Pan Wulang just wanted to open his mouth, but Cui Yuanting directly interrupted him: "Don't prevaricate me, if the two of them die or disappear tonight, then I will treat today's matter as if you Pan Wulang arranged it and has nothing to do with Cao Fenglin." ”

Pan Wulang had no choice but to nod and take the door.

Only Lingfu and Cui Yuanting were left in the house.

The candle flame flickered, and a candle flower burst out with a "pop", and the shape of the cigarette from the golden incense burner rolled gracefully into the air.

The cuckoo's cry came through the window, and such a warm April spring night should have been quiet and peaceful.

The Spirit Mansion is still lying on the soft collapse.

It's not that she doesn't want to get up, it's that she hasn't woken up from her stupor.

Cui Yuanting silently walked to a circle chair a few steps away and sat down, slowly lowering his head.

He thought she might need space at the moment.

He was even a little scared that she would be disgusted that he was here now.

After a long time, he sighed invisibly: "I was negligent today, and I can't help you." ”

Lingfu closed his eyes, gathered his strength, and sat up with his body propped up.

She glanced down at her clothes and searched the room for her coat.

Fortunately, the maidservants just took it off for her, and didn't hide it for her.

Her only men's shirt was now hanging on the screen on the west wall.

What she was wearing now was by no means revealing to her former eyes, but now she felt embarrassed.

Perhaps unconsciously, she has become conservative and conformist;

Maybe it's here, her body has been viciously calculated again and again, which makes her subconsciously aggravate the idea of wrapping herself.

Perhaps, she urgently needed to have the following conversation with Cui Yuanting in a formal manner, so she said in a deep voice: "Excuse me, give me my coat." ”

Cui Yuanting turned around when he heard this, followed Lingfu's gaze and walked over to give her his coat.

After a brief meeting of eyes, Cui Yuanting turned his back again, this time not walking away.

Lingfu put on his coat: "Don't blame the county honor, it's because I don't drink well, thank you for coming in time." ”

Hearing this, Cui Yuanting couldn't help but want to turn back, but after all, he endured it, and sighed silently.

But he didn't understand what he was sighing about.

Is it a sigh even if it is by her own side, or does it make her suffer such a thing? Or sigh at her indifferent words, easily separated him from the care he wanted to care about her, and refused to reveal a little inner emotion to him?

After a moment of silence, Cui Yuanting said, "You haven't drunk?" ”

Lingfu lowered her eyes, she had drunk wine, and at the farewell banquet before graduating from college, she drank two cans of beer, and was put back by her dormitory people to sleep until the next morning.

So she knew that she was a shallow drinker, so she set a bottom line for herself: never drink more than one can of beer.

When Cao Fenglin toasted, she hesitated. But I remember seeing Wu Song drink eighteen bowls in Jingyanggang and still be able to kill a tiger, which is of course unusual for heroes, but it is also that the degree of wine brewing in the past was not so high, right?

That's why she dared to drink that little glass of wine.

Who knows that it's wrong to drink the whole person.

"I won't drink it anymore." She spoke low.

Cui Yuanting couldn't help frowning, he drank a lot of wine at today's banquet, it was indeed a good wine, but to say that a glass of wine was drunk like that......

"What does the wine you drink taste like?" Cui Yuanting asked.

Lingfu recalled carefully: "The wine is a little green, a little sour in the mouth, and a little astringent. ”

Cui Yuanting turned to look at her: "The wine I drank today is sweetened with honey, and the green wine is generally impure turbidity, and what everyone drinks today is filtered wine, which is amber." ”

Lingfu understood, so the wine given to her was a "special" model!

It was all premeditated.

Lingfu's heart suddenly felt a chill.

Cui Yuanting was also shocked. In front of him, these people dare to do this, what else is there in Chuyi County that they dare not do?

He wandered around the room, his gaze falling on the smoky golden incense burner.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door - "Slave maid Cui Sleeve and Cui Yu listen to the orders of the county honor!" ”

Cui Yuanting and Lingfu glanced at each other, then walked to the incense burner, lifted the lid, took a small piece of incense bait that had not yet burned from it, wrapped it, and put it in his sleeve.

Lingfu looked at his actions, thinking about Cui Yuanting's intentions, and saw him open the door of the room, standing at the door with a long body of jade, looking down at the two slaves and maids kneeling outside the door.

"You two are here tonight?" Cui Yuanting's voice was full of coldness.

The two slaves were shocked by this voice, and hurriedly lowered their heads and replied: "If you go back to the county, it is the slaves and maids who serve Xu Xiaoniang to rest here, and then they left because they saw the girl sleeping." ”

Cui Yuanting said suddenly: "Before you left, did you see Cao Fenglin?" ”

The two slaves lowered their heads: "No, the slaves and maids didn't see anyone, and they closed the door when they left." ”

Cui Yuanting: "Then everything in this room is also taken care of by the two of you?" ”

"Yes......"

"Which of you lit the incense in this censer?"

Hearing this, the two slaves looked down at each other, and after a few seconds, one of them called Cui Sleeve said, "It was ordered by the slave and maid." ”

"Okay." Cui Yuanting nodded, "You take some of the same incense bait and give it to this official." ”

Cui Sleeve's body trembled, and he said after a while: "Yes......"

She stood up hesitantly, passed past Cui Yuanting with her head down, came to the room, took out a small box from the Duobao Pavilion, and presented it to Cui Yuanting.

"Open." Cui Yuanting ordered with an expressionless face.

Emerald Sleeves had to lift the lid to reveal the bait inside.

Cui Yuanting glanced at it, took out a few and sniffed them under his nose, then dusted off the bait - this is not the kind of bait in the wrong golden incense burner, even the color has subtle differences that can be seen by the naked eye.

"You are slaves and maids, and it is your duty to be obedient and do things." Cui Yuanting said word by word, "However, if you still lie in front of the official, your master will not be able to protect you!" ”

Cui Sleeve hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "County Zun Mingjian, slaves and maids don't dare to deceive!" ”

Cui Yuanting stood with his hands in his hands, and his tone was a little bored: "That's it, the official doesn't need to ask again, you two are not allowed to go anywhere, just kneel outside the door." ”

Cui Sleeve got up, put the box on the desk, bowed out, and knelt side by side with Cui Yu.

Cui Yuanting closed the door with an unkind face, picked up a teapot from the desk and poured it directly on the incense burner, and the incense burner emitted a burst of smoke, and then fell silent.

Cui Yuanting walked to the side of Lingfu: "Give me your hand." ”

Lingfu was stunned for a moment, but still stretched out his right hand.

Cui Yuanting reached out to catch her pulse and closed his eyes silently.

Lingfu was a little puzzled: "The county lord will still diagnose the pulse?" ”

Cui Yuanting opened his eyes and let go of his hand after a while, looking at her clearly: "I remember telling you that no one can call me by my name, why do you want to take a county honor?" ”

Lingfu opened his mouth and thought for a while before saying, "But you have really accepted me as an entourage." ”

"When did I tell someone you were my retinue?" Cui Yuanting asked.

Lingfu suddenly couldn't figure out what Cui Yuanting meant.

His expression seemed to be a little angry at the moment, so he obediently remained silent.

Who knew that Cui Yuanting did not intend to stop because of her silence, but stared at her with those charming starry eyes and said, "What did I say at today's dinner?" ”
