285 The Man of the Shadows
Aunt Liu hesitated: "I don't know if what I said is right or not, maybe I'm suspicious, if I say it wrong, Doctor Jing, don't blame me for being nosy." ”
"How so?" Jing Xi smiled, "You just say it." ”
Aunt Liu frowned and said, "Didn't I twist my foot when I chased Xiangyun at noon today." It didn't hurt much at the moment when I just broke my foot, so I followed slowly a few more steps, but then it hurt so much that I stopped.
Then I found out that there were two other men besides me at that time who were following Xiangyun Xiaogongzi, and I heard them speak as if they were not our southerners. One of them also pointed to the little boy Xiangyun and said to the other person, 'It's him, the son of the goddess doctor'
So I wondered if you had a guest from afar? ”
Jing Xi frowned, vigilant: "Then Aunt Liu, have you seen the appearance of those two people clearly?" ”
"............" Aunt Liu thought about it carefully, "They are not very tall, one has a square face, the other has a round face, and there is nothing special in appearance, if I see them again, I will definitely be able to recognize them, but now I can't tell." ”
Jing Xi nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Liu, I will pay attention to it recently." ”
But Jing Xi didn't think that some distant relatives would come to visit, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
It seems that she has to personally pick up Xiangyun to and from school during this time.
……
In an inconspicuous tavern in the middle of the noise, a tall and handsome man listened to the report of his square-faced and round-faced subordinates, and coldly hooked the corners of his mouth.
They all spoke Ugin Chinese, and that man was Akqing, the third prince of Ugin Kingdom.
A Keqing opened the curtain with an unswerving face, strode in, and questioned the person at the table in some non-standard Xuanguo dialect:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that the goddess doctor had a son? Knowing that she has a son tied up directly, it's a waste of time! ”
Xuan Duo dusted off his knees: "That child's school is near the Governor's Mansion, is His Royal Highness the Third Prince so anxious to throw himself into the net?" Besides, what the third prince wants more is not Bai Lu's woman. ”
In fact, Xuan Duo was a little puzzled, the woman named Bai Lu did have a bit of beauty, but it wouldn't make the prince of a country fall in love at first sight to such a point, right?
This Akeqing didn't know if his brain was in the water, and he wanted to get his hands on Bai Lu's woman no matter what.
Even Xuan Yin seems to attach great importance to that woman, heh, it's just a woman, it's just a piece of clothing, Xuan Yin actually takes her so seriously.
I heard that in the past, on the battlefield, he also sacrificed his flesh and blood to block weapons for that woman.
However, although Xuan Duo despises this kind of stupid behavior of risking his life for a woman, since this happened to Xuan Yin, then he is also happy to see it.
Now he wants to take that woman away and give it to Akeqing to play with, so that Xuan Yin can have a good taste of how his beloved woman feels when she is defiled by the enemy.
Yes, that's right, he wants to humiliate Xuanyin, humiliate Xuanyin fiercely!
Thinking of this, Xuan Duo clenched his ten fingers fiercely, and hooked the corners of his lips with compassion: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince doesn't have to worry too much, I have my own arrangements, and I will definitely send the beauty to His Highness at that time." ”
"I want both," Akqing reminded, "don't forget the recipe for the poison." ”
Regarding this arrangement, Xuan Duo was quite confident and said, "I will not disappoint His Highness." ”
Even he himself didn't expect that the two beautiful maids who were placed by Xuanyin's side many years ago would come in handy today after being given to Sheng Ting by Xuanyin.
They provided themselves with a route for Bai Lu and Jing Xi to travel to the suburbs three days later.
It just so happened that the guards beside the woman seemed to have left Hatojo recently, which was very convenient for his movements.
Seeing that Xuanduo was full of confidence, Akqing didn't say anything more, and strode out with two subordinates.
……
The night before Sheng Yuan's birthday, Jing Xi prepared the clothes to be worn on the second day in advance and put them at the head of the bed.
She chose for herself a dress of azure, a color that would not match red in any way.
Before going to bed, she said to herself that everything would go well tomorrow.
Thinking like this, she slept soundly more than ever.
The next morning, Jing Xi woke up naturally as usual.
When I opened the door, I saw that the weather outside was clear, and there was no sign of rain, and the oncoming breeze was also warm, which made people feel good.
Xiangyun, who had already washed up, saw Jingxi open the door and quickly ran over.
asked her anxiously: "Mother, when are we leaving?" ”
"Why are you in such a hurry, you haven't eaten breakfast yet. After breakfast, we will set off with your grandmother and your brother Sheng Yuan. ”
Xiangyun sighed and asked expectantly, "Then can I bring my squatting ball with me?" ”
"Of course, it's a big place outside, and you can play as much as you want."
"That's great, I'm going to get my kickball, and if there are not enough people, my mother will play with us."
Jing Xi looked at the back of the child's happy departure, and thought to herself that if she could avoid the ending set in the original book this time, then she would often accompany Xiangyun to play football in the future, although the least interesting thing she was in all ball games was football.
……
Mrs. Ji not only invited Jing Xi this time, but also invited a few members of Sheng Rong's family to thank them for taking care of Sheng Yuan on weekdays.
By the time everyone was ready to go, the two carriages had been parked side by side at the gate of the courtyard.
Xiangyun wanted to play with Sheng Yuan and the two cousins of the second uncle's family, so he got into the carriage of the Sheng family and was not in the same car as Jingxi.
However, as soon as Jing Xi was about to climb into the carriage, he saw Bai Lu driving the carriage towards this side.
Bai Lu shouted Jingxi while driving the car, so Jingxi climbed the car and ran halfway before he didn't climb.
When Bai Lu stopped the car, Jing Xi asked her, "Didn't you say that you would wait at the city gate?" Why did you come here directly. ”
Bai Lu said: "I have something to ask you for help." Didn't I order a batch of ingredients? There are some river freshness in it, and someone has to help me watch it on the way, otherwise it won't taste good if it dies along the way, and it will be a waste of my efforts. ”
"Okay, no problem, you drive your car, I'll watch it for you in the car."
Bai Lu smiled: "I knew it was right to look for you." ”
Jing Xi asked the others to go first, and he followed Bai Lu to the market in the city to get fresh ingredients.
On the way to the market, Bai Lu stopped the car and said to Jingxi: "You wait for me here, I'll go get something and come back." ”
