Yang Xu'er of the Prince of Lanling

Chapter 48: Zhang Zhou, Puzzle, Potential Crisis

The author has something to say: Sorry for the late upload.I've been quite busy recently, and I usually go back to the dormitory to catch up on manuscripts after dark. Fortunately, I can finish them before the lights are turned off at school.I really don't have time to check it carefully, there may be small mistakes or typos, and I will fix it when I get up the next day, please forgive me.

……

……

Why no response?I blushed and buried my head in Ah Yong's arms, not daring to look at him at all.Finally, I still said to go, so shy.With conflicting feelings, I hope that Ah Yong will not react to avoid embarrassing me, but also hope to get his response.Love is trouble.

After a long time, I finally couldn't help raising my head to see the other party's reaction, only to see Ah Yong's face - dull, with a smirk.Yeah, I read that right, really sluggish.I let him go, deliberately acting a little annoyed, a girl like me has confessed to you like this, are you just in a daze like this?snort!

I pursed my lips and let Ah Yong go, and said angrily on purpose: "Since you didn't hear it, then just pretend I didn't say it." After I finished speaking, I turned around and left. Of course, I was caught by a big hand before I took two steps, and I started again. Pulled back into his arms.

"Xu'er, I'm very happy. I'm really happy." I felt that the arm holding me was stronger, which made me and Ah Yong's bodies get closer, and I even clearly felt his heart beating. "I thought you--"

"What do you think of me? Do you have no confidence in me or in yourself?" It's rare for Ah Yong to be deflated. He usually looks gentle, but he is actually a black-bellied fox. How can anyone dare to tease him?Such an opportunity must not be missed.

"without me……"

The way Ah Yong hurriedly explained, entertained me very well.Covering his mouth and laughing non-stop, Ah Yong understood that I was joking with him so suddenly, he was not angry, and he didn't think of a way to win the round, instead he looked at me dotingly.It feels so good to be pampered.In a good mood, I took the initiative to hold his big hand and said to him: "Let's go."

"Where?"

"Of course we're going back! Let's just come out like this. It's not good to leave fourth master there alone, he just woke up." Relying on my own strength, I climbed neatly on the back of the horse, and looked down at him with a displeased face. The willing Ah Yong shouted: "Hurry up."

"Oh."

After Ah Yong got on the horse, we rode slowly and walked into the village.Feeling someone's jealousy behind me, I sighed helplessly, it seems that I still need to explain it. "Ah Yong, fourth master is Xue Wu's husband." I paused after speaking, but seeing that he still didn't respond, I added: "He is my brother-in-law."

"I know. But I still don't like you being so close to him and calling him fourth master. "

"Then what should I do after I meet him and call him brother-in-law, how about it!" I compromised to the person who was jealous for no reason, and calling him brother-in-law was fine anyway. "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your agreement." In order to prevent Ah Yong from making further progress, I made a final decision and made this decision.

"Drive." The horse began to run faster, and when we returned to the village, the fourth master was already self-reliant. He got up and filled the chicken soup and sat in the house very calmly, enjoying the meals I prepared.

"Four—uh, brother-in-law, how can you eat it alone! I tossed and cooked the meal all morning, at least save some for me." Regarding my change of words, fourth master paused for a second, looked Looking at Ah Yong behind me, he became more natural, like an elder, looking at the two of us jokingly.On the contrary, he looked at me ashamed.

"Don't worry! I left a copy for you. It's hot in the kitchen."

"Oh, I'll get it." I really couldn't bear the look in Fourth Master's eyes, so I found a reason to avoid it.Thin-skinned really suffers, when will I also be able to practice the state of Ah Yong's thick-skinned ability to stand still.

After lunch, I started to pack my luggage and prepare to go back to the Zhou Palace.As for the fourth master, he had already received unanimous advice when it was time for dinner.Fourth Master dressed up as a black-clothed imperial guard, and Ah Yong ordered him to be solely responsible for Xue Wu's safety.In this way, no one will have doubts, and fourth master can stay by Xue Wu's side to protect her safety, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

Saying goodbye to the folks in the village, I told them that I found relatives who had moved to Chang'an a few years ago and planned to join them.Everyone didn't think much about it, they were just happy for us and sent us off cheerfully.

As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, Ah Yong was dragged by Shenju to deal with government affairs, while I led Fourth Master back to the palace to look for Xue Wu.During this time, without my taking care of her, I don't know how she is doing.

