Chapter 286: Cold

"What is it?"

Yingluo whispered: "The imperial doctor didn't make it clear, anyway, it's not arsenic, and arsenic can be detected with a silver needle." I've heard that many powerful poisons can't be detected with a silver needle. But these poisons, ordinary people generally can't get their hands, and these poisons are not so easy to use, if they are as colorless and tasteless as on the stage, and the entrance person will lose his breath, then the world will not be chaotic early? ”

Liu Yan didn't know much about this kind of thing. What impressed her the most was actually the poison that killed Zhu's life the year before last, and that medicine was later said to have a smell, but because it was in the rouge, Zhu liked the strong aroma, and the rouge oil was very fragrant, so she covered the medicinal gas. Moreover, the medicine made Zhu uncomfortable after being poisoned, and he did not lose his breath immediately.

There are also some poisons, I heard that they should be mixed with wine, because compared with water, wine will cause the toxicity to disperse faster.

Liu Yan hadn't seriously pondered these things before, but she had heard a lot of things about drinking poisonous wine and dying, whether it was in the play, in the book, or some real people and real things she had heard, they were all drinking poisonous wine, and she had never heard of anyone drinking poisonous tea or poisonous soup. Probably this is the reason that Yingluo said, the faster the poison is on, and the less sinful it is.

Then again, who is idle and has nothing to do to think about this? What poison is more violent? Can it hurt more people?

Do those people spend all day thinking about these things and living happily?

As soon as the people who entered the palace to congratulate him left, Empress Cao instructed Liu Yan: "You should go back too, you are tired of disturbing you for half a day, go back and rest." After a pause, he said, "Don't walk around." ”

Liu Yan knew why Empress Cao sent her away now.

Usually she stays as long as she wants, and there is a special palace room for her to stay in Yilan Palace, where clothes and various utensils are readily available.

Obviously, Queen Cao was not at ease and reluctant to let her go, but she still wanted her to go back.

Liu Yan silently got up and saluted, but after today's events, she didn't worry about Queen Cao.

Who knows if there are still murderers lurking in the Yilan Palace? That person may have an ordinary face, mixed with a crowd of palace people or eunuchs, and look humble and timid, not at all like a person who can poison.

Empress Cao patted the back of her hand: "Be obedient, go back." ”

Liu Yan said softly.

When she walked to the palace gate, she turned her head to look, and Empress Cao urged her: "Go back quickly." ”

Gui Yuan only knew that something must have happened, so he cautiously and silently helped the princess get into the sedan chair and walked forward with the sedan chair.

I don't know when the sky was overcast, and the warm and warm sunshine in the morning seemed to be just a flash in the pan, and the wind blew her skirt up, and pressed it down with her hands, but it would turn up again with a step, and the cold wind swished from her neck, cuffs, and ankles into her clothes, and it was bitterly cold.

Gui Yuan never felt that the road from Yilan Hall to Anhe Palace was so long.

When the sedan chair passed through the Jingzhao Gate, Gui Yuan saw a group of guards walking quickly through the palace road to the west.

Their faces were as gloomy and solemn as the sky, and their steps were fast and urgent, and they were already far away when they turned their heads.

Li Shanggong had already heard the wind, and was looking in front of the palace gate to greet him, and as soon as he saw the sedan chair, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"The princess is back?"

This sentence contained more than one meaning, and Gui Yuan hurriedly replied: "The princess is back." ”

This question and answer sounds the same as usual.

But Gui Yuan's answer made Li Shanggong's heart hanging in mid-air finally fall back to reality.

"It's so cold, hurry up, help the princess into the palace."

It was too cold, and the doors and windows of the temple were closed, and the lamps and candles had been lit, otherwise the hall was too dark, and it would have been as if it were night.

Gui Yuan and Ginkgo were busy unbuttoning Liu Yan's cloak, Li Shanggong touched Liu Yan's cold hand distressedly, ordered someone to bring two more charcoal basins over, and put a smoker at Liu Yan's feet, asking her to take off her shoes and put her feet on to warm up.

Liu Yan didn't feel cold outside just now, but now he was baked by the heat, but he shivered and coughed a lot.

Li Shanggong hurriedly said: "Bring ginger tea." ”

Ginger tea has been hot on the tea stove, and it is immediately presented at the sound of an order.

Liu Yan usually doesn't like this taste the most, but today he didn't seem to feel spicy, nor did he feel how hot, so he drank it in a few sips.

When the princess didn't come back, Li Shanggong didn't worry a lot, but now that the princess is back, it seems that she is scared and frozen, and Li Shanggong's heart is steady.

As the princess grew up, she had long become the backbone of the slaves and maids in Anhe Palace, and the only one they relied on for their lives and wealth. As long as the princess is good, Li Shanggong is not afraid of anything that happens.

Later, Liu Yan remembered this day again, obviously this is the time of the New Year, and there are joys everywhere, red silk, blessing characters, Spring Festival couplets, as well as the clothes worn by everyone, and the velvet flowers on their heads, all of which are red, but the red in her memory has not been retained at all, and there is no trace left. In her impression, the palace was blue-gray on this day, just like the color of gold and iron that had been frosted, cold and heavy.

Li Shanggong didn't say anything about what happened in the palace today, and when he saw Liu Yan drinking ginger tea, his face gradually improved, so he talked about some complicated trivial matters.

During the New Year's Festival, Anhegong receives many gifts. Eating, drinking, wearing, calligraphy and painting toys, but whatever the girl may like and can use, she will send it here.

The emperor's reward, the mother's reward, there are a lot of these, and there are more from outside.

The Anhe Palace is very large, and only Liu Yan lives alone, but the Anhe Palace place is not enough, because Liu Yan's things are too many, even if those houses that don't live in people are all in the warehouse, they can't hold more things this year by year.

"The emperor asked someone to send a box of pearls over, and the slave maid saw it, all of them were round and flawless, and they were similar in size, and they made people's eyes spent." Li Shanggong said with a smile: "What kind of jewels are often said in the world, some of the beads that I usually look at are just like that, but good beads are different, there is a halo wrapped in a halo outside, if it is strung into beads and worn, it must make the princess particularly beautiful." ”

Liu Yan finally had the heart to reply to her: "Really? When was it delivered? ”

Whatever she says, just ask.

Li Shanggong said: "Today, do you want someone to take a look at the princess?" ”

Liu Yan shook his head: "No need." ”

In fact, she understood what Li Shanggong meant.

Li Shanggong was afraid that she would be scared.

But Liu Yan was not scared.

She was thinking about today's events, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was very strange.

Poisoning the tea, the amount is not too much, even if someone drinks a cup of tea, it may not be poisoned to death - at most, the poison is half dead, the poison does not work so quickly, enough for the doctor to rush to the rescue.

But everyone who enters the palace has an identity, who will let go of eating and drinking in the queen's palace? When the tea is served, it is not less to be able to drink half a cup.

It is almost impossible to poison people.

Does the person who poisoned understand this? If you understand, what is it?

Perhaps, the goal of the other side is not to poison anyone.
