The prince of the highest poison, you must serve
80 Chapter 12
Chapter 80
The yard is not big, and it's quite bleak. There is only one piece of land on the side, where some seasonal vegetables are planted. At a glance, it seems that there are potatoes, peas, cabbage, spinach...
Xie Lingqin looked at it, his eyes were straightened, and he faced the white-haired old man who was drinking tea on the stool directly in front of him, "Old man, do you want to sell these vegetables?"
The old man was about 60 years old, with strong bones, strong eyebrows and eyes, a little hunchback, very thin hair, bulging veins in his hands, very thin, and both sides of his cheekbones were empty.
Under the moonlight, when I looked at it suddenly, it was really a little scary.
At this time, those deeply sunken eyes were sizing up Xie Lingqin, without any interest.
"Hey, I'm talking about talking, you're not here to buy groceries..." Bai Yu swallowed and reminded in a low voice behind Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin glanced at him, "This dish looks fresh."
"I..." Bai Yu breathed out, "You'd better get the land down first and then think about it."
"These dishes are not for sale." The old man stared at them for a long time, and finally spoke.
Sonorous and powerful.
Yu Luo said again, "What else are you doing here?"
Entering the topic, Xie Lingqin immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Mr. Qi, it's like this. I want your site in the middle of West Street to open a shop. I'm willing to pay 100 taels." Xie Lingqin said with an appropriate tone He is very humble, but his raised little face is full of radiance.
Bai Yu on the side listened to Xie Lingqin's words, her jaw almost dropped in shock, and the corners of her brows twitched violently.
He thought he had some good idea, but in the end, he just looked at the old man straight and said that he wanted his territory.
The most direct difference between this and stealing or robbing is that she just greeted the other party.
Yan She, you are here to be funny.
"Ahem..." Yan She coughed lightly and tugged at Xie Lingqin's sleeve, but Xie Lingqin backed away naturally, "What are you doing?"
"Aren't you a fool, kid?" Bai Yu hesitated, "It's not too humble to beg someone, and it's 100 taels, thank you for being able to say it."
"Just 100 taels, don't worry."
"You..." Bai Yu looked at the sky speechlessly.
But at this time, the old man moved his body, and a terrible hostility was clearly seen in his old, cloudy but unusually powerful eyes.
"Let's go, before I get angry." The old man waved his hand.
Xie Lingqin didn't leave, but took a step forward with a smile on her face, "The old man won't?"
The old man clasped the teacup beside him, and his voice sounded like it was dug out of a deep well, "Son, if you really want to, you can play chess with the old man for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, or you can eat a hundred catties Chili, otherwise, get out."
Facing the old man's anger, Xie Lingqin was unmoved, and there was no sign of frustration on his face. In the next moment, instead, he arched his hands and took another step forward with great sincerity, "Old Master Qi, I am doing this with absolute sincerity." Come on, I don't know how to be polite, so I'll be straightforward."
"Okay, tell me the truth." The old man bent over and stood up, as if he was about to chase someone away, but Xie Lingqin said sincerely, "If you sell that land to me, I guarantee that you can still buy it in the future." Go there at any time, if you go to eat, no matter when, whoever you bring, I will not charge you, and although I can't be your family member, I will definitely send you a gift on festivals or your birthday Congratulations and greetings, if you feel that you are not old, you can still use your residual heat and want to do something, then you will be welcome in my shop as well. If one day, you die, I will follow your wishes You will be buried in glory."
Xie Lingqin's deep and clear voice sounded very clearly in the courtyard.
The old man looked at Xie Lingqin, his eyes narrowed slightly, his lips were parted, and he didn't respond for a long time.
Bai Yu was completely stunned.
Xie Lingqin pursed his lips slightly, and said in a clear voice, "If you are still worried, old man, you can keep a part of that territory, so you can rest assured, of course, even if you keep that part, The promise I just made is equally valid."
The whole small courtyard became silent in an instant, so quiet that it seemed that even the low chirping of grass and insects could not be seen.
Bai Yu swallowed, looking at Xie Lingqin, who was serious and serious, and wondered if this kid's head was squeezed by the door.
The old man didn't speak, just looked at Xie Lingqin with his old eyes.
It's like the eerie calm of a spark before it erupts.
Bai Yu swallowed unconsciously.
Turning her head to look at Xie Lingqin, she was so calm.
After a while, the old man's expression seemed to soften a little, and finally he said, "You really mean what you said?"
"I keep my word, and I can also make a written statement."
"Okay, it's a deal." The old man suddenly patted his seat, his face was full of radiance.
And aside.
Bai Yu's jaw dropped again in shock.
What the hell is this.
In this way, I got the site, and only paid 100 taels.
But, it went so smoothly.
Moreover, as soon as the old man retreated, he had a creepy and cold face when he first saw the two of them, and his smile was so kind that Bai Yu seemed to have seen a ghost.
After setting up the document and leaving with Xie Lingqin, Bai Yu finally couldn't help asking, "I said, Yan She, did you give the old man Qi the ecstasy soup in advance, just 100 taels..." Bai Yu compared his fingers , "It's only 100 taels. Let him come to the store for dinner in the future. You can get such a good location. Moreover, the site there is almost ready-made, so we can just modify it. Ah, this is too unexpected."
Bai Yu's eyebrows were dancing again, and every expression on his jade-like face was full of doubts.
Xie Lingqin pursed her lips, then stepped down to look at him, and said softly, "He is too lonely."
"what?"
"An old man has no children, no relatives and no family members. The reason why people play chess with him for three days and three nights is just an excuse..."
Xie Lingqin paused, and a look of desolation flashed between his brows and eyes, "He just wants to be cared about and not forgotten. Think about it, what's the use of occupying that territory for an old man who is nearly 60 years old? There is no shortage of money, but you would rather grow your own vegetables for a living, why?"
"Lonely?"
"Well, if a person walks in this world, he will be lonely after all." It's like my former self.
However, before this, she didn't quite understand, nor did she figure it out until she heard Bai Yu say that the old man had thought of a new way to let the people who came to the door eat chili, and then she had an epiphany, especially when she saw the old man. All the emotions seem to be embedded in the deep wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.
She is cold and cold, there is absolutely no kindness, compassion, or understanding, but she just feels deeply.
"Many times, learning to give the other party what they desire most is also a means." Xie Lingqin said.
Bai Yu seemed to have realized something, glanced at Xie Lingqin, and frowned, "Speaking of which, I'm curious. Although you are dressed in ordinary clothes, you have extraordinary conversation skills. Which family and who are you from?"
"Aren't I the one who has had a life-threatening friendship with you?" Xie Lingqin put his hands behind his hands, pulled out the topic, and then waved his hands, "The site is settled, I hope you have news as soon as possible, before Thank you for everything you said."
"It's hard work for me, so what are you doing?" Bai Yu was obviously not happy.
"I'm going to find the next source of supply."
"Source?"
"It's okay to contact you before, but there's nothing wrong with making double preparations." Xie Lingqin didn't reply her, and disappeared on the street in a blink of an eye.
Watching the back disappear, Bai Yu folded his hands on his chest and raised his eyebrows, "Well, why do you always feel cold and put me in front of me? I, Bai Yu, is also a descendant of a famous family, please show me some face..."
However, Xie Lingqin, who turned the street, did not go far, but frowned in pain.
Damn, it happened again.
These days, she has been more careful, but she couldn't find the root cause, and the other party obviously didn't intend to poison her, so the attacks became more frequent.
Reaching into his sleeve, he took out a painkiller pill that he stole last time and swallowed it. Only then did Xie Lingqin gasp for breath.
This damn poison, after reading a lot of books these days, plus what she learned in her previous life, finally has some clues.
If the poison is really to be cured, one of the herbs in the antidote and poison must be taken at the same time.
However, the most important medicinal herb among them is not rare, but it is not in the capital, but born in the barbarian land.
