Chapter 259: Heartbeat. Put all one’s eggs in one basket

Yan Shuyao accidentally stepped on the mechanism hidden behind the rockery and fell into the secret room in the backyard of Chengxiang Palace, causing her right hand to be injured on the back of her hand.

But when Yan Shuyao was in the kitchen of Ji Mansion, she showed Ji Qingge the needle-sized scar on the back of her hand. The smile on her fair and beautiful face was as warm as a spring breeze.

"Miss. You say, King Yan likes me, right? Otherwise, why would he risk his life to suck out the poisonous blood for me? ”

Ji Qingge couldn't help laughing and shook his head slightly.

"Why?"

Yan Shuyao, a gentle woman with thin eyebrows and small eyes, couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice after seeing Ji Qingge shaking her head:

"I remember you told me, and my brother told me about it.

Tell me how you risked your life to suck out poisonous blood and heal His Royal Highness King Xiao when you were in the Lost Valley of the West Mountain.

If His Royal Highness King Yan didn't have me in his heart, how could he take such a risk and treat me well? ”

"Sister."

After Ji Qingge packed the fish hot pot, he whispered to Yan Shuyao: "How did King Yan ever call Yan Xiyun's little sister?" ”

"Probably not. I heard him either call Yan Xiyun as his concubine, or call him Xiyun. ”

Listening to what her young lady means, is that King Yan doesn't have her in his heart? If you don't have her in your heart, then why bother to suck out the poisonous blood for her?

"You've only been married into Chengxiang Hall for a few days? King Yan also asked you how old you are. Ji Qingge's narrow eyes looked at Yan Shuyao and sighed:

"Sister, you are indeed still a little sister."

If King Yan had Yan Shuyao in his heart, why wouldn't he ask her age?

However, Ji Qingge's focus was not on Yan Shuyao's affair with King Yan, but on the white silk handkerchief that Yan Shuyao had given her.

There was a bloody smell of ink sandalwood juice poison on the silk handkerchief.

Ji Qingge just wanted to know, where did the ink sandalwood juice poison powder in the Chengxiang Hall come from?

Before, Di Jinxuan and Yun Wanning took Bai Yuqian and other female doctors to sneak into the Lost Valley of Xishan and investigate King Yan's poison storehouse. However, no conclusive evidence could be found.

Last year, when I went to Yuheng Village in Yancheng to build houses for the villagers who were affected by the snow. Di Jinxuan had seen Yan Renshu, a famous doctor in Yancheng in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other party said that there were patches of poisonous herbs planted near Yuheng Mountain.

It must be destroyed as soon as possible.

So Yan Renshu cut down those poisonous herbs before the arrival of spring.

After Di Jinxuan returned to the imperial city, he said to Ji Qingge: "When the Beitan army was aligned with military poison, King Yan advocated a tooth for a tooth and attacked the Beitan thieves.

At that time, the prince who was in command of the expedition was King Yan. ”

"In this way, when King Yan was in the northern Xinjiang, he received a large number of poison doctors to his mansion." Ji Qingge took the silk handkerchief given to her by Yan Shuyao and sniffed closer.

I only felt that the bloody smell on the silk handkerchief was extremely strong, which made people a little disgusting when they smelled it.

Ji Qingge didn't know why Yan Shuyao would let her maid send her a silk handkerchief, but she didn't explain any reason. Taking advantage of the second day of the first lunar month to gather with Yan Shuyao in Ji's mansion, she asked:

"Sister, do you remember the silk handkerchief you gave me?"

"Remember, I picked it up in Chengxiang Palace."

Yan Shuyao smiled lightly and said, "After all, I worked as a helper in the Mingji Pharmacy, and after Miss taught me, I have some understanding of some antidote powder and poison powder.

So I quickly let the maidservant take it to the young lady. ”

Ji Qingge couldn't help but be stunned.

After receiving the silk handkerchief given to her by Yan Shuyao's maidservant, the assassination of Dongling Inn occurred. Didn't the assassin who died in the inn room carry the ink sandalwood juice poison powder?

