Chapter 3 Forced to take poison
The guard didn't feel that Mingyue was wrong, and after getting his master's permission, he brought the young lady into the master's study. However, he clearly did not see any happy expression on the old man's face. Isn't it happy that her daughter was kidnapped and her life and death are uncertain, and now she suddenly comes back? Xiangye is Xiangye, and he is really different from ordinary people.
Mingyue stood nervously in the study of Shen Xiangye's house, not knowing what to do for a while.
"Mingyue, how did you come back?"
A middle-aged male voice came from behind him, not looking at people, Mingyue also felt that it was a very difficult character to mess with.
Moon? Why did he know that his name was Mingyue?
Mingyue's already unstable heart was even more uplifted.
"I fell off the hill and broke my head, and now I don't remember anything." Mingyue replied cautiously.
The man then walked in and looked at her silently.
It is Shen Yinglin, the high-ranking right minister in the mouth of Hua Baiyi.
"Don't remember anything?" Shen Yinglin didn't show too many doubts, but said lightly to the maid next to him: "Take the young lady back to the room to rest." Then he glanced at her again, "It's not early, I'll talk about it tomorrow, you're tired too, go back and rest first." ”
Mingyue intuitively felt that there must be something wrong with this person. He seems to hide all his emotions and expressions too well, and to outsiders, it seems as if this person is an emotionless existence.
Mingyue intuitively felt that this person was a dangerous person. Or, at all, there is some conspiracy at all.
As it turned out, Mingyue's idea was right.
She had barely entered the room when she found the door locked. Mingyue was so anxious to knock on the door, but no one answered her.
It's really a tiger's den.
Mingyue thought carefully about the situation just now.
The guard referred to herself as the eldest lady.
Master Shen knew that her name was Mingyue, that is, she was not Shen Qingcha.
Master Shen asked her to stay in Miss Shen's room to rest, but locked the door.
What's going on here? If she had known that the people here were all scheming, Mingyue would not have dared to break into the Shen Mansion at night hastily. It's all to blame on that flower white dress.
Flower white clothes? Mingyue suddenly remembered something. This guy deliberately appeared in front of him, and deliberately revealed the news of the Shen Mansion from his mouth, and took her to the Shen Mansion to investigate so diligently, but finally disappeared out of thin air.
It's not like Bai Yi is in the same league as this Shen Mansion. Mingyue couldn't figure out the reason for this. She just doesn't understand now, why did Master Shen keep her knowing that she was not his daughter?
She and Miss Shen should have something to do with it.
"Bright moon, bright moon." Although the sound outside the window was small, Mingyue still noticed it.
She crept under the window and asked, "Who is it?" ”
The people outside continued to speak, "It's me, Hua Baiyi." ”
"Flower white clothes? It's you again, where did you just go? Now I'm in trouble, what are you doing out again? Mingyue dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak loudly.
"You were sent by the Shen Mansion to deceive me! You kid! ”
"Don't worry." Hua Baiyi said slowly: "I just took advantage of their attention on you and went to other places to investigate. Guess what I know? ”
"What?"
"There's really something strange about this Prime Minister's Mansion." Flower white clothes road.
The inner courtyard was quiet, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. was arrested by thieves for the eldest lady, and it was only a few days later, but no one mentioned it.
Fortunately, there are no impermeable walls. People are all talking.
He heard what Mrs. Shen said to the maid beside her, saying that she wanted to hurry up and send it to Miss. Then as soon as the girl went out, she talked to herself, although she muttered quietly, Hua Baiyi heard it.
What kind of sin was created, his daughter couldn't see it, and put Mingyue in it, poor Mingyue.
"You're saying her daughter isn't mine, but I arranged to pretend to be hers?" Mingyue is not stupid, she thought of this layer almost immediately.
"That's a good point. Although there are several sons in the Shen Mansion, there is only one young lady, and it is rumored that Master Shen is very fond of him, and he is not half a step in the deep boudoir, but this lady said that she was going to send something to Miss, isn't it strange? ”
Hua Baiyi said: "This Shen Mansion must want to replace their real daughter with a fake daughter." ”
"Huh? But why. Mingyue was shocked, why did she go out this time and be unlucky.
"Maybe it's because I saw that inauspicious fireworks that day."
"The imperial concubine's birthday fireworks?"
"Yes, it was all up to me to be clever that day, otherwise I might have been injured."
"Someone is coming, you wait, I will find a way to save you." Hua Baiyi heard a sound not far away, put down a sentence and disappeared.
"Hey! How is it always like this! Mingyue sat up from the ground. With Hua Baiyi's words, she was not so nervous, and looked around the room.
Big family! Sure enough, it's a big family!
It's night, the Royal Palace.
Jinxiu obviously felt that today's breeze was not the same as usual.
"Qingfeng, is there something on your mind?" Splendid said bluntly.
"Niangniang, where does the breeze come from, if you want to say that there is, don't you also hope that you and Your Majesty can be reconciled." Qingfeng paused for a moment, and then said calmly.