"Xu'er, you're finally back." Xue Wu was already pregnant, even though her stomach wasn't very big, she could still see it.Hearing my news, she came here before I could find her. "You worried me to death. You didn't say a word when you left, and you didn't even leave a message."

"Sorry." I apologized, and suddenly realized that Xue Wu's words seemed to have another layer of information almost leaked by me.I didn’t even leave a message, I clearly asked Hong Lan to send a letter to Ah Yong, and I left suddenly, it was impossible for Ah Yong not to tell Xue Wu, let her worry, combined with what he said when he saw Ah Yong in the countryside, we can conclude My conclusion is that the letter I wrote was most likely not delivered to Ah Yong.

"Xu'er, what are you thinking, Xu'er? Are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening. Sister, I'm sorry, I promise there will be no next time, so please forgive me this time." I pulled Xue Wu and walked into the room, "Come and sit, you still have my nephew in your belly ,be careful."

"It's not that exaggerated." Xue Wu couldn't help but smile wryly at my nervous appearance.

"It's always good to be careful. Ah, that's right." I finally remembered the fourth master who was following closely behind. At this time, the fourth master had already changed into the costume of the Imperial Guard in black and wore a hood, so he couldn't see it at all. who is he.I shouted to Si Ye: "Si, come here."

Xue Wu was attracted by my shouting, and finally began to pay attention to the people standing aside.Turning my head to look at him, I meditated on Ah Si again in my heart, poof—no, I can't help it.Taking advantage of Xue Wu not paying attention, I tried to cover my mouth and snicker.Seeing the way fourth master stared at me fiercely, I felt rather proud.

I cleared my throat, and I could pretend to explain to Xue Wu: "Sister, this is Ah Si." I specially emphasized Ah Si's pronunciation, which attracted another attack from the fourth master's eyes, "Recently, the Qi State has been sending An assassin came to assassinate you, so Ah Yong thought about picking someone out to protect you personally. This way we can rest assured, after all, you are not in good health now."

Xue Wu also knew her own situation, so she didn't shirk, "Then I'll trouble Ah Si. Xu'er, thank Ah Guai for me."

"Okay." I suppressed a smile and replied.When Xue Wu called Ah Si, Fourth Master's expression became even more exaggerated, if not, I have to hold back.I really don't know, with a hood on his face, only his eyes, nose and mouth are exposed, how can I see fourth master's tangled and speechless look.Hahaha. "Si, I'll meet Xue Wu soon. From now on, my sister will trouble you."

"Ah Si," Fourth Master gritted his teeth and said the name, "I've seen Snow Dance Heavenly Girl."

"No, no, you can just call me Xue Wu. I will trouble you later. Xue Wu hurriedly got up to prevent Fourth Master from saluting her. I have to say that Xue Wu is really slow in some aspects. Just take me and Fourth Master She didn't notice this kind of abnormal pinching between the masters at all. It's great if you didn't notice it, or it would be exposed, it's good if you didn't notice it.

Knocking, hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Xiaocui came in with a bowl of medicine, greeted us steadily, and then spoke: "Ms. Medicine." After speaking, he handed over the tray and waited for Xue Wu to take the medicine.I took the medicine first, pretended to check the temperature of the medicine, and said: "Sister, this medicine is still a little hot, let it cool for a while." After finishing speaking, I will put it back on the tray.

"Ah, good." Seeing that Xue Wu didn't object, and didn't mind, I focused on Xiaocui.

"I remember that my sister's diet has always been in charge of red and blue." I didn't show any expression, but I tried to speak as naturally as possible, asking the same as usual.

"Yeah, Honglan brought me medicine before. Why didn't she come today? We agreed yesterday that she would tell me about her little nephew." Xue Wu also echoed, it seems that only This time the pharmacist Xiaocui gave it to me, so that's good.I feel a little relieved.

"Back to Miss Xu'er, Sister Honglan has been called by the emperor for questioning. Afraid of delaying Miss Xuewu's medicine, she asked her servant to bring it here." Xiaocui explained.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you. You go down first." After I ordered Xiao Cui to go down, I made a look at Fourth Master, and then said to Xue Wu: "Sister, Ah Si was just released from prison, the first This is the first time I've come to the palace. I'm not familiar with the place where you do your daily activities. Would you like to take him there to have a look? By the way, exercise. I heard that proper exercise is good for the health of pregnant women and fetuses.

"Well, that's good. Ah Si, let's go to the place where I live to get acquainted first." Xue Wu naturally forgot the medicine I blocked with my body, and took Si Ye away.

