Chapter 222: Xue Rou resigns
"Really? The king has not taken pity on you! Saying that, Xiao Jingcong reached out and gently lifted Yan Zixi's chin, and slowly brought his thin lips up......
"Hmm...... Jing Cong...... No...... It's out there......."
Before Yan Zixi finished speaking, Xiao Jingcong had already blocked Yan Zixi's mouth......
……
These days, I have been unable to sleep well because of the poisoning case of Concubine Shu, and I can finally rest well and take a breather, but I don't want to have another incident this morning.
Yan Zixi was taking a nap in the room, and just opened the window, but noticed a nimble woman running into the corridor in front of her like a ghost, not knowing what she wanted to do.
Looking at the woman's back, it seems that it is the Su Xuerou that Xiao Jingcong brought home.
These days have been entangled in everything, but Yan Zixi has forgotten about this deep woman in the city.
What does she want to do secretly?
Thinking of this, Yan Zixi quietly followed, wanting to see what that Su Xuerou wanted to dare.
Yan Zixi's footsteps were very light, for fear of being discovered by that Su Xuerou, she noticed that Su Xuerou came to the door of the study, as if she was going to see Xiao Jingcong.
And she still had a bowl of soup in her hand, and after quietly pouring a packet of powder into it, she knocked on the door of the study.
"Okay, you Su Xuerou, you actually want to poison Jing Cong?!"
Yan Zixi was so angry that she trembled, and after Su Xuerou entered, Yan Zixi also chased after her.
……
After entering the door, Su Xuerou took the decoction over, squinted and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, thank you for taking care of the people in every way these days, in order to repay the kindness of the prince, the people made a bowl of ginseng pill soup for the prince, and specially came to make up for you Wang Ye Xiao." ”
Xiao Jingcong was slightly stunned, glanced at Su Xuerou, and then turned her gaze to the bowl of ginseng pill soup in her hand, and replied with a smile: "Miss Xuerou, why are you embarrassed to let you cook?" ”
"It's okay, Lord Xiao, you have a lot of opportunities, the folk girl can't do anything, and you should make a bowl of soup and medicine for you, don't be tired." Saying that, Su Xuerou walked over with the bowl of soup and sent it to Xiao Jingcong.
Smelling the pungent aroma, Xiao Jingcong suddenly had an appetite.
I have to say that this Su Xuerou's cooking skills are nothing to say, I don't know how much better it is than my own Xi'er...... Phew, Xiao Jingcong, Xiao Jingcong, how can you have such an idea?
Xiao Jingcong shook her head, and then said to Su Xuerou: "Miss Xuerou, since this is the case, then the king will not say thank you." At this moment, Xiao Jingcong was thinking about how to get Su Xuerou away, in case she was seen by Xi'er, she would have to be misunderstood.
Originally, the matter of this flood was solved, and Xiao Jingcong planned to send Su Xuerou away, but she didn't expect that she had encountered so many things in the past few days, and she forgot about her for a while.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcong opened her mouth again and said, "Miss Xuerou, just put down the decoction, and I will drink it later." ”
"Okay......" Su Xuerou nodded, and then put the bowl of drugged ginseng pill soup on the table, and stood aside.
Xiao Jingcong raised her head, and saw Su Xuerou standing on the side, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help asking, "Miss Xuerou, do you have anything else?" ”
Su Xuerou smiled lightly, revealing the dimples on her face, "Back to the prince, Xuerou has been living in the General's Mansion for many days, and there are many disturbances, and today the people's daughter wants to resign to the prince." ”
"Resign!?" Hearing this, Xiao Jingcong put down the scroll in his hand, and asked strangely: "What's the matter, Miss Xuerou, are you leaving the General's Mansion?" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, the folk girl has been living in the General's Mansion for many days, and it's time to leave."
"Why? Isn't your home ruined, and you have no other place to live, so why don't you stay longer? The reason why Xiao Jingcong said this was actually because she didn't feel at ease and let Su Xuerou leave like this.
Su Xuerou has a close relationship with Bei Liang, and it is likely that she is a secret agent of Bei Liang, Xiao Jingcong will be safer if she keeps her by her side, and Xiao Jingcong can also take precautions in time if something happens.
So when Xiao Jingcong heard that Su Xuerou was leaving, he deliberately kept it.
However, Su Xuerou seemed to have made up her mind, declined Xiao Jingcong's kindness, and insisted on leaving.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingcong didn't say much, since she wanted to leave, let her go, and send someone to secretly keep an eye on her whereabouts in the future. Xiao Jingcong nodded, and said reluctantly: "Okay, since Miss Xuerou has made up her mind, then the king can't keep it." In this case, the king will ask the bookkeeper to withdraw some silver taels from you, so that the snow lady can go out and have a good place. ”
When Su Xuerou heard this, she immediately knelt in front of Xiao Jingcong and thanked her for her kindness, "In this way, the people's girl will thank Xiao Wang Ye for her kindness!" ”
"No need to be polite, get up quickly." Xiao Jingcong said lightly, motioning for Su Xuerou to get up and excuse herself.
