51. Chapter 51

51 unrecognizable

Xu Zhan listened to Xiao Yu's statement, and his expression was extremely solemn: "You mean, someone wants to Gong Wang's life again, and wants to take this opportunity to frame the prince?" ”

Xiao Yu put on a face that did not stick to the leaves, and said with a smile that he couldn't beat the eight poles.

He said, "Come on, come on, play a game of chess with me." With no one to play with, I'm suffocating to death. ”

There are two sets of chessboards on the stone platform, one is Go and the other is Xiangqi. Both games are halfway through, and both the black and white sides of Go and the red and black sides of chess are in a state of anxious battle. Those who know chess can see at a glance that every game of chess is played inextricably and the form is unpredictable. Without saying it, no one would know that these two games were played by one person at the same time.

Xiao Yu swept his gaze over the two games of chess, pushed away the game of Go and pulled the chess, turned the chessboard in another direction, pointed the red son at Xu Zhan, and said while playing chess: "You will be the next one." You are a guest, let you go first. ”

Xu Zhan fell silent, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, it took half a moment to lose the first game, and another half a moment to lose the second game, and when he didn't have time to lose the third game, Lan Ya had already quietly stood beside him and Xiao Yu.

She didn't speak, glared at Xiao Yu fiercely, picked up the chessboard from the stone platform, turned around and left.

Xiao Yu pursed his lips innocently, like a child who had been beaten, hooked his finger at Xu Zhan, and whispered: "Look, I've been living like this all these days, boring, and living like a year." ”

Lan Ya put the chessboard into the room, Xiao Yu secretly glanced at her, and asked Xu Zhan again: "Is my third brother still in the capital?" ”

Xu Zhan quietly replied: "His Royal Highness King Gong had already set off to return to Lingnan the day before yesterday. ”

"Then everyone in the government and the opposition knows about his assassination, right?"

"Well, there's everything." Xu Zhan nodded solemnly.

Xiao Yu let out an "oh", didn't speak for a while, and didn't know what he was thinking, but after a while, he raised a smile at Xu Zhan and walked slowly: "I think you won't have any results if you investigate further, and you won't be guilty of working hard for this case anymore." Isn't Tang Ai going home on vacation, don't always tighten the strings, just rest for a while. ”

"Not all people are as idle as you."

"That's why I'm going to make you like me."

"This is the newspaper you asked me to bring you. That...... I'm leaving, you can take care of yourself. Xu Zhan's face turned blue, he took out a copy of "Dynasty Times" from behind him and put it on the stage, and walked out of the courtyard.

Not long after Xu Zhan left, the sun was about to set.

Xiao Yu tightened his fur, coughed lightly twice, and glanced at the "Dynasty Times" casually, but suddenly "quacked" and slapped the table and laughed wildly, as if he had lost his mind.

Lan Ya walked out of the room quickly and looked at her coldly: "What are you laughing at coldly, don't you want to die?" I don't know what to do. ”

Xiao Yu pointed to the headline on the front page of the newspaper, and laughed breathlessly: "No, no, no, I'm going to laugh and cry." ”

Lan Ya stepped forward suspiciously and glanced at the newspaper headlines. She was stunned for two moments, and then the corners of her lips were hooked, and she laughed out loud for the first time.

The two little cubs were playing at the other end of the yard, and when they noticed the movement here, they also ran over: "Childe, what are you laughing at?" ”

Xiao Yu waved his hand, picked up the newspaper and shook it at the two of them.

I didn't look at the big headline, but I didn't laugh, but ......

"Ahhh

"Whoa—"

The two of them almost frothed at the mouth and died.

"You two, come with me to work!" Lan Ya twisted an arm in one hand and dragged the two cubs to see the medicine stove.

When it got dark, the courtyard was filled with bursts of medicinal incense, and the old eunuch Cai Fu also appeared at the gate of the courtyard at this time. The weather was cold, but he was sweating, and it seemed that he was rushing all the way non-stop.

The big and the small was pushing Xiao Yu towards the house, and he had to stop when he saw Gonggong Cai.

