Chapter 186: Mole Beware
Qiu Ju also smiled and nodded: "What Dongmei said is very true. ”
Liu Xuan looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I didn't suddenly feel like this, I just think that now that I have found a home, you two are even older and I, it's time to think about the future." I can't delay you all the time. ”
Dongmei was immediately ashamed when she heard this, she blushed and said, "Miss is so dignified that she is not ashamed of what she has done." ”
Liu Xuan laughed when she heard this: "I know your thoughts very well, don't worry, when I return to Beijing, I will help you ask Qian Tong what he means." ”
As soon as these words came out, Dongmei's face turned red with shame, and she stomped her feet and shouted in shame: "Miss! Then he covered his face and ran out.
Liu Xuan looked at her back and smiled happily, Qiu Ju also chuckled on the side, and even Xiaozhu interjected when he saw this: "It seems that nothing can be hidden from the girl, the slave looks at Dongmei's appearance, and he must be as fond of Qian Tong as the girl said." ”
Liu Xuan smiled and nodded: "After returning to Beijing, I often have trouble with her looking for Qiantong, Qiantong is a dull person, and she is often bullied by her but her face is red but she can't open her mouth. ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Qiu Ju with a smile and said, "Dongmei already has a favorite person, what about you?" Have you ever wondered what the future holds? ”
Qiu Ju is not as thin-skinned as Dongmei, she shook her head and said: "Miss doesn't have to worry about the slave, the slave is enough to accompany the young lady in this life." ”
Liu Xuan deliberately frowned when she heard this: "How can it be done, a woman must always find a man who knows her, understands her, and loves her in her life, such as your young lady and me." After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Che and asked with a smile, "Did Your Majesty say it?" ”
Li Che didn't seem to have thought that this would turn to himself. He coughed lightly a few times and did not speak, only nodded invisibly.
Xiao Zhuzi smiled on the side: "In this world, I'm afraid that only the girl can make His Majesty show such an embarrassing appearance." ”
As soon as he finished laughing, he heard Li Che snort softly: "Little pillar, I think you seem to be very idle lately?" ”
Xiao Zhuzi's body shook and shook his head again and again: "Not idle, not idle, the slave has been busy lately." ”
Xiao Zhuzi's appearance provoked Liu Xuan and Qiu Ju to chuckle again.
After Liu Xuan finished laughing, she looked at Qiu Ju Zhengse and said: "I didn't just say what I said before, Qiu Ju still pays attention to the fact that there are people around him who are worth entrusting for a lifetime, and I look at Hu Yi and others are good." If you don't like it in the end. Miss, I'm going to mess around with the mandarin duck score. ”
Qiu Ju was shocked when she heard this: "Miss really wants to give the slaves and maids a promise?" ”
Liu Xuan nodded: "You are also old, you can't follow me into the palace to be that old lady, now that I have made a decision, naturally I can't delay you." ”
Listen to her say the word "enter the palace". Li Che couldn't help but glance back at her. Qiu Ju knelt down with a puff when she heard this. She said earnestly: "It is Qiu Ju's blessing to be able to accompany Miss, Qiu Ju does not want to marry, she only wants to be by Miss's side." Serving the young lady all her life is Qiu Ju's greatest wish. ”
Seeing this, Liu Xuan sighed and called her up: "I'm just planning to do this, if you really don't want to, I won't take you seriously and promise you at will, it's too early to do so, let's talk about it then." ”
Hearing her say this, Qiu Ju was slightly relieved, got up and saluted her: "Thank you, Miss." ”
This is how it passed, and Dongmei returned to the tent after her shame faded.
Li Che stayed after eating, and Liu Xuan didn't feel sleepy at the moment, so he got up to play with him and waited for Cui Laifu to come back.
Although Liu Xuan was playing chess, he was worried about the antidote, and he couldn't help but be a little absent-minded, but Li Che was as calm as ever, and Liu Xuan was defeated after a while.
Li Che saw that her heart was not here, so he simply ordered Xiaozhu to collect the chessboard and sit with her and wait.
At three o'clock, Cui Laifu and Hu Yi and Hu Er came back, and before they could speak, Liu Xuan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Have you ever seen anyone? Have you ever got an antidote? ”
Cui Laifu shook his head, Liu Xuan frowned when he saw this, and Hu Yi replied: "We have been in ambush in the grove three miles away for two hours and have not seen a human figure. ”
Li Che nodded and said he understood: "I know that this matter will never be so simple, you should step back first." ”
Hu Yi and the others responded and retreated, Li Che saw Liu Xuan bowing his head and saying nothing, as if he was thoughtful, and was about to open his mouth to be relieved, but he heard Sun Xun say outside: "The generals have something to ask Your Majesty to discuss." ”
Li Che responded, then got up and said to Liu Xuan: "Don't worry too much, it's the right thing to take care of your body first." ”
Liu Xuan looked up at him and nodded, and Li Che turned to leave.
