She felt that she was very tongue-tied. She shouldn't say these things at this moment. Why did she feel at a loss as soon as she saw him?
"Princess, why don't you sit down?" An Qingran came in after lifting the curtain behind her, smiled, walked in front of Dongfang Jin, winked at him behind Murong Lanxin's back, and shook her head slightly.
She had tried the purple sweet potato balls just now and found nothing wrong. The reason why she asked Murong Lanxin to come in and check was to see if the person behind this had revealed his true intentions.
But nothing happened.
This surprised An Qingran a little.
If it was really the Queen Mother who did this, then the people who came to check on the Crown Prince upon hearing that he was getting better must have been her people, so they should have acted secretly again.
So what's the problem?
Murong Lanxin behind him sat back on the couch awkwardly, but at this time, An Qingran suddenly focused, as if listening to something carefully, frowned, and the hand holding the bowl trembled a few times. Dongfang Jin immediately held it with a probing look.
Dongfang Jin also felt something was wrong at this moment. His nostrils twitched and he nodded to An Qingran: "That's the smell."
As soon as he finished speaking, An Qingran immediately turned to the door, turned around and looked at Murong Lanxin with a smile: "Princess, there is something I don't understand, I wonder if you can tell me clearly?"
Murong Lanxin felt that the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. She didn't know what was going on. Was she standing there to block her own way out?
At this moment, Dongfang Jin also stood up from the pillow, turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, and began to put on his shoes.
"What's wrong? Prince, are you feeling better now?" Murong Lanxin looked at Dongfang Jin's actions in surprise, with confusion and surprise on her face. "I thought you were just feeling a little better, but it seems you're all right now."
An Qingran had been observing her expression. She seemed genuinely happy. Could it be that she didn't do it?
Dongfang Jin stood up and looked at her with a frown again: "What's that smell on you?"
"This...what's wrong with you? You look weird?" Murong Lanxin felt a little embarrassed under the gaze of the two people. When she heard the smell, she couldn't help but raise her sleeve to her nose and sniffed it carefully. "It's just the ordinary fragrance of osmanthus. What's wrong with you?"
She wanted to laugh, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she felt that laughing would seem even weirder now.
Did Dongfang Jin tell An Qingran about what happened last time? And is he here to settle the score with me? Did she suspect that I would poison him again? This was really weird.
An Qingran still didn't answer her, but just looked at Dongfang Jin: "Are you sure?"
Dongfang Jin frowned slightly, and then his eyes showed certainty: "I'm sure."
"You guys... I'd better leave. Do you have something to research? It's not convenient for me to stay here." Murong Lanxin stood up.
An Qingran smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. There is something that has not been finished yet. Why are you so anxious, Princess Lan Xin?"
"You...you are not suspecting me of anything, are you?" No matter how dumb Murong Lanxin was, she felt something was wrong. Her face turned red and white, and she frowned. She simply sat back on the chaise longue. "Okay, I won't leave today. If you don't explain clearly, I will stay here. I think someone will naturally give me an explanation."
"Someone come here." An Qingran smiled, "Princess Lanxin, don't be angry yet. We have something good to show you. If you are angry about this, it's too early."
"What do you mean? I have to decide when to get angry?"
"Yes, it's not too late to get angry after you've seen this thing." An Qingran had a faint smile on her face, as if they were playing a joke on Murong Lanxin, but if you look closely, you can see that her right hand was clenched into a fist, and it was trembling slightly because of the force, half of which was excitement and half of which was nervousness. Especially the tips of her eyebrows were twitching slightly. Others didn't know, but Dongfang Jin saw it clearly, and he smiled at her.
Murong Lanxin looked at the two people's weird expressions and felt so angry. Why did she stay here? To watch them flirt with each other?
Do you think that because you like the prince, you can allow them to humiliate you like this?
"Since the Crown Princess is in such a good mood and wants to give me something, I'm a little curious." Murong Lanxin had a sarcastic smile on her face.
"It's coming, don't worry." An Qingran said, her eyes glanced out the window, just in time to see the anxious figure of Jindong. Murong Lanxin then heard a squeaking sound, so she turned her head to look, just in time Jindong lifted the curtain, and a hairy face was facing her, which scared her so much that she hid back. Although she knew there was still some distance between them and there was a cage, she still couldn't help but feel her heart beating, covering her chest: Why did they give her a monkey?
Seeing Murong Lanxin's face turn green, An Qingran took the monkey. The monkey looked at An Qingran as if it had seen an enemy and screamed, but fortunately it did not spit.
"Monkey, let me introduce you to a beautiful sister." An Qingran smiled and looked at Murong Lanxin.
Murong Lanxin's face turned green, and she waved her hands quickly: "Stay away from me, I'm afraid of this thing."
