Zhang Ci stood for a long time, and finally sat down in his place, but he was a little shy and didn't dare to look at Chen Qiuniang.

"You eat some, I haven't seen much yet." Chen Qiuniang looked at his cramped appearance and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Okay." Zhang Ci replied, and ate with chopsticks, the whole person seemed to be wrong, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Chen Qiuniang looked at the appearance of this beautiful man, and she didn't know why the majestic patriarch of the Nine Great Families was so cramped and uneasy at this moment.

"What's wrong with you?" She couldn't think of it, so she asked directly. Zhang Ci's chopsticks were stunned and looked at her, but he immediately withdrew his gaze and said, "Not much." ”

"Are you uncomfortable?" Chen Qiuniang asked.

"Nope." He said immediately.

Chen Qiuniang felt that this man was not telling the truth, and according to her judgment, he must have felt uncomfortable. As soon as she thought of this, she instantly worried that he had been injured in some way but did not reveal it. Yes, this person is likely to do it in order not to worry the people around him.

"Are you alright?" Chen Qiuniang had no intention of eating crab stuffed oranges, so she put crab stuffed oranges on the table while asking.

"Nope." Zhang Ci replied immediately.

Chen Qiuniang didn't ask again, stood up and walked over, half-squatting in front of his desk to look at him carefully. Zhang Ci looked up at her and asked, "You, what are you looking at?" ”

"Are you feeling sick?" Chen Qiuniang asked very solemnly. She was really worried about him, because his face seemed to be a little flushed and his expression was a little dazed. His eyes were originally as cool as water, dark and deep, and his eyes were very calm and calm, but at this moment, they looked a little anxious and scattered.

"I didn't." He said. The calm and calm tone of Ping Suri was gone, and on the contrary, there was a hint of displeasure, anxiety and impatience in the tone.

"I've never seen you like this, looking so red, this look is not right. Youqi, we are going to share weal and beg, don't hide anything from me. She sighed.

"Get out, get out of here." He suddenly let out a loud shout.

Chen Qiuniang was frightened, Zhang Ci got up suddenly, waved his long sleeves, and shouted loudly: "Come on, throw this woman back into her tent and take strict care." ”

"You-" Chen Qiuniang didn't know what to say when she spit out a word, because she didn't know why Zhang Ci, who had always been mild-mannered, suddenly lost his temper and used such fierce words.

Zhang Ci ignored her, and almost strode to the door of the tent, and was furious, urging loudly, saying, "Quickly throw this woman to her tent and take care of her." ”

The guards were so frightened that they immediately rushed into the tent to grab Chen Qiuniang. Chen Qiuniang waved her hand and said, "I will go by myself." ”

She didn't feel any anger because of Zhang Ci's actions. At this moment, she was full of questions and worries. I have known him for so long, Zhang Ci is admittedly a bit of a noble son's cold and cool temper, but he is also very polite to people, and even if he treats enemies, he is a clear moon, where can there be such a moment of gaffe.

He must have had something urgent to do to treat her like this. She wouldn't be angry with him, and she wouldn't screw with him. He is the patriarch of the Nine Great Families, and she can trust his deployment and calculations.

"Keep her in custody, and kill anyone who comes near without my orders." Zhang Ci said coldly.

The group of guards replied "yes" in unison, and then one of the guards asked, "The subordinates dare to ask the second son, what if Miss Su wants to leave the tent?" ”

"Then tie her up and throw her into the tent." Zhang Ci no longer looked at Chen Qiuniang, turned around and finished answering, waved his hand, and said, "You all go down and quickly find Lu Gongzi for me." ”

"Yes." The guards replied in unison, and then escorted Chen Qiuniang out of the tent. The moment Chen Qiuniang walked out of the tent door, she looked back at Zhang Ci. But he just left her with a not too calm back, and she couldn't know more.

Chen Qiuniang's tent is next to Zhang Ci's tent, because no one needs to enter to report things, it is just a place to rest, so this tent is relatively small. It's still the same treatment as last night, soft cushions, thick quilts, a pot of hot tea on the desk, and a candle.

She lay down on the mat, thinking about what had happened, but she couldn't remember anything. So she pricked up her ears and listened quietly to what was going on around her.

There were night birds chirping, wolves in the mountains in the distance, and the footsteps of guards patrolling as they came and went. And the tent she had been hanging in her heart and mind did not make a sound.

