Chapter 39: Poisoning (2)
Yuan Yuheng stared at Chu Junxi's distant back, showing a triumphant smile, although he wanted Yuan Yongyan to die, but it was not to the point of exchanging his life for it.
You think that this king will really let you poison the emperor, you are just a pretense, poisoning is naturally someone else, as long as the emperor poisons your residence, even if you confess me, what I give you is only non-toxic and harmless flour, and even if you are covered in mouth, you will not be able to tell clearly.
Returning to Xinyue Residence from Yuan Yuheng's residence, Chu Jun thought about the countermeasures in his mind, poison naturally can't be done, poisoning the emperor of Gutuo, it is not a pity for him to die after the matter is revealed, Hou Yan is the first to take revenge on Gutuo.
With a lot of worries all the way, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a puff of smoke by the Qingshui Pond, Chu Junxi couldn't help but look in her direction, he had been in the palace for so long, and it seemed that he had never seen this woman.
Chu Junxi couldn't help but look at her carefully, her face was as white as jade, her eyebrows were like willow bends, her light red lips were light, she was wearing a long skirt with smoke and purple, and the corners of the skirt were embroidered with silver butterflies that were about to fly.
The water of the pool is turquoise and clear, sparkling, the woman sits on the rockery by the pool, looking down at the water wrinkled by the wind, the hair on her chest hangs down, her face is slightly gloomy as if she has infinite thoughts, and a faint sorrow haunts her. Standing so far away, I couldn't help but be infected by her sorrow.
Is he also the emperor's concubine? The emperor's concubines have seen it themselves, and Qiu Zhaoyi, who rarely shows up, has seen her, why haven't you seen her?
Thinking of Qiu Zhaoyi, Chu Jun couldn't help but think of the time she helped herself, and she couldn't see through her intentions.
"Ning Jieyu." Soft and faint voice.
Chu Junxi raised his head suddenly, thinking about the other party in his heart, the other party suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and anyone would be startled, "Qiu Zhaoyi." ”
Qiu Zirui frowned slightly, as if she had doubts.
Chu Jun smiled, "Qiu Zhaoyi rescued me from the cage, I should have come to the door to thank you in person." ”
"I just don't want to add more souls to this palace." Autumn Zirui said.
"It's my rudeness, and I'll come to thank you in person tomorrow." Chu Jun cherishes firmness.
Qiu Zirui's eyes fell on the clear water pool next to her, and she stared at the rippling lake, her eyes were gentle and quiet.
Chu Junxi found that the woman who was sitting by the pool earlier had left, and the scene just now seemed to be imagined by herself, and she was stunned for a while.
"Eldest Princess."
"Huh?" Chu Junxi didn't understand what she meant for a while.
Qiu Zirui said, "It was the eldest princess who was there just now. ”
The eldest princess? It turned out to be the emperor's sister, no wonder Qingfeng Pavilion didn't see her herself. But when Emperor Xian was seriously ill, he didn't seem to have seen this eldest princess, why is this?
Qiu Zirui slowly walked away, Chu Junxi thought that she had missed a good opportunity to ask questions, and she had always had a lot of questions about Qiu Zhaoyi's involvement in this matter.
The hard things in the sleeves always reminded Chu Jun to cherish the task given to him by Yuan Yuheng, and Chu Junxi's face was gloomy.
Five red candles were lit on the copper candlestick, the dim yellow candle flame shook lightly, and the candle tears were piled up at the feet.
Yesterday, he said that he would come to the door in person to thank him, and after breakfast in the morning, Chu Junxi called Linglong, "Have you prepared a gift for Qiu Zhaoyi?" ”
Linglong said, "It's ready, don't worry, master." ”
Gifts between concubines and concubines cannot be taken lightly, Chu Jun regrets not knowing the proportions, so he gives full authority to Linglong in this matter, and she will be able to do these things safely and securely.
"Am I okay with this dress?" Even in front of the emperor, Chu Junxi didn't care about this, but thinking that it was Qiu Zhaoyi who was going to see him for a while, Chu Junxi couldn't help but care.
Linglong nodded and finished the crescent moon with her eyes, "The master is naturally beautiful, so naturally he can wear anything." ”
Chu Junxi put his mind at ease, "Let's go." ”
With a character like Qiu Zhaoyi, what would her residence look like? She always gives people a sense of indifference, like a wisp of green smoke, which drifts away when the wind blows, and her dwelling may be ordinary, but the arrangement must be unique.
