Chapter 177: Ye Lingxi fell into the water again
The royal family of Jun'an Kingdom pays attention to the king's meal, and Ye Lingxi understands it.
She deliberately invited Xiao Yumo to stay and dine together, because she wanted to see how far Yu Wenyin's tolerance of her could go.
It turns out that Yu Wenyin did not disappoint Ye Lingxi.
"Thank you, husband, hehe!"
"Thank you for your grace!"
Xiao Yumo made a big gift in a proper manner, and it could be seen that he really felt very flattered.
The eunuchs brought dishes one after another.
"Wait a minute! I'll check it before I eat it! ”
Ye Lingxi stopped Yu Wenyin's hand raising the chopsticks, and carefully checked each dish, especially the plate of stir-fried pork with green vegetables, to make sure that at least there was no poison that she could identify, before announcing that it could be used.
"Why are you so cautious today?"
Yu Wenyin picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat in the stir-fried pork with green vegetables, and was about to put it in his mouth when he happened to hear Ye Lingxi's answer.
"Because I'm afraid of poison."
……
"There is a lancet in the stir-fried meat with green vegetables obtained from Xingliu Palace, and a palace maid in my palace stole my leftovers and is already dead."
Yu Wenyin's action of eating meat paused, and suddenly felt that the meat in his hand seemed to be unfragrant......
"What's going on?"
Yu Wenyin put down his chopsticks and looked at Ye Lingxi in surprise. There is a lancet in the palace?!
"It's the dish that Xingchen helped me bring today, but fortunately I didn't eat it. Otherwise, I might have been poisoned! That palace maid was really unlucky, and died because of gluttony. ”
"So I didn't dare to eat in Xingliu Palace, I came here to eat here, I think, the person who poisoned you shouldn't dare to poison you directly!"
Although Ye Lingxi said it lightly, this matter is really not small, and Yu Wenyin immediately ordered his eunuchs to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Ye Lingxi, who was busy eating, didn't notice that Xiao Yumo and Yu Wenyin exchanged a look in private.
The Thousand Poisons Gate also needs to be thoroughly investigated. The Lancet Poison is a product of the Thousand Poison Gate, and there has been no record of it being sold for a while.
Since the last major ambush, the Thousand Poison Gate has stopped all poison trading, but unexpectedly, the poison is still lost. This shows that there are unruly people in the Thousand Poison Gate.
Yu Wenyin is strict with his subordinates, and those who disobey orders can only die.
"Xi'er doesn't have to worry, just come here to eat in the future. Don't worry, those who poison me won't dare to send poison to me. ”
When Yu Wenyin said this, the royal family was full of momentum, as if he really had the brilliance of the Son of Heaven.
"Uh-huh!"
Ye Lingxi nodded happily, there is a place to eat, and someone to help her find the murderer, today's wave, it's not a loss!
"Yu Mo, this is delicious, you can taste it!"
Ye Lingxi picked up a piece of balls with a pair of chopsticks and put it in Xiao Yumo's bowl.
Xiao Yumo secretly glanced at Yu Wenyin and found that Yu Wenyin was eating by himself, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.
So, Xiao Yumo silently ate the balls that Ye Lingxi gave him. It's delicious!
This meal, I'm afraid only Ye Lingxi really ate deliciously. Xiao Yumo was nervous throughout the whole process, wanting to care about Ye Lingxi's scalded leg, but he didn't dare to say more.
As for Yu Wenyin, it was a sour taste to eat any dish, so he punished the imperial chef in the imperial dining room for putting too much vinegar in cooking!
Yu Wenyin acted resolutely, and within two days, the ghost in the kitchen was caught, and sure enough, it was the palace maid who was responsible for preparing the tableware, she smeared the poison on the dinner plate in advance, and the fried meat with green vegetables happened to be served on the poisonous dinner plate.
As for the real culprit behind the scenes, there is no clue.
The palace maid's mouth was very hard, and she bit to death and didn't open her mouth until she was tortured to death until she was tortured to death, and she didn't spit out half a word.
Ye Lingxi later looked at those torture methods to extract confessions, just looking at them was already outrageous, I really don't know how deep the master-servant friendship that palace maid has with the real murderer, and she can bear so much torture alive.
Investigation into the kitchen revealed that the maid was often a loner, and no information was revealed that she had been in contact with anyone in the harem. Nothing was found in the palace maid's background check.
Therefore, with the death of the palace maid, the poisoning case has become an unsolved case, and the real culprit behind the scenes can no longer be found.
Ye Lingxi is no longer entangled in this matter, even if she can't find it, she still has more important things to investigate, and she will not affect the overall situation because of this little episode.
And the person who wants to harm Ye Lingxi in the dark is really a headache. Ye Lingxi knows martial arts, and there is no chance of winning a frontal fight with her; Ye Lingxi knew how to poison, and secretly poisoned her and failed.
It seems that Ye Lingxi is really invulnerable and very difficult to deal with.
However, there are always weaknesses in all human beings.
Ye Lingxi's weakness is that she is afraid of water.
In modern times, Ye Lingxi's swimming skills were mediocre and half-, and after she died of drowning, she developed an instinctive fear of water.
