Chapter 229: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

On the way back, Fang Xiaoyu held the shelf of the princess, looking extremely dignified, and the expression on her face was full of majesty. Only the palm holding Ye Xici was extremely forceful, which actually made Ye Xici feel the slightest tingling.

Ye Xici glanced at her a little strangely, and Fang Xiaoyu said lightly: "Let's go." ”

Ye Xi put down the doubts in his heart, and his steps couldn't help but speed up.

It wasn't until he returned to Qingliang Courtyard that Fang Xiaoyu's expression loosened a little. Pulling Ye Xi back to the room, Fang Xiaoyu immediately shook Ye Xici's hand, and the whole person went straight to the teapot on the table, even she didn't pour the tea into the cup, but held the teapot and poured it violently, and then slurled the tea in her mouth, and spit it into the teacup.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Xici was a little stunned when he saw Fang Xiaoyu's action in one go, seeing that Fang Xiaoyu was almost choked by the tea, he immediately stepped forward to pat her on the back and asked with concern.

"...... in that pastry" Fang Xiaoyu coughed twice before he finished speaking, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

"Poisonous?" Ye Xici was immediately shocked. He's almost scared out. If he hadn't always lived like this before, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so suspicious.

"It's not poisonous. However, someone added bitter herbs to the pastry, and when it was in the mouth, it was all bitter, but the person had a set of craftsmanship, and it smelled fragrant. Fang Xiaoyu's face turned a little green. She has always disliked bitterness, and in addition to the bitterness of tea and coffee, dishes like bitter melon have always been avoided by her. Not to mention bitter herbs.

In fact, bitter herb is also a wild vegetable that grows on the side of the road and can be eaten. However, it has a bitter taste and is very difficult to swallow. If it's easy to handle, it's okay to wrap steamed buns and dumplings with other dishes. However, if the juice is taken directly without treatment or chopped and mixed into any ingredients, it is simply bitter and fatal.

"And you still ate so much?" Ye Xici was stunned for a moment after listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, and then couldn't cry or laugh.

Fang Xiaoyu stretched out her tongue and fanned it with her hand, as if she could fan away the bitterness in her mouth, and said with difficulty: "This matter is mostly done by Ye Shilan, she has the intention of watching jokes, how can I be as ugly as she wants in front of so many people?" Ultimately. I would have thought that she would use such childish means to be the work of a child. ”

Fang Xiaoyu was in the main hall. After taking the first bite of the pastry, the bitter taste overflowed her mouth, making her almost vomit. Of course, she immediately realized that someone was trying to fix her, so she pretended to be casual and endured the unbearable bitterness and ate the rest. And I have been paying attention to everyone's expressions.

The others did look at her strangely at the first moment. But then they went their own way and stopped paying attention to her. Only Ye Shilan has been glancing at her a few times from time to time, and occasionally showing some puzzled looks, she knows that this is mostly done by this naïve guy.

From last night's laxatives to today's bitter herbs, it is different from the brazier in front of the door yesterday that directly contains murderous energy. She thought that Ye Shilan might have been reprimanded for the brazier incident. So she didn't dare to blatantly kill her anymore, but she was unwilling to let her go like this, so she came up with this kind of trick to make her ugly in front of everyone to deal with her.

It's just that this kind of trick is really naïve, even if she can't help but spit it out, and really hold her responsible, the chef who makes pastries will definitely not be able to escape, she is a victim, and it is naturally impossible for the chef to harm herself, which is the mastermind behind the scenes, you can guess a seven, seven, eight or eight when you think about it.

Although this kind of thing is not fatal, it is not a good thing after all, and if it spreads, in addition to saying that she Ye Shilan does not understand humility, what can she lose by laughing?

A concubine dares to find trouble with her concubine from time to time, such a reputation will only make Ye Shilan, who is not easy to marry, even more disgusting.

And she Fang Xiaoyu is already married, no matter how bad her reputation is, she is still married, what are you afraid of?

Ye Xici didn't know what expression to use to express his mood at the moment. Naturally, he was annoyed with Ye Shilan's endlessly, but for the act of adding bitter herbs to the pastry, it was indeed naïve, and he cried or laughed.

