Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Art of Piercing Through the Wall
The palace is no better than other places, especially the food safety of banquets, which is checked by the internal affairs department at all levels. Whether it is the freshness of fruit and vegetable refreshments, or the selection of ingredients and taste of each dish, there is a special person in charge, so it is basically impossible to appear in the event of adding ingredients to tea.
Wen Tiantian naturally didn't understand these things when she entered the palace for the first time, but the problem was that no one knew that she knew all about medicine.
Wen Tiantian, who does not practice medicine for a living, is familiar with the taste and efficacy of various herbs, coupled with his keen five senses, can almost accurately tell the poison ingredients added to the tea.
But to her surprise, the person who delivered the refreshments was soon brought back by the two guards.
"The princess spares her life, the little one doesn't know anything!"
The little eunuch fell to his knees with a thud, wept bitterly, and kowtowed frantically for mercy.
Wen Tiantian's face did not change, and she sat on the chair and said coldly: "I haven't asked yet, so you assume that you don't know?" That's too early to tell. ”
After she finished speaking, the little eunuch suddenly looked stunned, and he didn't know how to answer with his mouth open.
"Don't be nervous, I invited you back mainly to see that you are pleasing to the eye, and I want to reward you with a cup of tea to taste." Pushing the cup forward with his fingers, Wen Tian looked at the little eunuch with a soft smile, "Drink it, and I'll let you go." ”
The little eunuch was stunned, the cold sweat of the big winter rolled down his forehead, and his eyes were full of horror.
In fact, Wen Tiantian was not sure who added the ingredients at first, and the back kitchen and the eunuch palace maids who handled it were all suspicious, but the little eunuch came up and shouted for mercy, obviously knowing about it, she planned to ask and find out who was behind the scenes.
The guard brought the teacup, and the little eunuch was so frightened that he trembled and wanted to cry without tears. Just as the tea was about to be poured into his mouth, he finally broke down.
"I say I say!"
Wen Tiantian gave a look, and the guard withdrew with the cup.
"Say, "Who commanded you, and for what purpose?" I advise you not to frame you, if you have the power in that person's hands, this princess will seek justice for you. But if you dare to deceive me, you know the methods of the regent. ”
These words are purely threatening, Qiu Yan will never use any means to deal with others in front of her, and it is clear that she is a fair and upright gentleman. The so-called "means" are all nonsense from her.
The listener was intentional, and the little eunuch trembled, and his words were not good.
"Back to the princess, the little one really doesn't know anything! Just now I met a palace maid on the road, and she stuffed me with a packet of medicinal powder, saying that she would put it in a teapot and bring it over. If I hadn't done it, I wouldn't have survived today! ”
The little eunuch cried, "You also know the fate of the minions in this palace, the little one only thinks about living one more day, if you don't do what she says, I will ...... I'll just ......"
Speaking of the back, he was so choked up that he couldn't make a sound, and it was distressing for the teenage little eunuch to say this.
Fang Guijun's face on the side was still cold, and he couldn't see pity. Wen Tiantian laughed angrily, got up leisurely and paced to his side, her slender fingertips swept over her sideburns, and a beautifully made silver hairpin jumped into her hand.
"There is only one chance, but you don't grasp it yourself, no wonder I am."
The sharp silver hairpin pointed directly at the center of the other party's eyebrows, and the little eunuch's cry stopped abruptly.
"Spare my life, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"
muttered to himself in a broken heart, and the little eunuch's tear-filled red eyes were gradually enveloped in black gas, and no trace of the whites of his eyes could be seen.
Wen Tiantian, who was always paying attention to his changes, immediately made a decision, and before the little eunuch burst out, the silver hairpin stabbed it directly!
Blood gushed out, and the little eunuch's body fell suddenly, and there was no more sound.
There was silence inside and outside the pavilion, and everyone watched in shock. No one expected that the seemingly weak and sweet young princess would shoot so ruthlessly, with a fatal move, and she didn't even blink her eyes when she killed.
Pulling out the silver hairpin, Wen Tiantian looked at the black blood on his hand with dark red eyes, and the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more intense.
