Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 73 Shocking Change (7)

Xiao Yi was fiddling with this and that in the kitchen. Everything was so novel. It wasn't that she hadn't been in the kitchen before, but she had never seen so many bottles and jars of medicine.

Her little master has now become a medicine jar, and she feels sorry for him.

Seeing her actions, Xiao Yi just smiled and patted her head lovingly, Xiao Yi avoided his hand and stared angrily, "What should I do if you always touch my head and make me feel stupid? "

"My Yueyue is only cute if she's stupid." Xiao Yi likes her silly appearance, so innocent and kind, so cute that she wants to hold her in the palm of his hand, seeing too much intrigue, Yueyue is his There is only a piece of pure land in my heart, and no filth can contaminate her.

"Listening to your words, I hope that I will become stupid." Xiao Yi took a large package of medicinal materials wrapped in oil paper, and poured them all into the medicine jar.

"Yueyue, you can't mess with this medicine." Xiao Yi thought to himself, what if Master Mo is poisoned to death by your method.

"Isn't it just pouring in all the medicinal materials and adding some water to cook it?" Xiao Yi had an expression of 'you are so stupid', despising the IQ of the majestic emperor.

"Yueyue, this medicine must be method-specific. If you don't make it right, the medicine will lose its effect. Although I don't know much about medicine, I have read similar books, and they all say so."

Xiao Yi looked at him, thought about it in her heart and felt that Xiao Yi's words were reasonable, so she dragged Xiao Yi to the courtyard to ask for help.

The place where Mo Yanxiao lives now is quite different from his previous place. There are dozens of servants alone, all of which are rewarded by Xiao Yi. He thought that if the majestic emperor's master didn't have some style, people would think he was abusing him. My own teacher will not be human inside and out at that time, so Xiao Yi did not treat Mo Yanxiao badly in these respects.

In the yard, Xiao Yi found a servant who seemed ingenious and handy to help, and Xiao Yi happily dragged her to the kitchen.

Xiao Yi was about to follow Xiao Yi, but he didn't expect that one of the guards who came with him brought a shocking news, saying that King Wu Ning would make a big move recently.

Xiao Yi was so distracted by the news of King Wu Ning that he didn't keep up with Xiao Yi at all.

Listening carefully to the maid's introduction, Xiao Yi knew how to cook the medicine, but she didn't expect that a small bowl of medicine would have to be boiled slowly for an hour. Too ignorant.

After listening to the explanation, Xiao Yi prepared to cook the medicine patiently. She ordered the servant girl to help her watch the heat and ran to Mo Yanxiao's room alone. She just wanted to see how the little master was doing.

Just now he vomited a mouthful of blood and he was careful to cover it up. If she hadn't seen the red mark on the handkerchief, she wouldn't have noticed. What's more, when he vomited blood, he vomited towards the red plum.

Her little master is just so stupid, he always doesn't want others to worry about him.

Thinking of this, her eyes were so red that she almost shed tears, no, she can't cry, the little master hates her crying the most, and when we meet again later, he will laugh at her again, thinking that she is still a child.

Sneaking into Mo Yanxiao's room quietly, Xiao Yi just pursed her lips and smiled as she looked at the man who was buried deep in the bed, but her eyes were distressed. , this is just a few days he has become like this.

Little master, you are the child who can't take care of himself.

Now that you are married, and now you have a gentle, considerate and caring young lady, you will definitely live happily.

Mo Yanxiao was laughing, he knew it was a dream, but he would rather not wake up.

In the dream, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was pouting her lips and couldn't catch any fish, so she jumped into the river angrily to catch fish. He was worried that something would happen to her and she jumped into the river and hugged her tightly.

Holding her petite body in his arms, he felt that there was nothing in the world, only the little girl in his arms that reached his waist.

Those black pearl eyes that always looked up at him adoringly looked up, and there was only him in their eyes.

At that time, he clearly knew that he had to resist but still couldn't help being satisfied. He even thought that he was the only one in this person's eyes in this life.

He knew that was wrong, that mistakes should have been killed in the first place, so he was hurting himself when he hurt her.

Seeing Mo Yanxiao's smile, Xiao Yi also felt relieved. The little master is very happy now, and she should cherish her own happiness. Thinking of Xiao Yi's face, Xiao Yi looked shy.

She will soon be his queen, and no one will be able to separate them from now on.

At this time, they are only fingertips apart but so close to each other, one is in the east and the other is in the west, they are so close yet so far away.

Xiao Yi walked to the desk in Mo Yanxiao's room. There was a picture scroll on the table. When she unfolded it, she found that it was the painting she saw at the place where Mo Yanxiao lived before.

There is a round of bright moon above, and there are cold plums independent in the wind.

The little master is like the bright moon in the sky, he is so in love with the plum blossoms in the snow.

Xiao Yi never knew the meaning in that painting, it was the cold plum in the snow that was trying to bloom herself for the unreachable bright moon in the sky, thinking that she could get the bright moon's favor with such efforts.

Mo Yanxiao will never know that this time is the closest distance between them in this life.

Those who are close can breathe each other's breath, so close that it is impossible to become possible.

Breathing the air outside, Xiao Yi looked up at the blue sky, the white clouds, and the birds flying freely.

