Chapter 515: Drugged Soup
Jiang Yingxue shook her head, stretched her body, and said, "We are really full, it is better to put it first, and then we can eat it as a supper." ”
Yinglong had to put the food on the table, glanced at the fresh soup that had just been made, and stirred it gently. Seeing this, Jiang Yingxue picked up the small vinegar bottle on the table and secretly hid it beside the bed.
Yinglong soon brought in appetizer soup and preserved fruit, and then had to clean up the mess on the dinner table.
"Miss Yinglong, let's talk to us, it's okay to talk about something interesting, it's really boring here." Jiang Yingxue propped herself up and said lazily.
As soon as she heard this, Yinglong was energetic, walked over with the preserved fruit, and talked about the sad past when she was just sold into the Qinglou, just to make Jiang Yingxue and the others sympathize with her and no longer be defensive against her.
Xiaoqin listened carefully, Jiang Yingxue was thinking that He Gongzi was actually in the Qinglou, so what role was He Fu pretending, and at a glance it was seen that they were women pretending to be men, and this Yinglong was not simple.
Yinglong asked about the time from time to time, and couldn't hide the anxiety in her words, and kept looking at the fresh soup on the table, for fear that she would taste the medicine if it was cold.
Jiang Yingxue knew in her heart, picked up a piece of preserved fruit and put it in her mouth, and said lightly: "I'm a little thirsty." ”
Hearing this, Yinglong hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Childe wants to taste this fresh soup, but it's a must, I'll give each of the two sons a bowl." ”
Xiaoqin couldn't bear to refuse, nodded and looked like she could do it, Jiang Yingxue kicked her lightly, pinched her throat and signaled not to drink, Xiaoqin suddenly remembered.
Yinglong filled two bowls, served them to the two with a smile on his face, and introduced: "This is made by the chef in Yangzhou, the most refreshing and delicious, maybe you will have to come to the bowl after drinking." ”
The two took it, Jiang Yingxue raised her head and asked, "I want to add some vinegar, please bring it to me Miss Yinglong." ”
Xiaoqin also stopped moving, Yinglong was stunned, and when she saw that there was no vinegar bottle on the table, a trace of unhappiness flashed in her eyes, and she turned to them and said, "There is no small vinegar bottle here, I'll go back when I go." He twisted himself around and went out, closing the door lightly.
Jiang Yingxue heard her footsteps getting farther away, and immediately got up and poured Xiaoqin's soup into the flower pot, took out a small vinegar bottle and put it on the small table next to the bed, and instructed: "This Yinglong is very weird, they must want to keep us, and then act when they have the opportunity, don't let your guard down." ”
Xiaoqin realized that something was wrong when she saw her behavior, and said, "Then let's just pretend to be sleepy, and then wait for Liu Gongzi to come." ”
Jiang Yingxue nodded, but she couldn't help worrying about him in her heart, Gongzi He was laid out here, and he was heavily guarded in front of the gate of He Mansion, which must be a trap.
Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Yingxue glanced at Xiaoqin, and the two immediately resumed their original movements and put down the porcelain bowl lightly.
Yinglong couldn't help but be surprised when she saw them finish drinking, walked quickly to them, and asked, "Why did Childe drink it?" Then he realized that his tone was too impulsive, and he smiled and said: "When the slave family came back, the sons drank it, and the slave family brought a small vinegar bottle." ”
Jiang Yingxue saw her pick up the small vinegar bottle and explained: "Trouble Miss Yinglong, just now I found that the small vinegar bottle was on the railing under the table, so I took it and added it, the soup tasted really good." ”
Glancing at the small vinegar bottle at the head of the bed, Yinglong saw that he had settled down, picked up the porcelain bowl and asked, "The slave family knows that Gongzi will like it, so let's have another bowl." ”
Xiaoqin snorted at this time and said, "No, I'm a little tired." ”
Jiang Yingxue moved slightly, held her head and said, "I'm really tired, Miss Yinglong should hurry up and eat, let's go to bed first." ”
Yinglong's body stiffened, put down the porcelain bowl, blessed the body and said: "Then the slave family will retreat first, and the sons will have a good rest." Then I picked up the meal, saw that the soup was indeed missing most of it, and then walked out with confidence.
After she walked out, the two of them suddenly opened their dark eyes and sat up.
Jiang Yingxue leaned into Xiaoqin's ear and told her on the top floor to cover her mouth and prevent her from exclaiming.
Xiaoqin looked surprised, she thought that she could find clues when she came to Hua Yuanlou, but she spent a day here, but she didn't expect to enter the thief's den, and Liu Qingfeng, who was full of martial arts, was missing at this time, and she was very depressed.
The two discussed in a whisper how to escape, if they couldn't wait for Liu Qingfeng, they would take the opportunity to abscond, and after having an idea, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
At night, a gust of wind blew towards Jiang Yingxue, she vaguely remembered closing the window, reacted and immediately got up, and the little qin beside her turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Yingxue was stunned, and saw Liu Qingfeng standing in front of the window, just about to close the window. Seeing Jiang Yingxue wake up and look at him, and was about to speak, Jiang Yingxue immediately panicked and booed.
