Chapter 72: No last resort
Since they met, Xiao Chen and Nan Jinyu haven't really talked much, and they haven't talked very seriously, let alone talked.
"I'll give you a chance to say it at the last time."
Xiao Chen stared at her, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and didn't know why.
The unification of Baidu reversed again, the Shen family was eyeing each other, and the small abacus of the Yongning Marquis Mansion was making an uproar, so that the current attitude in the palace was ambiguous, and he hated to make use of all the people who could be used to balance the current turbulent situation.
Nan Jinyu bit her lower lip, stared at him with a smile, and suddenly said after a while: "Your Highness, you shouldn't be vinegar, right?" β
ββ¦β¦β
A hint of surprise suddenly flashed on her cold face, and her scarlet lips pursed slightly, pretending not to hear what she had just said.
"Well, if you don't speak, that's it!"
Nan Jinyu raised her eyebrows, looking very curious, she leaned towards him, looked up at him with a plain white face, and only then did she smile with satisfaction when she swept to the root of his slightly reddened ear.
"Will you die?"
Xiao Chen grinded his teeth, pulled her collar and lifted the person away, and the whole person instantly formed a layer of thin ice, covering his hands and face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Angry?"
Nan Jinyu blinked, knelt on the cushion on the side obediently, and tilted her head to look at him.
The first beauty in Yanjing is born against the sky, and even when she is angry, she is tragically beautiful!
"Humph!"
Xiao Chen turned his eyes away from her, he knew that this dead girl was knowingly guilty, so he wouldn't come, let her go!
"Or ......"
Nan Jinyu hesitated for a few seconds, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he raised his hand to grab Xiao Chen's wrist, almost without internal breath, he could feel his true qi scurrying around, as well as the Heart Devouring Gu in his blood.
"You're not a doctor, don't guess."
With a flick of the silver sleeves, Xiao Chen withdrew his wrist, looking like he ignored her because he was angry, but in fact, it was because he felt flustered.
"It doesn't matter if I'm a doctor or not, but I'm not blind!"
Nan Jinyu sighed, and the look of joking gradually disappeared.
A few days ago, he didn't go to himself because of the Gu poison attack, until the misunderstanding was solved on the day of the long street, and now he is looking at the excessive reaction, all because of the side effects of the Heart Devouring Gu, or is it better because of her?
"What do you see again? Seeing is not necessarily believing. β
Xiao Chen glanced at her, his tone was no longer as angry as Fang Cai, and it was still not much better.
"No, no, no, I'm stupid, I don't see anything."
Nan Jinyu blinked, realizing that she had inadvertently done something unkind, so she couldn't bear to poke him directly.
"Don't believe Ji Lingfeng no matter what he says to you, he has a lot to do with Bai Ying."
Xiao Chen sighed, feeling that he had found a big trouble from the beginning, but this trouble is becoming more and more disobedient now, maybe it will make him angry to death that day.
"I can see it, it's pitiful."
Nan Jinyu nodded, looking very well-behaved.
Three years ago, the prince of Yongning Hou was only fifteen years old, and in the eyes of the eighteen-year-old Princess Luoying, he was just a little child, but he was obviously such an infatuated teenager, why did he grow up to be so lacking in heart and eyes today?
What a pity!
"Do you pity him?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, and when he saw her sighing, he suddenly felt that there might be some problems with this girl's comprehension.
"Huh? No! I mean, the prince of Yongning looks very smart, why did he meet this princess of Luoying, and his IQ was instantly two hundred and five? I'm afraid that's what the so-called brain-dead fans are! β
Nan Jinyu sighed, anyway, the brain circuit is probably hopeless, but I don't know if Xiao Chen was poisoned back then.
"That's what you want to know when you go out with him?"
Xiao Chen held her forehead, wanting to open her head very much to see what strange things were contained in it, and she was so willful in her words and actions.
"Or else? In broad daylight, do I go out to the restaurant with him to fall in love? Do you have a problem with my brain or does he have a problem with his brain? β
Nan Jinyu said helplessly, poured a cup of tea for herself, and didn't plan to continue to explain.
If he doesn't even have the least trust and respect at this point, then there can be no future between them, she will be forced to breathe, he is afraid that he will go crazy.