The person who poisoned her can be seen to have ulterior motives.
"Yo, young master, alone." Xie Lingqin was breathing smoothly, but saw three tall and burly men walking in front of him.
He smelled of alcohol and his eyes were lustful.
That's right, there is a street ahead of you which is Qingzhitang.
That is to say, in addition to the flower building, it is a place that can provide people with special hobbies.
This can be regarded as one of the riches of Beirong.
"Come on, play with us." A man smiled obscenely, and approached intimately, and immediately raised his hand to hold Xie Lingqin's wrist.
Xie Lingqin's eyes turned cold, and she looked at the man, "Take it away."
She had just taken the medicine, and her strength had not recovered at all, so, apart from her strong eyes, her tone was obviously lacking in energy.
"Yo, the words are quite powerful, but this energy is not great." Not only was the man not afraid, but he smiled at the other two men who were also walking behind him, "This young man is alive with fine white porcelain. It can be interesting." While speaking, the hand holding Xie Lingqin's wrist was still exerting force, force...
At the same time, the other hand was about to touch Xie Lingqin's face, "Oh, this skin looks more supple than a woman's..."
"what."
Suddenly, a scream pierced the night sky.
Earlier, the man who was still holding Xie Lingqin's wrist suddenly stopped smiling, but caressed his crotch in extreme pain, tears streaming down his face.
And the other two men were obviously shocked for a moment, they didn't see how the man who was a head shorter than them in front of him made a move, unexpectedly...
At that moment, the drunkenness in the eyes of the two men subsided a little. After looking at each other, their eyes showed malice, and they waved their sleeves and came towards Xie Lingqin.
"I said, let go." Xie Lingqin's words were like a blade, he spoke, his body moved, and he kicked on the spot, forcing the two tall men to retreat again and again.
"It's quite powerful, let's go together." The two men tugged at the companion who had just been kicked and wanted to rush forward.
"Blood, blood..."
"What." The two men paused, looked for their reputation, and were shocked, only to realize that their companions were not just kicked, but...
When I looked up at Xie Lingqin again, I saw that Xie Lingqin was raising the dagger in his hand, like a demon from hell, smiling at them like a mandala from the other side, "You guys, do you want to try it too?" Give it a try."
This was too weird, a kind of horror that hit people's hearts, and immediately made the backs of the two men soaked in cold sweat.
Some people are like this, just a look, a movement, can make people frightened.
The three men were completely sober at this moment. They glanced at Xie Lingqin and then at their companions. At that moment, the two dragged their companions and ran away.
but……
"Do you want to run away? Do you want to report to the police?" Xie Lingqin sneered.
Dare to take advantage of me.
It's unlucky for these three people to meet her today, how could she let them go out and talk nonsense, and put her in the slightest danger.
So, the next moment, Xie Lingqin, who was standing there, suddenly flew out of the sky.
Knife up and down.
The daggers slashed across the chests of the three men.
With a smear of blood, the three of them fell to the ground at the same time, and they died instantly without even groaning.
But Xie Lingqin's hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
I just exhausted my strength and caused physical discomfort.
Gotta leave asap.
But at this moment, on a tall building not far from here, when a gust of cool wind blows, Yu Qingyi unconsciously looked at the bottom of her steps...and then went up, looking at her chest.
"Mother, it's too clean and tidy, there's no room left." The next second, Yu Qingyi suddenly bluffed, and then, with a sweep of her body, she landed beside Xie Lingqin who had just walked a few steps.
"The eldest lady of the General's Mansion is indeed a woman who does not give way to a man."
Xie Lingqin bit her lip and glanced at him, "If Shizi Yi is free, he can deal with the three corpses just now."
"what?"
"Are you afraid?"
"Is this son afraid?"
"Then you don't deal with it."
Yu Qingyi flicked her temple hair, her peach blossom eyes were full of pride, "You wait." After speaking, she said something to the dark place, and after a while, a figure landed on the ground. "
"It's dealt with."
"Yes."
After Yu Qingyi finished giving orders, she felt that something was wrong, why did he want to help, and when she turned her head to look at Xie Lingqin, she saw that Xie Lingqin had wiped the blood off the dagger, and had already walked several steps away.
"Huh, isn't this... the prince's dagger?" Yu Qingyi looked at the delicate dagger and grabbed Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin struggled hard and strode forward, "The prince gave it to me."
"What? Hey, I said..."
"Could it be that Shizi Yi still wants to compensate me with money." Xie Lingqin was not feeling well and impatient at the moment, and he didn't turn his head when he spoke.
Yu Qingyi...
What's the reason for this woman? Also, this woman only thinks about money all day long, nothing else.
Yu Qingyi was about to call Xie Lingqin to stop, but saw that Xie Lingqin had already stopped and looked forward.
And in front, ten steps away from Xie Lingqin, stood a person.
Such a person, the sense of existence is too strong, the autumn wind is beautiful, the appearance is outstanding, and the aura is strong, even if you want to ignore it, you can't ignore it.
"Wow." Yu Quanyi smiled when he saw the person coming, "I knew that you wouldn't watch me being bullied, and you must have come to help me."
Under the blackness, Yu Wenyao raised his black eyes slightly, and at that moment, the bright moon in the sky seemed not enough to match the Mo Tan Youhua in his eyes.
Taking a light glance at Yu Qingyi, Yu Wenyao withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Xie Lingqin, "Do you want to die?" His tone was so calm that there was no ups and downs.
As if snow had melted from an iceberg, those eyes were shining with evil charm, but they were so cold that there was no warmth at all.
Xie Lingqin's heart skipped a beat.
This prince, why does he seem very angry.
Could it be that someone got angry and looked at her just to vent?
Xie Lingqin was unhappy, there were only two possible options.
First, do not look, hide.
Second, kill him.
Of course, now, she can't do both of these situations, and more importantly, the other party knows that she has been poisoned.
"Then, does the crown prince want to help me detoxify?" Xie Lingqin tried hard to put a smile on his face.
Behind her, Yu Qingyi looked at Xie Lingqin's back, and suddenly felt that this woman was really thick-skinned.
Let Yu Wenyao detoxify her?
Dream big.
"Within three months, if you don't detoxify, you will surely die." Yu Wenyao said calmly.
Xie Lingqin was calmer.
Ah!
She thought that she still had half a year to live.
Never thought, only three months.
"It seems that the prince doesn't want to help me detoxify, so I don't know..."
"If you are Bengong's subordinate, I will probably save you." Yu Wenyao said again.
Xie Lingqin's heart twitched suddenly.
After dealing with this for so long, the prince finally revealed his purpose?
Want to be his minion with her?
No, or rather, exploits.
Now that the world seems to be calm, there are turbulent winds and waves. She should be so stupid and seek refuge with the prince.
"Thank you for your kindness, the prince. Lingqin knows that he is incapable, so it is better not to affect the prince's mood." Xie Lingqin slightly relaxed, then raised his head and left from the other side of the alley.
When passing by the prince, he only felt the pear fragrance was warm, his mind was bright, and his breathing was smooth.
Xie Lingqin suddenly stopped, turned around, and happened to meet the prince's beautiful, delicate, but unusually cold eyes, "Well, thank you for the medicine that the prince put by the window earlier."
The prince didn't respond, but just looked at her for a moment, Xie Lingqin unconsciously felt a little guilty.
Obviously, she didn't do anything, she just didn't want to rely on anyone.
In the previous life, she walked alone, and in this life, she will not be shackled by anyone.
Although she owed the prince a life, it was not a reason for her to sell herself.
As long as all goes well, the antidote will be at your fingertips.
Yu Wenyao turned sideways slightly, looking at the slender figure, there seemed to be a strange flash in his eyes, but there was no wave, and a sneer that seemed to be there was a sneer on the corner of his lips.
