"My lord, Ye Huai said that the guards on the west side of the palace have loopholes, so he just wanted to try."

Qing Lan personally treated Ye Huai's injury, and Qi Xiao gave excellent wound medicine. Tang Ling was just relieved when she heard what Qing Lan said, and she couldn't help being stunned.

It was Qi Xiao's design that Ye Huaiye broke into the palace? !

"What's going on, tell me carefully."

"Ye Huai said that he followed us all the way, watching us enter the Chu Palace, he was relieved at first, so he chose a room with a view of the Chu Palace in the inn on the front street of the Palace, and then inquired about the news.

However, the palace is heavily guarded, and Ye Huai spent a lot of effort but couldn't find anything, and it was impossible to sneak in, so he was a little anxious.

He had observed that the guards on the west side of the palace were the most lax, and he thought that if he really had no other choice, he would go into the palace to have a look. "

"Then why is Ye Huai so impulsive all of a sudden?" Even if Qi Xiao deliberately left a loophole, Ye Huai shouldn't act so recklessly.

"Ye Huai went to find Dr. Zhou. These days, Dr. Zhou was the only one who came and went frequently in Chu Palace, so he went to try it, but Dr. Zhou refused to say anything and shook his head dryly. How many days have we been in the palace? Su Qin and Huwei's army had no intention of going to Yuanjing at all, Ye Huai was anxious to wait, and when he heard that the Prince of Chu's mansion was asking for medicine at a high price, he made such a bad plan out of anxiety."

It was intentional... It was Qi Xiao's trick again.

Qi Xiao!Qi Xiao!The organs are exhausted!You have to pretend to be a good person in front of him, and say you are helping him!Damn, Tang Ling actually believed him, and thanked him sincerely!

Tang Ling suppressed her three feet high anger, and asked again: "How is Ye Huai's injury?"

"One arrow wound and seven knife wounds. Fortunately, no vital parts were injured. It's just that he lost too much blood and needs to recuperate for a period of time. He can't use force for at least a month."

"Why are you injured so badly?" There are many soldiers in Chu Palace, but it is impossible to fight more than regular troops like Huwei Army. Ye Huai can avoid Huwei Army and enter the palace. Even if he is discovered, he should Those who can get out of the body, even if they can't get out of the body, they shouldn't be injured so badly.

Qing Lan said with a sad face: "Ye Huai said that there are masters in the palace, so please be careful.

The courtyard on the west side of the palace is abandoned. When Ye Huai first came in, there was no obstacle, but when he left the courtyard, he encountered an evenly matched master. He didn't know well. When he wanted to retreat, Zong Sheng, who was next to the king of Chu, led the soldiers already surrounded.

Zong Sheng's skills were not inferior to Ye Huai's, and with that master, Ye Huai was no match and was captured.

Then he was thrown into a dungeon. "

The west side of the palace is indeed a trap.

There were dragons and tigers hidden by Qi Xiao's side, Tang Ling's surprise flashed by, although it was unexpected, but it was also reasonable, with Qi Xiao's calculating temperament, how could it be possible that there is no one available around him.

Since he dared to set up a trap, he must be sure that those who broke into the palace would not be able to get out.

"I see."

Tang Ling rubbed her forehead, "Where is Ye Huai placed now? Can you go and have a look every day? I don't trust others to take care of his injuries."

"Originally it was in the dungeon, but now it's moved to the abandoned yard to the west.

He didn't say he wouldn't let me go.

Now that my shackles are off, it shouldn't be a problem.

I will go to see it every day, don't worry, my lord. "

Tang Ling was angry, but he knew better that if it was him, he would never be more merciful than Qi Xiao, throwing bait and casting nets, even if he recognized Ye Huai as his person early in the morning, he would be merciless Shoot him, and in this way, Tang Ling, the proton, will have no one around, and the more lonely and helpless he is, the easier he can use and control.

In this round, Tang Ling lost.

Because he didn't know who was his opponent from the very beginning, and he was kept in the dark from the beginning to the end, like a small boat entering the vast ocean, only to be beaten by the wind and waves.

But what really disturbed Tang Ling was Qi Xiao, what was he planning?

Tang Ling was in a trance, and Ayu led Dr. Zhou to check Tang Ling's pulse.

"Well, Young Master's pulse condition has calmed down quite a bit, so I'll take two more pills.

In two days, I will draw up a new prescription for the young master and reduce the dosage. "

Doctor Zhou's words were exactly the same as Qing Lan's.

