42. Chapter 42
Knowing that only Bai Qian and Shen Chen were really good to themselves in this palace, Cangwu Jingyuan nodded, "I understand, you must also remember to be careful outside the palace." โ
After saying that, Cangwu Jingyi's nose twitched, and her eyes subconsciously glanced at the food box in Bai Qian's hand.
Seeing the appearance of Cangwu Jingkite, his face was still heavy just now, and the next moment he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips and hurriedly uncover the lid of the food box.
The sweet fragrance of osmanthus surged into the tip of her nose, and her eyes lit up, and she wanted to reach out and pinch it through the cage.
Seeing this, Bai Qian had a bad heart, deliberately pulled the food box back a few points, and picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth to eat.
Osmanthus crisp has always been one of the favorite pastries of Cangwu Jingkite, although I have eaten well in prison recently, but there is still no condition to eat pastries or something, at this moment I saw the sweetness of Bai Qian's food, Cangwu Jingkite raised his eyebrows and smiled: "My Lord Bai, you came to see me with a food box today, won't it be just to let me see you eat pastries!" โ
Bai Qian raised his eyebrows, looked at Cangwu Jing Kite and said, "Yes!" In the past, it was only you who bullied me, and now of course I have to take this opportunity to bully and bully you. โ
As he spoke, Bai Qian smiled slyly, and once again pinched a piece of pastry and pretended to send it to his mouth.
Seeing this, Cangwu Jingyuan moved her fingers and directly pulled the belt of her prison uniform, and with a movement of her wrist, the belt passed through the iron prison door and directly wrapped around Bai Qian's waist, in Bai Qian's exclamation, Cangwu Jingyuan pulled her directly to the cell door with a slight force in her hand, and her lips pressed into her hand through the prison door, and she steadily bit off most of the osmanthus cake.
Seeing that Cangwu Jing Kite had no image of eating osmanthus crisp, Bai Qian couldn't help but laugh for a while and struggled to break the trouser pocket that was wrapped around her waist, and said helplessly: "Jing Kite, you let go of me first, can't I give you all the pastries?" โ
Cangwu Jingkite tugged on his trouser belt and didn't mean to let go at all, swallowed the osmanthus crisp in his mouth, Cangwu Jingkite deliberately reached out and hooked his white chin, raised his eyebrows and said: "Tell me first, how did I bully you on weekdays?" I won't let it go if I don't make it clear! โ
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan asking, Bai Qian's face flushed slightly, and his eyes were a little evasive: "Under the plane tree that day, what did you do if you didn't bully me?" โ
Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan subconsciously moved her gaze to Bai Qian's delicate lips, and her eyes turned dark and said: "If that is also bullying, then I really want to bully you for the rest of my life." โ
As if knowing that Cangwu Jingkite would definitely not be able to do anything to himself if he was locked up in prison at this time, Bai Qian raised his eyebrows and snorted lightly: "It's not certain who will bully who at that time!" โ
"Huh?" Hearing this, Cangwu Jingkite snorted softly, leaned a little closer, leaned out of the iron fence and wrapped around Bai Qian's slender waist, her fingertips rubbed ambiguously around her waist, and her eyes moved down and stopped at her chest with a little ill will. The former abundance. Yingchu hooked his lips and smiled: "My Lord Bai really thinks so? โ
The hand around his waist brought up a burst of โกโก, and Bai Qian knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly softened his voice and said, "Am I wrong?" Let go of me first, will I feed you pastry? โ
Cangwu Jingyi snorted, loosened the trouser belt wrapped around Bai Qian's waist, looked at her slightly flushed little face and said, "If it weren't for the fact that this princess is now disheveled and doesn't want to leave a bad impression on you after getting close to you, this mere cage really can't stop me." โ
Bai Qian covered his lips and chuckled, knowing that he must be the one who suffered in the end by struggling with her, so he took out a piece of pastry from the food box and handed it to Cangwu Jingyuan's lips, "I know that you will still suffer in prison, but I personally cooked this pastry." โ
Cangwu Jingkite leaned up and took a bite, looking at Bai Qian and saying with a smile while eating: "I'll just say how this taste is different from the craftsmanship of your Xueyang Palace cook." โ
Bai Qian unceremoniously pinched Cangwu Jingkite's ears when he heard this, "What did you say?" โ
Cangwu Jingyuan pretended to howl in pain, and hurriedly smiled: "I haven't finished saying this yet, I mean, your craftsmanship is even better than the craftsmanship of the chef of Xueyang Palace, and as long as it is cooked by Lord Bai of my family, I like to eat it." โ
Hearing this, Bai Qiancai let go of the hand that was pinching Jing Kite's ear, and pretended to be angry on his face, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Just when the two of them were eating snacks and laughing, another big event happened in the palace.
The empress prepared the local dishes of the northern plains for the prince of the northern plains, according to the custom, the eunuchs around him should test the poison for him, and everyone didn't care much about it, but when the silver needle was inserted and โกโก, the eunuch's face changed, and the silver needle was black all over, obviously there was poison in this meal.
The prince of Kitahara is no longer as good-tempered as before, and he is in a foreign land, but he has been killed repeatedly, and anyone will be angry. He put down his chopsticks slowly and sneered: "It seems that there are people who don't want to negotiate peace between the two countries." โ
The eunuch who tested the poison had already gone to report the matter to the empress, and as soon as the empress heard about it, she hurried over, and Cangwu Jinxiu, the imperial husband, the noble monarch and other cadres also rushed over after hearing the news.
