Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 373 Gu Poison (3)

She glanced around the kitchen, and stopped at the corner full of a tank of water. The water was still slightly swaying, and it was freshly drawn this morning.

Regardless of whether she guessed her brother's mind correctly or not, she had already taken this step and could not retreat.

Xia Yuanxi pretended to walk to the water tank unintentionally, and put her hand into the water tank. The moment she touched the water, her skin felt a slight tingling pain, but there was a secret joy in her heart. Sure enough, her brother threw Xuanji into it. !

But to really make this poison work, it can only be eaten with the mouth!

He ordered the servants to prepare the ingredients, Xia Yuanxi rolled up his sleeves high, revealing two white lotus root-like arms, and started to stew the bird's nest by himself.

She has already learned cooking skills in Pei's residence, and every process of cooking is orderly and meticulous. Wan Cui is afraid that Xia Yuanxi will have evil intentions, which will be bad for Pei Yuzhe, so she follows her closely, watching her every move.

Finally, a cup of bird's nest exuding a tempting fragrance was released. Xia Yuanxi took a small spoon from the side, gently scooped up a spoon, and handed it to Wan Cui's lips, "Taste it and see if it tastes right. ?”

Wan Cui shook her head and took a few steps back, this is something for the concubine side, how can she be a girl who can taste it casually!

"Since the master is ready, let's send it to the side princess first. It's just right to drink when the side queen wakes up."

"That's right." Xia Yuanxi looked at the spoonful of bird's nest in his hand, "It's not good to pour the scooped out bird's nest back, it's a pity if it's poured, I'd better come and taste it myself."

After finishing speaking, she actually fed that spoonful of bird's nest into her mouth without hesitation, closed her eyes and nodded gently, "Fortunately, it's not unfamiliar."

Seeing that Xia Yuanxi tasted the bird's nest himself, Wan Cui felt more relieved. Seeing Xia Yuanxi put the spoon aside and put in a clean one, Xia Yuanxi smiled and said, "Give it to the side princess!"

Wan Cui personally took the bird's nest and went out. Before she could step out of the kitchen door, the girl's exclamation came from behind her. Wan Cui hurriedly looked back, and saw a trace of black and purple blood dripping from the corner of Xia Yuanxi's mouth, which was still ruddy just now. Her lips and her skin were slowly turning purple, Wan Cui was shocked, she hurriedly put aside the bird's nest porridge in her hand, and ran out of the kitchen to find the doctor and Ning Yuyao.

After a while, Ning Yuyao put on a dark face, and led Jiang Shaode into the small courtyard next to the main kitchen where Xia Yuanxi was placed.

Jiang Shaode first glanced at Xia Yuanxi's eyelids, then immediately felt his pulse, and did not speak for a while.

Ning Yuyao stood aside, and asked Wan Cui in a deep voice, "Why was she poisoned?"

"I don't know." Wan Cui knelt on the ground and replied with a blank expression, "When Xia Yuanxi was making the bird's nest, I followed her all the time and focused on her. Besides, Xia Yuanxi's sleeves were rolled up at that time, so it was impossible to release the poisonous substance. Putting it into the bird's nest when the servants are not prepared, most importantly, if she poisons it, how can she drink the poisonous bird's nest by herself?"

Ning Yuyao frowned after hearing this. She didn't touch it when she made the bird's nest. What about before?

Xia Yuanxi's scheming is far superior to the domineering Pei Caiwei, even if she usually looks aggrieved by keeping silent in front of him, can he be deceived like this?
He thought for a while, and immediately asked Zhuo Yuan in a deep voice, "Did you take someone to Linshui Pavilion last night and found anything unusual?"
