Xi Shen'er let out a "hmm" and bowed her head silently.

Su Jinyao stopped, smoothed the hair from her ears behind her ears for Xiluo'er, and said, "He may not be able to express his heart yet, you try to get along with him slowly." Even if you don't mention affection, at least you should thank him for taking care of you in the palace. ”

In fact, Su Jinyao also knew that if it weren't for the four princes taking good care of Xi Zhu'er in the palace, a little girl like Xi Zhu'er would really not have a comfortable life.

Not to mention being slapped a few times by Yuguiren, being killed by someone and thrown into the well, no one will look for her.

Xi Shen'er still didn't speak, nodded silently, and obediently followed Su Jinyao.

It was the fourth prince, and when he saw that Su Jinyao was following him, he was a little at a loss. I was sitting on a chair and waiting, but I got up and turned around twice.

Su Jinyao saw it in her eyes and asked with a smile, "Have the four princes eaten?" ”

"Eat, eat, eat." When the four princes answered, their eyes were all looking at Xi Shen'er.

Su Jinyao sighed and said, "I thought you didn't eat, so you can sit down and eat with me." Xi Shen'er go serve the food and serve me breakfast.

”

"Imperial sister-in-law, I, I didn't eat enough just now." When the fourth prince heard Su Jinyao say that Xi Shen'er was serving the meal, he immediately sat down, and waited eagerly with his eyes.

Su Jinyao smiled, nodded at Xiluo'er, and said, "Go ahead, take more, and bring out the share for the fourth prince." ”

Xi Shen'er agreed, turned around and walked away quickly. The fourth prince kept looking at her and walked away, but he didn't take his eyes back.

Su Jinyao coughed deliberately, pulled back the eyes of the fourth prince, and asked, "Didn't you come here early in the morning just to see my personal little maid?" ”

"Oh, no, no, no." Only then did the fourth prince remember what was going on, and said, "When I went back yesterday, I experimented with several methods to see what method I could use to lure that Gu worm out." But I've tried everything I can think of, and the variables are too great to guarantee that everything will be foolproof. ”

Hearing this, Su Jinyao frowned and said, "It's not a foolproof method, it's definitely not going to work." The safety of Xiuxiu is the most important. ”

The fourth prince nodded and said, "Yes, I know it too." Later, I thought about whether I could test it with other Gu worms, and finally found a relatively special Gu King. If you can cultivate this Gu King into a Divine Gu King, you can let it directly eat the Gu worm left in Lin Xiuxiu's body, and then summon the Divine Gu King. ”

Su Jinyao thought for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Then what's so special about this Gu King?" ”

"The imperial sister-in-law is really smart, and she immediately thought of the key." The fourth prince praised and continued: "This Gu King was cultivated by my mother. Non-toxic, it can stay beautiful and increase longevity, which is a relatively gentle and well-behaved one. It's just that this Gu worm is troublesome to raise, and food is particularly difficult to find, so it only eats the best snow lotus. ”

The best snow lotus?

Su Jinyao asked, "It's not difficult to find in this palace, right?" Or is this Gu King eating a lot of food? ”

The fourth prince shook his head and took out a jade bottle from his waist. Pull the cork off the bottle and pour out a small snow-white worm the size of a thumb nail from it.

At first glance, the worm looked like a half-round pearl. But if you look closely, the insect is not shining with fluorescent light, but a soft snow color, as if it is covered with a layer of frost and snow.

Such a clean and beautiful Gu worm, Su Jinyao saw it for the first time.

Su Jinyao couldn't help but reach out and lightly touched the little insect with her fingertips, and found that it was cool all over, and it was like a pinched snowball.

The fourth prince said: "This little thing hasn't eaten for three or four months. I'm so hungry that I'd rather eat some dew than anything else. Because the best snow lotus is so hard to find, it is not the kind that can be fed to it in our imperial doctor's workshop. Moreover, if you want to cultivate it from the Gu King to the Divine Gu King, I am afraid that the number of top-grade snow lotuses needed will not be small. ”

Of course, Su Jinyao also knew that the more advanced the Gu worm was, the stricter the requirements for food. If they can't find the best and refuse to eat, they will starve to death.

