Chapter 169: Hoarseness

Guan Jiyu had just walked out of the gate of Xianglin City Mansion not far away, and saw Xia Mingzhong riding a horse and walking towards her, she originally thought that it was just a chance encounter, but who knew that Xia Mingzhong immediately grabbed the reins and stopped when he saw her.

Xia Mingzhong got off the horse directly, looked at Guan Jiyu, and said, "I was looking for you."

Guan Jiyu was puzzled and said, "Is there something wrong? I was thinking of going to the king again to try my luck and see if the guests inside had left." She joked: "I'm always dizzy today, I can't leave the medicine of the palace, no matter what today, even if I use a knife to "force" the prince, I have to get that prescription."

Xia Mingzhong said seriously: "You don't have to force him with a knife, as long as you open your mouth, he will definitely give it to you."

Guan Jiyu was amused by his serious expression, so he had to say in embarrassment: "Just kidding, just kidding, haha."

Guan Jiyu is not a person who likes to joke, Xia Mingzhong is serious and cautious, and at this moment, because of her very dry "haha" twice, the atmosphere is a little indescribably embarrassing.

She immediately closed her mouth after laughing, but Xia Mingzhong didn't seem to care, and said, "Not only that prescription, but also the problems left over from your body, the nourishing things you need to eat, drink, and drink, you can ask the palace to provide you with solutions."

He added faintly, "He owes you this matter, and he should have given you those things."

Guan Jiyu naturally knew who Xia Mingzhong said "he", but King Ying was Xia Mingzhong's master, for so long, Guan Jiyu had always felt that Xia Mingzhong was a ruthless swordsman who had no feelings and would only listen to King Ying's dispatch alone, and his heart would probably only think about King Ying, but he didn't want to hear such a sentence from his mouth today.

Guan Jiyu's mind was chaotic, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

She didn't want to talk about the old story of who owed whom. The most important thing at the moment is to get the prescription, she still wants to hang this life, and then find a way to take revenge.

"It's all over, forget it." Guan Jiyu said that he didn't care, and said, "I just want to get the prescription, so I don't have to come to the palace to disturb from now on."

Xia Mingzhong's eyes were something she couldn't understand, he held the nullah knife in one hand, and suddenly grabbed Guan Jiyu's arm with the other, and said, "Do you think this matter has passed?"

Guan Jiyu stared at the hand he was holding onto him, half surprised and half confused, and said, "Huh?"

"Come with me, we'll ask again!" Xia Mingzhong couldn't help but say and pulled her forward.

Guan Jiyu didn't know what he wanted to do, so he hurriedly said, "Who else are you asking? How else to ask? It's been so long, if I could ask it, I would have asked it a long time ago!"

Xia Mingzhong seemed to have an iron heart, his eyes were terrifyingly persistent, and said, "Have you forgotten how desperate you looked at the beginning? Okay, the scar forgot the pain? Even if you don't have parents, you don't have a prominent family background, even if you're just an ordinary person, no one in this world cares about you, but you should cherish yourself, you know?"

Guan Jiyu was secretly surprised in his heart after hearing this: Where is this?

However, because Xia Mingzhong's momentum was really intimidating, she could only nod and respond, "I understand, I will cherish myself."

After saying that, Guan Jiyu himself felt that he was very weak, not only physically weak, but also weak when he spoke.

"Then follow me." He dragged Guan Jiyu, but his pace slowed down slightly, and said, "Go find the golden cicada."

When he arrived at Xiang Lincheng's mansion, he met Xiang Lincheng who was about to go out, Xu saw Guan Jiyu coming back again, Xiang Lincheng's eyes lit up, and said, "Are you back?"

Without waiting for Guan Jiyu to answer, Xia Mingzhong hugged his fists and said, "Second Prince Xiang, I want to ask Miss Jin Cicada about some medicinal materials, is it not only convenient?"

Xiang Lincheng let out a "hmm" and said, "She's at home."

The sentence "she is at home" made Guan Jiyu suddenly sigh, although the two are about to get married, but if you really have to count it, the golden cicada has not yet passed the door.

Xiang Lincheng is really impatient, this is called "family".

Although Guan Jiyu thought a lot in her heart, her face was calm, she didn't pay attention to Xiang Lincheng, and only stood quietly beside Xia Mingzhong.

Xiang Lincheng went out in a hurry, put on a coat and left. After a while, Jin Cicada slowly walked out, and when she saw Guan Jiyu and Xia Mingzhong standing together, her eyebrows raised in surprise, and said, "Lord Xia, I haven't seen you for a while, why did you come here this time?"

Xia Mingzhong said, "Excuse me, Miss Golden Cicada." There was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, and he said, "I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm still here for that."

Jin Cicada immediately understood, she seemed to be surprised for a moment, and said, "It's been so long, haven't you found it yet?"

"If I find it, I don't have to bother you anymore." Xia Mingzhong looked directly into Jin Cicada's eyes calmly, and said, "I can't find anything for a day, don't say it's me, the prince can't let go after all, and he is always worried about this matter. At that time, there was no one else in the house, and I could only investigate a few possible people, I hope you can understand."

Jin Cicada remained silent, she even looked at Guan Jiyu on the side, and then said, "I understand, just looking at Miss Guan's face now, I know the seriousness of the matter, I have seen Miss Guan in the past, such a heroic appearance, I really admire." Now that he is so weak, it is not very pleasant for people to look at him."

"Just understand." Xia Mingzhong said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, please remember it well, and tell me what you saw at that time."

