Chapter 307: Poisoning
Finally, the noisy cell quieted down, and the officials breathed a sigh of relief and drank a little wine.
In the Weiyang Palace, the maids held a plate full of fruit and gathered in front of the concubine, who simply inserted a cherry tomato into her mouth with a silver hairpin.
It looks very leisurely, and the whole person is very casual.
"Is the emperor still summoning Concubine Liang to the palace today?"
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, the concubine sighed, and then asked in a tone that she had known for a long time.
"The emperor went to Xianfu Palace today, and I heard that the eleventh prince came in very well-behaved, so the emperor went to visit him a few more times."
Lan Cui handed the veil to the concubine before he bowed to her.
"The elder brother of this palace has always returned from the battlefield, otherwise this palace would not be so weak in the palace now, and I don't know that Lei'er's child is shameless in front of the emperor."
When the concubine heard this, her expression was hurt, even Nangong Qing, the hairy boy, was already able to compete for the favor of the virtuous concubine, but she was idle in the palace and was left out in the cold.
"The emperor takes care of the general, he will take care of Niangniang, it's just that the limelight is too strong for a while, and after this period of time, Niangniang is still in charge of the harem."
Lan Cui looked at her a little melancholy, and then she opened her mouth to persuade, her expression was firm.
Seeing that her girl was so sure, the concubine's mood suddenly improved a lot, and her face was not so sad.
"That's it, it's Concubine De who is proud of her for a while, look at her such a big battle, she has the final say on the candidates for the harem draft, and it's hard to say whether there is a foothold in the harem in the future."
When the concubine thought that the person who was now in charge of the power of the six palaces was Concubine De, she felt unhappy, obviously she was the highest-ranking concubine in this palace, but she wanted to listen to the words of a concubine who was not careful.
"Niangniang was also in charge of the Sixth Palace in the past, Concubine De is just proud for a while, see if her face can be cured, or two, how can the emperor like a person who hurts her appearance, her good times will not last long, if her son is not angry, there will be nothing for her in the future."
Lan Cui is the concubine's companion, and her speech is naturally casual and mean, but I saw that she talked to the concubine as if she was talking between sisters.
"That's it, the new concubines who have entered the palace still have to be enveloped, how are things handled by the yamen?"
The concubine said these words by Lan Lancui, and she was naturally in a good mood, and she wanted to block Concubine De, so she asked in passing.
"Lord Zhang hasn't made up his mind yet, and now both of them are locked up in prison, and the Ye Mansion is also in chaos."
Lan Cui put away the melons and fruits, beat her legs for her, and then replied in a low voice.
"Then this palace will add some material to Concubine De, to see if she hurts Ye Zhenzhen's person, whether Ye Zhenzhen will do her best to treat her face, this palace wants to see how much she can do."
The concubine sneered on her face, and then gave Lan Cui a look.
"The slave understands."
Lan Cui understood, and immediately blessed her, and retired with a smug smile.
Star Restaurant.
"I heard that your food here is the most refreshing, bring me a copy of the good one, there is no shortage of silver."
Lan Cui ran to the Star Restaurant, threw several ingots of silver on the table, and then said proudly.
"Girl, wait a minute, I'll arrange for someone to do it."
Shimmer was dumbfounded, she didn't know Lan Cui, she just felt that a big customer suddenly came, so she hurriedly complimented her, and put her in the upper seat, and then urged the kitchen to make all the good meals in the store and put them in the lunch box.
"Girl, walk slowly."
Shimmer politely sent Lan Cui away, staring at her back for a long time, frowning, always feeling that something was not right.
"What the hell is going on? But what's wrong, the silver is a little worse, or is there something missing? ”
The woman who was taking care of the Star Restaurant with her saw her puzzled, so she hurriedly came forward to ask what she wanted to help her recall.
"It's nothing, I just feel that this person's tone of voice doesn't look like an ordinary person, nor does he look like a young lady from a big family, and he doesn't look like a maid or maid from a certain family, so I just think it's a little strange."
Shimmer thought about it carefully, the man spoke arrogantly, if it was an ordinary girl, she must be cautious and soft-spoken, if it was a young lady, she didn't have to buy it herself, and ordinary people couldn't afford it, so how could they take out a few ingots of silver?
"Don't think about it, there will be new upstarts in this capital every few days, maybe it's a new person, we just take care of the business of the restaurant."
The woman smiled slightly at Shimmer's words, and comforted her as she cleaned up the table.
A few guards in the cell who had just drunk a little drunk ran into Lan Cui, who was sneaking in front of her, and saw that she threw some broken silver on the table without hesitation.
"I'm just here to take a look at the old people, there's nothing else, these are for you, if it's not enough, I'll come out later, keep an eye on it, don't let others disturb our sisters' reminiscences."
