Chapter 585: The Poison of Love
The portrait on the table was basically finished, Xiao Man was doing the final coloring, and the old fox saw the painting, his eyes lit up, and at the same time he was frightened, it seemed to be too similar, just like he usually looked in the mirror.
"Oh my God...... it's incredible."
Xiao Man was startled by this voice, and with a shake of his hand, a drop of ink fell on the drawing paper, looking unusually abrupt.
The old fox let out a sigh, "Little Man girl is really sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's ruined my painting." ”
Xiao Man looked at the little ink and smiled, "Who said it was ruined, wait for ......." ”
A few strokes, the fox has been jumping on the paper, vivid, the fox's cunning appearance looks like, and the other fox is much more vivid and lively than the previous painting.
Xiaoman put down the brush and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay...... ”
The old fox rubbed his hands together and couldn't wait to get closer, "Absolutely...... It's amazing...... This kind of painting is really unprecedented...... ”
Xiaoman just smiled and didn't answer, this is a fine brush, but he used a brush, which is already a better way to draw, the fault is too soft, and most of the lines are drawn at one time.
"The corner of this coat looks like the wind is blowing, this painting I want to be an heirloom of our family, and when I wait for a hundred years in the future, my children and grandchildren can still know what their ancestors looked like."
"You, it's too early to say that a hundred years is too early, you are an old fox, you can live for thousands of years."
The old fox carefully rolled up the painting, found a ribbon and tied it, "I'll go back and frame it myself, and then hang it in the house." ”
"Well, if you frame it, it's best to add a layer of moisture-proof, otherwise how long will it be distributed."
"Good idea, good idea......."
Seeing that Xiao Man kept smiling thoughtfully, the old fox smiled slyly, "Little girl, let's talk about it......." ”
"Well, what did you say?"
"You work so hard to please you, and you show off all your tricks, don't you have something to ask me."
"You are really an old fox, you can see it, then I'm not welcome, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask you about something."
"You're currying favor just to ask me about something?"
The tea was hot, Xiao Man held the teacup in his hand, absorbed the temperature on it, squinted his eyes and took a sip gently, and then smiled faintly, "Eun just wants to inquire about things." ”
"Okay, how can you be so sure that I must know what you asked me about?"
Xiaoman shook his head, "I'm not sure, I'm just trying my luck, besides, I've always had good luck." ”
"Okay, you can tell me a little bit and I'll see if I can help you."
Xiao Man stood facing the north, "I want to ask about the two most honorable people in the palace wall." ”
The old fox squinted, touched his beard thoughtfully, and then said very seriously: "This is really hard to say, it depends on what you are asking about." ”
Xiao Man tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and then said with certainty: "Don't worry, I don't ask you, what I asked has nothing to do with the national situation and politics, I just want to know if the relationship between the emperor and the empress is." ”
"Feelings?"
"Yes, it's whether the two of them are in love, no, you can't use the word affection, there are three palaces and six courtyards in the emperor's palace, in other words, whether the emperor and the queen have any grievances, that is, they don't look at each other right."
"You have to let me think about this, after all, I'm not like those adults, I can come into contact with the people in the palace every day, but I've heard some things."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"The palace where the queen lives now was specially ordered by the emperor to build it, and I heard that there is a lot of attention inside, as if the queen's bed is made of jade, which has the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer."
"What is the personality of your queen?"
"I don't know about this, but I've heard a little, but it's gossip, although this queen's surname is Liu, she has no blood relationship with the Liu family."
"It's really an accident, but I'm really curious that we are queens."
"Speaking of which, she also heard miserably, it seems that she was wiped out, she is the only one left, the old lady of the Liu family has some relationship with their family, so he took him to the Liu Mansion to take her in, she is also a person who knows gratitude, and directly changed her surname."
Xiao Man rubbed this teacup, this queen is really not as simple as she thought, it seems that she really has to think about how to reply to her after entering the palace.
Out of Master Sun's mansion, he saw the little medicine boy beside Master Qi beckoning to him, "Shopkeeper...... This way....... ”
"Didn't you all go back to Tongrentang, are you here?"
