When Prince Nan Huai saw her leave, he lowered his voice and said to the noble concubine, "Mother, today is a good opportunity. You must seize it."
The noble concubine looked at him and said, "Don't worry, you can leave Beijing first, but don't go too far. Stay nearby. I will send someone to pick you up in two days."
Prince Nan Huai was slightly startled, "Mother, do you have a way to make my son stay?"
"Yes, of course there is a way." The noble concubine smiled complacently, "You go ahead."
"Then..." Prince Nan Huai stepped forward, "Mother, why don't you tell me what the solution is?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Just go and wait for the news. Remember not to go too far, or you'll have to spend time coming back."
King Nan Huai felt somewhat uneasy, as he always felt that things were going too smoothly.
To be on the safe side, after leaving the palace, he immediately ordered his assassins that if the noble concubine did not take the five-day poison, she would be killed at all costs.
Sun Fang'er did not leave with King Nan Huai because his departure was just a cover and he would be back in two days. If Sun Fang'er followed him, the guards would definitely follow her for two days, so it would be better for him not to take her with him.
Ever since Sun Fang'er gave the Five-Day Poisonous Insect to King Nan Huai, she has always felt annoyed and uneasy.
That day she was strolling on the street and passed by Dingfenghao. She hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.
Hu Huanxi was a little surprised to hear that Sun Fang'er had come, and asked someone to invite her in.
After Sun Fang'er sat down, she didn't say anything, just sat there quietly.
Hu Huanxi was so busy that he really didn't have time to sit quietly with her, so he broke the silence and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Sun Fang'er shook her head blankly, "No, I was just passing by."
"Just passing by?" Hu Huanxi picked up the tea and offered her a drink. "Then drink some tea first. You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Sun Fanger shook her head again, "No."
"Prince Nan Huai is leaving the capital today, aren't you going with him?"
Sun Fanger picked up the cup and smelled it before taking a sip. "Are you eager for me to go with him?"
Hu Huanxi was stunned. Where should this start from
"There's no need for you to be so sharp. I'm just asking casually." Hu Huanxi said, thinking about how to get rid of her without leaving any trace and without offending her.
She is really busy.
Sun Fang'er put down the teacup and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
"It's okay." Hu Huanxi said.
Sun Fanger racked her brains, wanting to say something to Hu Huanxi, but she couldn't think of anything to say. Perhaps, she was really not suitable for communicating with others, so she said, "I'm leaving. I know you're busy, and I'm sorry to bother you."
Hu Huanxi had been eager for her to leave, but after hearing her say that, she found it strange. "Miss Sun, are you worried about something? If not, tell me about it."
Sun Fang'er thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing."
"Really?"
"I want to talk to someone, but I don't know who to talk to. Even if I talk to you, I don't have anything to say." Sun Fang'er said honestly.
Hu Huanxi simply stood up and picked up his cloak, "Come on, accompany me out to eat something, I'm hungry."
Sun Fang'er said "oh", stood up, and followed her closely, looking a bit like a young wife.
When they went outside, the cold wind blew. Hu Huanxi saw her shivering, so he frowned and said, "It's so cold today, and you don't even wear a cotton coat or a cloak? You really want beauty over life, don't you?"
She gave her her cloak and tied it on her with her own hands. "This cloak is not made of good material. Please wear it."
Sun Fang'er was a little at a loss, "This... Aren't you cold?"
"I'm wearing a down jacket inside, so I can keep out the cold. Besides, I'm strong. Look how frail you are." Hu Huanxi called for a carriage to come over and helped her get in.
Sun Fang'er seemed to be enjoying the warmth of being cared for. She lowered her head and said nothing, but the curve of her face was very gentle.
Hu Huanxi took her directly to Jufulou, which was opened by the Hu family, and found a private room in the garden to sit down.
There was a charcoal fire in the room, and it was very warm. Hu Huanxi said, "Take off your cloak. It's warm here. You'll feel hot after drinking some wine later."
Sun Fanger stretched out her hand to tighten her cloak and shook her head, "I don't drink, and I'm not hot."
Hu Huanxi smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you like it."
Dr. Hu Huanxi came over to order food and asked Sun Fanger, "What do you like to eat?"
Sun Fanger said, "Whatever."
Hu Huanxi smiled, "You are so easy-going."
But I secretly complain in my heart, and I hate it when people say whatever they want.
She ordered three signature dishes and asked someone to warm up a pot of wine. She drank a glass first to warm up her cold body. Seeing that Sun Fanger was looking at her, she poured her another glass and said, "You have a drink."
"Drink some." Sun Fang'er picked up the cup and really just drank a little, touching it with her lips.
Hu Huanxi couldn't help but laugh, "Are you afraid that I will poison you?"
Sun Fang'er shook her head, "No, drinking will make people lose their minds. I want to stay sober."
When Hu Huanxi heard this, she felt a little strange in her heart, because she had experienced this kind of life before.
"When you're with me, you don't need to be too defensive." Hu Huanxi meant what she said. As long as it didn't harm anyone, she really wouldn't care.
After hearing this, Sun Fanger looked at her in amazement and blurted out, "Why are you so nice to me?"
"Good?" Hu Huanxi felt puzzled. "I'm not particularly nice to you."
"But I've never met anyone who was so nice to me."
"Where are your master and your mother?" Hu Huanxi knew her past. He knew that she had harmed her master and Rouyao's biological mother, who was also her mother.
Sun Fanger shook her head. "Master is not kind to me. He always beats me. As for mother..."
Sun Fanger was silent for a moment. "She is nice to me, but she is different from Rouyao. She rarely scolds me, but she will scold Rouyao. She looks at Rouyao with affection, but looks at me with politeness."
Hu Huanxi looked at her and didn't want to say anything to comfort her. She had no way of knowing whether her master was good to her, but Madam Sun was good to her.
However, this was her own business, and Hu Huanxi had no intention of interrogating it.
Hu Huanxi simply said: "Sometimes, if we want to get something, we have to give something. The same is true for interpersonal relationships. If you want others to be sincere to you, you must first give your sincerity. In this world, except for your parents, no one will be kind to you for no reason."
These words were actually very naive, and many people understood them. Hu Huanxi felt that it was a bit redundant to tell Sun Fanger these obvious truths.
However, she really had nothing to say and overestimated her ability to withstand the wood.
However, after hearing what she said, Sun Fang'er looked thoughtful, as if she had never known this truth before.
The doctor warmed up another pot of wine and said with a smile: "Boss, this is the rice wine I brewed myself. Let me give you a taste."
"You brewed it? Then I really want to try it." Hu Huanxi said with a smile.
"Give me some advice. If it's not good, I'll come back and improve it." He poured wine for Hu Huanxi.
Hu Huanxi took a sip and smacked his lips. "It smells good. Not bad. It must have been steamed three times, right?"
The doctor smiled and said, "No, it's double distilled."
"Double distilled?" Hu Huanxi nodded, "Very good, this wine can be listed."
"Really?" The doctor was delighted. "Then I'll tell Shopkeeper Li about it later."
"Well, go ahead." Hu Huanxi said with a smile.
The doctor went out happily.
Sun Fanger was stunned by this scene and asked Hu Huanxi, "He is a doctor, why did you allow him to make wine?"