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Chen was dumbfounded by her straightforward words, the truth is such a reason, but he was inexplicably angry, and even wanted to kill the Ji family kid for a while!
"Master, it's here."
Ye Bai saw that there seemed to be no intention of continuing to fight, and finally after four or five turns, he parked the carriage outside the gate of the Shen family's courtyard.
Xiao Chen got out of the carriage first, and seeing that she was still in a daze, he raised his hand to open the curtain, "Get out of the car." β
"Oh!"
Nan Jinyu rubbed her eyebrows, feeling that she needed to get along with him more, so as not to be held in her hands to be a doll in the future, and she didn't have the heart to think about what he brought her to do in what place.
The Shen Family Courtyard is located in the western suburbs of Yanjing, because of the mountain, the scenery is pleasant.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, please come inside."
A few people dressed in tie-dye costumes greeted them, and respectfully led the future inside.
Nan Jinyu looked around and realized that they didn't seem to be in the city anymore, and the crisp sound of hundreds of silver bells hitting reminded her of what this place was.
Walking along the corridor of the annex, you will go around several beautiful viewing gardens, and you will see a small building in the middle of the lake.
"Your Highness, what are we doing here?"
"Guest."
Xiao Chen glanced at her, and when he saw that her expression was as usual, his heart became more and more panicked.
Early in the morning, she ran out to meet Ji Lingfeng for dinner, but he was worried about taking her with him wherever he went, so as not to have any misunderstanding, did they do the opposite?
"Oh......"
Nan Jinyu pouted, thinking to herself, why did you bring me when you saw your first love? Is it because I look good enough to be in a town, or do I specifically bring my ex to death?
"You don't have to ask......
"Luo Ying has seen Brother Chen!"
Xiao Chen lowered his head and was about to reason with her, but was suddenly interrupted.
A crisp voice came, and then I saw the figure of the white gauze fluttering on the stone steps of the warm jade barefoot, like a fairy who strayed into the mortal world.
"The Holy Maiden does not need to be polite."
Xiao Chen didn't raise his eyes, his gaze was still on Nan Jinyu, and said, "This is the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang, you have met." β
"I didn't know it was a saint that day, and I was offended."
Nan Jinyu bent her lower lip and looked at each other without moving.
Although the clothes of this saint are white yarn, they are woven from delicate silk, the low-key and gorgeous luster is soft and colorful, and the silver bells are embellished with the skirt, which makes the looming jade feet more mysterious and seductive.
Compared to her own plain face, this saint is staggeringly exquisite!
"Sister Nan is too worried, if it wasn't for my sister on Yongning Street that day, I'm afraid that the child will become an innocent soul, and Bai Ying will thank you for that child again."
Before the words fell, the saint made a salute, and those who didn't know thought that the saint's temperament was free and easy.
"The saint has a good reputation, if it wasn't for the Yongning Hou Shizi that day, Jinyu wouldn't be able to save the child, if the saint wants to thank her, she should go to thank the Yongning Hou Shizi."
Nan Jinyu smiled with eight teeth, deliberately disgusting her with a sweet deathly voice.
Since Xiao Chen can be jealous of this, he is not a little white flower who has been quiet for a long time, so he should play less scheming with her......
"Listening to the meaning of Miss Nan's words, it seems that she is very familiar with the Hou Shizi of Yongning?"
Bai Sakura gestured to the people behind her, and only the three of them were left in the small building in the middle of the lake.
There are only a few cases and a few soft collapses in the eye, which makes people think about it.
"No, I don't know each other at all, how can I be familiar with men and women?"
Nan Jinyu smiled and said, her eyes always stayed on Princess Luoying's face.
Beauty is beautiful, but the makeup is so thick that she has lost a bit of her authenticity, she can surprise the four seats with just a thin powder, why did she do the opposite?
"Yes, that day, when I saw Yongning Hou Shizi hugging Miss Nan, I thought he was in love with you, and I thought that the talented woman was very good-looking......"
Bai Ying turned around and lit incense, and there were all kinds of medicine cups and jars in front of the large desk, as well as many valuable medicinal materials, and she didn't seem to care much about Nan Jinyu, an uninvited guest.
