Chapter 345: Poisoning
The shopkeeper didn't want to cause trouble, so he listened to the news.
When it was almost evening, Xiao Wanyao got up and checked Xue Cheng's body again, his breathing was even, his face gradually became ruddy, and it seemed that he was probably fine. Xiao Wanyao let out a long sigh of relief, and as soon as she turned around, she saw the little head exposed at the door.
Xiao Wanyao's eyes sank, her hands were crossed on her hips, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Rui, let me in!" β
Xiao Rui's head that stretched in hadn't noticed Xiao Wanyao's figure yet, and suddenly heard such a sound, and his body shuddered, if you want to say who Xiao Rui is afraid of in this world, it is Xiao Wanyao.
He didn't dare to run away, pouted, and squeezed in through the crack in the door with an innocent face, but he stood at the door and didn't dare to lean towards Xiao Wanyao.
"Come here!" Xiao Wanyao ordered, standing still and not moving.
Xiao Rui not only didn't go over, but also looked at the door and hid, Xiao Wanyao gritted her teeth angrily, "How many times have I told you, that silver needle can only be used unless you meet a bad person, you just don't remember it, do you?" β
Xiao Rui stared at her stubbornly and didn't speak.
"If you dare to get out of here today, see how I catch you and clean you up." Xiao Wanyao stared at him, "Come here." β
Xiao Rui rubbed for a long time before he slowly approached her, and as soon as he got close to her, he tilted his head and looked pitiful, "Mother, I know it's wrong!" But if I hadn't done that, I would have really been taken away by the bad guys, who said they wanted to take me to something good, but they wanted to leave me alone. β
Looking at Xiao Rui's aggrieved little appearance, as well as the pair of watery stares at her, with a small mouth, this is his trick, no matter how reluctant he is, every time he makes it in front of Xiao Wanyao, it works.
Sure enough, Xiao Wanyao's face suddenly softened, and she slowly squatted down and looked at him at eye level, "You, why can't you let me worry?" Tell me sΓΉ Niang, what the hell is going on? How did you end up with this kid? Also, what about Uncle Destiny? How did you get out? How did it end up here? Is there no one with you? β
Xiao Rui blinked his innocent eyes, "Mother, what was the first question you just asked?" I didn't remember a lot of questions later. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Sue me first, did you come by yourself, or did someone bring you here?" Xiao Wanyao lowered her eyes, sat down on the edge of the bed and asked.
"I came on my own!"
Xiao Wanyao's gaze sank a little more, and her expression was obviously not good, even if Xiao Rui was very smart and knew a lot of things at such a young age, but in his mother's eyes, he was a child after all, and he would definitely worry when he went out.
But at this moment, Xiao Rui was no longer afraid, rubbed into Xiao Wanyao's arms, and smirked, "Mother, I miss you, I don't want to be separated from you again." I don't want to go back to Jiangnan, where my mother goes, Ruier will go. β
One sentence made Xiao Wanyao's whole heart soften, and she sighed helplessly, "You, when will you be able to save my worries." The hand lifted up but landed gently on Riel's back, stroking his back and pressing his face to his head, a doting smile on his face.
It's always like that when you are a mother.
However, this scene was seen by Xue Cheng, who had already awakened his consciousness, Xue Cheng's eyes narrowed, it turned out that this guy named Ruier was this woman's child. He now has a mother who hurts and is spoiled by his mother, but she killed her mother.
The little hands in the quilt were clenched tightly, and when Xiao Wanyao looked back at him, he suddenly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be dizzy.
Xiao Wanyao reached out and touched Mo Mo's head, and said suspiciously, "It's been so long, why haven't you woken up?" β
"Mother, will he be okay? Is he really the crown prince? Xiao Rui said, "His temper is good and bad, Ruier doesn't like him." β
"I know you poisoned him this time to get out of it, and you can't do it next time, you know? You're both just kids. Xiao Wanyao sighed and said, looking outside, the sky had sunk, and it was almost time for dinner at this time.
Xue Tianao will definitely look for himself, maybe he has already looked for himself. But looking at the two children in front of her, she was a little embarrassed, she didn't want Xue Tianao to see Rui'er, but now she can't drive him away.
