When 'Hua' Jiu arrived at the peony garden, the sky was already dark, Princess Min sent someone to pick it up, and looked at the 'gate' of the garden for a long time, only to see 'Hua' Jiu and Xi Zixiao sitting on a horse and swaying over.

When she got closer, Princess Min looked at the tattered clothes on the two of them, and there were faint traces of blood, but she was taken aback, "Ah Jiu, what's going on?" ”

Under the dark night, the eyes of the nine eyes of the "flower" were burning, she looked at Princess Min, and saw that her "look" was surprised and did not seem to be fake, so she said, "I met a 'wave' of dead soldiers on the way, if I hadn't sent me over today, I am afraid that the princess would not have been able to see me." ”

"How so?" Princess Min exclaimed, but soon, she seemed to think of something, and for a moment, she looked at 'Hua' Jiu squarely, "Ah Jiu, go to rest first, this palace will definitely give you a 'handover' generation for this matter." ”

'Hua' Jiu nodded, and didn't come down on the horse, "Princess Xie." ”

"Steward Cheng, lead the way for Ah Jiu, don't be lazy." Princess Min instructed the butler with a goatee behind her, the man's 'exposed' half of the fingers hidden under the sleeves were unusually long, and there were thick calluses, which looked like he had a lot of skills.

"Please come with the little one." Steward Cheng stepped forward and naturally grabbed the horse's reins.

'Hua' Jiu was hugged by Xi Zixiao and dismounted, this standing, only then can I see the embarrassment on the two of them more clearly, not to mention that the clothes are not complete, but there are dark red 'color' blood stains everywhere, which are scary to look at.

"Hurry up and freshen up, Steward Cheng will find another doctor to come over." The concern on Princess Min's face didn't seem to be pretentious, and she knew that this was someone who wanted to separate the relationship between King Min and Xi Zixiao.

'Hua' Jiu glanced at Xi Zixiao, only to feel that his phoenix eyes were as dark as ever, and he couldn't see any emotion, after they were intercepted and killed, he ordered Xingyun Liushui to clean up the aftermath, and without saying a word, the clothes on the two of them were cut to shreds, Fang Xian fought viciously, and when he arrived at the peony garden, he could naturally see some clues.

The two followed behind Steward Cheng, and 'Hua' Jiu obviously felt that Xi Zixiao's gaze lingered between the butler's fingers for a long time, and then walked all the way to the courtyard, and 'Hua' Jiu met many acquaintances, including Yang Tui, 'Hua' Mingxuan, and 'Hua' Zhi, Princess Yonghe and others.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Yang Tui laughed, stepped forward and said, "Is this dim sum still the same as Ah Jiu's?" ”

At this point, he paused, his gaze swept around Xi Zixiao, and continued, "I thought you came at least one person. ”

The nine eyes of the 'flower' were cold, and there was a coldness on his face, "Thanks to the blessing of the uncle of the Yang family, Ah Jiu is very good, and this snack will be returned in the future." ”

Yang Tui snorted, "That's best, if you are planted like this, you are not worthy of being my opponent." ”

"I was taken up by the uncle of the Yang family." 'Hua' Jiu was polite, and the blade in his words was sharp, and he didn't let the edge at all.

"Ah Jiu, go and freshen up and be careful." Princess Yonghe interjected.

'Hua' Jiu nodded and saluted everyone, "Rong Ajiu will retire first." ”

'Hua' Mingxuan had been standing in the far corner, his gaze had been wrapped around 'Hua' Jiu's body earlier than anyone else, and only after he didn't see any particularly serious injuries did he retract his gaze and leave indifferently.

"Master Mingxuan, why don't you go and have a look?" Yang Tui came to 'Hua' Mingxuan like a ghost, and there was a treacherous dark glow in his slender eyes.

