Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 550 Normal Response
Yuan Xi arrived at Xiao Qiao's door, knocked on the door, and said, "I have something to do. Can the girl open the door conveniently?"

After a while, the door creaked open. Xiao Qiao poked half of his head out of the crack in the door and said cautiously: "Why are you looking for a concubine?"

Yuan Xi spoke up: "I want to ask what Mr. Hua Tuo said when he came over during the day."

Seeing Xiao Qiao's hesitation, he said, "I can stand outside the door and say it."

When Yuan Xi said this, Xiao Qiao felt a little happy. Although the other party was in a high position, he seemed to respect him very much!
Xiao Qiao was originally very alert, but now she relaxed. She knew that if the other party forced her, she would not be able to resist, but now he was asking for her opinion. This meant that the other party had no ill intentions, right?

Or maybe he actually has a good impression of me, so that's why he's so polite?

Thinking of this, her heart started pounding, and she secretly looked at Yuan Xi, only to realize that his appearance seemed to be no worse than Mr. Gong Jin!
She hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and said, "I'm rude, please come in and talk to me."

The two sisters Xiao Qiao were born in deep boudoir since childhood. Very few people have seen their appearance. Although Qiao Rui had a good relationship with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu when they were in Jiangdong, the two sisters were never allowed to come out to see each other. Only occasionally Xiao Qiao came from the back hall. Only after finding a gap in the board wall could we see the appearance of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

She introduced Yuan Xi to sit down, but she found a clean tea set, took out a handful of tea leaves from the tea box and put it into the bowl. Then she squatted slightly, lifted the copper kettle, and poured hot water into the bowl.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Qiao's back as she was making tea. She had to say that Xiao Qiao's manners were extremely elegant, and her figure looked extremely attractive against the backdrop of her close-fitting skirt. Although she was still young, she was already like a budding camellia. Generally, it exudes a touch of elegance.

Xiao Qiao carefully placed the tea bowl on the tea tray. With his arms slightly bent and his head slightly lowered, he carefully placed the tea bowl on the table in front of Yuan Xi and said softly: "Your Majesty, please use it."

Yuan Xi raised his head and saw the dazzling scene on Xiao Qiao's front that was very inconsistent with his age. He also recalled that night when Xiao Qiao pulled down her skirt several inches to reveal the touching snow-white scene, and her nose suddenly felt hot.

Only then did he realize that what Xiao Qiao was wearing today seemed to be even thinner than that night!
Seeing that Yuan Xi's eyes were a little straight, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but look down. She let out a sigh, covered her clothes, and quickly took a few steps back.

Only then did she realize that she had opened the door in a panic. She didn't think much about it for a moment, but she forgot that she was wearing casual clothes for the evening, and she didn't have a layer of underwear underneath!

Xiao Qiao's face suddenly turned red, and his heart was beating wildly, fearing that the other party would pounce on him next moment.

But what she was afraid of didn't happen. Yuan Xi just touched his nose, pretending to be nonchalant, lowered his head and fiddled with the tea bowl in his hand, and said, "Mr. Yuanhua came to show Mrs. Lu during the day. Is the girl present?"

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. It was difficult for her to change her clothes now, so she had to raise her sleeves to cover her breasts. She sat down awkwardly and said, "I was indeed present at that time."

Yuan Xi spoke out: "What did the two of them say, please tell me word for word."

Xiao Qiao asked doubtfully: "I think you and your wife have a good relationship. Why don't you just ask your wife directly?"

Yuan Xi said: "It is precisely because of this that I can't ask her directly."

Xiao Qiao seemed to have some realization, and slowly recounted the conversation between Hua Tuo and Lu Lingqi during the day.

After hearing this, Yuan Xi suddenly realized that this was what happened. Lu Lingqi's condition was far more complicated than she thought!

When he thought about it, Lu Lingqi's illness was caused by too much pressure. There were psychological reasons and physical reasons.

The psychological reason is that he lost his target in too frequent killings, and the physical reason is the neurasthenia caused by heavy fighting and endless noise.

Yuan Xi felt a little guilty, wondering why he hadn't discovered this earlier. Aren't many people with neurasthenia in later generations people with extremely sensitive hearing?
He suddenly remembered that the Zhen family also had a box of cotton in their warehouse in Haixi. If it could be used as earplugs, would it be able to alleviate Lu Lingqi's symptoms?
But now far away water cannot quench the near thirst, so we can only use silk and other light fabrics as temporary substitutes. However, this method will not cure the root cause. The top priority is to set off as soon as possible, capture Hefei, and then send Lu Lingqi back to Youzhou. Rest.

But will this affect his future combat plans?

Yuan Xi suddenly realized that Hua Tuo should have told him the cause of Lu Lingqi's illness, but the other party chose to hide it from him. Instead, he told Lu Lingqi the truth and left the choice in Lu Lingqi's hands.

But Hua Tuo had his own reasons for doing this!

Although Hua Tuo is a doctor, he is also a subordinate of Yuan Xi, so Hua Tuo's stance on things is not purely from the perspective of a medical doctor.