"It's the first time I've seen a woman who dares to reject you." Yu Qingyi walked over, and she was quite happy with Xie Lingqin while speaking, "She's quite handsome."
"You were helping her clean up the mess just now." Yu Wenyao's cold words succeeded in stopping the smile on Yu Qingyi's face, and then, this playful and flirtatious Yi Shizi realized belatedly, "Ah, you Didn't you just say that you want to vent your anger for me?"
Yu Wenyao glanced at him coldly, "I agree?"
you……
Of course you didn't say yes.
but……
Yu Qingyi scratched his hair, so after 100 taels, he was cheated again.
Still being pitted by the once unknown Xie Ling, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion.
"However, Mian Hulu, why did you give her the dagger that Seng Yun gave her? That's... okay, then why are you being so kind to her? Is it possible that you finally fell in love with the secret in her hand."
Yu Wenyao's eyes suddenly flicked to the distance, deep and far away, cold and evil, as if looking at the world with disdain, and everything is in hand.
Yu Qingyi's pupils shrank involuntarily, hearing Yu Wenyao's extremely icy voice.
"Compared with the secrets in her hands, don't you think she is more useful?"
Yu Qingyi's body trembled, and when she touched the light in Yu Wenyao's eyes, she instantly understood.
Just now, with regard to Xie Lingqin's neat killing technique without any unnecessary movements, let alone a rich lady, just listening to the wind, listening to the rain, listening to the sea, if they don't use their internal strength and lightness kung fu, can they do it?
Moreover, that method, in fact, was too ruthless, so ruthless that it was a little frightening.
Of course, what Yu Qingyi was more concerned about was that he originally thought that Yu Wenyao's previous support for Xie Lingqin might have other intentions, but now he looks at his tone and eyes.
It's really just that he wants to use Xie Lingqin.
However, isn't Yu Wenyao always like this, hey!
"However..." Yu Qingyi said again, "Tell me, why is this young lady of the General's Mansion so different from the one in the previous rumors? After all these days, I haven't found Xu, it's because she has been hiding it well. Still..." Yu Qingyi's tone deepened, "Still, she..."
"It's normal for a person to experience some changes through life and death." Yu Wenyao wrote down a sentence lightly, and the next moment, he disappeared in place.
"My lord, the corpse has been disposed of." At this time, the guard who was ordered by Yu Qingyi to dispose of the corpse came forward to report, and it seemed that he still had something to say.
Yu Qingyi waved her hand graciously, "Let's talk."
"My lord, ending the three of them with this knife is a bit staggering."
"Well, I'm quite tongue-tied too." Yu Qingyi nodded her eyebrows, "Let's go back to the palace."
"By the way, son, today, the concubine brought more than a dozen paintings to the study room, and said... I want you to choose them as soon as possible." The guard's voice also lowered under Yu Qingyi's darkening eyes. .
"Didn't I tell my mother that she already understood?"
"It seems to be that the crown prince said something yesterday, saying that the prince has been particularly... idle recently."
"Ah... is this boring gourd my friend?"
In the vast world, Yu Wenyao swept across the eaves of high-rise buildings like the wind, but the light in his eyes moved faintly.
Xie Lingqin, I want to see how much you are worth.
……
Of course Lingqin didn't know what happened behind him.
Back at Qingshui Pavilion, Zihe saw that Xie Lingqin's complexion was pale, and there was a little blood on his sleeves, so he hurried forward, "Miss, but what happened?"
"It's okay, I just ran into a few bad guys when the poison broke out." Xie Lingqin said lightly and flatly.
Zihe's face tightened, "Then the other party..."
"Don't worry, I was slaughtered, and I also met Yi Shizi, so I helped deal with it."
"Uh..." Xie Lingqin didn't think there was anything to be said, but Zihe was shocked and surprised.
solved?
Isn't Yi Shizi helping to deal with it?
Naturally, Zihe already knew from Xie Lingqin that Xie Lingqin was poisoned in his body.
Even if she didn't say it, she would have been able to guess it after helping Xie Lingqin secretly brew medicine after such a long time.
"Well, speaking of it, there is also your former master." Xie Lingqin hesitated for a moment, then said again.
"The prince is here? Then..."
"It seems that he wants to take care of me."
"Baobaobao... I will support you." No matter how introverted and calm Zihe was, he couldn't help but stuttered in surprise at this time.
The word nurturing is too direct, so she understood it instantly.
"Miss, are you sure you met the prince?" Zihe couldn't believe it.
"Don't look at me with that suspicious look, I once again seriously suspect that your former master is a pervert." Although Xie Lingqin's tone was the same as usual, Zihe could not help but hear Xie Lingqin's dissatisfaction.
"Uh, that..."
They have never seen through the prince, so...
Xie Lingqin prayed in her heart, hoping that the prince would not know about her going to open a shop.
Of course, if you know, don't cause damage, she is also Amituo Buddha, otherwise, she doesn't mind sneaking into the prince's mansion and destroying him first.
……
It was late at night and people were very quiet.
Yunting courtyard.
Xie Lingyu drove all the maids away, then got up from the couch, stood in front of the carved prisms and looked at herself in the mirrors under the faint moonlight in the room.
The delicate little face, the lustrous skin, everything seems to be the same as before, and everything seems to be more beautiful than before.
However, only she knows that her face...
In the next moment, Xie Lingyu's eyes were suddenly scarlet, and his face was distorted and ferocious.
It doesn't matter, it will be fine, as long as you find a suitable human skin...
And Xie Lingqin's face seemed to suit her well.
……
Xie Lingqin, who was sleeping, had that heartbreaking dream again, but still couldn't see the face clearly.
When I woke up the next day, my forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
When touched by the tentacles, the quilt was wet, which showed how unsteadily she slept that night.
Zihe fetched water and came in, seeing Xie Lingqin's pale face, his face tightened, and he walked over a few steps, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Xie Lingqin waved his hands, put on his outer shirt and got up from the couch, and asked Zihe to wash the quilt before going to the inner room to wash.
However, as soon as Zihe walked towards the bed, he saw a shadow flashing in front of him, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be the young lady who had just entered the inner room.
"Miss……"
"When was this quilt changed?" Xie Lingqin looked at Zihe with serious eyes.
After all, Zihe has been with Xie Lingqin for a long time, knowing that the lady will not be aimless, and must have doubts, so he said immediately, "Miss Hui, didn't the Qingfeng Pavilion catch fire before that, the quilt and a bed quilt They were all damaged, so they were removed, and after that, they were taken out of the cabinet and replaced with new ones."
Zihe Road, although she hadn't come at that time, she still wanted to inquire about this trivial matter.
Xie Lingqin suddenly understood what Zihe said.
That's right, she checked everything inside and out of the room before, but she didn't check the quilt that had been removed.
What if the person in the dark put the poison right in the quilt?
It was so hidden that she couldn't detect it for a while.
Xie Lingqin looked at Zihe again, "How often do I change my quilt?"
"Ms. Hui, I usually wash it once every half a month. If the lady has no other orders, I basically follow this principle."
Half a month?
"Go and ask, if the quilt can still be found so far, by the way, I will find out who washes the quilt for me, and be careful not to startle the snake."
Zihe immediately said yes and backed away.
Xie Lingqin sat on the couch, her eyebrows became serious.
If it is more than half a month to change and wash.
Could it be that the person who poisoned secretly took advantage of the time when the quilt was changed and washed, and if the speed was controlled well, the antidote would also be put down at this time.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and rubbed between her eyebrows.
It's really secret.
The General's Mansion is already a swamp of mixed feet, and she is really surrounded by all directions, not to mention, the poisoner is still in the dark.
After Xie Lingqin finished washing, Zihe had already walked over, looked at Xie Lingqin, and lowered his head, "Miss asked, the quilt has been destroyed long ago, but it is the laundry that often washes your quilt." The old lady in the room, I observed secretly, there is nothing special about that old lady, but... what's wrong with that quilt?"
