Chapter 7 Almost Tricked
Qingyan Hall.
At the beginning of the lantern.
"Is she back?" Liang Shaojun leaned on the couch, stared at the jumping and swaying candlelight on the table, and asked in a low voice.
"The crown princess was summoned by the queen and has not returned yet." Li Yuan answered calmly.
Liang Shaojun was thoughtful and quiet in the hall for a long time.
"Say it. Have you found it all?"
"Return to the Lord, it has not been fully detected, but the person has been arrested. Does the Lord want to interrogate him in person?" Li Yuan held his sword in one hand and replied respectfully.
"Good." Liang Shaojun nodded.
Li Yuan made a gesture to the door. Before long, he saw two bodyguards coming in with a maid of honor, and then another person came in, lowering his eyebrows and his hands drooping slightly, but it was a tourmaline.
The tourmaline had no expression on his face and walked obediently behind without any emotion. On the contrary, the maid in front of her was already shaking like a sieve. If she hadn't been held by the left and right guards, her legs might have been so weak that she couldn't even walk.
The maid knelt down trembling under the push of the bodyguard and kowtowed, "Your Highness, please be gravitate. I didn't do anything!" The maidservant is wrong!"
After shouting for a long time, I didn't see anything above. The maid of honor was timid and finally stopped and knelt down.
"I shouted for injustice before I asked you, but you said, why did you wrong?" Liang Shaojun remained calm and looked up at the people kneeling on the ground.
Perhaps she was deterred by this oncoming heavy depression, and the maid's drooping shoulders trembled again, lying down tightly, and did not dare to make a sound.
"Your Highness asks you."
The cold voice, straight without any emotion, and the eyes were also cold. The bottom of the maid's feet was cold, and cold sweat covered her forehead.
She kowtowed again and answered in a very low voice: "What... I don't know anything..."
"I don't like people lying. Once I see through it, it won't end well." Liang Shaojun was indifferent and took a leisurely sip of tea.
There are so many people in the hall, but they are quiet. They can even hear a needle, which is so quiet and depressing. The maid's hand held on the ground clenched her fist, and her nails almost pierced the flesh.
"Who instructed you?" Liang Shaojun interrogated unhurriedly, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the blue seal kneeling aside.
"I don't understand what your Highness means. I'm just a rough maid... How can anyone instruct me..."
"Then what are you doing sneaky outside the prince's bedroom?"
"The maidservant just... happened to... pass by..." The maid's face suddenly turned pale and her lips trembled even more.
"Do you dare to lie when you die? Do you have to use torture to tell the truth?" Liang Shaojun sneered.
"You cheap maidservant, Your Highness came to judge you in person. How much face do you have? Why don't you come from the real trick quickly? If you are a slave, you should be praised. The eunuch who served the prince's side said in a soft voice, and also turned his hand to point to the maid of honor and pointed to an orchid, "Otherwise, if you send it to Shenxingsi, you must have been taken more and more thoughtful than others."
The maid of honor finally couldn't stand the threat and confessed all over her head.
It turned out that the reason why the two were completely out of control and behaved abnormally during the day was that they were fascinated by the fragrance of lost souls.
The lost soul incense is not a highly poisonous thing, but it can play a role in confusing the mind. A small amount of lost soul incense can play a calming role, but too much will make people fall into mania and hallucinations. The fragrance of lost soul can be hidden in any kind of spice and is not easily detected. Through different medicinal materials, different formulas can be matched, with different functions, and can be subdivided. There are charming fragrances that promote people's confusion, dark fragrances that make people sad and depressed, and tears that make people despair...
The inner palace is often used for sleeping, with the fragrance of sleeping. The spices in the palace are more or less mixed, which is not a rare thing. The most important thing is that this fragrance is not harmful to ordinary people.
The problem is that the queen ordered that Sigongtai should not send spices containing lost soul fragrance to the prince and the prince's concubine's bedroom, because these two people have been poisoned and have no resistance to soul fragrance. I'm afraid it will be used. The queen has always been very cautious in this regard.
And this time, a small amount of soulless incense was mixed in the incense burned in Su Siman's bedroom! Moreover, the ingredient of this soulless incense is very sinister, mixed with several kinds of incense, forming a bad smell, which is a kind of incense specially designed to stimulate evil. Anyone who breeds a little evil thoughts in his heart will be magnified several times.
A small amount of licorice was added to the tea in Anqin Garden, and the tea entered the abdomen, which played a more catalytic role, making the effect of lost soul fragrance several times more than usual.
This is the reason why Su Siman and Liang Shaojun are out of control.
Of course, Liang Shaojun only vaguely guessed this at this time, because the maid of honor only confessed and stole the fragrance of Su Siman's bedroom. As for what was mixed in the spices, she didn't know at all. It took Dr. Li several days to find out the harmful things mixed in the spices, and his guesses have been verified.
After that, the maid was dragged out and killed, and it was executed immediately.
In the palace, you have to pay a price for seeing what you shouldn't see and listening to what you shouldn't hear.
The tourmaline was left alone to kneel in the hall, with a thin and slender figure lying low, which was particularly lonely and pitiful.
Liang Shaojun changed his posture, half supported his arms, and glanced coldly at the person kneeling in the center of the hall.
Although the tourmaline is low, the spine is very straight. Because of this, the skinny back is thinner, and the two shoulder blades rise high.
She just knelt there without saying a word, motionless, like a hill.
Liang Shaojun waved his hand to the people below, signaling them to retreat. The guards retreated and were silent.
When everyone retreated, there were only Bixi, Li Yuan and Liang Shaojun left in the hall, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
Liang Shaojun stared at her silently for a long time and said, "Raise your head."
