Chapter Forty-Five: The Old Trick Repeats Itself

Chapter 45 The old trick is repeated again

Long Lan'er had a plate of osmanthus cake in her hand, and she sandwiched a spoon and was about to deliver it to her mouth.

This taste...... It was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, and Leng Yue suddenly brightened. I see...... Such a ghostly trick! She stretched out her hand and decisively stopped Long Lan'er - "Niangniang, this can't be eaten!" ”

Long Lan'er raised her head and smiled: "Isn't my sister hungry and wants to eat a piece?" Or is it poisoned here? ”

Leng Yue sighed: "It's not poison, but you can't eat it." She smelled the smell of red flowers, and if she hadn't practiced forbidden arts, her nose wouldn't be so sensitive at this moment.

No matter how innocent and ignorant Long Lan'er is, she already understands the meaning of her words: "Sister...... You're saying that here's what pregnant women can't eat? ”

Leng Yue nodded and asked, "What objects have you been touching a lot lately?" ”

Long Lan'er thought for a while and said: "No, you know that the emperor has banned my feet, and I can't get out, and the things in this Xinlan Palace have been taken care of by your hands, so I haven't touched anything that shouldn't be touched." ”

Leng Yue thought about it before and after, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "Jade bell, you have played with that jade bell." ”

Long Lan'er still didn't understand, and asked, "I played with it, but it was taken away by Concubine Yan." ”

Leng Yue said with some heartache: "Do you know how Bai Yuhe died?" ”

When Long Lan'er heard Bai Yuhe's name, she sighed and looked at Leng Yue in a daze. Leng Yue said miserably: "There is a poison in this world, it is not fatal when touched alone, once it encounters the drug, it will cause a blood collapse and die, and this poison is only useful for pregnant women." ”

Cold sweat broke out on Long Lan'er's forehead, and she said tremblingly: "That jade bell has been a matter for many days, how can it be...... How could it be ......"

Leng Yue sighed and said: "This is the power of this poison, as long as you touch it, it will be poisoned, it will not be done in normal times, once you encounter a red flower, even a little bit will cause poison to die." ”

"Sister, sister, won't I be able to eat in the future?" Long Lan'er was a little flustered.

Leng Yue shook her head and said, "With my sister here, don't be afraid." It's just that I don't understand who is trying to harm you now. Bringing you snacks is Concubine Yan's proposal, and it is impossible for the queen to connect with her to harm you. But Xue'er's death is pointed at the queen, who smeared the poison on the jade bell? If it was the queen, then how did she know that Concubine Yan would make such a suggestion today and prepare a snack with saffron? If it wasn't for the queen, how would Concubine Yan put safflower in the dim sum? Unless ......"

"Sister, say it quickly, unless anything?" Long Lan'er listened attentively, and when she saw Leng Yue stopping, she couldn't help but start asking.

Leng Yue's face showed a look of confusion: "Unless the queen has a spy from the Yan Concubine faction by her side, but the queen is not a fool, how can she keep a spy by her side?" I think that no matter how big Concubine Yan's ability is, it is impossible to put her hand into Qifeng Palace. ”

Long Lan'er thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, that's true, but it's so complicated, my sister can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out." ”

The two of them are each immersed in their own thoughts, who is the real culprit behind the scenes? Leng Yue thought about a lot of possibilities, but she was overturned by herself, and she couldn't help but laugh at herself: "In vain, I am still an elite in the police world, and I am running around like a headless fly at this moment." "I have a headache when I think about it, I don't think about it at all, it's just that Long Lan'er will live more carefully in the future.

A few days have passed, maybe the murderer is waiting, or the murderer is brewing a new plan when he sees that the plan fails.

Leng Yue has to go to the court with the emperor since she was named Changzai, and she can only move freely when she goes down to the court, and now although she has her own residence, she still lives in Xinlan Palace, and she can't rest assured that Long Lan'er can't go down. At this moment, as soon as she went down to court, she saw Concubine Yan's sedan chair parked in Xinlan Palace, and she panicked and hurriedly ran back.

Xinlan Palace is not very large, nor is it too elaborate garden, it is unique to the garden full of orchids and hot springs that do not freeze all year round.

Leng Yue walked into the garden and saw Long Lan'er and Concubine Yan counting the fish by the hot spring. Long Lan'er looked frightened and powerless, as if she was about to jump up and run away at any time.

She walked over, less than two meters away from the two of them, before Long Lan'er accidentally glanced back. "Sister, you're here......" She was in a trance, and her feet slipped for a while, and she looked like she was about to fall into the pool.

Concubine Yan's maid on the side was quick-eyed, grabbed her wrist in time with one hand, and with the other hand, was about to grab her waist and pull her back to the shore.

In the midst of the lightning and flint, Leng Yue saw that there was a little strange blue light in the palm of the maid's palm...... She didn't have time to stop it, so in a hurry, she threw out her waist card and smashed it on the wrist of the maid. The maid was in pain, her hand couldn't help shrinking, and finally she was empty. However, Leng Yue quickly stepped forward to support Long Lan'er and carefully protected her behind her.

"Chang Zai, do you want Concubine Lan's life?" Concubine Yan was full of color, and her eyes looked at Leng Yue coldly: "You deliberately prevented my maid from saving people, are you trying to murder the imperial heir?" His eyes glared fiercely at the waist card thrown by Leng Yue.

Leng Yue didn't laugh angrily, raised her head, and she glanced at Concubine Yan deeply. Concubine Yan is the daughter of a general, and I don't know how many fierce eyes in the harem have seen, but Leng Yue's shallow glance makes her feel terrified in her heart. The dark eyes, clear and cold, penetrate into the bone marrow. Concubine Yan seemed to be unable to bear it, and took half a step back, revealing surprise for the first time in her life.

The girl who was weak and couldn't help the wind suppressed her majesty with just one look. Leng Yue leaned over and picked up the waist card, glanced at everyone present, and finally spoke: "Niangniang, you want to ask me about my sin, right?" Her voice was cold and quiet, as if she were asking the simplest question of whether you had eaten.

"I don't want to escalate the situation today,...... So,, you're actually in luck. Leng Yueman said nonchalantly.

The cold arrogance in Concubine Yan's bones was aroused by her, and she finally suppressed her fear: "Are you threatening me?" ”

Leng Yue smiled slightly, her delicate face was bright and beautiful in an instant: "You might as well take it as advice, if the emperor knows, what kind of person is this amazing maid of yours...... I think, up and down the harem, I'm actually looking forward to watching this lively. Leng Yue didn't salute, helped Long Lan'er, and left.

Concubine Yan looked at her back, only to feel that the invisible power had finally been removed, and she breathed a sigh of relief. What kind of character is this little female official...... Bai Yuhe has her by her side, and now Long Lan'er is still by her side, she may be her real opponent.

Long Lan'er, who had been in a daze, finally came to her senses. She stopped crying like she did the day before, and slowly, she actually smiled. She smiled like a flower, very bright: "These women, if they don't harm the dragonborn in my belly, they won't give up!" ”
