Chapter 040: Poison? Drugged?
Until the first two days of the moon, the palace had already begun preparations for the festival.
Du Wanruo knew that King Wei should have arrived in the capital, but she didn't deliberately inquire, just waited patiently according to the plan.
In the past few days, she has become more and more likely to shorten the time she resists, and slowly let Li Muchen relax her vigilance.
That night, she deliberately lasted until the end, endured heavy fatigue, lay on Li Muchen's chest, and told him that she had figured it out, she wanted to be with him, and she would never be separated until she was old.
She didn't dare to look at him say this, but she waited for a long time before she heard Li Muchen's response coming from above her head, "Hmm." ”
A simple 'um'.
Du Wanruo didn't care whether he believed it or not, and boldly put forward a request that he would accompany him to the Yuelao Temple to petition the next day.
Li Muchen tightened the arms that hugged her, pressed his lips between her hair, and it took a long while before he said 'en' again.
For fear that Li Muchen would see through her tricks, she didn't look at him the whole time, but after getting an answer, she forcibly closed her eyes, pretended to be asleep, and then really fell asleep unconsciously.
In order not to cause unnecessary riots, the next morning, they disguised themselves as big households, got into a carriage, and brought a team of people to disperse the incense worshippers in the temple, and surrounded the Yuelao Temple for the two of them to offer incense.
The incense of the Yuelao Temple has always been very prosperous, so the temple also spent money to expand the temple, after the main hall, built a few spacious side rooms to come out, and put light and elegant dishes.
Don't underestimate these dishes, each name has a meaning.
For example, the full moon is good, then the beautiful scenery of a good day, then the hundred years of good together, and then the eternal union.
Not only that, but each chamber also has a corresponding nickname.
Miao Zhu has a good eye, and when he saw that Li Muchen and Du Wanruo who came today were not an ordinary couple, they looked needless to say, both of them were dressed in luxury, as if they were surrounded by a layer of light, where to go, where to shine.
So, Li Muchen and her were naturally arranged in the best wing room in the mouth of the temple.
The name of the house is what Du Wanruo likes, and it is called Bai Shou is inseparable.
Plain to the whitehead, never separated.
Miaozhu can be described as lucky today, and met Li Muchen, the big gold lord, because the first time he came, he didn't worry about the silver when he was the prince, so Miaozhu asked for a plate of the dishes he peddled bitterly.
It's a shame that he is not a restaurant here, otherwise there would not be so many dishes in the room.
Seeing this, Miao Zhu began to feel the need to add a few more dishes in the future to meet the needs of different consumer groups.
If Du Wanruo came to this point according to the plan, she couldn't help but regret it.
Before the fasting began, she said that she had something left in the main hall, probably dropped when worshipping the old statue of the moon, because it was her own belongings, she was reluctant to fake others, so she got up and prepared to get it herself.
Unknowingly, Li Muchen volunteered to let her stay, and he went to help her get it back.
"What is it?" Li Muchen asked.
Du Wanruo blushed, pretending to be shy and said, "It's a piece of hair tied with a red rope, I heard that if you wrap your hair around the bell on the big tree in the temple with your lover, the fate of the two people will be entangled for life and life, and you can't untie it." ”
Li Muchen smiled at her like a spring breeze and left.
The sunlight outside the house hit his face, imprinting a soft halo, and the moment he smiled, Du Wanru seemed to see him again as if he was gentle and elegant in the past.
She subconsciously clenched her fists, deliberately waiting for a while, until she could no longer hear Li Muchen's departing footsteps outside, she came to the door, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, she hurriedly returned to the table full of fasting food.
She took out the two packets and a pill from her waist, one of which was a drug and the other was a poison, the pill was the antidote and prevented her from being succumbed to the drug.
She knew that King Wei had long wanted to get rid of Li Muchen, but she really didn't want to be an executioner.
So, she put the poison away, then poured the packet into the flask, tucked the wrapper back into her waist, and then took the pill herself.
Good, that's all.
As long as Li Muchen is charmed, and then shouts loudly that there are assassins, she can take advantage of the chaos to go away with the King of Wei who came to meet her.
Xu had never done such a thing, and her heart was beating so hard at the moment, as if her heart might burst out of her throat at any time.
Not long after, Li Muchen came back and brought back the hair that she had deliberately forgotten.
When Du Wanruo was about to reach out to pick it up, Li Muchen put the hair in his arms and said that he would put it there first, and then go under the tree with her later.
Du Wanruo nodded sneeringly.
Then he followed him with chopsticks and ate fasting.
On weekdays, Li Muchen also has the habit of eating vegetables and drinking, but today he didn't move the pot of wine.
Du Wanruo was a little weak-hearted, and even more anxious, in case he didn't drink all the time, the plan would be in vain.
Maybe she has seen too many times of wine, Li Muchen also glanced at the pot of wine imperceptibly, put aside his chopsticks, and said with a smile as usual, "I heard that the peach blossom brew here is taken from the peach blossoms that bloom most in spring, plus the mountain spring, buried under the peach tree, going through the three seasons of summer, autumn and winter, and staying until the same time in the spring of the following year, it is taken out and sealed in the wine cellar. ”
Du Wanruo heard of it for the first time, Rao nodded clearly, just following this outlet, she immediately got up, grabbed the handle of the wine pot, and said with a smile, "It's a rare wine, why don't Your Highness have a drink with your concubine?" ”
Du Wanruo knew that her acting skills were not at home, and she didn't even dare to imagine if the smile on her face betrayed her when she said this.
But, even if she imagined it, she could imagine that her smile at the moment must be difficult to see.
If she can't hide it, she will fall short, and she will not complain, because this is her life!
What can't be done, always can't be done!
She filled the wine glass for Li Muchen, and then filled it for herself, she didn't care whether Li Muchen picked up the glass of wine or not, but raised her glass and drank it first, as if she was intentionally telling Li Muchen that this wine is fine.
She felt a stiff shell suddenly grow on her face, as if she didn't know herself anymore.
She felt her true self curled up in her body, and it was someone else who dominated it.
She watched the man walk towards Li Muchen, and then persuaded him to drink with a smile.
Li Muchen just looked at the glass of wine in front of him, and was distracted for a long time, without spitting out a word, he picked up the wine glass and said, If His Royal Highness doesn't drink it, the concubine will do it for him.
As soon as the two fingers pinched the cup, they were about to pick it up when Li Muchen held it down.
I saw Li Muchen looking up at him with a gentle gaze, and said with a smile, "I feed you every time, take advantage of today, you can also feed me once." As he spoke, he let go of the hand that was holding her.
After a moment of shock, Du Wanruo regained his smile, and when he picked up the glass of wine, he obviously didn't feel anything in his heart, but he couldn't help but tremble lightly.
The wine in the glass spilled no more or less, and she tried very hard to control her wrist so that it would not shake anymore, but unfortunately her body never obeyed.
Just when she wanted to use her other hand to hold the wrist holding the wine glass, trying to control the trembling, Li Muchen did it one step ahead of her.
The trembling finally stopped.
Li Muchen's warm palm wrapped around her already cold slender wrist, and slowly brought the wine glass full of drugs close to his lips, and he looked at Du Wanruo the whole time, his eyes were as calm as a windless pool.
"I lost." He spat out the words, and then a big smile broke out on his face.
Finally, I drank the glass of wine without the slightest hesitation.
