Chapter Twenty-Six: Marry My Father

There was no response for a long time, Xue Rui patted and slid down the door, looking very depressed.

Wu Xuan couldn't help but sigh for his master, the crown princess couldn't please her, and Liangdi was gone.

Helpless, Xue Rui, who finally fell asleep in front of Chen Anyi's door, was dragged back to his bedroom by Wu Xuan, but he saw that the bed was empty again in the early morning, and it turned out that Xue Rui went to the east hall at night......

The rumor that the prince had eaten behind closed doors twice in a row spread in the prince's mansion in half a day.

Xue Rui slept comfortably this night, but he woke up a little dizzy. After the lesson of the day before yesterday, Wu Xuan and the prince became more and more inseparable, and at this moment he stood beside Xue Rui's bed, holding a sword and napping.

Xue Rui sat up lightly and didn't want to wake him up, and the door was knocked open with a "click".

"Your Highness, He Mansion Secret Letter."

The sudden arrival of Qi Yan frightened Wu Xuan, Xue Rui frowned, and raised his hand to signal him to come over.

"Wu Xuan, take it apart and see what you said."

Wu Xuan took it and opened the letter neatly, "Gongzi He said that the chronic poison in Lin Juzhong will slowly erode the muscles and veins until the martial arts are exhausted, and the poison is ...... Gold sore medicine from Xue Lingci. ”

"Poison again? Colorless and odorless? He didn't doubt it? Xue Rui chuckled in his heart.

"Lin Ju explained that the medicine was the best medicine given by Xue Ling when he first defected to the crown princess, and said that it should be a good thing, so he kept it with him for ......"

Xue Rui closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "You can let him come back." ”

"My soft-hearted brother, it will become a disaster if you keep the waste chess."

……

Shen Yu woke up from detoxification, and the service of Ruogu Ruoshui and the two of them can be described as meticulous.

I just don't know if there are sequelae, she always has an inexplicable pain somewhere on her body, or there are some more feelings in her heart that can't be traced back to the source - there is pain, happiness......

After listening to her description, Ruogu Ruoshui was even more worried, Shen Yu went to the toilet and Ruoshui had to follow, and the two of them guarded together when they slept, and the two of them tested the poison before eating, so they had to feed her.

In this way, life is quite leisurely, thanks to Xue Rui's brain did not short-circuit this time, and the assassin's matter was not counted on her head again, but this does not mean that she has a better opinion of him, Xue Rui still remembers the whips that Xue Rui beat her and her people!

This morning, Xue Rui sent someone to spread the word that he wanted to let Lin Ju come back, and Shen Wei specially prepared some snacks for him to catch the wind and wash the dust.

"Little Lord, I'm finally back!"

Lin Ju's appearance was as direct as ever, and Shen Yu saw a burly man pounce on her bear with tears in his eyes, and subconsciously covered his chest.

Ruogu consciously stepped forward to stop him, and Lin Ju hugged Ruogu and made him frown.

"Little brother Wakaya, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Uh-huh." Wakaya nodded and stepped aside.

Lin Ju looked at Ruoshui again, and Shen Yu smirked a few times before sitting down.

"It's good to come back, I don't want any of you to be in jail again." Shen Yu sighed and sat down.

"Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't embarrass me." Lin Ju wrapped a mouthful of osmanthus cake in his mouth, and his words were slurred, "Instead, I found several doctors to see the injury." ”

The servants looked at him strangely, Lin Ju was embarrassed to be stared at, patted the crumbs on his hands, rolled up one sleeve to reveal his strong arm, "You see, even the old and new scars on my body have been removed." ”

"Moreover, the son-in-law who interrogated me was about to kneel down and beg me in order to make me confess." Lin Ju is still a little embarrassed.

"Then you recruited it?"

"Recruited...... I don't think it's going to be easy for him. ”

"Hiss......" Shen Yu slapped the top of his head and comforted himself: "That's it, since he let you back, he shouldn't suspect that there is collusion between me and the queen." ”

"You just said that you are a son-in-law? What are his characteristics? ”

"It's easy to talk and it's white." Lin Ju widened his eyes and replied seriously.

"Be more detailed!"

"I heard the prince's attendant call him He Gongzi."

"You ......" Shen wanted to scold and stopped.

"One night, a strange thing happened, Gongzi He sent me a bowl of black chicken soup and was drunk by His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Black chicken soup, who can ......" Shen Yu pondered, and suddenly remembered that on the day when the Prince's Mansion was assassinated, she seemed to have drunk a bowl of black chicken soup.

"No wonder the Prince's Mansion can't find you, it turned out that you were locked up in the Taishi's Mansion." Ruoshui listened to Shen Yu's name and answered.

Ruogu also said: "In this way, the people in the Taishi Mansion are Xue Rui's party, and they are so deeply hidden. ”

"Oh, that's right, they also found out that the gold sore medicine given to me by His Royal Highness King Ling is poisonous, which will make me lose my martial arts."

Lin Ju held a piece of almond crisp in his mouth and took out the small bottle from his arms.

"Xue Ling!?" Shen Yu exclaimed.

"Little master, don't blame the prince, I was angry at first, but I figured it out on the way back, at that time I had just become the little master, and I shot him with an arrow not long ago, so it's understandable that the prince is not at ease."

"He lied to me!" Shen Yu slapped the table, his face full of anger.

