Chapter 317 Choose Deception
Qingfeng Road, the old courtyard of the Zhuo family, is the mansion of the young master of the Zhuo family.

A cool breath surrounds the surroundings, bringing out a sense of thinness of life.

This house is not newly built, it has some history, it is not as magnificent as the mansions of rich and powerful ministers, with pavilions, pavilions, winding corridors, bridges, rockeries and ponds, it can be called elegant.There are more than ten servants and maids in the mansion, serving them in an orderly manner, which can be regarded as a good place.

However, compared with other mansions in Jindu, this place is too shabby.

At this time, in the main room, the boy with his eyes closed on the bed was as pale as paper, and the corners of his forehead were covered with beads of sweat.

The woman sitting by the bed hurriedly took out a kerchief and wiped it for him, being careful not to hurt the sick boy.

The woman's face is beautiful, her eyes are watery, but the tails of her eyes are slightly raised, giving her a hint of charm.

The boy lying on the couch trembled his eyelashes a few times, and slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake!" The woman was overjoyed, and reached out to stroke his pale cheek, "Is there any discomfort?"

The boy's eyes fell on her, his eyes gradually focused, he tilted his head slightly, avoiding the woman's touch, and said in a hoarse voice: "You..."

The woman's expression froze, and she held her finger in the air for a moment before she retracted it. She looked a little embarrassed, but then she smiled: "Yibai, I have been guarding you for several days and nights, and I have waited for you to wake up."

Zhuo Yibai's pupils were dark and deep, but his eyes looked dazed and weak, "Tian Xin, why are you here?"

Occasionally, when his consciousness was clear, he could feel someone waiting around him, and even once, he could feel Ye Zhaoyan's voice.

The rotation of virtual and real made him unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality.

He thought that if he tried to open his eyes, he could see her.

"How long have I been in a coma"

"It's been eight full days. These days, I'm alone in fear." Zhuo Tianxin's tone was rather annoyed, and the circles of her eyes gradually turned red.

She took the risk to do all this, worried that the matter would be exposed and could not sleep all day, seeing him waking up at this moment, filled with grievances, made her want to hug the person in front of her and express her thoughts.

"Where is this? Why am I here?"

His speaking speed was a bit slow, as if he had been asleep for a long time, his head was dizzy, and even his memory became blurred.

Zhuo Tianxin's heart sank, and he quickly suppressed the tears in his eyes, and said softly: "You are poisoned, the doctor said that your illness needs rest, so my father asked someone to send you to Qingfengdao's mansion. You stay here temporarily to recover from your illness. I saw that you were unconscious, so I specially invited a doctor with excellent medical skills to treat you. Now, your illness has recovered, and your body will soon be fine."

"The mansion in Qingfengdao?"

Zhuo Tianxin didn't dare to look at him, lowered his eyes to hide his guilty conscience, and pursed his red lips lightly, "The mansion in Qingfengdao was the place where my grandparents' natal family lived. Because the terrain is remote and the scenery is beautiful, there are few people on weekdays. , you are sick and weak, living here just to recuperate."

Before she finished speaking, Zhuo Yibai turned over and sat up, "So, I won't be able to go back to the Zhuo Palace."

Although this sentence was a guess, it made Zhuo Tianxin's heart beat violently, as if it was going to jump out of his chest.

She tried her best to maintain her composure and said, "The situation was critical at that time, and my father only cared about your condition. When you recovered from your illness, there must be other arrangements."

Zhuo Yibai still frowned, as if he was thinking about something, after a while, he slowly shook his head: "I always feel that I have forgotten an extremely important thing."

Although he was in a coma and unconscious, his insight was still sharp.

"You just woke up, you shouldn't think too much."

"I remember, before I fell into a coma, I met my father, and then Princess Bi also came, and I drank the soup she gave me, so, is it the poison in that bowl of soup?" There was no resentment in his tone.

