023 One day
Xiao Tan got Mingyue's order and changed the water again. At this moment, she already remembered what Xiao Feng said when she first came to stop Mingyue in fright, and at this time, she couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Lord Xiao, you just said that the water brought by the slave maid is poisonous, what is going on?" The water was fetched from the small kitchen by the slave and maid herself, and it was not passed through anyone's hands, so how could it be poisonous? ”
General Mingyue persuaded Xiao Feng to come and ask Xiao Tan to fetch water to freshen him up. Xiao Feng finally calmed down, and Xiao Tan mentioned this again, which inevitably made Xiao Feng feel uncomfortable, after all, as soon as he came, he bumped into someone who wanted to harm her, and it was strange that his mood was so good. I wanted to wait for Xiao Feng to leave, and then slowly pay attention to the matter, but Xiao Tan blurted out and asked, and Mingyue couldn't help but glare at Xiao Tan if she wanted to stop it.
Xiao Tan was stared at inexplicably and very aggrieved, and when she was reflecting on whether she had said something wrong, she saw Xiao Feng looking at Mingyue with a gloomy and worried face, "Mingyue knows that my sense of smell has been different from ordinary people since I was a child. The water was mixed with a very weak smell but very strong drug, which was ...... I used to smell it when I was a kid—"
He paused, and then chuckled vaguely, "After my father's favorite concubine used the water mixed with this medicine to purify her face, her whole face was rotten the next day, and she has never felt better since." I saw with my own eyes that the favored concubine ruined her appearance, so I have a deep memory of the drug, and I never thought that there were people in the regent palace of Daliang who knew about this and used it to harm you. ”
In the early years, there were a lot of bad things in the Wu'an Hou Mansion, even if he felt embarrassed, he did not shy away from Mingyue.
Xiao Feng said, the expression on his face became more and more nervous and worried, "You are always straightforward, I am afraid that you will see and hear less about such selfish methods." ”
Ordinary means are just that, Mingyue grew up under the immersion of the big dye vat in the palace, and she is famous for her hardness and strength, and she will be repaid, Xiao Feng believes that ordinary women will not be able to get any benefits in her hands. But with such an unpreventable poisoning attempt like today, Xiao Feng was naturally worried.
Thinking that if he hadn't been in a hurry today, Mingyue would have suffered a big crime, Xiao Feng even tightened his voice, "Then the regent shows that he loves you very much, there are so many women in this mansion, and I am afraid that all these people serving in your yard will not be able to believe it, how can people rest assured?" ”
If the man really loves her, how can he let the women in the house bully her and harm her?
She is trapped here, only a little Tan is credible by her side, such a difficult situation, but he can't help her at all, how can he not blame himself in pain? He looked at Mingyue, the pain in his eyes was gradually replaced by firmness, he can't protect her and love her now, it doesn't mean that he can't protect her and love her again in his life!
He will work hard, try to make himself stronger, try to make Xia Guo stronger, so strong that he no longer needs to attach himself to anyone. Only the strong have the right to speak and the right to protect her!
Mingyue didn't notice the change in his expression, and only smiled faintly: "I was too careless this time, don't worry, there will be no next time." ”
She still kept the basin of water just now, and she was not blessed to enjoy it, so she had to keep it for the person who harmed her. How can such a wonderful thing be wasted?
Xiao Feng seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly took out a black bead from the purse he was carrying, the bead was no more than the size of a little finger, the material was like stone not stone, like wood not wood, dark and inconspicuous, but it exuded a faint fragrance that was almost inaudible. He handed the bead to Mingyue and explained, "This is a poison-avoiding bead that can identify any poison." If you put it on your body, you won't have to be afraid of any poison in the future. ”
Mingyue was stunned, "This is your family's ...... Heirloom beads? ”
There is a magical bead in the Hou family of Wu'an that can distinguish all kinds of poisons, Mingyue knows that this bead has been passed down for several generations, and it is the heirloom of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, and even Queen Xiao wanted to ask for it for the prince, but the Hou Mansion of Wu'an did not agree.
But now, Xiao Feng wants to give her this bead.
Xiao Feng nodded nonchalantly and said, "It's just a bead, and it won't be useful for years." Putting it in the house is just dusting it, and that's what you need most now—"
He saw that Mingyue wanted to excuse himself, so he forcibly stuffed the bead into Mingyue's hand, and said in a rare and tough tone: "Take it, if you don't need it anymore one day, return it to me." ”
Mingyue bit her lip, she was not such a hypocritical person, she only groaned for a while, then calmly accepted it, looked at Xiao Feng's eyes and said seriously: "I will return to Zhao completely." ”
Xiao Feng barely squeezed out a smile, he wanted to say that he didn't have to return it, but he knew Mingyue's temperament, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "I know you will." ”
As he said this, he suddenly turned his face to the side, trying his best not to take Mingzhu into his arms. He took a deep breath before saying, "I haven't told you about the use of this poison avoidance bead yet-"
Mingyue willingly brought over the previous basin of water, Xiao Feng walked over, took the poison avoidance bead handed over by Mingyue, did not put it in the water, only hung it above the basin at will, and then asked Mingyue, "Do you smell it?" ”
Mingyue nodded, "The fragrance of the beads is even stronger." ”
Xiao Feng said, "That's right, the more powerful the poison, the stronger the fragrance emitted by the poison avoidance beads." All you need to do is carry this bead with you, and you will not be afraid of any poison. ”
Mingyue took the poison avoidance bead he handed her again, and said solemnly, "It was originally a fragrance to defend poison." I see, don't worry, I won't leave it for a while. ”
Xiao Feng has stayed here long enough, for the sake of Mingyue or him, he should quickly say goodbye and leave.
