Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 154

Returning from Daming Lake to Jinan City, Gu Sixiao did not accompany Lin Moniang back to Lin Mansion, but went straight to Xue's house.

In fact, she still felt uneasy.If Zheng Xuan really wanted to kill her, even if she hid in Xue's house, she still couldn't escape.

But now, Su Jingchun and Zheng Xuan are still together, and she refuses to be in the same place with Zheng Xuan no matter what.

Locking herself in the yard, she sent Xiaodie away, without even turning on the light, curled up behind the tent, staring at the door tightly.

No amount of hatred could eliminate the deep fear. In the darkness, she seemed to have returned to that night of despair.

The slight rustling sound stretched her already tense nerves into a bow.

Holding the dagger in her hand, she bit her lip, lifted the gauze curtain, and hid quietly behind the door.

There was a light knock on the door, and there were two consecutive rings, but Gu Sixiao only stared at the black shadow reflected on the door, and raised the dagger in his hand.

"Si Xiao..."

Although the voice outside the door was very low, Gu Sixiao immediately relaxed when he heard the voice.

Lowering her hand, she pushed the latch and opened the door. Before she could see who was coming, she had already thrown herself into his arms.

There was a strong smell of wine and a slight smell of sweat in her nose, but Gu Sixiao still hugged Su Jingchun tightly.

As if feeling Gu Sixiao's tension and fear, Su Jingchun also hugged Gu Sixiao tightly, without any hesitation, just like that without letting go.

"I'm here..." Without too many words, he just kept whispering this sentence in her ear.

Breathing gradually slowed down, Gu Sixiao exhaled lightly, and raised her head in his arms.

Although his face was slightly hot, he no longer had the shy look of pretending to be a child.

"Come in and talk!" Pulling Su Jingchun into the room, Gu Sixiao asked impatiently, "Did Zheng Xuan do anything to you?"

With Zheng Xuan's madness and gloomyness, it is absolutely impossible to trust Su Jingchun.

"I didn't give him a chance..." Su Jingchun said in a low voice, his eyes seemed to scan the room casually, and then he walked into the room suddenly.

Before Gu Sixiao could react, he had already opened the half-draped bead curtain and entered the room.

"Is this what your boudoir looks like?" He smiled lowly, turned his head, looked at the dressing table, and couldn't help but smile.

For other women, most of the dressing tables are filled with rouge, gouache, and beaded jewelry. On Gu Sixiao's dressing table, there are also jewelry, but they are all semi-finished products.

On the table, there was a pile of beads, obviously Gu Sixiao had removed the beads and hadn't put them back together.

Picking up a bead flower that seemed to be strung just now, he smiled and said, "This one, give it to me."

"I just made that one, it's not very pretty..."

I reached out to grab it, but was half a beat too late.

Su Jingchun put the bead flower into his bosom, and said with a smile, "I don't dislike it."

Isn't this something to dislike?
Inexplicably, she felt her ears burning, Gu Sixiao tried to calm down, and mocked: "You are a big man, what's the use of wanting a woman's pearl flower?"

"Didn't you say that I am a disciple!"

After hearing this and thinking about the situation in the back garden that day, Gu Sixiao couldn't help laughing.

Leaning closer with a smile, Su Jingchun said in a low voice, "It's good to know how to laugh again. That's right, no matter how ruthless Zheng Xuan is, he's only one person, but there are several of us!"

"Beside him..." Swallowing back the second half of the sentence, Gu Sixiao didn't say any more frustrating words.

"If Zheng Xuan died in Jinan, it would definitely bring you and Prince Rui a lot of trouble, right?"

She really wanted to kill Zheng Xuan in one fell swoop to avenge her great revenge.

But let's not talk about how difficult it is, even if it is really easy to kill Zheng Xuan, Su Jingchun will not do it.

That's too risky, once Zheng Xuan dies in Jinan, it means that Prince Rui's line and Prince's line are officially torn apart.Su Jingchun was the one who would bear the brunt of the harm.

No matter how reckless she was, she couldn't make Su Jingchun ignore the consequences.

Looking at Gu Sixiao, Su Jingchun didn't hide Gu Sixiao's meaning, he didn't even modify his words more, but calmly said: "Zheng Xuan can't die in Jinan..."

"I know," Gu Sixiao responded in a low voice, and suddenly regained his composure, "Besides, it's not easy to kill him in Jinan—we'll have a chance sooner or later."

Su Jingchun sighed, stepped forward and hugged Gu Sixiao.

After struggling for a while, but without breaking away, Gu Sixiao simply let him go.

"To kill a person, you don't have to use a knife or a sword, and you don't have to die right in front of your eyes..."

Looking up in surprise, Gu Sixiao frowned, "You want to poison? Is there any chronic poison that can make Zheng Xuan die after leaving Jinan?!"

"Who said I'm going to be poisoned?" Su Jingchun raised his eyebrows, and said calmly, "I'm going to send the elixir to Zheng Xuan."

Gu Sixiao couldn't understand these words.

Su Jingchun smiled and didn't care, "Do you know Wushi San?"

"That's what those scholar-bureaucrats in the Eastern Jin Dynasty ate? Didn't it mean that it was not a good thing at all, but poison?"

Su Jingchun nodded and said with a smile: "Zheng Xuan's hands are much warmer than ordinary people. That's because he has been taking Wushi powder all year round. People who take Wushi powder have a violent temperament and are extremely ferocious when they explode. I think he killed him before. Mrs. Zhang must also be violent because of taking Wushi Powder. So, this time, I will give him an elixir that can cure the sequelae of Wushi Powder."

"What elixir?" Although he knew that this elixir must not be an elixir, Gu Sixiao was really surprised what Su Jingchun was talking about.

