Mrs. Liu sat under Banhua. She whispered in Banhua's ear: "The tea here is not very good, because I once said that as a dragon's son and phoenix grandson, you should not indulge in enjoyment. , so Oden’s tea is bitter and astringent, and can only be used to quench thirst.”
Banhua saw that although the other women were embarrassed, they all held the cup and took a few sips to show their determination to share the joys and sorrows with the people.
"This tea..." Banhua picked up the teacup, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, "Are you still wet?"
"Damp?" Mrs. Liu laughed, "Although the tea is not good, how can the people below dare to take out the damp tea."
Banhua looked at the earthy-colored tea in his hand, reluctantly took a sip and put it down. But the smell was really disgusting. Banhua took the handkerchief from Ruyi and spat out the tea on the handkerchief.
Just at this time, the Crown Princess came in, and the female family members stood up to greet them. There was a trickle of sweat on the Crown Princess's face, and she said to everyone: "Everyone, please sit down, no need to be polite." She took a few sips of tea, but there was no emotion on her face. Half reluctant, I don’t know if I’m really thirsty or if I’m good at putting on a show.
But judging from her words and deeds, she is a qualified crown princess.
The female relatives sat down again, and the Crown Princess looked at Banhua with a smile: "This is the first time for Princess Fule, are you still used to it?"
"Thank you for your concern, Princess." Banhua felt her throat was a little hot. She shook her head and said, "Everything is fine."
Seeing that the tea in the tea cup in front of her was barely touched, the Crown Princess knew that the princess who had been pampered since childhood could not bear the slightest hardship. But now that the prince wants to win over Cheng Anhou, she has to cover up for her, "I see you just sowed a ridge of seeds by yourself, be careful not to get tired."
If you don’t want to drink the tea, just drink it. Anyway, there is no recorder among the female relatives, so it doesn’t matter if you drink less water.
"It's almost noon," the Crown Princess wiped her face with a handkerchief. Her cheeks were a little red from working, "Get ready to eat."
They have already tasted coarse tea, and naturally they will not prepare too much for lunch, just half a bowl of coarse japonica rice and a few dishes of boiled wild vegetables without any fishy taste. A picky person like Banhua, after eating a chopstick of bitter and fishy wild vegetables, she became more and more worried about her life in a few years.
Ordinary people’s lives are not easy. These foods are so unpalatable that they may not be full. Thinking that Jiang Luo had sent troops to suppress the victims, resulting in numerous casualties, Banhua somehow felt so sick that he almost vomited.
"Princess Fule, this meal is indeed not very delicious, but the people of the world can eat it, and the Crown Princess can eat it, so you should eat some," a female family member sitting opposite Banhua seemed to console her. In fact, they are deliberately looking for trouble, "You only have one meal, but some people have to eat it for a lifetime."
Ban Hua glanced at this person. She seemed to be her mother’s half-sister. She was married to some low-ranking county uncle. She could barely come to this kind of event to join in the fun, but because of her low status, there was no one here. She really didn't have the time to speak.
Ban Hua is a princess of the first rank conferred by the Holy Emperor, and her rank is the same as that of her father Ban Huai. She does not pay attention to the petty thoughts of this Xiao Yin clan.
She sneered and used her method of killing countless enemies, ignoring the *.
There are no words to describe the embarrassment of a fourth-grade lady who is ignorant of the words and deeds of a first-grade princess and is ignored.
Mrs. Liu spoke up: "This lady is sitting at the bottom. She actually knows how much Princess Fule has eaten. It seems that you haven't learned enough about manners."
It is the most basic rule to eat without saying anything and not to look at the venerable without reason. Mrs. Liu's words only made it clear that the Xiaoyin family has no tutor.
Several ladies laughed out loud. They are all respectable ladies. These meals are really hard to swallow for them. Now a person who doesn’t know which cards dare to point fingers at the princess. , I really regard myself as a person.
Xiao Yin was immediately embarrassed and annoyed after being teased like this, and said angrily: "Mrs. Liu, although I have a low status, I am also the elder of Princess Fule, so it is not an exaggeration to say a few words. ”
When Banhua heard that the Xiaoyin family dared to be related to their family, Banhua immediately lowered his face and said: "Who do you think you are? You have the nerve to be related to our family. If you are shameless, get out of here." ”
Many people are aware of the grievances between Mrs. Jingting and her natal family. In these years, Mrs. Jingting has never returned to her natal family. However, due to the disgusting things done by the Yin family, and the fact that Mrs. Jingting has the support of her husband's family , and no one dared to say that she was unfilial. The most they laughed at behind her back was that the Yin family did not treat their eldest daughter well, so much so that she could not hold her in their lap now.
