"Well..." Cai Bixia really drank too much. She stretched out her right index finger and waved it left and right, "That's not okay... Mrs. Amber is toasting, how can I drink tea?"
"Haha... Madam is weak. Let me have a big cup of tea..." Before he finished speaking, he staggered and couldn't stand still!
At the critical moment, Mrs. Fuhui stood up and said, "You little drunk cat, are you still drinking? Give her a bowl of glutinous rice soup to drink... there is wine in it, so you are considered drunk!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Cai Bixia drank a bowl of fermented glutinous rice soup with Amber!
When Chun Shisanniang saw that this was not going to work, she quickly smiled and said, "Madams, it's okay if we have nothing to do and have a few more drinks... But this Cai Bixia is the envoy appointed by the head of state to negotiate with the Qing Dynasty. It is estimated that the next few It’s been a busy day!”
"We can't let her drink anymore. I'll ask for mercy and let her go back to sleep!"
No one dared to delay the master's career. After seeing that all the serious errands were moved out, no one dared to stop the two maids from coaxing and persuading Cai Bixia back to her room!
The Chinese embassy is very large. Basically every high-ranking official attending the ceremony has his own separate room, and Cai Bixia is no exception! After the two maids helped her lie down on their bed, the drunk cat couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow!
I slept for a whole night with no light, no light, no light, no light, no light, no light, no light, and from about three o'clock in the afternoon until I turned on the lamp, Cai Bixia didn't wake up!
The female soldier serving in the middle opened the window several times to get fresh air, but every time she was choked by the smell of alcohol in the room!
The sun sets in the west and the moon rises in the east! Cai Bixia was finally awakened by the thirst in her mouth, "Water...water..."
With her eyes closed, Cai Bixia felt her neck being pillowed by a strong arm, and then there was a sweet feeling on her lips. In her mouth was sweet honey water, the temperature was just right!
"Slow down...drink carefully! Don't choke..." Xiang Ying's voice rang in his ears, and Cai Bixia drank up the bowl of hangover-relieving honey water in just a few sips!
"Ah... I have a headache! They really suffered a lot today..." Cai Bixia didn't even open her eyes and leaned into her lover's arms!
Xiang Ying actually drank too much today, but it was better that he didn't drink twice in a row, and there were several pieces of navy information that he had to sign for personally, and no one else could do it for him!
So although Xiang Ying is drunk, she is definitely not as drunk as Cai Bixia. She just leaned on the edge of the bed and fell asleep for a while. From time to time, she had to take care of her sleeping lover. She prepared honey water and tea for mouthwash in advance. Don't let her Kick the quilt...
The two of them were lying on the bed hugging each other, chatting about everything from who made the joke at the wine table to the Navy's newly imported Krupp special steel billets and the maintenance of the Zhiyuan ship. …
The night was already dark. Xiang Ying looked at his pocket watch and saw that it was already past one o'clock in the morning. He patted Cai Bixia's shoulder gently, "Let's sleep a little longer...it's another busy day at dawn!"
But this drunken person fell asleep from about three o'clock in the afternoon until midnight. At this time, although her head was groggy, it was difficult to sleep again.
I closed my eyes for a long time, and my mind was too dim to fall asleep. "Hey... By the way, I seem to have seen something very strange today. Please help me analyze it..."
Cai Bixia repeated word by word what she saw Amber cooking in the afternoon, and finally laughed and said, "You said it's really interesting that women in the inner circle compete for favor... If you want to conquer a man, you have to conquer the man's stomach!" "
"They don't reveal the secret recipe to cooking, they secretly mix it into a package and spread it out. They really do anything to win favor in front of the master!"
"If the master has never eaten or seen anything, why would he care about these two dishes..."
Cai Bixia said it casually, but she suddenly found that the arm Xiang Ying used as a pillow suddenly stiffened. There was a tacit understanding between lovers, so Cai Bixi quickly opened her eyes!
As a result, Xiang Ying was half-bent and looking at Cai Bixia with an expression of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost!
"Xiang Ying, what are you doing? Don't scare me..."
Xiang Ying hugged her and said with a strange expression, "Say it again? Tell me exactly what you saw this afternoon..."
"I...did I say something wrong?" Cai Bixia was a little at a loss.
Xiang Ying sat cross-legged on the bed with his head tilted and thought carefully for more than ten minutes, "No! I think there is something wrong. You just said it, what delicious food has the head of state not eaten? Isn't there a good cook?"
"Of course there is competition for favor in the inner house, but even if the ladies cook themselves, no matter how good their skills are, they will not be better than professionals who have been working as chefs all their lives!"
"When the head of state eats a family banquet, he wants more for the atmosphere than to enjoy the food... So the possibility of this amber using secret spices, I think, is zero!"
"Cai Bixia...have you ever heard that a tragedy happened in the old house in Tanggu? That's when Mrs. Amber became seriously ill!"
"At that time, we had already set off to study in Europe. The incident was a big deal at the time, and we had a long legal battle with the Qing court..."
The Tanggu poisoning case was not actually a secret. Xiao Letian wrote about this tragedy when he published a post attacking the imperial court!
But after all, this is not a very glorious thing. After the incident subsided, neither the Chinese nor the Manchus were willing to mention it, so both sides remained silent and never mentioned it!
As time went by, various earth-shattering news about the Chinese people continued to come out in the later period, and there were even major events and news such as the War in the Far East and the Franco-Prussian War that shocked the world and changed human history!
It is precisely this kind of super news that is constantly refreshed, which makes an ordinary poisoning case a long time ago become unknown. Many people do not know that this incident happened!
Even if you hear it once or twice, your memory will be wiped clean by other news!
Cai Bixia's expression changed as soon as he heard this, and long-lasting memories slowly reappeared. At this time, looking at Hu Huo's back in the afternoon, he looked even more ferocious!
"Could it be that...you suspect...you suspect that Mrs. Amber has a conspiracy?"
Who is Xiang Ying? That was the top leader of the stormtroopers. He was so thoughtful that he could plan the assassination of Zai Chun. This kind of person is extremely vigilant and sensitive!
All such characters have a dark and negative evaluation of human nature. They will not easily trust anyone, and they are more willing to view human nature as evil!
"It's very possible... You have to know that it's terrible for women to be paranoid sometimes! Especially when a woman has lost the qualifications to be a mother, how can she vent her pain?"
"There is a term in Western psychology called psychopathy. Does Mrs. Amber also have such a tendency?"
"What if she breaks up? If she can't conceive a child, then she will make others unable to conceive... This kind of drama is very common in the inner palace competition!"
"So... my preliminary guess is that it is very possible..." Xiang Ying stretched out his hand and touched his neck, making a death gesture.
"It's probably poisoning!"