The corners of her lips hooked up a mocking arc, and Ji Qingge didn't know whether to feel happy for Yan Shuyao or feel pain for herself.

The tip of the index finger of his right hand subconsciously rubbed the corners of his eyes, and carefully wiped away the tears that had accidentally ooped out.

Yan Shuyao's low and tactful voice rang in Ji Qingge's ears. "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Nope."

Raising his chin slightly, Ji Qingge smiled casually. "Thank you, sister. ”

Maybe the matter of Dongling Inn is something that Yan Shuyao has heard some rumors a long time ago. It's just that they don't meet each other, and it's hard to say it too clearly.

"Miss, you and His Royal Highness King Xiao were almost assassinated at the Dongling Inn. I...... It's all there. ”

Yan Shuyao's small and clear eyes crossed a trace of sadness. I couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of person is he?"

To his third brother, His Royal Highness King Xiao, he was so cruel.

But for his cousin, Major General Sikong, he is extremely caring for his brother. Like a brother to me. ”

Yan Shuyao slowly raised her clear eyes, and there was obvious guilt in her eyes. She looked at Ji Qingge, took a small bite of the cherry, and said:

"Miss. Once upon a time, I hated King Yan to the core. Even on the night I married into the Chengxiang Palace, when his figure appeared in my new house, I was still disgusted with him.

Because the person who kidnapped me, the person who had repeatedly wanted to do bad things to me, was Du Xueqiang, a subordinate of King Yan. ”

But later, Yan Shuyao saw it with her own eyes, and King Yan sucked out the poisonous blood for her. When Ji Qingling raised his hand to beat her, he stopped Ji Qingling and asked him to apologize to her.

Since then, the image of King Yan in Yan Shuyao's heart is no longer ruthless. has become a husband who can make her heart pound, an out-and-out warm man.

Yan Shuyao said softly:

"Miss, you and His Royal Highness King Xiao are also kind to me, and even as kind as a mountain. I will not hurt him, let alone do anything to hurt you. ”

Listening to Yan Shuyao's words, it seemed to be hinting at something. Ji Qingge had no choice but to bring the finished fish hot pot to the wooden table, and then said to Xingyu who was standing by the stove:

"Don't worry, you will always be the sister of me and His Royal Highness King Xiao. No matter where we are, we are family. ”

Ji Qingge took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of Yan Shuyao's eyes. Persuaded softly: "Sister, you will be in Chengxiang Hall in the future, don't be afraid of that Ji Qingling."

In any case, your status is higher than hers.

If she dares to hit you, you will bite her hands. It's best to use the poisoning method I taught you to subdue her in one go.

In this way, the women of Chengxiang Hall will not dare to underestimate you. ”

It's just that Ji Qingge shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly: "But I understand that my sister can't be so ruthless to people." So...... You're still too kind. ”

"Miss, you know that I can't do such a cruel thing, and you still come to make fun of me."

Yan Shuyao glanced at Ji Qingge embarrassedly and said in tears.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There were three knocks on the kitchen door.

"Who?"

Ji Qingge washed his hands with hot water, and said to Yan Shuyao, a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, "Go open the door." ”

"Okay."

After Yan Shuyao opened the kitchen door, she saw Yan Feng walking in and said seriously: "Visitor, add vegetables." ”

"Visitors today?" A funny smile curled up at the corner of Ji Qingge's lips and asked, "Did you hear it right?" ”

"Your sister, your uncle, your aunt. And your brother-in-law and your other sister are also here. Yan Fengxing sniffed the smell of fish and meat in the air, and couldn't help but give Ji Qingge a thumbs up.

As soon as he was praising Ji Qingge's excellent cooking skills, he saw Yan Shuyao running towards the hall of Ji Mansion with a smoke. Yan Fengxing shook his head helplessly, and told Ji Qingge softly:

"If I had known that I could have today, then I would have fought for my life and would have prevented my little sister from entering the palace. She...... Enchanted. ”

"King Yan has such benefits. Who he uses and who he loves is clear at a glance. ”