'Hua' Mingxuan 'touched' the hair on his cheeks, and he was so arrogant that he didn't even bother to give alms to Yang Yuan, "You talk too much." ”

"There are not many words in the next sentence, but every sentence is true, the so-called ask but can't, probably have to use all means, this time everything, that's it, if you are strong, everything will depend on you, on the contrary, in the end, still nothing can be obtained, Mingxuan Gongzi can think about it, the eldest prince has been 'handed' to Gongzi God for a long time." After Yang Tui said this, he patted the shoulder of 'flower' Mingxuan and walked away.

'Flower' Mingxuan was stunned for a long time, he turned to look at the direction where 'Hua' Jiu and Xi Zixiao left, and for a while, he couldn't take his gaze back.

'Hua' Jiu and Xi Zixiao changed their clothes, Xi Zixiao sat on the edge of the 'bed' and dried 'Hua' Jiu's hair, and 'Hua' Jiu asked, "Why did you stare at the butler's hand just now?" ”

"The fingers are longer than ordinary people, and there are calluses, all of them are unauthorized to use hidden weapons, and among the people who intercepted and killed us, several of them had the same hands as the housekeeper." Xi Zixiao's hand ran along the slightly wet hair of 'Hua' Jiu, combing it with his fingers, and the smooth texture made him 'fascinated'.

Almond's eyes flashed, "Do you suspect that those dead soldiers were sent by Princess Min?" ”

'Touching' 'Hua' Jiu's hair was dry, Xi Zixiao actually turned between his fingers, and put a loose bun for 'Hua' Jiu, and finally fixed it with 'Hua' Tian, "I don't know." ”

"No, Princess Min has no reason to attack us, and it's not that she doesn't know the relationship between you and King Min." 'Flower' Nine muttered to himself.

Hearing the words of 'Hua' Jiu, Xi Zixiao's hand froze, and his phoenix eyes brought a narrow dark light, "Jiu'er, King Min has done this kind of thing......

'Hua' Jiu was taken aback, and she got up from Xi Zixiao's 'legs', "He killed you?" ”

Xi Zixiao had no expression on his face, he straightened the broken hair on his forehead for 'Hua' Jiu, and said lightly, "It's not a killing, deter others, start first, and then frame others." ”

'Hua' Jiu's heart chilled, this kind of trick to prevent others from having a chance to start, he did it himself first, this kind of bitter 'meat' on Xi Zixiao's strategy, after succeeding, he could still let the opponent carry the black cauldron, it was really a good calculation, King Min didn't take Xi Zixiao's life to heart at all.

"Sooner or later, you'll get back all the losses you've suffered." 'Flower' Nine said sullenly.

"It's okay, in the future, when the situation is stable, we will leave, go to Xiaotangshan, work at sunrise, rest at dusk, and raise a few more children, are you willing?" Xi Zixiao's tone was indifferent, but in fact, only he knew that he had longed for this kind of life all his life, and when he met 'Hua' Jiu, it became even more intense.

'Hua' Jiu smiled, she got up and climbed up to Xi Zixiao's neck, and took the initiative to peck him on the 'lips', "If you can stand this blandness, I will definitely be happy." ”

When the two were in love, Steward Cheng's voice sounded outside the 'door', "Son, madam, it's time for dinner, the princess is invited." ”

"Got it." Xi Zixiao cleared his voice before he said.

When the two of them came to the hall together, Princess Min sat on it, and there were already many people sitting on the left and right, and there was a table in front of each person, and there was food, snacks and tea on the table.

Steward Cheng led the two to their seats, ate in person, and then retreated.

'Hua' Jiu glanced at the food on the table, there were cold dishes and fish, all of which she usually liked to eat, and Xi Zixiao's was also, she swept the audience, and found that the food in front of everyone was different, obviously Princess Min investigated everyone's preferences clearly, and this was the meal.

'Hua' Jiu's heart moved slightly, to do this, it shows that King Min's power in the capital has reached a certain point, I am afraid that among the princes, it is the largest.

