Chapter 578: Ready to Move
If you look at it from a distance, Si Huazhen and Qianhui can be regarded as a good match, the two seem to be snuggling up to each other, which makes the palace people who pass by inadvertently look sideways, but if you get closer to the two, you will find that under the seemingly intimate appearance, Si Huazhen has always maintained a subtle distance from Qianhui.
"Brother Zhen, you're here." Si Yuanqiong approached Si Huazhen, and said to Si Huazhen in a warm tone: "It's rare to see you and your wife appear together, counting, this king hasn't seen Princess Jingping for a long time." ”
Si Yuanqiong didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the syllables of the four words "Princess Jingping" were bitten very hard, as if she was deliberately trying to stab Si Huazhen.
Si Huazhen's indifferent eyes slid past Si Yuanqiong, and replied nonchalantly, "Really? Didn't you see it today? On weekdays, Qianhui doesn't like to swagger, but wants to stay in the backyard, and hopes that King Huai'an can understand one or two. ”
When Si Yuanqiong heard this, she sneered, and her thin lips hooked slightly: "In this way, this king is naturally able to understand Princess Jingping's difficulties, and I hope that Brother Zhen and Princess Jingping can have more fun tonight." ”
"That's nature." After Si Huazhen finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked forward, glanced at Si Yuanqiong vaguely a thousand times, and after receiving the eyes from Si Yuanqiong, he lowered his head again, as if nothing had happened.
"How is the preparation of the second prince?" Si Yuanqiong's voice was extremely low, coupled with the occasional whistling wind, no matter how deep the internal strength was, no matter how deep the internal strength was, he couldn't hear what he was talking about.
"Back to the prince, the second prince has not yet got in touch with our people, but ......" Liu Xiang paused, and when he saw that Si Yuanqiong's face was not very good-looking, he changed his words and said: "The second prince is an ambitious person, and now that Du Zhi has entered the palace, the only person he can rely on is us, and then we only need to fan the flames at the banquet to force the second prince to take that step." ”
Si Yuanqiong let out an inexplicable "um", and under the compliments and embrace of everyone, Si Yuanqiong also walked towards the main hall of the banquet.
At that time, Du Zhi was already dressed properly, and she couldn't find the slightest mistake, but the panic that occasionally flashed in her eyes still revealed Du Zhi's not very calm mood at the moment.
"Shadow, I...... Somehow, I always felt a little bottomless in my heart, as if ......" Du Zhi swallowed, "There is some kind of flood beast hidden on that banquet, as long as I step into it, it will be swallowed in an instant." ”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you later." Bai Weiying knew that in tonight's palace banquet, there must be a lot of people who were ready to move, whether it was Bai Muyan, Si Helin, or Si Yuanqiong and Qianhui, these four people were the biggest variables tonight.
Although Du Zhi received several promises from Bai Weiying, but when the matter came, Du Zhi still couldn't help but become pessimistic, and the people in the main hall gradually filled up, and the emperor and Du Zhi appeared together, and walked onto the high platform in a shout of congratulations.
Bai Weiying followed behind the two, taking advantage of the moment when everyone bowed their heads and knelt, they glanced quickly in the direction of Si Huazhen, Si Huazhen seemed to feel something, and raised his head slightly, but Bai Weiying had already retracted his gaze and turned into a little palace maid who kept to herself, waiting by Du Zhi's side.
Du Zhi sat on the high platform, looked around the people in the hall, after the emperor called "up", Du Zhi straightened her back and calmly accepted the light or dark look, her posture was dignified, and she never showed any timidity, but her hands hidden under the sleeve robe were constantly breaking out in cold sweat, and her hands and feet were even colder.
Du Taishi didn't seem to expect that his favorite daughter on weekdays would have such a majestic and graceful side, and then look at the emperor, although his attitude towards Du Zhi is not very enthusiastic, but between the emperor and the queen, they are not together because of the so-called affection, and the position of the queen has always been determined after many battles of forces and the emperor's choices.
If Du Zhi can sit firmly in the position of queen, then the Du family ...... It's also possible to follow up with a little light.
Du Taishi took a sip of wine, countless thoughts flashed in her mind, Du Zhi naturally noticed Du Taishi's gaze, but she didn't intend to make any response, she looked at the delicate dish in front of her, although she wanted to move the chopsticks, but she was worried that there were something bad mixed in the dish or the wine.
Bai Weiying used chopsticks to clip a piece of bamboo shoot for Du Zhi in a timely manner, and said respectfully: "Niangniang, you taste this bamboo shoot, I think it is refreshing and delicious." ”
Bai Weiying is proficient in pharmacology, although she can't taste these dishes with her own mouth, but just by smelling them, she can see what kind of doors are hidden in these dishes.
Among the ten dishes in front of Du Zhi now, five have been given different doses and types of drugs, and one has even been given the so-called coquettish drugs, which is even more vicious.
The remaining four dishes are mostly cold things, women should not eat too much, Bai Weiying quietly sandwiched the bamboo shoots to Du Zhi, which can be regarded as a hint, this bamboo shoot is a non-toxic thing that has been checked by her nose and eyes, and it can be eaten with confidence, and in the remaining dishes, if Bai Weiying does not reach out to clip, it means that there is a cat greasy.
Bai Weiying gently put down the chopsticks, and raised her hand to pour a glass of fruit wine for Du Zhi, her voice was soft, "Niangniang is healthy, this fruit wine is rare and mellow, and it is okay to drink some." ”
Du Zhi nodded, she was already convinced of Bai Weiying, what Bai Weiying sandwiched for her, she only ate anything, this banquet was not very pleasant, everyone's face seemed to be wearing a mask, far away, but it was not very clear.
There are many people who are secretly staring at Du Zhi's every move, and when they see that she has avoided those greasy dishes, they can't help but feel a little regretful, especially Bai Muyan, her position is considered to be at the front, since she saw Bai Weiying's actions of pouring vegetables and wine for Du Zhi, she secretly sneered in her heart, she really underestimated this little palace maid, and she was able to accurately identify this problematic dish.
But......
Bai Muyan used the action of drinking to hide a strange arc on his lips, these dishes are just a foreshadowing, the real danger is still to come.
Moreover, the more Du Zhi believed in Bai Weiying, the more beneficial it would be to their plans.
After three rounds of drinking, the emperor's perennial wine-colored hollowed out body was a little crumbling, Si Yuanqiong saw this, but stood up and proposed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, tonight is the fifteenth, the moonlight is thick, why don't you go to enjoy the moon with the monarchs and ministers, so it can be regarded as an elegant matter." ”
When Si Huazhen heard Si Yuanqiong's proposal to admire the moon, his sword eyebrows twisted slightly, and a sharp color flashed in his eyes.
