Chapter 28: Poisoning on Chinese New Year's Eve

King Qiong pinched her cheek with his hand, and pretended to be angry and said, "The princess went to rob other people's faces, and also released birds to ask for people." What are you guilty of? ”

"Actually, I didn't ask Xiao Hei to bite him, Xiao Hei pecked someone's head as soon as he lost his temper, I reminded him, it's just my crow's mouth," Qiu Xun said aggrievedly.

"That princess Qiuxun has no brains, and she let the prefect be locked up for a long time for a face," the eldest princess handed the little princess to the nurse and motioned for her to leave with the little princess, "But I don't know why she is so afraid of crowds." ”

"That's easy, it's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days." The father and emperor will feast all the concubines and princesses every Chinese New Year's Eve, in the past, King Qiong was stationed in northern Xinjiang, did not participate, this year he married a new princess, the father and the emperor will definitely let him bring a new princess, then see how she is? The eldest prince said unhurriedly.

"I heard that Princess Qiuxun used to be as beautiful as a flower, but it was because of poisoning that she became like this," the eldest princess continued, "and said that she had fallen into a lot of diseases after being poisoned. ”

"Nonsense, that kind of poison will only make people ugly, and there won't be any strange diseases," the eldest prince said in a very affirmative tone.

"It is said that the poison in the second princess was very strange back then, no one can find out what kind of poison is made by the primer, how do you know that this poison will not fall into a strange disease." The eldest princess refuted the eldest prince.

"Oh, I'm just," the eldest prince said with some hesitation, "I just remind you not to underestimate the second princess too much, she can behave like this when she gets married, and make her father and queen happy, which shows that she is not an idle person." ”

There are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, Qiu Xun is a little homesick, a few days ago the mother brought her a few Dali dresses, she took them out, and tried them on with the purple butterfly spring warm play.

"Xun'er, there are still a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, this day the emperor is going to feast all the concubines, the princess, you are the new concubine, you will definitely go." King Qiong looked at Qiu Xun worriedly. "There will be a lot of people that day, can you go?"

"The rules of the palace, you must go, I can't let them find out your handle."

Qiu Xun thought to himself, when the time comes, no one will notice me anyway, so I just shut up and don't speak.

King Qiong was moved, "My Xun'er is becoming more and more understanding. ”

The year is coming, early in the morning. Qiu Xun tossed the clothes he wore to the palace for Chinese New Year's Eve, and the color was faint for fear of not raising face for King Qiong, and he was heavy and afraid of attracting eyes.

Chun Nuan combed her hair. I helped her paint a light makeup and everything was ready.

The palace is particularly lively today, and the concubines in all the palaces are here, big and small princes and princesses, all dressed gorgeously and with jewels.

Qiu Xun couldn't open his eyes when he was flashed.

Qiu Xun knows that in this palace, you look at me, I look at you, as long as there is a slight mistake, others will use it as a handle, and King Qiong will be affected. She must be careful not to cause trouble for King Joan.

She sat upright beside King Joan, smiling and closing her lips.

King Qiong only knew that Qiu Xun was prone to headaches when there were many people, but he didn't know what the reason was, so he looked at her from time to time, and when he saw Qiu Xun's expression, King Qiong couldn't help laughing.

"Aifei, you can relax." King Qiong reminded Qiu Xun, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor will not be too strict. ”

"Okay, lord." Qiu Xun let out a long breath, moved his cheek, and served it again.

At the beginning of the banquet, the princes and grandsons began to take turns to give the emperor a big gift according to their generations.

The eldest prince's family bowed and retreated, and it was King Qiong and Qiu Xun's turn. The eldest prince tugged at King Qiong's sleeve, "Brother Huang, in a while, we will get drunk before resting." ”

King Joan smiled and nodded.

I was finally able to eat freely.

The eldest princess walked over with a wine glass, "Sister, sister toasts you with a glass of wine." ”

Qiu Xun hurriedly picked up his wine glass in return.

"Sister, Purple Butterfly is still diligent?" The eyes of the eldest princess observed Qiu Xun's expression.

"Well, very capable, thank you sister for sending me such a capable girl." Qiu Xunxin said, he is really capable, and he took me to the official mansion on the first day.

Qiu Xun was a little annoyed by the eldest princess, and wanted to avoid her, so he got up and wanted to find King Qiong, who was toasting.

Suddenly, I felt a blurry picture in my mind, and a hand sprinkled something in King Joan's wine glass. And this action is so familiar, it seems that I have had the same dream before.

Qiu Xun walked quickly to King Qiong's side, "King Qiong," Qiu Xun shouted suddenly.

King Qiong put down the glass of wine he had just picked up, turned around and asked, "Aifei, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, I just wanted to toast with you." Qiu Xun picked up the glass of wine that King Qiong had put down, and spilled his hand on the ground.

I saw that the floor tile where the wine had been spilled on the ground was bursting with white bubbles, as if water was boiling. Whirring sound. There were immediately two black deep pits on the floor tiles, just like those on Qiu Xun's forehead, and everyone present was stunned. Suddenly, the lively scene was as quiet as death.

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, and then ordered the palace maid to clean up.

"Wait," King Qiong stopped the four princes, "It's better to identify what it is before cleaning it up." ”

"Second Emperor Brother. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the ladies and ladies of each palace are here, don't sweep everyone's excitement and add to the blockage of the father and the queen mother," the fourth prince said.

"But this is obviously poisoned," King Joan insisted on not letting it be cleaned up.

