"Don't move. The knife in my hand doesn't recognize people. If I accidentally cut your neck, not even the miracle doctor can save you." Shen Lian said these words lightly, even in a gentle tone. Rou. It seems that what she is saying is not these threatening words, but some of the most ordinary words. "Tell me everything you know, otherwise I can't guarantee whether you can walk out of this door."
The palace maid was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground. Even so, she stood there with her legs shaking uncontrollably. There were only two possibilities for her in front of her. One was that she was indeed She didn't know martial arts, so she was very frightened; on the other hand, her acting skills were so superb that Shen Lian couldn't tell the difference for the time being.
I hope she is the former, not the latter.
"Then do you want to say it or not? My patience is not good." Finally, the palace maid nodded. She was still so young and didn't want to die. And this Luan Fei Empress was too scary. She actually had something like this in her hands. There was a long knife beside her. She really didn't know what happened before, so she didn't understand what was going on.
She could only vaguely feel that the empress might have offended the emperor and was grounded. As for Shen Lian, no matter what she was thinking, she asked directly. "Answer the question I just asked, in my palace, the former Where have all the people gone?”
The palace maid thought for a while, then shook her head. "My dear, I really don't know. I only know that I was taken away by the internal officials." As for where they were taken and how they are doing now, she really doesn't know.
Shen Lian saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so she continued to ask, "So, do you know how the emperor is doing lately? Is there any health problem?" She wanted to know about Xiao Bi's current situation.
However, how could a little maid know about the emperor's situation? Therefore, Shen Lian's questions were in vain, and in the end she had no choice but to let her go. Anyway, she couldn't ask anything useful from her mouth. No. Let her go, why don't they keep her here and chat together? Shen Lian wanted to eat the food in front of her, but she picked up the chopsticks and stopped again.
There wouldn't be any drugs in these dishes. She wasn't worried about whether they would be poisonous. She knew there wouldn't be any, and Xiao Bi wouldn't want her to die. But as for the other drugs, It’s hard to say.
It's like drugging her, or a drug that temporarily makes her unable to perform her exercises, a drug that makes her limbs weak, etc. These are all very possible things, but Shen Lian can't go without eating or drinking. If she continues to be so hungry, Sooner or later, her hands and feet will become weak from hunger, and she will be taken away by force. So what to do? Shen Lian thought about it and came up with an idea.
"Is there anyone?"
After a while, a young man who looked like a guard came in. He saluted Shen Lian respectfully. "My queen, I'm here, what can I do for you?"
It would be better if it was the palace maid just now. However, although the person in front of me is good at martial arts, he is far inferior to her. Let's just make peace with her. Who told her to let the person go just now? The same goes for Shen Lian He only thought of this method after the palace maid left. It seems that today, he can only let him try it first.
If there is anything wrong with this meal, wouldn't it be helpful to find someone to try it? Shen Lian felt that she was too smart, so she waved to the guard to come closer.
The guard took a few steps closer to Shen Lian without doubt, and then stopped three or four steps away from her. Shen Lian looked at such a close distance and thought it was okay. So she suddenly got angry and quickly Very quickly. When the guard reacted, he found that he had been restrained by her knife. Now, he did not dare to move.
Because if he moved, his neck might be cut open by the long black knife. He had heard of Luan Fei's martial arts. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly.
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to let me go. Even if you are willing to let me go, other people outside won't let me leave. So, I just want you to do a small thing."
The guard carefully glanced at the knife beside his neck, and then looked at Shen Lian, who was standing with a smile on his side. "I don't know, what are your orders?" As long as she doesn't want his life, that's fine. Just a little thing. , he should be able to do it.
Next, she took a chopstick of each dish on the table and put it into the bowl. Then, she pushed the bowl towards the guard. "Eat, eat all these, and you can Let's go." Seeing him standing there, seemingly hesitant, Shen Lian added, "If you don't want to eat, don't leave here today. I just don't know, the emperor knows that you, a grown man, are staying in my inner palace. What will happen after one night..."
What will happen? The guards looked at Shen Lian pitifully. Although they were ordered to stay here, he is a grown man after all. And the woman in front of him is the emperor's wife and concubine. What if he stayed in this inner palace? Last night, he felt that he would be dead tomorrow morning. Maybe he wouldn't be able to wait until tomorrow morning.
Therefore, he could only act as a little eunuch who tasted the food, and tasted the dishes one by one for Concubine Luan. And not only that, as long as it was the dishes on the table, Shen Lian would let him eat them first. For example, deliberately pinching Pick up a piece of food and put it in the empty bowls. Then, let him eat the food. After eating, he stood there while Shen Lian watched to see if there was anything unusual about him.
