The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 43 Iron Princess ([-])

In the scorching afternoon, the clear sparkling lake exudes coolness.

At the entrance of the water pavilion, Lin Shu looked down at Qu Hao who was bowing to her.

This man is tall and slender, his face is like jade, his eyes are like lacquer, he is indeed a first-class handsome man.

Because Lin Shu didn't make a sound, the silence around her was scary.

All the maids who followed Lin Shu lowered their heads and held their breath, for fear of making any noise.

Qu Hao kept bowing himself, and when he lowered his head, he could see the pair of soft silk white jade pearl shoes in front of him.

He lowered his head, crossed his hands in his sleeves, trembling unconsciously.

What's the matter, princess?Why did you stop talking all of a sudden?

Just when he was wondering if the other party knew something, the man finally spoke, but his tone was very alienated.

"Qu Shilang, you don't need to be too polite."

Lin Shu withdrew her eyes from sizing up this person, said this, and walked into the "Dongting Waterside Pavilion".

Behind her, Qu Hao straightened up slowly, the man's slightly restrained eyes clearly reflected Lin Shu's back.

She just now... actually called him Qu Shilang?
This is definitely the first time since the two met.

You must know that the eldest princess has a taboo in her heart. Although the two of them are masters and apprentices, she never calls him "Master" and always calls him "Master".

And after her coming-of-age ceremony, she never let him salute her once on any occasion when the two of them met in private.

Now that she has returned from a big victory, why does she seem to have changed her appearance?
Could it be that the things that Su Qing told him just now are really impossible...

Qu Hao was deep in thought outside, while Lin Shu had already entered the "Dongting Water Pavilion".

The walls inside are inlaid with brilliant and exquisite five-color crystal stones everywhere. With the light coming in from the walls of the holes dug around, a lotus pond arranged in the center of the water pavilion is illuminated into a colorful holy pond.

Looking up along the lotus pond, there is a small wooden house outside, which can lead to other parts of the garden through the small wooden house. At this time, there are two people sitting beside the stone table and chairs placed outside the wooden house.

As if they heard someone coming out of the water pavilion, the two turned their heads and saw Lin Shu walking towards them, both of them were taken aback.

Lin Shu thought to herself, it seems that today is really a coincidence, all the people who should come have gathered together.

"It is very unfortunate that this palace came today, disturbing the cleanliness of the two of you."

Following Lin Shu's voice, the two people sitting on the wooden chair in front of them immediately came back to their senses, stood up and bowed to Lin Shu, "Greetings to the Eldest Princess."

At that time, Lin Shu, who was walking slowly in front of Xiao Han and Su Qing, stopped, and she just stopped in front of Su Qing.

Only now did Lin Shu hear Su Qing's words "Greetings to the Eldest Princess" very softly.

Could it be that she already had a problem with the original owner?
Looking at Su Qing who lowered her head in front of her, Lin Shu noticed that the other party's exposed white fingers seemed to be trembling slightly.

At this time, Su Qing's heart was ups and downs.

She thought to herself, why did the eldest princess suddenly stop in front of her?The direction the other party came from happened to be the direction Qu Hao went out just now. Could it be that the latter revealed something to the other party?
Just when she was distracted, she heard that person ask Xiao Han, "Master Xiao, I think Miss Su is really a wonderful person, what do you think?"

Xiao Han was looking down at Lin Shu's tender green palace dress swaying in the wind, fascinated, when he heard the other party's sudden question, he forgot to answer for a while.

After recovering, he subconsciously glanced at Su Qing beside him, only to find that she was trembling slightly.

Damn it, Qing'er has always had a grudge against the eldest princess. She had just said some disgraceful words to Qu Hao. Now that the eldest princess suddenly appeared, she was probably frightened.

But now he couldn't figure out the eldest princess's intention in saying this. Was the other party talking sarcastically, or did he really want to hear a reply?

Xiao Han suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and finally said to Lin Shu, "What the princess said is very true."

Lin Shu looked at the cautious look of the two people, shook her head and said "It's boring", and then left with them.

However, the phrase "boring" fell in Su Qing's ears, which was undoubtedly a huge mockery.

What is boring?Was she suspecting that Xiao Han had lied?Or do you want to say that she, Su Qing, is shameless in wearing men's clothing as a daughter?Otherwise, why did the other party point out the three words "Miss Su"?

She, Lin Shu, is just a woman who hangs out in the military camp all day long and associates with countless men, so what qualifications does she have to judge herself?
At this time, Lin Shu had already walked away. When Su Qing raised his head, his face was pale and there were blood marks on his lips.

Xiao Han on the side was heartbroken, "Qing'er, why do you have to make life difficult for yourself..."

Su Qing didn't answer him, but looked up at Qu Hao who was returning from the Central Plains Road in Shuixie.

