Chapter 167: Boundless and Heartless
In the next few days, Liu Heng really didn't come to Guangyang Palace, Yifang stayed in the palace for a few days, thinking about the task handed over by Empress Dowager Lu, and he barely even went out of the courtyard.
She did the same on this day, but after a few hours, she felt a little hungry, and called the bell several times, but no one came. Yifang called a few more times to leave, and someone answered, and it wasn't until a moment later that a palace maid hurriedly ran in.
"Why are you here? What about Tengling and Zili? Yifang thought that they hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, so there shouldn't be anything, so he didn't worry, just asked casually.
"What does the beauty command? The slave and maid will do so. ”
Yifang didn't care much about it originally, but when she heard that this little palace maid didn't mention Tengling and Zili at all, she felt a little strange in her heart, and asked again: "Where are Tengling and Zili?" ”
"This ...... Beauty, they, they were bullied by the people in the Jade Lady's Palace, they were all injured, and now they are afraid that they are rubbing medicine in the house! The little palace maid bit her lip as she spoke, probably because Tengling and Zili had told her not to say it.
"Are they all hurt? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Yifang stood up anxiously, "Come with me to see them." ”
"Beauty, here we come." Just as Yifang was about to go out, Teng Ling hurriedly walked in, and Zili also followed.
"I heard you're hurt? What do you think? Is it serious? Yifang asked anxiously.
Teng Ling knew that the little palace maid had leaked her mouth, so she glared at her dissatisfiedly.
"You don't have to blame her, I have to let her tell me, why has Madame Jade been bullying you all these days?"
Teng Ling waved his hand, and the little palace maid ran out with relief, leaving only the three of them in the house.
"It's the palace people in Madame Yu's palace, and it's Madame Jade who is a little more domineering, which makes the palace people in her palace also bully. We know that beauties don't want to cause trouble, so we usually let them do more, but recently it has become a little worse. Teng Ling seemed to want to make the big thing small, so he said lightly.
Yifang found the scar on her arm with sharp eyes: "Roll up the sleeves and I'll take a look." ”
"No, it's okay, beauty doesn't have to worry." Teng Ling hurriedly hid his hand behind him.
The more she was like this, the more Yifang felt that the problem was serious, so she turned to Zili and said, "Then I'll take a look at yours." ”
Who knew that Zili also hid his hand behind him, and Yifang suddenly turned cold: "Show me!" ”
Tengling and Zili glanced at each other, and then slowly withdrew their hands. Yi Fang quickly grabbed their arms, and pulled up the sleeves, revealing the hideous scars on their arms, bruised and purple. To be hurt like this, it must be more than just a verbal dispute.
"Why didn't you tell me when you were hurt like this?" Yifang was anxious and angry, and his eyes were a little moist.
"Beauty, these are skin injuries, not in the way, we know that the beauty doesn't want to conflict with them anymore, and we usually make it difficult for them, so we let them go more." Tengling's face was light and light, which made Yifang even more uncomfortable.
"I mean let you let them go more, but that doesn't mean you can't fight back and scold them back." Yifang felt really uncomfortable in his heart, "It's my fault this time that made you suffer such pain." ”
"Yifang, we are not in the way, but your heart is sick, if you have been staying quietly in Guangyang Palace, living smoothly in the way you want, and can let you untie the knot, then it will be worth it no matter what kind of suffering we suffer." Zili didn't care if he was injured, but his eyes were full of concern for Yifang.
Yifang couldn't help shedding a few tears, she took Tengling and Zili's hands: "I can't go on like this, I won't let you suffer such humiliation again." ”
"Beauty doesn't have to be reluctant, it's a big deal that we don't have to go out less in the future, and it's not every time we can meet those people in the same floating hall." Teng Ling held Yi Fang's hand instead, and there were some tears in his eyes.
"I thought that as long as we took a few more steps back and let Madame Yu understand that I had no intention of competing with him for the king, she would stop bothering us, but now it seems that this method will not work." There was a flash of ruthlessness in Yifang's eyes, "Since this is the case, then let's cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future." ”
Teng Ling and Zi Li both felt the unusual momentum on Yifang's body, which made them both a little panicked. Zili opened his mouth: "Yifang, what do you want to do?" ”
"Tengling, you go and inquire about the current situation of the Tongfu Temple, the more carefully the better, to be accurate to every detail." Yi Fang roughly wiped the tears from his face, and then turned to Zili and ordered, "Zili, the last time you were imprisoned in the Tongfu Palace, you can be regarded as staying by Madam Yu's side for a while, do you know some of her preferences?" ”
Zili thought about it seriously: "I have been locked in the secret room all the time, and I haven't stayed in the Tongfu Hall for long. But I don't know anything else, but I found out that Madame Jade is very fond of oleander. ”
"Oleander?" Yifang asked puzzledly, "Why did you notice this, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Just because this oleander is poisonous." Zili replied truthfully, "Ordinary people who love flowers will hardly like this flower, although oleander has its own unique beauty, but if it is placed in the house, it may be poisoned if you are not careful." ”
Yifang nodded, thought carefully for a while, and continued to ask, "Then what are the symptoms of this oleander poisoning?" Is it life-threatening? ”
"Oleander is extremely toxic, it is very likely to be fatal after poisoning, if it is slightly poisoned, there will be some nausea and vomiting, and not only such symptoms, if not treated in time, a very slight poison will also lead to death." Although Zili didn't know why Yifang asked this, she must be useful, so she told everything she knew.
