Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 290 Waiting for an Opportunity to Poison
The little novice was talking to Shang Kelan, but Shang Kelan's eyes flickered when he heard it, and he didn't answer, but asked: "Your Majesty? Is the Empress that the little master mentioned is Zhao?"

"Exactly."

The little novice replied: "Several people, please come into the temple to talk."

There is a scent of incense in Yunlai Temple, full of Buddhist culture.

It's just that as soon as the little novice finished speaking, a woman in red came lightly.

"Concubine Chen, it's a bit late for you to arrive. The concubine has already finished worshiping Buddha, so I'm going back to the palace now."

Zhao Kehan ​​smiled and talked to Shang Kelan, but he couldn't stop the good mood in his voice.

Everyone looked up at her and saluted her.

Shang Kelan looked at her with a smile and said: "Concubine Jia is safe and sound, so I am relieved. His Majesty sent someone to protect this palace and return to the palace. Concubine Jia will go with me."

At this time, a monk with white eyebrows came out.

He handed Concubine Jia a small white porcelain bottle and reminded: "Msg Concubine Jia, you forgot your things."

Concubine Jia was taken aback for a moment, then took it over and smiled: "Thank you, Master Yunqing."

Master Yun Qing?

Even if Shang Kelan didn't burn incense and worship Buddha, he had heard about this man's dharma name from others.

It happened that Yun Qing looked over at this time, and Shang Kelan nodded to him.

Master Yun Qing's eyes flickered, and he said, "Several benefactors, be careful on the road."

As soon as the words fell, he saluted the Buddhist rituals to several people, then turned and went in.

After watching his back for a while, Shang Kelan said to several people: "Let's go back too."

"Yes, madam!"

Everyone responded, and on the way back, Concubine Jia was with Shang Kelan.

But there was only one carriage left, so Concubine Jia and Shang Kelan rode together.

On the way back, Fupu cleared the way in front of the carriage, while Xinrui and Zhizi waited on them on both sides of the carriage.

In the palace, interested parties have already received the news of whether Shang Kelan is dead or alive.

In Changle Palace, after hearing the report from Calligraphy and Painting, Zhao Kexi slammed the table and pointed at her, angrily said: "What did you say? Those who were responsible for the assassination were wiped out and all died?"

The body trembled uncontrollably, and Shuhua bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Yes, empress, there are masters following Concubine Chen, after they all fought all the way, only two or three people escaped."

Hearing this, Zhao Kexi's face became extremely ugly, and he only said: "Get rid of those killers immediately, and don't leave any clues about me!"

"Yes, madam!"

She was so nervous about this matter, calligraphy and painting did not dare to neglect.

It's just that after the painting and calligraphy retreated, she couldn't sit still in the bedroom no matter what, but now that His Majesty has grounded her again, she can't go anywhere now.

Starting from Yunlai Temple, Shang Kelan learned that Concubine Jia had arrived here two hours earlier than her.

What Concubine Jia spent the two hours, no one knew.

In the carriage, Concubine Jia drank tea calmly. She didn't know what happened, but she always felt that her complexion had changed, and her appearance became more beautiful.

The white veil covering the face was removed by Concubine Jia at some point.

From Zhejiang to the capital, we pass through a small county with a rather high terrain.

There is an official road in this county that is arranged on a cliff, which is prone to accidents, Shang Kelan deliberately bypassed it.

But Concubine Jia insisted on passing by here.

Before setting off on the road, Fupu began to persuade: "Miss Jiafei, the road ahead is dangerous, if something happens to you and Concubine Chen, how can this servant explain to Your Majesty!"

Besides, Jin Yantang will definitely chop off his head because of his anger!
Concubine Jia said indifferently: "It's just a mountain road, I don't believe that I can't walk through it."

As she said that, she insisted on letting people walk this mountain road. During the period, she lifted the curtain of the car and said to Xinrui: "Xinrui, I'm thirsty, bring me some water."

With a flash in her eyes, Xinrui nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am."

Afterwards, Xinrui took a few steps forward and said to the coachman, "Uncle, do you have any water? Madam is thirsty."

The coachman drove with one hand while unfastening the water bag from his waist.

Taking advantage of him not taking a break, Xinrui left a golden needle as long as a finger on the carriage without leaving any traces, and wanted to put it in the horse's ass.

It just so happened that Chen Yetan came over at this moment, and said, "Uncle, give me some water too, I'm thirsty too!"

After the coachman handed the water to Xinrui, he smiled embarrassedly: "Girl, there is no water. There is a tea shed not far ahead on this mountain road. You can go there to buy some water to drink."

"So that's the case, thank you uncle!"

As soon as Chen Yetan finished talking, he stroked the horse lightly, and said: "Good horse, good horse, you have to hurry up and send our mother back to the capital. If you can go back, we can all Counting on you!"

As soon as Xinrui moved the horse, Chen Yetan appeared to talk to her, which surprised Xinrui.

She tried her best not to show fear.

So after getting the water, Xinrui went back to the side of the carriage, and said to Concubine Jia: "Your Majesty, here comes the water."

Concubine Jia reached out to take it, poured it into the cup and took a sip, she seemed to be in a good mood and said to Shang Kelan: "Chenfei empress, do you want to drink some too?"

This carriage was Zhao Kehan's original one, Shang Kelan's carriage had been destroyed in the post station long ago, and it seemed that there was no tea set or anything like that in her carriage.

Shang Kelan smiled slightly: "No need, please use it, Concubine Jia."

Concubine Jia raised her eyebrows, drank by herself, and stopped talking to her.

At this time, Chen Yetan returned to Tieniu, and the two followed behind the carriage.

Glancing at Chen Yetan, Tie Niu asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What were you doing just now?"

Chen Yetan didn't seem like such an impulsive person when he stepped forward suddenly.

But Chen Yetan smiled slyly, and said to Tieniu, "Guess what I found just now?"

Tieniu asked cooperatively, "What?"

Chen Yetan took out a golden needle from his hand and looked into the carriage: "Just now, Concubine Jia's maid obviously went to escape for water to drink, but she actually went to stab the horse with this kind of thing."

After a slight pause, Tieniu became interested and asked, "What is this?"

Chen Yetan put the golden needle on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said: "There is a faint smell on it, which is quenched with poison. If it penetrates into the human body, people will go crazy, let alone increase the dose on horses. .”

It turned out to be the case.

It seems that the palace maid was instructed by Concubine Jia to do this, but Tie Niu was a little strange, and looked at Chen Yetan: "Strange, if Concubine Jia wanted to harm Concubine Chen, how could she put her own safety at risk? Don't care about it? After all, she is also in the carriage, right?"

Chen Yetan shook his head, staring at the golden needle, playing with taste: "Maybe Concubine Jia is doing this, trying to deceive people?"

Her analysis also made sense. After hearing this, Tieniu didn't speak again.

However, Chen Yetan explained again: "Don't worry, I just gave the horse another antidote while the maid was leaving, and it will be fine later."

This is the mountain road, the mountain road is rugged and steep, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the cliff.

It seems that Concubine Jia wants to put Concubine Chen to death, and since she and Concubine Chen have split into two groups from the very beginning, there is no guarantee that she did not bring out those assassins before!
