Chapter 317: Poison

At the moment when Peony turned around, what was hidden in her eyes was endless grief and resentment.

For Peony, the word "home" had already parted ways with this word as early as when she left Fengcheng, Liu Yuanwai ruthlessly denied her, and was forcibly occupied by Chu Batian.

and the identity of "Liu Ruyan" was also completely broken.

It is like a hidden disease on the peony's body, reverse scales, invisible, but there is always a feeling, no feeling existence, a touch of it hurts the heart.

Zhao Wenlu was surprised by Peony's reaction, every time she mentioned her family, she prevaricated intentionally or unintentionally, and every time she was so right that she interrupted his interrogation.

"How can there be no one? This king hasn't heard you mention that you are orphans, have you? Zhao Wenlu couldn't help frowning, feeling that a layer of mystery was shrouded in peony's body.

"They are all countrymen, and they are afraid that if they say it, they will insult the prince." Peony turned around awkwardly and smiled at Zhao Wenlu.

"Since this king can accept you, he will definitely be able to accept your forehead, tell this king where they are, good sister, they come to live a comfortable life, and they don't have to work hard."

Zhao Wenlu looked at Peony's spitting appearance, and always felt that she had something to hide herself, and remembering the incident where she was hunted down and killed before, it made him even more suspicious and cautious.

"Okay, I'll pick them up another day. "Peony had no choice but to agree, using physical discomfort to excuse herself.......

"Okay, just like you are now, your parents are also taking care of you by your side."

Zhao Wenlu helped Peony back to her house, she just responded to Zhao Wenlu with a smile and a word, and she was secretly desolate in her heart.

Looking at Peony's lowered eyebrows, Zhao Wenlu was shocked, he sent Peony back to the house, and asked the maids around him to serve him well, so he excused himself and left.

In the past, if she saw Zhao Wenlu leaving, Peony would definitely try her best to keep him, but at this time, she was looking forward to Zhao Wenlu leaving.

She herself didn't know if Zhao Wenlu stayed for a moment longer and asked again, would she be able to face it so indifferently.

After Zhao Wenlu left, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he arranged for the close guards around him to secretly watch Peony and investigate her previous affairs.

The shadows are sparse and oblique, mottled and scattered.

The wind in the street blew faintly on his face, shaking the branches of the trees on the wall next door, and the branches and leaves rattled in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, a year is coming to an end.

Shen Caiyi sat on a low stool in the courtyard, looking at the leaves rolling around on the ground and having nowhere to place, just like her fluttering in the wind.

Looking up at the four directions, I felt that hope was right in front of me, but I couldn't reach out and touch it. Dongfang Yi's love is like the red sun on the horizon for Shen Caiyi, and it is unattainable.

To watch Nalan Jin's body get better day by day, Shen Caiyi also shared a lot of money from Lang Zhong, which should be a good thing for her.

However, Shen Caiyi frowned, when Nalan Jin was sick, at least she had a reason to visit, so that she could still see Dongfang Yi

, say a heart-warming flower.

But as soon as Nalan Jin's body was good, Dongfang Yi's mind was all on her heart. Even if Shen Caiyi used an excuse to visit Nalan Jin, Dongfang Yi would not have Shen Caiyi's shadow in his eyes at all.

His gaze didn't leave Nalan Jin for a moment.

This made Shen Caiyi suddenly feel that he had a sense of existence that he had finally had, and was taken away by Nalan Jin in an instant, and finally Dongfang Yi's intimacy was also destroyed by Nalan Jin.

For a moment, Shen Caiyi suddenly longed for Nalan Jin to be sick like before, although he breathed a little, he was no different from the living dead.

In this way, there will be no third party to disturb them Dongfang Yi, and she begins to cherish the sweetness of being with Dongfang Yi.

So a terrible thought slowly formed in Shen Caiyi's mind.

She put 20% of the antidote into the medicine she gave Nalan Jin, and 30% of the poison into her diet, so that Nalan Jin began to slowly poison invisibly.

"Miss's complexion looks much better today, do you want to go out for a walk?" Trull put breakfast on the table.

"There's been a lot of things going on in the workshop lately, let's go another day, what is this?" Nalan Jin straightened her hair in a bun and looked at the mirror for a long time.

"This is my uncle's preparation, saying that the young lady's body is just right, and she needs to be nourished, so she specially ordered someone to stew white fungus lotus seed porridge, full of love." Cui'er sniffed her nose as she spoke, her eyes full of envy, and she looked at Nalan Jin with a mocking tone.

Nalan Jin looked at the steaming lotus seed porridge, took a sip and put it in his mouth, which instantly warmed his whole body.

As soon as you finished drinking the porridge, Nalan Jin felt a little unwell, like weakness in her limbs that had not been rested, and she was dizzy.

This situation had happened several times before, and each time it was after eating, which made Nalan Jin's hidden illness sprout a sudden idea.

"Cui'er, use the hairpin on your head." Nalan Jin looked at the silver hairpin on Cui'er's head and said.

Cui'er looked at Nalan Jin puzzled, she was dressed in a pearl and green dress, was she interested in the worthless silver hairpin on his head?

