Chapter 231: Ambition
Rao is a person like Zhao Ling, who is accustomed to seeing life and death, couldn't help frowning after hearing Yunxiao's words.
It's hard to believe that there are still people in this world who would raise such a penetrating thing to harm people's lives.
"Then, according to your knowledge, what kind of poisonous insects can eat human brains?"
Yunxiao was stopped by Zhao Ling's question, scratched the back of his head, and said, "My subordinates are not proficient in poisons, so I really can't help you with this question, Lord Wang." ”
Zhao Ling paced two steps in the study, looking at the huge study full of exquisite antique calligraphy and paintings, he casually took out a folding fan and played with it in his hand, "It's this king's question that is too difficult for you, you are a person who practices martial arts, and your views on weapons and blades are definitely one of the best, and this method of captive poison and poisonous insects must be the first time you have encountered it; Li Yuan's death is too horrifying, and people will be panicked, if you send someone to tell him to tell him, let him keep the cause of Li Yuan's death as secret as possible, if outsiders ask, they will say that they are violently ill. ”
"Yes."
"Besides, since it is poisonous insects that harm people, then we can't be careless, as the so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, like this method of using other things to quietly harm people is definitely the most difficult to deal with. Notify the Jingwei in the mansion and ask them to check the Li Mansion as soon as possible, especially if they encounter any insects and the like, they must be careful to identify them; We have to be cautious, in case there are still residual poisonous activities in the Li Mansion. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will go down and explain to the brothers."
As soon as Yunxiao turned around and was about to leave, the keen hearing of the martial arts practitioner made him immediately sense that someone was approaching the study, and Yunxiao, who was already leaving, immediately stopped his steps and stayed by Zhao Ling's side again, staring at the door of the study vigilantly.
Within a moment, I saw a snow-white figure like a thin cloud curling in the sky appeared gracefully at the door of the study, Yunxiao saw the person, subconsciously pursed his lips, and looked at the prince who was facing the door of the study at the moment.
"Lord Wang, it's Miss Luo who is here."
Zhao Ling naturally heard the sound of approaching footsteps, but he didn't expect that the person who came would be Luo Rou; Subconsciously, he squeezed the folding fan in his hand, didn't even look back, and said directly to Yunxiao, "You asked her why she came here?" ”
Seeing that the prince was not even willing to say anything to Luo Rou, Yunxiao put down his high hanging heart, as long as the prince was not interested in this scheming white lotus, he was relieved; Later, he will find an opportunity to tell Chunxing that she doesn't have to wash her face with tears all day long, worrying that the prince's heart will be taken away by the scheming girl.
Yunxiao walked to the door and looked at Luo Rou with a weak and pitiful look on her expressionless face, "Miss Luo, this is the place where the prince investigates the case, if the girl is fine, go back to the room to rest first." ”
Luo Rou is smart, of course she can hear the meaning of Yunxiao's words.
Endured the dissatisfaction with Yunxiao in her heart, Luo Rou smiled at Yunxiao delicately, gently lifted the tray in her hand, and said very gently and virtuously, "The prince has been very hard all the way, just now Rou'er made some soup in the small kitchen of the Li Mansion, which has the effect of nourishing and calming the nerves, and Rou'er thought about giving it to the prince to taste, which can be regarded as thanking the prince for taking care of our master and servant." ”
Is it really as simple as sending soup?
If it's really soup, then why did you even change your clothes and paint such delicate and moving makeup?
Yunxiao was really unwilling to expose Luo Rou's lies, and he didn't look at the tray in her hand, and continued to say expressionlessly, "The prince doesn't like to be disturbed when he is doing something, and Miss Luo's kindness, I will accept it for the prince first; It's nothing, girl, please go back. ”
"However, this soup should be drunk while it is hot, Yun Gongzi, I ......"
Seeing that Luo Rou continued to entangle, Yunxiao didn't bother to entangle with her any longer, so he simply picked up the soup bowl on the tray, didn't even use a spoon, raised his neck and drank the sweet and salty soup in a few bites.
Then, he put the soup bowl back again, looking at Luo Rou's shocked expression, Yunxiao said impatiently, "Miss Luo, can you leave now?" ”
At this moment, even if Luo Rou is thick-skinned, it is impossible to pretend that she doesn't understand and can't understand, everyone has already picked up people so obviously, if she stays any longer, she will really have no skin and no face.
Raising her tearful eyes, she reluctantly looked at the back of Zhao Ling, who was unwilling to even turn her head back, and Luo Rou pursed her red lips aggrievedly.
