Chapter 37: A Cup of Poisoned Wine
||->-> Volume 2 Drama Princes Chapter 37 A Cup of Poisoned Wine
Huaxi smoke behind the screen, holding the bamboo in his hand, slowly tapping the strings. Her beautiful eyes are half-closed, and the smile on her face is gentle, but her eyes are clear and not half confused. It can be seen that she has created a very beautiful artistic conception, which makes everyone confused for a while, but she is extremely clear and jumps out of that artistic conception.
She could clearly feel a fiery gaze coming from outside, because the hatred and unwillingness were too strong. Even if she wanted to pretend not to know, she still seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
The incense is gone, the sound of the piano is gone, just like the night on the river, the tranquility replaces the hustle and bustle, and returns to the quiet and tranquil lakeside evening scene. But the scene of rowing back to the boat, without the agitation of the waves, is still vivid in front of people's eyes.
""Fishing Boat Singing Night", it's ugly!"
It wasn't until a clear voice sounded that everyone suddenly came back to their senses, and when they saw the woman standing in the center of the flower hall, their expressions were inexplicable.
The music played by those more than 100 strings was really very different from the ordinary lyre, and I really couldn't imagine that this woman had such exquisite skills.
"Sister Hua, it's so amazing!" Yang Jinrong ran to Hua Xiyan's side with great enthusiasm, and said with a bright smile, that expression was as if she was the performer.
Hua Xiyan smiled lightly, but when he passed by Xie Yan's side, he paused.
"I'm just mediocre in my skills, but it's hard to compare with Xie **, I wonder if Xie ** can let you see what the real everyone is?"
The look on Xie Yan's face flashed with contempt, she knew that Hua Xiyan's words were not evil words. In all fairness, Huaxi Yan's performance is mostly fresh for onlookers, so it is naturally good. If it is for the dulcimer, the heat is still a lot worse. At least with her, it's definitely not at the same level.
"You're really ugly!" Xie Yan stared at Hua Xiyan, tugging at the corners of her mouth and spitting out such a sentence.
Hua Xiyan blinked, and a glazed pomegranate flower on her sideburns lined her face, bright and moving: "I hope thank you for your advice!" ”
Xie Yan stared at Hua Xiyan coldly, then snorted lightly, raised her sleeves and walked towards the screen.
Hua Xiyan looked at her colorful and luxurious back, and a light smile appeared on her lips.
"Sister Hua, are you tired? Come and sit! Yang Jinrong held Huaxi cigarette and walked affectionately towards the seat on the side.
Hua Xiyan didn't move, just clapped his hand and gestured upward.
She likes Yang Jinrong very much. Because she has innocence and goodness in her that she does not have. The kind of purity and purity that is not infected by the outside world and always maintains her heart is something that she can not hope for in her past and present lives. In the past life, she was crawling in the shopping mall, and in this life she is camping in hatred, no matter which one she is, she has long been infected by the helpless reality of society and reality. The so-called original heart can't be found again.
So she couldn't bear to refuse all of Yang Jinrong's proposals. The eagerness and anticipation in her eyes are unreservedly displayed in front of her every time, making everything she wants to be seen at a glance. Hold back any objection from Hua Xiyan in his throat.
But now on this occasion, naturally not. This is a banquet held by the Wang family for her, and she should sit in the position of the head of the host, not here.
Yang Jinrong naturally understood what Hua Xiyan meant, so he let go of his hand and blinked to show his understanding.
Before Hua Xiyan could move, Wen Mei walked over, holding a tray in her hand, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "The song played by Wang Er** is really heavenly!" ”
There are three luminous cups in the tray, carved from the finest jasper, with intricate patterns engraved on the bottom of the cups. The rim of the cup is finely polished and thin, just right for a woman's cherry lips.
"What kind of wine is this?" Yang Jinrong saw that the wine in the cup was clear and clear, and the surrounding blue waves were sparkling, which was extremely moving, so he couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and watch it carefully.
"Jade elixir." Wen Mei replied, with an undisguised look of pride in her voice.
Huaxi smoke naturally has also heard of the jade elixir, according to legend, it is brewed by a master outside the world, it is pressed by the petals of a hundred flowers with internal force, extremely mellow and extremely sweet, the wine is not intoxicating and the floral fragrance is strong, and the aftertaste is left in the mouth for three days after drinking. The world then chased after each other, just to be lucky enough to have a taste.
I didn't expect that the Wang family would use this jade elixir to entertain guests today, what a luxury this should be!
"It's actually a jade elixir!" Yang Jinrong exclaimed, and couldn't help but taste it, but just thought that Wen Mei brought it to Huaxi Yan, so he sighed, handed the quilt in his hand to Hua Xiyan, and took another cup for himself.
Can't wait, Yang Jinrong drank the cup of bath liquid, licked the corners of his mouth unsatisfied, and sighed: "It's really worthy of the name!" ”
Hua Xiyan watched the sake in the cup sparkle in the sun, reflecting her quiet beautiful eyes.
"Wang Er** thinks, you and Xie**, who is better?" Wen Mei also drank the wine in the cup, and suddenly asked out loud.
"Xie ** is extremely talented, I naturally don't dare to compare with it." Hua Xiyan said a very modest and polite sentence softly, and he could no longer hold back the fragrant wine**.
