Concubine Wan Gui, Mo Xier.
My natal family is a large family in Jianghuai.
The Mo family spent a lot of money to get Mo Xi'er into His Majesty's sight during the private audition of Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin.
And relying on Mo Xi'er's outstanding appearance.
Successfully selected by Zhao Hongyin.
In the beginning, he was a talented person.
Later, the mother's family paid tribute to the emperor with many rare treasures.
Only then did Mo Xier become a noble concubine.
However, in the harem of the imperial city, there are nearly hundreds of women with the title of concubine.
Almost every time you meet a queen, you have to call her "noble concubine".
Mo Xi'er originally thought that after becoming a noble concubine, she would be lucky enough to be favored and slept with by Zhao Hongyin.
As a result, Zhao Hongyin had three thousand beauties in his harem, and there were countless beauties.
If everyone does it once a day, it will last ten years.
What's more, Zhao Hongyin has been obsessed with alchemy in recent years.
I am even less interested in beauty.
Last time, Feng Xi, the eunuch beside the emperor, hurried to his palace and asked to stay with him that night.
Mo Xi'er thought that she had finally won the emperor's favor.
Unexpectedly, Feng Xi received a new order from the emperor before he went to Fengtian Palace.
Let her return to the palace, there is no need to sleep with her tonight.
This time, Mo Xi'er's excitement was somewhat dampened.
So although Mo Xi'er is a noble concubine, she has never seen a normal man in this harem.
Just when she thought she would live in a harem of the abyss, Xue Mu's appearance piqued her interest.
It can be said that Xue Mu is roughly similar to his ideal husband in terms of appearance and temperament.
Even though he couldn't see, it still made a lot of difference in Mo Xi'er's heart.
This is why she took the initiative to help Nangong Wei invite Xue Mu over last time.
The purpose was just to see him a few more times.
But Nangong Wei seemed to be aware of Mo Xi'er's thoughts when Mo Xi'er went to her bedroom in the next few days. When Nangong Wei mentioned calling Xue Mu into the palace, she changed the subject.
There was no other way, so Mo Xi'er had no choice but to take matters into her own hands. She told Xiu'er to leave the palace.
Ask her to call Xue Mu into the palace.
And Mo Xi'er was very smart. She asked Xiu'er to prepare a vegetable bucket in advance.
If someone wants to check the carriage, they can use the vegetable bucket as an excuse to cover it up.
After all, she had received permission from the emperor before, allowing him to purchase some local specialties from the Jianghuai region from outside the palace.
In this way, unless someone deliberately makes things difficult, generally speaking, Xue Mu will not be discovered.
Therefore, Mo Xier is also looking forward to his arrival.
at this time.
Xue Mu was also a little uneasy. He didn't understand why Mo Xi'er asked him to enter the palace again for no reason.
Sitting in the carriage, he asked Xiu'er outside the carriage: "Miss Xiu'er, I wonder why the imperial concubine ordered me to enter the palace?"
Xiu'er replied: "I will understand after Mr. Xue enters the palace."
Seeing that she refused to speak, Xue Mu had no choice but to wait.
Soon, the carriage passed by the gate of the palace.
Xiu'er took out Concubine Wan Gui's token and simply explained to the soldiers at the city gate: "This is the hometown specialty that Concubine Wan Gui wants to buy."
With that said, she opened the curtain slightly, took out some vegetables and showed them to the soldiers at the city gate.
The soldiers who were responsible for guarding the south gate were not surprised when they saw this. After all, Concubine Wan Gui had to go out every month to order people to buy some specialties.
The general had also specifically told them before that they did not need to intercept them.
At this time, Xiu'er was also very good at troubles. She took out a small ingot of broken silver from her pocket and handed it to the guard of the Imperial Guard on duty: "This is the imperial concubine's consideration for all the adults. It's not disrespectful to be careful." .”
When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw this, they quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiu'er. Thank you, Concubine Wan Gui, for us."
In this way, the carriage was quickly let in.
Xue Mu listened to the noise outside.
I couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, where there are rivers and lakes, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are people and sophistication.
Even the palace, which is so heavily guarded on the surface, is no exception.
Just as he was sighing, the carriage passed through a palace path and then gradually stopped.
At this time, Xiu'er reminded: "Master Xue, we are outside the palace, it's time to get off the car."
Xue Mu then opened the curtain and carefully got out of the carriage.
Although it was daytime and he couldn't see, he could feel the nearby environment through hearing.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he could hear the sound of gurgling water and the scent of acacia flowers.
