Chapter 128: Thrilling Escape
Wen Xian'an turned his head, the ladies who were still enjoying the flowers just now were gone, calculated, the time was close to noon, nodded, got up with the help of the light spirit, and walked into the hall under the guidance of the maid.
The positions in the banquet are arranged according to their status, she is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the position is naturally the first on Gu Lingchun's left, facing everyone's sight, Wen Xian'an walked quickly to her seat, and her embarrassed old face was red.
Sitting opposite her were Wen Xiaoxiao and Wen Qingyue, as well as Gu Changle, the daughter of Master Wen, seeing the two of them, staring at the delicacies on the table, Wen Xian'an instantly lost her appetite, and she didn't even have the desire to pick up chopsticks.
Sitting on the stage was Gu Lingchun, and Mama Li standing beside her, according to the usual etiquette in the past, everyone first greeted each other, and then Gu Lingchun briefly told the banquet, Wen Xian'an dug out his ears, looking absent-minded, obviously didn't listen much.
According to Gu Lingchun's temperament, she was able to enter the hall safely, and she felt that she was lucky to be in three lives, but she always felt that she was not so lucky.
After studying medicine, it is observed that the dishes in front of the ladies are all on their own, but she has been probing for a long time, and she is very sure that the dishes in front of her are very safe, even so, she refuses to put down the chopsticks, as the saying goes, just in case.
"Miss Wen has been staring at the dishes but not eating them, but it is not appetizing."
Wen Xian'an suddenly came back to her senses, only to find that everyone's eyes were focused on her, as well as Gu Lingchun, who was sitting on the stage and asking loudly.
"No, it's good."
Gu Lingchun smiled, clapped his hands, and walked into several palace maids from outside the main hall, each holding a tray in their hands, and in the crystal clear container, there was light purple water, and a faint smell of wine could be smelled.
"This is the best wine made, please try it for Miss Wei today."
Wen Xian'an was standing in front of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, in the gap between her pouring wine, Wen Xian'an noticed that her eyes didn't dare to stay in one place, the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and her eyes drifted to Mama Li from time to time, as if she was a little panicked.
Wen Xian'an lowered her eyes, the silver-white wine glass revealed a faint aroma of wine, and the wine was clear, but just now, the maid's actions, she always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the wine in front of her, and before she could think about it, she heard Gu Lingchun's voice from the high platform.
"Miss Wen, this princess toasts you."
Following the prestige, I saw her holding her wine glass high, looking in her direction, and a smile flashed on the corner of her mouth.
Wen Xian'an smiled, and quietly picked up the wine glass from the table, the heavy touch made her heart shock, Gu Lingchun intended to toast, doesn't it show that there is a problem in this wine! It's just that after all, there is a huge disparity in status, and she is not easy to speak out, tearing her face, putting the wine glass close to the corner of her mouth, a smell of spices that seems to be absent came, although it is very light, but she Wen Xian'an is also dealing with medicinal herbs, and the tip of her nose sniffed gently.
Shi Xiangsan! Her pupils shrank suddenly, Wen Xian'an tightened her sleeves, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled, if she was really soft-hearted, she looked down on Gu Lingchun, and now that she thinks about it, she is really a vicious person.
Shi Xiangsan, as the name suggests, is also known as the life-killing incense, although the name is ordinary, but the toxicity is not the general poison can be compared, is to extract a plant in the deep mountains, from the rhizome of food to extract a green juice, this juice itself is not very toxic, not to mention the harmful name, but if this juice is mixed with its other poison Qianxiang leaf, the two poisonous systems collide, of which the senfania leaf is very toxic, will not be toxic juice for its own use, so as to refine a highly toxic juice, in the juice every day to feed the poisonous scorpion, It only takes a week for the toxicity to become more intense, and after a week, the poisonous scorpion is killed, the white body fluid is taken out, and after precipitation and purification, it reaches the realm of colorless and odorless, and finally becomes Shi Xiangsan.
Gu Lingchun took the lead in drying the wine in the glass, staring at Wen Xian'an with a straight look in his eyes, smiling wantonly, and then said: "Miss Wen, this princess will do it first as a respect, please!" ”
Wen Xian'an smiled softly, stroked his sleeves and drank the wine, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, it is indeed good wine." ”
Seeing that Wen Xian'an, who had drunk the wine, not only did not die of poisoning, but also looked safe and sound, Gu Lingchun looked stunned, looked at Mama Li next to her, her face was very displeased, she smiled hypocritically, stared at the dishes in front of her, and lost her appetite.
Mama Li was also surprised, she found poison, but it was extremely poisonous, she obviously watched her drink the wine in the cup in front of her, how could it be okay?
Hmph, of course they didn't know that after Xu Nianchun's words last time, they knew that it was a Hongmen banquet, but they had to come, so they took an antidote that could cure all poisons before coming, otherwise today, she would have died on this Lingchun Palace.
"After listening to Miss Wen's proficiency in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't know if I can enjoy a face today and show it to everyone."
Although the plan failed, she was still unwilling, Gu Lingchun looked at Wen Xian'an in the audience, and spoke up again.
Wen Xian'an smiled, gently stood up from his seat, bent his knees slightly, and said, "Of course, it's just that I'm in a hurry, and Xian'an didn't prepare a portable instrument. ”
Before the words fell, I only heard Gu Lingchun clapping his palms, and the two maidservants carried a guzheng up to the main hall, put the guzheng in the center, and slowly left, Gu Lingchun pointed to the guzheng and said: "Even if you are in the boudoir of the deep palace, you have heard of Miss Wen's reputation, and you have long wanted to see it, so I have made preparations." ”
Looking at the guzheng placed in the center, Wen Xian'an twitched the corner of his mouth, and his head was full of black lines, this is called being prepared? This is clearly biting her to death and not letting go!
The words are all on this, if she refuses again, it seems that she Wen Xian'an can't say anything, strokes her sleeves, and said: "Since this is the case, then Xian'an is better to be respectful than to obey." ”
was about to leave, a leg suddenly stretched out from the corner of the table on the side, wanting to trip her, Wen Xian'an saw it in her eyes, smiled, her face was silent, and she stepped on her leg, as if she was angry, and ravaged her fiercely.
"Ahh ”
Liu Yu, the daughter of Liu Bu's waiter, likes to stay in the boudoir on weekdays, doesn't like to go out, looks like a small jasper, with tears in her eyes at this time, and a look of grievance.
Tsk, she didn't have much contact with this Liu Yu on weekdays, and she didn't remember any fights, it seems that she doesn't like her young lady, there are not many of them, Wen Xian'an seized the opportunity and said preemptively: "Presumably Sister Liu Yu didn't deliberately scream, you said yes, Sister Liu Yu." ”
