Chapter 190: The Storm is Coming
If you can't tell from the pulse, you can only check from what you are around.
Several people inspected the things in the palace at the time, but fortunately, Fu Jingchao did not have many palace maids waiting in the palace on the grounds that he liked to be quiet, especially the study and bedroom, without his consent, the palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to enter without his consent.
This movement did not attract attention.
Shen Xingwan was the first to check the incense in the room, and there was no problem.
"Is it the hand that comes from the food you eat?" Shen Xingwan was puzzled.
Hongling shook his head, "Since we found out that something was wrong, we have been very careful with the food we entered, and we have focused on checking it, and there are no problems." ”
There was a stalemate for a while, and Cicada Yi didn't check out anything wrong.
Fu Jingchao pulled Shen Xingwan's hand, "It's hard to see each other once, let's sit down and talk together." ”
As for the poison, he really can't find out, he will find a way to leave the palace.
Whoever makes him not live, who he plays with his life! Don't even think about it...
Shen Xingwan was dragged by him to sit by the window of the study, and sighed, "Why did you say that you suddenly got so miserable, when we first met, you were still the unbeatable Royal Highness of the Prince." ”
"Then were you hooked on me at that time?" Fu Jingchao looked at him expectantly.
"No, I sometimes think you're pretending." Shen Xingwan hit him mercilessly, his eyes still sweeping around the room, trying to find out what was wrong.
Soon it was lunch time, and the dishes rewarded by the Queen Mother were delivered, and Shen Xingwan stayed here to eat with Fu Jingchao.
Don't wait for the palace maid when eating, Hongling uses a silver needle to test the poison for each dish, Fu Jingchao is eating, and he is indeed very cautious.
The weather in June is like a child's face changing, the morning is still scorching, and the afternoon is cloudy.
"It looks like it's going to rain." Shen Xingwan looked out the window.
The light in the room dimmed instantly.
Soon, a palace maid came in and lit the lamp, first lit the glass lamp on the desk, and the small one was transparent and bright, which instantly illuminated the desk.
But one lamp was not enough to illuminate the whole room, and on the walls on either side of the study, there were beautiful candlesticks with carefully carved candles on them.
The palace maid raised her hand to light the candle, and the whole room was lit up into daylight in an instant.
The candles used in the palace are naturally the best candles, not only have no peculiar smell, but also have a faint fragrance.
After lighting the lamps, the palace ladies retreated.
There was a thunderstorm outside, and Hongling glanced at it with some concern, "It's raining so heavily, it's very inconvenient to go back later." ”
"Then stay." Fu Jingchao said, "Stay in the palace for the night." ”
"I don't dare." Probably because he watched too many palace fighting dramas in his previous life, Shen Xingwan was quite in awe of this deep palace.
"The Queen Mother summoned you in, so that no one will be mad at you." Fu Jingchao said soothingly.
He was very calm from beginning to end, whether it was seriously injuring himself or becoming a relative house arrest poisoning.
His Royal Highness, who was unrelenting in his spirits back then, after experiencing so many things, was finally worn off the edges and corners and became mature and stable.
Shen Xingwan's gaze couldn't take his eyes off the two beautifully made candles.
Hongling looked at her suspiciously, "Does the girl also think the candlestick looks good?" ”
Everything in the palace is really the best, even the candlestick. It's all well designed and very nicely done.
Smelling the extremely faint fragrance, Shen Xingwan said, "Do the candles in the palace smell so good?" ”
"I heard that in order to mask the smell of the candle itself, the candles in the palace were made with spices." Hongling explained.
Shen Xingwan retracted his gaze, wondering if he was too sensitive.
Soon someone from the Queen Mother's side came and informed Shen Xing that it was not too early and that it was time for her to leave the palace.
Cicada Yi, who found nothing, used a last trick to cut Fu Jingchao's wrist with a knife and took a small tube of blood to take away.
Hoping to find something out of the blood, this is the last resort.
Fu Jingchao sent her to the door in a wheelchair, "You wait for me obediently outside, I'll come out to find you soon." ”
Shen Xingwan bent down and pulled the blanket on his leg for him, "Don't mess around, now is not the time to act rashly." ”
Fu Jingchao's eyes were slightly dark, "I have a sense of proportion." ”
Shen Xingwan looked back at the room that was bright into the daylight, and always felt that something was wrong in his heart.
Fu Jingchao followed her gaze, "What's wrong?" ”
Shen Xingwan's eyes moved slightly, "I want to take a candle with me, it's best not to be discovered." ”
"You suspect there's something wrong with the candle?" Fu Jingchao's tone was slightly dark.
Shen Xingwan shook his head, "It's hard to say." ”
Hongling quickly blew out the burning Wang candle, cut off a piece, and mixed it with the fresh playthings that Shen Xingwan brought out of the palace, which was not conspicuous at all.
Then the candle was lit again.
"I'm leaving."
Shen Xingwan took the cicada clothes to the Empress Dowager's palace, and Fu Jingchao sat in front of the door and watched her walk away.
The rain was still very heavy, Shen Xingwan came to the Queen Mother's palace with an umbrella, and saluted the Queen Mother with the old lady to say goodbye.
The entire Cining Palace was lit into daylight, and many special court candles were lit in the palace.
The Queen Mother rewarded a lot of things and told them to be careful on the road.
Shen Xingwan was absent-minded, but fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't say anything to her, mainly talking to the old lady.
The two were soon sent to the palace gate by the female officials around the Queen Mother, and because of the heavy rain, the Queen Mother also specially gave a sedan chair for the two to sit on.
When I got out of the palace, it was also very smooth, because there were female officials around the Queen Mother following, and the royal guards at the door just took a symbolic glance at the things that the two brought out.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he transferred to his own carriage.
Old Madam Shen's spirit relaxed, and her whole person looked extremely tired.
"I haven't entered the palace for too long, and I really don't fit in."
Back then, she was also a frequent visitor to the palace.
"How's it going?" Old Madam Shen was still very concerned about Fu Jingchao's affairs.
Shen Xingwan hesitated, "It's hard to say..."
Old Madam Shen, "That means there's a harvest?" ”
"I'll be sure when I go back and look closely." Shen Xingwan said cautiously.
At the same time, many people paid attention to their seemingly ordinary trip to the palace.
At least the wealthy nobles of the entire Shengjing received the news.
The past, which has been silent for many years, is reminded again.
Queen Xie back then, but she was a dragon and a phoenix among people. The current Empress Xiao Xie is far from the point of view of means.
Mrs. Shen is the daughter-in-law of the Shen family and the daughter of the Xie family. Back then, the former crown prince and Queen Xie had accidents one after another, and after today's son ascended the throne.
This old lady avoided Jiangnan overnight, and she was disheartened and couldn't come out.
It's hard not to think about it again at this juncture.
Moreover, in this year's Spring Festival, the Shen family, who had not been born for a long time, sent several children of the Shen family to participate.
That Shen Mochen is very good.
Does this announce the return of the once strongest clan, the Shen clan?
Many people smell the smell of the coming storm.
