The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 205
In Tai's womb.

"How is it? Did you find someone?" Xiyue nervously looked at the maid Xinlan in front of her.

"The servants have sent out the code, but the envoy still hasn't appeared. Could it be... that the envoy really did it?" And they have already been abandoned in Chen Country as outcasts?Xinlan was full of worries.

The envoy was the person Xiao Yichen sent to Kingdom Chen to supervise Xiyue.

Chenhuang was poisoned suddenly, Xiyue was very surprised, and the Queen Mother sent people to guard the entire prince's palace, which made her more uneasy and did not dare to act rashly.

Could it be that Emperor Xiao felt that his hands and feet were too slow and asked the envoy to poison Emperor Chen directly?But this is too reckless. I still remember that before I came to Chen Country, they told me to follow orders and not to make my own decisions. Now, Xiyue can't move freely and can't contact the envoy. Could it be that she can only sit and wait?She didn't want to become an abandoned child without knowing what happened.

Moreover, the antidote is running out again.

"Where's the prince?"

"His Highness stayed in the study last night."

Now the most annoying thing is not only myself, presumably the Crown Prince of Chen Kingdom is also trying to find ways to get rid of his situation.

Xiyue didn't dare to rush to ask Dongfang Xu about the situation, because if it was really the Yi Kingdom's work, once she was discovered, she would be the most dangerous person.

"Let Shen Qing in!"

After a while, the guard entered the prince's bedroom while no one was paying attention.

"Do you have a way to let me enter the Nine Dragon Palace?" Xiyue now only hopes that the chess piece she has won can come in handy.

Shen Qing looked at the serious little face in front of him with a little obsession, "This subordinate has acquaintances in the imperial army."

"Okay! Let's arrange for Ben Gong to go in today!"

However, Xiyue, who had changed into a palace lady's clothes, followed Shen Qing's arrangement and hid in a corner outside the Nine Dragon Hall waiting for an opportunity.

The Crown Princess, who was imprisoned in the Crown Prince's uterus, appeared here at this juncture, even if she was covered in mouths, even if she did not do it, the people of Chen Kingdom would believe that the poison was done by her.

"Can you go in?!"

Xiyue's tone was very impatient, and Shen Qing beside her frowned, "It still takes time."

Wait, wait, if you wait like this, Emperor Chen might be dead!

At this moment, a pair of hands rested lightly on her shoulders, Xiyue turned around in surprise and her heart jumped, "Who?!"

A cold face appeared in front of his eyes, half of his face was covered by a black cloak, Xiyue was overjoyed, "Messenger!"

As soon as the other party looked at her, Xiyue led Shen Qing to follow closely until they reached a deserted forest.

"Have you forgotten the emperor's order and you are not allowed to act without authorization? What, you want to save Emperor Chen, have you already betrayed the emperor?"

With a tone full of blame and suspicion, Xiyue immediately defended, "No, because I have not been able to contact the envoy, I thought that the poisoning of Emperor Chen was caused by the envoy, so I wanted to go in and have a look..."

The other party snorted coldly, his sharp eyes seemed to see through Xiyue.She lowered her head with a guilty conscience, the judgment she made for self-protection, if the envoy told Xiao Huang, maybe she would withhold one of her antidote.

"The poisoning of Emperor Chen this time is nothing more than an internal struggle in the Kingdom of Chen. The emperor said that we just need to sit on the sidelines and wait for his order."

Infighting?

"Now that the crown prince of the Chen Kingdom is facing a crisis of dismissal, it is undoubtedly beneficial for our Yi Kingdom to fight domestically at this time. We just need to wait for the opportunity to catch him by surprise..." The corner of the cloaked man's mouth slightly hooked, "Do your part well. , I don’t know who made the oath back then.”

"..." Xiyue bit her lower lip lightly, and the man in the cloak disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shen Qing came out from the corner, seeing the wronged expression of the woman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, "Ma'am, do you need your subordinates to deal with that rude person?"

"Hmph, how could you be his opponent?" Even his own ecstasy could not resist, and he probably killed the messenger before he even got close to him.

Xiyue took a deep breath, her heart was full of unwillingness, the crown prince dismissed?So what will happen to her, the crown princess of Kingdom Chen?
in the study.

"Your Highness, Shen Qing has taken Princess Yi out." Shadow came to report, and Dongfang Xu put down the book in his hand, "To Nine Dragon Palace?"

"They waited outside for a long time without waiting for the right time, so they were taken away by a man. The subordinates were afraid of being discovered, so they couldn't see the man's face clearly."

"Well, give this to County Lord Yongji, and tell her, don't worry, the hall will take care of all this." Dongfang Xu watched the shadow disappear before him, but he sighed softly. clues.

Only after this incident happened did he know that there were so many voices of opposition in the court. Could it be that he was really dissatisfied because he had traveled abroad for many years and abandoned his duties as the crown prince?He was not worried about his position as the crown prince, but worried that what happened this time would turmoil the Chen Kingdom, and it would be an opportunity for those who are willing to take advantage of it.

