Chapter 217: A Night in the Study
Yan Zixi pursed her lips and smiled, and immediately wiped off the toxins on the silver needle, and explained to Xiaomei: "It's very simple, because the other party is smearing poison on the rim of this teacup, so only when the tea is brewed into the teacup, those toxins will be dissolved in the tea, it is really a good means, it is so thoughtful!" ”
Because a character of Yan Zixi's status, whether it is the food he eats or the tea he drinks, before he is sent in, there will be a special maid to try the poison, and if the food or water is poisonous, he can find it on the spot. But if the poison is placed on the wall of the cup, then it will usually be fooled.
If Yan Zixi was not a doctor, if Yan Zixi didn't have an excellent memory and knew everything she had placed, then she might have been poisoned by this cup of tea just now.
"What a good idea!"
Yan Zixi couldn't help but praise in her mouth, and after hearing Yan Zixi's explanation, Xiaomei, the maid on the side, changed her face greatly, and she said anxiously there.
"Princess, it's all this time, do you still have the heart to praise the murderer who poisoned him?! You almost ...... just now Ah......h No, no, no...... With the talent of the princess, it is absolutely impossible to be poisoned...... But even so, the princess can't take it lightly......"
Xiao Mei thought for a moment, and then asked Yan Zixi: "Princess, do you want to report this matter to Prince Xiao and let Prince Xiao send someone to find out?!" Xiaomei is still very worried about Yan Zixi's safety, if the murderer is not found, there is no guarantee that people will come to poison Yan Zixi again in the future.
After all, if you don't succeed once, there will be a second and a third time...... Yan Zixi can't be completely prepared all the time, and there will always be times when she is negligent, once she is negligent, I am afraid that she will lose her life. Therefore, if the murderer is not found out for a day, Xiaomei's hanging heart will not be able to fall for a day.
After listening to Xiaomei's suggestion, Yan Zixi also hesitated there.
She also wanted to tell Xiao Jingcong so that he could find out the murderer who wanted to poison her behind the scenes. But after thinking about it, Xiao Jingcong is busy with Concubine Shu's case at the moment, where is there extra time to investigate this murderer. What's more, Xiao Jingcong may not be able to find out anything, if the murderer is Mrs. Xiao, what should she do? Wouldn't it make Xiao Jingcong in a dilemma when the time comes, and he won't be able to get off the stage?
After thinking about it, Yan Zixi still made a prudent decision, "Xiaomei, forget it, don't tell Jing Cong about this matter for the time being, he is still investigating the case in the palace, and he has no energy to be distracted, just let the princess investigate it herself." Do you remember? ”
In fact, Yan Zixi's other intention is to see who wants to poison herself, and wants to find out that person with her own hands!
When Xiaomei heard this, she nodded a little tangled, looking like she wanted to say something.
Yan Zixi saw it, and said with a smile: "Xiaomei, if you have anything to say, just say it, although we are the master and servant, but since the first day you followed me, I have always regarded you as my sister, so there is no need to be formal, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Hearing Yan Zixi say this, Xiaomei clenched her fists, and then she expressed her worries.
"Princess, the slave knows that you don't want to annoy the prince by doing this, but you are always so wronged, and the prince is busy with affairs, and it is impossible to take care of you, in case the prince marries other concubines in the future, I am afraid it will be ......" Xiaomei did not finish speaking, but smart people should understand what she wants to say next.
Yan Zixi heard Xiaomei's words, her face changed slightly, to be honest, Yan Zixi trusted Xiao Jingcong very much, but she couldn't guarantee that Xiao Jingcong would change her mind in the future. What if Xiao Jingcong really changes her mind, and then she has any grievances, and Xiao Jingcong sits idly by, what is good?
Yan Zixi didn't dare to think about it.
If that day really comes, maybe it's time for Yan Zixi to let go completely and leave completely.
Yan Zixi let out a long sigh and let Xiaomei go down first, she wanted to be alone and quiet.
Xiaomei bit her lip lightly, and wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back, bowed, and left the bedroom.
That night, Xiao Jingcong came back late, and then did not return to the bedroom to sleep with Yan Zixi, but entered the study alone and did not come out for a long time.
Yan Zixi was lying on the bed alone, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, I don't know how Xiao Jingcong is now, is she asleep in the study?
"Won't Jing Cong go back to the room at night? Did he bring a blanket? What should I do if I catch a cold? ”
Yan Zixi thought about it, and finally couldn't help but get up from the bed, picked up a blanket, walked out of the bedroom, and went straight to the study.
……
When she came to the door of the study, Yan Zixi noticed that the candlelight in the study was still on, presumably Xiao Jingcong should not have gone to bed yet.
She tried knocking on the door of the study, "Knock knock......
After a while, I heard Xiao Jingcong's familiar voice from the study.
"Come in!"
After getting Xiao Jingcong's permission, Yan Zixi pushed the door and walked into the study.
