The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 27
At night, Gu Xinning sat blankly on the edge of the bed, thinking about what happened during the day, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Gu Xinning was in a daze, Nianse didn't know why, so she joked: "I just separated from the emperor for a while, and the empress misses the emperor?"

Gu Xinning glared at Nian Se angrily, and said displeasedly: "Who has the time to miss him, I'm thinking about those robbers today."

Nian Se pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah! It turns out that the empress likes robbers, it's over."

Gu Xinning stared at Nianse and said: "Smelly girl, I think you don't want to live anymore."

Nian Se hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, Nian Se will stop laughing at your majesty, what does your majesty think those robbers are doing?"

Gu Xinning frowned, thought for a while and said, "I think those robbers seem to be after me."

Nian Se heard the words, not being naughty, and said seriously: "Is what my sister said true? Who would want to attack my sister?"

Gu Xinning shook her head and said, "It's not certain who it is, but if the robbers are real murderers, why do they only put drugs on their crossbows instead of poison? I think someone knows Ye Junyan's martial arts skills, so we have to charm him first." , to deal with me and not hurt Ye Junyan."

Nian Se said bitterly: "It must be the Empress Dowager, she doesn't want the empress to return to the palace alive."

Gu Xinning said: "He may have come up with the idea, but someone else should be doing it. There may be other dangers along the way. We have to be more careful."

In a mountain depression, there are more than a dozen tents scattered. In one of the largest tents, several people are discussing something, only one of them said: "I almost got it today, but suddenly Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. The more people they have, the more difficult it will be for them.”

Another person said: "If it's difficult to do it, you have to do it, otherwise, in front of the prime minister, you and I will not be able to explain."

Another person said: "Now they have a large number of people, why don't we ask the prime minister to send someone to support them."

The first person who spoke before shook his head and said: "No, if you ask for support just after contacting the other party, the prime minister will think that we are incompetent, so let's think of other ways."

At this time, a man who hadn't spoken all this time snapped a thin wooden branch in his hand into two pieces with a snap, and said, "Then use poison, it's easy to dodge a sharp spear, but hard to defend against a hidden arrow."

A man next to him glared at him and said, "What if the emperor is poisoned to death, you will die!"

The man who spoke before said again: "Then use the drug, and then everyone will be killed except the emperor." The man made a movement of wiping his neck while talking.

Several people thought about it, and there was no other better way, so they could only nod their heads in agreement after being silent for a while.

In the early morning, Nian Se fetched a basin of water to wash up Gu Xinning. Gu Xinning noticed something strange in the water and asked, "Where did this water come from?"

Nian Se said: "It's the well in the yard, does the empress think there is something wrong with the water?"

Gu Xinning nodded and said, "Someone drugged the water."

Nian Se was surprised and said, "Ah, then I'll inform the others immediately." She turned around and prepared to tell everyone.

But Gu Xinning grabbed her and said, "Once you go, Ye Junyan will definitely have doubts about us."

Nian Se frowned, and said anxiously: "Then what to do, they are already boiling water for cooking, if everyone is drugged, it will be troublesome."

Gu Xinning pondered for a while and said, "After I drink water and pass out, you go and inform everyone." Gu Xinning scooped up a glass of water from the water glass on the table and brought it to her mouth.

Nian Se quickly grabbed Gu Xinning and said, "Your Majesty, let me drink it. Your Majesty needs to stay awake to prevent other plots." After Nian Se said, before Gu Xinning could refuse, she took the water glass from Gu Xinning's hand and poured it into the cup. After drinking all the water, Nian Se fell into a drowsy sleep in less than a moment.

Gu Xinning sighed silly girl, then hurried outside the house to find Ye Jinfeng and said, "It's not good, something happened to my maidservant."

Ye Jinfeng was taken aback when he heard the words. After learning that Nian Se suddenly fainted for some reason, he followed Gu Xinning to the room. After checking Nian Se's situation, Ye Jinfeng asked Gu Xinning: "Don't worry, Concubine Ning, Nian Se is just drugged, nothing serious."

Gu Xinning said suspiciously: "Drugs? How could there be drugs? Why am I fine?"

After hearing Gu Xinning's questioning, Ye Jinfeng couldn't help but frowned, and asked hesitantly: "Dare to ask Concubine Ning, what did Nianse eat this morning?"

Gu Xinning pretended to be thinking and said, "I didn't eat anything. Nianse didn't have the habit of eating in the morning, but just drank a glass of water."

Ye Jinfeng hurriedly asked, "Water?"

Gu Xinning nodded and said: "Well, it's water. Nianse woke up in the morning and said he was very thirsty, so I asked him to fetch some water from the well in the courtyard to drink."

Ye Jinfeng looked at the cup on the table, picked it up, sniffed it, licked it with the tip of his tongue, spit it out quickly, and said, "There is indeed something wrong with the water, it's not good!" Ye Jinfeng thought of the breakfast he just made, Hastily ran out.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, only the three or five people who cooked in advance had already eaten breakfast, and the rest of the people stopped eating after Ye Jinfeng rushed to the notice, and the three or five people who had eaten before passed out one after another, so everyone Throw away all the large rice.

After Ye Junyan heard about it, he said to Ye Jinfeng: "The medicine in the water is nothing more than to take advantage of the situation. It is better to use the plan and lure you into the urn. Maybe the culprit will be killed and the disaster will be eliminated."

Ye Jinfeng did as he said, and arranged the scene to make everyone pretend to be stunned, trying to lure the other party to show up.

