The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 206 Silver Needle
The little goldfish was eating happily, but the people around were holding their breath and staring at it nervously.

Suddenly the room was silent, so quiet that one could hear the cold wind blowing outside.Five pairs of eyes fixed on the little fish, swam from left to right, and then turned back from right to the soup basin wall...

I don't know how long it has passed, Yanhua only felt that her eyes were sore, and the little fish was still swimming happily.She frowned suspiciously and said, "Huh? Does this poison take place so slowly? Huaying, go out and get another one."

She glanced back at the pot of red bean cake, and asked Lingxi to pull a small piece off with chopsticks.After Huaying caught another little yellow goldfish, Yanhua asked Lingxi to throw that small piece of red bean cake to the little yellow fish's mouth.The little fish wagged its tail lazily. After realizing that the room was very warm, it started to swim wagging its tail.After it found the piece of red bean cake, it hurriedly opened its mouth wide and started to eat. It didn't take long before it ate all the small piece of red bean cake.

Everyone held their breath and watched quietly for a while, until Huaying suddenly couldn't hold back and yawned, Yanhua let out a long sigh of relief: "Sister, there must be something wrong with it, you look at the two It’s a little fish, it’s fine after eating and drinking, but now it’s swimming more happily.”

Geng Shi nodded hesitantly: "I don't know what's wrong, but the silver needle inserted inside has obviously turned black?"

Yanhua frowned and pondered for a while, then slapped her forehead for the last time: "Ah, I forgot, I haven't checked my house yet. You guys go check it soon, and see if there are any problems."

Huaying and Lingxi were stunned, paused, and hurried back to the opposite room to test one by one.

"Xianyun, put away this pot of red bean cake and that half bowl of sweet soup, and ask Dr. Liu to come over some other day to see what's wrong." Seeing that both Geng and Xianyun were still in a daze, Yanhua said, He hurriedly raised his hand and shook it in front of their eyes.

Seeing Yanhua's "nothing to do with yourself" look on Yanhua's face, Xianyun was a little annoyed, and muttered, "It's not Ge Ge who ate these things, of course Ge Ge is not in a hurry."

Geng stared at Xianyun reproachfully: "Xianyun, what are you talking about? Isn't my sister also thinking of something? Besides, we may not be poisoned, if we are, we can still stand here and talk Is it? Are you uncomfortable?"

At first, Xianyun thought that there was nothing wrong with it, but just now she saw that Yinzhen had turned black, and now she heard Geng's question, she immediately closed her mouth and felt the state of her whole body.This calculation really went wrong. She suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, such as soreness in her shoulders and back, her heart was beating so hard that she was panting faster than usual, her forehead seemed to hurt slightly, and her calves seemed to be hurting. limp...

Seeing that her expression was not right, Geng asked her to sit down and talk.

Xianyun panicked, and no longer cared about etiquette, she hurriedly sat down on a nearby chair, her voice trembling: "Gege, there is a small package hidden in the servant's shop, and there are some broken silver in it, which is saved by the servant." Yes, if something happens to the servant, please ask Gege to ask Wei Changan to help send the money to my parents..."

As she spoke, tears rolled down her eyes, as if she was about to leave immediately.

Geng's nose was sore, and there was a choked sound in his voice: "I don't allow you to talk nonsense! You were brought here by me, and you said you would serve me for the rest of your life. How could you say such despondent words! You Are you sure that you have been poisoned? I also ate this sweet soup, and I haven’t gone yet, so you won’t go ahead of me no matter what.”

Seeing them like this, Yanhua's breath was stagnant, and she couldn't calm down anymore: "Sister, Xianyun, don't be like this. It's almost midnight now, and we can't invite a doctor, how about this, I'll go and beg Lord Belle, Let him call the doctor over to show you..."

"Ge Ge! Ge Ge!" Before she finished speaking, Hua Ying and Ling Xi hurried over, holding two bowls of pastries in their hands.The two silver needles inserted into the pastry turned black, reflecting a faint cold light under the candlelight, shocking!

Yanhua took a deep breath, and suddenly her heart trembled twice, flashing a moment of fear.

She blinked her eyes in a daze for a long while, staring motionlessly at the nothingness in front of her, her mind went blank.It wasn't until Huaying tentatively called her "Gege?" that she suddenly regained her sanity.

It turns out that there is such a big difference between empathy and being there.Just now she calmly comforted Geng Shi and Xianyun, but now it was her turn, but she was so scared that her mind went blank.

