Chapter 13: Poisoning

"Wait a minute!" Xuan Liuyao blurted out.

Fu Feiyan didn't speak, waiting for him to speak.

"Leave him behind."

"Nope."

Xuan Liuyao looked up at Fu Feiyan, she also lowered her head slightly to look at him, her eyes were like autumn water, cold and resolute.

That's it, presumably Ah Jiu will stay here, and she will find the wrong place in the future, so it is better to send it back to the court to have a new place to go, and if you are lucky, you may be able to do some idle work. He lowered his head, ready to give up.

Ah Jiu, who was only one breath away from the dead, suddenly knelt down, kowtowed and begged: "Niangniang, the little one knows that he is wrong, please keep me." ”

His head was prostrate, his hands stretched straight forward, his fingers were as thin as chicken feet, as if there was only a thin layer of blue skin wrapped around the bones, and he looked very pitiful.

For three months, he did suffer.

Fu Feiyan's eyes also flashed a trace of unbearability, but he still said ruthlessly: "Ah Jiu, the mistakes you made can be executed, and Nian Zai can be regarded as having a remedy, and the six princes have been interceding for you, and today I have exempted you from responsibility and let you have a place to go again, you should be satisfied." ”

"Niangniang, I have been thinking about it every day these days, and I have been thinking about the six princes in my heart, I was not optimistic about the six princes, so that His Royal Highness was in danger, and the little one is willing to make up for it with the rest of his life, and serve the six princes wholeheartedly, begging Niangniang not to drive me out." Ah Jiu kowtowed like pounding garlic, and his forehead hit the ground, making a loud noise.

This voice knocked on Xuan Liuyao's heart.

It's just a child, and it's affected by himself.

He couldn't help it any longer, jumped off the bed, and held Ah Jiu's forehead. Ah Jiu's shoulders shrugged, and tears dripped down, wetting Xuan Liuyao's fingertips.

This picture of the deep affection of the master and servant moved everyone in the house. Fu Feiyan seemed to be on fire, and she couldn't help but regret it. If I knew this was the case, I should have sent it away.

But now, if she still insists on driving Ah Jiu out, she will seem to be cold-blooded and ruthless.

She could only sigh reluctantly: "Miss your loyalty, stay." If you dare to make mistakes again in the future, you will definitely not forgive. ”

Ah Jiu kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

He slowly looked up at Xuan Liuyao, and there was life in his backwater-like eyes: "Your Highness, the little one can wait for you again." ”

Xuan Liuyao was moved. He nodded, and went to wipe Ah Jiu's tears distressedly, but his shoulders tightened, and he was carried aside by Fu Feiyan. She didn't want to look at this kind of grinding and chirping with tearful eyes in her hands, and looked down at him: satisfied, right?

How can you not be satisfied? Shangyang and Ah Jiu, who were good to him, she stayed.

Xuan Liuyao tilted his head and smiled at her, his big apricot kernel-like eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and his two white front teeth were exposed, obviously extremely satisfied.

------------

The days passed peacefully, and Ah Jiu, who was as thin as a skeleton, gradually grew flesh, like a seedling that had been withered and wilted, and slowly regained its upright and green.

At the beginning, he and other little yellow doors took turns to follow Xuan Liuyao's side, but even if he was not on duty, he would follow, accompany Xuan Liuyao from the Wanqing Palace to Qianshan Garden, and when he got out of school, he waited in Qianshan Garden early and accompanied him from Qianshan Garden back to Wanqing Palace.

Slowly, he settled beside Xuan Liuyao.

Ah Jiu waited in front of the saddle and behind the horse.

Xuan Liuyao had always eaten and dressed himself, but Ah Jiu began to dress and put on shoes for him diligently, if he refused, he would look at it pitifully, with a look of grievance for fear of being kicked out. Like a puppy that has been abandoned by its owner and finally re-accepted, it will only be at ease if it is more accepting than before.

Xuan Liuyao had no choice but to let him go, and gradually became accustomed to stretching out his hands for clothes and opening his mouth for food.

Fall, fall.

