Yijuan cloud

Chapter 20 Poisoned

With a "clang" sound, the sword was sheathed.

There seemed to be a sarcastic smile on his lips, his eyes were filled with care as he hung the sword back on the wall, and turned around as if nothing had happened.

My heart was still beating rapidly, and I watched him squat in front of me with lingering fear.

He doesn't look bad, but he has an imposing manner. Several years of military service and many battles have given him a rough and cold face. At this time, he was staring at me with bright eyes.

I held my breath and didn't dare to move. I felt like I was going back to the torturous experience I had a long time ago when a wild dog approached me with bared teeth.

I was 11 years old at the time. The tenant of my family brought a freshly slaughtered goat, and the kitchen cooked a large pot of meat. When Xing'er and I sneaked out to listen to a play, we brought a bag of mutton with us. Who would have known that not long after we left home? , I met a wild dog in the alley. It probably smelled it and ran towards me and Xing'er barking.

Xing'er was only nine years old and timid, so he ran away. I also ran, but accidentally fell down. I watched the dog snort and huff and come closer, and I was scared to death. At least it was Xing'er who ran back again. , threw the bag of mutton in his hand on the ground, and then lured the dog away.

"Do you still know how to be afraid?" The face in front of him suddenly broke out into a smile, and his voice was light and cheerful.

I was stunned and realized immediately that he was teasing me!

In shock and anger, he pushed him and he squatted down. He was caught off guard and staggered. Soon another carp stood up.

I also stood up from the ground and thought about what had just happened. Then I realized I regretted it. I was always afraid that Cao Yingshan would do something inappropriate because of Fan Li. Why was I so reckless?
Cao Yingshan is already married, and she is married to a prince. How can she have anything to do with her foreign husband?

After thinking about it clearly, I don't blame him for his sudden threats.

But the person was still in shock, as if he had escaped from death. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad for a moment, and he was at a loss. After being stunned for a while, he said: "I was wrong, just think that I am talking nonsense... and say goodbye." "

When I turned to leave, he jumped in front of me in the blink of an eye, lowered his head and came closer to me and said, "Why are you still crying? Are you really scared?"

I took a step back, turned my face away, and said coldly: "No."

"You said no, and your eyes were red." He sighed, "I thought you were so brave, but you turned out to be a paper tiger."

"My slave has other things to do, so I'll take my leave first." I bent my knees and went straight away.

He stretched out his arm and blocked my way, "Are you really angry? It was my fault. I apologize to you, okay?"

I was still ashamed of my words and deeds, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Fan said something serious. The reason is that this servant made the mistake first. You should teach me a lesson."

"I'm still angry. You come here happily and come back angry. How can this be okay?"

I was surprised and sighed secretly. I didn't expect that he looked cold and lonely, but he could have such an innocent and stubborn side. The shadow of being frightened by him quickly disappeared, leaving only caution in words and deeds, so I pretended to be relaxed and said: "You I’m worrying too much, I’m not angry, and there’s no fire in my heart, so please give way, okay?”

"Then you raise your head, look at me and say you are not angry."

I was speechless secretly, looked at him angrily, and said, "I'm not angry, slave! Is that all right?"

He stared at my face for a while, nodded and said, "Yeah."

After leaving the inn, I sat in the car on the way to Cao Mansion. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. The more I thought about it, the more I thought Fan Li was childish and ridiculous.

I thought to myself, it's a good thing that Cao Yingshan didn't marry him. Otherwise, if he found out his true identity in the future, how would he live this life?

After finishing the errands, it was almost lunch time when we returned to the palace.

I was also very hungry and was thinking about eating. As I was about to reach our yard, I felt that the palace was too deserted today.

There was no sign of the maid guarding the second door, not even the girl sweeping the floor or looking after the yard, nor the maid.

I walked a few steps and as soon as I reached the entrance of the courtyard, I saw maids and servants standing in a courtyard, as if all the slaves in the palace were here.