The vermilion gate was in front, and Linglong stepped forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, a palace man opened the door, and Linglong showed his intention.
The waiter's body was hidden behind the Zhu Gate, and only one head was exposed, "Our master is a little unwell today, and it is not easy to see guests." ”
Linglong looked back at Chu Junxi.
I said yesterday that I was coming today, Qiu Zhaoyi deliberately didn't see herself? Chu Junxi frowned slightly, and immediately understood the other party's thoughts, he was already the target of everyone in this harem, and it was normal for Qiu Zhaoyi to be afraid of causing trouble and not seeing him.
"In that case, then please bring the girl to convey my thanks, as well as a thank you gift."
Linglong offered the thank you gift with both hands.
"Yes." The waiter accepted the thank-you gift, and the vermilion door closed in front of Linglong.
Linglong was indignant, "This Qiu Zhaoyi is simply too rude, we have reached the door, and she has avoided it." ”
"Let's go." Chu Jun said with pity.
It's just that if you're afraid of getting into trouble, why save yourself? If it wasn't voluntary, could it be that the emperor asked her to do it? The emperor can appear in such a timely manner, Chu Junxi thinks of her use of herself, could it be that the emperor has eyeliner in Xinyueju? What about himself and Yuan Yuheng? Chu Junxi suddenly felt cold sweat on his back, fortunately he hadn't done it yet, otherwise......
Back in Xinyue Residence, Chu Junxi swept over the subordinates who were waiting on the side one by one, he was only close to Linglong here, not that he had no suspicions of her, but at that time she had no time to ventilate and report by her side, but it was not her, who should it be? The faces of the remaining nine people walked through their minds one by one, and they had no clue.
In the past, the emperor did not come for a few days, but this time Chu Junxi always felt unsteady in her heart, thinking of what the emperor said when she came to Xinyueju for the last time, the uneasiness in her heart was like a stone thrown into the calm lake, and the ripples expanded in circles.
No, the matter hasn't been revealed yet, and you can't mess with yourself, otherwise it's easy to fall into the hands of others, especially when Xinyueju has the eyes and ears of others.
Linglong's face was very bad when she came back from outside, she was the big girl of Xinyueju, she didn't have a bad face, and the other subordinates were suddenly frightened, and they didn't even dare to come out.
Chu Junxi said with a little amusement, "What makes you so angry?" Look at you scaring the others, as if this hall is like a ghost cave and a snake cave, and you don't dare to stay for a moment. ”
"Nothing." Linglong's hand paused, and he continued to sort out the clothes that the Huanyi Bureau had just recovered.
"Did you hear crazy talk outside?" Chu Jun said tentatively.
Linglong opened her mouth, and just when Chu Junxi thought that she was going to vomit quickly, she closed her mouth again, but the force on her hand increased.
Chu Jun took a sip of tea, she knew her delicate temperament, and she couldn't hide anything, "Say it." ”
Linglong finally put down the clothes that had been tormented for a long time, turned her head to look at Chu Junxi, and said cautiously, "If the slave maid says it, the master will be angry." ”
The matter must be related to himself, and Linglong's temperament will not swallow his anger, not to mention that the current Xinyueju is full of grace, "No." ”
Linglong muttered, "If the slave maid said that the emperor had spent the night at Lin Cairen's place these two days, wouldn't the master be angry?" ”
Chu Jun was slightly stunned, she had something in her heart these days, and she was looking forward to the emperor coming, but she didn't want the emperor to come, she had been in a contradiction, but she didn't expect the emperor to stay overnight in his palace if he didn't come in the past few days.
smiled with relief, "There are three thousand concubines in the harem, and it is a good thing that the emperor is wet with rain and dew." ”
There was a sour feeling in his heart, Chu Junxi knew how reluctant his smile was, and he really used himself. She turned her head to look out the window, the winter yard was depressed, even if she knew that he was not sincere in using herself, why was her heart so uncomfortable?
Linglong carefully watched the master's face, "Does the master really think so?" ”
"Of course." Chu Junxi's smile expanded.
"If the master is sad, don't force yourself to laugh."
Chu Junxi put away his smile and got up, "Let's go out for a walk." "Since I came to the palace, I have rarely gone out, and there are only a handful of places to go to the huge palace.
Knowing that the master was unhappy, Linglong quickly followed.
But sometimes that's the way it is, the more people you don't want to see, the more you can see them wherever you hide.
