Chapter Seventy-Four: Xiaoguo's Weapon
"What kind of business, it takes so long?" Xiaoguo muttered while flipping the skewers.
Before meeting him, she was afraid that because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, there would be some mustard between the two, but when they met, they felt that she was completely worried, and time did not shorten the distance between them, but increased a sense of intimacy.
Like an old mother worrying about her daughter, she said earnestly: "Xiaoyu, people's hearts are unpredictable, and King Ding is not a good person." Look at him, he is old, he is not married, he pretends to be diligent and hard-working, and he is not close to women. But not long ago, I just came from here, ah, the Queen Mother, who forcibly occupied a female official in the past, and still hasn't given a name to a girl! Pity our queen mother, I can only swallow my anger and cry secretly! ”
She sprinkled a skewer of roasted eggplant with a layer of chili powder and handed it to Li Yi: "Jade, we are so good-looking, we have to avoid the king a little, stay away from him, don't let him worry about it, he will be taken advantage of!" ”
Li Yi saw that her small mouth was closed one by one, and she said that she was so unbearable and suffering.
He didn't even think about it, so he ate a few bites of eggplant.
A stimulating smell rushed from his throat into his stomach, and he secretly used his internal strength to forcibly block it, but it couldn't weaken at all, this feeling of mouth and stomach like it was about to catch fire!
The violent cough woke up Xiaoguo: "Drink the juice!" Sorry I forgot to remind you! ”
After some hectic chaos, he finally came to his senses.
Xiao Guo leaned back with a smile: "Xiaoyu, it turns out that you don't dare to eat spicy!" I used to think that you were perfect and unreal, haha, finally let me catch your weakness! ”
Li Yi: ......
It wasn't until Xiaoguo finally held his stomach to stop laughing, only to find that Li Yi didn't know where to take out a brocade box.
"What's the matter? Have a gift for me? Xiaoguo smiled and surrounded him.
Li Yi unhurriedly opened the brocade box, and the box of silver needles was filled with silver light, which was imprinted into the eyes of the stunned Xiaoguo.
Li Yi used his slender fingers to pinch two of them, and looked up at Xiaoguo with a weird smile.
"You're not going to kill people for a few mouthfuls of chili peppers, are you?" Xiaoguo was so frightened that she took a few steps back, feeling a little messy.
"Come here!" Li Yi hooked his finger at her.
"Jade, we are friends in trouble, although we have seen each other less recently, we will not be born to this point! Quickly put the needle away, my sister looks trembling! Xiaoguo smiled dryly, and took a few steps back, she was afraid of injections when she was a child, and she would faint when she saw the sharp needle.
Li Yi would come to Cining Palace almost every night, and they didn't see each other often, but at that time, Xiaoguo fell asleep early and went to Zhou Gong.
Li Yi saw her with a panicked expression, and suddenly teased her.
The figure flashed, and the others had already arrived in front of Xiaoguo, and with an evil smile, he reached out and struck at her head.
Sure enough, the more perfect a person is, the bigger his temper, and the darling of heaven can't afford to provoke him!
Xiao Guo wailed in his heart, he was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly, and waited for a long time, but the imaginary pain did not come.
She slowly opened her eyes, only to see Li Yi holding the hairpin that had just been given to her, looking at herself with a smile.
It wasn't to prick her with a needle, but to pull out the hosta, and Xiaoguo breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yi held back a smile and raised his hand and said, "Look at it." ”
An orchid was carved at the end of the hosta, and he pressed the petals of the orchid at the same time, pushing the hairpin left and right, only to see a dark groove appear.
"The tips of these silver needles are coated with a layer of medicine, and when you get them, remember to pinch the end of the needle!" As he spoke, he put one of the silver needles into the dark groove, "When you use it, just aim at the person you want to shoot, press the raised point under the flower, and the silver needle will fly out." Each silver needle can be reused ten times, after which it needs to be taken back and re-plated! ”
When Xiaoguo heard this, her eyes lit up: "It's so powerful, let me see!" ”
After being kidnapped by Qin Wuji, she clearly saw her weakness, so this kind of secret weapon was very much in line with her heart.
Li Yi asked her to practice with herself a few times, and when she saw that she had mastered the operation steps, he handed over the whole box of silver needles to her.
"What kind of poison is there? Will it kill someone? Xiaoguo carefully put away the brocade box and said curiously.
"It's just some anesthetic, but it can make you immobile for an hour!" Li Yi explained.
Xiaoguo said happily: "Very good! One hour is enough for me to escape! If you want me to kill someone, it's really stressful! ”
Li Yi smiled secretly: If it is really a poison that can harm people's lives, with your frizzy personality, the possibility of you being hurt is greater than that of the other party!
After that, until dawn, Xiaoguo was happily practicing shooting silver needles repeatedly.
A few days later, Xiaoguo accompanied the Empress Dowager in Fushou Palace, touched a few flower cards, and then went back to the palace to take a nap on the soft couch.
When Bai Ling arrived, she was still asleep.
"Not long ago, Niangniang was still talking about you and Princess Finch! She was overjoyed to know that you were finally back! It's just that the mother has just rested from taking a nap, so the white girl might as well go to the side hall first, eat some pastries, drink flower tea and wait for a while? Bi Tao said respectfully.
Is it a chatter, or is it a calculation?
Bai Ling sneered in her heart, but she smiled slightly: "I'm worried about my mother." There is no need for pastry flower tea, I just passed through the back garden, and saw the magnolia flowers inside, which bloomed a lot. I'll be there, waiting for my mother to wake up! ”
Bi Tao smiled: "It's okay, white girl, please!" ”
The area of the back garden is less than one-tenth of that of the hundred gardens, but the latter is dominated by fruit trees, and the former has far more types of flowers than the latter.