In the corridor, Prince Yi stood tall and tall like a bamboo or a pine. His calm and indifferent expression was filled with coldness and majesty, and he stared at the people below with deep eyes.But Huixin actually stood in front of everyone, her eyes roving back and forth on everyone's faces, as if she was looking for someone, or recognizing someone?
This is Cao Yingshan's courtyard, and it is also my residence in the palace. There is no reason for me to not enter when I reach the door, so I walked over and stood silently aside.

Huixin looked over at me, and when I saw her appearance clearly, I couldn't help but be shocked. I saw her eyes were red and swollen, with tears in her eyes, and she was in a state of despair, as if something serious had happened.

But the whole place was silent and the atmosphere was solemn. I was so anxious that I couldn't ask.

"Do you recognize it?" Prince Yi's voice was stern.

Huixin turned around and knelt on the ground, choking and said: "The slave was changing the master's clothes at that time. She looked up and saw a maid in pink came in and said it was ice porridge sent by the princess. Before I could pick it up, she She put the bowl on the table and left, and the master said something about why she was so rude, really..."

At this point, Huixin suddenly realized something was wrong and stopped saying anything else.

At this time, a person hurriedly walked out of the house, and Prince Yi hurriedly greeted him: "Is he awake? Is he really poisoned?"

The man glanced at the corridor and said to the prince, "Sir, it doesn't matter if you say so."

The man then said: "From the remaining ice porridge, the juice of Elephanttum was detected. If you accidentally take the Elephantia, you will have symptoms of abdominal pain, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. This is consistent with the symptoms of Princess Side. It can be concluded that you accidentally consumed the Elephantia. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and Princess Side was given shepherd's purse, and her life is no longer in danger."

Cao Yingshan was poisoned!

After hearing what the doctor said, I hurriedly ran up the steps, saluted King Yi, and said anxiously: "Please allow your servants to come in and serve you."

He had a sullen face and did not look at me. He only raised his hand and I ran into the house quickly.

Behind me, I heard him sternly saying: "I can't see the face clearly, but the voice must be recognized, right? Let each of them tell you something."

Cao Yingshan was lying on the bed with a bleak face. I called her, but she only moved her eyes. The maid beside her said, "Master Cao doesn't have the energy to speak yet."

I held Cao Yingshan's hand and lowered my voice and asked the little maid, "What's going on?"

Just as the little maid was about to speak, she suddenly stood up and saluted and called "Your Majesty." I turned around and saw that the Prince was coming, and I also saluted quickly.

He sat down by the bed and said solemnly: "The doctor saved his life. You must do your best to take care of him and take the medicine on time."

The little maid and I hurriedly responded: "Yes."

At this time, an anxious voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty!"

Soon, the bead curtain opened, and two servants walked in carrying a soft sedan.

Princess Xu of Yi sat with a look of fear. After the sedan stopped, she was helped down by the servant woman. She pushed the servant woman away again and hopped on one foot to find Prince Yi. Prince Yi quickly got up to greet her and helped her sit on the chair. Down.

Mrs. Xu held the prince's arm tightly, raised her head and said anxiously: "Your Majesty Mingjian, it's not the ice porridge that I sent someone to deliver. Even if I am confused and confused, I will never be able to do such a thing. I But I swear to the sky, if I have the slightest thought, I will die immediately!..."

Before he finished speaking, the prince raised his hand and stroked her bun, and said: "Madam, why are you doing this? I believe you. No one will take the words of a sneaky servant seriously. Madam, don't worry, I will find out clearly."

"Your Majesty." Xu choked up as she spoke, with hot tears rolling down her face. She took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes, saying, "I will... find that person and restore my innocence."

While they were talking, Huixin came over, knelt on the ground, and cried, "I really can't recognize you."

Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and said, "Did you see it clearly? There are all the slaves in the courtyard, and you said you didn't recognize them. You were the only one with your master. What was the situation at that time? You can tell me clearly!"

Huixin cried: "A sister came in and said it was the ice porridge you sent, madam..."

"Shut up!" Prince Yi interrupted sternly and said, "Even if you are your master's dowry girl, you will still be punished if you don't do your job to the best of your ability. Someone, tie her up and let her be examined clearly later!"
