It is actually quite difficult for Xia Shuanghan to figure out from the food and drinking water, if he was indeed drugged, then when and where he may have been drugged. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past three or five days, Xia Shuanghan has accompanied his younger brother and the Chen brothers to visit the market and eat a lot of roadside stalls; also accompanied Ba Liya and Zhang Yunyan to the suburbs to go to the countryside, and had dinner in the curtain; He also went to watch polo and horse racing with Xie Zhuoting, and exchanged food with each other.

Therefore, in such a situation where drinking and eating water and food that are very easy to be manipulated by people with good intentions, even if Xia Shuanghan "casts a wide net" to put Zhou Yaoguang, who has been out of the house and has the possibility of obtaining medicinal powder and drugged her diet, into the category of suspicion, she can't be sure that her happy pulse is really Zhou Yaoguang's masterpiece.

"That's why I told you not to go to the street stalls, not to go to the street stalls, but when have you ever heard of me? It's not all about going your own way, and you have to stuff those unclean and unquality things into your mouth. Look at it, it's okay now, you're going to have a problem eating yourself! ”

In the inner room of Tingtao Courtyard, where the lights were flickering, in the face of Su Yixing's arrogance and contempt for civilian food, Xia Shuang snorted coldly and then pursed his lips and shot back: "Thinking about the day I was hit by the girl who threw the hydrangea to recruit relatives last year, I don't know who can't get rid of it, so I have to follow me and Chaoyang and follow us to eat roadside stalls." ”

"Besides, I've been drugged this time, what's the matter with closing the roadside stall? If you don't eat a roadside stall, you won't be fine? So how did those little princes who have been kept in the palace since they were born and have never touched folk food at all, were poisoned and died young? You don't blame those people who are not scheming and deliberately drug me, but you have to blame those innocent roadside stalls, Su Yixing, you're not mistaken, right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault." From Xia Shuanghan's "Su Yixing" instead of "Su Zhechen", Su Yixing, who heard that she had not lost her anger until now, decided to bow her head first and give in when she needed to be consistent with the outside world.

"If, after a few days of taking the antidote, your pulse really returns to normal, then the people who want to come here for the medicine will definitely be in the same group as those who knocked you out on the ninth day of the second month. It's just that what their purpose is still incomprehensible. ”

"Maybe it's for you to give up on me, so that you can give up the position of the princess to someone else; Maybe it's to make you hate Tingxuan, fight with him endlessly, and then provoke the Holy One, so as to achieve the goal of letting the Holy One rob you of your position, and then stop getting in the way of others...... These unfounded speculations, I can make up as many as you want. It's just that these pure speculations are useless, are they? ”

Having said this, Xia Shuanghan, who suddenly remembered the news he got from Lu Shaoyun on the ninth day of the second lunar month, stood up and ran to the dresser, picked up a letterhead that she had put in the dresser, and looked down.

The letterhead was written down by Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun during their discussion in the post station on the night of the ninth day of the second lunar month. Because of Xia Shuanghan's trait of forgetting what happened yesterday when she sleeps every night, in order not to forget the important events told to her by Lu Shaoyun, Xia Shuanghan will always deliberately write these things down on paper, and then read them several times the next day, so as to achieve the purpose of remembering them.

And now on this letterhead, it reads, "On the ninth night of the first month of February, Ting Xuan informed me that Zhen Chen had retaliated and counterattacked the Queen Mother for the fact that I was plotted at the Shengshang's birthday banquet last year. ”

Walking back to the round table with the letterhead, Xia Shuanghan, who was sitting precariously, looked directly at the other party and said seriously: "Su Zhechen, there is a sentence I have always wanted to say to you some time ago, but because I think it is too informal to say this to you in the way of flying pigeons, I have left it until today." ”

"I know what you're going to say." Looking down at the handwriting on the letterhead that was turned upside down at him, Su Yixing, who instantly guessed what Xia Shuanghan was going to say to him, said, "The reason why I did that in the first place was not entirely for you. After all, the Queen Mother even counted me in. So, you don't need to express your gratitude to me. What I want, and it's not your gratitude. ”

"It's your business to accept it or not, it's my business to say it or not, anyway, I can't let this matter stay in my heart and make me feel that I owe you something." smiled at Su Yixing with a pleasant smile and thanked him, but Xia Shuanghan didn't know that this conversation now would be the last friendly conversation she and Su Yixing had before they left.

