The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 58
The reception banquet of the Jin family was grand and luxurious, and all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas were on the table.Qin Wan looked at the dishes on her table, and even suspected that she would not be able to eat so much if there were three more.Are rich people so extravagant and wasteful?Or is poverty limiting her imagination?
At the banquet, Jin Feng clings to Ning Yi, Jin Wenchao keeps toasting Ning Yi, Jin Yu feeds Xibao, only Qin Wan bows his head and eats fiercely.This seems to have become her habit of eating with Ning Yi, she only eats her own food, and everything else is nothing but floating clouds.

"Sister, why don't you eat shrimp?" Xi Bao asked Qin Wan next to him in a childish voice, chewing on a fried shrimp.

Qin Wan was asked by Xi Bao, looked down at the untouched dry fried shrimp on the table, and immediately understood what Xi Bao meant.She picked up the shrimps and put them in front of Xi Bao, said with a smile: "I can't eat shrimps, I will be allergic to them. If you like to eat them, I will give them to you."

"Sister, what is an allergy?" Xi Bao took the shrimp with both hands.

"Allergies are..." Qin Wan froze for a moment.She has been allergic to shrimp since she was a child, and after eating one, she would develop a rash all over her body. When it was severe, she even itched so much that she wanted to peel her own skin.She always has fretadine on hand, just because she is afraid of eating it by mistake.Traveling to this time and space, the people of Beirong and Yingyang City do not eat shrimp, so she has never seen shrimp at the banquet.But Liyang is a city near the water, where there are many fish and shrimps, and it is very common to eat shrimps.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, even if she changed her body, her resistance to shrimp was buried deep in her soul.

Xi Bao blinked his big eyes at Qin Wan.

But Qin Wan's thoughts are no longer here.

She suddenly thought, why did the old goldsmith's symptoms before his death resemble allergies?

"Sister?" Seeing her distracted, Xi Bao called out again.

Jin Yu said beside him: "Good boy, don't disturb Qin Fei."

"It's okay," Qin Wan explained to Xi Bao with a smile, "... Allergies are a kind of disease that causes little red spots on the body, which are very itchy."

Qin Wan barely touched the rest of the food at the banquet, she was thinking about her own thoughts.

If the old goldsmith died of allergies, it would explain why Wang Er had no symptoms of poisoning.

After the banquet, Qin Wan stayed temporarily in Xiyuan, the Jin family compound, accompanied by Liu Ying.Her mind was full of thoughts about the death of the goldsmith, and she didn't even go to appreciate the landscape display in the West Garden.

Yuan Ying hurriedly arrived at Xiyuan at this time: "Your Majesty, the letters from Young Master Lu and Military Master Bai have arrived at the same time."

Qin Wan quickly took the two letters in Yuan Ying's hands, opened them and read them. The conclusion was clear: "It's realgar... The inner wall and bottom of the two cups are made of realgar called golden stone. The golden pot is made of realgar." The craftsman used realgar as the base, and then plated it with a thin layer of gold. This craftsman's craftsmanship is so exquisite that neither we nor Boss Zhou found out, even the old goldsmith and Wang Er."

"Realgar? Isn't that something commonly used to drive away insects and evil spirits in summer?" Liu Ying asked doubtfully.

Qin Wan nodded: "But it's also an allergen."

Liu Ying tilted her head: "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Qin Wan had no choice but to explain the word "allergy" every time she said it, which was really troublesome.

She didn't explain to Liuying, but fell into deep thought:
Wang Er once mentioned that the old goldsmith had a cough. Now it seems that it is likely to be some kind of allergic asthma.During the smelting process, the base of the pot was destroyed, and then realgar was inhaled, causing allergies, and finally suffocated to death.If so, then the death of the old goldsmith was just an accident.

Is this really the case?
No, it can never be that simple.

Putting realgar in this golden pot and using such a covert method is very abnormal in itself.If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and there must be other problems that I haven't figured out.

Teapots are used to make tea. When hot water is poured into the pot, realgar may seep out of the thin coating on the bottom of the pot, and the bitterness of the tea leaves can mask the bitter taste of realgar.

If Qin Wan is not mistaken, the original intention of making this set of tea sets should be a set of slow killing tools.

