Seeing that he was about to reach the west corner of the Imperial Garden, Ning Xinyi's heart became more and more uneasy.

Just then, a cough came from the left. Ning Xinyi involuntarily paused, followed the voice and looked, seeing that it was Gu Zhiheng. Gu Zhiheng was standing beside him, naturally He Nuanliang, but there was another person, Xu Qinghe, who he had just mentioned with He Suo.

When a few people saw Ning Xinyi coming, their expressions were a little more serious. Gu Zhiheng took a step forward, looked at Ning Xinyi and asked, "I just heard that you are not in Cuiyi Palace, and the emperor did not announce it last night, where did you go so early in the morning?" ”

Ning Xinyi listened to Gu Zhiheng's question, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart. I don't know if Gu Zhiheng knows or doesn't know when he asks like this, so he immediately became at a loss, but he just looked at the ground under his feet quietly with his eyes and didn't speak.

When he was at a loss, He Nuanliang's voice was already in his ears, "It's been a quarter of an hour since the morning fell, so let her go back earlier, lest the emperor go to Cuiyi Palace to find her." ”

He Nuanliang said as he glanced at Xu Qinghe. Xu Qinghe naturally understood, and immediately no longer hesitated, took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, stepped forward, and quickly handed it to Ning Xinyi.

Ning Xinyi naturally did not hesitate, took the porcelain vase from Xu Qinghe's hand, looked at the porcelain vase in his hand, but was a little puzzled in his heart. There was also confusion and incomprehension in his eyes, and he looked at Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe looked around, met Ning Xinyi's puzzled gaze, and explained: "This is the unique soul-breaking poison of the Western Regions, you only need to buy the people in the imperial dining room, and unknowingly put this poison into the diet of the crown prince and the crown princess." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ning Xinyi's body couldn't help but tremble when he heard the poisoning, and when he opened his mouth to say something, He Nuanliang's voice came from his ears, "This Shen Huo has always loved He Suoyi, so he may want to go to her palace to eat, so this poison only needs to be in the diet of the crown prince and the crown princess." As for the side concubine Chu He, it was useless. ”

Ning Xinyi heard the voice, and he didn't know what to do. He carefully tucked the porcelain vase in his hand into his sleeve, and had no choice but to bow his head in response, "Yes." Looking around, seeing that it was not early, it was about to be lunchtime, and then said softly: "It's almost lunchtime, if the emperor goes to Cuiyi Palace, it will not be good." ”

After speaking, he casually glanced at Xu Qinghe, who was standing on the side, then turned around and left quickly.

Ning Xinyi left the imperial garden, but did not return to Cuiyi Palace, but slowly went to the imperial dining room. I was extremely anxious in my heart, and I couldn't stop thinking for a moment in my mind, and the steps under my feet were not fast.

Involuntarily, he took out the porcelain vase hidden in his sleeve, and his eyes stayed on the porcelain vase, frowning, full of sorrow. During the trip to Puying Temple, I promised Lin Qingyuan that I would take care of him, but now, ......

Recalling what Xu Qinghe said, what was in this porcelain bottle was not something else, but poison. And just listen to this name, break the soul and break the soul, and you will know that it must be very powerful. Gu Zhiheng wanted to put this poison in the diet of Shen Huo and He Zhiyi, and the two of them would definitely not be able to escape the worry of their lives.

Thinking of this, Ning Xinyi only felt a panic in his heart, and the hand holding the porcelain bottle clenched tightly, and his brows were twisted together. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the imperial dining room, Ning Xinyi paused, and only stood outside the courtyard, looking up at the plaque in the imperial dining room, very entangled.

If Gu Zhiheng and He Nuanliang's thoughts are left to him, then he and Lin Qingyuan will not be able to explain. What's more, she can also see that this is clearly Lin Qingyuan's sweetheart, how can she be willing to see him uncomfortable?

He sighed deeply, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small eunuch walking to the side. Take a closer look at its appearance, it looks like a little eunuch who has just entered the palace, and he wants to be deeply involved in the world. Ning Xinyi didn't think about it anymore, only took a step forward and stopped in front of the little eunuch.

When the little eunuch saw this, he was stunned at first, and he naturally knew about the one in front of him. This Ning Xinyi has been favored by the emperor since he entered the palace, and now the situation seems to have been prosperous for a long time, and he is very proud.

