Chapter 37
After the rain, the wind in the morning was very cool.
The chicken soup exuded an attractive aroma, and as the heat rose, Yingying looked up and saw Qiu Yu's enlarged face.
At close range, Yingying found that his complexion was very bad. His skin was white and transparent, his lower eyelids were blue, and his thin lips were red like blood. Yingying couldn't help but look at his eyes more and felt that his lips seemed to be really dyed with blood.
"What are you looking at?" I noticed Yingying's gaze, Qiu Yu supported her elbows on the stone table, and her voice was slightly hoarse when she pressed her back against her upper lip.
Yingying felt that he was suppressing his cough. When she saw that he was in a bad state, she asked kindly: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Qiu Yu coughed lightly, frowned and ignored Yingying.
He raised his hand to call Chunxi, and pointed to the chicken soup in front of Yingying and said, "Supply a bowl of it."
"...Young Master." Chunxi stood still and didn't move. She spoke hesitantly: "The doctor said, you can't eat meat these days."
In fact, because Qiu Yu was weak and had poor stomach and stomach, he had clear soup and low water all year round, mostly medicinal food.
Taking advantage of Qiu Yu's silence, Chunxi tentatively said: "I just saw Chunyue making medicinal porridge for you, and the taste was also excellent. Why not serve you a bowl?"
Although Qiu Yu was gloomy and had a bad temper, he rarely got angry with his servants in this regard. He never spoke, just to agree. Chunxi was extremely happy, afraid that Qiu Yu would go to the kitchen quickly as if he had regretted it. Yingying saw Qiu Yu that he seemed to have a meal here, so she wanted to finish the drink and leave quickly and try to reduce contact with him.
Chunxi has a great cooking skills. I don’t know how long she stewed this chicken soup. The minced meat melts in her mouth. Even the small vegetables in the soup have a meaty flavor.
Yingying was eating happily alone. If she didn't go to see Qiu Yu, she wouldn't know that Qiu Yu was looking at her.
The breeze rolled up Yingying's spacious sleeves. Today she wore a lotus root powder rolled-up dress. The thin sleeves slid down with the movement of her raising her hand, revealing her slender wrists. After all, it was summer clothes, and the girl's white and tender neck was exposed. As Yingying lowered her head, Qiu Yu saw a thin red line on her neck, spreading into her lace.
Chunxi quickly came back with the medicine porridge. Yingying took a curious look and saw that the medicine porridge was white and green with a hint of bitterness, and the aroma was completely covered by the chicken soup.
Qiu Yu didn't know whether he had a bad appetite or was disgusting the porridge with a bad taste, so he stirred it in the porridge with a porcelain spoon, lowered his eyes and hung his eyes and felt tired and weak.
Maybe he thought Yingying was eating chicken soup so delicious, Qiu Yu felt unbalanced and was disgusting: "I heard that Zhang Lingxue died very miserably, and her whole face was fuzzy and bloody. When the guards found it, they were covered in blood."
Yingying's lips turned red after drinking chicken soup, and her mouth was stuffed. After hearing Qiu Yu's words, she raised her shiny eyes and her expression was a little unspeakable.
Why did her whole face get scratched? Yingying was awake when she killed someone. She just scratched her face with the tip of her sword while Zhang Lingxue was quibbling, and then she just slashed her heart twice. The last sword was clean and neat, not as terrifying as Qiu Yu said.
"She... deserves it." It was speculated that Qiu Yu might be cheating on her, so Yingying swallowed those excuses and only spit out these three words.
Qiu Yu rarely didn't sarcastically at her. He nodded softly, his lips raised and his eyelashes were curled, and his smile felt very youthful when he smiled.
"It's true." He agreed in a low voice.
Qiu Yu rarely laughs, nor does he know that when he smiles, he can dispel the gloom between his eyebrows and eyes. The handsome young man is clean and flawless.
Yingying had a smile in her previous life and pestered Qiu Yu to him. In order to make him laugh, Yingying racked her brains to touch her cold butt. Later, she lost her patience and tied her back home.
