Chapter 631 Strange Flower
However, what Mu Chenyu never expected was that at this juncture, what Tang Jingyuan needed more was a strong backing. After all, Qian Yuan is physically strong, if the fifth prince is old enough, he will be close to thirty, how can he live like a dog by then.
Naturally, he couldn't wait for Qian Yuan to die now, but when Mu Feng fell, some officials immediately defected to Xu Ziqiao's side. Now that Xu Ziqiao is the leader, even if he is a prince, he has to be courteous, and he can't hold his head up at all. But even so, he still had to win Xu Ziqiao's favor. If he stood in opposition at this time, his affairs would be even more difficult.
"Your Highness, be careful." Yan Shan didn't say anything, but hoped that his master would put the overall situation first. There is no shame in the desire to seize the heir apparent. If you can use tricks to delay the relationship with Xu Ziqiao, or slowly draw him over, it would be a good thing. Nothing is more reassuring than having an important minister in the court to rely on.
Tang Jingyuan nodded, "I understand that people who go back and inform the palace are welcome. Since they are the guests of the princess, it is not good for the king to go back and meet the wife directly. If the princess gets close to her, it will be a good thing for the king. It might be a good thing to say." From this point of view, even the relationship with Tian Sisi had to be reconsidered.
Originally, Tian Sisi was a lady of everyone, and her father was still the Taifu in the court. Now Tian Taifu is still the master of the fifth prince and the sixth prince. If she can win her over, it will not be difficult to control the fifth prince and the sixth prince.
Tang Jingyuan had a plan in mind, even if Mu Chenyu sent people to blow more strange winds, it would be useless.
Mu Chenyu's secret message naturally reached Tian Sisi's ears verbatim, and the nanny looked weird, thinking that Mu Chenyu's behavior was too unruly, "Princess, I can't let her go this time." If you continue to make trouble like this, this is clearly treating you as nothing." "
Hey, don't worry. Your Highness is not a fool. Without Mu Feng and Xu Ziqiao to contend, how could he do something to offend Xu Ziqiao, and even support me instead? Do you believe it?" After all, Tian Sisi is a famous family, and her thoughts are different from ordinary people when she is among the nobles. If she guesses Tang Jingyuan's thoughts, she can guess more accurately than Mu Chenyu.
Nanny nodded, her gaze was a little more appreciative, the empress did not misunderstand the person, with such a virtuous helper by her side, His Royal Highness King Jin could rise in the hall step by step, on the other hand Mu Chenyu's kind... ...
"Hey Sisi, this flower is so beautiful. I feel like I have seen it in my mother's palace. I wanted a pot before and she was so precious that she refused to give it to me." Princess Anning fiddled with it Beside the delicate and beautiful flowers, there is a faint envy in the eyes, girls, who doesn't like flowers and plants.
Lin Huiru's eyes brightened when she saw the flower. Even though she was at a different time from these people, she had never seen such a wonderful flower. Pink and white flowers grew out of the same pot, and the petals were like roses. It is not so dense, and the leaves are tender green, which makes people like it when they look at it.
"You still grow flowers. You are thankful that the weeds in your yard are not killed by you. How could the queen mother let you raise them." Tian Sisi and Princess Anning are also considered close friends in the boudoir, so talking like this is just a joke.
Princess An Ning curled her lips. Although she was a little reluctant, what Tian Sisi said was true, "Even so, it's just a potted flower. Just play with it. My mother still holds it like a baby. Now that it's in your hands Here, for the sake of being good sisters, why don't you let me take it back and serve it for a few days, and if it fades, I'll return it to you." "That's not okay, I can give up
any other potted flowers you want, but I can't do it for the readers." Tian Sisi stepped forward and slapped Princess Anning's hand that was stretched out to touch the petals, and said seriously.
"You're so stingy, hum, Miss Xiaoru treats me better." Princess Anning made a face at her, then turned and ran to Lin Huiru.
Tian Sisi smiled apologetically and blessed Lin Huiru, "I made Mrs. Xiang laugh. I am used to fighting with Princess Anning like this on weekdays." "It's okay, but
I'm also curious. I've never seen this flower before. But what kind of exotic flowers?" To put it bluntly, although Lin Huiru doesn't like flowers and plants, she always feels that those green plants are very delicate, and a pot of green radishes can be raised to death by her, so she doesn't expect anything extravagantly on weekdays, but that Girls don't have any garden dreams. Seeing this, she couldn't help but think that this kind of flowers can bloom all over the hillside, it must be a fairyland on earth.
"This, it's called Luoshui. I heard from the Empress that these flowers were brought by the envoys from the Western Regions. They don't have many flowers there. Moreover, they got them by accident. They are very rare. Things that need to be taken care of in the palace recently. Too many, Empress Empress asked me to help with cooking, it's going to be autumn, and when the seeds are planted, I have to send them back to Empress Empress." Tian Sisi looked helplessly at the flower, it was indeed rare.
Lin Huiru also understood the preciousness of this flower and pointed out that he just didn't know the source, and he wanted to cultivate it purely by waiting for it to plant seeds. If it is rare in the whole country, even if it is waiting for seeds once a year, it will be lowered in the next year. You may not be able to see the scene where this kind of flowers can cover a hillside, "It's really hard work, the flowers are delicate, the weather has changed in the past few days, and the princess has to worry a lot."
Tian Sisi nodded, with a little smile on her face . Surprised, "Madam knows how to read the weather?"
Now Lin Huiru didn't know how to explain it. After all, she didn't know what to say. The farmers told me, and I don't understand these things."
"So, Madam Lao is worried about it. Don't stand outside, I sent someone to cook tea, and I hope Madam will help me taste it." Tian Sisi Turning around and making a gesture of please, the three of them entered the room together.
...
Mu Chen Yuqi's face was almost distorted when he got the news.
"Hmph, it's just a broken flower, but since it belongs to the empress, if Tian Sisi doesn't take good care of it, it can be regarded as damage to the royal property. At that time, I will see how he will explain it to the empress." Mu Chenyu There was another person who felt resentful in her heart. Although she was a side concubine, she never had the opportunity to offer tea to the empress.
The people in the palace only said that the Empress has no time recently, but she has time to raise such a delicate flower like Tian Sisi, isn't that looking down on her?
"Miss, is this your plan?" Ruan'er was a little unsure, after all, it was something belonging to the royal family, so it's okay if you can't find it out, but if you can find out...
Chapter 632 Luoshui
"Destroy her flowers, I'll see how she gets so proud." Mu Chenyu sneered, whoever said that it would be a big deal to cause trouble to others, now it's just a potted flower, can destroy the relationship between three people. Why did she keep that flower because of her relationship with her.
Hearing what she said, Ruan'er couldn't help shivering. After all, there are almost no one around Mu Chenyu who can use her now. If she wants to do this kind of thing, she is the only one. This is the palace, not the Mu family. Undoubtedly.
And cold-blooded Ruo Mu Chen Yu may not be able to save her at that time. "Miss, since these flowers are so expensive, the guards must be extremely strict..."
After Ruan'er stopped talking, Mu Chenyu was a little disdainful, "Be on guard, be on guard, some people won't eat, drink, or sleep , do you have any better way to win my breath back for me?"
Ruan Er shook her head guiltily, Mu Chenyu snorted coldly, "Since there is no one, help me find out about the defense over there. Find a suitable opportunity, as long as she, Tian Sisi, is having a good time, it will be a good day for us."
