Miss she is not dead!
Not only did he not die, but he also escaped marriage!
That liar Du Juan married into the Hou Mansion instead of her!
These three lines of sentences filled Hong'er's mind, and she finally came to a gnashing conclusion: "The two of them are in collusion!"
She should have thought of it earlier! Why did Miss suddenly go to the grove to breathe, how did the cuckoo appear there by such a coincidence, and most importantly, why did Miss suddenly die!
She was so shocked at that time, not to mention that she hadn't checked the young lady's pulse, she didn't even taste the young lady's breath, but when Du Juan said that the young lady died, she believed it as if she had been possessed by a demon! Du Juan is indeed the greatest liar in Chang'an City!
Hong'er was so angry that she almost bit her lip. Now that she thought about it, the fine human skin mask on Du Juan's face couldn't have been made in just a short while. The two of them might have colluded long ago. Just wait for the wedding day to implement the plan!
Hong'er rubbed her hands subconsciously, walking back and forth on the same spot. What to do now, expose the cuckoo? But she is also an accomplice, and with Du Juan's eloquence, maybe she can beat her up. No, she couldn't take the risk.
Pretending to be ignorant and rushing to the Hou Mansion? But if things come to light one day, she will still be dead. Hong'er shook her head, she won't go to Hou's mansion, she can't go back to Shilang's mansion either... She has only one way now, escape!
It doesn't matter whether the young lady escaped marriage for Mr. Tang, or what the purpose of Du Juan's deliberate infiltration into the Hou's mansion is, it has nothing to do with her!
Hong'er bit her bleeding lip, turned around and ran out of the grove.
When Liu Qinghuan arrived outside Yongninghou's mansion in the wedding car, she glanced at the tail of the procession.
Hong'er hasn't come back yet.
Slightly curling the corners of her mouth, Liu Qinghuan stepped on the felt mat and entered the gate of the Hou Mansion. Keeping Hong'er by her side is always a hidden danger, she doesn't worry about showing any flaws in herself, but she also doesn't want to be exposed because of her companion's stupidity.
She'd better run away, before being caught.
After paying homage around in the Hou Mansion, Liu Qinghuan was finally sent into a new house. After walking to the new bed and sitting down, she breathed a sigh of relief, finally the torment was over.
tuk tuk.
Someone knocked on the window edge twice suddenly, Liu Qinghuan frowned slightly, and looked towards the window: "Who is it?"
It was quiet outside for a while, and then a deliberately lowered female voice came in through the window paper: "Are you ready?"
Liu Qinghuan was slightly taken aback, what are you ready for? Bridal chamber
... The people in Hou's Mansion are really considerate, and they don't forget to care about the bride's emotions before the bridal chamber.
Thinking of Xue Mu's face, Liu Qinghuan lowered her head shyly: "Actually, not yet..."
Really annoying! Ask people this kind of question!
The people outside the window were silent for a while, and then seemed to sigh: "I knew you couldn't do anything. Today, taking advantage of the crowds in the Hou's residence, I finally found a chance. Just wait and see."
The more Liu Qinghuan listened to her frown, the tighter her brows became. With her habit of inferring others from the perspective of malice, she could read a whole lot of malice from this sentence. She wanted to continue talking to that person, but unfortunately the person outside the window had already left, so she could only frown and stare at the candles in the room lost in thought.
tuk tuk.
Two more beeps, but this time from the door. Liu Qinghuan looked over subconsciously, just in time to see Xue Mu pushing the door and entering. He stood at the door and looked at Liu Qinghuan for a while before walking in.
Liu Qinghuan suddenly became nervous, what should she do at this time? Do you take off your shirt first or your skirt first
No no no no, no! You should drink Hebei wine first!
Liu Qinghuan forced herself to be calm, and looked up at Xue Mu. Still with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he picked up the goblet cup on the table and walked over. His shadow was stretched very long by the candlelight, gradually covering Liu Qinghuan's body, Liu Qinghuan lost his mind for a moment, and then heard him asking in a low voice: "Qingqing, would you like to have a drink with me?"
Liu Qinghuan frowned almost imperceptibly. He called himself so affectionately. It seemed that he had known him since childhood, which was a bit bad.
"Qingqing?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Xue Mu called again.
Liu Qinghuan raised her head, smiled and took the wine glass in his hand: "Okay."
Xue Mu looked at her, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and raised his hand. The arms of the two crossed and passed through each other. Liu Qinghuan looked down at the wine glass that had been put to his lips, and the strange words of that person just now echoed in his mind.
"Don't drink!" With a wave of her sleeve, she knocked over the wine glasses in their hands. Xue Mu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then the wine glass hit the ground with a "bang", and the full wine spilled all over the floor.
Liu Qinghuan remembered that she checked the almanac before going out, and it really said: Everything is going well today.
But the fact is that bad things happen one after another, and this one in front of him should be the worst one, right
There was poison in the wine.
The supposedly sweet Hejin wine actually contained a strong poison, and it was bubbling white on the ground.
