After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 74 Poisoning
  In the palace, the concubine selection banquet was going on as scheduled.

After some rest, the next step was the talent show.

Before the performance even started, Helian Jingxi said, "Where is Miao Lin? Call her over quickly and let her sit next to me."

Helian Wenyu had already seen through the emperor's brother's face.

The promise that he is not close to women really does not exist.

Chunhua said respectfully: "I will call her over now."

Helian Jingxi waved his hand and Chunhua left quickly.

The first person to appear was Miss Yin of the Yin family. She was wearing a pink gauze, sitting in the hall, playing Pipa music.

She played the pipa with all her concentration, her fingers flying rapidly on the strings like butterflies in the wind.

Her expression is focused and calm, as if integrated with the pipa, conveying endless tenderness and elegance.

For some reason, Helian Wenyu always felt that this person looked familiar.

Must have seen it somewhere.

While she was thinking, the sound of the pipa gradually stopped, Chunhua ran over panting, and her thoughts were interrupted by Chunhua's voice.

"Your Highness, Miss Miao Lin has fainted," Chunhua lowered her voice. "Looking at her face, she looks very bad, and she is foaming at the mouth. She must have taken poison by mistake."

There are many people in the hall, and the murderer is probably among them.

The low-pitched notification was, firstly, to avoid alerting the enemy, and secondly, to save the face of the royal family.

After all, on such an occasion, His Majesty's favorite woman was poisoned in broad daylight. It was not an honorable thing.

"What?" Helian Jingxi's eyes widened in excitement.

Everyone in the main hall also froze on the spot, not daring to breathe.

Helian Jingxi was not stupid, and he quickly said seriously: "I'm fine, please come in for the next candidate."

Then he made crazy hints to the imperial sister.

Helian Wenyu understood and left the hall with Chunhua.

When passing by Miss Yin, who had just performed a pipa song, Chunhua straightened up alertly, her eyes falling on her face that was obscured by the veil.

Could this be...

It wasn't until she saw the mole on the corner of the other person's right eye that she was convinced of her previous thoughts.

Yes, this is Miss Tear Mole who saved the eldest princess for the second time.

Previously, the eldest princess and her group were hypnotized by the magic circle. After she escaped by chance, she witnessed the lady with tears rescuing the eldest princess and others.

Therefore, Miss Tear Mole's appearance was firmly remembered by her.

Unexpectedly, they met again at the concubine selection banquet.

It seems that we need to find a way to let this young lady pass smoothly.

"Chunhua, what are you doing standing still? Come out quickly." Helian Wenyu urged.

Chunhua heard the words and quickly followed.

There were also an unusually large number of people outside the hall, so the two of them had no choice but to walk all the way to the side hall previously assigned to Miao Lin without saying anything.

After closing the door, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.

Miao Lin has been carried onto a small bed, and an imperial physician is sitting beside the bed taking her pulse with a solemn look on her face.

"After my servant discovered that Miss Miao had fainted, she immediately called for the imperial doctor." Chunhua explained.

Helian Wenyu nodded, approached the imperial doctor and said, "How is the situation?"

"Your Highness," the imperial doctor hesitated for a moment and then said, "I believe that Miss Miao may have taken a poison from the Qiyun Empire."

"This poison is colorless and odorless, in the form of powder, and dissolves when exposed to water. If no antidote is found, the patient will die violently within ten days." Helian Wenyu urged impatiently: "Tell me, What do you want to use as medicine this time?"

It's poison every time, and the person behind it is really arrogant.

The last time she was poisoned, she said she needed some Baili Shuang fruit to save her, but that didn't make the emperor go crazy.

If Fu Yanping hadn't gotten this fruit from nowhere, she would have been separated from her imperial brother.

There were obviously not so many troubles in the last life, so why are there so many troubles in this life?

The imperial doctor thought for a moment and said:

"Well...since the poison comes from the Qiyun Empire, of course the antidote is also from the Qiyun Empire."

"It requires a medicine called Tianshan Snow Lotus. This thing is located on the cliff of the highest peak in the world. It is said that no one who goes to pick this thing can come back alive."

Helian Wenyu nodded and concluded: "You mean, is it more rare than the Baili Frost Fruit?"

"I don't dare to make any judgments."

"Are you sure that none of the people who went to pick it survived?" Helian asked, "Doesn't that mean no one has actually used it?"

"It is indeed true in the rumors," the imperial physician replied, "Since it is recorded in the book, someone must have used it a long time ago."

"Okay, now that I know, please go down first." Helian Wenyu ordered.

After the imperial doctor left, Helian Wenyu gave instructions on the follow-up compensation matters and then walked towards the palace.

She was just an ordinary woman, how much money her life was worth was nothing compared to the emperor's brother's concubine selection banquet.

He hurried back to the palace and told the emperor what had happened.

The emperor's younger brother's eyes were naturally depressed, and he nodded slightly, silently watching the dance of the current candidate - "Rain Fairy".

This person is dressed in Tsing Yi, dancing gracefully to the accompanying music, his movements are extremely soft, and every movement is full of agility and grace.

"This person is Xu Yanruo, the eldest daughter of the Xu family. She has been learning dance since she was a child and has had countless teachers." Chunhua explained in a low voice.

"Xu Mansion? Is it the Xu Mansion, the head of the eighteen wealthy families in the capital?" Helian Jingxi learned wisely this time and lowered his voice very low.

He got angry when he talked about Xu Mansion.

That was the head of the eighteen wealthy families. Who would have known that they all relied on despicable means such as tax evasion to get to where they are today.

"Exactly." Chunhua replied.

Helian Jingxi suppressed his anger and whispered, "I might as well just give her a break and let her go back."

He had previously had some good impressions of this graceful dancing woman, but after learning her identity, this good impression instantly collapsed.

Helian Wenyu naturally understood the emperor's brother's thoughts. She put her left hand on his right hand and comforted:

"My dear brother, don't be impatient. If you feel that this girl is good, you might as well stay."

"After the Xu family's property is confiscated in the future, they will be helpless and will inevitably be retaliated by their enemies and be driven out to death."

"This Xu Yanruo will probably be their last straw."

"It's not that I pity the Xu Mansion, but after all, the Xu Mansion is a large mansion in the capital. If it is really retaliated against, it will inevitably cause panic among the people."

Helian Wenyu explained, looking at the emperor's brother from time to time.

It is false to worry about causing people to panic, but it is true to worry about Xu Weian's change of heart.

After all, I don’t know where that guy has gone. Chunhua helped him escape from prison, which means that they still have friendship in this life. Maybe Xu Weian will come back to propose marriage one day.

"Okay." Helian Jingxi responded.

Since it was the imperial sister's words, he must still listen.

Isn’t it just that he embezzled several tons of gold?
  How can this compare with the imperial sister?
