Chapter 775: Reaping the Consequences
Xia Yinhuan knew that she was just finding a staircase for herself, but she just took pity on the girl who did things for her, and now I am afraid that the corpse has become a handful of ashes.
Concubine Xiang has always done things neatly and neatly, and I think I heard Liuli say that Concubine Xiang had taken people's lives and killed a slave before she came to Fengle Palace.
I'm afraid that for her, killing a person is nothing at all, it can only be said to remove stumbling blocks.
"Mother, it's serious to say this. The slave maid is just a palace maid, and it is also to blame that the slave maid did not explain clearly earlier. Xia Yinhuan said this, and looked at Ling'er intentionally or unintentionally.
She remembered that Ling'er was clearly taking the guards as thieves and taking stolen goods at that time, and she was prepared to go, even if everything was really wronged by other palace maids, she didn't even have time to say a word more.
Concubine Xiang didn't have much to say, there was nothing to say between her and Xia Yinhuan, and her slightly lowered eyes had already regarded her as a dead person.
"This cup of tea, this palace should be regarded as an atonement, and I will give you a cup." Concubine Xiang picked up the wine glass on the table and shook it, and then raised it to Xia Yinhuan.
She is allergic to alcohol, Xia Yinhuan knows this, and Concubine Xiang herself understands that those who can replace wine with tea at this time have replaced them with tea.
Xia Yinhuan was noncommittal, and watched Concubine Xiang raise her head and cover her mouth with her sleeves and swallow a glass of wine, she also picked up the wine glass and held it in her hand, looked at the clear and clear wine in the blue-green enamel ceramic cup, leaned to the tip of her nose and smelled it, only to smell the faint smell of wine mixed with flowers.
After Concubine Xiang drank it, it should be Xia Yinhuan who drank it, she glanced at Concubine Xiang and then looked at Ling'er, Concubine Xiang's expression was as usual, still smiling lightly, until Ling'er watched her pick up the wine glass, and her expression was obviously abnormal.
As if he had seen something terrifying, and as if he was expecting something, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, his eyes widened, and he glanced at Ling'er's thoughts.
Xia Yinhuan is not a fool, she can see at a glance what Ling'er is thinking, but she does not hesitate to bring the wine to her lips and cover the corners of her mouth with wide sleeves.
Lowering his eyes slightly, he hid under his sleeves in addition to his mouth and hands, quietly took out the silk silk from his sleeve pocket, and poured a glass of sake on the silk silk.
When the wine was all soaked with silk, she quietly stuffed it into her sleeve pocket, touched her mouth pretendedly, and licked the corners of her mouth without any image, put the wine glass on the table with a 'bang', and said: "Concubine Xiang's wine is really delicious, shouldn't it be a tribute from the palace?" ”
She didn't drink at all, she just talked casually to divert her attention.
Concubine Xiang saw that she had drunk all the wine, and the cup was empty, so she took a sip of the tea that reached the corner of her mouth and said, "This is the wine from the Western Regions that was sent by the worship room a few days ago. ”
Xia Yinhuan smiled faintly, she was talking nonsense casually, how could she know if what Concubine Xiang said was true or false, picked up the wine glass in her hand, held it in her hand and turned it around, looked carefully, Yu Guang had been paying attention to Ling'er, her eyes were locked on herself, and the expression on her face became nervous again.
There was something wrong with this glass of wine, her intuition told her, otherwise Ling'er would not have been looking at herself nervously, but fortunately she was smart enough to pour all the wine on the silk silk once.
It shouldn't be the usual poison, she smelled it just now, she only smelled a burst of flowers, there was no smell of poison, and she didn't know what Concubine Xiang put in her wine glass.
"Here, have another drink." Concubine Xiang said, handed Ling'er a look, Ling'er understood that she would walk to her side, pick up the wine jug on the table, and make a gesture to fill her with another glass of wine.
