Mrs. Cheng had already revealed Zhu Xing's true identity to Cheng Qiao before, and she didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to sue her at this time, so she couldn't help but be shocked, and looked at the other party with her mouth open.

"The pockmarked face is ugly enough, don't shut up quickly!" Zhu Xing raised his eyebrows, reached out and pinched her cheek, and before she could react, he untied the jade ring he wore around his waist and stuffed it into her hand, "If you go to Guangyuan in the future, you can come to Xingwangfu to find me with this thing." ”

When Cheng Qiao came back to his senses, the carriage had already kicked off. The place where his cheek was pinched was still a little sore, and he raised the back of his hand and rubbed it, isn't this the place where she pulled Zhu Xing's face yesterday? It turns out that he has always held a grudge, this is looking for an opportunity to take revenge and come back.

"Be careful;!" Cheng Qiao stomped his feet angrily, and glanced at the jade ring in his hand again, the fine mutton fat white jade. I don't have any valuables to give to the other party, thinking that Zhu Xing, as the prince, must not lack anything, I only gave a pack of peach blossom tea, a specialty of Taowu Town, and compared with this jade ring, I seem to be a little stingy.

Cheng Qiao returned to the room a little disappointed, and Cuiru saw that she was not energetic, so she made her a new cup of peach blossom tea. Cheng Qiao sat on the round stool and picked up the teacup, the pale yellow-brown tea soup in the cup floated a few pink buds, smelled the tea first, then took a sip, his eyes lit up, and praised: "Today's tea is extraordinarily sweet." ”

"Really?" Cuiru was a little surprised, "It's still soaked as usual, and the water is also from the mountain spring in the garden!"

"Don't believe you'll taste it yourself. Cheng Qiao handed the teacup in his hand to Ru Cui.

Cuiru took the teacup and didn't really drink it as she said, but just smelled it and replied, "It's really fragrant." After returning the teacup to Cheng Qiao, he said again, "Madame and the girl usually use the spring water drawn from the mountains in the back garden, and we use the water from the small river outside the Zhuangzi. ”

Hearing Cuiru say this, Cheng Qiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: In ancient times, rich people drank tea, and water had to be specially offered. Slowly finishing a cup of tea, Cuiru helped her lie down on the bed and take a nap. As soon as I was squinting in a daze, I suddenly felt a cramping pain in my abdomen. She opened her eyes, jumped out of bed, and hurried to Gong's room.

This run couldn't stop, but Cuiru was frightened, and she hurriedly reported to her mother, Mrs. Cheng. The doctor invited him to take a look, and after looking at his face, he couldn't say why, so he touched his beard and said, "It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal!"

Cheng Qiao, who had not slept all night, still felt energetic, and suddenly remembered the first time she drank the water in the pit in her backyard?

Cuiru was so sleepless by her that she yawned and stood at the head of the bed, and when she saw her girl's face clearly, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak clearly: "Girl, you... Your face..."

Cheng Qiao raised his hand and touched his face, and said in his heart: I can't really guess by myself, right? I told Cuiru to take the mirror and take a picture of it in the crystal mirror, and sure enough, a small face has changed greatly! The little pockmarks on her face have disappeared, and the color of the larger pockmarks is so light that she can barely see it, restoring the pink and white skin that she should have at her age.

It's really exactly the same as the situation after drinking the water in the pit in her backyard before the crossing! Cheng Qiao couldn't cry or laugh a little, but she also drank tea the day before, why was she fine, and she had a seizure yesterday afternoon?

After thinking about it, she thought that it was probably because of drinking that cup of peach blossom tea, no wonder she felt much sweeter than usual at that time. If it was really what she guessed, according to what Cuiru told her before, her mother and her drank the same water, and I don't know if there was any abnormal reaction.

Then he said to Cuiru, "Let's go, go and ask my mother to say goodbye!"

Cuiru helped her comb her hair and change her clothes after washing her tired little face, so she didn't need to bring a veil.

When Cheng Qiao saw Mrs. Cheng, she was having breakfast when she saw her daughter enter the room, so she hurriedly got up and hugged her into her arms, and asked nervously, "My son, is he better?"

Cheng Qiao replied, "It's okay." He also leaned his face in front of her mother, "Mother, I still have a misfortune! Look, is my face good?"

