Chapter 144: No Colorful Phoenix
"Hey."
I was startled by a tap on the shoulder from behind, and I looked to my left, but he looked around my line of sight and sat on my right. In fact, as early as the time I turned my head, I could have guessed who it was.
"How did you know I was here?" This is what makes me more curious now.
Yuan Jue's smile became more and more mysterious, "What, what are you doing with me all of a sudden?" Have you changed your mind and want to marry me? ”
"You know it's impossible." I can't help his unreliable and unobtrusive temperament, it's angry and funny, but now, "You didn't drink that soup, did you?" ”
"What soup?" Yuan Jue was stopped by my sudden question.
"It'......" I didn't know how to explain to him.
"Oh." He deliberately lengthened his voice, apparently already understanding what the soup I was referring to. "What's wrong? Do you want to drink it too? ”
"You drank?!" I panicked.
"Well, what's wrong?" He looked fine, but he turned his head, and after a few moments I noticed that he was frowning, and then he began to clutch his stomach with a pained expression.
"You...... How are you? "It's broken, there must be something in that decoction, it seems that Yuan Jue is really poisoned.
I saw that he couldn't straighten up, so I stepped forward to help him, "You bear with me, I'...... I went to find someone to help. ”
Yes, find someone to help, but, but I am not familiar with life in this palace, who can I find to help, in case I meet the palace manager, and find that I have slipped in, not only can I not help him. Instead, they will be arrested. What to do? That's right, that's right! I can find Yun Chu. If Yun Chu knew that something had happened to Yuan Jue, she would definitely not sit idly by.
Right. Find Yun Chu!
As soon as I was about to explain, I got up to find Yun Chulai, all the thoughts in my mind flashed quickly, I thought about all the ways in a short time, but Yuan Jue suddenly reached out and grabbed me, and before I could react, I heard him pop and laugh.
I was stunned.
"Do you think I'm poisoned?" Yuan Jue said that his voice was rich and natural. It doesn't seem like he can pretend to endure pain, so now it seems that he pretended to be poisoned just now? He deliberately pretended to be poisoned and unbearable to lie to me?
I got angry, shook off his hand, and turned to leave.
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Yuan Jue immediately admitted his mistake, chased after me and grabbed me, blocking my way. "I'm just so happy to see that you care about me."
I don't turn around. Ignore him.
"Don't be angry." He coaxed me in a long voice, took my arm and shook it, "Okay, don't be angry. I'll keep it with you, and I'll never lie to you again. Okay? ”
"Really?" I will be skeptical.
Yuan Jue nodded vigorously, with an unconcealable smile on the corner of his mouth. "But how do you think I'm poisoned?"
This...... How do I sue him? I just had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with the potion because I saw Mrs. Qimo's strange appearance. Because I know that Mrs. Qimo is not his biological mother? "Nothing."
"Don't worry, who would poison the second prince in the palace? What's more, it was my mother who brought me the decoction. Yuan Jue naturally didn't understand what I was worried about, "My mother personally ordered someone to stew some supplements for me, I didn't have time to take a sip, when I heard your bell, I knew that you came to me, so no, I found an excuse to sneak out in a hurry, you see, this bell is good." ”
I'm just too lazy to bother with him.
"But," Yuan Jue asked a little uncomfortably, "when did you come?" I didn't hear anything, I shouldn't have heard it. ”
"Shouldn't you have listened? What do you mean? I snorted coldly, "Oh, you mean you told Mrs. Qimo that she wasn't pretty." ”
I'm still haunted by what I just overheard while hiding under the window.
"I'm not talking about you not being pretty, I'm just saying that you're not pretty." Yuan Jue looked aggrieved as if he had been wronged, and explained in an accentuated tone word by word.
"Isn't that all the same?" It's not beautiful, it's not beautiful, isn't that the same thing?
"Of course not." Yuan Jue flatly denied it.
"Jue'er?"
We were chatting vigorously, and the more we talked, the more lively it became, and we didn't even notice that anyone was approaching. It wasn't until Mrs. Qimo saw Yuan Jue and tried to call him that we turned around when we heard the sound, and at this time, Mrs. Qimo was standing not far from us by Yun Chu.