"That's very good, Zili, you go and get some oleanders quietly." Yi Fang already had an idea in his heart, "Tengling, when you go to inquire about the recent movements of Madam Yu, you should pay attention to whether Tongfu Hall has recently asked Huafang to send oleander over." ”
"No."
The two of them received their respective tasks and immediately went down to do their errands. Yifang sat down by the window again, and hatred suddenly arose in her long-dormant heart. She had obviously taken many steps back, but Madam Yu was still pressing forward step by step, so don't blame her for being polite.
Even though Teng Ling and Zili didn't understand what Yifang was going to do, they knew that she asked them to inquire about this, and it must have been to deal with Madam Yu. Since this is the case, it means that the day of revenge is just around the corner, and it is natural to complete this task. Both of them are full of energy, and occasionally when they meet people in the Tongfu Temple, they also hold their heads high, and they hide away when they don't see anyone anymore.
After several days of inquiry, he finally waited until the flower room sent a new oleander to the Tongfu Palace, and Zili also brought the oleander he got privately back to the Guangyang Hall early. Yifang wants to have everything ready, so he plans to do it today.
She took the oleander rhizome handed to her by Zili, and asked confirmatively: "Zili, are you sure that such a quantity of oleander can make people slightly poisoned?" ”
"Yes, this amount of poison will only make people nauseous, vomit, and drowsy, if it is treated immediately, it will recover quickly, but if it continues to drag, it may also be life-threatening." Zi Centrifugal thought that Yi Fang might be poisoning Madam Yu. It is precisely because there are oleander flowers in the same floating hall of Lady Jade that no one will suspect them.
But Zili was wrong, Yifang took the oleander and looked at it for a while, and actually swallowed it in one bite.
"Beauty, what are you doing here?" Teng Ling was stunned all of a sudden, and hurriedly ran out of the door, "Beauty, don't do stupid things, the slave will go to the doctor." ”
"Wait, come back!" Yifang hurriedly stopped her, "Don't worry, I'm not looking for death." ”
Yi Fang pressed his chest, and the feeling of oleander just swallowing was soothed, and then he explained to them: "Madame Yu has been tossing us, but no matter what, she can't kill me." She and the king both knew in their hearts that as long as I was alive, Empress Dowager Lu would not have any suspicions about them, but if I died, there would definitely be a storm in Chang'an. With Empress Dowager Lu's suspicious nature, she will definitely feel that Daiguo is disloyal, and the king will never allow such a situation to happen, and Madame Yu's father is also a meticulous work that Empress Dowager Lu put on Daiguo's court, and she will not want to see such a thing happen. ”
"So what do you mean...... Help? Zili boldly guessed.
Yifang smiled and shook his head: "You can say that, but it doesn't count. Since the king doesn't want me to die, then he will definitely punish the person who attacks me, even if this person is the much-loved Jade Lady. ”
"I understand, does the beauty want to poison herself, and then blame Madame Yu, so that she can be punished severely by the king's hand?" Teng Ling suddenly realized.
"Yes, that's it." Yi Fang finally laughed, and a painful expression immediately appeared on his face, it seemed that the oleander poison had begun to attack.
"Beauty, the slave maid will go and ask the doctor to come over immediately."
"Wait, don't rush to the doctor just yet." Yi Fang stopped her again, then turned to Zili and asked, "How long will this poison be life-threatening?" ”
"About three days."
"Okay, then you don't have to go to the doctor today, wait until tomorrow evening." Yi Fang thought for a while, and then ordered, "You two go and spread the news that I am nauseous, vomiting, and unconscious, and it must reach the ears of the king, but don't be too deliberate." ”
"No." The two of them answered, and they were busy going about their own things.
Although they were worried about Yifang's desperate approach, but the oleander had already swallowed it, so they couldn't let such pain be in vain, and they worked together to make Madame Yu and the group of people around her pay the price.
This matter was not completely unexpected by them, they originally decided to ask the doctor to come over the next evening to take a look, but the next morning, Liu Heng actually came to Guangyang Palace.
