Chapter 242
It was almost time for dinner, and Xiluo came over to Su Jinyao and said, "Miss Liu, I'll go and prepare dinner for you, if you have anything special to eat, or something you want to avoid, just tell me." ”
Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "I'm not a picky eater, but I don't like to waste either." Four dishes and one soup are enough for the two of us. ”
Xi Shen'er said yes and went out, and came back after a while, holding a round three-layer food box in her left hand and a square snack box in her right hand.
Xi Shen'er put down the two boxes, and laid out the same meals and snacks, as well as two plates of candied fruit and two plates of nuts. It can be seen that the mind (tǐng) of the joy pendant is delicate.
When Xiluo set the table, Su Jinyao came over to help. When the distance was closer, Su Jinyao saw that the slap marks on Xi Luo'er's face were still there. However, it should have been a cold compress, and the swelling has indeed decreased a lot, and the color has become lighter.
Su Jinyao couldn't help but ask again, "Xiluo, who beat you?" You tell me, and I'll have to hide from it in the future, so as not to mess with the wrong people. ”
Xi Zhuo'er subconsciously turned her head, probably not wanting Su Jinyao to pay attention to the slap marks on her face anymore. But when she heard Su Jinyao say that she should avoid people who shouldn't be provoked, she raised her head and said, "Miss Liu, remember, don't go to Morning Dew Garden to provoke the four princes." ”
The Four Princes? A big greeting popped up in Su Jinyao's mind, saying that she didn't know this person at all, let alone provoke her.
But then again, in addition to knowing Gu Xuebin, the entire palace probably knows Aunt Ma and the Xiluo'er in front of her, who else can she provoke? She didn't know where it was.
It's just that Su Jinyao didn't expect that she wouldn't go to Morning Dew Garden to provoke others, but someone had a crooked mind and came here to provoke her.
Su Jinyao stayed here for two days. During this period, Aunt Ma only came once, asked Su Jinyao what she needed, and told Xiluo'er to serve her carefully, so there was no other topic. For the special patient that Su Jinyao wanted to treat, he didn't mention a word.
However, Su Jinyao wrote two medicine lists, but the medicine was delivered soon. There are also some simple pharmaceutical tools, but the person who sent these things specially told Su Jinyao that Yazhu is not allowed to fire, and it is not okay to decoct the medicine, so he has to let Xiluo'er take the medicine to a special pharmacy to decoction.
Su Jinyao asked, "Then can I follow Xiluo'er to decoction medicine?" I can just watch and give me pointers without moving my hands. Because the heat of this medicine is very particular. ”
The person who delivered the medicine shook his head and said, "The girl can write down a specific prescription, and there is an imperial doctor who is specially responsible for decocting the medicine." ”
Su Jinyao hesitated for a moment and verbally agreed. But the medicine that was sent, she didn't move again.
If she wasn't allowed to decoct the medicine herself, Su Jinyao wouldn't worry about anyone. Even if Xiluo'er is reliable, she is still a little girl, in case she falls into the plan of leaving the mountain, the medicine will be easy to be manipulated.
In case of any small mistake or omission, Su Jinyao will have to bear the consequences. Therefore, if she is not allowed to move, she might as well not move.
Xi Shen'er completely ignored what Su Jinyao did and didn't do. Usually stand quietly next to him, not far away or close, and never take the initiative to talk.
Su Jinyao slowly felt that this should be the way of survival in the palace. A little girl suppressed the heaven (xìng) that she was playing, and treated herself as if she were a stone, not speaking, not moving, and being well-behaved and obedient, so that she could gain a foothold in this palace.
In the evening of the next day, Su Jinyao ate dinner in advance when she was idle, and then sat in the small courtyard to watch the sunset.
She knew very well that although she didn't have a (jìn) foot order, she couldn't leave this courtyard easily. Sometimes I wonder if the Queen Mother doesn't summon her, or if she is cured and doesn't allow her to leave, will she be trapped here for the rest of her life?
However, it is always meaningless to think. And it's only been two days, which is not enough to explain any serious problems.
