MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 27 antidote
In the front hall, drink and feast.
After Liu Xiu drank again, he finally got out. Looking back, he saw that Zhao Ji, who was supposed to be sitting beside him, had already left the table without knowing when. Before he could think about it, he subconsciously looked towards Liu Anzhi, which was just as empty.
There was a strange feeling in his heart, both worried and inexplicable, and he couldn't help but summon the servant maid, and whispered: "Go and see how the queen is and whether she has returned to the bedroom."
The maid led the order, but no one was found in the bedroom, so she had to report: "Your Majesty, the queen did not return to the room, and the maid was not found."
Liu Yu frowned when she heard the words, worry and suffocation intertwined in her heart. At this time, it was dark and she didn't go back to the house, where would she go?
He was about to order another person to look for another place in the palace, but suddenly a maid outside the palace rushed in in a panic, and was blocked by the servants. In the panic, she saw that she could not enter, so she raised her voice and shouted, trying to attract everyone's attention: "Your Majesty, the maid saw with her own eyes that the queen-queen met a man privately in the palace, and wanted to have sex!"
For a time, the chatter, laughter, music, singing and dancing in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone was surprised. Dozens of hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the sound, visiting back and forth between Liu Yu and the maid, either curious, suspicious, or gloating.
Especially in Zhen Ding's party, Liu Yanshou and Zheng Xu looked at each other, and they were ignored and neglected for a long time in the letter, and they finally had to see Liu Yu's joke again, only to feel happy.
Liu Yu's usual calm and gentle expression finally broke, and he got up from his seat with a gloomy face, and said angrily, "Block her mouth, take it off and put it on immediately!"
Several attendants outside the door and the healthy woman came up in response, and in three or five times, they tied the maid with her backhand, stuffed the sackcloth in her mouth, and escorted him into the hall.
Liu Xiu narrowed her eyes slightly, and through the bright lights in the palace, she could see clearly that this woman was not a servant girl who was resident in the palace. His complexion became more and more sinking, and since he was not from the palace, he probably didn't speak falsely.
The maid was in full view, struggling at first, but calmed down after a while.
Hundreds of thoughts flashed through Liu Xiu's heart, and the hand in his sleeve couldn't help clenching secretly, and asked coldly, "Slandering the queen is a big sin, who made you do this?"
No matter what the facts are, at this moment, he and Zhao Ji are really one in the eyes of everyone. This woman's words have damaged Zhao Ji's reputation, and he is also disgraced.
The woman's mouth was blocked, and she shook her head in a panic, making two "woohoo" sounds. The attendant stepped forward and took out the sackcloth, and she said, "Your Majesty, the maid does not dare to speak falsely! No one has instructed, all the concubine saw it with her own eyes!"
Liu Xiu's eyes were condensed, and he couldn't have any seizures, and his face was expressionless: "Where?"
The maid was eager to prove what she said, and hurriedly said: "It's in the Muhua Hall, the king can check it out!"
Liu Yu pursed his lips and said nothing, only raised his eyes and gave a slight wink at where Guo Qu was. Guo Qu was very keen. As early as when there was a change in the hall, he hid in a dark place before everyone noticed. At this time, all Liu Yu winked, immediately understood, and quietly walked out of the hall before everyone else.
Seeing this, the others held their breaths, watching without saying a word. Only Liu Yanshou pretended to persuade: "Since it's what I said with my own eyes, it's better to go check it out in person. If it's false, it's better to prove the queen's innocence."
Liu Yu's eyes were sharp, while estimating the time in his heart, he said to the maid Sen Han: "Do you know that if what you said is false, you will be tattooed?"
Seeing that he was not as furious as she had expected, the maid immediately checked, she couldn't help shaking, but after thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but strengthen her courage again, and said loudly: "If you lie to the king, you are willing to be punished!"
Tattooing is torture, that is, carving words on the face with a knife, and then smearing it with carbon black, so that it will never fade away.
Everyone listened to her vows, and it didn't seem like a fake.
Nowadays, people are arrogant and fierce, and women are less restrained. If it is common to divorce, remarry, etc., it is not enough, but Zhao Ji, as a queen, is blatantly misbehaving. .
Liu Xiu calmly forgot to glance at the empty seat on the left, his heart sank again, and he stared at the dark night outside the door, as if thinking. Until outside the door, the attendant who returned silently nodded at him indistinctly, and he was secretly relieved.
In his eyes, he hurried down the steps and said solemnly: "Gu Ping is the most unhappy person in his life. If you say this, you will not regret it." After that, he didn't give her a chance to speak, and went straight to the Muhua Hall. .
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and wanted to go to see what happened, but Liu Yanshou and Zheng Xu, who did not dare to keep up with them, said, "The two of you just now said that you want to return the queen's innocence, so you might as well go together."
Liu Yanshou and Zheng Xu faced him with expressionless, deep and terrifying looks. For some reason, they felt guilty and uneasy, and got up and followed with a smirk.
Although the Muhua Hall is not far from here, there are few people, only the maid and puppet do things. Now everyone is close, but when the doors and windows are closed, they can see the fluorescent lights. Obviously, there are people inside.
Everyone's thoughts were different, and they all looked at Liu Yu, waiting for him to break through the door.
Outside the hall, Liu Xiu clenched his hands tightly, stopped and ordered the maid to carry the lantern forward, but he did not move.
