Chapter 36: The Man Who Poisoned the Poisoner
Looking at his angry eyes, Xia Zhixue softened her tone: "Lord Wang, my life is thin, I have no mother when I urinate, others look at me as the daughter of the Hou Mansion, the scenery is infinite, only I know in my heart, I am just begging for life in the Hou Mansion, where is there any happiness or unhappy."
Ouyang Huaiyu was angry at Xia Zhixue's defense, put one hand on the cuff of the other hand, stroked the embroidery trim on his head, and went back and forth, before he softened slightly: "Why are you guarding against me in every way, Xia Zhixue, I think you and I are just the same kind of people."
The face is chic, ignorant of the world, and eats small losses and big losses, but in fact, his heart is full of anger and all kinds of strategies.
Xia Zhixue smiled slightly, shook her head, and looked at the person on the throne with a pair of clear eyes: "Lord Wang, these days with you, I know that you have a lot of strategies in your heart, playing with the world and applauding." I'm different, I'm a woman, and I can only protect myself. ”
After taking revenge, her hands were no longer clean. Closing her eyes, she turned her head to look at Rouyi, who was still quite pure now, she only hoped that in the days when she would sink to the lower limit in the future, someone would hold her for years, and she would not be allowed to fall, and she would not be allowed to die.
……
"What are you panicking about?" Xia Zhiqiu glanced at the panicked Xiao Tao, and took the handkerchief in his hand to play: "I told you something, have you done it?"
"Yes," the reprimanded little man craned his neck, not daring to say anything.
This maid is Princess Laiyang has a body, while the prince is happy, she begged for a lottery, and went to the human teeth to personally select, but thirteen years old, she smiled bravely, fortunately, she was clever and loyal.
Xia Zhiqiu frowned: "How many times have I taught you, don't panic in doing things, why can't you remember?"
Xiao Taotou lowered his head deeper: "The slave knows her mistakes."
"Okay," Xia Zhiqiu said, "Let's go down."
"Yes."
When the little girl's figure was completely gone, Xia Zhiqiu showed a sly smile.
Xia Zhixue, I see how you escaped from the palm of my hand this time, and Uncle Zhong, you old immortal, I will avenge the humiliation.
"The third sister is happy to see today" At the dinner table, Xia Zhiqiu sandwiched a lotus root and said without squinting.
Xia Zhixue subconsciously touched her face. Did she smile? Where did she tell she was happy?
But how did she dine with her today? On weekdays, I go to look for the prince.
Looking at her puzzled look, Xia Zhiqiu sneered in his heart, I will see that you still need to eat for a while.
The two of them finished dinner with less than a stick of incense, and before Xia Zhiqiu left his seat, he carried Xia Zhixue behind his back and hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Three watches.
"Girl," Xia Zhixue was dizzy in her sleep, and someone pushed her in a trance, and when she opened her eyes with difficulty, she saw Lotus holding her coat in her hand, with an anxious face: "Wake up, girl, the one in Furong Garden is dying."
"What?" Suddenly sleepy, Xia Zhixue hurriedly stood up: "What's the matter?" Isn't it okay at night? ”
"But what about it, I look at people as if they are sick, and someone over there comes to report that they have been poisoned." The lotus served her dressing.
The two did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly ran out.
When Xia Zhixue arrived with her skirt, Xia Zhiqiu's face was already blue and her lips were pale.
Ouyang Huaiyu had already ordered Hua Cheng to ask for a doctor, and at this moment he was looking at the person on the bed with a frown.
"Sister?" Xia Zhixue walked over lightly and called Xia Zhiqiu softly.
No one answered, and the people on the bed still had their eyes closed, their hands and feet trembling slightly, and after a while, their lips slowly turned purple.
But a quarter of an hour later, the Imperial Doctor hurried over and retreated.
"What's wrong with her?" As soon as the imperial doctor came out, Ouyang Huaiyu went up to ask.
