The wind is warm and the sun is bright, and the time is graceful.
Gu Jiao woke up with the chirping of birds, she opened her eyes and found herself lying in an unfamiliar room.
With her temperament, she was bound to feel alert for the first time, but she didn't.
The pillows and quilts exude a familiar scent and aroma, which is inexplicably calming.
crunch —
The door was pushed open a small gap, and a tall figure flashed in.
It's Long Yi.
He grabbed a large spatula and walked into the house for a while.
Gu Jiao closed her eyes almost for a second.
Long Yi leaned down and stared at Gu Jiao for a long while, as if wondering why he clearly heard the movement, but this person didn't wake up.
Long Yi finally grabbed his spatula and went out.
Gu Jiao let out a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to be fed by Long Yi's spatula.
The breath on the bed and Long Yi standing at the door made Gu Jiao sure that her current situation was safe.
crunch —
The door was pushed open again, and Gu Jiao subconsciously closed her eyes - worried that Long Yi would make trouble again.
But what he heard was not Long Yi's footsteps.
Gu Jiao opened her eyes and turned to look in the direction of the door.
Xiao Heng walked towards the bed, saw her eyes open, and hurriedly asked, "Are you awake?"
"Hmm." Gu Jiao hummed.
Xiao Heng came to the bed, bent down, reached out his long jade-like hand and touched her forehead: "It's not hot anymore."
"How long have I slept?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Three days." Xiao Heng said.
"So long." Gu Jiao murmured.
"This is the house on Zhuque Street. I told my family that my mother has angina. You stay here and take care of her." Xiao Heng sat down on the stool beside the bed, looked at Gu Jiao carefully, and asked softly, "Is there any discomfort?"
Gu Jiao shook her head: "No, I just slept for a long time, and I felt a little weak."
"It's like this after you've slept for a long time, I'll help you get up and sit down."
Xiao Heng said this too late, because Gu Jiao had already planned to sit up by herself, and then Gu Jiao's small body froze in mid-air, her eyes moved, and she lay down: "It seems a little weak."
Xiao Heng: "..."
Xiao Heng helped someone who was "weak" up.
She was wearing thin pajamas, and his fingertips and palms could almost feel the softness of her arms.
Xiao Heng's eyelashes trembled slightly, he took a cushion and placed it behind her back, and then took a small jacket from the closet and put it on her.
It was the clothes that Princess Xinyang asked Xiu Niang to tailor for Gu Jiao, and the cabinets were full of them, but Princess Xinyang never said it, nor did she take the initiative to give it.
"Thank you." Gu Jiao put on her small jacket.
It was spring, and the weather was not so cold anymore, but in order to heal Gu Jiao's wounds, smokeless silver charcoal was still burned in the house.
With a small thin jacket on her upper body, Gu Jiao felt warm enough.
She touched her neck subconsciously, and found a safety talisman strung with a red string. She murmured.
Xiao Heng looked at the safety talisman on her neck and said, "It's not the original one. I can't find that one. My mother asked someone to make another one."
It was too chaotic at that time, the safety talisman had long been mixed with blood and mud, and Gu Jiao had lost her mind again, and there was no way to find it.
Xiao Heng sent someone to look for it, but the damage on the scene was so serious that the Ping An Fu had long since been broken into slag.
Gu Jiao's memory of taking off the safety talisman is a little intermittent. She knew that she had killed the master of the Yan Kingdom, but what happened after that? What happened to her after that
She opened her mouth: "Medicine..."
Xiao Heng said: "Deliver it, you brought the medicine into the capital and handed it over to the guards guarding the city. Xiao Qi's poison has been resolved, and he is recuperating in Kunning Palace. When you are free, I will bring him over to give it to you. Thank you."
Gu Jiao thought about it seriously: "I can't just thank you verbally."
Xiao Heng couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, let the Kunning Palace reward you with a lot of money."
"Where's Princess Xinyang's Long Yingwei?" Gu Jiao remembered that they were poisoned by insects.
Speaking of this, Xiao Heng had to be a little proud of her: "The medicine you brought back also contains the antidote for the poisonous insects, and Nanxiang Mistress has already helped them remove the residual poison from their bodies."
Gu Jiao said again: "Then my bug..."
Xiao Heng smiled: "At Nanxiang Shi Niang's place, Nan Xiang Shi Niang said that you have to keep that kind of worm, or it will die in two days. She will keep it for you first, and she will give it to you when you are cured."
Gu Jiao nodded.
So good.
Gu Jiao: "My red spear."
Xiao Heng: "I found it."
"Then..." Gu Jiao wanted to ask if she had hurt anyone, but when she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of the wound on Xiao Heng's neck.
