Chapter 2 Captivity
Seeing Lan Qingruo's pitiful look, Huo Ziyao immediately flashed a flash of worry and love in his eyes, and even wanted to step forward and hug her into his arms, but due to the presence of Huo Weilou, he could only silently clenched his fists. Carrying it behind his back.
"You bitch! I made an exception and allowed you, a merchant girl, to marry into the regent's palace. How dare you do such an unsavory thing! Come on! Tie this bitch up and beat her to death with sticks!" The old princess did the same! Trembling with anger, he looked at Shen Xinyue coldly, gritted his teeth and ordered.
The two grandmothers immediately stepped forward to restrain Shen Xinyue.
Shen Xinyue never dreamed that what she would face after traveling through time would be a series of situations!
I'm afraid that this Xipo has been poisoned by the people behind the scenes. She just acted smartly in the interrogation to extract a confession, and she just happened to be a scapegoat for the mastermind behind the scenes!
She is so stupid!
"Your Majesty! The marriage exchange was really not my fault! What I gave her just now wasn't poison! It was this candy! I was just trying to scare her!" Shen Xinyue took two steps back and hid in Huo Weilou's room. He turned to his side, took out the candy pills he had just given to Xipo from his sleeve, and swallowed one in front of Huo Weilou.
When the old princess saw that Shen Xinyue was still quibbling, she became even more furious. She pointed at her and said angrily: "You still dare to quibble! You vicious woman can't even see the coffin without shedding tears! So many of us are looking at you. Give poison to Po Xi and watch her die from the poison! What are you doing to silence someone else?"
"I killed someone in front of so many of you? Am I a fool? And judging from her symptoms of poisoning, she should have taken Duangchang Powder. After taking Duangchang Powder, it takes five to six hours for the poison to develop. I gave her candy. The pill lasts only a moment, it's not right at all! If you don't believe it, just call the doctor to see it! If you executed me in such a stupid way, wouldn't you let the real murderer go free?"
The old princess was stunned by Shen Xinyue's words and was speechless. She was so angry that her breathing became heavier.
On the contrary, Huo Weilou's eyes became darker and colder when he looked at Shen Xinyue.
She had read Shen Xinyue's information and knew that Shen Xinyue was a veritable idiot. Not to mention Kung Fu and pharmacology, he was a complete mess in terms of female celebrities and knowledge.
But the person in front of him could actually tell at a glance that what Xipo had hit was Duanchang Powder.
He just witnessed Shen Xinyue take out the candy pills from her sleeve, and she also took one just now, so it was definitely not poisoned on the spot.
So, is the woman in front of me Shen Xinyue?
Her purpose of entering the palace was by no means simple.
"Come here! Drag this poisonous woman down immediately! Beat her to death with a stick!" The old princess was already patting her chest to calm down, and pointed at Shen Xinyue with gritted teeth and ordered.
The two aunties beside the old princess suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Xinyue's shoulders.
These two grandmothers were obviously from the Lian family, and Shen Xinyue was unable to move in an instant.
At this time, Huo Weilou stood up with a cold expression and said in a deep voice: "Concubine, wait a minute. The matter has not been investigated clearly, so we cannot deal with it rashly. Let's lock her up in the ancestral hall and keep her under guard."
Since someone sent a spy to the Regent's Palace, he wanted to follow the clues to see who had taken advantage of this bear's heart and leopard's courage.
"As you wish!" The old princess had always had a distant relationship with Huo Weilou, the eldest son. Seeing that Huo Weilou wanted to keep Shen Xinyue, a scourge, she looked extremely unhappy and snorted coldly, "You must give me this matter. Explain to Zi Yao!"
With that said, she walked away with a cold face and waved her sleeves.
"Brother! Then Qingruo - we -" Huo Ziyao looked at Huo Weilou hesitantly when he saw his mother leaving.
Lan Qingruo also looked at Huo Weilou with tearful eyes, as if she was about to shed tears before she could speak.
Huo Weilou's eyes were cold and the candlelight in the room was bright. He could clearly see Lan Qingruo's bare shoulders and the lip prints on her neck.
There was also the rouge on Huo Ziyao's lips that didn't belong to him.
There was an unspeakable irritation and resentment in his heart, and he said in a cold voice: "Send Miss Lan to the east wing to rest first, and wait until this matter is cleared up."
After that, Huo Weilou also left Huo Ziyao's yard with a cold face.
Returning to the main courtyard, he immediately summoned the secret guards and ordered in a cold voice: "Send two people to Jiangnan to investigate Shen Xinyue inside and out, every detail!"
The secret guard immediately took the order and left.
As for Shen Xinyue, after being thrown into the cold ancestral hall, the door was locked.
She turned her head and saw countless standing tablets in the dim candlelight.
If she were an ordinary girl, her face would turn pale with fear and she would be trembling.
However, as a doctor in her previous life, she was no longer surprised by the deaths, so she didn't have any psychological burden.
Shen Xinyue found a stool for herself and sat down. However, after sitting for a while, she felt that her internal organs were grunting in protest.
Hungry. Very hungry.
The original owner had been putting on makeup early in the morning, and by this late hour, he had taken nothing except the candy pill just now.
Judging from their attitude, I don't know how long they will imprison themselves. If this continues, even if they are not killed, they will starve to death. They still have to find a way to escape.
Shen Xinyue stood up and started looking for a way out with the faint candlelight in the ancestral hall.
The door was locked, so we had to find a solution through the window.
She walked to several windows in the ancestral hall and looked carefully, but found that the windows were also closed from the outside, and she could not push them at all.
Just at this time, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open with a click.
Shen Xinyue glanced at the door with a cold gaze, and saw a young man wearing a coarse blouse walking in with a basket, and said politely: "Miss Shen, the prince is lucky enough to bring you some food."