But when he thought of saying goodbye today, he didn't know when he would be able to see this person in his heart, and Xiao Feng couldn't say the word goodbye.
How could Mingyue not see the reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes, the deep overflowing feelings made Mingyue very uncomfortable, but she was used to being calm and rational, wrapped some pastries on the table and handed them to Xiao Feng, and said ruthlessly: "It's not too early, you should go back." ”
Xiao Feng's tears suddenly slid down, his pupils were dim, flashing with transparent sadness and despair.
Mingyue sighed lightly, "Let's go!" ”
If he drags on like this, he and she will be found out, and both he and her will end up worrying.
Xiao Feng hurriedly lowered his eyes and wiped the corners of his eyes, and finally took a deep look at Mingyue, "I'm leaving, you, you must protect yourself." Eat well and don't get hurt! ”
Waiting for him, one day, he Xiao Feng will definitely come to pick her up and leave here!
Someday!
"Hmm." Mingyue replied softly: "You also take care!" ”
Xiao Feng nodded heavily, and finally turned around ruthlessly, and slipped silently into the night through the half-open window.
When Mingyue saw him leaving, she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when she saw Xiao Feng coming back the same way, her heart suddenly chuckled, "What, but what did you forget?" ”
Xiao Feng's expression was a little flustered, but he comforted Mingyue and said, "It's okay, I came in when the guards were lax, but at this time, the guards who were transferred away just now came back again, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while." ”
Mingyue didn't know that even her courtyard was heavily guarded, so she couldn't help frowning, "There are a lot of guards?" ”
Is this the case for the entire Regent's Palace, or is it just her?
Although Mingyue didn't ask explicitly, Xiao Feng didn't understand what she meant, "There are a lot of guards in the entire Regent Palace. ”
Xu is there are too many people who assassinate the regent, and the regent is afraid of death, so there are naturally more guards in the palace. But I can't see anything on the surface, it's mostly arranged secret guards. And the skills of these secret guards are all not to be underestimated, otherwise Xiao Feng would not have waited for two days before the regent led people out of the mansion in a hurry not long ago to sneak in.
At this moment, all the dark guards who left just now are back, does it mean that the regent has also returned?
Xiao Feng was a little uneasy, he was really too reckless. If the regent of the religion found out about him, how could he not implicate Mingyue?
He looked at Mingyue's gaze and felt more weak and bitter, but it was not good to tell Mingyue about his worries, lest she also be worried. Only a little bit of luck, maybe he thought too much, and the regent didn't come back.
But soon, the movement outside broke Xiao Feng's luck, and Xiao Tan, who was guarding outside, stammered and asked Ann, "See you, slave...... I have seen the prince, and I have said hello to the prince. ”
Xiao Feng's face suddenly became extremely ugly, he glanced at Mingyue, who had also changed color, gritted his teeth and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, even if I die, I won't affect you." ”
He showed a resolute look on his face, and took out a black scarf to cover his face neatly, revealing only a pair of faintly red eyes full of fierceness. After he finished saying that, he glanced at Mingyue deeply, as if he wanted to engrave her in his heart forever, and then turned around and was about to jump out.
"Stop!" Mingyue called him in a low voice, "Do you want to find death?" Come here! ”
"No, only if I'm gone, I won't let him be suspicious of you!"
"Fart! Get out of here! How could Mingyue watch him go out to die, for the sake of today, there is only one way to try, she looked at Xiao Feng who was hesitant with a strained face, "Do as I say!" ”
Xiao Feng was stunned.
Outside the house, He Zhizhou's calm questioning voice sounded, "The princess hasn't stopped yet." ”
As he spoke, he passed Xiao Tan, who looked panicked, and raised his hand to push the door in.
"The princess and princess have already rested." Xiao Tan didn't know where he got the courage to come from, Huo squeezed to the door, in a vain attempt to prevent He Zhizhou from entering, "It's so late, the prince should go back and rest early." ”
He Zhizhou only waved his sleeves slightly, and Xiao Tan staggered and rolled away in a circle like a spinning top.
"There is some injustice in the house tonight, the king is worried about the safety of the princess, if he doesn't see the princess safe and sound, where can the king rest assured?" He Zhizhou said high-sounding words, his fingers pushed lightly, and the door opened!
