Yun Yao naturally wouldn't mention Gu Qingming to Xiangfu, so she avoided the important and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm just a little curious after observing it in the past few days." Since Miss Xiangfu said that it was credible, there was naturally no problem. ”

While speaking, the two had already arrived at the main hall, and Qi Shuning had already finished freshening up and was waiting in the hall.

Xiangfu waited for Qi Shuning to have breakfast, while Yun Yao was on the sidelines, waiting for the medicine in the jar to cool a little.

Maybe it was because she was pregnant, Qi Shuning couldn't eat much, just ate a little, and then beckoned Yun Yao and drank the half-hot fetal pill in her hand without hesitation.

Yun Yao had already finished her errand, so she didn't stay in the hall for long, and left here with a bowl and jar, and the moment she stepped out of the door, she heard the voice of Xiangfu:

"Niangniang, Miss Ayao just asked the slave about the little bolt and curtain, but these two people have always been Niangniang's henchmen, so the slave and maid were fooled. Mother, you look ......"

"Did Miss Ayao take the initiative to mention it?" Qi Shuning asked after listening to Xiangfu's words.

"Yes, Miss A-Yao only said the room where they lived, and the slave knew that it was them when she heard it. Xiangfu nodded and replied.

"Check!" Qi Shuning picked up the teacup in her hand, rinsed her mouth, and washed away the bitter taste of the medicine in her mouth, before she said, "Didn't you find that this Ayao girl is not like an ordinary person at all, as soon as she entered the palace, she performed a palace ceremony with the palace, and her actions are more standard than you, who have been in the palace for so many years." Since she is really helping this palace, then you must pay attention to what she says. ”

Xiangfu heard Qi Shuning mention this matter, and then he suddenly realized, remembering the situation when Yun Yao entered the palace that day, and said busily: "Sure enough, it was the mother who observed carefully, and the slave almost missed a big thing." Niangniang rest assured, the slave will send someone to investigate, if there is really a problem with these two people, they will definitely be able to find out. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiangfu called two other palace maids to serve in the palace, and she went to investigate the two suspicious people herself.

Yun Yao returned to the small kitchen, poured out all the medicine residue in the medicine jar, threw it in the fire and burned it, and then asked the person in the small kitchen for some hot water, carefully cleaned the medicine jar, and only after making sure that there was no trace of residue before putting the jar away.

It's not that Yun Yao is too worried, and these things she does are not useless. Because of the residual smell on the medicine residue and the medicine jar, as long as someone who understands pharmacology a little, it is very likely that she will judge what medicine she has prepared for Qi Shuning, and the more others know, the more they can use.

No matter how cautious she is, she is just a mortal in the end, and she can't really be leaky, and she will always let others have a chance to take advantage of it. Since she can't predict the dangers of the future, she can only nip those possible dangers in the bud step by step.

When she returned to the courtyard where she lived, Yun Yao found that the person sent by Qi Shuning to bring her breakfast was already waiting there.

The two little palace maids did not enter her room, but put the food box on the stone table in the courtyard outside, waiting for her to return.

"Miss Ayao, this is the breakfast that the queen mother ordered to be sent to you, please use it slowly. One of the maids said, "After the meal is finished, these bowls, chopsticks and food boxes are placed on the table, and the slaves and maids will come to pick them up later." ”

"By the way, I may be able to eat more recently, can you please send an extra one when you deliver the meal?" Yun Yao seemed to remember something, and then said.

"Miss Yao, please rest assured, the slave maid will send an extra one for lunch. The palace maid said, pursing her lips and smiling slightly, as if she was curious about why Yun Yao ate so much.

After the two palace maids left, Yun Yao closed the door of the courtyard, carried the food box and looked around the courtyard for a week, and finally chose a direction and walked towards the door of the room.

With a squeak, the door was pushed open, and Gu Qingming, who was startled, swished, and jumped onto the beam of the room with light skills, trying to hide.

Yun Yao only felt a fierce wind blowing in front of her, and the room was empty, but she raised her head familiarly and looked at the beam, but saw that the man in the dark robe was squatting on the narrow beam, which didn't look funny.

"Poof-" Yun Yao suddenly laughed, then put the food box on the table in the room, and looked at Gu Qingming with a smile, "Are you a gentleman on the Liang Dynasty who is addicted?"

Gu Qingming's face was slightly hot, and he felt very embarrassed, but he still obediently jumped down from the beam and landed in front of Yun Yao: "How do you know I'm here?"

