Chapter 237 Conspiracy
Lin Xiaorou stood up helplessly from the corner and walked towards the main hall, knelt on the ground and respectfully saluted the queen.

"Are you?" asked the queen.

"Back to the queen, the concubine belongs to Prince Jing's mansion."

Upon hearing that it was Prince Jing's Mansion, Wan'er's face showed a trace of panic. The wives who came today are all regular wives. Everyone knows that other than the regular wives are not qualified to participate in the palace feast, so this woman from King Jing's Mansion knows everything without guessing. It must be Concubine Jing, if so, then in the main hall, apart from those ladies, there really is no one whose status can be higher than Concubine Jing.

Wan'er knew that she had offended a noble person who shouldn't be offended, she gritted her teeth and didn't know how to advance or retreat, so she could only fight it out and resign herself to fate.

When the queen heard Lin Xiaorou's self-introduction of her family, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said in amazement: "Look at my memory, it turns out that they are younger siblings. How have younger siblings been doing well in recent years? The last time we met was the day you and your younger brother got married. .”

Lin Xiaorou smiled softly, and said calmly: "Back to the queen, everything is fine with my concubine."

"Why do younger brothers and sisters wear light veils?"

"Returning to the queen, the concubine suddenly caught wind and cold two days ago, which was a bit serious. To avoid infecting other wives, she wore a light gauze face."

The queen smiled and said appreciatively: "My brother and sister are interested. If you are not feeling well, you can go back to rest earlier."

Lin Xiaorou smiled, thanked her and stopped talking.

It was originally Wan'er's complaint, but unexpectedly it turned into a chat between sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

Wan'er's face was extremely ugly, and finally she returned to her seat in a dejected manner without saying a word. Lin Xiaorou secretly sighed that the queen is not a mortal, and she simply didn't deal with the problem but let the problem go back. Sometimes ignoring a person is often It is the most powerful weapon.

Lin Xiaorou raised her head, and immediately met Nangong Jing's surprised eyes. Nangong Jing showed great shock at her appearing here.

"Concubine Jing, please stay safe!" Lin Xiaorou grinned and said slowly, then quietly returned to her seat and sat quietly.

Just as Tranquility returned to the main hall, another woman sitting in the corner suddenly screamed.

"Ah, something bit me!"

The woman stood up abruptly, raised her hand and saw two cavities in her teeth.

Looking down, his face turned pale with fright, and his speech was completely incoherent: "Snake, it's a snake, why is there a snake, it bit me!"

After speaking, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Hearing that there was a snake, all the ladies turned pale in an instant, their screams became chaotic, and they rushed out of the hall.

Several empresses also left the hall under the protection of the empress, and the queen ordered several guards and imperial physicians to be called.

Soon the guards grabbed the snake and chopped it into several pieces, and searched back and forth again, and found one coiled in the corner.

The imperial doctor took the medicine box and was treating the lady's wound, but the imperial doctor seemed to be new here, and his technique was not smooth enough. Lin Xiaorou originally hid in the crowd and watched coldly, but finally couldn't stand it anymore. You must know that these snakes are all It is poisonous, and if the treatment is delayed, it will definitely kill people.

Lin Xiaorou sighed, squeezed out of the crowd and came to the imperial doctor's side, tore off a piece of silk from the skirt, and tied a knot on the woman's wrist to prevent the snake venom from spreading to the blood and extremities.

After doing this, she raised the woman's hand and sucked it hard on her fingers, sucking out the poisonous blood and spitting it out. After the color of the woman's fingers slowly returned to powder, she rinsed her mouth with clean water and took the blood from the imperial physician. After chewing some herbal medicine for detoxification in his mouth for a long time, even so, his lips were still a little numb.

Not only the imperial physician, but everyone else was stunned. Lin Xiaorou's technique was extremely skillful, and she almost handled all of this very quickly. In fact, only Lin Xiaorou knew that her hands were trembling. If you die, you will also be poisoned.

"I didn't expect my younger brother and sister to have such a trick." The queen clasped her hands together to thank the Buddha devoutly, and finally looked at Lin Xiaorou with admiration.

"Returning to the queen, the concubine just thought that saving someone's life would be better than building a seven-level pagoda. I didn't think much about anything else. In fact, the concubine was also afraid in her heart."

The queen smiled slightly, raised her head and swept across the crowd sternly, and ordered: "Go and investigate where these poisons come from!"

The palace was regularly dewormed, and snakes would not appear in general, unless someone deliberately brought them into the palace, and it happened to be the emperor's birthday, so it was a little deliberate to test.

The queen gave the order, and soon the guards were ordered to search.

Lin Xiaorou didn't say a word. In fact, she already knew where these snakes came from, but if she said it now, it would make people suspicious.

Looking up, fortunately, the abandoned palace is not far from here, otherwise those snakes would not have swum here.

Lin Xiaorou sneaked a glance, and saw that Nangong Jing's face was not as ugly as usual, and even a little flustered.

My heart skipped a beat, could it be that Nangong Jing ordered people to release those snakes?But she never expected that she would escape and finally appear in front of her.

No wonder Nangong Jing was so surprised when she saw her just now, this insidious and despicable woman actually thought of using such a vicious method to put her to death!
The guards quickly searched back and reported that there were many snakes near the Cangyue Hall in front of them. The wives were all scared and took a few steps back. The queen's eyes were determined to go and have a look, and a few more courageous concubines followed. Lin Xiaorou naturally followed.

When I came to Cangyue Hall, I saw several snakes entangled in the gate. At this time, the exterminator in the palace had also been summoned, and was holding a big sack to catch the snakes.

"Queen, it seems that the snakes all came out of the cracks in the door of Cangyue Hall."

The door of Cangyue Hall was opened a crack, and it looked as if it was pulled back by something, but it couldn't be opened because there was a lock on the door.

The guard chopped off the door lock with a knife and kicked the door open. Everyone in the yard was stunned by the scene, and some even leaned against the wall and retched.

Even the instigator Lin Xiaorou couldn't help but want to turn around and run away.

I saw a lot of snakes coiled up and down in the yard, colorful and disgusting, but what was even more horrifying was that there were two corpses lying on the ground, and the corpses were also covered with snakes. The two corpses were frightened, with their mouths open. There were snakes crawling around inside, and the face of the corpse had been blackened by the snake venom, and the posture was distorted and looked extremely painful.

The two exterminators were stunned when they saw it. It was rare for them to see so many snakes.

"Queen, this is an ominous place, so it's not suitable to stay for long."

Although the Queen's face was calm, her trembling hands still betrayed her emotions.

Back in the main hall just now, the wives were chattering away, and when they saw the queen, they immediately shut up.

The afternoon was for the female relatives' garden activities, but it was delayed because of this incident.
