Chapter 57: ...... Conspiracy - a wave of first and second twists
Wang Xi complained: "Not yet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Today's canteen is really, a quarter of an hour ago I sent someone to the canteen to tell them to cook, and it hasn't been delivered yet, how to do it. ”
Wang Jin said: "I heard that Wenyuan Pavilion also needs a lot of meals, it seems that Concubine Lu arranged a good meal for the people in Wenyuan Pavilion today. ”
Wang Xi heard this and said with a smile: "So that's the case." But it's useless what she does now, the so-called people go to high places, water flows to low places, the palace maids and eunuchs under His Royal Highness and Concubine Lu, except for the closest ones, the others will come to join us, His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun. Everyone agreed.
At this time, Wang Gong suddenly said, "What kind of smell is this?" ”
"What's the smell?" Wang Jin asked suspiciously.
Wang Gong continued: "I smell something that I have never smelled before in His Highness's dormitory; As I've said before, my nose is very smart. ”
Wang Jin suddenly became nervous and asked, "Why can't I smell anything special?" If you smell it again, where does the smell come from? ”
Wang Gong hurriedly sniffed the smell everywhere, everyone did not dare to move, stayed where they were, and waited, and saw Wang Gong find the outside of the dormitory from the dormitory, and then found it back in the dormitory, and after a while, pointed to an incense burner outside the door and said: "This is it, the smell that I have never smelled is coming from here!" ”
Wang Bu immediately instructed the little eunuch: "Move that incense burner out." ”
When the incense burner was moved out, Wang Jin immediately found the only eunuch in the Dongnuan Pavilion who knew anything about spices, and asked him to tell if there was a problem with spices.
The eunuch sniffed it, took it out again and looked at it carefully for a while, and said to Yun Xi: "His Royal Highness, it's really strange, it's still the right spice in the morning." There is a kind of incense in this incense burner that has never been used in the East Warm Pavilion; Judging from the taste and the appearance of the ashes, it is definitely against the spices commonly used by His Royal Highness, whether it is unfavorable to His Highness, and what are the disadvantages still need to be seen by Gonggong Hu of the Imperial Prison. ”
Wang Jin said: "You first match the spices commonly used by His Royal Highness, and then keep the ashes of the spices, I will let you," he said, turned his eyes around, and said to Wang Gong: "You go to the imperial prison to call Gonggong Hu." Wang Gong promised.
Wang Jin mainly felt that Gonggong Hu was also a high-grade eunuch in the palace, one of the eunuchs in charge of the twenty-four inner yamen, not an ordinary little chamberlain, so he asked Wang Gong, who also had a grade, to invite him and look respectful.
Eunuch Liu, who knew spices, hurriedly went to redistribute spices, and the others hurried out of Yunxi's dormitory and came to another room, Wang Jin said: "Just in case, Your Highness will sleep here tonight, and I will immediately ask the people below to burn the stove." ”
Yun Xi has always been troublesome about these things, so he pushed them to Wang Jin and said, "Look at the arrangement." ”
Wang Xi saw that it was okay at this time, and said: "This shouldn't be Concubine Lu's strategy, if that's the case, then it's too simple." ”
Wang Jin said: "How can it be as simple as you say. Didn't Gonggong Liu say that it was still normal spices in the morning, and it seemed that someone had put them in it during the time His Highness came back; His Royal Highness didn't like the smell of spices very much, so he put the incense burner at the door to drive away the bad smell, but he didn't expect that this would give others an opportunity to take advantage of. ”
Wang Xi also said: "Yes, during the time His Highness came back, Dongnuan Pavilion went in and out, and some eunuchs of miscellaneous envoys could also enter and exit the palace, and the incense burner was placed at the door, which was really unguardable." ”
Wang Jin said: "In the future, let's put the incense burner in the dormitory, and then install a door in the dormitory to separate the smell of spices." ”
They talked to each other.
