067 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Zhuojiu

Cinnabar?

Yan Zhaozhao’s pretty eyebrows frowned slightly. The herbal sachet hanging on the bed was given by the Queen Mother to each palace during the annual banquet, and asked them to take it back and hang it on the bed. The herbal medicine inside would have a soothing effect, and even the emperor got one.Because it was given by the Empress Dowager, no one in the palace dared to hang it up. She hung it on the couch for a long time, and nothing ever happened.

Ming Shang saw the Queen’s puzzled look and took the lead to explain, “Don’t worry, Madam, the herbal medicine bag is indeed a soothing thing. Even cinnabar, if used properly, is an excellent medicine. But once cinnabar and Datura are mixed with each other, they will be poisonous, and hallucinations will appear. If you are in a nightmare, you will not be able to wake up. Over time, the poison will penetrate into the bone marrow, which will damage the body and lead to death of a sudden illness.”

Yan Zhaozhao frowned even more tightly, and chills ran down her spine.This person’s scheming is obvious. She is using the Queen Mother to set a fatal trap for herself!There are herbal bags all over the palace. That person only needs to mix Datura into the soothing spices, and he can take the lives of others at will in the harem without anyone noticing, and he does it cleanly and neatly. If Xie Ciyan hadn’t found out here today, she would have been killed in a daze. Even if she died and became a wisp of wronged soul, they would think it was the wronged soul coming back to demand her life. They never imagined that there was such a mastermind behind this.

Her heart was beating wildly, and the uneasy feeling suddenly invaded her. The man’s hands had already reached into her palace, but she had no clue about the person who harmed her, let alone uncovering the person who murdered her.

“Who lights this soothing incense and who keeps it?” Xie Ciyan’s face became more gloomy, as if he also realized that the person who wanted to harm Yan Zhaozhao was not simple.To be able to come up with such a scheme to bring a resentful ghost back to claim his life is even more profound.

A trace of murderous intent flashed across his eyes. There were too many restless people in the palace.Xie Ciyan made a mental calculation to implement the plan in advance, so that the already filthy palace could be cleaned up as soon as possible.

Bi Luo also realized that the matter was serious, and the only one who could interfere with the empress’s calming fragrance was the people from Fengyi Palace.”The Empress likes to be quiet. On weekdays, most of the servants in the inner palace serve her closely. The servants burn the soothing incense before the queen rests. On weekdays, the soothing incense is stored in the warehouse. When it is time to burn it, it will be fetched by the maids waiting outside the palace, and then the servants will light it.”

“Where is the warehouse key? Who has it with?” The soft little hand in the palm suddenly turned cold. After Xie Ciyan noticed it, he calmly spread his palm and covered it with his other hand, rubbing it gently, using the warmth of his own palm to warm her hand.

Yan Zhaozhao was stunned, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Xie Ciyan. The man’s eyes were still on Bi Luo, and his sharp eyes seemed to be observing whether Bi Luo was telling the truth, but the action of warming her hands was gentle and tender.Her heart suddenly felt warm. Everyone knew about the regent’s reputation in the court. The courtiers all said that he was a cold-hearted and inhuman evil ghost who could be cruel to anyone.But this man, who was like a devil to others, gave all his tenderness to himself.

She quietly moved her body and moved closer to Xie Ciyan. Their robes touched each other, and her breath was filled with his good smell, and she suddenly felt much more at ease.Then, when no one was paying attention, she suddenly pursed her red lips and quickly wanted to kiss his handsome face.But she didn’t expect the difference between their bodies. She was a little shorter than Xie Ciyan, her head only reached his shoulders, and the passionate kiss she just gave landed on the side of his neck.

The man who was asking the question was shocked when he felt the soft touch on his neck. He immediately turned his head to look at the woman flirting with him, only to see that the little guy lowered his head in shame, but the crimson edges of his ears betrayed her.Xie Ciyan didn’t show it on his face, but he was extremely happy in his heart. He glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground with their heads hanging down. He also imitated Yan Zhaozhao’s actions, but instead of kissing her, he opened his thin lips and bit her red ear edge.

Unable to reach and avoid being bitten, Yan Zhaozhao unconsciously let out a soft groan in her throat. She suddenly remembered that there was someone else here, and hurriedly covered her small mouth with both hands. Her pair of twinkling eyes stared at him with a bit of surprise, and then turned her head back in embarrassment.The smart and charming movements tugged at his heartstrings, and the unquenched fire that had accumulated in his body in the morning was rekindled.

He gritted his teeth and endured it. At this moment, he just wanted to find out the poisoning as soon as possible, and then he hugged the annoying little goblin in his arms and kissed every part of her body.

Xie Ciyan’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and his thoughts seemed to have drifted to no where, but Bi Luo’s voice suddenly pulled him back.”There are three keys to the warehouse. One is on the slave, and the other two are kept by the second-class palace maids Chunxiu and Xia Shuang. When the slave is serving in the palace, they go to the warehouse to get the soothing incense.”

Seeing that Ming Shang and Bi Luo were still bowing their heads respectfully, as if they had not noticed what they had just done, Yan Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief and forced himself to put all his charming thoughts on this matter. He could not let his excuses distract him.

