The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 132 Aconitum Powder

That night, Qiuxiang did not come back.

Ye Zhaoqing didn't even ask a question, just sighed lightly, and then did it himself, boiling a pot of hot water to make tea for himself.

A little later, the people in the imperial dining room brought food. Compared with when Qiuxiang was here, the food was sold at 01:30.

Not to mention the cold food, it was sour and smelly.

Ye Zhaoqing fell down after only one glance.

She has no habit of eating bad food.

She thought, she couldn't stay in this dilapidated yard for a few days.

Ye Zhaoqing sat in the yard under the moonlight, looking up at the stars in the sky.

"Are you really optimistic?" But at this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Ye Zhaoqing turned his head and saw the direction of the entrance of the courtyard. A large number of court eunuchs and eunuchs had poured in at some point, and they walked in slowly, surrounded by a young girl in a red dress and court attire.

That girl's face was beautiful, with a faint smile hanging from the corner of her mouth, who else could it be if it wasn't Murong Yan?Under the moonlight, her eyes were astonishingly bright, even the stars in the sky seemed to be overshadowed.

How could the appearance of a woman who has two superb elder brothers, Murong Shen and Murong Jin, be so different?

Ye Zhao knew she would come early in the morning, but she didn't get up and go back to the room immediately when she saw it. It was not her way to escape.

"You're here." Just a simple sentence, without politeness or formality, there is, just this simple greeting.

Before Murong Yan could answer, a court lady standing beside her took a step forward and scolded: "Bold! Hurry up and salute when you see the Crown Princess!"

In the past, Murong Yan wanted to salute Ye Zhaoqing when she saw Ye Zhaoqing, but now, Ye Zhaoqing was scolded to salute Murong Yan.

All right, see the big gift from the crown princess.

It's just that the roles have already been reversed.

For the behavior of the palace lady, Murong Yan did not stop or appreciate it, she just raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Ye Zhaoqing provocatively, waiting to see how she would react.

"Miss Murong, it seems that you haven't married His Highness the Crown Prince yet?" Facing the court lady's domineering, Ye Zhaoqing was still very calm.

This tranquility annoyed Murong Yan. If Ye Zhaoqing cried bitterly, or even hated her to the bone, Murong Yan would be happy on the contrary, but now, Ye Zhaoqing showed that he didn't care about everything, which finally annoyed her!
"Ye Zhaoqing, you are no longer the princess concubine, but a prisoner! What right do you have to talk about me here?" Murong Yan said sharply.

Ye Zhaoqing smiled mockingly when he heard the words: "Prisoner? You seem to have made a mistake? Haven't you already found out? The poison on His Royal Highness has nothing to do with me in the first place!"

"So what? At least in the heart of the empress, you are the chief culprit who harmed the prince!" Murong Yan sneered.

Ye Zhaoqing looked up at her, and said in a calm tone: "Murongyan, there is no one else here now, do you dare to say that the prince's poisoning has nothing to do with you? Guining that day, you deliberately led me to the rockery, deliberately let me find out That golden thread grass is just for killing me, isn't it?"

"You really like to treat a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart!" Murong Yan sneered after hearing this, "Why do you say that? What kind of golden thread grass, don't frame others here!"

"I was careless. At that time, I was only thinking about saving the crown prince, but I didn't expect that you would use a medicinal herb to guess that the crown prince's body was extremely poisonous..." Ye Zhaoqing said with a wry smile: "You want to be the crown prince so much. Concubine, naturally I will not just watch me cure His Highness the Crown Prince. In that case, I, the Crown Princess, will never be hated by Concubine Rong Gui, so you poisoned the Crown Prince in Fengyang Tower, right? At that time, you were with your second elder brother Murong Jin, but you got rid of him and deliberately approached the prince, right?"

Speaking of this, what came to Ye Zhaoqing's mind was the scene of Li Yu and Murong Yan walking in from the outside together on the day of Fengyang Tower!

"What nonsense!" Murong Yan raised her head when she heard this, sneered at Ye Zhaoqing and said, "Make it up, keep making it up, I'd like to see how you put this pot of dirty water on Bengong!" "As she said, she took a step forward, moved closer to Ye Zhaoqing, and said word by word: "Whatever you say is true? No one believes what you say!"

Ye Zhaoqing smiled slightly when he heard the words, but did not answer.

