Chapter 197: Waves (Part II)
Yizhen was relieved not to go down to Huaxi, did not agree with her to go to Yilin Pavilion, and repeatedly told her to be cautious before leaving, "...... Don't be anxious yet, I'll go see the princess. Xun Rou's side, I will send someone else to check, you can wait for my news here with peace of mind, don't act rashly"
"It's saved, don't worry, I'll wait for your news here."
After sending Yizhen out of the hospital, Huaxi asked Bai Lan when she returned to the room: "Can the news be sent?" ”
Bai Lan said: "If you go back to the county lord, you have already sent it out, and it is estimated that the prince will come here." On the side of the three kings, the slaves and maids will pay attention. You've been tired all night, so let's lie down first, right? ”
"Wake me up if there's something." Huaxi reached out and pressed her temples, "By the way, have the King of Thailand and King Leyi left?" ”
"The king of Thailand and the others have left, and the two kings of Zhinan have had lunch and set off."
"Oh, you go down."
Bai Lan waited for Huaxi to change her clothes, and lit a soothing incense on the table before leaving.
Huaxi lay on the soft couch, raised his eyes sideways and saw the osmanthus tree outside the half-open window diagonally opposite, remembered the scene of strolling in the osmanthus forest in the guest house, reached out and pulled out the jade plate from his underwear, held it in front of his eyes and pouted, stretched out his hand and flicked it, and said to himself: "Aren't you a lucky star?" Why didn't you appear this time? ”
Huaxi sighed, put away the jade card, tilted her body, turned her head and closed her eyes.
I don't know how long I slept, Huaxi woke up, turned over and opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a figure flickering behind the green smoke curling in the white jade incense burner on the table. Huaxi rubbed her eyes, and when she saw that there was really someone, she almost screamed.
"It's me"
The familiar voice made Huaxi's shout stuck in her throat, she sat up and took a clear look at the people at the table, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Aren't you leaving?" How did you come back again? ”
Ouyang Zheng sat at the table in a dark riding costume, and poured himself a cup of tea, "Come back and say goodbye to you." ”
"Where did you come from?"
Ouyang Zheng pointed to the window facing the back of the room, "I sneaked back, and I can't come in through the door openly." ”
"County Lord, County Lord......" Outside the door, Bai Lan heard the movement in the house, knocked on the door and asked, "Are you awake?" Do you want slaves and maidservants to come in and serve? ”
Huaxi glanced at Ouyang Zheng and shouted outside the door: "Wake up, it's okay now, I'll lie down again, I'll call you if there's something." ”
After dealing with Bai Lan, Huaxi looked at Ouyang Zheng and pouted helplessly, "It seems that the guards of the Xiyue Palace's Mansion have been negligent in training recently, and the house is allowed to come and go at will." But then again, you have always been polite and knowledgeable, how can you do this thing today, it is really eye-opening. ”
Huaxi's smiling eyes were full of teasing, the corners of Ouyang Zheng's lips were slightly curved, he coughed lightly twice, and said, "I originally wanted to go, but halfway through, I heard someone complaining that Fuxing was not working, so I went and returned." ”
"When did you come?" Huaxi pouted, this guy was listening to the corner outside the house
"Not long, less than half an hour." Ouyang Zheng took a sip of tea, "Seeing that you slept soundly, I didn't wake you up." ”
"Didn't you already leave the other garden and turn back halfway, Yin Yuanye is not suspicious?" Huaxi got up, put on her shoes, and sat down opposite Ouyang Zheng.
"I didn't leave the other garden, so why should I be separated?"
"I obviously heard Bai Lan say that you are gone......"
"But it's a ......trick," Ouyang Zheng didn't elaborate, and asked Huaxi again, "Sukino Zongqi is embarrassed by you, how are you going to deal with it?" ”
"Your information is really well-informed, what else can I do, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Xun Rou's death is inseparable from Susukino Zongqi, he wants to blame me, and there must be sufficient evidence. Now it's just a special bottle made by Xiangfang, and it wasn't sent out of my hand, so it can't be justified if you want to rely on me. As for the other tricks, I have no way of knowing, so I can only take one step at a time. I'm just worried that he has other plans......"
There was a hurried knock on the door, and Huaxi heard Bai Lan shouting outside the house: "County Lord, County Lord, the Three Kings, Princess Zhidu and Miss Mulan are here, saying that they have something important to see the county lord." ”
"Got it, I'll get up, you go fetch water first." Huaxi panicked when she heard this, thinking to herself, Princess Zhidu and Susukino Zongqi were both outside, if others saw Ouyang Zheng in their own room, they didn't know what they would think, so they hurriedly pushed Ouyang Zheng, "Bailan and they are about to come in, you hurry up and find a place to hide first." ”
"You know at a glance here, where do you tell me to hide?" Ouyang Zheng looked at the anxious Huaxi, and the corners of his lips pursed, "Since it's your people, why do you have to worry about them going out and talking nonsense?" ”
"No, if outsiders see it, it won't add to the chaos when it gets out." Huaxi looked around, and really couldn't find a suitable place for Ouyang Zheng to hide, and finally pointed to the window, "Whoever comes from will go out from where." ”
Ouyang Zheng smiled, "Okay, you don't have to worry, be careful yourself, I'll find a chance to see you later." As soon as he had said that, he jumped out of the back window.
