==Chapter 34==

"People are gone?"

In the quiet room, the silence was broken by the low tone of the King of Chu, which had a slight timbre unique to a teenager.

"Seeing that His Royal Highness was asleep, Jiu Niangzi helped you massage for a while and left." Always answer.

The king of Chu did not speak again.

Chang Shun said: "There are still a lot of medicinal materials left by the nine maids, and the slave maid will take them to Imperial Doctor Liu to see." ”

The slender fingers that King Chu placed on the armrest of the recliner nodded, and Chang stepped back by the way.

After almost a quarter of an hour, Chang Shun returned.

"The slave maid showed those herbs to Imperial Physician Liu, including the ratio and boiling method that Jiu Niangzi said one by one, Imperial Physician Liu originally felt that it was ordinary, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a mystery inside, but he couldn't tell the truth for the time being, so let His Majesty give him a day to study."

Thinking of the appearance of Imperial Physician Liu, who was particularly obsessed with medical skills, completely obsessed with the inconspicuous few medicinal materials and matching recipes, Chang Shun frowned, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Your Majesty, do you want to stop her when this Nine Ladies comes again?" ”

The King of Chu was slightly stunned and said, "No, she has no reason to harm this king." ”

This statement is not unreasonable, and whenever there is a conspiracy or targeting, it is all related to interests. In terms of interests, the last thing I want to let the King of Chu have an accident is probably the people of the Xiao family, as well as Queen Xiao and King Cheng. Xiao Jiuniang is the daughter of the Xiao family, and the two are united in terms of interests. And Xiao Jiuniang is just a girl, she may have a lot of side thoughts, but this kind of thinking will definitely not be unfavorable to the King of Chu, which is why the King of Chu will connive at this little fox and jump up and down beside him.

And Chang Shun will say this for the sake of prudence.

His Royal Highness went to Beijing to Lanling this time, and few people knew about it, and in order not to attract attention, he only brought a few guards with him this time to Beijing, and other protective forces could only rely on the Xiao family. This is to prevent the scheming person from attacking the King of Chu's idea, but at the same time, the protective force around the King of Chu is extremely weak.

Especially Xiao Jiuniang's strange behavior, it really does not match her age and identity, just this massage method and medicinal soup are different, it seems that she is extraordinary, and her body always reveals a strange temperament. Chang Shun knew that Xiao Jiuniang could not harm King Chu's thoughts, but as a personal attendant, he had to beware of this kind of abnormality.

Seeing Chang Shun's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the king of Chu said again: "I believe that this qiē will be explained soon." ”

*

Xiao Jiuniang didn't know about this scene, but since she dared to reveal this flaw, she naturally had a way to deal with it.

As she thought, Chang Shun really showed those herbs to Imperial Doctor Liu. A day later, Dr. Liu also gave a conclusion.

This prescription is unknown, but the effect can still be seen slightly, and it has the effect of pulling out the toxin. Maybe this recipe can just have some effect on the leg of the King of Chu, of course, what the effect is, it is not clear for the time being, it will have to accumulate over time to see, but there is absolutely no harm. Since it is useful, it does not hurt to use it more.

Therefore, after two days, Shun actually took the initiative to find Xiao Jiuniang and asked her to help King Chu relieve the pain of his leg disease.

This is right in the middle of Xiao Jiuniang's heart.

Although she didn't mind sticking her face to King Chu's cold ass, and she didn't mind always pleasing him, it was different to let the other party take the initiative to come. Don't ask what it means, all in all, Jiuniang is secretly refreshed.

Because of this, she went to the king of Chu every once in a while, and she did not hide it without concealment, and made a big fanfare, which attracted the attention of many people on the ship.

After the first few days of suffering, most of those who were unwell from seasickness are now back to normal. Although it can't be compared to the land, at least it won't be dizzy, and you won't stop vomiting when you move.

As soon as Xiao Banniang recovered her strength, she heard that Xiao Jiuniang had married the fifth prince, King Chu. This couldn't help but make her feel quite uncomfortable, and secretly scolded this person for being shameless.

