Lu Qian looked at the former concubine with a hint of doubt.

Concubine Xi glanced at the eunuch on the side.

The eunuch took out a small porcelain vase and handed it to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian didn't reach out to pick it up.

"Actually, it's very simple, I just want my father-in-law to add some ingredients to the eldest princess's meal!" The former concubine put away her charm and said coldly.

After hearing this, Lu Qian couldn't help but sneer and said, "Concubine Xi, this medicine is definitely not a tonic."

Concubine Xi still smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, this is poison. But don't worry... Even if the eldest princess takes it, she won't die immediately! It will take a week or even half a month to attack, and it will definitely not be detected on your head at that time."

"Mother, you're not afraid. I promised you, will I tell the eldest princess?" Lu Qian said to the former concubine.

The former concubine saw that Lu Qian did not take the medicine bottle.

After getting up and taking the medicine bottle, he stuffed it directly into Lu Qian's hand, and said with a cold face, "Grandpa Lu is really thoughtful. So, this bottle is for you to take. Don't worry, as long as you finish it, this palace will naturally give you an antidote."

"What if I don't want to." Lu Qian said.

"Well, tomorrow in the palace is just one more corpse. When the time comes, the queen's people will naturally point the finger at Concubine Hua! And His Majesty is now favoring Concubine Hua, and he will definitely make this matter trivial, and find someone to settle the case hastily for the dead ghost!" Concubine Xi suddenly giggled as she spoke, and continued, "Gonggong Lu is a smart person, he should know how to choose."

Seeing that Lu Qian was still hesitating, Concubine Xi said with a cold face, "Xia Nihuang is murderous and extremely cruel! How many innocent lives have died at her hands! She's dead, and it's only going to make everyone applaud! Do you know? Bengong killed her to avenge a personal palace maid in Bengong! She was only fifteen years old, and she cut off her hands and feet, and let her bleed to death!"

Lu Qian subconsciously thought of the eunuch whose hands had been cut off.

He knew that since Concubine Xi had already tied him up, he was completely prepared.

It's really not worth dying for that female devil.

"Then how can I guarantee that you won't kill people after I get my hands on them." Lu Qian asked cautiously.

Concubine Xi walked up to Lu Qian and said, "I can't bear to let you die. If you kill the eldest princess, we will be our own people from now on. I have long heard that Gonggong Lu has a means to dissect it, and this palace still wants you to help me and regain His Majesty's favor. When the time comes, we join forces, and won't the entire harem be our world?"

It seems that Concubine Xi thought very carefully.

Although Lu Qian hated being threatened, he had no choice at this time.

glanced at Concubine Xi and said, "Niangniang, I hope you can keep your promise."

After finishing speaking, he twisted open the porcelain bottle and just wanted to take it.

was stopped by Concubine Xi, helped Lu Qian take a cup of tea and said, "Take it with water."

The porcelain vase contains some white powder, which is colorless and odorless when mixed with water.

After drinking all the teacups, Concubine Xi's smile became stronger, and she took out another bottle and handed it to Lu Qian.

"Father-in-law Lu, then, I'll wait for your good news."

After speaking, Concubine Xi let Lu Qian out.

On the way back, Lu Qian sighed secretly, don't offend women if you offend anyone.

I thought that when I went back, I had to find a bodyguard first, and I had to practice some kung fu myself. But if he knows some kung fu, how can he be coerced by the former concubine to take poison.

As long as you are in the palace, this kind of thing will definitely not be the last, and the taste of being coerced is too uncomfortable.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a person at the door of the outer hall of the temple, pacing back and forth.

"Your Excellency, you're back." Xiao Min saw Lu Qian from a distance, and trotted out all the way.

When she got closer, she found that it was Xiao Min, and her face and nose were red from the cold.

"It's the middle of the night, what are you doing outside? I'm not afraid of freezing to death." Lu Qian was moved in his heart, and he was distressed and blamed.

small

Min heard Lu Qian's scolding voice, and two tears fell aggrievedly.

"I'm worried about you... I just... Seeing that you and Concubine Li seem to have quarreled... You're not coming back... I'm afraid something will happen to you. I can't sleep... Don't know what to do? I just wanted to wait for the leopard master to come over, who knew if he would be on duty tonight."

looked at Xiao Min with her head lowered and said cryingly.

Seeing this, Lu Qian hurriedly comforted, wiping her tears while pulling her to the dining room. "Don't cry, I'm not worried that you're freezing to death? What should I do if I get cold?"

Xiao Min burst into tears and laughed.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Min saw the wound on Lu Qian's forehead and asked in surprise.

"Oops, what's wrong with your head? How did it break?"

Lu Qian waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and he accidentally broke it.

Xiao Min was busy looking for things to help Lu Qian deal with his wounds.

originally wanted Xiao Min to go back to rest, but she said that she didn't want to be separated from Lu Qian.

The two of them squeezed in the kitchen all night, and this was the first time that the two of them had been together so quietly at night.

"My lord, why are you sleeping here?" I didn't sleep long before I was woken up by a eunuch who got up early to cook.

Lu Qian had something hidden in his heart, and he couldn't sleep.

Let Xiao Min go back to catch up on sleep.

I went to find Xiao Lizi.

Xiao Lizi said that the food of the people on the eldest princess's side was also responsible for the people of Taimiao.

And the eldest princess's meals, in order to ensure safety, are also made in a separate kitchen.

Xiao Lizi said, and took Lu Qian to a separate kitchen.

There were only two little eunuchs in the kitchen, putting some prepared breakfast into a food box.

"This is the eldest princess's breakfast. When we're ready, we check it and then put a seal on it. The seal bears the name of the eunuch who handled it."

Xiao Lizi walked over with Lu Qian and introduced.

Seeing this, Lu Qian nodded and said, "Okay! You're all set, aren't you? Go and get busy. The eldest princess has said, let me serve him breakfast today."

The two little eunuchs didn't say anything and left.

"By the way, you go tell them. Xiao Min suffered from the wind chill last night, so she asked the kitchen to prepare some ginger tea and send it over." Lu Qian spoke out again and took Xiao Lizi away.

He was the only one left in the whole kitchen.

Lu Qian's eyes were a little cold, and he said secretly, "Eldest princess, if you want to blame it, you usually do too much evil, this is called committing too many injustices, and you will kill yourself!"

He didn't feel too much guilt, after all, Xia Nihuang was also notorious in the palace.

It's a pity that such a beautiful woman died.

After thinking wildly, he opened the porcelain bottle, poured the medicine inside into the white porridge, stirred it for a while, and sealed the food box.

Lu Qian didn't expect that all this would go so smoothly, maybe God couldn't stand it, and wanted to help her accept Xia Nihuang, the female devil.

So, he picked up the food box and walked towards Xia Nihuang's residence...