"Yes..." Ruan'er agreed, but her heart seemed to be weighed down by a huge rock.
In the past, she was definitely a master and servant who depended on Mu Chenyu for life. She treated this master sincerely, but this master only thought of letting her go through fire and water. The consequences of these things are not small. Her life is not her life. If she is always treated as a pawn, she really needs to think about her future.
...
On the other hand, on Tian Sisi's side, the three of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Mrs. Lin, I took the liberty before. At that time, I said so many things that offended you because I was young and in the limelight. Today, Sisi is here to apologize to you with tea instead of wine." The knot was untied. Therefore, Tian Sisi has nothing to worry about. After all, people with promising futures like Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao, it's better not to form any hatred, which will not benefit him at all.
Lin Huiru smiled and shook her head, "The princess is serious. It was just a trivial matter. I was not in a good mood at the time, so I said some things a little more seriously. Please forgive me." "In that case
, We have shaken hands and made peace. Since we married in the backyard of the palace, many sisters have lost contact with each other. I hope that we can make friends with Madam in the future, so that we can learn more interesting things from Madam. I don't know if Madam thinks I'm familiar with myself?" Actually, Tian Sisi was not very sure in front of Lin Huiru, after all, Lin Huiru had seen the scene of that day all over, and she was originally very lively, but now she doesn't Disguise is necessary.
Although it is indeed progressing a little faster, Lin Huiru feels that such a relationship is very comfortable. After all, Tian Sisi is just a little more outspoken in private, and she has some inexplicable similarities with Princess Anning. Such a girl is cute. very.
"That's natural. You and I are already married. It is inevitable that some people will find it difficult to play together. If you don't dislike it, it's good to drink tea together in the future, but I really don't know how to play Pai Gow. "Lin Huiru was a little helpless.
On the contrary, these words eased the atmosphere between the three of them, and Tian Sisi became more natural, and even waved her hand to send Mammy away, "Liu Mammy, please go and cook some dessert for me, sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup That's right, what would Madam and Princess want to eat?"
"The horseshoe cake made by Madam Liu is pretty good." Princess An Ning smiled, and picked a troublesome one.
Lin Huiru didn't have any requirements, "I don't have any particular taste,
I'm going to be a mother. " Then the old slave will go down and get ready." The three people in front of her are nobles, one is Princess An Ning whom she watched a lot when she was a child, and the other is Lin Huiru, whom the queen also wants to win over, and Madam Liu's attitude He was extraordinarily amiable.
After Liu Mama went down, Princess Anning slapped the table and stood up, "You two don't want to leave me and play together in secret, you have to call me if you have anything to do, or I will move to Xiang's mansion. Negotiable."
Tian Sisi held back her laughter on purpose and said earnestly, "We are all wives, so naturally we have many things to do. You, a child, don't meddle here. When you find your husband's family, you can talk again, otherwise you will be in trouble." I'm going to become an old woman."
"You! You're bullying too much! Sister Xiaoru, look at her." Princess An Ning pouted, but suddenly thought of someone in her heart, and her ears turned red.
Seeing her reaction, Tian Sisi froze for a moment, and looked at Lin Huiru beseechingly. Princess Anning, this is, do you have a sweetheart?
Lin Huiru nodded helplessly.
These two people's riddles made Princess Anning confused, so she just continued to play a rogue, "You two are really bad, you forgot me so quickly, don't forget, but I introduced you Yes, now you have something to hide from me, I'm going to be angry." "
Okay, if you leave, you won't be able to eat horseshoe cake." With Lin Huiru's words, Princess Anning immediately fell silent.
"I'm just kidding, how could I not take you with me? You have so much to say, so it's interesting to bring it along, isn't it?" Tian Sisi also coaxed tacitly, and then smiled at Lin Huiru.
The atmosphere among the three was much more harmonious than expected, and it was almost dark when they left the palace. Princess Anning was in a very happy mood after playing around all day, "Miss Xiaoru, I'm not wrong, Sisi is actually very easy to get along with, don't think she usually puts on airs, but for her own people, she is just a little sheep."
"Yes, yes, the person you fancy, how can you be wrong." Lin Huiru was a little helpless, but today is much more relaxed than she imagined. One more friend is better than one more enemy. If Tang Jingyuan didn't mean to be attached to Tang Jingyuan, if Tang Jingyuan did something excessive, maybe he could get some news from Tian Sisi.
After today's probing, Tian Sisi also has a bottom line in her mind, at least Lin Huiru is much easier to get along with than she imagined.
"Liu Nanny, take care of Luoshui in the future, and bring it into the house at night, maybe you will hear some trouble over there." Now that there are outsiders around, Tian Sisi's airs are raised again.
Just based on Mu Chenyu's malicious provocations a few times before, she can conclude that Mu Chenyu will not be too quiet these days.
Chapter 633 Poison
A few days passed, and the people from Qingwu had successfully sneaked back to Anguo, and it was time to tell Xu Ziqiao the identity of the spy as agreed.
Xiangfu is brightly lit at night, only at this time can Qingwu move freely.
Seeing the piece of paper Qingwu handed over, only his name was written on it, and after exchanging glances, Qingwu sat down with that unrestrained look, "How about it, you'd better move quickly, I want to get my adoptive mother out of there as soon as possible."
"It will take a few days, I will as soon as possible." Xu Ziqiao nodded and agreed, he was always accurate, a few days is definitely not a number that cannot be counted on one hand.
At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Huiru stepped in happily with a piece of paper in her hand, "Look at this flower, doesn't it look very unique?" What she drew was nothing else
, It was the basin of Luoshui that she saw when she went to the palace that day. After she came back, she was inspired, and felt that if she could make such a flower, it must be a very popular style.
Xu Ziqiao took a serious look, "It's really nice and beautiful. It would be great if there were such flowers in the world.
" It looks pretty." Lin Huiru was so absorbed in her painting that she didn't notice that there was a green crow behind it, and she was taken aback suddenly.
"The one who sees it has a share. Let me have a look at something good."
Before Lin Huiru could react, Qingwu had already pulled the painting away, and after looking at it carefully, his brows immediately frowned. , "You said, saw this kind of flower in the palace?"
Lin Huiru nodded. For some reason, she felt that something was wrong when she saw Qingwu's slightly frowning brows. At least this person was smiling all day long. Yes, it really won't be a good thing to suddenly put on a straight face, "What's wrong?"
"Have you ever asked where you came from?" Qingwu asked again.
"It is said that the envoys from the Western Regions gave it to the empress. They said that this kind of flower is very rare, and now it is being stored in the palace to save the seeds." Lin Huiru was suddenly intimidated by Qingwu's seriousness, and told her without thinking. he.
Qingwu's brows frowned a little closer, and then he smiled coldly, "It seems that these small border countries have a lot of ambitions." "What do you mean? Don't be fooled."
Xu Ziqiao also frowned, and took the painting away After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see any clues, but it is true that this flower is not common.
"This flower should be called Tianxiang in the Central Plains dialect. It is a flower unique to a small tribe in the Western Regions. It is so beautiful that it doesn't look like something in the world, right? This thing is also very poisonous, and it is not its own. The flower is its seed, not to mention eating it by mistake, even the smell of the seed will have a hallucinogenic or even lethal effect after a period of time. The local people will immediately destroy this flower when they see it. I didn't expect that there are still people Get up." Qingwu folded his arms, he has never been a short-sighted person, as if Lin Huiru discovered something important by accident.