Xie Ciyan spoke again, but his voice was much hoarse.”Go and check these two people.” There are only three keys to the warehouse, which is not difficult to check. As long as there is a gap, if you follow the clues and investigate further, the mysterious person behind the scenes will be lifted and the mysterious veil will be revealed.”Let’s check who the two of them have the most contact with on weekdays.”

“Yes.” Ming Shang accepted the order, jumped out of the window sill as quickly as he came, and disappeared without a trace.

“You go down too.” Xie Ciyan glanced at Bi Luo and said in a calm voice.

Bi Luo was stunned for a moment, she thought that the regent would detain her and then investigate her like Chunxiu and Xia Shuang, but it seemed a little unusual that he let her go so easily.But she didn’t dare to ask any more questions at this time. She just stood up and saluted her mother-in-law and the regent. After taking three steps back, she turned around and was about to leave, but was suddenly called to attention by the powerful man behind her.

She turned around and curtsied, and then heard the man say hoarsely: “Go to the imperial kitchen to get some snacks and wine, and don’t let anyone come near the inner hall.”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Zhaozhao suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes full of surprise, and those pure and shining eyes seemed to be asking: “You want to stay?!”

Bi Luo was also shocked, but she did not dare to show it, so she could only do what the regent said.

She didn’t dare to be negligent, but within a moment she brought some of Yan Zhaozhao’s favorite snacks and a few jugs of fine wine and put them on the table. Her eyes did not dare to look at the pair of wall figures who were still sitting on the couch, and she quickly exited the inner hall. She also told her subordinates that the empress was not feeling well today and that no one was allowed to come near and disturb the empress’ purity.

After they left, Xie Ciyan didn’t do anything. He just put one hand on the desk beside him and looked at Yan Zhaozhao leisurely, “Zhaozhao was… seducing me just now?”

Yan Zhaozhao was a little stunned, and she didn’t realize the meaning of his words for a moment. Then she saw the man’s slender, cold white fingertips intentionally or unintentionally glide across the side of his neck, reminding her nakedly.

Her cheeks felt hot, and just when she was about to lower her head, she suddenly remembered that there were only two of them left in the palace, and there was no need to worry about others.Yan Zhaozhao raised her eyes as if unintentionally, and her peripheral vision glanced at Xie Ciyan beside her.The man seemed a little hot, his clothes were slightly spread out, his Adam’s apple was rolling up and down, and there was a faint sense of coquettishness. That slightly sunken sexy collarbone, I really wanted to… take a bite on it.

Xie Ciyan seemed to be seducing her silently. He obviously didn’t do anything, but the eyes that fell on her seemed to do everything.Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks turned redder, the air around her seemed to be getting warmer, and she actually felt a little dry.

Yan Zhaozhao picked up the wine cup placed on the long table with her fingertips and drank the turbid wine in it in one gulp.She licked her wine-stained lips with some lingering interest, and raised the corners of her lips, “Even if I’m trying to seduce you, so what?”

She quietly took off her horse-embroidered shoes and stockings, and gently lifted his hanging black robe with her smooth bare feet, stepped on his boots, and then slowly snaked her way up until she was about to touch the top of his thigh, when her slightly cold feet were suddenly held in his hand.

Xie Ciyan’s eyes darkened a bit, and the evil fire that was stirred up was entrenched in his lower abdomen, making him extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn’t help but want to see what kind of tricks the little goblin in front of him would use to seduce him.He had no choice but to cooperate with the woman in front of him, “Just like that, Zhaozhao wants to seduce me and commit adultery in the daytime?”

The man held her white and slippery heel with his palm, tapping her sensitive and ticklish sole every now and then. Yan Zhaozhao shrank, but the naked foot was held motionless in his hand.Xie Ciyan seemed to be unable to suppress the desire in his heart any longer, so he leaned down very close and placed a pious kiss on her instep.

Yan Zhaozhao was startled, and suddenly tried hard to pull her foot back, but the man still refused to let go.She whispered softly, her voice full of shame, “Don’t be dirty…”

Xie Ciyan raised his eyes and slowly raised his lips, “How could my Zhaozhao be dirty? She…” He paused for a moment, and then spoke in a hoarse voice, with a seductive hook in his tone, “My whole body is fragrant and soft.”

Yan Zhaozhao’s cheeks turned redder, and her whole body seemed to be heated up by his words.Xie Ciyan’s whole body was cold, and his black clothes made him look like an immortal.But it was such a person who actually took up her feet and kissed her like a devout Buddha sitting in front of the Buddha, as if she was his Xie Ciyan’s faith, his god and Buddha.

Her heart was beating like a drum, and her eyes looked a little confused when she looked at him.Immediately, Yan Zhaozhao came to her senses. It was obvious that she wanted to seduce the man in front of her, but why did she suddenly become seduced by Xie Ciyan?

As if not to be outdone, and because she drank some turbid wine, she became more courageous, and she secretly wanted to see Xie Ciyan being seduced and obsessed with her.The corner of her mouth curled up, her eyes were full of seductive charm, her breath was like blue, and she said softly: “How about I dance for Mr. Xie?”
