Chapter 26: Gu Worms
"It turned out to be from the Shen Mansion." When Xiao Zhi heard this, the smile in his eyes faded a little.
Shen Zhi was flustered in his heart, and he didn't notice the other party's abnormal reaction at this moment.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhi said, "Have I seen you somewhere?" ”
Shen Zhi's heart trembled, and when she subconsciously looked over, she saw Xiao Zhi looking at her with inquiring eyes, and for a moment she thought that Xiao Zhi had an impression of her in the previous life, but quickly
Then he came to his senses, and the reason why the other party said this was probably because of a quick glance on Changqing Mountain some time ago.
She opened her mouth, and was about to deny it, when a person suddenly appeared beside Xiao Zhi and said, "Master, the palace banquet is about to begin." ”
Gray Ling has always had sharp facial features, and almost the moment she spoke, her eyes locked on Shen Zhi, but when she saw her face clearly, a surprise flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Zhi noticed his expression, but he didn't say anything, and said lightly, "Let's go." As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Zhi.
Shen Zhi hurriedly said, "I'm also leaving." With that, he turned and walked away quickly.
Xiao Zhi looked at her figure that gradually faded out of sight, and said, "Do you know her?" ”
Gray Ling reacted that this was asking him, and hurriedly replied, "The last time at the foot of Changqing Mountain, it was this Shen Mansion's Second Lady's carriage that was stopped, and his subordinates helped him at that time. ”
Xiao Zhi just asked casually, and didn't pay too much attention to it, or he was still a little interested, but he immediately faded after knowing the identity of the other party.
Miss Shen Mansion......
He snorted as if he had thought of something.
The palace banquet opened, hundreds of officials entered, and the delicacies were brought into the store one by one like flowing water, and the dancers in dance costumes rushed in and danced slowly in the music.
After coming back, this was the first time Shen Zhi had seen the emperor, and the graceful and luxurious empress sitting beside the emperor.
In the last life, the emperor was past middle age, lingering on the sickbed, and had not touched the affairs of the court for a long time, everything was presided over by the crown prince, but the current emperor was still upright and strong, about three
He looks like he is more than ten years old, his face is full, his spirit is vibrant, and he has a prestige that only a superior person can have.
The queen sat aside, with a faint detached smile on her dignified and beautiful face, looking down on the surroundings, with reserve and nobility between her eyebrows.
The staggered plans, the words and smiles, the hall is lively.
Shen Zhi sat in the corner of the woman's side, watching the ladies talking and laughing back and forth, looking like they hated seeing each other, and felt quite ironic in his heart - I don't know these people
What kind of face should they have when they tear off the mask of hypocrisy, or maybe they have forgotten their original appearance after wearing the mask for a long time.
In this world, everyone is hypocritical, and so is she.
Smiling self-deprecatingly, she simply stopped looking at it and focused on the food in front of her.
"Ah......" With a faint exclamation, a palace maid seemed to have accidentally tripped over the hem of her skirt and fell in front of her, and the plate on her hand was also spilled on the ground
。
Fortunately, they were close to the corner here, and the movement of the palace maid falling was not very big, and everyone in the hall was still immersed in the beautiful posture of the dancing girls, and they didn't notice this corner at all for a while
What happened in Luoli.
"Are you alright?" Shen Zhi saw that the corners of her skirt were wet for a small time, and she knew that the other party should have spilled the wine, and the broken cup fragments also cut her hand
A little red blood bead oozed out.
"The slave is fine, I have disturbed the young lady, and I hope you will forgive me." The palace maid fell to the ground in panic as if she hadn't seen her injured hand.
"It's okay, you can go and get ready again." Shen Zhi didn't know why the other party was so afraid of herself, and she didn't look like a brutal and ruthless person, but the other party was obviously really harmful
I was afraid, and when I heard the words, I hurriedly cleaned up the mess on the ground.
Suddenly, a slender small tube fell out of the other party's sleeve robe, and she was about to say something to remind her, but the other party had already picked it up quickly and hid it back in her sleeve
, but the movements of her hands were even more trembling, it was the cold winter, and when she lowered her head to tidy up, the corners of her forehead were sweaty.
Shen Zhixin paused, but his face quietly withdrew his gaze, as if he hadn't seen Fang Cai's scene, and calmly cast his eyes on the performance of the dancers in the field.
And the palace maid glanced at Shen Zhi carefully, and found that her expression was calm and calm, not like she had found something, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and thought in her heart, it was herself
The heart is empty, this thing, normal people will not notice the abnormality, let alone the young lady who is so old and does not leave the house......
When the palace maid cleaned up the mess and left with the plate, Shen Zhi turned his head slightly, looking at the back of the other party's departure, his eyes thoughtful.
Her biological mother was also a very famous medical girl back then, and among the relics left to her, there was a medical book written by someone I don't know, which recorded rich and detailed medical skills
and all kinds of cruel poison techniques.
