The mad concubine of ancient martial arts who traveled through time

Chapter 372 Tea tasting
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" After feeling the softening of Ruan Wenyong's last tone, Siming finally heaved a sigh of relief, "I will definitely follow the example of Your Majesty and the Eldest Princess, and never dare to have any evil intentions!"

Ruan Wenyong looked into Siming's eyes with dark eyes, and only after confirming Siming's determination, he said: "You are the one brought back by Xu'er, and she will not obey you if you have any grievances in the palace. thing……"

Ruan Wenyong stopped at this point, Siming immediately took over the words and said, "I haven't seen Your Majesty today except at the palace gate."

Ruan Wenyong closed his eyes tiredly, and left quietly with empathy.However, within a quarter of an hour, the sound of footsteps on the roof reached Ruan Wenyong's ears. "Qi Dong!" Ruan Wenyong called out.

Qi Dong responded, and knelt silently in front of Ruan Wenyong without saying a word for a while, until He Quan came in with a bowl of medicinal soup, reminding Ruan Wenyong that it was time to take the medicine.Only then did Ruan Wenyong open his tired eyes, drank the concoction, and said, "I've been getting more and more incapacitated recently. Even so, as a slave, can I not report something?"

Ruan Wenyong's voice was indeed much weaker than before, but Qi Dong still didn't dare to underestimate the anger in this sentence, and quickly said: "According to His Majesty's order, to secretly protect His Royal Highness the Princess. Nothing else, just the peace of mind." waiting..."

really!Ruan Wenyong smiled wryly, as soon as he saw Ruan Zhuqi's appearance today, he knew that this escape by using the governor as an excuse did not make Ruan Zhuqi much happier. "I actually feel that Ashina Siming's temperament is very similar to that of Gao Wei in the Qi Palace back then."

Qi Dong didn't know why, so he looked at Ruan Wenyong in confusion, not understanding the connection between these two things.Ruan Wenyong didn't explain anything, and continued: "I got some good tea, please come to the palace to taste tea with An Lehou!"

This is the second time that Ruan Wenyong has invited Xuan Shidu into the palace. Unlike the last time, both of them knew that Ruan Zhuqi would not come with him this time.

In Weiyang Palace, the young leaves of the willow trees are all mature.Ruan Wenyong originally wanted to prepare a luxurious birthday for Ruan Zhuqi, but he didn't want to wait until Ruan Zhuqi came back, it was early summer.In the small courtyard of Weiyang Palace, rattan pepper tables and chairs were placed, and Xuan Shidu had been sitting opposite Ruan Wenyong for half an hour.

Ruan Wenyong finally saw enough of the scenery, turned his eyes back to Xuan Shidu, and asked, "How?"

Xuan Shidu smiled lightly, took a sip of the already cold tea, and said, "Your Majesty's tea is naturally the best."

"It was still hot just now, but you waited for it to cool down before drinking it. Gao Wei, you are so lowly, don't you know how to cherish it?" Ruan Wenyong's flat tone contained a question that cannot be ignored.

"Compared to His Majesty, Wei is naturally inferior." Xuan Shidu replied indifferently.

"Hehe, where did your Buddha go?" Ruan Wenyong stared sharply at the sandalwood beads in Xuan Shidu's hand, "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, how can you say that you are mean?"

Ruan Wenyong said, without waiting for Xuan Shidu's answer, he reached out and took the bead string from Xuan Shidu's hand.The thumb gently brushed the surface of the bead string, and the slight uneven feeling under the finger confirmed Ruan Wenyong's guess. "Hypocrisy! I don't understand, what is Xu'er looking for in you!" Ruan Wenyong thought about the grievances Ruan Zhuqi had suffered at Xuan Shidu's place during this period, and wished that Xuan Shidu's "hypocrisy" tear off the mask.

The hand raised angrily, but the action of throwing the beads on the ground was only half done, and finally Ruan Wenyong gently put the thing back into Xuan Shidu's hand. "You can still drink the tea when it's cold, but it's hard to warm up when your heart is cold. But I don't intend to give you another chance!"

Xuan Shidu replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" After speaking, he just stood up and felt dizzy for a while, and his vision became more and more blurred.

"Didn't you say that tea is the most poisonous, why do you still dare to drink it when I give it to you?"

Xuan Shidu was unable to answer anymore, his body limply fell to one side, but fortunately he was supported by someone.Although he could no longer see anything in front of him, Xuan Shidu could still feel the familiar sense of security from the person who supported him.

"I leave it to you. I don't want people who hurt Xu'er to always appear in front of Xu'er." Ruan Wenyong's voice seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and Xuan Shidu felt mixed feelings in his heart: he was about to die. Bar!Just why are there still some reluctance?

When Ruan Zhuqi's carriage passed by the gate of Anlehou Mansion, if Bai Mei hadn't rushed out from inside, Ruan Zhuqi would never have even raised the curtain.

"Princess!" Bai Mei, who was always very good at kung fu, was so flustered that she couldn't move her hands and feet. She was surrounded by a few pawns and couldn't escape, so she had to ask Ruan Zhuqi in the car for help at the top of her voice.

The car curtain was rolled up, Ruan Zhuqisu raised her hand slightly, signaling the guards to let Bai Mei go.Bai Mei immediately jumped in front of Ruan Zhuqi, grabbed Ruan Zhuqi's wrist, and when she was about to pull Ruan Zhuqi up, a long sword aimed at Bai Mei's hand and stabbed it.