Unexpectedly, suddenly a person came from behind and bumped into Hua Xiyan's shoulder. She shook her body, and all the wine in the glass poured out, and there was not a drop left.
Hua Xiyan frowned, turned his head to look at the reckless person, but after seeing the person clearly, he looked stunned.
"Fourth brother?"
The person in front of him who has a somewhat blurred look in his eyes, and his whole body is shaking, who is it not Wang Jin?
"Second sister......" Wang Jin squinted, as if he recognized who the person in front of him was, he burped, and grabbed Huaxi Yan, "Here...... Belch...... What to do, go up and sit...... Ah......h
After that, he couldn't help the branch, and pulled Hua Xiyan towards the top position.
Hua Xiyan was a little speechless, thinking that this banquet had just begun, why did this person drink like this?
But when he turned his head, he found that although Wang Jin's steps were a little staggering, his eyes were clear, and he didn't have half of the misty state just now.
Sure enough, Wang Jin did not let Hua Xiyan sit in his original position, but found a place behind everyone in the Wang family and sat down casually.
"Fourth brother, just ......"
Wang Jin looked at Hua Xiyan, pursed his lips slightly, the expression on his face was extremely serious, and his tone was a little dignified: "There is a problem with that wine." ”
Hua Xiyan was stunned, and suddenly didn't know what to do or say.
"Second sister should believe that I am not mistaken." Wang Jin sighed and continued, "I was not far away, and I happened to see a layer of phosphorescent on the surface of the wine, and it also had a light silver color, I am very sure, it is phosphorus poison. ”
Although phosphorus poison is not like arsenic, it is a huge poison that seals the throat with blood, but the poisoned person will die in less than three hours, and it is really unthinkable that someone will attack her in public.
Looking from afar, Hua Xiyan could still see Wen Mei's somewhat uneasy face, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "I can't imagine that she is so breathless!" ”
Wang Jin naturally knew who Hua Xiyan was talking about, and looked at her eyes, and a dark look flashed on her handsome face: "If the wine is printed by the second sister, after three hours, all the people in charge of meals in this flower hall will be suspicious, and naturally they can't find her, and it's no wonder that she is in danger." ”
Huaxi Yan lowered his eyes. She has always been a person who doesn't offend me, I don't offend anyone, but this Wen Mei has repeatedly provoked, first just now, a burst of instigation, let her go to the dulcimer, in a targeted position, and now she has directly hit her with the idea! If she continues to respond like this without saying a word, will this person continue to work harder in the future?
Thinking that Wen Mei had just come to invite herself to drink with a wine glass, Hua Xiyan instantly understood a truth - nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!
She stole it, but her life!
Thinking of this, Hua Xiyan's face was extremely cold, and his eyes were like the ice that was widely knotted on the surface of the lake in winter, which lasted for a long time. She pursed her lips slightly, and against the backdrop of the golden step, her beautiful eyes suddenly showed a bright and breathtaking brilliance!
She said a few words at Wang Jin, and then slowly walked down the jade steps.
When Yang Jinrong saw Hua Xiyan coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and asked with concern, "Is the fourth prince okay?" ”
"It's okay, but it's just greedy." Hua Xiyan said with a smile and sat down beside Yang Jinrong.
She turned her head to look at Wen Mei on her left, and said softly: "I just gave up my brother and was ignorant, but it's a pity that Wen Da**'s cup of good wine!" ”
Wen Mei's face flashed a touch of discomfort, and she couldn't help but say a little sneeringly: "Where is this, after the wine, Wang Er** will have as much as he wants, so naturally he won't care about that glass." ”
After that, Wen Mei didn't overdo it, and didn't dare to look at Hua Xiyan with a little weakness.
Hua Xiyan turned his eyes to look at the screen, after this small episode just now, Xie Yan's song seemed to have entered **, and people were once again introduced by Xie Yan into a broad and empty artistic conception. The smooth and euphemistic tune had caught people's minds tightly, so no one had just noticed a small episode of a few people here.
Hua Xiyan picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it slowly, as if he was not moved by the beautiful sound of the piano.
When I arrived at the place where the love began, the beautiful sound of the piano stopped abruptly, as if an ink painting had been choked at a critical moment, and there was no more follow-up.
The people who were intoxicated were like being poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and a stirring spirit came back to their senses and looked at each other, not knowing what was in front of them.
After a while, I saw a maidservant go and withdraw the screen, revealing Xie Yan's ugly face.
And in front of her, it was the dulcimer with a few strings.
Xie Yan lowered her head slightly, looking at the dulcimer in front of her, her expression was inexplicable, but there was a panic in her heart.
"Thank you, but it's okay?" Hua Xiyan suddenly asked softly with concern.
Xie Yan raised her head suddenly, stared at Hua Xiyan with cracked eyes, and suddenly slapped the body of the piano and stood up suddenly.
Unexpectedly, in an instant, thousands of silver needles as thin as cow's hair shot out in the direction of Huaxi Yan, like a thousand snows, shrouded in a piece of silver light and shadow. But every burst of that one burst contained the momentum of thunder, with the breath of breaking bamboo that can penetrate everything, and it approached the Huaxi Smoke Gate!
