Chapter 16: Suspicion
"It is said that the divine doctor is the bright moon in the sky, and it is really surprising to meet here today."
Bei Jinchuan smiled on his face, and his feet pressed step by step.
Jiang Wan's eyes flashed, and she took a few steps back.
"As a restaurant, it's normal to entertain guests and meet here."
The young man's eyes were clear, his expression was flat, and even his tone was indifferent.
Bei Jinchuan sneered lightly, obviously not believing his rhetoric, and had no intention of delving into it.
"Why didn't you see that little guard of yours today?"
He undressed and sat down at the table, and added himself a cup of tea, as if he were asking casually.
Jiang Wan didn't answer, she was noble and tall.
"Is this part of the healing process?"
The voice was faint and didn't have much emotion, but it sounded displeased in Beijinchuan.
He put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the young man standing aside, his eyes narrowed slightly, he couldn't tell what it meant, and the aura around him was scattered and dangerous.
"You said it was a coincidence, this king was chased and killed by a group of dead soldiers today, and he followed the clues all the way to find here, and he was about to find the person behind the scenes, but he was alarmed by the movement you made downstairs and let him escape."
The tone was faint, as if he was explaining an ordinary story, but the smile in his eyes did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Jiang Wan's eyelashes fluttered, and her whole person was colder than before.
Frowning, "Are you suspicious of me?" β
Bei Jinchuan couldn't deny it, and didn't answer her question, but took out a silver needle from his cuff and played with it in his fingertips, reflecting the cold light of Sensen.
"This is the weapon used by the murderer behind the scenes."
He got up, walked on his slender legs, and approached the boy unhurriedly.
Jiang Wan's eyes fell on the silver needle, and her eyes darkened.
The size and thickness of the silver needles are the same as those she often uses. But this silver needle is indeed not hers, and she is not stupid enough to assassinate the prince of Shao in Shao.
"This silver needle bears some resemblance to mine, but it is indeed not mine, and I don't need to send someone to assassinate you."
Of course, Bei Jinchuan knew that the dead man was not sent by a teenager, and the other party's methods were clumsy and too stupid, how could it be a teenager?! It seems like he was deliberately led here. But this did not prevent him from suspecting that she had ulterior motives in coming to Shao Country.
He curled the corners of his lips and smiled lightly, approaching the boy step by step, leaning down and whispering in her ear.
"Hide the divine doctor, don't let this king find out."
Her voice was low, her upper and lower lips were closed as she spoke, and she brushed her earlobes intentionally or unintentionally, and her tone was so suspicious that it was obvious, and there was a little tapping in her words.
Jiang Wan's back was straight, her body trembled slightly, her snort was full of his taste, her face was cold, and only the tips of her ears were slightly red.
Long before the young man was angry and wanted to push him away, Bei Jinchuan stepped back and pulled away to a safe distance. The rolling ink under his eyes had not subsided, and the silver needle swirled around his fingertips, and he didn't enter the door with a whoosh.
The resignation seat guarding outside the door was startled by this movement, and raised his leg to break in, but was stopped by Du Ruo expressionlessly, looking at the sword exposed in Du Ruo's hand, the resignation seat was angry and annoyed but helpless.
"Childe, are you alright?"
She had no choice but to shout outside the door.
"Childe, tomorrow you have to enter the palace to treat the Queen Mother, Childe ......"
I only hope that His Royal Highness King Qi will take care of the Queen Mother and not do anything excessive to the prince.
Du Ruo looked at the little girl, both openly and secretly, reminding the divine doctor to be careful and safe, and wondered in his heart.
Is my prince so terrible?
The resignation seat was walking back and forth outside the door in a hurry, she shouldn't have listened to the words of the prince, let the prince stay alone with him, what if he was injured and the son?
There is no one around Gongzi to protect him, and the prince looks very powerful, and the big wood doesn't know where to go?!
The more the little girl thought about it, the more anxious she became, but Du Ruo was like a cold sword pestle there, she neither advanced nor retreated, so she had to stare at him angrily.
Du Ruo: ......
Bei Jinchuan listened to the anxious voice of the little girl outside the door, looked at the young man's noble face and smiled lightly.
He casually rubbed the plate ring on his thumb, and returned to the image of His Royal Highness King Jin, who refused to be thousands of miles away.
"The little girl outside the door sounds very anxious."
He lifted the jade pot and poured himself a cup of tea, as if nothing had happened before, and he looked like the years were quiet.
Jiang Wan's indifferent eyes finally had a touch of positive color, and they fell on him coldly, without any joy or anger.
"The little girl is not sensible, I hope the king of Qi will forgive me if she offends."
The words were so flat that they didn't even fluctuate in tone, but Bei Jinchuan sounded like a short-term protection, and he was a little unhappy in his heart inexplicably.
watched the young man gently comfort the little girl outside the door, and even explained to the door with a little warmth in his voice.
"It's fine, I'm fine."
The unhappiness in Bei Jinchuan's heart is even worse.
He hooked his fingers on the jade pot and poured another cup of tea and pushed it to the opposite side.
"Not bad." Bei Jinchuan held the tea, raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man standing in the distance, and he didn't know if he was talking about tea or people.
Jiang Wan sat down opposite him according to his wishes, her face was still cold, and she looked at him lightly, but she didn't move the cup of tea.