This made Xue Mu a little surprised. The harem dormitory, like some wealthy families outside the city, also had a courtyard layout.
While walking into the palace, Xue Mu also realized that both the scale and layout of the palace were probably more luxurious than Nangong Wei's bedroom.
This is enough to prove that this Wan Guifei Mo Xi'er may have a better status than Nangong Wei.
If he could successfully curry favor with Mo Xi'er, then Xue Mu's future official career might also be guaranteed.
As they were walking, Xiuer said towards the direction of the hall: "Mother, Master Xue is here."
Mo Xi'er, who was touching up her makeup, immediately turned around when she heard this.
Compared with the nervous anticipation just now, she now has a different look, becoming noble and dignified.
She smiled slightly, looked at Xue Mu who came forward, and said calmly: "Master Xue, you are here."
Xue Mu didn't know Mo Xi'er's intention of calling him here this time, so he could only bow his hands respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, Xue Mu has met the noble concubine."
Mo Xi'er waved her hands and said, "Master Xue, no courtesy."
Xue Mu asked Mo Xi'er at this time: "I don't know if the imperial concubine called me to the palace. Is there something wrong?"
Mo Xier looked at Xue Mu, who had a serious face, and smiled softly: "Master Xue, there is no need to be nervous. The last time I saw you at Sister Nangong's place, I found you quite interesting while chatting with you. of."
"I've been living in the palace for a long time, and rarely hear about things in the capital. It just so happens that you live in the deep palace, and you should be dealing with all the big and small things in the capital on weekdays, so I thought there was an unlucky person. Please."
When Xue Mu heard this, he quickly asked: "Your Majesty, please tell me."
"I was thinking that if possible, if you are free in the future, how about you come over to me and tell me what happened in the capital?" Mo Xi'er asked tentatively.
After hearing this, Xue Mu felt more relaxed.
He then smiled and said: "So that's what happened, there is no problem. If the imperial concubine wants to hear about things inside and outside the imperial city, and when she goes to my aunt's house another day, I will personally invite the imperial concubine to go there, because my aunt previously She also told me that she wanted me to tell her more about the city, and now both ladies are able to listen."
When Mo Xi'er heard what he said, she guessed in her heart that he should be on guard, and then asked: "Why, Mr. Xue, can't you come here specifically to speak to me? You have to let me go to you." Aunt Nangong’s place?”
Xue Mu lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "Of course not, I just think that the imperial concubine and Aunt Nangong have a deep relationship, so you can chat while I tell you some things that happened in the capital."
"Sister Nangong and I are indeed like sisters. We entered the palace together at the beginning. With each other's support, we both became one of the few noble concubines in the harem, but"
Mo Xi'er looked at him at this time: "It's just that if I go to Sister Nangong too many times, it will also arouse the dissatisfaction of other concubines. Master Xue doesn't know that in this deep palace, you have to be careful everywhere."
Xue Mu saw that she seemed unwilling to go to Nangong Wei's palace, so he had no choice but to say: "In that case, I will come here to talk to the imperial concubine about what happened in the capital another day."
"Okay, then it's settled." Mo Xi'er was happy, and then she clapped her hands.
Xiu'er walked in from the door, and Mo Xi'er said to her: "Xiu'er, go get some specialty supplements for Mr. Xue."
Xue Mu hurriedly said: "My dearest concubine, how can a lower official receive such a great favor?"
Mo Xi'er smiled and said: "Mr. Give it a try, your brothers, after all, you, the Detective Division, are working too hard in handling cases."
Just as he was talking, Xiu'er walked out with a box.
It can be seen that this box seems to have been prepared a long time ago.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Xue Mu had no choice but to accept it.
Mo Xi'er saw that the time was almost up, so she said to Xue Mu, "Then I won't disturb Mr. Xue's time. If I have time another day, I will come back for advice."
Xue Mu smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't be the one to ask for advice. I will be grateful to you for your kindness. I will definitely tell you something I haven't heard before."
Mo Xi'er smiled after hearing this, "It would be best if that's the case."
In this way, Xue Mu left the palace with the box.
When going out, Xiuer also reminded: "Mr. The imperial concubine was so engrossed in the conversation that she felt a little envious, so she also hoped that Mr. Xue could take some time out of his busy schedule to talk to the imperial concubine about things outside the palace. Although the imperial concubine could not go out, she could still have a good time. It’s addictive to listen to.”
After hearing this, Xue Mu nodded and said: "Okay, don't worry, Miss Xiu'er, what I like most is making friends. Since the empress regards me as one of her own, I have to show my sincerity."
