Chapter 183: Heavy footsteps
Most importantly, she knows that in the near future.
Fu Lie will have a very special confidante.
In her previous life, she was so focused on Jiang Yuancheng's body that she didn't care about the existence of this person at all.
Thinking about it now, Wen Qingzhu found that her heart was a little blocked.
But before she could think about it, a sophisticated and calm chamberlain came out.
"County Lord, Miss Wen, Master Fu, General Lu Xiao, Young Master Lei, Your Majesty invites you to come in for dinner."
After everyone thanked him, Yuguan followed the chamberlain into the house.
In the small hall next to it, there are dishes unique to Bonkookji Temple.
"Sit down." Jiang Yue raised his hand casually.
Everyone sat down one by one, and Wen Qingzhu seemed to be a little far away from Wan Concubine.
But Concubine Wan spoke before she could sit down: "The county lord and Miss Wen will do it here." ”
Concubine Wan pointed to the position beside her.
Liang Pingshu was not in her heart, but she couldn't show it.
"Thank you, mother." Liang Pingshu took a step ahead of Wen Qingzhu and sat down beside Wan Concubine.
As a last resort, Wen Qingzhu could only sit down next to Liang Pingshu.
The whole round table is large and looks like it was prepared in advance.
The gaps between each person are also sufficient.
But Wen Qingzhu still felt that he was too close to Concubine Wan.
Behind everyone is the maid who serves the cloth.
After Jiang Yue started, everyone here also began to move.
Wen Qingzhu had no appetite at all.
She looked at the dish in front of her, but her attention was all on Wan Concubine.
Wan Concubine's eyes moved on the rotating vegetable plate in front of her, and the maid behind her was not giving her vegetables.
But Wen Qingzhu knew that Concubine Wan had been paying attention to herself.
"Qingzhu, why don't you eat it?" Liang Pingshu just took a bite, and suddenly found that there was nothing in the Wen Qingzhu bowl next to her.
Wen Qingzhu looked over and explained apologetically: "It was too thrilling just now, and I didn't have much appetite." ”
Liang Pingshu turned her head to look at the dishes on the table, then looked at the pearl jade soup and said to the maid of the cloth, "Get a bowl of soup for Miss Wen." ”
"Thank you, county lord." Wen Qingzhu glanced at the table, everyone was eating, and it was not good if he didn't eat it.
When the soup was put in front of him, Wen Qingzhu picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful, and when he just put it to his lips, his stomach suddenly turned over.
"Gross!" Wen Qingzhu quickly put down the spoon, covered his mouth and turned his back.
Liang Pingshu also hurriedly put down the chopsticks, gently patted her back and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"It's fine, it's a little uncomfortable." The faint fragrance of food lingers around Wen Qingzhu.
But she didn't know why, and she felt a feeling of nausea in her stomach.
It's not like poison.
But why is that?
Such a big movement of her attracted the attention of Concubine Wan, and she hurriedly asked Wen Qingzhu, "What's wrong with Miss Wen?" ”
Wen Qingzhu immediately replied: "It's okay, the courtiers will go down and rest first." ”
Without any more hesitation, Wen Qingzhu got up and apologized to the emperor.
Jiang Yue didn't say anything, only asked her subordinates to prepare hot water for her.
Liang Pingshu was not at ease, so she resigned and retreated with Wen Qingzhu.
When he arrived in the lounge next to him, Wen Qingzhu carefully felt the condition of his body.
After a long time, Wen Qingzhu slowly opened his eyes.
At the same time, a warm current appeared beneath her.
Wen Qingzhu's face was even more difficult to look at.
Liang Pingshu hurriedly asked her, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Wen Qingzhu frowned deeply, why did he come to Kwai Shui at this time?
Is it because you're so nervous today?
Liang Pingshu didn't believe it, and reached out to grab Wen Qingzhu's hand.
"Why are your hands so cold?"
Wen Qingzhu was just about to speak, when a person who looked like a palace maid walked outside.
It was the one who served behind Concubine Wan before.
She came in with a smile on her face and a bowl of ginger soup that was steaming hot.