Jin Chan nodded and readily agreed, and said in a soft voice, "Although more than a year has passed, I will never forget the events of that day."

She thought for a moment and said, "It was already late that day, because my room was not in the backyard of the palace, and the room was too stuffy that day, so I thought it would be cool outside, so I simply walked to the backyard, just wanting to blow the wind." Jin Chan looked at Guan Jiyu again and said, "When I arrived in the backyard, I saw Miss Guan sitting alone on the stone steps, she was lying on her knees, I walked over and wanted to talk to her, but Miss Guan was not very interested, so she ignored me after saying a few words."

Guan Jiyu had an impression of the events of that night, so he explained, "It's not that I ignored you, I was dizzy all day because of my cultivation, and I was so tired that I fell asleep."

Jin Chan smiled lightly and said, "I didn't take it to heart, most people who practice martial arts are always informal."

Xia Mingzhong was still staring at her every movement, and slowly spoke, "When you were next to Miss Guan at that time, did you see the book that she almost never left in her hand?"

"Nope." Jin Cicada maintained a light smile and said, "I still answered the same way, I didn't see it."

She said very surely, Guan Jiyu looked at Xia Mingzhong after hearing this, and said, "Brother Xia?"

Xia Mingzhong was thoughtful, he paused for a moment before giving up the question, but then asked another thing: "Miss Jin Cicada, not long ago, I passed by Liujia Village and saw that the people of the Liu family set up a sacrificial feast, and I remembered that the son of the Liu family had been dead for a year." He seemed to point out, "It's normal that my late husband didn't see you on the day of his death, but I turned around and heard the news from the prince that you were going to get married, so I was a little curious. Golden Cicada girl, you ...... so soon?"

Jin Chan's face quickly turned pale, and she was unwilling: "Liu Jian is no longer here, but my life has to go on, can't I choose another good husband to live well?"

"Of course, you can." Xia Mingzhong crossed his arms and said calmly, "I don't mean anything else."

Jin Cicada's temper has always been docile and gentle, but mentioning this matter at this moment is like stepping on her tail, her face turned white for a while and became red because she was really unwilling in her heart.

She looked at Xia Mingzhong aggrievedly, and shouted angrily: "Lord Xia, I am just an ordinary person, you are the person next to the prince, we don't interfere with the river water in the well, why do you always hold on to me?"

"Oh?" Xia Mingzhong tilted his head and asked, "What do you mean by this? I'm just curious to ask, so why are you so excited?"

Xia Mingzhong shrugged his shoulders and said, "On the day of Liu Gongzi's funeral, I saw you crying

Sad, my eyes are red and swollen. I'm just thinking, Liu Gongzi has only been dead for a year, and you can fall in love with Xiang Er Gongzi, and then decide to get married, I'm just surprised by such a fast speed. What I'm curious about is your marriage, do the people of the Liu family know? Didn't Liu Jane's mother come to you?"

As soon as Xia Mingzhong said this, Guan Jiyu immediately stared at him with wide eyes and disbelief. Although he has always been low-key and silent, he is measured in what he says, I don't know what happened to him today, every word he talks to Jin Cicada is a thorn, and every sentence seems to be deliberately sarcastic about Jin Cicada.

Guan Jiyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pulled Xia Mingzhong's sleeve, and tried to stop him, "Brother Xia......"

At this moment, Jin Cicada could no longer hold back the anger in her heart, she shouted at the top of her voice, "You, you are too bullying!" When Guan Jiyu looked at Jin Cicada again, Jin Cicada's eyes were already filled with tears.

Jin Chan was still aggrieved, and with some anger after being humiliated, he said, "What does my marriage have to do with them?! Liu Jian is dead! Even if he didn't die, I wouldn't be a member of the Liu family anymore, I thought that only the people of the Liu family couldn't figure it out, so they just blindly pestered me, but that's it!" Her tears rolled down one by one, and she trembled, "Do you want to say this about me, Lord Xia?"

The tears slowly flowed down the golden cicada's chin, and anyone who saw it would feel pity.

But Xia Mingzhong didn't have any waves on his face, and said, "It seems that Liu Jian saw you walk out of the second son of Xiang's mansion before he died." He lowered his wrapped arms and said nonchalantly, "I forgot, I don't remember very well."

Xia Mingzhong's words were not salty or light, which simply made Jin Cicada embarrassed.

Jin Cicada's face spread to the root of her ears like a burning cloud, her eyes were shocked, and she looked at Xia Mingzhong in a daze, and her tears could no longer flow.

Xia Mingzhong cleared his throat and continued to be aggressive: "Think about it again, Miss Jin Cicada, do you think about it after all, have you seen Miss Guan's lost book?"

Crazy, he must be crazy!

Guan Jiyu's heart can no longer be described as shocked at this moment, this is the first time she has seen this way of interrogating people, obviously she has already finished asking, but Xia Mingzhong still has to ask some more questions to anger Jin Cicada, and then it is about the matter of losing the book.

Not to mention the golden cicada, Guan Jiyu felt that he was about to collapse when he heard it!

Jin Cicada was really even angrier, and she almost said hoarsely, "I didn't see it, I didn't see it! I've said it a million times, but I haven't seen it!"

The green tendons on her neck burst out, and the emotions just now only increased, and she almost roared, "What happened to me marrying the people of the Liu family? Miss Guan, if the final chapter of a book is lost, what does it matter to me? Why can't you just let me go?!"
