Chapter 317: Attempted poisoning
Wutong soon came in from outside the house, and Concubine He sat in front of the mirror, looking at the picturesque eyebrows and eyes of the woman in the mirror, and the corners of her lips outlined a good-looking smile.
Thinking of what the prince had just done with her, the smile on his face gradually expanded.
"Arsenic, has the frost been put in the food?" With her hair in her bun already combed, she asked, tilting her head to look in the mirror.
Wutong hung his head, "Back to Niangniang's words, it has been put away." ”
"Then you take the meal, and let's go to Qingqiu Courtyard."
She said as she walked out, her figure slender and her smile bright.
is supposed to be a delicate beauty, but she is doing frightening dirty things.
Coming to Qingqiu Courtyard, Wutong was a little surprised, she glanced at the swinging courtyard, and couldn't help frowning.
Why is it so quiet when I go to Qingqiu Temple today?
On weekdays, you can hear the crying wolf of the concubines and ghosts in the courtyard from a long distance, but today is strange.
I guess I know that I was scared after the lesson I learned last time!
When Wutong stepped into the courtyard, he saw Concubine Hu sitting on the stone table in a daze, although she was not embarrassed just now, but it could be seen from the hair ornament that she had just been freshened.
"Come over for dinner, this is my master's reward for you."
Concubine Hu looked at Wutong with a dull gaze, and her body couldn't help but shrink back, looking at her with some horror.
I saw Wutong throw the tray on the table heavily, and sat down by the way, not paying attention to the concubine at all.
Concubine Hu's eyes dodged, and she stared at Wutong with a frightened and guarded face.
In fact, she was a little afraid of this maid, after all, as the person next to Concubine He, she was ruthless in her moves.
At this time, Shen Ruoxiao, who was secretly in the dark, glanced at Xuanyuan Hao, and said that the romantic debts could not be provoked, and now she had to take care of these women personally.
"It's all a mess you threw down!"
Xuanyuan Hao on the side spread his hands and shrugged helplessly.
But he can't be blamed for this, who knows what these women think!
However, seeing that Shen Ruoxiao was so concerned about his affairs, he was quite happy.
He couldn't help but lean his body towards Shen Ruoxiao, and grinned at Shen Ruoxiao a little sticky.
Shen Ruoxiao dodged aside in disgust, deliberately widening the distance between her and Xuanyuan Hao, but unexpectedly, her body was taken into Xuanyuan Hao's arms by force.
"Get closer to this king, be careful that something happens later, this king can't reach you."
The corners of Shen Ruoxiao's mouth twitched, not to mention that the palace was so heavily guarded, what danger could the two women in front of him have?
Just when the two of them raised their eyebrows at each other, a loud shout suddenly came from outside.
"If you want to eat, you will eat, what so much nonsense!"
Wutong looked at Concubine Hu's hesitant appearance, and impatiently pushed the dishes and chopsticks to the side of Concubine Hu, and even the soup spilled on Concubine Hu's clothes.
She didn't want to be implicated in this matter and be punished by her master again.
Shen Ruoxiao frowned when he saw this scene, and said that it also depends on the owner to beat the dog, it seems that this sentence is not unreasonable.
I saw that Concubine Hu was submissive, pretending to be very scared and put a mouthful of rice into her mouth, and then took advantage of Wutong's inattention, and hurriedly spit out the rice in her mouth into the grass.
"This concubine doesn't look stupid." Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but sigh.
In the case that the maid is watching so closely, Concubine Hu can still play tricks, it seems that this woman is not simple.
"The food is so delicious, please ask the girl to thank the concubine for me." Concubine Hu's hand trembled and said in a low voice.
Wutong looked at Concubine Hu coldly, was ruthless, got up and looked down at Concubine Hu.
"My master asked me to tell you that she has the final say in this palace, so whether you live or die, my side concubine doesn't care, but you must have stayed enough in Qingqiu Courtyard, and my side concubine also pities you."
"Yes, yes, I'm worried about the concubine."
Wutong is also a cautious person, watching Concubine Hu eat the meal one bite at a time, before putting away the trays and bowls and taking them all, leaving no trace.
Concubine Hu frowned, raised her eyes and looked at the place where Shen Ruoxiao and the others were hiding, and there was some hope in her eyes.
Hopefully they don't break their word, she doesn't want to stay in this place anymore.
Suddenly, Concubine Hu's eyes rolled, she fell vertically to the ground and snorted and convulsed, and her whole face turned pale.
"This ...... This meal...... Yes...... Poisonous! ”
She stared at the beads of her eyes, her fingers clawed in the direction of the sycamore, her face was hideous and terrifying, and it took a while to close her eyes and remain motionless.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wutong's mouth, who had not gone far, and he glanced at Concubine Hu on the ground, his scalp was stunned for a while, and he turned around and hurriedly ran back.
Back in Concubine He's courtyard, Wutong was nervous, she covered her wheezing chest and swallowed her saliva.
"Master, Concubine Hu has taken care of it."
"Really? Did she really die of poisoning? Concubine He excitedly grabbed Wutong's arm. Love Book House
Wutong was in pain, twisted his arm slightly, and then nodded.
"The slave and maid are not mistaken, they did see Concubine Hu lying on the ground and convulsing, and then she didn't move before she came back to tell her master."