Seeing the Empress of Cangwu Kingdom coming, the prince of Beiyuan arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Empress, it's really not that I want to alarm you, it's just that I don't know if this king has offended people, or if someone is deliberately trying to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and he has poisoned this king every time, you say, how can this king believe in the sincerity of Cangwu Kingdom?" His last sentence was quite harsh, and both Cangwu Jinxiu and Cangwu Lingxue changed their faces at the same time.
The empress sank her eyes, looked at the prince of Beiyuan and said comfortingly: "The prince is calm and don't be impatient, I will definitely give you an explanation." Come! Xuan Taiyi tested for poison. โ
The imperial doctor was about fifty years old, he took the silver needle, carefully inserted it into the meal, and then took it out very quickly, but in just a few seconds, the silver needle had already turned black, he quickly smeared the things on the silver needle on the cloth, and then I didn't know what to add to the cloth, and after a while, I saw that the cloth gradually emitted a burning smell, and the place where the medicine was stained was actually burned a hole.
The empress's face was very ugly, she frowned, and asked, "Imperial Doctor Yuan, what kind of medicine is this?" โ
"Hui Majesty." The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his expression was very solemn, "This is a very vicious medicine, called 'Guolu San', the so-called 'Guolusan', which means that once it enters the human body, no matter what kind of organ it is, it will be eroded by it." After being poisoned, the person will be quickly eroded until there is no trace left and turn into a pile of ashes. โ
"What a vicious heart!" The empress couldn't hold back, shouted angrily, and knelt down a group of palace maids and eunuchs around her.
"Is there a way you can find out where this medicine came from?"
"Back to your majesty, this medicine is very vicious, usually not sold on the bright side, if you want to find the source of the sale, I'm afraid it's not easy, but this medicine is not only harmful to the mouth, but also harmful to the touch, the most common reaction is that the contact part will stop twitching, and the general convulsions will last up to a day, so ......"
The imperial physician didn't finish his words, but lowered his head meaningfully, but the empress understood, she looked around, and said calmly: "Summoning all the palace maids and eunuchs to me, I will personally examine them one by one." โ
"The Mother." Cangwu Jinxiu suddenly spoke, "Suyi is sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up." "That plain dress is the close-fitting girl of Cangwu splendor.
The empress was just about to speak, but the prince of Kitahara, who had been silent, opened her mouth, "A little palace maid dares to call herself sick?" โ
When the empress heard this, her eyes sank, and she looked at Cangwu Jinxiu coldly and said, "If you are sick, then let someone carry it over!" โ
Cangwu Jinxiu's heart tightened when she heard this, so she had to follow the empress's instructions.
But half a cup of tea, in front of the palace where the prince of Beiyuan lived, a group of people knelt down in the dark, and the empress looked at them one by one, but found nothing, and when she arrived at the plain clothes, the empress asked her to stretch out her hand, but saw her bow her head and did not speak.
"Reach out!" The Empress shouted.
"The slave and maid suddenly had a vicious disease, and her hands were terrifying, for fear of staining Her Majesty's eyes." Su Yi said sincerely.
The empress looked suspicious in her heart and said, "Stretch out, if it is really just a bad disease, I will not blame you." โ
Su Yi gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand, her hand was covered with black spots, not only did not tremble a little, but also looked a little stiff.
When the empress saw that she had found nothing, she was a little discouraged, and she wanted to check on her.
"Wait, Your Majesty." Imperial Physician Yuan boldly walked over, he pulled out Su Yi's hand, sneered and said, "It's this person's poison." โ
"But didn't you say that the hands of those who poisoned them trembled?"
"Not really." The imperial physician pointed to Su Yi's hand, "Not only will the hands of the people who touch the 'passers-by' not only not tremble, but also very stiff, the minister just said that, just to prevent the poisoned person from following the minister's words to disguise, and I hope that His Majesty will forgive the minister's crime of bullying the king." โ
"Imperial Physician Yuan, I forgive you for your innocence." The empress turned her face to plain clothes and said word by word: "Bold and cheap, who instructed you to do such a lowly thing?" โ
Su Yi didn't expect Imperial Doctor Yuan to perform such a play, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly lay on the ground and kept kowtowing, and the weakness just now was gone, and she only shouted vigorously: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty your life." โ
The empress glanced at the plain clothes who were lying on the ground and almost lost half her life, and suddenly her eyes looked sharply at Cangwu Jinxiu.
Cangwu Jinxiu was shocked by this look, hurriedly knelt down, and hurriedly defended: "Mother Emperor, this matter has nothing to do with Erchen, Erchen doesn't know that the poison is under plain clothes." โ
"Princess!" When the palace maid heard Cangwu Jinxiu say such heartless words, she couldn't help but raise her head, wept sadly, and looked at her with tears in her eyes.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him suspiciously, Cangwu Jinxiu was even more anxious, and regardless of the presence of the prince of Beiyuan, he turned around and raised his hand to fight Suyi.
"Stop!"
Hearing the empress's voice, Cangwu Jinxiu put down her hand stupidly.
"I ask you, where did this medicine come from?" Su Yi didn't answer, and after a while, I saw blood gurgling from her mouth, and she actually bit her tongue and committed suicide.
Seeing that the palace maid was dead, the prince of Beiyuan sneered: "I'm afraid that this palace maid is under the command of some powerful person behind her back, and maybe there is a handle in that person's hands." โ