Bai Mei let go of her hand quickly, took a few steps back, and when she drew her sword and was about to fight, she was surprised to find that the half-masked person who drew her sword was Hong Feng. "Stop messing around, my lord is waiting for help!" Bai Mei explained briefly, and when she was about to take Ruan Zhuqi away, Hong Feng's sword was aimed at Bai Mei mercilessly again.

"Warning, stay away from the princess!" Hong Feng forced Bai Mei back a few steps with her sword, and stepped forward to protect Ruan Zhuqi behind her, "What does the princess have to do with the son?"

"Hongfeng, don't you care about your son's affairs at all?" Bai Mei asked sharply.

Hong Feng's eyes froze slightly, but she said without any hesitation: "I am the son's subordinate, and this will never change. But the princess is free, and I will not let the princess be unhappy because of the son's affairs again." .”

"Hongfeng!" Bai Mei was still about to explain, but Qian Ao suddenly appeared in front of everyone, pushed Bai Mei under the car, and said: "An Lehou left Chang'an privately, His Majesty is just punishing you for this. Stopping the eldest princess' carriage in the street with a little sesame?"

"What small punishment? I searched all over the palace and couldn't find the young master!"

"Your Majesty has already handed him over to me. Is it possible that my son-in-law should report to you for disposing of a subjugated emperor?" Qian Ao chuckled lightly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, "Besides, what are you? How dare you make trouble in front of the eldest princess and me! Someone! Drive him away!"

An unbelievable look flashed in Bai Mei's eyes, expecting Ruan Zhuqi to say a word.Ruan Zhuqi turned her face away, pretending she didn't see it.Bai Mei was very disappointed, she didn't even resist, she just stared blankly and was pushed back to Anlehou Mansion.

From the conversation between Bai Mei and Qian Ao, Ruan Zhuqi probably understood what happened.But Xuan Shidu must be safe in Qian Ao's hands, and Ruan Zhuqi doesn't want to interfere with Xuan Shidu's affairs now.What's more, Qian Ao said these words in public, no matter what, Ruan Zhuqi wanted to save Qian Ao's face.

"The mansion has already been tidied up, you can have a good rest when you go back." Qian Ao smiled lightly and carried Ruan Zhuqi off the carriage, "The eldest princess's mansion is ahead, the carriage has been sitting for a long time, how about Come down and walk." Saying that, Qian Ao put Ruan Zhuqi on the ground, took her hand and walked side by side at the front of the team.

The street was really lively, curious people were all looking at Ruan Zhuqi and Qian Ao from the side of the road.Ruan Zhuqi vaguely remembered that a long, long time ago, someone held her hand like this, racked her brains to coax her, and surrounded her all the time.Ruan Zhuqi thought about it, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help getting a little moist. It's because she didn't cherish it, so she couldn't chase it back now.

"How does fourth uncle want you to deal with him?" Thinking of this, Ruan Zhuqi couldn't help asking.

Qian Ao's footsteps could not help but pause, and turned to look at Ruan Zhuqi.Just this movement of turning the head allowed the young woman on the side of the road to see her face clearly, which immediately caused a burst of exclamation.And because of Ruan Zhuqi, the exclamation was deliberately suppressed.

Listening to these unpleasant voices, Qian Ao frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty dare not do anything to the person you care about, and I will not do anything to him."

When Ruan Zhuqi heard the words, she knew that Qian Ao had misunderstood herself again, but the explanations were always weak, so it was better not to explain.Ruan Zhuqi said: "If you make a mistake, you should be punished. I won't take care of this matter. I can trust you. Besides, this person has nothing to do with me."

"If Xu'er really thought so in her heart, she wouldn't be depressed all the way." Qian Ao sighed for a long time, "Go back and rest, since you trust me, listen to my words. No matter what I do with Emperor Yong Everything is for you."

Ruan Zhuqi was a little dazed, Qian Ao stepped forward and hugged Ruan Zhuqi, and kissed Ruan Zhuqi deeply on the forehead.Suddenly, the exclamations that had been suppressed could no longer be suppressed, and came overwhelming.

"Asu..." A deep sense of guilt showed on Ruan Zhuqi's face, Qian Ao looked at her seriously, and said, "Xu'er, you must be happy. Emperor Yong and I will definitely make Ruan Zhuqi's wish come true."

"Asu..."

"Don't ask, let's go home." Qian Ao smiled indifferently, embraced Ruan Zhuqi, and strode towards the eldest princess' mansion.

Sleepless at night, Ruan Zhuqi lay in the bedroom, listening to the conversation between Hongfeng and Ziying on the roof.Qian Ao slept in the outside room, so he must have heard it more clearly than her.Ruan Zhuqi sighed slightly, after all, it was because of her that she harmed Hongfeng.

"Afeng..." Ziying looked a little guilty, "You and Beiming should not be allowed to protect the princess, I..."

Hongfeng subconsciously tightened the veil on her face, and said in a calm but heavy tone: "What's the point of getting a little injury in our line of business? Besides, a hidden guard or a killer doesn't need looks. .”

The remorse in Ziying's eyes became more and more obvious, and he thought a lot about words of relief in his mind, but finally he could only say: "But you are a woman after all."

But you are a woman after all?Hong Feng's smile was a bit forced, since childhood, he only regarded her as a partner who worked hard for Xuan Shidu.How many times, Hong Feng was full of anticipation, hoping that for a moment, Zi Ying would realize that she was a woman.However, at this time, when his appearance had been ruined and he only wanted to be his partner, he said she was a woman.