"Take it down and bury it."
"Yes." The commander of the guards was the first to come back to his senses, and his attitude was a little more respectful. Waving his hand to let his men clean up the corpses and bloodstains, his eyes were full of complicated expressions.
Watching a few people clean up, Wen Tiantian was just about to explain, when suddenly his ears moved, and his eyes suddenly looked towards a rockery outside the pavilion, "Who is there!" ”
The commander of the guards was taken aback and immediately brought someone over to check.
Fang Guijun couldn't help but get nervous, "Tiantian, why don't we go back to watch the play, it's the same to wait inside." There were a lot of people over there, and even if there were assassins, they wouldn't dare to mess around. ”
This does make sense, but Wen Tiantian is uneasy.
"Old lady, there are suddenly some people with special abilities in this palace, and Qiu Yan is very likely to be dealing with this matter. The origin of this group of people is unknown, and it is very terrifying to start crazy, but they can't make a noise, and I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with it. ”
The sorcerer is not very human, Qiu Yan doesn't know spells, if there are more than these two puppets being manipulated, he will definitely be in danger walking alone in the palace.
"Xiao Yan!" Wen Tiantian turned around and shouted in a low voice, "Leave everyone behind to protect the old lady, you go with me to find the prince." ”
Xiao Yan is very mobile, and quickly deploys without question, and then stands behind her to protect her.
"Tiantian, you have to pay attention to safety!"
"Well, don't worry. Not only me, but Qiu Yan will also come back safely. ”
After a few more simple words, Wen Tiantian took Xiao Yan and left the pavilion and hurried towards the direction of the apse under Fang Guijun's worried gaze.
She didn't know where Qiu Yan went, but Fang Guijun said that the Queen Mother and the Emperor had just shown up and left, so it could be guessed that the Queen Mother might be staying with Qiu Yan to discuss things at this time. In this way, the apse becomes the best choice to avoid the guests who attend the banquet and deal with emergencies.
A dead horse is a live horse doctor, and Wen Tiantian plans to try his luck in the past. If she really encounters an evil sorcerer, at least she can cast a spell to destroy the other party, and she will never let Qiu Yan fall into trouble.
"Xiao Yan, how did you deal with this situation before?"
Xiao Yan was silent all the way, only concentrating on the surrounding movements. Hearing Wen Tiantian's question, he replied without hesitation: "Chop it up and bury it on the spot." ”
Burst!
Wen Tiantian stumbled under his feet, and almost didn't stand firm. I secretly said in my heart, these are all ruthless people, presumably using the tactics of crowds to cut the other party to the point where there is no longer the power to resist, and then simply and rudely chop up the eternal trouble.
I have to say that this is also a way to deal with evil magicians, but in this way, the manpower required is very large, and it is really a loss-making business to bury those puppets who have long lost their vitality with human lives.
"The power of the sorcerer is extraordinary, is it a bit hasty for you to send your life in like this?"
Xiao Yan glanced at her strangely, "Our lives are all Gongzi's, and they are worthless." ”
Gotta count her mouth.
Wen Tiantian glared at him and didn't say anything more, what kind of thing to say to this kind of person that everyone is equal is purely playing the piano to the cow, and the thoughts of master and servant in their heads cannot be changed.
The two of them had a clear goal and went straight to the apse. From a distance, you can hear the sound of babbling singing from the other side of the stage, and I met a lot of young men and women who don't like to watch the drama along the way.
When she arrived at the door of the apse, she stopped and listened carefully, and then stopped Xiao Yan, who was about to go over and ask the eunuch at the door to report.
"There's a lot of people in there, maybe doing business. Let's just get rid of the sorcerers, and try not to disturb them. ”
Xiao Yan nodded: "Then what should I do, are we waiting for the prince at the door?" ”
Wen Tiantian also had no idea, and the two hurried to come but stopped at the door and couldn't enter.
At this time, a cool breeze blew, and a shallow voice came to mind: find a place where no one is around, and use the method of piercing the wall.
This is...... Jiang Simo?
