Chapter 4: The Queen's Poisoning, Jinpa's Mystery
Danguo, in the Yufeng Palace, the enamel colored porcelain candlestick candlelight is dim, the hollow incense burner in the house is rising, and there is no breath except for the queen's sickness. Behind the screen, the queen was lying on the carved dragon and phoenix Chengxiang red sandalwood bed, and there was no trace of blood on her face, just like a hibiscus that had been swept by the wind, vulnerable to a blow, and her skinny body was covered with a thick golden silk phoenix brocade quilt.
The queen trembled and stretched out her hand with exposed green muscles, and summoned Leng Shuying and them: "Yan'er. YU'er. Shuying, you're all coming closer. ”
Gongsun Jinyan hurriedly stepped up: "The queen mother is a child who is not filial, which makes the queen mother worry day and night, and fails to take into account the feelings of the queen mother." After that, Narcissus covered her face with the sleeves of her skirt and cried bitterly, and the pear blossom cried. Gongsun Jinyu stepped forward and lightly supported the queen's Chu back: "Queen Mother, Erchen has brought my sister back, I wish to ask the Queen Mother to recuperate with peace of mind, and leave the rest to Yu'er!"
The queen raised her head and looked at Leng Shuying kindly: "You were only twelve years old when you came to Dan that year, at that time, you were dressed in brocade clothes, and your eyes twinkled like stars looking at me, and it was snowing that day, and your face somehow made it look like a little flower cat, even if you looked unkempt, you were very handsome." My car passed by you, and when I saw you and asked you to get on the wheel, you didn't have a little fear, and I was wondering whose young master this was, and then I learned that you were actually a daughter, and you were really a difficult and smart child; Jinyan likes her sister so much, my sister screamed, although Jinyu didn't speak, he took a dress and put it on you, and now that the three of you are back, it feels so good. ”
Shuying gently stepped forward to hold the queen's hand with her hand, feeling that the queen's pulse was weak, as if she was poisoned, Shuying gently put the queen's hand back into the quilt: "The queen is weak, she said too many words today, I am afraid that it will hurt the fundamentals, and please rest the queen." Jin Yu twisted the corners of the quilt for the queen, and said coldly: "Your Highness. Princess, stay in the palace and take care of the queen, and I'll go get some food. ”
Leng Shuying withdrew from the Yufeng Palace, and the heavy snow outside covered the palace in silver. Lianbu walked through the backyard of Yufeng Palace, and vaguely heard someone talking in the Jiuqu Corridor, Leng Shuying hurriedly turned around and hid behind a tree, only to hear: "Why do you say the weather is getting colder and colder?" Another voice said: "But isn't it, this palace is the coldest, you see such a cold day, the one in Yufeng Palace is sick, but there is not even a waiter." ”
The fierce cold wind blew a few snowflakes and fell on Leng Shuying's clothes, as if to tell something. Leng Shuying turned around, only to see the two fathers-in-law bring a meal over, and the two fathers-in-law saw Leng Shuying coming, and immediately bent down and saluted: "I've seen Miss Shuying," Leng Shuying: "Flatten, is this meal for Yufeng Palace?" The two fathers-in-law looked at each other: "Yes, the slave will be sent over quickly." Shuying: "Give me the meal for the two fathers-in-law, I'll just send it over, you see it's freezing this day, it's better to bake the stove," another father-in-law said: "This is what Your Majesty ordered, and we want to deliver the food by hand, if there is any problem, we can't afford it." ”
Leng Shuying took out a few ingots of broken silver from his waist and gave them to the two fathers-in-law: "It's freezing this day to add a new dress to the two fathers-in-law." The two fathers-in-law looked around and were extremely silent except for the cold wind and the sound of snow, so they reached out to catch the broken silver and said, "This is easy to say." ”
Leng Shuying took the meal and looked at it, pressed a delicate silver needle from under the pearl earring on the left, tried that the food and refreshments were non-toxic, breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he swept to the silk flowers folded into a brocade on the dinner plate. This is used by the palace nobles to wipe their lips after meals, Leng Shuying tried it with a silver needle, and the silver needle immediately turned black, and sure enough, someone poisoned it.
Leng Shuying twisted the silver needle into the pearl earring, wondering who was going to poison the queen, the king? If it is the king, an edict can be obtained, Leng Shuying carefully looked at the silk flower brocade hand, pressed the corner of the brocade with his hand, there is actually a leaf-shaped dark pattern in the lower corner of the brocade, this dark pattern is familiar, Leng Shuying recalled where he had seen it, and suddenly it became clear in front of his eyes, it was picked up in the Zicui Palace of Tianxuan Kingdom that year, and he wondered who put this dark pattern brocade? What does it have to do with Tianxuan Palace? Why do you want to kill Queen Dan now? Does the bloody storm in the Prime Minister's Mansion have anything to do with this?
