Mrs. Liu sat next to Ban Hua, she whispered in Ban Hua's ear: "The tea here is not very good, because Taizu once said that as a descendant of a dragon and a phoenix, you should not indulge in enjoyment, so Yutian The tea is bitter and astringent, and at best it is used to quench thirst.”
Seeing that the other women were embarrassed, Ban Hua took two sips from the cup to show their determination to share weal and woe with the people.
"This tea..." Ban Hua picked up the teacup, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed gently, "Is it still wet?"
"Damp?" Mrs. Liu laughed, "Although the tea is not good, how dare the people below take out the damp tea."
Ban Hua looked at the khaki-colored tea in his hand, forced a sip into his mouth, and put down the teacup. It's just that the smell is really disgusting. Ban Hua took the handkerchief handed by Ruyi and spit the tea on the handkerchief.
Just at this time, the princess came in, and the female relatives stood up to greet them. The princess was sweaty and said to everyone: "Everyone, please sit down, don't be too polite." She drank a few sips of tea, and there was no reluctance on her face. I don't know if I'm really thirsty, or if I'm good at acting.
But judging from her words and deeds, she is a qualified princess.
The female relatives sat down again, and the Crown Princess smiled and looked at Ban Hua: "This is the first time for the Princess Fule, but are you still used to it?"
"Thank you for your concern, Crown Princess," Ban Hua felt a little hot in her throat, she shook her head and said, "Everything is fine."
Seeing that the tea in the cup in front of her had barely moved, the crown princess knew that the princess who had been spoiled and grew up could not endure any hardships. But now that the prince has the intention to win over Cheng Anhou, she has to cover up for her, "I see that you just sowed a row of seeds by yourself, so be careful not to get tired."
Don't drink tea if you don't drink it. Anyway, there is no recorder in the female family, so drinking a few sips of water won't be a problem.
"It's almost noon," the princess wiped her face with a handkerchief. Her cheeks were a little red from her work. "Get ready to eat."
They had already tasted the thick tea, and naturally they would not prepare too much lunch, half a bowl of thick japonica rice, and a few boiled wild vegetables that were not at all meaty. With a picky mouth, she ate a bitter and fishy wild vegetable with chopsticks, and she became more and more worried about her life in a few years.
The life of ordinary people is not easy, these things are so unpalatable, and they may not be full. Thinking that Jiang Luo had also sent troops to suppress the victims, and there were countless casualties, Ban Hua felt so disgusted that she almost vomited.
"Fu Le County Master, this meal is really not very delicious, but the people in the world can eat it, the crown princess can eat it, you should eat some," a female relative sitting opposite Ban Hua seemed to comfort, but she was actually deliberately trying Find fault, "You only have one meal, but some people have to eat for a lifetime."
Ban Hua glanced at the man, it seemed that she was her mother's half-sister, married to a fourth-grade unhappy county uncle, and was barely able to join in this kind of activity, but because of her low status, there was really no place here. The way she speaks.
Ban Hua was the first-rank county master appointed by the sage, and her rank was the same as her father Ban Huai. She didn't even notice the careful thinking of this little Yin clan.
She sneered and resorted to countless means to kill her enemies, ignoring Dafa.
The embarrassment of a fourth-grade lady who was ignorant of the words and deeds of the first-grade princess who was ignorant was beyond words.
Mrs. Liu spoke up: "This lady is sitting at the bottom. She actually knows how much Fule County Master has eaten. It seems that you haven't learned enough manners."
It is the most basic rule to keep your mouth shut, to keep an eye on the Venerable for no reason. Mrs. Liu's words only meant that the Xiaoyin clan had no tutoring.
Several ladies laughed out loud. They are all honorable ladies. These meals are really hard for them to swallow. Now a person who doesn't know which card face dares to point fingers at the county master. Treat yourself as a character.
When Xiaoyin was teased like this, she was immediately embarrassed and annoyed, and said in a hurry: "Mrs. Liu, although I have a low status, I am also the elder of the Fule County Master. It is not an exaggeration to say a few words."
When Ban Hua heard that Xiaoyin dared to climb relatives with their family, he suddenly lowered his face and said, "What kind of thing are you, you are too embarrassed to climb relatives with our family. If you are shameless, get out of here quickly."