"Huh! The saint seems to be very concerned about the affairs of the prince of Yongning, why don't you ask him herself another day? There may be a surprise. β
Nan Jinyu said casually, look at what she is planning to do to this demon with this posture?
Bai Ying's body suddenly stiffened when she heard this, and she felt that Nan Jinyu's words were really a blatant declaration of war, so she leaned on the couch and beckoned to Xiao Chen.
"Brother Chen, come and sit down first, although this medicine is not the best, but it is extremely useful to control the onset of poison Gu."
ββ¦β¦β
Nan Jinyu felt as if she had stepped on thunder, and she didn't know what Xiao Chen's intention was in bringing her.
After all, he is the first love of his childhood sweetheart, and he once had a marriage contract, and if the death of the first concubine is found out, there will be nothing to do with him.
"Girl, look at the medicine."
Xiao Chen's eyebrows didn't move, and patted Nan Jinyu's head, looking at her expression, it was not difficult to guess that this wild fox was crooked again.
Nan Jinyu resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him, smiled well-behaved and reserved, and said, "Yes." β
"It turns out that Miss Nan still understands pharmacology."
Bai Ying's face changed a few times, but she still kept smiling after all, and let Nan Jinyu rummage through the jars on the table.
"I know a little bit about it."
Nan Jinyu replied casually, looking at the medicine jar with a very cautious expression.
No matter what the identity of this princess Luo Ying is, how she does the position of the saintess of southern Xinjiang, she has to be extremely cautious, if she is allowed to do something in Xiao Chen's medicine, it will be her own life that is endangered after all!
"Do you just understand a little?"
The look on Bai Ying's face froze, and she looked at Xiao Chen in confusion, but saw that his gaze fell on her, and his cold appearance was very different from the Xiao Chen she knew before.
"yes, a little bit of understanding."
Nan Jinyu nodded, not caring at all what others thought of her.
This demon trusts himself, and he can be worthy of his trust, and this princess of the cherry blossoms is a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, no matter what the purpose isβno good intentions!
"See what?"
Bai Sakura's eyes lit up, and the smile on her face deepened a little.
When did Xiao Chen become so indecisive? was tossed casually by a little yellow-haired girl. I think it's because I've been tortured too much over the years, so I can't help but find a well-behaved one to put by my side, and have nothing to do?
"Nothing."
Nan Jinyu said truthfully, muttering a little in her heart.
She doesn't know much about the doorways of Gu art, but she has asked the fourth aunt a few times these days.
Heart Devouring Gu is different from other Gu poisons, the commonality of blood Gu is that it feeds on raw blood, and the host exhausts the Gu worm and dies, although it tortures people, but before finding a new host, the Gu worm will not easily kill the host.
If this Princess Luo Ying wanted to do something, it would be impossible for her to take out this medicine that inhibits Gu poison, on the contrary, since she took it out, she must not be fake!
"What does it mean by nothing?"
Bai Sakura was stunned, not understanding what kind of answer she had?
"It means that this medicine is fine, the effect is symptomatic, the medicinal materials are good, and it takes a lot of time and effort to make."
Nan Jinyu put down what she was holding, yawned and stood aside.
There was only room for two people on this couch, and she wasn't so interested in squeezing in with them, how ugly it was!
"I didn't expect Miss Nan's slight understanding to be able to say it so accurately. If Brother Chen is not worried about falling cherry, then it is better to let Miss Nan try it for you, and you will know if it is true or false. β
Shirakura smiled a little strangely, as if she was referring to something.
"I'm trying the drug? It's a medicine that is poisonous! β
Nan Jinyu looked at Bai Ying with a look of "you and I am an idiot", and she didn't understand what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
"Having said that, but Miss Nan's blood is the key to the solution to the Gu, you have taken these medicines with a hundred times better effect than Brother Chen, of course, how to decide this matter is still up to you, Luo Ying is just giving a pertinent advice."
Bai Sakura sighed slowly, her tone revealing a bit of resentment.
ββ¦β¦β
Nan Jinyu bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say.
The old lover sent the antidote thousands of miles to the heart, but her new pet refused to help?
Ahem! It seems a bit unkind to compare yourself like this!