But just as Su Jinyao was about to get up (shēn) to find some other pastime, she suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind her. Her sensitive nerves were mobilized at once, and she subconsciously lowered her head and twisted her waist, and a fist-sized stone flew past her neck.
This stone is not small, if Su Jinyao didn't dodge it just now, the stone would definitely hit the back of her head. Coupled with the huge habit (xìng) of throwing, it is light to smash her into a brain shock (dàng); It is very likely that it will be smashed through the skull or hit the brain stem in one fell swoop, and then it will be life-threatening.
The other party wants to make a dead hand, and Su Jinyao naturally will not hold back. She touched the ground with her toes, kicked up the stone that had just fallen to the ground that had not hit her, reached out to catch it, and threw it with her hand.
Su Jinyao's technique of throwing stones was very accurate, and he almost didn't need his eyes to see, and he could intuitively distinguish the location of the person who had just thrown the stone at him. So this hit was accurate and ruthless, and I couldn't catch it off guard.
I heard an "ah", followed by a "plop", and a person fell down from the opposite wall.
But because the person climbed up on the other side of the wall, and fell back to the other side, Su Jinyao didn't see who hit her.
Xi Shen'er was originally not far from Su Jinyao (shēn), and she and Su Jinyao were standing facing each other. So when the stone came, she also saw it, but it was not as fast as Su Jinyao, so it was too late to even remind her.
Knowing that the other party was counterattacked by Su Jinyao and fell off the wall, Xi Shen'er exclaimed: "It's the fourth prince." ”
The Four Princes again? Su Jinyao narrowed her eyes, jumped over in a few steps, and stepped on the wall with her toes, and went up to the wall. looked down, wanting to see if the fourth prince who had attacked him for no reason was killed by himself.
However, when Su Jinyao saw the person lying on the ground clearly, she was really angry and funny.
On the other side of the wall, there was a person on the ground facing the sky, looking at a teenager in his teens, but he couldn't see it clearly. Because he had a large rattan basket (tào) on his head, which covered his whole head.
But there is a deep depression on the basket, which should have been smashed by Su Jinyao with a stone counterattack just now.
It is conceivable that if the fourth prince was not prescient and put a basket (tào) on his head, Su Jinyao would be in the middle of the door this time. Even if you don't beat him directly to burst his brain, at least the nasal bones will be shattered, the eye sockets will be cracked, and whether the eyeballs can be saved are two words.
However, the four princes seemed to have fainted, and they lay on the ground for a long time without moving.
Su Jinyao was about to jump down to see if the fourth prince had fallen to his death, but unexpectedly, a chaotic sound of footsteps sounded, and then a man shouted: "Who dared to attack the fourth prince?" Do you want to jump over the wall and run away? ”
Su Jinyao looked over and saw a team of guards running over with spears, several people surrounded the four princes who were still on the ground, and some stood under the wall and pointed at Su Jinyao on the wall with the tip of their spears.
Looking at the posture of this real knife and real gun, it seems that Su Jinyao will be corrected on the spot if she moves recklessly.
Xi Shen'er was still on this side of the wall, she couldn't see the situation on the other side at all, she only saw many spears raised high, all of them were higher than the wall, only facing Su Jinyao, she knew that something was wrong, and she ran outside in a panic.
Su Jinyao didn't care whether Xi Shen'er was going to report the news or because she was afraid, she looked at the guards below condescendingly, and said, "I just heard the screams of the four princes here, and I just came up to care, and I didn't mean to escape." ”
Su Jinyao is not a fool, at this time she will not admit that she smashed the fourth prince with a stone just now.
One of the guards at the head said: "Bold, daring to trespass into the harem is a big crime." Don't hurry down and get tied. ”
Su Jinyao won't go down, but she won't run away either. Now this (qíng) situation is a little strange, if she really turns (shēn) and runs, it is not difficult to run away, but this black cauldron will have to be carried.
Seeing Su Jinyao standing at the head of the wall, the scene was deadlocked, and the guard who was the leader said a few words to a small soldier behind (shēn), and he was also going to ask the people above.
After all, whether it is a harem person or not, Su Jinyao must have some backstage if she can stay here. None of these little guards dare to provoke them, so let's ask the people above for clarification first.
