Chapter 205: Plum Garden Fire, Thunder Means!
"Something soon, someone is already coming." Baili Anning looked back at the door, and saw the Duchess of Weiguo Zhang's family walking in with her daughter Zhao Ruyun.
Baili Anning suddenly whispered: "Ning Hua, I'll deal with it, you go back to the house quickly." After speaking, she stepped on Shen Ninghua's skirt suddenly, and a black footprint was immediately printed on her clothes.
"Ah, Ning Hua, I didn't stand firm, I didn't mean to, you go back to the house and change your clothes."
Shen Ninghua looked at Zhang apologetically: "Mrs. Zhang, if you miss me, I'll change my clothes and come over." ”
Entering the room, Bai Wei hurriedly took out the alternative clothes: "Miss, which one do you choose?" ”
Shen Ninghua opened the note in his hand, and when he saw what was written on it, his eyebrows moved suddenly: The queen is drugged, be careful.
The queen drugged, what kind of medicine? When to take the drug? What are the consequences of the drug? None of them were explained clearly, and the handwriting seemed very sloppy, apparently written in a hurry.
Baili Anning will not be untargeted, thinking that he must have heard some rumors, in this case, he can only strengthen his precautions: "Bai Wei, tell Qingque to take care of the guests in the courtyard, and let the trustworthy people do everything in the food, tea, and everything, and there must be no mistakes." ”
"Yes, miss."
chose a smoky cloud butterfly skirt, Shen Ninghua replaced the hosta, and put the exquisite pearl on his head.
Looking at the arrangement in the plum garden, the guests who came to participate in the plum banquet were full of praise: "The princess really has a delicate heart, look at the warm tent curtains, pillow seats, tea cups and wine pots around here, which is not exquisite and gorgeous, amazing." ”
"Yes, the plum blossoms in this yard are a must, there was just a snow a few days ago, and now it can still bloom in the snow, and it has not been affected at all, which shows the princess's intentions to protect."
"There is also the ice incense made by the princess, I heard that many masters in the palace have trouble sleeping at night, and they can soon sleep peacefully after lighting this incense."
"yes, that's unexpected."
Shen Ninghua smiled, and her beautiful face looked particularly noble: "The ladies praised it falsely, Ning Hua just happened to make a little spice, thanks to the praise of the queen's mother, but it made Ning Hua feel embarrassed." ”
"What did the princess say, I heard that the emperor liked the ice incense you made very much, and now there are ice incense made by you in several main wombs in the palace."
Shen Ninghua chuckled, her smile was humble and polite, but her heart had already made waves, she had heard the movement in the palace, but she didn't expect that it had reached the point where there were ice incense in all concubine palaces, in order to diversify the risk, she made a lot of ice incense, and sent a lot of people respectively, now it seems that if the queen really does things in various palaces, then it will be difficult for her to escape from the involvement.
Not long after the banquet began, someone spoke: "Princess, we heard that you are going to teach us how to make spices, I wonder if it is true?" ”
Shen Ninghua nodded: "Actually, Bingluo incense is very simple to make, the raw materials are easy to obtain, and there is no need for too complicated processes, if you ladies like it, Ninghua will teach you." ”
"Well, that's great."
"The ingredient should be plum blossoms, so let's go over and have a look." Wang, the wife of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, took the lead in getting up, causing everyone to sit still and get up and walk under the plum tree.
Shen Ninghua's eyebrows moved slightly, at this time, it was naturally inappropriate for her to sit again: "I'll tell you ladies how to collect petals." ”
Everyone was elated, smiling around the plum trees, looking up at the various plum blossoms looking for the best angle to collect.
Suddenly, Shen Ninghua felt his heart skip a beat, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the edge of the plum garden.
I heard a firecracker, followed by fireworks and crackling.
His heart was beating faster and faster, and before Shen Ninghua could say a word to leave, he saw fireworks falling from the wall, just in the middle of the plum garden.
"Ah, it's on fire!"
"Oh my God."
Those sparks fell on the plum blossoms, like a drop of water falling in hot oil, only a snort was heard, a plum tree was ignited, the fire spread rapidly, the surrounding plum trees were affected one after another, and the guests who admired the plum blossoms in the plum forest panicked and crowded to run outside.
Bai Wei stepped forward to protect Shen Ninghua: "Miss, go quickly." ”
Shen Ninghua's eyes were reflected in the firelight, and his eyes shook violently: "Bai Wei, leave me alone, I'm fine, hurry up and save people first, and then put out the fire!" ”
"Yes, miss."
What the hell is going on, not that the white phosphorus powder has been destroyed, why are these plum trees still on fire?
Shen Ninghua was unguarded, and was knocked to the ground by the people who rushed out of the woods, and he was about to be trampled under the feet of the people who ran out later.
"Miss!"
The green finch stepped forward, but it couldn't catch up because the distance was too far.
At the last moment, Chu Junyi stepped forward and shook the people around Shen Ninghua away and pulled her up: "Ninghua, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, save people."
