Chapter 55
The air after the rain is particularly fresh, and the trees on the roadside are also washed by the rain, making the green color look graceful.
Luo Jiaojiao looked at the bright sky outside the window, but her mood was very bad. Bo Langjun's ruthless words hurt her heart.
The feeling of heartache made Luo Jiaojiao's breathing difficult.
Luo Jiaojiao, who has always been cheerful and optimistic, has lost the happiness of the past. She sat in front of the window like a cat that was tired of her master and stared at everything outside, but her eyes were empty.
Guer, who came to deliver lunch with a food box, told Luo Jiaojiao that the princess was in a bad mood and did not like to eat.
Luo Jiaojiao asked Guer to take care of Xuan'er for food and ran out of Xiangxin Garden by herself.
Luo Tianer, who was pregnant, was very angry at the rumors in the palace about her girl Luo Jiaojiao. Although the King of Dai had already investigated and dealt with several gossiping palace ladies, she was still very frustrated and she was so restless that she was restless in bed and food.
The King of Dai went to Bo Ji's Anqing Hall and saw Bo Langjun drinking tea there.
When Bo Langjun saw that King Dai was coming, he quickly got up and saluted. Bo Ji's close maid Yan'er told the King Dai that her mother was taking a nap.
The King of Dai asked Bo Langjun to investigate the matter thoroughly! Bo Langjun had no choice but to order someone to arrest Dou's maid Che Li'er.
The one who started this matter was indeed Che Li'er. After she and Zhao Duwei joined forces, she told the strategy of poisoning the princess to kill two birds with one stone.
Zhao Duwei admired Che Lier's plan very much. He felt that even if the plan was not completely successful, it completely disrupted the hearts of the King of Dai and alienated his relationship with Empress Lu, represented by Dou.
Che Li'er tried another skill, trying to use the impulse of the princess's sister Luo Jiaojiao to kill Dou. Therefore, she rumored that Luo Jiaojiao was framed, making her mistakenly believe that the person who deliberately slandered her was Dou.
If Bo Langjun hadn't made a fuss about her, she might have succeeded.
Luo Jiaojiao met her sister Luo Tianer. The two of them decided that except for Dou, how could anyone dare to do this?
Bo Langjun tried Che Lier in the palace eunuch. Che Lier was stubborn at first, but she couldn't stand the torture there and thought of a way to seek liberation.
At this time, Luo Jiaojiao learned from her sister that Bo Langjun had captured Dou's maid Che Li'er and was in the Escort Court for questioning, so she hurried to break into the torture room of the Escort Court.
Che Li'er caught a glimpse of Luo Jiaojiao, so she deliberately said that she was not favored by Dou, so she poisoned the princess. She also said that she and the princess were good sisters in the imperial palace, and everything she did was for Dou.
"Does Dou know?" Luo Jiao walked towards Che Lier in anger.
"Even if she knows, she won't say anything!" Che Li'er said deliberately.
"What are you doing here?" Bo Langjun grabbed Luo Jiaojiao and walked out.
"Let go! Do you still want to cover up the suspect?" Luo Jiaojiao wanted to break free from her arm and went back to continue asking about the truth.
"I can't believe everything about her words!" Bo Langjun's hand tightly grabbed Luo Jiaojiao's arm.
"Not good! The suspect Che Li'er bit his tongue and committed suicide! She said she didn't want to implicate her master!" An eunuch ran over in panic and reported.
"It's not enough to succeed!" Bo Langjun let go of Luo Jiaojiao's arm and returned to the torture room to check what was going on.
"Hmph!" Luo Jiaojiao stomped her feet, turned around and headed for Dou's Jixiangju.
Dou was walking back and forth in the Jixiangju Tea Room because Che Li'er was caught.
"Master! You should find a way to save Che Li'er!" Chun'er, who was unaware of it, was still worried about Che Li'er!