"It's best for Mr. Xue to think so."
Since it was daytime, the carriage did not stop at the Shenhua Division, but stopped some distance away.
Xiu'er looked at Xue Mu and reminded: "Master Xue, how about we get off the car here."
Xue Mu naturally understood the reasoning behind this, and he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll get off the car here."
Xue Mu took the box and prepared to walk into the Divine Catching Division.
However, around the corner, a slender hand grabbed his collar.
Xue Mu was very surprised. He knew that he could grab his collar without realizing it. To a certain extent, the other party was a person with strong martial arts skills.
Otherwise, he would not have any consciousness at all.
He was about to fight back when he heard that familiar voice: "Why do you, a traitor, still want to attack the master?"
When Xue Mu heard that it was Murong Dai, he immediately replied: "Master, my disciple didn't know it was you."
Murong Dai didn't care.
But Xue Mu was a little surprised by her appearance, so she asked: "Master, what are you doing here? This is the Divine Catcher Division, aren't you afraid?"
Murong Dai said calmly: "Do you think I will be afraid?"
As she spoke, she took out two pill bottles from her arms and explained, "This is what you want."
Xue Mu was a little surprised after taking it. He never expected that Murong Dai could get such poison.
I saw Murong Dai explaining: "The medicine bottle in your left hand is poison, and the right hand is antidote. Take the antidote before taking the poison. If you do this, you will appear to be suspended animation within a stick of incense."
Xue Mu asked in confusion: "Is it such a short time?"
"How long do you want to keep thinking? If you don't wake up within a stick of incense, won't you die no matter how powerful your martial arts skills are?" Murong Dai asked back.
After hearing this, Xue Mu felt that it made sense, and then he said to Murong Dai, "Thank you, Master. I will try it when I go back."
Murong Dai frowned and asked nervously: "Do you want to test the poison with yourself?"
Xue Mu replied: "No, I plan to use it for a death row prisoner in prison."
After hearing this, Murong Dai relaxed a little.
Xue Mu heard Murong Dai's nervous tone just now, so he deliberately teased: "Master, you shouldn't be nervous just now."
Unexpectedly, Murong Dai rolled her eyes at him, and finally said indifferently: "I just don't want to waste all my hard work these days. Although your current strength is not enough to help me complete my revenge plan, at least you have some skills now." Skills don't go to waste if you don't use them, so don't die for me, you must live well for me."
Xue Mu immediately promised: "Don't worry, Master, one day I will definitely help you fulfill your wish. After all, you can agree to any conditions by then."
Murong Dai was speechless upon hearing this.
Don't most disciples do things for their master unconditionally in order to repay their master's kindness?
Why is he, a traitor, always thinking about her conditions?
Thinking of this, she was both embarrassed and blushing.
In the end, Murong Dai said in disgust: "Okay, I'm leaving, you can take care of yourself."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Xue Mu handed her the supplements in his hand and said, "Master, I happened to buy some food. Why don't you take it back and try these? It will be good for your body."
"No, keep it for yourself."
Xue Mu acted like a scoundrel and handed the box to Murong Dai.
He also suggested: "Master, not only do you have to take care of everything in the sect, but you also have to spend time helping me find poison. It's too hard. You'd better accept it. Otherwise, the apprentice will feel very uneasy." ah."
After hearing his words, Murong Dai softened a little.
Eventually she took the box away.
Before leaving, she also warned: "Remember, don't try this medicine yourself. I am your master, your life is mine, and only I can decide your life or death. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it, Master, please remember this."
Just like that, Murong Dai left.
Xue Mu immediately took the medicine and walked towards the Tianlao.
What he didn't know was that Murong Dai looked back at him again.
When Xue Mu walked into the prison, Liu Cheng and others happened to be chatting in the execution room.
When Hu Daming saw him, he greeted him: "Brother Mu, come over to us if you have time today."
Xue Mu walked over, looked at him and said, "Come, come with me to the Class C cell."
"okay."
Hu Daming followed him in a hurry.
While going down the steps, he asked: "Brother Mu, who are we going to interrogate in the Class C cell?"
"No one will be interrogated." Xue Mu replied.
After hearing this, Hu Daming was a little confused: "What are we doing?"
"Don't say anything later, just observe." Xue Mu reminded.
After hearing this and looking at his expression, Hu Daming realized that this was probably a serious matter.
So he immediately put away his temper and followed him nervously to the Class C cell.
Soon, both of them arrived at the door of Sun Lei's cell.
Sun Lei was leaning against the wall, looking at the window boredly, as if he wanted to escape.