Jin Yu wants to kill her?Qin Wan thought about it, but she and Jin Yu had no grievances, and Jin Yu would definitely not kill her because of Ning Yi.Even if Jin Yu can kill her, all kinds of women will appear in the future, can Jin Yu kill them all?This is obviously impossible.

Could it be that someone is going to kill Jin Yu? Yes, Jin Yu borrowed flowers to present the Buddha and gave her the pot by chance?

Thinking of this, Qin Wan didn't want to make a premature conclusion about Jin Yu.

Qin Wan put away the letter and asked Yuan Ying, "Did you tell the white army division? You can't let him tell Ning Yi about this."

Yuan Ying nodded: "Master Bai knows that this is a serious matter, so he promised to help us keep it a secret first. However, he will also secretly investigate this matter and exchange clues with us from time to time."

"Come on, let's go find Jin Yu. I have something I want to ask her face to face." Qin Wan put away the letter and walked out of the room.

Qin Wan and Liuying questioned the servants of the Jin family all the way, and walked along the corridor path to the main house of the Jin family.But before they stepped into the main house door, they heard sharp quarrels coming from inside.

"Sister, don't think that since you are the head of the Jin family, you can block me from approaching His Royal Highness King Ning. Let me tell you, when King Ning makes me a concubine, I will let you know how powerful I am!" Jin Feng's voice Like a parrot with its fur blown out, even if Qin Wan stood outside the door, his pierced eardrums roared.

"Jinfeng, as long as I'm still in this house for a day, you won't be able to get into the palace as a concubine!" Jin Yu reprimanded loudly.

"Sister, I don't know what you're thinking? You think His Royal Highness Prince Ning would want you in spite of your incomplete body, which has given birth to a child? If you are smarter, you should send me to the position early. Princess, our Jin family can really rely on the mountain of King Ning."

Jin Yu: "You're dreaming! No matter what I say, I won't let you succeed. This matter is not as simple as you think!"

"I'm dreaming?! Sister, you're obviously too selfish!" Jinfeng sneered, "You've ruined your own future since you were a child, and now you still want to interfere with my career as a princess. You underestimate our second wife too. !"

"Jinfeng, don't blame me for not warning you. King Ning is different from the gang of princes and brothers who surround you every day in Liyang City. Just because you scratch your head and put on a pose, you can't get into King Ning's eyes at all! Don't fail in the end. More than a failure!"

Jinfeng snorted coldly: "Hmph, King Ning is also a man, and a man likes a woman with all kinds of charm like me, not a broken shoe like your sister who looks noble on the outside and dirty inside!"

"You...!" It could be heard that Jin Yu was going crazy with anger at her outspoken sister.

Qin Wan wondered, didn't the Jin family believe that Jin Xibao was the son of King Ning before?Why Jinfeng can yell out the truth of this matter so brazenly.

However, it can be seen that Jin Yu's life in the Jin family is not easy, as the rumors say.

Seeing that Jin Yu was angry, Jin Feng said even more sarcastically: "Sister, you don't even look at your age, you have a son with you at the age of 25. Although His Royal Highness King Ning announced that Cheng Xibao is his son, no one in the world knows He is doing it for the money of the Jin family. But sister, you must have told His Highness that as long as he marries you as his concubine, he can get all the wealth of the Jin family? Hmph, believe it or not, if you dare to stop me from approaching King Ning, I will Just go and tell him that the Jin family has gold and jade on the outside, and there is no money inside, and it is even difficult to support the operation of the entire family! I don’t believe it, when His Royal Highness King Ning hears this, he can still talk to you one cent!"

"Jinfeng! Don't threaten me with this! The bankruptcy of the Jin family will do you no good!" Jin Yu roared angrily.

Jinfeng said coldly: "If you don't let me have a good time, I won't let you go either. Let's compete for favor and rely on our own abilities, otherwise we will die and the net will be broken, and no one will want to live a comfortable life!"

Qin Wan felt annoyed when she heard this, this Jinfeng spoke without restraint, yelling here, I don't know if it will end!

If she didn't finish, Qin Wan had to let her finish.

I saw Qin Wan rushing into the room with her legs raised, walked up to Jinfeng in three steps at a time, raised her hand without hesitation, and slapped Jinfeng on the face with a "slap", directly slapping her heartless The prepared golden phoenix fan fell to the ground.