"Speak! Go on, I want to see what else you can come up with!" Murong Yan urged, her eyes full of excitement, as if the more Ye Zhaoqing hated her, the happier she would be.

Ye Zhaoqing was silent.

Murong Yan's expression turned cold in an instant, she turned her head and winked at the maid who had just spoken to reprimand Ye Zhaoqing.

"The princess is asking you something! Are you deaf?" The court lady got the order and rushed towards Ye Zhaoqing. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "It seems that you want someone to loosen your bones for you." It's too comfortable to be a princess, you forget how many catties you have, don't you?"

When her hand was still an inch away from Ye Zhaoqing, Ye Zhaoqing said: "Murong Yan, whether you admit to being poisoned or not, I want to tell you that the impact of this matter on the prince is beyond your control. imagination!"

After hearing this, Murong Yan rolled her eyes, gave the maid a wink, ordered her to back down, and then sneered: "You are scaremongering again, all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital said that the crown prince is fine, do you think I will Do you believe what you say?"

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not." Ye Zhaoqing said calmly, "I hope you won't regret it when the time comes."

"Of course I won't regret it!" Murong Yan sneered.

After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help but glanced at her, and finally couldn't help but said: "Murong Yan, I can understand that you want to be the crown prince, but you gave the crown prince such a deadly poison to achieve your own purpose. I can't understand, if the prince is dead, what's the point of being the princess?"

"You, what do you mean?" When Murong Yan heard this, her pupils shrank suddenly, and then she became furious: "Ye Zhaoqing! You used such malicious thoughts to speculate on me in order to defend yourself! I love you so much!" Brother Prince, how could you kill him with your own hands!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and all the palace officials and eunuchs who followed in retreated completely, and she was the only one left in the room.

"But the poison you gave almost killed him." Ye Zhaoqing said.

"Impossible!" Murong Yan was completely angry, she stepped forward suddenly, pushed Ye Zhaoqing to the ground fiercely, and said angrily: "I just poured aconite powder, it won't kill anyone!"

"Aconite? Where did you get the poison?" Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes and looked at Murong Yan quietly, with a puzzled expression.

Murong Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then she realized what she said so quickly, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes instantly shot a look of resentment, she stared at Ye Zhaoqing coldly, as if she was looking at a dead person: "You know So what? Ye Zhaoqing, you are not far from death! No one will believe your words!"

"I just hope you don't regret it." Ye Zhaoqing was shocked by the anger in Murong Yan's eyes. She really didn't expect that Murong Yan, a girl who looked innocent and beautiful at first glance, would be such a cruel and merciless girl. man of.

"Ye Zhaoqing, you wait, I'll report to the imperial concubine right now, you won't live until tomorrow's sunrise." Murong Yan giggled, clapped her hands at Ye Zhaoqing, then turned around and walked out.

But the moment she turned around, the blood in her body froze.

I saw a person standing quietly at the gate of the yard, with his hands behind his back, he looked like he was walking in the courtyard, but his face was stern, his eyes were cold, and his handsome appearance was unmatched by anyone.

"Big brother?" Murong Yan's voice was trembling: "When did you come?"

Murong Shen looked at her coldly, didn't answer, but said to his back: "Now do you believe it?"

Anyone else?

Murong Yan's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Hurry up!" Seeing that there was no movement behind him, Murong Shen said impatiently.

The next moment, a person stumbled in from the outside, with a pale face: "Brother..."

"Second brother..." Murong Yan stared blankly at the other person who walked in, her expression was a little dull, but she was inexplicably relieved.

They are all her own brothers, and there are no outsiders, so it is much easier to handle.

"How many times have I told you, but you still refuse to believe that she is no longer the innocent and kind-hearted Yan'er!" Murong Shen said, walking towards the yard step by step.

Murong Jin was taken aback, and quickly followed up and said, "Brother! Calm down! Younger sister may have some difficulties!"

"Why?" Murong Shen turned his head sharply, looked at Murong Jin with sharp eyes and said, "In order to achieve her own goal, she poisoned the prince by all means! She admitted it herself! She has What are your reasons?"

Murong Jin anxiously said: "Brother, I'm not defending Yan'er, she has done so many bad things, so naturally I will let you deal with her, I just hope you don't be too impulsive, this is the imperial palace, if things get serious, it's not right for us No good!"

