Chapter 215: True Intentions Under Poison
Zhu Fence walked in the direction of the Soul Eater, and was about to walk towards an ear room.
Peony appeared in time, "What are you doing?" Who let you in? ”
When Zhu Liang turned around, he saw Peony standing at the door panting. "Didn't Princess Miaotong ask me to come here to find her, she said she was going to apologize to me."
"The princess said that you should come over after packing your things, don't you understand?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid the princess doesn't know, I didn't bring any luggage when I came, so naturally I have nothing to pack."
"......" Peony didn't know what to say, thought for a while, and said, "Then you can't come in casually, this is the princess's bedroom." ”
"So what's the matter, we're all women, is there anything to avoid? Besides, I'm a guest of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and Princess Miaotong asked me to come over, do you want me to stand under the sun and wait? ”
"You...... Country Wild Woman. "Peony is angry, I don't know what to say.
Zhu Liang saw the peony appear in a hurry, and knew that there was something wrong here. But now that she was here, it was not easy for her to investigate, so she found a chair and sat down. "I'm a guest, as a palace maid, shouldn't you pour me a cup of tea? The rules of this Emperor Jin Palace are like this? ”
"Humph!" Peony walked to the table next to him angrily, picked up the teapot and cup and walked over, and was about to pour tea.
Zhu Li immediately said: "I don't drink overnight tea. ”
"You!" Peony thought to herself: Okay, you won't live long anyway, I'll let you get out of it first, just let me be kind, and let you enjoy the treatment of the master.
Peony directly asked people to talk about the tea cooking tools and took them, and began to do the tea ceremony in front of Zhu Li.
Zhu Liang stared at the peony, the more she looked, the more familiar she felt, she and the peony fairy looked alike, but without the fairy spirit and arrogance of the peony fairy, it was a little more bitter and mean. Mo Heng said that the peony fairy has been pushed off the Xiantai, and it should be forever lost with the immortal, is this the reincarnation of the peony fairy? There's a Soul Eater here, does she know about Soul Eater? Tempted her, "I didn't expect the peony girl's tea art to be so good." ”
Peony snorted, "Hmph, of course, do you think anyone can be the princess's palace maid?" As a princess, the palace maid herself must be versatile, so that she can share the worries of her master. ”
"Look at the peony girl like this, versatile and beautiful, I see, you are more noble than the ladies in the palace."
Peony was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said with a smile: "I really didn't expect you to be so sweet as a country woman." But I thought in my heart: She is really a person who wakes up in her dreams, she is now by Princess Miaotong's side, looking at the princess like this, it is absolutely impossible to make herself the master of the Hou Ye's room, and she will not easily let herself marry. Wouldn't he be lonely for the rest of his life, and he would be a subordinate for the rest of his life. But if she becomes the emperor's concubine, then her status is above the princess, and she no longer has to serve others. And with his young beauty, versatility, he can definitely be favored.
Just when Peony was fantasizing about becoming a concubine, Zhu Li slowly paralyzed her mind with fairy power, although it was only slight, but it was useless for the strong-willed. And in this way, you won't suffer much backlash. "Are you going to add soul devouring to your tea?"
Peony replied without going through the brain: "What is Soul Eater?" ”
"Are you going to add poison to the tea?"
"Poison, of course, can't be added to the tea, it's already added to the snack, everyone eats it, so that if someone is poisoned, they won't suspect us, but they don't know that we have already taken the antidote."
"Oh? So, you also used this way to give poison to Master Hou? ”
"That's right, if you want to say that this Hou Ye is really cautious, we all ate that thing, and he was willing to eat it."
"Well, Peony, you can cook tea well, I'm still waiting to drink it."
"Okay, it'll be right away."
Zhu Liang put away the fairy power, and Peony immediately recovered his thoughts, and immediately patted his head, what was he thinking just now, how could he think of becoming a concubine.
When the tea was ready, Peony poured herself a cup and another cup for Zhu Li, and then put the tea on the table very politely, "Drink, I'm afraid you have never drunk such a good tea in your life." ”
For the rest of the day, the two were relatively speechless, each thinking about their own things.
Zhu Liang was thinking, it seemed that they had drugged Mo Heng, but it was not a soul eater, as for what it was, he couldn't find out yet. And nine times out of ten, it is soul devouring, for immortals, it is just that they will lose their immortal power and not lose their lives, but for mortals, they will lose their lives and their souls will be scattered. I love eBooks
And Peony was thinking about how she could become the emperor's concubine, and fantasized that she was criticizing and punishing Princess Miaotong fiercely.
Princess Miaotong was finally reluctantly sent back by Mo Heng, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhu Liang waiting there. immediately said ostentatiously: "Peony, Brother Mo Heng is really tired, he is willing to send me back when it is almost dark." ”
When Peony saw Princess Miaotong coming back, she immediately got up and walked over to support her. "Isn't it, our princess and Hou Ye are childhood sweethearts, and when Hou Ye was a child, he was willing to pester Her Royal Highness the princess, and not let the princess suffer a little grievance."
