This thought suddenly popped into Xia Qing's mind, startling her. Driven by this thought, she entered one of the rooms through the dim light of the sky and reached out to see the person lying on the bed sleeping, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Under the nose, after feeling the breath surging on the fingertips
At that moment, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was not dead; then he tried several others, and they were all angry. They must have just fallen asleep, but no matter how hard she pushed, no one woke up. If she guessed correctly,
These people must have been drugged, rendering them drowsy.
At this time, dinner had just been served, and the person responsible for delivering the dinner was Liu Cheng. No need to ask, he must have tampered with the meal, but she couldn't figure it out. Liu Chengming pretended to be Xianyue's person.
If he wants to take action, he should be targeting himself. Why should he charm these irrelevant people and let himself go?
"What on earth is he planning?" Xia Qing said to herself, but what she didn't expect was that a voice sounded behind her, "Is the lady asking the slave?"
Xia Qing was startled by the sudden voice, and turned around quickly, only to see Liu Cheng standing behind her at some point, with a strange smile on his lips, "You...why are you here?"
Liu Cheng lowered his head slightly and said: "I saw that my wife was not in my room, and I was worried that something might happen to her, so I came to look for her. Now that I see your wife safe, I feel relieved." As he said that, he glanced at the figure hiding on the bed and said
: "If you have anything to say, Madam, please go out and say it. Don't disturb Madam Jin's rest." The person living in this house was the Jin family who was once the fourth concubine. She went crazy within a few years after entering the cold palace.
After walking outside, Xia Qing stared at Liu Cheng and said, "Why do you want to stun them?"
"Only if they are asleep will they not interfere with the slaves' actions." Faced with his words, Xia Qing said coldly: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Liu Cheng smiled slightly and said, "I will naturally know when the third watch comes. At this moment, I'd better go back to the house and rest."
Faced with his words, Mrs. Xia suddenly laughed, looked at the full moon that had just climbed up the treetop and said, "Do you think that relying on Zheng Jiu, you can rise to the top and become prominent in the palace from now on?" Don't wait for Liu Cheng.
In reply, she said again: "You are wrong. Neither Zheng Jiu nor the master behind Zheng Jiu will be prosperous for long!"
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment and then said: "Then according to what the lady said, who should I follow, the lady?"
Xia Qing's smile faded and she said coldly: "I know what you are thinking, but everything I said is the truth and there is no lies. The man in Kunning Palace has been in glory for so long, and now he has reached the end of his life.
If the time comes, continuing to follow her will only lead to death."
Liu Cheng smiled and said, "But in my eyes, the Queen is like the sun in the sky. Even if there are a few dark clouds covering the sun, the clouds will soon clear out."
Xia Qing shook her head and said: "I'm trying to persuade you, but it's a pity that you are stubborn and will regret it in the future."
"Whether this servant regrets it or not, it has nothing to do with the lady." After saying that, Liu Cheng turned around and left, no longer speaking to her.
Amidst the chirping of insects, the full moon gradually rose to the sky, and in the distance, the time for the watch was also heard, "bang bang bang", it was the time for the third watch.
Mr. Xia, who was sitting in the room, tightened his hands and looked at the closed door. Liu Cheng said that the third watch time had arrived, and he should take action soon.
It's just that she couldn't figure out why Liu Cheng had to wait until the third night before taking action. But she had never heard of someone having to choose the right time to kill someone. Or... was there something else?
After waiting for almost a stick of incense, there were footsteps outside, and then someone opened the door and walked in. When Xia Qing saw the appearance of the person in front clearly through the weak candlelight, she stood up in shock.
blurted out: "Is it you?"
The visitor was Xianyue. She walked slowly to Xia Qing and said with a smile as cold as water: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you miss me, sister?"
Xia Qing regained her composure and responded with a smile that was several times colder than hers, "How could I not want my sister to treat me so well, but I didn't expect that my sister would condescend to a place like this.
"
Xianyue folded her sleeves and sat down on her chin, which had almost lost all its paint, "In order to see my sister, let alone a mere cold palace, even in the underworld, I will definitely overcome all difficulties and dangers to meet you."
Xia Qing smiled half-heartedly and said, "Then wouldn't I be honored?"
Xianyue looked at the broken lamp on the table and said indifferently: "There was a time when there was no hidden knives in our smiles and no intrigues between us. We were good sisters who sincerely agreed to each other. I never thought that one day, I would meet you.
We have come this far.”
A cold light flashed across Xia Qing's eyes, and she stared at Xianyue and said, "You and Hongli forced me to reach this point. It is the evil consequences you have planted!"
Xianyue said coldly: "So you not only want to harm me and Yong Cang, but you also want to harm the emperor!"
"Yes, you two owe me this, and you should pay it back." At this point, Xia Qing smiled and said: "Looking at you, you must have found something. Let me guess, you are here tonight,
Do you want to ask me what medicine I used on the emperor?"
Jin Ping scolded: "If you know someone, just tell me quickly."
Xia Qing said warmly: "Can you tell me so that you can go rescue Hongli?" Before Jinping could answer, her expression suddenly became extremely ferocious. She slapped the table with both hands and stood up and said sternly: "Don't even think about it. You are trying to kill Yongxuan. I
I want all of you to die and all of you to be buried!"
"I'm afraid you don't have this chance." Following these words, Xianyue Zhizhichun took a pill from his hand and said, "Do you recognize it?"
Xia Qing's pupils shrank slightly and she said in a cold voice: "Sure enough, you found me."
Xianyue slowly said: "Snake poison, when restrained by medicine, is as long and thin as a hair, but once it penetrates into the human body, it will immediately take shape, either as a snake or as a turtle, biting everywhere in the body.
, I have a splitting headache, and it will even attract bites from external snakes. I really can’t survive or die, and there is no cure. Am I right?”
If Xianyue found the medicine she had collected, it was still expected, then what she said now was really unexpected. Even she had not known all the symptoms of snake poison, but Xianyue actually said it one by one.
, such as numerous family treasures.
"How do you know?" Facing Xia Qing's question, Xianyue smiled faintly, "Let me guess, the reason why you don't use this extremely vicious snake poison is because you yourself have never found a way to control it.
Once the medicine shell is broken, no one knows whether the poison will attack me or yourself."
Xia Qing felt chilled by what she said. When she wanted to find this bottle of voodoo worms, she tried to have someone open one, but the voodoo worms immediately got into the person's nose because the voodoo worms were too thin.
, they didn’t even notice that even the person who was penetrated only felt his nose was a little itchy and had no idea that the poisonous insect had entered his body.
