Li Qingyi accompanied Princess An Cheng and looked at Wang Xuanyi's hand after hearing this.
Wang Xuanyi gathered up her dress and sat next to Queen Wang, and whispered very affectionately: "Aunt, this is something you would never guess, but you will definitely be happy after seeing it."
Queen Wang opened her mouth, a little surprised, "Oh? Then I really want to see what kind of treasure you, little girl, have brought."
Wang Xuanyi smiled and narrowed her eyes, obviously looking forward to Queen Wang's surprised look. She placed the box on her lap and opened it, ready to take out the item.
Li Qingyi and Princess An Cheng on the side were also aroused a bit of curiosity. What could make Wang Xuanyi so sure that the queen would be happy after seeing it?
However, as soon as Wang Xuanyi opened the lid of the box, Li Qingyi heard a familiar, slight mechanical sound. Suddenly, the alarm bell rang in his heart, and he stopped him: "No!"
Wang Xuanyi was startled by the shout, but she had already opened the lid of the box, and several rays of light flew out!
Li Qingyi is now considered to be very perceptive. The moment he heard the sound of the machine gun, he had already reacted, but he only had time to use the brocade cushion he was kneeling under to block the hidden weapon for Queen Wang.
Wang Xuanyi, who was facing the box, had already been stabbed in the chest by several hair-thin silver needles before she even understood what was going on. She let out a frightened intake of breath, and her eyes wandered. On the side, the wooden box decorated with gold lacquer in his hand fell to the ground, and something slightly rough but exquisitely constructed rolled out.
The people in the main hall heard the voice and looked over in confusion, only to see Wang Xuanyi and the female concubines sitting nearby collapsed.
The sound of uproar resounded, and the emperor and others present stood up and looked over.
Li Qingyi was wearing the soft armor given to her by Qin Zeng, and the fine needle did not prick her. She immediately knelt down to detect Wang Xuanyi's breath, but it was weak and did not smell it.
Queen Wang asked in a trembling voice, "Is she still alive?"
"Alive, but... the situation is not optimistic. There seems to be a poison on this thin needle."
As soon as Li Qingyi finished speaking, Mrs. Wang rushed over from the other side and shouted: "Xuan Yi?! What's going on? What's wrong with Xuan Yi?"
Li Qingyi grabbed Mrs. Wang and said, "Hidden weapons are poisonous, so don't get close yet."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Wang's face turned pale and she couldn't believe it. "Where did the hidden weapon come from? How could there be a hidden weapon?"
At this time, the emperor, Concubine Mu and others had already walked over, looking at the female family members lying on the ground in surprise. Concubine Mu stood beside the emperor and saw the safe and sound Queen Wang. Her eyes fell on Li Qingyi who was holding Mrs. Wang, and a hint of evil flashed in her eyes.
He Lianrong stood aside and looked at Princess An Cheng emphatically, as if he was worried about her safety. Of course, whether he was sincere or not, this expression should be shown here and now. Because this is part of the plan.
Princess An Cheng was protected by Chang Ning next to Li Qingyi, so she was not stabbed by a hidden weapon. She noticed He Lianrong's gaze and looked back. The flowing emotions in his eyes seemed a bit inexplicable. thing.
She remained calm, tapped her chin at the other person in response, and then looked away.
Several female relatives, their families and slaves who were affected all around were crying and shouting. The emperor yelled: "Shut up! Where is the imperial doctor? Why don't you come here and treat Miss Wang?! Is it possible?" You want me to invite you in person!?"
The few imperial doctors who were still speculating over there suddenly woke up. They all strode over carrying medicine boxes that they never left behind, and walked towards the five or six people who had fallen to the ground.
Li Qingyi retreated from Mrs. Wang to behind Empress Wang. Empress Wang reacted and said, "Xuan Yi came here to deliver something to me. Unexpectedly, as soon as the box was opened, countless hidden weapons flew out."
Her voice was filled with self-reproach, and everyone followed her gaze to look at the box on the ground. As soon as the thing rolling down next to them came into view, the emperor frowned slightly.
Obviously, the emperor had seen this thing before and knew that it was Queen Wang's old possessions. Someone deliberately set a trap for Wang Xuanyi and used her to assassinate the queen.
again and again
three.
The emperor does not distinguish between joy and anger, but it is even more frightening.
The chamberlain who has been serving him for a long time knows the emperor very well, but the anger that can be seen is meant to be shown to others. This kind of invisible anger is truly terrifying.
The atmosphere once dropped to freezing point, and everyone held their breath as they watched the imperial doctor treating the injured, waiting for the result.
The poisonous needle on Wang Xuanyi's body has been carefully removed, but her heartbeat is getting weaker and weaker.
The imperial doctor reported to the empress: "The fine needles were suddenly poisonous. Miss Wang was the first to bear the brunt. She had the most poisonous needles on her body, and most of them were stuck in the heart. The poison quickly penetrated into the heart. Although I can prepare the antidote, I'm afraid it's too late...for others, it's better to say..."
Li Qingyi and Princess An Cheng looked at each other, and a thought came into their minds. The murderer really knew everything! When the box was opened, the hidden weapons were fired in all directions indiscriminately, but the poison could be detoxified. One or two poisonous needles in the body were not life-threatening. The two people closest to him were the two who suffered, Queen Wang and Wang Xuanyi!