Xia Yinhuan's face was stunned, she only had a silk silk hidden in her sleeve pocket, where could she pretend to have a drink. Ling'er had already poured some wine into the wine glass, Xia Yinhuan hurriedly pushed her hand away and interrupted her pouring wine, and said with a sneer: "Niangniang, the slave is not suitable for drinking at the beginning of her serious illness, so forget it." ”
She wants to drink again, I'm afraid she really has to go to see King Yama, and she won't dare to come again.
Ling'er was stunned, Concubine Xiang raised her eyebrows and looked at her, I heard Jin Xing say that the imperial doctor originally said that she was going to cultivate for ten days and half a month, but now the injury is really not good.
"That's it, if you can't drink, eat more vegetables." Concubine Xiang thought that she had already drunk a glass just now, and it didn't matter if she didn't drink it.
Originally, it was planned for Ling'er to put the grain grass in the dish, but it was not appropriate to think about it, if Xia Yinhuan saw her at the banquet and saw that she didn't move her chopsticks, she would inevitably be suspicious, so she put the grain grass in her wine glass.
Xia Yinhuan looked at the delicacies in front of her, there were a lot of vegetarian dishes, and they were not greasy, so much to her taste.
She lifted the chopsticks, but put them down again, tilted her head and looked at Yang Leshi's piano music and changed it, which became "Ambush on All Sides", with undulating rhythms, subdued and frustrated, sometimes hurried, sometimes lengthy.
Xia Yinhuan couldn't help but be a little fascinated by it, and I am afraid that only Yang Musician can play such a heart-wrenching rhythm perfectly.
"Serve the vegetables, Yan'er." Concubine Xiang reminded her that she had already picked up her chopsticks and reached out to a plate of fried bamboo shoots.
Xia Yinhuan saw her holding chopsticks, her fingertips were as slender as jade, her nails were slightly shiny, and the chopsticks quickly picked up a piece of blue-green bamboo shoots in her hand and put them in a bowl, brought them to her mouth and chewed slowly.
Naturally, she also took a piece of bamboo shoot and chewed it in her mouth, which was delicious, and she couldn't help but admire: "The craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace is becoming more and more exquisite." ”
"If it's delicious, Yan'er, you can eat more." Concubine Xiang smiled lightly, and the chopsticks poked into a plate of sweet and sour tenderloin.
After a while, she almost tasted the dishes on the table, as if she was telling Xia Yinhuan clearly that there was no poison in the dishes.
Xia Yinhuan understood in her heart, and she didn't say anything, she was cautious enough, and it was not difficult for a discerning person to see that all the dishes she used were started by Concubine Xiang.
At a banquet, the two basically didn't say anything, Concubine Xiang was also half-full, took out a silk silk embroidered with mandarin ducks to wipe the corners of her mouth, frowned and glanced at Xia Yinhuan, but she was puzzled at the moment.
It was almost a quarter of an hour, but Xia Yinhuan was still eating with chopsticks, but there was no sign of poisoning, she couldn't help beckoning Ling'er to her side, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you put the grain grass in her cup?" ”
It stands to reason that in half an hour at most, she will definitely show signs of poisoning, and in less than half an hour she will die of poison.
Ling'er secretly glanced at Xia Yinhuan, she was eating the dishes while looking at Yang Leshi, how could she be a little poisoned, and she couldn't help frowning.
"The slave did put the grass in the cup, and it was quite a bit." Ling'er also wondered why she was fine.
Concubine Xiang glanced at the wine glass in front of her, and suddenly her face was as pale as paper: "Could you have put the wrong glass?" ”
"No, no!" Ling'er waved her hand again and again, how could she be so stupid, this kind of thing was done with extra care, and it was impossible to make a mistake.
Seeing Ling'er's nervous appearance, Concubine Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and she herself did not feel poisoned, Ling'er's words should be right.
"Wait a little longer." Concubine Xiang whispered, flicking her hand to signal Ling'er to retreat, she didn't believe that Gu Xuncao couldn't let Xia Yinhuan die.
But this time it was another quarter of an hour, and the food on the table was cold, Xia Yinhuan had already put down his chopsticks and focused on Yang Leshi's performance wholeheartedly.
