Chapter 290: Waiting for an opportunity to poison
Xiao Shami and Shang Kelan were talking, but after Shang Kelan heard this, her eyes flashed slightly, and she didn't answer, but just asked, "Niangniang?" The lady that the little master said was surnamed Zhao? ”
"Exactly."
The little novice replied, "Please come into the temple and speak." ”
There is a smell of incense lingering in Yunlai Temple, which is full of Buddhist culture.
It's just that as soon as the little novice finished speaking, he saw a woman in red coming.
"Concubine Chen, it's a little late for you to arrive, the concubine has finished worshiping the Buddha, and she is ready to go back to the palace."
Zhao Kehan smiled and talked to Shang Kelan, but the good mood in his voice couldn't be stopped.
Everyone looked up at her and saluted her.
Shang Kelan looked at her with a smile and said: "Concubine Jia's mother is safe and sound, and the palace will rest assured, Your Majesty has sent someone to protect the palace back to the palace, and Concubine Jia will be with the palace." ”
At this time, a white-eyed monk walked out.
I saw that he handed Concubine Jia a small white porcelain vase and reminded: "Concubine Jia, you forgot your things." ”
Concubine Jia was slightly stunned, then took it and smiled: "Thank you, Master Yunqing." ”
Master Yunqing?
This person's Dharma name, even if Shang Kelan did not burn incense and worship the Buddha, he had heard it from other people's mouths.
It just so happened that Yun Qing looked over at this time, and Shang Kelan nodded to him.
Master Yunqing's eyes flickered, and he said, "Several donors, be careful on the road. ”
As soon as the words fell, he saluted the Buddha to a few people, and then turned around and went in.
Shang Kelan looked at his back for a while before saying to a few people, "Let's go back too." ”
"Yes, sis!"
Everyone responded, and on the way back, Concubine Jia and Shang Kelan were together.
It's just that there is only one carriage left, so Concubine Jia and Shang Kelan ride together.
On the way back, Forp opened the way in front of the carriage, and Xinrui and Gardenia waited on either side of the carriage.
And in the palace, interested parties have already received the news that Shang Kelan is dead or alive.
Changle Palace, after listening to the matter of calligraphy and painting, Zhao Kexi slapped the table and pointed at her, and said angrily: "What did you say? The people in charge of the assassination were all wiped out and died? ”
The body trembled uncontrollably, and the calligraphy and painting bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Yes, Niangniang, Concubine Chenniang has a master to follow, and after they all fought all the way, only two or three people escaped left." ”
When Zhao Kexi heard this, his face became extremely ugly, and he only said: "Deal with those killers immediately, and you can't leave any clues about this palace!" ”
"Yes, sis!"
She was so nervous about this matter, and she didn't dare to slack off on calligraphy and painting.
It's just that after the calligraphy and painting retreated, she couldn't sit still in the palace anyway, but now His Majesty has grounded her again, and she can't go anywhere now.
Starting from Yunlai Temple, Shang Kelan learned that Concubine Jia had arrived here two hours earlier than her.
What Concubine Jia used for two hours, no one knows.
In the carriage, Concubine Jia drank tea calmly, not knowing what was going on, but she always felt that her complexion had changed a little, and her appearance became more beautiful.
The masked white veil was removed by Concubine Jia at some point.
From Zhejiang to the capital, pass through a small county town with quite high terrain.
There is an official road in this county town arranged on the cliff, which is prone to accidents, and Shang Kelan intends to bypass it from here. Read a book for a long time
But Concubine Jia insisted on passing through here.
Before he got on the road, Fupu began to persuade: "Concubine Jia, the road ahead is dangerous, if something happens to you and Concubine Chen, how can the slave explain to Your Majesty!" ”
Besides, Jin Yantang will definitely cut off his head because of anger!
Concubine Jia said disapprerovantly: "It's just a mountain road, and this palace can't go through it if you don't believe it." ”
Saying that, she insisted on letting people walk this mountain road, during which she lifted the curtain and said to Xinrui: "Xinrui, this palace is thirsty, bring some water to this palace." ”
With a flash of her eyes, Xinrui nodded and said, "Yes, Niangniang." ”
Then, Xinrui took a few steps forward and said to the coachman, "Uncle, do you have water?" The mother is thirsty. ”
The driver drove with one hand, untying the water bag from his waist.
Xinrui took advantage of the fact that he did not rest, and left a finger-long golden needle on the carriage without any traces, and wanted to put it in the horse's buttocks.
It just so happened that Chen Yetan came over at this time and said, "Uncle, give me some water too, I'm also thirsty!" ”
After the coachman handed the water to Xinrui, he smiled embarrassedly: "Girl, there is no water, there is a tea shed not far from this mountain road ahead, you can go there to buy some water to drink." ”
"I see, then thank you, uncle!"
Chen Yetan said, as soon as the words fell, he gently stroked the horse, and said: "Good horse, good horse, you have to send our mother back to the capital quickly, can you go back, we are all counting on you!" ”
As soon as Xinrui moved the horse, Chen Yetan appeared to talk to her, which made Xinrui a little frightened.
She endured it so that she didn't show fear.
So after the water, Xinrui returned to the carriage and said to Concubine Jia: "Niangniang, the water is here." ”
Concubine Jia stretched out her hand to take it, poured it into the cup and took a sip, and said to Shang Kelan in a good mood: "Concubine Chen, do you want to drink some too?" ”
This carriage is Zhao Kehan's original one, Shang Kelan's carriage has long been destroyed in the post station, and there doesn't seem to be anything like a tea set in her carriage.
Shang Kelan smiled slightly: "No need, Concubine Jia, please use it." ”
Concubine Jia raised her eyebrows, drank herself, and stopped talking to her.
At this time, Chen Yetan returned to Tie Niu's side, and the two followed behind the carriage.
Glancing at Chen Yetan, Tie Niu asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "What were you doing just now?" ”
Suddenly stepped forward, Chen Yetan didn't look like such an impulsive person.
But seeing Chen Yetan's sly smile, he said to Tie Niu: "Guess what I found just now?" ”
Tie Niu asked cooperatively, "What?" ”
I saw Chen Yetan take out a golden needle from his hand and look inside the carriage: "Just now, Concubine Jia's maidservant girl was obviously going to escape water to drink, but in fact, she went to prick this kind of thing on the horse's body." ”
After a slight pause, Tie Niu became interested and asked, "What is this?" ”
Chen Yetan put the golden needle on the tip of his nose and sniffed, and said: "There is a faint smell on it, it is quenched with poison, and if it is pierced into the human body, people will still go crazy, let alone increase the dose on horses." ”
I see.
It seems that the palace maid just now was instructed by Concubine Jia to do this, but Tie Niu was a little strange and looked at Chen Yetan: "Strange, if Concubine Jia wants to harm Concubine Chen, how can she not even care about her own safety?" After all, she was in the carriage herself, right? ”
Chen Yetan shook his head, stared at the golden needle, and played with the taste: "Maybe Concubine Jia is doing this, and she wants to hide people's eyes?" ”
Her analysis also made sense, and after hearing this, Tie Niu didn't speak again.
However, Chen Yetan explained again: "Don't worry, just now I took advantage of the palace maid's departure to give Ma Er another antidote, and it will be fine later." ”
This is a mountain road, which is rugged and steep, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff.
It seems that Concubine Jia wanted to kill Concubine Chen, and she was separated from Concubine Chen's soldiers from the beginning, and it was difficult to guarantee that the previous assassins were not made by her!