Perhaps Qiu Yu knew where he hit Yingying, otherwise he would not have smiled at her in order to frame her and smiled at her from afar. The blooming white lotus in that moment made Yingying feel rippling. She couldn't control her for a while and then touched his clean smile.
Just like at this moment, Yingying was stunned for a while when she saw Qiu Yuxiao, her heart seemed to be scratched by a little hook. Qiu Yu noticed Yingying's daze and quickly restrained her smile, narrowed her eyes and called her: "Gu Yingying."
Yingying came back to her senses and quickly pressed the little bit of her heart to death. She huh, she huh, huh, she hangs her head and continues to drink chicken soup, trying to cover up her crime just now.
Qiu Yu didn't bother with this matter. He continued the topic just now and praised Yingying: "You finally did something. Unfortunately, when you should be cruel, you were not cruel enough. Last night, the third prince protected you, so you can do it more."
It seems that he believed that Yingying had killed Zhang Lingxue.
Yingying was a little depressed, and she quickly let go of her thoughts. Thinking about it, Qiu Yu was Qin Rong's confidant after all, so it was not difficult for her to know such confidential news.
In short, there are so many mistakes. Even if Qiu Yu decided that she was the one who killed her, Yingying did not talk much about this matter with him. She killed Zhang Lingxue just for revenge, which does not mean that she likes to kill people, and does not disgust this matter, and subconsciously does not want to mention it.
A bowl of medicinal porridge cooled quickly, and Qiu Yu didn't move a mouthful of it from beginning to end. Yingying couldn't feel Qiu Yu's gaze later. She lowered her head and sucked in a mouthful of silver threads. When Qiu Yu Liangliang said, "You're eating so delicious."
Yingying picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth. She looked at the medicine porridge opposite her that made people lose appetite. She turned her head and saw that Chunxi was not in the yard, so she asked politely: "If you don't dislike it...why, you secretly take a sip of mine?"
Qiu Yu is gloomy and not obedient. This is the first time he took the initiative to say so much to Yingying. It is enough to make jokes that you like. Besides, Qiu Yu is quite good at treating her this time, Yingying thought he was greedy for her chicken soup, but she was embarrassed to speak.
Qiu Yu's eyebrows hopped. I don't know if it was poked or was angry. The porcelain spoon in his hand fell into the bowl and made a crisp sound. His face looked ugly and he couldn't suppress his cough. He coughed against his lips for a long time.
Thinking that Qiu Yu was one year younger than her and couldn't even drink chicken soup on weekdays, Yingying felt more and more pitiful as she thought about it. Now seeing him so excited, she thought he was embarrassed, so she wanted to say something to relieve the embarrassment.
squeak--
The door of the room was pushed open not far away. Qiu Anan, who had washed up, pushed open the door and came out. When he saw Yingying and Qiu Yu sitting together, he stopped and stood there.
Qiu Yu's body is getting better and worse. Heavy rain and cold air has entered his body these days. Because he was not asleep last night, he was soaked in the morning that he vomited blood. Now Yingying's breath became more and more uncomfortable, and the smell of blood spread between his lips and teeth.
Yingying thought Qiu Yu learned the truth about Zhang Lingxue's death from Qin Rong, but it was not.
Like Yingying's idea, Qiu Yu wanted to kill Zhang Lingxue last night. The woman almost harmed his sister. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Qiu Yu couldn't tolerate her alive. But when he was holding his sword out, he didn't expect to meet Yingying.
Yingying didn't notice him, Qiu Yu followed her. He saw everything about last night, including her forcing Zhang Lingxue to admit her crime and asking her to kowtow to apologize to Qiu An'an. To be honest, Qiu Yu was not surprised, and even a little shocked.
It turns out that the little bastard who is heartless and ignorant of human affairs also has a clear and sensible side.
The bloody smell increased, and Qiu Yu knew that he was coughing up blood again. He secretly wiped the blood on his lips with the back of his hand. When Qiu Anan came out, he stood up from the stone chair and left without saying a word.
Yingying's eyes were attracted by Qiu Anan, and she did not notice Qiu Yu's abnormality. She explained first: "It's not that I don't have you, don't think about it, Qiu Yu took the initiative to lean over."