Careful separation, not caused by sharp blades, but two rows of extremely eye-catching small teeth marks.
Gu Jiao suddenly said, "..."
Seeing that she saw it, Xiao Heng didn't hide it deliberately, and said narrowly, "Remember?"
Gu Jiao lowered her head and pointed her finger: "No."
Xiao Heng smiled and said, "It's really powerful."
Gu Jiao refused to admit it: "I didn't."
Xiao Heng suddenly stood up, leaned over to approach her, and whispered in her ear: "Next time I bite in another place, my colleagues are laughing at me."
Gu Jiao scratched her ears and said, "Oh."
Xiao Heng was almost amused, and he clicked to the point. After all, his own morality was not high, and if he continued to tease him, he would not know who he was blushing.
"There is millet porridge in the kitchen, I'll bring it to you."
"Um."
…
"want."
"Well, still."
"Good, there are too many, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it."
"I can take it, I want it."
Princess Xinyang just turned to the door of Gu Jiao's room when she heard such a thought-provoking sentence, what is "more"? What is "too much for fear that you won't be able to take it"
The sky is bright and the sky is bright, is it so unrestrained!
And that girl is injured, is it really good to be so indulgent!
"I don't even know how to close the door!"
Princess Xinyang breathed a sigh of relief, came to the edge, and was about to quietly reach out to close the door of the two of them.
"mother?"
Xiao Heng came out and looked strangely at Princess Xinyang who was clinging to the door in a very strange posture, "What are you doing?"
Princess Xinyang stared blankly at Xiao Heng who was fully dressed, blinked, turned her head again, and looked at Gu Jiao, who was sitting on the bed without a trace of mess, coughed lightly, and asked calmly, "It's nothing, I'll just do it. Pass by, come and have a look, there was something on the door just now, and now it's gone."
"Really?" Xiao Heng turned his head and looked at the door that was as clean as new.
"You..." Princess Xinyang's eyes fell on the empty bowl in Xiao Heng's hand, "Are you just drinking porridge?"
Xiao Heng said: "Second bowl, Jiaojiao is probably starving."
It turned out to be something to eat, and she said that what was needed was not enough, thinking that the two of them had finally come to their senses.
Princess Xinyang said solemnly, "I can't eat it anymore!"
Xiao Heng smiled: "Mother is right. Do you want to go in and see Jiaojiao?"
Princess Xinyang looked at the empty bowl in his hand, and said angrily, "It's so edible, do you still need to watch it? I'm here to find you!"
Xiao Heng said casually, "I don't know who came to see it three or four times a night."
"To shut up!"
Princess Xinyang showed a cold face and took someone to the study at the end of the corridor.
With Longyi guarding the yard, Princess Xinyang was not worried that someone would listen to her.
The mother and son sat down in front of and behind the study.
Princess Xinyang handed him a secret letter: "The person from Zhao State who was in and out of Zhuangzi has been found out. It is a staff member of the Zhuang family. His surname is Jiang and his name is Jiang Ping. The household registration and background are explained clearly, you can see for yourself."
Xiao Heng opened the secret letter, read it carefully, and said to Princess Xinyang, "Is Jiang Ping from Master Zhuang?"
Princess Xinyang said: "That's right, it's one of his confidants. It is said that many of the means to deal with Xuanping Marquis's mansion were the idea of this confidant."
Xiao Heng analyzed: "Since he is such an important confidant, the possibility of him being bribed by others is very low."
Princess Xinyang nodded: "Zhuang Taifu is very ambitious. After King Ning was placed under house arrest, he still did not give up. He went to visit King Ning every three or five times. On the surface, he was continuing the relationship between ancestors and grandchildren, but in fact he was inciting King Ning to rebel. Fortunately, King Ning My heart is dead, and I don't pay attention to him at all."
Xiao Heng said indifferently: "King Ning ignored him, and the Queen Mother no longer blessed him, so he still didn't give up."
Princess Xinyang snorted coldly: "Sitting in the clouds for a long time, I don't want to fall down. Mrs. Zhuang's ambition is too big, but the dealer with many holes can no longer support his ambition."
Xiao Heng thought of something and asked, "What is the identity of that General Nangong?"
Princess Xinyang said: "The sixteen major families of Yan Kingdom, the Nangong family ranks eleventh, I don't know if this is a general from the Nangong family, if so, then our opponents are really not small.
Don't look at the fact that the Nangong family didn't even make it into the top ten, but the Yan Kingdom was the most powerful Shang Kingdom in the past 30 years, and any family in the Yan Kingdom should not be underestimated.
However, the state of Yan has its own laws of the state of Yan, and even the Nangong family can't rashly raise troops and make trouble in the lower country. "