But the implication is that Helian Bi harmed him?
Zhuo Tian's heart trembled, and he waved his hands in a panic: "Nothing! After you passed out, your father asked the government doctor to treat you. You were in a coma for nine days, and on the fifth day you took the right medicine."

Zhuo Yibai looked at her, with a clear insight into everything in his eyes: "Who has been to the palace these days?"

He suddenly interrupted her and asked another question, which made Zhuotian startled.

Her thoughts changed, and she finally chose to deceive: "Father is very concerned about you, and has sent people to Qingfengdao many times to say hello. The doctor was invited by my father, and they have no intention of harming you."

It is true that this is wrong, someone from Zhuo Wang's mansion came to see Zhuo Yibai every two days, that person was arranged by Zhuo Wang, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

However, the arrangement for this trip was not because Zhuo Wang felt sorry for the youngest son, but because of monitoring and spying.

The people sent by Zhuo Wang's Mansion only went back to report the illness, and even the manor doctor didn't come over for two days, let alone anything else.

As for the doctor, he was naturally invited by Zhuo Tian, ​​and even He Lianbi didn't know about it.

However, she would never say these words to Zhuo Yibai.

"Where's Wei Yu?" He asked again.

Wei Yu?The relaxed mood on Zhuo Tianxin's face suddenly tightened: "During the time you were in a coma, he couldn't get out of the body, and he even put on hold the errands assigned by the palace. Now he has returned to the Zhuo Palace to return to his life."

Ever since Ye Zhaoyan came, Zhuo Tianxin was afraid that Wei Yu would mention what happened that day, let alone mention Ye Zhaoyan after Zhuo Yibai woke up, so he asked Helianbi to find an excuse to detain him in the Zhuo Palace.

After he was grounded, Zhuo Tianxin sent people to watch him all the time, and nothing went wrong. From the looks of it now, he should be at peace.

It's just that the quieter it is, the more it gives Zhuo Tianxin a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment, the young man opened his slightly dry lips, and spoke clearly and coldly: "He is my man, and now I am afraid that someone will embarrass him."

His eyes were very serious, making Zhuo Tianxin's uneasiness reach its peak.

What is he suspicious of?Zhuo Tianxin's heart beat violently, he forced a smile and said, "How could it be?"

"Since it's not, call him back earlier."

As soon as the words fell, Zhuo Tianxin suddenly noticed that the temperature in the room dropped a little bit, and cold sweat crawled up his back in a trance.

Looking up, Zhuo Yibai's eyes were clear, without the slightest emotion, but somehow made people feel cold.

She wanted to persuade her again, but he lowered his head slightly and closed his eyelids.

Seeing his reluctance to talk, Zhuo Tianxin lowered his eyes to hide the darkness, his lips were drawn into a line, and his face was still gentle and calm, "Then I will come to see you tomorrow, it's getting late now, Just rest, if you feel unwell, I'll ask the doctor to take a look."

Zhuo Tianxin's carriage gradually drove away from Qingfeng Road, thinking of going north, the moment it passed Zhongchang Street, a gust of cold air rushed towards him, the cold wind made people tremble all over, the driver stomped on his frozen feet, and pulled the horsewhip After swinging, the horse spread its hooves, and rattled towards the flowing water alley beside it. The road there was long and narrow, avoiding the cold wind.

Suddenly, a gust of wind passed by, light footsteps sounded beside him, and the speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down.

Feeling that the car sank, the driver lifted the fender and looked down with some doubts, but he stretched out his hand to lift it, but saw a group of dark shadows lying on the bottom of the car, under the bright moonlight, it could be seen that the shadow was raised high and scared. He jumped up and shouted, "Miss!"

Hearing the voice, Zhuo Tianxin suddenly sat up straight and looked out the window: "What's wrong?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a sharp knife was already on her slender neck, and a man's hoarse and indistinct voice came from her ear: "Take a step to speak."
