Chapter 68

Han Jing's premonition was very effective. Looking at the maid in front of him, Han Jing's eyes sank, but Tang Nuan gently touched his hand, smiled at the maid and said, "Okay, please wait a little longer Come on, I'm going to change clothes."

The court lady didn't notice the change in Han Jing's eyes. Even though she had seen Han Jing before, she still blushed every time she saw him and didn't dare to look any further. She couldn't help but lament Tang Nuan's good luck in marrying such a gentle and handsome husband. .

Tang Nuan glanced at Lan Ling, then turned around and walked into the inner room. Han Jing was by Tang Nuan's side, and Lan Ling smiled and said to the maid, "Sister, please go to the next room to have a cup of tea and rest. .”

The maid did not refuse either, and left with Lan Ling with a smile.

In the room, Han Jing's face darkened, and he said, "Be careful in everything."

Tang Nuan smiled and said, "I know, don't worry."

Han Jing sighed and didn't say anything else. Lan Le and Liu's mother waited on Tang Nuan to change her clothes, then sat in front of the dressing table and chose jewelry for Tang Nuan to wear.

The two moved very quickly. After all, it was not easy to keep Concubine Xi waiting. After a careful inspection, the two stepped aside. Tang Nuan got up and turned the bracelet on her wrist, and gently squeezed Han Jing's soft hand. Said loudly, "I'll be right back."

Han Jing nodded, and accompanied Tang Nuan to the door, the maid was already smiling, her attitude towards Tang Nuan was a little more respectful than before, Lan Le and Lan Ling followed Tang Nuan, the maid said , "This way, Princess Concubine, please."

Tang Nuan smiled and nodded, Han Jing sent the man to the gate of the courtyard, and Emperor Yan asked Han Jing to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, it is one thing to spend a leisurely life in the courtyard, but another to go out.

The palace maid led the way, and did not go back until Tang Nuan and the others could no longer be seen. The palace maid said with a smile, "My lord really loves my wife."

Tang Nuan pursed her lips and smiled shyly but said nothing. The maid sighed, "Mrs. Shizi is so lucky."

Lan Le said, "Sister, tell me about Concubine Xi. I haven't met Concubine Xi yet, so I'm afraid I'll offend you."

The maid whispered to Lan Le, that the maid was not stupid to be beside Concubine Xi, because of the death of several princes, in order to give everyone an explanation, Emperor Yan cleaned up all the maids and eunuchs around Concubine Xi After a while, this court lady came to Concubine Xi later.

If it is said that Concubine Xi can trust her so much that it is not enough, but it is her ability to stay.

When Tang Nuan arrived, Concubine Xi was already waiting in the garden. Since the death of the sixth prince, Concubine Xi had never worn colorful clothes. After Tang Nuan saluted, Concubine Xi said, "Get up, here Sit down." Although her tone was a bit cold, she didn't intend to embarrass Tang Nuan.

"Yes." Tang Nuan didn't say much, and sat obediently beside Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi poured a cup of tea for Tang Nuan herself and said, "I'm used to drinking scented tea, but I don't know if you can get used to it."

In fact, because Concubine Xi is using a crystal cup here, there is a rose flower floating on the light red tea, which looks very beautiful.

Tang Nuan took it with both hands and said thanks, "I can do it."

Concubine Xi smiled and didn't touch the scented tea, but said, "I've always wanted to see you."

Tang Nuan held the crystal cup in both hands, as if she liked it very much and was reluctant to drink it, she blushed when she heard this, and said, "I'm afraid of disturbing your mother's rest."

Both Concubine Xi and Tang Nuan knew it was a lie, but telling the truth was often not tolerated in this palace.

Concubine Xi lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Why don't you drink it, do you not like it or... think I will poison you?"

Tang Nuan's eyes widened as if frightened, Concubine Xi looked at Tang Nuan's appearance and laughed, "En?"

"Your Majesty, you were joking." Tang Nuan also laughed, her eyes were extremely cute, and she put down the cup in her hand. Even though she said that, Tang Nuan still didn't touch the tea. Before she got married, her grandmother said, let her Be careful with Concubine Xi, the deaths of the princes must have something to do with Concubine Xi, so Emperor Yan didn't punish Concubine Xi, fearing that he would raise Concubine Xi's heart, no one would do what a lunatic would do Clear, so I would rather offend Concubine Xi than touch the food that Concubine Xi gave.

Concubine Xi waved her hand, and saw the maid came forward to take away all the tea and snacks, and the smile on Concubine Xi's face also disappeared, she looked a little more fierce, staring at Tang Nuan for a long time, Tang Nuan's face was pale. Bian, also quietly looked at Concubine Xi, Concubine Xi suddenly said, "Oh, that's true, why don't you pretend?"

There was a bit of confusion in Tang Nuan's eyes, "I don't know what the empress is talking about." Some words are thrown out of the mouth.

Concubine Xi looked at the people waiting around, and those people all retreated. Concubine Xi finally looked at Lan Le and Lan Ling, but Lan Le and Lan Ling did not move. Tang Nuan also said that she wanted them to leave, Concubine Xi said , "It is faithful."

Tang Nuan pursed her lips and did not speak. Concubine Xi said, "I am afraid that the person who abolished the crown prince has already invited the crown prince of Yong'an County. Do you think he will go?"

The abandoned prince... Tang Nuan's heart trembled, why did the abandoned prince invite Han Jing, and why did Concubine Xi know this.

Concubine Xi's voice was softer, as if she couldn't hear it clearly if she didn't pay attention, "How many people do you think will fall for the deposed prince using the power in his hands as bait?"

"I don't know." Tang Nuan said.

