Chapter 31: Can't Breathe
"My lord, you can take care of your body, you rested late yesterday, why don't you rest early today." Jingyu said as she lit up a few more lights for Li Yan.
"Now that the political situation is chaotic, there are all things behind the scenes, and it takes time to sort out the clues, plus everything must be done cautiously, how can it end so quickly."
Li Yi sighed, and while he was talking, a strange figure appeared at the door.
"My lord, Miss Zhizhi is here." Jingyu said.
Li Yi glanced up, then lowered his head again.
"I remember, I didn't pass you on to-day." Li Yan said coldly.
"Oh, my lord, why do we still say such extraneous things in this relationship? It's true that you didn't pass on me, and it's true that I miss my lords. ”
As she spoke, Xu Zhizhi stepped forward with a soft smile and walked into the room, and the food box in her hand was also placed on the table in front of Li Yi.
"I remember I made it clear last time," Li Yi glanced at the food box Xu Zhizhi was carrying, "You are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense, and you are not allowed to mess around." ”
"Oh, the adults really wronged me, I just came to see the adults, and the adults said that I was messing around, what did I want to mess around? It's still adults who are looking forward to me messing around. ”
"Nonsense, besides, I've already had dinner, how come everyone in the house knows when I have dinner, you don't know." Li Yan looked at Xu Zhizhi with cold eyes.
"How dare I not know, my lord, you are my heart, I have always done my best to the person on the tip of my heart, and I dare not be ambiguous at all, you see, this is the one I have prepared for you......
Health soup. Xu Zhizhi said with a smile, she smiled brightly and did not mean to flatter.
"No need."
"My lord, I'm going to talk about your shortcomings!" Xu Zhizhi put away the smile on her face and sighed solemnly.
"Miss Zhizhi, would you like to have some refreshments...... Jingyu stepped forward and asked.
"You don't have to interrupt her, let her say." As soon as Li Yi put the things in his hand, he looked at Xu Zhizhi, "Say, what are my shortcomings?" ”
"Lord Li, you have too many shortcomings, you work day and night, you don't know how to pity your own body, if you continue like this, it will only make everyone feel distressed and uneasy, this is one."
Xu Zhizhi opened the food box and said:
"Two, that is, you always like to hold on, don't say anything, I have never seen a person like an adult, with a lonely cold feeling, adult, in your heart, there must be something that others have never understood!"
Jing Yu was dumbfounded when he heard it.
"My lord, this health soup is not boiled to please adults, not just because I like you, but also because I feel sorry for adults!"
Xu Zhizhi's mind was full of words about feeling sorry for her brother's green tea, although it was disgusting, but the effect was still very good.
Li Yi put down the things in his hand, and even took the health soup offered by Xu Zhizhi.
"This soup...... Why does it look so much like medicine? Li Yan's face changed and he said.
"My lord, how can you think of me like that? We are also old acquaintances, how can adults get along with each other day and night after such days...... Think so about people. ”
Saying that, Xu Zhizhi sent a small fist, the green tea was full of flavor, but it looked very cute and cute.
"Why do I think about you, isn't this a decoction? Smelling the smell, there should be some ...... inside" Li Yi frowned and looked at Xu Zhizhi.
"Oh, my lord, it's good that you know it in your heart, in fact, such a private thing is also known to God that you know and I know, I will definitely not say it for the sake of adults and myself."
As he spoke, Xu Zhizhi knelt down with a weak face, approached Li Yi's chair very affectionately, leaned his face on his knees, and waited for him to drink.
Li Yi picked up the bowl of soup, close it to his mouth, the taste was even stronger, he frowned, sniffed it carefully, and the anger in his heart could hardly be contained.
It's her! Why her?
Li Yi stretched out his hand and put it down directly, heavily.
The soup in the bowl shook and spilled a lot, Xu Zhizhi's heart was so distressed, she squatted there and finally fried it.
She subconsciously wanted to reach out to help, but Li Yan held her wrist tightly.
His hand clenched tighter and tighter, and Xu Zhizhi couldn't help but cry out in pain, "My lord, light." She sneered.
Li Yan pushed Xu Zhizhi's hand back hard, and he said coldly: "What a big boldness, you want to harm me." ”
Xu Zhizhi's whole person was pushed backwards, and he could only quickly use his hands to support him.
But as soon as she held on, Li Yan got up from the chair, walked towards her, and squatted in front of her.
"Say, Who sent you?" He asked.
"No one sent me, I came by myself, how could I drug adults." Xu Zhizhi complained again and again.
