Chapter 55: The Drugged Turmoil
The years are not lived, the seasons are flowing, and the time for the entrance examination of Tianci College is close at hand.
At this critical moment, even Wei Feiyu, who had always been keen on making trouble, stopped paying attention to Wei Xiyue's actions from time to time, and began to practice with the teacher at ease.
At this time, Wei Xiyue was not as annoyed by the fact that she had arbitrarily given up the qualification for exemption from the examination of Tianci Academy, but on the contrary, Wei Xiyue was very satisfied with this arrangement.
Since making such an arrangement, the Sanfang family has been a lot closer to her, but thinking of her previous life, Sanfang's grass-like temperament, Wei Xiyue only lightly thanked Sanfang for her overtures, but did not respond.
In the capital, the children of the nobles of various prefectures have also lived a lot, and the business of the taverns and restaurants in the capital has also cooled a lot.
The queen mother in the palace considered that the exam was approaching at this time, and Wei Xiyue gave up the qualification for exemption from the exam, so she was worried about Wei Xiyue in her heart, and sent someone to send a lot of treasures and pills to the Wei Mansion. The queen mother's move caused rumors in the palace to continue, and for a while everyone was red at Wei Xiyue.
Because of the relationship between Huo Zeyu and Wei Feiyu, Concubine Lin was very displeased with the Wei family, and when she saw the Queen Mother like this, Concubine Lin was angry. But after thinking about it, since this Wei Xiyue is so hot, I don't know if it can be used by my son?
Considering that everyone in the capital was focused on the exam and had no time to take care of other things, Concubine Lin smiled gloomily, and a plan slowly took shape in her heart.
Speaking of the Wei Mansion, there are constant carriages and horses in front of the door day and day, all of which are treasures sent by the queen mother's servants in the palace. Wei Xiyue saw that the Queen Mother attached so much importance to herself, and sighed in her heart. After thinking about it carefully, Wei Xiyue personally asked the chamberlain, saying that she was very grateful for the kindness of the Queen Mother, and she didn't know if she could thank the Queen Mother in person.
The waiter said: "Miss Wei is serious, our family will definitely show the Queen Mother when we return to the palace, please rest assured Miss Wei." ”
Wei Xiyue glanced at Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan was relieved, slipped out of his sleeve and secretly gave it to him when he sent the waiter out of the house.
After returning to the palace, the chamberlain told the Queen Mother what Wei Xiyue said, and the Queen Mother smiled with relief: "The mourning family really didn't misunderstand Xiyue, she is a good child." ”
It happened that Concubine Lin visited the Queen Mother, and when she heard the Queen Mother's words, she didn't think so, but she still smiled and agreed: "Yes, the concubine is also very kind to Xiyue." ”
Concubine Lin's heart moved, since Wei Xiyue wanted to enter the palace, this coincided with her own plan, and it didn't take any effort to get it, she was happy in her heart, and deepened the smile on the corner of her mouth.
The Queen Mother remembered what Wei Xiyue had invited, and ordered Wei Xiyue to enter the palace tomorrow afternoon. After Concubine Lin learned of the news, she ordered her personal maid to send a message, informing Huo Lingyu that she would definitely enter the palace tomorrow.
When Huo Lingyu heard this, he didn't know what the concubine was planning to do, even though he was confused, he still obediently responded.
The next day, after Wei Xiyue had lunch with her mother and Wei Qinghe, she got into the carriage to enter the palace.
Entering the first palace gate, the attendants around the Queen Mother were already waiting at the guard, and when he saw Wei Xiyue and his party coming, he hurriedly greeted him and respectfully led Wei Xiyue to the Queen Mother.
Entering the Queen Mother's palace, Wei Xiyue looked at the kind face of the Queen Mother on the blue steps, and her admiration suddenly appeared, and she saluted the Queen Mother very regularly.
"The little girl Wei Xiyue has seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an."
