As for Concubine Yu, he still wants to keep her and interrogate her. Why did she conspire with Bai Bingxuan? What is the relationship between them?
He Lianzhi didn't tell Cen Xue about his actions. Firstly, he didn't want to make her worry. Secondly, she was too kind and didn't want to plead for those damn women just because she felt soft-hearted.
Qinglong acted very quickly, taking away Concubine Yu who was still awake early in the morning, and blocked the news to prevent even the slightest bit of news from leaking out.
"Bang -" there was a sound of the door being pushed open by an external force. Bai Bingxuan was still lying lazily on the worn-out carved wooden bed, looking at the uninvited person.
"Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Qinglong." Bai Bingxuan sat up from the bed, not seeing the desolate look she had when she was first brought in.
After looking around for a week, everything that should be there is still there. It seems that Concubine Yu still takes good care of her.
Qinglong ignored her words, turned around and took the food box from the little eunuch behind him, walked a few steps forward to the table, and took out the things prepared in the food box with his own hands.
"This is the rock sugar bird's nest that the king personally ordered to be prepared in the imperial dining room. He also ordered Qinglong to deliver it in person, and he will watch you eat it with his own eyes." Qinglong put the stew pot in the food box on the table and turned around with a pair of sharp eyes.
His eyes met Bai Bingxuan's astonished expression.
What does your Majesty mean by this? Does he know that she was the one who poisoned it? It's impossible. She did it perfectly, how could anyone discover it?
Bai Bingxuan met Qinglong's eyes, raised her head to face him arrogantly and said: "Did the king really ask you to send this here? I have been locked up here for several months. The king ignored me before. Why did the king
Did you suddenly think of me again today?"
"Qinglong doesn't know about this. Qinglong is just following orders. I hope you won't embarrass me..."
Qinglong must watch her eat this rock sugar bird's nest today before leaving.
Bai Bingxuan couldn't figure out Qinglong's intention, and she couldn't figure out why the king sent rock sugar bird's nests. However, she was sure that it could be explained if something else was sent today, but why was it the rock sugar bird's nest?
That woman Lin Cenxue was poisoned after eating rock sugar bird's nest. Is the king testing himself? If she insists on not drinking, it proves that she has something evil in her heart! But if she drinks it, if it is poisonous, how can she?
no……
Bai Bingxuan looked at the bowl of stew on the table. She struggled with whether to eat or not for a long time. Qinglong looked at her without saying a word. No matter whether she eats today or not, he will find a way to make her eat it in the end. It depends on her.
Which one do you choose?
After some inner struggle, Bai Bingxuan stood up slowly and walked slowly towards the round table step by step, as if she was having the final inner struggle.
"Please—" Qinglong urged.
Bai Bingxuan rolled her eyes at him dissatisfied. Taking advantage of this moment, she seemed to have made a decision. She opened the lid and found that the bird's nest inside was still warm and just right for eating.
The king's intention was obvious, he wanted to test whether she dared to eat it. The whole harem knew that the woman was poisoned by eating the bird's nest. The king must have doubted himself, but with the hairpin in her hand, the king had no idea.
There is no evidence, so I came up with this trick to test whether she dares to eat it!
Hum, in that case, she will eat it for them to see!
Bai Bingxuan sat on the stool and smelled the fragrance of the bird's nest. It had been a long time since she had eaten bird's nest. It had been so long that she almost forgot what it felt like. She picked up the spoon and slowly put a mouthful into her mouth to eat. Sure enough,
Bird's nest is still the most delicious.
Qinglong's eyes lit up and he ate it obediently. It seemed to have saved him a lot of effort.
Watching her eat it one bite at a time, he knew very well what was about to happen. He turned around and walked out of the house and stood in the yard, waiting for the moment when she became poisonous.
When Bai Bingxuan saw Qinglong turn around and leave, a proud smile appeared on her face. As expected, the king was testing her to see if she could eat the bird's nest quickly. If she ate it, she would be fine. If she didn't, the king would
They would definitely think that she had a guilty conscience and might let Qinglong kill her right here.
Who is she, Bai Bingxuan? She's not that stupid!
Before the proud smile could be removed from her face, she suddenly felt waves of severe pain in her chest, accompanied by spasms. Her face, which had been smiling just now, immediately became frightened.
"Bird's nest... is poisonous..." After struggling to squeeze out a few words, the smell of blood came from his throat, and he spit out a pool of blood, which dyed the rock sugar bird's nest in front of him red.
Qinglong was outside the door, listening to every move inside, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, it was time to go in.
When she returned to the house again, Bai Bingxuan was lying on the ground struggling in pain. Seeing Qinglong appear, she twitched her body and said, "Why... why..."
Qinglong looked at her dying appearance, took out a small box from his body, opened the lid and took out the contents for her to see: "I believe you must know this hairpin."
