Chapter 217: Stranger

When there were still three days before the birthday banquet of King Wei, Yiyu and Li Tai suddenly had a cold war, which was manifested in the fact that Li Tai did not return at night, and Yuyu ignored him.

I didn't sleep well at night, but I got up earlier, and in the "worried" eyes of the maids in the room, I washed, dressed, and ate breakfast as usual, and I still had a smile on my face when I talked to people, and it was even gentler than usual, but in the eyes of a few close maids, it was tantamount to the calm before the storm, and the waiting place became more and more cautious, for fear of touching the head of the widow - last night the princess quarreled with the prince, and they could hear the movement when they stood in the courtyard with a loud voice.

"Let's all go down."

As soon as Yi Yu entered the pharmacy, she drove out a few maids who had been with her since the morning, missing those few concerned glances, and she was really much more relaxed, and breathed a sigh of relief, she was not in a hurry to adjust the medicine, walked to the window, opened the two windows of Xiangyang, sat down, took out the half-carved wood and a small silver knife from her sleeve, and continued to peel the skin.

"Boom..."

After a while, she suddenly stopped, turned her head to look out the window at the small garden, her eyes casually fell on a cluster of branches and leaves, and then she began to wander.

Thinking back to last night, after she yelled at Li Tai, he put her down, and the beauty of the room was completely destroyed by her, about the time when she was angry and her face was hateful, swept Li Tai's interest, he threw a blanket on her, and then took the belt and walked away.

"Hmm-" Leaning back against the window lattice, Yu Yu covered her forehead with one hand and squeezed a frustrated syllable out of her throat.

What does she do? Isn't it just a few words, ask him and there will be no less piece of meat, obviously wondering where he has been at night lately, minding the Sulan girl who doesn't know if there is one, annoyed that his yard is said to be full of concubines, as soon as he sees him, he subconsciously wants to avoid these questions, and he doesn't even dare to ask, what is this

She turned her head and looked at the medicine table full of bottles and cans not far away, her eyes were in a trance, as if she saw the picture of herself being put on the carpet by him last night, he put her clothes together, and covered her head with a blanket, her chest suddenly tightened, and she looked away from her face in embarrassment.

Forget it, he's not as much of a bastard as he thinks, most of the time he's being cautious.

“... Okay," then ask him tonight. ”

Clenched his fists and cheered himself up, Yu Yu muttered quietly, put the wood and knife back into his waist, and changed his coat to finish the medicine that was not prepared yesterday.

At the other end, in the inner room, the maids packed up the beds, Pinghui looked at the small pile of sawdust gathered on the ground than a few days ago, raised her eyebrows, checked twice inside and outside the bed tent, and found no traces of the wood being gnawed by mice, so she put away the sawdust, and went to the backyard to ask Pingtong for advice with a puzzled face.

Pingyang was poisoned, it was the internal affairs of the princess's mansion, and Yu Yu didn't know which passer-by wanted to harm her, but she just got a ready-made poison from Ping Yang, so even if Yu Yu didn't know what the mixed poison was called, it would be much easier to detoxify.

After two days of busy work, he prepared three single medicines, and he didn't dare to blindly take the medicine, in order to test the depth of toxicity, Yi Yu picked up half an afternoon and took the prescription to visit Pingyang.

She has been in and out of Zhaohua Mansion frequently recently, and she is used to seeing her in the front yard of the porter, so she is politely invited to enter the door.

Pingyang lived in the Warm Pavilion, passing through a garden, and Yu Yu followed behind the waiter who led the way, and did not have the leisure to enjoy the scenery, looking down and thinking about things while walking, but he didn't know that several maids were quietly looking at her clothes.

The weather is cold, the clothes are thicker, the jade is afraid of the long cloak dragging, do not like to tie, the end of the clothing bureau touched her preference, then coincidentally on the skirt of the long shirt embellished with a variety of fur decoration, at first glance it is the same as the embroidered pattern, and can keep warm, the sleeves of the placket with a thin line hook on the circle of fine soft fur, it is even more delicate and lovely, she wore a green fox fur jacket today, the waist wrapped three circles of colored silk leather belt, hanging a few fox fur tied small pompoms, still looks slender, Ying Ying grasped.

The eyes of the maids sneaked down on her waist, Jingli is actually a plump beauty, and Tang is beautiful with her breasts, but such a rare slender waist seems to be soft and tough, to be honest, it is indeed more eye-catching than other places, it is the same woman, and it is also a little inexplicably itchy.

"I've seen Princess Wei."

A main corridor in the garden is not narrow, but it is still reluctant for three or five people to pass side by side, and a few people came over from afar, and Yi Yu raised his head when he heard the sound of talking.

Two zhang away, a pair of maids bowed their heads to see, and behind them stood a strange man in a cloak, saying that "he" was strange, not only "he" wore thick, but in broad daylight, it was still in the garden of the princess's mansion, wearing a double layer of black gauze on his head, his head and face were missing, and his neck was also surrounded by a circle of brown raccoon dog skin, not showing any skin and flesh outside, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Yi Yu's eyelids trembled, and almost immediately, he contacted this person with the unknown poisoner under Li Ke.

"Excuse me, who is this?"

The pair of maids only hesitated for a moment, and the attendant who led the way for the jade reprimanded lightly:

"There are no rules, didn't you hear the princess's question?"

"Slaves deserve to die." The two hurriedly confessed.