After entering, Yan Zixi saw that Xiao Jingcong was sitting at the desk looking at some letters, she walked over and hugged the blanket in front of Xiao Jingcong. 56
Xiao Jingcong saw that it was Yan Zixi, so she hurriedly put down the letter in her hand, got up and took the blanket in Yan Zixi's hand, and said angrily: "Xi'er, why did you run to the study when you didn't sleep so late?" ”
"Jingcong, I see that you haven't gone back to your room to rest for a long time, so I can't rest assured that you can't stop you. I'm afraid you'll fall asleep in the study, so I'll bring you a blanket. ”
"You stupid girl!" Xiao Jingcong shook his head, but his face was already filled with a warm smile, presumably his heart was also warmed by Yan Zixi's actions.
"Jingcong, it's late at night, you can quickly put on the blanket." Yan Zixi saw that Xiao Jingcong took the blanket but didn't put it on immediately, so she kindly reminded her again.
Xiao Jingcong was very obedient and put on the blanket sent by Yan Zixi, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Xi'er, it's good to have you!"
"I hate it, Jingcong, how can you talk like that?" When Yan Zixi heard this, her pretty face turned red as soon as she "swished".
Xiao Jingcong didn't care, "What, what the husband says is from the heart, such a good Xi'er, can't you let the husband boast?" ”
When Yan Zixi heard this, her heart was also happy, but remembering what Xiaomei had said to her during the day, Yan Zixi soon frowned again.
Xiao Jingcong saw Yan Zixi's eyebrows twisted together, thinking that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?" Why are you suddenly unhappy, did you say something wrong for your husband? ”
"Oh, no, no, no...... Jingcong, it has nothing to do with you, it's me who ...... myself" Yan Zixi wanted to speak and stopped, and she didn't know how to tell Xiao Jingcong.
Xiao Jingcong also noticed that Yan Zixi was a little strange, so she got up and walked over, took Yan Zixi into her arms, and the two walked to the windowsill together, looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky, Xiao Jingcong muttered: "Xi'er, are you worried about the investigation of the case?" You can rest assured, the husband will definitely find out the real culprit and return the innocence of our Zhenguo General's Mansion...... If ......"
After a slight pause, Xiao Jingcong seemed to have thought of something, sighed lightly, and continued in his mouth: "If the real culprit is really not found in the end, the emperor will blame it, and the husband will bear it with all his might, and he will definitely not let Xi'er you suffer any harm!" ”
When Xiao Jingcong said this, he was categorical, as if he had made up his mind.
"No, Jingcong...... You must not say that......" Yan Zixi hurriedly explained: "Jingcong, promise me, if you don't find the real culprit in the end and are punished by the emperor, please let me accompany you, okay?" How can I bear to watch you be punished alone? I don't want ...... I'm going to be with you! Even if you go to prison together and are sent to the army together, I won't be separated from you! ”
Yan Zixi's eyes became hazy with tears as she spoke.
Xiao Jingcong couldn't bear to look at Yu Xin, raised her hand to gently wipe the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes for Yan Zixi, and comforted softly in her mouth: "Xi'er, don't worry, your husband won't let such a thing happen, you can rest assured, you can believe me!" ”
"Well, Jingcong, I believe in you! From the very beginning, I believed in you! ”
Yan Zixi heard Xiao Jingcong say this, where did she still have the courage to question her again? She immersed the questions that Xiaomei had asked during the day in her heart and didn't say it.
Because Yan Zixi has already gotten the answer, even if she doesn't ask, Yan Zixi knows Xiao Jingcong's mind very well in her heart.
All she has to do is to believe in Xiao Jingcong and believe in his husband.
No matter what happens in the future, Yan Zixi believes that Xiao Jingcong is still the same Xiao Jingcong, the husband who loves her deeply!
"Xi'er, with your words as a husband, I am content. The husband will not let you down! Xiao Jingcong made a promise to Yan Zixi.
He is a man who does not make promises easily, but once he makes a promise, even if he gives up his life, he will fulfill it. Xiao Jingcong is such a man, and it is precisely because of this that Yan Zixi can't extricate herself from Xiao Jingcong, who loves her so much.
This kind of innate manly charm simply makes Yan Zixi irresistible.
Under Xiao Jingcong's doting gaze, Yan Zixi seemed to be drunk, and soon her cheeks were red and she fell drunk into Xiao Jingcong's arms.
Xiao Jingcong gently leaned her lips over and sucked greedily...... In an instant, a fragrant fragrance entered the nose......
……
The next day, Yan Zixi woke up vaguely from her sleep, only to feel as if her body was about to fall apart.
She opened her eyes and found that she was lying on the rattan chair in the study, while Xiao Jingcong was lying on the desk, still asleep.
"Oh my God, Jing Cong and I shouldn't have spent the night in the study last night, right?"
