Chapter 299: Strange Spices
Ah Niu looked at Ah Ji in surprise, "How can this be sweet?" Shouldn't medicine be bitter? ”
"Medicine? Drugged? Ah Ji's brows furrowed even deeper, why did Ah Niu drugged it?!
"Well, the princess said that there was medicine useful for your recovery, and said that you should drink it when you wake up." Ah Niu muttered.
Ah Ji heard that it was Chu Shan'er who added the medicine, and the doubts between his eyebrows instantly dissipated by more than half, he believed that Chu Shan'er would never harm him, otherwise she would not have rescued him three times or twice!
"...... the medicine" Ah Ji just wanted to say, "Give him the medicine", but he was shocked to see Ah Niu directly drink the cup of medicine.
"Well, it's sweet! The princess must have mistakenly put the candy in it as a pill! Ah Niu took a deep breath and said, "Ah Ji, you wait for me, I'd better go and ask the princess!" ”
"No, maybe there is a sweet medicine too!" If there was still a trace of doubt in Ah Ji's heart just now, it would have completely dissipated now.
The corners of his mouth bent helplessly, this Ah Niu is really a bold and careful fool, he said that it was medicine, and he dared to take a sip.
"Is there one? I've never heard of it. Ah Niu smiled helplessly, "I just thought you were injured and your sense of taste failed." ”
"So you drank the potted water? It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, aren't you afraid? Ah Ji said: "Go back and ask the princess!" ”
"The princess gave you a drink, it must not be very poisonous! Otherwise, your body won't be able to bear it. Ah Niu said: "You wait for me, I'll ask the princess if she put the wrong sugar first." ”
"Let's go again tomorrow!" Ah Ji said: "I'm okay now, am I?" ”
Ah Niu looked at Ah Ji's okay look, and finally nodded and said, "Do you still want to drink the sugar water?" If I didn't drink it, I drank it, and it tasted pretty good, and I felt a lot more refreshed after drinking it! ”
"And?" Ah Ji thought it was only one cup, but he didn't expect it to be a pot!
The sweet taste was very good, but Ah Niu contracted most of the pot by himself on the grounds that Ah Ji had just woken up and couldn't drink too much.
Ah Ji looked at Ah Niu resentfully, this product is greedy!
"Ah Niu, do you know Xiaokong?" Ah Ji watched the last drop of water enter Ah Niu's mouth, and then asked in a low voice.
Ah Niu nodded and said, "The princess asked him to stay outside the door, but I see that he stayed in the tree, where the view is the best, and there will be no more thieves sneaking in." ”
"I have something to say to him, can you help me call him?" Ah Ji pursed his lips and added, "I want to talk to him alone." ”
"Good! I understand! Ah Niu nodded seriously, then got up and went out.
But after a while, Sora walked in.
"Ah Ji." Xiaokong watched Ah Ji wake up, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, it's all because I didn't take a good look at this place, causing you to suffer so much." ”
"I don't blame you, those people are strong in martial arts, even if there are a few more people outside, they may not be able to watch it." Ah Ji forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Is the prince back?" ”
"Not yet, I went to ask Liangle, and he said that the prince explained before going out, and it is estimated that he will not come back in three or five days." Xiaokong said: "This time the prince went out, and there were no marks along the road. ”
"Ah Ji ......"
"I knew I should have gone to the prince last night, but ......" Ah Ji glanced at the roots of the tree on the side, took a deep breath and said, "Maybe this is fate!" ”
"Ah Ji?"
"It's okay, then let's wait for the prince to come back!" Ah Ji whispered.
"Well, Ah Ji, those people are here during the day, why don't you scream?" Xiaokong still couldn't understand why Ah Ji was so seriously injured that he didn't even hear a muffled snort.
"I smelled a faint scent before they came in, and then I started to feel weak, and my throat felt like it was blocked." Ah Ji said: "If it weren't for the forcible support of my determination, maybe I wouldn't have been able to wait for the princess." ”
Ah Ji saw the look of doubt on Xiaokong's face, and said with a wry smile: "Are you wondering why they didn't kill me with one sword?" That's because of the roots. ”
He was hurt because of him, and he lived because of him.
Xiao Kong's face was even more puzzled, could a comatose person still control those killers?
"Xiaokong, you have been guarding it for the past few days, if you really dare to break in again, then you must protect the roots." Ah Ji said solemnly to Xiaokong.
"Ah Ji, don't worry, now I'm not the only one outside, there are seven or eight people guarding here, even the night is under the corridor, and I won't leave here even at night."
Ah Ji frowned slightly, "It's the guards in the house?" ”
"No, it's the princess who came from the Hou Mansion, all of them are good, and after they came here, they didn't ask a word about the things in the house." Xiaokong said: "I look at those people like soldiers who have fought on the battlefield with Hou Ye." ”
Ah Ji smiled, "It seems that the princess has asked you about the secret guard." ”
"Well, without the prince's order, those secret guards are not something I can mobilize." Sora nodded.
"I see." Ah Ji spoke for a while, and his voice became a little weaker.
"You just woke up, you still have to rest more." Ah Ji said: "I'll go out and guard, if you have something, you can make some movement and come out." ”
"Hmm."
After Ah Ji went out, Ah Niu came in.
……
The next day, when Chu Shan'er came over, she saw Ah Ji half-leaning on the bed with a dark circle under his eyes.
"Princess......
"Lie down! This princess is not willing to take care of your cracked wounds again. Chu Shan'er waved her hand, blocking Ah Ji's desire to salute.
"Thank you, Princess." Ah Ji smiled at Chu Shan'er, this was the third time she had rescued her.
"Do you know this?" Chu Shan'er gave the bottle with a little spice to Ah Ji.
Just a light sniff, Ah Ji subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, "Princess, how can you have this thing?" ”
"Don't worry, this thing only has a taste and doesn't have any effect, but it's more like an ordinary spice." Chu Shan'er looked at Ah Ji's guarded look and explained.
"Only the taste?" Ah Ji frowned slightly, and felt his own condition, and it seemed that there was really no abnormality.
"Look at you, do you know this?" Chu Shan'er asked lightly.
"I don't know, but I've got a third smell." Ah Ji said: "The first time I smelled it, this was the smell on the roots of the tree, but the smell on his body took three days to dissipate, and it was because of this smell that we were hunted down for three days. ”
"The second time was yesterday, unlike the first, the smell of yesterday had already dissipated when I woke up, and when I smelled it, I was so weak that I couldn't make a sound in my throat." Ah Ji looked at Chu Shan'er and said, "Now this is the third time." ”
"The third ...... The smell has almost dissipated now, and it doesn't make anyone who smells it uncomfortable. Chu Shan'er looked at the small bottle in her hand and muttered, "Could it be that those people just added something to this spice?" But are they stupid? Even if you are looking for something that has a base, you should look for something that has no taste. ”
"This villain doesn't know, maybe he'll know something when the roots wake up!" Ah Ji looked at the calm face, it was the root of the tree that had not woken up for a long time, and there was a trace of sadness and self-blame in his eyes.
"I really have to ask what the spices are that won't dissipate for three days." Chu Shan'er glanced at the roots of the tree, this is really 72 hours of fragrance.