Xiao Yu smiled at Gonggong Cai: "What kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Gonggong Cai wiped his sweat and legs with his old arms and walked forward: "Fourth Highness, the old slave is here for Princess Xinning, the princess has been ill for a long time, and the hospital is helpless, so His Majesty called the old slave to invite Miss Lanya." ”

Lan Ya squinted her eyes and was not polite at all: "The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital can't cure the princess's illness, why does the emperor think I can cure it?" ”

"Miss Lanya, this ......" Cai's father-in-law's old face was full of embarrassment.

Xiao Yu raised his hand and tugged at Lan Ya's sleeve: "Xinning is also my sister, I am also worried about her illness, I can't go to see her now, you can help me take a look." ”

"You can't die with sores on your face." Lan Ya was not angry, but the movements in her hands were very gentle, and Xiao Yu's hand was slowly lowered by her.

"Okay Lanya, help me." Xiao Yu learned to be coquettish as a child.

"I'm gone, what are you going to do." Lan Ya still had a straight face, but her tone was much softer.

"Didn't you tell the two little cubs to look at me, don't worry, I'll take medicine obediently and recuperate. You see, haven't I been so obedient these days? ”

"I hope you won't be revealed when I'm gone." Lan Ya sighed, and her eyes became very cold again.

She beckoned to come over, and said to the two of them before returning to the room and hurriedly tidying up.

Grandpa Cai was overjoyed, and asked Lan Ya to go first.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and Lan Ya followed Cai Fu to board the carriage and ran all the way to the palace.

Gonggong Cai was still sweating, and his eyes were confused for a while: "Miss Lanya, how is the body of the Fourth Highness lately?" ”

Lan Ya looked at his concerned old face: "Even you know that you care about him, but the high Son of Heaven doesn't know how to care about his own blood and bones." ”

"Oh, the girl can't say this, how can Your Majesty not care about the Fourth Highness! It's just that the grudges that have accumulated between the two fathers and sons for more than ten years are not so easy to resolve. "Cai Gong is about to burst into tears.

"If the emperor really wants to settle his old suspicions with Xiao Yubing, he should take some action quickly." Lan Ya is not smiling, there is no sadness or joy, "Xiao Yu has been eating sugar more and more fiercely recently. His organs had been eroded by the poison, and he was showing signs of exhaustion. Even if I still have a way to control the spread of that toxin for the time being, so that he can survive next year and the year after, what about the year after the big year and the year after that? At that point, I really didn't know for sure. ”

In the middle of the night, the cold wind in Ziweiyuan continued, and the six palaces in the east and west were basically extinguished. At this time, the only palace that still has light is almost the only one left in the Yufu Palace.

Lan Ya was edicted to enter the palace, and Gonggong Cai led the way, and the palace people on duty at night were very respectful to her. When she arrived outside Zuiyun Xuan, she didn't need to be passed on by the palace people, she directly pushed the door and entered.

Although the lights in Xinning's house are bright, people are covered in quilts with their heads and feet. Lan Ya walked towards the bed and lifted the quilt. Xinning shouted "wow", covering her face and about to jump to the ground, but Lan Ya grabbed her arm in an instant.

"Don't move, let me see your face." Lan Ya forcibly broke Xinning's hand off her face.

Xinning's face is not too much to describe as unrecognizable.

There was not a single bit of skin on her face that was still good, and there were big red sores everywhere that scared people to death, and there were even more sores on her head and chin, which were many times stricter than rumored.

"You can't be that Lanya, right? The fourth brother mentioned you to me, you came back from Tianzhu so soon. Xinning was seen by Lan Ya with her whole face, but she no longer hid it, and sat down at the table.

Lan Ya also sat next to her, carefully observing the red sores on her face: "Your face has become like this, why don't you mind at all when you look at you?" ”

Xin Ning pouted: "The worse my face is, the better, what kind of prince in Mongolia will never want to marry an ugly monster as a princess!" ”

"Sure enough, because of this reason, Xiao Yu really didn't guess wrong at all."