Su Xuerou's eyes rolled slightly, and then she said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, the folk girl is about to leave, before leaving, I hope to be able to see the prince drink this bowl of ginseng pill soup made by the folk girl, so that the folk girl will not have any regrets...... "Love me."
"Oh, is it? Well, this king will satisfy you. Xiao Jingcong chuckled, picked up the bowl of ginseng pill soup on the table and prepared to drink it.
And these words were all heard by Yan Zixi outside the door, Yan Zixi angrily pushed open the door and stopped Xiao Jingcong.
"Jingcong, don't drink it, there's something wrong with that soup!"
Su Xuerou didn't expect Yan Zixi to suddenly break in, and she was so frightened that she panicked.
And Xiao Jingcong frowned slightly, and asked in surprise, "Xi'er, when did you come?" ”
"Jing Cong, when is it, you still care when I came...... Yan Zixi walked over angrily, pointed at Su Xuerou and said to Xiao Jingcong: "Jing Cong, I just saw Su Xuerou poisoned this soup!" ”
"What, there is such a thing?!" Xiao Jingcong's face was gloomy, and she turned her head to look at Su Xuerou, "Miss Xuerou, what's going on, can you explain?" ”
When Su Xuerou heard Xiao Jingcong's questioning, she reacted, and immediately knelt on the ground again, crying: "Wronged, Lord Xiao, even if the people have the courage to poison this soup, poison you, the prince!" The prince is as kind to me as a mountain, if there is no prince, the people would have died in that flood a long time ago, how can I take revenge and harm the prince?! ”
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say! But you can't hide it from me! Yan Zixi gritted her teeth and gritted her teeth angrily.
She took out a silver needle from the needle bag, inserted it into the bowl of ginseng ball soup, and then pulled out the silver needle again and looked at it.
However, the strange thing is that the silver needle did not turn black as Yan Zixi expected......
"This ...... What's going on? Could it be that this Su Xuerou is using a rare poison, and the silver needle can't be detected? ”
Yan Zixi was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't know how to explain it. There was no way, so she had to pick up the bowl of ginseng pill soup and smell it carefully.
There is only the unique faint medicinal fragrance of ginseng pills, and there is no other special taste.
"No, isn't this poison still colorless and odorless?" Yan Zixi panicked all of a sudden, has Su Xuerou already calculated?
Could it be that even being seen by herself was prepared by this Su Xuerou in advance, the purpose was to make Xiao Jingcong lose her trust in herself?
Su Xuerou was still sobbing there, but Xiao Jingcong's face became serious, "Xi'er, what's wrong?" Why aren't your silver needles discolored? ”
"Jingcong, I can't explain this for a while, I don't know why this is happening...... But I just saw Su Xuerou drugged the soup outside the house......"
Xiao Jingcong walked up to Su Xuerou, helped her up, and after comforting her softly, she turned to Yan Zixi and said, "Okay, Xi'er, don't mess around." Miss Xuerou came to say goodbye to me today, and made ginseng pill soup for her husband to thank me for taking care of him these days, don't get me wrong......"
"Misunderstanding?! How could I be mistaken? Jingcong, I'm good for you, why don't you believe me? ”
Yan Zixi's chest rose and fell in anger, she didn't expect Xiao Jingcong to disbelieve her. Is it true that everything that has been said before is deceitful? Exposed to nature so quickly?
"Okay, Xi'er, don't be willful anymore!"
"I'm willful, Xiao Jingcong, you big idiot, I don't know why I was poisoned by others! Okay, if you don't believe me, I'll drink it for you now! Saying that, Yan Zixi picked up the bowl of ginseng pill soup on the table and drank it.
Yan Zixi drank the ginseng pill soup in one go, Xiao Jingcong was stunned, and hurriedly snatched the soup bowl from Yan Zixi's hand, but it was too late.
Yan Zixi had already finished drinking the bowl of ginseng pill soup.
"Xi'er, you...... You okay? ”
After Yan Zixi drank this bowl of decoction, she didn't immediately feel anything abnormal.
Could it really be that I made a mistake? Su Xuerou didn't put medicine in the soup? Is it that you spend the belly of other gentlemen with the heart of a villain?
Xiao Jingcong saw that Yan Zixi was fine, so she was relieved.
Yan Zixi turned around and asked Su Xuerou to get up, "Okay, it's this princess who misunderstood you, it's none of your business here, you can go." ”
"Princess Xie!"
Su Xue thanked her softly, glanced at Xiao Jingcong again, and then slowly retreated.
Neither Xiao Jingcong nor Yan Zixi noticed that Su Xuerou showed a trace of hatred on her face before she went out.
……
After Su Xuerou left, Xiao Jingcong immediately got up and came to Yan Zixi's side, and asked with a concerned face: "Xi'er, are you really okay?" ”