Banhua gave Xiaoyin such a big embarrassment, and she wanted to say something else, but the princess sitting at the top said: "This lady is not feeling well, please arrange for someone to send her out immediately."
"Crown Princess..." Xiao Yin looked at the Crown Princess in surprise.
The Crown Princess wiped her mouth slowly: "No need to say more, just step back."
Xiao Yin's body was shaking, and she turned around and was "invited" out by two female officials.
The Yin family has not been living well these years. Because Duke Jingting and the nobles he has befriended have deliberately made things difficult for them, the younger generations of the Yin family are having a hard time in the court, especially their children who are step-brothers. , life is not as good as that of children born from concubines.
She was unwilling to give up and cursed, but the Ban family was deeply favored by the royal family, what could the Yin family do? Their family also tried to reconcile with the Ban family, but her eldest sister didn't give them any face, and even refused to let the Yin family in.
"Princess Fule doesn't look well, are you feeling unwell?" After the Crown Princess drove Xiao Yin away, she turned around and saw Banhua's face was pale and her lips were black, and she hurriedly said, "I'll ask the imperial doctor to come in. Let me show you."
"No need," Banhua shook his head, "I just..."
She paused and spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.
"Princess," Mrs. Liu could no longer hold back the smile on her face and supported Banhua in panic, "What's wrong with you?"
Banhua wiped the corner of her lips with the back of her hand. The back of her hand was covered with blood. She covered her burning chest, feeling very unwilling in a daze.
She didn't use any makeup or makeup today, and she didn't have any fancy clothes or hairpins. She couldn't die so plainly. If she were to die, she should be dressed in fine clothes, with the most beautiful makeup, and jewelry that would be the envy of women all over the world, so that she would live her life in this world in vain.
Not willing to give in!
She doesn’t want to die!
"Quick! Call the imperial doctor quickly, call all the imperial doctors," the princess's voice even trembled. She was responsible for the refreshments for the female family members. If something happened to Princess Fule, she really had a problem. I can't explain it clearly with a hundred mouths.
"Immediately arrange for the Imperial Guards to guard this place. No one can leave, and all palace maids and eunuchs will be strictly investigated." The Crown Princess gritted her teeth with hatred. With so many female family members here, it would be better for anyone to have an accident than Banhua. "Absolutely No suspicious person can be let go."
The other female relatives were also frightened and turned pale. On weekdays, they would only quarrel and make some strange remarks, but most of them were not so cruel as to poison and kill people. Now seeing Princess Fule's sallow complexion and vomiting blood, the timid person couldn't help but scream.
The prince was having dinner with the courtiers when he heard screams from the female family members and even the movement of the imperial guards. He hurriedly summoned the eunuchs around him: "Go and see what's going on over there. What's going on?"
The Crown Princess has a stable personality and will never mobilize the Imperial Guards easily unless something big happens.
"Report!" A **** next to the Crown Princess ran in in panic. Before he could see the people in the room clearly, he knelt down heavily: "Your Highness, Princess Fule has been poisoned."
"What did you say?" Rong Xia stood up suddenly, the small table in front of him was overturned, and the food spilled to the floor.
"Princess Fule has been poisoned, and all the imperial doctors have been transferred to..."
Rong Xia felt his head was buzzing. He pushed away the official who was trying to comfort him and strode out.
The remaining officials looked at each other, surprised and then frightened. Poison was mixed into the tea and tea. If this person wanted their lives, how could they be alive now?
"Prince..." The prince's subordinates saw that the prince was also walking out and wanted to stop the prince, but unfortunately the prince ignored him at all.
"Deputy Commander Shi, something big has happened," Commander Yang walked up to Shi Jin, "Something has happened to Princess Fule. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have their lives. Let us guard Yu Tian immediately and not let anyone leave."
"Who do you think is in trouble?" Shi Jin's hand holding the saber tightened, and he bit his cheek tightly, "Who?"
