Fang Yan brought up the brewed Qingding tea, held the teapot between her fingers, pressed the lid with the middle of her left hand, and carried the handle of the pot with her right hand, and poured a cup for Tang Anxia first. Then, he walked to the table next to Meng Qi and poured the tea into her cup, and the water flowed down beautifully, and the sound of clattering was very clear in the silent dormitory.

Tang Anxia picked up the teacup, her eyes were deep and soft, and she watched a few tea leaves stretch, rotate, and sink slowly in the clear and turquoise liquid, and the buds and shadows were shining with each other.

Raising his eyes, his vision was refreshing, he glanced at Mengqi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "Sister, you don't have to be polite, you and I have known each other in Chuxiu Palace, and we have a very good relationship." Now that my sister Tang Wanning has gone to the Northwest Fiefdom and become the Queen of the Northwest, I am alone in this imperial city, and it is my blessing to have such a well-behaved and sensible companion as my sister. Hurry up and taste what this tea tastes like. ”

Meng Qi suddenly burst into tears and smiled, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, sat on the chair, picked up the celadon, blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, took a sip, and praised: "The tea in my sister's hall is really good, bitter but not astringent, bitter and sweet, sweet and long, it can be called a must!" ”

Tang Anxia put down the teacup, the smile between her eyebrows and eyes was kind and polite, and her red lips pursed slightly: "If my sister likes it, my sister will give you two boxes, take them back and taste them slowly." ”

After that, he raised his face towards Fang Yan: "Go to my room and get two boxes of fragrant tea and give them to the princess." ”

"Yes." Fang Yan retreated.

Meng Qi laughed embarrassedly: "My sister is polite, my sister came empty-handed, there is nothing to honor my sister, it is rude, how dare I ask for my sister's things?" ”

Tang Anxia's bright starry eyes looked at her, and a light smile rippled between her red lips: "Between you and my sisters, there is no need to be polite." In addition, I recently found a good thing, along with this tea for you, which is a gift for our sisters to meet for the first time. ”

Meng Qi couldn't refuse, so she had to pretend to be happy, looking at Tang Anxia with crystal clear eyes, a little shy, her cherry-like mouth opened slightly, and said: "Then my sister is better to be respectful than to obey my fate, thank you sister for your kindness." ”

Tang Anxia's smile became deeper and deeper, and he waved his hand lightly towards Yuhua: "Quickly take the things I prepared and show them to the princess on the side." ”

Yuhua immediately took over a round wooden box, with strange patterns carved on it, like a tiger, a cat and an unknown beast, placed it in front of Mengqi's table, and blessed her body perfunctorily: "Princess Fang, please open it and take a look, don't live up to the good intentions of my princess." ”

Meng Qi glanced at Yuhua, and a hint of anger appeared in the depths of her eyes, but she was immediately replaced by a smile all over her face, and while opening the wooden box, she said with a smile: "Why is my sister so polite, my sister actually doesn't lack anything......"

The lid opened, Mengqi's smile stiffened on her face in an instant, she just came to her mouth, swallowed it hard, and looked at the things in the box in a daze, it was a pair of black shoes, placed on the side of the wooden box, a dry aquatic plant at the sole of the shoe had turned dark green, stuck in the gap of the sole, as if it was expressing something unknown to everyone.

Yuhua didn't say a word, and returned to Tang Anxia's side to stand, but his face was a little darker than just now.

Tang Anxia glanced at Yuhua in surprise, she didn't understand why her face was heavy, and in the blink of an eye, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, looking at Mengqi who was stunned, and the corners of her mouth curved a just right curvature: "How?" Is this shoe sister familiar? ”

"Hehe......" Mengqi laughed embarrassedly twice, her eyes flashed with incomprehension, she shook her head and replied, "My sister is really good at laughing, my sister never wears black shoes, speaking of which, why did my sister give my sister a shoe?" The shoes look a little old and weird, if you say it's a woman's shoe, it's too ugly, if it's a man's shoe, it's too small. My sister is stupid, and I really don't understand what my sister means. ”

Tang Anxia looked at Meng Qi fixedly, her face did not change, her heart did not beat, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she spoke wittily, as if this matter really had nothing to do with her.

"Don't tell my sister that this is a shoe that I picked up in my dormitory, I thought...... Maybe this shoe has a fate with me, it's a pity to lose it, it's better to give it to my sister to keep, maybe I can find another one in my sister's west hall in the future? ”

Tang Anxia said with a smile, her pure eyes were filled with shallow indifference.