Moreover, they discovered the situation (qíng) and brought people under control, and this is a credit; If you are strong, you will make this "assassin" (bī) anxious, and it will not be worth losing both. The two sides were at a standoff for the time being. Su Jinyao was calm on the surface, but she thought in her heart: if someone planned this scene, it would be to put herself (bī) into the circle (tào). In this way, the other party can no longer hold his breath and start to attack himself?
Thinking of this, Su Jinyao squinted her eyes, looked at the big basket of the fourth prince who was still lying on the ground, and wondered if she had to pull this kid on her back when she had no choice but to do so.
Su Jinyao was thinking about jumping down now, picking up the big basket of the four princes, and controlling it; Or do you want to arrest someone when the situation is unfavorable for you for a while?
Timing is important, and it is easy to be mistaken for a real assassin if you are early. It's too late, and I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to catch that kid as a hostage, but it's really hard to choose.
In fact, Su Jinyao was still able to think crankily at this time, which proved that she was not very nervous at all.
The guards below saw that the girl standing on the wall did not change her face and her eyes were smart, and they did not dare to act rashly. You must know that a person's bearing and courage are enough to show that this person's (shēn) share, even if she is not from the palace, she must be fearless if she can be so calm, and these little guards really can't afford to offend.
Both sides were thinking about the next step, and Su Jinyao stood at the head of the wall to have a better line of sight, and saw Xi Luo'er coming over with Aunt Ma. However, Xi Shen'er ran from her side, but she came from the guard's side with Aunt Ma.
There were also guards who found Aunt Ma and immediately spread a road and let Aunt Ma walk in.
Aunt Ma came to the center of the guards, looked up at Su Jinyao, who was still standing on the wall, looked for her hand, and said, "Come down, don't fall." The tone was unusually gentle, as if he was calling his own baby home for dinner.
Su Jinyao's heart was sweet, and her impression of Aunt Ma was a little better. Hurriedly and obediently jumped down.
This time, no one among the guards stopped them, and no one dared to shout half a sentence, and they all moved aside a little to facilitate Su Jinyao to jump down.
Su Jinyao (shēn) Zi is very light, and there is almost no sound when it falls to the ground. Then he ran directly to Aunt Ma's (shēn), which was regarded as finding a backer for himself.
Although Su Jinyao has always been the master who does not suffer, she will not be strong in everything. As long as someone is willing to come forward, she will not stand behind strongly after all.
Anyone who is strong in everything is called stubborn; It's not good, it's called a mallet, two hundred and five, who has a backer, what are you doing in front of people? Waiting to be knifed, shot, cannon fodder?
Therefore, as long as this kind of weakness can solve the problem, and someone can settle the matter (qíng), Su Jinyao will never come out on her own.
Aunt Ma really didn't disappoint Su Jinyao. When Su Jinyao stood behind her (shēn), Aunt Ma raised her hand and slapped the guard on the head, and reprimanded loudly: "This is the descendant disciple of the divine doctor, and the distinguished guest who lives in Yazhu, you dare to shout?" ”
"Yes, yes, the little ones don't dare. We...... I was also afraid that the disciple of the divine doctor would accidentally fall. (qíng) In a hurry, the voice is a little louder. The guard was slapped on the head, but he didn't even dare to cover his face, and nodded vigorously to admit his mistake.
Aunt Ma didn't pursue it, with her share of (shēn) in the palace, slapping someone was called "reward", and she still felt that her hands hurt if she rewarded too much.
Therefore, Aunt Ma looked down at the four princes who were still lying on the ground, looked up and down, and called directly: "Under the four princes (diàn), the queen mother asked you to endorse him." ”
The fourth prince was still looking like a dead dog just now, lying still and not moving, but when he heard Aunt Ma's words, he immediately curled up (shēn) like a shrimp, and shouted: "Ah, my stomach hurts, and I forgot everything I have memorized." ”
Aunt Ma pursed her lips and smiled, reached out and took off the big basket (tào) on the head of the fourth prince, took it and looked at it, and touched the place that was smashed by the stone with her hand, and her eyes glanced at Su Jinyao.