"Don't be afraid, it's in the cage." An Qingran said as he walked forward carrying the cage.
However, the monkey seemed to be more afraid of Murong Lanxin. Unlike the squeaking just now, it didn't even scream and kept hiding backwards as if Murong Lanxin was the king of beasts. It sat in the corner of the cage like a bear and trembled.
Seeing this, An Qingran and Dongfang Jin exchanged glances. They both knew what was going on. An Qingran didn't care anymore and put the cage on the small coffee table in front of Murong Lanxin. Murong Lanxin dodged back, and the little monkey's movements were almost the same as hers, but soon, the monkey stopped moving, and black blood flowed from the corner of its mouth.
Murong Lanxin finally came back to her senses. She was shocked by the scene in front of her and looked at the monkey: "It...what's wrong with it?"
"It's dead." An Qingran said in a cold voice, "You killed it."
"You are talking nonsense. I didn't even move. I was almost scared to death." Murong Lanxin stood up. "I know. You are making fun of me. Dongfang Jin, I like you. It's my fault, but I am not to be made fun of."
Dongfang Jin stared at her coldly without answering her. Instead, he said to the outside, "Come here, lock up Murong Lanxin in the clan residence and wait for her fate."
"Hey, what do you mean?" Murong Lanxin almost jumped up, and there was a hint of pity in An Qingran's eyes.
"It's not us who are making fun of you." She said faintly, not caring whether she could understand or not.
But An Qingran said what she wanted to say.
Murong Lanxin was taken away and she was still screaming when she left the yard.
Dongfang Jin's brows were furrowed the whole time.
An Qingran came closer and rested her head gently on his shoulder. At this moment, he must have thought of Queen Yun. They would be able to avenge her soon, but she was such a strong person that she did not wait until this moment.
"She is not the one who really poisoned the person. She was just being used by someone." Dongfang Jin finally spoke.
"Yes, I know. After all, she was still a child sixteen years ago."
Dongfang Jin stretched out his long arms, held her gently in his arms, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and closed his eyes: "Luckily, I have you."
An Qingran also hugged his waist and closed her eyes, but suddenly stood up in an instant: "Monkey."
Yes, there was a poisoned monkey lying on the ground. An Qingran picked up the cage. She secretly thanked God that she had kept a trick when she detoxified Dongfang Jin. She felt that if all the poison was cleared from him, then it would be impossible to find out who was behind the poisoning and there would be no evidence.
So, she infected the two monkeys with the poison from Dongfang Jin's body and only removed part of it, leaving the rest in their bodies. The poison has not taken effect these days. Today, Dongfang Jin indicated to her that he smelled a familiar smell from that day, the cup of tea in the Empress Dowager's palace. He remembered the special smell. At first, he thought it was the bitterness of tea, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. Today, when Murong Lanxin approached his bed, he smelled that familiar smell again, so he got up.
An Qingran was inspecting the pastries in the outer hall at that time. The two of them didn't even discuss anything with each other, but they had a very good understanding of each other.
Now Dongfang Jin and An Qingran both knew that the problem was with Murong Lanxin, because she had that smell on her body.
"It's Strychnos nux vomica." An Qingran said the name of a medicine, "It's a good medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying, but it's toxic. When using it, it must be supplemented with auxiliary medicines. But this trick is too clever. Fortunately, I used silver needles to detoxify, and didn't use this medicine, otherwise..."
The consequences were disastrous, and An Qingran didn't even dare to think about it at this moment.
This person is so vicious.
No wonder the people at the Imperial Hospital couldn’t cure him.
Maybe the poison was partially neutralized, but was triggered again.
She felt her head starting to hurt. In her previous life, she didn't realize how cruel the struggles in the palace were until the moment of her death. Even though she was prepared, she was still shocked by the bloodiness of the palace fighting.
In this life, she failed to avenge herself and was pushed into a vortex again. Fortunately, he was by her side in this life.
As she thought about it, she skillfully gave the monkey an injection. Soon the monkey woke up, but it was extremely weak and powerless, and it couldn't even express its hatred.
"I'm sorry, after this period of time, I will let you be a happy monkey." An Qingran knew that it was not possible to fully restore the monkey's health now.
"I'm going to find my father." Dongfang Jin said, and left.
An Qingran stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Rendong stepped forward and took the cage out: "Crown Princess, is this matter over?"
"No, it hasn't started yet."
Rendong seemed to understand, but seeing An Qingran's expression, she didn't ask any more questions.
Imperial study.
When Dongfang Jin finished telling what happened, Emperor Yunqi's expression changed: "I will personally interrogate Murong Lanxin. I don't believe this matter has anything to do with the Queen Mother."
