[Three Kingdoms] I am the queen of the Great Wei Dynasty
Chapter 76 Poisonous Wine
The officials couldn't help being shocked for a moment, and immediately turned their attention to the source of the voice——
She is a young palace lady who is not yet twenty-eight years old.
Her brows and eyes hadn't opened yet, her thin body was trembling with fear, her terrified eyes were fixed on the shattered glazed cup under her feet, the candlelight reflected into her eyes through the dross, shining brightly.
The atmosphere was so deadly and still, the little maid became more and more at a loss, her hands were trembling, she could only kneel down with a plop, and kowtowed desperately to her head: "Sikong, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, this servant accidentally disturbed all of you!" My lord, I really deserve death!"
A Sheng was sitting two feet away from her, seeing the little maid's frightened face, it was obvious that she was going to be scared out of her wits, her complexion was pale.
It was just when this court lady was pouring her wine, I wonder if it was because she was so nervous that her hands were shaking because she had never seen a big scene.The wide sleeve accidentally brushed against the glazed cup and knocked it to the ground in a blink of an eye, which caused disaster.
The girl fell on the ground and kowtowed over and over again, her forehead was gradually swollen, with bright red blood marks slowly oozing out.
Ah Sheng saw his former shadow, and ripples were quietly surging in his eyes.
She couldn't bear to look at Cao Cao, and wrote "let her go" in her eyes, knowing that as long as he said a word at this moment, the poor girl would be out of trouble.
But he seemed to turn a blind eye, and looked away with his hands on his head. Perhaps the lives of those humble people were just dust that could be crushed in his eyes, and he could naturally ignore them.
Or maybe he didn't want to look at him at all.
From the beginning to the end, Cao Cao never looked at her for a second.Even if the eyes pass by by chance, they immediately change their eyes casually, as if Bian Sheng is not in the whole hall.
It turns out he still cares...
She was disappointed in her heart, but she didn't dare to express it on her face.
Seeing that he was indifferent, she still couldn't help standing up and being the first bird that no one would want to be, and said softly: "You should get up first."
As she spoke, she leaned over to help the little maid clean up the broken glazed cups on the ground, carefully picking up the sharp debris.
The other maids turned pale with fright, hurriedly crawled over to pick them up together, and stopped them in a panic: "Madam can't make it up, this work should be done by slaves and servants."
A Sheng didn't answer, she just wanted to help the little palace maid out of the situation so that the atmosphere could quickly return to normal, so she couldn't help but move a little faster.
When her right hand wanted to grab a piece of debris, she suddenly touched an invisible sharp corner, and her defenseless palm was accidentally cut, and bright red blood flowed out in an instant, dripping onto the ground, shocking .
"Ma'am!" The maids came over in horror, tearing off the corners of their clothes one after another, frantically trying to bandage her up.
After simply wrapping a few layers of cloth, the ground has been swept clean.
Although these palace maids didn't know who this lady who was dressed out of tune with other noble ladies was, they also knew that the person who could come to the banquet must be an extraordinary person, so they were very courteous and competed to clear all the seats around Ah Sheng. again.
At this time, in order to break the deadlock, Liu Xie thought about it, and finally found a reasonable reason to make a suggestion: "Since this lady's wine cup is broken, let's change it."
"Just use the one on the queen's plate."
Cao Cao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, his tone could not be rejected or refuted, and his tone was heavy.
He looked at Liu Xie with a half-smile, causing the latter to lower his head in panic.
The waiter Zhao Yan couldn't sit still, and regardless of Cao Cao's unquestionable tone, he stood up and argued: "Sikong can't do it! The queen's dish is a dragon pot carved with eight treasures. How can you give wine to ministers and women to pour wine at will! Isn't this an arrogance of the royal dignity, and where is the face of the big man?"
Veins popped out on his forehead, and he clenched his fists tightly, with an awe-inspiring look of fighting for justice.
While arguing, he also stared at A Sheng with angry eyes, bluffing her inexplicably, and secretly cursing in his heart—I don’t even know why Cao Cao came up with this proposal on a whim, and I have nothing to do with it. I know, what does it have to do with me?
Besides, I still dare not use such an exquisite flagon. If I stumble, it is still a crime of deceiving the emperor and I will go to jail.
"Oh?" Cao Cao didn't get angry when he heard Zhao Yan's aggressive tone, but smiled faintly, as if he was very interested, "I don't think there's anything wrong with this, so it's possible to take your servant The flagon for this lady? She won't mind if I think about it."
"This..." Zhao Yan's face blushed immediately, and he was at a loss for words for a while, before holding back for a long time, "How can...how can this be so, this...this is not suitable for etiquette..."
"So give the lady the wine jug on the queen's plate." Cao Cao interrupted him directly, and signaled the little palace lady who caused trouble to come forward with her eyes. Respect in front of Ah Sheng.
Cao Cao pretended to scan the officials, but secretly observed Zhao Yan's expression, and saw the panic in the latter's eyes, and even drops of sweat oozing from his forehead.
He couldn't help lifting his chin slightly, and raised his lips in a contemptuous sneer, but no one noticed.
