Chapter 5: Drunkenness
Zhang Fengniang's laughter clearly reached her ears through layers of obstacles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info reverberates next to the eardrums, tapping on the ear drums. The sharp sound never stopped for a moment, and Li Muqi wished it could stop.
The voice is in the ears and rings in the heart. It stings the softest part of my heart, and it is a pain that pierces the heart. It was almost impossible to breathe, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes were constantly twitching, and at any moment there was a possibility of tears hovering in his chest.
This sensitive moment must not shed tears, must not. Otherwise, there is only one outcome waiting for Li Muqi.
There's only one way to hide it – drinking.
Wine, indeed, is a good thing. It can paralyze people's nerves, people's emotions, make people forget all their sorrows, forget a lot... Not only does he have to forget, but he also needs to use it to hide his emotions and his pain. Only in this way can he have a chance to survive, and only in this way can he have a chance to do what he wants in his heart...
But it can't stop the catharsis of the truest feelings in my heart, which is not controlled by thoughts.
Missing will fade with time, but missing will thrive.
In a trance, a vague figure appeared in front of Li Muqi's eyes, and the hazy figure gradually became clear, especially the smile - gentle, full of love.
Ejina is not a person who loves to laugh, how can she be happy when she is far away from her hometown? But since she had Li Muqi, she has gradually learned to laugh again. The corners of his mouth rose up, raising a peculiar arc - an arc that could not be forgotten for a long time, an arc that hooked people's hearts. At that time, the corners of her eyes would also bend, just like the moon in the sky, and his shadow was reflected in her pupils, staring deeply at Li Muqi. In her memory, she gave almost all her laughter to herself, leaving no trace for herself, her happiness, that is, his happiness. I don't know if she was really happy at that time?
She should be happy, it is the happiness that Li Muqi brings her. But that kind of happiness could not soothe the sadness in her heart.
Her arms were slightly open, and her eyes were full of anticipation, waiting for Li Muqi to throw herself into her arms. It was a warm embrace, an embrace that could make her forget many troubles, and it could also bring her a warm embrace, making her forget the sad embrace for a while.
In Li Muqi's memory: he would always be tired of being in her arms, his head resting on her arms, and his face buried in her arms. She always habitually stroked Li Muqi's hair, and whispered to him about the grassland in her memory and the eagle in her memory. At that time, there was always a light in her eyes, a light that Li Muqi didn't know. At that time, the corners of her mouth would bloom into a smile, and she would fall into a smile of distant memories, as if she had returned to the place she had hidden in her heart.
Until this time, Li Muqi still didn't understand what kind of light it was, and he didn't understand the deep meaning.
He doesn't understand because he doesn't understand, and he can't understand the meaning because he's not a wanderer.
Looking at the figure in front of him, Li Muqi did not stretch out his hands to touch the figure, nor did he rush over, and once again threw himself into the warm embrace. A trace of clarity in his heart kept reminding himself that it was not a real existence, but a luxury in his heart, a hopeless waiting, a hopeless wait that would never return. It is also the warmest comfort in dreams. It was only in his dreams that he could hug again, fall into that warm embrace, look up at the face full of love, the gentle smile, the soft whisper...
Li Muqi couldn't resist the impulse in his heart, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and sent it to his mouth.
Li Muqi's actions can hide from Li Muhua, but they can't hide from Zhang Fengniang.
Looking at Li Muqi's drinking, Li Muhua's heart unconsciously floated a trace of worry, and he wanted to stop it, but he couldn't find a suitable reason. I sighed again in my heart: now I want to talk to him, but I still need an excuse. Thinking of this, I unconsciously drank all the wine in the cup.
Although Zhang Fengniang kept smiling, her eyes looked at the crowd. The corner of his eye has never left Li Muqi. That trace of deep hatred had become cold at this time, and his heart was unconsciously flooded with killing intent again. Her pupils were also slowly contracting, almost revealing a violent aura, but fortunately she woke up in time. The trace of killing intent in his heart gradually receded and did not disappear. Zhang Fengniang understood that at this time, she could only have that kind of idea about Li Muqi, but she couldn't take action. He couldn't die in this place, especially not in the Huaiwang Mansion - he died unexpectedly and mysteriously in the Huaiwang Mansion.
Zhang Fengniang unconsciously recalled a long past, which was something that should have been forgotten a long time ago, but she couldn't forget it all the time. I always think I've forgotten, but I will inexplicably remember:
It was a snowy winter moon, and it snowed heavily for three days in a row.
When the heavy snow stopped for a while, Zhang Fengniang received a news that Egina was infected again, and Zhang Fengniang took this opportunity to visit Egina. Looking at Egina's face, the hatred in her heart decreased slightly. Looking at that delicate face, a strong jealousy rose in my heart.
It was a fire that ignited all the thoughts in Zhang Fengniang's heart.
It was because of this face that she spent many lonely nights and suffered until dawn. She, how could Zhang Fengniang stand this. The killing intent in her heart rose sharply, but King Huai loved Egina deeply, and Zhang Fengniang couldn't do it at all. can only bury all kinds of thoughts in his heart, pretend to be generous on his face, and talk and laugh with Egina from time to time to relieve boredom. King Huai was also very happy to see Zhang Fengniang like this, and his good impression of Zhang Fengniang suddenly increased, and he no longer neglected her.
