Chapter 546: Poison in tea?

“Auntie, that surname Qin is not a good thing. We really want to go. If they take someone to ambush in it, are there too few of us?” Sitting on the carriage, Lao Fang Said with some worry.
Li Yi didn’t know why Qin Xiang invited him to the Qin Mansion for the time being, whether it was a Hongmen banquet, or what other purpose. After receiving the invitation from the prime minister, he always wanted to see it.
As for Qin Xiang’s open invitation, there is no need to worry about safety.
If there is anything, I am afraid that he is the more troublesome party.
Just in case, I originally wanted Miss Liu Er to accompany her, but she has been really busy recently, and Ruyi’s identity is a little inappropriate, so think about it and bring Lao Fang over.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Qin’s mansion. Li Yi got down from above, waved his hand and said, “Okay, you can find a place outside and wait, nothing will happen.”
An envoy from the Qin Mansion has already welcomed him and asked respectfully, “But Uncle Li Xian?”
Li Yi handed over the post in his hand. After the person read it, he immediately said, “Uncle Li, please, Master is waiting for you inside.”
The attitude of Qin’s subordinates surprised Li Yi a little. It seems that today is not what he imagined.
After all, the little grandpa of the Qin family has a deep grievance with him. A few days ago, he accidentally cheated him a little bit. The Qin family really wanted to trouble him because of these things, and it was reasonable. Among.
Lao Fang and a few guards were sitting under a big tree on the opposite side, their eyes gazed at the Qin Mansion from time to time.
Li Yi was led by his subordinate, walking through Qin’s mansion, and also looking at everything around him.
Qin’s Mansion is not what he imagined. Although it is still beyond the reach of ordinary people in terms of scale and other aspects, it still seems a bit simple for a prime minister who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people.
There were not many servants who met on the road. They were just doing things silently. They looked a little lifeless. They looked like their own ones. Although they didn’t work less, they were always chattering all day. There was no maid. It should be the only one in this Kyoto city.
“Big Brother Liu’s words are too biased. Who says that women enjoy leisure, men go to the border in war, women spin at home, go farming during the day, spin cotton at night, and work hard day and night…”
There was a voice coming from the front. I didn’t expect that some people in the Qin Mansion would like to listen to the drama. It was actually “Mulan”. Li Yi saw a middle-aged man who seemed to be familiar with coming from the front, humming this paragraph. It’s all in the tune, and there are some basic skills, presumably listening to the opera all year round.
Li Yi didn’t remember until he saw the man walking behind him, “Oh, the fifth master of the Qin family.”
The guy was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Yi, then his face quickly returned to normal, and he followed the middle-aged man and passed Li Yi.
The middle-aged man took a few steps, then suddenly turned around, pointed at Li Yi, and asked the man, “Who is this person, why hasn’t he seen it before?”
The person hurriedly replied, “Going back to the fifth master, this is Li Yi Li County uncle, the master’s guest, the master is still waiting, we will pass first.”
The fifth master of the Qin family was startled, and the master in the population was naturally his father.
However, there are a lot of guests at home on weekdays, but almost all of them actively visit. As a father, it is naturally impossible to visit others, but in fact, he personally invites very few.
He was puzzled for a while, and then he realized another thing, “Li Yi, Uncle Li Xian?”
He froze for a moment, looked at the man with some uncertainty and asked, “He just said, Li Yi, Uncle Li Xian?”
The man nodded and said, “Exactly.”
“Walk around, go back and have a look.” Qin Family Fifth Master showed an excited smile on his face, turned and walked in the direction he came.
“Wuye won’t go to the theatre today?” The big man asked suspiciously.
“Will you go out to listen to some drama? Isn’t there a ready-made one at home? By the way, is His Royal Highness Shu in the young master’s room now… Oh, yes, the house is lively today.”
Looking at the fifth master striding forward, the man scratched his head, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, then he shook his head and quickly followed.
Qin Mansion doesn’t seem to be very big, at least it is much smaller than Li Xuan’s Shizi Mansion.
Li Yi guessed that it was only three to five minutes later. Then the people took him outside a hall, walked in and said, “Master, Li Xianbo is here.”
This person is also surprised at this time. There are guests who come to the house on weekdays. They are waiting for the master, and His Royal Highness is no exception. Like today’s situation, it is extremely rare.
Li Yi walked in and saw an old man with gray hair sitting on the main seat, wearing a plain Confucian robe, just like the Qin Xiang he had seen before.
“The younger generation has seen Qin Xiang.” Even though the few meetings between him and Qin Xiang are not harmonious, the etiquette is still indispensable.
The reason why he calls himself a “junior” rather than a “junior official” is because the academy is directly under the jurisdiction of the old emperor, and even the prime minister has no right to intervene. In fact, he has no relationship with the officials in the DPRK.
“Sit.” Qin Xiang stretched out his hand and said very simply.
There is a low table between the two chairs. Li Yi can’t always sit down, shouting and talking. After looking at Qin Xiang, he sits on the other chair.
“The old man invited you over today. I think you were also surprised, right?” Qin Xiang looked at Li Yi and spoke straightforwardly.
“It was indeed a bit unexpected.” Li Yi nodded and said.
“Go to tea.” Qin Xiang smiled unusually, as if he was not in a hurry to enter the subject~IndoMTL.com~ After beckoning to the door, Qin’s maid came in from the door.
“This tea is originally from Songzhou, and it was given by your majesty. It is the best in tribute tea. You can’t taste it on weekdays.” Qin Xiang was actually interested in introducing tea, which made Li Yi more puzzled, no Know what medicine he sells in the gourd.
However, he was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: “In that case, today is a blessing.”
The maid who poured the tea carefully brought a cup of tea to Qin Xiang and the other to Li Yi. Her hands trembled slightly, causing the cup lid to collide with the cup body, making a clinking sound.
When Li Yi saw this, he immediately became vigilant. He just poured tea and was so scared. Could it be that the tea is poisonous?
He looked up at the maid and found that her face was still covered with a layer of tulle…
Is it—the masked assassin?
Li Yi thought this way. When one hand was already supporting the chair, Qin Xiang frowned and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”
“Old, sir, I, I am a little unwell.” The maid said in a shaky voice.
When Qin Xiang heard the words, his face eased, and he said: “Since you are not feeling well, go back to your room and rest. Tell the housekeeper and let him come over.”
At this time, Li Yi’s face had returned to calm, stood up, smiled and said: “I’m really sorry, I suddenly felt a little urgent, I don’t know…”
At the present occasion, I am afraid that the matter is not suitable for speaking out directly. Qin Xiang’s teacup has been picked up, and he put it down after hearing the words, and said: “People have three urgency, we might as well…”
Then looked at the maid again and said: “You take Uncle Li Xian first.”
Li Yi smiled apologetically and walked out slowly. The maid put down the tray and walked out behind him, her fists clenched, her complexion indescribable under the tulle.