Commander Yang was a little flustered by his strange reaction: "It's Mrs. Cheng'anhou, Princess Fule."
Shi Jin silently saluted Commander Yang, turned around and walked in the direction of the female family members. Upon seeing this, Commander Yang quickly stopped him, "Shi Jin, where are you going?"
Shi Jin ignored him and kept walking forward without looking back.
"Hey..." Commander Yang noticed something was wrong with Shi Jin. Princess Fule was poisoned. Why was Shi Jin so excited?
Not long after Shi Jin walked forward, he saw Rong Xian with a hurried look in the distance. This elegant man ran with no image, like...a homeless dog.
He stopped and watched Rong Xia fall on the ground, then picked himself up from the ground and continued running forward, not afraid of the dust on his body, not even paying attention to the loose bun, just hurriedly Running without even a moment of hesitation.
"Vice Commander Shi?" Commander Yang chased after him, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay," Shi Jin looked away and turned to Commander Yang, "I will arrange for the imperial guards to surround this place."
Commander Yang looked at Shi Jin's stiff back, then looked at the direction of the female family members, and frowned thoughtfully.
Rong Xiasi rushed into the room where the female family members were, and saw Banhua lying on a makeshift couch, and the imperial doctor was feeding a bowl of dark medicine into her mouth.
After a few mouthfuls of the medicine, Banhua vomited. Not only did he vomit out the medicine that he had finally taken in, but he also vomited out a large ball of blood.
"Marquis Cheng'an..." The Crown Princess saw Rong Xia coming in and wanted to say a few words to comfort Rong Xia. Unexpectedly, Rong Xia raised her head and glanced at her. The Crown Princess felt as if there was endless cold air rushing into the soles of her feet. It was cold right down to her chest. She couldn't help but shudder, and she didn't dare to speak again.
"Huahua." Rong Xia walked up to Banhua and reached out to hold her hand, but her fingers were cold. Rong Xia couldn't help but stretched out her hand to probe the tip of Banhua's nose. After making sure she was breathing, he Banhua covered her chest with trembling hands and looked at the imperial doctor with red eyes, "How is the princess?"
"Master Marquis, I am inducing vomiting for the princess. Once the toxin is vomited out, maybe..." The imperial doctor wanted to say that there might be some way to save her, but looking at Cheng'an Hou's red eyes, he swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"Continue."
"What?"
"I said to continue inducing vomiting." There was mist flashing in Rong Xia's eyes, but the imperial doctor did not dare to take a closer look. He just held the medicine bowl and fed it to Princess Fule's mouth. But how can a comatose person have the ability to swallow? Even with an ordinary status, he could feed her with a funnel, but this was the princess whom His Majesty valued. If he really dared to do this, he would be expelled from the Imperial Hospital tomorrow.
"I'll do it," Rong Xia snatched the bowl from the imperial doctor's hand, hugged Banhua into his arms, raised his head and took a big sip of the weird-tasting medicine, then lowered his head and fed it into Banhua's mouth.
The surrounding female relatives looked away embarrassedly, but they couldn't help but take a sneak look.
One bite, two bites, three bites.
The unconscious Banhua frowned and spit out a few mouthfuls of dark brown concoction, followed by large mouthfuls of blood. The blood was dark red at first, but gradually became normal.
Rong Xia took a fancy to the blood in the basin, and her hands shook more and more violently, almost unable to hold the medicine bowl.
"Master Marquis, it's better." The imperial doctor observed the color of the blood. "The poison in the princess's abdomen has been almost eliminated. From the official's point of view, although the poison is very potent, the amount of it in the princess's body is still very strong." It should be very small, so we can have a chance to save it."
The prince turned to look at the other doctors: "What kind of poison is in the princess, have you found out?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, I found a small amount of Artemisia on the Snow in the tea cup used by Princess Fule."
"A sprig of wormwood on the snow?" The name sounded pretty to the prince, "What kind of medicine is this?"
"It also has the common name of Aconitum. It is originally used to treat bruises, but if it is taken internally, it is highly poisonous. The amount Princess Fule took is small, so there should be no danger." The imperial doctor was the least concerned. What I understand is that it is really difficult for people to understand the person who poisoned the person. If he wanted to kill people, why did he only use this little poison?
