After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death
Chapter 214: Thinking of Beauty
"Thinking of beauty?" Ning Er was confused: "What is that?"
Han Guang explained to her quickly and hastily, "It is a famous banned poison from the previous dynasty. It looks like clear water, has no smell, but tastes bitter. It is very difficult to detect when mixed into a medicinal soup. If you take it, you will die. Before you die, you will feel no pain or itching, but your face will be as rosy as a spring peach. That's why it is called Si Meiren."
He looked at Luo Peng angrily: "What on earth are you thinking of by giving this medicine to Luo Miaoyun? It would be fine if she only poisoned Liu Kui, but if she suddenly goes crazy, who knows who she will attack?"
Han Guang laughed in anger, which was very different from his usual calm and taciturn demeanor: "If it were me, I would have directly poisoned Xin Yuanhou and put an end to it, wouldn't that be the end of it?"
Ning'er's face turned pale as she listened. She managed to remain calm and said, "Hanguang, put him down first."
Han Guang almost threw Luo Peng to the ground, his brows knitted together: "Miss, just in case, from now on, you are not allowed to touch any drinking water in the Marquis' Mansion."
Ning Er walked forward, pulled Luo Peng up, and asked pointedly, "How much did you give her?"
Luo Peng's face was pale. When he gave Luo Miaoyun the poison, he was only thinking about teaching her to kill Liu Kui with her own hands. He did not consider the safety of other people in the Marquis' Mansion at all. In his mind, even if all these people died, what did it matter?
But man proposes, God disposes. How could he have imagined that there was a Ning'er hiding in Xinyuan Hou's mansion?
He found it difficult to speak for a moment, so he stretched out his hand and gestured, "A porcelain bottle this tall has about 180 drops. If used properly..."
Han Guang was so angry that his face turned red. "Ten drops of Si Meiren can kill an eight-foot-tall man! Our master is on guard day and night, fearing that the young lady will get hurt. But you brought such a deadly poison directly into the mansion!"
Luo Peng was scolded so much that he couldn't even raise his head. He bowed with both hands and said with difficulty: "Liu Kui can't die yet. Luo is powerless. I can only ask you to find Liu Kui before she poisons him."
Luo Peng was already in a trance due to the great joy and sorrow today, and now he was even more angry, and his skinny body was shaking.
Han Guang looked at him coldly and was about to speak, but was pulled by Ning'er and immediately shut up.
Ning Er said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Liu Kui is not in the mansion right now. Even if Luo Miaoyun has the medicine, she won't be able to find her in a short time."
Luo Peng was stunned.
Ning Er finally remembered the original purpose of her meeting with Han Guang, and quickly turned around and said, "Mrs. Luo's personal maid Bai Juan caught two maids discussing Liu Kui's whereabouts, and now the second master is taking people to look for him."
She looked thoughtful, "It's just that this matter is a little strange. I always wonder if someone is secretly plotting this."
She turned to look at Luo Peng: "How much do you know about Ye Zhen?"
Luo Peng closed his eyes and leaned against the tree. He took out a bottle of pills from his arms and put two pills under his tongue before calming himself down: "Liu Kui is in your hands."
He let out a long sigh, "That's good. As for Ye Zhen," he slowly opened his eyes, "I'm not familiar with her. I only know that she was a maid in Luo Miaoyun's room. When my sister lived in Luo's mansion, she rarely showed up in public to avoid gossip, but she may have met Ye Zhen once or twice. So, she should have seen my sister."
Ning'er thought to herself that Aunt Ye had met her mother, so when she saw her at first, she had some assumptions and brought her into the game without hesitation.
Ye Zhen is meticulous and decisive, and she always plans before taking action. According to her style of doing things, the two people that Bai Juan met tonight might have been chess pieces she deliberately threw out.
In this case……
She raised her eyes and looked at Han Guang: "Can you help me send a letter to Lu Kui and ask him what's going on with Liu Kui?"
Han Guang disagreed and said, "Miss, the situation is critical now. Han Guang cannot leave your side for a moment."
When Luo Peng heard that Ning'er was going to send Lu Kui to do something, it was exactly what he had said before, and he couldn't help feeling surprised and suspicious.
Ning'er was young and a girl in the boudoir. Even if she had heard of it, she didn't know what the two words "Lu Kui" meant like him, who had been immersed in political affairs for many years.
In her mouth, such a trusted confidant of the emperor and important official of the court seemed like sending a servant to a house. And looking at Han Guang's reaction, he didn't think it was strange at all, and felt that it was natural.
What exactly did Ning'er go through, and who was behind her? Was that person treacherous or loyal, and what was he thinking?
Luo Peng was conflicted, but this was just the first time they met as uncle and nephew, and they were not yet close to each other. Ning'er had her own adventure, and he didn't want to ask her about it, for fear of offending her.
I only heard her objection: "It's no big deal. I won't eat or drink and will hide in my room. I don't think Mrs. Luo will notice me at this time."
Han Guang felt even more uneasy when he heard this, and could only coax his young mistress softly, "Miss, how can this be done? It is already inappropriate to let you stay in the Marquis' Mansion at this time, let alone leaving you alone? If the master finds out, how will Han Guang explain it?"
Ning Er was determined: "If Ye Zhen makes a move, it might involve the Marquis' Mansion. If I don't go this time, won't I be even more worried?"
Although what he said made sense, at this time, letting Han Guang leave Ning'er would undoubtedly be more risky.
After all, the emperor placed himself by Miss Ning's side with the sole purpose of protecting her safety.
He was in a dilemma, and the two of them were stuck in a stalemate for a while.
Luo Peng suddenly said, "Han Guang can't leave you."
Ning'er opened her eyes wide and was about to retort, but then she heard Luo Peng say, "I'll go find Lord Lu for you."
Ning Er was stunned for a moment: "How can this be possible?"
Luo Peng looked at Han Guang: "Why not? It all depends on whether you are willing to believe me."
Han Guang was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to look at Ning Er: "What do you think, young lady?"
Ning'er was conflicted, but now was not the time to delay. She glanced at Luo Peng and said, "Have you thought it through? Lu Kui doesn't have a good temper."
She said it tactfully, but it made Luo Peng laugh: "Who in the capital doesn't know Lord Lu's reputation? If you trust me, I will definitely do it for you."
Finally, they each took a step back and reached a compromise. Taking the token and the method Han Guang had given him to find the person, Luo Peng left the mansion silently.
Before parting, he bowed to Han Guang and said, "I don't know whose family you are a distinguished guest of, but I ask you to take good care of this child."
Han Guang turned around, clasped his fists, and said solemnly: "I will die for you."
Luo Peng looked at Ning'er reluctantly and said softly, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away like this?"
Ning'er still had tears on her face, and she chuckled when she heard this:
"Don't be afraid, uncle."
-----
"Sir." A boy in a short black robe knelt in front of the couch, holding his breath.
Under a solitary lamp, a handsome young man in a crimson robe was drinking alone facing the moon.
He raised his eyes lazily: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb us for no reason? Tell me, is there any new news?"
The clerk frowned, weighed his words, and said in embarrassment: "Sir, it's not true. A strange man came to the door. He didn't answer anything I asked him, but asked to see you right away."
Lu Kui put down his glass and said, "See me?"
"Yes." The clerk presented an object: "He didn't even tell me his name, he just asked me to pass it on to you, sir."
Lu Kui glanced at him nonchalantly, and his face suddenly changed. He stood up and walked out hurriedly: "Where is that person? Bring him to see me!"
