Concubine Chen is by no means a fool. Thinking of Eunuch Li's performance just now, how could she not know that the Tao-killing Poison Pill was dropped into this bowl of her favorite ice powder?
"How dare he! How dare he assassinate me!"
Concubine Chen could not imagine that such a thing would happen to her!
Is this Eunuch Li really not afraid of death?
"Mother, you are already soaked. I'd better help you change clothes first, right?" Yang Fan whispered from the side.
"Um."
Concubine Chen also felt the discomfort on her body at this time and nodded. Her hands and feet were weak and she could only let Yang Fan help her into the bathroom.
Yang Fan carefully removed Concubine Chen's clothes. He lowered his gaze, but the white skin in front of him still came into view.
Within reach, it smells like the warm fragrance of musk.
In addition, Concubine Chen's body seemed very weak at this moment, which actually gave Yang Fan an unbearable feeling of pity, as if she was an exquisite piece of art that would be broken if she touched it.
He wiped the sweat off her body with a towel. Little by little, from top to bottom, crystal clear water droplets rolled across her skin, making Yang Fan swallow hard.
Soon, he changed her clothes.
Fortunately, I had just done it for Concubine Xiao Shu not long ago, so I had accumulated experience. This time, she dressed it up quite smoothly. After putting it on, Yang Fan felt relaxed when he saw that the graceful outfit was covered up under the palace clothes. Take a breath.
Dressing a woman is simply not a job for humans.
Just like when I set up a watermelon stall to sell melons, and a customer comes to ask if the melons are still ripe, at least the melons will be chopped, or at worst, I will be chopped as well.
This is so difficult.
"Mom, do you feel better?"
Yang Fan helped Concubine Chen back outside again and sat on her seat.
Concubine Chen's expression had calmed down at this time, and she glanced at the porcelain bowl that had been knocked over and broken to the ground again, with a cold and stern look in her eyes.
"Do you really think that since you are my father's man, I won't dare to kill you?"
Concubine Chen had murderous intent in her heart and immediately shouted - "Here comes someone!"
The voice came out.
The personal maids walked in cautiously and saw Concubine Chen and Yang Fan sitting and standing beside the table. They looked quite harmonious.
And on the ground, there was the broken bowl!
All of them looked uneasy, not knowing what happened just now. Naturally, they heard the movement just now, but when they wanted to come in, they were stopped by Eunuch Li!
Facing the chief steward in the palace, they didn't even have the courage to step in!
At this time, Eunuch Li also walked in with gentle steps, his hands still huddled in his sleeves, and his expression was quite peaceful.
Before Concubine Chen could speak, he seemed to have noticed the broken porcelain bowl on the ground for the first time, and immediately scolded the group of palace maids: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you clean it up quickly! You useless things, I don’t have any discernment at all!”
Just when the two palace maids were about to step forward to deal with it, Concubine Chen finally said: "Wait a minute!"
The two palace ladies froze in place.
Concubine Chen looked at Eunuch Li with a stern look, and said indifferently: "Eunuch Li is so busy asking people to deal with it, is he deliberately covering up the fact that you poisoned me?"
Poison!
As soon as these two words came out, the palace ladies turned pale with fright!
Thinking of what happened just now when Eunuch Li blocked their entry, they all became frightened, their whole bodies trembled, and their legs felt weak.
If something really happened to Concubine Chen, all of them would die badly!
However, Eunuch Li's expression did not change at all: "My wife is joking, how dare I poison you? This is just a bowl of ordinary ice powder, sent from the Hou Mansion, and made by the lady herself. , how could it be poisonous?”
"Whether it's poisonous or not, naturally it's not just words. Since you said it's non-toxic, just drink the remaining ice powder in the bowl!"
Concubine Chen looked indifferent.
Even if the Tao-Destroying Poison Pill is specifically targeted at Taoist methods, it does not mean that it is useless for warriors who are exchanging blood. It can still damage the soul and weaken the foundation of the body.
After all, the cultivation of a warrior is based on the unity of essence, energy and spirit. If the soul is cut off, the end will naturally not be easy!
"Well, since the queen has said this, I will naturally obey!"
After saying that, Eunuch Li actually picked up the broken bowl on the ground and pretended to drink the remaining ice powder in the bowl.
Yang Fan squinted his eyes and stared at Eunuch Li's face.
There is definitely something wrong with this bowl of ice powder.
Could Eunuch Li really know how to drink it?
Would such an old eunuch who was greedy for money and greedy for power really just surrender so easily and wait for death?
Sure enough, the next second, Eunuch Li stopped.
It seemed that he also knew that Concubine Chen and Yang Fan were staring at him, but he just stopped. Not only that, a trace of hot energy and blood fluctuations flashed across his withered hands.
In an instant, the ice powder in the bowl was completely evaporated!
How unabashed!
Or maybe, don’t bother to hide it!
So arrogant!
A trace of sarcasm flashed through Eunuch Li's eyes, but there was also a trace of apology: "Just now, when the old slave was so excited, he accidentally aroused his energy and blood and melted the ice powder in the bowl. It's really It’s a sin! This old slave deserves to die, please forgive me.”
"You're right, you do deserve to die!"
Concubine Chen's face turned blue with anger. She suddenly stood up and overturned the table in front of her, "You are still acting so coquettishly in front of me. You should be punished for your crime!"
Even if she had known for a long time that this old dog was sent by her father, she still had to kill him today!
As soon as these words came out, the group of palace maids next to them were completely frightened.
One by one, they knelt on the ground and trembled all over. How could they not know that they had witnessed a life-threatening accident today!
But at this moment, Eunuch Li took out a letter from his sleeve with a calm face. The blank envelope had no words on it.
"If the empress wants to kill this old slave, the old slave will not dare to resist, but I would like to ask the empress to read this letter before talking." Eunuch Li looked confident.
It seemed that after Concubine Chen read the letter, she would not touch him at all.
"This is what Chen Houye gave to the old slave to bring to the empress." Eunuch Li added.
"Xiao Fanzi, get the letter."
Concubine Chen instinctively felt something was wrong.
Perhaps because of many times of fusion, she instinctively had a vague sense of things related to herself. She immediately judged that this letter might really come from Chen Yinglong, her father who was loyal to Emperor Ming and rigidly observant of etiquette!
Yang Fan took the letter, and Concubine Chen tore off the envelope and took out the letter paper. Chen Yinglong's handwriting was revealed in front of his eyes. Every word was as tough as a knife and very neat and rigid.
"Keep yourself safe and don't have any delusional thoughts! I'll stop your path and take this as a warning!"
The signature was the word "Chen" that was outlined like a knife, serious and cold. It seemed that Chen Yinglong's cold and serious face was right in front of him!
"Father, it's you!"
Concubine Chen lost her voice instantly and her face turned pale.
