Chapter 36: The Exile
"Did you encounter something when you were in such a hurry?" An Zheyu asked with concern.
"Well, the millet porridge boiled for you is going to be cold. Li Wanqing glared at him, then took the tray from Shuang'er's hand and continued, "Let's go over there to eat." ”
An Zheyu nodded, showing a happy smile.
"You can drink some too. He blew the porridge in the spoon and sent it to Li Wanqing's mouth, but the other party pushed it back as when he was on the nameless mountain, and said, "This is for you to boil, you know that I don't like to drink this the most." ”
"Then I won't eat it anymore. An Zheyu put the spoon in the bowl, looking a little sullen.
"Why, don't you like to drink my millet porridge the most?" Li Wanqing was a little flustered in her eyes.
"Because you don't like it. ”
Hearing him say this, Li Wanqing was stunned for a moment, but she immediately returned to her normal state and said, "You don't have to follow my preferences." ”
"Tease you, I can't get tired of the millet porridge you boiled in my life. He smiled indulgently, and then picked up the spoon and scooped a full spoonful into his mouth. Li Wanqing smiled happily when she saw it.
"How is grandfather today?" is her main concern right now.
"Well, my mother-in-law's medicine seems to be right. My grandfather hasn't coughed up blood for half a day. He replied as he drank the porridge, and for some reason, the porridge seemed to be sweeter than before, and he was a little reluctant to put down the spoon.
"Really, that's great!"
Seeing her so excited, An Zheyu thought she was happy for her grandfather, so she pinched her ears and smiled happily.
And Li Wanqing was thinking in her heart, it seemed that it was time to act.
She used the excuse that she was a little dizzy from the wind, and was helped back to Anwan Courtyard by Shuang'er.
An Zheyu was originally going to accompany her, but she urged her to go to Qinglan Courtyard.
She had to arrange the next step, and she couldn't do it with him.
"What is Miss going to do?"
As soon as she returned to the yard, Shuang'er couldn't wait to ask. Li Wanqing hurriedly looked around, motioning for her to go back to her room.
And in the old prince's bedroom in Qinglan Courtyard, Junzi appeared out of nowhere and came to the old prince's bedside.
"How?" asked the old prince.
"His Royal Highness King Yi has left to go back to the imperial city, and before leaving, he did go to the garden to meet Orchid's mother-in-law, looking at his expression, the mother-in-law seems to be very important to him. And... And he also took the opportunity to hug his mother-in-law. ”
Junko coughed lightly, always feeling that the picture at that time was a little unreal.
His Royal Highness the dignified King Yi actually went to take advantage of an old woman, and said something about his beloved or something, but he didn't listen to it because he was too far away. I just think it's incredible!
"What is the reaction of His Royal Highness?"
"His Royal Highness seems to have known about this and blessed His Royal Highness King Yi. ”
"This stupid boy ......" the old prince shook his head a little helplessly, "You don't care about this matter for now, from now on, you have to secretly protect the safety of your mother-in-law, and you can't let her have any mistakes, understand?"
"The subordinates understand, it's just that you ...... the old prince" Junko was a little worried.
"It's okay, they won't touch this king for the time being. You just need to protect your mother-in-law and Miss Ah Ling. ”
"Grandfather, can my grandson come in?"
An Zheyu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
The old prince waved his hand and motioned for Shunzi to go down first.
Junzi bent down and saluted and returned the same way, it turned out that there was a secret passage in the cabinet behind the old prince's bed, only he and Shunzi knew here, and even An Zheyu didn't know.
"Come in. ”
Seeing that Junko had left and the cabinet had been restored, he said to the door.
"Didn't you just come here, why did you come here again? The old prince reproached him.
"My grandson misses my grandfather and has come to take care of you. He poured a glass of water, and he had tried the temperature of the water, and it was lukewarm.
Miss Tang once explained that her grandfather could not drink tea, but could only drink some warm and cool water.
"Have you seen Granny Orchid?" said the old prince, taking a sip of the teacup.
"Seen it in the garden before. ”
"No matter what happens in the future, you have to protect your mother-in-law, you know?"
"My grandson understands that my mother-in-law is my great benefactor of King An's mansion, and my grandson should be treated kindly. ”
"It's not enough to treat her well, you must protect her for the rest of her life. It's an order!"
An Zheyu was a little puzzled, why did his grandfather care so much about this little girl who pretended to be an orchid mother-in-law, but he promised others, but it was not good to tell it in front of his grandfather.
It's just that I don't know what the girl's purpose is, but she has such a means to make her grandfather so attentive to her.
"Why are you stunned, did you hear what I said?"
"Yes, my grandson will take the order. ”
"Old lord, it's time for you to take your medicine. ”
It was the voice of the old butler, and I saw him come in from the door with a tray and stand respectfully in front of the bed.
"Mother-in-law Orchid, didn't she personally deliver this medicine every day?" the old prince frowned slightly.
"Old prince, my mother-in-law said that An Shizi was here, so she wouldn't come. ”
"The king knows. The old prince took the medicine bowl, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
While drinking the medicine, he secretly observed his grandson's reaction. Sure enough, the guy frowned, too, and seemed a little dazed.
It seems that he really doesn't understand the heart of his daughter's family. I don't know how he and Li Wanqing came together.
