Chapter 344: Unparalleled Beauty vs. 709
In Prince Zhao's Mansion, Cang Zhao pursed his lips slightly, and his angular face looked serious, as if it were made from a fine piece of wood.
He looked at the old man opposite him, whose hair and beard were all white and whose brows had been furrowed as he felt his pulse for a long time, and asked, "Old Senior Medicine King, is this king really poisoned?"
The old medicine king frowned, stroked his long beard, and then slowly removed his pulse-taking hand from Cang Zhao's wrist and pondered for a moment.
"To be honest, if the prince hadn't kept emphasizing whether he was poisoned, I would have almost overlooked it. I'm ashamed. I wonder who was the expert who took the prince's pulse earlier?"
The old medicine king looked fascinated.
He used to think that he was the best in the world, but now he suddenly realizes that there is always someone better than you!
It's all my fault for being so short-sighted and a frog in a well.
He spoke shamefully.
"I still suggest that Your Highness go and ask the saint who diagnosed Your Highness' pulse to prescribe medicine. If I come here, I'm afraid that Your Highness's poison will be delayed for a while, which may cause more harm to your body."
Cang Zhao looked a little dazed.
Really poisoned?
And the holy hand?
The young face with hideous scars suddenly came to his mind. He opened his lips but still did not tell the King of Medicine.
The so-called sage hand mentioned by the King of Medicine was only about sixteen years old.
If the old medicine king knew about this, he probably wouldn’t be able to bear the blow, right?
It’s better not to stimulate the elderly too much.
"Okay, I will go find her. If necessary, I will send someone to Medicine King Valley to find you."
The old Medicine King waited eagerly, but he didn't hear Prince Cang Zhao say that he would introduce a sage to him. His old face was immediately filled with disappointment.
After seeing off the reluctant old Medicine King, Cang Zhao's handsome face suddenly became gloomy.
'So, who was the one who poisoned me? And the time of poisoning can be traced back to three years ago, and it has not stopped in these years, which means that the person who poisoned me must be someone close to me! '
This result made Cang Zhao very upset.
If someone close to him really poisoned him, it means he was not on guard against the person who poisoned him, and he might even be very close to the person, so that person had the opportunity to poison him...
The attendant bowed cautiously and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to check?"
Cang Zhao closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, there was a deep calm in his eyes, but a deadly storm was brewing deep inside.
"We will definitely investigate this matter, but we must not alert the enemy."
He thought about it and decided that the poison should be administered through the mouth.
After all, everyone knew that he liked delicious food. In the palace, not only did the Empress Dowager leave delicious food for him, but even his father, mother, sister and brother would also leave delicious food for him.
"Has Miss Xinyue been on stage at Guiyin Pavilion these days?"
The follower was stunned for a moment. The prince had really changed the subject too much.
It's totally irrelevant.
However, he still answered truthfully: "To reply to Your Majesty, Miss Qu did not go on stage again."
While the follower answered, he also secretly reminded Qu Xinyue's status in his heart.
He also planned to pay more attention to Guiyin Pavilion in the future, and report any news to the prince as soon as he had one.
After all, he was able to squeeze out so many followers and become the prince's most trusted and trusted follower, all thanks to his foresight!
Cang Zhao was a little disappointed, thinking about how he didn't give the girl face last time and even shook off her hand. He originally wanted to wait for the girl to go on stage again and then go to support her.
It may also help to ease some of the awkwardness and then offer to help with the medical treatment.
Presumably, he spent a lot of money to support her, and the girl would treat him better for the sake of the money.
"Well, tell me when you have any news." Cang Zhao ordered dully.
……
As night falls, the lights on Jinjin Road gradually light up, and the city is bustling with traffic and decorated with lights.
In each colorful building, the sound of stringed instruments can be heard, mixed with the scent of powder, wine, and the aroma of tea.
The girls were dressed beautifully and beautifully, and every inch of the space was filled with sweet smiles and coquettish words.
