Chapter 30: No hesitation
Isn't it toxic? What's going on?
"Actually, I really want to taste what this peach blossom cake tastes like. Your sister wants you to eat more, and she doesn't even want to give me a piece, but it's better for the eldest lady to take it out and share it together, it's delicious!"
Xiao Tang gave a thumbs up and patted Zhen Yue's hand again: "Yue'er, whoever marries you in the future will be blessed." ”
"That sister eats too, I want to hear what you say about your craft." Zhen Chutian pretended to be looking forward to handing over a piece of peach blossom cake, and he was completely confused.
It is absolutely impossible for the system to make a mistake, and this peach blossom cake is indeed poisonous.
It can't be that they specially made marks, some are poisonous and some are not, right?
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian leaned over to carefully observe the peach blossom cake, and didn't see any difference after watching it for a long time.
"Did you really detect a toxin? It can't be to scare me, is it?"
System: "You can trust no one, but you can't trust me, because I'm not human at all." ”
Zhen Chutian listened to the nonsense of the system and couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.
"Sister can't see the formula like this, if you want to learn, I can ask Cuiping to write a recipe and send it over, and you will be able to do it in the future."
Zhen Yue said this with a smile, and pinched her throat again: "The peach blossom cake is a little dry, sister, can you make tea for your crab?"
Hearing this, Zhen Chutian came back to his senses and smiled: "I forgot to serve tea, Pei'er, you go and make a pot of tea." ”
Speaking of this, she continued: "Speaking of tea, I went to the Ruyi Tea Workshop yesterday, and my mother kept the tea workshop in good order, and the tea leaves were the freshest, so it was no wonder that business was booming." ”
"Mother's housekeeper is very capable, my sister should believe her, if you feel that the housekeeper is inadequate, let your mother help." Zhen Yue took the opportunity to say this, quite impatient.
Looking at her appearance, Zhen Chutian hooked his lips quietly: "I'll talk about this later, but I do admire my mother's ability to do business, this tea is very particular, it only sells new tea for six days, and if it is more than six days, it will be thrown out and thrown away." ”
After speaking, she carefully looked at Zhen Yue's reaction and found that she was also surprised for a moment.
Tang Meihua didn't tell her daughter about opening a tea shop, why is this?
She turned her head suspiciously, and when she looked at Xiao Tang's again, she saw her clenching her sleeves thoughtfully, her face was a little unnatural, it turned out that Xiao Tang's knew about it.
"Here comes tea." Pell came in with a teapot.
Smelling the fragrance of tea, Zhen Yue suddenly smiled: "It's really good tea, I'll pour tea for my sister and aunt." ”
After saying that, she didn't care about Pei'er's reaction, she grabbed the teapot and was about to pour the tea.
Zhen Chutian leaned on the Taishi's chair and watched her pour tea thoughtfully, feeling a little strange.
The peach blossom cake should be non-poisonous, otherwise Xiao Tang and Zhen Yue would not be able to eat it without looking at it.
But she really couldn't figure it out, if the peach blossom cake was not poisonous, where would the poison hide?
Zhen Chutian thought about it, and subconsciously picked up the teacup.
As soon as she brought it to her lips and wanted to take a sip, she saw that Xiao Tang was staring at her closely, as if she couldn't wait for her to drink so slowly.
And Zhen Yue next to her deliberately didn't look at her, although she tried her best to pretend to be natural, she still revealed a little nervousness.
Seeing this, Zhen Chutian still didn't understand something.
There was no mistake in the detection system, and they did bring poison here, but in order not to attract attention, they did not poison the peach blossom cake, but took the opportunity to put it in the tea.
When the time came, she drank the tea and died, these two people were intact, no one could have imagined that the tea was poisonous, it was really a good calculation!
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Zhen Chutian's eyes.
She put down the teacup and chuckled, "Sister, how can you come to see your clothes before you come?" They weren't dressed properly, and the skirt was crookedHearing this, Zhen Yue and Xiao Tang subconsciously lowered their heads.
While they were still carefully inspecting, Zhen Chutian quickly took out the silver needle and inserted it in the tea for a moment before quickly putting it away on the table.
The silver needle was very small, and when Zhen Yue raised her head to speak, she didn't notice that there was one more thing on the table.
And Zhen Chutian held the teacup to warm his hands, staring closely at the silver needle, and saw that it slowly became charred black, obviously there was poison in this teacup.
You want her to die so much.......
"Why doesn't my sister drink tea yet? Eating peach blossom cake and drinking tea, it couldn't be more delicious. Zhen Yue said this with a smile, and her eyes were dark.
Zhen Chutian raised her head and showed a smile that was even brighter than her: "If you pour the tea too full, the tea foam will float out, let's change it, I'll drink yours." ”
She didn't care whether Zhen Yuetong agreed or not, and directly swapped the two cups of tea.
"Drink."
Zhen Yue and Xiao Tang were stunned.
They looked at Zhen Chutian's well-groomed appearance, and for a while they couldn't tell whether she was doing it on purpose or simply wanted to change the tea.
Zhen Chutian tilted his head, how simple and innocent his appearance was: "You drink, don't you still feel choked and panicked?"
"I...."
"Isn't it, you don't like my tea? This is ten taels of silver and three dollars of tea, what's wrong?" Her eyes widened, pretending to be unacceptable.
Zhen Yue hurriedly waved her hand and smiled reluctantly: "That's not the case, sister, you misunderstood." ”
"Then you just drink, if you don't drink, you won't give me face, it's not good to dislike the things in our lotus hall." Zhen Chutian pretended to be angry, and she had to wait for her to drink it to be satisfied.
Seeing that she was really angry, Zhen Yue had no choice but to look at Xiao Tang for help.
