Chapter 172 Hundred Days of Red
Liu Ruxu thought she could escape unscathed in this way?
He even said nonsense that he was asked to convince Liu Zaisu on his own.
Hehe, she is just a prostitute, what qualifications do she have to interfere in the affairs of the court? It is a joke.
When Li Yuntian left Jiaofang Hall, he had a very good balance between sadness and excitement on his face.
But the ginkgo hair bumped into him carelessly, almost tripping him and causing a commotion around him.
"Oh, my slave deserves to die, my slave deserves to die!" Ginkgo said in panic, "I beg the Second Prince to forgive me, this slave really didn't mean it!"
Li Yuntian was furious and looked down at her.
I also saw many maids from Jiaofang Palace around me, and the eunuchs were watching.
Now is not the time for an attack. Li Yuntian knew how to tolerate it, suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "It's okay, Aunt Ginkgo."
The more magnanimous he became, the more Gingko felt that he had caused a big disaster, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, but did not dare to raise his head.
Li Yuntian looked at Ginkgo's miserable appearance and felt a flash of disgust in his heart, but he still patiently helped her up.
"Aunt Ginkgo, please wake up. I don't blame you."
Ginkgo stood up gratefully, still not daring to raise her head, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"
"Well, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." Li Yuntian said calmly, turned around and left.
Ginkgo looked at his leaving figure and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But she didn't notice at all that Li Yuntian had just sprinkled some medicinal powder into her cuffs.
Liu Ruxu, who came out after hearing the commotion, saw Li Yunxing's leaving figure.
Liu Ruxu was thoughtful, then frowned and looked at Ginkgo, "You have been in this palace for how many years, and you still don't know the rules in this palace?"
Of course Ginkgo knows that every time she raises her hand or makes a move in the palace, she must abide by the rules.
As the maid in charge of Jiaofang Palace, she should be strict with herself, but she always makes mistakes, which is really helpless.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will never dare to do this again!" She quickly knelt down and begged for mercy again and again.
Liu Ruxu's face was stern and she said in a stern tone: "Now this palace is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, surrounded by wolves. If you don't know what to do, sooner or later, I won't be able to protect you!"
"Slave, please follow the instructions carefully and never forget them!"
Ginkgo didn't dare to argue anymore and kept saying yes.
Seeing Ginkgo's frightened look, Liu Ruxu waved her hands and said, "Why were you in such a hurry just now?"
"Replying to your Majesty, the news came from the Imperial Physician just now. After an overnight investigation, evidence was found that King Zhaoyang was poisoned."
When Liu Ruxu heard this, her eyes widened immediately, "Keep talking!"
"After King Zhaoyang died, the veins in his body turned black, which was obviously a sign of poisoning. Then the imperial physician ordered that the residue of the tea leaves be found from King Zhaoyang's mouth. He tested it with a silver needle and found that it was indeed poisonous!"
"What kind of poison is it?"
"The name is Bairihong..."
Hundred Days Red...
Flowers don’t last forever, and people don’t last forever.
This is what Liu Zhongqing said before. His words lingered in her ears like a curse, and Liu Ruxu couldn't let go of them for a long time.
Ginkgo paused and continued.
"The adults in the Imperial Physician's Order said that this poison is a poison from the Xiongnu used to control the soldiers. The soldiers will not feel any physical discomfort within a hundred days, but if they do not take the antidote after a hundred days, then they will
Bianhui's meridians will flow backward and he will die suddenly."
"This is a poison developed by the King of the Huns to prevent his soldiers from escaping and leaking secrets during battle!"
Liu Ruxu listened to Ginkgo's words, her eyes fell into the distance, and Liu Zhongqing's figure appeared in her mind.
Liu Zhongqing once told her that the Huns would rather fight to the death to preserve their territory and their army; but if they were deserters and traitors, they would be killed without mercy.
When she was young, she was frightened by the fearfulness and cold-bloodedness of the Huns. She never thought that the medicine that Liu Zhongqing said before was poisoned by the Huns.
But Liu Ruxu also discovered a key error in Ginkgo's description.
"tea?"
"Didn't you just say that it was a hundred-day red? It will take effect after a hundred days. How come King Zhaoyang still has poisonous tea leaves in his mouth?"
Ginkgo nodded, that's why she was so anxious.
"The imperial doctor said that this poison has been improved. It seems to be a new type of poison made by poison masters, and ordinary people cannot detect it at all."
Ginkgo's words made Liu Ruxu fall into deep thought.
In this palace, I have never heard of anyone who is good at this medicine. Could it be that the people in the palace colluded with the experts outside the palace?
Ginkgo didn't dare to guess what was going on in the palace without permission. She just felt her arms were numb and numb, as if there were small insects crawling around.
While Liu Ruxu's eyes were not focused on her, she quickly grabbed her a few times.
It's just that the itching feels like a wave, one wave higher than the other, and the itching becomes even worse after scratching.
Ginkgo suppressed her discomfort and saluted Liu Ruxu, "My Lady, please do your work first. I will leave now."
"Go." Liu Ruxu said casually.
On the other side, when Li Yuntian stepped out of the Jiao Fang Palace, his elegant image just now was gone, replaced by a sinister and vicious one.
His guard came forward and handed Li Yuntian a half-wet and half-dry silk handkerchief.
Li Yuntian took it and wiped his hands carefully to remove the dust. Then he took out the glass nose pot from his pocket and smelled it. The itching on his hands finally passed.
Damn palace maid, how dare you bump into him.
It’s just a cheap life and you’re so unruly, so don’t even want your right hand!
Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with fierceness, and his bodyguard immediately understood and followed Li Yuntian and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you need to secretly capture the palace maid?"
The guard made an erasing gesture on his neck.
"Hmph!" Li Yuntian snorted heavily, "You are just a humble low-class creature, not worthy of dirtying my prince's hands!"
Although he wished he could cut this bold maid into pieces, she was not his maid after all, and it would be unsightly if things got too big.
He still remembered Qin Zhongyi's teachings: avoid being impulsive in everything.
The guards nodded when they heard Li Yuntian's words. They seemed to be used to Li Yuntian's gloomy and weird temper.
After wiping it, Li Yuntian threw the square silk handkerchief on the ground and left without looking back.
Li Yuntian was very tired after pretending for so long just now.
This kind of pretentious play is only thanks to him being able to pretend to be such a polite scumbag.
Li Yuntian walked to the palace, humming a little tune in a very good mood.
As he happened to be passing by the Royal Garden, a figure made Li Yuntian couldn't help but stamp his feet.
In the garden, the fifth prince was sitting under a tree, holding a wood carving knife in one hand and a fist-sized piece of wood in the other hand, which he was carving carefully.
