Zhou Qiong woke up when Matchmaker Zhang's loud voice sounded.

When I woke up, I found that my head was covered with a quilt and my chest was being pressed by something warm.

Soon, he realized what it was and could only purse his lips and close his eyes tightly to pretend to sleep.

When he heard Mrs. Wu say that both granddaughters were engaged, the redness at the base of his ears spread to his neck.

It's really inappropriate to offend someone else's fiancée.

I could only stand stiffly and not dare to move.

When Wu asked the person away and Yunling stood up to leave, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the dead girl's palm pressed on his wound, and he wanted to overturn the person and throw him out on the spot.

He endured the pain and continued to pretend to be dead in bed.

Yunling climbed out of bed and wiped the sweat from her face.

Coming here so early in the morning was really a bit exciting. Just now, she was still worried that Aunt Zhang, who had no sense of distance, came in to lift the quilt and was thinking about how to go crazy and send people away.

Wu locked the door tightly, then leaned against the door and listened to the noise. After confirming that no one was outside, she asked in a low voice, "Is he awake?"

Yunling shook her head, pointed at the person behind the screen and said, "I woke up in the middle of the night last night. I gave him two bowls of mung bean soup. He's still not awake yet, so he's probably a little weak."

She raised her hand and said coquettishly towards Mr. Wu: "Look, grandma, he bites like a mad dog. Don't come near him for a while. I even suspect that he has hydrophobia."

Hydrophobia is the ancient name for rabies. However, she was just joking.

Zhou Xuqiong, a patient with suspected hydrophobia, looked confused: "..."

Is the dead girl talking about him? Why doesn't he remember biting someone?

Wu took her hand and said with a distressed look on her face: "Why are you so harsh? I heard in the past that Prince Zhou was a bit out of character. He was a well-known playboy in Ruidu. I saw him helping us in the mountains that day. , I thought the rumors were wrong, but I didn’t expect him to be a bit..."

Wu couldn't find any adjectives for a while, so she could only tell Yunling and Shen Qingdai: "In my opinion, you two should not go to the prince's side. Let me treat him later and let me worry about it." .”

Zhou Qiong had long been accustomed to other people's comments about him. Hearing this, he just laughed silently to himself, but his mood dropped a little unconsciously.

That's all, it's his own choice, why be sad?

But she heard Yunling say: "Grandma, he is actually not as unbearable as the rumors say, he probably just couldn't help himself."

I can't help myself...

Zhou Qiong was stunned and remembered the scene before his grandfather died.

Grandfather was so thin that he was only skin and bones. A pair of palms grasped his hand tightly, using all his strength, "Qiong'er, you have to live well. You are the only blood of our Zhou family. Grandfather will not I don’t ask you to be so good and smart, but I don’t ask you to be good at both civil and military skills. My grandfather only hopes that you will have a safe and smooth life..."

"Qiong'er, it was my grandfather who was wrong. After your father passed away, he should not have pinned all his hopes on you, made you study literature and martial arts, and suffered so much..."

"Grandpa, Qiong'er is willing. Dad is gone. Qiong'er wants to carry the Zhou family, not only for the Zhenxihou Mansion, but also for you, grandmother and mother-in-law. Qiong'er wants to be your support, and even more, wants to take your place. My grandfather and father became my aunt’s backing, and I didn’t want those people to bully my aunt, saying that her mother’s family was in decline and she had no one to rely on.”

"It's okay, kid. Your Majesty promised me that he would protect your aunt and your cousin. Your Majesty has to worry about their lives and wealth. You don't need to resist. Your mother-in-law, grandmother, and me, your grandfather, just want you to be safe. grow up......

My child, everything that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. It is your grandfather who is incompetent and can no longer protect you. After your grandfather leaves, you must hide your strength and bide your time. Don’t stand out in front of others. They... they can’t tolerate the Zhenxihou Mansion. , I can’t tolerate your amazing talent and beauty... From now on, from now on, just be a dandy.

Grandpa is sorry for you. You promised grandpa to be a dandy and be a dandy who can survive... Grandpa regrets it. If he could wake up earlier, he would never let your father go to war. Grandpa regrets it. I hate it. ah......"

Zhou Qiong opened her eyes and raised her head slightly to get rid of the sourness in her eyes.

Grandfather, do you know that being a dandy cannot protect your loved ones?

Did you ever expect that even your Majesty could not protect your beloved son?

As long as the cousin is alive, he is a thorn in their side. They will not allow his cousin to live, not allow his aunt to go well, and will not allow the Zhenxihou Mansion to be stable.

If he was just a playboy, he would have no choice but to watch his aunt, cousin, and cousin die one after another in front of him.

Grandpa, what's the point of living like this?

cousin......

Thinking of her cousin, Zhou Qiong felt that she had regained some strength.

In the coffin sent back by the Southeast Navy, the person lying in the coffin was not the eldest prince Zhou Cong.

The toe bones of the corpse showed no signs of being broken.

His cousin Zhou Cong once injured his toe bone in order to save him. No one knew about this except the imperial doctor who treated him secretly and His Majesty who helped conceal it.

His Majesty chose to be patient and conceal it, and also asked him not to publicize the matter and only secretly explore the whereabouts of his cousin.

However, several successive investigations failed to obtain the whereabouts of my cousin from the Liu family, and even traces were discovered...

Zhou Qiong clenched her fists, with strong hatred bursting out of her eyes.

There was another knock on the door, "Miss."

It's Lao Qi.

Lao Qi carried yesterday's sack of Tongtuo wood cores on his back and said to Yunling: "Miss, I carefully checked the inside and outside of the carriage. There is nothing wrong. The black clothes are also burned.

The old man asked me to tell you that you will have a rest at the inn today, and he will take you out in the afternoon. "

Yunling nodded and asked Lao Qi to go back and take care of Mrs. Tang.

Yesterday, Mrs. Tang spent a lot of effort tapping the acupuncture points with her hands. At that time, she could tell that Mr. Tang had lost his strength. She thought that she was really tired this morning, so she postponed her trip.

Otherwise, according to the old man's temper, he would have gone out early in the morning to find a solution.

Yunling turned around and looked at the bed. The person on the bed was still silent. The poison couldn't wait too long.

I don’t know how much silver a set of silver needles costs...

No matter how worried she was, she couldn't make money. She took a deep breath and told Shen Qingdai and others about her plan.

"Nowadays, no one else would think of using Tongtuo wood to make flowers, so we can still do this business for a while. The day after tomorrow is the Lotus Festival, so we will make some miniature lotus flowers in these two days."

Shen Qingdai nodded and said with some regret: "This is a good idea. We should be able to sell some hairpins at the Lotus Festival, but we are a little short of time and we can't do much."

Yunling smiled mysteriously: "We won't make hairpins this time."

She gave a trick: "Let's make small lotus flowers first, and wait until tomorrow night, and then I can lend you your skillful hands!"