Xuan Liuyao often sighed in his heart, but he felt that such days seemed to be more comfortable than before.

However, Shangyang, who was supposed to be a strict teacher, was also kind to him, even though he sometimes forgot the respect and humility of teachers and students, and when in doubt, he would unconsciously pat his husband on the shoulder with both hands.

Shangyang didn't mind, but he had a lot of control over Xuan Liuyao's behavior.

Standing like a pine, sitting like a clock, walking like the wind, I can't wait to follow up the evening palace to see if he has done "lying like a bow" when he sleeps at night, if his body is a little loose, Shangyang's nagging will definitely ring in his ears in time.

As a result, Xuan Liuyao behaved dignifiedly, but he looked calm, and he had the demeanor of a young man in his gestures.

Fu Feiyan is very satisfied with this.

Shangyang is also very satisfied.

Of course, there are people who are not satisfied.

For example, during the New Year's holiday, a family banquet will be arranged in the palace, and the saint and the concubines and princes will sit together, with delicious food and wine, singing and dancing.

Even if there are only three princes left in the entire palace.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, Xuan Liuyao was already five years old, Xuan Wuyao was seven years old, and Xuan was eleven years old in the fourth year.

The three princes stood in front of the Holy Lord.

Xuan Si Si is now more heroic and upright than the previous Xuan Sanjin, and Xuan Wuyao has a lot of naivety because of his round face and slightly fat body. Although Xuan Liuyao is the youngest, he also has a graceful and extraordinary.

Xuan Shide looked at his only three sons, his eyes were bright with satisfaction, but his face was full of cheekbones and dull complexion, which made people worry about his body. It's just that everyone is happy right now, and no one dares to say anything that spoils the fun.

Especially Fu Feiyan.

In the past two years, Xuan Shi has only been able to come to Wanqing Palace a handful of times, and she is worried that if Xuan Shi goes suddenly, she is not sure that she can send Xuan Liuyao to the throne.

At this time, the concubine Mei Ziqing and the queen Fu Feiyan sat on both sides of Xuan, each looking at their son with appreciation. As soon as his gaze slipped forward, he saw the other party's son, as if he had a nail in his eye, and his heart was not happy.

Satisfied, Xuan Shi received the salute of his three sons, and let them each sit down at the table. Under the table, the prince and the concubines sat in turn. Xuan Liuyao sat opposite Xuan 4 years, and Xuan Wuyao sat at the bottom of Xuan 4 years.

Mei Ziqing was not very satisfied with this arrangement, she glanced at Xuan Si Si on the side, and motioned to him to remind Xuan Wuyao and Xuan Liuyao to change positions, so that the two sons were close to the saint.

Xuan Wuyao was recruited in the fourth year of Xuan and gave him two orders.

Then Xuan Wuyao walked to Xuan Liuyao's side and politely said, "Sixth brother, let us change our position, you can sit over there." ”

It's as natural as a fruit. If it is a fruit, Xuan Liuyao will give it happily.

He sat still, and only said with a smile: "Fifth Emperor Brother, don't bother, I'm sitting well." ”

"But the queen mother will let me change."

"The queen mother never said, the fifth emperor brother sit back quickly, be careful that your father will test your knowledge."

"Oh." Xuan Wuyao obediently went back.

Xuan Liuyao glanced at it, just in time for the resentful gaze of Shangmei Ziqing and Xuan Si. He smiled at them, as if he didn't understand what they meant.

The delicacies are served like flowing water, and there are dancers with thin waists like willows dancing in the sound of silk and bamboo, and the wide sleeves open into pink clouds in the air, and the water dances like a peach blossom forest in the south of the Yangtze River.

This situation is very familiar.

It's not just that such a banquet is held every festival in the palace, but it is also like he was in a certain previous life, and he also sang and danced like this, and he also sat like this, with a monarch above and a hundred officials below.

At that time, he was a general who returned from the border front victoriously and rewarded the knighthood, but in such a bustle, he was suddenly held down and tied up, and the knighthood was only two days, and he became a prisoner until he died, and he did not know what crime he had committed.

However, he also knows that what he committed is nothing more than a high achievement.