"Don't hide it from me." Splendid smiled.
"Isn't it homesick, it seems that your birthday is approaching." Jinxiu remembered that Qingfeng was only ten days younger than herself.
"The tired mother still remembers Qingfeng's birthday. I can't spend my birthday with my father and mother every year, and Qingfeng may really miss them. Qingfeng said, suddenly his eyes reddened.
"Fool, if you want them, go back and see." Jinxiu only cared about comfort, but forgot that Qingfeng was a female official in the palace, how could she go home at will.
"Oh, you see, I forgot. Qingfeng, you are not young anymore, you have stayed in the palace longer than me, and when you are old, I will definitely send you out of the palace, okay. ”
"Niangniang, you are kind-hearted, Qingfeng thanked Niangniang first." Qingfeng replied respectfully, and then said, "Niangniang, Qingfeng does have something to ask for." ”
"You say, it's okay."
"Although Qingfeng's father and mother are far away from the imperial capital, but Qingfeng's aunt and uncle are in the imperial capital, Qingfeng thought, can I see my uncle on my birthday."
Jinxiu smiled, how could she forget this stubble. This Qingfeng's identity is not ordinary, and his uncle is Shen Yinglin, who is the right minister.
"What's so hard about that?" Splendid Road.
"You will definitely see you when you go to serve the emperor in a few days."
"But......" Qingfeng hesitated, why could she follow His Majesty.
"Since you've spoken, I'll naturally help you." Jinxiu didn't answer much.
"Do you think I'm a who can't do anything, do you?"
"Qingfeng doesn't dare." Qingfeng knelt down in fear, but he really had doubts in his heart.
After Qingfeng left, Jinxiu played with the glass hairpin in his hand.
The curtain had been lowered, and Splendid extinguished the only candle flame and gently pushed open a door.
No one wants a mother's bed to have such a door.
"Come out." Splendid Road.
"Leave this to your master."
"Yes." In the darkness, I couldn't see the voice and shadow of the person who was talking to Jinxiu, but I heard the word "yes" respectfully.
Every thing, a big thing that you think you have, needs to be brewed.
The night gave these people and things enough opportunity to brew.
And Shen Yinglin originally planned to get rid of Mingyue, who was in the way, but suddenly changed his mind at night.
Many years ago, in order to get the position above 10,000 people under this person, he colluded with the Demon Sect Ling Yunfeng at that time, and got rid of too many people who were in the way. However, one of the costs was to marry his daughter to the young master of Ling Yunfeng.
He knew very well what Ling Yunfeng was, and he was not confused about Ling Yunfeng's old treacherous and cunning sect leader, how could he really marry his daughter. But even if she finds a girl to marry on her behalf, if she is really allowed to go to Lingyun Peak, the rest of the matter is beyond Shen Yinglin's control.
So there was this play.
In the name of a thief, he captured Mingyue, the substitute girl, and then quietly killed this substitute ghost, which also made Ling Yunfeng really think that his daughter had died.
But this bright moon came back from the dead.
It's better to plan and send her to Lingyun Peak. Because now, he has chips in his hand again. Thinking of this, Shen Yinglin couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
On the second day, Mingyue got the news that if she wanted to live, she had to marry Miss Shen on her behalf, but in case she betrayed the Shen Mansion, she had to take poison.
Do you want her to go undercover in the Demon Cult? By the way, you also want to control the young master of the Demon Sect? Is this a fantasy?
But if you have to eat poison, what can you do?
Mingyue now seems to have no second way to choose. If you want to survive temporarily, you must "test the poison yourself".
Presumably, this old fox's poison will not be so easy to solve, and Mingyue has the heart to die at the moment.
It suddenly occurred to her that she was not from this world, so did this poison have any effect on her? What if the poison here doesn't work for her?
Haha, how is that possible? Mingyue, Mingyue, I want you to be wise for a lifetime, but today you are going to die here. This former Mingyue was also miserable, she had been a stand-in for so many years, and finally died in another country.
"My lord, the medicine is ready." The voice of someone came interrupted Mingyue's thoughts.
"Miss, please take your medicine." A young squire said expressionlessly.
But the moment Mingyue raised her eyes to look at him, she winked at her.
What is it? Mingyue's head spun rapidly, and she decided to take the medicine and take it.
Shen Yinglin said that he was quite knowledgeable, and left Miss Shen's boudoir.
Since they had done what they had planned, the guards in Mingyue's room had been removed, and the door was no longer locked. She tried to ask for something, and the subordinates were almost 100% obedient to her.
After walking for so many days, she never took a good bath when she stayed at the inn. Now I suddenly feel so tired.
She relaxed and lay in the bathtub to enjoy the petal bath that only the eldest lady could experience.
"I said you're really relaxed, and you're not afraid of poison just after eating it?" Hua Baiyi grinned and walked out from behind the screen.
