Chapter 41: A Warm Time
"Back to the prince. The subordinates have already inquired carefully. Lord Yi is not in the palace. I heard from the guards that he hasn't been back since he went out yesterday." It didn't take a while. The man in black hurried back. Told Nangong Ye the facts he had found.
"Maybe he'll never come back. You go down first. Don't talk about it to anyone." Nangong Ye's face flashed with a 'yin' smile that had succeeded in his plan. Count the hours. The time of Nangong Yi's poisoning is not far from twelve hours.
In other words, Nangong Yi is not far from death. He probably wouldn't have thought he did it until he died.
After the Man in Black leaves. Another black 'colored' figure stepped out of the hiding place with ease. After glancing angrily at Nangong Ye's dormitory. And quietly left.
"Lord Wang. I can't imagine that Nangong Ye is so ruthless." The black 'colored' figure just now was the night departure who went to the Nangong Night Sleeping Hall to inquire about the news. And Nangong Ye's conversation with the man in black. Yeli also heard it all.
"Got something." From the angry eyes of the night. Nangong Yi knew he must have heard something.
"It turns out that the poison in the prince has no cure within twelve hours. will be poisoned to death. And the antidote is only available to Nangong Ye herself." Yeli told Nangong Yi exactly what he heard. It's really dangerous. I don't dare to think about it at night. What would be the consequences if there were no incense pills?
"It seems that he is determined to put me to death. Maybe I shouldn't have died. I actually got the incense pill." Come to think of it. Nangong Yi wants to find the person who saved him. If there is no salvation from the son. Maybe he really died of poison as Nangong Ye wished.
"Nangong Ye already knows that the prince is no longer in the palace. He must have thought that the prince had died of poison." Thinking of Nangong Ye's smug laughter. Yeli couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Let's not go back to the palace for a while. Let him be proud for a few days." Since Nangong Ye thought that he had been poisoned to death. Then he creates such an illusion. Wait a few days before it appears. It can be regarded as a surprise for Nangong Ye. He probably wouldn't have imagined he was still alive.
"The subordinates have reported to the queen. said that the prince went out to pay a 'private' visit and observe the people's feelings." Yeli knew that Nangong Yi didn't want the queen to worry. So he didn't tell the queen the truth.
"Thank you. Night away." Nangong Yi smiled with emotion. It seems that the person who knows him best is still Yeli.
He really didn't want the queen to know about it. Because I don't want her to worry about herself.
"Third brother. Something delicious." With Nangong Jin'er's crisp voice came. Ling Yuwei and Yun Xi walked in with their meals.
"Good fragrance ......" until this moment. Nangong Yi realized that he hadn't eaten anything for a day and a night.
"Third brother. You must be starving." Nangong Jin'er said with a chuckle. While placing the meal on the table.
"Jin'er. You can't do all of this." Nangong Yi got out of bed with the help of Yeli and came to the dining table. Asked with some surprise.
"Of course not me. But it's all done by my cousin." Nangong Jin'er looked at Ling Yuwei with appreciative eyes. There are also some small envies.
"Vier. How many more surprises do you have to give me?" Nangong Yi was a little surprised. I didn't expect Ling Yuwei to be able to cook. Those dishes look very light though. But it's so 'fine'. It makes people full of appetite.
"The prince is injured now. So only eat something light. I hope the prince doesn't mind." In modern times. Cooking is Ling Yuwei's specialty. However, she didn't know if the things she made would be to Nangong Yi's taste.
Because Nangong Yi is a noble prince. What I usually eat should be delicacies from the mountains and seas. And what I made today is just some home-cooked dishes. I don't know if he'll like it.
"As long as Wei'er makes it, I like it." Nangong Yi can't wait to try the 'fine' and beautiful side dishes. It doesn't matter if it's good or not. He'll love it. It's just because Ling Yuwei did it.
"Let's all sit down and eat together." Something that looks so delicious. Nangong Yi doesn't want to be alone. There are no outsiders here anyway.
"Okay." Nangong Jin'er is welcome. Pulled Ling Yuwei and sat down together. In fact, I saw those 'fine' and beautiful side dishes. She'd wanted to try it for a long time.
"Night Departure. Yun Xi. Come and eat together." Nangong Yi has never regarded Yeli as an outsider. He believed that Ling Yuwei was the same for Yun Xi.
"Lord Wang. Yun Xi didn't dare to ......" Yun Xi was a little frightened. Although her relationship with Ling Yuwei is like that of sisters. But there is still some awe of Nangong Yi.
"Yunxi. Come on." In fact, Ling Yuwei didn't want to be bound by these etiquettes. Now that Nangong Yi has spoken. Presumably he thinks the same thing.
I'm also a little embarrassed to leave at night. But I still walked over with Yunxi. He knew that Nangong Yi had always regarded him as a brother. It's just that he doesn't usually want to be overdone.
So five people of different identities sat down at the same table and began to eat. That kind of scene makes people feel very warm.
"Vier. I can't believe your craft is so good." Nangong Yi was not deliberately currying favor with Ling Yuwei. It's the truth. It had been a long time since he had eaten something so light and delicious.
"The prince has won the prize. How can I compare my skills with the imperial chef in the palace?" Ling Yuwei smiled faintly. In fact, as long as Nangong Yi likes it, it's fine. If he likes. You can make it for him a few more times. Just pay him back.
"No matter how good the imperial kitchen is, it can't compare to Wei'er." Nangong Yi's praise was beyond words. Anyway. Ling Yuwei is the best in his heart.
Ling Yuwei didn't speak again. Instead, he smiled embarrassedly. In fact, she felt that she was really not as good as Nangong Yi said.
"Vier. I wonder if I can borrow a few more days in the house." Nangong Yi suddenly thought of this question. Now he didn't want Nangong Ye to know that he was still alive. So the palace should not be able to go back for the time being.
"As long as the prince is willing. You can stay as long as you want." Although Ling Yuwei didn't know why Nangong Yi wanted to live in the Xiangfu. But I still agreed. After all, he was the one who saved himself.
"Then I can't live for the rest of my life." Nangong Yi smiled evilly. looked at Ling Yuwei with some expectation.
"Uh......" Ling Yuwei didn't expect Nangong Yi to ask such a question at all. I don't know how to answer for a while. I didn't expect Nangong Yi to have such an evil side.
"Haha. Weier. I'm kidding you." Seeing Ling Yuwei's shy appearance. Nangong Yi couldn't help but chuckle.
The rest of the room laughed happily. In fact, they all hope that Nangong Yi and Ling Yuwei can come together happily.
The bright moonlight shone softly through the window into the room. And the room full of laughter has become more warm because of this.
