Thoughtful: XVII

When he was grounded, except for a few personal maidservants in Fengyi Palace, no one else was allowed to see him.

In recent days, after thinking about pouring out the silver ingots hidden in Fengyi Palace and counting them a few times, he counted the glass beads on the bead curtain, and after counting the 1,300 floor tiles in Fengyi Palace, he knew that the orchids in the pot had twenty-two leaves, and finally when he looked at Ruyue's hair, Ruyue, who had always been quiet like water, was panicked.

At the beginning, Yousi was reluctant to be trapped in this deserted Fengyi Palace, but Zhao Zhao told her that in order for them to be together in the future, she had to endure this temporary hardship.

Yousi felt that since Zhao Zhao had thought so much about their future, then she could also do something for him, at least for now, she could stay obediently in Fengyi Palace.

The old lady of the Queen Mother gave an order that she should not think of seeing anyone again for a month, so in this month's time, the old lady of the Queen Mother will definitely repeatedly come up with some dogmatic theories and persuade Zhao Zhao to go to Wei Xian.

Thinking of this, Yousi hid the urge to bite the old woman and Wei Xian to death for the umpteenth time, endured a breath in his chest, and stayed in Fengyi Palace, because Yousi knew that maybe because of her impulsiveness, Zhao Zhao's hard work would be wasted for so long.

Yousi also understood what Zhao Zhao had been afraid of, he was afraid of Wei Wei's power, and he was afraid that his newly stable country would be in chaos again. Yousi also thought about killing that Wei Wei for a hundred years, but that Wei Wei is cunning and cunning, there must be many secret guards around him, and there is no shortage of human monks by his side, if she makes a rash move, she must use demon power, and if it is found to be a demon beast at that time, then she and Zhao Zhao will have no future.

So after thinking about it again and again, I chose to endure it.

But sometimes, things in this world are just like Zhao Zhao once said, even if you are safe and stable and don't provoke others, others may not make you feel comfortable.

One day, before going to bed, Yousi picked up the bone broth made in the imperial dining room and was about to take a sip, when the soup was brought to his mouth, Yousi sniffed lightly with his nose and smelled a different taste.

This bone broth is different from what she drinks on weekdays, the masters of the imperial dining room are decades of craftsmanship, even if there is a deviation in the accessories, it will not be this faint medicinal smell, this taste is difficult for mortals to smell or taste, but there is the blood of ancient demon beasts in Yousi's body, and he can subtly observe many subtle flavors around.

Of course, except for the first time when I first came to the world, after falling into the pigsty, for half a month, I thought about eating steamed buns and felt that it was the smell of pig.

Quietly summoned Ruyue, Yousi pointed to the bone broth in the bowl and whispered: "This soup is poisonous." ”

This sentence changed Ruyue's frightened face, and she carefully took the soup and looked at it, smelled it, although she didn't find anything, but she knew that Yousi never lied, so she didn't dare to let Yousi drink it again, so she hurriedly picked up the bowl and hurriedly walked out.

After a while, Ruyue came back from outside with her head down, although she didn't seem flustered, her steps were a little faster than usual, and half of the soup in the bowl was left, and she almost spilled it when she was hurrying.

Seeing that she was thoughtful, Ruyue quietly said: "Niangniang, it's poisonous, I took it out and fed it to a cat, and after drinking only half of it, the cat died." ”

Yousi looked at Ruyue, and said coldly: "Do they want to kill me and make Wei Xian the queen?" ”

Ruyue's mood calmed down a little, and her face was still not good: "This is something I know, but does Niangniang know?" This bowl of soup was not originally for you, there are a lot of people who want bone broth in each palace every day, the master of the imperial dining room is set the number of servings, pasted with the name of each palace to prepare it, and sent it to the palace, your bowl was sprinkled by a new palace maid, the master of the imperial dining room picked a good quality from the prepared one to send to you first, saying that it was the master who was missing and then made up, because the little eunuch who sent the soup was a fellow slave, and every time he had to say a few more words to the slave and maid, and talked about it today. ”

Thinking about it, he thought, "Is it that all soups are poisonous?" ”

Ruyue shook her head and said: "No, Niangniang drank it after a while, presumably it has been drunk in other palaces, and I didn't hear any movement when I went out just now, should it be nothing?" ”

Thoughtful and said: "Could it be the hands and feet done on the way?" ”

"It has always been sent by my fellow countryman, and I think back that he is no different from the past."

Yousi's eyes turned and he looked around vigilantly, "You mean, there are thieves in this palace?" ”

Ruyue said: "The people in the palace are all personally selected by the emperor, but they can't be guaranteed, there are people over there." ”

"That's easy to say." You thought about it: "If there is a thief in the palace, this soup has not been sent for a long time, so the poisoning time must not be long, Fengyi Palace is now sealed, there are only a few faces in and out, you call them all over, I can smell who still has the smell of medicine on their bodies." ”

"Okay." Ruyue responded to the next sound, and Lala's thoughtful hand was used as a comfort, and hurriedly went out to call someone.