The imperial doctor knew that the prince was in a hurry, and he didn't beat around the bush: "The girl is poisoned."
"Poisoned? How can a good one be poisoned? Xia Zhixue asked aloud on the side.
"Girl, I have been practicing medicine for decades, and the people who have seen it say that there are not 10,000 but 8,000, do you take the old man in your eyes?" The man glared at Xia Zhixue.
Ouyang Huaiyu walked between the two of them, turned around and instructed Hua Cheng: "Take the third lady down to rest, she can't help here." ”
"Slow down," the imperial doctor stroked his beard, bypassed Ouyang Huaiyu, and looked straight at Xia Zhixue: "The old man dared to ask, is the girl's dinner with the girl inside?"
"Yes."
"Is the bowl for dinner still there?"
Xiao Tao, who was waiting on the side, stepped forward and replied: "After dinner, the girl said that she had eaten too much and her stomach was uncomfortable, and she asked the slave and maid to accompany her to consume food, and the slave and maid followed, and she didn't have time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks."
"In this way, I will take the old man to have a look."
"Yes, please come with me."
Seeing that Xiao Tao had already led people to the place where dinner was served, Ouyang Huaiyu glanced at Xia Zhixue deeply and took Hua Cheng to follow.
"Idiot." Zhu lips opened lightly, and Xia Zhixue spoke slowly.
Lotus handed her the soup woman who had just been hurriedly poured into her, and tightened her coat again: "The weather is cold, the girl should not catch a cold."
raised his eyes and glanced at the backs of several people leaving one after the other, and chuckled: "The master is a smart person, but this girl is not on the road, and a few words are exposed." Xia Zhixue patted the lotus's hand, and the girl cleverly accepted the order, nodded slightly, and turned back to the house.
Xia Zhixue stood outside the house, looking at the closed door, her eyes were slightly cold, and her jade hands were clenched together under her sleeve robe.
……
Inside the kitchenette.
"Lord Wang," the imperial doctor knelt on the ground, and raised a gilded porcelain bowl to the top of his head with both hands: "I have already seen that the residue in this bowl of Miss Zhiqiu contains a small amount of toxicity."
The silver needle in Xiao Tao's hand was slightly blackened.
Ouyang Huaiyu snatched the porcelain bowl and smashed it to the ground, his eyebrows flew, and his eyes burst into flames: "Check it for me!" All the people who cook in the kitchen tonight have called me, and this king will interrogate them one by one. ”
Hua Cheng said, "Yes."
A moment later, the lights were lit in the palace compound, and the people who knelt in half of the courtyard knelt down.
"Miss Hou's dinner is poisonous, let's say, which of you did something in it? At this time, I admit it, and this king will leave you a cheap life. ”
Ouyang Huaiyu sat in the courtyard, with Huazhong standing on the left and Xia Zhixue sitting on the right back.
Here's a lot of gossip:
"What? Miss Hou Fu was poisoned? What's going on? ”
"I don't know!"
Seeing that the prince's patience had reached the extreme, Hua Cheng scolded loudly: "Quiet, what are you arguing about!"
There was silence below.
"Lord Wang, the slave has something to report." Xiao Tao timidly stood up.
Xia Zhixue, who was watching coldly, hooked the corners of her lips, and raised a willow eyebrow slightly, which was somewhat similar to Ouyang Huaiyu's expression.
"Say."
Xiao Tao's voice was like a mosquito: "Today, when the slave maid served the food, there was one less, and when I hurriedly served it, I was ...... I actually saw ......" glanced at Xia Zhixue, as if he didn't dare to say it.
A slap on the table, the teacup lid on it jumped a few times: "Say!"
Ouyang Huaiyu was not angry and arrogant, and scared Xiao Tao so much that her tears broke the thread, and she knelt on the ground with a "plop": "The slave saw that the third lady was putting something into the girl's bowl and didn't know what to add!"
