Chapter 459 Backlash

Chang Huan is from the East Palace, and there is no shortage of spies in the palace. Xiao Zhile has one more person to check.

After things were arranged, the prince was still restless. It was really disgusting to get the huge worm out of his body -

  It is an existence that makes people want to vomit just thinking about it.

He shook his fan impatiently, determined to burn all the poisonous insects sooner or later.

 Xiao Zhi took out a jade pendant and handed it over slowly.

The prince took it without knowing why and played with it a few times.

 Ordinary, nothing special.

 Thinking about this, a look came out on his face.

Xiao Zhi said calmly: "The jade pendant was soaked by Niannian with a special potion, which can kill the poisonous insects."

"Really?" The disapproval on the prince's face disappeared, and he looked slightly moved, "Have you tried it?"

 “No.” Xiao Zhi replied.

Unhappy with the prince's doubts about the fruits of Nian Nian's labor, he continued: "The fact that the poison hidden in the palace's arms in Mingguang Palace is restless... proves everything."

Hearing this, the prince immediately changed the jade pendant around his waist.

After changing it, he glanced at Xiao Zhi and said, "Little girl, I asked you to give it to me a long time ago."

 The tone of his speech was not without resentment.

Xiao Zhi’s expression was calm and he said calmly: “It’s the same now.”

 Prince: "..." Nothing is the same. If you give it to him sooner, he will feel at ease sooner.

 Brother is becoming less and less cute!

Chang Huan and Wu Yuan came back soon. The two people who were usually calm looked extremely serious and cold.

After Xiao Zhi and the prince saw it, they looked at each other with surprise and doubt in their hearts.

 “What happened?” the prince asked.

Chang Huan’s voice was harsh, “…Your Highness, that man is dead.”

Thinking of the scene he just saw, his pupils flashed with shock, full of disbelief.

The prince noticed something was wrong with Chang Huan's expression, so he asked, "How did you die?"

  Chang Huan: “It seems to have been counterattacked.”

 “Backlash?” The prince thought of something and his face looked a little ugly.

 Xiao Zhi asked the important point, "How will death be like?"

Wu Yuan’s expressionless face showed confusion as he said: “…There are no bones left.”

Followed by the explanation: "After receiving the order, my subordinates and Chang Huan followed the palace servant who had hidden the poison. The palace servant seemed to be feeling very uncomfortable and walked to a remote courtyard in a panic. Who knows..."

The picture he had seen before appeared in his mind, and Wu Yuan was in a trance.

"The two subordinates saw her take out a flat box from her arms, and then the person screamed in pain, and dense black bugs emerged from the box, swallowing her like a tide. In the blink of an eye, a living person It just disappeared before our eyes..."

This incident had a huge impact on Wuyuan. At this moment, he felt as if he had just had a dream.

Xiao Zhi's eyes were dark, "How can it disappear faster than turning into corpse powder?"

"There is no comparison." Wu Yuan calmed down and said, "Your Majesty should know that it takes time for us to use corpse powder on weekdays, but the person in the Mingguang Palace disappeared in a few breaths, and not a single piece of cloth was left. , very strange.”

 After listening to his statement, Xiao Zhi closed his eyes and looked thoughtful.

The backlash from the poisonous bug on that man was definitely related to the jewelry on Nian Nian’s body that had been soaked in the liquid.

 He was inevitably proud of the little girl, and a soft color overflowed from the prince's cold, moon-like face.

The prince looked surprised and said with certainty, "This matter must have something to do with the little girl."

"Otherwise." Xiao Zhi's expression was indifferent, and his brows overflowed with pride, "If it hadn't been for Nian Nian, no one would have discovered that the palace man in Mingguang Palace actually carried harmful poisonous insects with him."

 His little girl is amazing!

 The prince saw his undisguised arrogance and felt sour in his heart.

“Why didn’t I realize you were such a show-off person before?”

 Which outsider would dare to believe that this could be the stable and restrained Prince Rong?

Xiao Zhi spoke slowly and calmly, "I didn't have the chance to show off before." The implication is, isn't there a chance now?

 Prince: “…” I’m really convinced.

For the first time, he felt that his younger brother was a little annoying. The prince touched the jade pendant that made him feel safe and walked away gracefully, leaving Xiao Zhi with a cold back.

 Xiao Zhi didn’t even raise his eyelids, and his voice was tired, “How can a prince of a country have such little temperament?”

 After saying that, he got up and left.

Wuyuan was still not used to the prince returning to Zhongdu, so he was stunned when he heard Xiao Zhi's words.

Ever since the prince took Liufeng and others out, he felt like he didn't recognize them...

 The changes have been too great.

 Especially the Crown Prince, he is always joking!

 How can just having a sweetheart bring about such a big change in a person?

 …

Shen Nian didn’t know about the incident yet, but when she finally tasted the food at the palace banquet, she expressed her disappointment.

 The cooking is not as good as Uncle Wang’s. The dishes are all lukewarm and it is of no use no matter how good they taste.

As if she could read her thoughts, Princess Rong said warmly: "That's how banquets in the palace are. The royal chef only cares about making mistakes and doesn't think about anything else. You will know after attending a few more times."

Shen Nian only came here once and felt that it was enough. There was nothing good to eat, people were making trouble for her, she couldn't go anywhere, and she didn't know why she was here.

 There was nothing to say about the complaints in her heart, so she smiled and said, "...Yeah, I understand."

At this moment, a maid from Mingguang Palace hurriedly approached Queen Mother Yin.

“The Queen Mother, something happened!”

The palace maid leaned towards the Queen Mother Yin and said a few words.

Empress Dowager Yin's eyes suddenly darkened, and her expression was so cold that it made her whole body shiver.

 “There are no bones left?” Her tone was very calm, but it conveyed a strange calmness as if the storm was about to come.

The palace maid was also a witness to the scene of the poison's backlash.

She tried her best to suppress the trembling of her body and said: "This slave and others saw it with their own eyes."

 Empress Dowager Yin didn’t care that a servant died suddenly, she was only angry that the man died at the wrong time——

The poisonous insects she prepared for Liu Shaoxing's daughter and others haven't had time to use yet.

Knowing that there was no chance today, Queen Mother Yin's eyes were heavy and cold, with a biting and eerie chill in them.

In a fit of anger, she stood up suddenly and said coldly: "Lead the way."

 The palace people quickly realized that the Queen Mother wanted to see the place where the incident occurred, and hurriedly led the way.

Shen Nian did not look at Queen Mother Yin, but her attention was always there.

 The eagerness of the palace maid, the anger of the Queen Mother... were all seen by her.

 I don’t know what happened.

It’s a pity that the music playing nearby was a bit noisy, otherwise she would have heard it.

 After thinking about it, Xiao Jinzhi must know, and the little girl calmed down again.

 Empress Dowager Yin left, the queen did not appear at the banquet, and the highest status became Princess Rong.

 The dignified and majestic woman asked the little girl next to her, "Niannian, do you have a place you want to go?"

Shen Nian was curious about many things. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Leng Palace! Can I go?"

It is said that there are many beautiful lunatics in Leng Gong. She doesn’t know if it is true. She wants to take a look.

Princess Rong: "..." Are you sure it's the Cold Palace, not the Royal Garden?

With a murmur in her heart, she looked at Shen Nian and saw seriousness on the little girl's face.

 Is Nian Nian sincere?
