Xia Hourui stood up from behind, with a stern face, but with a courage that could not be rejected.
Standing in front of Lou Qingwu, she looked up at Concubine Ying: "Prince, drink for her."
Concubine Ying squeezed the handkerchief tightly, "Second Prince, are you joking?"
Xia Hourui: "Rui never jokes. Rui just wants to ask, what is Concubine Ying doing to make the lively Furong Festival so tense?"
If the three cups were all poisoned wine, and Miss Lou had an accident after drinking it, did she really think she could get away with it
Yes, the emperor dotes on her, but he will not let her murder a life so blatantly!
The smile on Concubine Ying's face disappeared, and she looked at Xia Hourui with a sullen face: "The second prince is accusing me?"
Xia Hourui's tall figure cast a shadow on the ground, and said indifferently, "Don't dare."
But he won't let her succeed either!
Lou Qingwu turned her head, her eyes fell on Xia Hourui's tightly pursed thin lips, a light shone in her eyes, and when the situation became more and more intense, she said: "My daughter already knows which glass of wine is non-toxic. "
Xia Hourui turned her head abruptly: "Okay, you point it out, and I'll help you drink it."
Lou Qingwu shook her head: "Second Prince, this is Concubine Ying's test for the courtiers, and the courtiers can do it themselves."
There was a hint of worry in Xia Hourui's eyes, "But..."
Lou Qingwu didn't answer, but just looked deeply at Xia Hourui, don't you believe in my ability
Xia Hourui pursed his lips, not because he didn't believe it, but because he was worried that if something happened, how could he bear to let her...
Lou Qingwu smiled, the corners of her lips curled up softly, and her eyes were clear, "Second Prince, don't worry, I believe Concubine Ying is not a cruel person, so naturally she won't really want Qingwu to die, yes Right, Concubine Ying?"
Concubine Ying's already raised smile froze, she frowned and looked at Lou Qingwu, "...Of course. I have always been benevolent." Did she see it
But how is it possible
Lou Qingwu was still soft and submissive, "Then the servant girl can rest assured."
He picked up the glass of wine in front of him and was about to put it in his mouth.
But it was blocked by Xia Hourui, "Miss Lou?"
Lou Qingwu pushed his hand away and said in a low voice, "Trust me."
Xia Hourui didn't let go of her blocking hand, and her dark eyes fell deeply into Lou Qingwu's eyes, but when she saw her fearless face, she finally chose to believe her.
Slowly let go of the hand.
Lou Qingwu picked up the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.
Concubine Ying's face was completely ugly.
"It seems that it's all right." The queen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lou Qingwu was fine. At the same time, she also felt that the second emperor was a little reckless. He just appeared suddenly and openly resisted Concubine Ying, and the news was heard by the emperor. , I am afraid that he will have a bad impression of him by one or two points.
But just when everyone thought it was about to end, Lou Qingwu suddenly picked up another two glasses of wine.
drank it down.
Everyone froze there for an instant.
Even Xia Hourui didn't expect Lou Qingwu to do this, everyone was shocked.
Concubine Ying's face was so ugly the moment Lou Qingwu drank it that it was impossible to describe it in words.
To everyone's surprise, after Lou Qingwu drank three glasses of wine, nothing happened.
Everyone couldn't help looking at Concubine Ying one after another. When they saw her unkind expression, they silently lowered their heads. Only Xia Hourui and the queen frowned a little, "Concubine Ying, what's going on?"
Concubine Ying frowned fiercely, the damned Lou Qingwu actually ruined her plan.
Her purpose today is not to let Lou Qingwu die at all, but for the second prince Xia Houqing. After her inquiries, the second prince Xia Hourui treats the eldest lady of the Lou family very differently.
As long as today she tried every means to make things difficult for Lou Qingwu.
Then, the second prince will definitely not remain indifferent when she encounters danger, and she can take this opportunity to anger Xia Hourui.
As long as he speaks disobediently, she can sue the emperor.
In this way, the emperor will be even more displeased with the second prince. At that time, it is wishful thinking for him to want to be the prince.
Even if Xia Hourui won't stand out for Lou Qingwu, no one would dare to drink poison when ordinary people hear about it. As long as the young lady of the Lou family shows a little timidity, she can embellish her and embarrass her, so that her impression in the emperor's heart will be reduced. Collapsed. Originally, the plan was foolproof, but she never thought that the eldest lady of the Lou family would really dare to drink.
These three glasses of wine were not poisonous, so how could she poison her
Even if she is just a courtier's daughter, it is impossible for the emperor to think that she is a poisonous woman.
Lou Qingwu watched the rapidly changing expression on Concubine Ying's face, lowered her eyes, covering the cold light in her eyes, how could she not think of what she wanted
Concubine Ying initially said that life and death are fate, but if she really died or was poisoned, then she couldn't get away with it.
Therefore, in order to protect himself, first of all, he had to ensure that she would not die.
The prerequisite for not dying is that there is no poison in the wine.
Lou Qingwu put the wine cup in her hand on the tray, and the maidservant who was holding the tray had a very delicate expression on her face, she turned her head to look at Concubine Ying uneasily, a cold light flashed in the latter's pupils.
The maid immediately returned behind her tremblingly.
Only then did Concubine Ying laugh: "Miss Lou is really smart, she actually realized that I was just joking with her."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone lowered their eyes, whether they believed her words or not was another story.
The queen looked at Concubine Ying, and then at Lou Qingwu and Xia Hourui standing under the stands. Only then did she understand Concubine Ying's thoughts, and her face immediately sank.
But it's not easy to get angry, so I can only smile coldly: "My younger sister is also very smart. I thought my younger sister was innocent by nature, but I didn't expect to think of such an ingenious joke. It really opened my eyes...."
A light and fluttering sentence, with a strong sense of irony.
Concubine Ying smiled and said nothing, but the resentment towards Lou Qingwu in her heart increased.
The queen was gnashing her teeth in anger. If it wasn't for the intelligence of Qingwu, Rui'er would really argue with her, and if something happens, she might faint or "stun". Not to mention that the hibiscus feast is well under way, I am afraid that even Rui'er will inevitably be reprimanded by the emperor, and even her feet will be grounded.
Once such a thing happened at this juncture, the consequences would be unimaginable to her.
But even if she understood, she couldn't touch this woman.
Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, the queen looked at the audience, not far away was a garden full of hibiscus flowers, which were in full bloom.
But she couldn't stand it at all, she just felt a headache, but she just couldn't let Concubine Ying really succeed.
After sorting out her mood, she said: "Since my younger sister has already tested Qing Wu, this child is really talented, so let's continue what I said earlier, who can become the best today, this prize is her. It's gone."
After the queen finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Concubine Ying: "Your sister should be fine, right?"