"Hmm." Chu Junyi frowned and nodded, the light in his eyes was calm and composed, "Don't panic, it will definitely be fine." ”
A group of guards came quickly, splashed water with water, and those who did not have water simply shoveled snow from the ground and threw it on.
The fire spread violently, but the flames were not very large, and it was snowing, and it was very fast, and it was extinguished in a short time.
The ladies and ladies, however, were in a state of utter disarray, some with mixed hair and makeup, others burned by the flames, and cries and screams. A good plum garden, and in an instant, only a mess remained.
"Bai Wei, tell the maid to prepare water for the ladies and ladies to clean, and in addition, bring the muscle-building cream in my medicine cabinet, so that the ladies and ladies can't suffer a little loss." ’
"Yes, miss."
"Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen, how could a good Merlin catch fire just after the snow, there must be something strange in this, I will definitely catch the real culprit and give you ladies an explanation!"
At this time, no one will listen to her, and they are clamoring to go home.
"Ladies listen to me, this princess has asked people to call the imperial doctor, and soon the imperial doctor will be able to rush over, here is the best ointment, not only to ensure that there is no scar, but also to make your ladies more beautiful, I guarantee in the name of Princess Zhaohua, I will definitely not let your ladies be affected at all!"
She has brought out the title of princess in her speech, firstly to increase the credibility of her words, and also to deter everyone, after all, she is a princess, even if she is wrong, she can't be too offended.
Mrs. Shao Shi of the Ministry of War was the first to stand up, her forehead was injured, her hair was also damaged, and the beads and hair ornaments had long since fallen to where they fell: "I'll come first, I believe in the princess." ”
Shen Ninghua's heart trembled, and she looked at the Shao family with more gratitude, this is the third time that Mrs. Shao has spoken out to help, and she remembers this kindness.
Bai Wei hurriedly asked someone to come forward and ask Mrs. Shao to take her to the room, and after carefully cleaning it, she applied the ointment prepared by Shen Ninghua.
"Huh? How can this ointment work like this, and it doesn't hurt immediately when you apply it? ”
"Madame Hui, this ointment is a muscle-building ointment concocted by the princess according to the records of the medical book, even if the injury is serious, it will not leave the slightest scar."
"That's ...... so"
With Shaw's demonstration, everyone calmed down a lot, and they all stepped forward to ask the maid to help clean the wound.
Seeing that the scene was under control, Shen Ninghua's breath in her heart slowly relaxed: The queen mother is really good, such a big battle, just to frame her, she is really willing to pay the cost!
The situation had just been brought under control, but suddenly there was movement at the door.
Chu Junyi raised his head sharply and looked at Zhou Quan, the new commander of the Praetorian Guard who came in at the door: "Why did Lord Zhou come over, but there is something to look for?" ”
"I've seen the princess, I've seen the princess, the emperor has called the princess and the horse into the palace for questioning."
Enter the palace...... Questioning...... This is not a good word, and once it involves questioning, it means that something must have happened and it has been implicated in them.
Shen Ninghua naturally thought of this, glanced at Chu Junyi, and faintly guessed in his heart, if something happened in the palace at this time, there must be only one possibility, that is, something happened to the spices!
Bai Wei stepped forward, worried in his heart: "Miss? ”
"It's okay, you keep an eye on the princess's mansion, you must make sure that everyone cleans up their wounds, and then let people leave after taking medicine, and don't let the ladies and ladies have the slightest inappropriateness."
If these people make trouble again at this time, the consequences will be really serious.
"Yes, miss, don't worry, the slave will make sure that all the ladies and ladies are safe."
Chu Junyi looked at Zhou Quan, saluted and thanked him, and said, "Thank you Lord Zhou for your patience, let's go." Zhou Quan just said the word question, obviously reminding them that it is good to sell to them, and this sentiment needs to be remembered.
The two got into the carriage, Shen Ninghua was extremely unsteady in his heart, and always felt that things were developing step by step out of control, as if an invisible hand was pulling them forward.
"Ninghua, it should be a matter of spices, if the preparation we made before is scrapped, then there is a second plan, no matter how smart the queen is, it is impossible to be a last resort.
"I understand." Shen Ninghua nodded, "By the way, there is nothing going on in the court, right?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the five princes and others hate me very much, and I guess that Panlong Villa was exposed and has something to do with us."
"How could he have guessed?" Baili Jinze seems to be gentle, but he is extremely suspicious in his heart, although his power is considerable, but he lacks a henchman who can be fully trusted, so that if something happens to him, the entire force will be affected. She just figured out this vein before she made a move, in order to suppress the forces secretly cultivated by Baili Jinze in one fell swoop.
"Could it be that he has more counselors around us that we don't know about?"
"No way, he doesn't have any counselors around him, and he doesn't trust them." Shen Ninghua said resolutely.
Chu Junyi was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask her why she was so sure, but she heard a sound of breaking the air, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she pulled Shen Ninghua into her arms.
A feathered arrow flew over with a swipe and nailed deep into the carriage!
