The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 205 Note
"What's wrong?" Yanhua was full of doubts when she saw Xianyun's appearance.

When Xianyun brushed past her, she buried her head lower and never looked up at her.Yanhua naturally noticed that she was pinching something in her hand, and looked back several times but did not see what she was pinching in her hand.

Geng's eyes flashed twice, and he hurriedly came over and pulled Yanhua aside to sit down: "She, I just miss her parents."

Yan Hua nodded suspiciously: "Oh~"

"What did Lord Baylor ask you for?" Seeing the thoughtful look on her face, Geng changed the subject deliberately.

Yanhua came back to her senses, and hurriedly pursed her lips to make a complaining look: "Just now after the crown prince left, I glared at him a few times, and he thought I was cheating, so he called me over and reprimanded me. "

"What are you staring at him for?"

Yan Hua took a look at Geng Shi, seeing her calm face and no jealousy, she continued, "I don't think his eyes are very good. Why doesn't he know about Sister Song's character? Sister, what do you think?" What does he have eyes for? He doesn’t specialize in scaring people? He’s been cuckolded and kept in the dark, isn’t his eyes very bad?”

As she spoke, she began to feel distressed, sour and bitter.She really wanted to open his eyes a little wider, to see Mrs. Song's character clearly!She wished that Yinzhen would get rid of that femme fatale woman earlier, so that the mansion would be peaceful.

Geng Shi twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, and then sighed: "He is busy with the things the emperor told him to do all day, how can he have the time to look at the people in the whole house?"

Yan Hua fell silent, how could she not know these truths?It's just because I feel sorry for him, that's why I said so many complaints angrily.

Geng Shi looked at her for a while, hesitating to speak, and finally staring at her bright eyes, said carefully: "Did my sister feel uncomfortable recently? I feel a little headache recently."

Yan Hua was stunned for a moment, not understanding why she suddenly asked such a sentence, she frowned and thought for a while before she nodded: "I did have headaches from time to time last year, and I didn't have this problem before. It's been fine recently, No discomfort at all."

Hearing what she said, and seeing her pale face, Geng became even more puzzled: "Did we eat something unclean? Xianyun also said that she occasionally had headaches and sweating. See what's wrong. Does Huaying and Lingxi in your house have this problem too?"

Lingxi waited at the side, heard Geng's question, and meditated for a while in doubt: "Ge Ge said this, I remembered that I had a headache a few days ago, it was just a dull pain in my head, it seemed that there was a pain in my head. It’s like a little person stabbing my brain with a needle. It’s been fine these few days, and I don’t feel uncomfortable.”

Upon hearing this, Geng pondered for a while, feeling that the situation was a little serious, and that what was said in the note was probably true.She hurriedly led and called out in a panic: "Xianyun! Xianyun! Come in as soon as the hand warmer is finished! Lingxi, go and call Huaying over."

Seeing his actions, Yanhua felt a "thump" in her heart, knowing that she must have something important to do.She thought of Xianyun's appearance when she entered the room just now, and her uneasiness grew stronger: "Sister, what happened? Someone wants to kill us in Wanfu Pavilion?"

Geng Shi had just asked such a few words, Yanhua already had some calculations in her heart.

It's fine, everyone in the room is having headaches for no reason, so it's not a problem.Could it be that someone in Wanfu Pavilion collided with something unclean, and everyone was infected with evil together?
After Lingxi called Huaying over, Geng asked Xianyun to take out a small note.Just now in a hurry, Xianyun crumpled the note into a ball, it was already crumpled, but it didn't prevent everyone from seeing the words on it clearly: someone poisoned, be careful!

"Ah!" Yan Hua exclaimed, and looked at Geng Shi in disbelief, "Who wants to harm us?"

Huaying didn't know many words, so she didn't know the poisonous word, but she guessed the meaning of the word by combining the words before and after, and couldn't help but wonder: "Where did this note, Gege, come from?"

Xianyun pursed her mouth: "When I came back from the hall just now, I saw it as soon as I opened the door. It was stuffed in through the crack in the door."

"But none of us have been poisoned? Could it be that someone wrote this to scare us?" Hua Ying looked at the crowd suspiciously, seeing that everyone was fine, she felt that this note was intended to scare them on purpose.

Geng looked down at those words again, she was not sure, but just now when everyone said they had a headache, she couldn't help feeling nervous.

Yanhua held the paper in her hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then wiped the words with her fingers, and saw black charcoal powder sticking to her fingertips, she looked up at everyone and said:
"I think it's true. Who would scare people like this when they have nothing to do? If they are caught, they will have to be punished. Look at this word, it seems to be written in a hurry. She must be I didn't have time to find a pen, so I found a piece of charcoal to draw these words. The writing is not very beautiful. You see, this poisonous word is also wrongly written. I think the person who wrote this note must not have read much. If we think of a way to ask everyone in the house to write a few words for comparison, maybe we can find the person who wrote this note."