"What, I'm afraid that this king will be poisoned?" Bei Jinchuan curled his fingers on the table, and there was a casual smile on his face.
Jiang Wan suddenly felt that His Royal Highness King Qi at this time was naΓ―ve like a child, and even a little unreasonable cuteness.
Tulip tea, a kind of famous tea unique to the Red Sleeve Pavilion, is dark green in color, fragrant and mellow, sweet in the mouth, and has the effect of nourishing the stomach and calming the nerves.
But this tulip tea also has a special place, that is, the tulip tea must wait for the tea to cool down before it is sweet, if the tea is still hot, it is extremely bitter.
In order to maintain the taste of the tulip tea, the inside of the pot is made with hot water.
Jiang Wan's face was cold, but there was a little more smile between the corners of her eyes.
"Don't dare."
She calmly held the teacup in her hand and drank it all under Bei Jinchuan's gaze.
The bitterness of the mouth spread among the taste buds, and if she hadn't been used to her face not changing, she was afraid that now she would have done what he wanted.
Seeing that the young man's face did not change and drank it all, he couldn't see anything abnormal in his cold face, and Bei Jinchuan was also very boring, so he simply didn't go around in circles with the young man, and went straight into it with one shot.
"This king believes that this matter has nothing to do with the divine doctor, but it is too coincidental that the divine doctor appears here."
He said nonchalantly, his gaze fell on the young man's slightly raised Adam's apple for a moment, and then continued.
"It's better for the divine doctor to tell me the purpose of coming here, so that this king can dispel his suspicions."
Looking at the dark green tea in the tea cup reflecting his figure, his posture was casual, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
A coincidence may be a coincidence, but if the boy came here for no other purpose, he really didn't believe it.
Jiang Wan sighed in her heart, quite helpless, if she didn't give a suitable reason, with King Qi's intelligence, I was afraid that she would guess a few points.
"Find someone."
She replied calmly, looking at Bei Jinchuan's deep eyes, her pupils narrowed slightly, and even her expression was a little more angry.
He was just curious about what such a lonely person came here for, but he didn't expect to come up with such an interesting answer.
"Who?" The overlapping long legs retracted, and the casualness on his body retreated, and he stared straight at the young man, not letting go of any strange expression on the young man's face.
Jiang Wan's noble face was not shocked, there was no emotion in it, and she still replied in a shocked manner.
"Red Sleeve Pavilion top card, Qin Ke'er."
Bei Jinchuan was rarely a little confused, he had just thought about the possibility of countless people in his mind, but he didn't expect to hear such an unfamiliar name spit out from the young man's mouth coldly, and he didn't react for a while.
Seeing that the young man's clear eyes were clean and beautiful, not like a fake, he lowered his eyes and was still thinking about the truth of this sentence. I don't know what came to mind, but he suddenly propped up the table and leaned in.
"Heh, this is the confidante of the divine doctor?" dragged the tail note up, lazy and evil, the whole person squinted, and there was an indescribable sense of oppression.
The distance was a little too close, Jiang Wan was slightly uncomfortable, she didn't open her face, there was still no expression on her cold face, but the hand hidden under the cuffs was slightly clenched.
Jiang Wan ignored Bei Jinchuan's banter, her eyes were calm and natural.
"Five years ago, Qin Ke'er sought medical advice everywhere because of her frailty, and her condition was somewhat similar to that of the Queen Mother, but it was not so serious. I was cured not long ago. β
"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Ke'er should have a good fairy grass on her, Jiaolu grass."
Bei Jinchuan also thought about it in his heart, and what the young man said was not much different from the news he got.
Jiang Wan saw that Bei Jinchuan's anger faded all around, and lowered her eyes as if thinking about her words, and she knew in her heart that he believed in his words a little.
Her words seem to be false, both false and real.
She did come to Hong|Sleeve Pavilion to find someone, and the person she was looking for was indeed Qin Ke'er. But she didn't look for Qin Ke'er just to get Jiao Lucao, her main purpose was to find the truth of the year, and Qin Ke'er was a very important witness, she wanted to get the evidence in Qin Ke'er's hands.
Jiang Wan's fingers hooked the tea cup, her eyebrows were cold, and her tone was unhurried.
"Although Jiaolu grass is not a very rare herb, it is not found near the Imperial City of Shao Kingdom."
"It generally grows in arid areas, and it is a common herb on the border between Shao and Qingqi."
Jiang Wan added a cup of tea to herself, and the sweetness in her mouth made people feel happy.
"The Queen Mother's condition has been initially stabilized, and with the help of this delicate grass, her condition will stabilize faster and even improve."
At the end, his tone paused slightly.
Raising his eyes, "But if you send someone to the border of Shao to pick, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth, and the Queen Mother's illness can't afford to delay." The delicate grass on Miss Kerr's body is the fastest shortcut. β
Jiang Wan squinted, there was still residual fragrance on the tip of her tongue, and His Royal Highness King Qi, who was in a good mood, was much more pleasing to the eye, and continued to explain patiently.
"I have sent prisoners to the border of Shao, and I should be able to return in a few days."
Bei Jinchuan pursed his thin lips and said nothing, looking at the young man like a lazy cat, sipping tea with a comfortable expression, his heart was inexplicably happy, and he didn't know if he believed it, his eyes were dark, and there was a decent smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The divine doctor is really well-intentioned."