When he saw Xue Mu coming, he immediately said excitedly: "Sir."
But soon he also discovered Hu Daming beside him.
You know, the less people know about the prison escape, the better.
For a moment, Sun Lei didn't know if Xue Mu wanted to help him escape from prison.
Xue Mu ordered Hu Daming to open the cell and then walked in.
He took out two medicine bottles from his arms and said to Sun Lei, "Take this."
Sun Lei looked at the two medicine bottles, then glanced at Hu Daming outside the cell door, and said with some worry: "Sir, there are people outside this door."
"It's okay, he is mine." Xue Mu said calmly.
At this time, Hu Daming seemed to realize something, and he asked cautiously: "Brother Mu, what's going on?"
Xue Mu turned to him and explained: "Da Ming, I just said, don't say anything, don't ask, just look with your eyes."
Hu Daming immediately nodded and responded: "Yes, Brother Mu."
In fact, he knew in his heart that Xue Mu must have his own plan.
There must be a reason why he didn't let himself know.
When Sun Lei heard what Xue Mu said, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked nervously: "Sir, is this the fake death medicine you mentioned before?"
"Well, you take the antidote first, and then the poison. In this way, you can fake your death. If you pass the test, we will have a way to send you out." Xue Mu answered.
When Hu Daming behind him heard these words, his eyes widened.
this.
[Why did Brother Mu help him escape from prison? 】
【What exactly is going on? 】
Hu Daming was a little scared.
You know, they are guarding this prison.
Xue Mu is now a member of the Hundred Households of the Divine Catching Division. In a sense, he no longer has jurisdiction over Tianlao.
If something really went wrong, it would be them, the jailers, who were at fault.
But
But Brother Mu just reminded himself not to speak.
For a moment, Hu Daming hesitated.
But in the end, he kept his mouth shut.
He knew that Xue Mu would not harm him.
The reason why Xue Mu did this must have his own thoughts.
After Sun Lei heard what Xue Mu said, he was a little confused. He looked at Xue Mu and asked, "Master Xue, after taking this antidote, will I definitely be able to survive?"
"Don't you believe me?" Xue Mu asked in turn.
Sun Lei was a little embarrassed when he asked him this. He quickly shook his head: "Of course not. It's just that this poison can make people enter a state of suspended animation. It must be very powerful. What if this antidote..."
"Don't worry." Xue Mu comforted: "The state of suspended animation is only for a stick of incense. As long as the time of a stick of incense has passed, you will regain consciousness, and then we will be able to send you outside the prison. "
In order to dispel Sun Lei's concerns, he simply said: "Of course, if you are afraid, then you will not eat it, but if I have no way to send you out, then my promise has been fulfilled."
"this"
Sun Lei fell into endless entanglements.
Finally, he cursed: "Fuck you, just do it."
Raising his head, he reached out for the medicine: "Sir, give it to me."
"You must think clearly, I am not forcing you." Xue Mu also said deliberately.
"I know, I have thought clearly, this is the only way." Sun Lei held his hands in the air and said nervously: "Sir, it's up to you whether I can go out."
"Okay, take this antidote now."
Sun Lei couldn't wait to take the medicine in Xue Mu's hand.
Xue Mu took out another pill from another bottle: "This one is poison."
Sun Lei looked at the dark pills, obviously a little nervous.
But in order to escape, he gritted his teeth and took the medicine.
The next second, his eyes widened.
Veins bulged.
Face flushed.
The expression is sad.
Hu Daming saw this and stepped forward quickly.
At this time Xue Mu asked: "Da Ming, what is his condition now?"
"Brother Mu, he looks in pain now." Hu Daming asked anxiously: "What medicine did you give him?"
"This is Daliang's poison. It can put people in a state of suspended animation. Please help me observe it carefully." Xue Mu replied calmly.
Hu Daming had never seen such a situation.
I saw Sun Lei falling to the ground, in great pain.
After a while, he lay motionless on the ground.
Xue Mu asked Hu Daming: "How is he now?"
"He's not moving." Hu Daming was a little nervous.
After hearing this, Xue Mu squatted down and felt his pulse.
Finally, I probed his nose with my hand.
"Sure enough." Xue Mu was a little surprised: "There is no heartbeat or breathing at all."
When Hu Daming heard this, he was frightened.
He quickly asked Xue Mu: "Brother Mu, are you... are you going to kill him?"
Xue Mu replied calmly: "I didn't kill him. Don't worry, he will come back to life."
"Ah?" Hu Daming's face was full of disbelief.
At this time, Xue Mu raised his arm.
