Chapter Twenty-Seven: Poisoning and Assassination

But today is different from the past, in fact, Feng Lingjue still yearns for the outside of the palace, when the master was still in the palace, he heard him talk about what Fuyunzhuang is like, what the rivers and lakes are like, and his heart suddenly has a trace of yearning for the outside of the palace, as well as the delicacies that the imperial sister told him that can only be eaten outside the palace.

It's a pity that he hasn't reached the crown yet, and he can't be crowned king to build a mansion outside the palace, and his father usually doesn't care about his request for an unfavored prince, and it is basically impossible to get out of the palace seriously.

Although with Feng Lingjue's strength now, it is easy to sneak out of the palace, but he will not do that, or Feng Lingjue's private expectations are not the fact of being able to leave the palace itself at all, but to be able to go out of the palace with Feng Tingge, go to places he has never been to before, and enjoy the scenery he has never seen.

Thinking about this matter in his heart, Feng Lingjue couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, it would be nice if he could be with the imperial sister all the time like this, so from now on he had to work harder, so that no one could let the imperial sister be separated from him.

Feng Lingjue was just about to blow out the candle to rest, when someone knocked on the door outside, "Nine Emperor Princes, have you rested?" ”

Who? Feng Lingjue subconsciously remained vigilant, the imperial sister had told him many times that he would never let anyone enter his dormitory casually at night, and the palace people in the Yunxiao Hall were all in the outer hall, and they would not come in casually even during the day, so the people who could come in now would not be well-intentioned.

Feng Lingjue took out the dagger pressed under the pillow and brought it to his body, this was what he learned from the imperial sister, Feng Tingge used to hiding daggers everywhere, and even carried them with him on weekdays, the dagger was light and did not take up space, so even if he encountered any danger, he would not be powerless to fight back.

"It's so late, what are you here for?" Feng Lingjue went over to open the door expressionlessly, his eyes full of defensive coldness.

Standing outside was a little palace maid, Feng Lingjue had some impression of this face, she had met a few times in the imperial sister's Jiafu Palace, she should be the palace maid of the Jiafu Palace, but why did she come to the Yunxiao Hall so late?

Knowing that this was the palace maid in the palace of the imperial sister, Feng Lingjue's expression eased slightly, but she did not completely relax her vigilance, after all, the imperial sister once told him that the only person in this world who can be completely trusted is herself, and the others, even if they are close to them, must keep a trace of guard.

The little palace maid was holding a small food box in her hand, and she saluted Feng Lingjue first, "I have seen the Nine Emperor Princes, the slave maid is the palace maid of the Jiafu Palace, and the imperial dining room made some new snacks and sent them to the Jiafu Palace, and the princess asked the slave and maid to send some to the Nine Emperor Princes to try." ”

At this time, what pastry will the imperial sister send him? But this little palace maid is indeed from Jiafu Palace, Feng Lingjue took the snack box and replied to her coldly, "Thank you for helping me, Sister Huang." But there is no intention of opening it at all.

The little palace maid wanted to say something more, but when she touched Feng Lingjue's eyes full of coldness, she could only leave unwillingly.

Feng Lingjue carried the snack box in and put it on the table, he didn't forget to go back and lock the door, he didn't mean to open the box of snacks from beginning to end, he had seen too many tricks, he was not a child who didn't understand anything, if he could be deceived by this little trick, he would not have survived to this day.

The next day, Feng Lingjue went to Jiafu Hall as usual, now he no longer needs to practice the basic skills under the supervision of the imperial sister, and the master has also taught him the mental method that suits him, so now Feng Lingge can sleep more openly, and no one can take her.

After Feng Lingjue finished practicing and had breakfast alone, Feng Tingge appeared in the courtyard and chatted with him casually, "Have you ever tasted the dim sum I asked someone to give you yesterday?" If you like it, I'll ask the Imperial Dining Room to make more and send it to you next time, it's a good thing for you to work hard, but you also have to remember not to go to bed too late at night, otherwise you won't grow taller at that time. ”

Yesterday, the imperial sister actually sent him a pastry? Feng Lingjue was slightly surprised, secretly regretting that she didn't open the food box last night to taste it, and if she went back today, she should already be unable to eat, it was really a pity, Feng Lingjue's mood became a little low.

Feng Qingge noticed Feng Lingjue's abnormality, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?" I've been listless today, is it too bad to eat dim sum? In fact, it was sent casually from the imperial dining room, saying that I wanted to choose a few to put on my father's birthday banquet, and I couldn't make up my mind so I wanted you to try it. ”

Where can Feng Lingjue tell what happened last night, she quickly shook her head, and said in a snort: "No, it's all delicious, thank you Sister Huang." ”

Feng Qingge didn't ask anything else, but just cared about the master's affairs, and learned that Yun Hexuan would arrive in the royal city in a few days, and he would also enter the palace at that time, after all, Fuyunzhuang was still relying on the royal family, how could Yun Hexuan not come to Feng Qisheng's birthday banquet.

