Chapter 389: Poisoning
Three days later, Jing Ning and Wan Xi appeared together in the Silk Pavilion store. The Silk Pavilion is one of the best fabric shops in Kyoto, and the guests who come here are either rich or expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to use the fabrics in the Silk Pavilion.
Now that it's about to be the time for the change of seasons, Jing Ning wanted to buy some fabrics to add some clothes to the people in Xiao's mansion, originally she wanted to take Youran out, but Youran was unwell, so Wanxi volunteered to follow.
Jing Ning looked at the back of Wanxi picking up the fabric, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"This dress is good, take it and I'll try it." After touching a few pieces of fabric, Wanxi suddenly caught a glimpse of a lake-blue dress, and her eyes lit up, and she wanted to take it off from the shopkeeper.
"Girl, let's change it, this skirt is made for Princess Lu Lu, and others are afraid that they won't be able to try it." The shopkeeper's face was a little embarrassed.
Jing Ning glanced at the shopkeeper meaningfully, how could it be so coincidental that he picked up Princess Lu Lu's dress? Moreover, although the shopkeeper was respectful on his face, his words were clearly lazy and tactful, and he scolded Princess Lu Lu. This is the shopkeeper of the Silk Pavilion, how can he be so rude when he speaks? It seems that this is the person arranged by Princess Lu Lu.
Sure enough, Wanxi's face stiffened when she heard this, and the smile on her lips was very unnatural. She glanced at the skirt greedily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Shopkeeper, you just take it down and let me try it, look at the waist of this dress, I'm afraid Princess Lu Lu can't wear it, right?" ”
Jing Ning raised her eyebrows, this woman's courage is really not small, she dares to say this about Princess Lu Lu behind her back. People in all of Kyoto who don't know that Princess Lu Lu is the most disgusted by others talking about her appearance and figure.
I still remember that the wife of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites accidentally said a few more words, but she was taken back to her parents' house after a few days, and died of illness inexplicably a month later.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, after all, this is a tailor-made dress for Princess Lu, if Princess Lu knows that I will give it to you to try, I'm afraid that my silk pavilion will not have to be opened." The shopkeeper's face became more and more embarrassed, but his eyes were calm.
Jing Ning took in everything, but she was silent, three days ago she received a letter from Princess Lu Lu, asking her to take Wan Xi to the Silk Pavilion this morning to pick up fabrics, all of this was obviously arranged by Princess Lu Lu, she just watched the play.
A little impatience flashed between Wanxi's eyebrows, and she scolded in a coquettish voice: "Do you not understand the words, I said that I want to try that skirt, you give it to me to try, why do you want to use Princess Lu Lu to press me?" ”
"Oh? Listening to this, I can't hold you down? A slightly indifferent voice sounded behind Wan Xi.
Wanxi's face turned pale, and she turned around tremblingly, facing Princess Lu Lu, who was not very good-looking.
Seeing this, Jing Ning stepped forward and said softly: "Princess Lu, don't be angry, it's Wanxi that she bumped into you, don't apologize to Princess Lu soon!" The latter sentence was said to Wanxi, Jing Ning frowned and looked at Wanxi, although there was anxiety on her face, there was a bit of indifference in her eyes.
Hearing this, Wanxi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Princess Lu, you have a lot of don't worry about me, I have no intention!" ”
"Heartless? I just heard you say that I can't wear that skirt with my waist. Princess Lu Lu snorted coldly, obviously annoyed.
Wanxi panicked instantly, and her face became even paler. She looked at Princess Lu Lu at a loss, her eyes a little empty.
Seeing this, Princess Lu Lu curled a strange smile, she slowly approached Wanxi, reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head.
"Princess Lu spares her life......" Wanxi trembled, and her eyes were full of fear.
Suddenly, Princess Lu Lu's face changed, and a trace of blood spilled from her lips.
"How dare you poison me!" Princess Lu Lu took a few steps back, but fortunately she was supported by the attendants who accompanied her and did not fall. Jing Ning was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly walked to Princess Lu Lu's side to support her, Princess Lu Lu gently pinched Jing Ning's hand while people were not paying attention, Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little nervous in her heart, how could this good end be poisoned?
Wanxi was completely frightened, she waved her hand again and again, and said to herself: "It's not me!" I don't know how! Not me! ”
"Don't arrest her yet!" Princess Lu Lu stretched out her hand and pointed at Wanxi, and the servants on the side immediately restrained Wanxi. Wanxi's face was frightened, and as soon as she spoke, she saw Princess Lu Lu faint, and Jing Ning couldn't hold back anymore.
"Send Princess Lu to a nearby medical center, and quickly tell Prince Lu about this!" Jing Ning looked at the attendants on the side, his expression a little anxious. At the moment, she was not sure whether this was an intentional act by Princess Lu Lu or an accident. After all, no one is going to joke with their lives.
Everyone was in a hurry for a while, but fortunately, with Jing Ning's command, it didn't turn into a pot of porridge.
An hour later, Princess Lu Lu, who was lying on the bed, woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Prince Lu with a worried face.
"How does it feel?" Prince Lu asked in a deep voice, a little anger flashing in his eyes.
He was originally discussing with people in the mansion, but he didn't expect to receive the news of Princess Lu Lu's poisoning, so he immediately brought the doctor in the mansion to the hospital. Fortunately, Princess Lu Lu is not highly poisonous, and her life is not in danger.
"I'm tired, but fortunately Jing Ning sent it in time, otherwise I'm afraid I'd kill that femme fatale!" Princess Lu Lu's eyes were red, and her face was very aggrieved.
Prince Lu was already thinking about this in his heart, and when he heard Princess Lu Lu say this, his face sank and he ordered his subordinates to bring Wanxi up.
As soon as Wanxi came in, she fell to her knees, her body trembling, and the look on her face was very flustered.
"The prince spares his life! I really don't know what's going on, how dare I poison Princess Lu? It must have been an accident! Wanxi's eyes were full of horror, Prince Lu was a person she couldn't afford to provoke at all, although she was the person sent by the emperor to the general's mansion, but as long as Prince Lu's words could kill her.
"You talk nonsense! You clearly poisoned me because of that dress! I don't know what poison is on your face, and when I touch it, I feel tightness in my chest and shortness of breath, and I feel weak. ”
When Lord Lu heard this, he immediately squinted at Wanxi, and said in a deep voice to the doctor on the side: "Go and see her face." ”
Wanxi wanted to resist, but she was restrained by the attendants on the side, unable to move at all, so she had to let the doctor move on her face. I saw that the doctor took out a silver needle and gently slashed it on different parts of Wanxi's face, and then the silver needle turned black.
Wanxi's face was full of disbelief, she shook her head desperately and screamed, "It's not me!" Not me! Someone framed me! Then she looked at Jing Ning, who had been silent, with a very resentful look in her eyes.
"It's you! You can't see me staying in the General's Mansion, so you deliberately designed to frame me, didn't you? You wicked woman! I curse you not to die well! Wanxi stared at Jing Ning directly, as if she wanted to devour Jing Ning alive.
