Chapter 250: Life and Death Gamble (Part II)
"It's not fair!"
Istan shouted and said angrily: "Miss Xia knows how to heal, and you took out this medicine, and this prince has never even touched it!" No, such an unfair competition, this prince will not agree! ”
Someone on Aesop's side understood, and shouted and made a mess.
Daqing was secretly happy one by one, and someone immediately said: "If you are afraid, just admit defeat!" Don't say anything fair or unfair, both sides have to drink, and it's not just the eldest prince who drinks alone! ”
"This is the real competition, gambling on your life! The faint of heart should go down......"
Everyone was overjoyed, and they only felt that they were sure to win.
Xia Jinse's medical skills are so skillful, everyone knows it, she must be able to distinguish this medicinal tea by herself. But Prince Aesop can't, among the three cups of tea, although there is only a thirty percent chance to see the king of Hades, who dares to repay the luck?
Seeing this, Xia Yanxiu was finally relieved, so it was.
"Big sister is so cunning!" Only Xia Mengyao muttered, a little disdainful, and secretly frightened.
Listening to everyone's encouragement and sarcasm, Istan's face turned pale, how could he admit defeat?
"Miss Xia said it was fair before, but I didn't expect it to be so cunning? These medicines were taken out by you, and Miss Xia is also proficient in medical skills, such a competition is unfair, and this prince does not approve of it! ”
"The eldest prince thinks too much, I say fair, it's absolutely fair!"
Under the gaze of everyone in the hall, Xia Jinse took out a silk from his sleeve and blindfolded himself.
"These three cups of tea, the smell is the same, the color is the same, if the eldest prince is worried that I am cheating, he can change it at will." Xia Jinse's tone was flat, without the slightest fluctuation.
Suddenly, the audience was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
No one expected that Xia Jinse would compete like this.
Blindfolded, if the teacup is changed again, how can she tell which cup is non-toxic and which is problematic? Even if these medicines were prepared by Xia Jinse, she couldn't see them, and her innate advantages were gone.
Emperor Yuanqing almost shouted 'no', but he finally endured it, all based on his trust in Xia Jinse and Lan Beichen. His subordinate brother has always been steady, and Xia Jinse is not a clever person, he should believe them.
"This is interesting, I didn't expect Miss Xia to be so bold."
Istan smiled meaningfully, "In this way, it is indeed fair!" You can't see it, I'll change it, it's all up to luck and guts. Interesting, interesting! ”
But although he said so, he still wondered in his heart, could it be that the other party was playing psychological warfare for him?
Without hesitation, Istan quickly put the three cups of tea in front of Xia Jinse in front of him in front of him. He concluded that the other party had done something, and he was sure that there was no problem with her three cups, and the problems were on his side, as long as she changed, she would definitely lose!
"It's changed, Miss Xia, let's start." Istan smiled, he wanted to see if she dared to drink.
Xia Jinse didn't say a word, he directly picked up the cup of tea in front of him, smelled it, and seemed to be about to drink it in one gulp.
"Wait!" Istan suddenly shouted.
“
What's wrong, Great Prince? Xia Jinse covered his face and froze with his hands.
Istan laughed slyly and took away the tea in Xia Jinse's hand: "This prince still wants to change it again, but it was too fast just now, and he didn't think about it." As he spoke, he put the cup of tea that Xia Jinse was going to drink in front of him, picked another cup, and put it in front of Xia Jinse.
When the crowd saw this, they were in an uproar.
It's too shameless, this Aesop prince is clearly bullying. Miss Xia has already chosen, and he took the opportunity to snatch it again, this is blatant cheating!
But Xia Jinse didn't care, and after waiting for a while, the corners of her lips raised slightly: "Now that the eldest prince has been replaced, it won't change again, right?" ”
He didn't care at all about Istan's rogue behavior, which made him unsure. After staring at Xia Jinse for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this prince has been changed, and it won't change again." ”
Xia Jinse's face was as usual, and he quickly picked up another cup in front of him, sniffed it and put it down, picked another cup, and drank it all in one heart. The empty teacup gestured to Istan, and she said briskly, "It's your turn, the eldest prince." ”
Drink it so easily, are you really not afraid of death?
Istan's heart sank, but he saw that Xia Jinse had no reaction, just like drinking an ordinary cup of tea, how could he be nervous and cautious about gambling his life?
After waiting for a while, Xia Jinse was still safe and sound, and Daqing was also excited.
"Great, Miss Xia is fine, it's time for Prince Aesop!"
"Miss Xia is really amazing, she calculated it accurately! Now it's up to the Grand Prince Aesop, whether he wins or loses...... No, it's dead or alive, I'm so nervous, maybe after a cup of tea, I'll die......"
"How serious is it, what if Miss Xia will come to the rescue? After all, it's a guest! ”
"Yes, yes, hehehe......"
Listening to the whispers and malicious words around him, Istan's heart beat violently.
He became more and more confused about the other party's tricks, was it really a problem with the tea, or was it psychological warfare, betting that he wouldn't dare to drink it? If he had fallen for the trick and had been fine after drinking tea, but he had admitted defeat because of this, wouldn't he have lost 5,000 horses for nothing?
But if you drink it, in case the tea is really poisonous, this is all Daqing's conspiracy, in fact, it is to deal with him, isn't it fooled?
He didn't think about a few cups of tea, but he put himself in a situation where it was difficult to choose, and Istan regretted it in every way.
Xia Jinse urged: "The eldest prince, it's your turn, what are you doing in a daze?" ”
The people around him also became excited, urging Prince Aesop to drink quickly, otherwise he would admit defeat. Istan became more and more nervous, staring at the three faint cups of tea in front of him, as if each one was a deadly poison.