"I went back, but the master said that you are not safe alone, so I will drive to pick you up."
Looking at the little medicine boy's frozen red nose, Xiao Man was a little distressed, "How long have you been here, it's so cold outside, why don't you go into the carriage and wait." ”
"It's quite cold, but I'm afraid that if I go in, I won't see you come out, in case I miss it and don't receive you, the master will curse when he goes back."
"Next time, I'm making you a mask, the kind that only shows your eyes, so that you won't freeze."
"Okay, I'll thank the shopkeeper first."
The little medicine boy helped Xiao Man to get into the carriage, and the two ran directly to Tong Ren Tang, and on the way, Xiao Man also carefully asked Ma Ben about his injuries to see how he recovered.
"I vomited blood a few times last night, but the master said it was bruising, and today it is much better, and the little senior brother is taking care of him and staying by his side at night."
When Xiaoman and Yao Tong arrived at Tongrentang, Master Qi and Cheng Zheng were no longer there, saying that someone had invited the master to visit the doctor.
I was a little disappointed in my heart, I originally wanted to take a look at Ma Ben, and then ask Master Qi about it, about the queen, what did Zhou Duchan say, last night I ran to find myself Meng Lang, and I didn't say anything about it, I wanted to go to Zhou Duchan But now Zhou Duchan is different from before, he is in the imperial court and is still an important position, he will definitely not have time like before, he has not spoken to him for a long time.
I asked the guys, Master Qi, did they explain when they would be able to come back.
"Master Qi of the shopkeeper didn't explain before leaving, but Master Qi left a letter for you, as if in his study, and the master said that you came and went directly to his study to have a look."
Master Qi left a letter for himself, which is really strange, Master Qi never seems to like writing these things, could it be .......
Xiao Man's mind flashed into his mind, picked up his skirt and ran towards Master Qi's study.
The guys who watched were terrified, it was so cold, the ice on it turned into water droplets under the hallway, and it became ice again, and they fell here several times this morning.
"Shopkeeper, be careful to slip ...... on the floor."
"It's okay, I'm a skater."
The guy couldn't understand Xiaoman's words, and watched her swoop down, which made people feel frightened, but fortunately Xiaoman didn't do anything.
Seeing Xiaoman arrive safely in Master Qi's study, the guy started working with confidence.
The letter was placed in the drawer of Master Ziqi's desk, and the familiar self outside, written "I love and in-person", seeing that my heart was full of sweetness here, her face was still a little hot, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily hung a sweet smile, exactly the same as the silly woman in love she had despised before.
At the beginning, too, Xiao Manwu loved, yesterday I was going to say something with you, but I couldn't bear to call you when I saw the sweetness of your familiarity, Master Qi said that you were cold, and it was easy to be cold when you sleep in winter, and I was originally going to just warm you up, but I still couldn't hold back, but you are still asleep, it's a pity that there is no interaction, Master Qi has told me about the queen, I will find a way to investigate clearly, this matter should be cautious, because I have not heard of the discord between the emperor and my queen before, the queen is looking for you to enter the palace, and you can push it, If you really can't push it off, remember to be very careful, tomorrow there will be two girls in your house, this is the maid I found for you, the two of them are one scholar and one martial arts, you have to take it with you wherever you go in the future, I will be very busy recently, the matter of the princess of Chuyun is now a bit deadlocked, my father and the old lady are still detained in the villa, I am going to go to the village tomorrow, these days may be in the capital, you are careful, wait for me to come back.
Xiao Man watched it over and over again, and every time he looked at it, he felt different, love is really a poison, an addictive poison, and there is no cure.
Just not far from the capital, Zhou Duchan took Master Qi and a team of guards and received a group of black-clothed people to intercept him, fortunately, Zhou Duchan expected that when he left the capital this time, someone would definitely come to assassinate him.
Before they came, they carefully studied the map, there were a total of three places where they might start, these three places, Zhou Duchan had already sent secret guards to reconnoiter in advance, and there was only one place where the terrain was dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and that was only this Oolong Valley.
Although Zhou Duchan and the others arrested these black-clothed people, as soon as these people were caught, they all committed suicide by poisoning, and they didn't get a word.