And it was not only the monarch who planned all this, but also some people on the side of the monarch. Because the grace of the monarch is limited, and if he gains more, some people will receive less.

At this moment, if Xuan Shi pampered him more, Xuan Shi would have less favor in the fourth year.

In the final analysis, it is all the selfish desires in people's hearts.

Selfish desires can override the love of brothers, fathers and sons.

Xuan Liuyao was in a trance, subconsciously went to get the wine glass, and when he drank it in his mouth, he found that the wine was light and white, just a glass of sweet rice wine. Just now, Ah Jiu seemed to have removed the strong wine dew for him, and replaced it with this cup of light wine suitable for his young son.

But at this time, he just wanted to drink a strong glass of wine to soothe the loss and frustration in his heart. It seems that entering the WTO with memories is not necessarily a good thing, at least, he should be carefree, but he has pretended to have so many painful pasts.

He put the sweet rice wine aside boringly, glanced sideways at Ah Jiu standing behind him, and thought to himself that these little palace slaves were also pitiful, their backgrounds were pitiful, and it was pitiful to be a slave in the palace, and they were even more pitiful when they were full of delicious food but couldn't taste it.

He looked around as if no one cared, and then turned back and hooked his fingers.

Ah Jiu hurriedly squatted over: "Your Highness, what are your orders?" ”

He pushed the sweet rice wine to Ah Jiu: "This sweet rice wine tastes good, give it to you to drink." ”

Ah Jiu's originally white face seemed to be even whiter, and he hesitated: "Your Highness, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

"It's okay, no one sees it, I'll block it for you." Xuan Liuyao raised his elbow and used his wide sleeves to block Xuan's sight, urging Ah Jiu behind his sleeves.

Ah Jiuzhan trembled and picked up the wine glass, his hands trembled as if he was striking a gong, and the whitened rice wine spilled out of the glass, splashing Xuan Liuyao's robe.

Ah Jiu hurriedly threw down the wine glass and wiped the hem of his wet robe with his sleeve.

Their movements attracted the sideways glances of others, Xuan Liuyao hurriedly sat up straight, picked up chopsticks and ate slowly, and waited until their eyes turned away, then they glanced back at Ah Jiu, and whispered a reproach: "Out of breath." ”

Looking closely, Ah Jiu had already stood back in the place where he was standing, and his hands were still trembling slightly, obviously because the palpitations had not disappeared.

The once as bold and fearless Ah Jiu as he used to be is gone, and at this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is as timid as a mouse. Xuan Liuyao thought that all of this was caused by himself, and he felt very uncomfortable, and his stomach was even more uncomfortable, and he was a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.

It's just that the banquet is only halfway, and it is not appropriate to leave the table at this time.

He endured it for a while, only to feel that the strength slowly ran out of his body, and his intestines were also secretly competing, each stirring, as if a fine needle had been thrown in it, and the fine pain that could not be touched.

If you don't leave the table, I'm afraid that I will become a permanent joke in this palace.

Xuan Liuyao could only signal Ah Jiu to help him, bent over with his stomach covered, and slipped out in embarrassment in front of everyone.

Although it was a mid-autumn night, the moonlight was not very clear.

On the road, the footsteps are chaotic. Ah Jiu carried Xuan Liuyao on his back, and was urged by Ah Shui and them, and stumbled towards the Wanqing Palace.

The pain in Xuan Liuyao's abdomen became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but scream, only breathing heavily, but it was also uncomfortable.

It's like being poisoned, and when he was poisoned to death in one life, he also had such abdominal pain and exhaustion. It seems that he is the only one who has been poisoned, and this poison is coming at himself.

Tonight, who is close to his own diet, there are Xuan Wuyao, Ah Jiu, and the dancing girl with fluttering sleeves, who will it be?

Could it be Ah Jiu?

Smack!

Ah Jiu suddenly stumbled under his feet, and Xuan Liuyao had Xuan Liuyao on his back, and he fell on the bluestone road alive, and the crisp sound of the skin and flesh touching the bluestone was especially as loud as a slap, thinking that he fell not lightly.
