"Little old man, little old man, where are you!" Ji Qiang looked at the dark flower garden, thinking of the dark days in the cold palace in her previous life, and a chill came out of her heart.

Just when Ji Qiang was still a little scared in her heart, she was suddenly pulled by someone, and a faint fragrance of pear blossoms wafted in, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." The familiar breath and familiar tone suddenly made Ji Qiang feel a little relieved.

Xia Jingnian pulled Ji Qiang into a small thatched hut not far away, and after lighting the candles, Ji Qiang's world was restored to light, and the fear in her heart completely subsided, but Ji Qiang didn't know why Xia Jingnian's appearance made her feel unprecedentedly relieved.

"Are you afraid of the dark?" Xia Jingnian frowned, and just then listened to Ji Qiang's helpless shout, which made his heart also entangle, fortunately, he came back to see if the osmanthus brewed in Bai Shi today was sealed, otherwise with the back of Zhao Qiao's little old man's ear, Ji Qiang would be scared to death, and he might not appear.

Faced with Xia Jingnian's question, Ji Qiang sighed in her heart, and she didn't know why she could lie to anyone, but Xia Jingnian didn't want to, but she didn't know how to explain it, saying that her days in the cold palace in her previous life were too dark, so she was afraid of the dark?

Reborn to take revenge in the back life, how absurd, how could anyone believe it, Ji Qiang didn't want to tell the truth, and she had to be questioned, so she didn't want to look at Xia Jingnian, she just stared at her skirt and didn't speak.

Looking at Ji Qiang's appearance, Xia Jingnian's heart wrinkled together with her brows, isn't she the most favored eldest lady in the Guogong Mansion?

But now her expression seems to have appeared after experiencing a lot of pain, how many secrets does she have, and what grievances have she suffered? Xia Jingnian's heart couldn't help but hurt a little.

After half a ring, Xia Jingnian sighed slightly, and didn't want to say anything, no matter what happened before, he would not allow Ji Qiang to be bullied or injured in the future!

"Why did you come back tonight?"

Hearing that Xia Jingnian was not asking why he was afraid of the dark, Ji Qiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied, "I want to ask Zhao Qiao, can you see if there are other harmful things added to this rouge" Ji Qiang took out the rouge from her cuffs and handed it to Xia Jingnian.

Xia Jingnian took the rouge, opened it and sniffed it, and then Jun's eyebrows furrowed deeply, "It's really different." ”

Then Xia Jingnian handed the rouge to Ji Qiang, looked at Ji Qiang with some concern and asked, "Can you be afraid of being alone here?" ”

Ji Qiang shook her head, "There is light, no." ”

Xia Jingnian nodded and said, "Come back soon, don't run around." ”

Ji Qiang nodded, and then watched Xia Jingnian leave, if Ji Qiang guessed well, it was Xia Jingnian who went to find Zhao Qiao's little old man and came to look at the rouge for him, and within half a pillar of incense, Xia Jingnian came back with Zhao Qiao.

Zhao Qiao looked at Ji Qiang in the thatched house, and rolled his eyes, the current Xia Jingnian really only went out to find himself when Ji Qiang asked for himself, but he brought the opposite sex and inhumanity to the extreme.

"Little apprentice, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Zhao Qiao came in, he pouted, moved a stool and sat down at random, then looked at Ji Qiang and asked.

In this flowergarden, there has never been any difference between dignity and inferiority, royal relatives and nobles, as long as they can enter the flowergarden, they are all friends, so Ji Qiang not only does not hate Zhao Qiao's casual attitude, but also loves this way of getting along.

"Help me see this."

Zhao Qiao pursed his lips, but he still obediently took it and sniffed it, and then sighed a few times, but he didn't speak.

Xia Jingnian frowned and patted Zhao Qiao's shoulder, "Don't sell it, say it quickly." ”

Zhao Qiao rolled his eyes, how could he make this friend who never knew how to give face? And to be called to drink and do all kinds of things.

"Someone else gave it to you?"

Ji Qiang looked at Zhao Qiao and nodded, she really wanted to know if this rouge was poisonous!

"Then you have to stay away from this person who sent you rouge, which contains the snowflake grass of the Western Regions, born in the land of heat, if you are only poisoned by this snowflake grass, it is easy to solve, but if you touch the summer grass when you are poisoned, then the Daluo Immortal will not be able to heal it, and all the places coated with snowflake grass will slowly fester, until it is full of devastation."

"Alabaster and summer grass are used together to really cause toxicity?" Ji Qiang looked at Zhao Qiao and asked rhetorically.

Zhao Qiao took a big sip, the wine he had just cheated from Xia Jingnian, and nodded.

"And where will you meet Natsukusa?" Ji Qiang continued to ask.

Zhao Qiao rolled his eyes, looking at Ji Qiang, who didn't even know Xia Cao, Zhao Qiao was a little afraid that Ji Qiang and Xia Jingnian had learned to brew osmanthus brewing.

"Wine." Xia Jingnian said.

Zhao Qiao patted Xia Jingnian's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile, "That's right!" ”

Compared with Zhao Qiao's jokes, Xia Jingnian's brows furrowed deeply, who is so vicious? This is a rouge used by women, which is usually used when going out, and Ji Qiang is the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, and she often goes in and out of various banquets, so is it possible that she will not drink alcohol? Sooner or later, it will be quietly tricked.

It turned out to be wine, no wonder this rouge was sent the day before the birthday banquet, no wonder Gu Hanyan had to accompany her to the birthday banquet by herself, with her identity, going to this kind of banquet would be toasted by many people, and there would always be a toast that she couldn't stop, so she would be poisoned unconsciously.

"Who gave it?" Xia Jingnian's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous essence, looked at the rouge in Zhao Qiao's hand, and asked.

"It's a Miss Cheng Fu, I'm going to hold a birthday banquet in a few days, I want to go to her birthday banquet for some reasons, and then the day before the birthday banquet, I sent someone to send this box of rouge over, saying that she was saying hello to me." Ji Qiang raised her eyebrows and said truthfully.

"Miss Chengfu? Lord Minyu? Xia Jingnian's brows furrowed deeply, why didn't she know that Cheng Shuang was going to hold a birthday banquet? Besides, Cheng Shuang's temperament is not like someone who would be so ruthless in poisoning people.

Minyu County Lord she naturally remembered, she had seen it once at the banquet of the eldest princess of Rongyang before, and she saved her life, she was not a person who did not distinguish between good and evil, Ji Qiang shook her head and said, "It is the second daughter of Cheng Peng, a fourth-grade official." ”

Xia Jingnian's brows furrowed even deeper, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered who this Cheng Peng was, the daughter of the little Sipin, what kind of grudge and courage would hurt the second miss of the Guogong Mansion, there must be other black hands behind him, this second miss Cheng is just a knife.

With such a dark enemy, Xia Jingnian couldn't help but be a little worried about Ji Qiang's situation, but fortunately, he found something strange this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, but not every time it can be prevented! In this way, Xia Jingnian was even more worried about Ji Qiang's safety.

"Do you need me to help you?"

Ji Qiang shook her head, she had too many grudges on her body, and there were secrets that the world couldn't understand, no one could help her, and she didn't want Xia Jingnian to be involved in these rights and wrongs.

"I can."
