Chapter 57: Assassination
"Don't eat, don't eat, if the eldest sister doesn't come, I won't eat anything!" Yang Xiaoyao lost her temper, swept her arms, and swept all the food on the table to the ground. Just now, this mouthful reminded him of Wu Shengnan and Shen Mu. At the beginning, she said that if there was something delicious in the future, she must eat it with her three sisters and brothers, and now she is allowed to eat roast suckling pig alone, which makes her feel a sense of shame of betrayal.
Lan Ruxuan didn't expect that this matter would be self-defeating in the end. Although Yang Xiaoyao also cried before, she had never lost her temper so much, and even the table was lifted, and the precious white jade little milk cat in her arms jumped far away.
Queen Lin Yuwei had been hiding in the dark just now, and when she saw Yang Xiaoyao losing her temper, she knew that she couldn't hide anymore. He walked out slowly with a smile, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, what's the matter? Why are you waiting, why are you making the princess angry again?"
The queen asked, and all the attendants in the room bowed in fear, saying 'I don't dare.'
Yang Xiaoyao didn't care about this, and said angrily to Lin Yuwei: "Queen Mother, I want to see my eldest sister and second brother, you promised me that as long as you comfort me, you will let me see them." It's been a few months now, and if I don't see them again, I'll ...... Never eat again!"
This 'queen mother' made Lin Yuwei feel excited, this is the result of a month! How much time and how much emotion did she spend to make Yang Xiaoyao scream. If only she could forget about those two people, but she also knew that this kind of thing was in a hurry, it needed to be planned slowly, and simmering time could always change everything. But the premise is that the three of them must not be allowed to meet.
"Meng Yao, I explained it to you. Now the situation is complicated, and it is not as simple as you think. Not letting you meet is also to protect them, and you must know that there are some 'darkness' in the empire that is used to the extreme. Lin Yuwei gently stroked Yang Xiaoyao's hair, her face full of love as if she were a real mother.
In fact, not all of her current attitude towards Yang Xiaoyao is so utilitarian, and a large part of it comes from maternal instinct. Yang Xiaoyao's past poor life experience and thin body aroused her sympathy, and from the first time she saw her, she already planned in her heart that Yang Xiaoyao would be treated as her own daughter.
"It's safe in the palace, the queen mother, you can bring them to the palace too!" Yang Xiaoyao made a suggestion that sounded reasonable, but this suggestion was destined to never be agreed.
Lin Yuwei was also very troubled by Yang Xiaoyao, and every time she had to think of a suitable reason to prevaricate, so that she couldn't think of a reason now.
And just when she was about to find another justifiable reason to prevaricate, she suddenly heard Lan Ruxuan exclaim, and when she looked up, she saw that all the maids in the room showed frightened and frightened looks.
What happened? Lin Yuwei followed Lan Ruxuan's gaze and saw that the little white jade milk cat that Yang Xiaoyao had always liked was falling to the ground in pain, convulsing, and her body was spreading a strange ghost red.
Because he heard Yang Xiaoyao inadvertently say that the little milk cat is very cute, Duan Hongri deliberately went to the Northern Xinjiang Star to find this white jade little milk cat and sent her to the palace. The white jade cat belongs to the fifth-level demon beast, famous for its flawless white body, and is one of the favorite pets of many young ladies, needless to say, its one hair is enough for most ordinary people to earn for a few months.
Yang Xiaoyao is also very fond of this little milk cat, always hugging and playing on weekdays, and hugging it at night to sleep, and likes to secretly talk to it if she has anything in her heart. At this time, the little white jade milk cat was twitching in pain, and it only took only two seconds for it to completely stiffen and move.
"Xiaobai!" Yang Xiaoyao was anxious all of a sudden. It was fine just now, why did it happen in the blink of an eye?
