Chapter 71: Midnight Terror
Nian Yun was silent, and when she looked over, she saw Xiao Anzi standing in the courtyard hunched over, burying her head as if she was looking for something.
The figure looks a little sneaky.
Seeing this, Bully Xue went out and rubbed to Xiao Anzi's side, "Xiao Anzi, what are you doing here?" ”
Xiao Anzi replied, "Back to the Snow Maiden, there are many insects and ants this summer, so the slave sprinkles some medicinal powder to prevent these insects." ”
"I didn't think you still had such a clever mind, we didn't think of it yet!"
Xiao Anzi replied naturally, "It was also someone else who reminded the minion, and the minion thought of it." ”
"Okay, then you're going to check!" After she finished deception, she went back to the room and replied to Nian Yun, "Xiao Anzi is inspecting the yard." ”
Nian Yun nodded.
At night, not long after it was extinguished, Nian Yun was about to fall asleep, but he heard the sound of rustling outside the door, as if something was rubbing against the ground, Nian Yun opened his eyes and saw that there seemed to be a long shadow hanging at the door, still circling, and he was suddenly awakened.
"What's that?"
Nian Yun's voice woke up the snow in the compartment.
"County Lord, what's wrong?"
"There's something out there." Nian Yun spoke, got up and walked to the door, but did not open the door rashly.
"County Lord, don't come out!" Nanxi's voice came, but it was too late.
A scream rang through the East Palace.
"Bully the snow!"
Nian Yun couldn't help but rush out directly, and saw a red tongue spitting at him, sticky saliva on his face, and the blood all over his body was frozen in an instant.
On the vermilion pillar, the snake with thick arms is now very close to Nian Yun, its cold pupils are staring at her tightly, and the arched snake head is in the form of an attack.
"County Lord, don't move!"
Nanxi's voice was extremely careful,
In addition to the one that confronted Nian Yun, there were dozens of snakes, large and small, next to him, all of which were cut in half by Nanxi, and blood splattered.
Nian Yun slowly retreated, who knew that the black shadow flashed in front of him, his shoulders were heavy, and the cold snake body hung between Nian Yun's neck, making everyone almost suffocate.
Because it was too close to Nianyun, Nanxi didn't dare to act rashly.
Nian Yun only felt that the snake body around her neck was getting tighter and tighter, making her a little suffocated, and she couldn't help coughing violently.
"Go and call Hatsuyu."
Gritted his teeth and commanded.
It is not known if the snake is venomous, but then she was either bitten to death or entangled.
Chu Yu hurried over, looked at the snake on Nian Yun's neck, understood the meaning of Nian Yun, and hurriedly said, "County Lord, this snake is not poisonous!" ”
Hearing this, Nian Yun was no longer polite, and directly reached out to grab the snake body.
The snake's teeth entered the flesh, and there was a sharp pain between the neck, Nian Yun gritted his teeth and endured it, Nanxi took the opportunity to make a move, vigorously threw the snake away and threw it on the wall, cut it off with a knife, and quickly knelt down, "The subordinate protector is not good, please punish the county lord." ”
Nian Yun waved his hand, just thinking about life and death, she could see that he was just afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to do it easily.
Chu Yu stepped forward to take the pulse of Nian Yun, look at the wound, and bandage the place where the snake bites.
"Tonight's matter, don't alarm the palace for the time being."
"Yes."
After Nian Yun gave the order first, he looked at the kneeling people below, and then asked sharply, "Xiao Anzi, what kind of thing did you spill in the yard today!" ”
Crimson Jade and Bully Xue just remembered.
Xiao Anzi, who was called, hurriedly kowtowed, "It's not a slave, it's really not a slave, the slaves are sprinkled with ant-repellent medicine." ”
"Today you sprinkled medicine, and in the evening there came a snake in the courtyard! How dare you quibble! Bully Xue said angrily, "Where's the thing! Hand over the stuff! ”
"It's really not a minion!" Xiao Anzi's face was full of remorse, and he took out the thing from his cuffs, "Please believe in the slave, it's really not a slave, the slave is said to have many snakes and insects in summer, and a snake appeared in Su Guifei's palace a few days ago, and it was because of this thing that there were fewer snakes and insects." So the minions pretend to be clever and want to ask for a reward, who knows that it is self-defeating, and the minions really don't mean it! ”
"Hatsuyu, take a look."
"Yes."
Chu Yu took the bottle, opened it and smelled it, and said solemnly, "County Lord, it is the earth dragon liquid, the most attractive snake." ”
The earth dragon is the earthworm, and the slime on its body is the snake's favorite. It's summer, and today it's light rain, the air is humid, and the snakes will naturally come out at night.
When Xiao Anzi heard this, his face turned pale, "It's really not a minion, begging the county lord to spare his life, the minion is not intentional!" "Bang bang.
"Who gave it to you?"
"It's the eunuch in the palace of the concubine, and the chief is for the slave."
Nian Yun looked carefully, what Xiao Anzi said was not like a lie.
"Even if what you say is not a lie, but you are so stupid and taken advantage of, I don't feel comfortable using you. Nanruo, take him down. ”
Now that Yu Wenhao is not in the palace, she has always been under the protection of Yu Wenhao, and she has forgotten that this palace is originally dangerous.
"Yes."
"You stand down first, if there is the slightest word of today's events, I will ask you." For a moment, everyone only felt that the county lord, who had always been simple, seemed to have changed in an instant.
The gaze was cold, and the majesty in it was even panicked with the illusion of a three-point prince.
After the minions retreated, only four of the first words of the scarlet jade were left in the room.
"County Lord, why don't you spread the word about this?"