The little palace maid put A Sheng's wine bottle in front of her, tightly grasped the ears of the Eight Treasures Pot with both hands, bravely held her breath, and slowly poured the imperial wine into the cup, making a pleasant sound of quiet running water.
A Sheng nodded to her, picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it.The moment the lips touched the edge, the coldness of bronze permeated into the bones through the skin, and in an instant, a command suddenly sounded in the ears: "Stop!"
Hearing the shout, she subconsciously put down the wine bottle in her hand, raised her head for some unknown reason, and faced those bright and familiar eyes.
These clear and unpredictable eyes have appeared in her mind countless times, and every time they can make her heart beat, so that the moment she touched those eyes, she lost her mind for a moment.
He finally...is he willing to look at her?
While she secretly disliked her own spinelessness, she rubbed her fingers nervously.
Unexpectedly, it was only a few seconds, and he moved his gaze completely away again, pinched his chin and stared at the little maid with a smile, and spit out a few words: "You drink first."
He spared his words like gold, but it caused Zhao Yan to tremble even more unnaturally, his eyebrows twitched until the blades splashed, and despite his efforts to suppress his expression, the sweat on his face continued uncontrollably, and even intensified.
The little palace maid was overwhelmed by flattery, she couldn't help but put on a flattering smile on her face, her eyes moved charmingly and charmingly, her voice became delicate, she bowed to Cao Cao, raised her wine glass and said with a smile: "Thank you, Sikong, for your kindness. "
In her heart, she thought that Sikong, who had power over the government and the public, had taken a fancy to her, how could she not seize the opportunity and rush to curry favor.
Thanks for her kindness, she put the wine glass that she was going to bring to Ah Sheng into her own mouth with a spring breeze on her face, and she drank it all in one gulp, and she thought she was flirting alluringly, but when she was about to open her mouth, the corners of her raised mouth leaked out suddenly. brown liquid.
Almost instantly, the blood almost spurted out, trickling from her fair face and dripping down her neck.
"Ah——" a delicate female family member immediately screamed, her voice was so loud that it made everyone more panicked, and the audience began to fall into a commotion.
A Sheng's hands and feet were cold, and he stared dumbfounded at the girl who was alive a second ago.
At the beginning, she bent down to cover her stomach and screamed in disbelief, her pupils gradually dilated, her expression gradually became rigid, but the blood from her mouth continued to flow out, wetting her feet unscrupulously.
The girl could only lie helplessly on the ground, writhing in pain in a pool of blood.Gradually losing strength, she curled up and lay down on the cold floor of the main hall, slowly motionless under the eyes of everyone, still murmuring vague words.
"He's dead! Hurry up and save people!" The female relatives were so frightened that they didn't care that this was a solemn royal palace banquet, they all jumped up and shouted in panic, tugging at each other's sleeves to maintain the chaotic atmosphere .
"Zhao Yan." Amidst the chaos, Cao Cao suddenly shouted.
Immediately, the crowd immediately fell into silence, trembling and not daring to say anything more, only hearing each other's rapid breathing that had not yet calmed down.
Zhao Yan's name was suddenly called, his eyebrows shrugged, and his shoulders began to tremble unnaturally.
Cao Cao's sharp eyes flicked over, and Zhao Yan's waist suddenly tilted, and he couldn't stand stably for a moment and fell to the ground.
Then he crouched down trembling in embarrassment, raised his head and yelled at him quickly: "Sikong is wronged—I don't know anything about this, the wine is all poured by the imperial kitchen, how could anyone dare to poison the imperial wine? I have ten thousand guts and dare not do such a deceitful thing, let Sikong learn from me!"
Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, twirled the rim of the wine glass with his fingers lightly, and glanced sideways at him: "Gu didn't say it was you, so anxious?"
All of a sudden, the smile on the lips faded away, and the eyes formed thousands of miles of icy frost, so cold that others couldn't help trembling and shivering all over. They lowered their heads, and there was no warmth in their voice: "If you want to murder Gu Gu, you shouldn't use such a method." It's a clumsy trick of poisoning, and you shouldn't try to deceive Gu with only the Eight Treasures Pot."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yan's complexion turned pale immediately, and the flesh on his face twitched uncontrollably, as if he could hear the rustling of his knuckles when he approached.
In the silence, only Cao Cao's faint voice remained in the hall:
"The appearance of this Eight Treasures Pot is extremely exquisite, but it actually has two galls inside. One gallbladder holds the clear and mellow royal wine, and the other gallbladder holds fine wine, but it is mixed with poison that can kill people instantly. Shicaigu knew this opportunity early on. Well, so the wine given by the empress, I just didn't drink a sip."
"Hahahahahaha——" Zhao Yan suddenly burst into a smirk, his eyes flashed fierce and fierce, he raised his hand and pointed at him, laughing and shouting, "Cao thief! You think you can be safe by hiding from Yujiu!" What? You are so wrong! I, Zhao Yan, smeared the inside of your wine bottle with nuxy and arsenic, and in less than half an hour you will die of heartbroken, poisonous hair!"
She is a young palace lady who is not yet twenty-eight years old.
Her brows and eyes hadn't opened yet, her thin body was trembling with fear, her terrified eyes were fixed on the shattered glazed cup under her feet, the candlelight reflected into her eyes through the dross, shining brightly.