Although Aconitum is poisonous, if it is used in small amounts and vomiting is induced promptly, it will not be life-threatening.
"I remembered," Mrs. Liu suddenly said, "just now, when a palace maid was serving tea to the princess, she accidentally spilled the tea. The princess also gave the palace lady a handkerchief. The palace lady poured the tea. Now, let’s refill the tea for the princess..."
In other words, the initial cup of tea was highly poisonous, but the little palace maid poured the original tea and poured new tea, so the amount of poison was reduced a lot.
If you want to kill someone, you must have been tempered. You only need one sip to kill. Even if the princess is picky, she will take a sip as a courtesy. This sip alone is enough to kill her. The only surprise was that the little palace maid refilled the princess' glass.
Is this a coincidence, or did the palace maid regret it at the critical moment, so she saved Princess Fule's life?
"Bring that palace maid in." The prince glanced at Rong Xia, who was holding Ban Hua. If he didn't explain this matter to the Ban family and Rong Xia, he would be embarrassed to see them in the future.
As early as when Banhua's accident happened, the Crown Princess ordered these palace maids and eunuchs to be kept under strict supervision. Even if they wanted to commit suicide, they would not have a chance. Now the prince wanted to see someone, and the palace maid was quickly brought up.
"What's your name?" The prince saw that the palace maid was still young and still had a childish look on her body, "Why did you want to poison Princess Fule?"
"My slave... my name is Xiaoyu," the little palace maid kowtowed to Banhua, who was lying on the hard couch, "I know that this is a capital crime, and I am willing to be punished."
"Who is the person who instigated you?" the Crown Princess asked, "How much grudge do you, a palace maid, have against the princess, that you want to put her to death?"
The little palace lady shook her head: "The princess is a good person."
The Crown Princess sneered: "Since you said she was a good person, why did you poison her?"
The little palace maid still just shook her head: "I am sorry to Princess Fule, and I am willing to repay her kindness in the next life." After saying that, she stood up and rushed towards a guard who drew his sword. Du Jiuyan stopped him quickly. she.
"You think you can just die?" The Crown Princess looked at the little palace maid coldly, "Your family, your parents and fellow villagers may be implicated because of this matter. If I were you, I would say If the mastermind appears, at least the poor innocent people will not be harmed."
The palace maid's shoulders shook slightly, and she glanced at the prince and princess cautiously: "I have nothing to say, this slave."
"In that case, drag him out..."
"Your Highness," Rong Xia suddenly spoke. His eyes were red, as if he had cried, but also seemed to be calm after being angry, "Let Wei Chen say a few words to her."
"Please, Marquis Cheng'an." The prince didn't dare to look at Rong Xia. He always felt that he was sorry for Rong Xia and Hua Yatou, so he felt very guilty.
"I know that someone important to you is being threatened, so I dare not tell you who is behind the scenes." Rong Xia looked at the shivering palace maid kneeling on the ground, without a trace of warmth in her eyes, "But I suspect that you are not just Targeting Princess Fule, you also want to murder the crown prince and crown princess. Since you dare to do this kind of thing to kill the nine tribes, you must have the courage to bear the consequences."
"Master Hou!" the little palace maid said hurriedly, "This matter was done by me alone and has nothing to do with anyone else. I beg you, Master Hou, for mercy."
Rong Xia sneered: "If I show mercy to you, who can take the pain that Huahua has suffered today?"
The palace lady kowtowed heavily and said: "I am willing to pay for it with my life."
"I don't care about your life." Rong Xia turned to look at Banhua on the couch. Her face was lifeless and her red lips had turned pale. There was burning anger in his heart, but His brain was so calm that he even surprised himself.
He only regretted that he had not done a good enough job and failed to protect Huahua, causing her to suffer so much that she almost lost her life.
The Crown Princess saw the infinite murderous intent in Rong Xia's eyes. It was clear that this matter had nothing to do with her, but she was unspeakably afraid.
"Prince..." The princess turned to look at the prince, wanting him to say something to break the current deadlock, but the prince just shook his head gently, actually planning to hand over the initiative to Rong Xia. He turned to look at the other female relatives and asked them all to retreat.
"I don't have any relatives around me," Rong Xia held Banhua's hand and said calmly, "Huahua is the only person who is by my side. If you hurt her, don't ask me to plead for mercy. There is nothing you can do. , whether it’s forced or not, it has nothing to do with me.”