The Queen Mother saw that Wei Xiyue's behavior was extremely standardized, and she couldn't find a trace of mistakes, so she was overjoyed, and said again and again: "Good boy, quickly excuse me." Fu instructed the maid beside him: "Come on, don't give Xiyue a seat yet." ”
After Wei Xiyue sat down, the Queen Mother carefully inquired about Wei Xiyue's practice progress, because the Queen Mother had lived in the deep palace for a long time, she didn't know all kinds of rumors about Wei Xiyue's indulgence in pleasure, but she was concerned: "Xiyue, have you used the things sent by the mourning family, if it is not enough, the mourning family still has them here." ”
Looking at the old man's concerned look, Wei Xiyue didn't want to worry him, and only said: "Xiyue does things, the Queen Mother is still not at ease, she is sure." ”
The Queen Mother saw that Wei Xiyue was not too nervous, and even more appreciated, and the two chatted.
Wei Xiyue saw that the maids beside the Queen Mother gave her a look, so she said goodbye: "It's not too early, Xiyue won't disturb the Queen Mother's lunch break, and Xiyue will retire first." ”
The Queen Mother was reluctant to hold Wei Xiyue's slender hand, and asked Wei Xiyue to enter the palace in person after the exam to report the good news to herself.
Wei Xiyue retired from the Empress Dowager's palace, and was strolling along the long palace road, when suddenly a waiter appeared, Wei Xiyue fixed her eyes and took a look, it turned out to be the person who could be used by the concubine's side, she was vigilant, and she didn't say much, only coldly looked at what the waiter wanted.
The chamberlain had a flattering smile on his face, and said earnestly: "Miss Wei, is this the end of the visit to the Queen Mother?" Concubine Niangniang is invited. ”
Wei Xiyue sneered in her heart, Concubine Lin was sneered at since the last time she gave a gift, this is not dead yet. She pressed her chin coldly and motioned for the chamberlain to lead the way.
Outside the Concubine Palace, Wei Xiyue was about to enter with Xiaohuan, but the attendant stepped forward and stopped Xiaohuan.
"Miss Xiaohuan has also worked hard, why don't you come down and drink tea, there are maids waiting for the guards in the palace."
Xiaohuan was about to open his mouth to argue, but Wei Xiyue made a look, Xiaohuan was unwilling to keep his mouth shut and left with the waiter.
Wei Xiyue said in her heart: "First led me here, and then sent away the people around me, so that I was left alone, I want to see what this concubine is going to do." ”
Wei Xiyue slowly came to the hall, Concubine Lin was chatting with the maid, seeing Wei Xiyue coming in, Concubine Lin glanced at the maid, then stepped forward to hold Wei Xiyue's hand, and said, "Xiyue is here, take a look." ”
Wei Xiyue didn't know how to put aside Concubine Lin's hand, and Yu Guang saw the maid walking into the side hall just now, I don't know what Concubine Lin planned in the side hall, Wei Xiyue was dealing with Concubine Lin while thinking about Concubine Lin's plan.
Concubine Lin saw that Wei Xiyue was absent-minded, and she secretly hated in her heart, but she was just the daughter of a border general, how could such a vulgar person be appreciated by the Queen Mother, looking at her arrogant appearance now, she dared to wander in front of herself.
Concubine Lin and Wei Xiyue were at home, delusionally trying to find out the situation in the Wei Mansion. Wei Xiyue knew what Concubine Lin was planning, so she secretly guided the topic, making Concubine Lin's hatred for Wei Mansion even worse, so as to get rid of Concubine Lin's intentions towards her.
As Wei Xiyue expected, Concubine Lin heard what Wei Xiyue said, and looked down on Wei Feiyu and the others even more in her heart, but thinking of the Queen Mother's attention to Wei Xiyue, she had to endure the pain and carry out her plan.
After seeing the hollow carved yellow rosewood screen, the maid's figure flickered, and Concubine Lin knew that the side hall had been properly arranged, and Huo Zeyu had also been meditating in the side hall, so she excused herself to have something to do and ordered Wei Xiyue to wait in the side hall.
