That night, Su Li judged the direction according to the Big Dipper, and after determining that the tail of the Big Dipper was the direction of the water flow, he followed the Big Dipper.

Such a way of sleeping during the day and hurrying at night also made Su Li find a stream by mistake.

In the second half of the night on the third day, the appearance of Han Feiyu and Xia Qing heralded the end of this bamboo forest test.

At dawn on the fourth day, Su Li returned to Xiao Heng's residence.

In the past few days, Xiao Heng naturally learned about Su Li's situation through Han Feiyu and Xia Qing. My heart has changed my opinion of Su Li, a pampered princess.

He looked at Su Li with a smile, "After this test, the princess must be tired too." Let's go and rest for a day, and then start the second test tomorrow. ”

Su Li was indeed a little tired, so he didn't say anything and went back to his room to rest.

Early in the morning of the second day, Su Li was invited to Xiao Heng's study.

Su Li looked at the stacked bookcases, and the many books and ancient books placed on the bookcase. She knew that this old man loved books, but there were more books than paper books, which surprised her a lot.

She didn't like to read since she was a child, and then she learned those poems and songs and rhythms for Su Yu, but in fact she didn't like it.

There was no interest in looking at it anymore, and walked to Xiao Heng's desk without squinting, kneeling on the table opposite him.

Although the bamboo house is not as exquisite and gorgeous as the palace, it has its own elegance, and there is a faint fragrance of orchid in the room.

She said obediently, "Hello sir." ”

Xiao Heng nodded a little unnaturally, if he hadn't seen her pungent appearance, he would have really believed that she was so well-behaved.

"I don't know what Mr. Second Guan will test?" Su Li directly threw out his own questions.

Xiao Heng stroked his gray beard, took out a porcelain vase from his sleeve, and put it in front of Su Li.

"The powder in this porcelain bottle is poison, and if the princess can poison the old decay within one day, then the princess has passed the test of this second level. ”

Seeing Su Li's hesitation on his face, Xiao Heng continued: "Don't worry, princess, the old man has already taken the antidote. Encountering poison will only give you a slight headache for a while, but nothing else will matter. The old decay is not enough to toss his old bones like this. ”

Su Li nodded, took the porcelain vase from the bookcase and hid it in his sleeve, and got up to leave.

She returned to her room and looked at the bottle of poison, white powder and odorless.

This test is a difficult problem, some simple poisoning methods naturally can't get into Xiao Heng's eyes, and it will definitely be easy to see through at that time.

Besides, she had already learned from Xia Qing that this old man liked to stay in the house on weekdays and rarely went out.

She didn't have much chance to set up in his study alone, and every move she made after entering was all watched by him.

In this way, it is indeed unlikely that he will be recruited.

Su Li thought for a while, and felt that he still had to go to Xiao Heng's study to stay, otherwise there would be no chance to be poisoned.

She went to Xiao Heng's study again and said with a smile: "Sir, I have a question about this test. ”

Xiao Heng put down the scroll in his hand and looked up at her, this girl couldn't have any ghost idea.

"Will the two of the sir's guards interfere with this test?"

Xiao Heng smiled: "If the princess doesn't ask your secret guard for help, the two old guards will naturally not make a move, so the choice is in the princess's hands." ”

Su Li secretly rejoiced, "So, if my secret guards don't make a move, won't they remind Mr. even if they see that Princess Ben has been poisoned?"

Xiao Heng nodded, now Su Li was completely relieved, in this way, she would have more opportunities.

"Sir, don't mind if I disturb him reading here?" asked Su Lide.

Xiao Heng shook his head and said that he didn't care: "Princess, please." Then he focused on the book in his hand.

He knew she was looking for an opportunity to poison, but how could he be so easy to fool?

Su Li began to look at Xiao Heng's study, this old man's study was except for bookshelves and books and other things. There is also a resting place for drinking tea by the window, and you can see one after another green bamboo outside the window, which is quite elegant.

In addition to the tea set, there is also a delicate incense burner on the coffee table. There are also some small smoke curling Nana from a few small holes, which permeates the room leisurely, and the faint fragrance of orchid makes people feel calm.

Su Li's eyes flashed, and she thought that she might have found an opportunity.

I had long wanted to use this tea set made of bamboo, so Su Li spoke: "Sir, don't mind if I use your tea set to make a pot of tea for Sir?"

Su Li's location was diagonally opposite Xiao Heng's place, Xiao Heng's place was closer to the door, and he happened to have his back to Su Li.

Xiao Heng didn't turn his head and said, "Princess, please, as long as you don't break the old tea set." ”

Su Li replied with a smile: "Okay." ”

The room was silent again, and only the sound of flipping books and cups colliding could be heard.

The methodical sound of Su Li making tea surprised Xiao Heng.

"The princess has learned how to make tea?" It was not that she was surprised that Su Li could make tea, but that she was surprised that a person of her character had the heart to understand the tea ceremony.

Su Li saw his glance and nodded: "When I was recuperating in Tianlang Temple, I was idle and had nothing to do, and I studied with the abbot for two months. After two months of practice, even if it is not good, it can be done. ”

Xiao Heng is not only looking at her movements, but a kind of temperament she exudes when making tea, with a slight Zen and elegance.

If this apprentice can really pass the test, he will not lose if he receives it. Maybe you can't have a good understanding in some aspects, but you have a high level of understanding in this aspect of meditation.

Thinking about it like this, I can't help but look forward to the tea she brews.

Just as Xiao Heng turned his head and continued to read, Su Li poured the powder from the porcelain bottle into his hand.

A moment later, Su Li walked over to Xiao Heng with a tray of tea. A fresh fragrance blew through, and a smile rose into the corner of her mouth.

"Sir, please have tea. She put the tray on the bookcase and looked at Xiao Heng with a smile.

Xiao Heng looked at the six cups of tea in the tray, and his brows couldn't help frowning. I don't understand what Su Li's intentions are.

"There are six cups of tea, and only one of them is poisonous. Whether the gentleman can choose that cup of tea or not depends on the luck of the gentleman. The cunning in Su Li's eyes was very blatant.

Xiao Heng was happy, he had thought that she would poison the tea, but he didn't expect her to be so straightforward.

"How does the princess know that the old man will drink it?"

Su Li smiled, a little meaningful: "If it's a cup, you can naturally refuse to drink it." But right now, it's six cups, and the chance of being poisoned is one in six, is Mr. still afraid that he can't afford to gamble?"

Xiao Heng frowned and looked at Su Li for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "You are very smart, but how can you conclude that you are not poisoned by six cups?"

"You choose one cup to drink, and the remaining five cups to drink the princess. How?" The smile on Su Li's face remained unchanged, not moving.

Xiao Heng said briskly: "Okay." ”

He took the nearest cup of tea and savored it.

After finishing, he also praised: "First bitter and then sweet, it is not easy for the princess to be able to understand at this age." The craftsmanship is good, but you seem to have lost, princess. ”
