Chapter 179 Flower Tea That Was Made Hands and Feet
Footsteps rang out outside the house.
Ximen Jingxuan's hand fell from Lin Xin'er's ear, and it fell a little reluctantly, he could feel it himself.
There was a soft knock on the door twice.
"Come in."
With Ximen Jingxuan's voice, Lin Xin'er also turned her head to look, she knew that the person who came could only be Yang Chen, and the matter should be considered an ordinary size, so he still had time to knock on the door, and his steps were not anxious.
Yang Chen pushed the door in and glanced at Lin Xin'er, probably asking Ximen Jingxuan if he wanted to avoid it.
"What's the matter?" Ximen Jingxuan asked directly and gave Yang Chen an answer.
"Mrs. Zhiqi has returned, but someone immediately behind her has heard that Princess Xuan's girl Yan'er has been poisoned in the palace before, but fortunately, she found it in time and has managed to get rid of it." Yang Chen said.
He wasn't sure if Mochizuki knew where Lin Xin'er was sent, so he deliberately hid the two keywords of Jinhuayuan and queen for the time being.
This news surprised Lin Xin'er, and blurted out, "Are you sure it's poisoned in the palace, not after arriving at Jinhuayuan?" ”
Yang Chen was stunned, it turned out that Mochizuki already knew Lin Xin'er's whereabouts, and the prince didn't hide anything from her.
However, Yang Chen misunderstood that the place of Jinhuayuan was guessed by Lin Xin'er herself. She knew that Mrs. Zhiqi was the person next to the queen, and Ximen Jingxuan dragged her to send Yiyao, which would definitely implicate the queen, looking at the complexity outside the palace and being difficult to control, it was better to hide quietly in Jinhuayuan to be more stable.
Ximen Jingxuan looked at Lin Xin'er with a little more approval in his eyes, he didn't remember how many times he admired this woman's intelligence, she would always surprise him from time to time. He knew that Mochizuki hadn't had time to order the Water Moon Palace to investigate Lin Xin'er's whereabouts, and now that she said this answer was all based on her speculation, and she could still be very sure of this answer, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Yang Chen in such a two-choice tone.
I remember that last night, in front of him, she stopped halfway through the analysis of Lin Xin'er's whereabouts, presumably she had already guessed it at that time.
Such a woman, if she is her own enemy, is terrible. Ximen Jingxuan's indifferent eyes gradually deepened, staring at Mochizuki, this woman is like a very thin but very resilient rope, as long as he pulls it gently, it can pull his thoughts, and his consistent eyes can be mixed with strange things.
These things, even Yang Chen on the side could see them clearly.
Can she only be her own enemy? Ximen Jingxuan's mind suddenly had such a question, what did he mean by asking? Do you still want her to stand on the same side as you and follow yourself until ...... Forever?
"Tell me the details of the news." Ximen Jingxuan said to Yang Chen, since this is the case, there is no need to shy away from it in the slightest.
"The person from Jinhuayuan said that it was Princess Xuan who sent the girl around her to report to the queen's mother, saying that Yan'er's stomach was suddenly and very uncomfortable, similar to the night before in the palace hut, and it happened that the girl who was newly accompanying her understood, saying that she had accidentally eaten something containing fragrant sprouts, and according to the two symptoms before and after, it was inferred that the poison could only be in the palace."
Yang Chen said, and then explained the characteristics of the herb.
"That's all that girl knows?" Ximen Jingxuan asked.
"Yes, it is said that the girl used to run a pharmacy at home, and she knows a little about some medicines." Yang Chen said, "Fragrant sprout grass is a very common poisonous weed, so I know." ”
"Very ordinary poison? Doesn't it mean that mixing it with healing herbs can become highly poisonous? There was some coldness in Ximen Jingxuan's voice.
Fragrant sprout grass, when Lin Xin'er was learning martial arts from her master before, she had also heard Chu Gongzi beside her say it, and she also recognized it, it was a very ordinary wildflower, only one of them was just a slight food poisoning, but if it was mixed with some herbs, it would have a highly toxic effect.
It turned out that the smoke before was hit by the fragrant sprouts, and she didn't recognize it, so it was really fortunate that she just pricked her fingertips at the time and didn't take the medicine, otherwise......
Lin Xin'er thought about it, staring at the teacup in her hand, suddenly her expression changed slightly, put down the teacup, and opened the paper bag on the table.
It was the unbrewed dried flower tea she had taken from the hut.
Ximen Jingxuan seemed to think of something as well, leaned over and stared at the bag of flower tea.
"This is it, this must be the fragrant sprouts." Lin Xin'er picked out a small leaf from the flower tea and mixed it in the tea, if it weren't for the bag of tea she made by herself, she would definitely not recognize this strange product, just think it was a type of flower tea.
Moreover, she didn't bother to pay attention to whether this bag of tea had been tampered with before, and she drank it......
Ximen Jingxuan's gaze followed Lin Xin'er and fell on the half-drunk teacup, and Qingbi's tea was still quietly left in the cup......
Lin Xin'er understood, the target of the poisoner was still her, but she didn't know that "she" in the hut was pretended to be by Yi Yao, Yi Yao has been allergic to flower tea since she was a child, and she wouldn't touch this bag of things at all, it must have been Yan'er who made tea, Yi Yao didn't drink it, so she drank it, so Yan'er poisoned her!
Although Ximen Jingxuan didn't know the changes between Yi Yao and Lin Xin'er, looking at this bag of tea, he could also understand what was going on.
Ximen Jingxuan quickly linked this incident with the last time Lin Xin'er was poisoned by arrows, and the two had the same effect, both of which contained a deeper conspiracy under the surface of the poisoning.
The last time Lin Xin'er was taken to the bamboo hut, only Leng Yanqiu and Ximen Jingxuan knew that the poison she was poisoned after being attacked by the arrow could also be transferred to Ximen Jingxuan through Huanhuan, so the target of the poisoning at that time was potentially aimed at him. Lin Xin'er didn't know this, her poison was almost able to affect Ximen Jingxuan, and it was his ruthlessness towards her that saved him.
And this time, if Lin Xin'er is poisoned, the next target will be the person who has not done anything at all, so who will be the person who may be framed? Who's doing it?
"How are you feeling?" Ximen Jingxuan's thoughts just flashed in his mind, and he set his eyes on Lin Xin'er, staring at her face tightly, paying attention to her expression, even if it was a slight change.
Lin Xin'er stared at the half cup of tea and sneered softly, it was indeed a good means to hide people's ears and feet if that person could think of doing tricks and feet in the flower tea, but when he was poisoned, didn't he expect that this bag of tea would also be discovered? Or did he not have time to take the package of physical evidence?
Lin Xin'er put her hands on her stomach, and she could feel a trace of colic, maybe the fragrant sprouts were just starting to react, and the pain was not strong.