At this time, the dining hall brought the food, and the person in charge of delivering the food in the dining room made a big compensation: "It's really that the dining room is too busy today, and Wenyuan Pavilion has already said it, so I really can't ,......push it back."
Wang Jin comforted him for a while, and rewarded them with some money and let them go.
Yun Xi was already very hungry at this time, and planned to eat immediately.
Wang Jin and Wang Xi accompanied him to dinner as usual. Before eating, Wang Xi also complained again: "I only brought the food now." ”
Wang Jin said: "Let's eat, the fragrant rice can't stop your mouth." ”
Just as they were about to eat, they suddenly heard a deep voice say: "I am Li Ya, the chef of the Wenhua Palace, I have something important to report to His Highness, you get out of the way." ”
Yun Xi heard the sound outside very clearly, and couldn't help but stop the chopsticks. After all, Li Ya's voice was really too loud, and he must have used all his strength to shout.
Although Yun Xi thought it was very strange, what did a cook have to say to himself? But he still told the little eunuch outside the house to let him in.
At this moment, they heard hurried footsteps again, and the door was opened with a "bang", and they saw Wang Bu walk in, panting loudly. When he saw the food on the table, he immediately said, "Your Highness, don't eat it, the food is poisonous!" ”
Yun Xi was startled and threw the chopsticks on the table; Wang Xi said: "What the hell is going on! ”
Wang Buzheng was panting, and saw Li Ya striding in, and before he had time to salute, he said, "Your Highness, don't eat!" ”
Yun Xi asked Wang Bu to rest first, and said to Li Ya, "What the hell is going on?" Why are meals poisonous? Who are you, who are you, and why are you here to remind me? ”
Li Ya knelt down, bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness, the villain was installed in the Wenhua Hall by the first crown princess back then, and over the years, he was lucky not to be discovered, and he has been working in the Wenhua Hall until today. A few days ago, I felt that there was something wrong with Li Zhibin, the chef of Wenhua Palace; He is Concubine Lu's person, and if something is wrong with him, I think Concubine Lu wants to do something with His Royal Highness's meal. ”
"Today, Concubine Lu arranged food for the palace maids and eunuchs of Wenyuan Pavilion abnormally, and then a person from Concubine Lu's palace who didn't seem to be her cronies came to the dining room and said a few words to Chef Li. But it happened that I knew that person was Concubine Lu's secret confidant, so I paid special attention to Li Zhibin's movements. Then I noticed that he had secretly put something in the jar of salt from the palm of his hand. There were very few of them, and it was normal to put your hand on the spice, and if I hadn't been staring at him so closely, I wouldn't have noticed his movements. ”
Then I saw him scooping salt out of that salt shaker and putting it in the dish while he was stir-frying the dish that was about to be brought to His Highness. I knew he had poisoned His Highness. ”
"I want to be responsible for delivering the food, so that I can take the opportunity to remind His Highness, but the dining room is indeed busy, and Li Zhibin does not allow me to deliver it; The villain thought of another way to come to the East Warm Pavilion without attracting attention, but it was unsuccessful. ”
"In the end, I could only say that I was in a hurry, so I was able to come out and run to the Dongnuan Pavilion to remind His Highness."
Before Yun Xi could react, Wang Xi was shocked: "So that's the case, Concubine Lu is really vicious!" ”
Yun Xi and Wang Jin turned around. At this time, Wang Xi was actually helping Wang Bu Shunqi, and he couldn't hear what Li Ya said here, so why did he scream?
Wang Jin asked, "Wang Xi, what is your name?" ”
Wang Xi turned around and said, "Wang Bu just said that Concubine Lu bought poison from Yunnan Province to harm His Highness!" ”
Yun Xi was surprised, where did Wang Bu get this news? He first asked Li Ya to get up, and then said to Wang Bu: "How did you know that Concubine Lu was going to poison me?" How did she know that she had bought poison from Yunnan Province? ”
Wang Bu stood up and said, "Your Highness, it's like this, it was Boss Tang from Qilu Noodle Restaurant who reminded me." ”
