Chapter 127 See Through
Chapter 127 See Through
"Your Highness can't wait any longer! What are you still dawdling about? Start quickly!!!" Ma Shangfei shouted towards the stage.
Huangfu Yuesheng had no interest in watching and just glanced over.
The four actors in costumes were holding the props with shaking hands and were not very relaxed in their movements.
Huangfu Yuesheng lowered his eyes and played with the jade pendant around his waist, stroking the patterns on it.
Ma Shangfei also noticed that she was not interested in opera, so he smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you are not interested in this, let's go out and listen to some opera. I know a place that is particularly beautiful and full of handsome men."
"Isn't that a brothel?"
"Uh... this, this..." Ma Shangfei paused, "Your Highness, if you go in and listen to the courtesan play a song, I guarantee that you will want to watch it every day in the future! And there are also clean prostitutes in the brothel. Whatever you like, Your Highness, I will send it to you!"
If the poison doesn't kill her, I can only use the second plan.
As long as Huangfu Yuesheng's character is raised to be arrogant and domineering, if she indulges in sensual pleasures all day long, even if she dies in Beimo, the Queen will not blame her!!!
A smug look flashed across Ma Shangfei's eyes.
Huangfu Yuesheng put his white fingers on his forehead and said in a light tone, "I feel a little sleepy after listening to this."
On the stage, the actors were singing, melodiously and gracefully, with small drums and erhu playing as the accompaniment below.
Huangfu Yuesheng couldn't appreciate this kind of thing. He felt upset and even sleepy after listening to it.
Ma Shangfei couldn't let the plan go to waste, so he said respectfully: "Your Highness, come with me to watch the handsome man dance, I promise you will be full of energy!"
Huangfu Yuesheng raised his eyebrows and spoke in a slow and gentle voice with a hint of sarcasm, "City Lord Ma is really a playboy in private, and he even wants to lead me astray. Aren't you afraid that I will tell my mother that City Lord Ma is indulging in sensual pleasures, not doing his job, and squandering money. Do you think you can still hold your position securely?"
This is a naked threat!
Ma Shangfei was shocked. Her words confirmed that the Queen had summoned her back to the palace!
If she were to return to the capital...
You can’t keep the black hat on your head anymore!
Ma Shangfei went to great lengths to do this just to poison her!
As a result, she refused to eat or drink tea, and was even able to resist the temptation to go to that place filled with handsome men!
"Your Highness, when did His Majesty send you an order to return to the capital?"
Ma Shangfei still thinks that the reason why she became so arrogant is because she has the Queen backing her up.
The person who delivered the letter she sent a few days ago suddenly disappeared.
She also didn't know what the capital was like.
"Your Highness, when will you return to the capital?"
Huangfu Yuesheng was silent for a moment, staring at her ever-changing face, and smiled, "Guess."
"Ah..." A strange cry of pain came from behind.
Huangfu Yuesheng looked back and saw Tingyu bending over, holding her stomach, her face pale.
Tingyu raised her head uncomfortably and said to the honorable Second Princess: "Your Highness, my stomach hurts so much, I want to go to the toilet..."
"Someone come and accompany her there."
Tingyu was helped away by the woman next to her.
Huangfu Yuesheng's gaze returned to Ma Shangfei, and his eyes were cold.
Ma Shangfei was a forty-year-old woman who had seen all kinds of people. She felt a chill down her spine when she was stared at by her, as if she had seen through her dirty thoughts.
Her guilty look was caught by Huangfu Yuesheng.
Huangfu Yuesheng supported his forehead with one hand, "Someone come!"
A guard came over.
Huangfu Yuesheng pointed at the teapot and a table of dishes on the table, "Take all these things down and test them for poison!"
"As ordered!"
Four guards quickly stepped forward, took away all the dishes, and took them to a room for inspection.
Ma Shangfei was trembling with fear and tried to speak in a steady tone, "What do you mean?"
"Why are you panicking? Stay calm."
"You took everything for poison testing just because a maid had a stomachache. You are suspecting me of poisoning you!" Ma Shangfei snorted coldly, gritting his teeth. "I treated you politely, hoping to resolve the past grudge, but you judged me by your own standards!"
"The results haven't come out yet, so don't take it personally. Or... City Lord Ma really did this, and the crime of murdering the princess is serious. Do you think it's serious? If something happens to me, you can't get away with it!"
After Huangfu Yuesheng said this, Ma Shangfei could no longer sit still.
"Your Highness, maybe your maid just ate something wrong this morning. You can't blame it on my tea!" Ma Shangfei wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Huangfu Yuesheng had a blank expression on his face.
The noise on the stage was very loud. Ma Shangfei was upset and just felt annoyed. He yelled loudly: "Stop, stop, stop! Stop singing!!! Get off now!!!"
Huangfu Yuesheng rubbed his eyebrows.
So what she did today was really unnecessary. If she was Ma Shangfei, it would be enough to use the trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
Lu Rongqi is so smart, but she didn’t give Ma Shangfei any useful ideas?
It shouldn't be like this.
I always feel like they are waiting for her with a big move...
Huangfu Yuesheng stood up.
Ma Shangfei's hands couldn't help but tremble.
The girl stood straight, her eyes not looking straight ahead, her skirt fluttering as she walked, she looked very imposing!
Ma Shangfei was terrified. Until now, she still couldn’t figure out what could cause a person’s temperament to change so drastically!
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
"You want to pee too?"
Ma Shangfei waved his hands, "Haha, no, no."
after awhile.
The drug tester came running over.
The two guards half-knelt in front of her, "Your Highness, a small amount of arsenic was found in the food, as well as some drugs that can make people itch, and there is croton in the tea."
Huangfu Yuesheng listened quietly and looked at Ma Shangfei thoughtfully, as if he was looking at a fool.
Ma Shangfei slid to his knees in front of the girl in white, his voice trembling, and he was panicking without disguising himself, "Your Highness, I really didn't poison you. These things were prepared by Butler Qin, and I didn't touch them! She was the one who poisoned them!"
Huangfu Yuesheng stepped on her chest, but before he could use any force, she fell back in fear. She sneered, "You spineless thing."
"You are so stupid and you want to poison me? Who taught you to do this?"
Ma Shangfei was sweating profusely, his face pale, "I didn't do it. I didn't ask anyone to poison it. These dishes are obviously incompatible with each other, so they can't be poisonous!"
Huangfu Yuesheng opened her pink lips slightly: "Food incompatibility? You admit the fact that you harmed me."
People who don’t understand medical knowledge don’t know what these dishes are.
Huangfu Yuesheng took a look and knew that eating lamb liver and bamboo shoots together would cause poisoning, and eating mustard greens and rabbit meat would cause death.
She guessed that Ma Shangfei asked her to have a meal first before going to the brothel for entertainment. Even if she died of poisoning outside, only everyone in the brothel would be implicated.
"Your Highness!!!" Ma Shangfei quickly pulled over Butler Qin who was bowing his head. "She was the one who put the poison! She also arranged the dishes! This has nothing to do with me!"
