Chapter Thirty-Eight: Poisoned
As soon as Helian Xinya returned to the palace, she changed into the palace maid's clothes on her body, she just changed into Gu Qingluan and Situ Chenfeng, and stepped into the Huaqing Palace, Gu Qingluan knocked on the door first, and after getting Helian Xinya's answer, she turned to Situ Chenfeng and said: "You can go alone, I will take the wind outside."
Situ Chenfeng nodded, pushed the door, and when he walked in, he saw Helian Xinya, who was sitting at the log table waiting for him, was different from her before and now, she was wearing a lilac dress, and she was extravagant
"It's you," she glanced at him lightly, picked up the cup and took a sip, "Your name is Situ Chenfeng, right, you don't have to stand and sit down," Seeing him stop three steps away from her, she gestured to look at the seat opposite
"No need, Concubine Jin Niangniang has anything to say," Situ Chenfeng said in a deep voice, and then pursed the corners of his lips, and the air was a little depressed for a while
His cold attitude couldn't help but make Helian Xinya wonder if he was willing to be used by her, but if he was unwilling, why take the risk of stepping into this Huaqing Palace late at night, it was impossible to be an undercover agent, and he wanted to expose her in front of the emperor, this kind of unpredictable thing was not done by smart people
"Is Niangniang suspicious of her subordinates?" Situ Chenfeng raised his eyebrows
Helian Xinya was slightly shocked in her heart, she didn't expect to be seen by him, so she simply stopped hiding it: "That's right, I'm really suspicious of Situ Chenfeng, give me a reason to trust you."
Although it sounds very unreasonable for her to ask, who made her the master, the master naturally said what he thought
Situ Chenfeng was surprised by her confession, and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, and his expressionless face appeared a little bright, "What if I say that I want to frame you?"
"Frame me," Helian Xinya's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he quietly put down the cup, "Then I'll yell you now, trespassing on the Huaqing Palace, delusional and indecent to the palace, just imagine if you come in this way, will your framing be very pale."
She looked straight at Situ Chenfeng, but unexpectedly, the corners of Situ Chenfeng's lips suddenly hooked up a stoic smile, and she felt very fresh about her, and honestly told him
"Will the emperor believe you, a wooden-like subordinate, or me, the pillow man," Helian Xinya tilted his head and asked him, but when he heard the three words of the pillow man, the almost imperceptible smile on the corner of his lips disappeared
"Concubine Jin Niangniang is a smart person," he reverted to a normal look, "There is no doubt about employing people, and people don't need to use this way, and the ideal must be Niangniang, if there is anything to say, please say it directly."
Helian Xinya looked at him silently for a while, then curled her lips and smiled, "Okay, this palace appreciates you"
By the time Situ Chenfeng left, it was already late, and as usual, she had already fallen asleep, and as soon as Situ Chenfeng left, Gu Qingluan walked in quickly
"Qingluan, you haven't slept so late," she was stretching her waist and asked in surprise when she saw her, and only after a blink of an eye did she notice that she was still wearing a black night suit, but the veil was removed
"Qingluan, you won't be guarding the door all the time just now, right?"
What she got from her surprise was Gu Qingluan's silent acquiescence, Helian Xinya sighed lightly and looked at her distressedly, "It's cold outside Qingluan, don't do this again in the future"
"I'm fine, I'm just a little worried, Niangniang, you stay alone with that Situ Chenfeng"
"You can't trust him, is there anything suspicious about him," Helian Xinya asked, and couldn't help frowning
Gu Qingluan saw her nervous appearance and quickly shook her head, afraid that she would think too much, but there was no special reason: "Niangniang, you yourself may not know, no matter which man is alone in the room with you late at night, it is not safe."
"Ah why" is a strange reason
A smile appeared on Gu Qingluan's cold face, "Because Niangniang was born with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful appearance, no one will be unimpressed if she sees it."
Ah, because of this
Helian Xinya blushed slightly, but Situ Chenfeng, how could that wood be tempted by her, and she didn't want to have this kind of trouble with him at all, her feelings were enough to give her a headache, she got up from the chair, Helian Xinya walked towards the inner hall, and glanced back at her thoughtfully on the way, "Actually, I think you and Situ Chenfeng are quite compatible, by the way, the previous Ye Qing looked good, but he was a little frivolous."
"What" Gu Qingluan was stunned, and suddenly lowered her head, and her black hair completely covered her face
Helian Xinya thought she was shy, and quipped: "A girl's family must always have a good home, I don't want Qingluan, you will fight and kill all your life to be a shadow, and if you meet someone you really like, you must sue me, I will definitely give you a marriage."
However, Gu Qingluan still hung his head and didn't say a word, he couldn't see clearly what expression was on his face, Helian Xinya stopped strangely, turned around, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, "Qingluan, what's wrong with you?"