After a while, all the five palace maids who remained in this palace gathered, sat on the top of the collapse, and said to the palace maids: "Come today, check how you are learning etiquette, you one by one, come and ask me to have a look." ”

When a few palace maids heard this, they didn't dare to say much, and one by one they stepped forward cautiously and cautiously knelt down to Yousi to say goodbye, in general, how did the rules be learned, Yousi couldn't see it, but when the third knelt down, Yousi frowned, got up and went around in front of the palace maid, didn't say anything, and sat back in place.

After a round, Yousi left the third palace maid, Ruyue instructed others to go to the yard to sweep the fallen leaves, saying that they were afraid of frost at night, and the next day they stepped on it and slipped their feet, just let the palace maid who stayed serve Yousi.

The palace maid carefully made the bed for Yousi, or because her heart was empty, her expression was always timid, and she didn't dare to look up at Yousi.

Yousi smiled and ordered, "Put out the candles in the house, and leave only one." ”

The palace maid got the order, thinking that she was thinking about going to sleep, so she obediently did so.

In the dormitory of Fengyi Palace, as the candles were extinguished, it slowly fell into darkness, only a small flame remained, which seemed to not illuminate much place, and the room was faintly sparse, which looked a little eerie and terrifying.

Yousi held her cheeks and looked at the palace maid carefully in the swaying light and shadow, she obviously didn't offend her, and she never did anything to be sorry for her, but why did she want to hurt her? The old beggar said that morality should be emphasized in the affairs of this world, could it be that the morality of these people was fed to the dogs?

As if sensing the thoughtful gaze, the palace maid turned around and saw the queen mother, who had a good personality on weekdays, and looked at her at this time with a terrifying gaze, which was full of murderous aura, and she couldn't help but shake her body in fright, and dropped the lantern cover in her hand to the ground, rolling repeatedly, and arrived at Yousi's feet.

Yousi leaned over, picked up the cover of the lantern, blew the dust that had never been on it, and said to the palace maid: "You are doing very well today, there is still half a bowl of soup on the table over there, give it to you to drink." ”

When the palace maid heard the word soup, her breathing was obviously tight, but then she quickly bowed to Yousi, "Thank you for the queen's reward, the slave and maid will take it back." With that, he went to the table and took the bone broth and wanted to leave.

"No need." He thoughtfully said: "Just drink it here, take it away, what if it's cold?" ”

As if sensing something, the palace maid held half a bowl of soup, and her hands began to tremble, looking at Yousi's sharp eyes at this time, she couldn't help but feel weak legs, and knelt on the ground with a pop.

"Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life."

You Si asked bluntly: "I have no grievances with you, why did you poison me?" ”

When the palace maid heard this, sure enough, the matter had been revealed, so she kept kowtowing and said: "Yes, it is the queen mother and the imperial concubine, they said that if the slave and maid don't do this, they will kill the slave and maid." ”

"So, you're going to trade my life for yours?" After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement, "It's really fair to think about it like this." ”

"Niangniang spares her life, the slave knows that she is wrong, please forgive the slave and maid a life!"

At this time, the door of the dormitory squeaked open, Ruyue came in, and threw a bag of gold leaves in front of the palace maid. I'm afraid it's more than that, where did this gold leaf come from? Even if we are slaves and maids for a lifetime, we may not be able to earn so much! ”

Seeing that the evidence was conclusive, the palace maid didn't dare to refute it anymore, so she kept kowtowing to Yousi, and kept saying spare her life, afraid that when she forgot about poisoning, she had already imagined the glorious and rich life in the future.

The palace maid slammed her head on the ground again and again, until the blood on her forehead appeared, and she never stopped, and when her hair was scattered, she raised her eyes and saw a pair of shoes embroidered with phoenix birds, which stopped in front of her.

The palace maid stiffened her neck and slowly raised her head, but when she saw it, a pair of eyes in front of her had some strange colors, and she was so frightened that she wanted to call for help, only to find that the voice was stuck in her throat and suffocated into her stomach.

A greater fear than death struck, and the palace maid found that she was suddenly out of control, and her hands seemed to have become someone else's, trembling and picking up half a bowl of poisonous soup next to her, and slowly bringing it to her lips.

Gritting her teeth, the palace maid endured it, she didn't want to open her mouth, but there was an invisible force that forced her to pry open her teeth, two teeth were broken in her mouth, and the thick bloody gas accompanied by the poisonous soup that had been cold slowly flowed from her mouth to her stomach.

The body was once again on its own, but it was already poisonous and uncontrollable, and the palace maid was convulsed and convulsed, curling up in pain, and the white foam in her mouth flowed out along with the blood from the broken teeth, until she was silent.

After thinking about the world, it is rare to use demon power like this, and now the mood seems to be troubled, less pure than before, and I found that the killing nature of the demon beast in the body is a little difficult to control, and I want to pounce on it and completely tear apart the corpse that is no longer moving.

"Mother." Someone in her ear called her anxiously, and Yousi stopped.

"Thoughtful." The man called again, and a pair of eyes gradually cleared, seeing Ruyue's pale face, her lips trembled unconsciously with fear, but there was a little concern in her eyes.

"Sister Ruyue." I thought about it, and when I woke up, I only felt physically and mentally exhausted.
