Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Inexplicable Black Cauldron
"Don't move." He knelt on the bed, hunched over and grabbed her waist hard, then lifted her whole body up with her head still. But finally her ass was slightly off the ground, and she suddenly fell back again.
"What's the matter with you?"
She was a little aggrieved, "I slept in this position all night, and my legs were numb......"
He was a little annoyed, why was this woman so unconscious, always causing some trouble for herself and others, "Okay, why do you have to sit on the ground and sleep?" In this cold winter, do you think you are sick and have fewer children! β
The first look up just now had already made her cry in pain, coupled with the soreness of thousands of pinprick in her legs, and now her whole body is in an extremely uncomfortable state, and this pain is all because she wants to think about him, but the person concerned not only does not appreciate it at all, but feels disgusted with herself...... The physical pain and the grievances on the emotional xΓΉ, Xiao Han still couldn't hold back sobbing in the end.
It is true that men do not see women cry the most. Xiao Yu looked at her pear blossom with rain, although she didn't know what she was wronged about, but most of her anger had disappeared. So he said in a soft tone: "Okay, okay, this king will find a way to help you up." As he spoke, he was about to reach out to pull her, but she was suddenly thrown away by one hand.
"You don't need your help, you can go and do your own business, I will get up myself." She wanted to be angry, but her neck couldn't move at all, so she had to squint her eyes hard to show her anger. "Count me nosy, salty and don't worry about radishes!"
Xiao Yu looked at her funny appearance of squinting her eyes, twisting her legs and crooked neck, and not forgetting to mumble to herself, she had already laughed out loud in her heart, but her face still had to be tense, "What are you muttering, you can't be honest and obedient." β
How can Lu Xiaohan, who has a stubborn temper, be able to calm things lightly? Seeing that his tone was a little softer, he had the courage to cry loudly, "I'm also idle!" Why don't you care if you can sleep well? I should have kicked you up yesterday...... How can you let your white-eyed wolf nourish enough spirit to bite people in turn! Woowoo woo ......"
In her intermittent accusations, Xiaoyu finally understood the various reasons, and it turned out that she stupidly refused to go to bed and slept on the side of the bed all night, in order not to disturb herself. After this sudden realization, he was inevitably a little annoyed, and then he saw that she was stiff and numb, and she was crying her nose, and he couldn't help it.
"It's the king," he said with a slight shyness in his tone, for it would be awkward for a character like him to apologize for a trivial matter, "it was the king's negligence, I slept soundly last night - thanks to you." β
Xiao Han heard this, and secretly thought to himself, this guy, saying thank you has to be twisted and twisted, it's really boring!
Seeing that her sobbing stopped, Xiao Yu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and asked softly, "Are your legs still numb?" Is it possible to exert force? β
"It's numb, I can't move!"
He thought about it, and then got up and got out of bed, Xiao Han tilted his neck and couldn't see his movements around behind him, and just wanted to ask, when he suddenly felt his body suddenly lose gravity and rise into the air.
"You can't move, this king will pick you up." Xiao Yu took Lu Xiaohan in her arms with a horizontal hug, the strength was solid and sufficient, and she was not worried about falling off at all.
It was also at this moment that he completely hugged her and found that Lu Xiaohan, who usually opened his teeth and claws, was so fluttering, originally he thought that only a girl like Xu Yun who was weak and supported by the wind would feel like this, so his heart moved, and the movements in his hands became more gentle.
Knock knock. There was a sudden knock on the door, and Lan'er's voice came from outside the door: "Lord, General Zhang said that there is something important to report, do you need the slave maid to enter the house immediately to serve?" β
Xiao Yu didn't rush to answer, but helped Lu Xiaohan tidy up her messy hair, and then helped her tuck the quilt corners, and then walked to the door unhurriedly.
With a creak, the door opened, "The princess fell asleep last night, you should go and ask the store if there is any way to soothe it, so that you can wait." β
Lan'er received the order and trotted all the way downstairs, and then he asked Zhang Zihe unhurriedly: "What's going on again?" Has the poison among the soldiers not been alleviated? β
Zhang Zihe was anxious, "This time the soldiers are really poisoned!" β
"What!" Xiao Yu asked in surprise, and then his face changed suddenly, "Take this king to have a look!" β
The figures of the two quickly disappeared above the pavilion, and behind them, a figure walked out of the darkness around the corner, a man dressed in black and masked, one of the two people who had been hiding outside the post wall two days ago and whispering. He listened to the conversation between Zhang Zihe and Xiao Yu just now, and now he watched the scene of the two of them hurrying away from the upstairs, and the man in black had a treacherous smile on his face.
When he came to the barracks, he saw the soldiers staggering and wailing when he entered the tent, so he summoned a few generals in charge outside the tent and asked angrily, "What is going on?" β
A general who was familiar with the situation stepped forward and replied: "Lord Yu, since the early hours of this morning, the soldiers in the army have begun to vomit and diarrhea one after another, their faces have turned black, and the situation is extremely serious. β
"Lord Wang, judging from the symptoms of the soldiers, it is very likely that they are poisoned!" Another general stepped forward to report.
"Did you eat anything strange yesterday?"
Everyone shook their heads, but they peeked at each other, looking like they wanted to say something. "Zihe, what is the situation that you explain clearly to this king, why is everyone so grinding and chirping."
It could be seen that Zhang Zihe's expression was very embarrassed, but the military order was like a mountain, how could the main general not answer truthfully when he asked, so he stepped forward and saluted with his fists, buried his head and said: "The three meals a day in the army are all eaten with their own dry food, except for ...... Except for the ginger soup that the princess boiled for everyone last night. β
He pondered for a long time, and then asked quietly, "Have you tested the remaining ginger soup?" β
Several generals shook their heads. Also, it's a matter of importance, take ginger soup to test, isn't this tantamount to clearly locking the object of suspicion on the princess, who would dare to act rashly in such a big event as losing his head.
He thought about it, so he ordered: "Zihe, you go and find a way to verify whether the toxicity is really caused by ginger soup." The others went and gathered all the kitchen guys who handled the ginger soup last night to ask if there were any clues. After a pause, he added in a deep voice: "If it is found that this matter is really inseparable from the princess, this king will be severely punished, and he will never waste the lives of the vast number of soldiers." β
When the prince said this, everyone still had any doubts, so he received the order loudly: "The last general will obey the order." β
Lu Xiaohan's neck was just able to turn a little, but Lan'er suddenly broke into the door, and she suddenly turned her head in shock, so she screamed out in pain with an "ah".
"I'm going to die!" She bared her teeth in pain, "My neck was almost broken by you!" β