After Wei Xiyue entered the side hall, her nose was surrounded by a strange fragrance, and she knew that something was wrong, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and retreated again and again, but found that the door of the side hall had been closed. Wei Xiyue couldn't help but be a little flustered, she smiled helplessly, and said in her heart that she was still careless for a while, and fell in love with Concubine Lin's way.
It's too late to say that it was too late, and a man's figure rushed towards Wei Xiyue, who was about to dodge, but his steps were vain and he couldn't escape.
The man hugged Wei Xiyue and muttered, "Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu..."
As time passed, Wei Xiyue inhaled more and more strange fragrances, she snorted, her face flushed, her limbs were weak and weak, and she let Huo Zeyu act arbitrarily to herself, and her body even catered to him intentionally or unintentionally.
The two were entangled, stumbling towards the inner room, and stumbling Wei Xiyue's back stumbled on the corners of the square, the pain made Wei Xiyue's chaotic consciousness a little sober, realizing her current situation, Wei Xiyue's heart sank, and she tried her best to break free from Huo Zeyu's clamps.
Wei Xiyue's arm struggled wildly, and inadvertently touched the saber on Huo Zeyu's waist, she pulled it out forcefully, and slashed it on her arm, and the sharp pain for a moment made Wei Xiyue quickly sober up.
She touched the fruit pot placed on the table behind her, and forcefully buckled the fruit plate on Huo Zeyu's head, Huo Zeyu's already chaotic brain was even more confused, stunned, and grasped this moment stunned, Wei Xiyue broke free from Huo Zeyu's embrace in one fell swoop, pushed open the door of the hall, and stumbled towards the outside of the hall.
Huo Lingxiao heard that Concubine Lin had summoned Wei Xiyue into the palace, and knew that Concubine Lin was a person, and he was sure that she must be planning something, so he couldn't help but worry about Wei Xiyue, and hurried to the outside of Concubine Lin's palace, and was about to go to deal with Concubine Lin, but saw a woman running in a panic.
Huo Lingxiao took a closer look, the woman turned out to be Wei Xiyue, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Xiyue, he saw that Wei Xiyue's face was super flushed, and he couldn't stop wheezing, so he knew everything, that Concubine Lin had done it so far.
Wei Xiyue saw the shadow in front of her, and couldn't help despairing, am I bound to explain here today.
"Xiyue, don't be afraid, it's me." Seeing Wei Xiyue struggling, Huo Lingxiao spoke to appease.
Wei Xiyue heard a familiar voice, and her tense heartstrings finally loosened, she finally couldn't support it, her eyes went dark, and she passed out in Huo Lingxiao's arms.
Huo Lingxiao hugged Wei Xiyue, took a little step, volleyed away, and swept towards the place where he lived in the palace.
The concubine was sitting in the bedroom, thinking about the possible scene in the side hall - Wei Xiyue had to obey Huo Lingyu for the reputation of her daughter's family, and since then Huo Lingyu has received the support of the Queen Mother, and her grasp of winning the heir has increased. Thinking of this, Concubine Lin couldn't help laughing.
"It's not good!"
A mournful female voice interrupted Concubine Lin's thoughts, she frowned involuntarily, and asked lightly, "Why are you so flustered?" ”
"Niangniang, the slave maid just went to the side hall to visit the situation, only to see the door of the side hall wide open, the slave and maid stepped forward to take a look, the hall was in chaos, and the four princes fainted on the ground."
"What?" When Concubine Lin heard this, she was so angry that she raised her eyebrows, glared at the maid fiercely, got up angrily, and walked straight to the side hall.
Huo Lingxiao used enough internal strength, and soon arrived at the residence, he settled Wei Xiyue on the couch in the study, and after briefly treating Wei Xiyue's wounds, he waved his hand and beckoned his subordinates.
"You go and prepare a carriage, and say that I am not well and cannot see the wind." His men responded, turned and walked out.
"Wait." Huo Lingxiao stopped his subordinates and ordered again, "Order another doctor in the house." ”
After his subordinates left, Huo Lingxiao stood on the rosewood bookshelf with his hands back, and couldn't bear to think about how Wei Xiyue escaped.
