Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 161 The Grace of Saving Life
"Not good." Zi Yan yelled subconsciously, and went straight to the kitchen at a speed of sprinting [-] meters. If she guessed correctly, something must have happened in the kitchen.

When Zi Yan rushed to the kitchen, billowing green smoke was coming out of the chimney on the roof, she screamed inwardly and rushed in.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough." Su Mei coughed violently.

"Miss? Is that you?" Zi Yan covered her mouth and nose and shouted loudly.

"Zi Yan, why are you here?" Su Mei asked.

Zi Yan followed the sound, grabbed Su Mei's arm, and ran out.

Su Mei was pulled out without paying attention.

Zi Yan looked at Su Mei, whose face was covered in pitch black, and couldn't help laughing out loud, saying, "Miss, look, your face is covered in stains!"

Su Mei subconsciously reached out to touch her face when she heard this, but before her hand touched her cheek, Zi Yan stopped her.

"Miss, don't move, be careful of soot flying into your eyes." Zi Yan took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped Su Mei's eyes briefly, and said, "Miss, go back to the room and change clothes first, and then take a good look." Freshen up, if the prince asks about the smell of paste on your body, he will be worried."

And Su Mei looked at Zi Yan with relief as if she had never heard of it, and said, "Zi Yan, thank you!"

"Okay, miss, this servant understands, let's go wash up." Zi Yan pushed Su Mei to the room, and she also went to the pool to wash Su Mei's face.

Su Mei sighed inwardly, it seemed that her good intentions to make breakfast herself were in vain, she couldn't help but failed to make breakfast, and almost set the kitchen on fire.

After washing up, Zi Yan walked into the room with breakfast, and she put the bowls and chopsticks on the table with some gloom, and said: "Miss, there is only rice porridge left in the kitchen, you will eat it as soon as possible." Order."

Su Mei glanced at the rice porridge on the table, looked at Zi Yan apologetically, and said, "Zi Yan, sit down and eat together."

Looking at the few meals on the table, Zi Yan shook her head and said: "Miss, I am not hungry, you can eat."

Su Mei smiled lightly, then got up, pulled Ziyan to sit down, served her a bowl of porridge, and said, "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while." Saying that, Su Mei sat back on her seat, I started to eat breakfast on my own.

Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, then sipped the porridge.

Half an hour later, Prince Yong's Mansion.

When Su Mei walked into the front hall, she happened to see Jiao Jing Yao sitting on a chair with a serious expression on her face, as if she was waiting for someone.

"Brother." Su Mei said as she stepped into the threshold.

When Jiao Jingyao saw that it was Su Mei, his serious expression immediately faded away, and he put on a smile, stood up, and said, "Little sister is here."

"Well, big brother, is there a guest coming today?" Su Mei noticed that Jiao Jingyao was not wearing the usual clothes today, but a light yellow python robe with an exquisite jade pendant around his waist and a white jade feather crown on his head. , Exuding a bold and noble air all over his body.

"No, Wang Shangshu came here just now." Jiao Jingyao frowned slightly. When he approached Su Mei, he seemed to smell a burnt smell, and he continued to ask: "Little sister, today's smoked What kind of fragrance, why does it smell so weird."

However, as soon as Jiao Jingyao said this, Zi Yan couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing softly.

Jiao Jingyao looked at Zi Yan with some doubts, and Zi Yan stopped laughing immediately after seeing Jiao Jingyao's serious eyes, but her face turned red because she was holding back her laughter.

Jiao Jingyao turned to look at Su Mei, and unexpectedly found that she, who had always been quiet, turned red half the sky today.

Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Jiao Jingyao understood a little bit, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Just when Jiao Jingyao was about to speak, Su Mei raised her head and said, "Brother, I wanted to cook some food myself, but I accidentally burned the kitchen down."

Su Mei's tone of voice was very flat, but Jiao Jingyao's ears were surprised, and he immediately asked with concern: "Is there any injury?"

"No." Su Mei shook her head and said.

Jiao Jingyao seemed relieved, and then said with a smile: "Little sister, there are some trivial matters that you don't need to do by yourself, as long as you think about it, it's fine. Brother wants you to be healthy and healthy at any time. What's more important than that? all good."

Su Mei looked at Jiao Jingyao with some surprises. It turned out that he knew everything. Suddenly, Su Mei felt warm in her heart. If it wasn't for the difference, the time was wrong, and the identity was different, she might really think that Jiao Jingyao in front of her was the Her eldest brother Tang Feiyu died.

"Well, thank you big brother, little sister understands." Su Mei replied with a light smile.

Jiao Jingyao nodded in relief when he heard the words, and then said: "It's almost time, I think brother Yuan Jun should have gotten up and had breakfast, why don't we go and see him, he is your lifesaver."

"Okay." Su Mei nodded.

On the road paved with bluestone slabs, several figures gradually drifted away.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking from a distance, I happened to see the silver-masked man dancing sword in the courtyard. Although his face was still a little pale, but fortunately, it had a little ruddy luster, and he looked much better. Although his The hand is not very flexible yet, but it seems to be recovering well.

Unexpectedly, his injury improved so quickly in just one night.Jiao Jingyao sighed in his heart, and then he frowned, remembering what happened to the men in black last night. He remembered that the two men in black came from the southwest and jumped out of the courtyard wall, and the man in the southwest The direction was the direction of the courtyard where the silver-masked man lived, and this knowledge made him a little suspicious. Could it be that the silver-masked man was related to those two men in black?But, are the men in black last night the same group as those in the daytime?
Thinking of this, Jiao Jingyao's expression became extraordinarily solemn. If it was as he had guessed, it would be a little strange. If so, what was his real purpose?Is it just for the hero to save the beauty?He still remembered that at the dinner table that day, Lan Shuiyan told him in ventriloquist that Brother Yuan Jun was interested in Su Mei.

