor wiped his sweat and whispered, "I am ashamed that I can't figure out what kind of poison this is..."
"Some, some look like..."
Qin Zhaolie couldn't stand hearing this kind of hesitancy:
"Say something quickly!"
The old doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "It looks like frostbite, but not completely like..."
When Qin Zhaolie heard this name, he felt dizzy and heartbroken.
How could it be Frost Blaze! How could it be Frost Blaze!
What he gave to Qin Yuechuan was the last one in the world, how could he get it again!
And the main reason for choosing Frostfire was that there was no antidote for this poison.
Is it Qin Yuechuan? Or Xu Mingxi?
Qin Yuechuan was already busy taking care of his own poison.
Xu Mingxi's whereabouts are unknown again. Did he flee for fear of punishment?
Who is this woman on behalf of?
Thinking of this, he cursed again in anger:
"What the hell! If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. What does that mean? Can't you even confirm that it is a poison?"
"I am old, I am terrified!"
The old doctor knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please give me a few more days. I will study it carefully..."
"I will give you three days. If there is no other result after three days, I will chop off your head!"
"Yes……"
The old doctor complained bitterly that it would take thirty days, let alone three days, to find an antidote for this kind of poison!
There is no way for now, we can only take it one step at a time.
Qin Zhaolie called out again, "Have you found Xu Mingxi?"
The guard at the door responded, "Not yet, Your Majesty."
No! I don’t know! Can’t find it!
Since the poisoning, not a single thing has turned out to his satisfaction! It's all useless garbage!
Qin Zhaolie wanted to raise his hand and smash the tea bowl in front of him, but after being tortured all night, he didn't even have the strength to raise his arm. He could only endure the pain in his throat and curse: "Asshole! Go find it quickly!"
The guard responded and left in a hurry. Little did he know that Xu Mingxi, whom he had been trying so hard to find all over Kyoto, was right there in Prince Qi's Mansion, in the bridal chamber of his own prince.
Because it was dark under the lamp, Xu Mingxi had been lying quietly in the closet without being discovered by anyone.
Xu Yuqiong slipped in quietly when no one was around, opened the cabinet door, dragged out Xu Mingxi, opened an exquisite small snuff bottle, shook it lightly at her nose twice, and quickly put it into her sleeve, waiting for her to wake up.
Xu Mingxi slowly opened his eyes, not knowing what was going on.
She only remembered that last night, she seemed to have eaten some snacks with Xu Yuqiong, and they both suddenly fell to the ground. She couldn't remember what happened afterwards.
She rubbed her forehead and moaned softly, "Sister, where is this?"
"What happened to us last night?"
Xu Yuqiong had already prepared her words, and said with a wronged and sad expression: "I don't know who knocked us out last night. When I woke up, I was on my sister's wedding bed, and Prince Qi... I really don't know what to do..."
Xu Mingxi didn't care whether Qin Zhaolie touched Xu Yuqiong or not. She had long lost all feelings for him.
He comforted her expressionlessly: "I know it's not my sister's fault, and she is also the victim. What happened next?"
Xu Yuqiong sobbed and continued, "Sister, do you know that Prince Qi has been poisoned?"
Now Xu Mingxi was really interested. There was a little light in his eyes and his tone became higher unconsciously: "Poisoned? What kind of poison?"
"It seems, it seems to be called something, Frostblaze..."
Xu Yuqiong said uncertainly.
"Frost Blaze?!"
Xu Mingxi's lips parted in surprise. Isn't that what Qin Yuechuan was stained with?
How could it happen? To Qin Zhaolie?
She wanted to ask if Qin Zhaolie was dead, but she felt that revealing her thoughts too thoroughly, so she changed her mind and said, "Is he... okay?"
"It is said that it is just a resemblance, and you will suffer some pain, but your life is not in danger for the time being."
"That's it..."
Xu Mingxi stared and sighed: That's such a pity.
This poison was indeed obtained by her with the help of Qin Zhaolie. It was said that it was the last one in the world. How could another one appear? Could it be Qin Yuechuan...
