Hand Medicine Fragrance

Chapter 255

Ma Xiaoxiao, the former princess of the Chu Kingdom, went from the side concubine of the prince to the concubine Chen, and then relegated all the way, becoming a fourth-rank beauty.

Since becoming a beauty, the Holy Majesty has never summoned her again.

Her life in the palace was not easy, but it was never heard that she was sick, or had any hidden diseases, and her body was still very healthy.

This sudden death, and at this time, things are not so simple.

The rigid conflict that had just arisen between Ji Bocai and Zhao Yuanzhen immediately disappeared under the impact of one person's life.

The two looked at each other, and then both looked at the Holy One.

Chai Xian's face turned darker than that of Zhao Yuanzhen, he raised his hand and slapped the dragon chair angrily, "Ma Meiren has no symptoms, why did she die suddenly?"

"This..." The palace man kneeling outside the palace gate raised his head slightly, but lowered his head again.

"Get out and answer!" Chai Xian shouted.

The palace servants hurriedly rolled into the palace, and whispered back: "Didn't the Holy Majesty allow the envoys of the Chu Kingdom to meet Ma Meiren..."

Chai Xian took a deep breath and sneered, "Is it the Chu people who poisoned my beauty?"

Among the envoys from the state of Chu, there were several women.

Today, when the people of Chu wanted to offer their jade and city, those women were there.

Those women were all beauties presented to him by the state of Chu, and he didn't intend to accept them at first.When the Chu people first came to offer gifts, they didn't mention Meiji.But he only brought it up at this time, as if he accepted the beauty and agreed to the conditions of the people of Chu to marry Princess Changming?
Where does this lead to Princess Changming?

But the people of Chu State expressed very humbly that whether he accepts Meiji or not has nothing to do with asking to marry Princess Changming, but only begging him to send Ma Xiaoxiao, the former princess of Chu State, back to Chu State.

Chai Xian naturally refused, not because he liked Ma Xiaoxiao so much, but she was his woman after all, she followed him when she was clean, how could she give it to others when she wanted it?

"The new beautiful girl from the state of Chu begs me to visit Ma Xiaoxiao." Chai Xian said to Ji Bocai with a serious face, "I don't agree to return Ma Xiaoxiao to them, but they also ask for a meeting, so I will allow it." It's..."

Chai Xian's face became more and more ugly, staring at the palace and said: "Ma Mei died suddenly, after Meiji of Chu State met her?"

The palace servant kowtowed tremblingly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it was... when Meiji of Chu State met Ma Meiren."

The hall was instantly quiet.

The sound of birds chirping outside the hall seemed to come in.

Chai Xian stared, as if he couldn't believe his ears, "What did you say?"

"When the beauty died suddenly, was Mei Ji of Chu Kingdom in the beauty hall? With the beauty?" Ji Bocai hurriedly asked the palace maid.

The Holy Majesty's voice frightened the palace servants so that they didn't know how to answer. Hearing Ji Xiang's question, he nodded again and again, "That's right, that's right!"

Both Ji Bocai and Zhao Yuanzhen turned to the Holy One.

Chai Xian got up angrily, "Bring me the beautiful princess of Chu State present here!"

The palace people hurriedly kowtowed and retreated.

The newly-presented Meiji from Chu State was escorted into the palace not long after.

At this moment, Ji Bocai did not push Zhao Yuanzhen away, but walked up to him and stood still, whispering to him, "Tell me, what is Ma Wenzhao's plan?"

Zhao Yuanzhen glanced at him, "What does he have in mind, and what does it have to do with me? If you can't decide what he is planning, let him get it."

Ji Bocai hooked the corner of his mouth and nodded again and again, "Very true, very true."

"Where is the imperial physician, how did Beauty Ma die?" Chai Xian asked the imperial physician in a cold voice in front of Meiji from Chu.

Before the imperial physician could speak, Meiji of Chu State cleared her throat, and said gently and without fear, "I was poisoned to death by dove wine."

Chai Xian turned his neck stiffly, looked at Meiji, "Poisoned?"

Meiji smiled slightly, "Yes, it was the concubine who poured the wine for her."

Chai Xian seemed to have heard some ridiculous joke, so he sneered.

Ji Bocai also frowned and looked at the beauty of Chu, thinking about what kind of tricks Ma Wenzhao was playing.

Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes were heavy and his face was expressionless.

"So, you poisoned her to death." Chai Xian exhaled, "You are a beauty consecrated by the new emperor of Chu, and your words and deeds do not represent yourself. "

"It is precisely because of this that the concubine has to pour wine for Ma Meiren herself." Chu Guomeiji said, "Ma Meiren is the daughter of a person who conspired to commit treason, murder her brother and usurp the throne, so she cannot be called a princess at all. How can she be served? What about you, Your Majesty? Your Majesty is orthodox, and you hate this kind of treason and treason the most! But she is someone close to you. Your Majesty is kind and generous, how can you punish her?"

Chai Xian looked down at the opening and closing of Mei Ji's cherry lips.

Under such circumstances, this Meiji can still flatter and praise the Holy Majesty calmly, which is considered a talent.

