Did she really attack Xue'er?" The third prince was completely disappointed with the step princess. He originally thought that since he was not in the palace, she could think about the child in her belly and at least stay in the palace to raise the baby well. But he did not expect that,
She would take advantage of her absence to attack Bei Mingxue. She knew that Xue'er was very important to him, but she still did this.
Murong Xi faintly saw murderous intent in the third prince's eyes, but she didn't have the heart to feel the third prince's mood. If it weren't for Bai Lichen, she would have torn the step princess into pieces.
"She tampered with the spices in Bei Mingxue's house. If it weren't for Bai Lichen, Bei Mingxue would have almost gone to see the King of Hell." Murong Xi said.
The third prince breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, in his current situation, Bei Mingxue could not help him at all. His father had already understood everything, and not only arranged for people to guard his palace, but also the soldiers and horses outside the city.
He has long been tamed by his father's people. But what he wants now is not the Bei Mingxue who can help him seize the throne. What he wants now is just that his children can live a stable life in the future. He was caught by his father.
After that, his mentality changed.
As my father said, he is really not worthy of the throne. He can't even control his own backyard, so how can he be a wise king?
However, according to what Murong Xi meant, his Xue'er had already been rescued by Bai Lichen, so why did he still need to inquire about the origin of that woman? However, seeing a chill flash in Murong Xi's eyes, he did not continue to ask, but
After taking a sip of tea, he leisurely talked about what happened back then.
"I still remember that year, in order to get my father's approval, I personally went to the border of Nanzhao to spy on the news..."
In fact, there was nothing strange about the encounter between the Third Prince and the Step-Princess, let alone an adventure. Instead, when he was preparing to go to northern Xinjiang, he met the dying Step-Princess in the woods. Logically speaking, a weak person
How a woman could suddenly appear in the mountains is inexplicable in itself. The third prince could be regarded as inheriting the suspicion of the Northern Emperor and was suspicious of the woman in front of him. However, seeing the frail look of the step princess made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't bear it, so he helped her up and leaned against the roots of the tree. When he saw the appearance of the princess, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
After he gave the step princess a few drinks of water, the step princess woke up. The first thing she told him after waking up was that the step princess actually lived in a village in the mountains. That village had never contacted the outside world, but he didn't know why.
, everyone in the village was seriously ill, and even she couldn't avoid it, so she desperately wanted to go down the mountain to the city to find a doctor.
There was actually a doctor in the village, but because the doctor was also seriously ill, the situation in the village was so bad that she had to go down the mountain despite her illness.
The third prince believed her words and wanted to go to the village to have a look. However, the step princess's condition could not be delayed, so he had to return to the city to treat the step princess first. The doctor took the step princess's pulse and felt that the step princess's pulse condition was very strange.
I can't say anything. But I don't know how the doctor treated the step princess. The step princess was much more energetic than before.
For the sake of the people in the village, the step princess asked the doctor to go to the mountain. Originally, the doctor was unwilling to follow him into the mountain, but the third prince gave him more money, so the doctor agreed.
It wasn't until he saw the village halfway up the mountain that the Third Prince really believed that there were really people living in the mountains.
After entering the village, they found that the village was lifeless. The third prince felt a little weird, but the step princess ran around the entire village and found that all the people in the village were dead.
The third prince only remembered that the doctor ran out of the village in panic, only saying something about burning the village down, and then ran down the mountain. The doctor actually didn't even ask for the consultation fee, and ran away without a trace.
The third prince listened to the doctor's words and set fire to the whole village. The step princess knelt down and kowtowed outside the village, her frail face making people even more pitiful.
The third prince then had the idea of taking away the step princess. The step princess originally did not want to go back with him. She was an unlucky person. The people in the village did not know what kind of disease they had, and no one was alive. They did not know whether it was some kind of plague.
, if it is really a plague, he will also be infected, and even infect others. How can such a person go home with him?
Of course, the step princess fainted while crying. When she woke up, she was already on her way back to Northern Xinjiang. The third prince took good care of her along the way. When he saw her wake up, he knew what she was most worried about.
What was it? He immediately told her that he had already called a doctor, and the doctor had already diagnosed that the girl was just frightened and had not contracted any strange disease.
"That's what happened. Then I took her back to the palace. When we arrived at the palace, she was almost healthy. What are you doubting?" the third prince asked in confusion.
Murong Xi had a headache. Could it be said that no matter how smart a person is, he would be confused when seeing a beauty? This step princess obviously appeared in the mountain on purpose. I don’t know if she was waiting for the third prince in the mountain, or for any noble person.
Woolen cloth?
"Third Prince, before the village was burned down, did you not see the people in those villages?" Murong Xi tried to ask.
She believed that the third prince was so suspicious, how could he not doubt the step princess's words at all?
So, the third prince said, "The doctor at that time suddenly ran out of the room and said he wanted to burn down the village. Naturally, I was a little worried about such a serious matter. The people in the village were suffering from an epidemic. Let me tell you.