Concubine Xi's eyes darkened, and she asked, "Then do you think His Majesty is really willing to let the throne go?"

Tang Nuan just felt that her breathing stopped. What does Concubine Xi mean, and what does Emperor Yan mean? If he is not willing to lose the throne, the crown prince will be deposed, and Han Jing and the others will be invited into the palace, what else can they do?
Concubine Xi's face was very pale, almost transparent. Although her face was expressionless, Tang Nuan felt an indescribable heaviness and... madness.

"Do you know that the abandoned prince has a concubine who is pregnant, and a court lady who is also pregnant?" Concubine Xi looked at Tang Nuan's eyes, as if she was happy to see Tang Nuan's expression changed, "Then you know Where are those two women now?"

Tang Nuan said, "This is a good thing."

Concubine Xi sneered, "You're real, I've been pretending for decades...you can't fool me."

Tang Nuan still didn't speak, Concubine Xi said, "It's the most stupid thing to pin all your hopes on a man."

In fact, Tang Nuan felt that Concubine Xi was very strange, and even seemed a little abnormal, but it was unknown whether the matter of the two pregnant women was true or not. More importantly, if the deposed prince had already had a concubine who was pregnant, would he still be pregnant? What did you invite Han Jing to do? Did he only invite Han Jing or everyone? The maid was pregnant...

Concubine Xi quickly calmed down, and continued, "How many people do you think will bite this bait? Will they believe the deposed prince?"

When mentioning the abolition of the crown prince, Tang Nuan felt the hatred in Concubine Xi's mouth. Concubine Xi said, "Han Yan has gone, and Han Jin has gone too."

"Don't you believe it?" Concubine Xi asked looking at Tang Nuan's expression.

Concubine Xi continued to ask, "Do you think why the deposed prince would do such things even though he has heirs?"

Tang Nuan felt that she didn't need to speak at all, and Concubine Xi had already finished speaking. Tang Nuan was waiting for Concubine Xi to continue, but found that Concubine Xi had shut her mouth, and instead looked at the flowers and plants beside her.

Not long after, a court lady came in, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Cheng have arrived."

"Ask them to come in." Concubine Xi said, "Prepare a pot of scented tea and a cup of warm water."

Soon Qian and Cheng came in, and Tang Nuan got up to greet her. Both Qian and Cheng were a little surprised to see Tang Nuan here, but they first greeted Concubine Xi before saying hello. Concubine Xi let Qian Sitting down with Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng, the maid had already brought scented tea up. Concubine Xi brought scented tea to Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Cheng with her own hands as before, and poured another cup for herself. However, only warm water was placed in front of Tang Nuan. He Cheng was a little surprised, but Concubine Xi didn't mean to explain, she just said, "Taste this scented tea, I picked it by myself and dried it." She took a small sip while speaking.

Tang Nuan was surprised, maybe she was suspicious just now.

Qian and Cheng didn't dare to be like Tang Nuan just now. They knew the purpose of her husband coming to the palace, and this purpose could not do without the help of Concubine Xi. After all, Concubine Xi kept talking in front of Emperor Yan.

Both of them picked it up and took a sip, and Qian directly drank it down and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't laugh at me, it's the first time I've had such a delicious scented tea."

"Drink some more if you like it." Concubine Xi's attitude was exceptionally gentle.

Mrs. Qian poured another cup and drank it, poured it again and drank it slowly this time, Mrs. Cheng also finished a cup of scented tea, without the need for a maid, she refilled the teacup by herself, while Concubine Xi only drank half a cup before drinking. Putting it down, Tang Nuan still didn't move, Qian Shi said something joking, Concubine Xi suddenly interrupted Qian Shi's words and asked, "Your husband has already gone to see the deposed prince."

As soon as these words came out, Qian's face changed, and Cheng's became a little more unnatural. The two of them first looked at each other and then at Tang Nuan. Concubine Xi smiled and said, "It seems that the two of you are not acting so close." Both Qian and Cheng were obviously hiding from each other.

Just as Qian Shi was about to speak, her face suddenly changed and she lay on the table with her stomach covered. Tang Nuan looked at Cheng Shi in surprise. Wiping the blood from the corners of their mouths, Lan Le and Lan Ling hurried forward to protect Tang Nuan. When Qian Shi and Cheng Shi came in, they didn't bring maids with them for some reason. There is no one else.

Qian shrieked, "You poisoned..."

Cheng got up and was about to run outside, Concubine Xi ignored Tang Nuan and said, "You are very smart...then what are you going to do now?"

Tang Nuan said in a deep voice, "Lan Le go call someone."

Lan Le was already panicking, Tang Nuan gritted her teeth and picked up the teapot directly, poured scented tea into the cup in front of her, and then drank the clear water mixed with scented tea in one gulp, Lan Ling exclaimed, Lan Le was at the gate of the yard Being stopped by someone, Mrs. Qian rushed forward to grab Concubine Xi for the antidote, Mrs. Cheng kept calling for help, the garden was in chaos for a while, and the laughter and laughter just now were gone.

Tang Nuan said, "Help me and run outside."

At this moment, Lan Ling's heart was in a mess. Hearing Tang Nuan's words, she helped her to run outside. Qian Shi kept vomiting blood, and her body twitched. Struggling constantly, although Concubine Xi was the weakest, she was in the best condition because she drank less scented tea and didn't move, "The more you move, the faster you will develop poison." This was said to Tang Nuan.

"Girl..." Lan Ling didn't dare to move.

Tang Nuan said, "Continue." She already felt the pain in her stomach, but she had to move. She drank later than these people. If the person who came here for the scapegoat can't survive... Tang Nuan doesn't want to think about it, she just wants to not hurt her family and Han Jing, Concubine Xi is really a lunatic.