Mrs. Cheng was concerned just now, but now she has a hard look, isn't it! The large and small spots on her daughter's face are almost invisible. Stretched out his hand and rubbed Cheng Qiao's pink little face, crying and laughing, and kept chanting: "Great! Great!"

Cheng Qiao was rubbed around by her, almost out of breath again, and finally struggled away, and asked, "Mother, did you feel uncomfortable yesterday?"

"Huh?" Mrs. Cheng glanced at her daughter in surprise, and when her daughter cared about herself, she replied with a smile, "My mother is in good health." Strange to say, I didn't sleep well until I was scared of you last night, and I don't feel tired today. ”

Mrs. Cheng's speech, Cheng Qiao also secretly looked at her mother's complexion, and sure enough, her face was ruddy and her expression was shining, which was completely different from the maid who was tossed by herself for a night. She suddenly remembered that she had done a series of experiments on spiritual water, and it seemed that everyone's reaction was different. Her mother is not sick on weekdays, drinking the water is estimated to have a bit of a refreshing effect, she is seriously ill and there are still residual poisons in the body, and before the crossing, she was busy decorating the fire and acne, and her body also had some problems, and she kept diarrhea probably for detoxification.

The more Cheng Qiao thought about it, the more certain he was about his guess. So here's the problem, as of noon yesterday, the mountain spring water in her backyard was still an ordinary spring water, and it would become spiritual water in the afternoon. What happened in the middle of this is the key to Yiqiē.

Mrs. Cheng looked at her daughter's white face, the more she looked at it, the more she loved it, hugged her and took a few sips, Cheng Qiao helplessly pushed her mother away and asked, "Mother, where did the mountain spring water behind our yard come from?"

Mrs. Cheng didn't expect her daughter to suddenly throw such a question, she was stunned for a moment, looked at her daughter strangely, and replied, "It's from the waterhole halfway up the mountain, why do you ask this?"

Cheng Qiao thought silently in his heart, and decided to go to the back mountain to find out. "It's nothing...... I just think the water we drink is quite sweet!" As he spoke, he stepped back, "Mother, I suddenly wanted to □□ something, so I'll leave first!"

Cheng Qiao was anxious to find out the truth, and he didn't care so much about turning around and running out, and the little follower Cuiru hurriedly chased after her and shouted, "Girl, where are you going?"

"I'll just go for a walk in the back hills. Cuiru, don't go with you! You didn't rest well last night, go back to your room to catch up on sleep. Cheng Qiao turned his head and said.

"But ......" Cuiru is relieved to let her girl go outside alone, naturally she refuses.

"No, but!" Cheng Qiao saw that it was invalid and decided to be a villain, stretched his face, and said loudly, "Now, immediately, go back to the room to rest!"

"Girl! Woo ......" Cheng Qiao always spoke softly and slowly with her, and the first time she was so stern calmed the little girl, wiping her tears and turning back step by step, "Woo, girl...... Then beware of yourself......"

Seeing the little girl's appearance, Cheng Qiao felt a sense of guilt in her heart, shook her head and said to herself: "I can't care so much, it's still important to get down to business!"

It's another good day, after a night of water evaporation, the mountain road under your feet is almost dry, although it is still soft to step on, but compared to yesterday, there is no muddy and slippery feeling. The road is easy to walk, and people are also in good spirits and have enough strength to climb up the mountain much smoother, and it used to take half an hour to climb to the top of the mountain, but Cheng Qiao only took half an hour to stand in the mountain.

Blowing the cool mountain breeze, the words of the Taoist priest yesterday somehow came to my mind, "This fairy treasure can cure all kinds of diseases and solve disasters for the girl...... She only thought that she had hit the ghost and hallucinated, "I just stood in this position yesterday and threw away that piece of black jade...... It seems to have been thrown in this direction......" She walked down from memory in the direction she had thrown away the black jade, and then saw a waterhole.

"This is what my mother is talking about, isn't it?" she said as she walked around the waterhole, which was much bigger than the puddle in her backyard, but the clear and mirror-like water didn't look much different.

"Did that piece of ink jade really fall down here?" Cheng Qiao squatted down and looked at the bottom of the pool, as soon as her fingers touched the surface of the water, she immediately burst into a circle of ripples, and a faint light enveloped her.

Cheng Qiao only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
