Although Xiao Ran is the same age as me, he always thinks about things more thoroughly than me, if the knife on the canonization ceremony is replaced by me, it is a great luck to have the opportunity to avoid it, where else can I think of. But Xiao Ran actually thought about all kinds of things in such a short moment, and took action, I really admire him.

His dark eyes turned, and finally spoke: "I am measured, when the dagger stabbed over, I turned slightly sideways, it seemed that a knife was not in the chest and the injury was very serious, but in fact, there was no worry about my life, Li Shao was present just now, I just played it for him." ”

I glared at him and said angrily: "I was frightened by your performance, and I was thinking about whether to just throw the poison into the well in the palace and send these people to your funeral." ”

"If you really have such a vicious heart, I am relieved." Xiao Ran pulled the sleeves of his shirt wet with my tears, lay down flat, closed his eyes slightly, and said: "I'm tired, sleep for a while, I want to eat lotus seed soup for lunch, you let Forsythia prepare it." ”

I answered and exited the Yanhua Palace, and after telling Forsythia to feel that there was nothing to do, I went to inquire about the situation of Jinghe Palace.

The maids and inner eunuchs of Jinghe Palace all recognized me and knew that I was a popular person in front of the prince, so when they saw me to inquire, they told me the truth about the situation inside.

Li Shao lost his temper and almost dropped everything that could be dropped in Jinghe Palace, thinking that as long as the queen and Princess Lianqing could admit their mistakes, they would open up to them, but who knew that the queen and Princess Lianqing refused to admit it, and said that everything was set up by the prince in order to get rid of them. Li Shao was furious when he heard this, so he ordered the queen to be abolished, entered the cold palace, stripped Princess Lianqing of the title, and grounded in the Jiahe Palace.

Chang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, although I didn't kill Princess Lian Qing with my own hands, but now the punishment is enough, and my task is only to poison Li Shao. Now, as long as Xiao Ran's injury improves, I will be able to take this step smoothly.

When I returned to Yanhua Palace, Xiao Ran had already woken up, and I told him the news I heard, and he only pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and was not surprised by this result.

I took the lotus seed soup brought by Forsythia, sat down in front of the bed and fed him spoonful by spoonful, and asked curiously: "Do you say that Li Shao has no suspicion of us at all?" Xiao Ran took a sip of lotus seed soup and shook his head to signal that I didn't need to feed it anymore. How? Isn't it tasty? I turned around and put the bowl on the table, took the handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Ran.

He took the handkerchief and said in a deep voice, "I suddenly feel that I have no appetite." I also think there is something strange about this matter, even if the queen and Princess Lian Qing want to harm me, they will not act so blatantly at the canonization ceremony, but apart from them, I can't think of who wants to get rid of me, Li Shaoxin I just think that I won't gamble with my life. ”

"So what do we do next?" I sat back on the edge of the bed and stared at Xiao Ran with my chin propped up.

"Li Shao's food must be tasted by the inner supervisor of the waiter, and there is also a silverware inspection, it is really difficult to poison, it is better to wait until the time to go to Changqing Temple to incense and then find a way. When the time comes, there will not be many people, and it will be convenient for you to poison it, but it is better that the poison cannot be detected by the coroner, so that I will not be criticized for succeeding to the throne. Xiao Ran lay on his side on the bed, looking at me with burning eyes.

"My master has developed a poison called An Yi San, poisoned people will die of heart failure, the poison will stay in the body for half an hour at most, as long as we delay some time, when the coroner comes to the autopsy, we can only find out that Li Shao died suddenly of heart disease." In fact, when Xiao Ran and I discussed these issues, I felt a little uncomfortable, I don't know if he really hates Li Shao to the bone, or if he is so cold and indifferent, if this matter is me, I would rather go to Lang in the south and the north than be the king after killing my biological father. This is something I have never dared to discuss with Xiao Ran, and I will not disobey Master's orders, so I can't let Xiao Ran waver.

Half a month later, Xiao Ran's injuries were fine, so he proposed to Li Shao to go to Changqing Temple to offer incense, and Li Shao readily agreed. Of course, this battle was not as strong as the last time I prayed for the queen mother, but it was accompanied by more than a dozen inner prison maids and hundreds of royal forest soldiers.

Xiao Ran shared a carriage with Li Shao, and because of Xiao Ran's relationship, Li Shao authorized me to serve in the carriage, so I listened to all their conversations along the way.

When he arrived in the north of the city, Li Shao suddenly sighed and said: "When the widow was in Lou State, the life and death were unknown, and the first king wanted to set up his eldest brother Li Mao as the son, but he didn't want the widow to return to the throne. The last time I went to Changqing Temple to pray for blessings, I passed through the north of the city, but I saw him sitting here in a Taoist robe......"

I suddenly realized that the Taoist who was buried with the princely rite last time Li Shao was actually his royal brother Li Mao, a dignified prince died in this downtown area, which is really unpredictable!

Arriving at Xuanshan at noon, and after getting off the carriage, the inner supervisor carried Li Shao and Xiao Ran slowly up the three thousand steps in a sedan chair. I could only glance at Xiao Ran sadly, and then trotted all the way behind, Xiao Ran didn't forget to turn around and put on a comfortable look to stimulate me.

After arriving at Changqing Temple, I don't know why I feel that the atmosphere is a little weird, and I still have some impressions of the inner eunuchs and maids who often serve around Li Shao, but these outside are very eye-catching. Did Li Shao deliberately pick a newcomer from the service garden to bring over this trip? I couldn't figure it out for a while, but it was not good to ask Xiao Ran, he was eating with Li Shao, so I could only talk to him later.

After lunch, Li Shao took a nap in the wing, Xiao Ran led me to the backyard of Changqing Temple, and sent the maid to prepare tea, I knew it was time to do it.

Xiao Ran's calm face tightened, and he whispered in his ear: "You shouldn't have forgotten to bring that comfort again this time, right?" I glared at him and said to myself, am I a pig in your heart? Xiao Ran seemed to hear the voice in my heart and replied: "You are a pig, I better ask about this kind of thing first." ”

He raised his hand and shook his sleeve full of poison, and whispered, "Do you want me to give you some first?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and pushed my hand away disdainfully: "Do the right thing, and just let me see your methods." ”

Xiao Ran welcomed Li Shao to the backyard, sat down at the stone table and said that he had something important to discuss, so he asked the maids and inner supervisors to serve outside, leaving me alone.

"What important things do you want to talk to the widow?" After Li Shaoxu took a nap, his sleepiness had not yet dissipated, and his face was slightly tired.

"Tassels, serve tea!" Xiao Ran lowered his eyebrows, gently pulled his sleeves, turned to Li Shao and said, "I just want to talk to my father about my mother." ”

I stepped forward slowly, made two cups of tea, flicked my nails slightly, and the poison dissolved into one of the cups, I picked up the cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Li Shao, and said softly: "Your Excellency, please use tea." ”

Li Shao took the cup and took a sip of tea, and then Xiao Ran said: "Yun Qing has indeed suffered a lot over the years, if she is willing to enter the palace, the widow will definitely double the compensation for her." The widow still remembers that Yun Qing is good at flute, and a song of appearance is very beautiful, and he has not heard that haode flute sound for eighteen years. ”

I was about to take the cup for Xiao Ran off and fell to the ground, and the crisp cracking sound was blown away by the mountain wind in the ethereal clouds on the cliff.

Looks? Isn't that the song my mother plays every night in the bamboo forest?
