Chapter 211: Blatant Poisoning
211. Blatantly poisoned
Wei Ling was quite displeased with the unscrupulous gaze of these men, and when he looked up coldly, everyone only felt a chill coming, and then they were all shaken. Some people are interested and have restrained their gaze, but some people don't care about Wei Ling's warning at all.
When Wei Ling saw Xuanyuan Lei sitting below, even he was a little surprised, the Xuanyuan family has never been involved in the affairs of the imperial court, and it was somewhat strange to sit here and become the emperor's guest at this time.
But at this time, it was not the time to think about Xuanyuan Lei, Huo Jun was still standing on the opposite side and looking at Huo Mei with fierce eyes, how could Wei Ling allow her to continue to embarrass Huo Mei.
Wei Ling smiled faintly as if inadvertently, and said slowly to Huo Jun: "Huo Jieyu smiled, whether you believe those rumors in the rivers and lakes or not, Wei Ling will not divorce his wife in this life, just like I will not take a concubine for my wife in this life!" If there are such rumors in the future, please ask Huo Jieyu to spread the word, so that Weichen can settle accounts with these nonsense people! ”
Huo Jun looked at Huo Mei with a gloomy face, and glared at Wei Ling fiercely, fortunately she was facing away from Liu Xun at the moment, otherwise this fierce appearance would probably scare Liu Xun. But since she didn't get any favors from Khomey, she silently returned to her seat.
Mrs. Huo had been watching everything that was happening from afar, she glanced at Huo Mei with a deep face, and then lowered her head to drink tea. Huo Guang has been saying that he is sick at home these days, not because he is hypocritical, but because he is really unwell. And Huo Yu asked the emperor to send him to the south, so only Mrs. Huo went to the banquet this time.
The people around her were congratulating her, and the two daughters she gave birth to were married so well, one was the emperor's concubine. One is the general's wife, and this Sima Mansion will be even more prominent in the future.
The sycophancy of these people. Mrs. Huo responded coldly and then stopped talking, prominent? Hum. Rats' eyes! Looking up at the queen sitting in the first place, Mrs. Huo's gaze was cold, sooner or later she would pull Xu down and let her daughter sit on it.
At this time, Huo Mei was unimpressed by Huo Jun's aggressiveness, and reached out to take it when she saw the fruit in front of her, and Wei Ling saw that she was holding a watermelon, so she quickly grabbed it.
"Why are you disobedient again? You can't eat cold food when you're cold, forgot? Huo Mei looked at such a small piece of watermelon greedily, and it seemed that he wanted to eat it. Wei Ling insisted on not giving it to her.
"Have you forgotten Lord Song's instructions? The result of greedy cold may hurt the child, are you still ready to eat? Wei Ling looked at Wei Ling with resentment and shrank back silently.
Seeing her like this, Wei Ling was naturally distressed, Chang'an City was still in early spring, and the weather was still cold, so for a cold thing like watermelon, Huo Mei couldn't eat it, which showed that she was very greedy. Wei Ling was also reluctant to see her unable to eat what she wanted. So he brought in a plate of fruit and fed it to her mouth.
"This is specially prepared for you by the queen mother, you taste it, this fruit is sweeter than watermelon!" Huo Meihu looked at the red fruit on his mouth suspiciously. I opened my mouth and ate one, and the crisp and raw ones were indeed very sweet, but there seemed to be a pit in them. When she opened her mouth to vomit, she saw that Wei Ling's hand had reached her mouth.
Huo Mei was a little embarrassed to cover her mouth with her sleeve, and then spit out the kernel in Wei Ling's palm. Wei Ling, who was still full of fierceness just now. At this moment, he looked at Huo Mei with tenderness, and almost held Huo Mei in the palm of his hand. This kind of Wei Ling fascinated Lin Weixue even more, staring at Wei Ling with a pair of eyes, and even Huo Mei felt the burning heat in her eyes.
Frowning slightly, he raised his head and glanced at Wei Ling, so that he was no longer eating the fruit he handed over. The atmosphere that was originally happy was ruined by someone, Wei Ling also glared at Lin Weixue very unhappily, and the chill in his eyes made Lin Weixue shrink her neck, and she was not lightly frozen.
"Today is a family banquet, the main thing is that I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for General Wei, you Aiqing don't be restrained!" The ministers ordered the ladies to get up and thank the emperor for his grace, and then they dared to sit down and eat the food in front of them.
The imperial meal looks exquisite, but the taste is unsatisfactory, the queen has specially prepared food, especially the daily nutritious porridge, which is made of old ginseng, seeing that the palace people brought the porridge bowl over, the queen handed the porridge bowl to Wei Ling.
