"If the young general knows that the slave and maid have been kicked out by you, she will definitely punish the slave and maid severely!"

"Oh, Jing Cong won't punish you...... You get up and speak first, okay? ”

Yan Zixi saw that the maid had been kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to herself, so she was really upset, so she quickly asked her to get up and speak.

But the maid shook her head like a rattle, "Master, if you insist on driving the slave and maid away, the slave and maid will always kneel here!" ”

"This ......"

Yan Zixi was a little speechless, the ancients had a strict hierarchy, and these subordinates were usually the most statusless type.

If he drove her away today, maybe she would be swept away by the General's Mansion tomorrow, and it would not be impossible for her to starve to death on the streets of the capital by then.

Yan Zixi thought about it again and again, and could only agree for the time being.

"Okay, okay, I won't drive you away, you get up and answer first."

When the maid heard that Yan Zixi didn't drive her away, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to her a few more times, and then stood up.

But he kept bowing and didn't dare to look up.

"That...... What's your name? ”

"If you go back to your master, call me Xiaomei."

"Xiaomei, then you can stay by my side in the future, but you don't have to be so polite, how old am I older than you, just treat me as a sister."

Xiaomei immediately shook her head when she heard this, and said honestly: "Xiao...... Xiaomei doesn't dare! ”

"What dare you dare! I tell you, this is my command, do you listen to it? Yan Zixi directly used this master's order to say to Xiaomei.

"Since it is the master's order, of course Xiaomei has to listen."

"Okay, in the future, you won't be called by the master, when there are no outsiders, you can call me Sister Zixi." Yan Zixi said righteously.

Xiaomei couldn't believe it, and her mouth was still very scared, "Xiaomei didn't dare to ......"

"Why, you don't even listen to my orders?"

"No, no......" Seeing this, Xiaomei bit her lip, and then called softly: "Zixi...... Sister ......"

"Hey, isn't that the end of it?"

Yan Zixi laughed, and Xiaomei also laughed along.

At night, Xiaomei stayed in the room to take care of Yan Zixi, and the two of them got along very well, as if they had endless words.

It was noon the next day, and an uninvited guest broke in.

……

Yan Zixi was resting in the room, Xiaomei was guarding the door, and suddenly saw the county lord of Qianqian coming over with something.

Xiaomei saw the county lord of Qianqian, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The slave has seen His Royal Highness the county lord, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

"Alright, let's get flat. Let me ask you, is Yan Zixi in there? Murong Qianqian asked in a cold voice.

Xiaomei stood up and said truthfully, "Yes, Sister Zixi...... Oh no, the master is resting in the house. ”

"Sister Zixi...... Hmph, that dead girl is quite good at buying people's hearts......"

Murong Qianqian snorted coldly, and then spoke again: "This county lord heard that your master treated the emperor yesterday and was tired, the county lord I specially boiled some chicken soup and sent it over to make up for her, you open the door!" ”

"This ......" Xiaomei stood in place, her face showing embarrassment.

"What's wrong? Still not open? Murong Qianqian saw Xiaomei standing there, without moving, and asked suspiciously.

Xiaomei hurriedly replied: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness the county lord, my master has specially explained, without her orders, she will not see anyone." Please also ...... Please go back to His Royal Highness the county lord......"

"What?! Nobody?! Yan Zixi is so capable! This hasn't married into the general's mansion and become a princess, so he has put up a shelf against the lord of the county? I'd like to see who gave him this power! ”

Saying that Murong Qianqian was about to push the door in, Xiaomei blocked the front of the door with a footstep, opened her hands, and stopped Murong Qianqian.

When Murong Qianqian saw that a little maid dared to block her way, she immediately became furious and scolded angrily.

"Presumptuous! You're just a maid and slave, and you're in my way! It's the other way around! You...... Get out of the way! ”

Xiaomei gritted her teeth and still shook her head, "Please forgive His Royal Highness the county lord!" Slaves and maids are only doing what they are told......"

"Smack!!

Before Xiaomei finished speaking, Murong Qianqian slapped her directly in the face.

Xiaomei, who immediately fanned herself, was dizzy, and blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Yan Zixi, who was resting in the house, heard the movement outside the door, got up and got out of bed, and walked out with her clothes on.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Murong Qianqian slapping Xiaomei, and even grabbed Murong Qianqian's hand.

"Your Royal Highness, you are so majestic, you actually beat people in the General's Mansion?"

After speaking, Yan Zixi hurriedly helped Xiaomei up, and seeing that the corners of Xiaomei's mouth were already bleeding, Yan Zixi frowned and asked with concern: "Xiaomei, how are you, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Master, the slave is fine...... Her Royal Highness the County Lord, she ......"

"Don't say it, I know everything, you go to the pharmacy to apply some medicine first."

"Yes, master."

Xiaomei replied respectfully, then retired and left.

After Xiaomei left, Yan Zixi shifted her gaze to Murong Qianqian.

