Chapter Ninety-Six: Cherish It
Seeing Zhen Yue's face change in shock, the two maids thought they had said the wrong thing, and kowtowed again: "The girl spares her life." ”
Zhen Yue was pulled back to her senses by them, put away the shock in her heart, exhaled heavily, her face returned to coldness, and said in a low voice: "If you want to save your life, you must forget about this matter completely, do you understand?" ”
The two maids listened to the excitement and nodded in thanks: "The slave and maid understand, the slave and maid don't remember anything, don't know anything, and haven't said anything." ”
Zhen Yue nodded with satisfaction: "Hurry up, talk less and do more things in the future." ”
"Yes, slave and maid, remember, Miss Xie." The maid hurriedly picked up the poured watering can and went back to work, but her fingers were white, and the fear in her heart was not gone.
Zhen Yue saw that these two little girls were smart, and she left in a hurry no longer worried, and the top priority was to discuss countermeasures with Ah Qiu.
"Girl."
Just passing by the North Courtyard, I heard someone calling, the voice was a little hoarse, Zhen Yue didn't expect to meet April at this hour, April was dressed in green clothes, and her hair was tied with bamboo hairpins, giving people a particularly calm feeling, April was not very old, but she looked older than people of the same age.
"Four stewards?" Zhen Yue stopped and walked towards April, the courtyard was quiet, there were a few pine trees, and thousands of green bamboo poles, she raised her eyes and glanced at the dormitory in the courtyard, and saw that the door of the palace was tightly closed, presumably the owner had not yet gotten up.
"Girl, where are you going early in the morning?"
"I went to the East Pavilion and heard that there was a new batch of tea, so I went to get some back." Zhen Yue saw that there were fine droplets of water on his eyebrows, and he was holding a delicate large carved wooden box in his hand, and his fingers were a little red. I think I've been waiting for a long time.
"If the girl wants to drink tea, she can send a maid to fetch it, why do you go in person."
"Get up in the morning and walk around and move your muscles."
April grinned: "The girl is as old as a flower, and she is not an old man, so she needs to move her muscles and bones." ”
Zhen Yue smiled indifferently: "Let the four stewards laugh, I don't know what the four stewards have to call me?" ”
"Oops." April held up the red lacquered carved wooden box in front of her, and there was only one slit left with a smile in her eyes: "Patronizing and chatting with the girl, I almost forgot about business, and yesterday the owner of the workshop ordered me to give this to the girl." Later. I still have to go to the Water Lotus Pavilion, and I'm worried that I won't be able to meet the girl, so I just wait here. ”
Zhen Yue remembered that the owner of the workshop said yesterday that he would give her a fire fox mink suit, and her heart suddenly felt a little heavy. remembered the appearance of his poisonous hair in Pingyang City. I can't help but feel a little at a loss. Every day, she worked with him step by step, but in order to keep the persistence in her heart, she took the wooden box and smiled: "Thank you for me." ”
"Girl, thank you personally. The owner said that winter was coming, and this mink coat would definitely allow the girl to have a warm long winter. April flicked her sleeves, looked gentle and humble, and said: "The things are delivered, the girl has put it away, and the whole Shu Kingdom is afraid that there is only this one fire fox, and the girl cherishes it."
Zhen Yue felt that he had something to say, and the fingers holding the wooden box inadvertently tightened, and replied, "Zhen Yue knows." ”
Zhen Yue saw that April left, and did not go directly to the Water Pavilion Pavilion, but went back to the east courtyard, and placed the carved wooden box in her hand, she did not open it to take a look, some things can not be touched, and she will not raise the courage to open it, just like the affection inside, the average lifespan of a fox is ten to fifteen years, and the fire fox can only survive for three years because of its bright hair, strong aura, and scarce species, and hunters can rarely find the nest of the fire fox, and make a mink coat with the fire fox, you can imagine how many fire foxes are needed, not only the only one in Shu, Looking at Shikoku, how many can there be!
She doesn't want to kick this kind of affection, and she doesn't have the energy to analyze, she is a dead-eyed person, once she determines one thing, she will move forward bravely, she wants to leave Qilinfang, go to Dongtan with Ah Qiu, go to Jiangnan, and she will no longer look elsewhere, this is her stubborn and determined.
At the same time, Qiu Sheng, who was waiting in the Water Pavilion Pavilion, saw that she was delaying the future, and his calm heart slowly became anxious, looking at the sky, it was already sunset, and the cool breeze blew away the white clouds in the sky, faintly covering the warm sunshine.
The sound of footsteps came softly, Qiu Sheng looked vigilantly, and saw a familiar figure gradually approaching, and a smile appeared on the man's elegant face.
"Why did you come? Why didn't you wear a cloak, it's cold in the morning, don't be infected with the wind cold. Qiu Sheng pulled Zhen Yue to sit on the stone bench, and his calloused hands held her slender and white hands tightly, gentle and warm.
Zhen Yue's face turned red, and she withdrew her hand and said, "I don't feel cold." ”
Qiu Sheng saw the empty palm, and his beating heart suddenly became empty, and he said as usual: "Call me in such a hurry, but is there something?" ”
"Your disappearance while you're still alive has spread all over Shikoku, how are you going to deal with the people of Xitan?"
Qiu Sheng smiled: "It turns out that you are worried about this, don't worry, Mr. Fan will handle it properly." ”
Mr. Fan is doing things, Zhen Yue has always been relieved, "That's good, but there is another very important thing." His eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing this, Qiu Sheng immediately became cautious, his eyes were sharp, and he instantly put away the elegance he usually posed, and waited quietly for her to speak.
"The owner of the house is highly poisonous, it should be some years, every fifteenth month, if there is no antidote, it will be poisonous, and the meridians of the whole body will be broken, just like a cripple!" The sound is like ice.
"Poisonous!" Qiu Sheng stood up suddenly, his handsome face changed in disbelief, "Where did your news come from?" ”
"Do you remember that I took the Yueya Bang of Pingyang City King Fugui, I saved a side attacker, that side attacker is the owner of Yi Rong, yesterday, I sneaked into his bedroom, verified the human skin mask, I didn't think about it at the time, early this morning, I overheard two maids chatting, I knew that the owner was unwell on the fifteenth of each month, and on the fifteenth of last month, Gu Xuefu rode into the fourth courtyard, presumably the antidote was sent a little late, the toxicity of the owner made Mr. Zixu suppress, but the illness was indeed a little strange, and the action was inconvenient." Zhen Yue told him the maid's conversation word for word.
I saw the man frowning, narrowing his inky black pupils, as sharp as an ostrich, shining with elite light inside, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth rose shallowly, with a hint of calculation.
"Xiaoyue, this news shocked me too much, if the owner of the workshop is really poisonous, then our chances of victory can be imagined, I will go out to meet with Mr. Fan in the next few days and re-plan."
Zhen Yue got up and asked intently, "Ah Qiu, do you know the master of Yi Rong?" ”
Qiu Sheng asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do with the master of disguise?" ”
"Of course it's useful." The corners of her mouth were cold, and her gaze was like a sword: "I want to explore Gu Xuefu." ”
"Is it for the antidote?"
Zhen Yue nodded appreciatively: "I want a human skin mask for April, April has been very close to Gu Xuefu in recent days, there must be a problem between the two, not to mention, our antidote is not in the hands of the elders at all, the most likely is Gu Xuefu, she is in charge of the antidote of the owner, she must know a lot about toxicity, I want to explore."
