Chapter 412: Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish
An Sheng was silent for a moment, and finally slowly spoke: "It's not too difficult to kill Xia Zixian, the difficult thing is to lure out the person behind her who poisoned her, this is the key." ”
Concubine Ji asked suspiciously, "Why are you so interested in this poisoner?" Is this what people say about chess opponents, you have to meet good players, and you want to distinguish a high and low? ”
An Sheng shook his head slowly: "I'm not afraid to let Concubine Niangniang know that we haven't fought this person once or twice." The poisons he used were all Tang Sect poisons, which were extremely poisonous. I suspect that the poison that assassinated Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Household and Zhou Shanli of the Ministry of Rites was the hand of one person! ”
"What?" Concubine Ji was startled, and her face turned pale: "You, do you mean that Xia Zixian and those people may be in the same party?" ”
"I'm not sure, I'm just skeptical. Therefore, I am not in a hurry to kill Xia Zixian, but I want to put a long line to catch a big fish and find out who is behind her. ”
Concubine Ji suddenly shuddered: "If it is really as you say, it is too terrifying." They were able to put their hands into the palace and arrange for Xia Zixian to approach the emperor, wouldn't the emperor be dangerous? ”
"Everything is still inconclusive, An Sheng doesn't dare to say anything, he just wants to remind Concubine Niangniang to know. If, if I am really not Xia Zixian's opponent, and I am defeated by her one day, Niangniang must not relax her vigilance, and I must always be cautious. ”
Concubine Ji just thought for a moment: "Since the person behind Xia Zixian is so terrifying, why do you want to put yourself in danger?" Cut through the mess directly, you and I will work together, wouldn't it be safe to get rid of Xia Zixian? ”
An Sheng bit his lower lip gently, and seemed to be entangled: "I hope this clue can be helpful to Master and Yu Shizi." ”
Concubine Ji frowned slightly: "For the sake of Leng Nanxian, are you willing to risk your life?" ”
An Sheng nodded firmly: "Master was dragged down by me and was convicted, and I can't stand idly by." It is also an important clue to find out the person who poisoned the mouth, follow the vine to find out the melon, and reveal the truth. ”
"But I'm afraid that even the signboard of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion won't be able to protect you at that time." Concubine Ji said worriedly.
An Sheng shook his head lightly: "I will act when I see the opportunity, and try to protect myself." ”
Outside, Xia Ziwu broke in happily with a rose flower, and said mysteriously to An Sheng: "There are small insects in the flowers." ”
The two palace maids followed behind, unable to stop them, a little helpless.
An Sheng waved at the two of them and held back.
She flipped her wrist, took out a pill, and handed it to Xia Ziwu: "Sit obediently and eat jelly beans." ”
Xia Ziwu snatched it and threw it into her mouth excitedly, and after a while, her eyes were heavy, her body was crooked, and she leaned aside and fell asleep.
"Gave her soft tendon powder again?"
An Sheng nodded: "Fortunately, Xia Zixian was jealous of my current identity and did not send me directly into the madman tower to treat Xia Ziwu, which is already thankful." Moreover, she calculated that I signed the military order, which also gave me an excuse to enter and leave the imperial pharmacy.
It doesn't matter if Xia Ziwu stays by my side. I give her a regular dose of Soft Tendon every day, not afraid that she will suddenly go crazy and cause me some trouble. It's just that I'm afraid that someone will do something with it, so I'm going to have to take her with me. ”
Concubine Ji asked uneasily: "Are you sure you are crazy this Xia Ziwu?" ”
An Sheng nodded firmly, and smiled coldly: "You can rest assured at this point, Niangniang, you probably don't know what the madman tower is, there is no day inside, a group of crazy crazy madmen are kept in captivity, even if they are good people, they have been in it for a long time, I'm afraid it's not normal."
What's more, Xia Zixian sent her to my side, because I was not at ease, I secretly fed her drugs that could gradually derange, even if she pretended to be before, this time she was definitely crazy.
But in front of the mother, you have to be careful, every time you give her medicine to make her unconscious, so as not to collide with you. ”
Concubine Ji nodded reassuringly: "Then I can rest assured, otherwise I always muttered in my heart, thinking that this matter was a conspiracy of Xia Zixian." ”
"Xia Ziwu hates me to the bone, and has been thinking about killing me. And with that military order, if she suddenly becomes fierce and causes trouble, I will also be responsible. Xia Zixian kept her by my side, and she also had good intentions, she was a disaster that could break out at any time. ”
"If you want to leave the palace now, this palace will not stop you." After being silent for a moment, Concubine An asked worriedly.
An Sheng shook his head gently: "I suddenly feel that it is safest to stay by Concubine Niangniang's side and be protected by you." If I leave here, I'm afraid my life will be in danger at any time. ”
"But you ......"
An Sheng blinked softly: "I know it in my heart, although Niangniang can rest assured."