Before Jiao Jingyao could think about it, he was interrupted by Su Mei's voice.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Su Mei felt the coldness emanating from Jiao Jingyao's body, and couldn't help turning her head to look, and actually saw his dark cheeks.

"It's okay." Jiao Jingyao put on a smile and said softly, "Let's go in."

But at this moment, the silver-masked man stopped what he was doing, and looked up at the door with a clear look on his face, as if he knew they would come, and he seemed to have noticed that they were at the door a long time ago. , and also heard the conversation between the two, in short, there was a deep light shining in his pair of bright and stern eyes.

Seeing them enter the courtyard, the silver-masked man put away the long sword in his hand, put it on the stone table, walked towards them, and said in a flat tone: "Brother Ziheng!"

"Brother Yuan Jun." Jiao Jingyao said with a light smile.

After the two of them greeted each other, the silver-masked man nodded slightly to Su Mei who was beside Jiao Jingyao, and said expressionlessly, "Princess."

Su Mei was taken aback when she heard the words, she didn't expect that he would be so unfamiliar to her after just one night, but she didn't show it on her face, she still said without changing her face: "Brother Yuan, you are welcome. "

Jiao Jingyao smiled softly, and said: "Seeing brother Yuan Jun dancing sword today, Ziheng's eyes light up. He didn't expect brother Yuan Jun's swordsmanship to be so advanced. Even though he was injured, he still danced so superbly. Ziheng admires you." As he spoke, Jiao Jingyao hugged him with great reverence, and his tone was full of admiration.

"Brother Ziheng, you're being polite. What's the point of making a fool of yourself!" The silver-masked man said modestly, with the expression on his face still very flat, and then asked: "By the way, why did Brother Ziheng come here today? It's not just Let's come and see my little brother dancing the sword!" The silver-masked man's tone was less stiff and more joking.

Hearing the sound, Jiao Jingyao smiled slightly, then turned to look at Su Mei, and said, "Brother Yuan Jun, you are too worried. You were injured yesterday to save your little sister. It is reasonable for us to come and visit, but today Seeing that your complexion is much better, I feel more at ease." Even if the folk customs are more open, it is impossible for a woman to express her gratitude in person, and Jiao Jingyao did this to preserve Su Mei's reputation.

After Su Mei received Jiao Jingyao's eyes, she looked gratefully at the silver-masked man, bowed slightly, and said, "Xiangrui thank Brother Yuan for saving his life!"

The silver-faced man is also well-informed and has a gentleman's demeanor. He raised his hand falsely and said politely: "You don't have to be like this, the princess, whoever you are in yesterday's situation, will do the same. It's a pity , My ability is limited, I failed to capture the man in black, I am ashamed and ashamed!"

"Hey, Brother Yuan Jun's words are wrong. If you hadn't saved me, my little sister would have died under the sword of the man in black. We should be ashamed that you were injured because of exhaustion!" Jiao Jingyao continued. .

Su Mei looked at the expressions of thanking the two people, and suddenly felt a strange feeling. It was the first time she saw a friend she knew would be so polite. These became stiff.

Suddenly, the silver-masked man smiled heartily, breaking the strange and lifeless tranquility that was floating in the air.

He laughed and said, "Brother Ziheng, based on the friendship between you and me, we are actually talking in an official tone here and complimenting each other. If we continue talking, I'm afraid I will be laughed at by my younger sister!"

Hearing this, Jiao Jingyao also smiled cheerfully, then looked at Su Mei mischievously and said, "I made my little sister laugh."

Without waiting for Su Mei to answer, the silver-masked man continued, "Since you are here to see me, then don't stand here, lest you say that I neglected the guests, I will be the host in this yard today." The masked man turned his head to look at the stone table in the courtyard, and said, "Brother Ziheng, Princess, I think the weather is good today, and the sun is not as harsh as it used to be. In my opinion, it's better if we stay here How about sitting on this stone bench and having a cup of tea?"

"The summer wind is blowing gently, and the fragrance is floating all over the garden, just as brother Yuanjun said, please!" Jiao Jingyao said with a slight smile.

"Please." The silver-masked man waved his hand as a gesture of invitation.

After the three of them were seated, the silver-masked man handed the long sword on the table to the servant in the courtyard, and said, "Please go and make three cups of hot tea."

"Yes." The man nodded, then stepped back respectfully.

The silver-faced man admired Jiao Jingyao a little. If he was a slave in another mansion, he might have to see the face of the real master first, but he didn't see any hesitation, and immediately agreed. .

But as soon as they were seated, Imperial Physician Lin walked into the courtyard with a medicine box on his back.

Speaking of which, yesterday, the silver-masked man was injured outside the city to save Su Mei. Because he injured his lungs, he was likely to be infected. Therefore, Jiao Jingyao asked the housekeeper to go to the palace and invited Physician Lin to come over for diagnosis and treatment.

As soon as Imperial Physician Lin walked into the yard, he saw the three people sitting at the table, and he was taken aback for a moment, but in a flash, he recovered his normal color, walked forward, saluted respectfully and said: "The old minister has seen Prince Yong. , Princess Xiangrui Ankang!"
