Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

The sudden sound startled Xu Kexin. Following the sound, she saw a masked man in black leaning against the slightly open window, with a pair of dark eyes flashing with dark flames. Xu Kexin opened her mouth to call someone, but when she heard After the man in black said the next words, he pursed his lips and looked at the man in black with a complicated expression.

"If you want King Rui to divorce you, you can call someone here!"

Xu Kexin composed herself and said: "Who are you? What is the purpose of breaking into Prince Rui's mansion without permission?"

"You don't need to know who I am."

The man in black jumped into the room and sat down opposite Xu Kexin. He poured a cup of tea and smelled it gently. Then he took a small sip and praised: "They say that 'Jade Leaves Falling Snow' is one of the best teas." It's the best, and it truly lives up to its reputation. Mu Qingyun was so good to Prince Rui that he even gave the rare tea leaves as tribute to Prince Rui."

Xu Kexin's eyes darkened.

Seeing all the changes in her expression, the man in black flashed a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "I have only one purpose, which is to help you win Prince Rui's heart!"

"Why should I believe you?"

"It's not important whether you believe me or not. What's important is" the man in black took another sip of tea: "Do you really want to stay alone in an empty room for the rest of your life and never get Prince Rui's heart? You know, if Prince Rui loves Mu Qingyun, then After many years, I don’t just let it go!”

"Are you also outside the study?" Xu Kexin's expression changed, and she stared directly at the man in black with horror and panic in her eyes.

She heard that the Ninth Princess and the Prince were returning to Beijing today. She originally wanted to go, but more than a month of worry and anxiety almost made her physically and mentally exhausted. She felt really unwell, so she didn't go.

Unexpectedly, the prince not only did not come to visit her after returning to the palace, but instead went to the study with King Qi and King Yue. Although she was sad and disappointed, she ordered the kitchen to cook a few meals, thinking that they would eat it after they finished talking about business, but she waited. No one was there, so I went to the study room to invite him in person.

Unexpectedly, I saw King Yue leave angrily, and the prince said...

At that moment, she felt as if her heart had been torn to pieces, and the heartbreaking pain quickly spread throughout her body. Her whole body seemed to be in ice, so cold, so painful, and she was holding back the pain that was almost ready to burst out of her eyes. Zhidei ran back to Liuxin Pavilion staggeringly.

Has he always shut her out?

But she was unwilling to do so.

Gritting her teeth, Xu Kexin asked, "What do you want?"

Hearing this, a trace of contempt flashed across the eyes of the man in black: Such a selfish and stupid woman, I really don't know how Prince Rui could fall in love with her?

"I have a secret medicine here that can make people sleep for a long time without waking up..."

"You want me to murder the Ninth Princess?"

The man in black shook his head: "It's not Mu Qingyun, it's the Emperor!"

Mu Qingyun relieved the emperor of his drunkenness. The imperial concubine wanted to make love again in the hope of gaining the emperor's heart and love. How could she do as the imperial concubine wished? After all, the emperor's life and death had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to... .....

"Your Majesty?" Xu Kexin's face suddenly turned white, and she broke into a cold sweat: "Do you know that murdering the Emperor is a heinous crime and will implicate the nine tribes?"

"So what?" the man in black said disdainfully: "Besides, my secret medicine will not kill the emperor, it will only make him sleep like a living dead."

"What is your purpose for doing this?" Although she wanted to win the prince's heart, once the incident came out, she, the prince, the people in Prince Rui's house, and her nine clans would all be executed, which she couldn't bear.

"It's very simple. The emperor is sleeping and never wakes up, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. According to the ancestral system, when there is no edict to establish the throne, there are direct descendants and no direct descendants. When the time comes, King Chun will naturally be the legitimate successor emperor. "

Xu Kexin shook her head and said: "Even if there is no edict establishing the throne, don't forget that there is still the Ninth Princess. I believe she will never agree to King Chun's succession!"

"Of course we have a way to get her to agree!"

"What can I do?"

"This is not what you should ask, you just need to know." The man in black played with the tea cup and said meaningfully: "The emperor has already decreed that Mu Qingyun must marry the successor emperor. Only King Chun succeeded to the throne. Mu Qingyun It will never be possible with Prince Rui. In this case, Prince Rui will be yours alone, isn’t it the best of both worlds?”

"Prince Chun and the prince have always been at odds with each other. How do I know if Prince Chun will find excuses to deal with the prince after he ascends the throne? Even if the ninth princess marries Prince Chun, how can the prince fall in love with me if the ninth princess is in his heart? Moreover, the emperor There are palace maids, eunuchs and guards around you at all times, and there are also hidden guards to protect you. How can I easily approach and drug you? Also, why do you want King Chun to succeed you instead of someone else? Are you a noble concubine? Sent by the Prime Minister?"

The eyes of the man in black flashed with arrogance and disdain: "Who are you, the imperial concubine and the prime minister? They have no right to drive me... me! Don't worry, I can enter Prince Rui's Mansion without anyone knowing, so naturally I can I can protect you, Prince Rui, and your nine clans from being implicated, and you will still enjoy your current glory and wealth! The emperor has our people by his side, and he will arrange for you to get close to the emperor when the time comes..."

"Since the Emperor has your people by his side, why do you still want to find me?"

"Because Mu Qingyun believes in you and will not set up defenses against you!"

"Yeah?"