Is this Qin Yuechuan's revenge against Qin Zhaolie?
Until now, Xu Mingxi is still not sure whether there is an antidote for Frostburn.
And the extent to which the "Divine Doctor Xue" had treated him seemed to have never been solved until the very end of his previous life...
But I have probably already made up my mind as to who wrote it.
Not earlier, not later, but yesterday, the day of her wedding.
Impartial, it will happen in the wedding night...
Doesn't he know that in this case, she would be the biggest suspect?
He actually just regarded her as a "soldier" who could be used to escape punishment, and did not care about their old friendship at all.
Oh, come to think of it. From the day he returned the purse, he had said that they would have nothing to do with each other anymore and would be like strangers.
Now he was plotting to have her marry Qin Zhaolie.
How can a stranger not take advantage of you?
Xu Mingxi was so absorbed in his thoughts that his five fingers unconsciously clenched tightly, and the bright red Kou Dan embedded into his flesh.
In this case, from now on, everything will be as he wishes and it will depend on one's ability.
Xu Mingxi figured it out. The stuffiness in his chest gradually subsided, and his mood gradually calmed down. Before he could think about what to do next, the guards of the palace suddenly shouted outside the door: "She is here! She is in the palace! Take her away, take her to see Prince Qi!"
Xu Mingxi turned around and saw two guards walking quickly towards her. She understood that Qin Zhaolie suspected her because of the poison.
"I am Princess Qi. I don't need you to hold me hostage. I can leave on my own."
"Lead the way!"
Xu Mingxi held his head high, as if he was going to die, and left with the guards.
Xu Yuqiong thought about it and followed.
Xu Mingxi recognized the path the guard took her to; it was Qin Zhaolie's main courtyard, "Zhaomingyuan".
As soon as he stepped into the main courtyard, Qin Zhaolie asked him, "How dare you come back?"
He had recovered some strength and leaned back on the porcelain pillow on the bed.
Xu Mingxi was certain that if he was able to summon up his internal strength, he would have thrown the porcelain pillow under him over.
But for now, if she wants to achieve her goal, she needs to survive in Prince Qi's Mansion first.
Isn't it just acting? It has been performed in Prince Rong's Mansion before. Now it is just another performance in Prince Qi's Mansion.
She tried her best to act calm and asked in confusion, "I don't understand what Prince Qi is saying. I have been in the palace the whole time. How can I leave?"
Qin Zhaolie sneered: "Since you didn't leave, where did you go last night?"
"I don't know either. Last night, I was knocked unconscious and thrown into a closet. I just woke up this morning."
"You were also knocked unconscious? You are the princess of Prince Qi's mansion, why did they knock you unconscious?"
Xu Mingxi felt a little aggrieved: "It is precisely because I am the Princess of Qi. Perhaps their target is not me, but Prince Qi."
"Me? They're targeting me..."
Qin Zhaolie was about to blurt out what he had to say, but then he realized that the poison he was now in was the result of his infection last night.
"Princess Qi and Prince Qi are closely related. Perhaps she was worried that I would find out and tell Prince Qi, so she temporarily knocked me out and took me away to prevent their plans from being disrupted."
Xu Yuqiong at the door raised her eyebrows. She never thought that Xu Mingxi was not particularly stupid. He still had some brains, so this made sense.
Qin Zhaolie's anger subsided a little, and he felt that what Xu Mingxi said made some sense.
He did not know the secret of Xu Mingxi's rebirth. In his eyes, Xu Mingxi was still the arrogant and stupid second lady of the Xu family.
Qin Zhaolie realized that perhaps he was a little impulsive. Xu Mingxi had always loved him, and now that they were married, how could she have the motive to harm him.
Although I still have some doubts, my wariness has been dispelled by 70% or 80%.
He took a breath and said, "Xi'er makes sense."
Xu Mingxi hated hearing this name from Qin Zhaolie's mouth.
