386. Death is certain
At noon, several people wanted to go back to Princess Langzhen's courtyard to eat, and before they could stand up, Zhou Xiuqi came over again.
This time, Zhou Xiuqi invited Princess Zhen, Zhou Xiuqi and Qiao Siwan to dine together, saying that the palace had planned a birthday banquet for Zhou Xiuye.
Zhou Xiuqi was full of smiles, and Princess Zhen responded, counting it, this is the first time in the palace that Zhou Xiuye's birthday is cautiously celebrated.
Princess Zhen didn't understand, it was true that Zhou Xiuye once knew that he was not King Zhen's child, and he was unwilling to face the untruthful faces of those people, but because of Princess Zhen, he was willing to compromise himself.
At the banquet in King Zhen's mansion, there were six tables in the hall, which were full of local dishes.
When Zhou Xiuye arrived, everyone in King Zhen's Mansion was standing to welcome him with a smile on their faces, and even the old princess and King Zhen were standing and waiting for him, and the smiles on their faces were also a little kind.
If Zhou Xiuye didn't know, he might still have some feelings because of such pomp, but seeing this at this time, he was only disgusted.
The smiles of these people are just for his money, but no matter how hard they put on a performance, he can still see through their false hearts.
No matter what they do at this time, they will not let him change his mind.
The old princess, King Zhen, Princess Zhen, Zhou Xiuye, Pang Biroom, and Zhou Xiuqi sat at the same table, and there was also a status of Qiao Siwan at this banquet, and people with a status and Qiao Siwan were generally guests, but it was Pang Yunting who Qiao Siwan didn't expect.
Qiao Siwan was sitting on one side of Zhou Xiuye, and Pang Yunting was sitting on one side, seeing Pang Yunting's eyes falling on Zhou Xiuye from time to time, Qiao Siwan didn't show it on her face, but she was the most unhappy in her heart.
This is also her sitting in the center, Pang Yunting is this bold demeanor, if it weren't for her, would Pang Yunting simply stick to Zhou Xiuye?
At this time, Qiao Siwan felt that Zhou Xiuye usually forbade her to associate with men, because she felt this way at this time.
She knew that Zhou Xiuye didn't have a good impression of Pang Yunting, and she didn't even want to look at Pang Yunting, but when she saw Pang Yunting's explicit eyes looking at Zhou Xiuye, she was still the most uncomfortable in her heart, and her body would have a feeling of wanting to dig out Pang Yunting's eyes.
Qiao Siwan understood why Zhou Xiuye was often jealous, how much this matter fell on her, and her understanding was not necessarily much better than his.
This really has nothing to do with people's aura and whether they understand it, it's just that they feel that they should belong to themselves and are coveted by others, and they have a fighting spirit in their hearts.
The corners of Qiao Siwan's mouth hooked up a faint coaxing smile, Zhen Wangfu didn't deliberately place the banquet today, she would definitely not forget their good intentions.
The moment he saw Pang Yunting, Zhou Xiuye's eyes became gloomy, but with Princess Zhen here, he would definitely not break out, but he recorded this account on everyone in King Zhen's mansion.
Since they dared to send Pang Yunting, a stupid girl, to him, it made him slightly uncomfortable, so they had to plan to bear the price they should have paid!
As soon as the banquet began, everyone began to toast Zhou Xiuye, but Zhou Xiuye responded lightly, facing the toasts of King Zhen and the old princess, Zhou Xiuye just gave them a glass of wine to save face, as for other people's toasts, he just clapped slightly with a faint look, revealing that he knew.
Zhou Xiuye understood so indifferently that the faces of the other people in King Zhen's Mansion were a little unpleasant, but they didn't dare to say anything on their faces, they didn't forget the indicators of today's banquet.
After the banquet began, Zhou Xiuye served vegetables to Princess Zhen and Qiao Siwan, as if he couldn't see anyone else at all.
This scene made the old princess and King Zhen feel sad, and Pang Yunting was also gloomy, and she couldn't wait to replace Zhou Xiuye's colleagues with herself.