In the bamboo courtyard, Yunshu received a letter from Dongfang Xu, and the shadow in front of her eyes lowered her head, "Your Highness, let the county master not worry."

Looking at the contents of the letter, Yun Shu nodded lightly, "This matter is aimed at the prince, and it will take some time for the emperor to wake up. During this time, don't be negligent, and you must protect your highness well."

What she was worried about was that the people behind the scenes would continue to assassinate Dongfang Xu secretly, creating the illusion that the prince committed suicide in fear of crime.

"This subordinate understands that this subordinate will definitely do everything possible to protect His Highness."

Yunshu gave her a look, and Chunxiang behind her immediately took out a red brocade box from the back room.

"Help me hand it over to His Highness, and the white porcelain bottle in it, let Shen Qing drink it, it will relieve the enchanting incense in him, and tell His Highness, it will be up to the plan."

"My subordinate understands!"

With the tightly closed palace gate, there is a heavy atmosphere all around.In the corner outside the Crown Princess's room, Shen Qing's eyes stayed on the window sill for a long time, and occasionally he could see that beautiful figure from the slightly open window, for some reason, once he couldn't see her, his whole heart would become restless.

"Shen Qing."

At this time, another guard came to him, "His Royal Highness calls you."

Shen Qing's eyes sank, and he followed the guard into Dongfang Xu's study.

The handsome and young crown prince stood in front of the table. As soon as Shen Qing came in, he immediately saluted, "See Your Highness."

Dongfang Xu turned around slowly, looking at the guard in front of him who had been with him for many years, Xiyue's medicine is so powerful, can it change people's hearts?

"Shen Qing, do you still remember how many years you have been by my side?"

"...It's been three years." For some reason, Shen Qing felt something buzzing in her head.

"Do you still remember that one year ago, you blocked the sword for our hall?"

a year ago?Shen Qing frowned lightly, he... actually didn't remember anything.

"I asked you to monitor the princess of Yi Kingdom, what abnormal behavior did she do?"

Speaking of Xiyue, Shen Qing felt very clear-headed. "As always, the Crown Princess stayed in her own room and did not move around at will."

Dongfang Xu pondered for a moment, "Really? Very good, you will stay by her side and monitor her for the hall."

A gleam of joy immediately surged in Shen Qing's heart for being able to stay with the Crown Princess.

A pair of hands suddenly appeared in front of him, and Dongfang Xu had already come to him, "Let's have a cup of tea."

"...Subordinates dare not!"

Dongfang Xu smiled softly, "Did you forget that this hall said that you don't need to mind the courtesy of the monarch and ministers in private."

"..." He, he had forgotten, why did he feel a splitting headache?
Enduring the severe pain in her head, Shen Qing stretched out her hand to take the cup in Dongfang Xu's hand and drank it down in one gulp.

There seemed to be a scorching heat burning in his stomach, Shen Qing's face changed drastically, he bent down and looked up at Dongfang Xu with a calm expression in front of him vigilantly, "Too... son..."

His hand slowly reached his waist, holding the long sword, and then the burning sensation receded, replaced by bone-piercing coldness rushing straight into his mind, and his vision blurred.

The guard on the ground immediately collapsed, and Dongfang Xu supported him in time.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qing slowly opened her eyes, and saw Dongfang Xu's worried expression, "...Your Highness..."

"Where did Shen Qing go?!" Xiyue looked at Xin Lan who had returned in vain. He should have been waiting outside, why did he leave for so long.

Xiyue began to worry a little, if something happened.

Afterwards, the door creaked and slowly opened, Shen Qing appeared in the room, Xiyue immediately went up to her, "What happened, where did you go?"

"I found a suspicious person just now, the princess should be more careful recently."

Suspicious character?Could it be that the envoy was spying on him, or was it aimed at Prince Chen?Xiyue immediately turned serious, "If similar things happen in the future, you will stay by my side to protect my safety."

Shen Qing lowered her head slightly, "This subordinate understands!"

Dongfang Xu looked at Yunshu's reply letter in his hand, and couldn't help but smiled wryly. He wanted her not to worry about herself, but he didn't expect to rely on her help in the end.

Countermeasures?Let Shen Qing stay by Xiyue's side, and once he has gained her trust, he can discover more information from her.

After waking up, Shen Qing recalled what had happened in the past few days, including the words of the envoy from the Yi Kingdom. They were not responsible for the poison of the emperor's father, and Xiyue was indeed a spy sent by the Emperor Xiao to the Kingdom of Chen. How much poison did you have on your body?

Dongfang Xu looked at the sachet given by Yun Shu in his hand, and he had to be careful.

And the other end.

Outside the cold palace, Dongfang Rui looked up at the gloomy and dark sky, the dark clouds covered all the stars, and the two white lanterns were swaying with the wind, which gave off a somewhat gloomy and strange taste.

He could never forget the look in the eyes of that concubine in plain clothes.

After all, where have you seen it?Strange but interesting.It seems that there is a voice driving him, and he must come and ask what happened.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Rui immediately took a deep breath, leaped and landed in the bleak courtyard.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness has already entered."

Scared Sister rang softly, and the woman on the couch opened her slightly painful eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