When he participated in the poetry meeting in the capital of Jun'an Kingdom, he was framed and fell into the water, which deepened Ye Lingxi's fear of water.
Ye Lingxi's weakness, although few people know it, however, there is an enemy who happens to know it.
This person is Cheng Baguio.
Cheng Biyao believes that if Ye Lingxi hadn't been rescued in time last time, it would have been very likely that he would have drowned in the moat.
Being aware of one's weakness by the enemy is equivalent to a hedgehog exposing its soft belly to the enemy, and it is destined to be bruised all over the body.
Danger always happens inadvertently and is difficult to prevent.
Although Ye Lingxi had already raised twelve points of vigilance, he still fell for the enemy's move.
There is a small river in the palace of Jun'an Kingdom, and there is a small bridge on the small river for people to pass through, which has the meaning of "small bridge and flowing water", and the scenery is very pleasant.
The river is not really a river, but a man-made stagnant water, purely for decorative purposes.
It stands to reason that this kind of creek is not too deep. Ye Lingxi hadn't carefully observed the river, and subconsciously thought that it was no deeper than her neck at most.
On this day, Ye Lingxi, as in the past, wandered around the palace with the stars and walked to this small river.
The small bridge over the river had a guardrail, which was originally very safe, and Ye Lingxi walked normally without any defense.
Suddenly, a hidden weapon shot from a distance, shooting straight at Ye Lingxi's head.
Ye Lingxi hurriedly dodged, this hidden weapon, whether in terms of strength or angle, was at an average level. This still doesn't pose much of a threat to her.
At the moment when Ye Lingxi successfully dodged the first hidden weapon, and at the same time felt a heart of contempt for the enemy, another hidden weapon was shot out from the other direction.
This second hidden weapon is probably the enemy's real move.
Fast, ruthless, accurate!
In order to avoid this second hidden weapon, Ye Lingxi could only take a step backwards, and his waist hit the guardrail of the small bridge.
Somehow, the guardrail of the small bridge was so poor that it broke with a slight hit.
As a result, Ye Lingxi lost the balance of his body and fell straight into the river.
It was already late autumn in Jun Anguo, and the river was very cold, and Ye Lingxi felt cramps in his legs the moment he entered the water.
The worst thing is that this seemingly shallow river water is bottomless, Ye Lingxi fluttered a few times, but still didn't touch the bottom.
At this time, Ye Lingxi finally panicked......
The other party obviously came prepared, mastered her weaknesses, knew the depth of the river, and most likely did something to the guardrail.
As his body fell deeper and deeper, Ye Lingxi's heart also fell deeper and deeper.
How is it water again...... I'm really afraid of what......
What happened was only a short moment, and before the stars on the shore could react, Ye Lingxi had already fallen into the water.
The location of this small river is relatively remote, I don't know if it was deliberately arranged, and there was no trace of any people around.
Xingchen didn't even think about it, and planned to jump down to save Ye Lingxi.
It was too late, it was fast, and the enemy in the shadows obviously knew that Xingchen was an obstacle, so after successfully forcing Ye Lingxi back into the water, the next hidden weapon was immediately shot at Xingchen.
Xingchen didn't know martial arts, but instinctively dodged, but was shot in the shoulder by a hidden weapon.
At the same time, Xingchen's figure immediately jumped into the water. The hidden weapon in the distance could no longer be used, so he had to evacuate the scene.
Although Xingchen is good at water, his movement has been greatly affected due to a shoulder injury.
Ye Lingxi desperately recalled the swimming skills she had learned in modern times, and at such times, any basic movement could have saved her life.
However, the more panicked he was, the more unlucky he was, Ye Lingxi suddenly felt that something seemed to be tightly grasped at his ankle, making it impossible for his body to rise.
Ye Lingxi took a closer look, it turned out to be aquatic plants!
The chaotic aquatic plants were all over the bottom of the river, and at this time, they were twisting and twisting around one of Ye Lingxi's ankles, unable to break free.
Finished...... This time it's really over......
Just when Ye Lingxi was about to accept his fate and accept death, Xingchen's magnified face appeared in front of Ye Lingxi.
Xingchen also noticed the aquatic plants on Ye Lingxi's ankles, and without saying a word, she dived to Ye Lingxi's ankles to help her clean up the aquatic weeds.
Ye Lingxi also noticed the wound on Xingchen's shoulder, at this time, the wound was even glowing black, it was obvious that the hidden weapon was poisonous!
Ye Lingxi couldn't help but gasp, Xingchen's condition was very critical, if she was eroded by the toxin and fell unconscious in this water, then she would really have no power to return to the sky!
So, Ye Lingxi stretched out his other free foot, kicked Xingchen, and gestured to Xingchen to go quickly, swim back to the shore, and leave her alone.
Xingchen ignored Ye Lingxi's repatriation, and insisted on cleaning up the aquatic weeds wrapped around his ankles for Ye Lingxi.
Let's go...... It's too dangerous...... If you don't leave, it's too late......
Ye Lingxi was so anxious.
After getting along with Xingchen for so long, Ye Lingxi has long had a strong friendship with Xingchen.
No matter who Xingchen was, Ye Lingxi didn't want Xingchen to die because of her.
