Chapter 20: Temptation

Shopkeeper He and Xiaolan returned to Baicaotang together, and they reported the details of this matter to Xia Zimo. www.biquge.info For example, how was the prince's injuries caused and how serious were they? For example, the relationship between the crown prince and King Xian is a bit strange.

Xia Zimo listened to it with relish, and she sighed: The royal family is really very interesting! It's so funny that the prince's injury looks like he caused himself! What's the secret? What a curiosity and anticipation she was looking forward to! And the prince and the king are like a couple, they are both men, and they are brothers! Is there any blood!

Once Xia Zimo came, no one could stop her interest, she said to Shopkeeper He: "We have already intervened in this matter, so give me a careful investigation, I want to find out what is going on with all this!" My medicine is expensive! If you take my medicine, you will pay the price of my satisfaction! ”

"Yes, young master!"

Baicaotang is a transcendent existence in the rivers and lakes, and it has always maintained a neutral attitude, trying not to get involved in anyone's disputes. They have always liked trouble, but they are not afraid of trouble! Once someone troubles them, the most common thing that happens is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer from future problems!

Xia Zimo went to the Jin Palace, although she didn't believe that Duanmu Li would poison the prince, but the seeds of suspicion had been planted. Xiaolan's analysis is good, Duanmu Li is the most suspicious in this matter.

When Xia Zimo found Duanmu Li in the study, he was playing chess with Xu Tianfeng. Her arrival interrupted their chess game.

"Xiaomo, I've come back pretty early these days! How's your green house? Duanmu Li asked with a smile.

"Zhong Lixue also went today, and the most difficult thing was solved, so there will be nothing to do in the future." Xia Zimo thought for a while and then said, "Do you know the one who built the house?"

When Duanmu Li heard this, his heart beat violently, and a few drops of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and he thought to himself: What kind of problem will Xiaomo give me this time? Alas! Yesterday he worked a lot, and in the end he even used the threat, and Zhong Lixue reluctantly agreed to eat the meal at noon yesterday.

"Does Xiaomo want to build a house?" Xu Tianfeng didn't know anything about this, and he didn't understand why Li was sweating so much, so he asked curiously.

"No, I want to rebuild the Lichun Temple."

"Xiaomo, I'll go to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow and find a few people from there to help you figure it out." Duanmu Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, this is the easiest thing to do. Among the things that Xia Mo asked him for help with, this matter was the easiest.

"Great, even such a troublesome matter has been solved." In Xia Zimo's opinion, this matter was the most difficult thing to do, and her status on the surface of the capital restricted her activities.

"It seems that I will have to look for you in the future." Xia Zimo completely ignored Duanmu Li's instantly darkened face and said happily.

Duanmu Li's heart was constantly wailing, could he take back what he said before! Can you stop looking for him in the future? His heart can't stand the fright!

Xu Tianfeng didn't feel anything wrong with Xia Zimo's words, and at the same time, he also felt that it was incumbent on him to help if he could help, he jumped into the fire pit desperately, and said to Xia Zimo enthusiastically: "Xiaomo, if you need help in the future, you can also find me!"

Xia Zimo smiled even more happily - having a beautiful woman to help her is definitely a great joy in life.

"Are you playing chess?" Xia Zimo put her face on the chessboard, and after looking at it carefully, she couldn't help nodding, attracting the two of them to look sideways.

Xu Qianfeng asked, "Does Xiaomo also play chess?"

"No, not at all." Xia Zimo replied as a matter of course.

"Ahh The two of them were scorched by the thunder on the outside and tender on the inside, and even Duanmu Li's good temper was a little unbearable: "Xiaomo, you don't know what to nod just now!"

Xia Zimo glared at Duanmu Li with innocent eyes and said, "Wouldn't you just nod?" Besides, aren't I studying? ”

Duanmu Li was completely speechless, and Xu Tianfeng complained: "Okay, then have you learned?"

"Nope!" Xia Zimo replied more neatly.

Now no one has a temper, and I don't want to say a word more, I always feel that if I continue, I will definitely get angry and hurt myself in the end. In the face of such an innocent and lovely child, you can't beat or scold, you have to swallow your stomach back when you get angry, so it's no wonder that you don't hurt internally.