"I only want the lives of your nine tribes."
"Du Jiu," Rong Xia called the guards, "immediately check who the palace maid has close friends with, and what relatives she has at home. Anyone who is suspicious will be arrested. I suspect that she is related to Luan The party colluded and plotted against the royal family."
"Yes."
"Master Marquis, please have mercy. Master Marquis, please have mercy." The little palace maid kowtowed to Rong Xia repeatedly.
Bang bang bang.
One after another, blood oozed from her forehead soon. The prince couldn't bear it and turned his head to say something, but when he saw the way Rong Xia looked at Ban Hua, he didn't speak after all.
He had never seen Rong Xia look at anyone with such eyes, and he even felt that if Huahua went like this today, Rong Xia would go crazy.
"Stop knocking, don't disturb Huahua's rest," Rong Xia carefully wiped away the blood on Banhua's lips with a handkerchief, "If you want to knock yourself to death here, go outside and knock yourself. I don't care about you. Dead or alive, you will not be alone down there, I will send your relatives and friends to stay with you."
Is Marquis Chengan crazy?
The Crown Princess looked at Rong Xia in disbelief. Is this what a humble gentleman can say?
Is Ban Hua really so important? What’s more important is that he abandoned the principle of being a right person, gave up his reputation, his demeanor, and even his last face, and resorted to such means to a little palace maid?
The Crown Princess did not doubt what Cheng Anhou said. She didn't know why, but she just felt that if the palace maid didn't tell the truth, Chengan Hou would really implicate her relatives and friends.
Beautiful Tears, Heroes' Tomb, Cheng'an Marquis is a man after all, and no man can escape the temptation of beauty. He was so obsessed with Banhua that he even abandoned himself.
This is also what the Crown Princess didn't like about Banhua at first. She doesn't hate women who are more beautiful than herself. There are so many beauties in the whole capital. If she is jealous, can she get over it? But Banhua was different. Her beauty was too charming and coquettish. Even if such a woman was not a witch who brought disaster to the country, she would still be a restless woman.
She doesn't like restless women very much, including Princess Anle, the prince's biological sister, and she doesn't like them very much in her heart.
In her opinion, Banhua and Princess Anle are the same, living heartlessly and not being content at home. Marquis Cheng'an's deep love for Banhua was like the sun rising on a rainy day, which was surprising and incomprehensible. There are many good women in the world, and there are also many beautiful and talented women. What is it about Cheng'anhou that he is obsessed with such a woman?
"Marquis Cheng'an," the Crown Princess couldn't help but say, "What's the use of forcing her like this? Why don't you send someone down to investigate slowly and carefully to see who she has interacted with, and the truth will eventually come to light."
"I can't wait any longer," Rong Xia looked at the Crown Princess coldly, "Huahua is my wife. The Crown Princess doesn't understand Wei Chen's feelings for her. Wei Chen has no complaints and only hopes that the Crown Princess will not Block Wei Chen's decision."
The Crown Princess looked unhappy: "Marquis Cheng'an, what do you mean by this?"
What do you mean?
Love in the world is nothing but profit. Is Rong Xia mocking her for having a bad relationship with the prince, or does it mean something else?
Rong Xia ignored the Crown Princess. He wrapped Banhua in a thin quilt, picked her up by the waist, turned around and walked out.
"Marquis Cheng'an..."
The prince stood up and called to Rong Xia: "Where are you taking Hua Yatou?"
"Huahua likes a softer bed. I will take her back home to recuperate." Rong Xia nodded slightly to the prince, "Please forgive me for not being able to salute you."
The prince shook his head and sighed: "I will invite the imperial doctor to your mansion right away."
"Thank you, Prince."
The prince said: "Young girl is my cousin. Seeing her like this makes me feel bad, so there is no need to say thank you."
The Crown Princess looked a little lonely. She was insulted by a prince. Not only did the Crown Prince not save her face, he was even worried about a distant cousin. When did her relationship with the Crown Prince become so cold?
I remember that when she first married into the prince's house, the prince was very kind to her.
Just because...she can't give birth to a legitimate son for him?
Rong Xia walked out of the house with Banhua in her arms, raised her head and met the eyes of Shi Jin who was guarding outside.
The cold wind blew up, blowing my flawless hair.
