But at the moment when the dagger was about to stab into the heart, Zhu Ying's eyes were fast, and a hand knife directly stunned Ye Shuhua.

Ji Cui was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the dagger of the young lady, and helped the young lady back to the bed.

Ye Shuhua had a seizure here, and Ye Shuxin naturally did too.

Takekage instructed Ji Cui to take care of the young lady and hurried to the east courtyard.

The next day dawned, Ye Shuhua was sore all over, especially her neck.

Thinking back to last night, the pain that ate the heart and bones, and now I still have palpitations.

The thought of the frenzied pain made her sweat break out and her hairs stood on end.

Don't want to go through it a second time.

"How? How was last night? ”

It was the voice of the second prince.

She turned her head and saw the second prince Shi Ran sitting on a chair on the side of the outer room.

Through the screen, his silhouette can be seen looming.

Ye Shuhua twisted her eyebrows, her heart was full of anger, but she pressed it.

She put on her shirt and walked around the screen to the outside.

glared at him angrily: "What kind of poison is this!" ”

"I'm not saying it, I can't tell you." The second prince said casually.

The eyes are scattered, and the tone is lazy and a little impatient.

He raised his eyebrows again, glanced at her, and reminded, "You'd better complete your task during the day today, otherwise, the pain will be doubled tonight." ”

"You're stoic, and you might be able to endure it, but your sister won't."

He always pinched Ye Shuhua's sore spot in a few words, and Ye Shuhua was always pinched without a temper.

"Don't play tricks, get it done as soon as possible. Do this a few more times, and after seven times you'll all die. ”

Dropping this sentence, the second prince walked away.

Before leaving, he smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, his face was stretched, and he described it as gentle, and he couldn't see what a cruel and vicious heart was hidden under that skin.

Damn it!

Ye Shuhua scolded secretly.

But thinking of last night's physical symptoms, and what he just accidentally said, he would die in seven times.

With these two characteristics, it shouldn't be difficult for the poison to lock down.

But now is not the time to determine what the poison is, but how to give the medicine to the Xue family.

There is no banquet for the Xue family today, she is not familiar with the Xue family, and it is impossible for her to insist on visiting.

Besides, she drove the Marquis Jiang Yong's Mansion out of the capital before, and the Marquis Jiang Yong's Mansion is the maiden family of the Xue family's wife, and it can be regarded as indirectly having a relationship with the Xue family.

It's even more impossible to visit your home.

Even if he went, he didn't have a chance to be poisoned.

She's got to figure it out.

She sniffed the poison in the bottle repeatedly, sniffing the slightest smell of drinking the poisonous wine given by the second prince.

It is speculated that eight or nine are not far from ten, and this poison is the same as that I have taken.

If that's the case, then it's easier.

In addition to Xue Cheng, the Xue family also has a younger sister Xue Ning.

She, she likes Xin'er, maybe it's a breakthrough.

Ye Shuhua thought about it, but there was still no way to visit her directly.

As for how to poison it, she thought of a new method.

Ye Shuhua's sudden visit made Master Xue and Mrs. Xue very surprised.

In addition to the astonishment, there is a deep question.

Mrs. Xue was even more puzzled, and a little displeased.

But the other party is a princess after all, and no matter how much she doesn't like it, she can't offend it, so she can only force a smile.

But laughing is worse than crying.

"The princess came to visit suddenly, I don't know what happened?"

Ye Shuhua smiled as kindly as possible, her eyes were bright, "It's nothing, I just thought that Miss Xue Ning and Xin'er had a good relationship before, and then somehow got into a disagreement, Xin'er told me, and I just thought about coming over and asking one or two." ”

Master Xue and Mrs. Xue glanced at each other, and the doubts in their eyes were even clearer.

"Ling'er and Sister Ling have a disagreement? But I don't think they know each other well. ”

Ye Shuhua smiled a little embarrassedly, this matter is indeed too long, and they have been friends for a short time at that time, so it is reasonable that they don't know.

She really couldn't think of a reason to move out of this.

only said: "Actually, it was more than a year ago, when the Xue family had just gotten up, and for a while, Xue Ning always loved to play with Xin'er." ”

After she mentioned this, Mrs. Xue remembered.

At that time, Xue Ning was indeed happily going out to play, and he also said that he was looking for Ye Shuxin.