Some reluctantly eat some other omnivorous, or devour other Gu worms, although there is no change in a short period of time, but after a long time, it will be downgraded, and even produce a violent backlash.

Su Jinyao had to ask, "Then besides, is there no other Gu King who can cure the Gu in Xiuxiu's body?" ”

The fourth prince shook his head and said, "I can't find any other way at the moment. If you cultivate another Gu King who specializes in dealing with that Gu, I'm afraid it will be too late in time. ”

You never come back

Yes, time is also a big issue. Lin Xiuxiu is not a Gu master, so she can't raise Gu in her body at all. If the Gu worm remained in her body for any more day, it would cause unknown damage to her.

In desperation, Su Jinyao said: "At present, I can only collect the best snow lotus to feed this Gu, right?" ”

"That's right." The fourth prince nodded and said, "However, it refuses to eat the snow lotus in the palace, how many real snow lotuses can there be?" ”

After speaking, the fourth prince also sighed, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Su Jinyao thought for a while and said, "Then can you give me this Snow Lotus Gu?" I managed to find the best snow lotus to feed it, and try to cultivate it into a Divine Gu King as much as possible. ”

"Yes." The fourth prince almost didn't hesitate, and put the clean and beautiful Snow Lotus Gu in the jade bottle and taught it to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao smiled at him and said, "Don't worry." I once promised your mother that I would give her an egg of the Divine Gu King, which could be used for her beauty. This Divine Gu King of mine is extraordinary, and its egg rejuvenation effect is definitely even better than that of this Snow Lotus Gu. ”

When the fourth prince heard this, he just hooked the corners of his mouth. It seems that he wants to laugh but can't laugh, and it looks a little bit lonely as a little boy.

Su Jinyao thought about it for a while, and understood why he looked like this. He asked, "Are you sure your mother won't come back?" ”

"I don't think I'll be coming back. But she followed my brother, and I was more at ease. After the fourth prince finished speaking, he lowered his head and stopped speaking at all.

Su Jinyao looked at the appearance of the four princes, and suddenly felt that Yugui was actually quite successful. Her eldest son became the king of Qingfan, and now the younger son wants to be the crown prince of the Cloud Dome Kingdom, although the Yugui people have been used, but now it is finally Yunkai Yueming.

The atmosphere was just a little silent, and Xi Shen'er came back with a large tray. A sweet aroma, with a slight bitterness of medicinal food. The taste of this breakfast is really something special.

The fourth prince raised his breath and sniffed, smiled at Xiluo'er, and asked, "What is this delicious, such a sweet taste?" ”

"The bean buns of red bean paste, the purple potato sugar porridge, and the snow fungus boiled in rock sugar are all loved by His Royal Highness." Xi Zhuo'er said as she put down the tray in her hand and put the food in front of the four princes in the same way.

Then he brought a bowl of medicinal porridge and put it in front of Su Jinyao, and said, "Master, your breakfast only has a bowl of medicinal porridge and a boiled egg." It's a little lighter, but it's also prepared according to your recipe. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, this really made the breakfast recipe she had written before. Although it is light and may not taste good, it is excellent for the body.

But as soon as Su Jinyao picked up the spoon, she saw that the corners of the fourth prince's mouth twitched slightly, holding a bean paste bag in one hand and a porcelain spoon in the other, but he didn't move.

Su Jinyao asked, "Fourth Prince, didn't Xi Shen'er say that these are your favorite foods?" You just said that if you don't have enough to eat, eat quickly. You don't have to be polite in front of the imperial sister-in-law. ”

"yes." The fourth prince nodded, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile, and put a mouthful of purple potato sugar porridge in his mouth, this time his whole face was wrinkled and squeezed into a ball.

"Good, delicious." The fourth prince squeezed out a few words from between his teeth again: "I love to eat." ”

"Poof" Xi Shen'er finally couldn't help laughing. But after laughing, she immediately covered her mouth and ran out.

But even if she ran fast enough

I can still hear her "giggling" laughter.

When Xiluo'er went out, the fourth prince put down the spoon and bean paste bag in his hand, swallowed his saliva, and picked up the kettle on the table to a glass of boiled water to rinse his mouth.

"Fourth Prince, what are you ......doing" Su Jinyao couldn't help but wonder, which play did the Four Princes play?

