Chapter 768: Peony is poisonous

"The king hasn't left yet? Doesn't he have to go to court? ”

Turning around, Lin Mengya asked suspiciously while wiping the thin beads of sweat on her forehead with a cloth towel.

"No, the king usually goes to the Jade Temple after breakfast to deal with the government and meet the courtiers. Only on the fifteenth day of the new year will there be a pilgrimage. At other times, if there is no urgency, the ministers will not come to the palace. ”

As Mrs. Jingrou's personal maid, she naturally knows the king's work and rest time better than anyone else.

Although the national conditions and rules are different, being a decision-maker has always been the same hard work.

After tidying up their appearance, following behind Ning Qiu, the two of them entered the dormitory of Fengyu Garden lightly.

In the dormitory, the palace ladies have already been prepared, and the faint taste of breakfast in the palace seems to soften the coldness in the palace, and it feels like an ordinary morning.

"Your Majesty, this is the Helan girl I told you, Yu'er's affairs are thanks to her."

There were only a few of them in the dormitory, but Mrs. Jingrou was still soft-spoken, and no one could hear them except the four of them.

Lin Mengya abides by the rules and respectfully bows down the etiquette.

"The slave doesn't dare to be a slave, this matter is just a coincidence."

Don't be greedy for merit, and don't say much.

Even Mrs. Jingrou, in front of the king, is still cautious, not to mention, she is just an outsider.

"Oh? I see. ”

A mellow and cold sentence, said indifferently, so that people couldn't hear his true emotions.

Lin Mengya only heard an extremely faint sound of flipping books, and after that, there was a somewhat unpredictable silence.

Kneeling on the ground, Lin Mengya's heart was full of thoughts, and in the end, she could only choose to be honest, kneeling on the ground, and accepting the king's seemingly nonexistent gaze.

Now such a scene, even Mrs. Jingrou did not expect.

Originally, he was his son's life-saving benefactor, and kneeling like this seemed to be something.

But after hesitating for a moment, she could only look at her husband helplessly, with a little disapproval in her eyes.

After about a few minutes, Lin Mengya maintained this respectful attitude and knelt there motionless.

The king closed the book, and a pair of wise and shrewd eyes fell on Lin Mengya's body.

"Well, yes, it's suitable for your palace, get up."

In the tone, although there was no obvious fluctuation, it was more cordial than just now.

Lin Mengya thanked her, got up dignifiedly, and stepped aside, abiding by her duty.

She also figured out what the king meant just now, even if she was Xiaoyu's life-saving benefactor, but from the king's point of view, there were thousands of ways to repay her so-called kindness, and she didn't have to be placed in Mrs. Jingrou's Fengyu Garden.

If she is a sensible person, it is best, if she is not sensible, by the side of Mrs. Jingrou, sooner or later she will invite trouble.

However, Lin Mengya has always known the meaning of the four words "Peace" and "Guarding Yourself", and presumably the attempt just now has made the king initially feel that she is a person who can stay in the palace.

"Miss Helan is indeed capable, I like it very much, with Helan by my side, you don't have to worry about me anymore, your lord."

Lin Mengya was recognized, and Mrs. Jingrou seemed to be relieved, and hurriedly said some good things for Lin Mengya.

In front of the king, Mrs. Jingrou called herself 'I', not like a concubine in front of the queen, one by one, Lin Mengya also noticed the difference between the two.

Standing in the corner, he glanced vaguely at the king.

But unexpectedly, I found that the king had brought half a mask for some reason.

The silver-white mask was a little abrupt on his face, but the half of his face was even more perfect than he expected.

Maybe when Xiaoyu becomes an adult, he will be like his father, get rid of his childishness, and gradually have some of the respect and heroism of the superiors.

But it must not be as good as this king, the blade-like coldness, as if freezing his handsomeness, is daunting.

His eyes wandered, as if there was no one in the world, anything, who could move him.

But only when I saw Mrs. Jingrou, those deep eyes thawed for a moment.

It's just a moment.

It seemed to feel that Lin Mengya was looking at her, and a pair of sharp eyes of the king instantly met her for a moment.

Lin Mengya immediately retreated, but missed the deep shock in the eyes of the king.

Fortunately, the king is a person who is very good at hiding his emotions, but in a blink of an eye, his emotions have disappeared into invisibility.

The people present were afraid that no one would know about it except himself.

After that, what the king said and did, Lin Mengya didn't care too much.

She just felt a little strange, according to everyone, Lady Jingrou seemed to be the person on the tip of the king's heart.

But she looked at the way the two of them got along, and Madame was indeed tender and sweet to the king, and cared for him in every way.

