Chapter 774: Hongmen Banquet
Concubine Xiang's eyes widened more and more, almost falling out of her eye sockets, she couldn't believe that Xia Yinhuan was standing in front of her at this moment.
Xia Yinhuan's original words are still ringing in her ears now, she said that she will make her regret it!
"What the hell do you want to do?" Concubine Xiang trembled and leaned back on the chair a little tighter, there was no doubt that she was afraid of Xia Yinhuan, although she pretended to be a soldier in front of Ling'er to cover up the water, in fact, she had no way to take Xia Yinhuan.
Xia Yinhuan sneered and looked at Concubine Xiang's timid color, faintly feeling a sense of revenge, raised her eyebrows, glanced at Concubine Xiang and then at Ling'er, and said in a non-salty tone: "The slave and maid have already said that Yan'er is coming back to continue to serve Niangniang, does Niangniang want Yan'er to continue to stay in Fengle Palace?" ”
Concubine Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she was not a fool, she could clearly see the ill-will in Xia Yinhuan's eyes, she treated Xia Yinhuan like that, she believed that she was coming back for revenge instead of continuing to serve her.
She thought that Xia Yinhuan would make her identity public and be a respected queen in Fengqi Palace, but things were beyond her expectations.
"If you don't fake much, will you repay the grievances with virtue?" Ling'er looked at her suspiciously, stood in front of Concubine Xiang and protected Concubine Xiang behind her, afraid that Xia Yinhuan would hurt Concubine Xiang.
When she came back this time, Xia Yinhuan didn't give the two of them a good look at her at all, glanced at the two of them, walked to the side and sat on the chair by herself, as if she was at home, she picked up the osmanthus cake on the table and threw a piece in her mouth and chewed it slowly.
Her cheeks bulged, and she slowly swallowed the osmanthus cake in her mouth before continuing: "Concubine Xiang framed me and almost killed me, and this matter has to be investigated." ”
Ling'er was furious when she heard this, and she stepped forward with her hands on her hips and was about to scold Xia Yinhuan, but she heard Xia Yinhuan say: "But I don't want to make too much trouble about this matter, as long as you show sincerity to apologize, I will expose this matter and never pursue it again." ”
She thought that this should be a very good deal, just imagine that Concubine Xiang must be terrified at the moment, she is the queen after all, if Concubine Xiang has a little brain, she will definitely agree, even if it is a delaying strategy.
"Whoever wronged you, you should come up with evidence!" Ling'er roared a little weakly, the matter of the osmanthus jade bracelet was indeed arranged by her own hands, but the only people who knew about it were her, Concubine Xiang and the slave.
Xia Yinhuan wants to clear her name, at least someone must have a witness, and she has no evidence to prove that she was wronged.
"Heh......" Xia Yinhuan sneered, his phoenix eyes were teasing, he glanced at Ling'er, whose face was swollen and red, and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite gently, with a leisurely look: "Evidence, this palace is evidence." ”
Who would believe that as a queen, she would steal Concubine Xiang's osmanthus jade bracelet, as long as she confesses her identity, Concubine Xiang and Ling'er are cocooned and self-bound, and the lie will be self-defeating.
Concubine Xiang's face sank, listening to Xia Yinhuan's tone, it seemed that she had decided to enter Fengqi Palace and restore her identity.
This is also what she is most worried about, if Xia Yinhuan wants to return to Cang Linchen's side, how can she still have a chance?
"Okay, I promise you, apologize." Concubine Xiang replied with a cold face, gritting her teeth and secretly resentful, although she was unwilling, she had to surrender to Xia Yinhuan, "What kind of apology do you want?" ”
As long as she delays time according to Xia Yinhuan's wishes, as long as she doesn't reveal her identity for a day, Concubine Xiang will have enough time to put her to death, and the temporary compromise is just forbearance.
Xia Yinhuan was slightly stunned, Concubine Xiang agreed so happily to her surprise, raised her eyebrows and pondered for a moment, her index finger knocked her chin intentionally or unintentionally and pretended to ponder: "How you apologize depends on your sincerity, no matter how you want to apologize, I will accept it."
She smiled faintly, calmly and elegantly, her already thin body was like a weak willow swaying in the wind, and she stood up and brushed the folds on her dress.
Although it is just a palace dress, she wears a different kind of elegance, a delicate body, standing there, and she will be attracted if she is not careful.
Concubine Xiang's bright eyes blinked, she thought that she couldn't be as elegant and indifferent as Xia Yinhuan, her temperament was innate, it was not about her face, not about her figure, even if someone had good facial features and a national appearance, I am afraid she would not be able to wash away the lead like her, like an empty valley orchid.
"Ling'er, you go and arrange a banquet in Fengle Palace tonight to apologize for the queen's mother." Concubine Xiang was already angry at the moment, but she hid her surging emotions very well, although there was a stubborn smile on her face, she did not show the slightest anger.
Ling'er was stunned when she heard Concubine Xiang's words, and her eyes widened as if Concubine Xiang wanted to explore the truth of her words, but she looked calm. Ling'er couldn't figure out what Concubine Xiang was thinking at this time, looked at Xia Yinhuan's provocative eyes, and retreated outside the hall with her chin bowed.
She thought that Concubine Xiang's temperament was even more anxious than her, and she had always held a grudge against Xia Yinhuan, so she would definitely not give in easily, so she would have her own plans to agree.
Xia Yinhuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked around the hall with small steps, compared with Fengqi Palace, Fengle Palace was too simple and nothing remarkable.
"If the mother is not in a hurry, she can sit down and have a cup of tea." Concubine Xiang smiled indifferently, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was quiet.
"Exactly." The corners of Xia Yinhuan's mouth pursed slightly, and she sat down again, she came prepared, and naturally she would not fall into Concubine Xiang's trap again.