The fourth prince had obviously just eaten sugar porridge, but at this time, his face was even more ugly than that of eating bitter gourd. said: "I hate sweets the most, and it's Xiluo'er who plays tricks on me." ”

"And you still eat?" Su Jinyao raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Are you just trying to make her happy?" ”

"Sort of." The fourth prince said, looked at the bean paste buns on the table again, and then shook off a clean and snow-white handkerchief from his arms and wrapped a plate of bean paste buns into it.

Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You gave it to Xiluo'er?" ”

"Hmm. I don't have a sweet tooth, but she does. When I was in the palace, I would order a sweet treat for every meal, wrap it up and give it to her. The fourth prince said, his eyes were full of longing and aftertaste, as if he had returned to the original days.

Su Jinyao looked at the action of the fourth prince carefully wrapping the handkerchief, as well as the bright eyes when he said this, and suddenly felt that this kid was really cute.

Su Jinyao pointed to the handkerchief wrapped in his hand and said, "Since it's all wrapped, you can send it to Xizhuo'er." Don't rush back, just play with her in the garden for a while. ”

When the four princes heard this, they immediately ran away with a dazzled smile.

Su Jinyao looked at his back as if he was about to fly, smiled and shook his head, feeling that this kid was pure and cute, and his heart and eyes were not bad, which was really good.

After eating, Su Jinyao went to Mr. Cheng again to discuss the treatment methods of Mingcui and the Lin siblings.

But the situation is like that, Su Jinyao has no problem for the time being, and Mr. Cheng can't think of too effective a way, so he can only try to maintain it.

However, Su Jinyao also took out the Snow Lotus Gu and showed it to Mr. Cheng, but Mr. Cheng's research on Gu worms was less than half of Su Jinyao's, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Su Jinyao had no choice but to ask Qiu Ying to issue an order, so that all the spies under his command and shops everywhere should pay attention to collecting the best snow lotus.

As long as it can be determined that it is the best snow lotus, no matter what the price is, it must be purchased and sent to Su Jinyao quickly.

Su Jinyao didn't believe it, even if she couldn't collect it in the palace, couldn't she collect some with the veins on the rivers and lakes?

By the time these things were arranged, another day had passed.

Seeing that the sun was setting, lanterns were lit in the house. The housekeeper also came to ask Su Jinyao twice when she was going to eat.

Su Jinyao asked the housekeeper to wait in the name of not being hungry.

But in fact, Su Jinyao was not hungry, but was waiting for Gu Xuebin to come back.

And Su Jinyao really didn't understand, how did Gu Xuebin suddenly become the one who dodged?

If there is a conflict between husband and wife, shouldn't it be resolved as soon as possible? Why didn't Gu Xuebin show up?

Until the lights in the whole house were turned on, Su Jinyao's stomach began to scream. She had to pass the meal.

But until Su Jinyao waited slowly while eating, and finally finished dinner, she still didn't see Gu Xuebin come back.

"Well, if you don't come back, you should never come back." Su Jinyao gritted her teeth and sulked at herself.

Night comes and morning, is he a flower thief?

Because she was holding back a breath in her heart, Su Jinyao lay down and went to sleep early. He also asked A-Ning and Autumn Shadow to come in and take turns keeping vigil for her outside the dormitory.

Ah Ning and Qiu Ying also knew that His Royal Highness had not shown up, and the master was angry.

But the two of them didn't know what Gu Xuebin was doing in the palace in the morning, and they wanted to persuade Su Jinyao but were afraid that it would backfire, so they had to follow Su Jinyao's wishes and keep vigil outside.

Although Su Jinyao held her breath, she slept quickly. She has been getting a good night's sleep, also to be able to stay in top shape.

What's more, there are some things that can't be really angry, and you can't deny Gu Xuebin's kindness to her just because of a few words.

Su Jinyao's breathing stabilized, and Qiu Ying and A Ning knew that the master was really asleep, so they sat down face to face with each chair. The two looked at each other but didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of waking Su Jinyao.

It wasn't until late at night that Autumn Shadow and A-Ning closed their eyes and secretly breathed for a while before they heard two footsteps coming from far and near.