After about two cups of tea, Shen Lian finally felt at ease and motioned for him to step back. Then, she began to use the food with confidence. Although the bowls and chopsticks had been used by others, she didn't mind either. It's just that She took out a clean handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the dishes with it. Then she finished the rest of the meal with confidence.
After the guard went out for a long time, his legs and feet were still soft. He finally understood why Concubine Luan did this. She was worried that someone would put medicine in her food, right? So she just, Let him try it first before using it safely. He was thinking, I hope no one in this palace wants to kill Concubine Luan, otherwise he will be the first to be buried with her.
In the next two days, Shen Lian found different people to try out all the food and drinks. On the first day, it was the poor guard, and on the second day, it was the maid who delivered the food. Later, as long as it was anyone around her, , she caught them all and tasted them first.
Of course, someone had reported her situation a long time ago. When Xiao Bi heard these things, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth a few times, put his forehead on his hands and sighed. Luan Fei was really on guard against him, and she was so upright on guard. He did think so, but quickly gave up the idea. However, being so guarded by Luan Fei made Xiao Bi feel a little uncomfortable.
Now she doesn't believe him anymore, does she?
After leaving that day, Xiao Bi never came to her palace again, and she was also imprisoned in this palace. Anyway, as long as she stayed in the palace and did not go to Tingshan, this first step was completed. .
Shen Lian thought to herself that after completing the first step, she would have to find a way to get closer to Xiao Bi. Or, let him change his mind and take the initiative to see her and tell her the truth. At that time, she could use the solution in her hand Let him take the medicine. As long as he takes the antidote and exercises his energy, he can force the toxins out of his body. As soon as the poison in his body is detoxified, the problem between them will be solved.
But ideals are beautiful, but reality is often cruel. For example, Shen Lian was thinking so well at the moment, but the troublemaker came the next day. She was under house arrest and could not get out of the palace, but someone else came in. .For example, the person in front of her now is a young woman who is dressed up and looks like a butterfly.
Judging from her dress and decoration, she is obviously a concubine. Moreover, she can get in here, and her status is probably not low. What is she doing here? In Luan Fei's memory, he doesn't know much about the woman in front of him. Duo. It seems that Mrs. Jin was the most favored concubine before Luan Fei entered the palace. But after Luan Fei entered the palace, Mrs. Jin fell out of favor.
But even so, in this harem, besides Luan Fei, Mrs. Jin has the highest status. Moreover, her family does not seem to be simple, she is a daughter of a famous family. However, her dressing taste is Shen Lian But I beg to differ. Dressed up like a butterfly, is this a concubine from the harem or a famous prostitute from a brothel?
Perhaps sensing the obvious contempt in Shen Lian's eyes, Mrs. Jin became angry. Originally, she had never dealt with Luan Fei, but due to the fact that his status was higher than hers, Mrs. Jin could only make sarcastic remarks when they occasionally met. Ichiban. Now, after a lot of effort, Luan Fei has fallen out of favor. It is impossible for her not to step on him.
So, she sent someone here and bribed the guards here to let her in. She came in deliberately to scold the disgraced concubine Luan in front of her. Finally it was the emperor's turn to get tired of her. Huh, what's the big deal? .Now, not only has she fallen out of favor, but she has also been imprisoned here by the emperor's guards. I heard that if she hadn't been forced to die, she would have been demoted to Tingshan by the emperor.
I heard that the emperor wanted to imprison her for ten years. Even if she could come out by then, she would already be old and had passed the best time of a woman's life. Therefore, Mrs. Jin expected that there would be no chance of her turning around this time. . At this time, how long will it take to beat the drowned dog? If she is demoted to Tingshan soon, Mrs. Jin thinks that she will not be able to see anyone.
At this moment, when he saw the contempt for him in her eyes, he couldn't help but get angry. Why was she still looking down at her so high up? Mrs. Jin's beautiful and voluptuous face looked a bit more ferocious at this moment. "Fei Luan , until now, you are still so arrogant and arrogant. It is a pity that you have fallen out of favor and been rejected by the emperor. If you continue to do this, you will not be able to cover up your loss of power."
Shen Lian looked at the woman in front of her, playing tricks and tricks in front of her, and couldn't help but sneered. "You also know that I am still Concubine Luan. In this harem, there is no queen now, only the concubine of this palace. The position is the highest. A lady who dares to put on airs in front of me is really desperate."
Mrs. Jin was so angry at her last desperate words that she gritted her teeth and wanted to scratch her face with her sharp nails. However, Mrs. Jin also knew that Concubine Luan was very powerful in martial arts. This was no longer a secret in the palace.
