Chapter 151: See Poison Again
Chapter 151: See Poison 'Medicine' Again
Yuehe stood behind Chen Qingxuan, with a look of embarrassment, and frowned: "Guifei Niangniang, it's not like this, or will the slave maid replace my young lady and give Concubine De a cup of tea?" β
"Presumptuous, what are you?" Empress Dowager Li snorted coldly and said, "You are a minion, and you dare to speak in place of your master? β
"The slave naturally doesn't dare to say anything about replacing the master, but-" Yuehe looked at Chen Qingxuan with some embarrassment and said, "It seems a little inappropriate to just ask my young lady to give tea to Concubine De." β
"Why is it inappropriate?" Gu Guifei sneered, "Could it be that she is a person from outside the world, can she not be polite?" β
"It is precisely because of the number of etiquette that the slave maid wants to replace my young lady to give tea to Concubine De Niangniang" Yuehe said with a smile, "Because today Your Majesty has canonized my young lady as a concubine." β
"What?" When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she suddenly stood up from the chair, originally, there were still two vacancies in the position of the fourth concubine, Li Keqi entered the palace, she naturally wanted to fight for a higher position for her niece and daughter, but Yang Xi said that she did not agree to canonize Li Keqi as a concubine.
In the end, Empress Dowager Li thought about it, anyway, they are all four concubines, waiting to enter the palace, and the plan is that there are many major events in the court and politics outside, as long as the Li family presses it at that time, she will not worry about Emperor Yinxi not agreeing, besides, Concubine De is not bad, if she can, she hopes that Li Keqi can become the queen of Emperor Yinxi, so that it will be convenient for the Li family to act in the future.
However, she never thought that Yang Xi would canonize Chen Qingxuan as a "concubine"?
"Your Majesty said that a real canonization ceremony will be held early in the morning, and the harem concubines are still honest and do not advocate wanton '', so our young lady is blindly low-key, and is not willing to do more luxury 'waste' fees" Yuehe bowed his head and said, Empress Dowager Li actually asked Chen Qingxuan to kneel down for Li Keqi to serve tea, which is simply a bit deceitful.
Therefore, Yuehe's heart was also holding a sullen breath, thinking that when the master was there, who dared to wronged their young lady? It's only been a long time, and for the sake of people, anyone can bully their young lady?
Everyone is looking at each other, naturally this can't be said casually, if Emperor Yinxi doesn't have a clear will, Yuehe does this, it is a crime of bullying the king.
Therefore, everyone knows that when Yuehe dares to say this, it shows that Emperor Yinxi has already made a will, and even the holy decree has been issued. Now, it's just time for a formal canonization ceremony.
Moreover, Yuehe also made it clear just now that Emperor Yinxi didn't like Concubine De's flamboyant behavior in entering the palace, so whatever he said about honesty was actually-he just wanted to praise Chen Qingxuan.
"Queen Mother Mingjian" Yuehe was not afraid at all, and bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, so, according to the rules of the palace, Concubine De should kowtow to our young lady for tea." β
Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth and asked Li Keqi to kowtow to Chen Qingxuan for tea, but I was afraid that Li Keqi would also not be able to swallow such a breath, especially when she had just entered the palace, a second-grade lady was suddenly promoted to a position, and she was still above her?
Needless to say, what His Majesty wants to do, everyone understands.
"It's okay, I'll give my sister tea" Li Keqi's face was extremely unsightly, but she finally stood up.
The 'girl' of the small palace next to her was busy handing a cup of tea that had been prepared a long time ago to Li Keqi, this tea should have been prepared for Chen Qingxuan to give tea to Li Keqi, but now, she has completely changed her position, but this tea has not been changed.
Li Keqi took it, her face was a little embarrassed, and the Empress Dowager Li had a cold face, and wanted to say something, but after all, she sat down and didn't say anything.
And Chen Qingxuan was still sitting in the chair, also without speaking.
Li Keqi took the tea, walked to Chen Qingxuan's side, and then, pretending to lift the long skirt, was about to kneel down and salute. At this time, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, the hot tea took off his hand and splashed it on Chen Qingxuan's face.
"Oops-" Li Keqi exclaimed, and Chen Qingxuan was also taken aback, this trick of pouring tea was really practiced by these 'women' in the palace, she had been splashed by Wang Yuhong once earlier, and at this time she didn't expect Li Keqi to do the same trick.
When the time comes, she can still push that clean, she just missed, she is Emperor Yinxi's newly canonized Concubine Niangniang, for a while, Emperor Yinxi is only afraid that even if he is angry, he will not be held accountable.
And if Chen Qingxuan ruined such a face, although she was not favored by such a face, I am afraid that it would be greatly discounted, no man would be willing to live in front of an ugly and scalded face like a ghost, right?
Everyone was stunned by this scene, but no one expected that at the same time as Li Keqi made a move, Chen Qingxuan actually fell backwards, as if the chair was not strong, causing her body to lean back involuntarily.
Some tea still fell on her, but due to the cold weather, she was wearing a small jacket, and the tea she prepared was not too hot, just like the tea that Wang Yuhong had just splashed on Li Keqi's hand, the temperature was not too much, so even if it was burned, it was limited.
