Chapter 742: Scorpion Pot
Shen Qingluan was still in shock, "I saw it clearly, there really is nothing?"
Concubine Lin also covered her chest and frowned, "Where is the snake? Is the Crown Prince's Concubine dazzled?"
Gu Fei laughed, "Really? I clearly saw a red shadow flash. Could the snake have already crawled into my sister-in-law's skirt? The snake is thin and small. Maybe it has crawled in and my sister-in-law hasn't found it yet!"
Shen Qingluan's face darkened. She understood that Gu Fei was deliberately scaring her.
Could it be that she doubted herself?
Shen Qingluan was not afraid. The servant could not be found. The snacks she sent were not poisonous. Moreover, the snake-attracting herb was not available in Daying Dynasty. No one would know that the smell of the herb had a special effect on the little red snake.
She returned to her seat and rolled her eyes at Gu Fei fiercely, "What does the Crown Prince's Consort mean? Are you teasing me?"
Gu Fei smiled slightly, "No way, maybe I'm really dazzled."
She suddenly clapped her hands, "By the way, I was reading a book yesterday and saw an interesting thing. Do you want to listen to it?"
Qiong Niang quickly said, "What's interesting? Crown Prince's Consort, tell me and broaden your horizons."
Xiao Qing also said, "Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, is it a joke? I like to hear jokes the most."
Gu Fei looked at Shen Qingluan with a smile, "It's not a joke. I saw in a book yesterday that there was a kind of punishment called the scorpion pot in the past. It is said that a pit is dug in the ground, countless poisonous snakes, scorpions, etc. are put in it, and then those who have made mistakes are pushed into the pit."
"The poisonous snakes and scorpions will crawl all over the person's body, and the person will not die for a while, and will roll around in it. It's very interesting."
The corners of the princess' mouth twitched when she heard it. This is called interesting?
What happened to Xiao Fei today?
Qiong Niang was most afraid of snakes and insects. When she heard what Gu Fei said, she got goose bumps all over her body.
Xiao Qing imagined the scene described by Gu Fei in her mind, and couldn't help but grab the clothes on her chest.
Concubine Lin also looked uncomfortable.
Only Shen Qingluan lowered her eyes, as if she didn't hear it.
Gu Fei said slowly: "Some people like to raise tigers, lynxes, and snakes, and like to let those things out to bite people. I think they also like this scorpion pot. When will it be good to let her taste it?"
The princess finally tasted some of the taste at this time.
She didn't know anything else. Raising lynxes, isn't it talking about Shen Qingluan?
Could it be that what happened last night was related to Shen Qingluan?
It must be so. Xiao Fei would not say these words for no reason.
When Xiao Qing heard the lynx, she seemed to understand something, but she didn't quite understand it.
Qiong Niang shrank back. The Crown Prince's Consort was so scary that her scalp went numb. However, it seemed that the words were directed at the grandmother, so it was none of her business.
Shen Qingluan could not help it and looked at Gu Fei fiercely, "What does the Crown Prince's Consort mean? Are you talking about me?"
"I just mistakenly raised a lynx as a cat, and my father also punished me. It has been so long, what do you mean by mentioning these things now?"
Gu Fei smiled faintly, "Whoever released the snake knows it. Sister-in-law is so excited. Could it be that the snake was released by sister-in-law last night?"
The princess stared at Shen Qingluan, and her eyes seemed to want to cut the flesh off her face.
Shen Qingluan's face flushed when she heard Gu Fei's direct words, and she said fiercely: "You, you are slandering me!"
Gu Fei suddenly chuckled, "If it's not true, then it's not true. I'm just asking. Sister-in-law, don't be excited."