After putting it on the table next to Wen Qingzhu, the palace maid explained: "The slave maid is Cai'er next to Concubine Wan Niangniang, which is specially prepared for you by Niangniang. ”
Wen Qingzhu's heart suddenly froze, and Concubine Wan actually saw it.
Liang Pingshu understood Wan Concubine's intentions even more, and she nodded quickly: "Thank you Wan Concubine Niangniang, you go down first, the county lord will accompany Qingzhu here." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid went down first, and if you have any orders, the slave and maid are at the door next door." After Cai'er finished speaking, she retreated.
After Cai'er left, Wen Qingzhu's expression was serious, and he pinched his palm tightly.
Liang Pingshu asked her, "Are you a first-time visitor to Kwai Shui?" ”
"Hmm." Wen Qingzhu did a lot of calculations, but he didn't count such a one.
If she hadn't guessed wrong, Concubine Wan might have known about her situation at the first glance of her.
"What about this bowl of ginger tea?" Liang Pingshu looked towards the table.
Wen Qingzhu squinted at the ginger tea next to him.
Judging from the white mist that drifted out, it should be no problem.
"Can't drink her stuff." Wen Qingzhu's voice was as deep as the sky in the dark night.
Liang Pingshu nodded and stood up.
She clasped her palm on the top of the ginger tea bowl, and after half an hour, the soup inside almost disappeared.
After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu hurriedly handed her a handkerchief: "Thank you county lord." ”
Liang Pingshu wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and her movements looked a little sluggish.
Wen Qingzhu sighed: "I'm sorry for your hard work." ”
Liang Pingshu shook her head: "It's okay, I'll just rest more." ”
The two of them sat on the soft collapse, closed their eyes and recuperated.
The surroundings became quieter and quieter, and Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes.
She just wanted to speak, but found that Liang Pingshu beside her was motionless, like a frozen ice sculpture.
"County Lord!" Wen Qingzhu hurriedly called out to her, and at the same time wanted to raise her hand.
To her horror, she found that she had almost no strength.
"No more struggles."
Suddenly, a high-pitched, thin voice came from outside the room.
Wen Qingzhu struggled to support his body and raised his head to look. Think
A shadow appeared in the doorway.
Immediately after, a father-in-law with a dusty man walked in.
Wen Qingzhu's pupils constricted suddenly, wasn't this the waiter who called them to eat just now?
"You... What the hell are you... Who is it? Wen Qingzhu bit the tip of his tongue and tried hard to stay awake.
This chamberlain walked out and came in, and looked at Liang Pingshu first.
After saying "tsk" twice, he turned his eyes to look at Wen Qingzhu, and the corners of his ruddy mouth hooked: "I didn't expect that there would be you, a fish that slipped through the net, you should drink ginger soup." ”
His gaze rested on the ginger soup bowl next to him.
Wen Qingzhu immediately regretted it: "You specially sent this ginger soup over?" ”
The waiter in front of him giggled weirdly: "Yo! This is really not the slave maid deliberately framing Miss Wen, this ginger soup was indeed cooked by Concubine Wan and sent over. ”
"What the hell is in this ginger soup?!" Wen Qingzhu finally couldn't support it anymore, and leaned on the table with a soft body.
The waiter in front of him glanced over: "This ginger soup was originally going to have something, but Wan Concubine was not at ease, Pai Cai'er stared, this bowl of ginger soup is the only thing that has not been medicated." ”
Wen Qingzhu didn't understand: "Why ......"
"Because not only the food is drugged, but the air is drugged!" The chamberlain thought that Wen Qingzhu was talking about herself, why was she still poisoned, and couldn't help but explain.
Wen Qingzhu wanted to move her wrist, but she didn't have any strength at all.
No way!
She couldn't sit still, Wen Qingzhu suddenly bit the tip of her tongue again.
Under the stimulation of pain, she had a little strength.
Wen Qingzhu used all his strength to let himself fall forward.
With a few knocks, Wen Qingzhu rolled around on the ground.
Luckily, her fingertips touched her wrists.