Zhang Fengniang was also very happy when she saw King Huai like this, but the deeper the hatred in her heart, the stronger the killing intent. Zheng Guihua, who is her personal maid, of course, also understands what Zhang Fengniang thinks in her heart. arranged for a henchman to be sent into Egina's room and taught her to keep an eye on it.
Ejina was a kind woman, how could she think of such a deep meaning? Even the thoughtful King Huai never thought of it.
Zhang Fengniang has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
The opportunity has finally arrived. The first emperor invited King Huai to hunt in winter, but King Huai had to go.
At that time, Egina had just recovered from a cold, and she didn't want a heavy snow to make her relapse again, and this time it was very ferocious.
Heavy snow is blocking the road, and it is difficult to get information through, and this is the perfect time. But there is another thing on her mind lingering in Zhang Fengniang's heart, how should she get out of the trouble in her heart? This matter must not leave the slightest evidence, otherwise King Huai will definitely become suspicious.
Zhang Fengniang went to visit Ejina's room all the time, and she was also looking for a way.
Zhang Fengniang didn't find out, but Zheng Guihua thought of a plan, so she told Zhang Fengniang about the plan. After Zhang Fengniang heard this, she was happy in her heart, and asked her to implement it immediately.
Ejina never doubted Zhang Fengniang's thoughts about her, and drank the medicine sent by Zhang Fengniang. I don't want to have unbearable abdominal pain at dusk, and I sweat finely.
When Zhang Fengniang heard this, she hurried over. Seeing Ejina's painful appearance, she hurriedly asked Zheng Guihua to ask the imperial doctor.
When the royal doctor arrived, Egina had already fainted. The Imperial Physician looked at Egina and shook his head and sighed. Seeing this, Zhang Fengniang's face turned pale in surprise and almost fainted. Everyone gave her first aid and sent her back to her room to rest.
On the night of Egina's departure, the plum blossoms bloomed in the cold night, and the flowers bloomed like blood, with a faint fragrance.
King Huai returned to his house, and Egina had been gone for two days. King Huai listened to the words of the people and sighed uncontrollably. The sadness in his heart was incomprehensible, but he didn't want Zhang Fengniang to be sad for him anymore, so he didn't go to visit Zhang Fengniang. I also heard because Zhang Fengniang listened to the imperial doctor's words, 'Egina will be like this, just because the person who decocted the medicine was careless, and the dosage was a little bit.' Hearing this, Zhang Fengniang killed the decoction of the medicine at that time, a total of five people.
Hearing this, King Huai became suspicious, and secretly looked at it, and also checked the jar of decoction and the remaining medicine residue, and compared it with the previous medicine residue, but did not find a trace of abnormality. He also secretly sent someone to inspect Egina's body, but no signs of poisoning were found. I wanted to ask the imperial doctor to ask, but I couldn't find any results, so I dispelled my thoughts. I wondered for a long time, but I couldn't find anything suspicious. Gradually, the matter was closed.
I don't know who spread the rumor that Ejina's death was committed by Zhang Fengniang. Hearing this, Zhang Fengniang fainted again. When he woke up, he dismissed many people. All those who have been in Ejina's room will be sent to the land of the frontier afflictions.
Li Muqi also discovered the secret after a long time: Egina did not take one medicine, but two. The conflict between the two drugs caused abdominal pain and bursting blood vessels, so there was no sign of poisoning.
Li Muqi understood the truth and wanted to tell King Huai, but he was afraid that King Huai would not believe it, so he dispelled that idea.
Zhang Fengniang got rid of Ejina, and a big stone fell in her heart. But soon after, there was another thing in his heart: King Huai loved Li Muqi very much, and was worried that he would pass on the throne to Li Muqi. In his heart, he thought of a plan to get rid of Li Muqi.
No, Li Muqi didn't get rid of it, and almost killed Li Muhua. If Li Muqi hadn't stretched out his hand in time to grab Li Muhua, Li Muhua would have fallen from the rockery. Even if not dead, it is crippled.
If you can't do it, you will think of other ways. Xin is Li Muqi is very smart, and his luck is too good, so he didn't die, but he was also injured countless times. When King Huai heard this, he thought about it in his heart and understood the key.
Although he understands, there is no way at this time, he can only protect Li Muqi's safety, but he can no longer pass the throne to Li Muqi. What King Huai wanted to give Li Muqi was real power, not a title. At that time, he could only be given a knighthood, which had already ensured his life.
Zhang Fengniang also knew about this, and gradually stopped making a move on Li Muqi, she thought that Li Muqi was no longer a threat. Until a year ago, she felt the threat of Li Muqi again, but she couldn't do anything to him. After all, he still has a knighthood on his head.
Now, Zhang Fengniang can only look at him and think in her heart, waiting for the opportunity.
I just don't know when this opportunity will come.
The sound of drumming is still the same, and Zhang Fengniang's laughter is still the same. But Li Muqi didn't seem to hear all this, and he forgot many things in his heart, and even forgot about himself.
The wine in the pot is exhausted, and the cup is empty. Li Muqi's mouth was still thinking about wine, and he was also screaming wine.
Li Muqi didn't drink it alone, but with Liu Gang, the Marquis of Wu'an, who was sitting next to him. If he drinks like this alone, it is inevitable that people will not be suspected. He can't be suspected, especially Zhang Fengniang. He was drunk at this time, while Liu Gang was not drunk, only half drunk. Looking at Li Muqi's appearance, Liu Gang couldn't stop smiling, making fun of Li Muqi's drinking.
