216 poison

I have been living in the palace for the next few days.

Although Murong Zijun did not give me any rights, everyone in the palace seemed to be afraid of me.

While they carefully served me to eat and live, they tried their best to please me. However, I have always been in a low mood. No matter how much the palace people please me, I can't really laugh.

Especially the delicious food served in the palace every day. If it had been before, I wouldn't have been happier. Now, I don't have a half appetite. If it weren't for the sake of the child in my belly, it would be really difficult for me to eat a few bites.

Every day, the first thing Murong Zijun did when he went down was to visit me and the children in his womb. It made everyone in the palace think that I am the future concubine of Murong Zijun. And the position of queen that has been suspended, everyone thinks that I am the only one. It seems that in this harem, I am about to become the default queen. In fact, only I know how ridiculous it is.

That day, in the early morning, Murong Zijun came to see me again. The eunuchs behind him were holding the best cloth and many rare supplements. They all looked at me full of envy and fear.

At present, I said with a helpless wry smile: "Your Majesty, you are..." For five consecutive days, the things sent every day are different, but the only thing that is the same is precious and scarce.

Murong Zijun smiled at me with a soft face and said, "Xiang'er, these things are for you."

"How can I use so much? It was delivered a few days ago, and it is still piled up in the house. I have a few answers that I can't laugh or cry.

He shook his sleeves, and his handsome face said with a touch of grace, "Isn't there still a child in his stomach? In the future, what this child will use should also be the best.

Hearing what he said, I can only smile gratefully and say, "Your Majesty, I understand your kindness, but the child has not been born yet, and it can't be used now. Besides, even if the child is born, these things will not be used up at all.

Murong Zijun was silent for a while, then raised his deep black pupils and said with some relief, "If it doesn't work, just keep it."

"There are a lot left, so the emperor should not waste these expenses on me in the future." First of all, these things are not needed here. It's really a waste. Second, I'm not hers. The better he treats me, the more guilty and uneasy I feel. Third, the palace is full of gossip about me. They thought that my child was the romantic species left by Murong Zijun in private.

Seeing me say this, Murong Zijun nodded slowly and said, "Tianxiang, I will remember your words." He turned around and waved his sleeves to the palace people behind him and said, "All of you, step back."

"Yes!" The palacemen then put down the items, saluted respectfully and filed out.

After the palace people left, Murong Zijun and I were the only two people in the huge pavilion.

"Tianxiang, go down." Murong Zijun took me and sat down against the bed. However, he got up and wanted to pour tea for me in person.

I hurried forward to stop it and said, "Your Majesty, don't do this. I will be uneasy."

After listening, he couldn't help frowning at me and said, "What's wrong? Tianxiang, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to call me emperor.

After listening to this, I was stunned for a moment and said, "Anyway, you are also the emperor of Qilan now, and the gifts of kings and ministers are indispensable. Moreover, you are the son of today. You don't have to do this kind of rough work. Not to do it for me." After saying that, I grabbed the cup in his hand and felt a little uncomfortable.

He looked at me silently and seemed to feel overwhelmed in an instant. After a long time, he said slowly, "Tianxiang, what's wrong with yours now?"

"I'm not doing well, aren't I?" I smiled stiffly and didn't want him to be sad. After all, I knew Murong Zijun's kindness from the beginning. It's just that we can't do it anymore. I don't want to owe him more. In that case, I can't afford it.

He looked at me hurt, and there seemed to be fire in the depths of his black pupils: "If you don't give me a chance to love you, will you even be deprived of the opportunity to take care of you?"

Looking at his decadent appearance at this moment, he is completely different from the majesty in front of the palace people. In an instant, I hated myself a little. How could I hurt him like this? But if not, what should I do?

"Your Majesty... Actually, I'm fine. It's you. If you come to see me all the time like this, if others misunderstand you, it will damage your holy face.

"I'd rather let them misunderstand." This loud and unhesitating few words suddenly surprised me.

My heart tightened slightly and stared up at him. His eyes were so serious and serious. It is the former prince Murong Zijun, who has rarely had it.

"Why do you have to do this? You know, now I don't deserve to be with you at all.

"As long as I want to, no one dares to say a word. It's just you, Tianxiang, what do you think?"

In a word, it blocked everything I wanted to say. Murong Zijun is deeply affectionate, I know. But now that I have Xiao Qingyun's child, it is definitely impossible for me to have a future with him.

Seeing that I bit my lips and didn't say anything, Murong Zijun grasped my hand and said, "Tianxiang, do you know why the back position has been suspended?"

I stared at him and seemed to have guessed the answer from his eyes, but I didn't dare to face the answer. So I could only bite my lips and avoid my head. Maybe some truths, don't tell them, are the best for everyone.

Unfortunately, Murong Zijun didn't follow me and insisted on pulling my face and said, "Tianxiang, look at me. This back position has always been reserved for you. Once, when I was the prince, I said that I wanted to marry you, but it was a pity that I played tricks on people. I married your sister, and you belong to someone else.