Now Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao were both stunned. After all, no one thought that this beautiful flower would be the same as a poisonous mushroom.
To be cautious, Xu Ziqiao asked a few more questions, "How do you know? Are you sure that this flower is not dangerous when it is cultivated?
" Something. In that small tribe, where this kind of flower is, there must be corpses around, maybe people or animals. In short, this kind of flower is kept at a distance by the locals, but it cannot be eradicated. Its seeds are completely composed of some powder. It will gradually evaporate, and a little bit can grow, but it can only grow in the soil there, presumably the soil has not been changed." Qingwu sat down and wet his lips with tea.
"There is no danger when cultivating, but it may not be so when the flowers fall." As he said, Qingwu narrowed his eyes, this person's ambition really does not depend on ability.
Lin Huiru frowned, "No, I have to go to the palace immediately."
"Don't worry, since it bloomed so well when you saw it, it will take at least a while for the flowers to fall. The most important thing is that if you want to get this kind of flower, you can only go to the local area, and since you got this kind of flower , would not be unaware that it is also highly poisonous. Who do you think is so courageous?" Qing Wu held his chin, as soon as this incident happened, the crusade against Anguo might be behind.
But no one can tell if it is a strategy. If the neighboring countries join forces, it will be a disaster for Jiang Guo.
Indeed, this matter is more important at the moment, Xu Ziqiao narrowed his eyes, "In short, thank you for taking a look today, otherwise there may be a big problem.
" I didn't expect that I would know this." Qingwu folded his arms and smiled, "By the way, the most important thing is that the flower has no fixed flowering period. According to the local people, people will die from this flower almost all the year round. If it is true that someone is waiting for an opportunity, it is possible that there are other eyeliners in the capital. If you move the flower, it may arouse their vigilance." These words are simply awakening the dreamer, Lin
Huiru She slapped her forehead helplessly. She originally thought that things in the capital would be reduced one by one, but she didn't expect that there were still so many crises in the dark. She didn't know whether it was a coincidence that the queen was busy, or it was a coincidence when she went to the palace. In short, all the things were mixed together, and the planners probably never thought of it.
"Understood, don't worry, your affairs will not be delayed, you can go back first, and leave as soon as you hear the news." Xu Ziqiao's mood is a little dignified now, the other party is hiding it so well, it's not like there will be someone and Qingwu this time It also helps to cooperate with the inside and outside.
Qingwu nodded, one thing more is worse than one thing less, he has already helped a lot, and then he has to recharge his energy and go back to Anguo to deal with that old thing.
That night, both Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru could hardly sleep.
"If the Queen hadn't given the flowers to Tian Sisi, if Tian Sisi hadn't married Tang Jingyuan, if the Mu family hadn't offended you, and if Tian Sisi hadn't come to me, I'm afraid that after a while... the world would be in chaos." Lin Huiru whispered in a low voice, always feeling Some fear.
"No one expected this kind of thing. It seems that the things sent into the palace in the future should be strictly checked. At least the things with unknown origins have not been tested for toxicity for the time being, and they can't be put into the palace. These people want to rebel. The idea is really strange." Xu Ziqiao stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Huiru's head, all in all, it was thanks to her, if it wasn't drawn on a whim, although it wasn't Qianyuan who died, but if the palace suffers, no reason can be found out. Flowers must remain on the land of the Central Plains.
Chapter 634 Please enter the urn
"You mean the potted flower that the queen raised before?" After all, Qian Yuan is a person who has been intrigued for a long time, and he is used to various assassination methods, but this is the first time he heard that a potted flower can be used to kill people. kill.
Xu Ziqiao nodded slightly, "Yes, I heard that the empress gave the flower to the princess to cultivate, tracing the source, the flower was a tribute from the Western Regions the year before last, I wonder if there is any record of this potted flower?" Qian Yuan squinted his
eyes , touched the green stubble on his chin and thought for a long time, "I have to ask the queen about this matter, after all, it is only a pot of flowers in Qiqi, and it was not included in the list of tributes back then. Ai Qing thinks, what should the current situation be?"
After all, Fan Guo and An Guo are now eyeing Jiang Guo covetously, if these small countries join forces, plus some domestic spies that have not been detected, it is not impossible for ants to fight against elephants. When dealing with things, there must be a sequence. Now Xu Ziqiao is one of the few people Qianyuan trusts and can rely on. It is also a habit left over from this year to ask Xu Ziqiao first when something like this happens.
"I think that the two things may not necessarily be related. According to Proton, the flowering period of this flower is uncertain, but the feudal kingdom must be ready at any time, and there must be their eyes and ears in the capital. If you boldly guess If that is the case, their people are likely to still have great power. Most importantly, if the flower is really successful, the soldiers and horses of the vassal state alone are not enough to break through the border defense line. What I am worried about It is whether there are important people in the capital who want to cooperate with them." Xu Ziqiao said in a deep voice.
Although the two things are overlapping now, after all, Anguo's detailed work has been investigated, and Qingwu's side is at least reliable. What is completely unknown is this kind of behavior of the vassal state. There is not even a little bit of wind about this incident, and it really makes people feel scared when they think about it.
Qian Yuan nodded and pondered, "Does Ai Qing have any idea about the detailed work?"
"The incident happened suddenly, and I can't think of any suspicious person or behavior for the time being. I hope His Majesty will step up precautions against the hailstorm today, but don't be too obvious, otherwise if there is a vigilance over there I gave up, and I don't know what other tricks there will be." Xu Ziqiao played with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally, "This kind of thing was unheard of at first, but if you think about it, there are many strange things in the Western Regions and Miaojiang. It's a coincidence, but next time if something more secretive enters the palace silently, the consequences will be unimaginable. I will definitely start investigating this matter as soon as possible, and what about Anguo, is it right? Fan Guo and Anguo have joined forces and there is no way to know about it. It is not appropriate to make any announcements about it."
Today is considered an extremely cautious discussion, because Xu Ziqiao said that this matter involves a lot, and all the palace people in the huge Yangxin Palace are now blocked. Outside the door, only Zhou Youde was left to serve, but now he didn't enter the door, just guarding the door.
"I understand, but how sure are you of this matter?" Qian Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked again.
"Actually, there is nothing now." Xu Ziqiao said in a deep voice. After all, there is no way to start with this matter. It is not known whether the Queen can remember this matter. Such a silent sneak attack is really hard to guard against.
Qian Yuan appreciates Xu Ziqiao's bastard's statement without exaggeration. After all, if Xu Ziqiao is sure about this matter, he will be worried. What Xu Ziqiao admires the most is Chen's steady production, which does not match his age, "Oh? Then this matter, Aiqing is going to let me sit and wait to die?"
"Of course not, I have the courage, if I can't find clues from the only clues, I can only invite you into the urn. It may be wronged Your Majesty, now, I hope You can exchange that potted flower without anyone noticing." There was never too much flattery between Xu Ziqiao and Qian Yuan.
"Tell me about it." Qian Yuan asked as he picked up the slightly cold tea and blew off the roots.