It's not the only one who has this kind of thought, Xiao Shi Niang is naturally happy to see it happen because she is in the same camp as Jiu Niang. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, people from a background like them can survive so far, but it is because they know how to take advantage of the situation. Now that the two of them are isolated, they came to Lanling this time just to avoid disaster, so that they can rely on it, and when they return to Chang'an, they can also have more confidence.

Xiao Shiniang is like an invisible person on weekdays, rarely showing her face in front of people, and her thoughts are unknown. And the person who has the same idea as Xiao Banniang is Xiao Qi Niang, of course, she is not only because of this, but also for other reasons.

This cabin is very different from the others, from the layout to the furnishings, it reveals a quiet and noble temperament. The sandalwood table and the couch, the light blue embroidered lotus pattern of the silk mattress, the light background color, the white lotus, and the brocade tooth mat are covered with brocade edges. Surrounded by pale blue tulle curtains, slowly fluttering with the breeze, a horizontal scroll on the wall, like a certain person's cursive writing, no luxury, but all show a noble charm.

The furnishings and arrangements in this room were all brought out by Xiao Qiniang herself. These five people were promoted not long ago, and most of their family backgrounds were shallow, so this time they went out in addition to their own clothes and

After listening to what Xiao Qi Niang said, Xiao Banniang's face was extremely solemn.

"Sister Yin, is this true?"

Xiao Qiniang held the tea cup and took a sip, with a faint wry smile on her plain face.

"Eighth sister, you and I have known each other for so long, how could my sister have lied to you." She sighed and put down the teacup in her hand, "Actually, this matter is not a secret in the Xiao family, if you and your aunt inquire about the deeds of the previous generation, you can probably see some clues." ”

Xiao Yin really didn't deceive Xiao Rong, and even strictly speaking, because Xiao Rong was familiar with Xiao Yin, she took a lot of advantage from her and knew a lot of things she didn't know. Xiao Rong is grateful for this, and because of this, Xiao Yin's status in her mind is very different.

"My sister doesn't question my sister, but if it's like what you say, then aren't we the inconspicuous green leaves among the green leaves of flowers, just born to be a foil?"

Who wants to be a green leaf to accompany others, Xiao Banniang naturally doesn't want to.

For a while, her face changed unpredictably, and after a long time, she spoke: "If this is the case, then Xiao Jiu's behavior has also been explained, I said that she is so young and so incorruptible and shameless, and she is not ashamed at all." ”

Xiao Qiniang had a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "The eighth sister shouldn't say that, these ninth sisters must know the mystery and are looking for a future for themselves." It's difficult for everyone, and we also have to understand. What's more, this matter is still two words, we need to see the future development, and we can't just make a judgment. ”

Xiao Banniang said disdainfully: "Sister Yin, you are good-natured, I am against her in the day, and you always persuade me." But look at what she has done, even if His Royal Highness the King of Chu is our cousin, even if she is still young now, she should not pretend to be stupid and run to His Royal Highness the King of Chu to be courteous, people who don't know still think that the daughter of our Xiao family is so inappropriate that she has not ruined the reputation of all of us. ”

Xiao Qiniang shook her head and sighed, and persuaded with a smile: "Okay, okay, what kind of heart are you, there are two elders on the boat, uncles and grandfathers didn't say anything, and those of us who are juniors are not good to say." What's more, His Royal Highness is a cousin, and he is so close to his cousin, and there is no doubt about others. ”

Xiao Banniang's eyes flashed, she pursed her lips and stopped talking, as if she was thinking about something.

Xiao Qiniang picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently, the smoke hazy her face, making the light smile on her face seem particularly meaningful.

*

At this time, Xiao Banniang, who was incorruptible and shameless, was doing something to 'ruin everyone's reputation', and naturally didn't know that she was being discussed in private.

The medicinal soup can't be soaked too much, it's best once every two or three days. Even so, Xiao Jiuniang also climbed the snake and climbed the rod, and would come to the Chu Wangfang every day to report.

In life, if you can't do it yourself, you need a backer. And the definition of the backer is that the behemoth behind him makes people timid and dare not come forward to invade before they get close. And those who are backed by the backer can naturally sit back and relax, and they will be at ease from now on.