Fortunately, Li Qingyi got a lot of good medicine from Doctor Nie, one of which was the Nine-turn Hunyuan Pill. Li Qingyi didn't know whether it could detoxify all poisons or cure all diseases. He only knew that when his life was in danger, he should take it. You're right to go down there.
She presented the medicine and explained its origin. The people from Tai Hospital took it and planned to take a look at it in turn to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the medicine. Mrs. Wang couldn't wait any longer, so she grabbed the medicine and fed it to her daughter.
Li Qingyi was stunned. It seemed that Mrs. Wang had no ordinary trust in Qin Zeng. She was even treated differently. It was a matter of life and death. Mrs. Wang's actions were subconscious. She obviously truly regarded her as one of her own and believed in her. .
Of course, this is also because my daughter is dying and there is no time to hesitate and analyze carefully.
After taking the pill, Wang Xuanyi's complexion regained a trace of color visibly with the naked eye. The imperial doctors were busy again, diagnosing and treating Wang Xuanyi. The imperial doctor ordered: "Miss Wang has saved her life for the time being, I will prepare an antidote for her now!"
Everyone was relieved when they heard this.
Queen Wang looked at the things that fell out of the box on the ground and asked, "Why is this thing in Xuan Yi's hands?"
Mrs. Wang didn't seem to know, so she looked at Wang Xuanyi's maid.
Garcinia said: "This is a gift brought by the envoy of Chongnan when he came to Dajing. It was given to the palace from the palace, and it happened to be in the hands of the girl by chance."
"Chongnan's gift?"
Queen Wang frowned. Chongnan sent a lot of things, including many novel gadgets. Most of them were given to young princesses and princes and noble daughters of aristocratic families. It was impossible for her to see everything with her own eyes. They all belonged to her subordinates. People are registered in a register. Read the book
But the Wang family is her natal family, and she has personally seen the things that were given to the Wang family, but she does not remember such a thing. Besides, if she sees this object, she will definitely keep it in her hands.
Therefore, someone must be causing trouble.
Mrs. Wang didn't know what Queen Wang was thinking. When she heard that it was a gift from Chongnan, she thought like most people that the fifth prince of Chongnan was the most suspicious. Their purpose of coming to court this time was to provoke disputes between the two countries. .
She stared closely at her daughter and slowly moved towards He Lianrong, her resentment almost coming out undisguisedly. However, after all, she could not rush forward to fight the enemy like a common woman. She suddenly turned her face to look like the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for your wife!"
There was no evidence, and the emperor could not ask who was offended for no reason, but he had to show his attitude. He looked sharply at the fifth prince of Chongnan and said: "He Lianrong, how do you explain to me?!"
Huo Jiao was dead, but Chongnan still had two deputy envoys. He Lianrong looked at each other with ugly expressions on their faces.
Before coming, they naturally knew that something would happen after arriving in Dajing, and they had been very vigilant. But first Huo Jiao died, and now something happened under their noses, so quickly, so unprepared, and without any warning.
He Lianrong stepped forward to pick up the box on the ground, looked at the traces left by the mechanism being touched, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the gifts brought from Chongnan to Dajing this time were accompanied by palace attendants when they were transported into the palace. I checked them one by one and there are no problems.”
Mrs. Wang sneered and said, "It's hard for the fifth prince to
I don’t know, there are many strange people and strangers in this world. Can the mechanism be made into a gradually closing mechanism? Opening it once cannot trigger the mechanism. It needs to be opened and checked multiple times before it can be triggered? "
He Lianrong did not expect that the woman of Dajing would be so knowledgeable, but as a prince of a country, he was not an incompetent person. He immediately said: "But these gifts are kept directly in the palace, and I have not communicated with the king." The eldest girl has never had any contact with it. How could one know that the palace would give this thing to the Wang family and that it would be obtained by the eldest girl?"
No one could find any words to refute for a moment.
Seeing this situation, He Lianrong knew that Dajing would not push him too hard. After all, he had to be relaxed in order to achieve interests. So he said: "Your Majesty, this matter is still under investigation. Please give me a few days to find out the truth."
The emperor was sullen and noncommittal.
He Lianrong felt troubled and looked at Wang Xuanyi who was seriously injured.
After Wang Xuanyi took Li Qingyi's medicine, her pulse became much more stable. After the imperial doctor wrote down the antidote, Mrs. Wang resigned and left the palace, taking her daughter with her.
After the poisoned group of people in the palace were carried away, and the banquet could not proceed, Helianrong made another request, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the matter of the unreasonable death of my Chongnan envoy in your country has not yet been resolved, and the gift went wrong again, resulting in The girl just now is dying, no matter what, we will participate in the investigation of this matter."
The emperor pondered: "Yes."
But they were outsiders and could only assist in the investigation. Naturally, Dajing still had to take the initiative.
The sky turned gloomy at some point, and the originally bright moonlight became even darker under the shadow of thousands of palace lanterns. The gauze curtain was blown by the wind and kept flying, and the gardenia petals were swaying everywhere like snowflakes, refusing to fall for a long time. Both the inside and outside of Qionghua Hall were enveloped in this dull and solemn atmosphere.
Li Qingyi's heartbeat was beating fast. She knew that what happened tonight would definitely become a clue and a trigger to expose all the unsavory facts about Concubine Mu.
As for Concubine Mu and her son, their methods became more and more explicit, and they seemed to be impatient...
It can also be said that the fourth prince is ready for everything, all he needs is the east wind.