Just like last time, Zhen Mi asked her to conceal the fact of her pregnancy, and Hua Tuo strictly obeyed the order. On the one hand, Zhen Mi was the mistress, and on the other hand, Hua Tuo judged that after Yuan Xi learned about her family, it would inevitably affect the battlefield strategy.

Just like this time, Hua Tuo may have known the cause of Lu Lingqi's illness early on, but he did not tell Yuan Xi that the starting point of his behavioral motivation was actually the same as Zhen Mi's time.

He was worried that after Yuan Xi learned about this, he might put Lu Lingqi's condition first, affecting the battle strategy, and thus killing people who should not have died in the subsequent battles.

Hua Tuo's thinking is based on this logic. From the perspective of treating diseases and saving people, he wants to save more people. Therefore, he not only saves people through medical skills, but also conceals some of his words and deeds, without affecting his loyalty to Yuan Zhongcheng. Next, the right to make an informed choice is handed over.

Yuan Xi suddenly burst into laughter when he wanted to understand this. Hua Tuo's behavior of alternating between virtual and real was not like the Wu Qin Xi he created, but more like the Mizong Quan of later generations that combined virtual and real. If he couldn't figure out his boxing path, he would I can't understand his thoughts at all.He sighed secretly, Hua Tuo, a rather pure healer, could have such complicated and tortuous thoughts, let alone the other people under his command?
Each of his subordinate officials is alive.People with their own ideas choose to work for themselves for various purposes, but this does not mean that they are puppets who completely obey their own orders.

If Lu Lingqi's incident affects the war, I'm afraid they will regard him as not being a hero, which will affect his loyalty, right?
Xiao Qiao saw that Yuan Xi was deep in thought, and the expression on his face changed. She was deep in thought, and she didn't dare to say anything. She just looked at Yuan Xi secretly from the corner of her eyes.

Yuan Xi suddenly woke up from his deep thoughts and sat up straight, which shocked Xiao Qiao.

When Yuan Xi saw this, he said: "It's a shame for the girl to worry about it. Xi thanked the girl again."

"There is one more thing that troubles you, girl."

Xiao Qiao said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

Yuan Xi showed Xiao Qiao the shape of the earplugs he wanted to make, and said, "Try to use light and soft fabrics to avoid hurting the ear canal, but at the same time block out the sound as much as possible. Is it possible?"

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao thought for a moment and nodded: "It should be possible."

She said shyly: "My sister's needlework is much better than my concubine's. I will go to my sister to discuss this later."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi nodded and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you girl."

He felt that things were almost done, and suddenly remembered something, "The guard said that two carriages came to the house today. Who else besides Mr. Yuanhua?"

No wonder Yuan Xi asked, this was the time to find him. Maybe someone in the city was passing on the news to him. If he missed it, he might miss something.

Xiao Qiao thought for a moment and said, "She is the girl from the former Liu family."

Yuan Xi was a little surprised, "Liu Xun's daughter?"

"Are they looking for you or me?"

Xiao Qiao replied: "She is here to see my sister. It should have nothing to do with Shijun. It is said that she is also acquainted with Mr. Yuanhua."

Seeing that Yuan Xi was very interested, she told the story about the Liu family, and finally said: "Sister Liu and the Jiao family's mistress have never gotten along well, so getting divorced may not be a bad thing for her."

"But I'm getting married in three days, so I feel a little anxious."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi felt in a daze that this matter seemed familiar to him.

He tapped his fingers on the table. Seeing this, Xiao Qiao went to add tea. She raised one hand to cover her chest and held the copper pot in the other. As soon as she walked to the table, Yuan Xi slapped her The person at the table lost his voice and said, "So that's what it is?"

This moment shocked Xiao Qiao. She trembled and almost threw the pot in her hand. When she was about to let go, she realized something was wrong and quickly held the copper pot with both hands.

The water in the copper pot was already a little hot, so she let out a sigh, put the pot on the ground in a panic, and then rubbed her burned hands on her skirt while breathing hard.

When Yuan Xi saw it, he couldn't help but laugh. Then his smile stiffened because he found that with the movement of Xiao Qiao's hands, the front of her underskirt became even lower!
He had been stoic for several months, but now he couldn't hold it in any longer. He knocked over the table in front of him, and the overturned table fell right at the feet of Xiao Qiao, who was jumping. He heard her body move. It was crooked, and it fell down with a squeak.

Yuan Xi subconsciously stretched out his hands to support Xiao Qiao, but his physical inconvenience restricted his movements. The two suddenly collided and fell to the ground.

Xiao Qiao quickly stood up and said anxiously: "I bumped into the envoy..."

She was stunned for a moment, then screamed and rolled away.

Yuan Xi sat up awkwardly, wondering why the two sisters did so similar things.

He calmed down for a while, then slowly stood up and said to Xiao Qiao: "It was an accident, I'm going back first."

Xiao Qiao looked at Yuan Xi's leaving figure and wanted to cry but had no tears.

Woo hoo hoo, do you think you have lost your innocence?

The relationship between Xiao Qiao and brother Gong Jin is probably no longer possible, oh oh oh.
