GBP Chapter 386: Frightened Nightmare
Chapter 386: Frightened Nightmare
The medicine sprayed yesterday was for cats and there was no realgar in it at all. She checked.
That's why I came up with this idea.
If they wanted to frame Qin Shuangchi for assassination and could not bring him back to consciousness in time, they would make the situation as chaotic as possible. The louder the commotion, the better to stop Qin Shuangchi.
But today, luckily, Xiao Hei showed up in time.
Qin Shuangchi regained consciousness in time.
The sword that was aimed at the emperor also turned into a way to save him.
Even if the emperor wanted to find something to hold against Qin Shuangchi, he could not punish him for assassination.
The emperor looked at the queen sharply, and his eyes made the queen's heart tremble.
Feeling guilty.
"No... no realgar? How could that be..." The queen herself was not confident. She had no idea what medicine was sprinkled yesterday.
Jiang Ningwan was very firm, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician to check. If there was realgar in the medicine we sprayed yesterday, it would be impossible for a snake to appear with such a large amount of medicine."
The emperor took one look at the queen's reaction and knew what was going on.
It would be unnecessary to ask the imperial physician to check.
"Forget it. Let the imperial physician prepare a new medicine to drive away snakes and insects. Jiang Zhouye, you lead your men to inspect the quarters of the concubines in each palace and make sure all the snakes are removed."
"That's all for today."
After saying this, the emperor stood up unhappily and left in a huff.
"Congratulations to your Majesty!"
After the emperor left, the queen stood up and glared at Qin Chengqian, blaming him for making a mistake by spraying so many medicines except realgar.
It almost caused a disaster.
"Cheng Qian, go and protect your father's safety, in case there are still snakes in the residence."
"Yes!" Qin Chengqian immediately set off.
The banquet was over, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi escaped danger again, and they immediately returned to their room.
At this moment Ling Jinlan was already waiting in the room.
After making sure that they had returned, he lay down under the bed and called Xiao Hei out.
After Xiao Hei came out, he jumped onto the table and continued eating beef.
Qin Shuangchi smoothed Xiao Hei's fur and said, "Xiao Hei saved us again today."
Jiang Ningwan's heart finally settled down. "Luckily, it was smart enough not to be caught."
She never thought that Xiao Hei would come back. The whole palace was filled with a smell that was dangerous to it, but it ran back.
Ling Jinlan quickly asked, "Sister, this little black cat is quite clever. Why don't we take it back with us when we return to Beijing? If you don't have time to take care of it, I'll take care of it."
Jiang Ningwan nodded in agreement, "Sure."
"We have to stay in the palace for a while. We have to keep an eye on it and make sure no one comes to catch it."
"I'll ask Jiang Zhouye to transfer a few people over to watch over the yard."
Ling Jinlan nodded and patted the kitten's head with heartache, "Luckily, he was lucky this time and didn't get poisoned by the medicine outside."
"You must remember this lesson and hide well from now on!"
After Xiao Hei was full, he lay down and began to lick his fur and wash his face. He looked relaxed and comfortable, as if he was not frightened at all.
But the people in the palace were quite frightened.
They were all afraid that snakes would appear in their homes, so they hid and didn't even dare to leave their rooms.
Just waiting for the imperial physician to make new anthelmintic medicine.
Before dusk, the palace began to spray medicine again, this time with real snake and insect repellent medicine.
Because of the sighting of snakes, no one dared to go out at night.
Only Jiang Xiru went to the Fourth Prince's courtyard.
As soon as she entered the room, Xie Yongan hugged her and sniffed the fragrance of her hair. He said in a low voice, "Your Highness is willing to let you accompany me again."
Jiang Xiru turned around slowly, "He asked me to ask you why today's plan failed again."
Xie Yongan also had a headache. "I have made sufficient preparations today. Who knew that a snake would suddenly appear? If it weren't for the sudden commotion, the King of Chu would not be able to escape this time!"
"This guy seems to be able to predict what I am going to do. Otherwise, how could a snake appear by such a coincidence?"
What a coincidence, there was no realgar in the medicine that was spread.
What made him even more headache was that there was only one bloodworm left of the one he brought this time.
And neither of the two targets he promised, the King of Chu and the Queen of Chu, died.
He had to use this last one to find Xie Chenyuan and couldn't waste it.
Jiang Xiru's eyes flashed.
"Predicting the future? It's possible."
"Well, if you have any plans next, tell me first."
How could she ignore that Jiang Ningwan was reborn and knew more than her.
Any plans Xie Yongan has from now on will be useless.
You have to do the opposite to catch your opponent off guard.
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Xie Yongan felt a little guilty for not being able to do what he promised Jiang Xiru. At this moment, he just followed her in everything without thinking about what Jiang Xiru meant.
Jiang Xiru was a little surprised. Why did Xie Yongan listen to her in everything?
"Fourth Prince, are you really willing to do anything for me?" She raised her arms and hugged Xie Yongan.
Xie Yongan was almost drunk. "Of course! As long as you say it!"
"As long as I can do it, I am willing to do it for you!"
After saying that, he leaned over and kissed her.
The doors and windows reflected two figures kissing passionately, so tenderly and affectionately, as if they loved each other so deeply that they wanted to rub each other into their bodies.
Qin Chengqian, who was not far away, looked quietly at the reflection on the doors and windows, feeling as if a sharp thorn had pierced his heart!
……
late at night.
The emperor was awakened by a nightmare and broke out in a cold sweat.
Before he could come to his senses, he saw the person sleeping on the bed, threw him up, and shouted angrily: "Get out!"
Xiang Sui, who was awakened, was terrified and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I wonder what Xiang Sui did wrong?"
"Get out!" The emperor was too lazy to say another word.
Hai Dehong quickly came over, "Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare again? I'll go get you some tranquilizing soup."
The emperor frowned and rubbed his eyebrows, "Take her out! She won't need anyone to sleep with her overnight from now on."
"Yes!"
Xiangsui was completely confused and had no idea what she had done wrong. She just begged for mercy in panic, but was still forcibly dragged out by Eunuch Hai.
Soon Hai Dehong brought a tranquilizing soup and gave it to the emperor.
After drinking it, the emperor still felt palpitations and realized that he had broken out in a cold sweat in his dream.
I haven't had a nightmare for six or seven years.
Tonight, he dreamed again of being killed and having his throne taken away.
At this moment, his mind was filled with the scene of Qin Shuangchi stabbing him with a sword today. The murderous eyes and the sharp sword were exactly the same as the nightmare he had every day many years ago.
He was certain that Qin Shuangchi must have rebellious intentions and would kill him sooner or later!
Because this throne originally belonged to Qin Shuangchi.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the best among his brothers. He learns faster than others and remembers better than others. His father has always praised him and never looked down on him.
The ministers in the court privately said that he was the best candidate to inherit the throne.
They all trained him as the future emperor.
He has always thought so.
But it was not until the birth of Little Sixteen, who could recite poems at the age of three, hold a sword at the age of five, and accompany his father on horseback hunting at the age of ten, that all his glory and favor were taken away.
His father could no longer see him.
Until his death, he was still concerned about the Sixteenth Little Prince and even wanted to pass the throne to him, completely disregarding the situation of the eldest son.
He worked so hard for so many years, it's like a joke.
Although he finally got the throne, the little Sixteenth year old, who had recovered the north at a young age, became a hero admired by everyone. All the court officials praised him. How could he not be afraid of him?
During the glorious years of Little Sixteen, he had nightmares every night. He dreamed that Little Sixteen was wearing silver armor, full of vigor and vitality, and that a sword stabbed him in the chest.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He would never allow that day to come!
