Section 11 Suspicion

When he came to Li Qi's house again, the annoying red sleeves were not there, and only two attendants were guarding the door, so Lu Youyou easily entered the room.

It's just that she tiptoed into the house, thinking that Li Qi was still asleep, but she didn't want to, bypassing the screen erected at the door of the bedroom, she immediately saw Li Qi's bright eyes.

"You...... Are you awake? Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking.

But after asking this sentence, her face turned red again, and it seemed that this was the first time that the two had been alone since they met again in the hollow of the tree that night.

Li Qi didn't expect that it was Lu Youyou who came to deliver the medicine, and he couldn't help but look behind her: "What about Du Qinglian?" Where did he go? ”

Lu Youyou didn't dare to say that his medicine feeding errand was snatched from the master, just to see him earlier, so he said hesitantly: "Master...... He boiled medicine for a day and a night, and it was very hard, so I let him rest. ”

As she spoke, she put the medicine pot on the table beside her, then set up the medicine bowl, and took the handle of the medicine pot to pour out the medicine juice inside.

The medicine pot was made of pottery, and even though it was a long distance from the kitchen to Li Qi's house, the medicine in it was still hot, so Lu Youyou stirred the medicine with a medicine spoon, and walked towards Li Qi, coaxing like a child: "Come on, come on, drink the medicine, and your illness will be cured after drinking the medicine." ”

Seeing Lu Youyou walking towards him so cautiously, a trace of strangeness flashed on Li Qi's face, he opened his mouth, as if he had something to say to Lu Youyou, but in the end, this sentence became: "You put down the medicine and let Qinglian come!" ”

Lu Youyou didn't notice anything wrong, so naturally he refused to follow, and even thought that Li Qi was afraid of drinking the medicine, so he continued to coax: "The medicine is bitter, my master is here, you must drink it too, it's better to drink it obediently now, I will accompany you by the side, how about watching you finish drinking the medicine?" ”

Lu Youyou said, she had already walked to Li Qi's approach, and even sat on the small stool next to her, opposite him, and then she carefully scooped out a spoonful of medicinal soup from the medicine bowl, and continued to coax: "Obedient, obedient, when you take the medicine, the disease will be cured, if you are afraid of hardship, I will help you find some candied fruit in a while, so that you will not be bitter." ”

After speaking, the medicine spoon in her hand was about to reach Li Qi's mouth......

At this time, Lu Youyou suddenly felt a flash of white light in front of her, as if something rushed towards the medicine in her hand, and before she could react, her wrist was slapped hard by a silver-white claw and Li Qi's slender hand at the same time.

I only heard a "bang", and the medicine bowl fell to the ground, and at the same time, Xiaobai's anxious voice sounded: "Master, master, this medicine is poisonous!" ”

What, poisonous!

How can medicine be poisonous?

The overturned medicine was spilled on the ground, Lu Youyou and Li Qi stared at the medicine bowl for a long time, and I don't know how long it took before they heard Li Qi's helpless voice sound: "The matter has come to this, bring him in!" ”

As his voice fell, it was Red Sleeves who came in first, and when she came to Li Qi's bed, she first saluted Li Qi: "Childe, just now Du Qinglian handed over the medicine to Miss Lu, I was afraid that he would take the opportunity to escape, so I took him down in advance, and I hope the master will forgive me." ”

"I know it all." Li Qi nodded, "Let him in!" ”

"Yes!" As he spoke, Redsleeves immediately stood sideways and said in a loud voice, "Bring him up!" ”

Hearing the conversation between Li Qi and Red Sleeves, Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to understand, and he said with a shocked face: "You mean, the person who poisoned the medicine is my master?" Impossible, how could my master harm you? You...... Aren't you friends? ”

Li Qi pulled the corners of his mouth upward, but did not answer Lu Youyou's words, but looked in the direction of the door, and at this time, Du Qinglian had already walked in from the outside, and behind him, followed by two men who looked like guards, all with a solemn face.

Seeing him come in, before Li Qi could ask, Lu Youyou immediately rushed up and grabbed Du Qinglian's cuffs: "Master, Master, you won't hurt Li Qi, you should explain it to him quickly, there must be some misunderstanding in this?" ”

Du Qinglian's face was expressionless at the moment, he glanced at Lu Youyou, and then looked at Li Qi, and at this time, Li Qi was also staring at him, and then asked word by word: "Actually, I also want to know, why did you kill me?" ”

"Kill you? No way? Explain, Master! Lu Youyou said anxiously again.

Du Qinglian's expression was still indifferent, he didn't answer Li Qi's question immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Why are you so sure that I want to kill you?" ”

"From the morning you started boiling medicine......" Li Qi got up from the bed and walked a few steps towards him barefoot, "Youyou has worked so hard to find a medicine guide for me, and you are useless, isn't this enough to arouse suspicion?" ”

Saying that, Li Qi clapped his hands, and immediately several guards poured out from the side, the leader of the one held a tray in his hand, Li Qi uncovered the brocade covering it, but saw the five-colored lotus seeds, the three-branched nine-leaf fairy spirit spleen, and the three precious medicinal herbs of blood acacia were well placed on the plate.

This time, even Lu Youyou was taken aback. Forget about the blood acacia, she knows that there is still a surplus after using it, but the other two flavors are all just this one, and they are gone after use, and now they are still here...... Could it be that Master, he really ......

So Lu Youyou hurriedly grabbed Du Qinglian's sleeve and shook it vigorously: "Master, this ...... Why is that? You...... Hurry up and explain! ”

Du Qinglian glanced at Lu Youyou, who was anxious, then looked at the medicine in the tray, and then sneered: "It seems that you have been sending people to keep an eye on me for the past few days...... Or rather, you've already begun to suspect me since I just found you this time. It's a pity, these two herbs are too hard-won, I was reluctant to destroy them at the time, if they do, now I will be relieved! Therefore, Shichiro is also pretending to be bedridden for a while, just to make me careless and leave these medicinal herbs! ”

Listening to Du Qinglian's words, Li Qi's face turned pale, but he was just about to speak, but he couldn't help coughing a few times, and then blood spilled out from the corners of his mouth.

Lu Youyou was shocked, and was about to go over to check on his situation, but was grabbed by Du Qinglian, and he didn't look at her, but still stared at Li Qi: "Youyou, haven't you noticed it yet?" Shichiro doesn't believe anyone at all, even if I grew up with him almost together, he will guard against me, not to mention that you have only known him for a few months. ”

Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment, and his footsteps paused: "No...... No, this is ...... There must be a misunderstanding in this! I still don't believe you're going to kill him! ”
