An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Chapter 56: Chi Yan

Views:

Ji Yue's first reaction was cold-blooded and confused.

What's the big deal

He has been on the battlefield, killed countless people, and only protects his own people. An exotic princess, and a woman who framed Wei Lian, Ji Yue really doesn't care about her life or death.

But daring to make trouble in the Qin Palace, it is really tired of living.

Compared with Ji Yue's calmness, the envoys of various countries have different expressions.

Myerna was surprised: "Why did he die? This is the Qin Palace..."

Aslan whispered: "Don't worry about this."

Qiao Hongfei frowned and looked at Wei Lian with a little worry, feeling that something was not right.

Wei Yan was stunned, unable to believe that they were still attending the banquet a few days ago, so the beautiful woman died like this. He put down the glass absentmindedly, his hands shaking a little.

Yeludan showed some shock and a hint of regret.

Prince Xia raised his eyes in shock, and then looked back gently, looking lost.

I always feel... the mountains and rains are about to come.

After this incident, no one paid attention to Wei Lian's surrender to the red-maned horse.

A princess of a country died in the Qin Palace, or was poisoned, and all of them were suspicious and had solemn expressions on their faces.

Originally, after the state banquet was over, they could stay in Yongping for a few more days, and then they could set off to return to China one after another. Now that this kind of thing happened, I'm afraid I can't go away for a while.

Wei Lian calmly swept everyone's expressions one by one, and everyone showed normal reactions, and no suspicious people could be found for the time being.

Huyan Kemu was the most reactive: "What did you say? Is the princess dead?"

"How can the princess die! It's nonsense!" Huyan Kemu couldn't accept the news of the goddess's death. It all happened too fast, too fast to be real.

The palace maid of the State of Yan cried and said, "It's true... The princess has been infected with the cold and has been drinking medicine... But as soon as the medicine was finished today, the princess vomited blood and fell on the table without moving. The maid went to take a breath, the princess was already ... I'm dying!"

Then she screamed and ran out quickly. He wanted to find the envoys of the state of Yan, but the envoys of the state of Yan were still here watching Wei Lianyu's horse, so they hurriedly ran over and told the King of Qin directly.

Wei Lian said that Princess Chonghua had contracted the cold and was recuperating behind closed doors, but it was not a lie. The lake water at this time was already freezing to the bone. Li Chonghua soaked in the water for so long and was greatly frightened. It was impossible not to get sick.

After she returned, she became seriously ill and began to drink medicine.

It's just that yesterday's medicine was fine, but today there is a problem when I drink it.

Huyan Kemu stepped back abruptly, turned his head and aimed at Wei Lian: "Didn't you say that you are a noble monarch, and you are in charge of all matters related to the Queen Qin's harem? Princess Chonghua has an accident right under your nose, you have to give it to you. An explanation!"

He didn't completely fight for Princess Chonghua. After all, Wei Lian successfully tamed the red-maned horse and slapped Chen Guo in the face, Huyan Kemu's disgust for Wei Lian was mixed with some personal resentment, always thinking of pulling people into the water.

Wei Lian's expression didn't change: "I don't stare at her like Prince Huyan, how can I count it under my nose?"

He didn't know anything about it. The Qin Palace is so big, and he has not opened his eyes, so how can he know what happened.

Huyan Kemu did not let him go: "Then you are to blame! If something happened to someone in the harem, since you are in charge of the harem, you should be held accountable for this!"

Wei Lian sighed inwardly.

Just know that this Luan Yin is a hot potato, and at the critical moment, he is a scapegoat.

He shouldn't have taken it.

Seeing someone targeting Wei Lian, the palace maid of the Yan Kingdom suddenly remembered something, and immediately stood up and said, "It's you! It must be you! Our princess offended you a few days ago. It wasn't enough for you to drown her in water, and you wanted to poison her to death. Is she!"

She showed resentment: "Why are you so vicious!"