As he said that, the boy took out a meal and a dish from the basket, as well as a small stall of wine, and said, "It's cold, Miss Shen, you can have a glass of wine to warm yourself up."
Shen Xinyue was so hungry that she felt dizzy. She hurried over, sat down on the floor and picked up her chopsticks.
However, before she even moved her chopsticks, Shen Xinyue smelled a strong smell of Ruanjin San.
This food is weird.
Shen Xinyue clenched the pair of chopsticks tightly without leaving a trace. She glanced at the boy from the corner of her eyes and found that the boy's eyes were very lewd.
Shen Xinyue's eyes instantly turned cold.
"Miss Shen, eat quickly, the little one still needs to take away the basket." Seeing Shen Xinyue not moving her chopsticks, the boy couldn't help but urge.
Shen Xinyue nodded and said: "Pour me a glass of wine first, I want to drink a glass of wine."
The boy didn't doubt that he was there, so he hurriedly took the wine glass, bent down and poured wine for Shen Xinyue.
The moment he came closer to Shen Xinyue, Shen Xinyue suddenly made a quick move, took the chopsticks in her hand, and stabbed hard at one of the boy's acupuncture points.
The boy didn't even have time to react. His eyes went dark and he fainted instantly.
Shen Xinyue had no time to clean up the mess in the ancestral hall, so she hurriedly left through the gate and closed the door of the ancestral hall.
It was late at night, and the entire palace was very cold.
Shen Xinyue was so hungry that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she quietly went into the kitchen and ate several bites of the leftovers that the servants had picked up.
After filling her stomach for a while, Shen Xinyue followed her memory and found Huo Ziyao's yard.
She is not blind. Judging from Huo Ziyao's words and deeds, he is clearly as happy as he has been for a long time.
So she suspected that Huo Ziyao was responsible for this marriage change! Just right, she could legitimately occupy her future sister-in-law, and she could also put the blame on her!
Shen Xinyue was hiding and was about to sneak into Huo Ziyao's yard when she saw Huo Ziyao coming out of the yard wearing a big cloak and looking hurriedly.
Hey, you're up late at night, where are you going sneakily?
Sure enough, there is a ghost!
Seeing his hurried look, Shen Xinyue became more and more sure of her thoughts, and immediately slowed down to keep up with Huo Ziyao.
The place where Huo Ziyao went was the east wing where Lan Qingruo lived.
"Second Young Master, are you here? Please advise my young lady!" Huo Ziyao had just walked into the yard when Lan Qingruo's nanny looked at Huo Ziyao anxiously and pleadingly.
"What's wrong with Qingruo?" Huo Ziyao's face was full of anxiety, and he couldn't help but speed up his steps.
The wet nurse said in a low voice: "I refused to sleep at night, so I stood by the pond blankly. I was really afraid that the young lady would do something stupid. I originally wanted to ask the prince to persuade the young lady, but I didn't have the courage anymore. After much deliberation, I can only turn to the second young master for help. The second young master also grew up with our young lady, so the young lady can listen to what he says."
Listening to the nanny's advice, Lan Qingruo still wanted to commit suicide.
How could Huo Ziyao endure it? He quickly walked towards the pond in three steps and two steps.
Shen Xinyue didn't dare to follow too closely, so she could only hide behind some green plants or rockeries at a moderate distance, and followed step by step.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lan Qingruo, who was standing blankly by the pond, suddenly moved.
She actually stretched out her legs and wanted to walk into the water.
Huo Ziyao was so frightened that he flew forward and held Lan Qingruo tightly in his arms. He said in a deep and gentle voice: "Qingruo! What are you doing! How can you do such a stupid thing!"
Lan Qingruo burst into tears when she heard Huo Ziyao's voice, and even struggled to leave Huo Ziyao's arms.
"You, go away! The two of us, what do we mean by this? I am your eldest brother's wife, but I have a physical relationship with you, how can I still be a human being? I have no shame in living! You let me die Come on!" That's what Lan Qingruo said, but after struggling a few times, she didn't push Huo Ziyao's arms away.
"He dislikes you, but I will not dislike you. I have been secretly admiring you for many years. If it weren't for the fact that you were engaged to him, I would have come to ask for your hand in marriage! Now that something has happened, we might as well make up for it! I will I will be good to you all my life, Qingruo, please believe me."
Huo Ziyao held Lan Qingruo tightly in his arms and swore solemnly.
However, Lan Qingruo still looked dim with tears and cried: "But, I, I don't want you to have trouble with your elder brother because of me. Then wouldn't I become a sinner? Or let me die. Well, only if I die can this matter be over. Zi Yao, I know you are a good person, but it’s a pity that we are destined to be destined to have no destiny - "
Hearing that Lan Qingruo still wanted to seek death, Huo Ziyao increased the strength in his hands and pressed her tightly in his arms, preventing her from moving at all.
"Qingruo, don't worry, even if he is my eldest brother, since I have touched you, I will be responsible for you to the end. Don't be afraid, I will treat you well all my life, you believe me!" Huo Ziyao promised again! .
"Ziyao - I am so infatuated with him. I didn't expect that at this juncture, the person who is willing to take responsibility for me is you -" Lan Qingruo stopped struggling at this moment and snuggled softly into Huo Ziyao's arms, even taking the initiative She wrapped her arms around his waist.
Huo Ziyao looked at the soft sweetheart in his arms and felt hot all over his body, and even his blood was boiling hot.
He had an uncontrollable impulse, lowered his head and kissed Lan Qingruo deeply.
Moreover, Shen Xinyue also had a keen sense of smell and smelled the aphrodisiac scent!
When Shen Xinyue saw this, her suspicions became more solid!
Chapter completed!