With the strength of the fall, the poison at the wrist spilled out.
Wen Qingzhu simply closed his eyes and rested.
The chamberlain standing in front of her was startled and retreated.
After seeing Wen Qingzhu motionless, he stared at Wen Qingzhu for a long time.
"Hey!"
The chamberlain felt a little strange and muttered to himself, "No, she hasn't eaten anything, so she shouldn't faint." ”
After a moment's hesitation, the chamberlain suddenly smelled a strange smell in the air.
Soon, the chamberlain noticed that his limbs were numb.
"How......" The chamberlain staggered back again.
This time, he was horrified to find that his whole body could not move.
With a thud, the chamberlain fell to the ground.
Wen Qingzhu, who was lying on the ground, slowly regained his strength.
However, she found that her pulse was a little strange, and the blessing of the two drugs actually filled her with energy.
What puzzled her the most was that Wen Qingzhu couldn't restrain herself from wanting to beat people.
Under the frightened eyes of the waiter, Wen Qingzhu slowly stood up.
When Wen Qingzhu stood up completely, the chamberlain's lips trembled: "No, don't ......."
It's a pity that before he finished speaking, the person had already fainted.
Wen Qingzhu restrained the restlessness in his heart.
She turned to look at Liang Pingshu, probed her pulse, and found that she was dispelling the drug in her exercises.
It looks like it's slow, though.
Thinking of his own drug, and the drug here, Wen Qingzhu let Liang Pingshu smell the drug in his wrist.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Liang Pingshu slowly opened her eyes.
"Qingzhu! Problematic! When Liang Pingshu spoke, she immediately stood up.
Wen Qingzhu turned to the side and pointed to the waiter who fell to the ground: "This is a spy, but now he is not a threat, he has been drugged by me." ”
"Your Majesty!" After listening to her, Liang Pingshu suddenly thought of a group of people next door.
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly grabbed her: "County lord, wait!" We have to be careful! If His Majesty really had an accident, it might have happened a long time ago. ”
Although he said that, Wen Qingzhu was not too worried.
First, Fu Lie and General Lu are over there, and secondly, this chamberlain is talking so much nonsense with himself, and the person who thinks he should have come has not come yet.
"You're right!" Liang Pingshu held her heart and calmed down.
The two of them now searched the fallen chamberlain.
A flare was found.
"This is ......" Liang Pingshu looked at the signal flare and fell into deep thought.
Wen Qingzhu looked at it intently and felt that this signal flare was actually a little familiar.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
Liang Pingshu immediately pulled Wen Qingzhu and hid at the door.
She drew the dagger strapped to her lap and leaned against the wall, staring at the door.
Wen Qingzhu stood behind Liang Pingshu and listened carefully to the footsteps outside the door.
It's kind of weird.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The footsteps are spaced out at long intervals, and each step sounds heavy.
After waiting for so long, Wen Qingzhu found that no one outside appeared.
But at a fixed time, the sound still appeared.
Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange, if it was the receiver of this chamberlain, it shouldn't be so slow.
Thinking of the people next door, Wen Qingzhu's appearance suddenly appeared in front of him.
She remembers the results of the last jousting very well.
In the entire capital, Fu Lie has few opponents.
In this way, his internal strength must be much higher than that of ordinary people.
Even Liang Pingshu can use internal force to force out the drug, of course Fu Lie can!
Wen Qingzhu was about to walk out, but Liang Pingshu hurriedly grabbed her: "What are you going to do!" ”
"It's Brother Fu!" Wen Qingzhu was a little anxious.
She knew that Fu Lie's martial arts skills were high, but in such a short period of time, it was not easy for him to force out the drug.
Not long ago, after Liang Pingshu's luck, he didn't have any strength in his body.
Of course Fu Lie is the same!
"No! If it was Fu Lie, how could he not speak! Liang Pingshu felt that Wen Qingzhu was impulsive.
But Wen Qingzhu became more and more anxious, because the interval between the footsteps she heard outside was getting longer and longer.
Brother Fu wants to make sure of her safety!