She and Princess Chonghua grew up together, and they were at least loyal even if they were not sympathetic sisters. That day, the princess was soaked wet and returned to the Ningyue Building. When she came back, she burst into tears and cursed endlessly. She knew what Princess Chonghua framed Wei Lian, and she knew what Wei Lian did to Princess Chonghua.

People are always short-handed and selfish, and at the same time bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. She didn't dare to hate the high-ranking King Qin, so she could only hate Wei Lian. For the past two days, the princess was lingering on the sick bed, and she also helped Princess Zhonghua to curse Wei Lian to die early so that he could not survive.

Unexpectedly, Wei Lian didn't die, and the princess passed away first.

It was a bolt from the blue.

When the princess died, those who waited around them would inevitably die. Since it was a death anyway, the princess had to get justice!

Huyan Kemu's eyes widened: "What did you say? What is submerged in the water? How dare he treat the princess like this?"

"Why does he dare not? He has His Majesty the King of Qin guarding him!" The palace maid of the Yan Kingdom became more and more indifferent, "He is afraid that our princess will win the favor, and he has the intention to kill, such a vicious person, you will be punished! I curse you for not being well- uh!"

Before the word "death" was uttered, the palace maid's eyes widened in disbelief.

An arrow pierced through her heart and emerged from her back, showing the ruthlessness of the force.

The dark red blood stained from her chest gradually.

The palace maid covered the arrow with trembling fingers, breathed hard, fell to the ground suddenly, and swallowed her breath.

Everyone was stunned by this change.

Wei Lian's eyes moved slightly.

Ji Yue withdrew his bow expressionlessly, as if he was not the one who killed a person with one arrow just now.

He could not tolerate others slandering Wei Lian.

He couldn't even listen to others curse the guards to kill him.

Ji Yue walked up to Wei Lian and asked him softly, "Aren't you scared?"

Wei Lian lowered his head and patted his chest: "I scared the minister to death."

Ji Yue comforted: "It's alright, the solitary will kill the person."

Everyone: "… "

Good hardcore comfort.

Huyan Kemu clenched his fists: "Is His Majesty the King of Qin killing people in public and covering up sinners?"

"Hasn't the sinner been killed alone?" Ji Yue didn't even look at the corpse, his eyes were filled with disgust.

"She clearly knows the inside story!" Huyan Kemu was aggressive, "What happened to the princess she said was flooded?"

"How can a palace maid's word of mouth be slanderous, how can she win the trust of others? Those who have ulterior motives and frame up your noble lord will be killed by a thousand cuts. An arrow pierced through the heart will make her alone." Ji Yue said coldly, "Prince Huyan doesn't believe it. Gu, on the contrary, I believe in the side words of a palace maid, is this Chen Guo’s loyalty to Qin country?”

Someone in the envoys of the Chen State quickly suppressed Huyan Kemu and reminded him not to offend the King of Qin.

They are not here to be guests.

They are here to pay tribute.

To put it uglier, it is just a dependent country, and it is not qualified to challenge the King of Qin. They, Chen State, all have grievances against Qin State, and they only provoked one or two at first, but if King Qin made a real move, they would not be able to eat and walk around.

People are still in other people's territory, so there is no room for them to run wild.

Huyan Kemu still hasn't fainted, even if there is a huge resentment, he can only endure it indignantly.

The most responsible person for this matter should be the envoy of Yan State.

But how dare the envoys of the State of Yan dare to ask. He is now so frightened that he has lost his ability to think.

Originally, the princess was the biggest bargaining chip in the country of Yan. As a result, King Qin was not interested at all, and the princess was gone. When he went back, let alone the black shawl, the head of Xiang Shang still didn't know whether he could keep it.

The eyes of the envoy of the Yan Kingdom were darkened, and he almost fainted on the spot.

"It's useless to talk too much, it's important to find out the murderer now." Wei Lian said.

Huyan Kemu wanted to say, "Isn't the murderer you? What did the thief call to catch the thief?", but he was restrained by the fellow envoy shaking his hand.

