Chapter 298: Mandala
Chen Jintong leaned close to Jiuxing's ear and muttered a few words, and Jiuxing nodded hurriedly.
Mingyue Villa is already Chen Jintong's intelligence bureau, and they operate in it with ease, and there are clues in an instant, and when night falls, Jiuxing sends a pot of flowers in.
Sixi'er took away the black cloth wrapped in the flower pot, and Chen Jintong saw that it was a green plant, which looked like elderberry, but the branches were simply raw, and the leaves were fat and large, sparse. On the top of the branches, some flowers in the shape of bronze bells are raised, and the exploding ports rotate to create a thrilling beauty, and the shape of the buds is symmetrical, with a faint sweet smell.
"My lord, this is the mandala you want, this flower still has fruit, and the fruit is also poisonous." Jiuxing introduced it, and carefully took a thorn ball to Chen Jintong, Chen Jintong saw that the ball was round and brown, and she didn't move, "Tell me more specifically." ”
Jiuxing's investigation was clear, and at this moment, the bamboo tube poured beans and generally told the ins and outs of the mandala, Chen Jintong listened with relish, and asked a few words from time to time.
It turns out that this mandala is not something that can be bought if you want to, although there is no monopoly in the market, but the mandala cannot be bought and sold in bulk as a painkiller.
Chen Jintong carefully observed the mandala and the fruit, and then put it away. According to Jiuxing's investigation, the symptoms of poisoning of this mandala are as follows: the person who is poisoned in the early stage will be dizzy and nauseous, and the person will lose his appetite, the person who is poisoned in the middle stage will have a high fever and delirium, and there is no cure in the late stage, and the person will be delirious and babbling nonsense.
Sounds chilling anyway.
On the second day, Bai Luoluo came to play with Chen Jintong, and the two were close friends in the boudoir, and they chatted endlessly. Bai Luoluo invited Chen Jintong to the palace to play, and Chen Jintong suddenly thought of the ethereal fragrance he smelled before.
"Alright, let's go together." Chen Jintong smiled, and the two arrived in the palace in a short time, because there was something on his mind today, Chen Jintong did not decide to play with Bai Luoluo.
"Can you find a way to take me to Fengkun Palace?" Chen Jintong raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Luoluo with a smile.
Bai Luoluo is a thoughtful person, but she is old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and she has always responded to Chen Jintong's needs, she touched the bridge of her nose, revealing a contemplative expression.
Just when Chen Jintong thought that he would be rejected, Bai Luoluo suddenly smiled, "But you can't go empty-handed, Queen Chen likes flowers and plants, let's go to Uncle Huang's side and ask for a pot, that's good." ”
Just do it, Bai Luoluo asked Fusheng for a pot of flowers from the Shanggong Bureau, it was a pot of camellias, to be opened, colorful, colorful.
Bai Luoluo hugged the flower pot, "I have something to say first, then Queen Chen's temperament is not very good, you and I will leave after playing in it for a while, just don't anger Niangniang." ”
It turned out that Bai Luoluo, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, also had times when he was afraid, seeing that Bai Luoluo was so timid, Chen Jintong smiled secretly, "Don't worry, just come when you go." ”
Both of them were worried, but Emperor Chen's consequence was really "the mother of the world." For a genius in the acting department, not only did she sweep the sudden Bai Luoluo and Chen Jintong out of the door, but even greeted her with a smile, holding the camellia and admiring it, "There are countless flowers that this palace has seen in this palace, but there are not many beautiful ones like this pot, in the end, you are filial." ”
"Where did my aunt say, we were already close to each other, and now everyone says that my aunt has a lot of opportunities, and there are countless things in the harem, Luoluo wants to come over every day to accompany my aunt, but I disturbed my aunt Luoluo after all."
Bai Luoluo showed a helpless expression.
Afraid of bothering you?
Empress Chen smiled and said lightly: "It's good that you like to come here at any time, this palace is not the first year to be a queen, there are still some capable people around, and nothing can be solved." Empress Chen looked gentle and obedient, completely overturning the conclusion that "each other is born from the heart".
If people who don't know Empress Chen see that she is so amiable and pleasant to her juniors at this moment, they will almost think that he is a person with a unified heart.
The two smiled at the same time, and Queen Chen also tilted Chen Jintong, although she hated Chen Jintong to the core, but her gentle and charming eyes were full of concern, "Tong'er is also here, and so are you, walking around the court every day and only coming to the palace, as if the palace has offended you." ”
"How come," isn't it acting, you will and I will too, you don't dislike it, I don't like it, "After all, this is a harem, not a former dynasty, and Hitomi is not good to come over to bother you often, besides, Hitomi is an official of the court, let alone live very closely with your aunt." ”
"Hey, look at you, most of the day has passed," Empress Chen's loving eyes squinted at Chen Jintong and Bai Luoluo next to her, "This palace has people arrange for food to come?" ”
Chen Jintong came to investigate the case, so he naturally wanted to extend the time of the meeting, so he nodded again and again, and Bai Luoluo simply understood Chen Jintong's behavior of going to Fengkun Palace as a curiosity, so without waiting for Chen Jintong to propose, Bai Luoluo had already smiled, "Auntie, you are busy with you, don't pay attention to us, let's visit." ”
The two of them were really visiting, almost every place in the Fengkun Palace had to be seen, Chen Jintong had to sniff every place he went, but that kind of faint tranquility was never found, could it be that the frame he saw that day was not the queen's?
Could it be that everything is suspicious of herself, she thought about it for a while, and returned to the flower hall, in the flower hall, Queen Chen was lying on her side, and there was a little girl who wrapped the hammer of golden silk nanmu with brocade and gently knocked on Queen Chen's calf, probably because of the woman's sensitive sixth sense, Queen Chen had slowly opened her sleepy eyes.
Seeing that they arrived, a gentle smile was once again amplified at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were kinder than just now, "The meal is ready, let's eat, it's rare for us girls to get together." ”
Empress Chen arranged for the food to come over, but Chen Jintong didn't dare to eat it, she hadn't cultivated to the point where she could see what dishes were problematic and what dishes were not problematic.
Her eyes followed Queen Chen's hand, and the magnolia-like hand began to move the chopsticks, what she ate, Chen Jintong followed the cat and the tiger.
Before Bai Luoluo entered the palace, he heard about the notorious Empress Chen's "palace fights" back then, and knew that Empress Chen had dealt with countless people with endless means over the years, and the cause of death of some concubines was just a dish.
As for Chen Jintong, she thought more of the Empress Dowager Cixi's methods to deal with Ci'an, so she implied that Bai Luoluo ate the same food as herself.
Bai Luoluo's reaction was far inferior to Chen Jintong's, but he was not a stupid person, he ate carefully, and he was very worried when he ate.
