Chapter 306 Wei Ning, you have come to this day?
Seeing that Wei Si remained silent, Xie Zhe snorted coldly and pushed her face away.
He stood up, his robe belt knocking over the wine cup on the round table, and said sinisterly, "If you know what's good for you, everyone will be happy. If you refuse, I don't know what I will do to your daughter! Wei Si, I don't like to force women, think about it carefully!"
He walked away in a huff.
The wine dripped onto the ground, wetting Wei Si's skirt.
She seemed unaware and just stared at the crescent moon outside the window.
There was a chill in her slightly raised eyes.
For those who are content, the water remains; for those who are greedy, the water disappears.
Xie Zhe's desire to go to Baiyujing might be her chance.
…
The other side.
Wen Xingluo has returned to his bedroom.
She was not full tonight, so she asked Cuicui to ask the kitchen to cook her another bowl of plain noodles.
Not long after, a maid from the kitchen brought over some plain noodles and said, "These noodles are fresh from the pot. They're made with a broth made from an old hen, with dried shrimp and lard in the base, and sprinkled with chopped green onions. They're incredibly salty, fragrant, and delicious! I've also carefully cut a plate of shredded chicken in red oil for the princess as a side dish!"
As she spoke, she placed the bowl of noodles and shredded chicken on the table.
Wen Xingluo picked up the chopsticks and couldn't help but look at her.
Usually, the people from the small kitchen would never talk so much when they brought food over.
And this little palace maid looked a little unfamiliar...
She picked up a chopstick of noodles and noticed the little palace maid's expectant gaze from the corner of her eye, so she put down her chopsticks again and asked, "Are you new here?"
The little maid smiled and said, "The royal chef just had a stomachache, and I am on duty for him."
"I see..." Wen Xingluo nodded, "The candles in the hall are a little dim, please trim the wicks for me."
The little palace maid said "Oh" and quickly turned around to trim the candle wick.
Wen Xingluo stirred the noodles with chopsticks, put down the chopsticks the moment the little palace maid turned around, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
She said, "I don't have much of an appetite. Just a couple of bites will be enough. You clear the dishes."
The little palace maid agreed, but she went forward to clean up slowly, and from time to time she secretly glanced at Wen Xingluo.
Wen Xingluo suddenly covered her stomach, staggered to her feet and backed away, then immediately knelt on the ground, "My stomach... my stomach suddenly hurts... Cuicui!"
Cuicui's eyes rolled around, and she immediately realized that her mistress was acting.
Her face was filled with anxiety. She rushed forward and supported Wen Xingluo, crying out in a fierce voice, "My poor lady! What's wrong with you?! Don't scare me! If you die, I don't want to live anymore!"
Wen Xingluo fell "weakly" into her arms.
Just as they were arguing, a slender hand suddenly pushed open the wardrobe in the inner hall.
Xie Xiang walked out confidently, glanced down at Wen Xingluo, and said to the little palace maid, "Your idea is good. From now on, you don't have to work in the flower room anymore. Come serve this princess."
The little palace maid smiled slightly.
She is not a slave in the greenhouse.
She belongs to the Queen.
The Queen Mother arranged for her to send flowers to Xie Xiang every day. After gradually building trust, she instigated Xie Xiang to sneak into Mingzhu Palace and poison Wei Si and Wen Xing.
The Queen Mother's plan was perfect, but unfortunately, no one ate the food on the two tables!
Fortunately, she successfully poisoned the noodles.
As long as Wen Xingluo is poisoned tonight, Wei Si will hold Xie Xiang and Concubine Zhang responsible.
When the time comes and the two sides fight, the one who benefits will be her queen!
Xie Xiang didn't know what she was thinking.
She squatted down beside Wen Xingluo and said proudly, "Wei Ning, you have come to this day? You killed my brother, you deserve to pay with your life!"
Just when I was feeling happy, someone suddenly grabbed my arm.
Xie Xiang was startled and couldn't help but let out a short scream.