"Let's go see this slut."
Concubine He was proud, and took a group of maids to Qingqiu Courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she was stunned.
"Wang ...... Lord, why are you here? ”
"Should this be the king who asked you?" Xuanyuan Hao's starry eyes cast a cold glow, and he saw that Concubine He was weak for a while.
"Lord, the concubine came here today to enjoy the scenery all the way, and unconsciously came to this place."
"Oh?"
Shen Ruoxiao and Xuanyuan Hao were sitting on the stone bench slowly sipping tea, while Concubine Hu stood quietly aside.
They had already heard Concubine He's laughter, and Shen Ruoxiao said with a smile: "This Concubine He is really bold, and I don't know if it is the result of the prince's usual connivance, which causes her to be so presumptuous now." ”
Xuanyuan Hao looked at the pastries on the plate, picked up a piece and put it to Shen Ruoxiao's mouth, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he looked careless.
"With the princess here, these rabble in the palace will definitely not be able to enter the eyes of this king."
"Oily Tone!" Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Ruoxiao took a bite of the pastry handed over.
The concubine behind her looked at this scene and felt very uncomfortable, but she was soon relieved.
She wanted to marry into the palace, all she wanted was a peaceful life, where would she think that she could get Xuanyuan Hao's exclusive favor, but the woman in front of her did it.
She didn't ask for anything else now, and she was thankful that she could get out of here.
When Concubine He's gaze moved to Concubine Hu behind Shen Ruoxiao, the whole person couldn't help but take a few steps back, and her smile was miserable.
She...... How is she still alive?
I saw Shen Ruoxiao say with a smile: "Today's Qingqiu Courtyard is really lively, even Concubine He came to see the scenery?" ”
When Concubine He saw the affectionate appearance of Shen Ruoxiao and the others, she went crazy with jealousy.
"Naturally, it is not a good blessing to get up without the princess, and the prince is with you." Concubine He said with a cold snort.
"Concubine Fang, what are you talking about?" Xuanyuan Hao was very dissatisfied with Concubine He's attitude.
"Lord, the concubine misses you so much, I haven't seen you for a long time." Concubine He shouted coquettishly, and the voice made people tingle.
Concubine He wanted to get close to Xuanyuan Hao as she spoke, but she was dodged by Xuanyuan Hao, and Concubine He pounced, and her hatred for Shen Ruoxiao deepened.
"This king came to Qingqiu Courtyard today to save Concubine Hu, I don't know what advice the concubine has, this poison is still rare."
Concubine He couldn't help but look nervous when she saw Concubine Hu standing behind her, and she shook her head pretending to be innocent.
"Lord Wang...... What do you say? Why didn't the concubine understand a word! ”
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao hid his face and chuckled, and deliberately glanced at Concubine He who was lying on the table next to her.
"Concubine He, don't pretend anymore, the prince already knows what you do, if you don't know, you can't do it unless you do!"
This made Concubine He, who was already jealous of Shen Ruoxiao, finally collapse the string in her heart, and she asked sharply: "Are you guys joining forces to trick me?" What if it's the poison of this side concubine, a small concubine room, this side concubine is willing to notice her, which is her blessing. ”
"Tut-tut...... Are you right? Shen Ruoxiao said coldly.
Unexpectedly, Concubine He was bare-eyed, reached out and grabbed Shen Ruoxiao's shoulders, glaring angrily.
"Was this your idea? Deliberately luring me to the bait? ”
Shen Ruoxiao reached out and twisted Concubine He's wrist vigorously, forcing her to let go of the hand that was gripping her shoulder.
"If you don't have these evil intentions, how can you be trapped?"
"It's not your turn to take care of the affairs of this side concubine!" Concubine He looked resentful and grinned at Shen Ruoxiao.
Shen Ruoxiao directly shook his hand and threw Concubine He to the ground, and immediately showed the momentum of being the housewife.
"Since I am the princess of this palace, I naturally want to solve problems for the prince and dispel his worries, shouldn't the princess of this backyard take care of it?"
"Princess? Are you worthy to be a princess too? This princess position should have been mine, all because of you, a slut. Concubine He sneered.
As soon as Concubine He's words fell, she was slapped on the face, and five marks were clearly imprinted on his face, and she looked at Shen Ruoxiao in disbelief.
"You beat me!" Concubine He shouted hoarsely.
"I beat you because you were disrespectful and didn't take me as a princess in your eyes, and secondly, you disregarded people's lives and lost the face of the palace."
Shen Ruoxiao looked at Concubine He with disdain, her heart trembled, and her eyes became more and more fierce when she looked at Concubine He.
She never put Concubine He in her eyes, but she didn't expect Concubine He to be so vicious, today she is Concubine Hu, I am afraid that tomorrow this poison will be in her bowl.
"On what basis do you teach me? Even the prince never said a word, when will it be your turn to take charge of this palace? Concubine He still said without giving up.
She turned her eyes to look at Xuanyuan Hao, but found that Xuanyuan Hao didn't take her seriously at all.
"Lord, you have something to say." Concubine He asked a little nervously.
When Xuanyuan Hao found that Shen Ruoxiao was looking at her, the corners of his mouth squirmed unhappily twice, and then he turned his gaze to Concubine He.
