There were several candlesticks burning in the room, and the bright candlelight illuminated the room.

Xu Jinyu sat on the chair and silently stared at the rue in front of her. Ruexiang's slightly bland face was still unremarkable, her expression was respectful, and she stood with her hands down. I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

If Chen Yuanzhao hadn't taken the initiative to order Zhou Yong to identify himself, she would never have thought that Rue Xiang was the eyeliner sent by Chen Yuanzhao anyway

The frustration of being deceived, the shame of not knowing people, and the faint anger of being betrayed, all kinds of complicated feelings are intertwined. Xu Jinyu's heart fluctuated, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Ruxiang," Xu Jinyu finally broke the silence: "Zhou Yong pretended to be a gardener, you pretended to be a cook, and the two of you infiltrated the Hou Mansion together to monitor my every move!" ”

Ruexiang's calm face finally had a hint of hesitation, and quickly responded: "Yes!" However, I am really good at cooking, and I used to be a cook in the house of Lord Luo of Honglu Temple."

"In other words, you used to do eyeliner in the Luo family?" Xu Jinyu interjected coldly.

Rue Xiang nodded awkwardly: "Yes, I have been in the Luo family for four years." After a pause, he said: "Actually, it's not just the general who has planted eyeliner in the capital's mansions, but there are not a few people who do it secretly. I hope that Miss won't have a disagreement with the general because of this matter. ”

It's not enough to have a dislike, but it's not very happy in my heart anyway.

Xu Jinyu asked calmly, "What are Zhou Yong and you good at?" ”

Rue Xiang replied without concealment: "Zhou Yong is outstanding and good at concealing and tracking. I usually use my cooking skills to disguise my identity. In fact, what he is best at is making and detoxifying. The two pills that the general ordered to be sent today were made in my free time before. ”

Xu Jinyu: ""

I really didn't expect Rue Xiang to have such a ability!

The anger in Xu Jinyu's heart subsided slightly. I couldn't help but ask, "Are those two pills really as effective as the letter says?" ”

Rue Xiang smiled, and her originally ordinary face suddenly became a little more vivid: "If Miss doesn't believe it, you might as well try it yourself." ”

How do you try this?

Xu Jinyu looked puzzled.

Rue Xiang quickly took out a porcelain bottle from her body, and there were also two pills, one white and one red, in it: "Miss take this red antidote first, and when early summer comes, Miss will secretly pinch the white pill and see the effect." ”

Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed: "Okay." You go pour a glass of water, and I'll take the antidote first. ”

Rue Xiang replied and quickly poured a cup of tea.

Xu Jinyu took a sip of water. He swallowed the red pill and asked, "Is it okay to take it like this?" How long does it take for the antidote to work? ”

"You don't have to wait, just take the antidote." When it comes to the pharmaceutical that she is most proud of, Rue Xiang can't hide her pride: "I made this antidote to zuò." It can solve all the drugs. Just take it beforehand. It is guaranteed that you will not be overwhelmed by any drugs for a day. The white drug is also carefully made by me. Just put it quietly in the palm of your hand and pinch it, it is colorless and tasteless, instantly fascinating people, and it is the most difficult to guard against. The effect of the drug lasts for about two hours, and when you wake up, you will only think that you have accidentally fallen asleep, and there will be no dizziness or discomfort."

Wait a minute. Why is it blurry when you are talking?

Rue soon fainted and fell to the ground.

Xu Jinyu stepped forward with great interest, squatted down and pushed Ruxiang. Rue didn't react.

Xu Jinyu looked at the pill powder in the palm of his hand. He said to himself: "Even Ruexiang, which is the best at detoxification and poisoning, has been fascinated, and the effect of this drug is really good." ”

With such a drug, Xu Zheng's personal safety tomorrow can be regarded as guaranteed

When I came in in early summer, I was startled by Rue Xiang, who was lying unconscious on the ground: "Miss, what's wrong with Ruexiang?" ”

Xu Jinyu smiled leisurely: "It's nothing." It's just that I've been kept in the dark, and I'm not very happy, so I reprimanded her a few words. She fainted with fear from me, and she still hasn't woken up! ”

Early Summer: ""

Miss, is it really good for you to fool the slave like this?

Xu Jinyu looked at Chu Xia's distorted pretty face, and laughed: "Okay, don't ask about the specific situation." You take advantage of the moment to help Rue back into the house. Remember to be careful along the way and try not to attract attention. ”

The biggest advantage of early summer is that he never questioned Xu Jinyu's words, nodded obediently when he heard the words, and then helped Rue Xiang back to the house.