Many people know about the grievances between Mrs. Jingting and her parents' family. Mrs. Jingting has never returned to her parents' home over the years. People dare to say that she is not filial, at most, they will laugh at the Yin family for not treating the eldest daughter well, so much that she can't hold her thighs now.
Ban Hua embarrassed Xiaoyin for being so big, and she wanted to say something else, but the princess sitting on the top said, "This lady is unwell, and immediately arrange for someone to send her out."
"Prince Concubine..." Xiaoyin looked at the princess in surprise.
The princess slowly wiped her mouth: "No need to say more, just step back."
Xiaoyin's body was shaky, and she turned around and was "invited" out by the two female officials.
The Yin family has not been doing very well these years, because Duke Jingting and the nobles he befriended deliberately made things difficult. It is not as good as the children of concubines.
She was unwilling and cursed, but the Ban family was deeply favored by the royal family, so what about their Yin family? Their family also tried to reconcile with the Ban family, but her eldest sister refused to give any face, and even refused to let the Yin family in.
"Fu Le County Master's face is not very good, is it not feeling well?" After the Crown Princess drove Xiaoyin away, she turned to see Ban Hua's pale face and black lips, and hurriedly said, "I will let the imperial doctor come in and show you. Look."
"No need," Ban Hua shook his head, "I'm just..."
She paused, spitting out a mouthful of red blood.
"The princess," Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back the smile on her face any longer, and panicked to support Ban Hua, "what's the matter with you?"
Ban Hua wiped the corner of her lips with the back of her hand. The back of her hand was covered in blood. She covered her burning chest, feeling very unwilling in a daze.
She didn't use any makeup and hairpins today, she couldn't die so plainly. If she died, she should be dressed in Hua Qun, wear the most beautiful makeup, and wear jewelry that women all over the world envied, so that she would not come to this world in vain.
Not reconciled!
She doesn't want to die!
"Hurry up! Hurry up and pass on the imperial physicians, and pass all the imperial physicians here." The princess even trembled in her voice. She was in charge of the refreshments for the female family. Can't tell.
"Immediately arrange for the Imperial Guards to guard this place, everyone can't leave, and all the maids and eunuchs are strictly investigated," the princess gritted her teeth with hatred. With so many female relatives here, it would be better for anyone to have an accident than to have an accident with Ban Hua. Any suspicious person."
The other female relatives were also so frightened that their faces turned pale. They usually bicker at most, and smother a few words with yin and yang, but most of them are not so cruel to the point of poisoning and killing. Now seeing the sallow complexion of Fule County Master and the appearance of vomiting blood, the cowardly person couldn't help screaming.
The prince was having dinner with the courtiers, and when he heard screams from the female family members, and even the movement of the Guards, he hurriedly called the eunuch who needed to use him: "Go and see what happened over there with the crown prince. "
The Crown Princess has a stable personality, and would never have easily mobilized the Imperial Guard if something major hadn't happened.
"Report!" A eunuch next to the Crown Princess ran in in panic, and before he could see the people in the room, he knelt down heavily: "His Royal Highness, the master of Fule County is poisoned."
"What did you say?" Rong Xia stood up abruptly, the small table in front of him was overturned, and the food splashed on the floor.
"The master of Fule County has been poisoned, and the imperial physicians have all been transferred to..."
Rong Xia only felt a buzzing sound in his head, he pushed aside the officials who wanted to come up to comfort him, and strode out.
The rest of the officials looked at each other in dismay. After being surprised, they felt scared again. Poison was mixed in the tea and tea. If this person wanted their lives, how could they be dead now
"Prince..." The prince's official saw that the prince also followed and went out, and wanted to stop the prince, but unfortunately the prince didn't pay attention to him at all.
"Deputy Commander Shi, something has happened," Commander Yang walked in front of Shi Jin. "There has been an accident in Fule County, and the crown prince and the crown princess have their lives. Let us immediately guard Yutian and not let anyone leave."
"Who did you say happened?" Shi Jin tightened his hand on the saber, biting his cheek tightly, "Who?"
Commander Yang was a little flustered by his strange reaction: "It's Mrs. Chenganhou, the master of Fule County."