"Brother Emperor, this is the Imperial Palace, you have made enemies outside, you can't spoil the mood of the Emperor and everyone," the Fourth Prince said in a low voice, "You also know that Father and Emperor don't like to spoil his mood on Chinese New Year's Eve the most, even if someone harms you, if you can't find out who poisoned you, Father and Emperor can't spare you." ”

What the fourth prince said is not unreasonable. The current emperor is a faint king, as long as he is unhappy. There is never any indiscriminate use, and they all play fifty boards each.

Qiu Xun was also afraid that there would be some chaotic scene that would be unfavorable to King Qiong, so he pulled King Qiong, "Lord Wang, what the fourth emperor brother said makes sense, nothing happened anyway, just treat it as if nothing happened to have a good year." ”

The emperor, who was already drunk, opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, father," the fourth prince glanced at King Qiong, "the second emperor brother drank too much, and the wine glass spilled." ”

King Joan could only give up.

It was already the early morning of the first day of the new year, and after everyone had worshiped the early years, they dispersed.

King Qiong and Qiu Xun returned to King Qiong's mansion. Qiu Xun had a little headache and said that he was sleepy. quietly asked Chun Nuan to bring the medicine sent by the young master, ate a few pills and fell asleep.

But King Joan did not sleep all night.

Qiu Xun opened her eyes and felt much better, in fact, she had a terrible headache last night, but she was afraid that King Qiong would be suspicious and ask, so she hurriedly fell asleep. Because she couldn't tell King Joan clearly that she came from modern times, had a golden finger, and could predict the future, and her headache was not because of the strange disease left by poisoning, but because of the side effects of predicting the future.

Chun Nuan on the side saw Qiu Xun wake up, so she stepped forward to serve her to wash, "Miss, does your head still hurt?" ”

"Much better." Qiu Xun replied.

"Young Master Shi came, talking to Prince Qiong in the front hall, and Purple Butterfly was waiting there." Chun Nuan combed Qiu Xun's hair.

"Oh, I'm going to say hello." Akihiro stood up and went to the antechamber.

Qiu Xun saw Shi Ange and sat down on the side.

"Why don't you sleep more?" King Qiong said with concern.

"I've slept enough." Qiu Xun said, turned back to Purple Butterfly and said, "Purple Butterfly, it's okay here, you go and tell the kitchen to cook more dishes, and leave the young master here for lunch." ”

"Yes," Purple Butterfly slowly turned and walked away.

"I don't know how the princess knew that King Qiong's wine was poisonous," Young Master Shi obviously already knew what happened last night,

"Could it be that the princess saw someone poisoning the cup?"

"I just saw a figure pouring something into King Joan's cup in a trance, and I was already very sleepy at that time, maybe I was about to fall asleep, and I dreamed in a trance," Qiu Xun felt that the only reason to explain these things in a dream was to use a dream to explain these things. "The figure of that person is so familiar, as if it had happened before."

"Oh, the kind of poison that King Qiong said should be the same as the poison that the princess had before," Young Master Shi asked, "Can the princess remember that person's appearance more carefully?" ”

Qiu Xunxin said, no, I was still in modern times when the former heroine was poisoned, how do I know the poisoning scene at that time, could it be that the former heroine gave me a signal prompt again.

Qiu Xun shook his head, hoping that the former heroine would have any memories for her, but her mind was still a blur, and Qiu Xun's head began to hurt again.

King Joan stood up and walked over to Qiu Xun's side. looked at Qiu Xun's painful expression distressedly, "Xun'er, don't think about it if you can't think of it, we'll check it slowly in the future." ”

Chun Nuan helped Qiu Xun back to sleep.

"Every time Xun'er predicts something, she says that she saw it in a dream, could anyone give her a dream," King Qiong looked at Shi Ange suspiciously.

"The princess is a person who has walked around the line of yin and yang, maybe there will really be a yin and can see things that we can't see."

"Purple Butterfly, what are you doing here, didn't the princess tell you to go to the kitchen?" The sound of spring warmth came from outside the living room.

Chun Nuan is never a person who can speak loudly, and occasionally a loud voice startles King Qiong.

King Joan opened the living room door, "Is there something wrong with Purple Butterfly?" ”

"Wang, lord, the kitchen is ready, can you start the meal now?" Purple Butterfly panicked slightly, but quickly regained her composure.

"Oh, you go and tell the kitchen, it's still early, don't rush." King Joan sent Purple Butterfly away and closed the door again.

"This girl was given by the princess, right?" Young Master Shi smiled slightly, "The door of your Qiong Palace's Mansion is also close to your ears." ”

"It's just a little trick of the women." King Qiong lowered his voice and continued, "It's just that the four princes are a little suspicious. ”

"If it was the Fourth Prince's doing, he wouldn't have blatantly prevented you from finding out who had poisoned him," Shi Ange said affirmatively.

"But why is he so afraid of you to find out?"

"Maybe the fourth prince is really worried about ruining the atmosphere of Chinese New Year's Eve and provoking the emperor's anger," King Qiong felt that such an explanation should also be reasonable.

Young Master Shi smiled slyly, "The fourth prince is indeed not the one who poisoned him, but he definitely doesn't want you to find out who the poisoner is." ”

Qiu Xun's headache didn't last this time, and he felt better after a while.

The new princess has already felt the ugliness of intrigue and power struggle hidden in the seemingly graceful and gorgeous royal family, and she suddenly finds that King Joan is in this dangerous environment every day.