"Fourth brother?!" When Xin Ning heard the word "Xiao Yu", her eyes widened.

Lan Ya didn't hold her, took out a small box from the medicine box, and took a bright knife from the small box, raised the knife and poked it in Xinning's face.

"What are you going to do, what are you going to do?!" Xinning jumped up in fright.

"Don't you care about this face anymore, why are you so scared?"

"I ...... It's not like I'm not going to get better! ”

"So many adults in the hospital don't look down on you, why are you so sure you'll be fine?"

"......" Xinning was so choked by Lan Ya that she couldn't speak.

Lan Ya said again: "To tell you the truth, I have the same opinion as all the Imperial Doctors, and I feel that your face is not good." You can only live with this red sore in your life, not to mention that the Mongolian prince doesn't want you, even if your father sees you like this, he has to vomit out what he ate three days ago. ”

"You, you, you nonsense! The third brother clearly said-" Xinning jumped to refute, but halfway through the words, there was suddenly no sound.

"Third brother?"

“……”

"There's no one else here, you can tell me the truth."

"Say...... What to tell the truth? ”

"Don't pretend, the adults in the hospital know medical skills, but they don't necessarily know poison skills. The poison you put on your face was given to you by your third brother? ”

Xin Ning sat back at the table in embarrassment: "Since you have seen through it, then I will tell you." On the day of my father's birthday, the third brother saw that I was worried about the bullshit prince, so he came up and cared about me, and said that he had a way to help me delay time. Two days later, he sent a box of medicine to me and asked me to apply it to my face. ”

Lan Ya raised her eyebrows slightly, and poured herself a cup of tea: "Do you know, you were almost killed by your third brother." ”

"What did you say?!"

"Your third brother sent you poison, but did he send you an antidote?"

"He said he'd send someone again!"

"Did he send someone? Don't you know that he has gone back to his Lingnan? I'm going to tell you very seriously now, if your face drags on for another ten days and a half months, it will really be difficult for most immortals to be saved. ”

Xin Ning was so shocked that she knocked over the tea set on the table: "That...... So what should I do?! ”

"With me, you just listen to me." Lanya took another sip of tea.

As soon as Lan Ya left for three or five days, Xiao Yu continued to be "bored" in the Qingya courtyard for three or five days.

The weather was cold day by day, and he didn't go out of the room much, only occasionally drawing a picture, playing chess with himself, and then taking out the "Dynasty Times" to have fun.

On this day, the two were playing in the courtyard, but Xiao Yu walked out of the house wearing a prosthetic leg and holding a cane.

"What are you two doing?" He glanced at the two of them.

"Bet...... Bet on both hands. The two of them hurriedly hid the dice cup behind them.

"You don't learn well at a young age." Xiao Yu sat down with a smile, "Take it out, I'll play too." ”

When the two little cubs heard this, they were so happy that they threw the dice with Xiao Yu happily. It's a pity that neither of them won from beginning to end.

"It's boring, don't play." Xiao Yu's eyes were full of loneliness, he stood up slowly, and led the lonely Qingying back to the house.

Not big, not small: "It's not small, you see, although Childe is playing with us, but in fact, he is not interested at all." ”

He intervened and said, "Do you know why Childe has been unhappy these days?" ”

"Why?"

"Stupid, he's thinking about Tang Ai! I see, Childe has long wanted to find Tang Ai in his heart. The more he can't go, the more he will think in his heart, and the more he will think in his heart, the more unhappy he will become. ”

"What then? Sister Lanya won't let her son go anywhere! ”

"Do you want Childe to be happy, or do you want Childe to be unhappy?"

"Of course, I hope Childe is happy!"

"I'll tell you, let's ...... like this," he bit his ears.

It didn't take long for the two little guys to run to Xiao Yu again, and without saying a word, they pulled Xiao Yu towards the outside of the courtyard.

"Childe, look!" They pointed to the carriage parked halfway up the mountain, and they were so excited that they didn't want to.