Meng Qi covered her lips and chuckled: "My sister is really good at making fun of people, how can my sister's West Hall have such unsightly shoes?" My sister has liked colorful things since she was a child, and black and white things have always been discarded. However, since it was given by my sister, no matter what kind of rare thing it is, my sister will treat it as a treasure and collect it well. ”

As he spoke, Meng Qi closed the wooden box and handed the brocade serving next to him: "Take it, go back and put it in the cabinet to put it away." ”

"Yes." Nishiki took it expressionlessly.

At this time, Fang Yan had already brought over the prepared tea leaves and handed them to the brocade.

As the brocade was taking it, Fang Yan noticed a deep scar on her wrist that seemed to be a distinct knife wound.

Meng Qi turned her head to look at the gray sky outside the hall, got up and said to Tang Anxia: "Sister, it's getting late outside, my sister is already timid and afraid, and she is not familiar with Prince Wen's mansion, so she has to go back early to feel at ease." ”

"Okay, you can step down." Tang Anxia waved his hand at her, looking indifferent without raising his head or opening his eyes.

Meng Qi and Jin Tiao left with the vast minions in the courtyard.

Fang Yan spat at her back: "Look at her virtue!" pretending to be a human dog, harmless to humans and animals, is actually a femme fatale, more calculating than anyone else! ”

Yuhua looked calm and whispered to Tang Anxia: "Princess Zheng, Mengqi's martial arts are not under me. ”

Tang Anxia was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yuhua in surprise, no wonder she looked solemn just now, and her brows were tightly locked.

Yuhua explained: "When I handed her the box, I felt that Meng Qi deliberately hid her internal strength, but the aura of martial arts could not be concealed, especially for a person who has practiced martial arts all year round and is proficient in internal strength, there will always be a strong force flowing and exposed. Presumably, Mengqi should also feel that I have hidden my internal strength, and I will be extremely jealous of us. ”

Fang Yan suddenly thought of Fang Cai's Jintiao's injury, and said: "Princess Zheng, the slave suspects that Jintiao is also a martial arts master, and she has a deep scar on her wrist. ”

Tang Anxia picked up the teacup and drank it all, slammed the cup on the table, making a crisp sound, she muttered: "Yuhua, you go to investigate the relationship between Shangshu Xumin of the Criminal Department and Prince Wen's Mansion, and by the way, go to Shangshu Mansion to find out, what is the origin of this Mengqi and Jintiao master and servant, and only by knowing yourself and knowing each other can you win all battles." I'd like to see what tricks they can do! ”

"Yes, the slave will visit and investigate in person tomorrow!"

……

Prince Wen's Mansion, the west side of the dormitory.

Meng Qi was silent all the way, until she entered the boudoir and retreated from the other subordinates, and then slowly spoke: "This Tang Anxia, I underestimate her on weekdays!" ”

"Princess Fang, the slave maid simply went to kill her, and then committed suicide, so as to prevent future troubles, a hundred!" The eyes of the brocade erupted with a ferocious and vicious light.

Meng Qi hurriedly stopped: "By all means, first, the servant girl beside Tang Anxia is strong in martial arts, I'm afraid that the internal force is above me, and you may not be able to kill Tang Anxia smoothly." Second, you are my slave, if something happens to you, I will inevitably be implicated, even if you have died and apologized, I will jump into the Yellow River and be disgusted and resentful.

Third, you are my only confidant, and the only person I can trust, if you have three longs and two shorts, I will protect you with all my might. If you are gone, I will no longer have credible and usable talents in this palace, and it will be really difficult, and it will be difficult to step by step! The other two maids brought by our Shangshu Mansion are said to be clean and neat and loyal to me, but after all, they are people with low vision and short knowledge, so they are not as intimate as you. ”

"Yes, thank you for the princess's love, as long as you give an order, the slave and maid will not hesitate to go up the sword mountain and go down the sea of fire." Jintiao's face was excited, and his eyes were extremely determined.

Meng Qi looked at the three boxes, her face darkened a little, her wicker-like eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said coldly: "Last time, you were worried about being detected by Yuhua and ran away, but the shoes that fell on the beams of the house were noticed by them. Now it seems that Tang Anxia gave me these shoes, and recognized that I was the murderer of her, and the reason why I didn't tell His Highness should be because of the face of my mother's family, and the evidence to bring me down in my hands is insufficient. ”

Jintiao immediately knelt down and said guiltily: "Slave damned! It's all to blame for the slave's negligence! Only then did they startle the snake and let them find out! ”

Meng Qi raised her hand and grabbed her arm to help her up, her beautiful cheeks did not show any blame, just quietly analyzed: "It's not your fault, now, they will suspect me sooner or later, it doesn't matter if there is an early showdown, whoever loses and who wins, each depends on his ability." ”