Chunxi, who was following Qiu Anan, nodded, proving that Yingying was not lying. Qiu Anan cleared her throat, she ignored the problem directly, walked to Yingying and sat down, "Why are you here?"
Seeing that she was in good condition, Yingying replied truthfully: "It's nothing, come and see you."
Qiu Anan had a tense face, probably not wanting to laugh, but when she heard Yingying's straightforward answer, she couldn't help but lift the corners of her mouth. She cleared her throat again, lowered her head and pulled her sleeves, and replied uneasyly: "I'm pretty good."
"How was your injury?"
Yingying has memories of her previous life that are no more comfortable than Qiu Anan. She replied frivolously: "It's all small injuries, and I'm pretty good too."
"Then what happened to your brother?"
"I'm not seriously injured, my father is taking care of me."
"That's good, that's good, anyway...thank you for that day."
Yingying waved her hand, "You are welcome, I want to thank you for your brother, too."
After a few rounds of words, the leaves in the yard were rustling by the wind, and both of them were silent. After all, they were spoiled ladies, one of whom did not know how to bow his head and the other did not know what to say. The two stared at each other for a while, and then looked away together.
The scene was awkward for a while, and even Chunxi, the bystander, was uncomfortable.
It is not easy to say something like a mortal enemy who smiles at friends, let alone act. Yingying came to see if she is safe, but now she feels relieved when she sees her nothing, and hurriedly drank the chicken soup and prepared to say goodbye.
Qiu Anan was relieved to see her leaving, and felt a little regretful about her departure. He stood up unconsciously and gave her two steps. He saw that Yingying liked to drink chicken soup, and without thinking, he said, "Come and drink chicken soup when you have time."
After he finished speaking, he realized what was right in the words and quickly closed his mouth.
Yingying wanted to laugh a little, knowing that she would not run here again without any trouble, but she still nodded with great confidence.
After coming out of Qiu An'an, Yingying was inexplicably in a good mood. She forgot that she had a little song on her legs, and jumped around with a few steps, and then grinned in pain. This scene happened to fall into Princess Shunhe's eyes.
Yingying learned from Xiaodai that Princess Shunhe also followed them to Xishan to find people. It was basically the same as the direction of her previous life. Although I thought that Princess Shunhe was going to find Qiu An'an, Yingying still thanked her.
In her previous life, Princess Shunhe found Qiu Anan first than everyone else. If it weren't for her, Qiu Anan would have died. Moreover, Princess Shunhe was also injured because of this matter. However, in order to help her friends cover up the secret, she pretended to be nothing and even concealed Qin Rong.
Yingying remembers that her brother told her in her early years that Princess Shunhe was bored and introverted, and asked her to accompany this poor little princess when she entered the palace. Yingying didn't listen and was jealous at that time, her brother was too concerned about others. It was not until she lived a life that she realized that Princess Shunhe was really pitiful.
In her previous life, there were only Qiu Anan and Qin Rong around her. As a result, her brother was snatched away by Yingying. Her only friend was killed by Yingying, and she died under Yingying's sword.
Thinking of his brother's shock at that time, Yingying made a secret decision from her heart that she would treat this princess well in the future.
"Is the princess going to see Qiu An'an?" Yingying took the initiative to speak.
Shunhe was used to being alone and never taking a maid by her side. When she heard Yingying talking, she stopped and nodded slightly.
Yingying showed a sweet smile at her, "I heard from the third brother that His Royal Highness the Princess is so good at martial arts. Can Yingying go to you to learn a few tricks when she has time?"
Apart from Qin Rong and other confidants, not many people knew that Shunhe could be good at martial arts.
Her eyes flashed, and she nodded without asking any more questions. Seeing Yingying's eyes staring at her with bright eyes, she pursed her lips and replied: "Okay."
Shunhe's voice is very gentle. She is actually quite beautiful, but she dresses too simple on weekdays and loses her color due to her dullness all year round.
After finally responding, Yingying smiled even happier. Thinking that Shunhe didn't know how to deal with people like Yingying, she moved her arms and asked, "Is your brother okay?"
