HCB Chapter 216 Poison
Chapter 216 Poison
When Dark Moon Fairy heard this, she couldn't help but frown, and doubts arose in her heart: "Is this news reliable?" She knew very well that the relationship between Xiao Xiao and Xiao Jinghan was complicated. If there was really a poisoning, it would definitely cause an uproar.
Seeing this, Xueying raised his eyebrows, as if he was dissatisfied with Dark Moon Fairy's doubts. He sneered and said sarcastically: "Humph, I am doing too much! If Xiao Jinghan died, wouldn't it be a perfect match for me? At that time, I can marry you legitimately, wouldn't it be wonderful? It's a pity..." At the end, he deliberately sighed, revealing a trace of helplessness.
Dark Moon Fairy stared at Blood Shadow, her eyes flashing with complex light. She understood Blood Shadow's thoughts, but at the moment she was more concerned about Xiao Jinghan's safety. She had to ensure the authenticity of the news and not be easily swayed by emotions. So, she lowered her voice and asked again: "Blood Shadow, this matter is of great importance, you must give me a solid evidence. Otherwise, it will be hard to convince people with just empty words."
Xueying suddenly chuckled, then said in a low voice: "That's your fiancé, what does he have to do with me!" After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Dark Moon Fairy's heart suddenly tightened, and she didn't even have time to check the account book. She returned to the general's mansion without hesitation, quickly removed the disguise mask on her face, and hurried to Wu'an Palace.
When she finally arrived at the palace, she saw Xiao Jinghan and Xiao Xiao preparing to have breakfast together.
Luo Lingyue rushed forward anxiously. Xiao Jinghan looked at her with a smile on his face: "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Come eat with us!"
The servant beside her swiftly brought a set of bowls and chopsticks. Luo Lingyue sat down gracefully and tasted the buns and pastries one by one without any hesitation.
A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Xiao's face: "Princess Luo! If you like it, feel free to eat more!"
Luo Lingyue didn't even look at her, she turned to Xiao Jinghan and said with a smile: "The chef of Wu'an Palace is really great! Xiao Jinghan! When we go to Nanyi in the future, we must remember to bring this chef with us!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao's face instantly turned gloomy. She clenched her hands under the table into fists and thought to herself: Going to Nanyi? You are just dreaming!
After breakfast, Luo Lingyue stretched and then enthusiastically pulled Xiao Jinghan to play chess. Xiao Jinghan was a little helpless, but she still dragged him to sit in front of the chessboard.
Xiao Xiao stood aside and watched them, thinking secretly in her heart. Suddenly, her eyebrows moved, realizing that this was a great opportunity!
At this moment, a maid came in with two cups of steaming tea. Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly went over to take the tray: "I'll take it to Second Uncle! You go down first!" The maid bowed and left.
Xiao Xiao carefully picked up one of the cups of tea, walked to Xiao Jinghan, said with a smile: "Second Uncle, please have some tea!" Then she gently placed the cup in front of him.
Then, she picked up another cup of tea, walked towards Luo Lingyue, and said politely: "Princess Luo, please have some tea too!" Luo Lingyue smiled and nodded in thanks.
After both of them took the teacups, Xiao Xiao quietly left the front hall. As she walked, she was secretly happy and looking forward to what would happen next...
Luo Lingyue's eyes flickered as she saw Xiao Jinghan about to pick up the teacup to drink tea. She had an idea and quickly grabbed the teacup, raising her head and taking a sip without hesitation.
However, what was unexpected was that Luo Lingyue frowned and looked puzzled. This tea was not poisonous! Could it be that the news that Xueying told her before was false?
Xiao Jinghan's eyes were deep and complicated. He stared at Luo Lingyue with a smile and asked softly, "How does my tea taste?"
Luo Lingyue's face couldn't help but get hot, and she answered awkwardly: "Well... it's a little bland." After she finished speaking, she hurriedly picked up the cup of tea in front of her and took a sip.
In an instant, Luo Lingyue's face suddenly changed. She never thought that the cup of tea in her hand was poisonous! Could it be that Xiao Xiao wanted to poison her? This thought flashed through her mind, making her shudder.
Xiao Jinghan smiled coldly and asked in a somewhat joking tone: "Is your cup of tea even more unpalatable than mine?"
Luo Lingyue replied calmly: "It is indeed a bit bitter!" After that, she gently stretched out her jade finger, dipped it in a little tea, and then quietly wrote a line of small words on the chessboard.
Xiao Jinghan looked closely and his face turned pale as paper in an instant, with cold sweat even oozing out of his forehead. His eyes were fixed on Luo Lingyue, full of tension and anxiety.
However, Luo Lingyue just shook her head slightly, as if to signal him not to panic. Her eyes were calm and firm, as if everything was under her control.
Luo Lingyue's body suddenly went limp and she fell on Xiao Jinghan, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which splattered on his white clothes, shocking to the sight.
Xiao Jinghan was shocked and hurriedly supported her body, calling out loudly: "Xiaoqi! Xiaoqi! What's wrong with you?" However, Luo Lingyue had already lost consciousness, her eyes were closed, and her breath was weak.
"Come quickly! Call the palace doctor!" Xiao Jinghan was extremely anxious, with a hint of fear and despair in his voice. The servants heard the sound and quickly ran to find the palace doctor.
The court doctor rushed over and checked Luo Lingyue's injuries in a panic. He frowned and said to Xiao Jinghan solemnly, "Your Majesty, the poison that Princess Luo was poisoned with is very strong. The poison has already invaded her internal organs. My medical skills are limited and I am really powerless! This poison is too strong. If we can find Doctor Xi, there may be a glimmer of hope."
Xiao Jinghan felt a sharp pain in his heart. He held Luo Lingyue's hand tightly, his eyes full of worry and reluctance.
"Hurry! Go find Luo Lingfeng!" he ordered through gritted teeth.
The servants took the order and left. Time passed minute by minute. Xiao Jinghan waited anxiously, praying silently in his heart that Luo Lingyue would be safe.
The servant rode away on his horse, as fast as an arrow shot from a bow. The sound of horse hooves echoed in the empty streets, like the rapid sound of war drums, beating everyone's heartstrings.
Finally, the servant arrived at the Miaorentang Clinic. He jumped off his horse and staggered towards the door of the clinic. His face was filled with anxiety, and as soon as he saw Luo Lingfeng, he shouted loudly: "Sixth Master Luo! Something terrible has happened! Princess Luo...she has been poisoned! Please quickly follow me to the Wu'an Palace! It may be too late if you are late!"
When Luo Lingfeng heard the news, he was immediately shocked. His face turned pale as paper, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Xiao Qi was actually poisoned? How could this be possible?
Luo Lingfeng did not dare to delay for even a second. He quickly grabbed the medicine box beside him, as if he had grabbed the last straw. Then, he followed the servant and jumped on the horse, galloping towards the Wu'an Palace.
The wind whistled past his ears, and Luo Lingfeng felt even more depressed. Xiao Qi, please don't be in any trouble! He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he could save Xiao Qi's life in time.