Thinking of this, the old prince felt more and more that it was time to drive Li Wanqing away from Zheyu's side. In the long run, he was afraid that his grandson would also be assassinated to death by them.
。。。。。。。。。。
Night fell, but Tang Wanwan did not feel sleepy at all.
Thinking that tomorrow will start implementing their plan, I don't know if I will be able to get out of it......
"Miss, let's go rest. Lingzhi made the bed and came to call her.
"Can't sleep. ”
"There's a tough battle tomorrow, how can you deal with them if you don't rest? Go to sleep. Lingzhi came over and pulled her.
Tang Wanwan didn't know how long he had been sitting, he only felt that it was quiet outside, and it seemed that the people had also rested.
She sighed and stood up to move her numb legs. But there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Mother-in-law, I'm Xiaomian. ”
"Come in. Tang Wanwan glanced at Lingzhi, Lingzhi walked out of the bedroom and went to the outside to open the door, and saw Xiaomian standing at the door with a sachet.
"What's the matter?" Lingzhi asked impatiently.
"Let her in. After Tang Wanwan finished speaking, he coughed deliberately.
Xiao Mian smiled sweetly at Lingzhi, and Lingzhi turned sideways to let her in.
"Is there anything wrong with the little cotton girl?" Tang Wanwan's orchid mother-in-law pretended to yawn on purpose, forcing herself to cover her eyes with a thin layer of mist.
"Xiaomian damn it, it's so noisy that her mother-in-law is resting. ”
"It's okay, the old body hasn't rested yet. What is this?"
"Oh, this is the princess Niangniang in order to thank her mother-in-law for saving the old prince, specially embroidered this sachet to give to her mother-in-law, saying that the medicinal materials in it can help mother-in-law sleep. ”
"The princess has a heart, but... Why did you send it?" Tang Wanwan deliberately made a difficulty.
Sure enough, Xiaomian was a little weak-hearted, but in an instant, she adjusted her mentality, and said sweetly: "This was originally sent by Sister Shuang'er, the personal maid of the princess and concubine, but she was afraid that the old prince would blame her, so she didn't dare to enter the Qinglan Courtyard, so she asked the slave maid to bring it in and give it to her mother-in-law." ”
"I see, thank you for me. ”
"Yes, the slave and maid retired first, and the mother-in-law rested earlier. ”
Tang Wanwan nodded and motioned for Lingzhi to send her out.
"Miss must check it carefully, it is not a harmful poison. After seeing Xiaomian leave, Lingzhi turned around and walked back.
"Forgive them for not daring to be so blatant. Having said that, Tang Wanwan still carefully picked up the sachet, which was just some ordinary medicinal materials that calmed the nerves and helped him sleep, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Lingzhi was still a little worried, so he leaned over to his nose and smelled it, and it was no problem.
"Sew it up, don't let others think that we live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. After Tang Wanwan finished speaking, he prepared to go to bed.
"Sew again tomorrow, miss, I'm too sleepy. Lingzhi sorted out the sachet and put it in Tang Wanwan's dressing box.
This girl is spoiled by her, and from time to time she is lazy. For the sake of her getting up early and not delaying her business, Tang Wanwan acquiesced.
It was late, and she urged Lingzhi to hurry up and warm the quilt. She is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid of the cold.
"Why is it so stinky, Ganoderma lucidum, did you fart?"
Tang Wanwan woke up from his sleep and smelled a foul smell.
She thought it was Lingzhi who had farted, and frowned a little dissatisfied.
It's just that she screamed several times in a row, but Lingzhi didn't respond.
In the past, whenever she screamed, the girl would immediately bounce up from the bed and ask her if she wanted to drink water or go to the toilet. Why didn't she respond at all today?
"It's so cold!" Tang bent his nose and touched himself, but he didn't cover anything.
"When did this girl sleep so domineeringly, she rolled up the quilt, and she was not afraid of freezing her own young lady to death. ”
She closed her eyes and touched the warm quilt for a long time, and the bed board she touched was also empty, cold and hard.
She snapped her eyes open and sat up from the bed.
"It's so dark!"
I thought that this girl was really getting more and more sleepy, and she didn't light the candles when they went out, and rolled away the sheets and cotton wool, leaving her with a bare and convex bedboard.
"Isn't that right?" Tang Wanwan seemed to think of something, and once again reached out to touch the bed board under him.
"It's... Stones!"
She was startled at the thought of this, and she stretched out her legs and tried to reach out, but she came across something soft.
"Ahh
"Are you awake?"
A female voice sounded, but the voice was not Lingzhi's.
The other party seemed to have walked in from next door, and as soon as the words fell, several oil lamps lit up.
With the help of the light, Tang Wanwan saw clearly that he was in a cave!
"Where is this?"
She looked at the man, and saw that she was still twisting her waist as she stood there, and throwing her a wink or something from time to time.
It's just that she looks like she's in her thirties, and Tang Wanwan feels like a mountain in her stomach for no reason.
The woman spoke, and said in a very sinister voice: "This is the safe place of the slave family, and I specially invite my mother-in-law to come as a guest." ”
"That's not necessary, you better send the old body back. Tang Wanwan's heart was a little hairy, because she saw the other party's shadow reflected on the wall, she actually had a big hairy tail! And the one she accidentally kicked earlier was also a gray fox, but it looked as if she was asleep.
