2-116 The Scourge of Peanuts
Lian Lili stood dumbfounded, shivering, the cold tide on his body had not yet subsided, and the blood droplets splashed on his cheeks still seemed to be terrifyingly hot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The soft sword in Shi Lan's hand was still bloody.
She didn't immediately call someone to escort her, but silently wrapped the towel around Lian Li, wiped it clean, and silently took clean clothes to put on for her, Lian Li was like a puppet, let her fiddle.
"Why did you kill her......"
After getting dressed, Lian Lili spoke dryly, his voice was very soft, and he stood in front of Shi Lan in a daze, looking away, unable to bear to look at the miserable situation on the ground.
"Must die. Shi Lan's explanation was concise and powerful.
If you see it, if you know it, do you have to die?
If Xiao Zhun Er knew, would he also die?
She shuddered, lowered her head, and didn't dare to think about it again.
When Lian Lili sat silently, Shi Lan dried her hair and went out again, and then two palace maids entered, the expressions on their faces were the same as Shi Lan's, their faces were expressionless, as if they were facing just a pot of broken wilted flowers, dragging the dead little palace maid down, and two more palace maids brought water and rags, and quickly cleaned up the blood stains on the ground.
It wasn't until everything was taken care of, and even the carp's hair was almost dry, and Yuan Xiang, who was supposed to be guarding the door, didn't know where to go, so she silently combed the crown of Lian Li's hair and tidied it up before taking her to Tzu Chi Palace.
Can't say.
Lian Li was silent, following Shi Lan's steps, and she realized that she was thinking too simply.
There is simply no solution.
For the rest of her life, she will carry the name of the emperor and live quietly until death in this Wei Palace.
When he arrived at Tzu Chi Palace, Lian Li found that the Empress Dowager Wei Ruoshui was already waiting.
A table of delicacies and jade brews, but the two of them ate very slowly, and Lian Li secretly glanced at the Queen Mother and found that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently.
Is it the aftermath of the winter election?
Or are you worried about your own pro-government next year?
Lian Li thought about it, and didn't know what to say, so she had to eat again, she had just witnessed a bloody scene, she couldn't eat at all, but in front of the Queen Mother, she ate a few bites.
"I heard General Hong say that Li'er has been studying very hard in recent days?" the Queen Mother suddenly asked.
Seeing that she had stopped her chopsticks, Lian Li also stopped, and replied obediently: "The child is dull, and he needs to work harder, and the queen mother is worried about it." ”
The Queen Mother smiled faintly, I don't know why, but in Lian Li's eyes, she seemed to be a little more lonely.
Before the meal was over, the palace people below continued to present the second round of dishes.
A pearl-like fried lotus seed is placed right next to the right hand of the carp, decorated with beautiful green leaves, making the meaning of lotus root. I couldn't even eat anything for the carp, and when I saw it, I reached out and grabbed the peanuts on the plate.
The Queen Mother took a leisurely look, and her eyes fell on the plate of fried lotus seeds, but her face changed, and she snorted.
Lian Li's chopsticks that had just stretched out were cut off by Shi Lanqiqi, and she looked at her chopsticks that were a little shorter in a daze, only to feel a chill in her fingers.
The palace maid who served the food was pressed to her knees, for some reason, with a frightened face.
"Who instructed that?" Shi Lan rested her sword lightly on the palace maid's neck.
The little palace maid was stunned for a second before she reacted, crying loudly, not understanding what they were talking about.
Even the carp doesn't understand, if it is poisoned, then it must be tested for poison before a conclusion can be made, how can it be convicted so arbitrarily?
"The queen mother spares her life, the emperor spares her life! The slave doesn't know anything, the slave doesn't know!" The little palace maid cried miserably, but Shi Lan's sword resting on her neck did not relax in the slightest.
Lian Li seemed to see the little palace maid who was brutally killed by Shi Lan again, his heart ached, and he hurriedly got up and stood in front of Wei Ruoshui to plead.
The Queen Mother looked at her with complicated eyes, a little regret, a little sadness and anger, and taught softly: "You have always been soft-hearted, and you will intercede when you meet anyone who makes a mistake, but you don't know that these minions are the most unkind." ”
"Queen Mother, there must be something wrong, how many times have you experienced these dishes when they were delivered? They will definitely not be poisonous, Queen Mother!" Lian Li said, his expression becoming more and more anxious, as if he regarded the life of this little palace maid as the only chance to remedy.
"Why use poison to kill people?"
The Queen Mother muttered, and gently flipped over the plate of fried lotus seeds with the chopsticks carved with golden flowers, and took out one from the golden lotus seeds.
The lotus seed was not abnormal with the others, but the center was slightly concave, Wei Ruoshui slowly put it in his mouth, chewed it lightly, and a strong fragrance of peanuts spread.
That's right, not lotus seeds.
Wei Ruoshui's face was not good-looking, his heart sank, and a feeling of powerlessness and boredom rose from the bottom of his heart.
It became a killing machine.
She couldn't figure out who had discovered the clue and was it a temptation?
Prime Minister?or ...... King Jing?
She must eradicate all threats for the Lien.
Wei Ruoshui was about to give the order to kill, but when he saw Lian Li, who was kneeling, he was already in tears, and looked at him with an almost pleading look.
How can you be a king if you are so weak?
Her heart was even more annoyed, just a glance, Shi Lan's long sword was cut down mercilessly.
Lian Li knelt beside Shi Lan, looking at her in a daze, unable to understand, unable to accept, with a look of disbelief on his face, watching the dead palace maid being carried out by several expressionless palace maids, without shouting, his soul was close to numbness.
No matter how long she lived in this Wei Palace, she still couldn't adapt to the practice of treating human life as a mustard.
Especially for no reason...... For a ridiculous peanut?
The palace mermaids rushed in, cleaned up and came out. Empress Dowager Wei Ruoshui gently put down the chopsticks, took the wet handkerchief, and wiped her mouth gently.
Lian Li still knelt below, looking at the graceful and luxurious Empress Dowager of Wei.
"Why?" she looked at Wei Ruoshui on the seat in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Can murder be solved?"
"You always think that the queen mother is a murderer?"
"No......" Lian Li's answer was very unconfident.
"The royal family of Wei State, even the people in the family have a secret. Wei Ruoshui said quietly, "Eating peanuts will cause asthma, and most of them will be fatal." ”
Lian Li's heart was cold, and he suddenly remembered a disease that Master had said in the book.
Allergies, those who eat will have facial edema, wheal rashes, breathing obstruction, and suffocation.
Someone wanted her life.
So...... She had never eaten peanuts in the Wei Palace, and the only time she had done so was in the Yufeng Tower, with Luo Luo and them.
Lian Li remembered that on the night of Qixi Festival, he and Si Kouzhun were holding a plate of peanuts and eating vigorously, and their faces couldn't help but change, and a secret guess hidden in the darkest place in their hearts began to become clearer and clearer.
But that's not right.
The people of the family...... The people of the family......
That's not right. Even if Xia Xinhe's thing is true...... Her mother is Xia Xinhe, her father is still Emperor Wei Ling, and she is still the bloodline of the Lian family......
But that's not right, she ate peanuts a few days ago and is still alive and well.
What went wrong? Even the carp thought bitterly, these things of the previous generation of sesame seeds and rotten grains were fermenting in the bottom of her heart, and she was panicked in the bottom of her heart, and even a sultry and irritable feeling began to rise.
She felt her whole body start to heat up, I don't know if it was an illusion or something, she felt that her eyebrows were hot, and she was faintly hot.
