Chapter 12: Just don't help
Zhang Xu embarrassedly retreated from Chu Jiangli's room, but did not leave. He just walked under the porch, facing the atrium, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, there was a sound of "ping pong" in the room, accompanied by the deliberately muffled voices of men and women. As for what was said, Zhang Xu didn't hear anything except for the complaining tone.
After a little more waiting, the door behind Zhang Xu opened. But he had just turned around and was about to say a few words, but he felt a flower in front of him, and a humanoid object crashed into his place.
Subconsciously, Zhang Xu dodged to the side, but his hand reached out to catch the humanoid object. After settling down, he looked at it, and it was his own prince.
"Hey lord, are you okay?" Although Zhang Xu is not young anymore, and his appearance is also a thin little old man, his strength is not as good as it looks on the outside, and he can even firmly hold Shen Junyu, who is stronger than him, who bumps into him.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. Shen Junyu used Zhang Xu's strength to stand up straight. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart about Chu Jiangli's violent behavior.
I don't know how he provoked her, although the two of them didn't get along well just now, and even fought. But after Zhang Xu appeared, the two of them put down the rest of their thoughts and did not have any disagreements on the previous matter.
But just when he was about to go out, Na Chu Jiangli suddenly pushed him the back, almost knocking him to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Xu was standing outside the door, I was afraid that a "dog gnawing mud" with no image would definitely not be able to leave.
Patting the dust on his body because of the fight just now, Shen Junyu raised his head and asked, "Teacher, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”
Zhang Xu just wanted to answer, but Chu Jiangli suddenly shouted from behind them: "Shen Junyu! ”
Listening to that voice, I couldn't help but be so imposing that I even ignored the honorific title directly.
Shen Junyu was also subconscious, and when he heard someone shouting his name, he turned around. It's just that he hasn't had time to see anything clearly, it's just a basin of water. He splashed at him and poured him cold.
Reaching out and wiping a handful of water droplets on his face, Shen Junyu stiffened his expression and stared at Chu Jiangli in a daze. He couldn't believe that he would be splashed with water by an unknown woman one day.
"You!" After reacting, Shen Junyu was already angry, not to mention that Chu Jiangli, who was standing in front of him at this time, was still holding the empty basin and looking at himself with a smug smile.
"Lord Wang!" Seeing that Shen Junyu was about to be angry, Zhang Xu hurriedly grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Lord Wang, the poison on Yiwen's body must be unraveled by Miss Chu." ”
As soon as he heard Bai Yiwen, Shen Junyu's impulsive expression slowly softened. Yes, he came to find Chu Jiangli today to get the antidote to Bai Yiwen. can't delay Bai Yiwen's pain because of a small loss and a big loss.
So, Shen Junyu, who had made a decision, had to temporarily suppress his anger and grit his teeth, but he had to bow his head and say to Chu Jiangli: "Miss Chu, if you can help Yiwen relieve the poison on his body, we can talk about the conditions you proposed." ”
"Talk again?" Chu Jiangli sneered, and said with disdain: "Seventh Prince, you don't want me to treat you as a fool, and please don't treat me as a fool." If you want me to help you detoxify Bai Yiwen, this is already a thing, who knows if you will wait for me to help him detoxify, and then tell me what happened, let's talk about this matter again? ”
Being reminded by Chu Jiangli like this, Shen Junyu noticed the language problem in his words. But on the other hand, he was even more depressed, obviously she was the one who poisoned her, and the detoxification should have been done by her, but because there was no evidence, she couldn't do it even if she didn't admit it. But if she is allowed to get her hands on this, where will she put her face?
Neither of them spoke, just waiting for the other party to give in first, and the atmosphere froze there for a while.
Zhang Xu looked at this, and then at that, helpless and at the same time felt a headache. He was already thinking about whether the decision to leave Chu Jiangli was right or not, and how to give him a feeling, if Chu Jiangli continued to stay here, then the palace would be very "lively" in the future.
"Ahem," Zhang Xu coughed twice, breaking the somewhat stiff atmosphere of the scene. Then he pulled Shen Junyu behind him, and instead faced Chu Jiangli alone, and said, "This...... Miss Chu, if he offends you in any way, the old man will say no to you on his behalf. It's just that if Miss Chu really has a solution, please tell the girl not hesitantly. ”
Looking at Zhang Xu's sincere expression, Chu Jiangli pulled the corners of his mouth, and finally there was no reason to be angry again. First, Zhang Xu didn't mess with her, and second, naturally, she also felt that Bai Yiwen's suffering was almost the same. But if she just told them how to solve it, she was really not very happy.
