Chapter 39 Unpredictable Poisoning (2)
"Then I won't compare either."
"Why?"
"Because you are a man and I am a woman, and they say that a good man will not fight with a woman! In addition," Meng Xinzhu tugged on her wide skirt, "don't say that I will fight with you when I wear this. I have to be careful not to fight with you."
You will trip over it, so let’s not talk about it.”
Hongde Longqiu looked her up and down and said, "You are dressed too plainly. Where is the silk and satin that I rewarded you with before? Why don't you make it?"
"I'm not interested in silk. These cloth and linen clothes are more comfortable to wear."
"Do as you like. It's getting late. Let's pass on the food."
For seven days in a row, Hongde Longqiu lit the palace lanterns in Zhuyuan and rested his head on Meng Xinzhu's hair every night. He found that he really liked the feeling of the soft hair sticking to his face, and he also liked seeing Meng Xinzhu staying overnight when he saw him.
She furrowed her brows and liked the helpless look in her eyes even more.
During the day, Meng Xinzhu still curled up in the hammock, continuing her journey of learning about the Moon Country through books.
"Your Majesty, let's have a cup of tea."
Meng Xinzhu smiled at Lianhua, took the tea cup and put it to her mouth, but she stopped. She smelled the tea carefully and frowned, "Lianhua, what kind of tea is this?"
"The emperor gave it to me yesterday. He said it was a new tribute and he wanted to give it a try."
"Bring it to me and take a look." Meng Xinzhu put the tea leaves to her nose and smelled it. It didn't smell like this. "What about the water for making tea?"
"From the well."
Meng Xinzhu walked to the well and carefully checked the surroundings. There was no problem. She took another bucket and smelled it, but there was no problem. Finally, she found the smell in the water tank in the small kitchen. She pointed at the water.
Jar, "Has anyone drank this water today?"
"Go back to your Majesty, I just drank some water." Ru'er pointed to the water glass on the table.
"What?" Meng Xinzhu didn't hesitate. She took Ru'er's hand and walked to the well and fetched new water. "Ru'er, drink some water quickly and let yourself spit it out. Quick!"
Ru'er was completely stunned. She didn't know why Concubine Zhu would do this herself. Meng Xinzhu didn't care anymore. She took a spoonful of water and poured it down for Ru'er, "Ru'er, pick your mouth quickly and drain your belly."
Spit out all the water in it."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Ru'er has done something wrong. You want to punish Ru'er like this."
"Ru'er, you take a snapshot, otherwise I won't be able to save your life."
This was the first time that Eunuch Chen saw his master in such a hurry. He knew that his master must have his own reasons for being like this, so he stepped forward and grabbed Ru'er's shoulders, "Ru'er, please be patient, the queen will not harm us."
After saying that, he reached out to pick Ru'er's mouth.
"Wow!" Ru'er felt sick and spit out all the water she drank. Meng Xinzhu made her drink some more water, then picked her mouth, vomited again, and went back and forth several times.
Xiao Zhao came to Zhuyuan with the emperor's gold medal, but the palace door was open and there was no one inside. He couldn't help frowning and heard someone's voice in the backyard. He looked for the sound and went there, only to see Meng Xinzhu ordering the little palace maid to drink water.
, and asked her to vomit it out. How could it be such a torturous way? He couldn't help but look at Meng Xinzhu, it turned out that this woman was such a snake-hearted person, and the emperor was so concerned about her, she really didn't deserve it!
"I don't know why this palace maid has offended my empress, and why should she be punished like this?"
Meng Xinzhu was paying attention to Ru'er's reaction. At this time, Ru'er had almost vomited out all the yellow bile water. Meng Xinzhu helped her up, "Master Zhao came just in time," she handed the tea to Xiao Zhao, "Please have a taste, Master Zhao.
"
Xiao Zhao took the tea and wondered what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd. He glanced at the teacup and put it to his mouth, but stopped like her. He couldn't help but frown, looked at the teacup, and then at Meng Xinzhu.
"Judging from Mr. Zhao's reaction, my conclusion should be correct."
"Empress!" Xiao Zhao held the tea cup with a puzzled look on his face.
"The emperor brought the tea yesterday. I smelled it and found it was fine. The water in the well was also clean, but when it arrived in the kitchen, it changed its smell. I don't know what this could be. I only know that if I can't spit it out,
He might die."
Ru'er was stunned, then knelt down on her knees and cried, "Empress, thank you for saving my life."
"Ru'er, I should be sorry for you. Eunuch Chen, please take Ru'er to the imperial doctor for another look." Meng Xinzhu turned and left the backyard.
She didn't expect the wind and rain to come so soon. Meng Xinzhu couldn't help but sigh. Growing up, identifying poisons has been her basic course. He also gave her special training in this aspect. Today, it was the faint trace of strangeness in the tea.
The smell caught her attention. Fortunately, it had this smell. She knew that in the world of martial arts novels, there was that kind of colorless and odorless poison. She wondered if such a thing existed in this different time and space. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh.
Chill.
"Empress!"
"Master Zhao came to Zhuyuan, what's the matter?"
"By order of the emperor, I have come to give you a gold medal."
Glancing at the gold medal in his hand, Meng Xinzhu did not take it, "What kind of gold medal is this?"
"Yuekang Mountain Gold Medal." He took out a similar gold medal from his arms. "With this card, you can freely enter and leave Yuekang Mountain."
"Can I not do it?" Meng Xinzhu felt that it was like a time bomb. Hongde Longqiu lit the lamps in the Zhuyuan for several nights, thus attracting today's poisonous tea without her having to kneel down. If the people in the palace knew
She can freely enter and leave Yuekang Mountain, which even the Queen Mother has no right to go up. Who knows what kind of storm it will cause. She has never been afraid of facing the enemy, but she is not the only one here. Chen
The lives of father-in-law, Ru'er, and Lotus were all tied to her. She was really not sure of keeping them safe. It was the first time she felt so helpless.
Xiao Zhao looked at the stunned Concubine Zhu, thinking of the cup of tea just now, and couldn't help but frowning, "Your Majesty, this is the emperor's order. The emperor is currently waiting for your Majesty at Yuekang Mountain."
Meng Xinzhu took a deep breath and took the gold medal from Xiao Zhao's hand. The coldness of the metal stung her skin. She frowned and turned around and walked out of the Bamboo Garden. Xiao Zhao walked out of the Bamboo Garden carrying the cup of tea again, and he blew it gently.
He whistled, and a dark shadow flashed beside him. He whispered a few words, and the shadow disappeared in a whoosh, and he strode towards Yuekang Mountain.
Hongde Longqiu stood in the garden on the top of the mountain, overlooking his palace, and Meng Xinzhu's voice came from behind: "Do you have a problem with me?"
"Hahaha, I originally wanted to give you a chance to scare me, but you were walking too loudly, and I already knew you were coming." Hongde Longqiu turned around, but frowned, "What are you doing?
Now, your face looks so bad?"
