Chapter 308: A Mistake
In the end, Shangguan Li didn't ask any more questions, after all, everyone has their own secrets.
After the rain was a little lighter, Xuanyuan sent Shangguan Li back to the Jingtang and drank a cup of hot tea she had ordered herself before leaving.
"Sister, have you reconciled?"
After sending Xuanyuan Ye away, Xitu came back with a curious face and asked.
"What's reconciled?"
Shangguan Li, who was arranging her hair, raised her eyebrows.
Situ smiled.
"I know, I understand, the book says that those who have a good relationship with each other quarrel like this, they don't say a word, they only care about each other secretly."
The second half of the sentence is crepe, and at first glance, it is copied from which script Xitu doesn't know.
Shangguan Li blinked, then smiled.
"Really? You've memorized the contents of the book, so do you remember what you forgot about it? ”
"Straight to business...... Yes! ”
Xitu finally remembered that Ah Lian had asked her to tell Sister Ah that there was something going on in the medicine hall, but she was first confused by a tomato mixed with sugar, and then Sister Ah went to the palace early this morning, and only now came back.
Because she got up late, she still didn't know that Lian had already come in person.
Shangguan Li smiled coldly.
"I love reading so much, go, pick a random one in the study and read it, and I'll check the progress tomorrow."
Situ: "......"
What?! Isn't it all about the books that she can sleep in for a day, and she can't finish reading a book with a cone on her head.
"You can't eat until you finish reading."
After Situ floated away with a bitter face, Shangguan Li finally had time to change his half-wet clothes. After checking the wound and bandaging it to confirm that there were no signs of infection, I changed my clothes, took out a few herbs, and slowly grinded them.
It seems that the capital has ushered in the rainy season ahead of schedule, and this rain has been falling for several days.
Because of the emperor's order, Shangguan Li would go to the post station every day to talk to Chisokin for a while. Most of the time they talked about flowers and plants, and about business, both of them tacitly did not mention it again.
In the blink of an eye, it was the last day of the fifth day.
The small yard of Chisokin was not well drained, and the rain had accumulated in the yard for several days up to the calf, mixed with fallen petals and leaves falling from nowhere.
"It was also on time today."
Chisokin leaned against the gate of the courtyard, a short section of the eaves could not block the wind and rain, and most of his body was wet, but his blue eyes were bright, like a pool of deep water illuminated by the moonlight.
"You're happy today."
"Because I confirmed one thing."
Obviously, his expression has not changed, but it gives people the feeling that he is very relaxed.
The umbrella in Shangguan Li's hand tilted and channeled the excess water into the courtyard
"I've confirmed one thing, maybe it's the same thing."
"Do you want to say it here?"
Shangguan Li glanced at him.
"I thought the prince wouldn't let me in."
Chisokin acquiesced in his status as a prince, but he did not want to be addressed as His Royal Highness.
"The world is good, and I feel quite close to my identity."
It's just a title, and Shangguan Li also changed his mouth from goodness.
For the first four days, they had finished talking in the yard, even if it was raining heavily. So Shangguan Li felt that he was hiding some secret in the house.
She also thought about waiting for five days to pass and sneak in to take a look.
It doesn't matter if she is found out then, anyway, she has nothing else, and she has a lot of cheek.
"Although I am not from the Central Plains, I also know that it is rude to wet the girl's shoes and socks."
Chisokin said seriously.
Shangguan Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, what kind of politeness is this.
But she didn't say much, waving her hand in agreement.
After a while, the two of them entered the house without touching their feet, the inside did not look like the Central Plains furnishings, if it weren't for the style outside, Shangguan Li would almost think that it was a yurt.
She looked around unceremoniously, and finally her eyes fell on the pile of black debris on the board in the corner.
"That's the medicine I take every day."
Chisokin explained casually.
There were no stools or chairs in the room, except for a bed, only a round carpet in the middle. Chisokin sat down and gave Shangguan Li a gesture of convenience.
Shangguan Li didn't sit down with him, but picked up the residue and carefully discerned it.
"Why, is your emperor still afraid that I will steal other medicines?"
"Who knows."
Shangguan Li picked up a little residue and tasted it, frowning after a while.
"The prince should know that these medicines are extremely damaging to the body."
Kisokin sat in an orderly manner, his eyes following her movements, and a little surprise appeared on his face as cold as a stone when he heard the words.
"Really? I do not know. But with my identity, even if the Great Zhou Emperor kills me on the spot, it's not too much. ”
Shangguan Li sneered in his heart.
People who can raise Gu with their bodies will not know about this herb? Fool a three-year-old.
Shangguan Li has a somewhat unrelenting posture.
"It's really a strong medicine that ordinary people can't touch more, but what about the Gu worm in Shizi's body?"
"What do you know again?"
This is a new discovery in the process of chatting with Shangguan Li, this woman is extremely alert and can see many things from simple things.
Shangguan Li walked over, and then sat down across from him.
"You asked me to hide from the emperor that you have Gu in your body, so the emperor doesn't know that you are in a special situation. It must have been done with no politeness in mind to let people send these medicines. ”
"But because of the Gu worms in your body, these drugs basically have no effect on you. If I were the emperor, I would definitely find things strange. If the emperor has the intention of killing you, he will cut you faster. ”
Chisokin's eyes were slightly fixed, and he looked into her eyes, but did not speak, nor did he refute, there was a sense of encouragement for her to continue.
"But not only did the emperor not kill you, but he also didn't take any other action...... Do you have any consensus? ”
"Ugh."
Chisokin sighed, looking at Shangguan Li's eyes without moving, he said in a sincere tone.
"A smart woman like you, if only I had one."
Shangguan Li: "I'm sorry, I don't have skills." ”
But he was as interested as if he had found a new topic.
"You're a lot like someone I know, she's smart too, just overly kind."
"You think I'm kind?"
"Nope."
Chisokin's answer was categorical.
"That's good, people can't be too kind."
Shangguan Li glanced at the patterns on the carpet and turned the topic back.
"You haven't told me yet, what did you discuss with the emperor."
Is it about Regulus Night?
"That was a mistake."