The two of them didn't say anything, and Xia Zimo didn't want to say it if she didn't bring it, she obviously didn't want to let them go so easily: "Otherwise, you can teach me to play chess!"

Facing Xia Zimo's face full of hope, the two couldn't bear to refuse, and agreed in unison: "Okay, I'll teach you!"

After a pillar of incense......

"Xiaomo, did you really not know how to play chess before?" Duanmu Li couldn't help but ask, he had been forced by Xia Zimo to retreat.

Xiao Mo is too ghostly, this is only a pillar of incense, and he is already on par with them. Just now he had overcome the windfall.

"Xiaomo, you fooled us before! Actually, you'd already be able to play chess, right? Xu Qingqingfeng did not hesitate to join the ranks of criticizing Xia Zimo.

The two stared at Xia Zimo, not letting go of her slightest movement and expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xia Zimo's heart was a little panicked, she looked at their glowing eyes, it felt worse than falling into a wolf's den - if the wolf was at least she could kill mercilessly, but in the face of them, she didn't want to do anything, she didn't want to lose someone who really cared about him.

Yes, they really care about her, and she sincerely hopes that they can be happy, even if they are doubting each other and testing each other, but these can't affect the heart-to-heart communication between them.

"I've never been exposed to this kind of chess before, how is that possible?" In this life, Xia Zimo has only been exposed to medicine since he was a child, and there have never been other unrelated things in the Medicine King Valley.

It is this environment that has cultivated generations of medicine masters, achieved the lofty status of Yaowang Valley, and made the entire Jianghu have infinite respect and fear for Yaowang Valley, and at the same time, it has always been on the cusp of the storm and has become the target of attacks by the majority of people who want to become famous in one fell swoop.

Its unique position in the rivers and lakes has also attracted the attention of the imperial courts of various countries, and it has also become the object of continuous co-optation, and the door of the Tai Hospital is always open to it, but few people are willing to enter the court as officials. But once someone becomes an official, he will definitely be famous for eternity. The Valley of the Medicine King has always been a legend.

Xia Zimo played with the chess pieces in his hand, regardless of the emotions of the two, and continued to say blood-spurting words: "This thing is too simple, there is no value in challenging it at all!" As she spoke, she threw down the chess pieces in her hand and walked towards her courtyard, leaving the two to look at each other.

Since then, they have never touched a chess piece again, and they used to love to play chess.

Xia Zimo walked happily on the way back to the courtyard, through the temptation just now, she was even more convinced that the matter of the prince's poisoning had nothing to do with Duanmu Li - a person who played chess so cautiously would definitely not be a reckless person, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing as poisoning the prince, because if something happened to the prince, the first person to be suspected would definitely be him.

She kept thinking back to the scene in the game just now: she had given him many opportunities to defeat her in one fell swoop, but he didn't take it lightly, he was always careful and cautious.

The two in the study were discussing.

"Li, Xiaomo left you a lot of opportunities to win him just now, why don't you take advantage of it?" Xu Qingfeng asked with some confusion.

"Didn't you take advantage of it too? You can see that he did it on purpose, why should I step into the trap he laid down. Duanmu Li asked rhetorically.

"If what he just said is true, this is really his first contact with chess, then his talent is really a little scary!" Xu Qingfeng sighed.

"Yes! Whoever has this talent must have an extraordinary status! Duanmu Li also felt the same.

"Haven't you found out who he really is?" Xu Qingfeng was surprised, in his impression, as long as it was the person Duanmu Li wanted to check, the time to use it had never exceeded five days, and now it had been seven days!

"Nope! If I find out, I don't have to worry about it. What worries me most now is that he had something to do with that. Duanmu Li's smiling face had long since been put down, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"You mean that? When you say that, I'm a little skeptical. Xu Tianfeng also put away his joke and said seriously: "After all, the timing of his appearance is too coincidental, and we still can't find out his true identity."

"Li, tell you a strange thing, today the prince and King Xian took leave, and neither went to the early court."

"They ...... You've never taken a leave of absence before? Did something happen? Duanmu Li frowned.

Xu Tianfeng and Duanmu Li then discussed goodbye and returned to the General's Mansion afterwards. Xia Zimo had a good night's sleep! It's actually nice to have a beautiful woman thinking about it.