Xu Ziqiao held his breath. In fact, even if he did this, he was not 100% sure, "Since the flowers were sent to the palace at the beginning, in order to pay attention to the wind or control the situation, the most likely place for the meticulous work is the palace." Middle. I hope that the empress can take back the flowers, and then find a way to change the pot. The real flowers will be kept by me for the time being. If there is no clue when the flowers fall, I hope that your majesty can cooperate with me and temporarily pretend to be a moderate disease. The person is out of the water."
"You are quite courageous, and now you dare to command me and the queen?" Qian Yuan glanced at Xu Ziqiao, his voice was full of seriousness, and his anger could not be heard.
Even so, Xu Ziqiao was neither humble nor overbearing, "This is an expedient measure. Otherwise, if some unheard of dirty things entered the palace, there might not be a coincidence this time. The current palace is full of secrets, and we still hope Be careful, Your Majesty."
"Why do I feel that you are the one who keeps everything secret. Now I think about it, if you are so outstanding, if it is a delicate work..." Qian Yuan put down the teacup, and his movements were neither light nor heavy, but What he said was scary.
Xu Ziqiao slightly hooked the corners of his lips, slightly disapproving, after all, it was unnecessary to suspect him, "Your Majesty, stop joking, your Majesty's background is like a mirror, and there is no chance to contact foreigners in ten years of cold windows. What's the point of your majesty threatening me?"
"You didn't, but what about Lin Huiru?" Qian Yuan's words made Xu Ziqiao's heart tremble.
There are so many strange things about Lin Huiru. Even if he shares the bed with her every day, he doesn't know the secrets about her. Don't think otherwise of the brighter ones.
Xu Ziqiao frowned, "If Your Majesty is worried, you can send someone to investigate. We both come from innocent backgrounds." "
But what happened to Lin Huiru's fluent Western Region dialect? Xu Aiqing, can you explain clearly?" Is it?" After all, this time the incident happened in the Western Regions, but it is normal for Qian Yuan to have doubts about anything related to the Western Regions.
But Xu Ziqiao couldn't just watch Lin Huiru being misunderstood like this, "Originally Xiaoru discovered the problem with this flower. If she really has a problem, is there any need to do this? It can be something that can be done without anyone noticing it. Besides, she doesn't want to know what happened in the court at all, and what she is doing now is also beneficial to Jiang Guo, I think this is not enough to doubt."
Chapter 635
Qian Yuan squinted his eyes. Although Xu Ziqiao was a submissive admonisher on weekdays, he would not back down in the slightest when it came to issues involving Lin Huiru.
Although Lin Huiru has done so many things that are beneficial to Jiang Guo's business, they are still in her hands. As a ruler, at least all issues must be considered comprehensively.
"Actually, Xu Aiqing, you don't really know why she has so many things. It's really strange that so many things happened to a woman who has never learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting or even books. Although all the investigations are that Lin Huiru is indeed from Zhengyang Town, but can you be sure that this Lin Huiru is the real Lin Huiru? I have heard that there is another person in the world called /Things for leather masks." Qian Yuan said again in a deep voice.
Xu Ziqiao sneered, the thought of the ruler is really shameless, and he has benefited a lot from it, but he still doubts that it is true to say that being with the king is like being with a tiger, "Your Majesty, I am willing to give my head to you Guaranteed, Lin Huiru has always been like this since she married the minister, and His Majesty can also find out that she has already started doing business in the town. If she married the minister premeditated, wouldn't she have such ability What's more terrifying? And with such foresight, she shouldn't have to do things for such a small country."
Now Qian Yuan was silent, although he didn't have the airs to be threatened, but being repeatedly confronted by his courtiers still made him feel Unhappy, "Are you what a courtier should say?"
"Is it true that your majesty hopes that the courtier is someone who can only flatter?" Xu Ziqiao said coldly, "As a courtier, he will serve his family and country, whether it is a courtier or a wife. , what point did you not do something that contributed to the country? If you do something, you will be suspected of conspiracy, and if you don't do it, you will be dereliction of duty. It's impossible to walk in the front, so why not let others walk in the front?" "Presumptuous!" Qian Yuan felt an unknown feeling in his
heart He was angry, but what Xu Ziqiao said was also reasonable. He threw the teacup heavily on the ground and kneaded the Qingming acupoint for a while before he calmed down, "Xu Aiqing, there is no woman's kindness in major matters."
"Women's benevolence? Could it be that His Majesty is preparing to bury incompetent people? Xiaoru can also give up these properties in his hands and spend half of his life happily at home, but if these things are gone, or if they change hands, they may not be there." This is what it looks like." On this point, Xu Ziqiao did not give in, and he was stalemate without any intention of retreating.
After all, he is a powerful minister, and Lin Huiru is also a dark horse in business. The combined status of the two of them is very important, and Qian Yuan must be jealous.
But although Xu Ziqiao's words are not pleasant, they are true. Good medicine is good for the disease, and honest words are good for deeds. Although Qian Yuan was angry, he still understood the truth. His chest heaved for a moment, and he could only wave his hands to chase him away, "Xu Aiqing, you should go back and think about it.
" Rest well, Your Majesty, and I will take your leave." Xu Ziqiao bowed his head in salute, turned his head and left with a cold face, the arbitrary thoughts of the ruler really made him a little intolerable, not to mention that Lin Huiru had done so much, but so plainly Being suspected for no reason, although Qian Yuan is a wise king, this also makes him unbearable.
In order not to let Lin Huiru think too much, Xu Ziqiao still deliberately concealed this matter, and didn't mention it after returning home, but for some reason, this matter still reached Lin Huiru's ears. But this is not about the content of their quarrel, it's just that Xu Ziqiao was unhappy before returning home.
"You quarreled with His Majesty? Because of what?" Lin Huiru took Xu Ziqiao's arm, as if wanting to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.
Xu Ziqiao rubbed Lin Huiru's head, and said perfunctorily, "It's nothing, it's just a disagreement. I'm going to leave a room at home to take care of the pot of flowers temporarily. Do you mind?" "Why do you mind? At least until the flowers
fall It's quite nice. But, don't change the subject, you seldom have conflicts with His Majesty, this time you have an audience alone, you have always gotten along well with His Majesty on such important matters, why are you arguing about?" Lin Huiru frowned and asked seriously After all, Xu Ziqiao, as a courtier, if there are too many conflicts, there will always be an excuse for the next offense.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Xu Ziqiao could only helplessly say, "It's really nothing. After all, there are two people with their own unique opinions. It's just a little bit of conflict. Don't worry, Your Majesty will not target you because of this matter." Me."
"Don't come here, someone reported back at night that some people from the palace went to the vicinity of the other garden, is it related to me?" Lin Huiru felt a little uncomfortable all day long, after all, this incident has nothing to do with it. It is related to the Western Regions, and the Western Regions is what she is most worried about. After all, she was once suspected by the whole country because of the same English as the Western Regions. Now that this kind of thing happens, maybe someone will have something to do with her.
Unable to bear Lin Huiru's soft temper, Xu Ziqiao could only express His Majesty's worries, "Don't worry about it, Your Majesty will figure it out. You don't need to rent such a thing at all, and I believe you. If Your Majesty wants to It doesn't make sense, at worst you and I won't stay in the capital, even if you find a mountain forest to spend your life." "
I'm afraid we will encounter endless pursuit first." Lin Huiru sighed helplessly, "Maybe I'm here It is difficult for people to accept or understand many things, but you are innocent after all, I thought about it, I should tell you the facts of these things, you have the right to know the truth if you defend me like this."