"Niangniang" Gu Qingluan silently said, "Qingluan won't like anyone"
"No, you're much better than before, you can definitely believe in yourself," Helian Xinya walked over to her, but just as she tried to reach out and pat her on the shoulder, she froze in place
Gu Qingluan slowly raised her head, and lifted the black hair blocking her face with one hand, revealing her entire face
Half of the face that had never seen the light before, from the eyes all the way down, there was a hideous and terrifying scar, which made people tremble in the dim candlelight
Unexpectedly, receiving Helian Xinya's shocked gaze, Gu Qingluan hurriedly lowered his head and put down the black hair again
"Qingluan" Helian Xinya immediately retracted the shock in her eyes, knowing that she was hurting her like this, she took a long breath, and she held her hand hanging by her side
"It's okay, it's okay", this scar should be given by Baihe Lian Changfeng, how can he be so ruthless, Qingluan is his own flesh and blood after all
"Mother's ......"
"Can't this scar be erased, Xuan Yi is a miracle doctor, maybe he will have a way, or he will go to the post house to find Chu Han," she tightened her hand
Gu Qingluan just shook his head, "Except for Lord Changfeng and Niangniang, there has never been a third person who has seen it."
Helian Xinya choked and understood her feelings of not wanting to be seen by others, nodded and didn't speak again, Gu Qingluan withdrew her hand from her hand and said good night, and then walked out of the hall slowly
The next morning, Helian Xinya seemed to have something to worry about when she had breakfast, and there was a faint sadness between her eyebrows, but in fact, she was worried that Gu Qingluan hurt her last night
"Niangniang, try this lotus seed soup, Ling'er has been boiling it for a long time," Le Ling naturally couldn't understand it, and still happily served her with a bowl of steaming lotus seed soup
"En" Helian Xinya reached out to catch it, because she was absent-minded, she didn't want to catch an unstable porcelain bowl and slipped out of her hand, and fell to the ground with a "bang", splashing everywhere
"Ah, Niangniang, you're not hot," Le Ling and Mo Lan exclaimed together, and Mo Lan hurriedly picked up a silk silk to wipe her wet clothes and skin
He Xinya shook her head disappreciatively, "It's okay, it's just splashed on your clothes," she said, and she stopped as she spoke, looking at Gu Qingluan who walked in with her eyes flickering
"Leling, send these down quickly," Mo Lan ordered, handing her the broken porcelain piece in his hand
"Oh," Le Ling nodded, held it in her arms, turned around and ran out, not forgetting to say hello to Gu Qingluan who walked in, she ran all the way towards the kitchen, in addition to her hurried footsteps, there was also a strange "zizi" sound
The remnants of the lotus seed soup that flowed down from the broken porcelain pieces flowed to the weeds on the ground, and the original green weeds instantly turned yellow, and after Le Ling threw the broken porcelain pieces into the garbage basket, she inadvertently lowered her head and suddenly found that the clothes in front of her were black
"What's going on," she muttered, frowning, and couldn't figure out why she ran back the way she came, but when she saw the yellow weeds again, she was shocked
And before this, Helian Xinya was just about to open her mouth to say something after seeing Gu Qingluan approaching, suddenly Gu Qingluan's eyes were cold, and she rushed up with an arrow step and grabbed her hand excitedly
"Qingluan, what's wrong with you?"
"Niangniang, what did you just encounter," Gu Qingluan exclaimed, her eyes were firmly fixed on the front of her dress, Helian Xinya followed her gaze, and as soon as she lowered her head, her face immediately turned white
The placket of her clothes that had just been splashed by the lotus seed soup turned black at this moment, and Mo Lan was also surprised to find that the silk in her hand was dyed black
"Niangniang, Niangniang, that lotus seed soup has a problem," Le Ling's panicked shout sounded from outside the hall, and everyone's hearts suddenly understood
Lotus seed soup is poisonous
"Niangniang, take off this dress," Gu Qingluan shouted, and Mo Lan hurriedly stepped forward to help Helian Xinya undress when she heard it, because Helian Xinya was the closest, so she was the most affected
Mo Lan helped her to the inner hall, Le Ling was ordered to run to close the door, and she also had to hurry to change her clothes, and after the dress on Helian Xinya was changed, Gu Qingluan picked up the clothes and checked them carefully, and understood that the poison was ruthless enough
"Niangniang, are you unwell, slave maid, go call the imperial doctor now," Mo Lan nervously helped Helian Xinya and looked at her increasingly pale face, anxious
"Don't go," Helian Xinya grabbed her and pulled her back
"But this is poison, mother, you must not have an accident."
"Miss Molan, Lady has her own reasons for doing this," Gu Qingluan pursed her lips and glanced at her, Helian Xinya didn't want to find an imperial doctor, firstly, because if she was really poisoned deeply, those quacks in the palace would not be able to save her at all, and secondly, if she came to find an imperial doctor, it would definitely alarm Yuan Xin and the Queen Mother, and this matter would definitely be in an uproar in the future, and maybe it would spread to the former dynasty, which was not what she wanted to see, and thirdly......
For now, I can only hope for Qingluan
Gu Qingluan walked up to her, raised her hand and rested it on the table to take her pulse
"Niangniang, now your pulse is in chaos, Aunt Molan, go and bring a basin of hot water now," she said in a deep voice