"I saw this yard the day I moved in, and only this room and the room in the northwest corner are clean and tidy, and there are beds to sleep in. Yun Yao said calmly, "Since you said that you wanted to protect me secretly, and you saw the curtain and the small bolt leaving the palace last night, it means that the place where you are is is very convenient for you to move, excluding the northwest corner, only this is left." ”

"I still can't hide it from you. Gu Qingming smiled and sat down in front of Yun Yao, "I just wanted to help you secretly, but I didn't expect to be found by you so soon." ”

"You're so close to me, within reach, how can I bear not seeing you?" Yun Yao's eyes flashed a trace of shyness, but the words he said were still firm, "The end of the world, the days of seeing lovesickness have already passed enough in Ning Palace." ”

Gu Qingming held Yun Yao's hand and said, "I have wronged you." Yingquan is right, you have always longed for an ordinary life, these hegemony should not let you charge into battle. ”

"It is the ambition of His Royal Highness King Yi to dominate the country, but why is it not your long-cherished wish? I know that you do not have any ideals and ambitions that will go down in history, all you want is to let the people of Daning live in a peaceful and prosperous world. And what I do is the same as what you ask. Since I'm with you, I'm naturally going to be with you, right?"

Hearing these words, Gu Qingming's heart was a little panicked, and being able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the smart girl in front of him was the greatest luck in his life.

Yun Yao also knew that Gu Qingming had never been good at words, and she herself was not the kind of person who liked to listen to meaty words, she saw what he meant from his expression, so she smiled slightly, and said again:

"You entered the palace last night, and you haven't eaten yet, this is the breakfast that Queen Hao sent me, let's eat together. ”

As she spoke, Yun Yao opened the lid of the food box, but the next moment, Gu Qingming suddenly got up, left the table with Yun Yao in his arms, and stood three steps away, throwing a dart in his hand, like an arrow from Lixuan.

Yun Yao was stunned, grabbing the clothes on Gu Qingming's chest with both hands, nestled in his arms, and looked at the darts he threw out.

The dart was now nailed to the seven inches of a snake, nailing the snake to the table, while the snake still had half of its body, still in the food box, entrenched around the dishes.

I saw that the snake's head was triangular, the neck was thin, resembling a soldering iron, the top of the head was thin, the back of the body was bright green, there was a black horizontal band that was not obvious, the abdomen was white, and there was a white stripe on the outermost side of the body from the neck to the tail.

"It's white-lipped bamboo leaf green!" Yun Yao recognized the species of this snake almost at a glance, "It is highly poisonous." ”

"It seems that this Hao Palace is not as calm as it seems on the surface, you have only been in the palace for a few days, and someone has attacked you. Gu Qingming felt the trembling and fear in Yun Yao's body, so he didn't let go of her and said, "As long as you stay by the queen's side, even if someone wants to attack the queen, it will not be so easy." ”

"I'm glad to have you today. Yun Yao raised her head, looked at Gu Qingming's handsome face, and said with trepidation, "This snake is extremely fast and aggressive, if it were just me, I would definitely not be able to dodge." Even if I can detoxify myself, I'm afraid I'll suffer. ”

"This meal is inedible. The snake is dead, and you take this thing to the queen and let her find out the truth, I don't want you to live in this threat and fear every day. Gu Qingming said, and was about to throw the snake back into the food box.

"Wait!" Yun Yao stopped Gu Qingming before he spoke, "Don't you think this is a good opportunity? ”

"You're going to risk your life again!Ah Yao, can't you use a more secure method?Do you have to worry me?" Gu Qingming's handsome and elegant face rarely saw a trace of anger.

Yes, anger.

He was in Qi Yunyao, so he didn't care about himself, knowing that the road ahead was full of danger, but she still plunged into it without hesitation, and no one could persuade her to come back.

"Qingming, I know you're worried about me, and I know the danger, but we don't have any time left. The Queen Mother's birthday has already passed, and the vassal kings must also be on the way back to the fiefdom, if Her Royal Highness can escape this time, he will definitely tear his face with the Queen Mother Qin. The war is imminent, and winning the support of King Hao as soon as possible will be beneficial to you and me. Yun Yao explained.

"You always analyze everything so thoroughly, and you always think about everything for others. But A-Yao, sometimes I would rather you not be so smart and not see everything so clearly, in this case, you won't have such a hard time. Gu Qingming knew that Yun Yao had made up his mind, but he couldn't resist her, so he had to sigh and say, "That's it, do whatever you want, I will always protect you in secret." ”

Hearing this, a smile bloomed on Yun Yao's face, so bright, like the sunshine of this midsummer.

"Thank you, Qingming. Yun Yao said with a smile, "Let's eat, I just read the food, it's not poisonous." But just in case, I still ate this antidote pill first. ”

After speaking, Yun Yao took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out two pills from it, handed one to Gu Qingming, and put the other into her mouth.

Gu Qingming concocted the same method and ate the antidote pill, and the two sat down again and ate the food in the food box.

After breakfast, Yun Yao took the chopsticks and put the dead poisonous snake back into the food box, then closed the lid, and restored it as if nothing had happened.

"Just stay here, and someone will bring lunch. I deliberately asked them to send double copies. Yun Yao said, "I believe that the existence of this snake will definitely scare them for a while." ”

After finishing speaking, Yun Yao left the room with the food box, leaving Gu Qingming to rest in it alone.