Xie Lingqin glanced at her and did not hide it, "I suspect that my previous poisoning was related to that quilt."
"This?" Zihe covered his lips.
"However, it doesn't matter if the quilt is gone. As long as I don't die for a day, people in the dark won't be able to sit still, so..." Xie Lingqin's eyes turned sharp, and the corners of his lips were filled with coldness, "So, I must live alive Alright, the person who hurt me won't die, and I can't die."
So, isn't it a place where barbarians are fierce and fierce, she will always have a way to get the medicine.
She didn't believe that she would really be controlled by others in her new life.
Zihe couldn't help being chilled by Xie Lingqin's sudden coldness, and subconsciously pursed his lips.
"After breakfast in a while, take me to see that nanny." Xie Lingqin ordered again.
Zihe nodded, knowing that it was not simple.
The breakfast was served with giant clams.
White porridge, clear vegetables, and a bowl of mushy soup. It doesn't look like a ghost, but the taste is very tempting.
Before, Xie Lingqin had ordered Tridacna to help Zihe with some things, which was also a disguised promotion and reuse of her.
"This is..." Xie Lingqin didn't speak, but Zihe pointed at the dark soup and said in surprise.
Look at the color, I almost didn't ask if it was overcooked.
However, Tridacna's small face was shining brightly, looking at Zihe, "Sister Zihe, this is a kind of soup at my house. Eating it can strengthen your body. It is best to drink a bowl in the morning on an empty stomach, servant girl." Thinking, didn't the lady catch the wind and cold before, and the body is also very thin, so I boiled this soup."
As Tridacna spoke, her eyes sparkled, as if this was such a great event.
Xie Lingqin looked at her, but raised his eyebrows slightly, walked over, took a look at the bowl, smelled it, and after a while, met Tridacna's expectant eyes, and said, "Is there papaya in it?"
"Yes." Tridacna nodded hurriedly, "As the old saying goes, it also has the effect of breast enlargement."
"Oh." Xie Lingqin raised his eyebrows, "I like this." After saying that, he immediately touched his mouth and drank it down.
Zihe on the side couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
Miss is not afraid of being poisonous.
In the end, this maid named Tridacna still has some strange things that I can't explain.
Tridacna watched Xie Lingqin finish his drink, but was extremely happy, her whole pretty face seemed to be able to bloom into big flowers, and she smiled very brightly, "Miss likes that I will do it for you next time."
"it is good."
After finishing the porridge and vegetables, Xie Lingqin asked Zihe to take her to the laundry room secretly.
The laundry room in the General's Mansion is not too big. There is a small courtyard alone, which is just a place to wash clothes for all the masters in the General's Mansion.
After watching the nanny secretly for a while, Xie Lingqin returned disappointed.
It was obvious that the nanny really didn't know anything.
"Miss, it's okay. Since the other party wants to poison you to death, there must be another trick. The servants must be more careful in what they do in the future."
"En." Xie Lingqin nodded, but thoughtful in her heart.
She was thinking about another question, since the poison was from a barbarian, could the person who poisoned her come from a barbarian?
If so.
Then this matter is complicated.
After all, back then, her mother defeated the barbarians, and because of this, the barbarians had to pay tribute to Beirong in recent years.
If someone takes revenge...
It's just that revenge is okay, but I'm afraid, there is a deeper purpose before and after it.
"Slaves send greetings to the eldest lady."
The two masters and servants were walking, and a maid in front of them bowed slightly.
Xie Lingqin was about to wave his hand, his eyes fixed.
It was wonderful.
The dead Nanny Yang's daughter is now serving in Xie Danling's yard.
Speaking of which, Xie Danling did not return home these few days.
"Go back."
Xie Lingqin glanced at Miaoqiao, and walked forward with Zihe.
Miaoqiao bowed politely again, and then retreated.
"Miss, the servant has checked, Liu Ma has already told Miao Qiao that Madam Yang was poisoned by Second Aunt, but looking at Miao Qiao, she doesn't seem to have any special reaction."
Xie Lingqin's eyes turned slightly on his cold face, "People's hearts are the most unpredictable thing in this world."
When he returned to Qingfeng Pavilion, it was still early and he still had things to do, Xie Lingqin changed into men's clothes and let Zihe take care of him, and left the mansion again.
Zihe is now accustomed to seeing Xie Lingqin disguised as a man to go out of the house, but this time he finally asked a question, "Miss, can you take the servants?"
The young lady shook her head gently, "No."
Zihe was helpless.
……
After Xie Lingqin left the General's Mansion, he went to the deserted mountain wave that he had found before, and ran around the mountainside for more than an hour before he packed himself up and went to look for Baiyu.
Bai Yu seemed to expect her to come.
"It's just in time. Here, here is the list I arranged. Look, how do you like it?" Bai Yu brought over a piece of paper full of shop names.
On it were the suppliers that Xie Lingqin had told him before, and there were also Baiyu's own investigations to find them.
Xie Lingqin took a look and smiled, "I can rest assured that you can do things. Well, I want to see the kitchen master and accountant you are looking for."
"Master chef, you can rest assured that he is an old servant of my Bai family, but this accountant..." Bai Yu sighed, "I didn't find a suitable one."
"why?"
"If you don't tell me what you sell in this shop, they don't know why it's sold. As soon as they heard that it was opened opposite the Jinhua Restaurant, they stopped taking it over immediately, and they didn't want to pay any money."
"Oh, it seems that Jinhua Restaurant has a lot of background."
"The one that can be opened there, can it be smaller?" Bai Yu shrugged, "Why don't you go out and ask for it."
"No." Xie Lingqin shook his head, "I don't have the guts at all, and I don't deserve to be my accountant. I'll think about it again. By the way, the store has started to be renovated?"
Bai Yu's eyebrows jumped, "No problem, according to the picture you gave, it went smoothly. I thought the master couldn't understand that picture. I never thought about it. He said it was simple, and said that the person who made this picture is really a master." .”
In the last sentence, Bai Yu was somewhat unhappy.
Xie Lingqin was noncommittal, but said, "So, never underestimate craftsmen, and be generous when you settle the money."
"I'll go, Yanshe, your cage is only 1 taels, and you've already gone to 100 taels."
"It's okay, didn't you steal a few hundred taels from Fuyue Gambling Shop before, and I put it in the bank account. If there is not enough, I will bring it back."
"Hundreds of taels..." Bai Yu gave Xie Lingqin a glance, "How dare you say that."
Xie Lingqin rubbed her nose. Anyway, she didn't have a penny that was justified.
right.
"I'll go to Mr. Qi's place to have a look. Do yourself a favor, Boss Bai." Xie Lingqin said, fisted with both hands, and left.
Bai Yuhen glanced at Xie Lingqin's back, "Hmph, you know how to order me around, the key is why I am willing, yes, half of me is involved..."
"Brother, what are you talking about here, brother Yanshe?" Behind him, Bai Ling came up with the cake and asked, pulling at Bai Yu's sleeve.
Bai Yu glanced at her, "Let's go, just because I'm a little bit..." As he said that, he was about to go to get the snacks on the plate, but Bai Ling took a big step back, and pouted, "This is what I gave Yan the shot." Brother prepared."
"Why are you so nice to him? I'm your brother."
Bai Ling curled his lips, his face turned red, "Because you didn't say that brother is good-looking."
white jade...
Depressed death!
……
Old Qi's courtyard is still the same as that day, but the last time I came here was at night, and this time I came here during the day. The vermilion and embroidered gate does not look so old.
After knocking on the door lightly, old Qi's voice came from inside.
Xie Lingqin pushed the door and entered, and had a panoramic view of everything in the small courtyard.
However, today, Qi Lao is not the only one.
Elder Qi is playing chess with someone, and that person...
Xie Lingqin's eyes narrowed inadvertently.
Hehe, this is... a coincidence?