Bixi followed his words, slowly straightened up, raised his head, and his eyes still fell on the inch below him, not looking at him. If it was usual, she would probably dare to look at him, but it was no more than usual at this time. If she was careless, she would commit great disrespect and be punished.
"Why did you let her escape on the spot?" Liang Shaojun asked in a condensed voice and frowned slightly.
Bixi knew who "she" was referring to, and her face was white, and she clenched her lower lip and did not answer.
"Don't want to answer, or don't want to answer?" Liang Shaojun narrowed his eyes.
Bixi still didn't speak, and his lower lip was bitten white.
Li Yuan stared at her and unconsciously raised his eyebrows, covering his face with frost.
Liang Shaojun snorted and glanced at her with deep meaning: "Forget it, it's useless for you to protect the person I want to get rid of."
The one who was just dragged out of the stick and killed is a living example. This is his subtext. And Tourmao also understood that in his eyes, the man's status was no different from that of the maid of honor, and her life was all in his hands.
Because he understood, he was even more shocked. The tourmaline's face did not change color, but he still bit his lips, but his hands unconsciously tightened the clothes on his side. How much does he know? Or... all of them know? This idea almost made it impossible for her to keep her face smooth, and her face gradually turned white into a piece of paper.
She was a little panicked and wondered if he had inserted an eyeliner in Anqin Garden. She used to feel a pair of eyes peeping at her behind her, but when she turned around, she couldn't find it, every time. There are not many people who can avoid her search without flaws. After a long time, she thought it was her own hallucination and had the right to be more careful. Today, I'm afraid that my every move was firmly targeted in the morning, but I was kept in the dark.
If someone hadn't stared at her, how would he know that when she came out of the prince's bedroom in a panic today, she brought out the maid who was secretly eavesdropping in the corner of the wall.
The heart gradually sank into the depths of the cold ice abyss.
I don't know when there is a faint smell of blood in my mouth, which is slightly salty.
The tourmaline was cold, and his heart was horizontal, and he met Liang Shaojun's cold and solemn eyes.
"Your Highness, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Liang Shaojun hooked the corners of his mouth and drew a smile on his lips. Before reaching his eyes, he had faded: "You are a smart person and has always been the most trusted by the imperial concubine. Therefore, I have always valued you very much. At this time, the harem of the imperial court is surging, which is extraordinary. I just hope that you don't be emotional, stand in the wrong team, and help the wrong person.
If you don't say enough, the people in the palace like to take turns, but for Bixi, guerite is an indispensable course in her several years of maid career, which is not difficult for her. Liang Shaojun's words are not difficult to understand for those who know each other well. In fact, his meaning is very clear, clear, and even friendly. However, no matter how friendly it is, it is also a warning.
Those in power are happy to kill chickens and warn monkeys.
"I understand. Thank you for your kindness." The tourmaline straightened his spine and lowered his eyes.
"Just understand. Serve her well, and I won't pursue all kinds of things in the past. Liang Shaojun leaned forward, "If you dare to betray again..." He paused, squinted, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and stopped talking.
Silence is better than sound, and silent deterrence is the most intimidating.
The tourmaline obviously felt that his whole body seemed to be wrapped in ice that had not melted for ten thousand years, and it was so cold to the bone.
Her lips tremled almost invisibly: "I dare not."
"Okay, go down." Liang Shaojun waved his hand, retreated, and leaned on the cushioned backrest.
The tourmaline slowly walked out of the palace, and Li Yuan did not squint, and his hand holding the hilt of the sword did not move at all.
" Li Yuan, do you think she can do it?" Liang Shaojun stared at the swaying candlelight and asked calmly.
"I don't know." Li Yuan was slightly stunned and lowered his head to answer.
"Pay attention to her deeds. At this critical moment, I will never allow a fire in the backyard, especially I don't want to see an accident in Anqin Garden." Liang Shaojun closed his eyes, leaned against the cushion obliquely, and stroked his temples with one hand. At this time, he showed fatigue.
"I understand that it will be arranged." After a pause, he added in a low voice, "Lord, take care of yourself."
Since he was stabbed last time, Liang Shaojun's new injury hooked the old creation and ran all the way. He has not had a good rest. He is a little weak and can't stand the fatigue. There have been a lot of things recently. The big plan that has been planned for more than half a year has reached a critical moment, and he can't be allowed to relax for a moment.
The hall became quiet again, and only the hope of the burning candle crackled.
"Lord, do you really want to do that? Have you really thought about it?" Li Yuan asked carefully and advised with slight deliberation. He has never asked why Liang Shaojun is going to do anything, and he has no other questions. He is a god for all his decisions. He wants to persuade the Lord to think carefully.
"Natural." Liang Shaojun rubbed the corners of his eyes and didn't think much.
"But my subordinates think that His Highness should focus on dealing with those who coveted the throne..."
Liang Shaojun interrupted him and was a little impatient: "Okay, wordy, you don't remember how many times you have said this. My ears are going to get cocoons. This matter cannot be discussed again.
"But..." Li Yuan was in a hurry and opened his mouth to speak.
At this time, a burst of night wind suddenly blew in, and the candlelight swayed and went out.
The bedroom suddenly darkened, and the light was unknown.
Liang Shaojun looked out of the window and muttered, "The wind is blowing, and the weather is going to change..."
Li Yuan also followed his eyes and looked out. The moon was covered by dark clouds, and the sky exposed in his sight was as black as lead, without a trace of bright color.
"Yes, it's windy, and the weather is going to change..."
