Chapter Seventy-Four: Qin Yingxue is poisoned
The osmanthus flowers in the palace are in full bloom, and the fragrance fills the humid air with rain and mist. The whole palace www.biquge.info the whole palace, perhaps because of Liu Xunxuan's absence, it seems to be extremely quiet, and it is also a little lonely.
Zihuai has been staying here, she thinks that as long as she is always here, Liu Xunxuan will not feel flustered when she comes back, and she can help her take care of everything. After all these things, her original liveliness and enthusiasm have faded a lot, and she is now melancholy leaning on the railing and waiting for her lady every day.
"Niangniang, the slave maid said, in the entire palace, only the osmanthus in this Mingyue Palace blooms the best! Look at the osmanthus in the corner of the wall, the branches are decorated with several tender stamens, and it is pleasing to look at! ”
A tender woman's voice came excitedly and proudly.
"Jin Lian, how can there be osmanthus at this time? Isn't osmanthus blooming in September? You dead girl, you must think I'm drunk and come to bluff me again. Qin Yingxue's already fair face was slightly drunk and red at this time, and it was very good-looking.
"Oops! Don't you know? I heard that what kind of floor heating did Liu Xunxuan lay for Mingyue Palace, even in the cold winter wax moon, the palace is as warm and pleasant as spring! Jin Lian explained with a grin.
"The queen is such a genius? No wonder the emperor ...... to her, "Qin Yingxue paused, "Then can other palaces follow suit?" I don't know how much it costs? ...... in the emperor's palace"
"Concubine Niangniang," Jin Lian interrupted her and whispered, "It is said that it will cost ten thousand gold!" I heard that the queen's money was given by the sect master of Qumen! You say...... They ......"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qin Yingxue shouted angrily: "Only when this is the New Year's Festival will I spare you to be whipped." How can you be by my side when you chew the root of your tongue like this? Qin Yingxue was angry, and her face turned even redder with anger.
Jin Lian had already knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit her mistake.
"That's it." Qin Yingxue felt a little tired, and she was too lazy to teach a lesson, so she continued to walk.
Jin Lian hurriedly got up and gently helped her to step forward.
After a while, the group had arrived at the main gate of Mingyue Palace.
Jin Lian turned her head and glanced at the palace maid behind her.
The palace maid behind her hurriedly trotted forward to report, only to hear her running steps kick and tap for a while, and her sharp voice roared.
"Which one is out of order? The concubine arrived, why didn't anyone come to greet her? ”
Qin Yingxue heard this, lowered her eyebrows and pursed her lips, she had always known that Jin Lian and Zi Huai did not deal with each other, and it must have been Jin Lian's intention to make such a fuss today. She turned her head and glanced at Jin Lian coldly, and saw that she was supporting herself very seriously and carefully, so she also suppressed the words that came to her mouth, and stepped forward silently before anyone came to greet her.
Jin Lian lowered her head, feeling that the hand of the concubine she was holding was empty, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed, no longer speaking.
A puff of black smoke suddenly spread into the main hall, and none of the several palace maids and eunuchs who stayed behind noticed it. This wisp of smoke is like a wandering ghost, and it is like a water snake swimming in the water, changing its posture and swimming in slowly.
Zihuai suddenly heard someone shouting outside that the concubine had arrived, so he hurriedly turned out to greet him.
Jin Lian followed Qin Yingxue to the main hall of Mingyue Palace, and when she fell into her eyes, she saw Zi Huai, who was hurrying out of the inner room, wearing a lilac palace maid dress, a beautiful goose egg face, and cherry-dotted lips.
Jin Lian was a little angry for no reason, and she pointed at Zihuai and scolded without holding back for a while.
"You Nizi! If you want the concubine to wait for you, what crime should you be guilty of? ”
Zihuai hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty to Qin Yingxue, only saying that he was sorting out the queen's clothes in the inner room, and did not hear the summons.