Thank you girls for your support~Xinzhi will work hard to make more updates~
(End of this chapter)
The yard is not big, and it's quite bleak. There is only one piece of land on the side, where some seasonal vegetables are planted. At a glance, it seems that there are potatoes, peas, cabbage, spinach...
Xie Lingqin looked at it, his eyes were straightened, and he faced the white-haired old man who was drinking tea on the stool directly in front of him, "Old man, do you want to sell these vegetables?"
The old man was about 60 years old, with strong bones, strong eyebrows and eyes, a little hunchback, very thin hair, bulging veins in his hands, very thin, and both sides of his cheekbones were empty.
Under the moonlight, when I looked at it suddenly, it was really a little scary.
At this time, those deeply sunken eyes were sizing up Xie Lingqin, without any interest.
"Hey, I'm talking about talking, you're not here to buy groceries..." Bai Yu swallowed and reminded in a low voice behind Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin glanced at him, "This dish looks fresh."
"I..." Bai Yu breathed out, "You'd better get the land down first and then think about it."
"These dishes are not for sale." The old man stared at them for a long time, and finally spoke.
Sonorous and powerful.
Yu Luo said again, "What else are you doing here?"
Entering the topic, Xie Lingqin immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Mr. Qi, it's like this. I want your site in the middle of West Street to open a shop. I'm willing to pay 100 taels." Xie Lingqin said with an appropriate tone He is very humble, but his raised little face is full of radiance.
Bai Yu on the side listened to Xie Lingqin's words, her jaw almost dropped in shock, and the corners of her brows twitched violently.
He thought he had some good idea, but in the end, he just looked at the old man straight and said that he wanted his territory.
The most direct difference between this and stealing or robbing is that she just greeted the other party.
Yan She, you are here to be funny.
"Ahem..." Yan She coughed lightly and tugged at Xie Lingqin's sleeve, but Xie Lingqin backed away naturally, "What are you doing?"
"Aren't you a fool, kid?" Bai Yu hesitated, "It's not too humble to beg someone, and it's 100 taels, thank you for being able to say it."
"Just 100 taels, don't worry."
"You..." Bai Yu looked at the sky speechlessly.
But at this time, the old man moved his body, and a terrible hostility was clearly seen in his old, cloudy but unusually powerful eyes.
"Let's go, before I get angry." The old man waved his hand.
Xie Lingqin didn't leave, but took a step forward with a smile on her face, "The old man won't?"
The old man clasped the teacup beside him, and his voice sounded like it was dug out of a deep well, "Son, if you really want to, you can play chess with the old man for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, or you can eat a hundred catties Chili, otherwise, get out."
Facing the old man's anger, Xie Lingqin was unmoved, and there was no sign of frustration on his face. In the next moment, instead, he arched his hands and took another step forward with great sincerity, "Old Master Qi, I am doing this with absolute sincerity." Come on, I don't know how to be polite, so I'll be straightforward."
"Okay, tell me the truth." The old man bent over and stood up, as if he was about to chase someone away, but Xie Lingqin said sincerely, "If you sell that land to me, I guarantee that you can still buy it in the future." Go there at any time, if you go to eat, no matter when, whoever you bring, I will not charge you, and although I can't be your family member, I will definitely send you a gift on festivals or your birthday Congratulations and greetings, if you feel that you are not old, you can still use your residual heat and want to do something, then you will be welcome in my shop as well. If one day, you die, I will follow your wishes You will be buried in glory."
Xie Lingqin's deep and clear voice sounded very clearly in the courtyard.
The old man looked at Xie Lingqin, his eyes narrowed slightly, his lips were parted, and he didn't respond for a long time.
Bai Yu was completely stunned.
Xie Lingqin pursed his lips slightly, and said in a clear voice, "If you are still worried, old man, you can keep a part of that territory, so you can rest assured, of course, even if you keep that part, The promise I just made is equally valid."
The whole small courtyard became silent in an instant, so quiet that it seemed that even the low chirping of grass and insects could not be seen.
Bai Yu swallowed, looking at Xie Lingqin, who was serious and serious, and wondered if this kid's head was squeezed by the door.
The old man didn't speak, just looked at Xie Lingqin with his old eyes.
It's like the eerie calm of a spark before it erupts.
Bai Yu swallowed unconsciously.
Turning her head to look at Xie Lingqin, she was so calm.
After a while, the old man's expression seemed to soften a little, and finally he said, "You really mean what you said?"
"I keep my word, and I can also make a written statement."
"Okay, it's a deal." The old man suddenly patted his seat, his face was full of radiance.
And aside.
Bai Yu's jaw dropped again in shock.
What the hell is this.
In this way, I got the site, and only paid 100 taels.
But, it went so smoothly.
Moreover, as soon as the old man retreated, he had a creepy and cold face when he first saw the two of them, and his smile was so kind that Bai Yu seemed to have seen a ghost.
After setting up the document and leaving with Xie Lingqin, Bai Yu finally couldn't help asking, "I said, Yan She, did you give the old man Qi the ecstasy soup in advance, just 100 taels..." Bai Yu compared his fingers , "It's only 100 taels. Let him come to the store for dinner in the future. You can get such a good location. Moreover, the site there is almost ready-made, so we can just modify it. Ah, this is too unexpected."
Bai Yu's eyebrows were dancing again, and every expression on his jade-like face was full of doubts.
Xie Lingqin pursed her lips, then stepped down to look at him, and said softly, "He is too lonely."
"what?"
"An old man has no children, no relatives and no family members. The reason why people play chess with him for three days and three nights is just an excuse..."
Xie Lingqin paused, and a look of desolation flashed between his brows and eyes, "He just wants to be cared about and not forgotten. Think about it, what's the use of occupying that territory for an old man who is nearly 60 years old? There is no shortage of money, but you would rather grow your own vegetables for a living, why?"
"Lonely?"
"Well, if a person walks in this world, he will be lonely after all." It's like my former self.
However, before this, she didn't quite understand, nor did she figure it out until she heard Bai Yu say that the old man had thought of a new way to let the people who came to the door eat chili, and then she had an epiphany, especially when she saw the old man. All the emotions seem to be embedded in the deep wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.
She is cold and cold, there is absolutely no kindness, compassion, or understanding, but she just feels deeply.
"Many times, learning to give the other party what they desire most is also a means." Xie Lingqin said.
Bai Yu seemed to have realized something, glanced at Xie Lingqin, and frowned, "Speaking of which, I'm curious. Although you are dressed in ordinary clothes, you have extraordinary conversation skills. Which family and who are you from?"
"Aren't I the one who has had a life-threatening friendship with you?" Xie Lingqin put his hands behind his hands, pulled out the topic, and then waved his hands, "The site is settled, I hope you have news as soon as possible, before Thank you for everything you said."
"It's hard work for me, so what are you doing?" Bai Yu was obviously not happy.
"I'm going to find the next source of supply."
"Source?"
"It's okay to contact you before, but there's nothing wrong with making double preparations." Xie Lingqin didn't reply her, and disappeared on the street in a blink of an eye.
Watching the back disappear, Bai Yu folded his hands on his chest and raised his eyebrows, "Well, why do you always feel cold and put me in front of me? I, Bai Yu, is also a descendant of a famous family, please show me some face..."
However, Xie Lingqin, who turned the street, did not go far, but frowned in pain.
Damn, it happened again.
These days, she has been more careful, but she couldn't find the root cause, and the other party obviously didn't intend to poison her, so the attacks became more frequent.
Reaching into his sleeve, he took out a painkiller pill that he stole last time and swallowed it. Only then did Xie Lingqin gasp for breath.
This damn poison, after reading a lot of books these days, plus what she learned in her previous life, finally has some clues.
If the poison is really to be cured, one of the herbs in the antidote and poison must be taken at the same time.
However, the most important medicinal herb among them is not rare, but it is not in the capital, but born in the barbarian land.
