Chapter 148: The Evil Empress (8)
Before she could finish speaking, Victoria pushed her away and tried to run.
Zhao Jiaqi stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed Victoria's arm, and his other hand was raised high to draw it into her face.
At this moment, Zhao Jiaqi suddenly felt that his hand was restrained by a force, and when he looked back, it was Twelve who were chasing Victoria.
Twelve's face was as cold as frost: "Let go of her!" ”
Zhao Jiaqi laughed angrily: "I am the queen, I have the right to educate His Majesty's children, it is you Twelve Campbell who should let go!" ”
Seeing that she was indifferent, Twelve directly pushed with both hands and cut Zhao Jiaqi's hand: "I said, you don't have this qualification, it's only three." ”
Zhao Jiaqi was in unbearable pain, let go of Victoria's arm, but he couldn't beat Twelve, so he could only stare at her with wide eyes: "Twelve, Campbell, you will regret it!" ”
Twelve looked at Victoria's arm, made sure there were no bones, and left in silence.
Zhao Jiaqi returned to the palace with the support of the maid.
She sat on the edge of her bed, and the maid gently checked the injuries on her hands for her, and when she touched the red and swollen place, Zhao Jiaqi frowned and shouted: "Hiss-"
The maid looked distressed: "Your Royal Highness, you are too pampered to the imperial concubine, she dares to treat you like this, in my opinion, she should tell Your Majesty, let Your Majesty send her down." ”
Zhao Jiaqi didn't say anything, just watched the maid help him with medicine, and then wrapped his arm with silk silk, making it look as if it was seriously injured.
When she had done all this, she instructed her maid, "Go and call for Seya." ”
The maid hesitated: "Your Highness, last time Seya said that she had been exposed, should we continue to believe her?" ”
Zhao Jiaqi hooked the corners of his lips: "As long as she still asks for something, she must listen to me." ”
Twelve dragged Victoria back to the dormitory, she pressed the puffing little girl to the chair, and she crouched down and hugged her and said, "Victoria, I know that you are sad and angry right now, but it is not that I do not want to stay with you, but there are many important things waiting for me to do. ”
"The mother once asked you, what if you want to marry someone you don't love, remember?"
Victoria's eyes were red, she pouted, and nodded.
"You can give up your happiness for the general public, and the mother concubine has to temporarily leave Victoria for the people of the frontier, can you understand what the mother said?" Twelve tried to avoid the entanglement between adults and explained to her, she felt that this child was sensible enough, sensible to the point of distress, but she was only a few years old after all.
Victoria kept her face calm and didn't speak, and Twelve tried to persuade her, but she pushed her away, and before she could react, Victoria ran out alone.
Twelve went out and saw Salim at the door, and he smiled and said to her: "Your Highness, give the princess some time, she will slowly understand your difficulties and painstaking efforts." ”
Twelve motioned for Salim to follow the princess, and sat down feebly against the cold, ornate wooden door.
She didn't want to make it clear to Victoria, but Victoria had lost her biological mother at a young age, and she could no longer deprive the little girl of her desire for fatherly love for her own reasons.
Hongmeng stretched out his wings and patted her shoulder: "She is still young, but she will grow up one day." ”
"Yes, she's still so young, I've seen children her age enjoy their childhood in kindergarten before, but, forget it-" Twelve knew that she couldn't change Victoria's fate, and the only thing she could do was witness her growth.
At night, when the tossing and turning Twelve finally fell asleep in bed, a candle suddenly lit up in the maid's room.
In the silence of the night, this light went from the twelfth bedroom to the queen's bedroom, and the owner of the candle knocked on the heavy door: "It's me." ”
The figure hidden in the night, illuminated by the firelight, was Saiya.
The maid opened the door and looked behind Seya to make sure no one was following her and let her in.
Saiya followed the maid all the way to Zhao Jiaqi's dormitory, today, Kyle is not resting here, she is sitting alone on the bed and reading a book.
Seya bowed to the empress: "Your Highness." ”
Zhao Jiaqi didn't raise his eyes: "Have you thought about it?" No remorse? ”
Saiya's Adam's apple slid up and down, and the hands on her side clenched into fists for a long time before she said, "Saiya thought that Her Royal Highness the Empress had done a little bit. ”
Zhao Jiaqi put down the book in his hand, his chin was raised, and Saiya looked in the direction she indicated, and there was a delicate and small glass bottle on the desk next to her.
With her permission, Seya picked up the glass bottle.
The bottle is carved into the shape of a diamond, and the mouth of the bottle is a delicate glass stopper, which contains a liquid as bright red as blood, which looks like a magnificent ruby from a distance.
"What is this?" Saiya, who had a faint premonition, couldn't help but ask.
"You don't need to know what it is, you just need to put a drop of it in the diet of the Twelve Imperial Princesses, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter." Zhao Jiaqi completely used Saiya as a tool.
Seya was entangled: "But, how do I know if it has an effect?" If I do what I need to do, but the medicine doesn't work out, won't you help me find a way out? ”
"Are you questioning Her Royal Highness? How daring! Before Zhao Jiaqi could speak, the maid on the side scolded Saiya.
Zhao Jiaqi stopped her and said: "I can tell you that this is a poison called the Heart Demon, and it only takes one drop to make the imperial concubine leave this world without the slightest pain." ”
"Really?" Seya still had some doubts.
Zhao Jiaqi nodded.
Saiya, who held the glass bottle in her hand, covered her hand tightly, and left after saluting Zhao Jiaqi without saying a word.
The maid was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, why did you lie to her and tell her directly, didn't she just want to do things for us?" ”
Zhao Jiaqi glared at the maid, as if to blame her for her mouthful: "Saiya is an indecisive person, if you tell her that this taste demon does not need to be directly touched, and smelling it can make people worse than death, she will still give me her life?" ”
"Besides, who can rest assured that such a maid who sells her lord for glory, the imperial concubine doesn't dare to use her easily, how can I use her with confidence."
A flash of joy flashed on the maid's face: "What does Your Highness mean?" ”
"As long as she is greedy and opens the bottle, she herself is a moving poison, and when she serves the imperial concubine, the poison will enter the imperial concubine's body unconsciously." Zhao Jiaqi had no last resort, but he was afraid that Saiya would suddenly regret it.
The date of departure was set in three days.
In a hurry, Twelve didn't have time to pack up his belongings, the Campbells' sword and ring, and the letter Madame Heine had sent back to her.