Hearing this, Xu Ziqiao felt a little dignified, "No, I did it voluntarily, and I also believe in you. If you think it's embarrassing to say, it's better not to say it." "It's not embarrassing, but I think you will be very
embarrassed It's hard to understand." Lin Huiru also overturned the five-flavored bottle in her heart, now that Xu Ziqiao defends her so much, she has no reason not to believe him, but she has to worry about whether Xu Ziqiao will be frightened.
"If you want to say something, as long as you are willing to answer my questions, why don't you understand?" Xu Ziqiao was a little puzzled now. In fact, he was not curious, but he was really curious.
Lin Huiru let out a sigh of relief and shook her head, pinching her temples with pale fingers, she had to think about how to explain this to Xu Ziqiao, "Some things are hard to reason with, and I'm even worried It will scare you, for example, some inexplicable things in the world, you can't tell why, but it happened, and it happened very suddenly, there is no reason at all, such as those who meet ghosts."
Chapter 636 Subverting Concepts
Hearing what she said, Xu Ziqiao smiled instead, "Those things are all made up to scare children, how can there be no traces of things, even fortune tellers predict some things based on astrology and heaven, just like you can see clouds It's the same as distinguishing the weather."
Lin Huiru shook her head and became serious. She didn't know whether it was a ghost or not, but it was hard for her to figure it out just here, "Well, let me ask you this, do you think it's possible? , A person will suddenly arrive at another place, without even passing a carriage or something, just suddenly." "
How is it possible, you mean, you came here suddenly?" Xu Ziqiao really felt a little embarrassed. Huiru means, "Many children start to remember things suddenly, so don't think too much." "
That's not the case, maybe I should tell you this, I did come here suddenly, not a memory, maybe a soul, You may find it difficult to understand, but the place where I used to live is completely different from here, and now you find it strange and almost impossible. In my original world, we have become accustomed to it, including what I made Those foods can be seen everywhere in our streets." Lin Huiru said this almost with a serious heart, and she was not sure whether Xu Ziqiao would mind or not.
Xu Ziqiao was silent for a moment after hearing this, and her heart was raised little by little.
"What do you mean?" Xu Ziqiao's train of thought was confused now, he had never heard of such a strange thing, how could there be another world? "Are you dreaming? Or are you in another country..."
"It's not another country, it's another world, which is completely different from this world. The things there are not understandable here." Lin Hui Ru looked serious, "Perhaps you haven't even thought about my original world. For this world, even if it is a fairyland, it's not bad, but we don't know mana, it's just that something called technology is more advanced."
Seeing that Xu Ziqiao was still confused, Lin Huiru could only let out a sigh of relief and changed his way of explanation, "Let's put it this way, I am Lin Huiru, and I am not Lin Huiru, at least the place where I grew up was not Here, one day, I was caught in an avalanche in the place where I originally lived, and when I woke up, it was the days when I married you, just after...falling into the water." "Are you frozen stupid
? "Xu Ziqiao stretched out his hand to touch Lin Huiru's forehead, but Lin Huiru blocked it.
Lin Huiru shook her head and felt helpless, "Don't deceive yourself, many things are difficult to understand, isn't it? The Western Region dialect you think is also the language of another country in our country, but everyone will learn it and master it. It is even said that this is a capital."
"You mean, you came here after you encountered an avalanche?" Xu Ziqiao gradually understood, after all, if you understand it this way, there are many impossibilities in Lin Huiru It is also understandable.
"Well, I know very well that in that world I would be a year or two older than I am now, except for my appearance and name, my figure is not like this, at least I should be taller." Lin Huiru frowned and gestured at her body Seeing that Xu Ziqiao hadn't said anything for a long time, he hesitated and asked, "Don't you still think I'm out of my mind ââ?
"
Huiru couldn't refute for a while, "I don't know how to explain it, but it's okay if it comes. About all the things I make, in our world, everyone is used to it. Those things you haven't eaten, They are everywhere, as well as glass and jewelry. For that place, glass is actually a very cheap thing, and we even use glass to make panels for windows." After hearing Lin Huiru say so much, Xu Ziqiao's eyes were a little
bit Jingyan, "If you say this, it should be a very beautiful world." "
Not necessarily, although it is much more convenient than here, but the environment is not good. Well, I will talk to you when I have time. Now, you should understand Is there something strange about me?" Lin Huiru asked cautiously.
Xu Ziqiao nodded, "It can be understood that you are Lin Huiru in another world that is completely different from the present one, and everything you know is something that the world takes for granted." "Yes, yes, that's what it means
. Lin Huiru was a little excited, and it was great that he could understand, "Would you...because I feel bad for you?"
Seeing Lin Huiru's cautious look, Xu Ziqiao couldn't help but smile, "No, It is my honor to be able to marry you for three lifetimes. Thinking about it this way, I was very disappointed when Lin Huiru married me, but now that I think about it, I am lucky to be you." For some reason,
Lin Huiru's heartbeat suddenly missed With a slap, the bases of your ears turned red involuntarily, "If it wasn't for me, would you still plan to divorce your wife? You wouldn't listen to what I said before." "Maybe maybe, but since it's you, there's no need to think about it so much.
" It's the place." Xu Ziqiao rubbed Lin Huiru's head with a smile on his face, these things really cannot be known by others.
Lin Huiru felt sweet in her heart, and a big rock fell to the ground. In this way, after the frank meeting, she would have nothing to worry about. Will you be afraid if you know it? I didn't expect you to be able to accept it. If I knew it earlier, I would have told you earlier. I've been running around like a thief for so long, and I'm worried about dreaming and talking in my sleep at night. "
Hearing what she said, Xu Ziqiao smiled helplessly, "It turns out that you have been worrying because of this. It's also my fault that I didn't tell you earlier that I don't mind these things, but even if you know now, you have to continue to take care of it. This matter is kept secret, especially the princess. I will think of a reason to excuse your Majesty's suspicion, or we will simply leave this place of right and wrong. You are so powerful, we live together It will be like a paradise. But from now on, I should keep those things in my heart, and I can earn enough money now, so don't arouse others' suspicion." "Well, I promise you." Lin
Huiru Nodding her head, she is also lazy, and now she has to work for a long time just to check the accounts separately every month, how could she still have time to do other things.
"By the way, since you said you came here all of a sudden, did you make the things you gave me, or did you bring them from your original world?" Xu Ziqiao remembered Lin Huiru before Giving him those self-defense items and medicine, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Chapter 637 Princess Xiang
In fact, sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.
Lin Huiru nodded after a brief hesitation in her heart, and fabricated a lie casually, "I don't know why I brought the things I prepared at the time, but those medicines can work in a short time, and they will be useful at critical moments. , remember to put it away."
"I see, keep it away." Xu Ziqiao nodded, although he hadn't used it yet, judging from Tang Junyi's enthusiasm for these things before, it should have excellent medicinal effects .
"It's not for you to keep it. I'll make you a sachet and put it in it some other day, just in case you need it." After Lin Huiru finished speaking, she suddenly laughed as if thinking of something.
Seeing him like this, Xu Ziqiao couldn't help being puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm just laughing. If I want to make trouble, I can do it when I first arrived. In short, don't worry, I won't do anything bad to this country. I'm not interested in those things, I'm only interested in making money." Lin Huiru blinked playfully at Xu Ziqiao, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that Seran can actually speak the Central Plains dialect. I think maybe we can find clues from her."
