Chapter 412 The Secret of a Pot of Wine

It wasn't until half a bowl of blood was taken that Zhao Xiwei threw away Zhao Chengyu's wrist, put the bowl on the tray, took a white soft satin to wipe off the blood on his fingers, and then saluted the Queen Mother, saying: "The Queen Mother Empress, this concubine has already taken blood, do you think it will be returned? If not, I can get a second bowl for you—"

"No—" As soon as the words fell, Zhao Chengyu trembled violently, hugged the armrest of the throne in horror, and said sharply: "The empress dowager, please forgive me, the empress dowager, please don't listen to her nonsense!"

In the past, my mother used to say that a dog that can bark does not bite, and a dog that bites cannot bark.

She remembered the first confrontation with Zhao Xiwei, when her mother slapped her and dragged her to the princess mansion to kneel down and apologize.That night, Mother hugged her and said, Mother beat you for your own good, to let you remember that you can't afford to mess with that Zhao Xiwei.

She retorted stiffly at that time: "Isn't she just a concubine, what can you do to me?"

At this moment, when she really experienced the viciousness of this wild girl, she knew that what her mother said was right.

This wild girl looks weak and incompetent, but she actually dares to kill!

She closed her eyes in pain and humiliation, salty tears flowed into the corners of her mouth, and she didn't have the strength to wipe it away, she just cried like a bereaved dog, "Sister Wei! Sister..."

In fact, she really didn't want to be so humble, but she was too scared, just cutting off half of her nails already made her miserable, and this wild girl became arrogant, it is not impossible to cut off another finger...

Not only that, this wild girl might make trouble in the Zhao Mansion...

The old lady is such a snobbish person, she will definitely be taken down again, how will she survive in the future?
Thinking of this, whether it is unwillingness or jealousy, what is the importance of the current life?

She couldn't help kneeling in front of Zhao Xiwei, tearfully said: "Sister, Yu'er was wrong, please let me go for the sake of our family, I will never dare Already!"

"Let you go?" Zhao Xi smiled softly, kicked her knee with his toes, and said in a gentle tone, "Write down what you did to me word by word, frame it, and hang it in the Zhao Mansion." Ancestral Hall, I will let you go."

"You, you are too deceitful!" Zhao Chengyu's eyes darkened, and blood rushed to his head, and he finally passed out.

"Presumptuous!" Although the Queen Mother didn't expect Zhao Chengyu to be successful, how could she have thought that it was a waste who was frightened like this by Zhao Xiwei's two swords?
She had seen enough of a good show, so she slapped the table heavily: "Come on—"

Just as he was about to give orders, a servant suddenly ran in and reported in a high-pitched voice: "Empress Dowager, Pei Cairen is here!"

"Pei Cairen?" The Empress Dowager frowned, then remembered, and said with a smile: "It's the noble concubine who was demoted not long ago!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps coming from the corridor, accompanied by a sharp voice: "Empress Dowager, my concubine has something important to report!"

"Ok?"

Pei Cairen and the Queen Mother had always been at odds. The two had been fighting tit for tat for more than ten years. Even in difficult times, they never bowed their heads to the Queen Mother.

Now he suddenly took the initiative to run to this Changxin Palace, and said he had something important to report?
The queen mother glanced at Zhao Xiwei, and smiled meaningfully: "Biography!"

"The concubine sees the empress dowager! The empress dowager is blessed and safe!"

Pei Cairen suffered from anger in the cold palace for more than ten days, and was sick and crazy for a long time. Now that King Jin came back, the emperor couldn't let her live in the cold palace anymore, so he let her move back to the original place. palace.

Although he moved back, this position is still talented.

As soon as Pei Cairen came out of the cold palace, the arrogance of revenge rose, he had hope, and his spirit returned to its original state—no, it should be said that he was more valiant than before.

After seeing the ceremony, she stood under the throne, glanced coldly at Zhao Xiwei, and then said to the queen mother: "Mother queen, my concubine heard that you want to take the blood of the princess as medicine?"

While speaking, he raised his eyes inadvertently, saw the blood at the bottom of the bowl, took a step back, and said in a panic: "The empress dowager! This must never be used! Her blood, her blood is poisonous!"

"What do you mean?" The Queen Mother frowned, couldn't help but look at Pei Cairen, and said unceremoniously, "Are you still recovering from your illness?"

"The Empress Dowager!" Pei Cairen ignored the sarcasm in the Empress Dowager's tone, almost gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "The concubine just got the news that this crown princess has taken an unknown love potion! If you Using her blood as medicine may harm your phoenix body!"

"Oh?" The queen mother became interested, sat upright, and looked at Pei Cairen curiously: "What love potion, can you tell Aijia about it?"

She asked casually, as if she didn't believe this happened at all, but she was already alert in her heart - she gave Zhao Xiwei a glass of wine at the palace banquet that day, and that wine was mixed with an extremely rare drug .

She thought that this matter was done flawlessly - after all, even the prince couldn't find out, and even if he found out, he didn't know how the medicine was developed.

How did a mere Pei Cai know?
The Queen Mother lifted her eyelids lazily, and a murderous intent quietly appeared between her brows.

Zhao Xiwei was also stunned.

This Pei Cairen, did he hate himself so much that he went crazy?
Can such rumors be spread indiscriminately?
But just for a moment, she thought about being hijacked by bandits that day, and happened to find a bottle of medicine from bandits...

At that time, for the sake of her innocence, Li Xuanye didn't say anything.

She also thought that one thing more is worse than one thing less. After all, she blamed herself to some extent for what happened to Pei Cairen.

But now that Pei Cairen wants to plant his spoils on her in front of the Queen Mother, isn't he looking for his own death?
After thinking about it for a while, she made up her mind not to speak rashly, and wanted to see what Pei Cairen was going to say.

Pei Cairen gave Zhao Xiwei a haughty look, then turned around, and shouted an order to the door: "Come on, bring the imperial physician in!"

Immediately, an imperial physician walked in with a tray in his hand.

The Empress Dowager's gaze fell on the tray, and she asked doubtfully, "What is this?"

"Report to the Empress Dowager!" Pei Cairen regained his former pride and smiled flamboyantly: "This is a pot of wine!"

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager was addicted to alcohol, and her phoenix eyes twitched, "Are you giving this to Ai's family?"

"No!" Pei Cairen personally picked up the jug, walked in front of Zhao Xiwei, and then presented it to the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine has discovered a great secret! Just wait and see." Let's play!"

"It's just a jug of wine, what's the secret?" The queen mother sneered, disapproving.

She wasn't pretending, because no one knew the poison on Zhao Xiwei better than her.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the imperial physician's action made the empress dowager look murderous again.