Then he looked at Yunxiao's unkind expression, endured full of resentment and unwillingness, saluted Yunxiao and Zhao Ling, who had his back to her, and said like a kitten, "Then Rou'er will retire first." ”
Seeing Luo Rou returning, Yunxiao wiped her lips and returned to Zhao Ling's side, and couldn't help but mutter, "The purpose of this Luo girl is to not even cover it now, and she comes to flatter her, and her behavior is really ugly." ”
Zhao Ling twisted his head to look at Yunxiao with a disgusted face, and it was rare to be in the mood to joke with him, "The mouth of eating people is short and the hands of people are soft, you just drank a bowl of soup from others, and before people have gone far, you say bad things about others, which seems to be a bit unpleasant." ”
Facing his master, Yunxiao still dared to reveal a little bit of his true temperament: "Fortunately, Lord Wang, you didn't drink that bowl of soup just now, what else do you say to nourish and nourish the gods?" It's as light as vegetable soup, and if I can bear it and not spit it out, it's a bit of face for her; Or the princess's small kitchen in the Flying Feather Courtyard has good craftsmanship, whether it is duck soup or pigeon soup, or all kinds of sweet soups, no matter which soup is better than her. ”
After speaking, Yunxiao realized what he had just said, and quickly glanced at Zhao Ling secretly, and then quietly stuck out his tongue.
Zhao Ling, who was playing with the folding fan, suddenly heard Yunxiao mention Chu Xingyue, and he was immediately stunned, his expression seemed to be stuck in a memory, and he came back to his senses after a long time, looking at Yunxiao who was quail-shaped beside him.
laughed softly, "Stinky boy, you don't have to deliberately say such things to test the heart of this king, this king saved their masters and servants in the first place, and it was entirely because of their surnames that he came to help; In the heart of this king, there is only one wife and a princess, and that person is Yue'er, and no remaining woman can replace her position in the king's heart; When they return to the capital, the king will send them back to Luofu, and from now on, there will be no trouble. ”
Yunxiao saw that his cleverness was seen through by the prince at once, and he smiled wryly, and said: "The subordinates know that the prince didn't take this Luo girl in his eyes, and in the prince's mind, he only pretended to be a princess; It was his subordinates who were narrow-minded and suspicious of the prince, and asked the prince to forgive him. ”
"That's it, the reason why you have such an idea is not for Yue'er, for this, this king will not punish you. It's just that this king sees that this Luo Rou is very ambitious, and tells the people below in the future, don't let her wander around in front of this king if she has nothing to do, this king doesn't want to see her. ”
Yunxiao didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse, Luo Rou came this time to show her goodwill, but she didn't expect to get in the way in front of the prince, and she didn't even have a chance to get close to the prince in the future.
Suddenly, Yunxiao was happy.
He responded with joy on his face, and said in a cheerful and crisp voice: "Yes, the subordinates will definitely do the things that the prince has explained beautifully, and tell the brothers under his hands, don't say anything about Miss Luo in the future, even the female mosquito subordinates will not let them get close to the prince You bite." ”
Zhao Ling was amused by Yunxiao's words and smiled lightly, and a pair of heavy eyes looked into the distance.
During this time, he became more and more stunned, his heart was always fluttering, and he knew very well why he had become like this; - Yue'er, where are you? Where is it?!
Besides, Luo Rou, after being blocked by Yunxiao at the door and refusing to meet Zhao Ling, she showed a sad and pitiful appearance and walked back obediently.
When she walked through the small garden, walked past the half-moon arch, and noticed that there was no one else around, she threw the tray in her hand on the ground with a 'snap', and the tears in her eyes had already been wiped away by her, and what remained was a cold hatred.
"That damn minion dares to ruin my good deeds."
When Cai Liu came up, what he saw was that the young lady looked like she couldn't kill people, and she stared at the mess on the ground with murderous anger.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why did you drop all the dishes and soup bowls? But who bullied you? ”
"Who dares to bully me?! Who can bully me?! ”
Luo Rou was obviously in a rage, and when she saw Cai Liu coming, she immediately poured her anger on her, "Where did you die just now?" Why now? ”
Cai Liu was a little afraid of Luo Rou, looking at the young lady who was delicate but had an uncertain personality, she replied resignedly, "It's the young lady who said that her body has not been good recently, and the slave maid wants to find some bird's nest for the young lady to make up for it, which can not only nourish the face, but also nourish the qi and nourish the yin." ”
Luo Rou still attaches great importance to her face, you know, there is no girl in the Luo family, but why can she stand out among the many girls in the Luo family, in addition to her good brain, the most important one is that she is beautiful enough; Even Luo Yao, the daughter who is dead, is not as good as her in appearance.
Now that she heard Cai Liu talking about bird's nest, Luo Rou's eyes flashed, and she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and said, "Then have you come to find bird's nest?" ”
"Slaves and maids are useless, and now the city of Jeju is suffering from a catastrophe, and many people are hungry; Even if the Li Mansion is rich and powerful, there are not many good things like bird's nest; The slave and maid searched around, but did not find it; I heard that before leaving Beijing, Princess Ling brought a lot of golden bird's nests, but now they are collected by Chunxing; The slave and maid don't deal with Chunxing, even if they ask her for it, I'm afraid they won't be able to come. ”
Luo Rou was already angry, but now that Cai Liu couldn't even find the bird's nest she wanted to eat, she was even more angry and trembling with anger.
Yes, she is now nameless and pointless, where is she qualified to eat such good things, and where does she have the face to ask for what the princess eats.
When she really becomes the mistress of Naling Wangfu one day, let alone the golden bird's nest at that time, even if she wants the most noble position in the world, it is just at her fingertips.
Thinking of this, Luo Rou could no longer control the greedy desire in her heart, especially the position of Princess Ling, she had been thinking about it for a long time and was bound to win.
