Chapter 42: Drug Testing
Wang took Sheng Siyan's hand and calmly walked into the depths of the main hall of Anhe Palace.
Sheng Siyan lowered his eyebrows and followed Wang's side closely, trying to control his mood of wanting to look around.
"The Queen Mother, Sheng Qiye's wife and daughter are here." Lady Yao stepped forward and said.
The Queen Mother smiled and beckoned to Sheng Siyan, "Hey, you are the granddaughter of the Sheng family?" Come here and let the mourning family take a good look. ”
Sheng Qiye's family members are actually Wang and Sheng Siyan!
Zheng Suxin's eyes widened suddenly, and one hand grabbed the placket of her chest, as if she was very surprised. She never thought that this Sheng Siyan and the Wang family were really the descendants of the Sheng family!
She obviously asked Wu Changge to go to Haosheng to investigate, why didn't they find anything?
She remembered very well that that year, Sheng Siyan took the first place in that area in the entrance exam for Xiangrong Girls' School. After the volume was sent to her, she asked Wu Changge to beg his father to check the details of the Sheng family's mother and daughter to see if it was related to the descendants of the Sheng family in Shennong Mansion. Wu Changge sued her, and the old man Wu checked it and said that it was just surnamed Sheng, and it had nothing to do with the Sheng family in Shennong Mansion......
A cloud of doubt rose in Zheng Suxin's heart. - The teacher is very kind to her, she should be cautious, and not let those villains with evil intentions take advantage of the loopholes......
Sheng Siyan heard the Queen Mother call her over, quietly raised her head, looked in the direction of the head, and showed a timid smile to the woman on the phoenix-patterned throne. - Very much in line with her current status as a village girl.
A cold gaze slanted across and landed on Sheng Si's face.
Sheng Siyan couldn't help but shudder, and his eyes couldn't help but glance in the direction of that line of sight.
It turned out to be Zhou Huaixuan's big iceberg!
Sheng Siyan secretly grimaced in his heart, hurriedly retracted his gaze, blessed the Queen Mother on the phoenix-patterned throne, and then walked over.
Standing in front of the Queen Mother, Sheng Siyan half-hung his head, and did not dare to look directly at the Queen Mother's face. She knew that in front of the woman with the highest status in the Great Xia Dynasty, her little cleverness was not enough to see, so she was very aware of the times and did not make a head bird, and the more timid and cowardly she was, the better.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother asked Sheng Siyan a few words, but she was not interested in her, waved her hand to let her go down, and called Wang to say a few words.
The Wang family still responds to it to a certain extent, and has the demeanor of everyone, much stronger than Sheng Siyan.
The Queen Mother had a very good impression of this family, and nodded: "As long as you can make the emperor better, the mourning family can not blame the past." He said to Sheng Qiye on the side: "Sheng Qi, is your medicine decoction ready?" ”
Sheng Qiye was also a little uneasy, and when he heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It'll be fine soon." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Zheng Suxin: "Zheng Yiren, how to test the medicine?" ”
Zheng Suxin withdrew her scrutinizing gaze from Sheng Siyan and said with a smile: "I also asked Lady Yao to bring the big white who tested the medicine." ”
Dabai is the name of the rabbit that tested the medicine. There are many in the palace, and each one is called Dabai.
Sheng Qiye looked at the fat white rabbit that he had brought over, and twitched in distress.
"You feed a spoonful of this medicine to Dabai." Zheng Suxin was polite and authentic.
Sheng Qiye sighed and lifted the lid of the medicine cup.
A smell of medicine wafted out, no different from other medicines.
The people in this palace were used to hearing it, so they didn't care, and watched Sheng Qiye carefully pour a small spoonful out, and then feed it to the rabbit who tried the medicine.
Sheng Siyan watched Sheng Qiye feed the medicine to the big white rabbit, and felt uncomfortable all over. - There's her blood in this medicine! Is it really good to give it to the rabbit like this? =_=
Because there was too little venom taken out of the venom gland of the mountain wind that day, and after a few days, it dried up and evaporated a lot, Sheng Qiye was worried that it would not be enough, and remembered that Sheng Siyan had been bitten by the mountain wind, and there must be residual poison in the wound, so she squeezed out a little of the poisonous blood in the wound and mixed it with the venom.
The only medicine that Sheng Qiye brought this time was actually a mixture of Sheng Siyan's blood and the venom of the mountain wind.
Everyone in the hall looked intently at the rabbit who was testing the medicine.
