Chapter 171: Scheming

In the past two days, she didn't eat or drink, and when she woke up, she lost a lot of weight, and her little face was only the size of a palm, which made her feel distressed.

Cao Yu scooped a tablespoon of porridge and carefully blew it to her mouth, gently treating the most fragile thing in the world.

After eating a small half bowl, Ling Xiu'er's spirit recovered a lot, and her eyes looking at Cao Yu also recovered their brilliance.

"Xianggong, I'm full."

"Okay." Cao Yu did not force her to eat again, people who have just woken up should not eat too much, it is best to eat small meals and eat more. He put the porridge bowl on the table and kept silent about Ling Xiu'er's fainting.

The constant cicada chirping came in from outside the window, and Cao Yu fanned Ling Xiu'er, and was afraid that she would be hot, so she pulled the thin blanket up a piece.

"Xianggong, when are we going back?"

Ling Xiu'er looked at Cao Yu with attachment, she was homesick. After coming to the capital for a few days, she was worried about it, and her hands were painful in order to embroider that splendid picture. But Cao Yu kept silent about her hand injury, and Ling Xiu'er knew that he was not angry because he didn't see it, so he had to pretend that nothing had happened to find something to say.

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when you recuperate." Cao Yu replied without hurrying or slow, without even looking at Ling Xiu'er.

But Ling Xiu'er was very weak-hearted, and hurriedly said: "Xianggong, I'm in good health, let's go back tomorrow, right?" ”

"Then tell me what's going on with your hands."

Cao Yu raised his eyes, but at some point, his eyes were dyed with gloom, or he didn't look at Ling Xiu'er just now, but he was actually hiding his emotions.

Ling Xiu'er's eyes drifted to the side unconsciously, "It's okay, it's just that there is too much embroidery and I'm tired." ”

"Yes, the embroidery is full of needle marks, and you still don't touch the embroidery in the future." Cao Yu's voice was cold, and what he said was the same as the truth.

Ling Xiu'er was anxious, "No, embroidery is my life, if you don't let me embroider, you might as well kill me." ”

"If you keep embroidering, you'll die!"

Cao Yu was furious, he was not a fool, how could he not see that the needle hole in Ling Xiu'er's hand was deliberately pierced for the purpose of extracting essence blood. He didn't know how many times he had persuaded the woman not to use that strange ability, but the woman wouldn't listen.

"Did the people from King Qi's Mansion know your ability? Did they force you? ”

In the face of Cao Yu's questioning, Ling Xiuer shrunk her neck, and finally revealed the truth.

When she learned that Ling Xiu'er was deceived by Princess Qi in order to save herself, Cao Yu suddenly hugged her tightly in her arms. He felt that what he had learned over the years could not fully express his heart.

Ling Xiu'er treated him like this, and it was not enough for him to spend the rest of his life expressing it.

Cao Yu's voice was still cold, but there was a lot more affection, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he pressed against Ling Xiu'er's forehead and said, "I'm sorry." ”

Then Ling Xiu'er felt a warm current on her cheeks, and she couldn't tell whether it was her own or Cao Yu's.

She hugged Cao Yu tightly and interlocked her fingers behind his back.

She Ling Xiu'er is the only one in her life, Cao Yu, and she will not hesitate to go to the soup for this reason.

Outside the door, Zhang Ze saw the two of them hugging each other tightly from the half-open window, and the raised hand finally did not knock down. He looked at the herbs in his hand to nourish yin and qi, called the maid who was waiting in the small courtyard over, boiled it, and brought it to Ling Xiu'er for a while.

After doing this, Zhang Ze returned to the study and played with the sachet that Ling Xiu'er gave him a few days ago. The tighter he pinched, the tighter he squeezed, but the sachet didn't get any more fragrant because he squeezed it tightly.

On this day, Cao Yu stood in the house in official uniform, and Ling Xiu'er stood three steps away, took the belt and gestured up and down a few times, and walked over to buckle the belt on Cao Yu.

