Volume 2: The Undead in Captivity 13 is poisonous
"All the good wine is wasted, really, so the blind must have the consciousness of the blind, doesn't this add chaos to people?" Cheng Xue, who had been silent, spoke up.
As soon as he spoke out, it attracted Chu Rongqin's angry glare, "It's your business!" ”
Cheng Xue was yelled at by Chu Rongqin, and she was unwilling, she endured it once, how could she endure it the second time?
"Chu Rongqin, pay attention to what you say, did Miss Ben say something wrong? A good meal was interrupted by her, who is not angry? ”
"We're not angry, you have a lot of things, if you don't like to wait, let me go, and besides, the name of this county lord is not something you can call!"
"You ......"
The two quarreled directly, and Cheng Xue was choked by Chu Rongqin, and immediately became angry.
Hmph, but there is only one county lord who is himself, what is there to be proud of?
A county lord who has no power in the palace is inferior to her, the daughter of a powerful minister!
"Xue'er, stop arguing, discourage!"
Xie Mo on the side stretched out her hand to dissipate Cheng Xue's anger, and when Cheng Xue looked at the eyes that everyone cast at her very displeased, she was even more stunned and depressed.
Picking up the wine glass on one side, he gulped it down, and sat alone and sulked.
The table dishes were ruined by wine and couldn't be eaten at all, and Chu Rongzhen's body was also stained with red marks, so Chu Rongqin asked Shui Liu to buy a skirt for her to replace.
In the end, everyone left, Xie Mo and Cheng Xue left first, and after two sentences of cold care, he took a deep look at Chu Rongzhen, and left with his words.
Chu Rongzhen opened Chu Rongqin under the pretext of opening it and sat face to face with Ling Liang.
Neither of the two spoke, but in the end, Chu Rongzhen said lightly, "Cousin, don't you ask anything?" ”
Ling Liang looked at Chu Rongzhen's eyes and opened his lips, but he didn't know how to answer.
He wanted to ask, he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask.
"Zhen'er, why do you say your sister can't drink that wine?" A lot of things he wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask anything, afraid that if he did, she would stay away from him from now on.
Obviously your eyes are intact, but why pretend?
"Because it's poisonous!" Chu Rongzhen sat on the chair, raised his eyes, and replied lightly.
A poisonous sound made Ling Liang suddenly fall into his heart, "Poisonous? We drank it too, and we didn't feel sick! ”
"Because it's specifically for my sister and me."
"What do you mean?"
Ling Liang's expression began to turn serious, if it was really aimed at his cousin, then this was a murder, right?
"The poison is in the soup, I believe all of you drink it, right?" After Chu Rongzhen saw Ling Liang nodding, he continued: "I don't know what medicine is in the soup, but I can smell the smell of Chinese medicine in it, not ginseng angelica." ”
"Hmm!" Ling Liang nodded, waiting for her next words.
"My sister doesn't eat bean sprouts, but on the contrary, when you eat bean sprouts, I smell a burst of Chinese medicine again, my sense of smell is very smart, I can be sure that the table is full of meals, only the soup and bean sprouts are mixed with medicine." Raising her eyes and glancing at Ling Liang, Chu Rongzhen said with a straight face: "So I guess that the soup is poisonous, and the dish is the antidote, but my sister doesn't eat bean sprouts, isn't this just for her?" I don't think my sister will clip the dishes that I don't eat, and they are also for me. ”
"Then why can't your sister drink?"
"This red wine is wine, usually made from wild grapes, but there is a special substance on wild grapes, and I can't explain what the substance is for, but it can be said for sure that it has the effect of enhancing toxicity!"
Chu Rongzhen's explanation made Ling Liang suddenly understand, and his face was gloomy, "You mean, after someone poisoned the soup, he put the antidote in the bean sprouts, and then there was no problem in drinking that wine after the poison was resolved." But cousin, she didn't take the antidote, if she drank this wine again, the poison in her body would be enhanced, and what would be the final result? ”
"Look at the strength of the toxicity, some die immediately, and some for a few hours!"
"So in the end, it's a dead end?"
Ling Liang couldn't believe it, someone actually poisoned them in front of them, who was it? Who wanted to kill cousin?
"Yes, it is estimated that except for the murderer, no one knows about the poison in the soup, and naturally there is no antidote. Because the last bowl was accidentally knocked over by me. Looking at Ling Liang's gaze, Chu Rongzhen added again: "I didn't expect it to really be overturned!" ”
Ling Liang was stunned for a moment and smiled kindly.
"And your eyes?" After the atmosphere eased, Ling Liang spoke softly.
Chu Rongzhen raised her eyes and smiled slightly: "About a month ago, I slowly saw it after I was scratched by a maid ring and hit my head against the pillar, but my sister didn't know, I didn't say it!" ”
"Why? Your sister will be happy to find out. ”
"If I suddenly announce that my eyes are better, what will others think? What's more, my mother personally examined me and confirmed that my eyes would not get better in two years. ”
Chu Rongzhen's words made Ling Liang silent.
Yes, even my aunt was diagnosed that she would get better in two years, and suddenly saying yes would only arouse the suspicion of others and wonder if she was a person with a heavy heart.
