MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 68 poison

A Dai's recent meals have been in Ashu's house. Na Chun'er is a miscellaneous servant and maid beside Ponu. She can take the opportunity.

Ponu is a little bigger and can eat ordinary grains, vegetables and meat, but Adai still mainly uses soup and rice paste. While Chun'er was serving meals for the two young masters, at the corner of the corridor, in a sparsely populated place, he quietly took out the pottery bottle that he had been carrying with him for several days, poured a little powder into the boiled and steaming meat soup, and held it up. Stir to melt the frost-like powder into the soup.

However, before the pottery bottle was put into his arms, two or three healthy women suddenly appeared from the closed doors and windows in the originally empty corridor. In her hands, the pottery bottle and the food box, some grabbed her two wrists and twisted it hard, while others took out the silver needles that had been prepared and stirred them twice in the meat soup. In a short time, the silver needle was like instant rot, showing dark traces.

There was a chattering voice: "What a villain, how dare you kill the son!"

Chun'er was so frightened that her face was pale, her hands and feet were weak, she staggered when she heard the words, shaking like a sieve, shaking her head vigorously, but stumbling and speechless, until she was twisted into Ashu's house in a trance, a ruthless one. Pushed, fell to the ground, looked up and saw the young woman sitting on the couch, her delicate face was calm and cold, without a trace of the past Wen Tian, ​​Fang shivered, and cried out as if opening the gate, and kowtowed repeatedly. : "Queen, please spare the maid!"

The servants stood three or two steps on either side of Chun'er, staring angrily, always on guard against her losing control. One of them presented the meat soup, the pottery bottle and the silver needle that had just been handed over, and said, "The maid was ordered by the queen to keep an eye on this maid, and just now she took the initiative to take the job of fetching food, and she saw her whereabouts as expected. Sneaky, he is actually going to poison the little son's diet!"

The meat soup was originally for Adai.

The other maid obviously had some experience. Looking at the powder in the bottle, which was as white as frost and snow, and the jet-black silver needle, she knew it was arsenic|frost, so she spat fiercely: "Queen, this maid has a vicious mind, and she actually used arsenic|frost. The young master is young and weak, such a poison can kill the son in three or two days!”

Ah Shu's face was cold, and the gentleness and generosity of the servants in the past had disappeared, and she didn't talk much to Na Chun'er, she sneered, and asked bluntly: "The messenger behind you, is it from the Jiang family? If it doesn't heal, it's also your secret trouble, right?"

Chun'er choked with a choking sound, her eyes showed horror, and she shuddered and said: "Queen, my... maid's younger brother, being held by them, it is really impossible..."

Ashu shook her head expressionlessly: "I have read about the net worth of the servants and maids in the palace before. You were clearly sold into slavery by your parents. Now that your parents are dead, where can you get your younger brother?"

Chun'er cried and said: "In those days there was a famine in the world, and most of the strong men died of starvation. However, the war continued, and the younger brother was only eight years old, and he was also recruited into the army. Hidden, pretended to die... After my parents died, my younger brother Wen Mai arrived in Xindu and came to seek refuge..."

Sure enough, it was such a trick to hold relatives and family members as hostages.

Ashu recalled that in the dream of her previous life, the queen mother used her to blackmail her brother, and her beautiful eyes were filled with undisguised disgust. Although Rao is like this, he can't hide the crime that Chun'er has committed.

"It's an unforgivable sin for you to murder Adai. If you can explain everything clearly, I can do my best to find your younger brother for you, so that he can make a living in the future."

Chun'er was dumbfounded for a long while, weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, and finally gritted her teeth and kowtowed her head again and again, explaining the cause and effect.

…

It turned out that Chun'er's younger brother, named Jiqiu, was only fifteen years old this year. Due to his unknown identity, it was difficult for him to make a living in serious shops and big families.

Chun'er had to use the savings she had accumulated over the years to find a hut for him in the city temporarily. After preparing to stay for a while, she informed Ah Shu and asked her for help. However, when the Jiang sisters and brothers entered the Xindu, they did not bring enough servants, so they bought slaves in the city.

Jiqiu didn't want to drag Chuner down, so he went to Jiang's house. It stands to reason that Jiqiu has no identity and household registration, and Jiang's house should not accept it, but just because he mentioned that his sister was a maid in the Xin Palace, Jiang Chengjun secretly kept him as a servant in the house.

After Liu Yu set off on an expedition, Jiang Chengjun took Jiqiu's life as a threat, and ordered Chun'er to add half a spoonful of undercooked bean soup to Adai's diet every day.

Carob is an ordinary vegetable. If it is fully cooked, it is very delicious, but if it is not fully cooked, it is poisonous. Ordinary people eat half raw beans, still have to vomit, diarrhea, and persistent high fever. Although the half spoonful of soup was small, the maid would not be harmful to her, but a child like Adai, who was only three or four years old, would have stomach discomfort.

At first, the doctors and workers of Wei Dao thought that it was caused by the child's greed for cold, and the food was not easy to overcome. However, no matter how much he checked the food he ate every day, he tried the same thing as the maid, and couldn't find the source. And this Chun'er is the messenger and maid by Po Nu's side. She has no daily involvement with Adai, so she has never been suspected.