Just as Xie Yu came back from making a pot of tea, Ye Xici picked up the teapot and poured a cup, handed it to Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Drink another cup of tea to remove the bitterness." I'll ask her to give you an explanation. It seems that he was too forbearant in the past, but he made these people kick their noses in the face. ”

Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly took the teacup and drank it all, and finally felt that the bitterness in his mouth was lighter, so he smiled: "You don't have to worry about this matter, just leave the affairs in the backyard to me to deal with." It's not a good thing to do, and it won't cost me anything, but I'd like to see what else she can do. ”

"I'm sorry for you." Ye Xici is not persistent. He naturally knew that such a thing could not cause any substantial harm to the other party's laughter. It's just that on the wedding day, they are all happy, but when it is their turn, someone will always make something unpleasant.

"What's so bitter about this? It's endless fun to fight with people, compared to Mei Suxi's means when she was in the General's Mansion, this Ye Shilan is still a milk doll with a spoon in her mouth. Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

It's not that she is kind-hearted and doesn't pursue it, it's just because Ye Shilan is still useful to her, and it's okay to get used to it a little.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after Fang smiled and people came in, Mo Ji said with a happy smile: "Miss, uncle, the slave just watched from afar, as Miss said, that Ye Shilan went to Miss's seat with a strange face after everyone left, and picked up the pastry on the plate and tasted it, but it seemed that the pastry didn't taste very good, and Ye Shilan poured a big sip of tea very painfully. ”

After Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xiqi left the main hall, they quietly attached something to the ink mark's ear, so they came back all the way, but the ink mark stayed there to pay attention to Ye Shilan's every move.

"Moving a stone and hitting my own foot, I'm afraid that Ye Shilan is cursing me to die at this moment." Fang Xiaoyu smiled, feeling much more comfortable. The culprit had tasted the same bitterness as her, and she had a lot of balance in her heart.

Fang Xiaoyu took off the ornaments on his head, leaving only an elegant hosta. The whole person suddenly seemed less graceful and luxurious, and not so cumbersome.

Fang Xiaoyu came to the edge of the bed and sat down, rubbed his neck, which was still a little sour, and said with a smile: "Now there is Su Hongsilk." Li Suqing's good days are still to come. The more she loses her temper, the more she will push King An farther. It's just that I have some doubts about whether Li Suqing's approach has other intentions. She didn't give King An face like this, it didn't look like what she did before. ”

"Definitely. Although I don't like to have contact with her, I have seen her coax my good father over the years. Soft-spoken, coquettish, even if he is old, he will still wear the clothes that his father loves. Dangling in front of his father. The father loves that mouthful, and likes her to look like a little woman to make him happy. Ye Xici also looked puzzled and continued: "In this mansion." Although there is only one concubine with a position in Li Suqing, how can there be more than one maid who wants to climb onto his father's bed? But this Li Suqing can always grasp her father's preferences, so that no one can surpass her. Even if the father finally favors a maid, it is just a nameless room. The money and treatment are slightly more mentioned than before. But that's about it. From now on, he may never step into the maid's room again, which shows that Li Suqing has worked this matter. ”

"Such a person, just one Su Hongsilk can make her messed up?" Ye Xiqi didn't believe it.

"This person must not be underestimated. She is different from Ye Shilan, Ye Shilan's stupidity is habitual, but Li Suqing, as Jian Zhengyan's adopted daughter, must have suffered a lot when she was a child, otherwise Jian Zhengyan and his wife would not dare to send her out to deal with her mother concubine easily. Fang Xiaoyu frowned. continued: "I'm afraid that she has another conspiracy, and she deliberately used this method to make you and me let down our guard. In short, this woman has to be guarded against. Ink marks, you send someone to keep an eye on her, if there is anything strange, remember to come in time......"

Before Fang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he suddenly heard some strange sounds. It's like the feeling when something rubs against the futon, and there are some 'sizzling' sounds, which are extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

But in just an instant, Fang Xiaoyu's powerful reflexes began to work, and when she realized that something had reached her hand and was rushing towards her body, she had already made a quick move, grabbed the head of the thing, and with a little force, she wrung it off.