Wen Tiantian's eyes lit up, and she looked around but didn't find the other party's figure. Xiao Yan, who had been paying attention to her on the side, saw this and asked strangely, "Princess, what have you discovered?" ”
"Huh? Oh, nothing. Wen Tian prevaricated sweetly, and after a little thought, she decided to follow Jiang Simo's words.
"Xiao Yan, we can't go here, we have to find a place where no one is."
The two walked around the perimeter of the apse, and Wen Tiantian sneakily led Xiao Yan into a hidden place hidden by trees, close to the outer wall of the apse.
"Princess, let the prince know that it's not good for the two of us to stay alone in this kind of place, or go back." Xiao Yan looked around vigilantly, his brows furrowed, and finally couldn't help but speak.
Wen Tiantian glared at him, "What do you want?" Find a guard's clothes, even a single cape. ”
"Ah, isn't that okay? I stripped the guards of their clothes, and it was easy for people to mislead the assassins into breaking in, and they tossed around, and it would be inconvenient for you to sneak in and do something. Xiao Yan explained in embarrassment.
"The sorcerers were also assassins, and they were most likely coming for the prince, so it's normal to strengthen the guards. Besides, I'm wearing the clothes of the prince, who wouldn't know that I'm from the Fang Mansion? It won't affect our work! Wen Tiantian pushed him around and urged, "You go and come back quickly, I'm waiting here!" ”
Xiao Yan was coaxed away by her, Wen Tiantian leaned against the wall with her hands on her chest, and Jiang Simo's voice sounded in her head again.
"Put one hand on the wall, chant the mantra silently, and walk freely when the palm of your hand is empty."
The corners of Wen Tiantian's mouth twitched, Jiang Simo, aren't you lying to me?
I don't know what's going on on the other side of the wall, what if I pass through it and fall on the Queen Mother's table? Shall not be shattered by a knife and turned into a dish?
"What's the grind, he's going to fight over there, hurry up."
"Uh-oh."
Jiang Simo was really a busy man, not only staring at Fang Qiuyan's movements, but also casting spells to direct her to work.
Silently complaining in his heart, Wen Tiantian looked left and right sneakily, and after making sure that there was no one around, he put his palm on the wall and recited the spell according to Jiang Simo's instructions.
The spiritual power in the body slowly flowed along the meridians of the whole body under the action of the spell, and feeling the void coming from the palm of his hand, Wen Tiantian opened his eyes, and the red light in his eyes flashed.
Can this really work?
Confused, she moved her fingers against the wall. In a trance, my fingertips sank into the wall!
"Still not going in?" Jiang Simo's voice sounded again, obviously Qiu Yan's situation was urgent, and she had to hurry.
"Don't rush, don't rush, the clothes haven't arrived yet, it's not good if you go in and reveal your identity."
Jiang Simo really closed his mouth and stopped urging, but Wen Tiantian's heart became more and more uneasy.
The fingers on the wall didn't touch the object at all, and she dared to grab it and put her whole hand into the wall. Wen Tiantian was suddenly surprised and delighted, rolled her eyes, withdrew her hand and pushed her head directly.
The black head entered through the wall without hindrance, and Wen Tiantian, who was closing her eyes, felt a sudden scream in her ears, and opened her eyes suddenly in fright. In front of him, it was a little maid in palace clothes, staring at her with her eyes wide open and covering her mouth with a frightened face.
The atmosphere froze, Wen Tiantian cleared her throat in embarrassment, and pulled out an ugly smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm ......"
Before she finished speaking, the little palace maid suddenly rolled her eyes, and her body fell limply under the chair.
Wen Tiantian sighed lightly, and her gaze quickly swept over the surrounding scene. Although there were many sounds of people walking around in her ears, there was no one in this room, and the place where she walked through was just behind the large screen, and the fainted little palace maid was cleaning up the tea set on the table next to her.
After inspecting the situation in the house, he was about to go back to see if Xiao Yanhui had returned, when an exclamation suddenly came from outside the wall.
"Ah, Miss Wen, where is your head?"