She couldn't refuse now, so she could only suppress her nausea and force a smile.
Xu Mingxi thought of something, and after struggling for a while, he pursed his lips and said, "I just heard that Prince Qi was infected with... Frost Blaze?"
She asked Qin Zhaolie tentatively, carefully observing his expression. As expected, Qin Zhaolie's face, which had calmed down a little, became a little distorted when he heard this, and he bit his back teeth with a "crunch" sound: "Indeed..."
His eyes were somewhat unfriendly again, and he looked up at her. "What do you think?"
Xu Mingxi still smiled and said, "Prince Qi also knows that I was forced to get along with Prince Rong for a period of time. At that time, I was like a free man in Prince Rong's mansion, so I also got some news about Shuang Chi..."
Qin Zhaolie perked up and sat up straight. He held her arm in a friendly manner and placed his five fingers on the back of her hand. "Oh? Xi'er, do you have any discoveries to share with me?"
How could he forget that he once instigated Xu Mingxi to agree to Qin Yuechuan. Qin Yuechuan was not on guard against her at that time, and people who get close to her should have some unexpected gains.
Xu Mingxi endured the discomfort and did not pull his hand away. He said with a smile, "Although I don't know how to detoxify, and there has been no progress in detoxification, but I once got a prescription for pain relief in his study."
"I don't know what the effect will be, but we can give it a try. What do you think, Prince Qi?"
She didn't know medicine, nor did she know that the Frost and Fire Poison was ever-changing and the prescription would change accordingly. She could only use the specious prescription for the time being to show her sincerity and dispel his doubts.
If she was not pressed to stabilize her position, turn the situation around, and regain Qin Zhaolie's trust, she would never give up this prescription that had any chance of relieving pain until her death.
It wasn't to cooperate with Qin Yuechuan's plan, but simply because he didn't want Qin Zhaolie to feel good!
It would be better to hurt him to death!
Qin Zhaolie was overjoyed. This was the best news he had heard today. There was some genuine eagerness in his eyes: "Xi'er, you are really my good Xi'er! You are worthy of being my princess."
"I was rude to you just now. I was just angry and didn't mean any other thing."
He wanted to get closer to Xu Mingxi and hold her in his arms, but Xu Mingxi refused calmly: "Your Highness is in poor health, so you shouldn't move too much. You'd better take good care of yourself."
Qin Zhaolie followed her instructions and lay back on the couch. Thinking about what happened last night, he spoke in a discussion tone, "Yesterday, I was too drunk and was tricked into mistaking your sister for you... You see..."
"Your Majesty is the master."
To him, Xu Mingxi was only an enemy. Since her mind was no longer on him, it naturally did not matter who he married, as long as she was still the princess.
"Well, my Xi'er is kind-hearted and reasonable, so let's make her a concubine."
Xu Mingxi said calmly: "I will listen to your Majesty."
After giving a few more perfunctory instructions, Xu Mingxi turned and left "Zhaomingyuan".
Looking back at the plaque with the inscription "Zhaomingyuan", Xu Mingxi sneered.
This was what she asked Qin Zhaolie to change when she was full of love for him. It was composed of one character from each of their names. At that time, she had great hopes for this courtyard.
Looking back now, I just feel the irony.
I was deceived by the false love on the surface for so long.
The things that I desperately pursued in my previous life, now I find that they are just a bunch of filth in my hands.
What you discard, no matter how brilliant and dazzling, no longer belongs to you.
Xu Mingxi looked up at the sky, spread out his five fingers, and let the sunlight flow through his fingertips.
He murmured, "This is God's retribution to me..."
Those who play with sincerity are destined not to receive sincerity in return.
She is, and so is Qin Zhaolie.
She remembered that Xu Xinyue once asked her what was the difference between her and Qin Zhaolie. She thought it was ridiculous at the time, but now it seems that what he said was true.
Ah!
Lower your palms and look forward.
The past cannot be pursued.
All things in the past are like death yesterday; all things in the future are like birth today.
Her journey is not over yet.