Shi Jin silently bowed to Commander Yang, turned around and walked in the direction of the female family members. When Commander Yang saw this, he hurriedly stopped him, "Shi Jin, where are you going?"
Shi Jin ignored him and continued to walk forward without looking back.
"Hey..." Commander Yang noticed that something was wrong with Shi Jin, and the Fule County Master was poisoned. What was Shi Jin doing so excited
Shi Jin didn't go far before he saw Rong Xia with a frantic look in the distance. This handsome man ran without image, like... a homeless dog.
He stopped, watching Rong Xia fall on the ground, then patted it from the ground and continued to run forward, not afraid of the dust on his body, even ignoring the loose bun, just running in a hurry, Not even the slightest hesitation.
"Deputy Commander Shi?" Commander Yang chased after him, "What happened to you?"
"It's alright," Shi Jin retracted his gaze and turned to look at Commander Yang, "I'm going to arrange for the Imperial Guard to surround this place."
Commander Yang looked at Shi Jin's stiff back, looked at the direction of the female family members, and frowned thoughtfully.
Rong Xiashi rushed into the house where the female relatives were, and saw that Ban Hua was lying on a makeshift couch, and the imperial doctor was feeding a bowl of dark medicine into her mouth.
A few mouthfuls of the medicine had just been fed in, when Ban Hua vomited, not only spitting out the medicine she finally fed in, but also spitting out a large cloud of blood.
"Marquis of Cheng'an..." The Crown Princess saw Rong Xia coming in and wanted to say a few words of comfort to Rong Xia, but who knew that Rong Xia looked up at her, and the Crown Princess felt as if an endless chill was creeping into the soles of her feet, until it was cold to her. 's chest. She couldn't help shivering, but she didn't dare to speak again.
"Bao Hua." Rong Xia walked to Ban Hua's side and reached out to hold her hand, but her fingers were cold, Rong Xia couldn't help but reached out and probed the tip of Ban Hua's nose. After confirming that he was breathing, he shook the handle Ban Hua put her hands on her chest and looked at the imperial doctor with red eyes, "How is the county master?"
"Master Hou, the lower official is inducing vomiting for the county master. When the toxin is spit out, maybe..." The imperial doctor wanted to say that there might be help, but looking at the red eyes of Hou Chengan, he swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"continue."
"what?"
"I said to continue to induce vomiting." Rong Xia's eyes flashed with water mist, but the imperial doctor did not dare to look closely, and just took the medicine bowl and fed it to the mouth of the Fule County Lord, but how can a comatose person have the ability to swallow, if the identity is ordinary , He can also feed it with a funnel, but this is the county master that His Majesty values. If he really dares to do this, he will be expelled from the hospital tomorrow.
"I'm coming." Rong Xia snatched the bowl from the imperial doctor's hand, put Ban Hua in his arms, raised his head and drank a big mouthful of the strange-smelling medicine, lowered his head and fed it into Ban Hua's mouth.
The female relatives around looked away embarrassedly, but couldn't help but secretly glance at them.
One, two, three.
The unconscious Ban Hua frowned, and after spitting out a few mouthfuls of dark brown concoction, what he vomited was a big mouthful of blood. The blood was dark red at first, but gradually became normal.
Rong Xia took a fancy to the blood in the basin, and her hands trembled more and more, almost unable to hold the medicine bowl.
"Master Hou, all right," the imperial doctor observed the color of the blood, "the poison in the stomach of the county master has almost been removed. From the point of view of the following officials, although the poison is very strong, the amount in the county master should be very small. So there is a chance to be rescued.”
The prince turned to look at the other imperial doctors: "What kind of poison is in the county master, have you found it?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, the lower official found a small amount of Artemisia annua in the teacup used by the Fule County Master."
"A sprig of Artemisia on the Snow?" The prince seemed pretty when he heard the name, "What kind of medicine is this?"
"It also has a common name of Aconitum, which is originally a medicine for the treatment of bruises, but if it is taken orally, it is highly poisonous. The amount taken by County Master Fule is small, so it should not be dangerous." What the imperial physician did not understand the most was that , It is too difficult for people to understand the person who poisoned him. Since he wanted to kill people, why did he only put this little poison
Although Aconitum is poisonous, if the dosage is small and vomiting is induced in time, it will not be life-threatening.