Tang Ling smiled and said, "Doctor Zhou, can the next post be less bitter?"

"Haha, my son is joking, good medicine is good for the disease.

If you find it bitter, you might as well drink some honey water. "

Ayu was clever, so he said, "It's Ayu's negligence, please don't blame me, I will prepare honey for you."

"It's work."

After sending off Dr. Zhou, Tang Ling casually asked Ayu, "Is the prince in the mansion today?"

"Back to the son, the prince is out of the city."

"Out of town?"

"Yes.

The prince loves horse racing, he bought a piece of land on the outskirts of the city to use as a racetrack, and he would go there every now and then. "

Qi Xiao didn't seem to have left the palace in the past few days, maybe it was because of Tang Ling, or maybe it was because of other things, it seemed that it was just his youthful nature to go out to play after being depressed for a few days, but why Tang Ling still felt strange in his heart, just captured After staying with Ye Huai, he went out...

"Miss Ayu, your prince has saved my life. I want to send some gifts to express my love. I wonder what else the prince likes besides horse racing?"

Qing Lan stared at Tang Ling in a daze, wouldn't he really want to thank that little bastard?

Ayu said: "My lord likes horse racing, cuju, hunting, Pai Gow, and Shuanglu on weekdays. Well, if you want to give gifts, you should give something fun."

"Fun? Like?"

"Well, let me think about it... the prince also likes to collect all kinds of rare weapons."

"Weapons..." Tang Ling murmured and smiled wryly, "Miss Ayu is embarrassing me. I do have some treasures in my luggage, but all the magic weapons in the world are from Chen Guo, so where can I get any weapons? Send it to the prince."

"This...Young Master, don't blame Ayu. Ayu is not a maidservant by the prince's side. I don't know what the prince likes, let alone make wild guesses."

"I made things difficult for Miss Ayu.

It's okay, let me think about it.

If the prince returns to the mansion, please let Miss Ayu inform you. "

"it is good.

If the young master has no other orders, Ayu will go to make medicine for the young master. "

Qing Lan waited for Ayu to back out, carefully closed the door, turned around and was about to ask a question, when she saw Tang Ling opened the two boxes they carried with them, rummaging through something.

"Young master, do you really want to give him a gift?!"

"Well, help me find it, is there anything decent?"

"Yes, but why is that, my lord?"

"No matter what, he saved me and Ye Huai. A gift of thanks is really deserved."

Reluctantly, Qing Lan helped Tang Ling rummage through the box, muttering in a low voice, "He's already going to leave the young master's hairpin.

That's one of my son's favourites.

He is no different from a bandit at all. "

Tang Ling glared at Qing Lan, telling him not to talk nonsense, and said, "I just want to change the hairpin back."

"Oh."

All Tang Ling brought with her were treasures that were hard to come by, and Qing Lan couldn't bear to give Qi Xiao any one of them.

But when her young master spoke, Qing Lan could only follow through.

Tang Ling looked through and found that there were many jewels and jades, but none of them were suitable for sending Qi Xiao.

Qing Lan opened a long box, waved it in front of Tang Ling's eyes, and was about to close it, but was snatched by Tang Ling.

Inside the brocade box is an ancient topaz fan, which is truly priceless.

"My lord, this won't work!" Qing Lan wanted to snatch it back when she saw it. This ancient fan was a gift from the late emperor to Lord Hou. This sweet yellow nephrite is extremely rare and precious. The white jade hairpin is nothing compared to that, and that pendant alone is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Tang Ling ignored Qing Lan, and ordered: "Go, get a blank folding fan."

"Ah?" Qing Lan breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't intend to give this one away, but it's okay.

"go."

"Yes, I'll go right now."

Qi Xiao had ordered that all Tang Ling's needs should be met as much as possible, blank folding fans would be given if requested, and more than a dozen were sent at a time for Tang Ling to choose from.

Tang Ling chose a fan with high-quality wood and a simple style, and drew a picture of a galloping horse on the blank fan.

The "mortal fate" in Tang Ling's hands was extremely heavy, and it was extremely difficult for him to lift his wrist to draw, and he had to take a break after a while. After drawing a pair of fans for more than two hours, he was so tired that he was sweating all over.

Tang Ling originally wanted to write on the back, but he couldn't think of anything good for a while. His hand was sore and sore, and he really couldn't hold the pen anymore. After thinking about it, he decided to give up, lest he would ruin the two hours of effort if he couldn't hold the pen steadily. up.

"Qing Lan, fetch the ancient fan."