The person who poisoned her can be seen to have ulterior motives.
"Yo, young master, alone." Xie Lingqin was breathing smoothly, but saw three tall and burly men walking in front of him.
He smelled of alcohol and his eyes were lustful.
That's right, there is a street ahead of you which is Qingzhitang.
That is to say, in addition to the flower building, it is a place that can provide people with special hobbies.
This can be regarded as one of the riches of Beirong.
"Come on, play with us." A man smiled obscenely, and approached intimately, and immediately raised his hand to hold Xie Lingqin's wrist.
Xie Lingqin's eyes turned cold, and she looked at the man, "Take it away."
She had just taken the medicine, and her strength had not recovered at all, so, apart from her strong eyes, her tone was obviously lacking in energy.
"Yo, the words are quite powerful, but this energy is not great." Not only was the man not afraid, but he smiled at the other two men who were also walking behind him, "This young man is alive with fine white porcelain. It can be interesting." While speaking, the hand holding Xie Lingqin's wrist was still exerting force, force...
At the same time, the other hand was about to touch Xie Lingqin's face, "Oh, this skin looks more supple than a woman's..."
"what."
Suddenly, a scream pierced the night sky.
Earlier, the man who was still holding Xie Lingqin's wrist suddenly stopped smiling, but caressed his crotch in extreme pain, tears streaming down his face.
And the other two men were obviously shocked for a moment, they didn't see how the man who was a head shorter than them in front of him made a move, unexpectedly...
At that moment, the drunkenness in the eyes of the two men subsided a little. After looking at each other, their eyes showed malice, and they waved their sleeves and came towards Xie Lingqin.
"I said, let go." Xie Lingqin's words were like a blade, he spoke, his body moved, and he kicked on the spot, forcing the two tall men to retreat again and again.
"It's quite powerful, let's go together." The two men tugged at the companion who had just been kicked and wanted to rush forward.
"Blood, blood..."
"What." The two men paused, looked for their reputation, and were shocked, only to realize that their companions were not just kicked, but...
When I looked up at Xie Lingqin again, I saw that Xie Lingqin was raising the dagger in his hand, like a demon from hell, smiling at them like a mandala from the other side, "You guys, do you want to try it too?" Give it a try."
This was too weird, a kind of horror that hit people's hearts, and immediately made the backs of the two men soaked in cold sweat.
Some people are like this, just a look, a movement, can make people frightened.
The three men were completely sober at this moment. They glanced at Xie Lingqin and then at their companions. At that moment, the two dragged their companions and ran away.
but……
"Do you want to run away? Do you want to report to the police?" Xie Lingqin sneered.
Dare to take advantage of me.
It's unlucky for these three people to meet her today, how could she let them go out and talk nonsense, and put her in the slightest danger.
So, the next moment, Xie Lingqin, who was standing there, suddenly flew out of the sky.
Knife up and down.
The daggers slashed across the chests of the three men.
With a smear of blood, the three of them fell to the ground at the same time, and they died instantly without even groaning.
But Xie Lingqin's hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
I just exhausted my strength and caused physical discomfort.
Gotta leave asap.
But at this moment, on a tall building not far from here, when a gust of cool wind blows, Yu Qingyi unconsciously looked at the bottom of her steps...and then went up, looking at her chest.
"Mother, it's too clean and tidy, there's no room left." The next second, Yu Qingyi suddenly bluffed, and then, with a sweep of her body, she landed beside Xie Lingqin who had just walked a few steps.
"The eldest lady of the General's Mansion is indeed a woman who does not give way to a man."
Xie Lingqin bit her lip and glanced at him, "If Shizi Yi is free, he can deal with the three corpses just now."
"what?"
"Are you afraid?"
"Is this son afraid?"
"Then you don't deal with it."
Yu Qingyi flicked her temple hair, her peach blossom eyes were full of pride, "You wait." After speaking, she said something to the dark place, and after a while, a figure landed on the ground. "
"It's dealt with."
"Yes."
After Yu Qingyi finished giving orders, she felt that something was wrong, why did he want to help, and when she turned her head to look at Xie Lingqin, she saw that Xie Lingqin had wiped the blood off the dagger, and had already walked several steps away.
"Huh, isn't this... the prince's dagger?" Yu Qingyi looked at the delicate dagger and grabbed Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin struggled hard and strode forward, "The prince gave it to me."
"What? Hey, I said..."
"Could it be that Shizi Yi still wants to compensate me with money." Xie Lingqin was not feeling well and impatient at the moment, and he didn't turn his head when he spoke.
Yu Qingyi...
What's the reason for this woman? Also, this woman only thinks about money all day long, nothing else.
Yu Qingyi was about to call Xie Lingqin to stop, but saw that Xie Lingqin had already stopped and looked forward.
And in front, ten steps away from Xie Lingqin, stood a person.
Such a person, the sense of existence is too strong, the autumn wind is beautiful, the appearance is outstanding, and the aura is strong, even if you want to ignore it, you can't ignore it.
"Wow." Yu Quanyi smiled when he saw the person coming, "I knew that you wouldn't watch me being bullied, and you must have come to help me."
Under the blackness, Yu Wenyao raised his black eyes slightly, and at that moment, the bright moon in the sky seemed not enough to match the Mo Tan Youhua in his eyes.
Taking a light glance at Yu Qingyi, Yu Wenyao withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Xie Lingqin, "Do you want to die?" His tone was so calm that there was no ups and downs.
As if snow had melted from an iceberg, those eyes were shining with evil charm, but they were so cold that there was no warmth at all.
Xie Lingqin's heart skipped a beat.
This prince, why does he seem very angry.
Could it be that someone got angry and looked at her just to vent?
Xie Lingqin was unhappy, there were only two possible options.
First, do not look, hide.
Second, kill him.
Of course, now, she can't do both of these situations, and more importantly, the other party knows that she has been poisoned.
"Then, does the crown prince want to help me detoxify?" Xie Lingqin tried hard to put a smile on his face.
Behind her, Yu Qingyi looked at Xie Lingqin's back, and suddenly felt that this woman was really thick-skinned.
Let Yu Wenyao detoxify her?
Dream big.
"Within three months, if you don't detoxify, you will surely die." Yu Wenyao said calmly.
Xie Lingqin was calmer.
Ah!
She thought that she still had half a year to live.
Never thought, only three months.
"It seems that the prince doesn't want to help me detoxify, so I don't know..."
"If you are Bengong's subordinate, I will probably save you." Yu Wenyao said again.
Xie Lingqin's heart twitched suddenly.
After dealing with this for so long, the prince finally revealed his purpose?
Want to be his minion with her?
No, or rather, exploits.
Now that the world seems to be calm, there are turbulent winds and waves. She should be so stupid and seek refuge with the prince.
"Thank you for your kindness, the prince. Lingqin knows that he is incapable, so it is better not to affect the prince's mood." Xie Lingqin slightly relaxed, then raised his head and left from the other side of the alley.
When passing by the prince, he only felt the pear fragrance was warm, his mind was bright, and his breathing was smooth.
Xie Lingqin suddenly stopped, turned around, and happened to meet the prince's beautiful, delicate, but unusually cold eyes, "Well, thank you for the medicine that the prince put by the window earlier."
The prince didn't respond, but just looked at her for a moment, Xie Lingqin unconsciously felt a little guilty.
Obviously, she didn't do anything, she just didn't want to rely on anyone.
In the previous life, she walked alone, and in this life, she will not be shackled by anyone.
Although she owed the prince a life, it was not a reason for her to sell herself.
As long as all goes well, the antidote will be at your fingertips.
Yu Wenyao turned sideways slightly, looking at the slender figure, there seemed to be a strange flash in his eyes, but there was no wave, and a sneer that seemed to be there was a sneer on the corner of his lips.
