Chapter 63: The Wedding Banquet (I)

After Aunt Yan took off her jewelry for Ling Man, she left Ling Man's room, she stood in the Yilan courtyard, looking up at the moon in the sky, today's dark clouds cover the sun, under the heavy dark clouds, a little moonlight is revealed, presumably there will be no sunny weather tomorrow.

She has been coming to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion for more than a month, and she has talked about the etiquette of the princess almost the same as Ling Man, as long as she escorts Ling Man to marry tomorrow, she can return to the palace, of course, she still has to complete Ling Xi's task, so that she can return to the palace with honor. Thinking of this, Aunt Yan couldn't help but sneer, it was time for her to meet Leng Qiuye.

Under the starry moonlight, Aunt Yan walked towards Leng Qiuye's room, Leng Qiuye's room was brightly lit, Leng Qiuye had just taken off her coat and was about to rest, when she saw Aunt Yan visiting, she was a little surprised.

To be honest, Leng Qiuye doesn't like Aunt Yan, this woman is from the court, maybe she was sent by Ling Xi, Ling Man had already stepped into the palace with one foot, and was driven out of the palace by Ling Xi like this, even if her mother died, Ling Xi couldn't wait to let Ling Man get married, how could Ling Xi not let Leng Qiuye grit her teeth very much, and how could she not be extremely guarded?

Leng Qiuye was a little displeased, and began to say like Aunt Yan: "Aunt Yan, is there anything else you have to explain?" It's too late today, let's talk about it early tomorrow morning. ”

"The slave maid has something she wants to tell Aunt Leng." Aunt Yan said softly.

Leng Qiuye was very unhappy, looking at Aunt Yan's somewhat arrogant posture, especially her Aunt Leng, who seemed to look down on Leng Qiuye a little, after all, Aunt Yan was just a subordinate in the palace, even if her daughter did not become a palace concubine, she was also the princess of the prince, how could she be more noble than a palace person.

"Aunt Yan, Madame has been dead for a while, and now the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is my Leng family's family, shouldn't you call me Madame?" Leng Qiuye said dissatisfiedly.

"Aunt Leng, this is not in accordance with the rules, the slave and maid don't dare." Aunt Yan continued to speak neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Leng Qiuye's face was extremely ugly, she held back the anger in her heart, and said even more unhappily: "If Aunt Yan is fine, please go back, tomorrow is my daughter's big day, I have to rest, otherwise tomorrow's wedding banquet will be without a housewife." ”

Leng Qiuye deliberately raised the tone of the last master mother, whether she is a wife or not, as soon as Jiang Shuangxue dies, this Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is her final say, and then wait for Ling Zhu to go to Chenzhou to take up her post, she will say more bad things about Ling Zhu in front of Ling Xiao, maybe this title is still her son Ling Hua.

Aunt Yan smiled slightly, she looked at Leng Qiuye, and said softly: "Aunt Leng, don't be in a hurry to bombard the slave and maid away, the slave and maid have something important to tell you, and you will definitely be interested." ”

"What's the big deal?" Leng Qiuye asked curiously.

Aunt Yan took out the brown porcelain bottle from her arms and swayed it in front of Leng Qiuye's eyes, Leng Qiuye was startled, didn't she let Ling Fu poison Jiang Shuangxue?

"Aunt Leng, do you know what this is?"

Leng Qiuye turned around a little weakly, she didn't dare to look at the porcelain vase in Aunt Yan's hand, she pretended to be calm and walked to the side

Sit down.

"Aunt Yan's things, how do I know what they are?"

"Aunt Leng doesn't know, the slave told you that this is poison, a rare poison, it is said that after eating the stars, you will not die, even if you eat a large amount, you will not die immediately, but when you accumulate enough poison in your body, as long as you drink alcohol, you will die violently, even if the imperial doctor can't detect the poison, Aunt Leng, you said that this poison can kill people invisibly, isn't it very powerful."

Aunt Yan walked in front of Leng Qiuye again, Leng Qiuye got up in a panic, wanting to escape from Aunt Yan's sight, but she didn't stand firm and almost fell to the ground, Aunt Yan stepped forward to help her, and the porcelain bottle in her hand appeared in front of Leng Qiuye's eyes again.

"Aunt Leng, be careful, if you fall and get injured, the slave won't be able to finish her words."

Leng Qiuye stared at Aunt Yan, and at this moment she was full of questions. How much does this woman know? Now are you testing her? Or are you planning something?

After Aunt Yan helped Leng Qiuye to the chair and sat down, she put the porcelain vase in her sleeve again, and then said slowly: "Aunt Leng, you are dying, the slave maid has already put the poison in the porcelain vase on you." ”

Leng Qiuye was startled, she immediately lost her mind, touched her wrist in a little panic, and said excitedly: "Impossible, I have never eaten the food you sent, I can't be poisoned." ”

Leng Qiuye calmed down a little, she secretly comforted herself, she was originally wary of Aunt Yan, she hadn't eaten Aunt Yan's things, how could she be poisoned?

"You haven't eaten the food of the slaves, but you have drunk the tea served by the third lady."

Leng Qiuye remembered that when Ling Man was learning the etiquette of the princess, he did serve tea to her a few times, but the tea at that time was all concocted by her, how could Aunt Yan have the opportunity to poison her?