"Don't go!" Lin Yuwei grabbed Yang Xiaoyao, who was about to rush over, and pressed her firmly in her arms. The silver teeth were clenched, and a pair of beautiful eyes contained furious thunder. She was already trying her best to control it, but the green tendons on her forehead still jumped uncontrollably.
This white jade cat is obviously heavily poisoned, and she happens to know this poison. This poison is called 'Ghost Moon Red', it is truly colorless and tasteless, it is usually like water, it cannot be detected at all, and it will only be poisoned at a certain time, and it only takes a small tenth of a drop to poison a dragon.
The attack was so violent that it was too late to help. What is even more frightening is that the poisoned person's whole body will turn ghost red and turn into a new source of poison, and anyone who comes close to the corpse will continue to be poisoned, and so on until thirty people are poisoned.
Of course, this poison is not something that everyone can refine, and in the official records of the Longhua Empire, 'Ghost Moon Red' has only appeared three times in total. The three poisons were all important people who left a strong mark in the history of the empire, and there was once one who was the emperor of the Longhua Empire, and it can even be said that it changed the history of the Longhua Empire at least three times.
After hundreds of years, I didn't expect Ghost Moon Red to appear again, and it was the second time it appeared in the palace.
Looking at the puddle of white liquid in front of the white jade cat, Lan Ruxuan's face instantly turned pale. It was a Huiyuan soup specially prepared for Yang Xiaoyao. Because the imperial doctor once examined Yang Xiaoyao's body, saying that she had been malnourished for a long time and her physique was weak, so she specially prescribed a prescription for tonifying soup, which could consolidate the foundation and restore the vitality that her body lacked in the early years.
His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered the imperial doctor to make a bowl every day and send it with lunch, and Yang Xiaoyao also knew that this medicine was good for her, so even if she lost her temper and didn't eat, she would drink this bowl of soup.
Only today there was an accident. Because he was so excited that he tore off all the dishes on the table, the soup happened to fall to the ground. And the white jade little milk cat was greedy for a while, and licked it on the ground, so the previous scene appeared.
This can really be said to be the auspicious people's own natural appearance. If it weren't for Yang Xiaoyao's over-excitement and breaking the soup bowl, I'm afraid she would have died now.
"Seal off the Heavenly Wind Pavilion, the Imperial Kitchen, and the Royal Hospital, and no one is allowed to leave. Lin Yuwei felt that she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. Now that the royal family is weak, there is finally a Yang Xiaoyao, and seeing that ZTE is promising, some people are impatient to jump out. This matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end, if they can poison Yang Xiaoyao's soup, they will also poison the emperor's soup, which means that as long as they want to, they can poison anyone in the palace, and they shudder when they think about it.
"Meng Yao, follow me, don't leave my side for a moment from now on. In addition to the anger, Lin Yuwei was still a little afraid. Yang Xiaoyao's talent has awakened, and her future achievements are limitless, but at this time, she is only a teenager after all, and she has not officially chosen a career. Now she is as fragile as the little white jade milk cat, unable to withstand any wind and waves. If such an assassination attempt is not successful, there will definitely be a second or third attempt, and how many times will they be able to escape it at that time?
The princess of Allure was poisoned and assassinated, and the entire imperial capital star was shaken. When the matter reached Li Zhengxing's ears, His Majesty the Emperor in a fit of rage smashed three tables in a row. So just half an hour later, the Divine Sect Bureau and the Templar Inquisition, which were directly under the control of the royal family, scattered as if they had smelled a frightened beehive.
And because of the reappearance of 'Ghost Moon Red', the Imperial Ministry of Justice also imagined that it was like a red-eyed bull, and everyone went crazy up and down. The Minister of Justice signed the decree as soon as possible, and the three temples of Dali and Dajue under the Supreme Court of the Empire moved together, and the Department of Justice under the Supreme Procuratorate of the Empire, Qingtian Prison, and the subordinates of the Inspectorate listened to the investigation together, and countless secret agents spread throughout the empire, looking for any possible clues.