"Okay, thank you for your concern." Yingying knew that this was too anxious, so she didn't bother Shunhe and left quickly.
Originally, she was planning to return to Qingboju, but on the way back, Yingying saw her aunt.
As the queen, Gu Manru rarely went out without a big show. She stood by the pond in a graceful robe and admired the lotus flowers. Behind her, only the female official Yunxin stood. Yingying stopped and hurried behind the pillar, and found that there was a man standing beside her aunt. After careful look, she found that it was Prime Minister Kong Wei.
"System, can you hear what the two of them are saying?" From a distance, Yingying seemed very happy to see her aunt laughing.
I had known that this system was of no use, and Yingying also hoped that it could really say something. Unexpectedly, the system hummed and directly simulated Gu Manru's voice and said: [I think this kind of thing can't escape the eyes of Your Majesty. Yingying's child is too reckless in doing things.]
The system was replaced by Prime Minister Kong Wei's voice: [I think Miss Gu is extremely intelligent. Since she dared to directly look for Zhang Lingxue with a sword, she naturally made complete preparations.]
Yingying nodded when she heard this. In fact, even if Ri Qinrong didn't show up, she still had a way to remove herself, but that method was a bit stupid.
Gu Manru smiled when she heard this, and said softly: [Fortunately, Yingying is protected by Qin Rong and His Majesty, otherwise I really don’t know what to do with her.]
After listening to this a few words, Yingying realized that it was no secret that she killed Zhang Lingxue. No wonder Qiu Jia's attitude towards her changed so much. I think only Yingying would not be punished for such a thing. Even Emperor Wu Cheng had long expected that Yingying would not let Zhang Lingxue go.
Others only have one heart. Perhaps these people in the officialdom and the royal family have two hearts, as if everything is under their calculations. Yingying didn't hear anything strange from her aunt, and soon stopped the system from chanting.
She thought about it and questioned: "You didn't make up these words, right?"
The system felt that he was insulted and said angrily: [Yes, I made it up. In fact, your aunt is talking about love with Prime Minister Kong!]
"You are not allowed to say that to my aunt!" Yingying retorted.
You should know that Kong Wei had a rebellious heart in his previous life. After Qin Rong became the prince, he triggered a great rebellion. He counter-espionage plan one after another, and joined forces with other princes to kill Emperor Wucheng, and then turned around and wanted to destroy the Jing royal family and become emperor.
If Yingying hadn't witnessed this chaos at that time, she would never have thought that Prime Minister Kong, who was upright and upright, would have such a crazy side.
That is, after the Kong Wei Rebellion, Qin Rong ascended the throne in this chaos. Due to Kong Wei's counter-espionage plan, countless deaths and injuries were found in the royal family. After Qin Rong took office, no force could fight against him.
Yingying's brother quenched the chaos by killing Kong Wei himself. The Gu family represented by Gu Lingxiao quickly gained a foothold in the court. However, Yingying had already broken up with her brother at that time. Later, no matter how Qin Rong reused Gu Lingxiao, she had no relationship with her Gu Yingying.
Thinking of the Kong Wei rebellion, his aunt had passed away, Yingying was not worried about any conspiracy between her and Kong Wei. Yingying knew very well that if she had gone there, she would definitely have learned a lesson. Yingying secretly went in the opposite direction and simply went to see Yan Ning again.
After the accident at the lake, Princess Huale said that Yan Ning did not fall into the water accidentally, but was pushed into the lake.
It was because of her words that Prince Zhaoshi had been investigating the murderer these days, but found nothing.
Yingying only heard about this recently. She hesitated and wanted to find Zhao Shi and held back. There was one thing she kept in her heart and never dared to tell others, that was when she jumped down to save Yan Ning that day, she had staggered Yan Ning's hand twice.
It’s not that he didn’t catch him, but that after Yingying grabbed him, Yan Ning threw away himself. If Yingying felt the error in the water flowing, wouldn’t it be that the two times were accidents?
If Princess Huale was lying, then there was only one truth-
It was the lake where Yanning took the initiative to jump.