"Ah Ling, let Mrs. Wei eat this bowl of porridge! The imperial food in the palace is too greasy and not suitable for pregnant women. ”
"Thank you, Queen!" Xu smiled, unimpressed.
"When have you been so polite in front of me, I didn't give you less when I was a child!" Wei Ling also smiled, but soon felt that his waist tightened, and Huo Mei's hand holding his waist suddenly tightened his strength, Huo Mei's strength was not great, but it was still a little tingling.
thought that Huo Mei was different, so he hurriedly turned back. "What's wrong? Where is it uncomfortable? Huo Mei's face was full of horror, Wei Ling followed her gaze and found that Huo Mei was looking at the queen, and then Huo Mei's faint voice came from her ears, which startled Wei Ling.
"Ah Ling, I just saw the light return!" After a long time, Wei Ling was shocked and asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean?"
"Queen Mother...... "Wei Ling doesn't know much about poisons, so she doesn't know the symptoms of human poisoning very accurately, but Huo Mei, who has studied poisons since she was a child, although she has amnesia, she still understands some pharmacology and reactions.
The queen's face is a little swollen, which seems to others to be the most normal, because the queen is pregnant, and her body will naturally be a little swollen, but the blue under the queen's eyes, as well as the symptoms of yellowing of the whites of her eyes, make Huo Mei's heart tighten, if she is not mistaken, the queen has been poisoned, and she is already terminally ill......
Huo Mei's hand clenched in his sleeve, and suddenly a strange smell came into his nose, Huo Mei looked down at the porridge bowl, scooped a spoonful and licked it lightly, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he stared at the porridge bowl in a daze for a long time.
At this moment, two eyes shot at her, and the sensitive Huo Mei raised her head and saw Mrs. Huo's deep gaze, as well as the viciousness in Huo Jun's eyes.
It turned out to be them, Huo Mei's hands were shaking, how could she forget, Mrs. Huo had wanted to poison herself all the time since she was born, so it was not unusual for them to poison the queen. Looking at the vicious gaze cast on the other side, Huo Mei smiled faintly and prepared to drink porridge very calmly. As a result, the hand holding the porridge bowl was suddenly touched by Wei Ling's arm, and the bowl was broken. Wei Ling knelt in front of the queen with some regret.
"Weichen deserves death, and he actually knocked over the food you gave him!" Xu smiled disapprehantly. raised his hand to signal the palace people to come and take the broken bowl away, and was about to signal the palace people to prepare a copy for Huo Mei, but saw Huo Jun coming over with the bowl.
"The queen's porridge is stewed with old ginseng, my sister doesn't like to eat ginseng soup when she is at home, I have a bowl of lotus seed soup here, which is my sister's favorite food in Sima Mansion in the past, and my sister borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and used it to make up for my sister's body!" Huo Mei smiled, looking at the soup bowl in front of him and didn't mean to take it. This Huo Jun seems to be too impatient, and he is about to poison himself in front of everyone, Huo Mei's eyes are full of disdain, and such clumsy acting skills are also prominent, she is not afraid that Huo Mei will really drink and die in this palace, will she also be suspicious?
Huo Mei didn't answer, but he didn't want Wei Ling to take it, and he drank it as soon as he raised his head. This frightened Khomey. "Ah Ling, ...... you" Wei Ling smiled soothingly, looked at Huo Jun apologetically and said.
"Thank you Huo Jieyu for your kindness, compared to Madame. Weichen will be a little thirsty, the lotus seed soup is delicious, thank you Huo Jieyu! Huo Jun was blocked in his chest in one breath. She couldn't have a seizure in front of the emperor, but she saw that this lotus seed soup was drunk by Wei Ling. Huo Jun was still relieved. Anyway, her purpose is to make Huo Mei uncomfortable, even if it doesn't kill her. The man who killed her wasn't bad either.
Looking at Huo Jun's somewhat gloating eyes, how could Huo Mei not know what she meant, and glanced at Wei Ling worriedly, but Wei Ling held her hand comfortingly.
Waiting for Huo Jun to leave, Wei Ling whispered comfort in Huo Mei's ear. "I'm fine, don't worry, unless it's something I gave you, no one is allowed to eat it for you!"
Huo Mei nodded, and suddenly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and gave it to him, "This is Qinglu Pill, I don't know if it can detoxify you, you can secretly eat two pills!" ”
Wei Ling frowned, looked down at the antidote pill in his hand, and then looked up in the direction of the queen, Huo Mei instantly understood what he meant, reached out and shook Wei Ling's hand back, and said in a low voice: "The queen's mother has been deeply poisoned, and the Qinglu Pill may be able to delay the medicinal properties, but I am afraid that it will not work to detoxify!" ”
Holding the porcelain vase in his hand tightly, Wei Ling looked at Mrs. Huo and Huo Jun with deep eyes, he had already guessed that this matter would be done by them, and only the Huo family could dare to be so blatant in the inner courtyard of the palace, but what he couldn't figure out was that Liu Xun, who had always been extremely protective of the queen, didn't he notice it?
