The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 42
After hearing Xi Bojian's question, Xi Wanqing replied indifferently: "Father, Cousin Teng only drank a cup of tea at Ziyuexuan, and left without stopping. I don't know."

"It must be you, the little bitch, who poisoned the tea." Qin Shi heard that Xiao Teng stayed in Ziyuexuan to drink tea, his expression was extremely certain, and she decided that it was Xi Wanqing who poisoned the tea.

"Auntie, Qing'er didn't poison Cousin Teng." Xi Wanqing looked very anxious, she kept denying it, and kept shaking her head, her expression was extremely innocent, she didn't seem to be lying at all.

"Whether it was poisoned or not, send someone to Ziyue Xuan to test the pot of tea, and you will see for yourself." After all, Xiao Yunhe is a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time, without Qin's impulsiveness, he is a little more rational.

"Fifth girl, the pot of tea is still there." Xi Bojian asked.

Xi Wanqing nodded first, and then said weakly: "Father, Ziyue Xuanshang can get that fragrant tea, and Qing'er specially took it out to entertain Cousin Teng, Cousin Teng only drank a cup, Qing'er didn't I am willing to throw it away, and it is still in Ziyue Pavilion at this moment."

Xi Wanqing's words are undoubtedly slapping the lady's ears. The fifth young miss of the dignified An Guohou's mansion is even reluctant to throw away a pot of tea left by the guests. This does not mean that the lady treats the concubine harshly. female?

Sure enough, upon hearing Xi Wanqing's words, the Da Furen's face changed drastically, and she gave her a hard look. If her gaze could kill someone, she would probably be riddled with wounds at this moment.

"Huh..." The crowd watching for a while, looked at the lady with a strange look, thinking, it is rumored that Mrs. An Guohou loves the concubine, and it turns out that's how she loves her.

With the people's questioning eyes on her head, the eldest lady viciously beat Xi Wanqing, and her hands under her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. At this moment, she really wanted to find a place where no one was around, and kill this little bitch Xi Wanqing.

"You go and get that pot of tea and test it." Xi Bo Jian didn't pay much attention to the eldest lady, and ordered the servants.

How could he not be ignorant of the tricks that the eldest lady did secretly, but these five girls were ill-informed and destined not to be grand, and it was rare for him to take care of what the eldest lady wanted to do.

"Yes, Lord Hou." The servant took the order, did not dare to slack off, turned and left.

A quarter of an hour later, that servant fetched the teapot. The tea was indeed the one that Xiao Teng drank, and the tea was also filled with rouge drunk, but this rouge drunk was colorless and tasteless, neither poison nor love potion. It can only temporarily paralyze people's thinking and make people hallucinate. The so-called hallucinations are born from the heart. If people's intentions are right, it will be fine even if they get drunk. Two or three hours have passed after this tossing. It is also easy to volatilize, the effect of the medicine in the tea has almost dissipated at this moment, even if it is checked in public, it can't find out why.

"Bi Ye, go and check." Xi Bojian told Bi Ye.

"Yes, Master Hou." Bi Ye replied respectfully.

Bi Ye took the teapot from the servant, then gently put the teapot on the ground, carefully opened the lid of the teapot, and inserted a bright silver needle into the teapot.

After a while, Bi Ye took out the silver needle, only to see that the silver needle was still bright, without any change.

"Master Hou, this tea is non-toxic." Graduation carefully read the inspection results and told Ming Xibo firmly.

"Lord Xiao, this tea is non-toxic, which proves that people in my family have never harmed Teng'er." After proving that the tea was non-toxic, Xi Bojian straightened his back, and his tone of voice became a bit tougher.

At this time, he still didn't want the tea to be problematic. He didn't care about Xi Wanqing's daughter, but his own reputation. If Xiao Yunhe really killed Xi Wanqing in front of him today, it would be tantamount to going to him Slap melon seeds on your face.

Hearing such a result, Xiao Yunhe was obviously not convinced, and his face was extremely displeased: "Your person, I can't trust you, I have to find someone to check it myself."

"Master Xiao, please go ahead." Not only did Xi Yunjian not object, but he readily agreed.

The two stared at each other, it was not like a relationship by marriage at all, Xiao Yunhe took a mouthful of a Marquis, Xi Bojian took a mouthful of a Lord Xiao, they were extremely estranged.

The eldest lady was afraid that the relationship between the two would become tense, so she smiled and reconciled: "Brother, Lord Hou and I are heartbroken when something like this happened to Teng'er, so why would you cover up the culprit? Just send someone to investigate again." After all, he glanced at Xi Wanqing, deeply regretting that Xi Wanqing was not the culprit.

Because of this incident, there was a gap between An Guohou's Mansion and Hubu Shangshu Mansion, Xi Zhuyan was extremely angry, and she also slapped Xi Wanqing a few times to relieve her anger. This Hubu Shangshu Mansion is her reliance with her mother, it is her Becoming the concubine or even the queen's reliance, because Xi Wanqing, a little bitch, offended the House of Ministers of the Household Department today, she would definitely not be able to spare this little bitch.

The second aunt, the third aunt, and Xi Zhuqin looked at the anxious look of the eldest lady, and they were very proud in their hearts. They sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, each of them had their own little jokes in their hearts. Pull her from the horse.

Xi Zhuhua lowered her head slightly and remained silent. How could she have expected that Xiao Teng would be so useless, even a little bitch like Xi Wanqing, she couldn't deal with it. But I did not forget that the reason why Xiao Teng went to Ziyuexuan to trouble Xi Wanqing was because of her instigation, if Qin Shi knew about this, how could he easily let him go.

Hmph, Xiao Yunhe grimaced, and snorted coldly, not appreciating the lady's flattery, he turned to order his followers: "Come here, go and invite a pharmacist, I don't trust the people in An Guohou's residence."

"Yes, master." A follower of Xiao's mansion responded, and quickly left to invite the pharmacist.

Anguohou's Mansion is located in the bustling area of ​​Hanyang City, there are many shops along the street, and there are pharmacies within a few dozen steps, so it is extremely easy to invite a pharmacist to test tea.

In just a cup of tea, the attendant dragged a man in his 40s and squeezed in from the crowd.

"Master, the pharmacist is here." After the attendant reported respectfully, he quietly retreated to the side.

"The villain has seen Master Hou, and Master Xiao." The pharmacist must have practiced medicine in Hanyang City for many years, and he also knew some high-ranking officials, so he saluted Xi Bojian and Xiao Yunhe respectfully.

"No." Xi Bojian waved his hand.

"En." Xiao Yunhe responded briefly, looked at the pharmacist and said, "Go and check the pot of tea carefully to see if there is any problem."

"Yes, Lord Xiao." After the pharmacist replied, he lifted the teapot, carefully lifted the lid of the teapot, smelled the smell of the tea, then poured some tea into the cup, carefully observing the color of the tea.

Seeing that the pharmacist didn't speak for a long time, Qin couldn't wait: "Has this tea been poisoned?"

The pharmacist shook his head, and said slowly: "Smell the taste, look at the color, there is nothing wrong with this tea, the color of this tea is rather dark, it must have been steeped for two hours."