Concubine Fang Cai and Ling'er whispered to her, and she was even more sure that there was something wrong with her glass of wine, and she couldn't secretly congratulate herself on her wit.
What were the two of them talking about Xia Yinhuan didn't pay much attention to, at this time he stood up and stretched, it was time to withdraw when he was full of wine and food, so he arched his hand to Concubine Xiang and said: "Thank you Niangniang for your kindness, it's not too early, and the slave will retire first." ”
After that, she raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Xiang, only to see a panicked look flashing in her eyes, and hurriedly stood up and stopped: "It's better to sit for a while." ”
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes and instructed Ling'er: "Go, take down the dishes and bring some pastries." ”
"Niangniang is so affectionate, but Yan'er is disrespectful, but Yan'er wants to go out for a walk, I don't know if Niangniang agrees?" She also had a silk silk soaked in poisonous liquor in her sleeve pocket, and the skin rubbing against her wrist was extremely uncomfortable, and she had to find a reason to throw it away.
Concubine Xiang immediately agreed: "Okay, then you go for a walk." ”
Xia Yinhuan calmly walked out of the gate of the palace, and Concubine Xiang was extremely irritable when she listened to the song "Mountains and Flowing Water", waved her hand to let Gong Le retreat, and dismissed the maids who were waiting in the palace.
At this time, only she and Ling'er were left in the hall, and at the moment they were cold, staring at Ling'er and asking in a calm tone, "Why isn't she dead yet?" ”
In her plan, Xia Yinhuan had already become a corpse at this time, and she could still swim alive in front of her, looking like a dragon and a tiger.
"The slave doesn't know." Ling'er lowered her head in panic and replied, she didn't understand what was going on at all, the person who was obviously poisoned and died was safe and sound at the moment.
Concubine Xiang took a deep breath and stared at Ling'er with anger, she didn't know what went wrong in her plan, but blaming Ling'er was useless.
His eyes fell on Xia Yinhuan's cup, and there was still a little wine in the ceramic wine glass: "Bring the wine glass." ”
She wanted to see if there was any cat in the cup, if she really took the wrong cup, or if there was no grain grass in the cup at all.
Ling'er agreed, hurriedly walked to Xia Yinhuan's seat, and brought the cup on the table to Concubine Xiang. Concubine Xiang took the cup in her hand, rubbed the blue-green enamel, looked at the wine in the cup, and immediately picked up the cup and approached the edge of the cup.
"Niangniang, what are you doing?" When Ling'er saw this scene, she exclaimed, and hurriedly snatched the cup from Concubine Xiang's hand, and was terrified.
Concubine Xiang dodged her movements, glanced at the fussed Ling'er obliquely, and said, "This palace just wants to see if this wine is poisonous." ”
Seeing that the fear on Ling'er's face had not dissipated, she continued to add, as if to comfort Ling'er: "She's okay after drinking, what can happen in this palace?" Hongu just wanted to make sure that there was no grain grass in this wine at all! ”
She remembers that when she was a child, her father showed her the herb, and her father knew some medical skills, and he had been exposed to it since he was a child, so he would know the toxicity of the herb.
Ling'er had a long mouth, but what she wanted to say was like a fish thorn in her throat, she concluded that she had indeed put the grass in Xia Yinhuan's cup, and she could cut off the porcelain glaze with a knife to distinguish which one was her cup.
Obviously she was not mistaken, and she didn't know why Xia Yinhuan was not poisoned, when she hesitated, Concubine Xiang had already picked up the cup and put it on her lips, and her bright red lips had imprinted a crimson lip print on the edge of the cup.
Just a little wine, less than a sip, a light sip to see the bottom, Concubine Xiang put down the cup, looked at the cup and still couldn't find the slightest abnormality, so let Ling'er remove all the things on the table.
The little wine she drank was like drinking boiled water, she was more and more sure that there was no poison in the cup, her eyebrows were tightly twisted, and she was angry at the moment, and she could only find another way to get rid of Xia Yinhuan.