The two were silent for a while, and Chu Rongzhen suddenly whispered softly, "Cousin, can you keep it secret for me?" I think it's natural to wait until the time comes, I don't want to arouse the suspicion of the mother, and finally the mother is willing to teach her with all her might, I don't want to make her feel estranged because of this......"
Ling Liang raised his head and looked at Chu Rongzhen, who had been quietly examining it.
Chu Rongzhen raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were calm and did not fluctuate.
There are no fluctuating eyes, even if the secret is known, there is no worry or fear, when did it start, the memory of Zhen'er became like this?
Ruthless, calm and calm, this is the current Zhen'er?
Timid, self-contained and silent, this is the Jane he knew before!
His eyes kept on Chu Rongzhen's body, watching her reach out to hook the hair around her ear, the sleeves of her shirt slipped down, revealing her wrist full of scars.
These are old wounds, old wounds left over from the abuse of the original body.
There are Mrs. Ying, there are Yahuan slaves, and there are Chu Ronglin's......
"You hurt ......"
Chu Rongzhen was stunned for a moment, followed his line of sight and glanced at the old wound on his wrist, and put it away quietly, "It's nothing, it's just the old wound from before!" ”
An understatement made Ling Liang's heart hurt.
He didn't know why he was distressed, and there was still a slight sour feeling in his heart.
Pretending to be blind is just to live a better life, as a concubine, even if she has the protection of her sister, will she still be bullied like this?
He is not a concubine, he doesn't know the life of a concubine, has he heard that concubines are stepping stones for concubines, is it true?
Hiding the sourness in his heart, Ling Liang looked at Chu Rongzhen with a straight face, and promised: "I understand, I will keep your affairs secret!" ”
"Thank you, cousin!"
With a faint smile, as if relieved, an unsuspecting smile appeared in front of Ling Liang, making his heart beat a few times faster.
After talking to Ling Liang for a while, Chu Rongqin walked in with her clothes and asked her to change into them.
When leaving, Chu Rongqin was called aside by Ling Liang and seemed to be talking about something.
Chu Rongzhen glanced at it lightly, stood aside, and smiled lightly.
Anyway, Ling Liang promised her that she wouldn't say it, so there shouldn't be any worries, his reputation is better than that word.
Suddenly, there was a fluctuation in the air, Shu'er flashed lightly, and when she came back to her senses, she held a sharp arrow firmly in her hand.
Not only her, but Chu Rongqin's side also suddenly appeared a hidden arrow attack, and there were quite a few.
The assassination in broad daylight caused a panic among the people to flee in all directions......
Chu Rongzhen was pushed by pedestrians and was forced to move forward.
Once it is pushed down, the pedestrians behind will continue to rush over and trample on it, and they have no choice but to follow the flow of people to leave.
She was squeezed and was not discovered, and several black-clothed assassins appeared beside Chu Rongqin and Ling Liang behind her, holding weapons and stabbing them at close range......
was pushed far away, Chu Rongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, with Shu'er behind her, it was somewhat relaxed.
Holding on to the wall with one hand, Chu Rongzhen was completely disoriented.
Don't blame her, there are all heads as far as the eye can see, where does she have the leisure to remember the way?
"Shu'er, where is this?" One hand is holding the wall, the other hand is on the waist, and he is a little panting.
Her body is really weak, and she is out of breath like this.
"I'll go and see, you stand still!"
Shu'er didn't know, and after speaking, she jumped on someone else's roof and looked around.
When Chu Rongzhen was panting, he suddenly heard an abnormal noise, leaned against the wall, walked lightly, and walked to a corner, and when he looked at the scene in front of him, he couldn't wait to throw himself a big ear scraper.
Damn curiosity!
In the relatively remote alley, the two sides are fighting, one is a group of people in black, and they are all fierce. A group of people in white robes, their identities are known at a glance, they are the dark department!
The two sides of the men and horses scuffled together, and the ground was littered with corpses, and the leaders of both sides were also entangled.
One black and one white, she knows the white shadow, it is Shen Wang Yeqing, and the black shadow is the masked man, which is estimated to be the leader of the man in black.
The two were entangled together, but Yeqing's expression was wrong, his face was sweating profusely, his brows were furrowed, his internal strength was weak, and he was obviously at a disadvantage.
The man in black moved very quickly and ruthlessly, obviously killing him.
After a while, I saw a sword in Yeqing's body, and the wolf fell to the ground.
The man in black put away his sword and stepped forward to check, but Yeqing, who fell to the ground, immediately opened his eyes and stabbed a sword into the chest of the man in black.
Taking advantage of this gap, Yeqing quickly retreated and ran towards the place where Chu Rongzhen was.
Seeing this, Chu Rongzhen secretly took a sip.
Damn, her luck is really unlucky, and she definitely didn't look at the yellow calendar when she went out.
didn't think about it, lifting the skirt, Chu Rongzhen turned around and ran.
I was out of breath for a while, and now I have to run for my life, and I feel sad when I think about it.
Behind him, Yeqing looked at a thin figure in front of him, squinted slightly, and glanced at the pursuers behind him, as if he was thinking about something.
The man in black behind him was holding a bow and arrow, and he saw the leader covering his chest and giving an order, "Release!" ”
The rain of arrows struck in the direction of Ye Qing and Chu Rongzhen.
When Chu Rongzhen heard the voice, she didn't look back, and her steps to escape became faster.