The day after Su Yixing returned home from Liaodong, two groups of guests were welcomed in the Xiangyang Palace. Needless to say, the first batch was naturally Wen Jiling, who came to visit again with the medicinal powder that Xia Shuanghan asked for yesterday. And the second group is the visitors to the Dingguo Mansion who are both unexpected and reasonable in the summer frost and cold.

During the day, watching the bell and Zhichun drink the tea mixed with colorless and tasteless medicinal powder, and then only waited for three or five days to invite Dr. Qin to check the pulse of Xia Shuanghan, and in the afternoon, ushered in Lu Shaoyun's fifth aunt and his eldest sister-in-law, and Lu Ruhui.

Needless to say, the reason why the daughters of the Lu family came to visit this day was naturally for Su Yixing to "rescue" Mrs. Lu Wu and Lu Ruhui from the mob in the Qibaoshan area, and she came to thank her. So, in the main hall of the main courtyard of the Xiangyang Palace, Xia Shuanghan, who was Su Yixing's wife, was forced to entertain these three guests with the Xie family.

Due to the reasons of her previous life, for the female dependents of the Dingguo Mansion, except for Lu Ruhui, who had no grudges against her in her previous life or in this life, everyone else was an existence with whom she did not want to have any intersection with Xia Shuanghan. Therefore, it didn't take long for Xia Shuanghan, who was impatient to stay here to accompany Xie's family for socializing, so he used the excuse of gastrointestinal discomfort and needed to go back to Tingtao Yuan to drink medicine, and stood up and left the main courtyard after saluting.

In the spacious and bright main hall of the main courtyard, facing Lu Ruhui, a child who watched her grow up little by little, Xie Shi was very touched.

Back then, because of the relationship between his handkerchief and Xu's family, in his daily interactions, Xie often teased Yuxue's lovely Lu Ruhui as an aunt. Even, if it weren't for Su Yixing's strong opposition two years ago, Lu Ruhui, a girl who suits her heart, would have become Xie's daughter-in-law.

Therefore, now, seeing that his beloved younger generation lost his marriage very innocently because of his mother's bad reputation, and then on the journey to other places, he was frightened because of the relationship between being forcibly taken up the mountain, and the pity and pity for Lu Ruhui that surged in Xie's heart immediately surged like a surging river, and it was out of control.

Lu Ruhui and her aunt were taken up the mountain by the mob, because considering that it would damage her reputation once it spread, so Su Yixing did his best to block the news as much as possible when he went up the mountain to pick up people. Therefore, although Lu Ruhui is still affected by her mother's bad reputation, she is not so slandered as "tainted by the mob and her chastity".

It's just that even if her reputation was not further affected, because of this accident, Lu Ruhui still stopped thinking about planning a suitable marriage for herself in a short period of time.

"Speaking of which, Hui'er and I really haven't seen each other for a long time, I, as an aunt, want her to stay and have a meal with me tonight, I believe that such a small request, Mrs. Lu, you won't object, right?" In the main hall where the tea fragrance was rising, after greeting and talking to the two hostesses of the Dingguo Mansion who were now in charge, Xie Shi, who had nothing to say to the two of them, shifted all his attention to Lu Ruhui.

In the face of the Xie family, who proposed to leave Lu Ruhui for dinner, Mrs. Lu Wu and her nephew, who were actually not qualified to object, naturally could not give any other reply except nodding their heads.

So in this way, the follow-up of the Lu family's daughter's visit was naturally transferred to the Tingtao courtyard where Xia Shuanghan lived.

After Yu Fangcai quit the main courtyard under the pretext of drinking medicine, Xia Shuanghan, who was always used to passing the time by painting in his spare time, walked to his study. And when she returned to Tingtao Courtyard after painting, she thought that all the ladies of the Lu family had already left, but unexpectedly saw Lu Ruhui staring at Tingtao Courtyard not far from the main entrance of her courtyard.