"Your Royal Highness, are you looking for me?"

Murong Qianqian forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and a sneer squeezed out of her face.

"Yes, Sister Zixi, yesterday you treated the emperor and tired your body, I personally boiled some chicken soup for you to drink, so that you can replenish your body and recover your vitality."

"Your Royal Highness, I appreciate your kindness, but Zixi has never drunk these greasy things, so you better take it back!" Yan Zixi didn't give Murong Qianqian a good look, and directly rejected her.

When Murong Qianqian heard this, the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she still maintained this elegance and calmness, and her face was still full of smiles.

"Sister Zixi, I've been staying up for a long time, sister, don't let me down!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, I can't afford your thoughts, please go back!"

"Yan Zixi, don't toast or eat!" Murong Qianqian's face changed slightly, because she was too angry, she could hardly suppress the anger in her heart, and her tone of voice also changed slightly.

Yan Zixi was about to answer, but Xiao Jingcong in the distance saw this scene and hurriedly walked over and blocked in front of Yan Zixi.

"Qianqian, why are you here?"

Xiao Jingcong looked at Murong Qianqian and asked coldly.

"Brother Jingcong, you're just in time! Qianqian knew that Sister Zixi had worked hard for the emperor to treat her illness yesterday, so she made chicken soup and sent it to her, who knew that Sister Zixi didn't understand my mind and wanted to drive me away. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jingcong turned his head to look at Yan Zixi again, and Yan Zixi also replied: "Jingcong, I don't want to drink chicken soup, you can let His Royal Highness the County Lord bring it back." ”

"Oh, Sister Zixi, how can there be any reason to bring this chicken soup back? If you don't drink it, won't it be in vain on my hard work? ”

Murong Qianqian said as she took out the bowl of chicken soup from the food box and brought it to Yan Zixi.

"Sister Zixi, I've sent it to you, don't you drink it yet?"

The implication of Murong Qianqian's words is that if she doesn't drink it today, she won't take her, the county lord, in her eyes.

When Yan Zixi was hesitating and didn't know what to do, Xiao Jingcong suddenly took over the bowl of chicken soup in Murong Qianqian's hand for her, and drank it all the time.

Murong Qianqian saw that Xiao Jingcong had drunk all the chicken soup, and the whole person was stunned, and she was stunned in place.

"Alright, you're done, and you're good to go."

Xiao Jingcong returned the bowl, but Murong Qianqian didn't dare to take it.

"Qianqian, are you alright? Why is your face so ugly? Xiao Jingcong saw that there seemed to be something wrong with Murong Qianqian, and asked strangely.

Hearing Xiao Jingcong calling herself, Murong Qianqian reacted.

She stretched out her trembling hands and took back the bowl from Xiao Jingcong's hand, then raised her head again and asked with a look of horror, "Brother Jingcong...... You...... Are you okay? ”

"What can I do? Okay, you go back quickly, Zixi has to rest. ”

"That'...... That Qianqian retired first......"

Murong Qianqian also left the General's Mansion, and as soon as she left the General's Mansion, she got into the carriage in a panic and instructed the guard Ah Qi.

"Quick! Take me to find the ghost of Qianchou! ”

Ah Qi asked puzzledly: "Your Royal Highness, didn't you just ask Ghost Qianchou for poison?" Why are you going to find him again? ”

"That poison...... I put the poison into the chicken soup, and I wanted to give it to Yan Zixi's cheap girl to drink, but who expected that Brother Jingcong suddenly came, snatched the chicken soup and drank it...... Fast...... Go find the ghost and ask for an antidote! ”

Murong Qianqian also panicked, and cold sweat ran down her forehead.

"But that ghost has never been able to prepare an antidote to his poison...... I'm just afraid ......"

Ah Qi didn't finish his words, and then drove the carriage to the poison doctor Ghost Qianchou.

……

In the General's Palace.

Xiao Jingcong helped Yan Zixi back to the room and asked with a concerned face.

"Zixi, are you alright? Qianqian didn't bully you, did she? ”

"No, with you, she wouldn't dare to bully me......"

"That's good......" Xiao Jingcong was just as he was talking, when a mouthful of blood suddenly spit out from his mouth, and then his eyes went black and he passed out.

Frightened, Yan Zixi panicked, hugged Xiao Jingcong and called a few times, "Jingcong, Jingcong, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yan Zixi immediately put her hand on Xiao Jingcong's pulse and found that his pulse was disturbed, which seemed to be a sign of poisoning.

"Poisoned?"

Yan Zixi helped Xiao Jingcong up with difficulty, carried him to the bed, and then turned out his needle bag, preparing to administer needles and detoxification to Xiao Jingcong.

However, dozens of silver needles were pierced, and Xiao Jingcong still didn't get any better, and he didn't even react at all, which couldn't help but make Yan Zixi even more nervous.

"What kind of poison is this? Why are my silver needles not working? ”