"This is obviously medicine, I can already smell a few flavors of medicine in it, what's the matter, you still have a hard mouth? I'd like to see how hard your mouth is. ”
As he spoke, his hand was already pinching her chin, "Say! I asked myself, why did you poison me if you were not thin? ”
"Big brother, can you be reasonable, if I poison you, I can directly bring you a bowl?! Who would dare, what fool would do that?! Xu Zhizhi's nose was crooked.
"Could it be that you could think of a better way?"
"I'll go, am I that stupid in your eyes?" Xu Zhizhi regretted it after speaking, she originally wanted to take the route of a stupid beauty, but she couldn't let him realize that she was a smart person.
"My lord, although I am stupid, I am not so stupid."
Xu Zhizhi said, "This is actually a tonic. ”
"Full of lies." Li Yan's hand moved down and directly clamped Xu Zhizhi's neck.
"My lord, I really ...... I didn't lie to you...... "Xu Zhizhi regretted that her intestines were blue, this Li Yi was notoriously suspicious, and his own careful thinking would not be magnified so much.
"I'll give you a chance." Li Yi relieved his strength and said slowly, "You can tell me well, what is inside, if you tell the truth, I can barely treat you leniently for your own sake." ”
Xu Zhizhi shook his head, "My lord, if you have, if you don't, if you don't, if you don't, I really didn't poison you." ”
"Good! Very good! Xu Zhizhi, I'll give you a chance, you don't want it. Li Yi's hand grabbed Xu Zhizhi's neck without hesitation.
"Are you so faithful to your master? Are you so unafraid of me?! Aren't you afraid that I'll expel you from the house?! He asked sharply, the green tendons on his neck were distinct, and his eyes, with a touch of blood, looked extremely terrifying.
"Your Excellency...... I...... Breathe...... Not ......"
"Are you afraid of this? Aren't you for your master, not afraid of me at all? Why?! Why do this to me?!
Why aren't you afraid that I'll expel you from the house??!! ”
Li Yan questioned again and again, Xu Zhizhi was pinched by him and couldn't speak at all, her face changed color because of lack of oxygen, and her hand waved vigorously, but Li Yan refused to let go.
He watched the girl in front of him struggle, and he knew in his heart that as long as he tried harder, he didn't have to talk nonsense with her, and he didn't have to watch her struggle, she would just lose her breath.
"That's it." He let go suddenly, as if throwing away a rag, pushed Xu Zhizhi out, and sat back in the chair.
He gasped for breath, his chest heaving, his hands trembling slightly, "That's it." I don't want to see you. ”
"Ahem...... My lord...... I didn't...... Ahem......" Xu Zhizhi kept coughing, she wanted to explain, but she was so scared that she couldn't speak, "Why...... Don't believe me...... Ahem......"
"My lord, I've got it, I've got it!"
A guard hurriedly came in, and Jing Yu, who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, hurriedly asked, "What did you catch?" Say it quickly! ”
"Lord Qiyu, the doctor said that the maidservant who stole the poison in the pharmacy has been caught!
She tried to poison the food of adults in the small kitchen, and was caught red-handed, and the stolen goods were also commensurate with the poison that was missing from the pharmacy.
The person has been taken down, and I ask the adults to instruct him. ”
"Okay, my lord knows, you can go out and wait." Jing Yu hurriedly pulled the guards and walked out, taking the door with him by the way.
Xu Zhizhi slowly raised her head and looked at Master Li in front of her, she suddenly understood why she was going through this today.
also understood why Li Yi would do this to himself.
She slowly got up from the cold ground, walked to the table in front of Li Yan without saying a word, and looked at some of the spilled on the table, only half of the decoction remained.
She chuckled, reached out and grabbed the edge of the bowl, pouring the rest of the medicine directly into her mouth.
"Hey!"
"Goo-dong, goo-dong......"
Xu Zhizhi put the empty bowl in front of Li Yi, and she smiled sweetly again.
She remembered that night, and it was also here, Li Yi said that he also had his difficulties, and hoped that she could keep it a secret in the future, and only said to the public that he had been fortunate to him.
At that time, her face was flushed, his breath was unsteady, she was clinging to his lap, and he looked down at her, and her shadow was in his eyes.
So even if the two of them just chanted poetry later, and even if she didn't sleep in bed, she felt that just that moment was enough to prove that he was different to her.
"I thought that when the adults said those words to me, I was the one the adults believed, and it seems that I was making my own feelings."
Two lines of tears slipped down her cheeks, "It's late at night, adults should rest early, slave wishes adults a good sleep." ”
She smiled and wiped the tears from her face and walked out.