Since Feng Lingjue was not in high interest today, Feng Qingge asked him to go back early, and told him to rest well, Feng Qisheng's birthday is getting closer, this is the time when it is easy to have accidents, the more you have to take care of your spirit at this time, otherwise you really don't know when you will accidentally fall into someone else's trap.

Feng Lingjue obviously didn't want to stay, he still remembered the pastries that the imperial sister sent him, maybe if he went back now, he would still have time to see what was inside.

But when he went back, the snack box that was originally on the table was no longer there, Feng Lingjue's eyes were dyed with a layer of anger, and he called the palace people in the outer hall, and asked in a cold voice: "Who entered the inner hall today?" ”

A little eunuch stood up with his head down and trembling, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "Hui ...... Back to the Nine Emperors, ...... this morning It was the servants who entered the inner sanctum and helped ...... Helped you clean up the house, the minion didn't touch anything in your house......"

Those palace people who were called thought that Feng Lingjue had lost something, so they called them over, and at this time they also had some opinions about Feng Lingjue, just a prince who was not favored, what could be valuable, and it was worth making such a big move?

"Are you sure?" Feng Lingjue sneered, he hadn't touched his things, so the food box that the imperial sister sent him, could it be that he had wings and flew away?

The little eunuch couldn't help but weaken his knees at Shangfeng Lingjue's gaze, and he knelt directly on the ground in fright, when he honestly confessed, "The Nine Emperor Princes spare their lives, and the slave saw that you didn't touch the food box on the table, thinking that you didn't like to eat and wanted to throw it away, so he ...... So he took it and gave it to Maomao. ”

Although Feng Lingjue didn't say anything more, and dismissed those palace people, he asked the little eunuch to take him to see the so-called Maomao, he wanted to see with his own eyes who dared to use the snacks given to him by the imperial sister, even without knowing it.

Until the little eunuch talked about Maomao excitedly, Feng Lingjue didn't know what else he could say, the little eunuch said Maomao was just a puppy, this is really ......

Let him have nothing to say.

The little eunuch happily called Mao Mao twice, but the little dog did not run to him as usual, and when the little eunuch found the nest, he suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Mao Mao! ”

Feng Lingjue didn't know what was going on, and when he walked over, he saw that the little eunuch was holding the little white dog and crying bitterly, and he saw clearly at this time that the little eunuch was holding the puppy that was dead, and there were still a few uneaten pastries scattered next to it.

Poisonous! Feng Lingjue was too familiar with such a scene, he couldn't think of the second cause of death for that puppy, this pastry was sent by the imperial sister, so the purpose of the poisoner was to poison the imperial sister nine times out of ten!

Feng Lingjue's face suddenly became gloomy, and he didn't care about comforting the little eunuch, he carefully picked up the remaining pastries on the ground, wrapped them in a handkerchief and prepared to take them to the Tai Hospital for examination, maybe he could find out who was trying to kill the imperial sister, and he would never let those people go.

From the beginning of discovering that the pastry was poisonous, Feng Lingjue's heart had always been thinking about finding out who the person who wanted to harm Feng Tingge was, and he hadn't thought about one thing at all, this pastry was brought to him, if he hadn't always been cautious, he would be poisoned to death now.

Since the inaction of the Tai Hospital a few years ago, the matter of contemptuous Feng Tiange was known by Feng Qisheng, this Tai Hospital has carried out a major rectification, and many of the original old imperial doctors have been punished and sent out of the palace, since then, no imperial doctor dares not to take Princess Lehe and the Nine Emperor Princes seriously, and when the time comes, he will be stabbed in front of the emperor, and the official matter will be small, and it may be difficult to even protect this life.

After Feng Lingjue came over this time, a doctor came over with a silver needle to help Feng Lingjue see what was wrong with this pastry.

Feng Lingjue personally watched the silver needle that pierced into the half of the pastry turn black when it was pulled out, and sure enough, this pastry was highly poisonous, and even the imperial doctor who helped with the detection changed his face, "Nine Emperor Princes, this is a highly toxic poison that can be blended with simple medicinal materials, not to mention the simple production method, the toxicity is also great, if it is eaten by mistake, it will be fatal in less than half an hour." ”

"What kind of herbs are needed to make this poison, and have anyone come to get these things in the last few days?" Feng Lingjue's mind was still very clear, and he quickly found the crux of the problem.

Seeing that this matter was a big matter, the imperial doctor really went to help Feng Lingjue investigate, and carefully checked the account book, "If you have these medicinal herbs...... There is indeed a record in the account book, it is the people of Jiafu Hall who have been here a few times, and each time the medicinal materials they take are also correct with what the imperial doctor said, which is too much of a coincidence! ”

Feng Lingjue's heart was also shocked, but he didn't believe that the imperial sister would do such a thing, let alone allow any unfavorable remarks to come out, so he said to the imperial doctor in a deep voice: "The matter I came over today is confidential, don't mention it to anyone, if I hear someone gossiping, then beware of your life." ”