Seeing that Ning Xinyi blocked his way, he was a little panicked in his heart, and he didn't know if he had made any mistake and bumped into this Ning Guiren, so he knelt down in a panic and said, "The slave sees Ning Guiren." ”

Ning Xin Yizai carefully looked at the little eunuch in front of him, his heart relaxed slightly, and then glanced at the little eunuch lightly, and said softly: "Get up." ”

After the little eunuch got up, he pursed his lips slightly, and glanced around to see no one. waved his hand at him, and lowered his voice behind him and said, "Since you know the identity of this palace, then this palace wants you to do something." ”

After a pause, he didn't wait for the little eunuch to ask questions, so he said straightforwardly: "If you agree, the palace will give you a hundred taels of silver after the deed, and you take the silver out of the palace and live your happy life at the ends of the earth, which is much better than serving people in this palace." ”

The little eunuch was extremely worried at this time, and his body couldn't stop trembling slightly, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure, and continued to listen to Ning Xinyi's words, "If you don't agree, with the status of this palace in this palace, you will be punished for the crime of disrespect, and you will be much clearer than this palace in terms of what will happen to you." ”

When the little eunuch saw her mention this, he was already frightened, and hurriedly knelt down again, and said in a panic: "The slave doesn't dare, if the noble man has something to order, the slave will be the noble man before and after the saddle." ”

Ning Xinyi glanced at the little eunuch coldly, nodded with satisfaction, helped the little eunuch to stand up, pushed the porcelain bottle in his hand, and whispered in his ear: "You quietly put this medicine into the prince's meal, and then leave the palace immediately." The palace will arrange for someone to answer outside the palace and give you the promised 100 taels of silver. ”

The little eunuch was already in a cold sweat behind him, but he tried his best to hide his panic on his face, and after listening to Ning Xinyi's words, he quietly hid the porcelain vase in his hand into his sleeve, and said in response: "Noble man, rest assured, the slave will handle this matter well." ”

Seeing this, Ning Xinyi was also relieved. Now he is only ordered to put the poison in Shen Huo's meal, if Gu Zhiheng asks He Nuanliang at that time, he will say that the little eunuch has made a mistake.

After thinking for a moment, a round of light flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand at the little eunuch, and turned back to Cuiyi Palace.

The little eunuch regained his calm countenance, entered the imperial dining room, and checked the progress of the preparation of lunch as usual.

Carefully took out the small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, waited for an opportunity when there was no one around, hurried to Shen Huo's dining place, and sprinkled all the medicine in the porcelain bottle on all the plates.

After covering everything up, the little eunuch hurriedly hid the porcelain vase in his sleeve again, looked around, and saw that no one found him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and sneaked out of the imperial dining room.

Time passed little by little, and everywhere in the palace, everyone's thoughts were different, but they all had ghosts. No one noticed that there was a little eunuch who went straight out of the palace from the imperial dining room, but it was unimpeded and smooth.

In the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime, and Li Xin wanted to ask Chu He what he wanted to eat at noon today, but he didn't find her in the dormitory. I walked all the way to the small kitchen and saw Chu He busy. This should have been done by the maids, so when she saw that she was holding a small bowl and mixing something, she hurriedly greeted her and said: "Niangniang, just leave these to the slaves and maids, Niangniang go and rest, watch your body." “

Chu He turned sideways slightly, saw Li Xin, just smiled faintly, and saw that Li Xin wanted to take the bowl in her hand but still avoided it. Li Xin looked at her a little strangely, but Chu He just said, "Li Xin, you go and help this palace peel longan." Hongu wanted to make something for His Highness himself. “

Li Xin knew that Chu He had good intentions for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he didn't say anything more to dissuade him, and nodded to peel the longan. It's just that every time I turn my face sideways and see Chu He, there is always a little sadness in my eyes. Shen Huo didn't want to see her, she was naturally uncomfortable in her heart, how could Li Xin not know.

Probably because he was afraid that Shen Huo had already passed the meal, Chu He didn't dare to delay, and he was busy all the time. After boiling the longan soup, he carefully put it in the lunch box, handed it to Li Xin, and advised: "Li Xin, you go and send this bowl of longan soup to His Royal Highness." Be careful not to spill it. She said, still as cautious as if she had put something very important in the hands of Risin.

Li Xin answered, and should have turned to leave, but suddenly turned around and asked, "Why don't you go with the slave and maid?" “

After hesitating for a moment, she still shook her head, "Your Highness didn't want to see me, and I don't know if Your Highness will give me a good look at this time." But after that, she paused, but then followed, "Let's go together." “

Li Xin was naturally happy in her heart, and Chu He listened to her words. However, when she arrived at the main hall, she still regretted what she had just said. Shen Huo was already planning to eat, but the people under the lunch had not yet brought it. He sat at the table with the scroll in his hand, but his mind was not on the scroll at all, and his eyes were a little foggy. But when he saw the person walking towards this side in the distance, he couldn't help frowning.

"The concubine has seen His Highness." She said and blessed her body slightly.

Shen Huo just glanced at her indifferently before he said coldly, "Get up." She looked up at Shen Huo with some astonishment, hurriedly stepped forward and put the lunch box on the table, and took out a delicate small bowl from it and gave it to Shen Huo.

However, before the joy disappeared, she saw a big hand reach over and take the bowl, and said to her impatiently: "The palace is going to eat, you can go." She looked at Shen Huo in disbelief, but Shen Huo's eyes were still very cold, like the wind and frost of the harsh winter made her heart cold.

But what he said was so crisp that she had no reason to refuse.
