Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 388 Poisoning
Three days later, Jingning and Wanxi appeared together in the Silk Silk Pavilion store.Silk Pavilion is a first-class fabric shop in Kyoto, the guests who come here are either rich or expensive, ordinary people cannot afford the fabrics in Silk Pavilion.

Now that the season is about to change, Jing Ning thought about buying some fabrics to add some clothes to the people in Xiao's residence. Originally, she wanted to bring You Ran out, but Youran was not feeling well, so Wan Xi volunteered to follow her.

Jing Ning looked at Wanxi's back picking up the fabric, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"This dress is pretty good. I'll try it out." After touching a few pieces of fabric, Wanxi suddenly caught a glimpse of a lake-blue dress, her eyes lit up, and she asked the shopkeeper to take it off.

"Miss, let's change to another one. This dress is made for Princess Lu Lu, and others may not try it on." The shopkeeper's face was a bit troubled.

Jing Ning glanced at the shopkeeper meaningfully, how could it be such a coincidence that she just happened to pick up Princess Lu Lu's dress?Besides, although the shopkeeper was respectful on the surface, his words were obviously negligent and tactful, flattering Princess Lu Lu.This is the shopkeeper of Silk Silk Pavilion, how could he speak so rudely?It seems that this is the person arranged by Princess Lu Lu.

Sure enough, Wanxi's face froze when she heard the words, and the smile on her lips was also very unnatural.She glanced at the dress greedily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Shopkeeper, just take it off and let me try it. Look at the waist of this dress, I'm afraid Princess Lu Lu can't fit it?"

Jing Ning raised her eyebrows, this woman is really courageous, she dared to say that about Princess Lu Lu behind her back.Everyone in the capital doesn't know that Princess Lu Lu hates others talking about her appearance and figure the most.

I still remember that the wife of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites accidentally said a few words too much, but she was dismissed and returned to her natal family in a few days, and suddenly died of an inexplicable illness a month later.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. After all, this is a tailor-made dress for Concubine Lu. If Concubine Lu finds out that I'm showing it to you, I'm afraid I won't have to open this silk pavilion." The shopkeeper's expression became more and more embarrassed, But there was peace in his eyes.

Jing Ning had a panoramic view of everything, but remained silent. Three days ago, she received a letter from Princess Lu Lu, asking her to bring Wanxi to the Silk Silk Pavilion to pick out fabrics this morning. All of this was obviously arranged by Princess Lu Lu All right, she just wants to watch the show.

A bit of impatience flashed between Wanxi's eyebrows and eyes, and she scolded softly: "You don't understand the words, do you? I told you I want to try on that dress, so just show it to me. Why do you want to use Princess Lu Lu to suppress me?"

"Oh? It sounds like I can't hold you back anymore?" A slightly indifferent voice sounded behind Wanxi.

Wanxi's face turned pale, and she turned around tremblingly, facing Princess Lu Lu, who was not in a very good complexion.

Seeing this, Jing Ning took a step forward, and said in a gentle voice, "Concubine Lu, don't be angry, it was Wanxi who offended you, hurry up and apologize to Princess Lu!" The last sentence was addressed to Wanxi, and Jing Ning frowned. Xiang Wanxi, although anxious on the face, had a hint of indifference in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Wanxi quickly fell to her knees and said in a trembling voice: "Princess Lu, your lord has a lot, don't bother with me, I don't care!"

"Wuxin? I just heard you say that my waist can't fit into that skirt." Princess Lu Lu snorted coldly, obviously annoyed.

Wanxi panicked for a moment, and her complexion became even paler.She looked at Princess Lu Lu at a loss, her eyes were somewhat empty.

Seeing this, Princess Lu Lu bent a strange smile, she slowly approached Wanxi, reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up.

"Concubine Lu, please forgive me..." Wanxi trembled all over, her eyes full of fear.

Suddenly, Princess Lu Lu's complexion changed, and a smear of blood spilled from her lips.

"How dare you poison me!" Princess Lu Lu took a few steps back, but fortunately she was supported by the accompanying maid so she didn't fall down.Jing Ning was shocked when she saw this, and quickly walked to Princess Lu Lu to support her. Princess Lu Lu gently squeezed Jing Ning's hand while no one was paying attention, Jing Ning was relieved, but in her heart Still a little nervous, how could this good thing be poisoned?
Wanxi was completely frightened, she waved her hands again and again, and said to herself: "It's not me! I don't know what's going on! It's not me!"

"Don't arrest her yet!" Princess Lu Lu pointed at Wanxi, and the servants on the side immediately restrained her.Wanxi's face was terrified, and as soon as she spoke, she saw Princess Lu Lu fainted, and now Jingning couldn't hold back any longer.

"Send Concubine Lu to a nearby medical clinic, and tell Lord Lu about this quickly!" Jing Ning looked at the attendants beside him, his expression tinged with anxiety.At the moment, she is not at all sure whether it is Princess Lu Lu's intention or an accident.After all, no one would take their own life as a joke.

Everyone was in a hurry, but fortunately Jing Ning directed them, so there was no chaos.

An hour later, Princess Lu Lu, who was lying on the bed, woke up leisurely, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Prince Lu with a worried expression.

"How do you feel?" Prince Lu asked in a deep voice, with anger flashing in his eyes.

He was originally discussing matters with others in the mansion, but he never expected to receive the news that Princess Lu Lu was poisoned, so he immediately brought the doctors from the mansion to the clinic.Fortunately, the poison in Princess Lu Lu's body was not very poisonous, and it was not life-threatening.

"I'm exhausted, but fortunately Jingning sent it in time, otherwise I'm afraid I'll kill that femme fatale!" Princess Lu Lu's eyes turned red, her face was very aggrieved.

Lord Lu had already thought about this matter in his heart, but when he heard what Princess Lu Lu said, his expression immediately darkened, and he ordered his servants to bring Wanxi up.

As soon as Wanxi came in, she knelt down on the ground, her body was trembling, and her face was very flustered.

"My lord, spare me! I really don't know what's going on, how dare I poison Princess Lu? It must have been an accident!" Wanxi's eyes were full of horror, and Lord Lu was someone she couldn't afford to offend. Although she was sent to the general's mansion by the emperor, just a word from Prince Lu can kill her.

"You're talking nonsense! You clearly poisoned me because of that dress! You have some poison on your face, and when I touch it, I feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and fatigue."

Upon hearing the words, Prince Lu immediately squinted his eyes at Wanxi, and said solemnly to the doctor beside him, "Go and see her face."

Wanxi wanted to resist, but she was restrained by the attendants at the side, unable to move at all, so she had to let the doctor move on her face.The doctor took out a silver needle and gently stroked it across different parts of Wanxi's face, and then the silver needle turned black.

Wanxi's face was full of disbelief, she shook her head desperately and said sharply: "It's not me! It's not me! Someone framed me!" Then she looked at Jing Ning who had been silent all this time, her eyes were very resentful.

"It's you! You can't see me staying in the general's mansion, so you deliberately framed me, don't you! You vicious woman! I curse you to die!" Wanxi stared straight at Jing Ning, her eyes seemed to want to It's like swallowing Jingning alive.