At this moment, a figure was reflected at the door, and then the little attendant in the store walked in, "Let us ask the shopkeeper, is there anything else you need?" β
"No, we'll leave when he's awake." Xiao Wanyao said.
"The shopkeeper asked you to come over, and I have a few words to say to you in person, in the courtyard downstairs." The little squire said.
Xiao Wanyao paused, presumably wanting to talk about this child, and then got up, "Rui'er, you watch him here, and my mother will come back after a while." When he woke up, he immediately sued me. β
Rui'er nodded obediently and watched Xiao Wanyao leave. Then he came to the side of the bed, looked at Xue Cheng, who was still lying on the bed and fell asleep, and pouted, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, if you didn't want to leave me alone and escape, I wouldn't have done this to you." I don't blame you for not paying for food, and I don't blame you for not thinking of a good way, as long as you can stay and bear it with me, I definitely won't do it. β
Xiao Rui sat on the edge of the bed, drooping his legs, and muttered in a low voice, but he heard a cold snort. He was slightly stunned and turned back with a smile, "Your Highness, have you woken up?" β
As soon as Xue Cheng woke up, he looked domineering, "It turns out that you are that woman's child, and you lied to me that you just wanted to steal something to eat." Hum...... Swindler. β
"I didn't mean to lie to you. My mother said that people must be careful when they are outside, and they can't trust people lightly. Xiao Rui said lightly, feeling a little aggrieved.
"You dare to poison His Royal Highness, when I go back, I will definitely sue my father and let my father cut off your head." Xue Cheng saw that Xiao Rui was soft, so he became even more angry.
Xiao Rui gave him a roll of the eyes, and his little temper came up, "Hmph, I'm not afraid of you, you dare to say that you can't get out at all, I still have a silver needle, you die here, no one knows." Your father doesn't know either. β
Xue Cheng was frightened by Xiao Rui's threat, his face turned pale suddenly, now he was still in the hands of others, and he didn't consider the reality at all when he spoke, he snorted coldly and didn't quarrel with Xiao Rui anymore, and turned his head to the side not to look at him.
Xiao Rui also snorted and turned around and walked outside, and after going out, he happened to see Xiao Wanyao and the shopkeeper walking upstairs after speaking. He stopped Xiao Wanyao at the top of the stairs, "Mother, let's go, leave him alone." β
Xiao Wanyao paused and took Rui'er's little hand, "What's wrong?" β
"When he woke up, he also said that he would sue his father and me for poisoning him, and let his father cut off my head, so we should leave him alone, so as not to affect my mother." Xiao Rui said angrily, if he hadn't had bad intentions at the beginning, would he have treated him like this?
Xiao Wanyao sighed, it was true that Xue Cheng's temperament was the same as Gong Qing's, and he was always so unforgiving, "Don't worry, his father doesn't dare to cut off your head, but we can't leave him here." Saying that, Xiao Wanyao pulled Xiao Rui back to the room, and when she saw Xue Cheng wake up, she instructed the people outside to prepare a sedan chair to take Xue Cheng back.
At first, Xue Cheng was not happy, "I want to take you to see your father, if you have any grievances, tell your father when the time comes." β
Saying this, Xue Cheng no longer refused, and followed Xiao Wanyao out of the inn. The shopkeeper learned from Xiao Wanyao's mouth that the child's identity was not low, but it was inconvenient to disclose it, he was worried that he would get into trouble, and Xiao Wanyao assured him that the matter would not be publicized. He was relieved, and then ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair to send them back.
Xue Tianao had already sent someone to find Xiao Wanyao a few times, but she still didn't see her figure, and when she was wondering, Fei Mo came in from outside, "Childe, Miss Yanran is back, and she is still ......"
Saying that, Xiao Wanyao had already come in from outside, with a little boy by her side, a chubby little face, and big eyes revealing a sense of spirituality, as if everyone was smiling lightly, unusually cute. And a guard who followed them was holding Xue Cheng.
When he saw Xue Cheng, Xue Tianao was stunned and hurriedly walked over, "Cheng'er, why are you here?" β
"Father, they bullied me!" Finally found someone who could support him, Xue Cheng didn't care about the pain in his body and moved towards Xue Tianao, Xue Tianao hesitated, and finally stepped forward to hug Xue Cheng.
