Chapter 180: Serial Poison Plan (3)
"Girl, why did you choose a room facing west! If this day is over, it will be hot to death. "The temple man took my bag and pushed open a mezzanine room at the far corner of the terrace.
Facing the terrace, the closest palace in the Qi Palace to the monarch's bedroom. On the third day after the death of the six Lizhu people, in order to appease the doctors in the court, the Marquis of Qi issued an order to move the remaining fourteen people of the Qilan Pavilion to the court terrace.
"This room is good, you can see the sunset on the platform when you open the window. And you see, the June snow out there is blooming so well. I took off my robe and hung it on the edge of the bed, and used a thin stick to prop up a veiled window on the west wall. Outside the window, the original white June snow was dyed with a layer of rose-red halo by the sunset, and the overlapping petals were the rouge next to the woman's cheeks, thick or light, along the bluestone railing from one end to the other. Looking into the distance, behind the pavilions, a majestic and magnificent platform stands quietly in the boundless twilight. Huan Gong points to the generals and dominates the princes. More than 100 years ago, Qi Huan Gong ascended the high platform, and the sound of raising his arms and shouting still seemed to echo in the sky above the Dianjiang platform.
"Bi, I really want to be born two hundred years early, see Duke Huan, and see Guan Xiang." I leaned against the window and took a fan with a thin rod handed over by the temple man.
"What do you do with those who are ancients? The girl has to think about it now, how to see the current monarch. The temple man brushed away the fragments of his forehead and fanned the wind with a veil.
"You've just been in Ji Jiang's house for so long, but you can ask who is the person who poisoned the food box?" I took a fan and gently fanned the wind for the temple people.
"The food box was sent into the palace by the Xiangye, but the temple people who sent the evening food that day said that it was the temple manager who forced him to poison the food box."
"The head of the temple poisoned the key girl? Why is that? ”
"This manager, who is in the same group as the right minister, heard that he had a grudge against our prime minister before entering the palace. This time, he saw that Xiangye had suffered in the court, and Miss Su happened to fall into his hands again, so he took the opportunity to poison and retaliate. The first time I saw the white-headed old guy that day, I knew he wasn't a good guy! The temple man said indignantly.
This ring after ring finally came to Kan Zhi!
"The doctors who died of their daughters believe it?" To be honest, even if I didn't know about the Chen family's conspiracy and Ah Su's methods, I wouldn't believe that the white-headed old temple man would use this kind of jade burning method to make Chen Heng's righteous daughter angry at such a critical juncture.
"The people who poisoned themselves have admitted it, and of course those doctors believe it!"
Hmph, these people have already boarded Chen's ship, and even if they suspect that there is another conspiracy behind this matter, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood, and exchange their daughter's life for a little credit to Chen Heng in the future.
Seeing that I was silent, the temple man hurriedly put the handkerchief that wiped his sweat into his cuffs, leaned close to me and whispered, "Don't you believe it, girl?" ”
"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not. When the sun goes down, you can go and sit in the courtyard and blow the wind, so you don't have to sit here with me. "I took a flint from the desk and lit the first candle of the night.
"Why doesn't the girl go out and sit?" The temple people took the fire sticks and helped to light up the remaining lights in the house.
"Didn't you hear? Outside, they were already singing and drinking. I can't get along with them, so I won't go out and make trouble for myself. Didn't you have a new dark blue patina, take it out and try it on the nobles, and there will always be your reward when you look back. ”
"What are you doing, girl?"
"I'll grind the medicine in the house, and when it's cold this day, you can come in and change the medicine."
"Thank you, girl!" The temple man turned around and took out five or six small boxes of black lacquer and red patterns of different sizes from his small baggage, and walked out happily.
What the hell is like in the court, the women in the palace are no longer interested. Ji Jiang and his group have been drinking and singing and dancing every day since they moved into the terrace, as long as they know that they are safe, it is enough. Who killed the six sisters in the same class, in fact, no one cares.
In a blink of an eye, on the seventh day of our entry into the palace, the Marquis of Qi issued an order to summon the fourteen female musicians sent to the palace by the Chen family in the small pavilion three days later.
On the night of the day, when Jun ordered me to go to the terrace, Ah Su, who had always maintained a lukewarm relationship with me, suddenly knocked on my door.
I politely welcomed her in, poured her a glass of lark wine from the palace and served it to her.
Ah Su naturally wouldn't drink the wine I poured, she took the five-fish joint pattern lacquer ear cup into her hand, and immediately put it on the desk next to her: "Ah Shi, I'm coming to you tonight......"
"What is Sister Su doing in such a hurry? It's hot, so let's take a sip of sake to moisten your mouth! I pushed the ear cup she had placed on the desk, turned to the temple man standing behind me, and said, "Bi, you go and get some water and pour a few bushes of June snow on the platform." After a day of drying, I saw that the soil under me was almost dry. After watering, take the handkerchief and wipe the ashes off each petal. Start soft, you know? ”
"No!" The temple man bent down to take the silk handkerchief I handed over, smiled and bowed to Ah Su and withdrew.
Aso's brow furrowed at her, and it was very short, so short that I couldn't see her emotions.