What the hell happened to him? Is it poisoned? Chen Qiuniang thought of this possibility and stood up suddenly.

"If it's poisoning, why don't you let me be by his side?" Chen Qiuniang sat on the mat with her knees hugged and thought to herself. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but think in embarrassment: Could it be that he is the kind of poison that cannot be desired, right? She thought of the time when she went to dinner with Zhu Wenkang and was overshadowed, that is, that time, she learned about some things within the Nine Great Families from Jing Liang's attitude.

If it's the kind of poison that you can't want, it tastes really bad. It's not a good feeling, but it's a really bad feeling. Chen Qiuniang frowned, got up and grabbed her cloak, then opened the curtain and said to the guard next to her: "Big brother, I have something to find Lu Gongzi, can you pass it on on your behalf." ”

"You also heard the second son's order. Miss Sue, don't embarrass us. The guard said coldly.

"Then please let the eldest brother pass it on for me, and ask the second son if he allows it." Chen Qiuniang was really worried about Zhang Ci, so she begged the guard in a soft voice.

The guard shook his head and said, "The girl doesn't know, the second son said that we are not allowed to approach, we can't go without permission, otherwise we will be killed." ”

Chen Qiuniang knew that the guard was telling the truth, the maintenance of the nine major families could not rely on benevolence, and the patriarch of the nine major families would not be a good person, and goodness could not rule such a huge family. She sighed, turned and went back to the tent to lie down.

I lay down all night, drank halfway, touched some white buns and nibbled on them, but I still couldn't sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she was Zhang Ci's confused appearance, and the look at her made her feel scared.

Who poisoned him, and what was the purpose of those who poisoned him? And the person who can poison him is not an idle person. Chen Qiuniang analyzed the causes and consequences, and the analysis made her feel terrified.

So, this night, Chen Qiuniang turned over and over, watching the long night pass with her eyes open.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, she turned over, dressed neatly, stacked the bedding neatly, and quietly waited for Zhang Ci's call. Sure enough, after a while, there was movement outside the tent.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, please stay." The guard said loudly.

"I came to invite Miss Su over on the order of the second son." Lu Chen said.

The guard probably saw some token, so he didn't feel embarrassed anymore and let Lu Chen come over. As soon as Lu Chen opened the curtain and looked at the room, he smiled and said, "It seems that you haven't slept all night." ”

"I recognize the bed." She said calmly.

Lu Chen laughed and said, "I don't know who slept until noon the day before yesterday. ”

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes and was silent, only straightened her clothes, took her own baggage, Shi Shiran stood up and asked, "Has the second son gotten up?" ”

"He expected you to have no rest, so he asked me to come early in the morning and invite you over for breakfast." Lu Chen said.

Chen Qiuniang took the lead out of the tent with her burden and strode towards Zhang Ci's tent. Lu Chen hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about him?" ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Chen Qiuniang gave him a blank look.

Lu Chen pursed his lips and said, "He said that you are suspicious and careful. is too smart, and will inevitably analyze that it will make it difficult for him to sleep. ”

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes, paused, sighed, and said, "He really understands me." Then why hide it from me. ”

"Did I leave you there and eat it? He cherishes you. Lu Chen asked rhetorically.

Chen Qiuniang didn't Zhang Ci cherish her, so he tried his best to control herself, and then drove her away. She nodded and said, "I know his thoughts, but I'm more worried that the person who can calculate Zhang Ergongzi must not be an idle person." Have you found out? Also, has his poison been cured? ”

"I dare to see you, so naturally I am relieved." Lu Chen said, and then said with a wicked smile, "Actually, you want to know how to solve it." ”

Chen Qiuniang was told the central matter, lowered her head and snorted coldly, and said, "Who is as boring as you, I'm just worried about the person who plots against him." ”

When Lu Chen laughed, the fifth lady shouted from the side of the carriage: "Cousin." Lu Chen paused, and immediately said: "This is all at the door, what do you have to ask your Youqi." ”

"Okay, okay, go and accompany your Fanghua sister." Chen Qiuniang waved her hand impatiently, and hurriedly quickened her pace and went to Zhang Ci's tent.

Chen Qiuniang opened the curtain and walked in, and Zhang Ci was already dressed and sitting on the main seat. Today, he is wearing a military uniform, his hair is neatly crowned, and his expression is peaceful. When he saw Chen Qiuniang coming in, he pointed to the guest seat and said, "Sit down and have breakfast." ”

When Chen Qiuniang heard his words, she was a little inexplicably angry, and thought: I was worried about you all night, and you also know it, don't you know how to tell me about the situation when you meet?