On the way back to the kitchen, she met a maid who was carrying supplements. She was a servant who took care of Qin Mei's daily life. She greeted Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi nodded to her.

Xiao Yi didn't know why she had a strange feeling when she passed by. She felt that someone was watching her and looked around but didn't see anyone.

it's wired!
She collected herself and told herself not to think too much, but as soon as this idea came into being, it seemed like it took root and sprouted out of her mind.

Could it be that someone in this mansion wants to harm the little master?
But it's unlikely, the little master is an imperial teacher of a country, and his status is very important, who dares to target him so boldly, isn't he afraid that Brother Yi will order his head to be cut off.

Perhaps her senses were too sharp to create an illusion.

When she returned to the kitchen in a hurry, she saw the servant girl squatting on the small bench squinting her eyes and loafing. She was snoring, drooling as if she had dreamed of something.

Alas, it really is unreliable.

She picked up a piece of cloth to cover the medicine jar and took off the lid. She was relieved to see that the medicine was not glued.

Looking at the sky at the side, it was almost an hour before I was about to turn off the fire.

As soon as she bent down, she saw a small piece of paper next to the stove. It was a piece of yellow oiled paper, which was also stained with a strange white powder.

She put the tip of the paper close to her nose and was about to smell it, when the kitchen door swung open, Xiao Yi and his guards just arrived, followed by a few servants from Mo Yanxiao's residence.

This formation is really strange.

Xiao Yi smiled at Xiao Yi, but didn't notice his strange expression.

"Brother Yi, what are you doing just to make some medicine? If so many people come, this kitchen will be overwhelmed."

"Yueyue, what is that in your hand?" Xiao Yi raised his brows, he was so worried about the little woman in front of him at this moment, but she still seemed to have no idea what happened.

"Oh, I just picked it up on the ground." Xiao Yi said it as a matter of course, but many people didn't hear the same thing.

"Yueyue, do you know?" Xiao Yi sighed, closed his eyes and said with determination: "Just now, Qin Mei died."

Qin Mei is dead?

The news was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and Xiao Yi couldn't recover.

How could Qin Mei die?Just now she was still standing in front of her alive, and she was still calling her little teacher.

"Brother Yi, you are lying to me, aren't you?" She laughed dryly, "Why are you making a joke on the little master, be careful that the little master will punish you for copying the "Three Character Classic" three hundred times. "Although she was smiling, the smile on her face was so forced.

"Yueyue, I won't lie to you, the maid who was serving Qin Mei just now ran out of the room and said that Qin Mei was already dead when she entered."

Xiao Yi staggered and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Xiao Yi helped her in time, he hugged his Yueyue into his arms to comfort her, "Yueyue, don't do this." Xiao Yi trembling in his arms It looks like wearing a thin unlined garment in winter.

"You lied to me, you lied to me..." Xiao Yi kept repeating this sentence, her eyes were dull.

"Qin Mei walked very peacefully, very peacefully."

What Xiao Yi said was correct, Qin Mei did die peacefully, as if she had fallen asleep peacefully, no one knew about it at first, but her personal servant girl knew that Qin Mei usually had some small habits, so no one found out after calling for a long time Reasonable, the servant girl noticed something was wrong when she was careful.

After several trips down, Qin Mei was found dead.

Xiao Yi nestled in Xiao Yi's arms, her eyes were dark, she didn't know what to do.

She thought of the woman who asked her to comb her hair not long ago. The married woman was dressed in red, and she was beautiful. Although she loved to wear red so much in normal times, she was even more beautiful that day, just like the red plum blossom painted by the little master. Same, fragrant.

Such a beautiful woman has suddenly disappeared, all of this is like a dream, a dream that cannot be woken up, but now when the dream is woken up, it is like a dream come true.

Her little master finally got happiness, and now he is sick in bed, how could he accept such a cruel fact, besides, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, of course she knew how important Qin Mei was to him.

In other words, she probably wouldn't be able to survive.

Xiao Yi felt sorry for the little woman in his arms, he didn't know how to comfort her, he could only warm her with his own body temperature and told her that he was always by her side, even if the world would be destroyed.

A hand grasped his arm, and he saw the desolation on that delicate little face.

"Don't tell the little master, don't let him know."

"I know."

Xiao Yi understood what Xiao Yi meant, now that Master Mo is sick and his body is so poor, if he knew about Qin Mei's affairs, he would definitely be sicker.

Xiao Yi tried every means to suppress this matter. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, is there?

Xiao Yi picked up the yellow paper that Xiao Yi was holding just now, and when he saw the powder on it, he pinched it with his fingers and put it on the tip of his nose. When he smelled it, his handsome face was full of horror.

He glanced at Xiao Yi in surprise.

In terms of color, appearance, and smell, this powder is like some secret medicine that is not easy to find in some books, and the secret medicine refers to poison.

But Yueyue said that the poison was picked from the ground.

If the murderer really wanted to commit the crime, it would be impossible to leave such obvious evidence at the scene.

So why?
Could it be... A sharp light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, that icy cold light seemed to tear people apart.

He doesn't care how many bad things those people do, but if the idea hits Yueyue, he can't let them go anyway.

His Yueyue is kind-hearted, he knows her temperament better than anyone else, she will never kill Qin Mei with poison, and Yueyue has absolutely no reason to kill Qin Mei.

But it doesn't mean that he thinks so.