Xiao Wanyao stood on the side and didn't speak, looking at the worried look on Xue Tianao's face, knowing that he was worried about Xue Cheng, but inexplicably felt a little sour in his heart, and then looked down at Xiao Rui.
It's just that he stared at those two people with a nonchalant face, and when Xiao Wanyao looked at it, he also looked up and asked, "Mother, is that person the emperor of Wei?" He really is a prince! β
I didn't hear the words clearly, but the crisp mother called Lili Suosuo. Xue Tianao was stunned suddenly, and even Fei Mo was stunned, "Miss Yanran, ...... you?"
Feimo didn't know that she was Xiao Wanyao, but Xue Tianao knew that his gaze fell on the child beside Xiao Wanyao. Xiao Rui seemed to sense that the atmosphere around him was not right, and looked around. Their eyes were all fixed on themselves, especially the man who was holding Xue Cheng, who was a little scared in that look.
Xiao Rui couldn't help but rub towards Xiao Wanyao's side, blinking and staring at Xue Tianao.
"You...... What did you just call her? β
Xiao Rui was a little strange, but he still said, "Call her mother, she is my mother." Are you the emperor? β
"Rui'er, he is the emperor of Wei. However, we can't say it here, because we are not in the palace, and we can't sue anyone about Xue Cheng being the prince. Xiao Wanyao opened her mouth and said, her expression a little clear.
Xiao Rui nodded obediently, "Mother, I know." I won't talk about it later. β
Xue Cheng was still coquettish in Xue Tianao's arms, "Father, they bullied me, almost killed me, and poisoned me, you quickly let people arrest them." β
Xue Tianao frowned, "Cheng'er, don't mess around, my father doesn't know what happened yet, I'll talk about it after I figure it out." β
Xiao Wanyao opened his mouth and said, "Let him go and rest first, he was indeed poisoned, and I will explain this to you later." β
Xue Tianao's eyes couldn't leave Xiao Rui, and finally nodded, and sent Xue to Feimo to arrange for him to rest temporarily.
"Father......" Xue Cheng still has to be coquettish.
But Xue Tianao's gaze had already cooled, "Cheng'er, be obedient and go to rest quickly." After that, my father will naturally come to you and listen to what you say. β
Xue Cheng didn't dare to say anything more, and when he was taken away by Feimo, he glared at Xiao Rui fiercely, and his eyes warned him, you wait for me, I won't let you go. Then he left.
Chapter 346: Together
After Feimo left with Xue Cheng, Xue Tianao looked back at Xiao Rui, it was his unmasked son, and it was also the son of him and Xiao Wanyao, so he was naturally happy.
However, Xiao Rui stared at him with an indifferent expression, and his body couldn't help but hide behind Xiao Wanyao, "Mother, will he cut off my head?" β
As soon as Rui'er's words came out, Xiao Wanyao and Xue Tianao were stunned at the same time, "Why do you want to cut off your head?" Xiao Wanyao asked puzzled. After that, I suddenly thought of what Xiao Rui said, probably from Xue Cheng.
Then he looked at Xue Tianao, "Probably what Xue Cheng threatened him said, so he took it seriously." You don't really want to punish him, it's not me who protects him, in fact, you can't completely blame Ruier for this matter. β
Xue Tianao paused slightly, only then did he think that he still didn't know the ins and outs, he glanced at Xiao Rui, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't cut off your head, Cheng'er is fine now." But you have to sue me why you are here, why did you poison Cheng'er. β
To be honest, Xue Tianao still cared more about this matter, although he wanted to go over and hug this child, but in the end he held back, because of the strangeness in his eyes, he must not know whose child it was until now. So you can't rush this matter, you have to take your time.
He turned around and returned to his seat, while Xiao Wanyao pulled Rui'er to sit down on one side, "What happened?" Xue Tianao asked gently, without the slightest intention of reproaching him, and Xiao Rui saw that he was so humble, and the fear in his heart was a little less.
Xiao Wanyao was worried that Rui'er would not tell her completely, so she opened her mouth to tell Xue Tianao what she knew. Of course, there are some things that have been ignored in the words, and there are some things that Xiao Wanyao reminded Rui'er that she must not mention.
That is the matter of Destiny and Shangguan Yunfan, and now she is Yanran and not Xiao Wanyao's business.
