Chapter 42: Xia Huai's Death
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a pond and caused waves in the crowd.
"The prince of Chu actually wants to go to this Qinglou woman's appointment!"
"My God, is this really the prince of Chu who is the only one who is not close to women? It seems that the rumors are going to be rewritten again!"
Mengxian was a little stupid for a while. He's ...... Didn't he have a wife? What else did he want to provoke himself? It wasn't until Shao Siyan, who was standing on the side, hit her with his elbow that he came back to his senses.
"Oh, oh, then admiration awaits the arrival of the prince. Absentmindedly, he blessed his body slightly, and at the end he didn't forget to smile at everyone, and that smile learned the charm of the women on the Fengyue Field.
Until a few people retired and left, there were still people immersed in it and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Chu Xingnan pursed his lips, and his masked face could not see joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. In fact, she smiled bitterly in her heart, this little girl seems to have a grudge, and she has to learn from the Qinglou woman. In this case, she cooperated with her, and her boudoir could not let outsiders in.
On the other side, Xia Huai returned to the Warm Jade Pavilion early, and his face couldn't stop turning pale. Even the little attendant who accompanied her noticed that something was wrong, and asked her with some concern: "Sister Xia Huai, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with you? Didn't you also drink poisoned wine by mistake?"
Xia Huai was already supporting his body, and when he heard the word "poisonous wine", his face turned even paler.
"I, I'm fine...... It's just that I'm tired, and my head hurts a little...... "She leaned weakly on her little follower, making a delicate appearance.
A few little followers suddenly panicked, and hurriedly coaxed Xia Huai back to the room, made tea intimately, and told them to rest well before they dispersed.
Xia Huai lay on the couch, stunned, and the sky gradually darkened.
She really didn't think about killing anyone...... No matter how much he fought in the Nuan Yu Pavilion before, it was just to drive the other party out. No matter how miserable the other party is, he has always left a life, and as long as people live, there is always hope. But this time, she saw the wine jug that she had placed on the table with her own hand appear in the hand of the man sitting next door...... Even if you want to stop it, you don't have the guts. I could only watch as the man vomited blood and fell. She even felt deeply uneasy that she could see the man's dead face as soon as she closed her eyes.
If...... If it is found out that she did it, what will be the consequences? She struck a sudden start, if no one came tomorrow, it would mean that the Nuan Yu Pavilion was bound to fall. Where will she go then? She just hopes that her life will be more comfortable!
"Knock knock—" There was a soft knock on the door, and she looked towards the door with wide eyes, and a white figure dangled from her doorway. Xia Huai panicked for no reason, she was wronged and had a debtor, did she come to her so soon to ask for her life?
"I ...... I really just did what I was told...... Don't come to me...... I, I, I didn't do anything wrong......" she sat down on the couch trembling, her face as white as paper, and her whole body trembling like chaff.
"Sister Xia Huai......?" said the people outside.
Xia Huai tightly dragged the thin quilt on his head and didn't dare to move, for fear of being discovered by the "ghost" outside.
"Sister Xia Huai, are you okay?" The people outside suddenly raised their voices and began to bang on the door vigorously.
"Don't come in!" The tense nerves finally broke instantly because of the loud knock on the door, and he yelled at the door with all his strength, and collapsed on the couch in fright.
"Knock-knock——!"
Hearing her roar like this, the door slammed even harder. Finally, after a dozen efforts, the door opened. Led by the freckled woman and a few other small roots, they were rushing into the room with anxious faces. Seeing that there was nothing in the room, a few people couldn't even stop their bodies and fell straight to the ground.
"It hurts!" several people rubbed straight on the ground, more or less injured, and screamed in pain.
The woman with freckles on her face hurriedly walked over with an anxious and worried expression, "Sister Xia Huai, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
When Xia Huai saw her, he was even more frightened, "You...... Go away!Get out of my room!" yelled as he picked up something on the table and was about to chase people away.
"Sister Xia Huai, what's wrong with you? The little attendant asked puzzledly, "My sister thinks that you are tired from a hard day's work, so she specially boiled lotus seed soup for you! Just as I was about to send it with us, I heard you shouting in the house......
Xia Huai looked at the freckled girl with a hesitant expression, she was holding a porcelain bowl in her hand, and looked in the direction of the low couch with a smile on her face.
"Sister Xia Huai must be tired to talk nonsense, I boiled the lotus seed soup with my own hands, sister drink it while it's hot. The freckled girl smiled and handed over the porcelain bowl, but Xia Huai clearly saw a flash of bloodthirsty light in her eyes. This vicious woman coaxed her into poisoning others, and now she still wants to poison her, right?
Xia Huai swept away the porcelain bowl with a vicious palm, and shouted loudly: "You don't need to be pretending to be here! You know what you have done! Don't you just want to poison me? Do you think I will be fooled?"
The freckled girl had a hurt expression on her face, and said softly and weakly: "Sister Xia Huai, if you don't feel well, you don't want to eat, just put it there." Why do you have to do this to me? I, I, am I not the one who robbed my sister of the guest a few days ago...... Why do you want to frame me like this......" As she spoke, the freckled girl began to have tears rolling in her eyes, but she couldn't help herself from letting the tears fall, and I felt sorry for it.
"Get out! I don't want to see you again!" Xia Huai didn't get angry when she saw her like this, because she believed in her so much before, and she always ran west with her. Now even trusted sisters are harmed, don't you just want to take your place!
"You ......" The freckled girl gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, turned around and covered her face and rushed out of the door, "Xia Huai, you just insult me like this, and I will never see you again!" A few little followers looked at this and that, and they didn't know whether they should chase them out, so they could only look at Xia Huai timidly.
She rubbed her eyebrows, waved her hand and said, "You guys should go back and rest, let the sweeping girl clean up the mess on the ground tomorrow." ”
A few people didn't dare to gasp, lowered their heads and confessed their sins and left. In the shadow outside the door, a figure who went and returned was hiding in it, staring at Xia Huai's room tightly, and his eyes were full of ridicule.
Causing chaos in the Nuan Yu Pavilion is best to let it shut down. Seeing that there was a death at the banquet in the Nuan Yu Pavilion, the purpose of the lord's orders could be regarded as having been achieved. It's just a pity that I also saw that Mu Qing was very eye-catching, and I didn't get rid of her by the way, which is really a pity......
As for Xia Huai, since his task has been completed, this "tool" that is not very good will naturally be destroyed. Regardless of whether she drank the bowl of white fungus soup or not, as long as she was in the same room with it, the woman would die in her sleep without pain, and no one would find out that she had been poisoned.
The freckled girl sneered and disappeared into the darkness.