After her sister-in-law and aunt said goodbye and left, Lu Ruhui, who was left behind by Xie and was expected to take a carriage home after dinner, listened to Xie's advice that "it's not good to sit in the house all the time, it's blue and sunny today, you should go to the garden and walk around", walked out of the main courtyard with the attendant of the personal maid, and walked in the backyard of the Xiangyang Palace, which she was very familiar with.

It wasn't until she passed by Tingtao Courtyard on the way to the back garden that she suddenly remembered Lu Ruhui of Su Yixing, who was hidden deep in her heart, that she unconsciously stopped, and looked at the white walls of Tingtao Courtyard and fell into deep thought.

"Hey, sure enough, whether in the past life or in this life, some people have some things that cannot be changed no matter how many times they are repeated. It's like Ting Xuan and I say that we must be together, even if Lu Ruhui knows that Su Yixing doesn't have any love for her, she still has to put all her infatuation on him. ”

Quietly sighed in her heart, and glanced at Lu Ruhui who was silently stopping from a distance, and it was easy to see from the expression on her face that the endless lovesickness and the unsatisfactory summer frost and cold buried in her heart slowly stepped forward and greeted her: "If you want, then come in and sit!" ”

With a heart of admiration for Su Yixing, at the invitation of Su Yixing's nominal wife, he stepped into the living residence where he and his wife lived day and night, what a contradictory and complicated feeling, Xia Shuanghan couldn't empathize. But judging from Lu Ruhui's unnatural words and deeds, as well as her careful efforts to hide the feelings in her heart, Xia Shuanghan can still roughly infer this emotion.

Xia Shuanghan, who originally invited Lu Ruhui into the door just to give her a chance to see things and think about people and talk about lovesickness, did not bother to try to start any topics, so as to resolve the silence and embarrassment between the two of them who were completely strangers.

Therefore, Xia Shuanghan, who was busy with her own affairs as usual, finally sat down and had a good conversation with the guest in front of her until Lu Ruhui noticed the sewing basket she put on the short couch by the window and took advantage of it to start a topic about needlework.

"Princess, there is a Rong weaving that has always been very interesting to me, I think it has a beautiful style and exquisite workmanship, so I have always wanted to learn, but I have not had the opportunity to do so. Since you are here today, I wonder if you can solve my doubts? ”

"Oh? What kind of knit? You can describe it roughly, and I'm thinking about whether I'll do it. ”

"It's a bracelet-shaped braid, and the effect is probably the same as that of our Han people's peace and wishful knots, which is a kind of thing that has the effect of praying for blessings. When I was at home, I saw my fifth brother many times holding that bracelet and a red peace wishful knot in a daze-"

Speaking of this, Lu Ruhui, who suddenly stopped talking, and for a moment only felt that the topic she was looking for was a very failure, hurriedly said: "No, this, I didn't mean to mention my fifth brother, it's just ......"

Xia Shuanghan, who knew Lu Ruhui's cautious style of acting on weekdays, knew very well that if it weren't for her behavior of inviting her in and putting her aside, she lost her calm, and caused her to constantly wonder in her heart whether her feelings for Su Yixing had been exposed, so she couldn't wait to open a topic to divert psychological pressure, Lu Ruhui would not mention her fifth brother Lu Shaoyun in front of her, who had become the princess.

"What are you doing in such a panic? We Rong people don't like to hide needles and go around, so I won't doubt your motives for mentioning your fifth brother in front of me. You can just sit down and continue with the topic of knitting. ”

From Lu Ruhui's description, Xia Shuanghan, who had already guessed what she was talking about, stood up and walked to the cabinet, opened the cabinet door and reached in to rummage for a while.

Then, taking the bracelet that she had taken off from her wrist since the day she and Su Yixing got married, Xia Shuanghan, who had never worn it again, turned around and walked back to the round table, stretched out his hand to Lu Ruhui and said, "This should be what you said, right?" ”

"Yes, that's right. That's it. Looking down at the bracelet lying in Xia Shuanghan's palm, Lu Ruhui, who noticed that this object seemed to be exactly the same as the one he saw at his brother, soon realized again that he had really chosen the topic of knitting so badly that it couldn't be worse. This bracelet should not be actually a token of love between men and women of the Rong tribe? (To be continued.) )
