An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Chapter 10: Test poison

Views:

That night, Wei Lian moved into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the past, this was an honor that the queen did not have. The queen lived in Jiaofang Hall, occupying the fifteenth day of the first day of the king's day. On weekdays, when the monarch summoned his concubine and concubine, he usually took a chariot to the concubine's palace. There were those who brought the concubines to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and they all sent them back as soon as the time passed.

Even more favored, can be allowed to stay until dawn, wait for the king to change his clothes, and then have to go home. The Hall of Mental Cultivation is the place of the Son of Heaven and the place of Wolong. There is always only one true master.

But looking at Wei Lian's posture, he actually meant to stay here for a long time. This is obviously His Majesty's order.

There were no queens or concubines in the harem of this dynasty, not even anyone who competed with Wei Lian.

In the eyes of others, Wei Lian was lucky. With His Majesty's favor, isn't it all at your fingertips

In the Qin Palace, the original essence is a humble master who can be stepped on by a clay figurine, and once flew up the branches, some people are envious, some people are jealous. Many palace servants thought sourly that accompanying the monarch is like accompanying a tiger. The one who lives in the beautiful scenery today will probably roll out with his head on the ground tomorrow.

Wei Lian didn't know how outsiders thought, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation was very warm, the meals were plentiful, and the bedding was thick. Wei Lian was very satisfied.

As for the King of Qin? What is that. A tool man who let him live a good life by means of the skyrocketing ladder.

The love of a king, whoever is stupid asks for it, Wei Lian doesn't want it. He is a very pragmatic person. From the beginning to the end, what he seeks is glory and wealth, and he has no interest in love.

This is also true of King Qin, so the two sides hit it off and each took what they needed and became a good partner.

At this moment, Wei Lian is serving this partner for dinner.

In the evening, the Hall of Mental Cultivation passed the meal, and soon there were palace maids who filed in with delicious dishes and placed them on the wooden table.

Auspicious Ruyi Cake, Agate Sweet and Sour Fish, Eight Treasures Delicate Swallow's Wings, Jade Mung Bean Rolls... No matter how ordinary the dishes are, if they enter the palace, they can also be named after gold and jade, which makes them look royal and extravagant.

It was nothing in Ji Yue's eyes, but for Wei Lian, who had been eating steamed buns and pickles for half a month, and was still hungry last night - he wanted to overturn King Qin himself and sit on the dining table immediately. .

But not.

According to the rules, not only could Wei Lian not be able to eat, but he had to stand beside the King of Qin and prepare vegetables for him.

Dog, Emperor, Emperor.

Wei Lian lowered his eyebrows meekly, stood beside King Qin, trying not to let his eyes fall on those sumptuous meals.

The soup was delicious and steaming hot. The dishes on a table are dazzling, and the rice is fragrant.

The waiter used silver needles to test the poison one after another, and there were eunuchs waiting for orders. Wei Lian lifted his eyelids, thinking that there are many poisons in this world that cannot be tested by silver needles, and many medicines that can kill you if they don't attack immediately.

Any king cherishes his life, and the means of taking people's lives are hard to guard against. As long as Wei Lian is willing, he can even poison them right under their noses.

Wei Lian once got a chance to teach a master to teach him, he knows medicine, poison, martial arts, he can talk about tactics, he can talk about poetry and poetry, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he even knows a little about Qimen Dunjia. , The technique of five elements and gossip.

Even the master was amazed that he was extremely talented and amazing.

Wei Lian also knows how to gather people's hearts and cultivate wings. At the beginning, the King of Chu was afraid of Gong Gao Zhen's master and destroyed the generals of protecting the country. It was Wei Lian who crossed the sea and replaced them with a nest of death row prisoners, saving the generals.

The tiger talisman that the King of Chu took back was fake. The real piece is still in the hands of General Protector, who is under the command of Wei Lian.

The master is a master who can see the secrets of the sky. He once calculated a hexagram for him, and asserted that his fate is extremely precious, but he needs to keep a low profile in front of the crown, otherwise he will have the appearance of desperation.

Now he is nineteen, and he is still one year away from the weak crown.

Endure another year. Either he deceived the antidote to get rid of the constraints of the King of Qin, and left Qin State with a fake death, leaving the world to let him be free. Or simply slaughter this dog emperor with one knife and become the master of the world.

What is distressing at the moment is still the poison on the body.