Rui'er was very obedient and listened quietly, but her big eyes kept staring at Xue Tianao who was sitting there, and she didn't know how hard to look at.
Xue Tianao knew the reason for the matter, and sighed slightly, after all, Xue Cheng was his own child, and he felt distressed and worried, "His temperament is becoming more and more like his mother." β
Looking at Xue Tianao's worried look, Xiao Wanyao said, "Xue Cheng is still young and still needs to be trained, and he will probably be able to change if he is educated in the future." She didn't say much else, she had to talk to Xue Tianao about the things in front of her alone.
"Now that the two children have come out, take them with you to the border. It just happened to let them all see and understand. Xue Tianao said with a smile.
Xiao Wanyao was stunned, she didn't think so, because there was still a war on the border, and it would be very dangerous at that time. She went out this time not only to be with Xue Tianao, but also because there was another important matter.
"I'm afraid this ......" Xiao Wanyao just wanted to refuse, but Rui'er beside her pulled her arm, "Mother, let me go with you." I don't want to be separated from my mother anymore, okay? Ruier will be obedient and obedient, and will never do anything to make her mother angry again. β
Looking at Rui'er's cute appearance and the nirvana he used, coupled with Xue Tianao's support for him and promised to take him with him, Xiao Wanyao was helpless, so she sighed and agreed.
"I'll go over and see Xue Cheng, the toxins in his body must be completely clear." Xiao Wanyao pulled Rui'er to get up, Xue Tianao wanted to leave Rui'er to chat with him, but Nai Rui'er didn't want to pay attention to him at all, so she took Xiao Wanyao's hand and walked towards the door, "I will also go to see His Highness, and I will apologize to him." β
Xue Tianao got up and said, "Rui'er, you don't need to call him His Highness, in fact, he is ......."
"Tianao!" Xiao Wanyao hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him, Xue Tianao suddenly frowned, he didn't blame Xiao Wanyao, probably because he was too anxious, "Okay, you guys go and take a look first, Yanran will come over alone in a while, I have something to say." β
Xiao Wanyao nodded knowingly, and then left with Xiao Rui, and when he happened to meet Feimo coming in from the outside, Xiao Wanyao nodded to him and said hello, and then left with Rui'er from him.
Feimo walked towards the house, while looking back at the figure of Xiao Rui who was leaving, he couldn't help frowning, Xue Tianao saw him hesitating at the door and said, "How is Cheng'er's side?" β
Fei Mo came back to his senses and hurriedly came to Xue Tianao's side, "Back to Gongzi, young master, he is still making trouble, it seems that he has a deep holiday with Yanran's son, and he is arguing to let his subordinates teach him a lesson." β
Xue Tianao's brows furrowed, "This kid, why is he so vindictive?" β
"This can't be blamed on Childe, after all, that Rui'er almost killed him, and made him suffer so much, it's understandable to want to teach Rui'er a lesson." Fei Mo said.
Xue Tianao sighed deeply, "I already know the reason for the matter, and I can't be Rui'er." β
Hearing that Xue Tianao was defending Xiao Rui, he had a doubt in his heart, what he never expected was that Yanran already had a child, so who was the father of the child? Xue Tianao cared so much about Yanran, after knowing that she had a child, he didn't get angry at all, and was still looking at him.
"The subordinates just saw Miss Yanran leave with Rui'er, and Rui'er's little appearance is a little similar to that of the son, especially the tone when she speaks." Fei Mo said.
Xue Tianao pursed his lips and smiled, he had also been paying attention to Xiao Rui just now, so he naturally noticed this, "He is indeed the same as when I was young." β
Feimo was beaten again, could it be that the emperor wanted to treat Rui'er as his own child? As an emperor, can he have such a big mind?
Fei Mo didn't believe that Xue Tianao would do this, and based on the past, he said, "The emperor tested Miss Yanran last time, but the temptation is clear?" β
Xue Tianao glanced back at him, knowing what he was thinking, and said calmly, "The temptation is clear." β
"That'...... Is she a Yanran girl or a ......"
Xue Tianao didn't speak, and got up, "Some things don't need to be investigated too clearly. It's rare to be confused, go and see if dinner is ready, I'll go see Cheng'er. With that, Xue Tianao had already left the room.