Unlike the usual corpse, the weight of his arms is relatively light.
It seemed that Pan Youliang should have taken the poison from Daliang.
But the question is, wasn't he executed on the spot back then?
Why can he reappear in the capital a year later?
Just as Xue Mu was thinking, Sun Lei, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved.
Hu Daming was very scared. He quickly pointed at Sun Lei on the ground and shouted: "Brother Mu, he...he is alive."
When Xue Mu heard Hu Daming's words, he remembered that the time for one stick of incense had passed.
Sun Lei slowly raised his eyes, and then he kept breathing heavily. After looking around, he looked at Xue Mu again: "Master Xue, am I not dead yet?"
"I told you that you won't die." Xue Mu asked at this time, "Tell me how you felt just now."
"Just now." Sun Lei said, still a little scared: "Just now, I felt very painful, my whole body felt uncomfortable, and my consciousness became more and more blurred. Then I didn't know anything, but I could feel you talking."
"Can you hear me?" Xue Mu was a little surprised.
"Yes."
"Then do you know that I lifted your arm?"
Sun Lei still nodded: "I know this too."
Only then did Xue Mu realize that after taking this medicine, he only looked like he was dead, but his consciousness was still there.
In other words, it is commonly known as a vegetative state.
I didn't expect this medicine to have such power.
He was also a little surprised for a moment.
Then he stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, Sun Lei realized something, and he quickly asked: "Sir, didn't you say you wanted to send me out of the prison? Why am I still here after I wake up?"
"When did I say I would send you out of the prison?" Xue Mu asked.
Sun Lei looked confused, and he immediately explained: "You just promised me, and that adult also heard it."
Xue Mu looked at Hu Daming calmly and asked, "Da Ming, did you just hear that I was going to send him out of the prison?"
Hu Daming shook his head: "No."
Sun Lei cursed loudly at this time: "You Xue Mu, how dare you play tricks on me. You are in the first year of junior high school and I am in the fifteenth year! Then I will expose everything about you."
He was about to yell.
Xue Mu replied: "The medicine you just took has side effects. If you don't drink water within an hour, you will be poisoned and die again. Do you think you can drag me down in this hour?" "
After hearing this, Sun Lei was stunned.
unbelievable.
He immediately pointed at Xue Mu and shouted: "Impossible, you must be lying to me. How could there be such a medicine?"
"Have you ever heard of the drug for suspended animation before?" Xue Mu said with a smile.
Sun Lei was a little panicked.
Yes, he had never heard of this kind of drug to fake death before.
But now, he had just experienced it once.
Sun Lei was worried that if the medicine had side effects, he would be poisoned and die if he didn't drink water for an hour.
Consider the question of whether to die today or later.
He finally gave in.
He lowered his head and said painfully: "My lord, I was wrong. My lord, I will not tell our story."
"Da Ming, go and pour him a bowl of water."
With that said, Hu Daming quickly poured her a bowl of water.
Sun Lei quickly took the bowl and drank it gurglingly.
After just two sips, Xue Mu reminded again: "You have to take a sip every hour. Don't drink too fast."
When Sun Lei heard this, he started to break down and cry.
"Why. Why do you do this to me?"
Xue Mu left Tianlao.
For a murderous bandit like him, Xue Mu actually didn't feel guilty at all.
And without even a single soldier, he found out about the poison.
He returned to the room where he was resting, and Xue Mu also lay down and began to sort out the clues he had harvested today.
At this time, Nangong Xue came back from outside.
She also found some clues and wanted to share them with Xue Mu.
But just when she was about to knock on the door, she heard Xue Mu's voice inside.
"I didn't expect that this medicine is so powerful that it can actually fake death. It's really powerful."
"It makes me want to give it a try."
When Nangong Xue heard this, she became anxious and quickly broke in and said, "You can't eat it!"
Xue Mu was startled by her.
Nangong Xue looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, grabbed it immediately, and then asked nervously: "Is this a poison that can fake death?"
"Yes." Xue Mu nodded.
After hearing this, Nangong Xue quickly asked: "Have you eaten? If you have eaten, spit it out quickly! This is no joke!"
Xue Mu was still a little confused.
Until two seconds later.
He reacted.
I saw him saying with some guilt: "I'll eat it."
The next second.
Xue Mu gasped and his expression became painful.
Then he fell on the bed.
When Nangong Xue saw it, she immediately pounced on him.
She looked at Xue Mu at a loss and said: "Xue Mu! Xue Mu! Wake up! Don't die!!"
At this moment, she was really panicked.