So, his eyes rolled twice, Chu Jiangli pursed his lips strangely, and suddenly said: "How can I know how to help him, he is crazy, and he poured water on himself in the morning." Lord Zhang, please help me tell him when I see him, if he wants to go crazy, please continue to go crazy, it's better to hold his master crazy together. Hum! ”
After speaking, Chu Jiangli slammed the door shut.
"Bang!" There was a knock at the door, and Chu Jiangli completely isolated the two of them from the door. Shen Junyu couldn't stand being treated like this, and when he saw her like this, he wanted to step forward and kick the door, but before he could take two steps, he was suddenly stopped by Zhang Xu.
"Oh, teacher, what are you doing, don't stop me. This woman has no rules at all, and I have to teach her a good lesson. Dissatisfied with Zhang Xu's stopping, Shen Junyu struggled to shake off his hand.
Zhang Xu saw that Shen Junyu was going to continue, for fear that there would be something wrong with this matter, so he stepped forward again, and pulled him with the same force: "Don't worry, let me think about it." ”
Zhang Xu has always felt that Chu Jiangli's words just now had special intentions, not just disdain and resistance on the surface. But what does this mean in particular?
Lowering his head slightly, Zhang Xu began to roll his little goatee with his hand again, thinking carefully. Before long, his frowning brow suddenly loosened, and a fine light shot out of his eyes. Then, he pulled Shen Junyu and ran to Bai Yiwen's yard in a panic.
"Hurry up, lord, I know what to do."
Don't look at Zhang Xu's thin body, he can run with wind under his feet, and I don't know where he got the strength, he can still drag Shen Junyu and run so fast together. Even, he didn't give Shen Junyu time to react.
Being pulled by Zhang Xu like this, Shen Junyu was still uncomfortable, but fortunately, after he reacted, he also took a step and hurried back with Zhang Xu. He believed that his teacher must have known something, otherwise he would not be so anxious. But what exactly he knew was up for debate.
"Teacher, what do you know?" Shen Junyu followed Zhang Xu for a while, and felt that it was still necessary to ask clearly. He didn't like the feeling of being inexplicable, as if he were a fool.
Zhang Xu didn't slow down, but he just took the time to look back at Shen Junyu, and explained simply: "Didn't Miss Gangchu already say, let Yiwen continue to splash herself with water, it's best to come with you." I think this is the way to help Yiwen detoxify. ”
"What?" After listening to Zhang Xu's explanation, Shen Junyu braked instantly, and even stopped Zhang Xu with him: "Teacher, you are confused, then Chu Jiangli is clearly not cooperative, how can he tell us the solution so simply." Besides, is she called a solution, it's fake when you hear it, okay? ”
Looking at Shen Junyu's angry appearance, although Zhang Xu frowned, his face was full of smiles. It's just that when this is combined, the expression on his face is as strange as it is.
"Lord Wang, since Miss Chu said so, there must be her intentions, and we might as well give it a try. Otherwise, what else do you do? As he spoke, Zhang Xu spread his hands, as if he wanted to completely throw this question back to Shen Junyu.
"......" Shen Junyu was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to purse his lips, and honestly followed Zhang Xu and ran to the small courtyard where Bai Yiwen lived.
Although Chu Jiangli had already closed the door of her house, she had been paying attention to the situation in the outside world. After Yan saw Zhang Xu pulling Shen Junyu away, she immediately ran back to the bed and took out a book from the quilt.
That's what she found out when she was "surveying" the terrain of the yard after she came in last night. This is a habit that she has been trained since she was a child, no matter where she goes, she must first know the terrain and surrounding environment, and most importantly, know where the safe escape route is. Though...... It's clear that there won't be this thing here.
Sitting quietly on the bed, Chu Jiangli began to look through the contents of the book page by page, and from time to time made various expressions because of the description inside. In fact, it's no wonder that she, who makes the things in the book too.
People say that happiness doesn't know how long it will pass, but Chu Jiang doesn't know how long it will be when he reads. If it weren't for the rebellion of his appetite for not having breakfast, I'm afraid Chu Jiangli wouldn't know that it was noon.
It's just that...... It's useless to know. She has no money and is a black household, and she doesn't know where the kitchen in the palace is, so she can find out the palace, and she doesn't know where to sell food. Speaking of which, it's really sad enough.
Touching his already deflated stomach, Chu Jiangli sighed helplessly, and was about to get up and go out to find food. But she had just hidden the book, but there was a polite knock outside the door, and then, Bai Yiwen's voice came: "Miss Chu, the prince invites you to talk about it in the study." ”