Fortunately, Ashu brought Adai to her side and separated her from Ponu, so that Chun'er had no chance to strike again.

Probably Jiang Chengjun didn't want to kill A Dai, but just wanted to use her illness to spread rumors in the city and ruin A Shu's reputation. However, she should have never thought that neither Liu Yu nor A Shu took such rumors to heart, and Liu Yu even took action personally and ordered someone to quietly resolve the matter.

Jiang Chengjun couldn't hold his breath any longer when Xu Shi said about the kiss. This time, she did not show mercy, but directly gave Chun'er a bottle of highly poisonous arsenic | frost. Poison, and finally took the opportunity to blame Ah Shu.

…

Chun'er's words were recorded word for word, and finally he pressed his handprint as a confession.

Ah Shu read the confession twice, but was still puzzled. Jiang Chengjun had no old hatred with her, but he repeatedly pointed the finger at her. Is it really just because he made up his mind to marry Liu Yu?

But now Liu Yu, although he is gradually emerging, is only in Jizhou in the end, and when he comes out of this place, it can be said that there are many bad voices. Moreover, she has never seen too much love for Liu Yu in Jiang Chengjun's eyes.

So far, the matter has been investigated seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and the rest will bring Jiang Ji and others to question.

Ah Shu did not dare to make an assertion, so he waited for Liu Yu to make a decision when he returned in the evening.

It's just that A Dai, a young innocent child who has lost his parents, has to suffer such an innocent disaster, which is really pitiful and distressing.

…

It is now the end of the year, the coldest season will pass, and spring is approaching. No snow fell for two consecutive days, and the snow on the roof of the roadside was gradually melting away.

When Liu Yu returned from the government office, the night had come, the people had all returned home, and the streets were very empty. Rarely did he have some interest, he didn't ask his servants to follow him, he only rode alone, trotted through and went to the Xin Palace.

There was only one street left, but a familiar carriage stopped. The carriage was a little narrow, plain and unadorned, and the plain-colored curtains swayed slightly in the cold wind, reminding Liu Yu of the carriage he encountered on the day of hunting.

He subconsciously frowned, his heart sank a little, and he tightened the reins a little to slow down the horse.

The servant standing beside the carriage bowed to him and saluted him. The sound of "King" came into the carriage with the sound of hooves, but after a while, a slender hand came out from the inside, supported the raised arm of the servant, and slowly came out. , Under the moonlight, the Kodan smeared on the tip of the finger shone with a deep luster.

Sure enough, it was Jiang Chengjun.

After she stepped out of the car, she smiled and took two steps towards him, stopped beside his mount, and without salute, only raised her head slightly and stared into his eyes without shyness, just like in Chang'an, whispering lowly. uttered his words.

"Zhong Yuan."

Liu Yu gave her a condescending look, then slowly turned his eyes away, not looking at her, let alone dismounting, trying to keep his usual gentle demeanor, pulling the reins to make the horse lean back, so as not to hurt her.

"I didn't expect that I would meet Jiang Ji here today. I don't know about the previous Zheng Jun, but have you decided?"

Jiang Chengjun heard the words, the carefully depicted Emei frowned, and a pair of deep eyes revealed a bit of sadness: "Zhong Yuan, I am waiting for you here today, just to talk about this. When I was in the Xin Palace that day, I I wanted to make it clear, but I never had the chance. After thinking about it for the past few days, I finally made up my mind. It is really inconvenient for me to tell the queen, so I have to tell you."

Her beautiful eyes were always chasing Liu Xiu's averted gaze, trying to look at him: "In the past, when I was in Chang'an, I was young and carefree, and I clearly liked you, but because I was frivolous and reserved, I didn't dare to say it, and I was even more intimate with you. When I heard your refusal to ask your father to marry me, I was angry and said that for the sake of face."

Speaking of the old things, the Wen Wen on Liu Yu's face lost three points, and said in a low voice, "It's all over, I didn't take it to heart."

Jiang Chengjun shook his head, and there was a hint of water in his eyes that reflected the moonlight: "I know that you are kind, so you won't blame me. It's me... It's me who always blames myself. Now when you don't plan for me, plan for me, but teach me I'm getting more and more uneasy. I should be grateful, but it's hard to accept your kindness."

Her eyes were bright, and her tears were shaky, which made her originally bright complexion look indescribable: "Zhong Yuan, since my father died, I have been too sad. Pregnant." Her teeth chattered, and she bit her lower lip before continuing to speak out, "Such a thing is a fatal blow to a woman. I'll tell you, that day in Chang'an, that Gongsun Yan also learned about it. This matter, I have to break off the marriage. Only my brother doesn't know about it. In my life, I probably won't be able to marry again..."

As she spoke, she sobbed softly, and Fang stared at him tightly: "Zhong Yuan, let's just leave the matter of Zheng Langjun."

In the night, Liu Xiu's expression was a little blurry. Suddenly he no longer avoided her gaze, but went straight to meet her, and said indifferently: "You just said that you are happy with me, if you marry me, would you be willing?"