No one noticed that General Zhou's eldest son, Zhou Dagongzi, suddenly turned whiter than snow at this time. He raised his hand and put it over his nose, trying to hold his breath.
He seemed to be the only one who could smell the sweet smell of the medicine, which had a fatal attraction to him. He felt thirstier and thirstier, like a traveler who had been looking for three days and three nights in the desert, and saw a clear spring appear not far away, but he could not run to drink it, but could only watch......
The rabbit who tested the medicine squatted on the table, looking at everyone in a daze with red round eyes.
Sheng Siyan asked curiously, "Is this okay?" ”
As soon as her words fell, the rabbit who had tried the medicine pounced, lay straight back, and fell on the table. It kicked its limbs a few times in the air, and then it didn't move.
Zheng Suxin walked over and took a look, and said loudly: "Poisonous!" This medicine poisoned Dabai! ”
The Queen Mother was suddenly furious, turned her face and said, "Someone is coming!" ”
There was chaos in the temple.
Footsteps, shouts, shouts, chaos.
In this chaos, Zhou Huaixuan really couldn't stand it. His dark brown eyes grew darker, and bouts of sweat broke out on his back.
The irresistible sweetness became more and more obvious, and seemed to seep into his body, steaming hot, and unbearable.
Zhou Huaixuan finally couldn't resist, he only had the bowl of medicine on the table in his eyes. He strode over, and wherever he passed, the ribbon of his clothes fluttered, and a cold wind stirred up.
He walked over to the bowl of medicine, picked it up, raised his head and drank it!
"Xuan'er!" General Zhou let out a heart-rending shout and pounced, but it was too late, and Zhou Huaixuan had already drunk the entire bowl of medicine. General Zhou couldn't believe that his eldest son actually drank this bowl of highly poisonous medicine in full view of everyone!
Zheng Suxin's beautiful eyes flowed, and she glanced at General Zhou quickly, and thought bitterly, he ...... I still have this eldest son in my heart......
Zhou Huaixuan put down the medicine bowl and boasted: "Good medicine!" "The sound is as lubricated as fine gold velvet satin, mellow and fragrant.
The people in the hall quieted down, looked at Zhou Huaixuan in a daze, waiting for him to fall to the ground with his head raised and die like the rabbit Dabai who tried the medicine.
But they waited for a long time, and Zhou Huaixuan didn't die.
Not only did he not die, but his face even gradually became ruddy, not as pale as the jade just now.
Seeing this situation, the Queen Mother slowly stretched out a hand to prevent the Imperial Forest Army outside from rushing in.
Sheng Qiye immediately shook off the hand of the chamberlain who came over to grab him, and said loudly to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, you see, this medicine will not poison people!" ”
Zheng Suxin didn't understand what was going on, she subconsciously retorted: "However, Dabai, who tested the medicine, is indeed dead." ”
For a moment, Sheng Siyan thought of the king cobra, the unlucky king cobra that bit her. She didn't die, the snake died......
It's a strange resemblance to what it is happening now. The rabbit who tested the medicine died, but Zhou Huaixuan, who drank most of the bowl of medicine, was fine......
Sheng Siyan shook his head, trying not to connect the two. What's more, she knew that even if she said it, except for Sheng Qiye and the Wang family, no one in this hall would believe her words.
What she has to do now is to help her father Sheng Qiye clear the charge of "trying to poison the emperor with poison", which is also to save her own life and her mother's life.
"Queen Mother, this medicine is not poisonous. You see, Master Zhou will be fine after eating. Sheng Siyan's clear voice was very clear and pleasant.
Zhou Huaixuan put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky outside the hall fixedly, his brows furrowed more and more tightly.
"However, it is also true that Dabai, who tested the medicine, is indeed dead." Zheng Suxin didn't look at Sheng Siyan, and said straight to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother regained her indifferent complexion, neither nodded nor shook her head, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes fell on Sheng Siyan.
Sheng Siyan glanced at the dead rabbit and said, "Da Bai who tested the medicine is dead, but how can you prove that it was poisoned by the medicine?" ”
When Zheng Suxin heard this, she only felt funny. She turned around, looked at Sheng Siyan and said, "Little girl, be honest and don't try to quibble." -- Everyone saw that Dabai died after taking the medicine, wasn't he poisoned by the medicine? ”
Sheng Siyan said secretly, just waiting for your words, she looked up with a smile, looked at Zheng Suxin, and said slowly: "That's not necessarily. Besides, what the eye sees may not be true. ”