"What you want, this temple does not guarantee that it will be as you wish."
Xiao Chen hooked the corners of his lower lip, not caring at all about what Bai Ying said, nor did he care about Nan Jinyu's reaction.
"Luo Sakura understands that since she wants to gamble, she is mentally prepared."
Seeing that Nan Jinyu was indifferent, Bai Ying smiled with satisfaction.
Such a timid and selfish person, Brother Chen can't look down on her, no matter what she has done wrong, as long as she is determined to change, it will still be too late, Brother Chen has always spoiled her......
"Let's go, we should go back."
Xiao Chen didn't speak again, his eyes turned to Nan Jinyu, who was standing on the side and trying to pretend that he didn't exist.
"Oh, good."
Nan Jinyu glanced at the case, and saw that Yebai didn't know when he had come in to pack all the medicines, and couldn't help but marvel at the execution of the guards around him.
Bai Sakura looked at the silver figure and turned away without hesitation, her heart throbbed violently, and then she looked at the petite figure beside him, and before she knew it, her nails had been cut into her palms.
Once upon a time, that position was hers, but now she can no longer choose to go back to the past, so she can only pull out of the deep quagmire first, and the rest ...... Calculate slowly!
"Tut-tut!"
A gust of fragrant wind blew on the face, and the colorful figure stepped on the lotus leaves, and the mocking voice was undisguised.
"Is the county king too idle? Falling cherry blossoms to meet old people can also alarm your old man? β
Bai Sakura's face was cold, and her beautiful face was already cracking inch by inch at this moment, like a corroded eggshell, and the bright skin peeled off to reveal a terrible scar.
"Didn't your old man come with a new one? What if the king of this county says that I came to see that girl? Do you believe it or not? β
The king of Jiangyang County lay down on the couch, pinched a grape and threw it into his mouth.
Xiao Chen's demon is really hidden deep enough, he has wanted to kill her for a long time, but he can still negotiate so leisurely and calmly, and even brought that girl to respond to people!
"Didn't the county king also take a fancy to that girl? Except for being born a fox, this saint doesn't see anything good about her! β
Shirakura put on the veil to cover her face, which had begun to change due to the backlash, and her eyes shone with a resentful glow.
People like the Hou Shizi of Yongning can be confused by her, it can be seen that this girl must be a fox who has cultivated to perfection, and she doesn't want even the king of Jiangyang County to look at her differently......
"You won't admit it because you're jealous!"
Jiangyang Junwang chuckled, picked up a medicinal herb and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, "Northern Snow Lotus, you used so much, just to detoxify Xiao Chen?" I can't see that a femme fatale like you would regret it. β
"Detoxification? The king of the county, the Heart Devouring Gu has no solution at all. β
Bai Ying smiled a little, took a delicate box from her sleeve pocket, and after opening it, there was a scarlet elixir lying inside.
"What is this?"
The king of Jiangyang County looked surprised, and saw that she had eaten the pill into her mouth.
"Hibiscus Dan."
Sakura smiled, the terrifying countenance on her face was disappearing little by little, returning to its previous flawless form, as if the half grimace was just a short-lived terrible dream, not real.
On the carriage, Nan Jinyu was distracted with her chin on her head.
The child now has a lot of big question marks in her mind, and she wants to ask too many questions, but she doesn't know where to start.
"Do you have anything to ask?"
Xiao Chen saw that she was so entangled that she began to pull her hair, and couldn't help but slap her claws off and smooth out her sideburns.
"Yes is ......"
Nan Jinyu said sincerely, aren't they incompatible? Why are they allied again?
Looking at the affectionate appearance of the princess of the falling cherry, she almost thought that she should take the initiative to retreat from the main room by Xiao San'er!
"Not curious?"
Xiao Chen rubbed his eyebrows, and for the first time felt that he had overestimated her IQ.
"Did Your Highness make any deal with Princess Sakura?"
Nan Jinyu thought about it and still felt that this problem bothered her the most, in case someone wanted to make a promise or something, she had to quickly step aside and give way, so she didn't have to fold herself in.
"She wants to exchange the antidote for freedom, and ......"
Xiao Chen saw that she looked confused, and deliberately betrayed Guan Zidao.