In her previous life, after she found out that she was addicted to red sleeve incense, she thought about finding a solution, but at that time, her mind was sometimes clear and sometimes crazy, and she was firmly controlled by Shen Yun
, she couldn't figure out a way to save herself on her own, and when she finally died, she didn't have time to read much of that medical technique.
After she came back in this life, she found the only book of medical poison from her mother's relics, and only read about a part of it, which recorded such a poison technique - it is said that in southern Xinjiang
There is a kind of heavenly water on the side, colorless and tasteless, it looks no different from ordinary water, but in fact, in this heavenly water, there is a transparent Gu worm, if you want to deal with a person quietly, you just need
Plant the female Gu worm into your own body, and then talk about the sub-Gu worm implanted in the other party's body, and after the sub-Gu worm wakes up through the nourishment of blood, the sub-Gu worm will follow the meridians all the way into the heart without a teacher
Dirty, slowly release toxins to paralyze the heart and muscles and veins of the whole body.
This process will take about a few years, and the other party will be seriously ill and die normally and quietly, and no one can figure out the problem.
It's just that the female Gu worm of this Gu worm is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, which is also the method of extracting the other party by the spellcaster.
When extracting the Gu worms, the caster cuts the opening of the index finger to let the bloody qi disperse into the air, and the Gu worms will slowly become powdered, wriggling to find the source of the bloody smell
The female Gu worm can be smoothly taken out of the heavenly water and planted into its own body.
When the little pipe fell out of the palace maid's sleeve robe just now, she vaguely saw a little bit of powder in it, but the other party instantly picked it up and stuffed it back, and she couldn't see it
is more careful, so it can't be very sure for a while.
Maybe it's just that she's overthinking?
Shen Zhi pressed this suspicion to the bottom of his heart, and when he looked at the palace maid who came in later, he subconsciously took a few more looks, but until the dishes and drinks were completely served, he didn't see that again
The palace maid appeared.
Maybe it's really her heart......
Shen Zhi shook his head and put this matter behind him.
On the other side, a palace maid wearing a palace maid's costume and walking in a hurry and with a sneaky figure walked around several corridors and slowly went to a secluded garden.
When she saw the person standing in the garden, her heart was relieved, her steps slowed down, she walked behind the other party, and said softly, "Master, what you asked the slave to do, the slave and the maid have already completed."
”
"You sent it with your own hands?" The man asked in a low voice, his voice hoarse and inaudible, adding a bit of treachery in this cold wind and defeated court.
The palace maid hesitated for a moment, but replied honestly, "When the slave maid went in, she accidentally fell next to the lady who didn't know which mansion, and that thing fell out for a moment, but the slave maid instantly."
I picked it up from time to time, just in case, so the slave didn't go in again......" Speaking of this, the palace maid seemed to be afraid that the other party would be angry, so she hurriedly explained, "But the slave and maid poured it in with their own hands."
If you drink it and watch someone else bring it in, there will be no problem. ”
The garden was quiet, the palace maid stared at the figure of the person in front of her, her heart rose to her throat, and sweat gradually oozed from her hands, and it was cold when it was blown by the cold wind.
I don't know how long I waited, but my body was a little numb for a long time, and the other party said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
The palace maid's heart was relieved, and before she could show a smile on her face, a curved blade stabbed into her soft chest from behind.
She looked down in shock, and saw the blade peeking through her chest, the tip of the knife oozing blood glowing red in the moonlight, which was dizzying. Her pupils constricted, hurried
After a few gasps, there was a rough pant sound in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but the next second, his body went limp, and his dilated pupils still had fear and disbelief
。
A pair of hands reached out and closed her eyes, then looked at the figure standing in the courtyard unmoved by the scene behind her, and said, "Master, it's settled." ”
"Well, deal with the aftermath."
"Yes."
At night, the stars went out and out, and everything that happened in this secluded courtyard was imperceptibly buried in the cold wind.
At this time, the atmosphere of the palace banquet was gradually getting better, and the ministers teased each other, sometimes saying funny things, which caused everyone to laugh, and even the upper seat was in a posture
The queen couldn't help but cover her mouth with a veil and chuckled.
After three rounds of drinking, the emperor's face flushed, and he said happily, "I am really happy today, I don't remember how many years, I haven't had a good meal with my imperial brother, this year, he is finally."
I'm so happy to be willing to appreciate my face, hahaha. ”
Shen Zhi noticed that the atmosphere in the hall suddenly stagnated for a moment, but it was all alive in an instant, and the ministers were full of smiles on their faces, and they echoed, as if they had been strangely stagnant for a moment just now
There is no general.
The emperor looked in one direction, half-propped his head, his face was drunk, but his face was very happy, "Brother Huang, you are also seventeen years old this year, have you ever thought about marrying a wife?" ”