"Back to the princess," the attendant turned to Yu Yu and said, "This is a guest in the palace." ”

When the "guest" heard her say this, he didn't make a sound, he didn't even move his head, and he couldn't see his face clearly through a layer of black veil, but Yiyu had a real feeling of being stared at by the other party, and this feeling was not comfortable.

"Oh."

What was she thinking, at a glance, she knew that this group of subordinates was covering for this strange person, and it was not easy to reveal the identity of the other party, but the more she was like this, the more she knew in her heart, smiled good-naturedly, nodded at the person, waved her hand to let the two maids get up, and then raised her legs and walked through the aisle they had let out, and when she passed by this strange person, she secretly took a breath, recognized the taste, raised her eyebrows, and passed by.

Li Tai wanted to capture the poisoner in Li Ke's hand, and there were spies outside the princess's mansion, and it was impossible to arrest people in broad daylight.

"King Wei... Concubine? Watching the woman disappear around the corner of the corridor, the black-cloaked guest muttered to himself, and there was some unpredictable tremor in his dark voice.

"Mr. Qiu, what's wrong with you?"

“... Not long after I came to Chang'an, I heard that there was a princess of Wei who had solved a big case, the one just now, right? ”

"Exactly, Mr. Qiu has also heard of the case of the big library? That's a strange case, Princess Wei is a famous talented woman in our capital, and she can't solve the case that the Criminal Department can't solve. ”

The two maids had just been relieved of the siege by the remnant jade, and they were worried about her, so it was inevitable to say a few more words, but in the past few days, the house has been rectified, and after speaking, they feel that they have too many mouths, and no matter what the guests in the black cloak ask, they only replied that they didn't know, and they refused to say more.

In the evening, in the inner hall, the lamp oil is dusk and suitable for the eyes, the dishes on the silver-footed small case are steaming one by one, and a pot of shochu is hot on the stove, which is clearly a warm picture, but the atmosphere is quiet and makes people feel furious.

"Got it, you can go down and eat."

Ren bent down and stood outside the door, secretly glanced into the hall, and saw the hostess sitting on the low couch, holding the chopsticks and vegetables with her head down, chewing a piece of winter bamboo shoots in small bites, only to see a white forehead, unable to see the face, this picture made people's eyes hurt, and was glared at fiercely by the two maids on the side.

He couldn't help but wail in his heart:

Why do you have to do the unlucky thing every time you come back to pass the word, this prince can't go back to the house, and it has nothing to do with him being a slave

Zhou Ren left, and Pingtong, who had recovered from his illness, returned to work this afternoon, waved a few little maids, knelt beside Yi Yu, and poured a glass of wine:

"Master, it's cold this day, drink some wine, and sleep well at night."

Although she can't serve in front of her these days, she also heard from Pinghui that the prince is not there, and the princess does not sleep peacefully all night, often gets up early and goes into the house to serve, people have woken up and sit at the head of the bed to read, once Pinghui entered the house without calling the door, just in time for the princess to get up, and peeked at her folding the prince's clothes and put them in the cabinet, as if there was an accident in the palace in April, Pingtong felt sad as long as she thought that she had to sleep with a dress at night.

Yi Yu looked at the wine glass handed to him, hesitated for a moment, then took it and drank it, the warm wine entered his throat, warmed his stomach, and it was really comfortable, he couldn't eat the food, so he simply poured the wine and drank, and after a few glasses, he was a little drunk, leaned back on the cushion, shook the wine glass with one hand, his eyes swept over the faces of several maids, and sighed lightly:

"What are you doing here, I remember that you have all been with everyone before, and I think you have seen those trivial things in the inner house, I am nothing, the prince has not come back for a few days, I am indeed not happy, but one by one peeked at me with this look, it makes me feel like a poor person."

Pingyun and Pinghui hurriedly lowered their heads, Pingxia scratched her neck, and whispered: "The master is not pitiful. ”

"Oh?"

Pingxia didn't see Pingtong's eyes, her mouth was quick, and she replied: "If you have food and clothing, you won't be pitiful." ”

Ping Tong glared at her fiercely, but Yi Yu smiled, his eyes gradually cleared, and he nodded and praised:

"You're right."

Li Tai's second birthday did not have a banquet, this year in the Ziyun Tower in the Furong Garden, the emperor asked in the early dynasty, and specially sent a few palace chefs to help, and successively rewarded a lot of tribute ingredients to the Furong Garden, so that several other princes were envious.

On Pingyang's birthday, several princes of fiefdom officials took the opportunity to return to Beijing, and stayed because of the investigation of the assassins, grinding and chirping into November, but none of them were willing to leave.

The banquet stickers were all sent out on the eighth day of the first month, and Yu Yu told Zhao Chuan to check it twice to confirm that there was no omission, and the meals of the day were also made a few tables in advance, various utensils, lighting, etc., all of which could be handed over to the next person to do the errands, and she personally took a look at them.

On the ninth day of the first month, early in the morning, the garden was busy, hanging lamps and feasting, until the afternoon, the last lantern in the Ziyun Building was hung, and the main owner of tonight had not seen a shadow.

Yu Tong hurriedly entered the Ziyun Building, and almost knocked down a few attendants who served plates, and asked when he met people, and found Pingtong under the incense gallery on the second floor.

"Huh? Brother Yu, didn't you pick up people on the bridge, why did you come back? Seeing his expression, Pingtong felt a little bad in his heart, so he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Yu Tong looked left and right with a calm face, then lowered his head and whispered in his ear.

After saying that, looking at Pingtong's face again, it was already ugly, and the two of them stood there for a long time before she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go over and take a look first, you must not go to the master to say." ”。.。