When he looked up, he happened to see Liu Xun feeding the poisonous ginseng porridge to the queen's mother, and his heart instantly became cold, just when Liu Xun looked up at Wei Ling and Huo Mei, Huo Mei quickly pinched Wei Ling, so that his gaffe was not seen by Liu Xun.
"I know you're feeling bad, but ...... This is not the place to get to the bottom of things, you took the Qinglu Pill first, and I'm thinking about a way on the queen's side, okay? ”
After listening to Huo Mei's words, Wei Ling put away his fierce anger, Huo Mei took the porcelain bottle and put two dew pills in the tea bowl to dissolve, and then handed the tea bowl to Wei Ling's mouth like a little daughter-in-law, Wei Ling drank very reluctantly, but Huo Mei still looked at him with a smile on his face.
This sudden change surprised the surrounding spectators, Wei Ling's expression seemed to be angry, and Huo Mei seemed to be currying favor with him, so it can be seen that Wei Ling's favor/love for Huo Mei may not be as deep as the spectators thought, and now Lin Weixue became excited, and only felt that her opportunity had come.
The banquet was naturally indispensable for some interesting programs, and the emperor asked Sun Liangyu to prepare a sword dance, and it was also a women's sword dance, which combined the softness of a woman with the sharpness of the sword, which was a unique taste.
And the lead dancer of this sword dance happened to be Lin Weixue, this time Lin Weixue had already changed into a red suit, her hair was wrapped in a sweat towel, and she wanted the emperor to hug her fist and say goodbye with a sword in her hand.
Liu Xun nodded, signaling that they could start, and Sun Liangyu spoke loudly.
"Below, is the sword dance prepared by the ladies of various families to catch the wind and wash the dust for the Wei family army!" Sun Liangyu's words fell, Lin Weixue put on a posture, and her movements were in place, but in Huo Mei's eyes, although these actions were good-looking, if they really went to the battlefield, they were afraid that they would be useless.
The battlefield is a desperate place, but you can't win the battle by dancing, Wei Ling didn't even look at this sword dance, he lowered his head and handed some food to Huo Mei's mouth, ate a few bites and handed over a tea bowl to feed her water, it seems that Wei Ling at this moment is full of eyes and hearts full of Huo Mei, and the others can't see it.
And Lin Weixue thought that Wei Ling would be impressed by her dancing posture, but she didn't think that Wei Ling didn't even look at her, but had been taking care of Huo Mei all the time, which made Lin Weixue quite angry.
With a beautiful turn, Lin Weixue swung the sword in her hand flexibly, and instantly scattered pieces of sword flowers, ushering in a lot of applause, but looking at Wei Ling again, she was still unmoved, Lin Weixue's heart was horizontal, and suddenly her heart was full of ideas.
I saw that she began to approach Wei Ling's side step by step along the posture of the sword dance, and then as if the move suddenly went wrong, the long sword stabbed in the direction of Huo Mei, and the person was affected by inertia and threw himself directly into Wei Ling's arms.
She originally planned to scare Huo Mei away, and then throw herself into Wei Ling's arms, and leave a good image for Wei Ling.
It's a pity that before she could get close to Wei Ling, she was swept out directly by Wei Ling with a wave of her sleeves, Lin Weixue was like a kite with a broken string, and fell directly to the ground, the wrap on her head was scattered, and her hair was scattered, like a madman.
And the fall just now was not light, Lin Weixue could hear the sound of bones hitting the ground, and tears of pain came out all of a sudden, but the long sword in his hand just now suddenly did not grasp it steadily, and fell directly.
It was also a coincidence that the sword fell in front of Huo Mei unbiasedly, the tip of the sword was facing Huo Mei's stomach, and it almost poked into Huo Mei's stomach, and there was a gasping sound around him, Wei Ling looked at Lin Weixue with a blue face, and his gaze seemed to be about to kill her.
"What a bold man, he dared to openly assassinate in front of His Majesty! Don't take this woman down yet! Huo Mei was also shocked, but she was not scared much, she knew that Lin Weixue would definitely not be able to hurt herself, but this frightened, her stomach suddenly twitched, and her lower abdomen was a little painful, subconsciously, she held her stomach and exhaled in pain.
"Ah, it hurts!"
Hearing Huo Mei cry out for pain, Wei Ling panicked, and quickly waved the long sword in front of Huo Mei, looking at Huo Mei's huge belly, he didn't dare to touch his hands.
"Madam, where does it hurt? Tell me about it! (To be continued......)
