Chapter 41: Poisoned Wine

On this day, Xu Zhonghang found Qiu Luoxue's personal maid Yanliu and said: "The wedding date of the Snow Maiden and the emperor is approaching, and any mistake at this time will disrupt the prince's plans." You have to take good care of her these days, and you can't let her out of your sight for a moment, understand? ”

Yanliu knew that Xu Zhonghang was a celebrity next to the prince, and his words were the words of the prince, so she replied very obediently: "Yanliu understands."

She not only listened to Xu Zhonghang's words, but also followed Qiu Luoxue all the time as he said, and it was blatant. Qiu Luoxue saw her intentions, but didn't say anything.

In the afternoon, Qiu Luoxue arrived at Xia Zimo's bedroom, and the two of them didn't even want to be separated for a moment. After all, it was a private life, and he didn't want to be disturbed, so Xia Zimo ordered: "Retreat."

Xia Zimo's people retreated obediently after hearing this, and only Yanliu was still on the main hall alone, which looked very abrupt.

Xia Zimo looked at her and asked with a displeased face, "Didn't you hear my words?" Retire. ”

"Your Majesty, let the slave maid serve you and my young lady here, young lady, she is not used to being around." Smoke Willow made excuses.

Qiu Luoxue squinted at Yanliu, this little girl is really good enough to talk nonsense. But she wasn't angry, Xia Zimo would solve these things for her.

"Don't let me say it a second time." Xia Zimo said with a tough attitude, the only one who could make him accommodate was Qiu Luoxue.

"Okay, you go down, isn't there still His Majesty by my side." Qiu Luoxue didn't tear through the smoke willow either, and said along with her words.

Since Qiu Luoxue had already said so, Yanliu naturally had no reason to stay, and she left after a simple salute.

However, she didn't leave completely, but only went to the outer hall. Now that the other subordinates have retreated, she can just hide in the outer hall and continue to observe Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo's every move.

She didn't have any habit of peeking at other people's intimate actions, she just wanted to observe Qiu Luoxue's every move, lest she spoil King Chen's big things.

"It seems that you are not doing well in King Chen's Mansion, I should have picked you up to the palace earlier." Xia Zimo hugged Qiu Luoxue, who was sitting on his lap, and said.

"How so? Everything is fine with Cher, and my stepfather is also very good to me. Qiu Luoxue said against her will, because she knew that Yanliu had not left yet.

"If someone treats you badly, just tell me, and I will be angry for you." Xia Zimo said.

Qiu Luoxue had a smile on her face, and from her angle, she could just see the smoke willow eavesdropping in the dark, so she said, "Then Your Majesty will deal with the eavesdropper for Xue'er first."

As she spoke, she pointed to the place where Yanliu was, and Xia Zimo heard that someone was eavesdropping, and immediately said, "Someone."

Yanliu knew that something was wrong, so she immediately ran forward, but before she could run out, Xia Zimo's Praetorian Guards came in from outside and blocked the palace gate.

Qiu Luoxue got down from Xia Zimo's lap, and the two walked in front of Gong Yanliu together.

Yanliu looked at Qiu Luoxue and said with surprise on her face: "You actually betrayed me!" Aren't you afraid that the prince will find out and punish you? ”

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid." Qiu Luoxue said with a smile, "That's why I can't let you see the prince." Your Majesty, are you right? The second half of the sentence was asked by Xia Zimo.

Xia Zimo naturally understood what Qiu Luoxue meant, and he ordered: "Take this person down, put him in a prison, and no one is allowed to visit."

Next, news came out from the palace that Qiu Luoxue's maid was put in prison by the emperor for eavesdropping, and it is said that this was arranged by Qiu Luoxue. So Qiu Luoxue and the emperor had a big quarrel in the palace and broke up unhappily.

"Your Majesty, the news has spread." Jin Fu reported after spreading rumors.

"Is that enough?" Xia Zimo asked Qiu Luo Snow Road.

"That's enough, I'll take care of the rest." Qiu Luoxue showed a playful expression.

Seeing her expression, Xia Zimo was in a good mood and said, "Okay, then I'll wait and see how you perform next."

The next thing, Qiu Luoxue had already thought of it. She soon left the palace and returned to King Chen's mansion. As she expected, King Chen had been waiting for her for a long time.

"What the hell is going on today?" King Chen asked as soon as he saw Qiu Luoxue.

Qiu Luoxue had a cold face and said unhurriedly: "I still want to ask my father-in-law what's going on?" Even if you don't trust me, you won't send Yanliu to eavesdrop on my conversation with Your Majesty. Now that she's been discovered, everyone suspects that I arranged what she did. How will I face Your Majesty in the future? ”

"Although I arranged the smoke willow by your side, this matter was not instructed by me." Chen Wang said.

"Whether it was instructed by my father-in-law or not, the emperor has doubts about me now, and if such a thing happens again in the future, our previous efforts will be in vain." Qiu Luoxue said, without the previous obedience, but a little hard.