Fei Mo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Yan Ran was not the original Yan Ran, but Xiao Wanyao was still the original Xiao Wanyao. No wonder Xue Tianao would spoil her so much, it all makes sense this time, even Xiao Rui said it in the past.
After thinking clearly, Feimo lined his head, "Then, isn't Cheng'er Rui'er's eldest brother?" The two of them are brothers, and they ...... when they met for the first time" Thinking of the grievances between Xiao Wanyao and Gong Qing, they couldn't help frowning again.
I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse!
When Xue Tianao came to Cheng'er, only the girl who was waiting by her side was there, and Xiao Wanyao and Rui'er had already left. According to the girl who was waiting, after Rui'er came here, Cheng'er kept rejecting him and quarreling with him, and the two almost fought.
That's why Xiao Wanyao took Rui'er away, and Cheng'er was resting on the bed at this time.
Xue Tianao went over to talk to Cheng'er for a few words, and when he left, he said, "You are not in good health, just lie in the room and let people bring food over." β
Cheng'er didn't listen and hurriedly sat up, pulling Xue Tianao's sleeve, "Father, I don't want to eat here by myself, I want to eat with you." I know you're going to find that Riel after you're gone, and I'm your son. β
Although Cheng'er is very scheming and has a bad character, but after all, he is still a child, Xue Tianao touched his head, and he would never consider Cheng'er when he ascended the throne in the future, so what he could give was to give him some spoiling as much as possible, and when he could be independent in the future, he would send him out.
"If you think you're okay, have someone bring you over at dinner." Xue Tianao said, "Also, you can't call my father the emperor here, and you can't tell others that you are the prince." We're just businessmen passing through, so it's best not to be too ostentatious. β
Cheng'er nodded obediently and desperately, if you want to say who Xue Cheng listens to the most in this world, it is Xue Tianao's. In his eyes, Xue Tianao is the most powerful and noble person in the world, and he is very proud of being his prince. He also thought about surpassing him in the future and becoming a better king than him.
Cheng'er lay down again, and Xue Tianao turned around and left. He lay on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and in the future, he would be more obedient and obedient in front of his father, so that his father would like him, and he would become his father's proud son.
Here, Xiao Wanyao pulled Rui'er to a pavilion and sat down, she hadn't seen her son for a long time, "Rui'er, my mother promised to take you, but you must listen to your mother." You know? There are still a lot of things that can't be said to others......"
Rui'er nodded, "People's hearts are sinister, I know Mother, you have said this to me many times, Rui'er remembers it, I really remember it." β
Looking at Rui'er's smart and clever appearance, Xiao Wanyao shook her head, and felt a little relieved in her heart, touching Rui'er's head, he was growing up slowly, looking more and more like him, and even his temperament was very similar. I wonder what kind of emperor he will become in the future?
"Mother......" Rui'er said suddenly, "Why are we staying here?" And why are you with the emperor of Wei? β
"This matter is a long story, and my mother naturally has a reason for being here. It's just that you don't have to ask. Xiao Wanyao replied simply. This matter is right, and it is not good for Rui'er, not to mention that there are some things he doesn't know yet, so don't talk casually in front of him, lest his little head be cranky again.
"I see that the emperor of Wei likes his mother very much, are you together? What about the father? Mother, when are we going back to Chu? I miss my father a little bit, and I am also the prince in the Chu State. Xiao Rui pulled Xiao Wanyao's arm and kept shaking.
He came out to find Xiao Wanyao this time, in fact, another purpose was to let Xiao Wanyao take him back to Chu State. Go to his father and be his son.
Listening to Xiao Rui's words, Xiao Wanyao's face turned a little pale, she had never thought about this problem, and she had never even thought of explaining it to Rui'er, she only felt that he was still too young and explained too much, maybe he couldn't understand it. However, she ignored that in Rui'er's heart, Guo Ping was his real father, and Chu was his home.
Before Xiao Wanyao could speak, she saw a figure in the corridor approaching, she looked back, it was Xue Tianao's gloomy face, she stood up suddenly, I don't know if he heard what he said just now, "Rui'er, you go elsewhere to play for a while, and your mother will hand you over when you eat, remember not to go too far, your mother has something to say." βR1154