The teacup clanged and slammed into the ground, falling apart.
Chen Qingxuan was also helped up by Yuehe, Meizi and Bamboo, although she was a little embarrassed, it was better than a cup of tea splashed on her face.
"What does that mean?" Yuehe frowned, looked at Empress Dowager Li and asked deliberately.
"Concubine De Niangniang", the two small palace 'women' were also busy helping Li Keqi up.
"Oops-" Li Keqi held her forehead with one hand and a girl with the other, her face was full of apologies, her eyes were full of tears, and she was busy apologizing to Chen Qingxuan, "Sister is okay, right?" My little sister is damned, she has had vertigo since she was a child, and she missed it just now......"
"It's just a miss" Chen Qingxuan took a handkerchief to wipe off the water stains on her body, and suddenly felt that the smell of the water stains seemed to be a little weird, and immediately smelled it without a trace, it was really a little weird, definitely not like ordinary tea and asked, "This Jingle Palace is the palace of Concubine De Niangniang, but this bureau is really damn bad, and actually sent some unsturdy chairs over, you seeββ"
She shook her head and sighed as she pointed to the torn chair on the floor.
Everyone understands in their hearts that even if it is a sturdy chair, they are afraid that they will not sit down for a while, and they will be torn apart, and how can the chair sent to Jingle Palace be an inferior product that cuts corners? The head of the bureau was impatient.
"This teaβ" Concubine Qin Xian suddenly exclaimed.
The tea cup fell to the ground, and a small palace 'girl' wanted to come forward to clean it up, but she didn't have time yet, and at this time, the tea actually had a pungent smell and a yellow-green 'color' of foam......
Needless to say, everyone also understood that this was a highly poisonous tea.
This is Li Keqi dizzy and missed, and the chair under Chen Qingxuan suddenly shattered, otherwise, once this tea is drunk, everyone knows that the lady concubine who has just been promoted to the title may not be able to wait for Ming'er's canonization ceremony.
Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment, even Li Keqi's face was pale, just looking at the Empress Dowager Li, this time, the Empress Dowager Li didn't say it in advance, and she was completely unprepared.
The original drama was not played like this - it was supposed to be Empress Dowager Li who made it difficult for Chen Qingxuan to give her tea, so that she could humiliate her, and then she pretended to drink her tea and was poisoned.
Of course, everything is pretending, they definitely didn't prepare real poisonous tea, otherwise, once it is misused - Li Keqi thought of this, not only did he shudder.
If Chen Qingxuan didn't say it, and then endured the humiliation and gave her tea, she would drink tea with satisfaction, and then ...... Is she still alive?
Chen Qingxuan never thought about giving her tea from beginning to end, and it didn't look like she was poisoned.
"Concubine De, what do you say about this?" Concubine Qin Xian stood up and frowned, after all, no matter what, this tea was handed to Chen Qingxuan by her.
"Sister Qin is also confused" Gu Guifei also stood up and frowned, "What does this matter have to do with the sister of the Li family, besides, this tea was originally prepared for the sister of the Li family." β
"Not bad," Empress Dowager Li nodded.
"Where's that little palace 'girl' just now?" Suddenly, Chen Qingxuan asked, it was obvious that tonight's poisonous tea was really a bit unexpected by everyone.
Empress Dowager Li didn't know that she would be promoted to Concubine Shu, and naturally this tea would not be prepared for her, so it seems that this tea was indeed prepared for Li Keqi.
With this kind of method, Chen Qingxuan immediately thought of Concubine Qin Xian, so she looked at Concubine Qin Xian without a trace, but the latter actually had a frank face.
was reminded by Chen Qingxuan, Empress Dowager Li also came back to her senses, indeed, Chen Qingxuan could not be the one who poisoned her, this is not like the means that this 'girl' should use.
Therefore, she understood in an instant that there was bound to be a third-party force in this palace who 'intervened', and this person, with a clear goal, wanted the life of Li Keqi, who had just entered the palace.
If she could, she also wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Chen Qingxuan.
Killing two birds with one stone, what a powerful strategy.
But no one thought that His Majesty would canonize Concubine Chen Qingxuan, let alone that Li Keqi would have ill intentions and splash Chen Qingxuan's face with tea, so this cup of poisonous tea fell to the ground and was 'exposed' in front of everyone.
However, when I turned around, I found that the 'girl' of the small palace was gone.
Yes, the palace 'girl' waiting in Jingle Palace today is wearing a uniform dress, and the dress is exactly the same, the palace 'girl' just now looks ordinary, and she can't say what her characteristics are, Li Keqi only entered the palace today, where do you know who is who? I took the tea just now, at this time, where can I still identify, did I take a palace 'girl' and handed her the tea?
"It's just unreasonable," Empress Dowager Li was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she shouted, "Check the mourning family, and you must find out that small palace 'girl'." β
was 'chaotic', a little wrestler outside hurriedly ran in, bypassed everyone without a trace, secretly approached Chen Qingxuan, and whispered in her ear - that little wrestler was none other than Xiao Xizi of Taihe Palace.