"Of course. As for whether Prince Rui will fall in love with you?" He took out a small porcelain bottle and placed it on the table. The man in black said casually: "This is the 'love of love'. Once Prince Rui accepts it, he will devote himself to you wholeheartedly." There is no room for any more women!" The day King Rui takes it, it will be your death!

"Won't you hurt the prince?"

"Won't!"

Looking at Xu Kexin, who was frowning in thought, the disdain and jealousy in the eyes of the man in black disappeared in a flash, so fast that Xu Kexin didn't even notice: "Have you thought clearly?"

After a long while, Xu Kexin gritted her teeth and said, "I have thought it through!" She took the two porcelain bottles, one black and one white, handed over by the man in black, but her palms were covered in cold sweat.

"That's great, I'm waiting for your good news!"

"This slave has met the prince!"

"Is the princess in the room?"

"Yes, the princess said she felt unwell and wanted to rest for a while."

Just when Xu Kexin was about to say something, there were voices outside the house. She was so startled that she almost dropped the porcelain bottle in her hand to the ground, and her face became even whiter than paper. When she was about to let the man in black leave, she found that the man in black was inside the house. The figure of the man in black had long since disappeared. If it hadn't been for the cold wind blowing in through the slightly open window, and if it hadn't been for the porcelain bottle in her hand, she would have thought that everything just now was just a dream!

Hearing Sima Rui enter the room, Xu Kexin hid the porcelain bottle in her sleeve, straightened her appearance, then took a deep breath and tried to calm down the panic in her heart, walked to the outer room, saluted Sima Rui and said: "I see you, my concubine. Pass the prince."

"No courtesy." Sima Rui's expression was as stern as usual.

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, or perhaps because of Sima Rui's indifference, Xu Kexin was also extra cautious: "Didn't the prince discuss business matters with King Qi and King Yue? Why are you here with me?"

Seeing Xu Kexin who was cautious in his words and actions, and thinking of his brothers' previous persuasion, Sima Rui softened his tone slightly: "My father just sent someone to convey the decree. There is a family banquet in the evening. I and the princess will go together."

"Yes." Xu Kexin lowered her eyes slightly to cover up the sadness and bitterness in her eyes: After the wedding night, the prince has never been to Liuxin Pavilion again. Unexpectedly, this visit was all because of the imperial edict, so how pitiful and pitiable is she?

Neither of them spoke after that, and for a while, the atmosphere was so silent and depressing that it made people panic.

"I heard from my maid that the princess is feeling unwell. Can she be referred to the government doctor for diagnosis and treatment?" Sima Rui asked after who knew how long it had been.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I just feel a little tired. I feel better after lying on the bed for a while, so I didn't call the doctor."

"Really?" Sensitively aware of the tension in Xu Kexin's tone, Sima Rui's mind stirred, and he looked around with starry eyes. Through the thin screen, he saw the neatly folded brocade quilt on the bed, and saw that the window was slightly open.

There was half a cup of tea in the tea cup on the table, and I couldn't help frowning.

Sima Rui walked to the window in a few steps and took advantage of the window to be closed to check carefully. He didn't find anything. He turned around and stared at Xu Kexin, whose eyes were averting. He seemed to be concerned and said: "It's cold and windy. Princess, please remember to close the window. Don't forget to close the window."

If you catch a cold or feel unwell, drink less tea, otherwise it will be detrimental to the princess’s recovery.”

When she saw him staring at the big bed behind the screen for a long time, Xu Kexin knew that her lie was self-evident, and she couldn't help but feel flustered. She saw him closing the window again, and now that he said these words, Xu Kexin knew that he must have sensed something.

, although the charcoal fire was raging in the room at this time, she only felt cold all over her body, her red lips were biting tightly, and she was speechless.

"It's getting late. Princess, please tidy up and follow me to the palace later."

Just when Xu Kexin was waiting in panic for Sima Rui's question, she heard what he said. She was so shocked that she forgot to react. She didn't come back to her senses until Yue Chan came in, and she was surprised to find that her whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

"What's going on, miss? Are you feeling unwell?" Yuechan looked concerned at her face, which was as pale as paper.

Xu Kexin shook her head: "I'm fine. I'm going to dress up for you. I'm going to attend the dinner with the prince."

"Yes." Although she was full of doubts, Yuechan said nothing more and immediately dressed her up.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was full of sunset. Qingyun, who was sitting on the soft couch, looked at the winter scenery outside the window with a calm and comfortable expression. Mu Xue lay meekly at her feet, half-squinting her eyes.

At this time, Zhuyue walked in and whispered: "Master, Mingyue just came to report that Concubine Zhang killed Qingfeng."

"Concubine Zhang?"

Seeing Qingyun's confused look, Lan Jue reminded: "It's Zhang Lianwu, the concubine of King Chun Gangna."

"Oh." Qingyun nodded: "Why did she kill Qingfeng?"

"According to Mingyue, Qingfeng was found to have eavesdropped on Concubine Zhang's secret conversation with Prince Chun, so she was killed. Moreover, Mingyue also said that Qingfeng told her with a gesture before she died that Concubine Zhang had extraordinary martial arts skills and that she and Prince Chun were a fake couple!

"

Qingyun looked stern when he heard this: No wonder Zhang Lianwu, who has always been proud and arrogant, married Sima Chun as a concubine. It turned out to be a fake couple! But, what was her purpose for doing this? And Zhang Lianwu was the one with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

The man in black?