Su Jinyao hurriedly lowered her head. She did it, but she wouldn't admit it now. She knew that Aunt Ma would not pursue it now, and when there was no one in the future, Aunt Ma would listen to her explanation.
Aunt Ma saw that Su Jinyao bowed her head obediently, so she casually threw the rattan basket to the ground. The force is great, the basket is about to be flattened, and the depression is not clear. This is clearly shielding Su Jinyao and destroying evidence.
Su Jinyao knew in her heart that Aunt Ma was determined to protect herself, so she put on an honest appearance and stood honestly with her hands down.
Aunt Ma was quite satisfied with Su Jinyao's performance, and turned to the fourth prince and said, "(diàn), let's go with Aunt Ma." The queen mother gave a stick of incense time, and when the time comes, you can't recite it, and you will be locked up. If you are imprisoned for three days this time, will you be able to stand it? ”
"I can't stand it." Only then did the fourth prince get up from the ground. At that station, he smoothed out his hair that was messed up by the basket (tào), and said, "Aunt Ma, you can help me say a few good words to the imperial grandmother, and I will go to endorse it now." ”
"Okay, I'll help you (diàn) talk about good things. However, (diàn) also has to promise that you can't be so naughty in the future, and don't run to Yazhu's side if you're fine. If you provoke a distinguished guest, the queen mother will blame her, and even I will be locked up. ”
Aunt Ma pointed at Su Jinyao as she spoke, which actually meant to warn the four princes not to provoke Su Jinyao.
The fourth prince probably didn't expect that a girl a few years older than himself could be protected by Aunt Ma, so he raised his head and glared at her fiercely.
Although Su Jinyao lowered her head, she was taller than the four princes, and she happened to meet the four princes who were glaring at her.
I saw that this kid is still handsome, with big eyes, a round face, and delicate facial features, and I can't find fault with it, if I want to say that the only fly in the ointment is that there is a tear mole in the corner of his eye.
If the woman has a tear mole, there is a suspicion of Kefu; Although there is nothing particularly bad about the man's tear mole, it also makes the whole face look more flawed.
Aunt Ma saw that the fourth prince was glaring at Su Jinyao, afraid that this kid would be disobedient and come over to make trouble, so she simply scared him and said, "Fourth prince, I said it all, this girl is a disciple of the divine doctor, don't provoke her." Not only can she treat the Queen Mother, but the needle in her hand is also very powerful. You mess with her, she stabs you. ”
"Hmph." The fourth prince is a child in the end, and he should be spoiled by (jiāo), so his mind is not so mature, but he looks even more naïve than children of the same age. After a "hum", he stopped glaring at Su Jinyao, and looked at Xi Shen'er again.
Xi Shen'er immediately panicked, and hurriedly hid behind Su Jinyao's (shēn).
Su Jinyao guessed that it should be the fourth prince (diàn) who hit the joy pendant that day, and now that she saw him look at him again, she protected the joy pendant behind (shēn). Su Jinyao protected Xi Shen'er, and naturally she was glared at by the four princes. Su Jinyao was not afraid of him, and glared back, but Xiluo'er was really afraid, and grabbed Su Jinyao's sleeve, (shēn) was shrunk.
There is a rule that boys bully girls, that is, the more you are afraid of him, the more he will bully you. The fourth prince obviously has such a temper, and when he saw that Xi Shen'er was about to tremble, he took another step forward and grimaced at Xi Zhuo'er.
Then he suddenly shouted: "Xiluo'er, why don't you kneel down to say hello when you see this prince?" ”
"Four, the fourth prince (diàn)." Xi Shen'er stammered, and then "plopped" and really knelt on the ground, and said hello to the four princes with his head on the ground.
Su Jinyao didn't expect that Xi Shen'er's always silent (xìng) son would become so slave (xìng), and he actually had no backbone at all?
The fourth prince became proud, and said to Aunt Ma: "Let Xiluo'er come to accompany me for a day, and I will endorse it well." ”
Aunt Ma looked at the pendant who was still kneeling on the ground and sighed. Said: "Xi Shen'er, you are a slave after all, the four princes asked you to serve, that is your blessing, today you will go with the four princes to endorse."