Xiaozhuzi and Cui Laifu also followed Li Che away, and only Liu Xuan and Qiu Ju Dongmei were left in the big tent.
Liu Xuan kept her head down and didn't know what she was thinking, Dongmei thought she was worried about the antidote, so she opened her mouth to persuade her: "Miss don't worry too much, although His Majesty has not solved the poison, but it is not a big problem, after returning to the dynasty, the Gongyuan will definitely have a way." ”
Liu Xuan snorted when she heard this, what Dongmei said made sense, although the poison had not been discharged in Li Che's body, it would not cause much damage to him for a while, but knowing that it was one thing, as long as she thought that the poison was fed by her own hands, as long as she thought that the poison was still in her body, she would be unable to let go after all.
She pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke: "Tiger one, tiger two, tiger three, tiger four." ”
Hu Yi and the others came out in response and saluted her: "Girl." ”
Liu Xuan nodded at the four of them: "Now Long Yilong, Long Er, Long San have not returned, I am in the big tent and protected by everyone, there is nothing to do, but Your Majesty must be busy there, you go and see the place that can be useful to you." ”
Hu Yi and the others glanced at each other when they heard this, and Hu Yi: "The duty of the subordinates and others is to protect the girl, Your Majesty has not ordered it, and we dare not leave without permission." ”
"I know what you mean." Liu Xuan looked at the four of them: "But at this time and that time, you might as well go and take a look, if Your Majesty really has no orders, it will not be too late to come back." ”
Hu Yi and the others were still hesitant, and Liu Xuan said: "I have some things that are inconvenient for you to be present, so you can go and ask, and then come back." ”
Hearing her say this, Hu Yi and the others responded.
After Hu Yi and the others left. Liu Xuan said to Dongmei again: "I only used some small porridge before, but now I'm a little hungry, you go to the room to see if there is anything else to eat." ”
Hearing this, Dongmei glanced at Liu Xuan, then at Qiu Ju, and then bowed her head and left.
Now that only Liu Xuan and Qiu Ju are left in the tent, Liu Xuan turned to look at Qiu Ju, her eyes were a little fierce, Qiu Ju was puzzled when she saw this: "What's wrong with Miss?" ”
Liu Xuan quietly looked at the person who had been by her side, Qiu Ju's face was as usual, still as usual with a hint of respect. She closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath. Then she opened her eyes full of clarity, her voice was a little tired, and she looked at Qiu Ju and said, "Offer the antidote, and I will let you go." ”
Qiu Ju was slightly stunned when she heard this. Then he asked, "What is Miss talking about?" Why can't the slave and maid understand? ”
"Nope. You understand. I couldn't be clearer. Liu Xuan looked at her and said lightly: "This is your only chance, for the sake of you serving me for nearly two years, and for the sake of you never really wanting to kill me in the end." This is your only chance, leave the antidote and let you go. ”
Qiu Ju lowered her head slightly when she heard this, she was silent for a long time, and finally raised her head and asked, "When did Miss suspect me?" ”
Liu Xuan sighed: "Soon, if this letter hadn't appeared today, I might not have suspected you." ”
Qiu Ju also wanted to ask to understand: "Why does Miss doubt that I don't doubt Dongmei?" ”
Liu Xuan's heart was a little heavy, thinking of those days with them, she decided to make her words clear: "It was you who reminded me of sincerity that day, I only cook some meals when I have nothing to do, and I will naturally go back to the room when you mention it, and yesterday's dishes were only touched by the guy, you, Dongmei and me, and the guy has found out that he was blamed, so the rest is only you and Dongmei." ”
She looked at Qiu Ju and said lightly: "Actually, I thought about it later, the poison must not have been given in the room, there were many people at that time, and if you want to start, you and Dongmei have no chance, and after returning to the camp, I personally looked at the food box, which means that the only chance to poison was when I walked around the camp, and you were the only one who touched the food box at that time." ”
Qiu Ju defended: "Miss is walking around the camp, but everyone is in the limelight, and the room is already crowded, isn't there more people at that time?" ”
"Nope." Liu Xuan shook her head: "When you and Dongmei were in the room, they looked at each other together, and it was naturally not easy to start, and when I walked around the barracks, everyone's eyes were focused on me, naturally no one paid attention to you who was carrying a food box, Dongmei was worried that I was tired and put her mind on me all the time, which gave you the best opportunity." ”
Qiu Ju smiled bitterly when she heard this: "Miss is really smart, since Miss has already guessed that it was me by inference, why did she say that the letter was exposed?" ”
Liu Xuan sighed lightly: "Although you are the only one who has the opportunity to poison, I don't want to suspect you, but that letter was found under my bedding, the camp is heavily guarded, and there are even more tigers and others guarding it, even if you are strong in martial arts and can come and go freely, you can't enter the camp tent in broad daylight, and the only one who has a chance is you who serve me to rest." At that time, Dongmei was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, which also ruled out her suspicion. ”
Liu Xuan sighed lightly again: "Today, Grandpa Cui returned in vain, which further confirms that you are the one who poisoned you, because at that time, you and Dongmei both had the opportunity to report the news, and Dongmei was suspicious, which just confirmed your identity even more." ”
She looked at Dongmei and said: "You obviously have the opportunity to poison yourself and your majesty to death, but in the end you chose a poison that is not very powerful, which proves that you still have the righteousness of you and my master and servant in your heart, for which I am grateful to you, but Li Che's safety is the top priority in my heart, so today I will give you one last chance, leave the antidote, you go." ”
Qiu Ju did not speak, nor did she leave.