"Madam Dou! Did you instruct your maid Che Li'er to poison my sister?" Luo Jiao came to Dou's face and pointed at the tip of her nose and asked.
"No!" Dou knew something was wrong when he saw Luo Jiaojiao breaking in with an angry look on her face, but she still insisted on responding calmly.
"She is dead! You will definitely not recognize it!" Luo Jiaojiao bullied her body and pinched Dou's neck.
"If you kill me, your sister, the children in her belly, the people of Dai, and the people of Dai Kingdom will not survive!" Dou warned Luo Jiaojiao.
Luo Jiaojiao is not stupid. She knows that Dou's words are definitely not exaggerating.
"I can't kill you, but I can destroy your flowery face to avenge you for poisoning my sister!" Luo Jiaojiao quickly pulled out the golden hairpin from her hair bun.
"Xiao Niang Luo! My master is not a villain! She never wanted to compete for favor with your sister, and she had no intention of harming her!"
Chun'er first heard that Che Li'er was dead, and she was stunned! It was not until Luo Jiaojiao threatened to ruin Dou's face that she grabbed her arm and cried.
"Luo Xiaoniang! It was because of your recklessness that I lost the opportunity to ask for an antidote for your sister! You are still causing trouble here!" Bo Langjun's words shocked Luo Jiaojiao. She turned her head and looked at Bo Langjun's face that was almost distorted by her. She was stunned.
Dou took the opportunity to push Luo Jiaojiao away. Bo Langjun quickly stepped forward and pinched Luo Jiaojiao's wrist.
With a "clang" sound, Luo Jiaojiao's wrist hurts, and the golden hairpin fell to the ground.
"Che Li'er is dead! Isn't she still alive? Isn't it the same if she wants the antidote?" Luo Jiaojiao asked as she looked at Bo Langjun's close face.
"Why don't you understand? If she poisons your sister, she won't be able to survive by herself! She will also implicate the subjects of the entire Dai Kingdom!" Bo Langjun's eyes showed a look of disappointment.
"Why are you so sure that she won't think that you don't dare to kill her?" Luo Jiaojiao still refused to believe that poisoning her sister had nothing to do with Dou.
"I was in the imperial city with you! If I hadn't explained my strong relationship with the Empress in advance, let her be sure to protect Dou's family! If King Dai was not a filial person, how could Dou's family have their lives? Do you know that she was almost killed by King Dai?" Bo Langjun was so angry that he pushed Luo Jiaojiao down.
"I don't believe it! I just don't believe it!" Luo Jiaojiao ran out crying.
"You're not going to chase after me?" Dou whispered to Bo Langjun, who was already in a state of anger.
Bo Langjun closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then chased after him.
"Listen to me! Che Lier is the person who is placed by the Zhao family next to Empress Lu! This time Zhao Duwei came to Daiguo to communicate with Che Lier!" Bo Langjun grabbed Luo Jiaojiao's shoulder and said.
This time, Luo Jiaojiao understood everything completely, but it was too late. She beat Bo Langjun's chest and complained with tears in her mouth why he didn't tell her the truth earlier.
"Okay! It's all my fault! Stop crying!" Bo Langjun hugged Luo Jiaojiao in his arms and let him vent his emotions.
Luo Jiaojiao was tired of crying, so she slowly pushed Bo Langjun away and said, "I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life! Stay away from me in the future, so as not to harm you!"
Bo Langjun wanted to step forward to comfort Luo Jiaojiao, but she ran away.
Bo Langjun saw her running towards Xiangxinyuan and stopped chasing him. He had more important things to do.
Zhao Duwei was drinking downstairs of an inn. He heard the guests at the next table talking about the palace maid Che Lier who committed suicide after being caught for spreading rumors. He knew that there was something strange about this and was afraid of getting angry, so he left Daiguo overnight and returned to the imperial city.
Bo Langjun received the news that Zhao Duwei had left Dai Kingdom and went to the imperial city, and a big stone in his heart finally landed on the ground.