Liu Qingfeng waved his hand and said lazily: "There are just three of us here, and there is no one in the pavilion." ”
She remembered that He Gongzi asked Yinglong to look for him late at night, lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, when she saw Liu Qingfeng turn around. Jiang Yingxue was stunned when she saw this, and couldn't help but get annoyed, and asked coldly: "General Liu is a gentleman, otherwise it will inevitably cause misunderstanding among the women in the house." ”
Liu Qingfeng curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Thanks to Miss Jiang's wonderful praise, but I am innocent with that woman, don't ruin people's reputation." ”
Hearing his explanation, Jiang Yingxue snorted coldly, the anger in her heart decreased, got up and dressed, and walked to his side.
Finding that there were blood stains on his body, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on, did the people of He Mansion do anything to you?" ”
Liu Qingfeng saw that she was so anxious, and he didn't explain, so he searched her body. Bowing her head in her ear, she said in a low and magnetic voice: "Miss Jiang is going on like this, but she has to be responsible for me." As he spoke, he grabbed her wrist with an aggrieved expression.
Jiang Yingxue looked up, seeing that he was pretending to be at a loss, with surprise in her eyes, her thin lips pursed lightly, and she tried her best to hold back a smile. Jiang Yingxue immediately broke free, didn't dare to look at him directly, her ears were hot, and she muttered in a low voice: "Just check if you are injured, don't take the opportunity to tease me." ”
Liu Qingfeng hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at her with dark and deep eyes, and said slowly: "There is a Mobei person in He Mansion who found me and took the opportunity to kill him, and blood splashed on his body, Miss Jiang really didn't give me time to explain." ”
As he spoke, he covered his eyes with his hands, pretending to be a little girl who had been taken advantage of, avoiding Jiang Yingxue's gaze, but the corners of his mouth rose, allowing Jiang Yingxue to push him to the side pavilion.
Jiang Yingxue asked solemnly: "You didn't startle the snake, what is the situation in He Fu?" ”
Liu Qingfeng thought of the secret guards who were waiting in the He Mansion, and felt that something was wrong, so he entered through the back door to avoid the secret guards and found the strong man, but he didn't expect He Shangshu to be imprisoned.
He said seriously: "The Mobei people imprisoned He Shangshu, raising a lot of money, and measuring the price with the weapon manufacturer. His voice was a little hoarse, and he sat down slowly, took out his saber and wiped it, with a coldness in his eyes.
Jiang Yingxue told him what happened, and Liu Qingfeng's early return also made her breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why do they want to buy weapons, the Mobei people in the capital have left, and as soon as there is any movement, the emperor will immediately notice it." He sat down in front of him, poured him a cup of tea, and said.
He took a sip, moistened his throat, continued to wipe his sword, and said lightly: "Some people must have hidden identities, and even have married in the capital, and it is not a problem to stay, and the rest should be not far from the city, as for the ....... of the weapons factory."
The ordnance factory is generally in charge of the central government, only a small one in the west of the city has not been taken over for the time being, and it was built by a nearby blacksmith, and many people rely on the ordnance factory to make a living. The weapons are simple and shoddy, and they cannot be used on the battlefield, and the DPRK wants to close it, but the people try their best to stop it, so they can only give up, and the emperor is trying to find a way to deal with it recently.
"He Gongzi is scheduled to negotiate an agreement with the Mobei people, and the detention of us is just to be used as a threat, and it will not hurt us, but the matter of the weapons factory must be investigated, and this matter is not trivial." Jiang Yingxue poured herself a cup of herbal tea, the cold tea flowed into her throat, and the sleepiness in the middle of the night also dissipated a lot, her eyes became brighter and brighter, attracting his attention under the silver glow of the moonlight.
"I'm going out tomorrow, be careful, I'll look for you again in the evening." The sword had been wiped clean, and it was immediately put into its scabbard.
Liu Qingfeng was about to leave with his sword, but he was grabbed by the sleeve, and turned his head to see her bowed, as if she still had something to say. He hooked the corners of his mouth, sat down again, propped up the table and asked lazily: "Miss Jiang, is she reluctant to get up in the bottom, or is she worried about whether she will leave you two behind, don't worry......."
"Where did you go before you returned to the capital, why didn't you tell me." Jiang Yingxue lowered her head and interrupted him, her voice a little choked.
When he returned, he kept silent about falling off the cliff, and felt as if he didn't owe each other. It was more uncomfortable than her struggling to find him at the bottom of the cliff and waiting for him at the border of Mobei, and the shape of a strange road made her trance-like and painful.
Liu Qingfeng's body stiffened, his eyes were stunned, and he felt that he had some involvement with her before the amnesia, and others could vaguely recall it, but she was like a long thorn, deeply rooted in his brain, and it hurt when he remembered it.