"I remember," Madam Liu said suddenly, "just now when a palace maid was serving tea to the princess, she accidentally spilled some tea, and the princess also gave a handkerchief to the palace maid. The palace maid poured the tea, Continued tea for the county master…”
That is to say, at the beginning, the cup of tea was highly poisonous, but the little palace maid poured the original tea and poured new tea, so the poison was much reduced.
If you want to kill someone, the poison must have been tempered, and you only need to take a sip to kill. Even if the county owner is picky, he will take a polite sip, and this sip alone is enough to kill her. The only accident was that the little palace maid gave the county master a refill.
Is this a coincidence, or did the palace maid regret it at the juncture, so she saved the life of Fule County Master
"Bring that palace maid in." The prince glanced at Rong Xia, who was holding Ban Hua. If he didn't explain this to the Ban family and Rong Xia, he would be embarrassed to see them in the future.
As early as when Ban Hua had an accident, the Crown Princess ordered these palace maids and eunuchs to be strictly guarded, even if they wanted to commit suicide, there was no chance. Now that the prince wanted to meet someone, the palace maid was quickly brought up.
"What's your name?" The prince saw that the palace maid was still young and childish, "Why do you want to poison Princess Fule?"
"Slave... The slave's name is Xiaoyu," the little palace maid kowtowed to Ban Ma, who was lying on the hard couch. "The slave knows that it is a capital crime, and the slave is willing to be punished."
"Who is the one who instructed you?" the Crown Princess asked, "How much hatred does a maid of yours have with the county master, and you want to put her to death?"
The little palace maid shook her head: "The princess is a good person."
The Crown Princess sneered: "Since you said she was a good person, why did you poison her?"
The little palace maid still just shook her head: "I'm sorry for Fule County Master, I hope to repay her kindness in the next life." After she finished speaking, she stood up and rushed towards a guard who drew a sword. Du Jiu quickly stopped her.
"Do you think you can just die?" The Crown Princess looked at the little palace maid with cold eyes, "Your family, your elders and fellow villagers may all be implicated by this incident. If this palace were you, it would reveal the mastermind behind the scenes. So, at least it won't hurt the poor innocent people."
The palace maid's shoulders trembled slightly, and she carefully glanced at the prince and prince concubine: "This servant has nothing to say."
"In that case, drag it out..."
"His Royal Highness," Rong Xia said suddenly, his eyes were red, as if he had cried, but also seemed to be calm after being angry, "let Wei Chen say a few words to her."
"The Marquis of Cheng'an, please." The prince didn't dare to look at Rong Xia, he always felt that he was sorry for Rong Xia and the girl, so he was very guilty.
"I know that someone important to you is threatened, so I don't dare to say who's behind the scenes," Rong Xia looked at the shivering maid on the ground with no warmth in her eyes, "but I suspect you're not just targeting Fu Le in this matter. Princess, you want to murder the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Since you dare to do such a thing to punish the Nine Clan, you must have the courage to bear the consequences."
"Marquis!" the little palace maid said hurriedly, "I did this alone, and it has nothing to do with others. I beg Marquis for mercy."
Rong Xia sneered: "If I give you grace, who can suffer today for Hua Hua?"
The palace maid kowtowed heavily and said, "This slave and maid is willing to pay for her life."
"I don't care about your life." Rong Xia turned to look at Ban Hua on the couch, her face was pale and lifeless, her rosy lips became pale, his heart was burning with anger, but his mind was calm Gotta surprise him.
He only hated that he didn't do well enough, that he didn't protect her, and she suffered so much that she almost lost her life.
The Crown Princess saw the infinite killing intent in Rong Xia's eyes. It was clear that this matter had nothing to do with her, but she was just indescribably afraid.
"Prince..." The concubine turned to look at the prince, wanting the prince to say something to break the current deadlock, but the prince just shook his head lightly, intending to hand over the initiative to Rong Xia. He turned his head and glanced at the other female relatives and told them all to retreat.
"I don't have any relatives by my side," Rong Xia held Ban Hua's hand and said calmly, "Bao Hua is the only one who is by my side, if you hurt her, don't tell me to ask for mercy. Either way, it has nothing to do with me.”
"I just want the lives of your nine clans."