A-Ning opened his eyes first and said softly: "It's His Highness and Mo." ”

Autumn Shadow also opened her eyes and nodded, but both of them began to hesitate to open the door again.

But before they could think about it, the footsteps had already reached the door. There was a faint knock on the door.

A-Ning listened to the rhythmic knock on the door, looked at Qiu Ying, and said in a low voice: "This is the signal of the shadow guard, I want to go out for a while." ”

Autumn Shadow said "hey", and A-Ning had already opened the door and went out.

A-Ning walked on the front foot, and Gu Xuebin entered the door with the back foot. Then he stood in the doorway and looked at Autumn Shadow with his hands on his shoulders.

Qiu Ying was looked at by Gu Xuebin, the corners of her mouth twitched, and her eyebrows jumped "suddenly". Then he looked back at the direction of the inner bed, sighed secretly, and said in his heart: Master, it's not that I don't stay, it's really that I'm too embarrassed here.

After thinking about it, Qiu Ying walked over to Gu Xuebin, bypassed him and went out, and closed the door with a playful backhand.

Gu Xuebin raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth turned up into a good-looking arc, and he latched his backhand and walked towards the inner bed.

The oil lamp on the table burst into a spark, and the dancing light reflected Su Jinyao's sleeping face soft and beautiful.

Gu Xuebin sat lightly on the edge of the bed, stroked Su Jinyao's cheek with his big hand, gently touched her chin along her thin little face, picked up her chin with one finger and leaned over to kiss it.

"Huh?" Su Jinyao opened her eyes in a daze, and in front of her was Gu Xuebin's enlarged handsome face.

Her consciousness was awake all of a sudden, but before her body could react, she was picked up by this guy and hugged her tightly in her arms and kissed her fiercely.

Su Jinyao was angry, resentful, and unwilling, but the little fist pushing or twisting couldn't shake Gu Xuebin's kiss, and in the end, it was melted by his enthusiasm and bloomed with a puddle of spring water.

However, what made Su Jinyao even more crazy was the morning.

The tiredness of the night made Su Jinyao feel as if she was falling apart, and she didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning.

The joints, bones, and muscles are all rusty, and you can hear a "creaking" sound when you move.

But this is not what makes Su Jinyao feel the most and eggy, the most special thing that makes her unbearable is that Gu Xuebin has disappeared again.

He was like a flower thief who broke into the boudoir at night. Come in the night, go in the morning, and disappear without a trace at dawn.

Su Jinyao didn't even know when he left. I only vaguely remember when the sky was about to dawn,

The guy was still writhing his back.

Su Jinyao gritted her teeth, endured the pain all over her body and got up, bathed, changed her clothes, and cleaned herself up...... Just sit in a chair and gasp for breath.

She was so tired and tired that she sat idly with a sore femur even after breakfast, and finally had to lie on the soft couch and make up for sleep, and slept until after noon.

Su Jinyao took a bite of the chicken thighs specially prepared by the kitchen, and said vaguely while munching: "Okay, there is a kind of you coming back tonight." I don't believe you're made of iron. ”

It is said that what to eat and what to supplement, Su Jinyao didn't believe that if she ate four chicken legs, her legs would be sore.

She doesn't believe that Gu Xuebin can still "commit murder" every night? It is said that there are only tired cows, no ploughed fields, and we will see you in bed at night if you have the ability.

After sleeping for most of the day, Su Jinyao was finally able to go out in the afternoon to see the Lin sisters and brothers and Mingcui.

All three of them are in good shape. Of course, Mingcui has been stunned and still, which is not bad compared to the mania that came back on the first day.

But Mr. Cheng is worried that this kind of illusion is better than venting, and Su Jinyao is also worried that this will cause problems, but there is no way.

The only thing you can do is wait. Su Jinyao was waiting for an opportunity, and the wall fell down and everyone pushed it.

That night, Gu Xuebin did not come back.

Su Jinyao stayed up until dawn with her eyes open. With a big black circle under his eyes, he asked the housekeeper to knock on the side, and only then did he know that Gu Xuebin was back, but he was staying in the study. But I went out again in the morning.

Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and then grinded her teeth fiercely again. What happened to this guy's raid the night before? Do you want to do a day, rest a day, and recuperate? Do you want to have some wolfberries and drink them in ecstasy?