The three maids looked at Yanhua with admiration, and Geng Shi also had admiration in his eyes, but he shook his head: "That's what I said, but it's too difficult to do. In what name do we let everyone write for us?" What? There are so many people in the house, who can write and who can't, we have no way of knowing. If the person who can write lies and says he can't write, we can't find out. Besides, if things get serious, we will inevitably have to There was an uproar, it’s okay if someone poisoned, but if no one poisoned, you and I will be guilty of a great crime.”

Yanhua nodded: "I'm just talking casually, the most urgent thing is to find out what is poisonous. It's too baseless to say that I have a headache. I used to feel headache when copying scriptures."

Huaying's brain is more flexible, and she quickly suggested: "Ge Ge, but can you use a silver needle to test the food in Wanfu Pavilion? This servant knows that if there is poison like arsenic in the food, the silver needle will turn black after being tested."

Hearing this, Xianyun quickly found some silver needles, Lingxi and Huaying quickly took one in their hands, and started to work separately.

Seeing this, Yan Hua hurriedly warned: "You should also try the wine you drink."

Yanhua originally thought that the long night would be difficult, but after learning about such a thing, taking advantage of the time when the three of them tested the poison with silver needles, she asked Geng suspiciously: "Who in the mansion wants to harm us? Is it Song Gege? Why does she always have trouble with us? How have I ever offended her, and she tried to kill me over and over again!"

Geng Shi sighed heavily, took Yan Hua's hand and put it in his palm, he couldn't help feeling: "Fortunately, it's okay, I don't know who this person came to inform us, if someone really poisoned us, it would People also saved our lives!"

Yan Hua nodded with concern: "I hope someone deliberately scares us."

The two fell silent, each thinking about their own thoughts.Yanhua wanted to drink water halfway, but Geng Shi held down her hand as soon as she picked up the cup.She took a silver needle and dipped it on the edge of the tea. After waiting for a while, the silver needle didn't change color, then she nodded in relief: "This water should be fine, sister, let's drink it."

Yan Hua's heart suddenly felt warm, she smiled at Geng Shi, and hurriedly took a couple of sips of water.

"Ah! It's changed!"

Just as Yanhua put down the cup, there was a crisp exclamation from outside!

Geng Shi and Yan Hua hurriedly stood up and walked out hurriedly.Lingxi was pointing at a plate of red bean cakes, looking at the silver needles stuck in the cakes, his eyes widened!I saw that the needles, which were originally silver and translucent, had turned black at this time, as if they were dyed with pitch-black ink, with a faint and cold luster.

Xianyun's complexion changed suddenly, her lips turned white in an instant, as if her heart was throbbing suddenly, she hurriedly raised her hand to cover her chest: "This...how can this happen? I will eat it in the afternoon. Let’s live together...how can I be fine..."

Huaying also ran over hearing the sound, heard Xianyun muttering to herself, and hurriedly said: "Maybe this person injected the poison while Gege and the others went to the hall to eat together."

When Xianyun heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and she stroked her chest secretly: "Huh~ I was scared to death, I thought I was poisoned."

Yan Hua pointed at the plates of cakes on the table suspiciously: "Is there only a problem with this red bean cake?"

Xianyun nodded suspiciously: "I've tried several other things, only this red bean cake has a problem."

"Huh?" Huaying turned her head and glanced at the silver needle she had put in the soup just now, her color changed as well, and she hurriedly walked over with the small bowl, "Ge Ge, what kind of soup is in it?"

Now, it was Geng's turn to change color, she stared at the completely black silver needle in surprise, and looked at Xianyun in disbelief.

Xianyun was also quite surprised, the bowl contained a small bowl of sweet soup, which Geng ate before going to the main hall for dinner.She drank half of it at the time and didn't want to drink anymore. Xianyun didn't have time to clean up because she wanted to accompany her to the main hall, and when she came back, she was delayed in cleaning up because of the note!Unexpectedly, there is poison in that sweet soup?
Xianyun frowned and thought for a while, but she really didn't know where she made a mistake: "Ge Ge, when the servant girl made this sweet soup, she never left for half a step! It shouldn't be poisonous... Ge Ge is still fine until now." , could this poison be applied later?"

Geng's heart beat like a drum, and he was stunned for a while without moving.

Seeing this, Yan Hua made a quick decision: "Hua Ying, go and fish a small goldfish from the fish tank outside."

Hua Yingben was staring at Gengshi and Xianyun in a daze, and when she heard Yanhua's order, she hurriedly "ah", and hurriedly found a net bag and went outside to catch a fish and came back.

She found an empty soup basin, filled it with water, put the fish in it, and brought it in front of Yanhua.

Yanhua walked to the table calmly, and called Geng Shi: "Sister, is it poisonous? Let's try it first." After finishing speaking, she took a spoonful of sweet soup with a spoon and poured it into the soup bowl containing fish to go.

The fish was very cold outside, but when it entered the warm room, it immediately swam happily.After being immersed in the sweet soup, the little fish immediately swam towards the sweet soup, opened its mouth and ate it in big mouthfuls...
