74: The queen's face turned pale
Guan Ruyi's face flashed with a hint of unnaturalness, and a hint of sinisterness flashed in his eyes. Xiyin took the fragrant tea from the palace servant's hand, pretending that she didn't see the sharpness, took a shallow sip, and then whispered
Then he said.
"If the queen also thinks that the poison was caused by the concubine, then the concubine really overestimates the queen's intelligence."
Hearing Xiyin's straightforward and rude words, Guan Ruyi's face turned pale, and he looked at Xiyin in shock. However, he saw that the woman sitting down looked calm and composed, her eyes were as clear as a spring, and there was no trace of artificiality or pretense.
False commitment.
-----Did he really blame her wrongly?
However, judging from the situation at the time, she was indeed the biggest suspect in framing him. Moreover, she was the most favored in the palace, and she should also want to ascend the throne of the queen the most.
"The Queen smells very good."
Xiyin suddenly murmured something irrelevant, then lowered her head and took a sip of fragrant tea, and then murmured softly, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
"But the order of this fragrance... can be improved a bit."
Guan Ruyi's back suddenly stiffened, and she suddenly looked at Xiyin with wide eyes and some disbelief. In the palace...some words were always only half-said, or she mentioned secretly, if she was a smart person, she would say it first
I immediately heard the problem inside.
Shen Xiyin said that the order of the incense seasonings needs to be modified, then there must be something wrong with the incense.
His long fingers couldn't help but clenched. Guan Ruyi felt a chill all over his body, and he began to ponder in disbelief. This fragrance... But his sister found many ancient books to find it with great difficulty, and she also asked about the relevant information at that time.
The imperial doctor said there is nothing wrong with the fragrance.
"Why did Concubine Lian say this? The fragrance I smell is very pleasant, especially at night. I slept very well."
Suppressing the trembling in her heart, Guan Ruyi spoke as usual, but her weak tone betrayed her inner panic... Xiyin naturally knew that she was doubting her words, and did not mince words with her. Anyway, Guan Yunyun kept saying what he said.
This time she embarrassed herself, so she had to be punished.
------Lest she never know her identity.
"Queen, where is the second lady?"
Xiyin deliberately did not answer the queen's question. Instead, she asked the official about Yunyi's whereabouts. If she guessed correctly, she must not be in Qifeng Palace, but near Ouyang Liefeng. She should find a way to get close to Ouyang Liefeng.
"Maybe we should go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. My sister said earlier that the flowers in my Imperial Garden are bright and beautiful, and they are not found in other places, so I like them very much."
Xiyin lowered her head and straightened her sleeves, just smiled faintly, and ignored the queen's secret provocation. Naturally, the queen's palace was full of expensive things, so how could she have them in the palace of other concubines.