She walked towards Qu Hao with stubborn eyes, looked at him and said, "Master Qu, you really shouldn't have written that letter to Su Qing. Su Qing should have been burned in the fire with Xi and Wang, but you just did this In the troubled times, I only hope for the day when the world will return to peace. All of this is Su Qing's greed..."

"Why did Su Qing say this?"

Qu Hao could see that Su Qing's face was extremely bad, and he was afraid that the eldest princess must have made him angry.

His face was still calm, but there was also some anxiety in his heart.

On the one hand, this anxiety is because he still needs to ask the eldest princess, but on the other hand, he feels that the other party seems to be breaking away from his emotional control.

But right now, as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, he still has to speak for Lin Shu.

"The eldest princess has always cherished talents the most. I think it's because she has been disturbed by common affairs recently, and she has a lot of anger in her heart. Now that the six kingdoms are left with the Northern Territory unrest, the world needs us who can work for the well-being of the people of the world. .With Su Qing and Young Master Xiao, we can have a better Ming Dynasty and the world. With Su Qing's talents and learning, he should be the eyes, ears and mouth that don't care about worldly things."

After listening to Qu Hao's reassurance, Su Qing could only force a smile on his face, "So, it's just that Su Qing was narrow-minded for a while..."

Xiao Han, who was ignored by the side, held back the words he wanted to comfort Su Qing just now.

The three of them talked for a while, and suddenly an old woman came here, saying that the Queen had summoned them, and invited them to go for a walk.

Although the three of them wondered why the queen suddenly summoned them, they didn't think much and followed each other.

At this time, Lin Shu, who had already wandered around the garden, returned to her princess mansion.

After lunch, Lin Shu took off her palace skirt, put on a light silk dress, and prepared to take a nap.

Before that, she called Man Yan to her side and briefly explained a few words.

"Princess, are you saying... that whenever Mr. Qu comes to visit in the future, my servant will just invite him back?"

Lin Shu said "Hmm". She was feeling sleepy now and had already gotten into bed.

"Just do as I say."

When Man Yan heard Lin Shu calling herself "I", her heart softened inexplicably.

She said "here" and stood up to help Lin Shu put down the curtains around the bed.

In a purple-gold incense burner not far from the bed, white smoke is rising at this moment, and the faint fragrance is entering into people's nostrils one by one.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Lin Shu opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the gorgeous embroidered curtain above her head, piled up layer upon layer, complicated but not cumbersome.

After opening her eyes, she lay on the bed and moved, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a long time, she shouted "Manyan".

"His Royal Highness is awake?"

Man Yan Xunsheng came to Lin Shu's bed, saw that the person had got up, and began to close the curtain.

Because Lin Shu didn't like crowds of people, there were only two people in the inner hall of the princess mansion, Lin Shu and Man Yan.The rest of the people were waiting outside the side hall and the main hall.

Lin Shu, who just woke up from the bed, had a blush on her face.

Man Yan wanted to wait for her to get up, but she waved her hand and refused. She lifted the quilt by herself, put on some clothes and got out of bed.

"Go get some ashes from the incense burner, and take another piece of unburned spice by the way."

Regarding her master's order, Manyan did not ask why.

When Lin Shu finished changing her clothes, Man Yan had already brought the burnt incense ash and a piece of gray-brown incense wood in two small wooden boxes.

Lin Shu took the two boxes and opened them, smelling the contents respectively, and understood something in her mind.

It seemed that the person who was hiding beside her and wanted to harm her couldn't wait any longer.

She exchanged the wooden box to Manyan, and said, "From today onwards, I don't need any more spices in this inner hall, just pick some flowers every day to decorate. You can find a gap and place to bury these spices." Just remember, don't let anyone find these things."

Man Yan let out a "here", and immediately took the two light and small wooden boxes with both hands.

From His Highness's expression, she already guessed that there must be something wrong with this incense.

No wonder His Highness has been lethargic since returning to the palace.

But she, the person who took care of His Highness's daily life, didn't notice any abnormalities. If the eldest princess hadn't been vigilant, she might have gone on like this for a long time... She wouldn't even dare to think about the consequences.

"Has Qu Hao been here this afternoon?"

"Young Master Qu came before, and the maidservant asked Young Master Qu to go back according to the order of the eldest princess."

Lin Shu gave a "hmm" and didn't care too much, and asked Man Yan to step back to deal with the spices first.

Man Yan, who bowed and retreated, was still uneasy.

How many days has it been since the eldest princess returned to the palace?
Who is so courageous to attack the princess mansion?

Although Lin Shu had told her to dispose of the spices and not to tell anyone about it, Man Yan still got some spices secretly, and tried to find someone to conduct a secret inspection.

When the list with the inspection results fell into Man Yan's hands, she could hardly believe the names of the chronic poisons that were mixed in the spices she saw.

Seeing these terrible words, Man Yan couldn't help but burst into tears.

This, this is clearly someone trying to kill the eldest princess!