In the era, King Zhen would also give Princess Zhen a dish, whether it was Zhou Xiuye's dish or King Zhen's dish, Princess Zhen would eat it with a smile.
However, when Zhou Xiuye saw King Zhen sandwich the shrimp that Princess Zhen couldn't eat into Princess Zhen's bowl, his expression darkened even more.
Zhou Xiuye casually took out the shrimp in Princess Zhen's bowl, and when he gave it to Princess Zhen from the new one after peeling the skin, the chopsticks shook inappropriately, and the shrimp fell on the table and could not be eaten.
Seeing this, King Zhen's eyes sank, but he still held back the liver fire, and wanted to clip another shrimp to Princess Zhen, but was stopped by Zhou Xiuye in an indifferent tone: "Father, the figure of the mother concubine should be light and not meat." ”
At this point, King Zhen's liver fire almost exploded, but the old princess shrank back with a look.
Qiao Siwan is the least faceless, she eats the dishes that Zhou Xiuye gave her, she doesn't even move a chopstick for other dishes, and the wine and tea in front of her don't move.
She reported to everyone in King Zhen's Mansion most clearly, and her willingness to go to the banquet was simply for the sake of Zhou Xiuye's face and had nothing to do with King Zhen's Mansion.
After a feast, everyone in the palace was gloomy.
So many greetings made Princess Zhen a little tired, and when Princess Zhen showed a little tiredness, Zhou Xiuye stood up, thanked everyone lightly, and left with Princess Zhen and Qiao Siwan in the future.
At this point, Pang Yunting couldn't bear it, looking at Qiao Siwan's back, all of them were maneuvering with the tunnel: "Lord Anzhou, don't forget the possibility of you and me!" ”
Qiao Siwan stopped, only turned her head to look at Pang Yunting, and said lightly: "The county lord has not forgotten, but the third girl Pang still plans a thousand taels of silver first." ”
After saying this, Qiao Siwan no longer cared about Pang Yunting's extremely embarrassed expression, and left with Zhou Xiuye without looking back.
So far, Zhou Xiuye has not glanced at Pang Yunting, as if this person is just air in his eyes.
After sending Princess Zhen back to the courtyard, Zhou Xiuye took Qiao Siwan and left King Zhen's mansion.
Before leaving, Qiao Siwan instructed Mu Hibiscus to take care of Princess Haozhen, and to be strict and strict in food and clothing, as small as flower tea, vegetables, and rice noodles.
The hibiscus responded one by one, and Qiao Siwan still looked a little uneasy.
Zhou Xiuye always thought that Qiao Siwan seemed to be very cautious today, but no matter what doubts he had in his heart, he would wait to leave King Zhen's mansion.
After returning to the county lord's mansion, Qiao Siwan first stewed medicinal food for Zhou Xiuye and herself, and then handed over the kitchen to Vanilla and Su Yue.
Zhou Xiuye brought all the gifts received today to the county lord's mansion, and Qiao Siwan opened every ordinary gift and carefully inspected it, and she did not let go of the decoration supplies in the gift herself, the gift box, and the body.
Zhou Xiuye patiently waited for Qiao Siwan to inspect these gifts one by one.
When Qiao Siwan opened a wooden box, a two-foot redundant mountain stone wood carving appeared inside, and at the moment of opening, a strange woody smell immediately emanated from the air, and the black and bright color of the mountain stone gradually became bright red, giving people the feeling that this mountain stone wood carving had a human life.
Such a peculiar mountain stone and wood carving, Qiao Siwan couldn't help frowning, it was because of the peculiarity that she thought it was weird.
"Who gave this gift?" Qiao Siwan turned her head and looked at Zhou Xiuye and asked.
"It's the fourth young master of King Zhen."
"Fourth Young Master?" Qiao Siwan expounded a somewhat shriveled posture in her mind, even if it was a brocade dress, the fourth young master always looked like he hadn't eaten enough, shriveled and shriveled.