In other words, I also had the intention to kill that woman at that time. After all, I was worried that if she ran away from the village, she might have been infected. However, I don't know why, I never killed her, and I even felt sorry for her." The third prince said.
At the end of the sentence, he showed a very embarrassed expression.
Sure enough, Murong Xi felt that the matter was not that simple. I am afraid that when the step princess appeared, she had poisoned the third prince, or she had lowered her head. Otherwise, even if the step princess conquered the country, she would not let the third prince.
Are you so obsessed? Maybe it would be better in northern Xinjiang, but the third prince is working on the border of Nanzhao, how could he be so confused?
Therefore, Murong Xi remembered the strangeness when he diagnosed the step princess's pulse in the morning. No wonder the step princess could not give birth even though she was pregnant. Presumably, even without Ji Limo this time, even if she took Baili Chen's fetal medicine,
The child born to the step princess will not be healthy either.
"Third Prince, do you think it's strange? Even if you know that she has poisoned your children and your princess, even though you hate her and want to kill her, you still can't bear it, right?" Murong?
Xi asked rhetorically.
The third prince was very strange, because what Murong Xi said was right. This feeling was indeed wonderful. He had been doting on the step princess for so many years. But when he knew that the step princess had assassinated the princess and wanted to harm Xueer, he
There was indeed a flash of murderous intent, but in fact there was still some reluctance in my heart, but I didn't expect Murong Xi to know this feeling.
Therefore, while confused, he looked at Murong Xi.
Murong Xi shrugged, and then did not speak. She walked up to him and put her hand on the third prince's wrist. After scoffing, she said, "I'm really right. You were bewitched by the step princess."
Gu, naturally he has always been obsessed with her. It seems that she is no ordinary woman, I am afraid that there is no one alive in the village."
"What do you mean?" The third prince was really shocked when he saw Murong Xi diagnosing his pulse.
"Congratulations to the third prince for falling under the love spell more than ten years ago. You should be lucky that Bei Mingxue never attacked the step princess, otherwise, your life would have been lost a long time ago." Murong Xi said with gloating.
"Poisoned? That woman poisoned me?" the third prince said in disbelief.
Murong Xi shrugged and did not speak.
However, the third prince looked at Murong Xi curiously. Murong Xi could actually diagnose the pulse. Could it be that she also had medical skills and could remove poison? This Murong Xi made him look at him with admiration. At first, he thought that Murong Xi was just a vase, but he
My guess was completely wrong. This girl is not a vase. Maybe Xueer's plan never succeeded at all. This girl was not rescued by Pluto at all. It seems that the only way to ask her about what happened in the woods is
.
Murong Xi saw that the third prince was lost and said, "Can't you believe it? The reason why I asked you about her origins is because she killed Baili who had been taking care of Bei Mingxue in order to continue poisoning Bei Mingxue.
.She poisoned Baili, and only she can cure this poison, so of course I have to find out her origin."
The third prince knew that he was speechless, and said with some disappointment, "I only know so much about her. And the village has been burned down long ago, and it has been so many years. I really don't know what she is."
people."
In fact, after listening to his words, Murong Xi roughly guessed the origin of this woman. But what made her most curious was how her relatives escaped from the crime and escaped.
However, seeing the third prince like this, she couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, she finally said, "The step princess cannot keep the child in her belly. Even if she didn't commit suicide, she would not have successfully given birth to the child."
The third prince did not react to Murong Xi's words for a moment, and finally caught the word "the child cannot keep" in Murong Xi's words.
His eyes widened and he asked anxiously, "What do you mean, she had a miscarriage? Is it you..."
"Hey, don't you understand what I said? It's her own death, so what does it have to do with us? She is always anxious in the house, and she is always thinking about how to attack Bei Mingxue. What do you think about this pregnant woman?
Okay? Besides, as far as her body is concerned, even if she gives birth to a child, the child will not survive." Murong Xi said contemptuously.
"Why?" After the third prince heard Murong Xi talk about poison poison before, his intuition told him that it must be related to this. However, he still wanted to make sure.
"The so-called love poison means that a man and a woman can be poisoned by it. If you fall under the love poison, the step-princess will naturally not be able to avoid it. And this kind of poison is very harmful to the person who casts the poison. Moreover, it is not easy to get pregnant. Even if
If you are pregnant, after the fetus is formed, it will be eaten by the poisonous insects." Murong Xi shrugged and did not continue.
Come to think of it, without her having to say anything, the third prince would have guessed what would happen to the step-princess even if she gave birth to a child? It was simply unimaginable.
"It's nothing, let's leave first. If you think of anything, tell the secret guards and they will notify the old man." Murong Xi turned around and pulled Feng Mingye to prepare to leave.
The third prince did not mention the step princess again, but asked, "Is Xue'er okay?"
Murong Xi turned around, looked at the third prince, and said, "Well, Bei Mingxue is not in the palace now, she is with us. However, because of the poison on Bai Lichen, the step princess was also taken away by us.
But don’t worry, at least now I won’t kill the step princess.”
Murong Xi walked out and only heard the third prince's voice: "Now I don't care how long I can live. I just hope that my children can be well."
