Chapter 4: The Grave Sin of Killing the Head
Qi Mingshu rode a horse and approached slowly, with a graceful posture, it was an extremely beautiful face, peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, the eyes like a deep pool were bottomless, there was no trace of light, and under the straight nose were thin lips like flower petals.
Only she knows best what a filthy soul lies beneath this hypocritical face.
"Sister Yunxi, it's a coincidence, you're here too." Qi Mingshu's eyes flashed, and his voice was warm, as if a breeze was blowing through his heart Rong Yunxi, who was wearing Kodan's nails, knocked on the wooden slab on the carriage carelessly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded at him slightly, but he didn't mean to answer at all.
"Last month, I found a gray fox fur from Southern Xinjiang, as the saying goes, treasures match beauties, I wonder if Sister Yunxi can give this palace a chance to offer treasures?" He said slowly, and what sounded very frivolous sounded from his mouth was not felt in the slightest dirt.
Next to her, Rong Yuejin's face was a little ugly, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't get that fur after begging for half a month...... Now it's cheaper for this slut! Rong Yunxi glanced at Rong Yuejin, the deeper the smile on the corner of her lips, and said meaningfully: "Yun Xi thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness, and he should have accepted it, but as a doctor, he is always a little more unbearable than others, although the fox fur is beautiful, I don't know how much blood it has stained, and I ask for forgiveness Yun Xi for not daring to become the beauty of a gentleman of His Royal Highness the Prince." Qi Mingshu didn't expect her to refuse so simply, a trace of yin owl flashed in her eyes, but she hid it very well, and there was some regret in her tone: "It's the palace that is abrupt." After seeing enough of the show, Rong Yunxi raised her eyes lazily, yawned lightly, and said with a smile: "Two of you, please, Yunxi will go first." When Rong Yunxi's carriage was gone, only the arrogant back remained, Rong Yuejin pursed her red lips unhappily and complained: "Your Highness, that fur is what Jin'er has always wanted......
A trace of impatience crossed Qi Mingshu's face, but it was fleeting, with a faint smile on his face, and comforted: "Jin'er is good, when I marry Rong Yunxi and get the power of her family, Jin'er will be the only queen of this palace." ”
He then said: "It's not too early, I'm afraid that the clues will be revealed, this palace will take the first step, and you will follow." ”
Hearing this, Rong Yuejin's face softened for a while, but in an instant, her heart was filled with viciousness, and suddenly, she waved her hand and whispered a few words in Ying'er's ear.
Sakura's face changed suddenly, "This, Miss, this is a big crime to kill your head!" ”
"What's the panic, just do it, Miss Ben will keep you fine." As she spoke, the corners of Rong Yuejin's mouth hooked up with a weird smile. At the end of a carriage, you can vaguely see a corner of the gorgeous dress from behind the slightly lifted curtain. "Today's banquet, it seems, is going to be interesting." At the welcome banquet, the people had not yet arrived, and the emperor and queen, including the envoys of Mobei, had not yet taken place, so she sat down with her grandfather. Rong Yunxi took a seat, next to a cousin of the Kou family, holding a fair-skinned Persian cat in her arms.
"Yunxi, why did you come so early today?" Kou Yuexin smiled and teased her.
Rong Yunxi stuck out her tongue and laughed shyly: "Cousin, don't make fun of me." ”
Suddenly, Kou Yuexin leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Yunxi, do you know the real purpose of holding this banquet today?" ”
Rong Yunxi pretended to be puzzled, shook her head, and followed her example, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, what's wrong?" ”
"This banquet is ostensibly a welcome banquet, but in fact, it is to choose a suitable official woman to go to Mobei to make peace."
Rong Yunxi raised her eyebrows and nodded in surprise.
At this time, Rong Yuejin was still staring at her intentionally or unintentionally, Rong Yunxi's heart sank, and her red lips pursed slightly, could it be that she did something in the food?
Thinking about it, she reached out to the plate of food, and quietly paid attention to Rong Yuejin's reaction, when her hand stayed on the osmanthus cake, suddenly, Rong Yuejin's eyes were a little weird.
Rong Yunxi's hand paused, and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, and sure enough, Rong Yuejin immediately became nervous, and her eyes were even more dead.
She hooked her lips, showed a cold smile, gently rolled up her sleeves, and then gently handed the pastry to Maoqiu, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and her words were soft, "Maoqiu, do you want to eat some pastries?" This osmanthus cake is delicious, you must not have eaten it. ”
"Come, hairball, look, Sister Yunxi feeds you pastries!" Kou Yuexin smiled and touched the furry head of the fur ball.
The hairball opened his eyes, rolled his blue eyes, spit out his little pink tongue, chewed and swallowed the osmanthus cake in his hand slowly, and after taking a bite, he turned his head and ignored the pastry.
Suddenly, the hairball that was jumping around meowed, and gradually fell silent, the little head tilted, the eyes widened in pain, and fell straight on the table.
Rong Yunxi was shocked, stood in place in a daze, and hurriedly took Kou Yuexin's hand and took a step back, and said loudly: "There is something wrong with this pastry!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the entire banquet became agitated, looking at the food in front of them in horror.
"Come on, protect the prince!" One of the guards shouted loudly, and soon, rows of guards surrounded the place, and the atmosphere was solemn and dull, and it hung over everyone's heart, and the oppressors did not dare to breathe loudly.
Kou Yuexin was already frightened, and shouted loudly, "My hairball!" ”
Kou Kun walked to the place where the hairball fell to the ground with a serious expression, checked it, frowned tightly, and suddenly, his eyes widened.
"There's poison in this pastry! Fortunately, the cat did not eat much, and now it is only unconscious. ”
As soon as the words came out, the whole banquet was filled with an atmosphere of panic and unease.
Rong Yunxi pretended to be frightened, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, his face turned pale, bean-sized tears rolled out of his eyes, and his nasal voice was thick: "Grandpa, the hairball was poisoned because he ate the osmanthus cake on Yunxi's plate, so the person who poisoned it must have come to Yunxi, what did Yunxi do wrong, why would someone want to put Yunxi to death!" ”
Kou Kun's cloudy eyes flashed a trace of gloom, and he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and walked out of his seat in a rage, and bowed respectfully.
"The old minister has been in the officialdom for many years, dedicated to the country, and he thinks that he has not offended anyone, please order, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can thoroughly investigate this matter and bring the murderer to justice, so that the old minister and Yunxi can rest assured!"
"I hope that the prince will thoroughly investigate this matter, and give Yunxi and everyone present peace of mind!" Kou Yuanqi said sharply, saluting with a solemn expression.
Qi Mingshu stood up, a gloom crossed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Ling, go check immediately!" ”
During the banquet, Rong Yuejin chuckled in her heart, a slight sweat appeared in her palms, and she looked flustered.
Huo Yurou next to her seemed to notice that something was wrong with her, her eyes darkened, and she instantly understood it, she gently patted her shoulder and gave her a look.
Rong Yuejin looked at her, nodded, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed her emotions.