"That's why, my pilgrimage is willing to share your worries and problems with my lord, and order my servants and concubines to wipe out the rest of the evil immediately once they are lucky enough to enter the palace." Meiji of Chu State said, "One is to cooperate with the one who conspired against and murdered brothers. It is necessary to draw a clear line so that she will not slander her in the ears of the Holy One and harm the current friendly relationship between Chu State and Da Zhou. Second, it is also to avoid the embarrassment of the Holy One."

"The Emperor of Chu doesn't know the reason for marrying and obeying her husband?" Chai Xian sneered, "First, Ma Xiaoxiao is already my woman. What about her previous background, she is now a person close to me. Without my permission, No one can act rashly. Second, you are the beautiful concubine presented to me by the state of Chu. From the moment I allow you to enter the palace, all your words and deeds must obey my will. Without my permission, how can you do it yourself? Make a decision, and do such a murderous thing?"

Hearing the words, the beautiful princess of Chu State immediately bent over, kowtowed deeply, and touched the ground with her face, "My concubine is guilty, please be punished by the Holy One."

She confessed her guilt very readily, and she didn't open her mouth to intercede, begging the Holy Lord for mercy.

It seems that he is ready to die.

Chai Xian gritted his teeth, and looked sideways at Ji Bocai and Zhao Yuanzhen who were standing aside.

Ji Bocai cleared his throat.

But before he opened his mouth, Zhao Yuanzhen took a step forward, "This beauty has been consecrated to the palace, but she still reads the order of the old master, which means that she is not loyal to you. What are you doing with her? Kill her immediately!"

That Meiji looked up at Zhao Yuanzhen.

On her beautiful and alluring face, there was no fear, but she smiled lightly at Zhao Yuanzhen.

Ji Bocai interrupted, "Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Chai Xian frowned.

"Your Majesty, please arrest this beautiful girl first." Ji Bocai said, cupping his hands.

The Holy Majesty waved his hand, and the palace people stepped forward immediately, and took that Meiji down.

The servants in the hall were also cleared away.

Only Chai Xian, Tong Ji Bocai, Zhao Yuanzhen, the monarch and his ministers are still in the palace.

The hall seemed a little empty and cold.

Chai Xian's face was very ugly, "What do you want to say, Xiang Ji?"

"Your Majesty also thinks this beauty should be killed?" Ji Bocai asked slowly.

"It's not that I'm reluctant to part with a woman. I'm neither greedy for Ma Xiaoxiao, nor confused by this beautiful girl." Chai Xian said coldly, "But if I don't kill her if she behaves like this, wouldn't I be afraid of that horse? Wen Zhao? This Ma Wenzhao is too deceitful!"

"What Ma Wenzhao did was clearly intended to provoke His Majesty," Ji Bocai said.

"What good does it do him to provoke me at this time? Could it be that he was just talking about the marriage proposal?" Chai Xian frowned.

Ji Bocai shook his head, "Let's not judge the matter of asking for marriage. Since he has such an arrangement, he must have something to hold. Maybe he has already united with the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom, and is waiting for you, the Holy Majesty, to kill Meiji , After the envoy came, the army suppressed the situation. You were forced to make concessions, Your Majesty..."

Chai Xian snorted, "I'm going to be afraid of him? The Kingdom of Shu doesn't just do what he says! Although Da Zhou's vitality is seriously injured, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a Kingdom of Chu, right?"

Ji Bocai nodded, "What if the Kingdom of Shu is really willing to help him in this matter?"

Chai Xian frowned.

"The situation is unknown, why did Ji Xiang build up the ambitions of others and destroy his prestige?" Zhao Yuanzhen looked at Ji Bocai with an unkind expression.

"Meiji of Chu State killed the former princess Ma Xiaoxiao for two reasons. One is to consolidate the relationship between the two countries and prevent the former princess from going forward and slandering the emperor and destroying the relationship between the two countries. The second is to protect the relationship between the two countries. Share your worries so that the Holy One won't bear it..."

Chai Xian interrupted Ji Bocai before he finished speaking.

"That's bullshit."

Chai Xian seldom utters foul language, but this sentence is quite like Brother Xuan's tone.

"However, the Holy Majesty beheaded Chu's Meiji because of this, and he took the initiative to break the covenant with Chu. He was the one who started the discord between the two countries." Ji Bocai said slowly.

"Oh, a beautiful girl, dare to kill my beauty. I can't kill her? Aren't I a wimp? Aren't I a wimp?" Chai Xian shouted.

"But the Holy Majesty can't forget Ma Xiaoxiao's identity. Ma Xiaoxiao is the daughter of Ma Wenzhao's enemy. If the Holy Majesty wants to take the initiative, he should deal with Ma Xiaoxiao first when he receives the envoy from Chu State, so as to show that the Holy Majesty is on good terms now." The sincerity of the Emperor of Chu. Only by doing this can we take the initiative in the next negotiation." Ji Bocai said.

"Bah! My woman, I can't be the master? Could it be that now, I have to swallow that beauty and let her go? Doesn't this mean that Ma Wenzhao is even the master of my harem?" Chai Xian said coldly.

"If a war between the two countries is set off for this, the common people will not think that the Holy Majesty is for the glory and prestige of the Great Zhou. They will only think that the Holy Majesty is a foolish king who is greedy for beauty and does not care about a woman!" Ji Bocai also raised his voice slightly. .