"Since Princess Chonghua is poisoned, let's check the bowl of medicine." Wei Lian calmed down from the beginning to the end, and deliberately glanced at Huyan Kemu, "Go to the scene first. If you are worried, just come with me. ."

Huyan Kemu originally suspected that the murderer was Wei Lian, for fear of being covered up by the Qin State, so of course he followed to find out. Myerna didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun, and took Aslan along.

Qiao Hongfei was worried about Wei Lian, so naturally he would not stay out of it, but Wei Yan was afraid of seeing the body, so he decided to hide in the house by himself. Yeludan saw that most of the people were going, so he followed.

Only Prince Xia didn't seem to want to swim in this muddy water, so he returned to Shenshui Dock on his own accord.

Congealing Moon Building.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Wei Lian saw Li Chonghua lying on the table, eyes closed, a blood stain running from the corner of his mouth.

There was a medicine bowl that had been drunk on the table, and there was still some residue left in the bowl.

Imperial Physician Wang and Imperial Physician Xu have already been sent to wait for orders. Imperial Physician Wang picked up the medicine bowl and sniffed the remaining medicine residue in the bowl. Imperial Physician Xu stepped forward, first took the pulse for Princess Chonghua, then turned her eyelids to test her breath, and her expression gradually became solemn: "Princess Chonghua indeed died of poisoning."

Huyan Kemu almost wanted to roll his eyes.

Is not this nonsensical? It is obvious that the accident happened after drinking this bowl of medicine...

At this time, Imperial Physician Wang put down the bowl again, and said to Ji Yue, "Report to Your Majesty, this bowl of medicine is non-toxic."

Huyan Kemu immediately shouted: "What kind of quack doctor are you? The palace maid said that as soon as Princess Chonghua finished drinking this bowl of medicine, she became poisoned. You are still farting here!"

Yeludan didn't say a word, but his eyes also showed the meaning of "King Qin protects too much".

Imperial Physician Wang was displeased. He has served in the Taiyuan Hospital for decades, and is also a highly respected senior. He was suddenly scolded as a quack doctor by a vulgar and savage foreign descendant, and no one could swallow it.

"This old man has practiced medicine for thirty years, and he has never made a mistake, let alone cheating." Wang Taiyi said in a bad tone, "Prince Huyan speaks carefully."

"Then tell me, what kind of poison is in her?" Huyan Kemu asked.

After examining for a long time, Imperial Physician Xu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this minister can only confirm that Princess Chonghua died of poisoning, and it did not take more than half an hour, but... it is impossible to determine what poison Princess Chonghua was poisoned by."

Huyan Kemu was about to scold a quack doctor again, Myerna frowned and said, "Stop arguing."

Aslan was startled and was about to stop him when Myerna stepped forward.

She picked up the medicine bowl, checked it, and quickly put it down: "It's really non-toxic."

Medicine and poison are not separated. Her poison skills are superb, and her medical skills are not bad.

Myerna stepped forward, grabbed Li Chonghua's wrist, checked the pulse, and her expression suddenly became puzzled.

"Strange..." she murmured, "how could it be..."

She suddenly stopped talking.

The envoy of the State of Yan asked, "How could it be?"

Myerna: "..."

The envoy of the State of Yan said anxiously, "Speak!"

Myerna hesitated: "...It's Chi Yan."

She never thought that this matter would be related to Liang Guo, and she was extremely confident in poisoning. Seeing the poison that the imperial physician of the Qin country could not detect, she wanted to give it a try to let people know how powerful she was.

But how could it be Liang Guo's unique poison...

It's over, it's time to pull Liang Guo into the water.

Imperial Physician Wang had never heard of the poison "Chi Yan", so he couldn't help but ask, "What is Chi Yan?"

Before Myerna could answer, Wei Lian already had the answer in his heart.

One of the hundred poisons in southern Xinjiang, Chi Yan, is as poisonous as its name suggests.

See you sooner or later the King of Hell.