"Peony, don't talk nonsense, Brother Mo Heng is a man after all." Although Princess Miaotong said this, her heart was happy.
"It's the slave who talks a lot."
"It's okay, you're also unintentional, just pay attention to it in the future." After Princess Miaotong said this, she pretended to see Zhu Li, "Oh, Miss Zhu Li has been waiting here, and I have forgotten my appointment with you." I'm really sorry, but you must have missed dinner at such a late hour. Peony, you hurry up, Brother Mo Heng brought me the osmanthus cake. ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
Zhu Liang thought to himself: I can't wait to let myself take poison? "The princess is polite, I have nothing to do anyway, sit here for a while, and you can still feel the royal atmosphere."
"Huh." Princess Miaotong walked to the upper seat.
After a while, Peony brought the pastry.
Princess Miaotong immediately said: "Taste it, this is what Brother Mo Heng personally asked Mama Zhao to make, and it is still hot." ”
"Thank you, princess, then you're welcome." Zhu Liang picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said, "Well, it's really fragrant, Mama Zhao's craftsmanship, I won't be able to eat it in the future." "If you don't smell this pastry carefully, you really can't smell anything abnormal, if Mo Heng eats it for himself, he will definitely not find anything abnormal, which shows the intentions of the person who poisoned it." If she eats this pastry and dies of poisoning, if she is investigated in the end, Princess Miaotong is not suspicious at all, and the person who poisoned her promises to point to Mama Zhao, even if Mo Heng is sober, if you want to track it down, you can only find Mama Zhao's head, and Princess Miaotong has no responsibility at all.
Zhu Li wanted to put down the osmanthus cake, but she found that Princess Miaotong and Peony were looking at her directly, waiting for her to eat it. Zhu Liang had to pretend to eat it, but in fact, he used fairy power to transfer the pastry.
Princess Miaotong was relieved when she saw that Zhu Liang had eaten the pastry, because as long as she took a little bit of this poison, then she would not be able to live, and the poison would only be a matter of time or time. "Peony, bring the apology gift prepared by the palace for Miss Zhu Li."
"Yes."
After a while, Peony came over with a box and handed it to Zhu Li.
Princess Miaotong said proudly: "Here is a box of gold ingots, enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, Brother Mo Heng just thought you were fresh a while ago so he played with you, and now that he knows that Mingzhu is good, he will naturally ignore you anymore." However, Princess Ben is not the kind of person who plays with others, and naturally Brother Mo Heng is not either. It's just that I don't want to be jealous, so I'll do it for you and give you some compensation. You take these, let's go tomorrow, the farther you go, the better, and save us from annoying. ”
Zhu Liang looked at this box of gold, "The princess is really a big palm, and the severance pay is so expensive." ”
"You are in the Dijin Kingdom, you are the people of my Dijin Kingdom, and as the princess of the Dijin Kingdom, I naturally have to love my own people." Actually, you're dying anyway, just find someone to follow you, and when you die, get the box of gold back.
"Then thank you for the grace of the princess."
"Okay, this princess is also tired, and tomorrow I have to accompany Brother Mo Heng to visit the mountains and rivers, you can go back." By the way, you don't have to tell Brother Mo Heng when you leave tomorrow, just go directly. ”
"The grass people are retired."
Zhu Liang walked back to Tingyuxuan with the gold, looked at Lingbo Pavilion, and found that Mo Heng, who was supposed to be reading documents in the study at this time, fell asleep early, not at all like Mo Heng in the past. In the past, Mo Heng, no matter how long he accompanied him, would always watch military affairs until late at night, but now he is like a slave who only knows how to accompany Princess Miaotong.
Zhu Liang decided to check Mo Heng's physical condition after a while, he was really not at ease, although the ghost monarch was not sure that Mo Heng was the mortal body of Mo Heng, the god of war, but he must have guessed it, so he would give Princess Miaotong such a poison as soul devouring.
Dead.
Zhu Liang quietly sneaked into Lingbo Pavilion, and gently came to Mo Heng's side, looking at the sleeping Mo Heng, his hand slowly placed on Mo Heng's chest, and a divine power was about to push Zhu Liang's immortal power out, but it was suddenly gone. Zhu Liang didn't notice it, but he thought that his immortal power had not fully recovered, so using his immortal power to interfere with mortal affairs would be blocked. Zhu Liang probed carefully, but he didn't find anything abnormal, so he withdrew his immortal power.
Zhu Liang muttered softly, "Could it be that I am wrong?" Or is it that the Ghost King's poison is so powerful that he can't detect it himself. Or Mo Heng has completely absorbed it, and the Yuan Shen in his body is gone? Thinking of this, he began to be afraid, and hurriedly prepared to use his immortal power to probe Mo Heng's primordial spirit.
But who knows, at this time, Mo Heng turned over......