Xue Rui, who was practicing his sword in the courtyard on the other side of the Prince's Mansion, also suddenly had a cramping pain in his heart, and had to kneel on the ground with his sword to rest.

Lin Ju was still talking about something, but Shen Yu couldn't listen to it anymore.

The question that Xue Ling avoided in every possible way...... She has never received an answer, there are too many things that have happened these days, she has completely forgotten to sort it out, and she seems to be fascinated, and subconsciously feels that Xue Ling's words are credible.

Lin Ju's words seemed to wake up the dreamer, and as soon as he got along with Xue Ling, he was obedient to her. From sacrificing his life to block arrows, to letting Lin Ju go too easily, to tearing his face with Xue Rui in order to help him escape from the prince's mansion......

How can she let a prince who has never met do this for her.

"It's not you who this prince is marrying, it's the eldest daughter of the general's mansion!" The prince's words sounded in her mind like a thunderbolt, probably this was also Xue Ling's thoughts.

It's more like a conspiracy to gain her trust.

It turned out that she was the one who was in the mountains, and she was the one who was amorous, and after figuring it out, the tea and rice these days suddenly became ironic.

"Ruogu, go to King Ling's Mansion to help me get back the waist pendant and a plum blossom inkstone." Shen Yu stood up with the table and rushed back to the study angrily.

They looked at each other.

After a while, Shen Yu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ruogu.

"If he doesn't pay it back, show him this."

Wakaya put away the paper, turned around and went out the door.

Xue Ling seemed to have expected him to come, and asked Lin Liu to guard at the door, saying that the crown princess sent someone to return the waist pendant.

Ruogu got something but didn't leave, Lin Liu looked him up and down, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"The little master explained, and there is also a plum blossom inkstone." Wakaya replied simply.

"The waist pendant is a misunderstanding, but the inkstone was really given to me by your master, how can there be any reason to get it back?" A tired voice came from behind Lin Liu.

"Lord Wang." Several people saluted and stood still.

"Go back and tell the crown princess what she gave me with her own hands, if you want it, you can get it yourself." After Xue Ling finished speaking, he planned to walk away with his hands behind his back.

"The prince stays."

Wakaya took a step forward, and the nervous hands of several guards in the palace also touched the handle of the knife.

"The little lord said to let you see this." Ruogu handed the paper to Lin Liu, who in turn gave it to Xue Ling.

Xue Ling unfolded the rice paper, his eyes were colorless, but suddenly he seemed to have been hit by something, his eyes widened, and his brows frowned.

A small piece of paper, Xue Ling looked at it over and over again, and at the end, he crumpled the paper into a ball, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and shouted as he walked: "Lin Liu, go get the inkstone!" ”

"Yes!"

Xue Ling's gaffe was something that everyone present didn't expect, and even Ruogu was a little curious about what was written on the paper.

After a short time, Lin Liu returned the inkstone wrapped in silk to Ruogu, and Ruogu flew back to the prince's mansion to resume his life.

Shen Yu locked himself in the study, and did not let Lin Ju and the others follow except for eating.

She needed to be still, she had a lot of things she couldn't figure out.

Xue Ling's unreserved intentions for her, saying that it was to better gain her trust, naturally made sense, but because he was too unreserved, Shen Yu felt that the bet he made was too big.

In the afternoon, Ruoya had already taken back the waist pendant and inkstone, and at this moment they were lying on the table in front of Shen Yu.

Shen Yu picked up the inkstone on the table, looked at it carefully, and finally found the two words on the side, "husband".

"Really." Shen Yu snorted lightly and put down the inkstone again.

"You said that the concubine is still alive, is it true?"

"Who?!"

A question suddenly came from inside the empty house, and Shen Yu was so frightened that he bounced up from the stool.

"It's me, Xue Ling."

Shen Yu was angry, and glanced at Xue Ling with a serious face angrily, "Why are you walking silently??" ”

"Answer me first." Xue Ling stood by the door, his eyes burning.

"Yes, Aunt Qin, is your biological mother, she is still alive, and she is by your side watching you grow up." Shen Yu nodded.

"And where is she now?!"

Xue Ling was a little excited, and took a few steps forward.

"I don't know." Shen Yu shook his head.

Xue Ling's tone was aggressive, "Then how do I know if what you said is true?" ”

I haven't seen him for a few days, and the person in front of him has this gloomy appearance, Shen Yu looked at the deep eye sockets of the visitor, and felt sad for no reason.

"You were injured by an arrow, and the doctors were helpless, it was Aunt Qin's injury that treated you." Shen Yu patted his heart and stopped looking at her.

Xue Ling didn't rush to ask the next sentence, but Shen Yu was looking forward to it.

"Then, you don't want to give me an answer, is it because of this blood relationship?" Xue Ling hesitated, but still spoke.

"It's not." Shen Yu blurted out, and Xue Ling was obviously stunned by her suddenly excited voice.

"You're still pretending to be stupid, are you asking for an answer? You are asking for the power of the General's Palace! ”

"You guys one by one, why don't you marry my father!"

Shen Yu said it in one breath, and he felt more comfortable.

"I ...... Do you already know......" Xue Ling wanted to speak several times and stopped, "I admit that our acquaintance is indeed calculated by me, but I can't control my feelings for you." ”

Xue Ling said, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, which was exactly what Shen Yu fell into his room when he met Aunt Qin.

Shen Yu pursed his lips and replied in his words: "Then how do I know if what you said is true?" ”