"No, if she is a spy, all our preparations will be in vain." Xu Ziqiao frowned.
Thinking about it carefully, what Xu Ziqiao said made sense. Lin Huiru nodded. Since Tang Junyi died, and the palace was on fire, Seran seemed to have moved to a royal courtyard. In order not to arouse others' suspicion, She never visited Seran again.
The flowers were sent much earlier than when Seran arrived, and Seran can understand the Central Plains dialect, if Seran is really hiding here, then there is really something strange about it...
" I'll find an opportunity to go to the Royal Courtyard, and see if I can find out from Seran." Lin Huiru thought about it carefully, after all, she had to do something to clear her grievances before winning, otherwise If there is a grudge in the emperor's heart, even if she will not deal with the emperor much in the future, Xu Ziqiao's company with the king is like a tiger, at least to dispel the other party's doubts.
"Then be careful. If there is something real, there will be other defenses in Bieyuan. If you go suddenly, it will definitely arouse their suspicion. Wait a minute, I think I can give you a legitimate reason." " Xu Ziqiao lowered his eyes and thought for a while, after much deliberation, it is better to use Qian Yuan to dispatch her.
...
When Dao Lin Huiru arrived in Bieyuan logically, she still had the reputation of expressing condolences for the royal family. After all, she was the only one in Jiangguo who could talk to Seran.
The Royal Villa deserves to be the Royal Villa. Its grandeur can never be compared with the wealthy and nobles. It is not because of how luxurious it is, but because everything is exquisite. All the designs and workmanship are from the hands of famous craftsmen. Even the things displayed are the hands of well-known workshops or masters.
When she saw Lin Huiru at first, Seran still couldn't believe her eyes. She was going to lose hair every day when she stayed here. At first she thought that the most boring thing was to be a flower shelf in Tang Junyi's mansion, but now she understood that now she was a so-called canary, locked in a gorgeous cage.
"Why are you here?" Seran looked at Lin Huiru in surprise, and since there were only the two of them left in the room, Seran stood up and refilled a glass for Lin Huiru.
But that's wine.
Lin Huiru glanced at the wine in the glass, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "I have to condolences to the princess. How does it feel that no one is restraining you? At least you don't have to hide it here, and it's so good." Maybe it's because life
is a bit boring?" "It's not just boring, it's enough to see through life here, I think my life is almost done, and I was thinking about when to be buried in flowers, and this life is over. What's the point of being alive?" Seran sipped his wine slowly, and sighed, "I have nothing to do here all day, and there is no one around me to talk to. The maid I brought It's almost all eyeliner, if you didn't come today, I might already be thinking about how to die."
"Okay, bad luck is not bad luck, one bite will die. Although it is boring, how many people are envious of your life without worrying about food and clothing? Find something to do for yourself when you have nothing to do, such as planting flowers and grass. " Lin Huiru looked at the wine and didn't dare to drink it for a long time. She didn't drink much in the first place, and if she got drunk and lost her temper, she would be in trouble.
"We don't pay that much attention, but I'm not like you. I can grow things or make such wonderful containers. After thinking about it, it would be great if I could be like you in my life, but unfortunately I will never be able to do it. If so If you are fine, why don't you walk around and talk with me more." Seran's wine was glass after glass, and Lin Huiru was a little trembling watching.
"Drink less, if you get drunk, you will be in trouble." Lin Huiru couldn't help but said.
Seran shook his head, his pupils shrunk slightly under the sun like a cat's eyes, "Don't worry, I drink this every day. If I stay alone like this, I'm afraid I'll really be depressed every day and accumulate depression here. Died of illness. You haven't promised me yet, if you have time, come here to see me more, otherwise I will really die here, or die of boredom." "That's not okay, I still
have My business has to be done, and if you and I have been in close contact, even if the feudal kingdom does not doubt you, His Majesty will doubt me. No one can understand what you and I are saying now. It is impossible for you to have no one to speak, Even if the maid is here to monitor you, it's okay to chat with you occasionally, the current environment is such that you should learn to live with the situation." Lin Huiru reluctantly persuaded, seeing Seran like this, there should be no chance to contact outsiders, it seems ...
"No, you must help me, or I will commit suicide here." Selan suddenly grabbed Lin Huiru, as if I would not let go unless you agreed.
...
"That's it, I think, maybe we can find a way to re-give her a yard, and then send our people to guard it, so that it will be convenient to keep an eye on if there is any news coming in or out." I told Xu Ziqiao about it.
Xu Ziqiao nodded, this is indeed a good way, "Okay, I will talk to His Majesty about this tomorrow, if you have any suitable place to look at in advance, the money will be allocated to you from the treasury, it is best to find someone who can Places that are convenient for observation, at least places with a large flow of people, should be denied first, and it is best to be close to Xiangfu."
Chapter 638
Lin Huiru couldn't help being taken aback by what Xu Ziqiao said throughout the article, and then laughed, "You said that, but it reminded me of another way to make money." "Even talking can make you think of making money.
" ?" Xu Ziqiao was a little helpless, Lin Huiru had lost Qian's eyes recently.
Lin Huiru nodded, "Yes, let me tell you this, your requests just remind me that people who want to buy a house can find a more convenient way to find the house they want, and those who want to sell a house Sell ââas soon as possible, in fact, it is the so-called house, but there are not many houses in the capital, if we ask for more, we may not be able to find it." After all, the capital is at the foot of the emperor, and it is not a trivial matter to find a house that you like
here However, it is more likely that the rich and noble families in the capital have a lot of mansions in their hands but they don't live there.
Xu Ziqiao thought about it carefully, and it is indeed the case. If it is really difficult to find it, it may be really troublesome, "Then what do you think?
" Is it?" Lin Huiru blinked, "This way saves a lot of effort, the most important thing is the house that came out of His Majesty's hands, His Majesty should be more at ease." Now Qianyuan still has some concerns about her, even
if It is better to be vigilant about small things.
Lin Huiru's words can be regarded as a reminder to Xu Ziqiao that although he has been talking to Qianyuan recently, there are still a lot of official affairs assigned to him in the court. There were so many things that he couldn't turn around for a while.
"Okay, I will play with His Majesty tomorrow, and you need to worry about these things." Xu Ziqiao said helplessly, brushing Lin Huiru's hair away from her ears.
Taking a house directly from Qianyuan, Qianyuan is more at ease about this matter, and Seran is always in a good mood as long as she leaves the Royal Garden, and now she has also received an amnesty, at least she can go out and walk around as she pleases. It's not like eating and waiting to die in the Royal Garden.
"Although the yard behind this is deserted, I think it's suspicious to use it. If you want to grow some flowers and plants, it's not bad, or it's a good thing to grow some grapes to make wine yourself. How about it, are you satisfied?" Lin Hui Ru took Seran around the house, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly felt like an intermediary.
Seran was a little helpless, "I can't say I'm dissatisfied. It doesn't matter where it is, as long as it's not the cage where I was imprisoned. If I really want to spend the rest of my life here, I might really consider decorating it."
"Since you are satisfied, it's fine. People from Bieyuan will send your things later. If there is anything in the future, just send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pass the message to me." After Lin Huiru said this, she suddenly said I have a bad premonition, I hope Seran won't rush to find her like Princess Anning.
