"No... Nothing, I thought my earrings fell off, it turned out to be still there. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Seeing Gao Heng asking this sentence defenselessly, Princess Yuanxi's eyebrows trembled, knowing that the action of leaning over to pick up the needle just now had been cleared by him, one hand was raised to caress the pendant on the earlobe, and the other hand holding the poisonous needle unconsciously loosened.

By the time she reacted, it was too late.

Fortunately, although the needle was long, it was as thin as a cow's hair, and it fell silently on the ground without anyone noticing it.

However, Princess Yuanxi did not relax her vigilance because of this, and there was still a complex and solemn color brewing between her eyebrows.

This silver needle is not an ordinary embroidery needle, but made of sterling silver, and it will soon be discovered when thrown on this bright blue marble floor.

What's more, it was the man in front of him who had already doubted himself and had sharp eyes.

According to Princess Yuanxi's assumption, she wanted to step on this needle under her feet first, and avoid Gao Heng's sight for the time being.

But because the needle fell from her back, she was now facing Gao Heng, and if she suddenly turned around to find the trace of the poisonous needle, she was afraid that it would arouse his suspicions.

Just as Princess Yuanxi swept behind her back with the corner of her eyes and began to move her steps slowly intentionally or unintentionally, Gao Heng suddenly spoke.

"Hold your hand out. ”

Originally, in front of other people, Gao Heng didn't want to ask Princess Yuanxi again and again, making her, the princess of Nanchu, lose face.

But looking at her flickering eyes and a slightly awkward look on her face, Gao Heng could feel that she must have something to hide from herself.

Hearing Gao Heng say this, Princess Yuanxi pursed the corners of her lips, but she did not hesitate, and quickly brought that hand to Gao Heng's eyes.

"Does Your Highness think that I have hidden something that should not be hidden in front of my sister's bed?"

As she expected, when she saw her empty hand, a trace of surprise and distrust quickly slipped through Gao Heng's eyes.

Then his eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the spotless ground.

"Your Highness, just now... My sister seems to have woken up just now. ”

Seeing that Gao Heng wanted to clear up the doubts in his heart, Princess Yuanxi was afraid that the poisonous needle would be found by him immediately, so she immediately changed the topic in a cheerful tone.

If she hadn't been seen by Gao Heng picking up things, even if this poisonous needle was exposed in front of everyone, according to Gao Heng's disgust for Cheng Sujin, she would have been able to put all the blame on her.

But the fact is that he made an unintentional move, but instead made a scapegoat for others in vain.

"Yes, she grabbed my hand just now, and the princess saw it. ”

Cheng Sujin knew the current situation of Princess Yuanxi, and if he found out, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the involvement, so he immediately spoke out to help.

As soon as he heard Cheng Sujin's words, Gao Heng's eyes, who were always concerned about Cheng Jinzhi, lit up, and he didn't care about Princess Yuanxi's strange behavior anymore, and rushed to Cheng Jinzhi's side emotionally.

"Golden Bough, Golden Bough... Cheng Jinzhi..."

He raised his hand and shook Cheng Jinzhi's body gently, his voice calling softly, his eyes full of ardent expectations and hopes.

Seeing that Princess Yuanxi's heart seemed to be pierced by countless thorns, she unconsciously bit her lower lip.

Gao Heng's every move at the moment, how has she ever experienced it, how has she ever felt it, even if it is just a short second?

Thinking of this, Princess Yuanxi only felt jealousy tumbling up from her heart, and for a while she forgot the existence of the poisonous needle, and was only full of hope that Cheng Jinzhi would never wake up.

"Is she really awake?"

Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi in front of him was still sleeping peacefully, unconscious, Gao Heng's originally expectant gaze gradually dimmed, and turned to a thick layer of fog.

"Sister may be dreaming, right? In the dream, Miss Cheng is regarded as His Royal Highness. ”

Princess Yuanxi took a deep breath and smiled miserably, saying softly and weakly word by word, full of sadness and self-deprecation.

"It's that I didn't spend time with her properly. ”

Gao Heng looked at Cheng Jinzhi with a reproachful expression, and this sentence was said in an unusually peaceful and low voice, which made people sound a faint sense of exhaustion and loss.

"Eh, there seems to be a needle on the ground, and it wouldn't be good if you stepped on it. ”

Just when the atmosphere became a little solemn, he heard the snow treading that was originally staring at Cheng Jinzhi with a nervous expression, and suddenly said a sentence coldly.

And as soon as she said this, she immediately let Princess Yuanxi break free from jealousy and sadness, and hurriedly turned around with the gaze pointed by Taxue.

However, before she could move two steps closer and step on it, Gao Heng had already left Cheng Jinzhi's bed and stood up, walked to her side, leaned down, and stretched out his hand.

"Your Highness......"

Seeing that Gao Heng was about to pick up this poisonous needle with his bare hands, Princess Yuanxi was afraid that he would be contaminated with venom, so she didn't have time to think about it for a while, so she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to him.

didn't know that it was such a seemingly careful and thoughtful move that made Gao Heng more suspicious and exposed himself even more.

"The slave and maid remember that she had never done needlework in this room, and that this room had only been cleaned in the morning, so how could there suddenly be an extra needle on the floor?"

"This is not an embroidery needle, it is a silver needle used by medical students to test medicines. ”

Listening to Taxue's questioning questions, Gao Heng picked up the poisonous needle with the handkerchief handed by Princess Yuanxi, and put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.

After seeing the slightly old color of the second half of the needle, I immediately realized that it had been impregnated with something.

Looking at Gao Heng's serious eyes, Princess Yuanxi stood in place with bated breath and grabbed her sleeves, obviously wanting to say a few words to cover it up, but she couldn't say a word.

Deep down in her heart, she could even clearly feel that Gao Heng had already seen everything.

Cheng Sujin also stared there with a stiff face, his eyes constantly glancing towards Princess Yuanxi, but he was not as nervous as her.

In her opinion, although the culprit of this matter is herself, but at this moment, in Gao Heng's eyes, Princess Yuanxi is obviously more suspicious than her.

So after pondering for a while, Princess Yuanxi took a step forward, with a suspicious look on her face, and came forward pretendically.

"Yes, how can there be a silver needle here, is it that the people of this royal palace gave the golden branch to test the medicine, and accidentally landed here?"

"Is it a drug test, or is it a drug test?"

Gao Heng said meaningfully, the corners of his mouth hooked a cold arc, and then raised his eyes to stare at Princess Yuanxi, and there were already clouds between his eyebrows.

After a moment of silence, Fang shouted heavily.

"Come, go and bring me a bowl of water, and fetch a silver needle. ”