"Since something has been decided, let's let it go." I sighed.

"No, now I am the emperor, and the world is my. As long as I want to do anything, no one dares to have any objection. However, Tianxiang, I have never wanted to force you, and I also know that you will not easily bow to your thoughts. Therefore, I respect all your decisions."

"Your Majesty..."

"Tianxiang, say it." He looked at me eagerly, and his eyes were full of expectation.

I buried my head bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I understand your kindness, but now I'm not the heavenly fragrance I used to be." I stroked my stomach, and I couldn't have any more follow-up with other men. Because I am already the mother of a child.

What's more, Murong Zijun is the emperor, and if he seals me as the queen now. How will the future child call him? If the people in the world know, what kind of joke would it be if today's emperor marries a pregnant woman?

The moment I saw my touching my lower abdomen, Murong Zijun seemed to understand what was in my heart.

At that moment, he gently took me into his arms and said, "Tianxiang, listen to me, the child is yours, and I can also tolerate it. At that time, I will be born a boy, and I will be a prince and a woman, and I will be a princess. What else do you have to worry about?"

It turns out that his love for me can be tolerated to this extent. The more so, the more I feel that it hurts him to let him do this. At that moment, I broke away from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, I understand your intention. I can only say that I am blessed, and I can't accept it.

"Tianxiang, you..." The next moment, he looked at me so lost and lonely, and his blank eyes were so disappointed and sad.

After a long time, I came forward and gently held his hand and said, "The emperor is not only wise and martial arts, but also handsome and resolute. In the future, there will be better women to accompany you."

He listened and just pushed my hand away strangely. However, he shook his head and said endlessly lonely and said, "No, no, never again..."

After saying this, he turned around in a loss of soul, slowly walked out of the cabinet door, and left step by step.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..." He ignored me how I shouted behind him.

After Murong Zijun left, I sat silently in front of the couch and looked at everything in the pavilion. I couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

At this time, the two little maids brought soup again.

When I smelled that, my stomach began to turn upside down again. I really don't want to drink it, but I don't want to refuse it when I think this is Murong Zijun's beauty. The two little maids were as big as me. When they held the soup, one stared at me with extreme envy, but the other was panicked and scared. No matter what kind of mood they look at me, what I want to say is that everything in front of me is not what they think.

"Girl...this soup..."

The one who took the soup didn't even dare to look at me, but asked tremblingly.

I glanced casually and felt a little uncomfortable. At the moment, he just said lightly, "Put it down." Seeing that the maid was scared, I was thinking, is it terrible for me to be pregnant? Or is Murong Zijun's kindness to me to scare these maids of honor?

"This soup is hot. If it's cold, it's not good to drink. Auntie... Girl, let's drink it while it's hot."

After saying that, the girl brought the soup with trembling all over her body.

The other one buried his head and stared at the one who delivered the soup strangely.

I looked at the other party and didn't accept the soup. I just whispered, "I ask you, are you afraid of me?"

After listening to this, the other party turned pale with fear and was about to kneel down. For a moment, the soup in his hand also trembled and fell to the ground.

The maid was even more scared when she saw the soup spilled, and her whole body was like willows in the wind.

Seeing this scene, I frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

One of them also felt wrong and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Girl, don't see her. Xiaomei is naturally timid. Seeing your noble status may be scared. Don't be angry, girl, we beg you.

Do you have a noble status? These girls really didn't figure out the situation. However, it won't take long for the truth to come out.

I raised my hand and said, "You don't have to be afraid. Get up."

After listening to me, Gong E, who begged for mercy, stood up first. The other, who didn't even dare to look at me, was still shaking with Tang's hand.

This maid of honor is too bold. I haven't really been sealed yet, so I'm so scared. If I really became Murong Zijun's queen, wouldn't she cry?

I thought puzzledly, but I saw that the soup sprinkled on the tray was a little strange.

These porcelain bowls are all made of white jade, using the best jade in the palace. No matter how thick the soup is, it will not flow at all. Today, after the soup is stained, how can it solidify a faint layer of black stains?

Have you changed the medicine? Or is there something wrong with this soup? The conjecture of this moment made me look at the timid maid again.

She looked at me secretly. When she saw me looking at her like this, she almost lost her soul. He immediately buried his face and looked at the ground with a blue look.

But those two listeners trembled more than before.

The maid next to her was shocked and anxious when she saw this. Now he stepped forward and grabbed the soup in the hand of the maid and said, "Amei, why are you so rude in front of the girl? Do you want to be killed by the emperor? It's not even good to have a soup." The maid looked at me with a smile and said, "Girl, don't be angry. Mei must be uncomfortable today. Let me wait for you."

I didn't answer the maid's words, but kept staring at the girl named Mei.

At this moment, her hands, which had no longer served the soup, overlapped at a loss, and the blue veins emerging from her wrists could reveal the uneasiness in her heart.

