Chapter Twenty-Five: Thus the Mystery Is Clear
Xiao Di's words are already very clear.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is ......" Xiang Tao was surprised, and looked back and forth between Xiang Yu and Xiao Di, and suddenly realized.
But he still said to Xiao Di: "What His Royal Highness means, the old minister doesn't quite understand. ”
Pei Yaowei thought silently: Listening to this tone, does it mean that you are unhappy?
"Then Xiao Wang will be more clear." Xiao Di smiled lightly: "The four girls of your mansion, Yuanqing Yujie, have both ability and political integrity, Xiao Wang is deeply pleased with his face, and is willing to be hired as a princess, in order to seek white heads, and hope that the county prince will be perfected." ”
Yuanqing is jade, has both ability and political integrity, but after all, it is still for a 'pleasing face'.
Pei Yaowei just wanted to laugh.
This time it was completely straightforward, but Xiang Tao bowed down again and again to refuse: "Your Highness has been raised, where is the posture of the little girl Pu Liu!" ”
"The county lord is cautious." Xiao Di's smile faded, and he said slowly: "Xiao Wang is now in fancy to the virtuous concubine Niangniang's sister. ”
Xiang Tao was really cautious in his words, but he still found all kinds of high-sounding words and said them repeatedly.
Pei Yao was not surprised by his refusal, but she couldn't determine why Xiang Tao refused.
She knew that Xiang Tao was trapped on the way back to Beijing due to the weather, and Min Dai had written several letters to her father about the marriage of her two younger sisters. It stands to reason that since Min Dai agrees with her various plans, then Xiang Tao has no reason to have this attitude.
Is that...... Pretend to refuse, to the whole scene? Or seeing that Xiang Yinghuai's marriage was a foregone conclusion, and since the Xiang family could retreat to safety, he became more and more cautious, and he didn't want to offend the king for a daughter who didn't want to be seen?
Pei Yaowei gradually frowned.
At that end, the two were at a stalemate for a moment, and Xiao Di suddenly sighed.
He said: "There are some things that this king doesn't want to say directly, but since the county prince is so unwilling to do it, then this king has to say it." ”
Hearing this, Pei Yao couldn't help but prick up her ears, but unfortunately, before Xiao Di's words could be spoken, a person suddenly rushed out of the inner hall.
It's Mrs. Zuo, who heard that Xiang Yu is back.
Pei Yao was so focused on Xiao Di's unspoken words that she didn't have time to distract herself from this sudden disaster, until Mrs. Zuo pounced in front of her like a shrew, and she came back to her senses.
Immediately, he received a heavy slap in the face, and the whole person fell backwards with an unstable center of gravity.
In the chaos, Xiao Di quickly helped her, but then saw that her body was weak, and she fainted directly in her arms.
Xiao Di frowned slightly, lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms, neither throwing nor hugging.
When Pei Yaowei came to her senses again, she was already lying on the embroidered couch in her room.
Yu Zhi was guarding her on the couch with teary eyes, and when she woke up, she was very excited: "Girl! Girl, are you awake? …… You're finally awake, and you're scared to death! ”
She rubbed her temples and struggled to sit up, only to feel a splitting headache.
Yu Xu brought the decoction candied fruit, and when she saw the bitter medicine soup, she immediately shook her head, "Pour it, I won't drink it." ”
Yu Zhi immediately said: "How can it be done!" ”
Yu Xu also advised: "Yes, girl, the medicine is bitter, now that it is just the right time to cool and hot, you should drink it quickly!" ”
Pei Yao exhaled a long breath and shook his head.
She knew that she was not sick, and even if she had an elixir, it would have no effect.
When Xiao Di helped her, she was in a panic, and she touched something in her hand, and then she didn't have time to react at all, as if the pain of her body and bones hit her limbs, a white light flashed in her brain, and she lost all consciousness.
Now that I think about it, the thing I came across seems to be ...... It's a cold hilt.