This night, Xu Jinyu, who was most of the troubled, slept very steadily.

The next morning, when Rue Xiang brought breakfast, Xu Jinyu glanced at Rue Xiang and asked with a smile, "How did you sleep last night?" ”

Rue Xiang replied with a smile: "The slave woke up in the middle of the night, and then fell asleep again, and slept very peacefully. ”

I never expected that I was tricked by Xu Jinyu last night

It's no wonder when you think about it. She hid her identity to work beside Xu Jinyu, and secretly transmitted Xu Jinyu's every move back to the general. If it has not been exposed, it is fine, once the identity is revealed, does Xu Jinyu have any reason not to be angry? It's nothing like this little trick.

Rue Xiang was thinking about it, Xu Jinyu's voice sounded: "Yesterday, did Chen Yuanzhao have any other orders besides letting you and Zhou Yong reveal their identities?" ”

Rue Xiang hurriedly gathered her mind and responded: "The general also said that in the future, the slave maid and Zhou Yong will do their best to protect the safety of the young lady." No matter what the young lady commanded, the slave maid and Zhou Yong had to do it. ”

"In other words, you two are now my people, and you have to obey my orders?" Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed slightly, and she took over the conversation unhurriedly.

Rue Xiang was slightly stunned, and quickly responded yes.

Xu Jinyu commanded in a deep voice: "There is a wedding banquet in the mansion at noon today, and there will be many guests coming. You are with me today and early summer. You go and follow Zhou Yong's instructions and let him secretly stay around the eldest brother. Especially pay attention to the prince and the king of Qin, in case there is any change. And immediately he sent a letter and called them to come. No matter what happens, the safety of the eldest brother must come first. ”

Rue Xiang responded without hesitation.

When she received the order from the general yesterday, Rue Xiang was very surprised. Originally, it was here to secretly collect and deliver messages. I didn't think about changing the mission so quickly, it's not hard to guess.

It seems that the general will soon be able to hold the beauty

By noon, the crowd was packed.

In the past, Xu Zheng mostly followed Ji Ze, but today he is the undisputed protagonist. Xu Zheng, who was dressed in a bamboo green Confucian robe, smiled at the corner of his lips and was full of energy, and kept clasping his fists and greeting visitors, and everyone looked at it. I couldn't help but applaud secretly.

What a handsome and outstanding young man!

The Zou family is even more radiant today, listening to the praise and praise of all the female dependents, not to mention how happy they are.

Since the death of her husband. She put all her hopes on Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng lived up to her expectations, and in one fell swoop, he was admitted to understand the yuan, and this glory was even better than his father's.

If she can solve the hidden danger of King Qin as soon as possible, she will have no regrets.

Xu Jinyu followed Zou's side. Laugh and talk to everyone. While secretly paying attention to the movement around him. When she saw the familiar faces at the door, Xu Jinyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Zou's sleeves: "Mother, Mrs. Cao led Sister Cao here." ”

Zou's eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted him personally.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Cao to come to the door today to congratulate her." Zou's attitude was both courteous and enthusiastic: "I also brought Miss Cao over." Zheng'er must be very happy. ”

Mrs. Cao smiled: "The master is Xu Zheng's master, and I am his wife." Today is a wedding banquet to celebrate his entrance examination, and my mother should be here. ”

The attitude is also very kind.

Xu Jinyu's heart moved. There are more than 100 students under the name of Master Cao, and Mrs. Cao will never come to the door to congratulate them one by one. Look like this. Mrs. Cao has a very good impression of Xu Zheng

Cao Ying affectionately took Xu Jinyu's hand and whispered: "Yesterday, Xu Gongzi came to see my father. The porter came to report to me that you had come too. My heart was so happy that I didn't want to wait for you to come. ”

Yesterday, I was originally looking for Cao Ying, who would have thought that Chen Yuanzhao would come out halfway! disturbed a pool of spring water, where did she still have the heart to go to Cao's house again.

Xu Jinyu smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry for Sister Cao." Yesterday, something happened suddenly and delayed time. I'm thinking about going to the house in a few days to apologize! I didn't expect you to come today, I just want to apologize and I can't show sincerity. ”

Cao Ying smiled understandingly: "If something suddenly happens, there is no way to do it, and it's no wonder you." But you'll have to greet me today. If you snub me, I'll be angry. ”

"How can I be lazy with such a distinguished guest as you." Xu Jinyu smiled playfully: "By the way, did you see the eldest brother today?" ”

Speaking of Xu Zheng, a trace of shyness flashed in Cao Ying's eyes, and he quickly returned to normal, and responded generously: "Xu Gongzi has been welcoming guests at the door today, and I saw him when I got out of the carriage." He was very busy today, and he and I didn't have a chance to talk, so we nodded to each other. ”

Soon, Ji Yu also returned.