Fang Xiaoyu's move was very sudden, and when he saw what Fang Xiaoyu was holding in his hand, Ye Xiyu's face darkened suddenly.

At the same time, Fang Xiaoyu's face was not good-looking, and what burst out of his eyes in an instant was a deep killing intent.

"It's okay to make a little fuss, don't worry about her, she really thinks that there is no way to take her, but it will become more and more endless!" Ye Xici instantly moved with murderous intent.

"This snake is a seven-ringed snake, which is extremely venomous, and if it is bitten, it can kill a person in an instant. The slave maid had seen her at Ji Xiaolu before, she was good at making drugs, and almost everyone was equipped with the poison she made when the shadow division went out to kill. This seven-ringed snake is what she often uses. Ink marks were also startled. As soon as I saw the appearance of this snake again, I immediately connected with the extremely poisonous snake I had seen in the moon division.

"He wants your life." Ye Xi said in a deep voice, his expression getting colder and colder.

Fang Xiaoyu sneered: "It's not necessarily that he wants my life, maybe the person he wants to harm is you......" Fang Xiaoyu looked up at Ye Xici and said, "Maybe." ”

Ye Xi resigned, but he forgot that he was the most unpopular person in King An's mansion, and the person who wanted him to die the most.

Fang Xiaoyu shook the dead snake in his hand and said, "This seven-ringed snake is extremely poisonous, it can almost kill you on the spot, and you don't even have time to heal." Unless there is an antidote with you, you may be able to save your life. This snake keeper put such poison into your room and me, I am afraid that he has the intention of killing, which is completely different from the previous laxatives and bitter herbs, so it may not be Ye Shilan's means. ”

"If she is desperate to kill you and me, she can add arsenic to the original meals and pastries, just like the brazier in front of the door, there is no need to be so careful." Fang smiled thoughtfully.

"What do you mean, Mademoiselle, is there someone else who releases the snake?" Inkmark asked.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as letting snakes harm people. Maybe it's a way to kill two birds with one stone. Fang Xiaoyu's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

"Killing two birds with one stone?" Ye Xici pondered for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be related to Ye Shucheng?" ”

Whether it has anything to do with him or not is a matter of two theories, but it cannot be denied such a possibility. He wanted to marry me for the support of my father's 500,000 Zhenyuan army, and with this huge military support, he would have more bargaining chips to compete with the crown prince for the throne. It is said that even if he can't get me, he shouldn't let me marry into this Anwang Mansion safely and become your wife. You are the prince's faction, I married you, and naturally I was labeled as a prince, can my father still draw a line with me and support him Ye Shucheng in the past? He threatened me at the palace banquet, saying that if you don't marry, you can't get married. He holds your secret, and he could expose it to ruin your marriage to me, but he is silent and silent. Although we pretend that King Meng's lineage has given him a lot of clues, making it difficult for him to separate. But a few words can be done through the mouths of others, and it doesn't take much effort. Fang said with a smile. The reason why she is so suspicious is because she knows Ye Shucheng too well, and this kind of roundabout method is his favorite method.

"Now that you have married me unharmed, it is equivalent to tying your father-in-law to the prince's ship. It's not good for him. Ye Xici also thought about it according to Fang Xiaoyu's train of thought, and said, "But if you die in this palace, your father-in-law will definitely be furious." Naturally, he will turn against King An's Mansion, and may even turn against the prince. In this way, taking refuge in Ye Shucheng has become the best way. ”

"But this matter must have been done by someone in the palace, if he turns against the general in the future, what good will he get? Since the second prince wants to accept the general for his own use, it is naturally impossible to offend the general for such a person, on the contrary, this person is likely to be thrown out as a scapegoat to calm the general's anger. In this way, isn't he tantamount to sacrificing himself to fulfill the second prince, is he really so loyal that he will not hesitate to risk his life? Ink Marks felt that there was still something strange in it. If it's a dead soldier trained at the beginning or a loyal minion, that's it. But even if King An has the mind to lean on the second prince's head, it is impossible to sacrifice himself to become such great as the second prince, right?

"So, what if all this is done by Ye Shilan?" Ye Xici had a cold face, and the more expressionless he was, the more frightening he looked.

He was really angry. (To be continued.) )