Liu Xuan looked at her and said: "I know that you must have a hard time, I don't ask why you were poisoned, I don't ask who your comrades are, and I won't hand you over to Li Che, I just need you to offer the antidote, don't hesitate, you won't be able to leave when Hu Yi and the others come back." ”
Qiu Ju finally moved when she heard this, she slowly knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Liu Xuan, and then got up and took out a porcelain bottle from her arms and put it on the table, she looked at Liu Xuan deeply and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry Miss, this is not what I want, Miss will cherish it more in the future, don't believe in the people around you, Qiu Ju can no longer serve you." ”
After speaking, she saluted Liu Xuan again.
Liu Xuan couldn't bear it in her heart, and closed her eyes gently.
Qiu Ju said softly: "Miss reminds Your Majesty to be careful of Jin Yi and the National Teacher of the Liao Kingdom. ”
After speaking, she no longer glanced at Liu Xuan, turned around and disappeared into the big tent.
After a long time after she left, Liu Xuan opened her eyes, she looked at the porcelain bottle on the table in a little stunned, her heart sank slightly, she knew that she was doing this with some women's kindness, but Qiu Ju had never tasted the kindness of women when she was poisoned?
Qiu Ju was brought to her by Long Yi, it was carefully selected by Long Yi, she has always done her duty, if she wants to kill herself, there are more opportunities to start, whether it is in the capital or in Shudi, if she really wants to kill herself, she has already become a pile of white bones.
But she didn't, she didn't get a poison that was not so serious until today, that is to say, she only received an order in recent days to poison herself and Li Che, she usually has a little sincerity to herself, she knows it very well, it is precisely because she is clear that she knows her embarrassment and compulsion.
Now that it is an eventful autumn, her last reminder made Liu Xuan have to pay attention to it.
Long Yi and the others went to protect Jin Yi, but after Jin Yi ascended the throne, Long Yi and the others lost contact, and when Dongmei left, she reminded her to pay attention to Jin Yi and the national teacher of Liao.
Thinking of this, Liu Xuan hurriedly spoke: "Dongmei! Hurry up and ask Your Majesty to come, no matter what he is doing, be sure to invite him over, just say that I have something important! By the way, I also invited Imperial Doctor Gong over! ”
Dongmei answered outside the tent, and then hurriedly went to pass the word.
Liu Xuan sat in the tent, looking at the porcelain vase in her hand, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she knew that her worries were possible, and this possibility was very big, even so big that she could almost be sure!
It didn't take long for Li Che to come, along with Sun Xun and Imperial Doctor Gong.
As soon as they entered the account, Liu Xuan said to Imperial Physician Gong: "This porcelain bottle is an antidote, and Imperial Physician Gong came to argue the authenticity." ”
Imperial Physician Gong was slightly shocked when he heard this, he glanced at Liu Xuan's expression, and finally didn't say anything, he came up and took the porcelain bottle, opened it and looked at it carefully, and after a while, he nodded: "It's the antidote!" ”
Liu Xuan was relieved when she heard this, and looked at Li Che, who walked to her side and frowned at her, and smiled bitterly: "I let the person go." ”
Everyone heard it in a fog, only Li Che understood her words, and he nodded: "If you let it go, let it go, but a pawn is not a big deal." ”
Liu Xuan bowed her head slightly in response, and then poured a glass of water for Li Che with her own hands: "Take the antidote first, I'm talking to you about what you are calling you for." ”
Li Che responded, took the porcelain bottle handed by Imperial Physician Gong and took the antidote with water, then looked at Liu Xuan and said, "What are you calling me here in such a hurry?" (To be continued......)