Xiao Tang chuckled twice, walked over and picked up the teacup: "This tea is too full, no one wants to drink this tea foam, and then let Yue'er pour tea for you." ”
"No need, I don't want to drink anymore, let's go."
Zhen Chutian sat down expressionlessly, posing as if he was angry and couldn't be coaxed.
"Why is my sister so angry? Isn't it just a cup of tea? You don't want to drink it, I naturally don't want to drink tea foam, I can't pour tea well to make you laugh, and then I'll pour you a cup again. Zhen Yue coaxed in a good voice, and was about to pick up the teapot again, if she didn't want to kill this cheap hoof, she wouldn't have been so lowly and persuasive.
Hearing this, Zhen Chutian sneered twice: "Since you can't pour tea, let it go, Pei'er, come here." ”
Although Pei'er didn't know what was going on, she also saw the clue, and hurriedly leaned over to pour tea, not giving Zhen Yue a chance to touch the teapot again.
Under Zhen Yue's stunned gaze, Zhen Chutian took the teacup, took a sip lightly, and then hooked his lips with satisfaction: "It's really good tea, sister, sit down, and taste it with your aunt." ”
The two looked at each other, as if they were sitting on pins and needles, which was very uncomfortable.
How so.
This Zhen Chutian didn't seem to be defenseless at all, but he easily avoided the poison, could he really have noticed something?
"Sister......
"Miss, let's drink tea first, remember to eat the peach blossom cake, let's go first." Xiao Tang decisively got up, interrupted Zhen Yue's words and took her away.
Looking at the backs of the two, Zhen Chutian's face suddenly turned cold.
She put down the teacup heavily, and couldn't help but snort: "Want to kill me? It's too simple!"
Hearing this, Pei'er was frightened: "They want to harm Miss? Why didn't the slave see it?"
"Naturally, you can't see that this tea is colorless and tasteless, and even I almost drank it." Zhen Chutian pushed the tea cup in front of her.
Pei'er leaned over curiously, looking left and right and couldn't see anything wrong.
She thought about it, pulled out the silver hairpin and put it in the tea, and just wanted to take it out, she saw that the child quickly turned black, and the surface was also corroded.
"It turned out to be.... It's poisonous!" Pei'er took two steps back in horror, thinking that her young lady had just held the tea cup to her mouth, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
How could they be so vicious!
Zhen Chutian couldn't help but snort coldly: "You think so highly of me, in order to kill me, you went to great lengths to get such a thing, no wonder you invited me over to admire the moon last night." ”
I couldn't wait to kill her last night, and if it didn't work, I would come here early in the morning, how anxious I must be.
What can she do if she dies a little later?
Pei'er was so anxious: "Then what should we do?" Miss, you can see that the tea is poisonous, what should you do if they go to a surprise place in the future?"
As she spoke, she burst into tears.
She doesn't want to see something happen to Miss, the current life is just a little bit over, if Miss dies, then how can she live!
Zhen Chutian saw that she was crying pitifully, and suddenly softened a little: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry too much, your young lady is amazing, think of a way to stop them from doing it again." ”
With that, she picked up the poisonous cup of tea and fell into deep thought.
This kind of poison is generally not sold in pharmacies, and it is not easy for the Xiao Tang family to get it, so the poison in their hands is limited.
If they could find a way to steal it, they wouldn't be able to get it again.
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian's eyes lit up slightly: "Pei'er, how about stealing poison with me at night?"
"Stealing poison? No, no, you must not do this, the compound is heavily guarded, not only the maids and baskets who serve the eldest lady, but also the family members who specially protect the adults, this will not work. Pei'er hurriedly shook her head and vetoed, not wanting her to put her in danger Zhen Chutian held her chin and couldn't help but sigh.
If it were just those maids, she would be able to break into the compound easily, but unfortunately there are still family members who know martial arts, I'm afraid she will be discovered as soon as she gets close.
She thought for a moment, and suddenly another thought came to her mind: "You say..... If we find a helper who is higher than the family's martial arts, will we be able to do it?"
"Having said that, how can there be such a powerful helper." Pei'er pouted, only feeling that her own young lady was whimsical.
Zhen Chutian evoked a mysterious smile: "Why don't you have a helper?"
Half an hour later.
Pei'er stood in front of Prince Hua's mansion, hesitating and not daring to step forward.
At this time, the door of the mansion was opened, and Night Shadow just walked out with two people, and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw her: "Why are you here?"
"I have an urgent matter to find the prince, can you help?" Pell took two steps forward and looked at him expectantly.
Night Shadow knew that she was Miss Zhen's personal maid, and considering that his prince's life was in the hands of this eldest lady, he didn't hesitate for long before agreeing.
The Royal Study.
Gu Chenghan straightened his clothes and was about to get up to leave, when he saw Night Shadow bring a little girl in.
"This is Miss Zhen's maid's meal, saying that she is looking for you in an emergency." Nightshade stepped forward to salute, his attitude instantly becoming respectful.
Gu Chenghan frowned, raised his eyes and looked at Pei'er: "What's the urgency of your young lady?"
Hearing his question, Pei'er hurriedly took two steps forward, hesitating and not knowing how to make it clear.
"Come on, the prince is going to enter the palace." Nightshade couldn't stand the urging, not knowing why she was so grinding.
Pei'er swallowed her saliva and said her purpose openly: "Miss invites the prince to go to the lotus hall at night, help her go to the compound to steal things, and ask the prince to agree!"
When the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the study.
Night Shadow's eyes widened: "You mean to say that Miss Zhen wants to enjoy something with the prince?"
He heard him right, right? How could they help a woman steal something!
