Ability Shuttle: Don't mess with the black boss

Chapter 22 Qiankun Jade Cup (10)

My heart felt like a huge rock had been forged, and I hurried to the study.Suddenly, his foot slipped, and he fell to the ground, and a big hole was scratched at the cuff.

Before I had time to think about it, I put my hands on the ground and stood up again.In the end, he simply took off a pair of shoes, and continued walking with his bare feet holding the hem of the skirt.

When I rushed to the study, broke through the door, and appeared in front of Li Rui, he was looking at me blankly with the jade cup in his hand.

I knew in my heart that I must be very embarrassed and strange at this time.It's just that he couldn't care about so much at the moment, he stared straight at the Qiankun jade cup, and saw that there was still a full cup of tea in it, it seemed that he hadn't had time to drink it yet.

The tense nerves relaxed at the moment, and he sighed, feeling the rain on his hair flowing down his forehead, so he wiped it with his sleeve.

Li Rui put the tea aside, looked at me and asked, "Where is the princess singing?"

I glanced sideways and saw Xiao Hong standing beside her, lowering her head and trembling.Suddenly, I thought of the figure who was watching outside the door of the new house before, and it looked like a man.When you think about it in this way, she is definitely not the only one who wants to harm Li Rui.

After thinking about it, I decided not to startle the snake for the time being, so I smiled and said: "The prince has not visited Cheng Ya for a long time, and Cheng Ya misses the prince, so he wanted to give him a surprise. Who knew that it was raining when I went out, and I was caught off guard. A fall."

After speaking, he lifted his sleeves, deliberately exposed the scratched wound, and sobbed softly.

Li Rui said: "It's quite a surprise." After speaking, seeing my wrist, he frowned and pulled me closer, turned his head and shouted to Xiaohong: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you go to the doctor?"

Xiao Hong promised, and hurried out quickly.

Li Rui rolled up my sleeves to prevent the rain from soaking into the wound and causing infection.Then he picked up his coat and robe and wrapped me up. Before I could react, he carried me horizontally and placed me on the concubine's couch in the corner of the study.

I was taken aback for a moment, then wondered, "What is this for?"

His brows were always furrowed, he took out a wooden medicine box from the bookcase, and said calmly, "Treat the wound."

I thought to myself that the most important thing now is to tell him that someone poisoned the tea and wanted to kill him.So she said, "Didn't Xiaohong go to ask for a doctor? I have something important to do..."

Before I finished speaking, he interrupted me: "You saw through it just now, do you think she dares to go back home?"

After finishing speaking, he remembered something, and added: "It's really not good to tell a lie."

He took the medicine box, took out a cloth and wiped my wound clean first.My eyes widened, and it took me a while to come back to my senses, and I asked him, "You know everything?"

This kind of feeling is like writing a mystery novel that I think is very suspenseful. As a result, as soon as the reader reads the beginning, they deduce all the plot clearly.It’s like seeing the same movie for the second time in a movie theater, and you’re about to spoil someone around you, only to be told that he’s already seen it a third time.

I couldn't understand why Li Rui would drink that cup of tea if he knew someone had poisoned him.And why deliberately let Xiaohong go.It can't be understood that he is impatient to live.

Li Rui applied a box of unknown ointment to my wound, and the strong tingling sensation made me gasp.

He carefully blew cool air with his mouth, and after a while, the pain eased a lot.Seemingly seeing my doubts, he met my gaze and explained: "I have taken the antidote before."

I was dumbfounded, remembering that it was unnecessary to rush to report the news.For a moment, I felt that I was like a clown, so embarrassing.

For a long time, I didn't know what to say, so I could only whisper: "Oh."

In the next second, I only felt a heat on my shoulder.Li Rui suddenly knelt down on the side of the imperial concubine's couch and buried his head in the crescent of my neck.When I looked down, I could see his jet-black hair and feel his warm breath.

His sudden action caught me off guard, and I heard his muffled voice: "I have to beware of many people every day, even the closest people may kill me."

When I heard him say that, I somehow thought of Li Li.Why not, I was betrayed by the person I trusted the most.

I stroked his hair with my hand, his body froze suddenly, he raised his head and looked at me with burning eyes.After being silent for a long time, I finally whispered: "The princess treats me like this, I am only worried that I will get the wrong meaning."

I just felt that there were many things in his eyes that I couldn't bear, which was so hot that it made me flustered.I looked away, thought for a while and said, "I treat you well because I treat you as a friend. Don't misunderstand me, my lord."

In more than half a month, I will return to the Qing Dynasty, and then I will still resort to the extreme method of suicide.In my heart, I regard Li Rui as a friend of Xi Fengchao, so I naturally don't want him to have other feelings for me for no reason, and cause troubles.

He smiled when he heard the words, bandaged my wound with a white cloth and said: "I'll ask the kitchen to cook some ginger soup and bring it over later. It's raining a little, so I don't want to catch the cold."

I nodded and got up to go back to my room to rest.

But Li Rui looked at me and said, "It's still raining outside, so take a nap at my place first."

I really couldn't find a reason to refuse, so after changing into a set of clean clothes Xiaocui sent, I lay down again on the imperial concubine's couch, and wrapped his loose robe tighter.

Li Rui went back to the desk, lowered his head and sketched with a brush for a while, then looked up to see that I was still asleep.She bent her lips and smiled, and suddenly asked me: "The princess has many questions you want to ask me right now?"

I was indeed full of doubts, but on the surface I still shook my head and said, "No."

But he laughed loudly, put down the brush and said to me lightly: "Forget it. Since the princess can't sleep, I'll tell you a story."

When he told the story, his eyes became deeper, as if he was recalling a long history.I heard his clear voice slowly say: "Once upon a time, there was a prince who was the fourth eldest child. He loved reading since he was a child, and won the emperor's favor. He was named the crown prince when he was 12 years old. The mother is more expensive than the son, and this prince His mother was also promoted to a noble concubine. The prince is full of ambitions, and has the ambition to govern the country and the world. This should be a good thing for a country. But the bad thing is that the prince's father, the current emperor is suspicious by nature. At the age of 18, a certain county was hit by a flood, and the officials filled their own pockets and withheld relief supplies, which eventually aroused public resentment. The emperor listened to the slander of treacherous officials, but failed to realize the seriousness of the situation. So the prince wrote to the emperor, hoping to go there in person Relief in the disaster area. Later, the emperor agreed, and the prince calmed down the disaster. For a while, he was supported by the people and the ministers in the court, and he was killed. But the emperor heard people say that the prince intended to replace him. Ascend to the throne. In a fit of anger, the emperor cut off the crown prince, sent him to a county far away from the capital, and ordered him not to enter the palace again."