"It's this time, and you still only think about yourself?" Murong Shen sneered instantly after hearing this: "It's a shame that the crown prince treats you as a life-and-death friend! Is that how you treat him?"

When Murong Jin heard this, his face suddenly felt ashamed. He lowered his head and said timidly: "Brother, but Yan'er, after all, she is our little sister! You can't, you can't treat her like this..."

"All of this is her own fault!" After hearing this, Murong Shen withdrew his eyes and said expressionlessly, "There is no such person in our Murong family who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals!" After saying this, he left Murong Jin and strode towards the yard walk in.

"Brother!" Murong Jin had no choice but to follow in, he had to be on guard, in case Murong Shen planned to punch Murong Yan to death, he could also save him.

No matter what, as an older brother, he couldn't just watch his little sister die in front of him.

"Brother!" Just as Murong Shen walked in front of Murong Yan, Murong Jin took a fierce step forward, stopped in front of Murong Yan, and said nervously, "Brother, what do you want to do?"

"Get out of the way!" Murong Shen said coldly with a dark face.

"Don't let me!" Murong Jin stood stubbornly on the spot, pleading all over his face: "Brother, can't you speak well if you have something to say??"

"What do you think I have to say to her!" Murong Shen stretched out his hand and pushed Murong Jin: "Get out of the way!"

"Miss Ye!" Murong Jin became anxious, and suddenly turned her head to Ye Zhaoqing, who was watching the play, and begged, "My elder brother did this for you, can't you persuade him?"

"Shut up! You bastard!" The next moment, Murong Shen flew into a rage, suddenly raised his hand and gave Murong Jin a slap in the face!

With a sound of "Pa!", there were five bright red finger marks on the left half of Murong Jin's fair face.

"Big, big brother?" Murong Jin, who had been beaten countless times since childhood, but had never been slapped in the face by Murong Shen, was stunned, looking in disbelief at the big brother whom he had been in awe of since childhood, his face was full of shock.

Murong Shen looked away, and said expressionlessly: "This is our family's business, what are you doing involving an outsider? Miss Ye has already suffered so much, and you just said that, don't you feel ashamed? "

"Second brother, did he say something wrong?" Before Murong Jin could answer, Murong Yan, who was protected by him, suddenly said, "Brother, you want to punish me so much, isn't it because of her?"

As she said that, she stretched out her finger, pointed at Ye Zhaoqing, and said viciously: "Just because of this woman, you don't even want your own sister!"

"Enough!" Murong Shen suddenly became furious, stretched out his hand and pushed Murong Jin away, grabbed Murong Yan and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the Emperor and explain this matter clearly!"

"I won't go!" Murong Yan shook her head violently, of course she knew what it meant to admit her mistake in front of the emperor!
"Aren't you going? Good!" Murong Shen said, he raised his palm and wanted to cut the back of Murong Yan's neck!
No matter what happens today, even if he dies, he will bring Murong Yan before the emperor!
"Stop!" But at this moment, Ye Zhaoqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Murong Shen was taken aback for a moment, then slowly turned his head to look at Ye Zhaoqing, and said with a straight face, "Miss Ye, what else do you want?"

Ye Zhaoqing didn't answer, but walked over step by step, and took a careful look at Murong Yan.

"You lied just now. The poison the crown prince was poisoned was not aconite powder, but other strong poisons."

After hearing this, Murong Yan's eyes suddenly lit up: "That is to say, I did not inflict the poison on the prince's brother! It has nothing to do with me!" Saying this, she suddenly turned her head and gave Murong Shen a proud look. Said: "Brother, do you want to take me to find His Majesty now?"

Murong Shen didn't answer, but stared at Ye Zhaoqing deeply: "Miss Ye, it seems that you haven't finished your sentence yet."

"Yes." Ye Zhaoqing nodded, took another look at Murong Yan who was already excited, and said calmly, "Although the poison is not aconitum powder, it is indeed you who gave it to His Highness."

When Murong Yan heard this, the smile on her face froze for an instant, and then she was furious: "Ye Zhaoqing! What do you mean!" Because she was too angry, her chest heaved violently.

"Don't understand, right?" Ye Zhaoqing glanced at her calmly, and his tone was still flat: "Then let me explain it for you.