Nishijo's face was sad, and there was still a little self-reproach in his heart: "Then what should we do?" I'm afraid it won't be easy to start again, Tang Anxia left her two personal maids in the Tang family in the mansion, and she was already fully prepared. ”

Meng Qi sneered, her eyes flowed, and she was like a wave, thinking: "Your Highness feels sorry for her, favors her, and will protect her in everything, we can't do it in the palace for the time being." However, no matter how powerful His Royal Highness is, he will not be able to withstand the will of the emperor and the queen after all, as long as Tang Anxia offends the lady in the palace, or commits a big crime that angers the holy face, His Royal Highness will not be able to protect her at that time! ”

When Jin Tiao heard this, he immediately cheered up: "The side princess is really smart, so good." ”

Meng Qi picked up the three boxes and was just about to throw them out of the window, when suddenly, a plan hit her mind.

She handed the box containing the shoes to the brocade and instructed, "Throw it into the river outside the palace, the river in the palace is very deep, and it will not be fished out if it is washed downstream along the river." ”

"Yes." Jintiao looked at the wooden box, looked at the two boxes of tea leaves, and said vigilantly, "Princess Fang, who knows if there is poison in this tea, in case it is colorless and tasteless, and it is not easy to detect several poisons that are rumored in the rivers and lakes, and it is not good to hurt your body, so the slaves and maids should be thrown outside together." ”

Meng Qi shook her head, but instead took the two boxes of tea to the dresser, and smiled at the bronze mirror: "What's the matter!" Poisonous or not, I took it to the queen's mother, it was naturally highly poisonous, so I could cure her sins! ”

After speaking, Meng Qi opened a small drawer, took out a round iron box, opened the lid, and there were some small porcelain vases inside, which looked mysterious and exquisite.

Meng Qi carefully selected for a moment, took out a blue and white porcelain vase, opened the lid of the wooden box of tea leaves, and sprinkled the pale green powder in the porcelain vase into the two boxes of tea in turn.

Jin Tiao was shocked: "Princess Fang, this is a highly poisonous medicine given to you by Lord Shangshu, take it and poison it immediately, what if your safety is implicated?" ”

Mengqi gently shook the tea box, making sure the powder was stained on each leaf. Her eyes were determined, her dark face showed the determination to see death as if she were home, and her red lips had a gloomy smile: "You have to be poisoned immediately to pull Tang Anxia into the water, what is my safety, as long as she is dead, I am alive, and I will be with the enemy to the end." ”

Jintiao stared at Meng Qi's almost crazy appearance, and couldn't help but feel distressed, she tried her best to lower her voice, and asked gently: "Princess Fang, for the sake of His Royal Highness, you don't hesitate to be the enemy of Tang Anxia, fight to the death, is it really worth it?" You are the daughter of the dignified Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the eldest lady, a martial arts master, even if you leave the palace of Prince Wen, you can still live a chic and comfortable life.

If...... The slave maid is saying that if you are willing, you can explain your heart to His Royal Highness, Prince Wen is an unruly and upright gentleman, he will be willing to let you leave Prince Wen's mansion, with your appearance and scheming, you can find a better family to marry......"

"Shut up!" Meng Qi suddenly interrupted Jintiao's words, she turned her head and glared at Jintiao fiercely, and then sighed, "I like Your Highness, not a day or two, not a year or two, as early as childhood, I fell in love with him, admired him, and slowly fell in love with him, this kind of accumulated affection, how can it be something that can be given up?"

I entered the palace draft, originally to repay my father's kindness, thinking that if I marry the prince, my heart will also be here with His Royal Highness, even if I betray the prince, I will do my best to help His Highness. By mistake, God has mercy on my love and admiration, let me get what I want, and marry His Highness, how can I retreat? Naturally, he will guard His Highness's side for the rest of his life, shelter him from the wind and rain, plan the layout for him, and become his right-hand man. ”

Jintiao saw that she was crazy in love, distressed and emotional, and shook her head helplessly: "Forget it, the slave is too talkative, as long as the princess is happy, the slave is willing to accompany you." ”

"Jintiao, when you fall in love with a man one day, fall in love with him sincerely, and fall in love with him wholeheartedly, you will naturally understand my mind."

Meng Qi said, her face was full of happy smiles, the tenderness between her eyebrows was like the warm sun in spring, and the smile on her lips was like a budding rose, as long as she thought of Li Junqi's appearance, she felt that no matter what the price was, it was worth it!
