Warm Emperor's Favorite: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 174 Did the fish gnaw on the corpse?

Xuanyuan Yi nodded: "I understand, but what benefits can this plague bring to that person?"

Not to mention wasting time and money, but also taking so many innocent lives.

Feng Qi's eyes froze: "Do you have any guesses in your heart?"

Xuanyuan Yi sighed: "I shouldn't do such a thing for the sake of the superior."

"Is it...Xuanyuanjue?" Feng Qi was a little skeptical, the current Xuanyuanjue is not from Chengfushen, so it might be the mastermind behind him.

"If it wasn't for him, how could he have broken his leg so coincidentally?" Xuanyuan Yi said firmly.

"There are fish here." The villagers took care of the matter and cheered when they saw the fish in the pool. Now this place is blocked, and food is a big problem.

Feng Qi frowned, if the corpse was poisonous, the fish here shouldn't be alive, could it be that the silver needle turned black only because of the poison of the corpse?
Xuanyuan Yi saw that the villagers stabbed a fish up with a sharpened branch. The fish weighed three to four catties and was dying.

Feng Qi absolutely doesn't want to eat this fish, who knows if the fish gnawed on the corpse.

"Why does this fish have teeth? It's so strange, it looks like a silver carp." The villager poked the head of the fish with a twig, which was as thick as a finger, and accidentally poked the mouth of the fish. As a result, the fish snapped and bit broken.

Xuanyuan Yi hurriedly stepped forward to check, the fish was in the shape of silver carp, but the mouth of the fish was full of fine and sharp teeth.

Being curious, another villager took a thicker branch to tease the fish, but he bit it off.

"This... this fish can't grow so big in two or three years, right?" Feng Qi asked.

Xuanyuan Yi nodded: "It takes at least four or five years for a silver carp that is not fed to grow to this size!"

Feng Qi's heart trembled, and an inexplicable sense of fear enveloped her heart.

If the fish was born like this, then someone in the village must have seen it. Looking at the curiosity and freshness on the faces of the two villagers, it was obviously the first time they had seen it.

Xuanyuan Yi said: "Grab a few more to see, I want the small ones too."

Although the two villagers were curious, they dared not go into the water and caught a few on the shore. As a result, whether they were grass carp or silver carp, these fish were full of sharp teeth.

This time, the two villagers were a little scared, and one of them said, "What kind of strange fish is this? Is it also in the small river at the foot of the mountain? I dare not let my son play with it."

Xuanyuan Yi frowned and said, "These fish are weird."

Feng Qi bit her lip, she really couldn't think of such a strange fish appearing in her previous life.

However, after the plague in the last life, the third prince began to improve. People in the lineage of the prince and queen gradually withered, most of them died of illness, and a few transferred to the command of the third prince. Could it be that there is something ulterior motive behind this plague? matter?

Xuanyuan Yi looked at the sky: "Go back, otherwise it's not easy to go when it's dark."

Feng Qi nodded, and the two went down the mountain hand in hand.

There was only some porridge and corn cakes for dinner. The imperial court almost gave up here, so there was not much food distributed. When the food deliverers arrived at the entrance of the village, they would tie a long rope to the cart and throw it to the villagers, so that the villagers could drag it in by themselves.No one dares to touch the villagers here!
Therefore, Feng Qi was destined to be hungry, after all, she saw something disgusting on the mountain, and she really didn't dare to eat it.

Xuanyuan Yi guessed what Feng Qi was thinking, but it was impossible not to eat.

"Here are some fruits and vegetables, you can eat a little."

Feng Qi looked at the fruits, cucumbers, and carrots that Xuanyuan Yi found and wanted to cry. Although the princess's mansion was poor, it didn't make her fall to the point of eating lettuce directly.

Xuanyuan Yi took a cucumber and peeled it with a dagger: "I'm afraid you won't eat it after washing it with water, so I have to peel it."

Gentle and considerate men are the most popular, Feng Qi nodded, and the little awkwardness in her heart dissipated.

It was completely dark outside, Xuanyuan Yi found a quilt to make the bed thicker, probably because he was afraid that Feng Qi would not be used to sleeping.

"I'll ask the villagers to find some fruits and the like, otherwise you won't have anything to eat tomorrow."

Feng Qi bit her lips: "I think there is a conspiracy in this epidemic, as if someone deliberately wanted to destroy this place."

Xuanyuan Yi paused his hand making the bed, and said, "Conspiracy? Is there something shameful in this mountain? Are they afraid of being seen by others?"

Feng Qi nodded: "That's right, can you find some confidantes to go to the mountain to check?"

"Well, I know about this, let's rest first." Xuanyuan Yi nodded.

"Your Highness, the girl made some snacks..." Before he finished speaking, a beautiful woman in a pink dress opened the tent curtain and walked in.

She was stunned when she saw Feng Qi, and after sizing her up, she showed a disdainful expression, thinking to herself: "How can a kid snatch a bean sprout from her?
Xuanyuan Yi's face darkened: "Miss Mei, it's late at night, you shouldn't be here!"

Miss Mei seemed to be protesting against Feng Qi on purpose, she puffed her chest out, and the waves became even more turbulent.

"Your Highness has been tired all day. Only women in the village can make dim sum, so..."

Feng Qi sat on the sidelines and watched the shy and timid girl Mei playing hard to get, laughing in her heart. Although she was beautiful, who was Xuanyuan Yi?He has seen so many beauties, how could he be hooked up like this?
"Thank you Miss Mei, let's put it aside, it's getting late, we have to rest." Xuanyuan Yi frowned and chased away.

"You guys? She's His Highness's younger sister? But even younger sisters can't sleep together. The brothers and sisters are all seven years old, so she's still in her teens, right?" Miss Mei's face darkened, looking at Feng Qi's eyes full of disdain.

Xuanyuan Yi was not happy with Miss Mei's look at Feng Qi, and said coldly: "She is His Highness's fiancée!"

Jealousy flashed in Miss Mei's eyes, but she quickly let go of it. She was just a little girl, and His Highness couldn't say it if she wanted to. As long as she could serve the eldest prince, she would be a side concubine or an aunt in the future.

"So that's the case, but this young lady is too young, she definitely won't serve others, why not stay and serve His Highness..." She didn't continue, but looked at Xuanyuan Yi with fascinated eyes.

However, Xuanyuan Yi smiled faintly: "Who said she was asked to serve His Highness? My Highness is here to serve her." Then he hugged Feng Qi and put her on the made bed, carefully took off her coat .

Feng Qi was stunned, although she was inextricably linked with Xuanyuan Yi in the previous life, and she is his fiancée in this life, but this matter of serving her to undress still feels quite awkward.

But now there is a rotten peach blossom in the room, she has to put up with the awkwardness and quietly let Xuanyuan Yi serve her.

"Eldest prince, this is against the rules. You have a noble status, how can you serve others?" Miss Mei was so jealous that she wanted to tear Feng Qi apart, but she smirked.

Xuanyuan Yi frowned: "His Highness is willing, can you control it?"