She saw Yuan Jue clearly, and then slowly walked over.
Yun Chu raised his head, glanced at me, and lowered his head again.
"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Qimo approached Yuan Jue, took him affectionately and naturally, first asked him, then turned her head and looked at me from top to bottom, she asked Yuan Jue sideways, "Who is this one?" ”
I just saw her strange whereabouts with my own eyes just now, which made me think that she was going to poison Yuan Jue, but now I immediately saw her again, and naturally, I felt a little uncomfortable. What's more, knowing so many secrets about her, I can't pretend like Yun Chu and everything happens.
I felt like I took a step back, instinctively not wanting to get too close to her.
Unexpectedly, it was such an unconscious action, but it "jingled", making the bell on the ankle make a sound.
This sound made everyone present hear it clearly. Mrs. Qimo lost her mind for a moment, as if she had thought of something, but she didn't show it at all, she smiled lightly with the embarrassment of Fang Cai, and didn't seem to care too much.
"This one is a new girl in the Shizi's Mansion, and when our son-in-law stayed overnight in the Shizi's Mansion a few days ago, he forgot something there. The prince sent her back, and I arranged for her to come here to find our son. Yun Chu spoke out at the right time to solve the siege.
Mrs. Qimo seems to believe it or not. "I see," she said, turning her head as if she had half leaned over in a graceful gesture, "I said I had come out for a walk, and I had been walking for a while, so we should not go back." ”
Yun Chu looked at the sky, "It's almost noon." Madame, let's go back. It's time for lunch. ”
Mrs. Qimo nodded her head in response, and was about to turn around. "Jue'er. Go back with your mother. ”
Yuan Jue listened, turned around and looked at me, a little relieved.
When Yun Chu saw it, he said to me, "Miss Niyin might as well come along, and when I send my wife back to the dormitory, I will arrange it and send you back." ”
I saw Yuan Jue turn his head when he heard Yun Chu say this. glanced at Yun Chu, Yun Chu naturally felt it, and in response to his gaze, he bowed slightly, as if he understood the meaning in his eyes.
In this way, Mrs. Qimo walked in front with Yuan Jue, Yun Chu was waiting in the middle, and I walked behind them.
When I arrived at Mrs. Qimo's dormitory, I thought I would just see them in. Then leave and be fine. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qimo walked to the door and suddenly turned around, "How is He'er doing?" ”
How is Wonhyuk doing? Why did she suddenly ask Won Hyuk? I heard that their relationship doesn't seem to be very good.
At the moment when that sentence was asked, I noticed a subtle change in Yun Chu's sanity.
"If Mrs. Hui said, the prince's health has never been very good. Two days ago, I just returned from hunting in the mountains, and I was infected with some wind chill and felt a little unwell. Now he is recuperating in the house. "I replied to her as I learned from the people of Wonhyuk's mansion." I don't know if Madame has any instructions, do you need to bring some words to the son. ”
I am certainly not as smart as they are. Two hundred years of Taoism still can't be compared with these twenty or thirty years of cultivation, but my cultivation is meticulous cultivation. What they learn is intrigue. One fell into their trap without paying attention, I don't have their skills, but fortunately, I have accumulated a lot of things these days, and I have seen a lot, so I am not so stupid.
I knew that she would suddenly ask me if it was not for no reason, because Yun Chu told her when she was relieving me just now that I was sent by the prince's mansion to deliver something to Yuan Jue, and at that time I noticed that Mrs. Qimo was not very convinced. She suddenly asked me this sentence now, just to test me if it was from Won Hyuk.
Unexpectedly, she didn't even trust Yun Chu so much.
Hearing my answer, I couldn't tell whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied, but I could feel that Yun Chu's nervousness just now had relaxed a little, and I thought it was probably because I did it right.
Mrs. Qimo just said indifferently, "It's nothing special, after you go back, tell him to take care of it." ”
"Yes." I could only bow my head.
