Chapter 97 Who Gave You the Poison?
However, a strong wind swept through the air, and Han Xun felt a sharp pain in his knee. He was kicked to the ground without any resistance, and lay on the ground in a mess.
His leg bones were in great pain as if they were broken, his face was pale, and cold sweat was dripping.
"Please have some tea." Shen Ning said, and under Han Xun's horrified eyes, he slowly raised the teacup to his head and poured the boiling hot tea over his head.
"Ah!" Han Xun screamed and shook his head, but the boiling hot tea still fell on his head and face.
Shen Ning lowered her eyes and looked at him: "Han Xun, you are so disgusting that I feel like the stupidest idiot in the world."
Han Xun twitched in pain, his face was red from the hot water, and blisters soon appeared.
He closed his eyes tightly and endured the excruciating pain.
"Why? Why exactly?!" He gritted his teeth and growled, his voice full of resentment and despair, "What have I done to offend you that you hate me so much?"
"I just want you to know that without Princess Zhaohua, your life will not get better." Shen Ning's voice was calm and bloodthirsty, as if it came from the boundless hell, "Whether it is you or the hypocritical emperor of Nan Zhao, the end will be even worse. You can wait and see, watch your king become a slave of a conquered country, a prisoner, shackled like you, and kneeling in front of this princess begging for mercy."
Han Xun looked up with a pale face, and squeezed out a trembling voice from his throat: "You... who are you?"
"Guess I am Who? "Shen Ning squatted down, raised her eyebrows slightly, and spoke in a sinister voice, "From martial arts to temperament, don't you feel familiar? Han Xun, I still remember the cup of poisoned wine on the wedding night. The torture of every day since then is unforgettable. I can't forget it even if I want to. "
Han Xun's pupils dilated, and fear was clearly revealed in his eyes: "You...you...impossible! This is impossible!"
Shen Ning stepped on his hand with one foot, grinding it slowly, watching him in pain, listening to his screams, and her voice was calm as if she had no emotions: "The world is so big, there are many strange things, nothing is impossible."
Han Xun couldn't stop shaking in pain, but even the pain of ten fingers connected to the heart was not as great as the fear in his heart at this time.
She is Zhao Hua?
She is actually Zhao Hua!
Impossible, impossible, how is this possible?
How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world?
She must be deliberately making a mystery, using the name of Zhao Hua to scare him and make him confused!
"Come here!" Shen Ning stood up straight, looking down from a high position, as if looking at a dying bug, "Take him to the dungeon and lock him up."
"Yes." Two guards dragged him down.
"Princess." Shiqi came back from outside quickly and reported respectfully, "Princess Jiayu gave Miss Gu a packet of medicine, saying that as long as the regent takes it, he will love her deeply and never change for the rest of his life."
Shen Ning retracted his gaze: "What is the effect of the medicine?"
Shiqi replied: "It is the poison that the queen mother gave to Princess Jiayu, hoping to use Miss Gu to murder the regent."
Shen Ning was silent for a moment, his eyes were cold and indifferent: "It seems that the queen mother can't even wait for a year."
Turning back to the warm pavilion, Shen Ning greeted Shiqin and Shiqi: "You have worked hard, come and have a cup of tea."
Shiqi was a little surprised and followed into the warm pavilion: "Princess, don't you plan to deal with Miss Gu?"
"That's Ji Yucang's cousin, Ji Yucang will deal with it himself." Shen Ning obviously didn't intend to meddle in other people's business.
Ji Yucang will be very busy these two days, busy dealing with the envoys from Nanzhao, and at the same time he has to prepare food and grass.
Ling Fengyang was imprisoned and became a useless person, and Han Xun was half dead when he became the regent.
The envoys from Nanzhao may not come back this time.
Shen Ning sat in the warm pavilion drinking tea, his eyes fell on the distant sky, quietly thinking about what to do next.
Gu Yanran came back not late, and went back to her own Yanran Residence after entering the mansion, while Ji Yucang came back in the evening.
Shen Ning just pretended that nothing happened and had dinner with Ji Yucang as usual.
Shiqin presented six dishes and performed a poison test method with silver needles on the spot.
The room was quiet and the atmosphere was weird.
Ji Yucang and Shen Ning looked at the blackened silver needles without saying a word, and their expressions were hard to describe.
However, neither of them spoke, probably knowing who was so stupid to poison so blatantly.
Shiqin silently removed all six dishes and had someone serve another one.
After eating and drinking, Shen Ning washed up and rested early, while Ji Yucang returned to the study in the front yard to deal with the memorials that had not been approved during the day.
Less than a cup of tea, a woman's gentle and delicate voice sounded outside: "Yanran wants to see my cousin for something, and I hope Guard Ling will report it."
Ling Feng looked at the cousin girl in a pink gauze dress in front of him with a serious expression: "The prince's study is a key place, no idle people are allowed to enter, cousin girl, please go back."
Gu Yanran bit her lip, as if she was a little dissatisfied: "Didn't the princess go in before?"
"Husband and wife are one." Ling Feng said, "The princess is the mistress of the house, and she can see the prince at any time if she wants, but cousin girl is not."
Gu Yanran pursed her lips: "Please report it."
Ling Feng was unmoved: "Please ask cousin girl to go back--"
"Let her come in." A cold voice came from the study.
The voice without emotional fluctuations surprised Ling Feng, and Gu Yanran was secretly happy.
She raised her chin and said, "Excuse me."
Gu Yanran walked into the study and closed the door consciously. However, when she turned around and saw Ji Yucang sitting behind the desk reviewing memorials, her feet suddenly felt as if they were filled with lead and she couldn't move forward.
"Cousin." Gu Yanran looked at Ji Yucang, who looked calm as usual and had no signs of Chinese medicine, "Have you...did you have dinner?"
Ji Yucang said indifferently: "Yes."
"Then...then..." Gu Yanran took two steps forward, and suddenly had an uneasy premonition in her heart, "When will cousin rest?"
Ji Yucang raised his eyes slightly: "Did you bring the meal for me tonight from the kitchen?"
"Cousin?" Gu Yanran's face changed, "I...I didn't understand what my cousin said?"
"You poisoned the meal." Ji Yucang's words were a statement, not a question, "Who gave you the poison?"
Gu Yanran's face turned pale and she stepped back unconsciously: "Cousin, what are you talking about? How could I poison my cousin? I...I didn't, I really didn't..."
"Gu Yanran, do you want to be sent to the army as a military prostitute?"
This sentence seemed to come with the cold air all over the sky. Gu Yanran fell to her knees with a bang, her whole body was cold, and she looked up at him in disbelief.
My cousin wants to send her to the army as a military prostitute?
They are cousins. When her aunt was alive, she loved her so much that she even wanted to marry her to her cousin. How could her cousin be so cruel to her?
"Cousin, you can't do this to me..." Gu Yanran's face turned pale and she shook her head in a daze, "I am my aunt's most beloved niece. I have always liked you, cousin, I have always liked you! How could you do this to me?"
"Who gave you the poison?"
Gu Yanran's face was as pale as paper: "Cousin, you can't do this to me, you can't do this to me..."
"Ling Feng." Ji Yucang shouted coldly.