Being pinned down doesn't taste good. When Wei Lian took the pill, he was careful, digging out a little powder and hiding it between his fingers, trying to develop an antidote himself. However, it is not so easy to understand what the royal family uses to control the dark guards. Wei Lian has no eyebrows.

He had to hold his breath for now.

This look of desperation, can't it be folded on this poison

After the silver needle was tried, there was no abnormality. Wei Lian glanced at it and knew that there was no problem with the food at this table.

When the eunuch was trying to eat chopsticks, Wei Lian suddenly said, "Your Majesty, let me try it."

His tone was gentle, but he shocked the people in the hall.

... there are still people who are rushing to die

Who doesn't know that the King of Qin is hated, their Majesty is at the top of the assassination list of the Seven Kingdoms, and is very popular with assassins.

Trying to eat eunuchs is a high-risk occupation, and it is necessary to change people every three or five times, because the previous one is dead.

The palace people looked at Wei Lian as if they were looking at a fool. They were still thinking about such a good-looking son, how can he not be so smart at such a young age.

Only the eunuch tried to see him like a savior.

…or like a scapegoat.

Ji Yue said "oh": "Do you know that this trial is really a test of poison?"

Wei Lian said: "I know."

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"It is the honor of the minister to die for His Majesty." Whether King Qin believed it or not, Wei Lian himself did not believe it anyway.

Ji Yue smiled, believing you a ghost in her heart.

You just want to eat.

When Gu can't see that you have been staring at that agate sweet and sour fish for a long time

"Why is Gu so willing to let Wei Lang take risks." Ji Yue said, "Wei Lang sit down together and have dinner with Gu."

Wei Lian said, "I don't dare", but the speed of sitting down was very fast.

Not to mention drug testing. His purpose was to eat.

Otherwise, after serving King Qin's meal, he will use the scraps to cook himself, what is the significance of him putting himself in the Hall of Mental Cultivation

Ji Yue saw that he was sitting neatly, a trace of interest flashed in his eyes, and soon there was no trace.

He just licked his lips without a trace.

The process of testing the poison is still not saved. The little eunuch timidly finished trying it, and when he looked back, he found that his life was still alive, and he was relieved.

Who would risk their lives? Up to the king, down to the slaves, all want to live well.

Wei Lian is the same.

The royal family of Chu had a rule of "no more than three chopsticks" for meals. No matter what dish, they were not allowed to use more than three chopsticks.

But the Qin state has no such rules.

They did not forget the need for acting, and it was passed to the ministers through the mouths of these palace servants.

They sat at the same table, and the King of Qin spoiled him with his words, and from time to time gave him a piece of agate sweet and sour fish: "Wei Lang is too thin, eat more fish to nourish his body."

Wei Lian also put a crystal shrimp dumpling into King Qin's bowl and said softly, "Your Majesty should use more."

All this was seen by the palace servants who served in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and it was passed on to the outside world, that is, how the son Lian received the holy favor.

He was only one distance away from the demon concubine, sitting directly on King Qin's lap and feeding mouth to mouth.

But Wei Lian asked himself that he couldn't do that. He and King Qin were all superficial. They seemed to feed each other with love and affection, but in fact they used public chopsticks.

They both despised each other's saliva.

Wei Lian also didn't dare to arbitrarily put vegetables into the Qin Wang's bowl, so as not to touch the mold.

Zhu Cuicheng did not deceive him, and the King of Qin was extremely picky about his taste. More than not eating onions, ginger and garlic, sour, salty, bitter and spicy, meaty and greasy, and clear soup with little water, he couldn't touch it. As long as the taste is strong or light, it is impossible to swallow it to death.

Fortunately, he is the King of Qin. If it is an ordinary person, sooner or later, he will starve to death.

The King of Qin had a strange taste. In addition to crystal shrimp dumplings, I also like to eat sweet cakes. Especially the soft, sweet and greasy pastries that look like little white rabbits.

Who would have thought that the famous tyrant who is uncertain, is a young man who can be happy by eating sweet cakes.

Ji Yue was satisfied with the book he ate, and Wei Lian looked blankly at it.

Throughout the ages, whoever has been named a tyrant has not been arrogant and lascivious, and there are even absurd rumors of devouring human flesh

This one is even more ridiculous.

Not only do I like to eat sweet cakes, but I also have to eat cute ones.

Really lose the face of the tyrant world.
