Qi Kuan's words not only made Liu Qi panic and uneasy, but also reminded him who caused the current situation. He immediately stared at Qi Kuan angrily and said: "Why do you want to lock me up here? If you want to accuse me, you should
This is the first time someone has been accused of a crime."
Qi Kuan said calmly: "Have you forgotten? This is what Concubine Yi meant."
"Master..." Liu Qi murmured and repeated, and then said excitedly: "I want to see the master, please let me go!"
Qi Kuan came close to his face and said, "Our hands have been weak recently. Sometimes we can't even hold the paper firmly. As we talked, we seem to be a little weak now. You said this fire folding piece fell on
What will happen to you? Will it burn a hole?"
Liu Qi heard the threat in his words and quickly shut up, not daring to offend Qi Kuan at this time. After a while, he said: "What do you want?"
"Open your mouth!" After Liu Qi subconsciously opened his mouth, he threw the clay balls in his hand into his mouth, then covered his mouth with one hand and patted Liu Qi's back hard with the other, forcing him to
Swallowed what was in his mouth.
After Qi loosened his hands, Liu Qi covered his neck and coughed dryly, then hurriedly asked: "What did you feed me? Why does it smell like mud?"
"Of course it's a good thing. It's prepared by the Emperor's doctor of the Song Dynasty using soil planted with gallbladder grass and other medicines. If you don't take the antidote within a day, you will die of intestinal perforation and rotten stomach."
"Did you eat poison for me?!" Liu Qi turned pale in horror, clasping his throat hard to spit out what he had eaten. Qi Kuan endured the secret laughter in his heart, untied the rope on his body, and threw the money bag in
He said with a sneer: "Don't be so nervous. Take this thing and give it to Concubine Yi, and she will naturally save you."
"What is here?" Liu Qi said as he was about to untie the money bag. Qi Kuan said coldly: "If you open it now, you will be dead, and even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to save you."
Being frightened by him, Liu Qi didn't dare to move anymore. He held his money bag and said cautiously: "Then can I leave now?"
Qi Kuan glanced at him and said, "Let's go, we will wipe your urine if you don't have any. You are really looking for trouble." He got angry and kicked Liu Qi twice.
Liu Qi dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. He hurriedly left Qianqing Palace with his money bag. Halfway through, he saw that no one was following him, so he quickly opened the money bag. Judging from what Qi Kuan just said, the antidote was most likely inside.
, even if there is no antidote, there should be a prescription, but when I look through the moonlight, there is nothing inside except a piece of white paper.
Liu Qi turned the white paper over and over several times, but still could not find a word or a half, which made him confused and nervous, fearing that he would not know when the poison had taken hold.
He thought about it, and at this time, he could only go to Chonghua Palace first. When he got there, Huang was still awake and was drinking a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup that had just been served in the inner hall. When he saw Liu Qi coming in, he said coldly.
Said: "He let you go?"
"Yes." After saying that, Liu Qi said with aggrieved expression: "Master, what did this slave do wrong? You want to hand him over to Qi Kuan to be tied up. You don't know how hateful he is. He not only humiliated the slave, but also said a lot of things."
If you are not honest with your master."
Huang put down the bowl in her hand, wiped the corners of her lips with silk, and said calmly: "Did he humiliate me, or did you, Liu Qi, humiliate me?"
Her cold eyes made Liu Qi tremble in his heart. He felt like someone had read through his mind. He quickly lowered his head and said: "How dare I be disrespectful to my master? I..."
Huang sneered and said, "Do you think I don't know that you secretly went to Yimeixuan to report the news, and that you help Wei Jingxuan monitor my every move?"
Under Liu Qi's horrified eyes, she continued: "Both you and Little Mencius are all chess pieces that Wei Jingxuan has placed beside me. However, I have never been able to understand. In the past few years, I have
I don’t treat you two too lightly. Why do you eat everything like this? Seriously.
Gong Hao cannot be bullied!" When she said the last sentence, her voice was as cold as an arrow, frightening Liu Qi's legs to tremble, and he almost collapsed on the ground. It was not that he had not guessed this possibility, but he never imagined that Huang would actually
I knew it early on, but I just kept it secret.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and hurriedly knelt down and said: "This slave has been wronged! I have received great favor from my master, and I will never dare to betray my master!"
"Are you still lying?" Mrs. Huang nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see how stubborn you are! Wu Si, get the needle!"
It was only then that Liu Qifang noticed that Wu Si and Jin Ping, who were supposed to be locked up in the warehouse, were standing next to Huang. Obviously, many things happened that he didn't know about at this time.
Wu Si quickly followed the instructions and took out a steel needle as long as a finger. Huang said indifferently: "They say that ten fingers are connected to the heart, starting with his hands. If he doesn't say it, he will pierce both feet too!"
Seeing Wu Si walking with Jin Ping twisting the steel needle, Liu Qi's face turned pale, and his knees on the ground slowly moved back, showing deep fear.
"How about it, are you willing to tell me?" Faced with Huang's inquiry again, Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said it had nothing to do with him.
Huang didn't say anything else, but just glanced at Wu Si. Wu Si nodded slightly and handed the steel needle to Jinping. He went up to grab Liu Qi's hand, and saw the gleaming needle tip stabbing his finger. Liu Qi couldn't care less.
Huang was present and struggled hurriedly, but Wu Si, who had practiced some martial arts and had brute strength, pinned him firmly to the ground and was unable to move.
When the needle pierced the tip of Liu Qi's thumb, Wu Si held down Liu Qi with one hand and one foot, and tightly covered his mouth with his other hand to prevent others from hearing the scream.
Seeing Liu Qi's face distorted by the severe pain, a trace of unbearability flashed in Jinping's heart. However, when he thought of Liu Qi's secret communication with Wei Jingxuan, the unbearable feeling disappeared immediately.
After pricking three fingers in a row, Huang waved his hand to Jinping and Wu Si to let go of Liu Qi, and said in a deep voice: "How about it, are you willing to tell me?"
The latter curled up and covered his fingers, moaning non-stop. When Huang saw this, he sneered: "It seems that you want to take the remaining seven injections. Okay, I will give you this opportunity."
Before Wu Si and the others could step forward, Liu Qi hurriedly raised his head and reluctantly said: "No! Master, spare your life!"
Although the acupuncture injury was not serious, the excruciating pain could not be understood unless one had to bear it personally. The pain of just three needles was already unbearable for Liu Qi. If it were ten needles, twenty needles...he simply could not imagine it.
Facing his pleading, Huang had only one word, "Speak!"
Liu Qi didn't dare to hide it anymore, and told him everything about how he lost money, how Xiao Yuanzi stole the money and lent it to him, but was discovered by Wei Jingxuan, and was later forced to help Wei Jingxuan, but he still kept it in mind and kept it secret.
The matter of copying Xianyue's handwriting was quietly concealed.