Princess Min held up the wine cup, her clothes swayed, she got up and said, "Thank you's love, willing to appreciate the light to participate in the palace's fragrance tasting party, the prince is not there, so the 'woman' will toast everyone for a cup." ”

The people under the seat raised their glasses accordingly to cater to it, Xi Zixiao was fast, and when others were not paying attention, he quickly poured the wine in the wine cup, and then handed the tea to the hands of 'Hua' Jiu, and took the glass of wine from 'Hua' Jiu and drank it himself.

After drinking the wine and sitting down the princess, everyone sat down one after another.

"You're welcome, just prepare a little side dish to show your gratitude." Seeing Princess Min moving her chopsticks, the others followed suit.

'Hua' Mingxuan sat diagonally opposite 'Hua' Jiu, he just moved his chopsticks, and his eyes unconsciously looked towards 'Hua' Jiu, there was a cold dish in front of her, he never knew that she liked to eat this kind of dish.

He watched Xi Zixiao carefully pick out the green onion foam in the cold dish, and then sent it to the bowl of 'Hua' Jiu, although there was no expression, but he could see the gentleness and carefulness.

'Flower' Mingxuan buried his head and sandwiched a dish with chopsticks, but it was tasteless.

Yang Tui saw this scene in his eyes, there was a sneer on his 'lips', he poured a glass of wine and drank it all, silently counting in his heart, when he read it to ten-

"Bang" The wine jug on the nine cases of 'flower' fell to the ground and shattered.

Everyone's eyes fell on 'Hua' Jiu, Xi Zixiao took a step faster, hugged 'Hua' Jiu aside, and saw a centipede with the length of an index finger crawling out of the broken wine jug.

The strong aroma of wine is pervasive, with an intoxicating fragrance, the wine 'flowers' splashed on the ground, as well as the porcelain pieces of the wine jug, the sharp water chestnut, and the light point of refraction 'shooting', which brings a chill.

'Hua' Jiu took Xi Zixiao's hand, there was a fierce ruthlessness on her plain white face, she had always been drunk when she was drunk, Xi Zixiao took her pot of wine, but just when she was about to pour the wine, the centipede almost 'shot' out, but fortunately, the person who took the wine jug was Xi Zixiao, he was quick with his hands and feet, and threw the wine jug out.

"Steward Cheng!" Princess Min had an angry look on her face, and she shouted a few times as soon as she slapped the case, "What's the matter?" ”

'Flower' nine is in her place, and there are accidents one after another, if she is replaced, she will also be suspicious.

"Back to the princess, these wines are all prepared by the subordinates." Steward Cheng knelt on the ground.

"Bring me all the people who have touched the wine." Princess Min flicked her sleeves and said angrily.

Immediately afterwards, several maidservants were brought up, all of whom confessed their sins and begged for mercy, claiming that they did not know what was going on.

Princess Min was furious, and she said with a little 'waiting' guard, "Everyone who comes, they are all killed by this palace, I want to see who is so bold!" ”

'Hua' Jiu didn't speak, she stood behind Xi Zixiao, frowning, as if she was frightened.

'Hua' Mingxuan's gaze wandered around the ground, his eyes were cold, and he stared at Yang Tui, the meaning was self-evident.

Thinking about it, Yang Tui smiled, he leaned next to 'Hua' Mingxuan, and said in a low voice, "Childe, don't look at me like that, this matter is too frustrating, if I do it, I will naturally let the centipede bite it when it is asleep, instead of putting it in the wine." ”

'Hua' Mingxuan snorted coldly, returned to his seat, ate his own food and drank his own wine, and no longer paid attention to anything.

Those maidservants were dragged down only a few times, and even their voices were gone, and they were killed.

Princess Min personally went to the front of 'Hua' Jiu and said apologetically, "Ah Jiu, whether it is the interception on the road or the wine just now, this palace will definitely give you an explanation, and I will not let you be wronged." ”

The nine 'lips' of the 'flower' curled for a moment, and the light of the light 'colored' eyes was precipitated with the light of ice ling, she didn't speak, Xi Zixiao took a step forward, grabbed Steward Cheng's hand, and said sharply, "The bite on the hand, where did it come from?" ”