Sixty percent of the chances are fine, in fact, the odds of winning are still very good.
But Istan was sweating in his palms, what if he was so unlucky that he chose the wrong cup?
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he picked up the cup that Xia Jinse had just chosen, and held it up. This cup should be fine, after all, what she was going to drink just now, how could it be poisonous?
"Miss Xia, thank you just now." As if victorious, Istan picked it up
A cup of tea, saluted Xia Jinse.
"Don't regret it, the eldest prince."
Xia Jinse said lightly, "Don't worry, even if you choose the wrong one, I will give you an antidote." After all, the visitor is a guest, so you can't let the eldest prince come to Daqing standing and lie down to go back to Aesop, right? ”
Istan's eyebrows twisted, the tea was in his mouth, and he didn't dare to drink it again.
"Miss Xia, is this a warning or a threat?" Istan was beating his heart up and down, and he managed to keep it under control.
"This is called a friendly reminder, so that the eldest prince can rest assured."
Everyone laughed for a while, they couldn't imagine that Prince Aesop was so daring, and he would be scared at any word. The noise around was louder, and everyone on Aesop's side was dignified and worried, but on Daqing's side, everyone was watching the show, and I wished that Prince Aesop would drink it and die, or he would admit defeat directly.
Emperor Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, if he didn't care about his identity, he would really laugh out loud on the spot.
This girl is really interesting, and the playful Prince Aesop is terrified.
Istan's face became more and more ugly, and the tea in his hand was almost cold, but he still didn't dare to drink it.
"This prince knows, this tea is fine, you are deliberately scaring this prince." He stared at Xia Jinse's face as he spoke, as if trying to detect the truth from her expression.
"The great prince, please drink!" Xia Jinse was so relaxed that his eyes were still blindfolded, and Istan couldn't see anything.
The tea in his hand weighed like a thousand pounds, and Istan's hand trembled, and the closer he got to his mouth, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the tea. But if he didn't drink it, would he change it to two other cups? Or simply throw in the towel?
Suddenly, Istan handed the tea behind him and drank, "Batu, you've drunk!" ”
One of his attendants stood up, hesitated, took the tea, and drank it down.
The audience was stunned, can it still be like this?
"The eldest prince, you have committed a foul!" Emperor Yuanqing said angrily, "I said that no one can interfere in this game!" ”
Istan was silent, gritting his teeth, staring only at the attendant who was drinking tea in his place, his eyes burning.
After a moment, the attendant said, "The eldest prince, Batu is fine......
Istan laughed suddenly, but the smile had just bloomed, and before he could speak, the attendant's face changed suddenly, and he clutched his stomach in pain.
Aesop's mission was suddenly in chaos, the man fell to the ground, rolling around with his stomach in his arms, howling desperately, hearing that Isstan's face changed greatly, pointing at Xia Jinse and shouting: "It's really poisonous!" What are you doing in a daze, why don't you detoxify him quickly? ”
Fortunately, he didn't drink it, this woman lied to him, despicable and shameless!
Xia Jinse didn't move at all, and looked light: "I said, if the eldest prince chooses the wrong tea, I will naturally solve it if he is poisoned, but I didn't say that I will solve it for others!" ”
"You ......" Istan was furious, but had nothing to say.
The attendant rolled on the ground, in pain, and gradually stopped moving, a black blood flowed from the corner of his lips, and died quickly.
From beginning to end, Xia Jinse didn't make a move, and Daqing's side gradually stopped, and the atmosphere in the audience was depressed.
Something happened, dead man!
For Daqing, this is called giving the other party a color to see, right
For Aesop, this is a danger, a warning!
"The eldest prince's tea is drunk by others, is this called cheating or admitting defeat?" Xia Jinse made a faint voice.
"You, you cheated the prince, you did it on purpose just now!" Istan felt that he was arguing with his words, but he would never admit that he had cheated, let alone admit defeat, "This prince is not convinced, you are the first to play tricks on this prince!" ”
The Marquis of Xiaoyao and the others who watched it were so excited that they almost rushed out, pointing at the nose of Prince Aesop and scolding.
This is called strategy, wisdom, don't gamble if you can't afford to lose!
Even Emperor Yuanqing and Gonggong Lu felt that Xia Jinse would not back down this time, Xia Jinse suddenly picked up another cup of tea and said word by word: "The eldest prince, the person who comes is a guest, I will let you once!" Let's start anew! ”
She didn't even look at the tea in her hand, drank it all, put it heavily in front of her with a snap, and ripped off the veil.
A chill was dyed in her clear eyes, and she said coldly: "It's your turn, eldest prince!" ”
There was a dead silence in the hall, and no one made the slightest sound.
But as time passed, Xia Jinse's complexion did not change at all, it was as cold as an iceberg snow lotus, and everyone's heartbeat accelerated. Istan stared at Xia Jinse, and then looked at the only two cups of tea left in front of him, and his heart sank to the bottom.
The opportunity to choose one of the two, does he dare to gamble?
A voice suddenly came out: "Drink, what are you rubbing?" ”
"Drink, drink! Drink!!! ”
The voices sounded one after another, and in the main hall, the urging voices were invariably the same, and gradually converged into a neat and loud voice: "Drink!" Drink! Drink! Drink ......"
Aesop's face was as dead as ashes, and Istan was cold and shivered as he picked up a cup of tea.
But a distance of one or two feet, it seemed like a year, and the cup of tea finally reached Istan lips......