The fourth young master and his biological mother Liu Bimu have never been loved by King Zhen, and their mother's family does not have much power, and at this time, Zhou Xiuye cut off the supply of silver, where did he get so much money to buy such a peculiar mountain stone and wood carving?
Thinking of this, Qiao Siwan frowned even deeper.
Qiao Siwan asked Zhou Xiuye to close the doors and windows of the room, and she took out a night pearl and circled around the stone and wood carvings of this mountain.
At this moment, I saw how many gloomy mountain stone and wood carvings were glowing with bright red colors, and such strange colors were like blood.
At the same time, there is an extremely faint and faint smell on the tip of the nose, which is not noticeable to ordinary people.
Different from the previous woody fragrance, there is a strange smell of medicine.
Qiao Siwan's expression turned pale at that moment, and she forcibly settled down and used her clothes to cover up the brilliance of the Night Pearl, and at this point, the brilliance on this strangely colored mountain stone and wood carving suddenly became dimmed in a moment.
Zhou Xiuye's eyes deepened, he was used to seeing the treasures of the universe, but he had never seen such a strange and strange thing.
Qiao Siwan immediately pulled Zhou Xiuye out of the room, and when she saw the sun, Zhou Xiuye realized that Qiao Siwan's expression was the most miserable, as if she had just had a serious illness.
"Weiwei, you ......" Zhou Xiuye's heart became important.
Qiao Siwan turned around, shook her head slightly at Zhou Xiuye, and quietly entered the secret room with him.
At this point, Qiao Siwan looked at Zhou Xiuye in horror and said, "Zhou Xiuye, there are extremely poisonous poisonous insects in that mountain stone and wood carving. ”
Zhou Xiuye helped Qiao Siwan to sit down, and said sadly: "Shicai's extremely faint breath is the poisonous gas of the poisonous insects?" ”
Qiao Siwan clapped slightly: "You and I have absorbed a little poisonous gas, although it is very little, but you can't be sloppy, I will immediately prepare the antidote at this time, you can help me." ”
Zhou Xiuye's expression suddenly became extremely cold, the people in the Zhenwang Mansion were not yet talented, and they were so spicy to him this time.
But it's not the time to investigate the murderer.
Although the toxicity of this poisonous insect is strong, but fortunately, every flavor of the medicinal materials of its antidote is in the secret house, Qiao Siwan and Zhou Xiuye grind and pound the medicine together, and then Zhou Xiuye delivers the medicine, and Qiao Siwan strictly dispenses the medicine according to the medicinal materials in turn.
The two cordially joined forces, and this was the case, and when the antidote was made, it was already a time later.
Looking at the four yellow antidotes, there was a smile on the corner of Qiao Siwan's mouth.
After leaving the secret room, Qiao Siwan and Zhou Xiuye each took an antidote, and each used the remaining two antidote to soak in a medicinal bath.
After such a fact, it was the time when the lights were on after the two of them were busy.
When the two met again, seeing that Qiao Siwan's expression had become normal, Zhou Xiuye's heart relaxed: "Weiwei, your toxicity has been completely resolved, right?" ”
Qiao Siwan clapped slightly, which reassured Zhou Xiuye, it was true that her expression was pale before, not because she was poisoned, but because she was scared.
Because this poisonous insect is a kind of record in the "Zhu Lingzi Notes", this poisonous insect parasitizes in the tree, has a strong human life force, likes light and evil yin, and when exposed to strong light, the body will give birth to a gas, which is this gas contains toxicity.
If someone smells this poisonous gas for more than two hours at a time, within three days, that person will surely die.
Even if you only smell a little poisonous gas at a time, within three months, that person will still die.
If Qiao Siwan's guess is correct, this poisonous insect was found by Qin Kaige for Zhou Xiuhao and Zhou Xiuqi, and specially raised it to deal with Zhou Xiuye, because Zhou Xiuye rarely visited the wood carvings in the room and study, and rarely used the night pearl, which is a bright thing with no other breath.