But why does the king always look cold, as if he doesn't care much about everyone.

It's just that the king treats his wife differently, and it is indeed different.

In the eyes of the king looking at Mrs. Jingrou, the flash of affection could not deceive people.

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell where it came from.

In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that the king wants to protect Mrs. Jingrou.

Life in Feng Yu Yuan did not start easily, because Lady Jingrou was almost in charge of everything up and down the palace.

Therefore, after breakfast, she accompanied her wife in the main hall to deal with various things.

Before noon, I saw a palace lady walking towards the main hall in a panic.

"Mrs. Qiyu, the queen has a sudden illness, and now the ladies of the palaces are in the queen's bedroom. The medical officers were at a loss, and asked the high priest to come in and see, and the king said, and asked for the lady's instructions. ”

With the king here, Mrs. Jingrou will always be the most powerful woman in this palace.

Therefore, even if it is a matter of the queen's life, the person who is in charge is still Mrs. Jingrou.

Now that she is sick, Lin Mengya inadvertently bent the corners of her mouth. But counting the hours, it's time to do it.

Her smile did not hide from Jingrou's eyes, she was calm, and let the little Gong'e retreat first, and after retiring everyone, she looked at Lin Mengya suspiciously.

"What do you know?"

Where do you know the inside story, because this incident was planned by her.

After a half-salute, Lin Mengya said in a low voice.

"Madame need not be alarmed, and there is no need to invite the high priest to come and heal her. This disease will subside in only three or five days, and the queen will only suffer a little. But if the queen mobilized the people to cure her of this cold, what would the lady think? ”

In fact, the key to the matter is that pot, her blood-dripping purple peony.

You know, her blood is the crown of poisons. As long as it is exposed to the air, it can kill people with half a star.

Although the flower can only withstand one day and night, because of its fragrant fragrance, it is actually faintly toxic.

The queen must have loved this flower so much that she would not leave it in the dormitory, but she would not pay attention to her too far.

In this way, poisoning is inevitable.

As for those who are close to the service, if they are always moving around, or if they often go outside to breathe, they will only feel a little dizzy.

Now that she is sick, the people closest to her are afraid that they will have the same chain reaction as her.

But although the toxicity is violent, after all, it is just a smell of flowers.

The circulatory system of the human body naturally has the function of detoxification.

If you can close a few bowls of mung bean soup, it will be fine.

However, the poison she used was so profound, not to mention those medical officers, I am afraid that even the teacher will not be able to verify the toxicity of this poison, of course she is not afraid, she will be caught red-handed.

As for the withered peony, it will definitely be disposed of by those palace people, after all, who dares to put a pot of ruined flowers in the palace of the queen?

After listening to Lin Mengya's words, a pot of delicate purple peonies suddenly appeared in Jingrou's mind.

In the blink of an eye, she understood the meaning of Lin Mengya's words.

There was some hesitation on his face, and after a moment, he fell silent.

"Come, go to the city and ask the high priest, let the high priest, within five days, be sure to rush to the royal city. By the way, the priests of those tribes were also invited. The life of the queen is of paramount importance, and no one shall delay it. ”

commanding Ruoding's orders, Lin Mengya really admired Mrs. Jingrou more and more.

She just reminded her that Madame would be able to perfect the matter, and I am afraid that this time, the queen will offend the tribe and the high priest.

The palace people took the order and left, and only Lin Mengya and the three were left in the main hall.

Ning Qiu didn't need to say it, she went to guard the door vigilantly, and Mrs. Jingrou looked at Lin Mengya hesitantly, because she really didn't know how she thought of this.

"You know the severity of this matter, although I did it according to your wishes, but if someone finds out, you and I will not be able to get out of it."

Lin Mengya smiled softly, and the jade hand filled a cup of tea for Mrs. Jingrou.

"Don't worry, madam, the method I used is very ingenious, and there will be absolutely no evidence of any incrimination, and no one can find out what method I used. In fact, there is a sentence that I have always said to my wife. After so many years, hasn't Madame endured enough? ”

It wasn't Lin Mengya who was ruthless, so she came to the palace, so she changed her way and poisoned the queen.

It's because, on the way, Xiaoyu has already reported the situation of their family of three to Lin Mengya.

The eldest son born to the queen, although the mother's status is a little embarrassing, but after all, he is the first child of the king, and it is said that he is also quite capable and famous, and he was one of the most powerful candidates for the status of the crown prince before.

The most important thing is that because of the suppression of the eldest prince, the princes and clans who were originally ready to move can only temporarily restrain their minions.
