Chapter 421: The Target
Shen Jun, who was guarding outside, heard the order and quickly sent a bowl of water and a brand-new silver needle to Gao Heng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Watching Gao Heng slowly put the silver needle into the clear water, Princess Yuanxi, who has always been smart and shrewd, actually pursed the corners of her lips stiffly, and her heart was even more anxious.
At this moment, in the absence of Gao Heng's direct determination that she was related to this poisonous needle, no matter what she argued, it seemed to outsiders that she was covering up and exculpating her crimes.
In just a few seconds, the bowl of clear water in front of him, which was originally clear and transparent, soon took on a pale dark green color due to the impregnation of the venom on the poison needle.
"Is there something painted on this needle, and how did the water change color after a while?"
Treadyuki didn't know anything about poison, and only looked at what was happening in front of him with a puzzled expression, vaguely aware of what was wrong.
At the same time, I saw Shen Jun, who was standing beside Gao Heng, frowning, and said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, it seems that this needle is poisonous." ”
Gao Heng's eyes were as white as frost, and he didn't speak, and the cold light projected from his eyes was enough to condense this bowl of rippling green water into ice.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head and glanced at Princess Yuanxi expressionlessly, and then raised his hand to pick up another silver needle and put it into the water.
Although Gao Heng's glance was short, it was like an incomparably sharp blade, piercing straight into the depths of Princess Yuanxi's heart.
She shook her head a little dazed, only to feel that something behemoth was blocking her chest, and the feeling of soreness, pain and depression came to her heart at the same time, making her feel like she was on the edge of the abyss.
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms because they were so hard they worked.
Gao Heng's eyes clearly determined that this silver needle was from his own hand!
In other words, at this moment, in Gao Heng's eyes, she is clearly a poisonous woman who is bent on murdering the dying!
Thinking of this, Princess Yuanxi turned her head to look at Cheng Sujin beside her with worried eyes, wanting to ask her for help.
Unexpectedly, she still pretended to be indifferent, deliberately ignoring her gaze and gaze, clearly wanting to dissociate herself from this matter.
At this moment, Princess Yuanxi suddenly began to pity Cheng Jinzhi, there was such a vicious and pretentious sister.
As a result, the brand-new silver needle was impregnated with poisonous water, and undoubtedly turned black.
Looking at the blackened silver needle in his hand, Gao Heng's face sank, and the whole person immediately looked like a cold ice sculpture, which made people want to be close and far away.
"This needle is really... It's really toxic!"
Seeing this, Taxue couldn't help but exclaim, and immediately realized that since this needle appeared in Cheng Jinzhi's house, there must be someone with evil intentions and wanted to plot against him.
For a while, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, and knelt down towards Gao Heng in horror.
"Your Highness, the slave and maid should die, it was the slave's negligence, but the slave and maid really don't know where this needle came from......"
"I also want to know, where did this needle come from?"
Gao Heng was not angry at Treading Xue, but looked at the poisonous needle in his hand with heavy eyes, and then slowly walked towards Princess Yuanxi, who was standing not far away and never said a word.
"Does the princess know?"
"Your Highness asks this, do you think that I brought this poisonous needle in?"
Princess Yuanxi tried her best to suppress the surging pain in her heart, raised her eyes to meet Gao Heng's eyes without a trace of temperature, and bit every word very clearly, trembling lightly all over her body.
"Isn't it?"
Gao Heng's eyes tightened, and he leaned forward towards Princess Yuanxi, the cold air in his eyes came to his face, and his tone was cold.
"What did you just want to pick up on the ground? If it was really just the earrings that fell off, why did you put your hands behind you so nervously when you saw me? If you didn't already know that this silver needle was poisonous, why did you hand over the square handkerchief so carefully when I wanted to pick it up with your bare hands?"
In fact, since the last time Princess Yuanxi was under huge psychological pressure to help him testify against the prince in the imperial study, Gao Heng has always been grateful in his heart, and he is no longer as wary of her as before.
In Gao Heng's opinion, Princess Yuanxi is indeed not hypocritical to herself, as long as she can keep to herself in the palace and not cause trouble, even if she can't give her the sincerity she wants, she will treat her with respect, no longer as cold and indifferent as before, and try her best to make her live happily and smoothly.
But if she has a ghost in her heart, she has a bad intention, and she also threatens Cheng Jinzhi, who he cherishes the most.
That would be unforgivable.
However, what Gao Heng didn't know was that for Princess Yuanxi, in addition to Gao Heng's sincerity and true feelings, no matter what she gets, in her opinion, it is just charity and pity, which tastes like chewing wax.
"It's not me, it's not me......"
Princess Yuanxi gritted her teeth and shook her head vigorously, trying not to let the tears roll up her eyes, her whole face turned pale and slightly distorted with excitement and indignation.
"I know, you have always felt that the golden branch is a thorn in your side, and you think that without her, I would love you wholeheartedly. So, even if she's just a defenseless patient now, you can do it, right?"
Gao Heng raised his hand and pinched Princess Yuanxi's chin, and the frozen three feet in his eyes were gradually melted by the blazing flames, only to make Princess Yuanxi feel that she was about to be burned to the ground.
"Your Highness, I admit that I hate Cheng Jinzhi very much, but even if I hate it, I like to have a good time, and I won't use such a shady and despicable means!"
Princess Yuanxi raised her voice impressively, her chest rose and fell violently, even if there was a slight weakness in her heart, but a pair of autumn water was overflowing with tenacity to see death as home.
She knew that once she took on this matter, not only would all the previous efforts be ruined.
Even in the future, it will be difficult to make Gao Heng change her opinion again.
She must not be Cheng Sujin's scapegoat in vain, let alone lose in this matter!
"The eldest lady of the Cheng family and Cheng Jinzhi have always been at odds, she came to visit so diligently today, why didn't Her Highness suspect her?
"Princess, don't you spew blood here, thieves shout to catch thieves, I came to see Jin Zhi with good intentions today, what poisonous needles are not poisonous needles, Su Jin doesn't know at all. Besides, who is the hand of this poisonous needle, we are all like a mirror, and Your Highness can see it clearly, so why do you have to quibble?"
Facing Princess Yuanxi's unshy identification, Cheng Sujin's heart trembled suddenly, his eyes turned slightly, and he pretended to raise his chin calmly.
Although he was still calm on the surface, he was already in a cold sweat on his back.
After all, according to Gao Heng's fearless personality, if he found out that he was the culprit, then I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape today.
