Chapter 289 Sea of Poppies
The pair of hands holding the ice-cracked porcelain cup are slender, white and slender, with well-defined joints, which are very beautiful. It is hard to imagine that it is through such hands that the ecstatic Wuji incense is prepared.
"Another young master fell ill today, and the prince has already become suspicious." Bai Mudan restrained her eyes and stopped looking at his beautiful hands.
Song Ning gracefully sipped the hot tea in his hand, and only said "Oh" as a response.
Bai Mudan said again: "If things continue like this, more and more people will get sick. By then, we will not be able to hide our plan."
Song Ning smiled, Qingjun's face was full of coldness: "So what?"
Bai Mudan was puzzled, "What?"
"Who said you want to hide it? Song has never planned to hide it from anyone since the day he made Wuji Xiang." His tone was soft, but there was a domineering presence that could not be ignored, which did not match his thin body.
Bai Mudan's heart was suffocated, and she hurriedly said: "What are you going to do?" She couldn't forget Liang Wang's sinister eyes. How would he deal with her if he was obedient and obedient?
The smile on Song Ning's face deepened, but his eyes turned icy and frosty: "I want to disrupt the situation in the capital, and I want those who have wronged me to pay the price."
It wasn't until this time that Bai Mudan woke up. She was used and became a tool of his revenge.
Prince Jing's Mansion
Xing Ying entered the study room and reported to Prince Jing and Xia Yuanqiu: "My lord, the people sent out by my subordinates have returned, saying that Bai Mudan entered a deserted courtyard and came out after about two hours. After Bai Mudan left, he entered the deserted courtyard." The courtyard checked, but found nothing, as if it was just a deserted courtyard.”
Yuan Qiu shook his head: "There must be another secret way in that deserted courtyard, it can't be just a deserted courtyard."
Zhu Yan nodded: "That's right, there must be something strange in that deserted courtyard."
At this time Uncle Xing came in a hurry. Someone came from the Taoist palace, and the emperor sent an oral order to invite him into the palace.
Zhu Yan didn't dare to neglect, and hurried into the palace immediately.
Yuan Qiu thinks of the Wuji incense, and thinks of the opium//pian that almost destroyed the entire Qing Dynasty. In this world, there really shouldn't be such a crime.
She called Xing Ying, who was left behind by Zhu Yan, and asked him to take her to the deserted courtyard where Bai Mudan was.
Xing Yingchu refused, but she couldn't stand her intimidation, saying that if he didn't take her there, she would go out and look for it by herself.
Xing Ying had no choice but to go to the palace to inform King Jing, and at the same time took Yuan Qiu to the deserted courtyard.
Seeing the desolation of the entire alley in front of him, Yuan Qiu looked puzzled, and asked Xing Ying beside him: "There are few houses in the capital and many people, why are there still deserted courtyards?"
Xing Ying shook her head: "This place is remote, and my subordinates have never been here before."
"This is it?" Yuan Qiu pointed to a deserted courtyard at the end of the alley. It seemed to be no different from other deserted courtyards. There was no human presence, weeds grew, roof plaques slanted down, and cobwebs were knotted everywhere. The shape of the courtyard can be seen. It can be seen that this place seems to have been prosperous in the past.
Pushing the door open, the road in front of you is covered by thick weeds, it seems that there is no way to go, but you can easily find that there seems to be a small road paved among the thick weeds During this time, she seemed to be able to see that Bai Mudan was walking on this path before she was old, as if the air was still filled with a faint fragrance of powder.
She stepped in, and Xing Ying followed closely, alert to all movements around her.