"Ah? Didn't the young master want to give you this fan?"

"Let you get it."

Qing Lan slowly brought the ancient topaz fan to Tang Ling.

Tang Ling cut the topaz fan pendant and hung it on the folding fan she drew, and put the fan in the brocade box.

"This...my lord, what's the difference between you and returning the pearls from buying a basket? Besides, this fan matches this pendant..." Looking at the ancient Huangyu fan without the pendant made people feel distressed, and Tang Ling casually threw it on the table. , is simply horrible.

"Nonsense, son, my painting is not worthy of a piece of jade?"

"That was not what I meant."

"Go and ask Ayu, is the prince back?"

Qinglan knew that what she said was useless, so she could only carefully put away the ancient topaz fan, and went out to look for Ayu with her mouth pouted.

Ayu came here twice when Tang Ling was painting the fan. Seeing that Tang Ling was concentrating, she didn't dare to disturb her. When Qing Lan came to ask, Ayu hurried to invite Qi Xiao, and she came in a short while.

"Zi Yi has something to do with me?" Qi Xiao strode into Tang Ling's room, and casually sat on the grand master's chair.

"Recently, the lord has taken care of me a lot. I can't repay the lord for saving my life, so I had to give the lord a small gift to express my heart. I don't know if the lord will appreciate it."

Tang Ling held the brocade box in both hands and handed it to Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao was not at all curious when he saw the brocade box, his gaze just swept over it and landed on Tang Ling's wrist.

Qi Xiao stretched out his hand to grab Tang Ling's forearm, and frowned: "Why is your wrist worn out? Ayu!"

Ayu was waiting at the door of the room. Hearing Qi Xiao's shout, her heart skipped a beat, and she trotted in: "My lord."

"What's going on?! You were asked to serve the good son, how did you get hurt?!"

"My lord, spare me!" Ayu fell to her knees with a plop.

Tang Ling was taken aback by Qi Xiao, and hurriedly rescued Ayu: "It has nothing to do with Ayu, this pair of shackles are too heavy, it's just worn down a little, it's fine."

Qi Xiao looked down at Ayu, the fierceness in his eyes was chilling, the temperature in the room seemed to drop suddenly, it was bitingly cold.

"I'm fine.

Apply some medicine overnight. "

Tang Ling suddenly became a little afraid of this little devil in front of him. His murderous aura was even heavier than that of Su Qin, who had been in battle and was wearing armor. Tang Ling could clearly perceive the mortal danger even if he didn't know martial arts.

"Have you heard what the young master said? Why don't you go get the medicine?"

Hearing Qi Xiao's words, Ayu hurriedly retreated from the house, trotting all the way to get the wound medicine.

Qi Xiao was still holding Tang Ling's hand, carefully looked at the injury on his wrist, and said, "It's not worth it."

Tang Ling didn't understand what Qi Xiao meant for a moment, but the next moment Qi Xiao took away the brocade box from his hand, pulled Tang Ling to sit down, and then let go.

Qi Xiao opened the brocade box, unfolded the folding fan, and looked at Tang Ling's hand-painted drawing of galloping horses. His expression finally eased. He looked at the fan for a long time without speaking. He took it down and threw it directly to Qinglan.

"What are you doing!" Qing Lan was shocked and almost jumped up to catch the topaz fan pendant. If the fan pendant was broken, Qing Lan could lift the sword on the spot or kill Qi Xiao and slay herself!

"Qing Lan!" Tang Ling was surprised by Qi Xiao's sudden pull of the fan pendant, but Tang Ling was even more surprised when Qing Lan blurted out that he was courting death!

Fortunately, Qing Lan caught the fan pendant with quick eyes and steady hands. He was still shocked, but Tang Ling reprimanded him again. He was anxious and wronged, and stared at Qi Xiao hatefully.

Qi Xiao didn't look at Qing Lan at all, as if he wasn't there, he just smiled at Tang Ling and said: "I like the fan very much, thank you.

But that jade is too cumbersome to match the chic atmosphere of the Galloping Horse Picture, so don't worry about it.

I will take the fan with me, and I don't need the box. "

Tang Ling was stunned, he knew that the topaz fan pendant and the brocade box were not suitable for the folding fan, but he didn't expect Qi Xiao to reject it when he said no, and almost threw the fan pendant away, but he seemed to cherish the folding fan in his hand.

He wanted to exchange the fan for a hairpin, but he hung up the fan pendant because he was afraid that Qi Xiao would look down on him and refuse to return it, but he still guessed wrong.