"Okay, I heard that there has always been a talk about housewarming in the Central Plains. I don't know if you would like to celebrate with me tonight. I always heard that there are many shops under your name that make delicious meals. I don't know if I can have that." Take a chance?" Seran's eyes were shining when he said this.
Although she is not as fond of food as Princess An Ning is, it's just that she has almost been suffocated by herself during this period of time.
Originally, Lin Huiru wanted to refuse because she needed to avoid suspicion, but thinking about how pitiful Seran was in a foreign land, she softened her heart and agreed, "Okay, I will order people to prepare, and I will accompany you to eat hot pot here tonight."
"Hot pot?" Seran was a little puzzled.
Lin Huiru nodded, "Well, can you eat spicy food?"
"I don't know, I seldom eat spicy food." Seran shook his head, with a little excitement in his eyes.
Lin Huiru chatted with Seran until the evening, and it happened that Xu Ziqiao was also left in the palace today. Now that the weather is still hot, a stove was set up in the house, which seemed a little strange.
"Is this a hobby of you Central Plains people?" Seran looked at the ice mirror and brazier in the room, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Forget it, let's change it." Lin Huiru beckoned and sent someone to change it to Chuan Chuan, which relieved the heat in her heart.
However, when she went out for a trip, she happened to see what Seran put in her cup when she came back, and at the end she looked around guiltily.
Lin Huiru's reduced vigilance was raised again.
"It's better to drink more water to eat spicy food. The weather is not cold now. If you get angry, you will be in trouble. Seran said, but the hand that pushed the cup was caught by Lin Huiru.
"It doesn't matter whether you drink the water or not, what matters is what did you mix in the water? "Lin Huiru didn't intend to go around or hide with Seran. The people around here are all her people, and Bai Qianyi is also on the roof ready to go. She has nothing to worry about. Seran frowned
. Wrinkled, but did not hide it, "How do you know? "
It's a coincidence that I came back. I happened to see it. If I didn't find it myself, what are you going to give me to drink?" "Lin Huiru's first reaction was poison. While holding Seran's hand, she pulled out the hairpin on her head.
She couldn't help feeling a little lucky that there was still a silver hairpin on her head, but when she put it into the cup, the hairpin was not there. Discoloration, in this way, although the possibility of poison is removed, it is more likely to be something like a drug. Killing her would not be a simple matter, Seran is far from being so stupid Seeing
Lin Huiru's actions, Seran smiled, "You are my first friend, I will not harm you, those things are not harmful to your body, only good, if you don't believe me If so, you don't need to drink.
" "If it's a good thing, why don't you drink it and show it to me? " "Lin Huiru raised her eyebrows. She is not a fool. How could she trust something of unknown origin and their unfamiliar relationship.
But what she didn't expect was that Seran actually drank it. That glass of water, and then opened her mouth to signal that she had really swallowed it, "I didn't lie to you. "
"Since you don't mean to harm me, you have to tell me what it is, right? " "Lin Huiru frowned. This feeling of being kept in the dark made her a little uncomfortable. After all, she also took her relationship with Seran seriously, but she drugged this teacup.
Ser Lan withdrew his hand and said calmly, "If you tell the people on the roof to leave, I'll tell you." "
He doesn't understand, so you can just say it." Lin Huiru was a little surprised, Ser Lan must have skill It was on his body, otherwise how could he have discovered Bai Qianyi's existence.
Chapter 639 I know everything
But Seran shook his head, "I can't believe it, and I advise you not to trust the people around you too much. Although I don't have conclusive evidence to make you avoid anyone, but be careful, you will save your own life." "
"Don't play tricks here, you know martial arts, if I don't prepare any more, wouldn't I just let you eat?" Lin Huiru was very upset, if she could also point to the fists and embroidered legs, it would be great, otherwise go away Be wary of one's heart wherever you go, it is really a loss of trust between people.
"Since I know martial arts, if I want your life, I should be able to make you kill you without making a sound." Seran said lightly, and her hand was fast the next moment. There was an afterimage, and then stopped at Lin Huiru's neck, "Have you been able to hide? As long as I didn't stop my hand just now, you will suffocate in a short time when you hit your throat. When people can't breathe, they can't breathe at all. I can't make a sound."
Lin Huiru's face was a little ugly, but what Seran said was true, and she had no choice but to compromise, and it was more from the inexplicable trust, "Okay." It was
hard After letting Bai Qianyi leave the yard, Seran took out a small paper bag, which contained very few things, about the size of a fingernail, but if it was poison such as arsenic or crane crest red, This is enough to kill a person.
"This is what I put in just now. Don't let me drink it anymore. This thing is rare in the world. It may save your life at a critical moment. For the sake of our friends, I want to help you." Seran pulverized the medicine again this time, it was colorless and odorless.
At this time, Lin Huiru became suspicious again, "You still haven't told me what these things are for, and since you know that someone is on the roof and can kill me, why didn't you find out when I was at the door just now. "
Seran chuckled twice, looking at Lin Huiru with helplessness, "You are so easy to deceive, I really can't imagine that you will be a businessman who is in the world, so defenseless, no wonder You have been killed so many times before, did you survive all because of luck?"
"So what, I just consider you a friend." Lin Huiru said angrily.
"Friend?" Seran lowered his eyes, "Hi friend, I'm actually not that good at all, it's just that my nose is very sensitive, I was just joking with you just now, I just smelled medicinal herbs , that subordinate of yours must have been to a pharmacy recently. Although I was quick in that move just now, I can only protect myself. Maybe my skill can only be a pickpocket. As long as you are more vigilant, I will not It poses any threat to you."
Lin Huiru was at a loss for words now, she was still too naive, "Okay, don't go around the bush, just tell me what it is." "
You went to see the potted flower, Right?" Seran's words made Lin Huiru shudder from head to toe.
Logically speaking, Seran should be in a very passive state in the capital. If she can know her movements, the potted flower, and someone who can deliver the letter, could it be that Seran is really the eyes and ears in the capital?
"How do you know? You're not..." Lin Huiru had many questions in her mind for a moment, but she didn't know which one to ask first when it came to her mouth.
Seran stood up and closed the door, "I know there's something wrong with that potted flower, but it's not what you think. There's someone else staring at you, but I don't know who it is. It was just broken by accident. Although the flower is highly poisonous, it has an antidote. Few people know about the flower, and even fewer people know about the antidote. Guess yourself."
"Since you know so much, why didn't you say it?" Lin Huiru couldn't help being a little annoyed, since someone knew about it, Seran might not stand up if she didn't find out, "If something really happened Don't you feel guilty?"
"Why should I say that? Wake up, I'm not from Jiangguo, I'm just telling you this so that you don't have any problems. The poison of the flower is actually not clear. It proves that its seeds must be highly poisonous only when the flowers fall, this is its antidote, and it is used by the locals to prevent it, after all, sometimes they do not know where this kind of flower will appear." Selan sat down, Carefully opened the medicine package and poured it into the cup.
"Don't underestimate this little thing. The antidote to a flower is the pollen when it blooms. Do you know how difficult it is to take out so many pistils? After all, it's still wasted. This is the last one I got. I advise you to obey." Seran said solemnly, without any joke in his tone.