It wasn't long before she locked herself in the house again, and she didn't go out, didn't eat, or drink, and became depressed.

It was a long time before she got better.

When she asked her, she said it was fine.

It turned out that there was some misunderstanding between the sisters and they sulked.

It's just that this misunderstanding has been going on until now, and I don't think it's a petty misunderstanding.

But after all, if it can be unraveled, it would be good if Ling'er could also regain her previous liveliness and cheerfulness.

Although she is better now than a year ago, she still keeps out of the door all day long.

"The princess still remembers the affection between their sisters, and Ling'er is in her own courtyard, and I ordered someone to take the princess there."

Ye Shuhua entered Xue Ning's courtyard.

It was empty and lonely.

It doesn't look like a girl's yard at all.

Except for the stone tables and benches in the courtyard, and a stone path paved, there was nothing beside it.

The gazebo water pavilion is even more redundant.

Naturally, there is no half of the flowers.

The maidservant girl led her into the courtyard, and then she retired, saying, Xue Ning doesn't like the maidservant, except for the daily cleaning, no one is allowed to come in the yard except for her personal maid.

Ye Shuhua's heart beat when she heard it, and her brows tightened unconsciously.

Is she painting the ground as a prison?

She really likes it so much, likes it here?

Ye Shuhua didn't understand, but also showed respect.

When the maidservant had gone, she went out of the house.

Ji Cui knocked on the door, and she spoke: "Miss Xue Ning, I'm Ye Shuhua, I don't know if it's possible to meet?" ”

There was no movement or echo inside.

She thought that the other party had not heard, so she raised her voice and said it again.

But before the words landed, the door in front of him was opened.

The purpose is Xue Ning's lonely and lonely face.

is obviously a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, but she looks like a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old sister-in-law.

Described as withered, empty eyes.

"Princess, please come in."

Ye Shuhua stepped in, and the furnishings in the room were even simpler, only a table and two chairs, and a futon in the room, which should be used for meditation.

Ye Shuhua glanced at it, and quickly withdrew her eyes.

"You've been like this all year? Why are you doing that? ”

Xue Ning's eyes were faint, and her voice was silent: "This princess is clear, isn't it?" ”

Ye Shuhua was speechless by her rhetorical question.

He lowered his eyes and raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, looking sneered.

and motioned to Zhuying and Ji Cui to go out and guard outside, and Ji Cui willingly pulled the maid beside Xue Ning out.

She didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "This is a bottle of poison, I need you and your parents to take it." ”

She was so blatantly poisoned, Xue Ning saw it for the first time.

I saw that my empty eyes fluctuated slightly at this time, and I raised my eyes to stare at her suspiciously.

Ye Shuhua didn't wait for her to ask a question before saying: "Ye Shuxin and I have both been poisoned, this poison will not kill people immediately, but if you don't take the suppressed poison after seven days, the poison will die after seven attacks." Xin'er and I have already had a seizure, and it was painful. ”

"It was not my intention to poison you, but the second prince used this poison to blackmail me. So, for Xin'er's sake, I implore you. ”

Xue Ning listened to her say this in an extremely calm tone, and a trace of shock appeared on her face.

She has always lived in seclusion, she doesn't know what changes have changed in the court, and she hardly meets her parents, let alone knows.

But as soon as she heard that Ye Shuxin was also poisoned, her eyes obviously showed a look of worry.

She could die for Ye Shuxin, but her parents were so innocent.

Sensing the hesitation in her eyes, Ye Shuhua pursed her lips, looked out of the door again, and leaned in and whispered something.

Xue Ning's eyes brightened, and she wrinkled her eyebrows, "Really? ”

Ye Shuhua nodded solemnly, "Can you do it?" ”

Xue Ning frowned, thought for a while, and then nodded vigorously.

"I try."

"You can't do it as much as you can, you have to do it."

Seeing that Ye Shuhua was so serious, she also bit her lips tightly and nodded in response.

The conversation with Xue Ning was exceptionally smooth, Ye Shuhua came out of her courtyard, and went directly out of Xue's mansion and returned to the county lord's mansion in a carriage.

The tail that followed behind Ye Shuhua did not leave the Xue Mansion, he couldn't enter the Xue Mansion, but he could see it from a distance.