"Cousin Yu, you are pregnant, you should be in the house to raise the baby with peace of mind, why did you come back on purpose." Xu Jinyu was happy to see Ji Yu again, and she inevitably wanted to say a few words of disgust.

Ji Yu smiled disapprenosingly: "The carriage is spacious and stable, and it doesn't bump at all." I rode all the way back in the carriage, and there was no obstacle to my body. Besides, if my cousin is admitted to Xie Yuan, how can I, as a cousin, not come back to celebrate. Your cousin-in-law also took a day off to accompany me back. ”

Xu Jinyu smiled and quipped: "Since I have my cousin-in-law to protect the flowers all the way, I am completely relieved." ”

"What a flower protector!" Ji Yu blushed and spat Xu Jinyu: "You are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and you are not ashamed to say it." ”

Xu Jinyu laughed softly. There was some inexplicable heaviness in my heart.

If Xu Zheng's plan can succeed, then turning against the Marquis of Weining is also imminent.

Ji Yu returned to the door full of joy at this time, after tonight, it is really difficult to predict what will become between her and herself.

Ji Yu didn't know what Xu Jinyu was full of, her eyes swept away, and she asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, why didn't she come out to greet the guests on such an important day?" ”

Xu Jinyu lowered her voice and responded: "My cousin-in-law's body can't be covered anymore, and I can't come out to see people at will, so I can only call myself sick and recuperate."

Counting the days, Gu Caiping's pregnancy has passed for three months, and she is gradually showing her pregnancy.

Today, people come and go in the house, where does Gu Caiping have the courage to show his face.

Ji Yu sighed lightly in a complicated mood and quickly opened the topic

Until noon, when the banquet began, King Qin still did not show up, but sent someone to say it. King Qin was left in the palace by Concubine Ji Xian for lunch, and he couldn't come at noon.

Ji Ze smiled and said to the visitor: "Your Highness can't come in person at noon, if you have free time in the evening, it doesn't hurt to come again." When the time comes, my cousin and I will prepare delicious food and wine, and wait for the bed. ”

Speaking of sweeping the couch, Ji Ze's eyes flashed, and his smile was meaningful.

Xu Zheng sneered in his heart.

Why can't you come at noon and come at night, this is obviously a plan that Ji Ze and King Qin have discussed before.

There are many guests at noon, and it is inconvenient to do things with your feet. In the evening, King Qin came alone, and only he and Ji Ze were the only two men in the mansion who could accompany King Qin to drink. In this way, it is much easier to do some dirty hands and feet in secret.

"Cousin, what do you think?" Ji Ze looked at it with a smile.

Xu Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he responded with a smile: "I am already flattered that His Highness is willing to come in person." A qiē but arranged by the son of the world. ”

Ji Ze nodded happily.

There is no need to elaborate on how lively the noon banquet was for the time being. Xu Zheng was overwhelmed by the wine, and after the banquet, he sent the guests out and went back to Yinyan Pavilion to rest.

Towards evening, Xu Zheng woke up.

Xu Jinyu pushed the door and walked in, ordered Chu Xia to stay outside the door, and then whispered to Xu Zheng: "Big brother, just now Ji Ze ordered someone to say, King Qin has already arrived in the mansion." Now it's in the study of the shallow cloud house. Let you go now. ”

Xu Zheng snorted.

Although it was planned before, when it came to the end, a heart began to be uneasy again. Xu Jinyu asked in a low voice, "Big brother, you take the antidote first and then go." ”

Xu Zheng saw that she looked nervous, smiled and comforted: "Okay, I'll listen to you, take the antidote now." ”

Xu Jinyu personally went to pour the tea, and watched Xu Zheng take the red antidote with his own eyes, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Zheng glanced at Xu Jinyu with pity, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about it, I will deal with it carefully." ”

Xu Jinyu's nose was slightly sour, as if she saw the weak and thin young man in her previous life and said to her, "Sister, don't worry, Ji Ze will marry you."

"Big brother, you must be safe and sound." Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed with water, and her voice choked unconsciously.

Xu Zheng nodded cautiously, touched her hand, and left. (To be continued......)
