Chapter Seventy-Two
During the conversation, Momoko walked in, saluted, and said to Alain, "Lord Songhe has come to visit. ”
As soon as the words fell, Songhe was dressed in white and walked in with a maid carrying a food box, and saw Qi Xin sitting on the main seat of the desk and Alan kneeling on one side with his hands supporting his head, and his footsteps paused slightly just now.
Yu Xin got up and arched his hand to Song He, picked up the account book and was about to retreat, Alan reached out and pressed Yu Xin's arm to stop him, and said, "You just watch here." After speaking, he led Songhe to the round table and motioned for her to sit down.
Songhe glanced at the man who was reading a book not far behind him, paused, but still didn't speak, and then opened the food box and took out the delicate snacks inside.
Alan asked, "Why isn't Xiao'e by your side today?" ”
Songhe nodded to the maid, and the maid removed the food box and stood quietly aside.
"Xiao'e has other things to do." Matsuru said, "Take a closer look at this. ”
Alan glanced at the smiling woman in front of him suspiciously, and always felt that the smile was a little gloomy.
"What's wrong with that? White and soft, fragrant...... It's pretty delicious to watch. Alain took a closer look at the small and delicate pastry in front of him and said, "This is a glutinous rice cake, right?" ”
Songhe nodded, and then the maid took out a silver needle and pierced it like a glutinous rice cake in front of Alain.
Seeing this action, Alain was slightly shocked: "Poisonous? ”
After listening to Alain, Songhe pulled out the silver needle, and Alain saw that the tip of the needle turned slightly black.
"This is my food for the day." Songhe said coldly, "It's not just this one. Guess who's got it. ”
Alain retracted his neck and quickly moved away from the plate of pastries, thinking, "Someone wants to kill you?" ”
There was a sudden silence in the room. Alan looked at the glutinous rice cake in front of him, only to feel cold behind him. After a long time, Alan spoke, and said slowly: "Is it someone from the Five Princes' side?" ”
Although it was a question, Alain was in a declarative tone.
"You didn't encounter this last time you came back, but this time someone wants to do something to you. The only change in these two returns to Beijing is that your purpose is different. ”
"This time, you are coming back with the eldest princess on behalf of the South Wing, the purpose is to consolidate and promote the relationship between the South Wing and the Xu State, and it also shows the attitude of the South Wing towards this war conflict." Alan stood up, paced, and said, "Someone wants to sabotage the alliance this time, so if something happens to you, even if it is in the territory of Xu State, it can still cause suspicion and discord between the two dynasties." Xu was attacked before and after, so naturally he couldn't afford to fight with Beiman, so he could only negotiate peace. ”
Songhe nodded and said solemnly: "I sent someone to pay attention to the food of the eldest princess and the eldest crane princess, but it is safe." It can be seen that this man only wants to destroy the alliance, and does not want to lead a war. After all, even if I die, I can't afford to fight. The eldest princess and the big crane princess are different. There was a hint of sarcasm in Songhe's tone.
"Has the poisoner been found?"
"It was clean, I couldn't find it." Matsutsuru shook his head.
Alain patted Songhe on the shoulder and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Songhe replied, "Do you know what your master's purpose is?" ”。
Alan nodded, although the master didn't say it explicitly, Alan guessed: "Bring down the concubine's party and avenge my mother." Collect evidence that my grandfather was framed and correct my grandfather's name. ”