Rao Shicai has quietly sent someone to come, and he is still apprehensive, for fear that he will see the scene he does not want to see.
The maid knocked on the door lightly and called, "The king is here, can the queen be in?"
There was silence outside the house, and a dozen people held their breaths, waiting for an answer.
Footsteps came from inside the house, and the two maids pushed open the hidden door and stepped out. They bowed in unison and said, "The queen was drunk and accidentally sprained when she returned to the house. Fortunately, she met Prince Zhending and called her maids. The queen is resting in the palace today."
Saying that, the second maid stepped aside to let everyone see the situation in the house.
There is a screen in the middle of the house, and there is a single couch in front. On the couch, there is a delicate beauty, who is Zhao Ji.
She is still dressed in the lotus-colored robe that she had just attended the banquet, neatly dressed, with one hand on her forehead and the other on her ankle, her pink face is full of spring, her eyes are drooping, her eyes are misty, her red lips are lightly bitten, and her temples are covered in sweat. The deputy is holding back the pain in the ankle.
At the two battle positions next to the couch, the tall and handsome young man in the robe of the Crown Prince was not Liu An, but who else could it be?
Although the two were in the same room, they were all neatly dressed, and there was no abnormality at all, and there was even a maid, so what was wrong?
Liu Yu pursed his lips and said nothing, and moved his eyes slightly away.
"How could it be? Impossible!" The maid who had just reported on it was horrified. She clearly remembered that the man had entered as planned, and the queen had also been drugged. lie here?
Not to mention her, Zheng Donglan, who followed quietly, was also shocked and stunned, looking at Liu An in disbelief, unable to figure out how such a big mistake could have happened in the early morning.
The handmaiden was about to rush in, but she heard Liu Yu's order: "Drag down, keep your mouth shut, and get a tattoo."
The attendant stepped up, captured him, and put the sackcloth into his mouth and took him away.
Zheng Donglan could not have imagined that Liu Yu, who has always been kind, would be so merciless, her body stiffened with fright, and when she caught a glimpse of Liu An in the room looking over, her eyes were full of seriousness and scrutiny.
Looking at Liu Yanshou and Zheng Xu again, how did these two think that Liu An would also be involved? Of course he didn't dare to say more.
Liu Yanshou winked at Liu An and ordered him to leave the hall quickly, but Zheng Xu scolded: "It was a misunderstanding, but it's better to check it with my own eyes, and it just returned the queen's innocence."
The rest of the people waited to see the matter and did not dare to stay for long, so they dispersed.
Liu Yanshou and others also wanted to take advantage of Liu Yu's ignorance and leave with the others, but unexpectedly, they only took a few steps and were stopped by Liu Yu's men: "It's getting late, please wait, Wang, and rest in the palace today."
After all, Liu Yanshou and Zheng Xu were stunned and stunned, and the guards asked them to take a rest in the empty hall next to them.
…
In the Mu Hua Hall, several people worked together to drag the fainted man hiding behind the screen out, and Guo Qu quickly reported the situation to Liu Yu.
It turned out that the fainted person wanted to do bad things to Zhao Ji, but fortunately, Prince Zhending appeared in time. When Guo Qu, just now, led someone to arrive, Zhao Ji was unconscious, and Liu Anfang stunned the gangster.
He hurriedly ordered his maid to tidy up Zhao Ji's appearance, and at the same time worked with Liu An to hide the bandit behind the screen, so that everything was sorted out before the crowd arrived.
Liu Yu was furious, his eyes were red, he raised his foot and kicked the bad guy heavily, wishing he could draw his sword on the spot and kill him. After a long while, he restrained his emotions and ordered the person to be taken away, strictly guarded, and carefully questioned. This man was dressed as a cook, as if he was sneaking in and sneaking into the inner court.
As for King Zhending, his intuition should be inseparable from this matter, otherwise, how could Liu An just appear here?
"Your Majesty..." The man on the couch murmured softly, as if the pain was unbearable.
Liu Yu sat on the edge of the couch, thinking that she had really sprained her ankle, so she asked softly, "How's the injury? Do you need a medical worker?"
His eyes wandered, and he saw her frowning brows, her cheeks with affection, and a little bit of water in her eyes, like weeping but not weeping. , A little bruise, actually finger pinch marks!
His heart tightened, his hands trembled slightly, and he carefully opened her collar, stroking the reddish fingerprints.
It was just this action that made Ah Shu feel like she was in a hot oil pan.
"The hangover soup—" A Shu's eyes were already filled with tears due to the painful burning sensation, "I'm really... hot and uncomfortable..."
Her words were confused, she couldn't restrain herself, she trembled slightly, only to feel a layer of tiny particles standing up on the neck due to the ten fingers that had been caressed, like the rain after a long drought, making her eager for something. Hold his hand and press his face tightly: "Hurry up and help me..."
Liu Yu was stunned, his heart skipping a beat. Zhao Ji looks like this, how can he not understand? She was clearly being given that kind of pickled medicine to make such a wild and charming act.
He only felt the blood boil all over his body, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, unable to control the intertwined contradictions and desires in his heart, he stretched out his hand and picked him up from the couch, turned around and was about to leave for the bedroom.
However, just as he was about to walk out anxiously, he saw Guo Qu leaving and returning, hurriedly returning, holding a small pottery bottle in his hand, and presenting it: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has just ordered someone to present this thing. Queen's Poison."