Holding the cup, Lin Huiru was still a little hesitant. After all, what Seran and Qingwu said were completely different things. If there were other ways to prevent it, she would have a try, but this thing of unknown origin, she I really don't have the guts.
Just as she was thinking, a dagger was suddenly placed on her neck, and Seran also added water to the glass, and said softly, "Drink." "You won't kill me." Lin Huiru didn't agree
. The confidence to know where she came from, but just have this intuition.
"It's better to die by my hands than to let you die under the flowers. I don't want to live anymore." Seran smiled, and the laughter made people feel a little creepy.
Lin Huiru even suspected that Seran had gone crazy during this time, and would say such perverted words.
"It's the first time I've met such an interesting person as you. The reason I'm alive is because I want to see if you will make any miracle happen, but if you are dead by then, this capital will be much less interesting, so , It's better to die together. Killing a man of the capital like you, I shouldn't lose in this life. Both Jiang Guo and Loulan will go to war. If you die sooner or later, you're dead. It's better to go to hell and reincarnate earlier." Seran said With that, the blade pressed even tighter, which made Lin Huiru feel a tingling pain faintly.
Lin Huiru couldn't help being shocked, this woman is really crazy, not joking with her!
In desperation, she could only move her lips and drink the glass of water. The strange thing is that although it has been mixed with something, the water is still water, colorless and tasteless.
Seeing her drink it obediently, Seran put away the rhinoceros horn knife, "Sorry for the scar on your neck, but I think it will heal soon. The wound is very shallow and won't leave a scar. If you Listen to me sooner, and it won't be like this."
"Since I've already drunk it, why don't you tell me everything you know? If you could have taken the preemptive action earlier, the people of the two countries would not have suffered from the war. Now that Jiang Guo is under the enemy's back and forth, do you have the heart to see the people in the world suffer? " Lin Huiru frowned, since she drank it, there was no need to worry about it, but what Seran knew, she must know.
Chapter 640 The flowering period is approaching
"If I really have that much ability, will I be sent here and be in the same situation as that proton? But he seems to be better than me, at least he can move around. Maybe you think this will be an ambush by Loulan, but The truth is, whether you believe it or not, I know that these are just accidental." Seran's clear eyes are full of sincerity, with the urge to believe wholeheartedly.
But Lin Huiru calmed down and squinted her eyes, "What kind of chance allows you to know the situation in the capital so well?
" Chess pieces, although they are not yet ready to be used, I can't really keep my ears to the outside world." Seran raised his eyebrows, and looked straight at Lin Huiru with his hands on his chin.
"So, you mean that they didn't expect you to know the toxicity of Luoshui?" Lin Huiru had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and now she didn't know whether she should trust Seran or not.
Forget it, let's take a step at a time.
"You really have nothing to tell me? Since you want to help me, why don't you stop there?" Lin Huiru frowned and asked again.
"I don't need to help you, but these are just my own whim. I have already said what I can tell you. In the end, I have nothing to hide. Believe it or not. I said it before, Regarding that flower, I just misunderstood it by accident." Seran's calm expression made it impossible for anyone to see the slightest flaw.
Lin Huiru hooked the corners of her lips, "It's nice to say, but you also know that helping me is helping yourself, but if Loulan really makes trouble, you know exactly what will happen. If the city gate catches fire and the fish in the pond, you will You can't run away. It's true that your original plan was disrupted by my appearance, but it's also because of me that some things can be much simpler, am I right?" Hearing what she said, Seran was silent for a
moment , smiled for the first time, "You always have strange confidence in inexplicable places, but you are right. Indeed, if I join hands with you, many things can get twice the result with half the effort for me. But the current situation is You don't trust me, and I can't trust you either."
"Tell me, how can you trust me." Lin Huiru fiddled with the melon seed shells on the table, and took Seran's words, there were only advantages and no disadvantages.
But Seran asked back, "Then how can you trust me?"
"I've already drank that inexplicable thing of yours, so I don't believe you?" Lin Huiru was a little helpless, and she didn't know about bargaining. How long does it take to have an ending.
"But I said it was a good thing. Forget it, there is no point in arguing like this. Anyway, this is the only news now. I am not their secret work in the capital. There are other people, and all I know is There is no result for us to continue talking like this, but I have a way to make that person show off." Seran blinked, and the words were quite conspiratorial.
Only then did Lin Huiru become interested, "Oh? What can I do?"
"Now they are eager to count on me to do something. If I really have a chance to convince them of me, maybe they will tell me the identity of that person." , or let me know a little bit about the relevant information." Seran's implication was that Lin Huiru had to create an opportunity for her first.
"So, what do you want to do?" Lin Huiru asked again, still a little confused.
"At least you have to pretend that you have a good relationship with me. The people around me are all their spies. If they notice our relationship, and you are the one who is watched by many eyes, how can you There is no need for me to do anything, and they will take the initiative to contact me." Although Seran didn't speak anymore, but seeing her expression was still hesitant to speak, Lin Huiru understood, "But there is still one more thing to do about this matter
. The risk is that no one in this huge Jiang country can understand our words. Before I gain the trust of your imperial brother, I am afraid that I will be suspected by His Majesty, right?" "Yes, how to turn around this
relationship depends on It's up to you." Seran said in a deep voice.
"I'll think about it, it's getting late, you should go to bed earlier." After all, this matter is of great importance. If Selan is really a secret operation that has been hidden for a long time, then this move will make her, and even Xu Ziqiao Losing Qianyuan's trust, Jiang Guo will be weak at that time. Although it is impossible for Loulan to be annexed by a single country, it is very possible to be encroached by many countries.
After returning to the prime minister's mansion, Lin Huiru was still a little brooding about this matter, and before Xu Ziqiao came back, she went to the wing where the flower was kept in the dark. Although it is said that when the flowers are not falling, they are so poisonous, but Xu Ziqiao is very vigilant in dealing with people, so she is not allowed to approach her, at most let Bai Qianyi take a look at it every day.
Now that the fakes have been sent back to the palace, they originally planned to stay in the palace to avoid people's eyes, but Xu Ziqiao suddenly made a suggestion.
If someone has a way to predict the flowering period, staying in the palace may lead to other discoveries. After all, this method has a great chance of winning. This opportunity to find that person is better than letting Qian Yuan pretend to have passed away.
As soon as Lin Huiru arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Bai Qianyi stopped him, "Master Xu ordered you not to let you in." "Come on,
our relationship is not much better than your relationship with him? I just went in to see Just a glance." Lin Huiru waved his hands and wanted to move on, but Bai Qianyi's eyes were extremely firm.
"What it looked like when it came here is what it looks like now, there is no difference. Don't look at it, go back and rest early, and Xu Xiang will be back soon." Bai Qianyi stood in front of Lin Huiru, just at the door of the room.
Lin Huiru had other concerns at this time, "You make me think that there will be problems. Since it's nothing, when the flowers bloom just right, it's okay to stay in the palace for so long, and I've seen it before, you If you are so cautious, is there something else going on?"
Bai Qianyi was a little helpless, she couldn't hide some things from Lin Huiru at all, and now Lin Huiru seemed to have a clue, so he couldn't hide it anymore , "Madam, this thing is too dangerous."
"Has the flower fallen?" Lin Huiru frowned and asked, speaking of danger, it's only time for the flower to fall.
Seeing that Lin Huiru stepped on the wrong side, Bai Qianyi could only nod his head, "Yeah."