I smiled and sent Xue Wu away, then put away my smile, picked up the medicine and checked it carefully.Trace amounts of safflower!Xiao Cui, it seems that I really can't keep you by my side.Who is behind you instructing you?Forget about poisoning me, even Xue Wu and the child in her belly will not be spared?

I sat in the room and sent someone to call Xiaocui, waiting for her to come.

"Xiao Cui, you're here." I saw her come in and said to her.

"Miss Xu'er, what can I do with Xiaocui?"

"Xiao Cui, do I usually treat you badly?" I watched her every move, the expression on every word, and made up my mind to have a showdown, and I couldn't let her by my side anymore.

"Miss Xu'er is very good at taking Xiaocui. Unlike other masters, she doesn't treat Xiaocui as a person." I don't know if it's true or not, but Xiaocui probably didn't realize that I knew about her poisoning.

"Then, Xiao Cui." I asked coldly, "Why did you poison my food? Why did you put safflower in the medicine you gave Xue Wu?"

Hearing what I said, Xiaocui instantly lost her composure and knelt on the ground in fright, "Miss Xu'er, I don't. I...just, I..."

"Since I have a showdown with you, it means that I have confirmed this matter. Xiaocui, I am not asking if you have it? But why? Answer me, who ordered you to do it?" I asked a little seriously.

"I, no, I did it myself, without anyone's orders."

Seeing that Xiaocui categorically denied it and was unwilling to recruit the mastermind behind the scenes, I could only sigh.It seems that the things prepared in advance are still used.I patted the table angrily, and shouted: "No! Hmph, it seems that you are unwilling to tell the truth. Don't think that I treat you well on weekdays, so I won't treat you badly, Xiaocui, I am not kind. Man, if you insist on refusing to tell who ordered you to poison me and Xuewu, then don’t blame me.” I took out a bottle of medicine from my sleeve and waved it in front of Xiaocui’s eyes, “You know, I’m the best at making medicines. , Of course, in fact, I am also good at making poisons. You know, with my medical skills, no one in the world can detox the poisons I make, so you can think clearly."

"Yes, yes..." Xiao Cui looked at the bottle, a little scared. I thought she would recruit, but she didn't: "Miss Xu'er, it was really Xiao Cui who did it by herself. No one ordered it."

I sighed helplessly, I really don't know why Xiaocui is so persistent, unwilling to name that person. "Xiao Cui, this poison is called intestine-breaking water. As the name suggests, it pierces the intestines and breaks the stomach. If you drink it, you will feel unbearable pain in your stomach, as if something is rotting your intestines. The person who poisoned me, since you don’t want to name the person who instigated you, then you will suffer instead.” I forcefully poured it into Xiao Cui’s mouth.Blindly intimidating, without showing anything real, Xiaocui might not be able to recruit.

I sat in the room, drinking tea, pretending to be extremely cold-blooded and watching Xiaocui rolling on the ground without frowning at all.After filling the third cup of tea, I continued to look at Xiaocui. In fact, what I gave her was a mixture of special laxatives and antidiarrheals.The two drugs are too mixed in the body to neutralize the process, which will cause unbearable stomach cramps, but it is not harmful to the body.In any case, even if it is to get the purpose, I dare not use real poison to harm people.

"Miss Xu'er, ah, it hurts so much. Forgive me, I, I said, ah! It's the empress!" Xiao Cui twisted her face in pain.

The Queen, it was indeed her.I relieved the teacup and poured her the antidote.Then he warned Xiaocui coldly and in a threatening tone: "Nothing happened today. I hope the queen doesn't know anything."

"Yes." Xiao Cui replied weakly while lying on the ground.

"You go. Find a reason to leave yourself. No matter what the reason is, I will definitely not let you stay here any longer." After getting the information I want, I will naturally not treat Xiaocui. After all, she is only accepted by others. Just instigate.But for the safety of Xue Wu and me, she must not stay by my side anymore.Today, it's a good thing I'm here, otherwise the bowl of anti-abortion medicine mixed with safflower would have entered Xue Wu's stomach and become an abortion medicine.

"No, Miss Xu'er, please don't drive Xiao Cui away. Please, Xiao Cui can't leave here." Xiao Cui cried and hugged my leg when she heard my decision. Yes, she cried.Xiao Cui, who never shed a single tear even though she was in pain just now, no matter how loudly she yelled, actually cried when she heard that I wanted her to leave.Of course, I wouldn't be so stupid as to think she left reluctantly.