Although he was puzzled, he still took the hairpin on his head to Nalan Jin.

Nalan Jin hesitated for a moment and the hairpin stretched into his meal, and sure enough, the hairpin turned black, just for a few seconds, it can be seen how strong the toxicity inside is.

"Miss! It's not me, it's really not me, it's my aunt who asked me to prepare, I don't know anything. Cui'er looked at the blackened hairpin, and quickly knelt on the ground in fright to explain.

Cui'er was scared and prostrate on the ground, her body kept shaking, even if she was usually greedy, she would not attract death.

Nalan Jin put the hairpin on the table and thought about it for a long time.

"It's definitely not going to be the East, it's just that this matter is a bit strange, and if you don't want to be a scapegoat, don't tell anyone about it."

Nalan Jin was resolute, and at this time, she felt that all the people around her might be poisoned, but the house was superior

With so many people, it's a little difficult to plug in, and you can't startle the snake for a while.

"Yes, miss." Cui'er replied in a trembling voice.

Nalan Jin wrinkled her eyebrows and stared at the bowl of porridge, and quietly hid it as evidence in the future. On the other hand, it is a covert investigation without a trace.

She quietly threw away the meals that were delivered every day.

A sunny morning is a rare good day. Zhao Wenlu chose this day to bring the peony into the house with a swagger.

Relying on her pregnancy, Peony swaggered to become a person who showed off her might in this house. is unimpeded in the house, and even Xiaowenlu's study can come and go freely.

One day, Peony thought that she couldn't accompany Zhao Wenlu when she was pregnant, so she thought about making something to keep his heart.

As soon as Peony and the maid walked to the door of the study, she heard the voices of several strangers inside, and she ordered the maid not to make a sound, and climbed on the door to listen for a while.

His face immediately became surprised, and he hurried away with no one with the maid, as if he had never come to the door of the study.

Later, Peony secretly investigated and found that the people who came into contact with Zhao Wenlu were some generals of the imperial court.

They discussed the affairs of the army together, and not only that, but they also had the audacity to quietly make a large number of weapons and armor in abandoned warehouses on the outskirts of the city.

Even if Peony didn't know the way of being an official in the imperial court, he should know in his heart that the matter of weapons and armor has always been coordinated by the Ministry of War.

Several of them got together to discuss, and they also conspired to build so much, Sima Zhao's heart was already obvious.

Zhao Wenlu had ambitions to usurp the throne.

also inquired that Zhao Wenlu couldn't help but win over the military generals of the imperial court, and some capable civil officials were also in his ranks.

In order to lay a stable foundation for his rebellion, Zhao Wenlu also took some capable traders in the city for his own use.

This made Peony's heart a little apprehensive, originally wanted to borrow the identity of Zhao Wenlu's prince to be a stepping stone on her road to revenge. Now she has to go to someone else's funeral.

This made Peony's heart begin to mumble.

Dongfang Yi returned to the house and found that Nalan Jin had fallen asleep early, her face was pale, her hands and feet were cold, and Nalan Jin, who had not said a word, had fallen asleep.

This reminded Dongfang Yi of when Nalan Jin was poisoned before, and the symptoms were the same as now.

He immediately woke up Nalan Jin worriedly and asked questions.

"Jin'er, are you uncomfortable somewhat? Did you take your medication on time? Dongfang Yi's swaying Nalan Jin was really a little dizzy, "No!" Cui'er, Cui'er. Hurry up and find the Lang Zhong from before. ”

Dongfang Yi was overly worried, his words were incoherent, and even his voice trembled a little.

Cui'er just stood aside and watched Dongfang Yi worry, and then silently moved her gaze to Nalan Jin's body.

Nalan Jin waved her hand to let Cui'er go down.

Dongfang Yi saw that Cui Se didn't react at all, so he shouted angrily

"Damn slave, don't you even listen to me?" Why don't you go to Lang Zhong if you go to find it! ”

Dongfang Yi was excited, if it weren't for Nalan Jin, he would probably rush up to punish Cui'er.

"Dongfang, calm down, I'm fine." Nalan Jin hugged Dongfang Yi and whispered in his ear.

This made Dongfang Yi very surprised, and he stared at Nalan Jin slowly.

It's fine, why do you want to make yourself look sick, and you have to pretend to be the same as the symptoms when you were poisoned before, to confuse the public.

"This ...... What are you doing this for? Dongfang Yi was a little irritable, and he didn't understand Nalan Jin's approach more and more.

Nalan Jin took the poisonous porridge bowl that he had hidden before to Dongfang Yi, and there was obviously a circle of blackened things around the bowl.

Dongfang Yi was surprised and wanted to reach out and touch it, but was stopped by Nalan Jin, "This is when you sent someone to send it before, and someone poisoned it inside." The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and I can only pretend to be sick to lure the murderer. ”

Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin in astonishment, and couldn't figure out for a long time, how could there be so many charming villains in this good mansion.

In anger, he decided to find someone to investigate thoroughly in private, and he must find out this person who made trouble.
