Chapter 171: The Hidden Portrait
Zhao Yazhi staggered and ran towards the dark corner, hiding behind the pillar.
"What was that sound just now?" Jiang Yin looked at Hua Yan suspiciously.
Hua Yan immediately ran out, looked around and didn't see anyone, only a flower stand fell to the ground.
"I didn't see anyone, maybe the cat hit the shelf."
Although Hua Yan had doubts in her heart, she didn't see anyone, so she could only comfort herself like this.
"Cats?"
Jiang Yin placed the portrait on the table, opened the door and poked his head out, there was no sound around, so quiet that even the sound of his own breathing could be heard.
"Maybe we're overthinking."
Jiang Yin closed the door, and the echo of the door closing wafted in the quiet air.
"Hoo ......"
Zhao Yazhi saw the two of them go in, and let out a long breath outside, just now fortunately she was clever and hidden, otherwise she couldn't explain it.
She tiptoed to Jiang Yin's door.
"What the hell are these two doing in there? Isn't there a secret that you can't see? ”
Zhao Yazhi muttered quietly, and she moved gently in front of the door, looking for a suitable observation position.
"Hua Yan, this portrait is always a scourge to keep, what should I do?"
Hua Yan looked at Jiang Yin, she seemed reluctant to this painting, and that portrait also had a certain meaning.
"If you don't want to destroy it, you can only hide it."
"Hide, where should I hide? I don't know how many people are staring at this place in the dark, maybe there is eyeliner near us. ”
Jiang Yin was ruthless, picked up the portrait, and took two steps in the direction of the candle.
She took the lampshade away, and saw the flickering flames beating, but her heart was full of taste.
Jiang Guo has long ceased to exist, and the imperial brother is not by her side, but this painting has inadvertently become her only thought in Zhou State.
She was holding a corner of the portrait and was about to put it on the flame.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which frightened Jiang Yin to roll up the portrait and stuff it into his sleeve.
"Who is it?"
Jiang Yin looked at the shadow at the door, and didn't dare to go out, the portrait was still stuffed in his sleeve.
The figure in the doorway swayed, revealing its form.
"Miss Yin, it's me, Zhao Yazhi!"
Jiang Yin glanced at Hua Yan, then she moved to the table and quietly put the portrait in her sleeve.
Hua Yan walked over and opened the door, "Miss Zhao, please come in." ”
He leaned sideways, gave Zhao Yazhi a place, and looked out of the door, and only closed the door after confirming that there was no one behind him.
"Miss Zhao, I don't know what is the important thing to come here today?"
Jiang Yin knew that Zhao Yazhi was around Xie Cheng all day long, and anyone with a discerning eye could see what she thought of Xie Cheng.
When she came here today, there must have been something.
"Miss Yin, I'm really embarrassed to come to you at this time, I just saw that the light in your room was on, and I had nothing to do, so I thought I would come to you to sit down."
Zhao Yazhi looked at Jiang Yin with a smile on her face.
Jiang Yin hid the portrait in her sleeve inside, and she moved the stool out.
"Miss Zhao, please take a seat."
Zhao Yazhi's eyes kept glancing at Jiang Yin's body, and she didn't see where Jiang Yin hid the thing in her hand.
"Miss Yin, sit down too."
Jiang Yin sat down slowly, put his hand casually, and held his sleeve with the other hand, so that Zhao Yazhi could not see the clue.
"Yin girl, this is my new researched medicine, it is refined from a variety of medicinal materials, you are all here today, I will show you."
Zhao Yazhi took out a jade-colored porcelain bottle from her sleeve, she slowly opened the lid, only to see that a brown-black pill was revealed inside, and there was a faint fragrance.
"This medicine can not only stop bleeding and remove stasis, but also hang people's lives when there is still one breath left, in short, it is a health pill."
Zhao Yazhi looked proud, eager to show her finished product.
Jiang Yin picked it up and looked at it, put it to his nose and sniffed it.
"Miss Zhao, then you have to put this medicine away, it is so precious, it must be used where it should be used."
"Yin girl, I just want you to try one this time, this is a great tonic medicine, and it has a great healing effect on your last injury."
Zhao Yazhi put the small medicine bottle in Jiang Yin's hand, wanting her to eat one.
Jiang Yin glanced at Zhao Yazhi, she didn't know what kind of moth came out, since this medicine had just been refined, could it be difficult to let herself be a guinea pig? If there are side effects, you can't pay for yourself.
"Miss Zhao, I appreciate your kindness. It's just that the injury from the last time has already healed, and if you take this medicine again, I'm afraid that this precious medicine will be wasted. ”
Jiang Yin's face changed, but the thoughts in her heart were different, and various pictures of harem competition for favor and poisoning appeared in her mind, and her body trembled, and she had many goosebumps.
"Miss Yin, medicine is originally used to treat diseases and save people, if you don't use it, how can you reflect its value?"
Zhao Yazhi talked to Jiang Yin for a long time, and wanted her to give it a try, but Jiang Yin was cautious and refused to eat.
She turned her head to look at Hua Yan who was standing there, and had a plan.
She got up from the stool, stood beside Hua Yan, looked around Hua Yan several times, and didn't find what she had just hidden.
Suddenly, she quietly pulled out an extremely thin silver needle from her sleeve and hesitated for a moment.
As soon as she raised her hand, she brushed her hair casually, and pierced the silver needle into Hua Yan's arm, and quickly collected the needle, because the tip of the needle was too thin, Hua Yan didn't notice it.
"I ......"
Hua Yan suddenly felt dizzy, just for that moment, before he could speak, he lost consciousness and fell straight back.
"Huayan, Huayan, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yin saw the scene of Hua Yan's coma at that moment, and immediately panicked, she didn't know what happened to Hua Yan and why she suddenly collapsed.
She hurriedly helped Hua Yan up and let him lie in her arms.
Jiang Yin kept shaking Hua Yan's shoulder, but he didn't react.
Suddenly, the portrait inside the sleeve fell outward, and the scroll spread out to reveal a corner of the portrait.
There were a few strands of black hair on it, and a corner of the blue shirt, and it seemed that the portrait was a woman.
Zhao Yazhi wanted to see what the portrait was, but it was blocked by Jiang Yin's sleeve, and she had many doubts in her heart, but she could only give up.
"Miss Zhao, come and see, what's wrong with Hua Yan, why is it all of a sudden?"
Jiang Yin was in a hurry, there were only three of them in the room, and Zhao Yazhi happened to know medical skills, so she pinned all her hopes on Zhao Yazhi.
"Miss Yin, don't worry."
Zhao Yazhi checked Hua Yan's pulse, and then took out the jade-colored vial just now and put the pill into Hua Yan's mouth.