"The prince's cousin is not in the palace, and the matter is big, although the aunt and uncle will deal with it, but they also give people the opportunity to push the pot. Xiao Anzi said that the things were given by Su Guifei's palace people, but it can't be said that Su Guifei is the mastermind. Nian Yun frowned, "Chu Yu, look at these snakes, are there deadly poisonous snakes?" ”
"No, most of the poisonous snakes are in places where there are few people and many birds, so almost in the deep mountains and old forests, although there will be snakes in our palace, they are all non-venomous snakes." Chu Yu replied, "But ordinary people don't know. ”
"Mean, this man is trying to lure the snake to kill me?" Nian Yun pondered, "But killing me is not good for Concubine Su." "If she dies, the palace will definitely investigate strictly, Nanyang Wangfu will not give up, and my uncle is already privately dissatisfied with the Su family's secret desire to promote the second prince to the throne, so if it is found out that something came out of Qinyun Palace, even if it is not Su Guifei, it will become Su Guifei."
Therefore, Su Guifei will not take the initiative to do this. However, if Su Guifei knew who did it, but turned a blind eye and wanted to kill someone with a knife, then it would be different.
But who will deal with her?
Nian Yun looked at the snakes that were cut into several pieces, his eyes were slightly cold, "Take the snakes to the small kitchen and make soup overnight." ”
Scarlet Jade had never seen her own county lord like this, and she was slightly stunned in her heart.
"Yes."
Nian Yun naturally felt Scarlet Jade's gaze, and did not speak, and after letting Chu Yu Nanxi retreat, he said to Scarlet Jade and Bully Xue, "Before entering the palace, my mother said that the women in the palace are not simple, as the county lord of Nanyang Palace, my status is noble, and no one dares to look down on it, but in private, it is easy to be taken advantage of." ”
For example, if today's events are big and known, and they reach the Nanyang Palace, what will my father and mother think?
Another example is that she is really dead, what is the relationship between Nanyang Palace, Yuwenhao and even the royal family.
"I have always been under the protection of my father, mother, brother and cousin, but they can't always be by my side, so I have to learn to protect myself, you will also encounter danger when you are by my side, so you must also learn to protect yourself."
Nian Yun said very plainly, but his eyes were full of seriousness.
At this moment, Scarlet Jade and Bully Xue no longer dared to treat Nian Yun as a simple child as before, and replied, "Yes." ”
Nian Yun bent the corners of her eyes, her apricot eyes were as clear as ever, "The small kitchen has made soup, and you will go with me tomorrow." ”
Scarlet Jade and Bully Xue suppressed their thoughts in their hearts, and after cleaning up, they went back to their rooms.
The next morning, after Nian Yun asked the queen for peace, she took advantage of Yu Wenhao's pre-court appearance and went to Qinyun Palace, where Su Guifei was located, with the snake soup boiled in the small kitchen.
At that time, Su Guifei was enjoying afternoon tea and was a little surprised when she heard the news.
"Little county lord? What are you doing here in my Qinyun Palace......"
His eyes flickered, and then he smiled, "Since you're here, let the little county lord come in, the sun is big outside, don't let the little county lord bask in the sun." ”
"Ning Xing, see the concubine Niangniang."
"Sit down." Concubine Su smiled, "It's rare for the little county lord to come to my Qinyun Palace, but it's the blessing of my Qinyun Palace." ”
"I heard that the concubine Niangniang's body has not been very comfortable recently, so Ning Xing specially prepared a nest of supplements for the concubine Niangniang to dispel wind and dehumidify, hoping to be useful to the concubine Niangniang."
"Oh?" Concubine Su was a little surprised.
Nian Yun made a look and asked Scarlet Jade to put the food box in front of Su Guifei.
Concubine Su is not polite, it stands to reason that Ning Xing is the queen's daughter-in-law, there is no need to honor her, and now the concubine specially boiled soup for her, how can she not enjoy it.
opened the lid of the soup, only to see the thick white soup inside, a strange fragrance permeated, Su Guifei stirred it with a spoon, but stirred a strange thing, not like a duck, not like a chicken, not a fish.
"What is this?"
"It's a snake."
"What!" Su Guifei threw the spoon and said angrily, "The county lord has a vicious mind, knowing that this palace is most afraid of snakes, and even stewed snake soup to Qinyun Palace." Could it be that the county lord thinks that he is the pearl of the king of Nanyang and the future crown princess, so he doesn't take the palace in his eyes, but it is really a good rule. In any case, this palace is also the emperor's concubine, and the county lord does this, so I have to ask the emperor what the truth is! ”
"Don't worry, concubine." Nian Yun smiled sweetly and made an apology to Concubine Su first, "Concubine Niangniang will hear the origin of this snake first." Last night, the palace people sprinkled some medicine in the courtyard of Ningxing, saying that it was sent from the palace people in Qinyun Palace, which can prevent mosquitoes, insects, snakes and ants. At night, Donggong suddenly had dozens of snakes because of the medicine, so Ning Xing wondered if Niangniang liked to drink snake soup and deliberately used medicine to lure snakes, so that people boiled up soup overnight to honor Niangniang. ”
After Nian Yun finished speaking, the face of the eunuch standing at the gate of the palace changed.
Concubine Su naturally saw it, and her eyes changed subtly in an instant, could it really be someone from her palace?
But on the face, Concubine Su said as usual, "This palace doesn't like snakes, the county lord misunderstood." ”
I wanted to cover it perfunctorily with a few shallow words, but this was not the purpose of Nian Yun, the smile on his face was sunny, "Scarlet Jade, put away the soup, since the concubine doesn't like it, then Ning Xing will ask her aunt, the snake soup is a big supplement, and maybe your aunt will like it." ”
Su Guifei's face changed, and she actually threatened her.