Bai Ling stepped on the petals of a place, slowly walking between the red and willow green.
The purpose of her entering the palace this time was to test Xiaoguo and see if she could get more answers from her.
"Little Fuzi, chase it, it's going there!" Among the flowers not far away, a crisp child's voice came.
Bai Ling turned his head to look, a little eunuch was constantly pounced on the ground with his hands, he didn't know what he wanted to catch, he was bent on success, and he didn't raise his head and staggered all the way.
There was a lotus pond in front of him, and Bai Ling was just about to make a reminder, but it was too late, so he heard a "plop" sound, and the little eunuch had fallen into the lake.
A small yellow figure followed out of the flowers, and he hurried to the lake: "Little Fuzi, you are so stupid!" The cricket couldn't be caught, and it fell into the lake by itself! Don't come up yet! ”
It turned out to be Li Bai, the emperor of Hong Yanguo!
He took a half-day break today because of the emperor's illness, and on the way to Cining Palace to find his mother, he happened to see a rare golden-legged cricket, which had the scene just now.
"The little one should be damned, the emperor atones for his sins!" Xiaofuzi was covered in mud and crawled out of the pond in embarrassment.
"Forget it, I'm waiting for you here, let's go change your clothes!" Xiaobai waved his hand generously, hating that iron could not become a steel road.
Xiao Fuzi thanked the emperor, picked up the path with few people, and trotted away.
"You're going to catch it, but this?" Suddenly, a pleasant female voice sounded behind Xiaobai.
He turned around and saw a beautiful woman dressed in white, looking at him with a smile, holding a golden-legged cricket in her hand.
"Exactly!" Xiaobai's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
He carefully took the cricket, looked up at Bai Ling carefully, and frowned: "Sister, have we seen it before?" ”
Bai Ling also felt that the child in front of her was very familiar, which made her want to get close.
She squatted down: "You are Hong Yan's little emperor?" ”
Xiaobai nodded: "I'm exact, sister, who are you?" ”
"My name is Bai Ling," Bai Ling stroked his soft hair, and his eyes rolled, "I am your mother's friend." ”
"It turns out that you are Aunt Bai Ling!" Xiaobai said in surprise, "I heard from the queen mother and Sister Que that I mentioned you!" ”
"Really?" Bai Ling chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, why didn't you go to the academy to work hard today?" ”
"You are the same as the queen mother, just call me Xiaobai!" Xiaobai cracked his small mouth, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth.
"Okay."
"Today, the emperor is sick, and the emperor is allowed to rest for half a day, hey, ......" Xiao Bai was explaining to this new acquaintance, Aunt Bai Ling, who liked her very much, that she was by no means lazy and absent from class, and the sudden pain in her hand made him stop talking and drop the things in his hand.
It turned out that this golden-legged cricket was not satisfied with being caught, and actually took a rare bite of Xiaobai.
"It bites!" Xiaobai said with tears in his eyes.
Bai Ling hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood beads on his palm.
She took him to the mouth of a well, took some clean water, wiped his wounds, sprinkled some disinfectant powder, and then took out some of the usual gauze from her bosom and bandaged the wounds.
"Does it still hurt?" She asked, pulling up the wide cuffs that were in Xiaobai's way.
Suddenly, her eyes froze, staring closely at Xiaobai's wrist, where there was a red blood mole shaped like a teardrop.
"I'm not in pain, Xiaobai is very brave!" Xiaobai held back his tears, made a complacent appearance, and said with a fork.
Seeing Bai Ling motionless, staring at his blood mole in a daze, Xiao Bai followed Xiao Guo's example and shook his little hand in front of her: "Aunt Bai Ling, what's wrong with you?" ”
Bai Ling came back to her senses, she gently stroked his blood mole with trembling hands, and asked in a trembling voice, "Xiaobai, how old are you this year?" ”
Xiaobai couldn't keep up with the jump in her thoughts, but she still said honestly: "Xiaobai is five years old this year!" ”
Five years old! Is it possible?
Bai Ling picked up his little face and looked at it carefully, his eyebrows and eyes were like the person in a dream, but his mouth and nose were the same as hers!
A big shocking secret hidden in the fog seems to be slowly revealed, and all things can finally be connected into a string with an explanation!
"Your Majesty! Where are you? Xiao Fuzi had changed his clothes, and he came to the same place, but the little emperor was missing.
Bai Ling hurriedly put the handkerchief stained with Xiaobai's blood into her arms, and she pinched Xiaobai's little face dotingly: "Auntie still has something to do, go first, and come to play with you another day!" ”
"Are you going to leave now? Let's go to the queen mother's together, and she knows that you will help me bandage my wounds and will make a lot of delicious food for us! Xiaobai pulled her shirt and said in a milky voice.
Queen mother?
Bai Ling's heart ached, she was ruthless, pulled the placket from his hand, stood up, and smiled softly at him: "Xiao Bai, today's matter is a secret between us, don't tell anyone else, including your queen mother, okay?" ”
Xiaobai's age is the time to take the secret extremely sacred, so as soon as he heard her say this, he immediately became excited, patted his chest and promised: "Okay! Xiaobai is a man of his word and will never say it! ”
Xiao Fuzi's voice is getting closer and closer.
Bai Ling reluctantly, touched his little head again, and said, "Another day, my aunt will come to you again!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the person disappeared in an instant.
Xiaobai, who had his own "little secret", sighed in amazement and turned out from behind the willow tree: "Little Fuzi, I am here!" ”