Huaxi calmed down, turned around and opened the door for Bai Lan.
……
Huaxi changed her clothes and went to the front hall, Princess Zhidu and Susukino Zongqi were sitting on the top to drink tea, and Mulan was sitting next to Princess Zhidu.
"The princess, the three kings, and the Mulan girl" Huaxi blessed her body and sat down opposite Princess Zhidu, "Jingxian is late, please forgive the three of you"
Mulan got up to salute the county lord, and Huaxi raised her hand to spare.
Susukino Zongqi said: "How is my sister? If you are upset about such things, you should rest and rest. ”
Sukino Zongqi smiled with a smile, but his eyes were cold, and the meaning of his words was self-evident. Huaxi understood it, didn't raise her eyelids, and only said to the princess: "I don't know what happened to the princess coming to find Jingxian at this time?" ”
Princess Zhidu replied: "The old man came here at this time because he had something to ask the county lord. The county lord is late for a nap, and the old body can wait, if His Majesty and the ladies come, the county lord is afraid that his actions will attract criticism. ”
Huaxi saw that Princess Zhidu's face was haggard, her eyes were red, but there was a bit of fierceness between her eyebrows, and now she heard her speak so politely, and she also knew that she was here to ask the teacher, so she said humbly: "The princess taught a lesson. ”
Princess Zhidu said again: "Yesterday, Mulan came to the county lord and asked the county lord about the incense recipe and spices? ”
Huaxi nodded and said, "I've been here." Miss Mulan said that it was a recipe for essential oil massage that had been passed down from the East, and it was intended for the princess, so let me see if there was anything missing. Jingxian has seen it, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”
"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this side?" Princess Zhidu gestured to the personal grandmother next to her, and the grandmother took it out of her arms and handed it to Huaxi.
Huaxi took it and took a closer look, thinking to herself, the smell of heather was not in yesterday's recipe, and it didn't hurt to add it, but if the proportion is inappropriate, and the amount of other essential oils is changed, it can't be said to be a poison, but it may have a hallucinogenic effect...... When the mind is always in the senses, it is very easy to kill people.
Huaxi wanted to lose his mind for a while, and Susukino Zongqi asked on the side: "Jingxian, but what's wrong?" ”
Hua Xi closed the top and frowned: "This is the same essential oil as the one Mulan showed me yesterday, and there was no such thing as heather yesterday." If the portion is right, then there is nothing wrong with this side, but if the amount is not right, then this side may make people confused......"
"In that case, why didn't the county lord remind Mulan yesterday? Do you know that Xun Rou used this recipe last night......" Princess Zhidu glared at Mu Lan, and then questioned Huaxi, obviously misunderstanding that Huaxi did it on purpose.
Huaxi heard that Princess Zhidu was reminding herself that Xun Rou's death had something to do with this party, and it was estimated that what annoyed her even more was that this party was originally used by her.
Mulan looked frightened, stroked her belly, shook her head and said, "County Lord, take a look again, this is obviously the one I showed you yesterday, but you remembered it wrong?" ”
Looking at Mulan's timid look, Huaxi was disgusted, and her eyes were cold, "Incense making pays attention to the compatibility of materials, each square material is similar but by no means the same, from my hand to pass through no less than a thousand pieces, if you can't even distinguish this subtle difference, how to refine incense, blend incense, make incense?" Heather is not produced in Xiyue, it is very rare in Xiyue, even if I believe in the palace, it is rare to see a bottle and a half, how can I be mistaken? ”
"Jingxian is reasonable, but just based on the words of you and Miss Mulan, it is not easy to judge which is right and which is wrong. Do you have any other credentials? Susukino Zongqi suddenly interjected, "Miss Mulan, where does this party come from?" ”
"I asked someone to get it from the Fang family at a high price, and it was said that it was passed from Dongri." Mulan was in a hurry, with tears in her eyes, and turned her head to Huaxi with a slight cry, "I didn't mean to accuse the county lord, but human life was at stake...... What's more, Sister Xun Rou treats me like a sister, how can I hurt her? After I showed this to the county lord, I transcribed a copy to Sister Xun Rou, and then forwarded it to the princess. I don't mean to harm Princess Xun Rouhe...... Whining...... Sister Xun Rou is gone, and I am also sad in my heart......"
As she spoke, Mulan burst into tears. Princess Zhidu looked at her niece crying sadly, and her heart softened, "Don't cry, you are a person with a body, and you have to think about the child in your belly regardless of yourself." The Three Kings and I didn't say that you hurt Xun Rou and Yu Heng. ”
Sukino Zongqi also comforted: "Miss Mulan, don't be like this, I don't want you to hurt the innocent child in her belly for Xun Rou if you want to come here...... Can you recall the events of that day and see what you missed? ”
Mulan thought about it for a while, and told everyone about the general situation of that day, "...... When the county lord came to see Fang that day, I went to the clean room to go to the toilet, and I don't know what happened during the period, and when I came back, the county lord returned Fang to me. ”
After hearing this, Huaxi sneered in her heart, and said, "Didn't I change the prescription?" When looking at the party, in addition to Cui Ming and others who serve me every day, there are also four maids who are miscellaneous envoys, and the princess and the three kings may wish to invite someone to confront them. ”