However, after lying on the ground for a long time, even if they were really drugged, they should wake up.None of the enemies showed up, which made everyone who had thought it interesting couldn't help shouting disappointment, and also made Ye Junyan fall into deep thought.

Gu Xinning was also in deep thought, she also felt very strange, why didn't the enemy show up?Could it be that there was a flaw somewhere and was noticed by the other party?
Originally planned to hurry today, but in order to lure the enemy to show up, it was delayed for half a day, so I had no choice but to postpone it for a day and hurry tomorrow.

At night, when everything was silent, a sharp flute sound entered Gu Xinning's ears. The melody of this flute sound was different from ordinary Xiaoqu, and it was absolutely incomprehensible to most people, but Gu Xinning was not an ordinary person. To control a trained venomous snake.And now the tune is controlling the poisonous snake ready to attack people.

Gu Xinning jumped up from the bed quickly, and saw three thin snakes with blue skin patterns, and moved towards her while spitting out a message. This kind of snake looked extremely strange, it was more than two feet long, but its body was as thin as a girl's little finger.Even Nobuko is dark purple in color.Gu Xinning knew at a glance that this snake was extremely poisonous.

Gu Xinning quickly looked at Nian Se, saw that Nian Se was still asleep and was about to wake up, but saw that there was no poisonous snake about to attack Nian Se, Gu Xinning felt relieved and said inwardly: "Sure enough, it's only for me, depending on you, you can also think Hurt me, hum."

When Gu Xinning snorted, there was already a palm-sized jade bottle in her hand. Gu Xinning opened the bottle cap, and the mouth of the bottle was facing down. A transparent scorpion like an ice sculpture crawled out of the bottle. The whole scorpion was transparent. , even the viscera in the body can be clearly seen, except for the tip of one scorpion tail, emitting azure blue light. demonstration.

The transparent scorpion stopped Gu Xinning in an extremely arrogant posture as if he couldn't see the three poisonous snakes.Gu Xinning looked at the three poisonous snakes and reprimanded in a low voice: "You beast, don't back down!"

Nian Se heard the noise and woke up suddenly, but saw three strange-looking poisonous snakes confronting a big scorpion that looked like ice and snow, and Gu Xinning was fighting behind the scorpion.

Nian Se couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Majesty."

Nian Se still wanted to ask something, but suddenly she saw Gu Xinning seal her lips with her fingers and make a silent gesture.Nian Se immediately understood, remained motionless, and quietly looked at the scene in front of her.

The three poisonous snakes couldn't help twisting a few times when they heard Gu Xinning's scolding, and then heard Nian Se's voice, the three poisonous snakes couldn't help turning their heads to Nian Se at the same time, and then they were about to swim to Nian Se's bed, Gu Xinning felt a twitch in his heart In a hurry, he quickly ordered to the transparent scorpion: "Go."

As soon as the scorpion got the order, it rushed towards the direction of the three poisonous snakes like an arrow.

Seeing that the three poisonous snakes were about to approach Nianse's bed, the transparent scorpion jumped over and tapped one of the poisonous snakes lightly with the tip of its tail. The touched snake immediately rolled back and forth on the ground in pain, the other two Seeing this, the poisonous snake also gave up its plan to attack Nian Se, and quickly turned around and fled outside.

In a moment, the venomous snake, which was still rolling back and forth in pain on the ground, stopped. Its body gradually turned purple, and finally black, and then gradually melted, turning into a pile of black liquid, exuding an indescribable, disgusting smell. smell.

Nian Se was already covered in cold sweat. Although she was a martial arts practitioner and her martial arts were considered excellent, she had never seen such a treacherous and terrifying thing, and she couldn't help shivering.

Gu Xinning pointed the mouth of the jade bottle in the direction of the scorpion, and whistled softly, and the transparent scorpion immediately turned around when it heard the whistle, and got into the bottle in Gu Xinning's hand.

After closing the bottle cap, Gu Xinning put away the jade bottle, walked to Nianse's bed, put her arms around Nianse and comforted her: "Nianse is not afraid, it's fine, with my sister here, no poison can hurt us."

Nian Se nodded timidly and said, "Well, sister, what was that just now?"

Gu Xinning said: "Those snakes are strange poisonous snakes that can only grow long, but not thick. They are not owned by Middle Earth. They are very poisonous. Only by using something more poisonous than this snake can they be restrained."

Nian Se nodded and asked: "Then, what about the transparent scorpion, is it the thing that my sister said is more poisonous than those snakes?"

Gu Xinning also nodded and said: "Well, that is a kind of scorpion that grows in the deep caves of the ice region. It is the most poisonous thing in the world, much more powerful than those little snakes."

Nian Se really wanted to think of something suddenly and asked, "They are controlled by humans, and the target of the attack is actually my sister, right?"

Gu Xinning nodded and said, "Well, did you think of something?"

Nian Se frowned, hesitated for a moment and said: "Why can they know exactly the room the empress lives in, and also know which bed the empress sleeps in."

Gu Xinning thought for a while and said: "Yes, it is indeed doubtful. It seems that there must be spies in the team."

Nian Se nodded and said, "Well, should we tell the Emperor and them about this as soon as possible?"

Gu Xinning thought for a while and said: "Wait a minute, there is one more thing that is also very strange, why did the plan of asking you to enter the urn that Lord Baiye said fell through?"

Nian Se said: "Well, yes, the emperor's plan is very fast, and the execution is also fast. It stands to reason that it is impossible for people outside to notice the difference?"

Gu Xinning nodded and said: "That's right, someone inside should have tipped off the news. I already felt suspicious during the day, and I believe that Ye Junyan must have noticed something wrong, and he will definitely find a way to deal with it."