Lan Cui smelled the smell of wine on their bodies, covered her nose, and then said proudly, without the slightest hesitation in her tone, and did not give them any chance to refute.
Those people drank a little too much, and there was no oil and water in the cell itself, and now when they saw the silver, they felt that pie had fallen from the sky, so who would care who Lan Cui came to see.
"Since the girl is here to see people, let's go in by yourself, and the brothers won't entertain them."
After the silver was divided equally among several people, they looked at Lan Cui with a wicked smile, and continued to drink drunkly, as if they didn't mean to care about her.
"Thank you very much."
Lan Cui sneered, said a little sarcastically, and then walked towards the inside with jade steps, looking for them one by one, and soon saw Zhilan leaning against the wall with a somewhat depressed head.
"Zhilan, do you think it's okay? It was the prince who asked me to come and see you. ”
Lan Cui collected her emotions for a while, and hurriedly looked in a hurry, trotting towards Zhilan, her mouth kept chattering, and her eyes wandered back and forth on her body.
"Who is this sister? Zhilan hasn't seen you. ”
Zhilan opened her eyes when she heard the sound, and looked at the maid in front of her, only then did she ask weakly, her tone full of respect.
"I'm the girl in King Mu's mansion, the situation is tense for a while, the side concubine is busy looking for the little master, so she has no time to deal with these things, and you must have been framed, the prince asked me to pass it on, so that you can stay here with peace of mind, and someone will take care of you, this is the food that the side concubine asked the slave maid to bring you, thinking that you didn't eat well in prison."
Without waiting for Zhilan to ask for some details, Lan Cui quickly blurted out that many words had been thought of by her early morning, and then she stuffed the food box into it.
Zhilan opened the food box suspiciously, only to see that the dishes lying inside were all from the Star Restaurant, although she couldn't believe the person in front of her, but she trusted the food very much, I am afraid that except for the Star Restaurant, no one can make such dishes.
"Thank you sister for telling me, and please ask my sister to return to our young lady, everything is fine in prison, please take care of herself, don't worry about me."
Zhilan was suddenly full of trust in the person in front of her, and saw her and Lan Cui across the iron fence, saying these words very worriedly.
"You can rest assured, Concubine Fang just can't rest assured of you, so let me take a look."
Lan Cui had a wicked smile on her face, but she said thoughtful words like a sisterly relationship with Zhilan.
"Okay, I don't have much time to come here, it's not good to be found out later, these are left to you, you must take care of yourself, I'll go first, if there is anything to say, I'll talk about it another day."
Seeing Zhilan's 100% trust in herself, Lan Cui was a little anxious, she didn't want to show her feet in front of others, so she held Zhilan's hand, a little reluctant to speak, but left in a hurry.
Looking at the back of the maid leaving, Zhilan's heart warmed, fortunately, Ye Zhenzhen still cared about herself, and did not let herself be locked in the cell alone, she was also very considerate of Ye Zhenzhen, and didn't want to cause her a little trouble.
After that, Zhilan looked at the sumptuous dishes in front of her, but she didn't know where to start, she hesitated for a long time with chopsticks, and then she ate some casually, and was locked in a cell, she was a little depressed, and her appetite was not very good.
Liu Zhang looked at Zhilan from the cell, smelling the fragrance of the vegetables, and his saliva was about to flow out, but he couldn't say anything to ask for food, so he could only look at it with his eyes.
"These are for you, don't look at me like this, you are also my aunt after all."
Zhilan waited for a long time, and then handed her three remaining dishes to Liu Zhang's, the maid sent more meals, and she couldn't finish them alone, so she specially didn't move a few meals, which were left for Liu Zhang's.
After Liu Zhang took the meal, he ate it unceremoniously, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time.
Half an hour later, Zhilan suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach, but she didn't know why, she thought that she had been in this damp cell for a long time, and then she contracted some unknown diseases, so she forced herself to lean against the wall.
But later, the pain in the abdomen became more and more obvious, and the whole painful face was distorted, and he could only lie on the ground and roll.
"Quick, come on."
It didn't take long for the ghost guards guarding outside the cell to notice that something was wrong inside, and hurriedly waved to the side.
After a while, several ghost guards broke into the cell with knives and took the prison officials hostage.
One of them rushed to Zhilan's cell, pinched her mouth, and poured her a pill.
After a while, Zhilan looked much better, but she was sweating profusely in pain.
The sweat-soaked clothes on her body, Zhilan gasped in pain, and she realized that she had fallen into the trap of others, and someone wanted to take the opportunity to kill her.
"Go back to the prince, just say that someone has done something to the people in prison, it should be okay for the time being, and then go and ask a Lang Zhong to take a look."
