Chapter 30: The Stars

After Gu Zi'an's assassination, King Xia was angry, but he was secretly happy. In particular, Gu Zi'an suspected that the cloth used by the masked man was a dyeing feature of Yan Rong, and King Xia was even more happy, which showed that Gu Zi'an was more and more interested in Yan Rong. This is a good thing for Great Xia.

The moon was clear and the night was deep, and most of the lights in the Rui Wang's Mansion had been extinguished.

Meng Yining and Gu Zi'an sat opposite each other by the charcoal brazier, and Chun Xia quietly waited beside them. Mars crackled like golden butterflies fluttering in the dark.

In this way, King Xia has to send more soldiers and horses. Queen Zhao and Yan Rong want you to die, but we can't do what they want. Meng Yining smiled and swallowed melon seeds.

Gu Zi'an's firelight illuminated his lowered eyes, and his face was dyed red.

"Spring and summer."

"Huh?"

"You go find some detoxified seven-leaf licorice and make it into pills." Gu Zi'an commanded. Yan Rong could never stop there, although they could only be ready to deal with more tricky scenes. Since it is impossible to kill it with force, it is very likely that a more insidious method will be adopted. Seven-leaf licorice is the best in licorice. It is the most suitable precaution for the current situation where the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open.

Chunxia opened her mouth and smiled, her tone was gentle like a sister: "There are still some left here, enough for this while, I will make pills tonight, and I can already give you some at noon tomorrow." ”

After she recovered from her injuries, she was always a little restless. And the work of preparing the antidote pill just distracted her, and she had something to do.

"Crackle."

Meng Yining originally stretched out his hand to bake the fire, but he was so fascinated by listening to it that he forgot to measure it for a while, and the sparks splashed on his hands. With a shake of his hand, the beads on his wrist touched the charcoal basin and made a crisp sound.

She suddenly thought of the scream this afternoon, and casually asked, "Did you see anyone today?" When Jing Chi suddenly pulled me, I seemed to hear a girl's scream. ”

After a pause, "It's familiar." ”

Chun Xia comforted: "Maybe I've been too suspicious lately, and besides, the screams of all girls are not the same, they are all like cat scratches." Don't be too sensitive. ”

Meng Yining nodded, the nervous nerves that had been tense recently had indeed made her a little tired.

Gu Zi'an patted her shoulder, "Go back to sleep." ”

————————————————

The two days were peaceful.

Meng Yining got the spring and summer seven-leaf licorice detoxification pills, and regularly took one for herself every day in case of emergency. Le Yi heard the news of the assassination the day before yesterday, so he came over to give her two good things.

"Here you go." Le Yi held up five or six sachets in front of her, some of which were embroidered with okra flowers and birds, some embroidered with bamboo leaves and streams, as well as ball plum blossoms and crickets.

"You're pretty fresh, but you can't get rid of the folk customs, anyway, it's not my sister's craft." She asked with a wicked smile, "You can't embroider it, right?" ”

Le Yi saw her expression: "I bought it on the street." ”

"Why did you give it to me?"

"The spices are from the villa, and your sister mixes them herself. You, Gu Shizi, and a few important people around you had better wear this day and night. ”

Meng Yining raised his eyebrows: "How?" Is it safe? ”

Le Yi smiled and said, "You're so smart, you guessed right!" "I pointed to the sachet again" "I used this kind of worldly needlework to be inconspicuous, as if it were a casual thing"

After speaking, he turned back to the inner room and shouted, "Son." ”

You still have a son?!

Meng Yining listened to the voice and suddenly felt a little awkward. He turned to look too. The curtain in the back room was quietly lifted, and then a small figure crept out. Meng Yining frowned slightly, where did he come out with a ...... as big as his palm Monkey? When the monkey saw Le Yi, he used his feet at the same time, and quickly climbed along Le Yi's black clothes to the table.

Meng Yining had never seen such a funny thing, and stretched out a finger to tease. Before he could touch the monkey's furry brownish-gray face, his finger was caught by it fiercely. A man and a monkey stared at each other with wide eyes.

"It's a monkey!" Meng Yining asked uncertainly.

After all, if you don't see it walking on two legs and climbing on all fours, you'll probably think it's a street rat.

Le Yi looked at Meng Yining's appearance of wanting to touch but not daring to touch it, and laughed: "You won't bite, you can touch it at ease." As he spoke, he gave the monkey a look and asked it to walk up to Meng Yining. The monkey seemed to understand human speech, and really ran in front of her, standing up, rolling his black eyes, and putting his hand on his chest. "Snap" and sat down by the teacup.

The little monkey sat exactly as tall as the tea bowl.

Meng Yining stretched out his hand a little cautiously, for fear of breaking the little monkey. It cooperatively picked up her fingers and pestled them against herself. The fluff is soft and soft, like a snowflake in winter.

The scene was a little weird for a while.

"What's it called?"

"Lingfeng Mountain Villa Zhiduoxing."

"It's called Zhiduoxing?"

"No, it's called the stars."

The name sounded like a maid's name. Meng Yining suddenly thought of the conversation just now, and opened his mouth to ask, "You haven't said the role of the sachet yet?" ”

Le Yi teased the stars with the brewed tea leaves. The little monkey put the tea on his head, like a small hat, and staggered around the table.

"The spice was made by your sister, and it was originally your sister's partner, but I borrowed it this time. Stars are sensitive to this smell, and no matter how far away they are, they can find the source if there are traces. So, if something happens, it can lead me to you very quickly. Le Yi explained.

Meng Yining couldn't see that this little monkey had such a huge ability. However, the little monkey didn't understand what she was thinking, so she twisted her body and tore the tea leaves into pieces, and threw them into Meng Yining's teacup.

Then he looked at her complacently.

Meng Yining looked at it, and then looked at Lesu with a helpless face.

"It's making you tea."

"Huh?"

"There is a kind of herb in the mountain that needs to be soaked in water, taken out, torn into pieces, and then soaked. In this way, the medicinal properties can be fully utilized. Your sister used to drink a lot in order to regulate her body, and he was in charge of making tea. ”

The little monkey couldn't understand Le Yi's words, but he could feel that he was speaking for himself.

With his head held high, his mouth grunting and his tail wagging in his mouth.

Le Yi took out the small nut from his pocket, took it, sat on the smooth table and began to carefully pull out the kernel from the crack in the shell and chew it carefully.

Meng Yining wanted to ask, your son is a monkey, so what are you? But still swallowed the words. Watching one person and one monkey playing around, I feel that there is the warmth of home. casually took out a piece of tea from the teacup and handed it to Zhi Duoxing.