"Du Jiu," Rong Xia called for the guards, "I will immediately go and find out who is close to this palace maid, and what relatives there are at home. Anyone who is suspicious will be arrested. This official suspects that she is colluding with the chaotic party. Conspiracy against the royal family."
"Yes."
"Master Hou is gracious, Master Hou is gracious." The little palace maid kowtowed to Rong Xia.
Bang bang bang.
One after another, blood soon oozes from her forehead. The prince looked a little unbearable and turned his head to say something, but seeing Rong Xia's eyes looking at Ban Hua, he didn't say anything after all.
He had never seen Rong Xia look at anyone with this kind of eyes, and he even thought that Rong Xia would be crazy if she went like this today.
"Stop knocking, don't disturb Baa's rest," Rong Xia carefully wiped the blood from Ban Xue's lips with a handkerchief, "If you want to knock yourself out here, go outside. It doesn't matter if you are dead or alive. , you will not be alone below, this official will send your relatives and friends to accompany you."
Cheng An Hou crazy
The Crown Princess looked at Rong Xia in disbelief, is this what a gentleman can say
Ban Hua is really so important. It's important that he abandons the principle of being a righteous person. He doesn't want his reputation, his demeanor, and even his last face. How can he use this kind of trick to a little palace maid
The Crown Princess did not doubt the words of Marquis Cheng An. For some unknown reason, she just felt that if the palace maid did not tell the truth, Marquis Cheng An would really implicate her relatives and friends.
Beauty Tears, Hero Tombs, and Marquis of Cheng An is a man after all, and even men cannot escape the temptation of beauty. He was so fascinated by Ban Hua that he even threw away his ego.
This is also what the Crown Princess didn't like about Ban Hua at first. She doesn't hate women who are more beautiful than herself. There are so many beauties in the whole capital. If she has the heart to be jealous, can she be jealous? But Ban Hua is different. Her beauty is too charming and too coquettish. Even if such a woman is not a witch, she will be a restless woman.
She doesn't like restless women very much, including Princess Anle, the prince's biological sister, and she doesn't like it very much in her heart.
In her opinion, Ban Hua and Princess Anle are the same, they are heartless and restless. The Marquis of Cheng'an has a deep-rooted love for Ban Hua, just like the sun comes out on a rainy day, which is surprising and incomprehensible. There are many good women in the world, and there are also many beautiful and talented women. What is the devil behind the Marquis of Cheng An that he is fascinated by such a woman
"Marquis of Cheng'an," the Crown Princess couldn't help but said, "What's the use of persecuting her like this, why don't you send someone down to investigate slowly and see who she has contacts with, and it will always come to light."
"I can't wait," Rong Xia looked at the Crown Princess coldly, "Hua is my wife, the Crown Princess doesn't understand Wei Chen's feelings for her, Wei Chen has no complaints, I just hope that the Crown Princess will not stop Wei Chen decision."
The princess's face was not very good-looking: "Marquis of Cheng An, what do you mean by that?"
What are your thoughts
Love in the world is nothing but profit, is Rongxia's words mocking her bad relationship with the prince, or what does it mean
Rong Xia ignored the Crown Princess, he wrapped Ban Hua in a thin quilt, hugged her by the waist, turned around and walked out.
"Marquis of Chengan..."
The prince got up and stopped Rong Xia: "Where are you taking the girl?"
"Hua likes a softer bed, I'll take her back to the manor to recuperate," Rong Xia nodded slightly to the prince, "Please forgive Wei Chen not to salute you."
The prince shook his head and sighed: "I'll go and invite the imperial doctor to your residence."
"Thank you prince."
The prince said: "The girl is my cousin. I feel bad when I see her like this, so I don't need to thank her."
The princess looked a little lonely. She was insulted by a prince. Not only did the prince not get her face back, but he was worried about a distant cousin. When did her relationship with the prince become so cold
I remember that when she first married into the Prince's Mansion, the prince treated her very well.
Just because... Can't she give birth to a son for him
Rong Xia walked out of the room with Ban Hua in her arms, raised her head and met Shi Jin who was standing outside.
The cold wind picked up, blowing Rong Xue's loose hair.
The author has something to say: Lobster: Whoever commits crimes will be punished.