She rubbed Cao Yu's sleeve repeatedly with one hand, and always felt that the embroidery skills of this official uniform were not as good as her. Before Ling Xiu'er could say it, Cao Yu straightened her collar and said, "This dress is far worse than what you made." ”

Ling Xiu'er smiled and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, today is the day of your face to be a saint." You have to dress more formally. ”

"Just standing outside the palace, the emperor can't see it."

Cao Yu said that it didn't matter, but he didn't think like that in his heart. He was confident that he would win, but it turned out to be the result. Once he broke into the country to find out, but there was no follow-up. He was unhappy in his heart, so he felt even more awkward when he wore this dress on his body, he should have been the one who wore the champion clothes and entered the temple to face the saints.

"I'm leaving."

After dressing, Cao Yu was about to leave, but Ling Xiu'er stopped him, "Wait, there's another one." ”

As she spoke, Ling Xiu'er tied a chic sachet around Cao Yu's waist. She heard that the face saint has been for a long time, and with this small sachet can help Cao Yu repel insects and refresh herself.

"Come back early."

Ling Xiu'er stood at the door and watched Cao Yu leave, just like when she saw Cao Yu go to the county school in Cao's house, she worked hard, hoping that Cao Yu could prosper in her official career.

Thinking like this, Ling Xiu'er folded her hands and made a wish in her heart.

Sure enough, as Cao Yu said, only the new subjects are qualified to face the saints, and the rest of the people can only stand outside the hall to bask in the sun.

It was August, although it was early in the morning, the heat could not stop coming up, and when it was close to noon, there were several people who fainted from heat stroke, but Cao Yu felt a burst of fragrance from his waist, and the whole person was cool and cool. caused the people around him to unconsciously want to lean towards him.

Cao Yu didn't speak, he knew that it was Ling Xiu'er's credit, but he just smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he was in a good mood.

Finally waited for the disbandment, everyone rushed to the shade, the face saint was just the beginning, and then they had to report to their respective departments, and then it would be a torture.

Cao Yu stood calmly in the middle of a group of people who were so hot that they couldn't wait to roll up their sleeves and take off their clothes, Zhang Ze saw him at once, walked over and said, "Brother Cao, congratulations, the official is a fat man." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Ze smelled a refreshing coolness, and his eyes swept and landed on the sachet on Cao Yu's waist.

Noticing Zhang Ze's gaze, Cao Yu said casually: "This is a sachet embroidered by Humble Jingti, and some medicinal materials with a refreshing smell are placed in it. ”

"Xiu'er is really a good blue heart." Zhang Ze covered the jealousy in his heart with a smile, he clearly remembered that the sachet that Ling Xiu'er gave him was just an ordinary sachet!

Cao Yu smiled, and then asked: "Is the official department still thinking about Zuo Qiansi?" ”

Chapter Seventy-Six: See Your Excellency

If Cao Yu is not mistaken, the previous chief judge in Guozijian is also called Zuo Qiansi. It's really a narrow road.

Zhang Ze sensed the meaning of Cao Yu's words, and smiled embarrassedly, "That's right, it's the one who tried you." Then he patted Cao Yu on the shoulder, with a mocking smile, "Zuo Shangshu is really talented, honest, and honest, and he is a very good boss." ”

"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your advice." Cao Yu hugged his fists and thanked him, his eyes swept to the sachet hanging on Zhang Ze's waist, and suddenly said, "Isn't this the sachet sent by Clumsy Jing?" With that, he tore the sachet off his waist.

Zhang Ze reflexively wanted to grab it, but he grabbed it empty.

Cao Yu's hand holding the sachet behind his back, his eyes were full of provocation, "Poor craftsmanship, this kind of sachet is on the body, I am afraid that it will insult Brother Zhang's identity, Brother Zhang should wear something valuable." ”

"Say goodbye below."