Therefore, she did not listen to Zhang Ci's instructions to sit down on the guest seat, but put the burden on the guest seat, took a bowl of porridge, took chopsticks and walked straight to Zhang Ci, and sat down on the cushion next to her desk. She sat down and didn't eat, just looked at Zhang Ci.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ci asked.

"Don't you give me an explanation of what happened last night?" Chen Qiuniang asked calmly.

"You're so smart, I think you know everything." He replied.

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes, and she almost had the urge to jump up and beat this man. However, she still suppressed her inexplicable anger and said, "You know I'm worried, but you let me worry?" No matter how smart I am, I'm just guessing, and I'm going to hear you hear anything with my own ears. What others say, I guess by myself, I can't count, do you know? ”

Zhang Ci looked surprised and said, "I thought you knew, so you don't need to say it." ”

Chen Qiuniang's face darkened, and she closed her eyes and didn't look at him. Zhang Ci immediately whispered: "Okay, I was wrong, in the past, my masters taught me that if I said too much, I would lose." So—"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business." Chen Qiuniang's heart hung all night, and she didn't sleep all night, so she rushed to see this guy in a hurry. He didn't even tell her what happened last night, and her fire was bubbling up.

Zhang Ci immediately said: "Okay, okay, what do you want to know, you ask, I will answer you." ”

"Are you poisoned?" Chen Qiuniang was not polite, and asked directly. She originally thought that this sentence was nothing, but when Zhang Ci heard her ask, his expression was still a little uncomfortable, he pinned his face to the side, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Solved?" Chen Qiuniang asked. To be honest, she is very concerned about this issue in private, although she knows very well that the children of such a big family cannot be anywhere for a long time, because there will be a girl who warms the bed or something around her. Moreover, as the patriarch of the nine major families, he must be familiar with the affairs of men and women.

Zhang Ci nodded, and Chen Qiuniang didn't want to ask directly how to solve it, so she asked euphemistically: "You brought Jing Liang here?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Ci shook his head.

"How do you solve that?" She hesitated, but asked.

When she asked this question, she felt uneasy, afraid of being seen by Zhang Ci, but fortunately, there was a foreshadowing of the previous question, Zhang Ci felt that this question was normal, so he replied directly: "Find the person who gave the medicine to get the antidote." ”

"Ah, which rabbit cub doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and dares to drug you?" Chen Qiuniang was very surprised. In fact, she was surprised by who dared to move Zhang Ci, and this technique was quite subtle.

"Girl, speak politely." At this moment, someone walked in while lifting the curtain. The person who came was thin, with a Chinese face, a mustache, and a blue cloth gown. Looking like that, it should be more than forty, but maybe more than fifty, because he has the curled hair of a Taoist priest on his head.

"Where did the Taoist come from?" Chen Qiuniang asked loudly. Zhang Ci had already stood up and bowed his hand, and said, "Master." ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't, I'm just doing my duty, although I have taught you, I don't have the love of master and apprentice." ”

"But in Youqi's heart, you are my master." Zhang Ci said respectfully.

It turned out to be Zhang Ci's master, Chen Qiuniang hurriedly stood up and said, "It turned out to be the master of the second son." It must be a master, please forgive Su Ying for offending. ”

"Yo, this disciple of Su Qingyuan also knows how to keep etiquette." The old man mentioned her master in a strange way.

"The Taoist chief said this very rudely, scolding the children of people, this is not what everyone is called." Chen Qiuniang retorted.

The old man pursed his lips and grimaced at her, saying, "I know that Su Qingyuan's apprentices are definitely not good birds, but I like this temper quite a lot." ”

Chen Qiuniang couldn't cry or laugh when she said this, and she didn't know how to speak. Zhang Ci saw the old man sitting down, but he still stood there respectfully, and said, "Master, do you have any other instructions for coming this time?" ”

"You are my patriarch, what shall I instruct? You guy, you are getting more and more unpleasant to speak, and you are not happy. With a wave of the old man's sleeves, he turned to Chen Qiuniang and asked, "Miss Su, right?" ”

"Disciple Su Ying." Chen Qiuniang replied respectfully.

"Girl Su, do you like Zhang Ci?" The old man asked this question directly. R1152