Wen Xingluo pushed her to the ground and grabbed her neck tightly, a frosty look on her pretty face. "Xie Xiang, do you think that if I kill Xie Mingrui, I won't dare to touch you again?!"
Xie Xiang beat Wen Xingluo desperately.
She wanted to speak, but her neck was pinched too tightly and she could only make a whimpering sound with difficulty.
She rolled her eyes with tears in her eyes and signaled the little palace maid to pull Wen Xingluo away.
But the little palace maid just frowned and didn't move.
The Empress wanted to poison Wei Si, or to instigate a fight between Wei Si and Concubine Zhang. So tonight, whether Wen Xingluo died at the hands of Xie Xiang, or Xie Xiang died at the hands of Wen Xingluo, it would be beneficial to the Empress...
Without saying a word, she suddenly ran away.
Xie Xiang was stunned, and his beautiful eyes were gradually replaced by despair.
She began to feel exhausted and her strength to struggle gradually weakened.
Just when she thought she would die here tonight, the hands that were strangling her neck suddenly loosened.
Xie Xiang covered his neck and coughed violently, tears of rationality streaming from the corners of his eyes. He looked at Wen Xingluo in disbelief.
The girl just stood up silently, with no emotion on her face.
Xie Xiang breathed rapidly and then stumbled out.
Cuicui was puzzled, "Miss?"
Wen Xingluo wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief and spoke in an unusually calm voice, "That little maid is not Xie Xiang's. Someone is behind this, trying to stir up trouble between my mother and Concubine Zhang, and make them kill each other."
She threw away her handkerchief and smiled at Cuicui, "The moon is very beautiful tonight. When you go to invite the prince, tell him that I invite him to have a drink under the moon."
Cuicui looked outside the hall in confusion.
Tonight is the waxing moon, and it is only as small as a crescent.
What's so beautiful about it?
She couldn't understand what her young lady was thinking, but she knew that whatever her young lady said was right, so she excitedly went to ask Xie Xuchi for help.
Xie Xuchi climbed up the red-lacquered pavilion made of Taihu stone. He didn't see any wine on the stone table, but he saw Wen Xingluo looking intently in a certain direction.
He said, "Ningning invited me to admire the moon, why didn't you look up at the sky?"
Wen Xingluo said meaningfully, "Because what happened on earth is even more exciting."
Xie Xuchi followed her gaze and saw that the girl hurriedly walking through the flower path in the distance was actually Xie Xiang.
There was a pond that one had to pass by on the road leading out of the Pearl Palace. When Xie Xiang walked to the edge of the pond, a figure suddenly appeared behind the Taihu stone. Judging from her attire, she should be a young palace maid.
Before Xie Xiang could react, the little palace maid suddenly pushed him into the pond.
Xie Xuchi raised his eyebrows.
Wen Xingluo gathered her emerald-green shawl, stepped down the stone steps in her pearl shoes, and walked briskly, "There's something exciting to watch tonight."
Xie Xuchi looked at the girl's graceful and charming figure and immediately understood her intention of inviting him over.
He didn't expose her, but only smiled indulgently, followed her down the rockery with his hands behind his back, and said, "Ningning, walk slowly. Be careful, it's getting dark and the road is slippery."
Wen Xingluo looked back at him. In the light and shadow of the lanterns and pine and cypress trees, the young man's slightly raised eyes were unexpectedly soft.
She didn't say anything.
Because Wei Si was imprisoned during this period, the number of palace servants serving in Mingzhu Palace was only half of the usual number.
Xie Xiang thrashed in the water, struggling and screaming for a long time before finally attracting attention.
The bright lights are lit one after another.
When the palace servants pulled her out of the water, the girl was soaked and her eyes were closed. It was unclear whether she was dead or fainted.
Bedroom.
Xie Xiang was lying on the couch, his life or death unknown, surrounded by several imperial doctors. Xie Zhe and Empress Mei also came over.
Concubine Zhang rushed in, disheveled and furious. Without a word, she pounced on Wei Si and shouted at the top of her lungs, "It's not enough that you killed Rui'er, why did you also want to kill my daughter?!"