Jin Lian didn't want to let her go so easily, and found some other reasons to reprimand her.
Isosulphur was already hidden in the dark at this time, and it was extremely impatient to see these female dependents arguing here. He controlled the black smoke and entered the inner room, and turned around without any breath of the Spirit Bead. He thought that Liu Xunxuan must have brought such an important thing with him, and only by catching Liu Xunxuan's personal maid could he ask where she was.
Ji Su was a little impatient at this time, he didn't care about the many people arguing in the main hall of the Bright Moon Palace, so he directly guided the black smoke to the main hall.
He hid behind the pillars of the main hall.
"You really ate leopard gall today, why don't you give our concubine this Mingyue Palace to live!" Jin Lian was scolding fiercely against Zihuai's head.
Zihuai knelt with low eyebrows, and the other maids in the palace also knelt behind her.
"Alright. It's enough to scold for so long and kneel for so long. There are some rules to keep in mind in the future. Qin Yingxue, who was sitting on the main seat, walked down with a solemn face, glanced at Jin Lian indifferently, and bent down to help Zihuai up, but suddenly saw a wisp of black smoke winding and drifting, heading straight for Zihuai's door.
She screamed in fright and pushed Zihuai away. Zihuai knelt on the ground and was pushed down for no reason, not knowing what happened.
Maybe it was Qin Yingxue's shout that disturbed Isosuo's mind, or maybe Qin Yingxue took a deep breath before screaming, and the wisp of black smoke turned in the air in a different direction, and actually turned back and slipped straight into Qin Yingxue's nose.
Qin Yingxue was so frightened that her whole body froze, and she couldn't stop the black smoke even if she held her breath.
The whole process was too fast, and the black smoke was too close to Qin Yingxue. She didn't have time to cover her mouth and nose, and the others didn't have time to save her. At this moment, she inhaled the black smoke, and the whole person had begun to emit black mist. The maids were so frightened that they hid to the side, not daring not to touch her. Zihuai was still lying on the ground, watching all this in disbelief.
The first to react was Jin Lian, "Niangniang! She shouted and pounced, and kept slapping the black smoke coming out of Qin Yingxue's body.
Qin Yingxue's consciousness had already begun to dissipate, and finally she only said intermittently, "Jin Lian, you are very good, Zihuai is also very good, don't hurt ...... anymore" and lost consciousness, and as soon as she sat on the ground, her whole body began to carbonize inch by inch.
"Don't! Empress! Jin Lian was frightened and didn't know what to do, she wanted to slap her body to stop the carbonization of Qin Yingxue's body, and she was afraid that touching her would speed up the carbonization, so she only seemed flustered and at a loss.
Everything is too fast!
At this time, Isosu jumped out from behind the pillar, and shouted at Zihuai, who was sitting on the ground, with a hoarse throat: "You! As long as you tell Liu Xunxuan's whereabouts, I will give her the antidote immediately, otherwise in just a pillar of incense, her whole body will turn into charcoal. ”
Zi Huai faced the sudden jump out of the isosulfur, frightened, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Please!" Jin Lian suddenly knelt down in front of Zihuai, kowtowed one after another, and kept saying: "Please, Aunt Zihuai, as long as you save the concubine, I, Jin Lian, am willing to be a maid for you, let you beat and scold and let you spoil ......"
"Alright. Stop it. Zi Huai frowned, thinking that Qin Yingxue's life could not be lost, Liu Xunxuan had told her to be good to her, and Qin Yingxue could be regarded as becoming like this to save her, but if he told her the whereabouts of his wife, he didn't know what he would do to his wife......
"Little girl, if you think about it again, she can't wait! Hey! Isosulphant laughed twice, in fact, he was more anxious than anyone else, after all, he sneaked in alone, and he didn't plan to fight the entire royal family.
"Okay, I'll tell you. But you have to save her first. Zihuai slowly stood up from the ground.
