Chapter 56: Conspiracy
Yan Li's eyes darkened slightly, and a cold look flashed across his eyes: "Miss Shen."
"Princess Nanyang?"
"The view from the attic is good. If you can enjoy the flowers while eating snacks, it will be even more relaxing and comfortable." Yan Li said, her voice indifferent to emotion and anger, "Can you ask Miss Shen to go back to the flower hall and help us get some tea and water?" dessert?"
When Shen Huifu heard this, she was surprised and a little hesitant, "Didn't the princess just not drink tea?"
"Go get some, maybe someone wants to drink." Yan Li dropped these words and walked directly to the attic.
Shen Huifu nodded and turned back to the flower hall.
In the flower hall, a maid was clearing away the tea cups on the table. Ling Ning was sitting in Yan Li's original seat, wondering what she was thinking.
Shen Huifu subconsciously looked at the pear tree table in front of her, but saw that it was empty, and the tea cups and snacks had been taken away by the maid.
Hearing the footsteps, Ling Ning turned around and saw Shen Huifu coming back by herself. She couldn't help but frown: "Didn't Miss Shen go to the garden with Princess Nanyang? Why are you back?"
"The princess asked me to come back to get some tea and snacks." Shen Huifu said, turning to the maids working in the hall, "Please help me make a pot of new tea. When I came just now, I heard the princess said that there are freshly baked snacks in the kitchen. , help us get some by the way.”
In order to make tea and get snacks, the two maids took the order and left with the packed tea trays.
"Miss Ling." Shen Huifu looked at Ling Ning and did not miss her reaction just now, "Is there a problem?"
Ling Ning turned to look at Haitang Garden: "Princess Nanyang's tea was drugged."
Shen Huifu was shocked, "Someone wants to harm her?"
Ling Ning nodded slowly: "Obviously."
But Ling Ning was not surprised.
She was not thinking about someone trying to harm Yan Li - Princess Yu was not an easy person to get along with, and Princess Muya was even more arrogant and willful. She had always been aloof and could not possibly lower her face and apologize to Yan Li.
Therefore, it is extremely abnormal to apologize in front of so many people today. It is obvious that there is a knife behind the smile.
What really surprised her was that Yan Li could smell poison in the tea? Does she have medical skills, or does she have some hidden ability?
"There have been too many rumors about Princess Nanyang recently." Shen Huifu mused, "Everyone thought she was an orphan who was dependent on others, humble, cowardly, and very timid. But today I discovered that Yan Li looks much more powerful than Jiang Jingyue. ”
Ling Ning's eyebrows moved slightly: "The prince canceled his marriage to Yan Li and married Jiang Jingyue instead. He threw away his pearls and picked up fish eyes. Sooner or later he will regret it."
Shen Huifu frowned slightly: "But she will marry the Ninth Prince soon."
Ling Ning stood up and walked to the railing to stand. She was tall and slender, with a calm demeanor that was not found in ordinary daughters.
"The emperor gave Princess Nanyang a marriage to the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince is also willing to marry her. Both of these points are beyond my expectation." She said calmly, "It's hard to understand."
Shen Huifu didn't say anything. The affairs in the court were really not something that girls like her could understand, although the legitimate daughters of each family knew more or less about the direction of the court. After all, it was related to their marriage.
But there are some things that cannot be discussed lightly.
For example, the Nine Princes.
"I heard my grandmother mention before that the marriage between Yan Li and the prince was the decision of the emperor, and the emperor's preference for Yan Li was because of her mother." Ling Ning frowned, "The emperor may treat Yan Li as his daughter."
Shen Huifu understood. No wonder the emperor made an exception and made an orphan girl a princess.
"But the Emperor should be afraid of the Ninth Prince because of his great achievements. Why would he marry Yan Li?" Ling Ning frowned slightly, confused, "Does Miss Shen think this is weird?"
Shen Huifu thought for a while: "The holy will is unpredictable."
After saying this, the two maids who were leaving returned to the flower hall with tea and snacks, so the two ended the topic.
Shen Huifu took the tray from the maid and looked up at Ling Ning: "Miss Ling, why don't you go to the attic to enjoy the flowers together?"
Ling Ning was silent for a moment, then turned and walked out of the flower hall: "Let's go together."
She wanted to know what means Princess Yu had prepared to deal with Yan Li. If the medicine failed, there must be other strategies.
I wonder if the calm and collected girl Yan can handle it.
At this time, Yan Li had already arrived at the attic.
"Princess Nanyang, please let the nanny and the maid stay below." Mu Ya stood in front of the railing on the second floor and said with some embarrassment, "The eighth princess doesn't like crowds, so all the servants are staying outside."
Aunt An's face changed slightly: "Princess..."
"It doesn't matter." The corner of Yan Li's mouth raised a mocking arc, "Just stay here and wait for me."
"yes."
Yan Li climbed up the stairs alone and walked to the attic step by step. After turning the corner, he could no longer see the people in the attic.
Yan Li was not interested in guessing how many people were there. She just touched the whip on her waist calmly and secretly said that after practicing for so many days, although her skills were not as good as before, she was more than enough to deal with some scumbags.
When I walked up to the attic, as expected, there was no one at the railing.
Yan Li didn't care. He walked to the door, stepped across the threshold calmly, and turned to look at the furnishings in the attic.
It is very common to have an attic in the garden. It is very common in major royal palaces and aristocratic families, because the big families like to hold various banquets, and guests often enjoy the flowers in the garden. The attic has a good view, and friends in twos and threes gather here to recite poems and write poems. Play the piano and paint. In winter, you can also stay warm in the attic, chat, drink tea and rest.
The environment is good, quiet, and no one disturbs. It is a good place.
So there are neat tables and chairs inside, screens, desks, and four treasures on the desks. There is also a couch in the inner room separated by a curtain... Well, everything is there.
Just as she was thinking this, someone suddenly closed the door from the outside. After a creak, the light suddenly dimmed. m.
The room was so quiet that it made people feel ominous.
Yan Li turned around and pulled the door, but found that it could not be opened.
... As expected.
A faint fragrance came over, and a cold light flashed across Yan Li's eyes, and then his body shook, and he fell to the side without warning.
