After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite
Chapter 31 Poisoned
Prince Guo smiled happily, "Just now I saw that Concubine Wan brought another maid, and after asking, I learned that you were in Bitong Academy. I saw that you usually accompanied Concubine Wan, and I was worried that you were not feeling well, so I used the flute to lure you out."
The prince looked at Huanbi, walked around her, and asked hurriedly, "Are you okay?"
Huanbi's eyes curled up slightly, with a faint blush, "Is your Majesty so eager for this servant to do something?"
Prince Guo was so anxious that he kept shaking his head, "No, I hope everything is fine with you."
"By the way, I know you are very strict with rules. When it's just you and me in the future, don't call yourself a slave. I'm not a prince either. One of us is Huanbi and the other is Yunli, okay?"
Huanbi said nothing and lowered her head.
Prince Guo was anxious, "Huanbi, I know you can't accept me for the time being, don't worry, I will treat you well, I believe that one day you will accept me."
After saying that, he took out two books from his arms and said, "These are books about the Baiyi people. Take a look at them first. If you want to read any books in the future, just tell me and I will find them for you!
By the way, you have to help me keep this a secret. I will tell my brother that it was my mother who wanted to see it, but no one else can find out." When Prince Guo said this, he was like a child behaving well, looking lively and cute, and Huanbi couldn't help but curl her eyes, as bright as a spring flower.
At the lively banquet, everyone was toasting and chatting, it was so lively. Zhen Huan looked at the empty seat next to her and thought of her sister Mei.
It's as lively as New Year outside Xianyue Pavilion, but how lonely Sister Mei must be inside the Pavilion!
Seeing that the emperor was a little drunk, Zhen Huan came up with an idea, thinking that he would have to be settled down soon after returning. She took Liu Zhu out of Jiuzhou Qingyan and came to Xianyue Pavilion in the dark.
Concubine Jing sat in the palace with a worried look on her face. She suddenly felt nervous at today's dinner, so she asked for leave and did not attend the banquet. It was a good thing she did not go, otherwise Concubine Shen's life might be in danger.
"My lady, what should we do about this?"
Jingpin sighed, "I should have told Concubine Wan about this, but Concubine Shen refused to let me tell her. So... I can only tell His Majesty and make plans later."
Zhen Huan wanted to talk to Concubine Jing for a while and find out how Sister Mei was doing. Unexpectedly, she heard the conversation between the master and the servant as soon as she reached the door. She hurriedly lifted the curtain and asked, "Sister, what happened?"
Concubine Jing looked at her maid Hanzhu embarrassedly and hurriedly asked Zhen Huan to sit down.
"Hanzhu, go and pour a cup of tea for Lady Wan!"
Zhen Huan asked again, "Sister, has something happened to Sister Mei? Please tell me, otherwise I will not be able to sleep or eat well."
Jingpin patted her on the back and said, "I'm telling you, you must hold on."
As soon as these words came out, Zhen Huan felt a chill on her back. She clenched her fists tightly and nodded, "Sister, please tell me, I can hold on."
Jingpin said that when she delivered food to Concubine Shen today, she always felt that something was not right with the food, so she became more cautious and used a silver hairpin to test the poison, but the hairpin turned black.
Zhen Huan's eyes grew bigger and deeper, "Someone poisoned Sister Mei? Who was it? How much did Sister Mei use?"
Jingpin shook her head, "Fortunately, Concubine Shen hadn't eaten yet. Concubine Shen and I were both shocked at the time. Concubine Shen specifically told me not to tell you about this. She was worried that you would lose your temper and avenge her.
Sister, I didn't want to tell you at first, but now I'm telling you, you must stay calm. That person dared to poison Concubine Shen, and she knew you would avenge Concubine Shen. She has set a trap, waiting for you to fall into it. "
Jingpin's reminder calmed Zhen Huan down a little, but she was still worried about Sister Mei. She stood up and wanted to ask Aunt Fangruo for help. She wanted to see Sister Mei, but was stopped by Jingpin.
Jingpin cried, "Sister, I know you care about Concubine Shen, but the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so we should be cautious now."
Zhen Huan thought about what Jingpin said and felt that she made sense. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said:
"Then please tell the emperor about this, and don't tell anyone else that I was here tonight. Thank you for taking care of Sister Mei. I will definitely repay Sister Jingpin's kindness."
Jingpin nodded, "Noble Lady Shen is a member of my palace. I would have taken care of her even if you hadn't told me. But I don't know who is so vicious as to want to kill Noble Lady Shen."
Zhen Huan clenched her fists, and the image of Concubine Hua appeared in her mind. However, there was no evidence now, and if she told the truth, it would be like casually slandering others.
She shook her head at Jingpin and said, "I don't know who wanted to do this, but I will definitely find out the truth about this matter. Now I just hope that Sister Mei can be safe and sound."
The night banquet was over and Zhen Huan returned to the palace. Huanbi chatted with Prince Guo for almost an hour. The prince told her where he had been, what kind of scenery he had seen, and what kind of people he had met over the years. Huanbi was fascinated by the prince's unrestrained and relaxed manner.
Prince Guo looked at her expectant expression and said to her gently, "If it's convenient in the future, I'll take you wherever you want to go, okay?"
Huanbi was moved by his serious look and blushed as she said, "I can't agree to your promise, Your Highness. If Your Highness wants to find someone to accompany you, there are many women in the world who are willing to go. Why bother taking only me with you?"
Prince Guo thought she was angry, and paced back and forth anxiously, "Huanbi, I know there are a lot of rumors about me outside, but I have never been so infatuated with any woman, only you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ah Jin, you can ask anyone in the palace. I...I...I won't hide it from you, I don't even have a maid."
Huanbi knew clearly that the prince was like this in his last life, and he should be like this in this life.
"Huanbi, everyone says that I am romantic and passionate, but that is just a rumor. The friendship I long for is a lifelong friendship with a woman who shares my feelings. Now I have found it, and it is you."
Huanbi was so moved by Prince Guo's love words that her eyes were filled with love. Her dark brows hid her feelings, her red lips slightly parted, she wanted to say something but was shy, and she looked very charming.
Prince Guo had never felt that any woman could so captivate his heart. He couldn't help but take a step forward and want to hug her.
Suddenly, someone's voice came from not far away. Huanbi came to her senses and told him, "I think the night banquet is over. This place is close to the inner palace. Your Majesty should leave quickly!"
Prince Guo saw the lights getting closer and closer and had to leave in a hurry.
Zhen Huan returned to Bitong Academy and told Huanbi what happened in Xianyue Pavilion.
Huanbi thought of the cassava flour incident in her previous life and asked, "Who do you think was responsible for this, young master?"
Zhen Huan sat upright and said slowly, "Apart from Concubine Hua, who else in the palace has tried to kill us time and again?"
Huanbi was different. She shook her head and said, "Everyone knows that Concubine Hua hates to see Concubine Shen and the young lady being favored. That's why no matter what happens to Concubine Shen, everyone will first suspect Concubine Hua. But I'm worried that someone will take advantage of Concubine Hua's name to harm others."