"You don't have to scare me, even if I did? How can tea be poisonous if it doesn't pass through your hands? ”

"Tea is not poisonous, but what about tea bowls? The tea bowl that the third lady serves tea is a royal thing for the palace, and the slave maid has already put poison on the tea bowl, no matter whose tea Aunt Leng has, you will be poisoned. ”

Leng Qiuye was completely disappointed, how could she refuse her daughter's tea? Aunt Yan is too powerful, she is sure that she will not be wary of Ling Man, so she will poison Ling Man's tea. Her body began to shake, was she going to die?

"It's the queen, it's the queen who asked you to poison me." Leng Qiuye questioned Aunt Yan.

"What benefits did the queen give you, you dare to poison Princess Duan's biological mother and poison the most favored woman of Pingyuan Marquis, don't you want to live?" Leng Qiuye said angrily.

Aunt Yan smiled faintly, she came to Leng Qiuye's side, leaned over, and whispered: "Aunt Leng, you can go and tell your son-in-law Duanwang, about your poisoning, maybe this matter will cause trouble to Your Majesty, of course, Your Majesty will definitely find out that it was the slave maid who got the poison, and naturally you can find out the poison in the slave's hand, then the reason for the violent death of Mrs. Pingyuan Marquis will surface." And the slave will bite to death, because Aunt Leng is angry at the slave and the slave, and the slave and the maid hold a grudge, so they will give it

You poisoned it, as for where the poison came from, the slave will say that it was obtained from your Yilan Courtyard, and this matter will have nothing to do with the queen's mother. ”

Leng Qiuye, who was still angry just now, immediately looked like a deflated ball, lost her spirit, Aunt Yan looked at Leng Qiuye like this, sneered, and continued: "Of course, Aunt Leng can also go to Pingyuan Hou for help, but I am afraid that the death of the lady will not be able to hide from the Hou Ye, and then it will depend on how affectionate the Hou Ye is to you, so that you and your fifth young master will not be blamed in the past." And tomorrow Duanwang will marry the third lady, even if the Hou Ye knows about your poisoning, he shouldn't want people to know about the chaos in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye will probably turn a big thing into a small matter. Aunt Leng, you, there is no way out. ”

"What the hell do you want?" Leng Qiuye looked at Aunt Yan in a panic, she got up and clasped Aunt Yan's arm with both hands, what was this woman in front of her going to do, if she wanted her to die, why did she tell her?

"Aunt Leng, the queen mother said, you have to pay for Madame's life, as long as you are willing to pay for this life, the queen mother will not blame your child for the past. If you have to compete, the queen mother also said, King Duan probably doesn't know that the third lady has been favored by His Majesty, the Ling family's hometown needs a filial son to guard the tomb of his wife, and the fifth young master is just right. ”

As soon as Leng Qiuye heard this, her hands slowly slipped off Aunt Yan's body, and she was completely desperate. Suddenly, she knelt in front of Aunt Yan, and said with tears in her eyes: "Aunt Yan, I beg you, let me live, I can give you a lot of money, I have a hundred acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, I will give it to you, if you feel that it is not enough, I can ask King Duan to send you a lot of money every month in the future, it is definitely enough for you to spend for several lifetimes, I beg you to go back and return to the queen, just say that I have been poisoned and died, I will leave Yicheng from now on, and never come back, the queen will not blame you, you can still have a rich life." ”

Leng Qiuye almost used the last strength of her body, she begged Aunt Yan, she was unwilling to die like this, even if she used all her family assets, she had to find a different way to live.

"Slaves and maids are not scarce in money, and they do not want any rich life." Aunt Yan said disdainfully.

"And what exactly do you want?" Leng Qiuye looked at Aunt Yan with some despair, as if all the vitality was decided in the instant of this palace person in front of her.

"What the slave wants, you can't give it, only the queen can give it, so you have to die."

Hearing Aunt Yan's words, Leng Qiuye sat down on the ground, her body trembled violently, Aunt Yan squatted down, close to her ear, and whispered a few words. Then she got up slowly, and just wanted to leave, as if she remembered something again.

"Aunt Leng, tomorrow, you'd better do what the slave says, otherwise your children will bear the consequences for your mistakes, the slave is not scaring you, you'd better think clearly."

After saying that, Aunt Yan walked out of the house, Leng Qiuye sat on the ground in a daze, she looked at the back of Aunt Yan leaving in despair, she was unwilling, but helpless.

In the dark night, Aunt Yan was walking in the corridor, and Ling Zhu was already waiting at one end of the corridor

She.

"Uncle Guo, after the matter is settled tomorrow, the slave and maid will return to the harem, and the rest of the things will depend on you." Aunt Yan whispered.

"What about Ling Man?" Ling Zhu said faintly, Jiang Shuangxue's revenge, what about Ginkgo's?

"The queen mother said that the third lady is a sibling and can't move, but the mother also said that Ling Man failed to enter the harem as she wished, her dream was broken, and her arrogant nature would be worse than death, so let Leng Qiuye bear the consequences for her." Aunt Yan said cautiously.

A trace of resentment flashed in Ling Zhu's eyes, it seemed that Aunt Yan's words had not eliminated the hatred in his heart, and he said faintly: "You go back and tell the queen mother, please rest assured, before I leave Yicheng, I will definitely finish the rest." ”