Dignitaries, scholars, merchants and gentlemen came together, and almost all of them had expressions of anticipation and excitement on their faces.
Tonight, every corner of Jinjin Road will be filled with joy and desire.
Inside Guiyin Pavilion, Rong's mother was busy as a whirlwind, trying to arrange every place in place so that every girl could show her most beautiful side and make the guests who came to Guiyin Pavilion linger.
Finally took out a large sum of money!
The performance had already begun in the front yard, with singing and cheers penetrating the corridor and reaching every corner of the backyard.
But Rong's mother was still not satisfied.
The finale of tonight is Yingxiang, which has been prepared for a long time.
Yingxiang is a famous opera singer who was trained by many famous artists.
She has spent countless efforts on Yingxiang. In the past, she only let Yingxiang try her hand on the stage to accumulate some experience.
Most of the time, Yingxiang was allowed to practice more, and she was not allowed to be a guest entertainer. She was kept as an honest official, just so that she could make a big splash in the future.
Tonight, Rong's mother is going to give Yingxiang a chance to make a grand appearance.
Therefore, she doesn't care even though the total amount of rewards received by Guiyin Pavilion is much higher than that of other beauty studios on Jinjin Road.
Because, Mother Rong knew that as long as Yingxiang came on stage, the unfavorable situation would definitely be reversed!
However, as the show was getting closer and closer, Yingxiang hadn't come out for a long time, and only a little maid who served Yingxiang ran over in a panic. Mother Rong couldn't help but get anxious.
She frowned and asked loudly, "Where's Yingxiang?"
The little maid replied with red eyes: "Mother Rong, Miss Yingxiang's hand was stung by a bee, and she said she couldn't go on stage anymore."
"Can't go on stage?!" Rong's mother's voice was shaky and her face was full of disbelief!
Clearly an hour ago, she went to Yingxiang Courtyard to ask about Yingxiang's well-being, and she didn't notice anything wrong with Yingxiang?
Moreover, there are no fruit trees near Yingxiangyuan, so there are no bees at all!
"Where did she get stung? Where was she stung?" Rong's mother asked with a dark face.
Being able to rise from a skinny girl with not-so-good looks to become Rong Mama of Guiyin Pavilion, she must have an aura of power.
Although this kind of power is not as strong as that of a person of noble status, it is enough to deal with a little-experienced maid.
The little maidservant shrank back when Rong Mama stared at her, and she behaved herself and dared not hide anything.
"Miss Yingxiang just said she wanted to go to the Orchid Pavilion to enjoy the flowers, but she didn't let anyone follow her. She got stung on her finger. No, there's no other place to go."
Upon hearing this, Rong's mother's face became even darker.
Only my finger was stung. Haha, really, how could it be such a coincidence?
In fact, Mother Rong could see Yingxiang's thoughts.
It’s just because Yingxiang has too many things on her mind. How could she dare to hand over Guiyin Pavilion, where she makes her living, to Yingxiang?
But Qu Xinyue is different. Although the little girl is quite smart, she has no desire for Guiyin Pavilion.
I don't know whether to say she is stupid or smart.
At this time, a manager came running over with a worried look on his face and whispered to Rong's mother.
"Mother Rong, isn't Yingxiang coming yet? The guests are making a fuss, and some are planning to go to other houses!"
When she heard that the guests were leaving, Rong's mother's heart suddenly began to bleed.
The people who left were not guests at all; they took away clear piles of money!
But today Yingxiang really had a firm grip on her, and she couldn't go on stage today.
If Yingxiang was really forced to go on stage, not to mention whether she could play the piano well with her hands deliberately stung and swollen, would it damage the reputation of Guiyin Pavilion?
For example, what if Ying wanted to deliberately play the wrong notes and not perform well on stage?
Mother Rong regretted it very much. She should have chosen two more girls to train when she was training Yingxiang.