"Among the medicinal materials that the sea merchants brought back from overseas, there was something called Fushousan. This thing, like Wushisan, became addictive after smoking - I have seen rich merchants who smoked this Fushousan in the coastal area before. , dizzy all day long, people have been crippled, but they would rather lose their family assets, and exchange for a moment of ecstasy."

Frowning, Su Jingchun said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, this Fushou Powder is more terrifying than Wushi Powder, and it should be strictly prohibited. But, before that, it's better to give Zheng Xuan this big gift first."

Although I don't know the effect of Su Jingchun's Fushou Powder, Gu Sixiao believes what Su Jingchun said.

If Zheng Xuan really became addicted to that thing, even if he is the prince's wife-in-law, he would be useless.At that time, will the crown prince still protect Zheng Xuan and the Zheng family?
"Where is He Zhifu? Should I also give him a big gift?"

"What do you think?" Su Jingchun smiled and blinked. Although he didn't answer directly, Gu Sixiao already knew that he had made arrangements.

On the day of giving the big gift, Su Jingchun deliberately brought Gu Sixiao to the banquet.

Gu Sixiao wore men's clothes and sat beside Su Jingchun.Zheng Xuan saw it at a glance, and deliberately blinked with Su Jingchun, with an expression of "a man understands".

After drinking for three rounds, among the squires who invited Zheng Xuan together, someone presented the "Fu Shou San".

"My son, this Fushou powder was brought back by the villain from Quanzhou to honor my father. It is said that long food can prolong life, strengthen the body, and even meet the gods!"

Zheng Xuan has seen many gift givers like this, but the phrase "meeting the gods" is a bit touching.

"What is it that is so miraculous? See the gods!"

Just as he was about to ask someone to present it, Hai Daguan suddenly said: "My lord, this Fushou powder cannot be used, it is poison."

Seeing Zheng Xuan frowned, the senior official Li also panicked, "Whoever said it was poisoned, the senior official Hai should not talk nonsense. I usually use this, and I feel refreshed and full of endless energy." Jiner, to put it bluntly, was not very useful in the past, but after taking this, it is not a problem to even marry the third daughter for one night..."

As soon as this kind of words were said, all the men present became interested.Seeing that Zheng Xuan just laughed and didn't respond, Li Daguan simply called someone to come forward to wait on him, "Hai Daguan said it's poison, so I'll smoke it for you now to see if the poison will poison me to death!"

The pretty maid came to wait on Li Daguan who inhaled Fushousan, swallowed the clouds, and Li Daguan closed his eyes half-closed, with a look of enjoyment on his face, he was ecstatic.

The people around were surprised, but Zheng Xuan smiled, "I thought it was something, it turned out to be Fanbang's Wushi San, if it is poison, it is poison, but this son has always loved poison."

Laughing loudly, Zheng Xuan asked someone to present the Fushou powder and distributed it on the spot, letting everyone try it with him.

Gu Sixiao was so anxious that she wanted to pull Su Jingchun, but Su Jingchun smiled lightly, and actually took a few deep breaths on the maid's hand.

Zheng Xuan's eyes flickered, and he didn't say anything else, leaning on the couch, being served by the maid to take Fushousan, but within a moment, his eyes were blurred.

Looking at Su Jingchun's eyes that were no longer clear, Gu Sixiao was anxious and panicked, but refused to say anything else, and could only hold his hand tightly.

Turning his head and looking at Gu Sixiao, Su Jingchun smiled in a daze, but his head tilted, and he fell into Gu Sixiao's arms, mumbling something in his mouth.

Shang Wu, who was sitting opposite, squinted his eyes and stared at this end. Although he didn't take that Fushousan, his eyes were already red from drinking.

"Brother Shang, woman, isn't it hard to find? Come on - that's the only one, this dancer is no prettier than that girl..." Zheng Xuan chuckled, pushed the dancer into Shang Wu's arms, and He hugged the woman beside him and raised his arms.

What had been a good banquet suddenly turned into a naked meeting, full of debauchery.

Gu Sixiao really couldn't stay any longer, even if she couldn't worry about Su Jingchun, she had to go out and ask Su Zhu to come and take care of her.

After leaving the banquet hall, she turned around the corridor and saw a familiar woman.

Her eyes flickered, she subconsciously stopped, and the woman turned around to look at her, but she smiled and gave a salute.

Gu Sixiao was about to return the gift, but she had already gone to the banquet hall.

Is it Lanzhi?That Zhifu's new favorite!

How come here?Could it be that the big gift to He Zhifu is also today?
Nervous in her heart, Gu Sixiao hurried out to call Su Zhu, although it was difficult to return to the banquet hall, she wandered outside.

I vaguely heard the sound of a cup being thrown from inside, and a woman's exclamation.

"My son, the little girl has committed a serious crime, please forgive me..."

She couldn't help but look in, and saw Lan Zhi kneeling on the ground, wiping the corner of Zheng Xuan's clothes with her sleeves, but she didn't know where her hands touched, Zheng Xuan was furious, and kicked Lan Zhi down on the ground as soon as he lifted his foot. land.

Lan Zhi fell to the ground, trembling with horror, and asked He Zhifu to intercede for her.

Zheng Xuan glanced at Zhifu He coldly, and Zhifu He shuddered and fell to the ground.

"My son, calm down, it's because this little concubine is too daring, I immediately asked someone to drag her down, and apologized heavily - why are you still standing there? Hurry up and drag this bitch down..."

A few days ago, he scolded his wife for Lan Zhi, but now he said that he would severely blame Lan Zhi for apology, he was indeed a heartless person.