She panted and looked at Geng Shi: "Sister, I have eaten these two plates of pastries, but I didn't feel any discomfort. Except for a slight headache, it may be because of the cold wind blowing when I came back."

Geng raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and stepped forward to hug her: "My sister is not afraid, I will accompany you. When Master Belle goes down tomorrow, we will report this matter to him. If it is a false alarm , it’s better to be scolded at worst than to scare ourselves.”

Yanhua nodded: "Well, I'm going to the study room tomorrow anyway, so I'll just tell him then, sister, don't overthink it, maybe we're overthinking it."

Geng Shi sighed: "I hope so."

Xianyun thought of her elderly parents, whom she hadn't seen for a few years, and didn't know what was going on with them. If she passed away this time... Thinking about it, she couldn't help feeling sad, and started to sob...

Watching the New Year's Eve all night, plus worrying and frightening for half the night, Yanhua and Geng's faces were very haggard on the second day.

Yanhua stayed in Geng's house for a whole night, and when it was daylight, she hurried to the table to look at the two fish.

Unexpectedly, the two fish stopped motionless in the middle of their respective soup basins, as if monks in a temple were meditating, motionless.Her heart trembled, thinking that the two fish were already dead, she quickly stretched out a finger into the water to touch the little yellow fish.Xiao Yu'er was taking a nap, frightened, flicked the water very violently, splashed two drops on Yanhua's face, it was icy cold, the ice made her shiver, and her mind woke up instantly.

She smiled wryly, raised her hand to wipe off the two drops of water, and patted her forehead, thinking that she was really confused, if the fish died, it should have rolled up with its belly upright, how could it be as peaceful as before? Underwater.

The little black goldfish in the other soup basin has not yet woken up, Yan Hua learned a lesson this time, and only shakes the soup basin from a distance.The goldfish in the soup basin swayed together with the water, and the little black fish also flicked its tail in panic, and swam quickly in the soup basin.

She used the same method to wake up the fish in the other two soup pots. Last night, she asked Huaying to fish out two more fish, and fed each of the two pots of cakes in her house to a fish.

Seeing that the four fish were all alive and kicking, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that she can't die, she doesn't have to worry about it.

She thought last night that she might soon be separated from her Zhenlang, and she would never be able to bite his chin, never see his smile again, her body twitched.She still had a lot of things to do with him, so she was really reluctant to leave like this.

Seeing that it was all right now, she was so happy that she cheered and danced twice.

Geng Shi was dozing off with the back of his hand propping his forehead, he was startled awake by the cheers, he opened his eyes suddenly and looked around: "What's wrong?"

Yanhua ran up to her happily, grabbed her hands and jumped up: "Sister, we won't die, we won't die..."

"Bah, bah, bah! Take it back! Today is the first day of the new year, what nonsense are you talking about!" Before Geng's mind cleared up, she heard Yanhua say taboo words there early in the morning, and hurriedly interrupted her.

Yanhua was happy, and dragged her to look at the goldfish: "Look, sister, they are all alive and well, nothing is wrong, not poisonous."

Geng frowned happily, but she frowned again after a while, she glanced at the black shiny silver needles, and couldn't help wondering: "Then what's the matter with these needles? "

Yanhua was also puzzled, glanced at those needles, and shook her head blankly.

Huaying woke up the moment Yanhua opened her eyes, and now that they were all awake, she and Xianyun waited for them to wash up, and after washing up, they brought two bowls of red dates and poached egg soup for their stomachs first.

Yanhua kept watch over the whole night, and she couldn't help but dozed off for a while when it was almost dawn. She was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. As soon as she smelled the delicious aroma of eggs, she hurriedly took them and opened her mouth to eat.A hand suddenly reached out from the side to hold her hand, Yanhua looked along that arm, and saw Geng suddenly frowned, and asked Xianyun to bring two silver needles.

The corner of Yan Hua's mouth twitched: Will I have to do this before eating in the future?It's too disappointing, she must report to Yinzhen today to let him check it out.

Geng tried Yinzhen in the water, but it didn't change color.She hesitated and inserted the silver needle into the poached egg again, her heart beating timidly.The part of Yinzhen exposed outside the poached egg was intact, she took a deep breath and pulled out the two silver needles, but her eyes suddenly turned cold!
The needle parts turned black!
"What's going on?" Yanhua looked at Huaying puzzled.

Huaying looked bewildered and shocked: "Ge Ge, the servant has washed the pot several times, and has been watching from the side while the soup is cooking, no one is approaching!"

Yan Hua turned her blank gaze to Geng Shi: "Sister, what's going on? Is there something wrong with the silver needle?"