Jiang Chengjun's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had been ignited by hope, and said with a blushing face: "I really like Zhongyuan. Earlier, I also thought that if I could marry you and raise Boyan's young daughters for you, I have no regrets in this life." At this point, his tone gradually lowered, "Unfortunately, it's a step too late... You already have Zhao Ji, although she has a special identity... But I think you also love her very much. ."

"Zhao Ji is my wife. What if I marry you as a concubine?"

Jiang Chengjun's body froze when he endured the cold, and his face showed a moment of helplessness, and said slowly: "Zhongyuan, I was born in the family of Gongqing, and I have my own dignity. ."

That is unwillingness.

Liu Yu hooked the corners of his lips and snorted softly, and his jade-like handsome face returned to a gentle gentleman.

"Chengjun." He sighed, his voice was low and sincere, and it was rare to call her by her boudoir name.

"You and I have known each other for so many years, and what kind of temperament you are, I also know a thing or two. In the future, don't say anything like that if you are happy with me. For the sake of temporary face, it is not worth betting your life. Your unspeakable concealment, I I have long known that. Zhao Ji has a delicate and pure heart. Taking into account your face and the time to come, she managed to find Zheng Ling, who has not yet been married, but has an adopted son for you. I can recognize you as a younger sister. Zheng Ling and Jiang Yu, as long as they are talented, I will try my best to support them."

Jiang Chengjun was stunned on the spot. His outspoken rejection made her feel as if she was being ripped off and slapped in public. A shy blush slowly rose on his cheeks.

She pursed her lips and said stubbornly for a long while, "If I still don't want to marry Zheng Ling, what should I do?"

Liu Yu's eyes gradually turned cold, and he no longer looked at her, but only looked up at the moonlight that deceived Frost and Sai Xue, shook his head slightly and said, "I have done my best, and the kindness of Tai Chang can be repaid."

After all, I will stop entanglement with her, and I will drive the horse away as soon as my legs are caught in the belly of the horse.

Where did she really like him? Obviously, many years ago, her Jiang family was in a high position, and he was just a poor student, but he dared to refuse her father's intention to marry, which made her always arrogant and arrogant, and it was difficult to swallow it.

Now that I am willing to put down my body for a while and come to seek refuge, I am still unwilling, and I always want to use his name to be more dignified in front of others.

In the past, Jiang Chengjun always believed that his father was kind to Liu Yu, and he had a certain determination to win. At this moment, seeing the back of his peaceful departure, there was a sudden burst of panic.

She panicked, took two steps forward with her skirt, and said loudly: "Zhong Yuan, if you don't want to marry me, are you going to be married to the enemy's daughter? You want to have children with her, and you have to let Po Will Slave and Adai be raised by her?"

Liu Yu's heart stabbed, and the hand holding the reins tightened, but he didn't stop, and left without looking back.

…

In the letter palace, Ah Shu was still looking at Chun'er's confession in front of her, waiting for Liu Yu's return with mixed emotions.

Queer was sent by her to wait outside the hospital. When she saw that Liu Yu had dismounted, she hurriedly trotted inside to remind her.

Ah Shu immediately got up from the couch, straightened her clothes and stood by the door. Even her hair was not as usual.

The coldness and warmth by the door were intertwined, making Ah Shu's back hot, but his face and hands were cold.

Liu Yuben also had something on his mind, so he walked a little slowly. After walking around for a while, he arrived at the bedroom, and saw the door of the house open in the distance. A Shu was not afraid of the wind and cold and stood waiting for him, so he quickened his pace and walked in a big way.

He stretched his arms to spread the cloak on his body, covering her at once, blocking the chill outside, and quickly closed the door with his backhand, before lowering his head and holding her red-frozen plain hand, rubbing it while scolding: "Why don't you use a handcage and a heater? Just waiting here? It's not good if it freezes."

Ah Shu kept her head down, and when she heard the words, she only said in a low voice, "I was just waiting for the king to return, but I forgot."

Only then did Liu Xiu realize her abnormality, so he waved his thoughts away, grabbed her chin with one hand, taught her to raise her head, squinted her eyes, and said, "What happened? You are so lost."

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bowl of meat soup next to the piece of silk on the table, and a silver needle that had turned black on the side of the bowl. He was startled, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a deep voice, "Someone poisoned you? Is there any injury? Did the doctor ask for it?"

Seeing that he was nervous, Fang regained his senses, stopped his hands that were touching her up and down, shook his head and said, "It's not that you poisoned me—" But before she finished speaking, she remembered what Chun'er said, it was true He wanted to poison her, and then changed his words, "In the beginning, he did want to harm me—"

She didn't make it clear for a while, Fang sighed heavily, and said, "It's Jiang Ji."

As he spoke, he didn't explain any further, just went straight to get the silk that recorded Chun'er's confession and handed it to him.

Liu Xiu's face was tense, his thin lips pursed into a line, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he took the confession and read it.

The long, thousand words quickly flashed into his mind, teaching him that his already ugly face became colder and colder.

He suddenly clenched the silk, took two deep breaths, opened the door abruptly, and said angrily against the cold wind, "Go and capture Jiang Chengjun!"