"Do you know why I'm coming to you tonight? Beat people out so quickly. Ah Su withdrew his gaze from the temple people, turned to look at me and smiled slightly.
"When you come to me, you don't talk to me about raising flowers and planting flowers. Say, I'll listen! I got up and found myself another ear cup and poured myself a glass of lark.
"The medicine I asked you to dispense, are you ready?" Ah Su picked up a thin pole fan that I had placed on the reed mat and gently fanned the wind.
"The matter of Qilan Pavilion is so big, are you still thinking about poisoning? I think Qi Hou has already taken precautions. ”
"In terms of eating, Qi Hou already has two people who try dishes, and they can't do it. What I want is the poisonous incense you made. Ah Su pointed to the incense burner in my room with the handle of his fan.
I lowered my head and took a sip of wine, and said, "Xiang, I can give it to you." But you have to show me the way out of the palace. ”
Ah Su smiled slightly and was about to speak, when there was a sudden "bang" sound outside the window. She put down the fan, bounced up, and moved to the window in an instant.
"It's the temple people who smashed the water scoop! He's a very frizzy man. I shook my fan and chuckled.
Ah Su glanced left and right through the window lattice, and then turned back to me: "There are my people at the south gate of the palace, after the matter is completed, you and I can disguise ourselves as temple people in the palace to buy vegetables and fruits, and we can get out of the palace." ”
"It's as simple as that? As soon as Qi Hou fell ill, there were inexplicably two fewer people in the palace, wouldn't they be suspected of being tracked down? ”
"It's not easy, but I have a way of making it easy." Ah Su didn't wear makeup tonight, and only a pair of eyes on his dark yellow and thin face showed a compelling momentum.
"Well, I believe you. It's just that how do I know that after you leave the palace, you won't kill me? ”
"You saved my father, and I won't kill you. And, you and I ......" Ah Su looked into my eyes and stopped talking.
I sneered, put down the fan, and said coldly: "You don't need to say other reasons, just this first sentence, I don't believe it anymore." ”
"And what do you want?" Ah Su frowned lightly.
"Send someone to tell Zhao Wuxian and ask him to pick me up outside the south palace gate."
"No, his swordsmanship is far above mine, and if he sees me, he will kill me."
"It's okay if you don't tell Wuxian, you take my medicine before you take me out of the palace."
"What medicine?"
"Medicine that will make you unable to use your sword. It's similar to the poison I gave to Qi Hou, except that if you have a smaller portion, it will be better in a few hours. How is it? I took a sip from the glass on the table, and my gut told me that this time Asu would agree to my suggestion.
"Okay, no problem. But you have to make two servings, and you can eat with me when the time comes. ”
"Okay, it's a deal!" I slapped my palm, got up with a smile and took out a small bag of poisonous incense made in advance from under the bed, "Qi people like to smoke strong incense, this medicine tastes very light, ordinary people can't smell it." When the fire is burned, the person who inhales the smell will feel fatigue and drowsiness, and will be bedridden after three days of use. ”
"How much did you make?" Ah Su opened the pouch and looked at it, "How is it medicinal powder?" How much will it use this time? ”
"After seeing Qi Hou in three days, I will make the medicinal powder into pills according to his body shape and the strength of his breath. One for the first three days, one for one day, and one for the next ten days. Half a month is enough time for your stepfather to turn the world upside down in the Qi country. ”
"Thirteen days, that's enough!" Ah Su stretched out his hand and took a sip of the wine glass in front of me, "Sister Shi, look at Ji Jiang's figure, how much medicine do you need?" ”
"What do you want to do?" My heart pounded.
"I took your medicine, so naturally I want to try it. There are so many women on the terrace, all of whom are ready-made drug testers. ”
"Why do you want to hurt another one?" I looked at Asu's face without grease powder, and I always regarded her as the strong and kind Asu next to Zishui in a trance.
"You don't make this poisonous incense to harm people, can you still use it to save people? Say, how much do you want to use? If you don't say it, I'll pour it all into it." ”
"How could I have thought someone like you was pitiful!" I snorted coldly and took out a small finger-sized bone cup from my baggage and placed it in front of her, "Listen, half a cup." If there are too many, there will be deaths. ”
"Understood." Ah Su smiled and tightened the pouch into his sleeve, and then spread his hand towards me again, "Do you still have something for me?" ”
"What?"
"Of course it's the antidote! Qi Hou always goes in and out on weekdays, and there are temple people and maids to follow, if they fall ill with Qi Hou, this matter will not be exposed. Don't tell me, you didn't expect that. Because, I don't believe it either. Asu Waner smiled.
"You guys played such a big game, don't you just want to replace the head of the inner palace with your own person? A murderer like Chen Wei can sneak into the palace as a guard, change to the head of the inner palace, and beat a few irrelevant people, it shouldn't be difficult for you, right? In that case, why should I bother with any antidote, and besides, there is no solution to this medicine. ”
"You say there is no solution to this medicine?" Ah Su unconsciously touched the cuff of the charge.
"No solution."
"Oh, that's for the best." Ah Su stood up, pinched the ear cup with two fingers, and drank my wine with a tilt of his head, "Ah Shi, it's really tiring to talk to you." We're done with this, so don't be an enemy in the future. After she finished speaking, she pushed the door slightly and walked out.