Bai Bingxuan looked at the hairpin in his hand. It was "Phoenix Nirvana". How could it be in his hand? It had been kept here all along. She had checked it in the morning. How could this be possible?
Her eyes widened and she stared at Qinglong in disbelief.
"Don't think that no one knows what you did. Concubine Yu has already told the king everything. If it hadn't been for the concubine's intercession, the king would not have allowed you to live to this day. But you have not changed your nature, but
I still want to harm the imperial concubine, but the king heard your conversation clearly last night~!" Qinglong told a little lie, waiting to see how she would react.
Bai Bingxuan listened to what he said and covered her chest tightly with both hands, Concubine Yu—Long Junyu!!!
"You bitch - how dare you betray me? Could it be that the king was in Huayin Palace last night?" She was so angry that her blood swelled, and she wanted to kill Concubine Yu.
He originally thought that she would help him, but it seems that she trusted the wrong person, this bitch! If her father had not advised the king back then, their small foreign tribe would have been razed to the ground long ago, let alone her.
He took the opportunity to enter the palace and compete with her for a man.
If her father hadn't stopped her and attacked her in the harem, she would have become a concubine long ago, just like that little bitch Dong Qing.
After all, if the Bai family hadn't given her and her tribe alms, she wouldn't have been qualified to live in Huayin Palace and be named a "concubine"!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His fair cheeks instantly turned ashen, his red lips turned black, and he was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of vermilion blood. His eyes widened and he fell to the ground motionless.
Qinglong looked at her last struggle and pain, and it seemed that she would never rest in peace...
The bad news came again. Dong Meiren was found dead on the bed by the palace maid early in the morning. She was vomiting blood and her whole body was stiff. It seemed that she had been dead for several hours.
One morning, people in the harem were panicked. Meiren Dong died on the bed, Concubine Hui from the Menglan Garden in the Cold Palace also died, and Concubine Yu from the Huayin Palace was missing. The king's attitude made everyone in the palace panic.
Dare to breathe loudly.
This news also reached Cen Xue's ears. Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to understand something, but how could so many people be involved?
"Zhi, I have something to ask you." Helianzhi had been wasting his time on government affairs for so many days, and now that he was busy, it really made him feel uncomfortable. As soon as he returned to the palace, he was caught by her again.
In fact, he knew what he wanted to ask about, the deaths of Bai Bingxuan and Dong Qing, and the disappearance of Concubine Yu.
Helianzhi took her back to the room. These people were all dead anyway, so there was no need to hide it from her. She wanted to know, and he would tell her.
Cen Xue walked beside him obediently, returned to the dormitory, and was picked up by her and sat on her lap, looking at her carefully, which made her feel butterflies in her heart.
"Zhi, why are you looking at me like this? Is there something dirty on my face?" Cen Xue looked at him unclearly.
In fact, she had just recovered from a serious illness. Her face was rosy and she looked particularly beautiful. He had not seen her appear so lively in front of him for a few days. He Lianzhi couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"I just want to take a look at you, take a good look at you, and carve your image here." As he said this, he held her hand and pressed it tightly against his chest.
Cen Xue smiled slightly, feeling as comfortable as the spring breeze blowing, and leaned into his arms, absorbing the familiar smell of him.
"Zhi, tell me what happened in the harem? Where did Concubine Yu go? How did Dong Mei and Bai Bingxuan suddenly die of poisoning?" Cen Xue knew that the truth must be with him, and it was impossible for him not to know.
Helianzhi licked her red lips and said, "They deserve to die! I said, if anyone dares to hurt you at all, I will definitely not let them go, but they want to make trouble on Tai Sui's head. I can't blame them."
Anyone!"
Cen Xue looked at his sudden change in expression and boldly asked, "Did they poison me? Concubine Yu did not disappear, but died?"
"No - that bitch is not dead yet, but his death is not far away." With these words, Helianzhi seemed to admit Cen Xue's problem.
Cen Xue leaned weakly in his arms, never expecting that her appearance would arouse the dissatisfaction of so many people.
"Promise me, don't think about this. These are not your fault. If they hadn't attacked you first, I wouldn't have repaid them the way they should. They wouldn't have died. It's okay. Everything is over. Now you
All you need is a good rest, and don't forget our happy event next month..." Helianzhi felt warm in his heart when he thought of this.
As soon as Cen Xue heard him talk about the happy event next month, her face turned red. Didn't she say it was postponed? Why was he in such a hurry?
"By the way, Zhi, your curse?" Cen Xue has never seen Witch Doctor Keser, and she doesn't know when he will undo the curse for Zhi.
"Don't be in a hurry. Doctor Keser has been severely injured in order to save you. He is still recovering from his injuries. Let's wait until he gets better in a few days." Seeing Cen Xue caring so much about him, He Lianzhi felt as if he had eaten honey.
sweet.
The two of them cuddled up to each other affectionately. There was me in you and you in me. They were like "I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals".