"It's the first time I've seen a woman who dares to reject you." Yu Qingyi walked over, and she was quite happy with Xie Lingqin while speaking, "She's quite handsome."
"You were helping her clean up the mess just now." Yu Wenyao's cold words succeeded in stopping the smile on Yu Qingyi's face, and then, this playful and flirtatious Yi Shizi realized belatedly, "Ah, you Didn't you just say that you want to vent your anger for me?"
Yu Wenyao glanced at him coldly, "I agree?"
you……
Of course you didn't say yes.
but……
Yu Qingyi scratched his hair, so after 100 taels, he was cheated again.
Still being pitted by the once unknown Xie Ling, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion.
"However, Mian Hulu, why did you give her the dagger that Seng Yun gave her? That's... okay, then why are you being so kind to her? Is it possible that you finally fell in love with the secret in her hand."
Yu Wenyao's eyes suddenly flicked to the distance, deep and far away, cold and evil, as if looking at the world with disdain, and everything is in hand.
Yu Qingyi's pupils shrank involuntarily, hearing Yu Wenyao's extremely icy voice.
"Compared with the secrets in her hands, don't you think she is more useful?"
Yu Qingyi's body trembled, and when she touched the light in Yu Wenyao's eyes, she instantly understood.
Just now, with regard to Xie Lingqin's neat killing technique without any unnecessary movements, let alone a rich lady, just listening to the wind, listening to the rain, listening to the sea, if they don't use their internal strength and lightness kung fu, can they do it?
Moreover, that method, in fact, was too ruthless, so ruthless that it was a little frightening.
Of course, what Yu Qingyi was more concerned about was that he originally thought that Yu Wenyao's previous support for Xie Lingqin might have other intentions, but now he looks at his tone and eyes.
It's really just that he wants to use Xie Lingqin.
However, isn't Yu Wenyao always like this, hey!
"However..." Yu Qingyi said again, "Tell me, why is this young lady of the General's Mansion so different from the one in the previous rumors? After all these days, I haven't found Xu, it's because she has been hiding it well. Still..." Yu Qingyi's tone deepened, "Still, she..."
"It's normal for a person to experience some changes through life and death." Yu Wenyao wrote down a sentence lightly, and the next moment, he disappeared in place.
"My lord, the corpse has been disposed of." At this time, the guard who was ordered by Yu Qingyi to dispose of the corpse came forward to report, and it seemed that he still had something to say.
Yu Qingyi waved her hand graciously, "Let's talk."
"My lord, ending the three of them with this knife is a bit staggering."
"Well, I'm quite tongue-tied too." Yu Qingyi nodded her eyebrows, "Let's go back to the palace."
"By the way, son, today, the concubine brought more than a dozen paintings to the study room, and said... I want you to choose them as soon as possible." The guard's voice also lowered under Yu Qingyi's darkening eyes. .
"Didn't I tell my mother that she already understood?"
"It seems to be that the crown prince said something yesterday, saying that the prince has been particularly... idle recently."
"Ah... is this boring gourd my friend?"
In the vast world, Yu Wenyao swept across the eaves of high-rise buildings like the wind, but the light in his eyes moved faintly.
Xie Lingqin, I want to see how much you are worth.
……
Of course Lingqin didn't know what happened behind him.
Back at Qingshui Pavilion, Zihe saw that Xie Lingqin's complexion was pale, and there was a little blood on his sleeves, so he hurried forward, "Miss, but what happened?"
"It's okay, I just ran into a few bad guys when the poison broke out." Xie Lingqin said lightly and flatly.
Zihe's face tightened, "Then the other party..."
"Don't worry, I was slaughtered, and I also met Yi Shizi, so I helped deal with it."
"Uh..." Xie Lingqin didn't think there was anything to be said, but Zihe was shocked and surprised.
solved?
Isn't Yi Shizi helping to deal with it?
Naturally, Zihe already knew from Xie Lingqin that Xie Lingqin was poisoned in his body.
Even if she didn't say it, she would have been able to guess it after helping Xie Lingqin secretly brew medicine after such a long time.
"Well, speaking of it, there is also your former master." Xie Lingqin hesitated for a moment, then said again.
"The prince is here? Then..."
"It seems that he wants to take care of me."
"Baobaobao... I will support you." No matter how introverted and calm Zihe was, he couldn't help but stuttered in surprise at this time.
The word nurturing is too direct, so she understood it instantly.
"Miss, are you sure you met the prince?" Zihe couldn't believe it.
"Don't look at me with that suspicious look, I once again seriously suspect that your former master is a pervert." Although Xie Lingqin's tone was the same as usual, Zihe could not help but hear Xie Lingqin's dissatisfaction.
"Uh, that..."
They have never seen through the prince, so...
Xie Lingqin prayed in her heart, hoping that the prince would not know about her going to open a shop.
Of course, if you know, don't cause damage, she is also Amituo Buddha, otherwise, she doesn't mind sneaking into the prince's mansion and destroying him first.
……
It was late at night and people were very quiet.
Yunting courtyard.
Xie Lingyu drove all the maids away, then got up from the couch, stood in front of the carved prisms and looked at herself in the mirrors under the faint moonlight in the room.
The delicate little face, the lustrous skin, everything seems to be the same as before, and everything seems to be more beautiful than before.
However, only she knows that her face...
In the next moment, Xie Lingyu's eyes were suddenly scarlet, and his face was distorted and ferocious.
It doesn't matter, it will be fine, as long as you find a suitable human skin...
And Xie Lingqin's face seemed to suit her well.
……
Xie Lingqin, who was sleeping, had that heartbreaking dream again, but still couldn't see the face clearly.
When I woke up the next day, my forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
When touched by the tentacles, the quilt was wet, which showed how unsteadily she slept that night.
Zihe fetched water and came in, seeing Xie Lingqin's pale face, his face tightened, and he walked over a few steps, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Xie Lingqin waved his hands, put on his outer shirt and got up from the couch, and asked Zihe to wash the quilt before going to the inner room to wash.
However, as soon as Zihe walked towards the bed, he saw a shadow flashing in front of him, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be the young lady who had just entered the inner room.
"Miss……"
"When was this quilt changed?" Xie Lingqin looked at Zihe with serious eyes.
After all, Zihe has been with Xie Lingqin for a long time, knowing that the lady will not be aimless, and must have doubts, so he said immediately, "Miss Hui, didn't the Qingfeng Pavilion catch fire before that, the quilt and a bed quilt They were all damaged, so they were removed, and after that, they were taken out of the cabinet and replaced with new ones."
Zihe Road, although she hadn't come at that time, she still wanted to inquire about this trivial matter.
Xie Lingqin suddenly understood what Zihe said.
That's right, she checked everything inside and out of the room before, but she didn't check the quilt that had been removed.
What if the person in the dark put the poison right in the quilt?
It was so hidden that she couldn't detect it for a while.
Xie Lingqin looked at Zihe again, "How often do I change my quilt?"
"Ms. Hui, I usually wash it once every half a month. If the lady has no other orders, I basically follow this principle."
Half a month?
"Go and ask, if the quilt can still be found so far, by the way, I will find out who washes the quilt for me, and be careful not to startle the snake."
Zihe immediately said yes and backed away.
Xie Lingqin sat on the couch, her eyebrows became serious.
If it is more than half a month to change and wash.
Could it be that the person who poisoned secretly took advantage of the time when the quilt was changed and washed, and if the speed was controlled well, the antidote would also be put down at this time.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and rubbed between her eyebrows.
It's really secret.
The General's Mansion is already a swamp of mixed feet, and she is really surrounded by all directions, not to mention, the poisoner is still in the dark.
After Xie Lingqin finished washing, Zihe had already walked over, looked at Xie Lingqin, and lowered his head, "Miss asked, the quilt has been destroyed long ago, but it is the laundry that often washes your quilt." The old lady in the room, I observed secretly, there is nothing special about that old lady, but... what's wrong with that quilt?"