Xiao Jiuniang understands the definition too well, and in her previous life, she had enough of the sweetness of having a backer behind her, so she naturally knew the essence of it. So she doesn't hide her behavior, and the backer is naturally not low-key, but to be released openly. If there is a big backer who hides and pretends to be low-key, it is either stupid or mercury in his head.

Xiao Jiuniang has always been smart, so naturally she would not do such a stupid thing.

What has been put for outsiders to see has been done, and Xiao Jiuniang has not let go of all the things about maintaining the backer. If you want to be a person who makes the master pay enough attention, you must be irreplaceable, and now Xiao Jiuniang has begun the first step of perfection, and many steps are coming one after another.

"Cousin's books, there are so many!" Xiao Jiuniang sighed.

The king of Chu is a studious person, and the people close to him know that if you talk about what is the most in the two lives of the king of Chu, not to mention the silver for the time being, the most important thing for the king of Chu is books, all kinds of books, solitary books and treasures at all levels.

On this trip, the king of Chu brought out a lot of books, and there was a whole wall of bookshelves in this riverside cabin, which was full of all kinds of books.

The king of Chu was not good at walking, and he rarely socialized with people during the day, and the most way to pass the time on weekdays was to read books. Xiao Jiuniang finally understood why the King of Chu was so knowledgeable in her previous life, and it turned out that she had already had a clue.

In the past few days, Xiao Jiuniang has come every day, sometimes she will fight with Chang Shun, sometimes she will talk to the king of Chu, most of the time she talks to the king of Chu, she talks to herself. It will be annoying to talk too much, and it is really not conducive to cultivating the closeness between the two, so Xiao Jiuniang put the idea on the bookshelf.

Seeing that King Chu ignored herself, Jiu Niang sighed again: "Cousin, you have so many books!" ”

The King of Chu raised his head and glanced at her, then put his eyes back on the scroll.

Chang Shun on the side choked and laughed, of course, this qiē was silent, and his eyebrows and eyes were all smiling at the girl who was pouting with a depressed face. The meaning in her expression was so obvious that Chang Shun was a little unbearable, so she said, "Do you want to see it, the slave will give you a copy." ”

"Yes, yes." The way your eyes shine.

A scroll that was not too thick was taken by Chang Shun and handed to Xiao Jiuniang's hand, and she couldn't wait to open it with a smile on her face.

At first, the smile could continue, but after a while, the smile gradually became reluctant, and after a while, there was no smile on the little face, and it became a seemingly embarrassed look, but it stopped talking. Her eyes quietly raised, glanced at Chang Shun who was not far away, and then looked at King Chu, who was closer to her. She thought that she was doing secret, but she didn't know that it had already been included in the corner of their eyes.

She quietly moved the crescent stool under her buttocks, moved it again, and finally simply didn't hide it and moved the stool to King Chu's side.

"Cousin—" The voice was quiet.

No one paid any attention to her.

"Cousin—" The voice was a little louder.

The corner of the King of Chu's eyes moved, and he looked at her with a half-sideways face.

"What's that word called?"

She held the book in her hand, pointed to a word on it, and looked dry.

"Yes."

"And what about this?"

"Pot."

"This ......"

Chang Shun couldn't hold back any longer, shook his shoulders and retreated outside, King Chu glanced at her meaningfully, and said, "You can't read?" ”

"You can't read!"

The appearance of the rebuttal was a little weak-hearted, and it seemed that the king of Chu was restless, she put the book on her knees and rubbed her little hands, "No one has taught Jiuniang to read, this time I went to Lanling It is said that the clan is very strict with the daughter of the Xiao family, Jiuniang is afraid of being looked down upon, cousin, you are so smart, teach Jiuniang." ”

It seems that all the qiē has been explained, and this kind of scheming makes people feel that it is not annoying, but rather a little cute. But King Chu still felt that he hadn't seen the person in front of him clearly, and this seemingly innocent little face was always shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

The king of Chu has always rarely cared about the affairs of others, so he is a little curious.

What does that mist look like?

The king of Chu did not know that when he really figured out the true face under this layer of mist one day, it would bring earth-shaking changes to his world.

Of course, this day is still early to come.