Concubine Ji hooked her lips helplessly, and then covered her lips and smiled: "This palace is just a casual remark, how can I be willing to let you go now?" Especially when I'm pregnant. Kill Xia Zixian, and the palace will rely on you. ”
An Sheng* wrung a handkerchief: "Xia Zixian doesn't have anyone around who can poison her, then everything is much easier, and it's just easy to put her to death." The last time I mentioned it to my mother, did you ask you to help me find all those medicinal herbs? ”
Concubine Ji bowed her head: "It's ready, I'll order someone to send it to you in a while." ”
An Sheng nodded: "As long as I refine this poison, it is colorless and tasteless, and after being poisoned, there is no trace to be found, and I want to put Xia Zixian to death, and then retreat with my whole body, it can be said that it is effortless." ”
Concubine Ji's eyes flashed: "This palace naturally trusts you." After the medicinal herbs are sent over for a while, you have to hurry up, and the main palace can also act on the opportunity. ”
An Sheng said softly: "Then the Queen Mother's Guanyin statue there, has the Niangniang arranged it?" ”
"We have already arranged for manpower, and we have done a good job on the statue of Guanyin in advance. This time, we must confirm her charge of being a demon girl who calamities the country, and it is best to let the Queen Mother drive her out of the palace, so as to save us from doing it again. ”
An Sheng stood up: "In this way, I won't bother much, waiting for the good news of the mother." ”
Concubine Ji sat still and didn't move, but just glanced at An Sheng worriedly, and stopped talking.
An Sheng winked at her: "An Sheng retired." ”
Turning around, Xia Ziwu was still sleeping soundly, saliva hung on the corners of her lips, and she was still holding the withered rose in her hand.
An Sheng frowned and pushed her: "Xia Ziwu!" ”
Xia Ziwu rubbed her nose and turned around impatiently.
Concubine Ji chuckled: "I slept sweetly." ”
"The medicine is so powerful that it will make her unconscious for a moment." An Sheng bent down, stretched out his hand and shook the tip of her nose: "Get up, go back." ”
Xia Ziwu opened her eyes in confusion, yawned exaggeratedly, turned her face to see that it was An Sheng, and smiled and handed her the rose in her hand: "Flower, smell it." ”
Xia Ziwu, who is no longer as hysterical as before, has a pure look in his eyes, not like a madman, but more like a child who does not understand the world.
An Sheng smiled and sniffed: "Fragrant, really fragrant." ”
Xia Ziwu got up and followed An Sheng with a happy face.
Concubine Ji walked out of the hall, looking at An Sheng's departing back, worried.
It's just a few days, but it's just a snap of a finger.
The panic caused by smallpox quickly dissipated, and leisure and tranquility were restored.
The emperor went in and out of the Sifu Hall again, singing every night. Xia Zixian relied on her talent and lovely appearance to regain her grace.
The ladies in the palace stared at the Sifu Hall with red eyes.
Perhaps, men in love are like this, blindfolded, confused, and full of eyes to see the enchantment of that woman.
Xia Zixian has already fascinated the emperor.
I heard that the Xue family not only returned to the Xia family in a beautiful manner, but also was named Mrs. Command.
The Xia family has faded away the shame brought by Xia Ziwu, and has produced an imperial concubine, a princess of the Hou Mansion, and has become supreme glory.
Although Xia Yuanwai is still the right attendant of the household, his status in the court has risen. Although many people criticized and disdained behind their backs, on the surface, when they saw Xia Yuanwai, they were smiling and welcome.
Only Xia Yuanwai himself, his heart was miserable, and in the face of the congratulations of his colleagues in the DPRK and China, he barely squeezed out a wry smile.
Boiled beans burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle. This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other.
He trembled and waited for the final outcome of your life and death, helpless.
An Sheng closed the door and buried himself in his room researching poisons.
Xia Ziwu has been around her, chattering, like a child who doesn't know the world.
The palace people who were waiting next to him got the advice of Concubine Ji and guarded carefully, lest Xia Ziwu suddenly launch a madness, which would be unfavorable to An Sheng.
All the sharp weapons, fire folds and other dangerous objects were put away, and copper bells were put on Xia Ziwu's wrists and ankles as a warning.
An Sheng is not afraid, not because Xia Ziwu has a soft muscle, but because Xia Zixian's current situation has given Xia Ziwu hope for life, she will not be reckless and take her own life easily.
She was Xia Zixian's last fatal blow to stay by her side.
The door was knocked gently, and a palace man pushed the door in, and Fu replied: "Miss Ansheng, my mother is invited." ”
It was the palace man in front of Xia Zixian.
An Sheng's hands were stunned, and the medicinal materials were slowly and methodically sorted, locked in the box, and then carefully cleaned his hands: "Okay." ”
Xia Zixian's palace, An Sheng is the first time to come, and the concubine's residence is being favored, and its luxury is naturally extraordinary.
As soon as she stepped into the palace door, she was stopped by several palace people.
"Please forgive Miss Ansheng, for the safety of my mother, we must search your body."
An Sheng listened sideways, the inner hall was silent, if Xia Zixian was there, he would definitely be able to hear the palace people talking.
She smiled slightly, and said loudly: "If Concubine Xia is worried that An Sheng's body is poisonous and not good for you, then what are the orders, even if the people in the palace are all right, why do you need to be so trembling and wary of me?" ”