At this time, Xu Zhonghang suddenly came to the main hall in a panic, and when he came in, he didn't care about etiquette and asked, "What's going on?" Why are you still quarreling with Your Majesty? ”

"It's not that the girl who blames Yanliu, doing that kind of thing by herself, and it will affect me." Qiu Luoxue said, and the anger could still be heard in her tone.

"Don't be angry, Snow Maiden, for the sake of now, you still have to think about how to win back Your Majesty's trust. Such a fuss, coupled with the provocation of people with a heart, will make Your Majesty suspicious of you. In case he thinks you're not the original Qiu Luoxue, things will happen. ”

"I'm not the original Qiu Luoxue." Qiu Luoxue emphasized without a trace.

"Yes, you're not, but he believes you are, and that's enough." Chen Wang said.

"But he's already starting to doubt me, and we have to find a way to solve the matter of the smoke willow." Qiu Luoxue asked this question at the right time.

This is indeed a difficult problem to solve, and Chen Wang fell into deep thought. And Xu Zhonghang exchanged a look with Qiu Luoxue. The matter of the smoke willow is a secret between the two of them, and it is also something they want to promote together.

"I thought of a solution, but I didn't know if it would work." Xu Zhonghang said again and again.

"Tell me about it." Chen Wang said.

"Tomorrow, the prince will take the Snow Maiden into the palace to ask the emperor for his guilt, saying that if he doesn't manage his subordinates well, he will cause this kind of trouble. Xu Zhonghang said his thoughts, of course, this idea was also discussed by Xu Zhonghang and Qiu Luoxue in advance.

However, in order to promote this matter smoothly, Qiu Luoxue still has to contradict Xu Zhonghang. Because King Chen was suspicious, if they all agreed to do so, King Chen would be suspicious.

"Then Your Majesty will really give the smoke willow to death. Although this girl doesn't know the current affairs and almost broke a big thing, after all, she has done a lot for her father-in-law, and if she is given death like this, won't it chill the hearts of those who follow her father-in-law. ”

"This is also a way to do it, if I break my arm in pain, Your Majesty will definitely think that the smoke willow was arranged by you, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will suspect you, and you will ruin the prince's plan, how can that girl repay it." Xu Zhonghang argued.

Chen Wang listened to the two of them for a while, and said: "What AVIC said is right, if you want to achieve great things, you still have to be ruthless."

"Xue'er, the king of tomorrow will enter the palace with you, and you can change how to say it to Your Majesty."

On the second day, Qiu Luoxue and King Chen entered the palace together and talked about the smoke willow, Qiu Luoxue said with snot and tears, and finally regained Xia Zimo's trust. And the smoke willow was given poisoned wine and died. In order to show the center of the emperor, Qiu Luoxue personally gave the poisonous wine to Yanliu.

"Your Majesty has a good heart, only give you a cup of poisonous wine, so that you can die comfortably, and you are not grateful." Qiu Luoxue looked at Yanliudao with contempt.

"All of this is a conspiracy between you and Imperial Doctor Xu, right, you want to kill me?" Smoke willow glared angrily at the autumn snow road.

Qiu Luoxue smiled and said, "I finally figured it out, it's not too stupid."

"Why do you want to kill me?" Yanliu asked.

"Because you are a person sent by the prince, it is very inconvenient to follow me all day long. After all, now that I'm back in the capital, it should be my home field. Qiu Luoxue's face showed a dangerous smile, and when combined with the dim environment around her, it really had a sinister taste.

Yanliu suddenly understood a very important thing, she said: "It turns out that you don't have ......"

"Shh Before Yanliu's words were finished, Qiu Luoxue made a silent gesture and said, "Some words are boring, aren't they?"

"The poison given by the emperor is all rare things, your blessing is not small, hurry up and drink it on the road." Qiu Luoxue said with a smile, handing the poisoned wine to Yanliu, but looking at her expression, it would make people mistakenly think that she was giving something good.

Yanliu guessed what she guessed in her heart, but she still couldn't say it after all, and she drank the cup of poisoned wine with anger and depression, ending her young life.

Qiu Luoxue coldly watched Yanliu drink poisonous wine and watched her fall to the ground, her calm expression made people shudder.

"Think about what you've done, it always feels like this ending is too cheap for you." Qiu Luoxue looked at Yanliu's corpse and said.

Then she was silent for a moment, then turned to leave. Walking in the corridors of the dungeon, the light here was dim, and although it was day, it was like night. Above the walls of the hallway, there were lights not far away, but the candles were not bright. She passed by Xia Ziyan's prison, but Xia Zimo hadn't let him out. When passing by Xia Ziyan's prison, Qiu Luoxue didn't stop, and didn't even look at him. For this prince who was thrown into prison because of her, she didn't feel the slightest guilt.

Xia Ziyan knew that Qiu Luoxue was coming, and he also heard her passing by his cell, but he squatted in the corner and lowered his head, never looking up at Qiu Luoxue, they were like two strangers.

After Qiu Luoxue walked over, Xia Ziyan slowly got up, paced to the door of the prison, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he picked up something on the ground.