Xie Lingqin glanced at her and did not hide it, "I suspect that my previous poisoning was related to that quilt."
"This?" Zihe covered his lips.
"However, it doesn't matter if the quilt is gone. As long as I don't die for a day, people in the dark won't be able to sit still, so..." Xie Lingqin's eyes turned sharp, and the corners of his lips were filled with coldness, "So, I must live alive Alright, the person who hurt me won't die, and I can't die."
So, isn't it a place where barbarians are fierce and fierce, she will always have a way to get the medicine.
She didn't believe that she would really be controlled by others in her new life.
Zihe couldn't help being chilled by Xie Lingqin's sudden coldness, and subconsciously pursed his lips.
"After breakfast in a while, take me to see that nanny." Xie Lingqin ordered again.
Zihe nodded, knowing that it was not simple.
The breakfast was served with giant clams.
White porridge, clear vegetables, and a bowl of mushy soup. It doesn't look like a ghost, but the taste is very tempting.
Before, Xie Lingqin had ordered Tridacna to help Zihe with some things, which was also a disguised promotion and reuse of her.
"This is..." Xie Lingqin didn't speak, but Zihe pointed at the dark soup and said in surprise.
Look at the color, I almost didn't ask if it was overcooked.
However, Tridacna's small face was shining brightly, looking at Zihe, "Sister Zihe, this is a kind of soup at my house. Eating it can strengthen your body. It is best to drink a bowl in the morning on an empty stomach, servant girl." Thinking, didn't the lady catch the wind and cold before, and the body is also very thin, so I boiled this soup."
As Tridacna spoke, her eyes sparkled, as if this was such a great event.
Xie Lingqin looked at her, but raised his eyebrows slightly, walked over, took a look at the bowl, smelled it, and after a while, met Tridacna's expectant eyes, and said, "Is there papaya in it?"
"Yes." Tridacna nodded hurriedly, "As the old saying goes, it also has the effect of breast enlargement."
"Oh." Xie Lingqin raised his eyebrows, "I like this." After saying that, he immediately touched his mouth and drank it down.
Zihe on the side couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
Miss is not afraid of being poisonous.
In the end, this maid named Tridacna still has some strange things that I can't explain.
Tridacna watched Xie Lingqin finish his drink, but was extremely happy, her whole pretty face seemed to be able to bloom into big flowers, and she smiled very brightly, "Miss likes that I will do it for you next time."
"it is good."
After finishing the porridge and vegetables, Xie Lingqin asked Zihe to take her to the laundry room secretly.
The laundry room in the General's Mansion is not too big. There is a small courtyard alone, which is just a place to wash clothes for all the masters in the General's Mansion.
After watching the nanny secretly for a while, Xie Lingqin returned disappointed.
It was obvious that the nanny really didn't know anything.
"Miss, it's okay. Since the other party wants to poison you to death, there must be another trick. The servants must be more careful in what they do in the future."
"En." Xie Lingqin nodded, but thoughtful in her heart.
She was thinking about another question, since the poison was from a barbarian, could the person who poisoned her come from a barbarian?
If so.
Then this matter is complicated.
After all, back then, her mother defeated the barbarians, and because of this, the barbarians had to pay tribute to Beirong in recent years.
If someone takes revenge...
It's just that revenge is okay, but I'm afraid, there is a deeper purpose before and after it.
"Slaves send greetings to the eldest lady."
The two masters and servants were walking, and a maid in front of them bowed slightly.
Xie Lingqin was about to wave his hand, his eyes fixed.
It was wonderful.
The dead Nanny Yang's daughter is now serving in Xie Danling's yard.
Speaking of which, Xie Danling did not return home these few days.
"Go back."
Xie Lingqin glanced at Miaoqiao, and walked forward with Zihe.
Miaoqiao bowed politely again, and then retreated.
"Miss, the servant has checked, Liu Ma has already told Miao Qiao that Madam Yang was poisoned by Second Aunt, but looking at Miao Qiao, she doesn't seem to have any special reaction."
Xie Lingqin's eyes turned slightly on his cold face, "People's hearts are the most unpredictable thing in this world."
When he returned to Qingfeng Pavilion, it was still early and he still had things to do, Xie Lingqin changed into men's clothes and let Zihe take care of him, and left the mansion again.
Zihe is now accustomed to seeing Xie Lingqin disguised as a man to go out of the house, but this time he finally asked a question, "Miss, can you take the servants?"
The young lady shook her head gently, "No."
Zihe was helpless.
……
After Xie Lingqin left the General's Mansion, he went to the deserted mountain wave that he had found before, and ran around the mountainside for more than an hour before he packed himself up and went to look for Baiyu.
Bai Yu seemed to expect her to come.
"It's just in time. Here, here is the list I arranged. Look, how do you like it?" Bai Yu brought over a piece of paper full of shop names.
On it were the suppliers that Xie Lingqin had told him before, and there were also Baiyu's own investigations to find them.
Xie Lingqin took a look and smiled, "I can rest assured that you can do things. Well, I want to see the kitchen master and accountant you are looking for."
"Master chef, you can rest assured that he is an old servant of my Bai family, but this accountant..." Bai Yu sighed, "I didn't find a suitable one."
"why?"
"If you don't tell me what you sell in this shop, they don't know why it's sold. As soon as they heard that it was opened opposite the Jinhua Restaurant, they stopped taking it over immediately, and they didn't want to pay any money."
"Oh, it seems that Jinhua Restaurant has a lot of background."
"The one that can be opened there, can it be smaller?" Bai Yu shrugged, "Why don't you go out and ask for it."
"No." Xie Lingqin shook his head, "I don't have the guts at all, and I don't deserve to be my accountant. I'll think about it again. By the way, the store has started to be renovated?"
Bai Yu's eyebrows jumped, "No problem, according to the picture you gave, it went smoothly. I thought the master couldn't understand that picture. I never thought about it. He said it was simple, and said that the person who made this picture is really a master." .”
In the last sentence, Bai Yu was somewhat unhappy.
Xie Lingqin was noncommittal, but said, "So, never underestimate craftsmen, and be generous when you settle the money."
"I'll go, Yanshe, your cage is only 1 taels, and you've already gone to 100 taels."
"It's okay, didn't you steal a few hundred taels from Fuyue Gambling Shop before, and I put it in the bank account. If there is not enough, I will bring it back."
"Hundreds of taels..." Bai Yu gave Xie Lingqin a glance, "How dare you say that."
Xie Lingqin rubbed her nose. Anyway, she didn't have a penny that was justified.
right.
"I'll go to Mr. Qi's place to have a look. Do yourself a favor, Boss Bai." Xie Lingqin said, fisted with both hands, and left.
Bai Yuhen glanced at Xie Lingqin's back, "Hmph, you know how to order me around, the key is why I am willing, yes, half of me is involved..."
"Brother, what are you talking about here, brother Yanshe?" Behind him, Bai Ling came up with the cake and asked, pulling at Bai Yu's sleeve.
Bai Yu glanced at her, "Let's go, just because I'm a little bit..." As he said that, he was about to go to get the snacks on the plate, but Bai Ling took a big step back, and pouted, "This is what I gave Yan the shot." Brother prepared."
"Why are you so nice to him? I'm your brother."
Bai Ling curled his lips, his face turned red, "Because you didn't say that brother is good-looking."
white jade...
Depressed death!
……
Old Qi's courtyard is still the same as that day, but the last time I came here was at night, and this time I came here during the day. The vermilion and embroidered gate does not look so old.
After knocking on the door lightly, old Qi's voice came from inside.
Xie Lingqin pushed the door and entered, and had a panoramic view of everything in the small courtyard.
However, today, Qi Lao is not the only one.
Elder Qi is playing chess with someone, and that person...
Xie Lingqin's eyes narrowed inadvertently.
Hehe, this is... a coincidence?