Liu Qinghuan quickly glanced at Xue Mu, who was looking down at the foaming wine on the ground in a daze, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Liu Qinghuan's eyes moved slightly, it seemed that this smile was not an expression for him, but a habit.
Her mind was spinning quickly, and before Xue Mu could speak, she began to cry in a low voice.
Hearing her cry, Xue Mu raised his head, frowning slightly, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his index finger: "Qingqing, why are you crying?"
Liu Qinghuan sobbed for a while, and looked at him with watery eyes: "To tell you the truth, before the big wedding today, Hong'er and I went for a walk in the woods. I didn't want to meet a... liar there."
"Liar?" Xue Mu subconsciously raised his eyebrows, showing a doubtful expression.
"Yeah." Liu Qinghuan nodded and continued, "He pretended to be an eminent monk, saying that I was destined to be Kefu. If I insisted on marrying Lord Hou, I would definitely kill Lord Hou."
Xue Mu frowned slightly, before pondering for a moment, he said, "Before we got married, we had already married."
Liu Qinghuan pursed her lips, covered her face and said, "Yes, but I was terrified when I heard him say that at the time, and somehow I believed his nonsense. He gave me a small pill and said that as long as it was mixed into He Qi In the wine, drink it with Lord Hou, and this fate can be resolved. I am stupid, so I did as he said." Liu Qinghuan cried again when he said this, "But the more I thought about it just now, the more I felt that Something was wrong, that's why I knocked over the wine glass. Fortunately, I stopped the horse in time, otherwise it would have been a big mistake."
After Liu Qinghuan finished speaking, she secretly looked at Xue Mu while wiping away her tears. There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, she couldn't tell how much he believed. She felt very disturbed, the poison in the wine should have been injected by the person outside the window just now, but what is the relationship between her and Liu Qinghuan? And according to her opinion, Liu Qinghuan should have administered this poison, but why did Liu Qinghuan harm Xue Mu? She had never heard of these things before. It seems that the third lady of the Minister's Mansion has an extraordinary identity.
She could have pretended to be ignorant of the poison and left herself completely alone, but if she did, it would not explain how she found out that the wine was poisonous, and Xue Mu would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. Before she figured out the relationship between Liu Qinghuan and the poisoner, if he caught him, he would become very passive.
Therefore, she took the blame for it righteously, and she felt that she was really the number one warrior of the great inheritance.
The room was unbearably quiet, and before Liu Qinghuan considered an apology with death, Xue Mu finally spoke: "You are not to blame for this, and the poison in the wine may not necessarily be caused by the pills you put in."
Liu Qinghuan blinked quickly and asked, "Why?"
Xue Mudao: "Someone has assassinated me twice before, maybe this time they took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Hou's residence and drugged the wine."
Liu Qinghuan felt a little aggrieved. If she had known that so many people wanted to kill Lord Hou, she would not have admitted it so readily just now. However, as Mrs. Hou who just passed the door, she still needs to care about her husband-in-law: "Do you know who he is? And why did you kill Lord Hou?"
Xue Mudao: "I know the identity of the other party, as for the reason..." He paused, his voice was a little lower than before, "Killing me is equivalent to breaking the emperor's left and right arms."
Liu Qinghuan had an epiphany, it turned out that she was implicated by the emperor, and it seemed that being a loyal minister was not easy.
"But how dare they join you this time..." Xue Mu lowered his voice, paused, and then said something else, "I will send someone to clean here, and you must not tell others about the pills."
Liu Qinghuan nodded in agreement, but even if Xue Mu didn't tell, she wouldn't tell others.
Xue Mu looked at her for a while, then turned around and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Qingqing, where is your dowry maid?"
Liu Qinghuan raised her eyes slightly, looked at him and said: "It seems that something was left behind. When I got into the wedding car, I turned back to the Minister's Mansion, and I haven't come back yet. Could something have happened?"
Xue Mu thought for a while and said, "I'll send someone to inquire tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, thank you."
Xue Mu nodded slightly and left the room. Liu Qinghuan sat down on the bed and exhaled deeply.
Not long after, the door was knocked again, and two beautiful maids pushed the door and walked in: "I have seen Madam, Chitao Qingzhi is ordered by the Marquis to serve Madam."
Liu Qinghuan looked at the two maidservants kneeling in front of her for a while, nodded and said, "Get up."
Chi Tao and Qing Zhi got up, Liu Qinghuan pointed to them both, and asked: "You are Chi Tao, are you Qing Zhi?"
"Yes." The two maids replied in unison. Liu Qinghuan didn't speak any more, Chitao took the initiative to clean the ground, while Qingzhi walked to her side, and took off the gold hairpins and emerald tines that she had stuck all over her head one by one. After Liu Qinghuan changed her clothes, she turned her head to Qing Zhi who was beside her and asked, "Where's Lord Hou?"
Qingzhi seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, she lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice: "Master Hou asked the servant to tell Madam that he lives by the lotus tonight."
"En." Liu Qinghuan replied and lay down on the bed. On the wedding night, the bride poisoned the wedding wine... Master Hou will probably live by the lotus for a long time.