"Mother, go in." Yuan Jue pulled Mrs. Qimo and walked inside, before explaining to Yun Chu, "Aunt Yun Chu, please send her to the palace gate." ”
"Yes. The slave and maid know. Yun Chu was silent, stopped in place, lowered her head, and when Mrs. Qimo's back completely disappeared into the palace, she slowly straightened up and said to me, "Niyin girl, let's go." ”
Yun Chu didn't wait for me to answer, then turned around and led me towards the palace gate.
"Where did you go in the morning?" I asked, following after her. "Do you know, I actually saw Mrs. Qimo send someone sneakily to bring a decoction to Yuan Jue in the morning. Although I don't know what it is......"
"Madame won't kill Jue'er." Yun Chu stopped and said calmly.
"But their appearance is really strange, sneaky, there should be something wrong with the potion. Moreover, Mrs. Qimo entered Yuan Jue's room alone with a soup bowl, and even broke up all the people. Aren't you worried that she will be bad for Yuan Jue? "I don't understand how Yun Chu can be so calm, what if the decoction is poisonous, what can I do if something happens to Yuan Jue.
Yun Chu's reaction was completely unexpected by me, "You're right, there is indeed a problem with that decoction, it has been more than once, Madame wanted to kill Jue'er, but she gave up, and at the last time, she would stop." ”
Is it just because of this? Because in the end, she would stop and didn't kill Yuan Jue, so Yun Chu was so relieved?
"Anyway, since you said that Yuan Jue is your son, at least you should take care of him. Maybe Mrs. Qimo didn't make up her mind this time, and she might not let him go next time. "I was afraid of being heard, so I kept my voice down.
"Miss Niyin, next time, please don't enter the palace rashly, your actions have already aroused the vigilance of Madame." Yun Chu could be said to be expressionless, and she said these words rather coldly, "Don't forget, you promised me to protect Jue'er's safety. ”
Unexpectedly, she reminded me in turn.
"Miss Niyin, this is already the last palace gate, you better leave here and go back early. Further on is outside the palace, and Yun Chu is inconvenient to send it, so he will send it here. Yun Chu stood still in the palace and said coldly.
She was completely different from her that night, as if she were another person who didn't matter at all.
I turned around, and without even saying goodbye, I walked straight out of the palace gate, and I walked a few steps like this, stopping and looking back, Yun Chu had already turned his back and walked inside without looking back.
The people in this palace are so strange.
Broken! I just remembered that I came to Yuan Jue for the string of bells on my ankles, but I was so busy that I forgot about business, hey, look at my memory.
The bell ringing on my ankle seemed to be deliberately against me.
I didn't expect to be warned by Yun Chu, and if you want to sneak in in the future, it will become very troublesome. When will I be able to ask Yuan Jue to help me take off this jingle bell thing?
As a result, I dragged the sound of jingling bells all the way and walked back to Yuanhe Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, a small servant in the house immediately greeted him, and I identified him, he always ran behind Yuan He. "Niyin girl, you're back, I've been waiting for you all afternoon."
The son of the family is naturally Cheng Jing, Cheng Jing will come at such a time, I really don't know if it's my bad luck or his bad luck.
I followed the little guy to the main hall, Yuan He and he were sitting awkwardly, Yuan He made a gesture to drink tea, although it was not a big star, but it seemed that there was really nothing to talk about between them, I don't know how long I sat like this, if I don't come back, I'm afraid I'm going to be bored to death.
"Cheng ...... Son? "He's coming to me now, and I guess he probably had an idea, otherwise he wouldn't have waited all day in such a boring and oppressive environment.
"I'm here for you." Cheng Jing got up, but didn't continue, he paid a little attention to Yuan He, who was standing next to him as he got up, and signaled that it might not be convenient for me to speak here.
I glanced at Yuan He and said to Cheng Jing, "The prince also knows everything, I think there should be nothing inconvenient for you to say here." ”
Yuan He naturally understood the intention, he stepped aside and sent his subordinates back first.
There were just three of us in the hall at this time.
Cheng Jing held one hand in front of him, lowered his head, and exerted his strength slightly, as if he was making up his mind. After a while, I finally waited for him to speak, "The day after tomorrow, my mother will be funeral." (To be continued.) )
