Chapter 191 Why do you hate people in the palace?
Lin You, who was eating pastries, was almost scolded when she heard her name being called out. She could only force a dry smile and said, "I'm here to buy medicine today."
Everyone looked at the source of the voice.
The old poison master was happy the moment he saw Lin You.
The senior brother of this girl Hong Kui turned out to be the woman who could reveal her true feelings and disguise herself as a man.
Since he is Hong Kui's senior brother, he must be his apprentice.
The old poison master shamelessly came up with this idea.
[Tsk, this is going to cause trouble. I just lied to save face for Hong Kui! ]
Hearing this, the old poison master, who was about to call Lin You his apprentice, immediately changed his expression.
This palace
Isn't that what the Empress in the palace calls herself?
By the way, I seem to have called myself that once in my mind.
Humph, since she is a person in the palace, how can she be worthy of being the apprentice of his old poison master.
"Master..."
Seeing her master's expression, Hong Kui knew that he had reacted. She pulled his sleeves and wanted to take him away, but the old poison master snorted coldly and stared at her.
She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth and said: "You are so good, girl, you actually got involved with someone in the palace behind your master's back."
Hong Kui, "...Master, I didn't get involved with him, it was him..."
"Humph, my old poison master has traveled around for many years, and except Hong Kui, I have never accepted anyone else as an apprentice. May I ask who is upstairs, and dare to pretend to be my old poison master's apprentice!"
The old poison master stared coldly at Lin You upstairs.
Hong Kui panicked. "Master, he said that to save me."
She explained, but the old poison master seemed not to hear her. He just stared at Lin You fiercely, waiting for her to reply.
Seeing this, Lin You raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, [What does this old man mean? Doesn't he understand what Hong Kui said? If he doesn't, I'll tell him myself.]
[He looks like I really want to be his disciple.]
Hearing the last sentence, the old poison master's face became uglier and uglier. He almost collapsed and jumped up to scold Lin You.
Humph, there is no good person living in the palace, especially those concubines in the harem. They are more cunning than each other and very bad!
"Just now, the girl named Pan and a masked man called dozens of guards to kill Miss Hongkui. I couldn't bear it, so I lied and said that it was Miss Hongkui's senior brother who saved her, and I didn't have any intentions."
Lin You said it directly and frankly, and brought up the old things to deepen the old poison master's impression of Pan Xue.
Pan Xue, who was left aside, became the focus again. Pan Xue received the old poison master's fiery gaze and her face turned pale.
Although she and the old poison master bought medicine several times in the night market, the old poison master didn't know her at all, because she was dressed differently every time she went.
Sometimes she still asked the maid to help her buy it.
This was done to prevent the old poison master from betraying her one day. After all, she said that the poison she bought from him was used to deal with people in the palace.
In fact, many people were killed with this poison.
Pan Xue shook her head and said, "We didn't want to kill Miss Hongkui. It's just that her things hit me and we wanted her to apologize."
She couldn't provoke the old poison master, otherwise she wouldn't be able to buy high-grade poisons in the future
. What if Shen Yu found out that her poison skills were only at the low level? If
so, he would definitely feel that he had lost his value.
He would completely abandon himself.
"Humph, you obviously want to kill me." Hongkui sneered.
This woman, from the moment she saw her, she was very disgusted.
At first glance, she was a cunning and shameless person.
What happened later also proved that she was such a person.
"Ahem." The hall master cleared his throat, "I have heard about this matter from everyone. It was Miss Hongkui's things that accidentally hit Miss Pan's butt first, so Miss Pan was a little emotional and reacted a little too much, but she didn't mean to kill Miss Hongkui." After saying
this, the hall master approached the old poison master and lowered his voice, "On the contrary, the person who pretended to be your apprentice, the old poison master, doesn't look like a good person. I think he should be from the palace. You have to know that people in the palace are the best at playing tricks."
The hall master couldn't hear Lin You's inner voice and didn't know who she was, but he knew that the old poison master hated people in the palace, so he had to use this method to divert his attention from Pan Xue.
The old poison master snorted upon hearing this, "Do you need to tell me that? I have eyes."
Hall Master, "..."
"The man upstairs, what is your relationship with my disciple? When did you know him? And what is your identity?"
The old poison master stared at Lin You with a sinister look.
It looked as if he had some grudge against Lin You.
Lin You was speechless, [This damn old man, it's obvious that he wants to pick a fight with me. ]
[Speaking of the system, have I ever offended him? Why is he so hostile to me?]
Not only Lin You thought so, Shen Jing'an had the same idea as her.
The old poison master's behavior was indeed a bit strange.
The system checked and said, [Host, you haven't offended this old man, but this old man hates people in the palace. He should have guessed your identity, so he wants to pick a fight with you. 】
Lin You raised his eyebrows, [Why does he hate people in the palace?]
[Hehe, this is a big news!]
The system's sneaky laughter entered the old poison master's ears, and the old poison master's body shook violently.
What kind of stuff does this imperial concubine have? How could she know so much?
Hearing that the old poison master had a big news, everyone pricked up their ears, even Hong Kui couldn't help but secretly listen.
She had always wondered why the master hated people in the palace, and she had asked him before, but the master was always mean to her and didn't explain it to her clearly.
This time she had a chance to find out, so she naturally wanted to listen carefully.
The most excited one among them was Doctor You.
Haha!
As the saying goes, things change over time. The old poison master just laughed at him, but now it's his turn to laugh, haha!
[Hehe, the old poison master's big news is related to the Queen Mother. ]
Whenever it comes to big news, the system likes to whet people's appetite.
As soon as Lin You heard that this news was related to the Queen Mother, he almost jumped up in excitement.
He didn't notice that Shen Jingan's handsome face changed color.
Some people who heard the inner voice were also shocked to the point that their eyes almost fell out.
Damn, my God!
The old poison master actually had a connection with the current Queen Mother.
This is a shocking big news!
What kind of news could it be? Love or enemies?
While everyone was thinking, the voice of the system rang out.
[When the old poison master was young, he was rescued from the river by the Queen Mother. Because he was only wearing a pair of underwear at the time, he thought that the Queen Mother had seen him naked and that he was the Queen Mother's man, so he followed the Queen Mother wherever she went. ]
[At that time, in order to get rid of him, the Queen Mother tricked him into drinking a knockout drug and he passed out. When he woke up, the Queen Mother was gone. ]
[He searched hard and finally found her a year later, but he saw her on the day of the Queen Mother and the late emperor's wedding. ]