Concubine Xiang shouldn't be in a hurry to do it, after all, it is not good for her to do it too early, on the contrary, she is very cautious now, and she is obviously guarding her.
Tea, but just the ordinary West Lake Longjing, nothing special, mixed with jasmine. Lihua made Xia Yin unhappy, and she lost interest after drinking two lightly.
The two were relatively silent, and after a while, Ling'er went to prepare for the dinner and came back to report, and Concubine Xiang also followed out of the palace, leaving Xia Yinhuan alone in the palace.
The dinner was set up in the side hall of Fengle Palace, and Concubine Xiang hurried out for a while, looking at a table of eight immortals, which was empty, and nothing was placed.
When Ling'er saw her enter the palace, she hurriedly closed the door of the palace, and looked at Concubine Xiang with a nervous expression: "Niangniang, what kind of ghost do you say she is fighting, the slave maid thinks that the person who came is not good." ”
Thinking about it, he wronged her and poisoned her, how could there be a good thing when she came back at this time, every time she saw Xia Yin laughing, she always felt creepy and terrifying.
Concubine Xiang glanced at her coldly, took a deep breath and said, "No matter what tricks she has in this palace, since she is back, it is an opportunity." ”
"What do you mean by ......" Ling'er didn't finish speaking, the whites of her eyes were too much, and she opened her mouth slightly in disbelief.
Concubine Xiang snorted coldly, she wanted her to give up, the impossible, she did so much, the purpose was just to hope that Cang Rin could look at her more, only from Xia Yinhuan returned to him, and heard Jin Xing say that he would go to Fengqi Palace every day, but he had never set foot in Fengle Palace.
She was so jealous that she wanted to go crazy, but she didn't dare to question him, and she didn't go out in Fengle Palace in the hope that one day, he would think that there was still a concubine waiting for his pity in Fengle Palace.
However, he only has Xia Yinhuan in his heart, and he has also figured out one thing in the past few days, as long as Xia Yinhuan does not die, what she wants will not be at her fingertips.
"You know of a place that can kill people and not be able to find out after three hours?" Concubine Xiang smiled weirdly, and her plump lips were bright red with the plum blossoms of the ordinary imperial garden.
Ling'er only felt a chill in the soles of her feet, and couldn't help but shiver. She thought that after the last lesson, Concubine Xiang would restrain herself.
Although I don't know why the emperor didn't punish Concubine Xiang, but thinking about it, Cang Rinchen will definitely not tolerate people who are not good for Xia Yinhuan, unless, Cang Rinchen may have a trace of reluctance towards Concubine Xiang.
"The slave doesn't know what kind of poison it is, mother, think twice!" Ling'er has always been cautious, and she is also for the sake of Concubine Xiang, and she is careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
Concubine Xiang disagreed, if she wanted to be careful, what year and month would it take to get rid of Xia Yinhuan, as long as she was poisoned and died accidentally, she was the only one in this palace who could solve the pain of lovesickness.
It is only a matter of time before you stay in the palace for a long time and stay by his side, and you will have feelings.
"You don't talk nonsense, go find some corn grass secretly, grind it into powder and put it in tonight's meal." She is not afraid of a thorough investigation, and when the time comes, she only needs to find a maid to be charged, and she will be safe in the future.
She still remembered when he first entered the palace, when his soul was not possessed, and he looked depressed, maybe he would regain the depression of the past.
However, as long as she is by her side, she will definitely be able to soothe his heartache and make him no longer inseparable from him.
"Yes." Ling'er hesitated and replied, although she felt that it was inappropriate to bless her blessed body, but she also knew that she could not persuade Concubine Xiang at all, just when she went all the way to the dark, no one could say whether it was a blessing or a curse.
It is highly poisonous, dissolves in water, and is absorbed in blood, spreads through the meridians, and can kill people in just half an hour.
He could only know that he was poisoned but couldn't determine which toxin it was, but he couldn't find the toxin in the food at all, Concubine Xiang thought, even if Cang Linchen wanted to avenge Xia Yinhuan, he couldn't convict him without evidence.
This is her last move, although she doesn't know why Xia Yinhuan returned, but she can't help but cherish this last opportunity, killing her in one go is the most important thing at the moment.
It was night, the sound of silk and bamboo in the Fengle Palace, the palace music and the sound of the piano and the rhythm, the rhythm was tactful, like the chirping of the nightingale converged into a melodious tune.
The person who stroked the qin was the most famous Yang musician in the palace, and I saw her sitting on the futon in a slender posture, wearing a cumbersome red dress, and her face had a bit of a man's heroic spirit. With his hands on the strings and plucking at will, he was already intoxicated, slightly closed his eyes, enjoying the fantasy world brought by the music.
Xia Yinhuan saw this scene when she entered the hall, Concubine Xiang was already sitting at the table, and when she saw her enter the hall, she smiled slightly.
Xia Yinhuan saw it in her eyes, naturally smiled back, glanced at Ling'er behind her slightly, and saw that her hands were hanging on her waist, as if she was a little nervous, and she tugged on the hem of her skirt tightly, pulling up layers of folds.
Xia Yinhuan didn't see it, and stepped forward, although she was still wearing palace clothes, her temperament was completely different from that of the palace maid who was waiting next to her, Shi Shiran stepped forward, did not salute, and sat directly in front of Concubine Xiang.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Xiang was not angry, but took the initiative to stand up: "Yan'er, this palace knows that I wronged you last time, and this palace has already put that girl who doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth into death row." This matter is also a dereliction of duty in this palace, and please Haihan. ”
When the surrounding palace ladies heard her say this, they couldn't help but be in an uproar Before, some people whispered that the rumors in the palace were true, and it was really Concubine Xiang who wronged Yan'er.