"Amei, right?" I muttered, and the other party didn't dare to say anything, just buried his head.

"Did you boil the soup?" I asked softly, and another clever maid nodded hurriedly and said, "In the girl's words, this is what I and Mei did together."

I nodded thoughtfully and said, "What's in it?"

"It's just as ordered by the imperial doctor, some drugs to calm the fetus and replenish qi."

"Real?" I asked lightly, but I walked to Mei and bent down gently and said, "Raise your head!"

Amei's face was blue, and even her lips were closed. She slowly raised her eyes, except for nervousness and fear.

"Do you dare to drink that soup?"

After listening to my words, Mei quickly shook her head and kowtowed, "Girl, I can't stand this... such a noble soup."

At this time, another maid of honor also said inexplicably, "Yes, girl, this is for pregnant people, and ordinary people can't drink it."

I smiled coldly and said, "Will ordinary people die if they drink it?"

"No, but..."

What else did the maid of honor want to say? I interrupted in a low voice, "That's right, it won't die, so you can drink it for me."

After listening to this, the maid looked at the soup in the bowl, and then closed her eyes helplessly and wanted to drink.

"Wait..." I interrupted.

The other party was stunned and thought I was going to let it go. He said happily, "Girl?"

"I didn't tell you to drink. Instead, let her drink it." I pointed to the maid named Mei, and both of them were shocked.

"Amei?" The girl looked at it puzzledly, and her eyes were full of suspicion.

And the man named Mei's face was pale and there was no trace of blood. Looking at my face, it's like a helpless child falling into an ice cellar.

"Yes, give it to her. I want her to drink it for me."

Listening to my words, the maid had no choice but to hand over the medicine.

"Amei, let you drink it for the girl."

The one named Mei was stunned first. Then, he didn't dare to answer, just stared at the bowl of soup.

"Amei, take it quickly, drink a little, and let the girl have a look." The maid next to her urged anxiously.

At this time, Mei seemed to know that there was nothing she could do. Finally, her purple face couldn't help crying and said, "Girl, spare my life, spare my life..."

"Huh? Spare your life? What's your life?" I sneered as if I didn't know.

The maid next to her also said, "Amei, the girl just asked you to try the medicine. Why did you let her spare her life?"

"No...no..., I can't drink it. I will die. I will die."

As soon as he said this, the girl was shocked, and her face turned pale and grabbed the other party's dress and said, "Mei, what are you talking about?"

However, Amei, who had been frightened, was lying on the ground at this moment and looked at me helplessly and said, "Girl, this soup is poisonous and poisonous."

I listened indifferently. In fact, I seemed to have guessed it from the moment the soup was just spilled.

The other maid was obviously kept in the dark and said incredulously, "Amei, are you crazy? This medicine is cooked by us. How can it be poisonous? Do you want to beheaded by the emperor? Why are you talking nonsense?

Amei shouted crazily, "I didn't say anything. I released the poison."

"Say, who asked you to do this."

"Girl, this is not my idea. It was Xue Fei who asked me to do it. It was she who let me poison it. Otherwise, she won't let me go."

When I heard this, my heart was cold. Sure enough, she is the only person who wants to harm me in the palace.

"Amei, how can you do this, you know? If you hurt the girl, the emperor will kill you.

Another little maid, full of resentment, after all, they cooked this soup together. If the responsibility comes down, two people should bear it together.

Amei only shook her head randomly and said, "I don't know. Xuefei forced me to do this, saying that as long as she didn't do it, she would kill my whole family."

"You... why are you so confused?" After being very angry, the maid immediately turned to me and said, "Girl, please forgive us. We didn't mean to. Mei was also forced to be helpless. Please, let us go. We don't dare to do it anymore. In the future, we will definitely test the poison first.

I know that these girls who work in the palace are not easy. In the hands of others, their lives are not as good as ants.

At present, Chu Tianxue forced them to do such a thing, which must not be what they wanted.

At this moment, I just sighed, "Get up, I don't blame you."

Hearing me say this, they didn't seem to believe that I would do it so easily, so they knelt on the ground and dared not get up.

I looked at it and sneered, "However, you have to promise me a condition."

"Girl, don't say one, even ten agree."

"I want you to go back now and tell the princess that I have drunk the medicine and died."

"Ah?" Seeing the two little maids standing there in shock, I said coldly, "Go ahead, I'm just lying to her. I'm dead. Isn't this difficult for you?"

"This..."

The maid named Mei still has to hesitate. The one next to her is eager to make contributions and doesn't care so much. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, girl, we will do it as you want immediately. As long as you don't kill us, we will be very satisfied.

"Well, go ahead and do it. After it's done, I'll get a reward."

"I dare not ask for a reward, but I just ask the girl not to mention this matter in front of the emperor."

"That depends on your performance." Yes, the maid behind is a smart man. She knows that Murong Zijun is good to me, far more than Chu Tianxue. So she wisely chose to help me in this matter.
