Ting Lan stood in the crowd of people in the Poison Tower, also looking at Si Que's back as he left with You Yuji in his arms. Unlike others, she stayed on Si Que's back for a little longer.
The people around him gradually dispersed and started to get back to work on refining medicine.
Ting Lan still stood there. She turned around and looked at the abandoned prince of Chen State who was thrown into the pigsty. The host of the post went to such great lengths to personally officiate the wedding, it must be all for that woman, right
Ting Lan recalled You Yuji's face. She nodded, thinking that she was pretty.
"Just a piece of trash." She muttered to herself.
Just as he was about to leave, Tingyun turned around and looked at Tinglan, with a look of scrutiny. Tingyun crossed his arms and reminded him kindly: "For the sake of our fellow disciples, I kindly remind you to put away your inappropriate thoughts."
Ting Lan frowned and glared at Ting Yun: "You, you, you, don't you even know how to call me Senior Sister?"
She took a step towards Tingyun and whispered, "You must be very happy to be chosen by the host to serve him. You are getting more and more arrogant and don't care about the elders. Could it be that you have already climbed into his bed?"
"Are you sick?" Ting Yun sneered, "The reason why I was chosen by His Highness is because I am not mentally ill. Well, I am also sick today, so I shouldn't have kindly reminded you."
Tingyun turned around and left, not wanting to bother with her anymore.
Ting Lan took a step forward and said angrily, "Your Highness took us in to the Poison Tower to teach us poison techniques. Although we are not called master and apprentice, we are in fact master and apprentice. Your Highness is so kind, can you swear that you have never regarded Your Highness as someone you like?"
"Haha." Ting Yun sneered, "I only regard Your Highness as my ancestor, and I just want to serve him well."
Tingyun regretted saying that out of kindness. He had provoked such a sick person to keep nagging for a long time, which was really annoying. Although few people in the poison building were normal, this person was really a bad person.
What bad luck.
Just poison him to death.
Si Que walked back holding You Yuji. In the quiet secret passage, he lowered his eyes to look at You Yuji nestled in his arms, and suddenly he regretted bringing her to this wedding banquet.
He forced Chen Lu to marry a sow, which was really not what a gentleman did.
Would she... not like it
But he has bad behavior and is not a gentleman at all.
Si Que wanted to ask her something, but seeing that she was quietly nestling in his arms, he couldn't bear to wake her up. He carried her back to the room, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and stood by the bed with a gloomy look.
You Yuzhi woke up from a nap, was fed by Si Que, and then fell asleep again in a daze.
Si Que didn't have the chance to ask what he wanted to ask, and he was in a bad mood. He went to the poison pool with a cold face. He placed the copper coin on his index finger and flicked it with his thumb. The copper coin bounced up, threw out an arc, and fell into the poison pool. With a slight hissing sound, the copper coin had turned into water and merged into the poison pool.
Ting Lan came over holding an ancient book, secretly looked at Si Que's face, and said, "Your Highness, I saw a prescription in the "Book of All Poisons", but I really don't understand it. Can Your Highness help Ting Lan solve this puzzle?"
Si Que had a cold face, staring at the emerald green poisonous pool water in front of him. He didn't even look at her, and said in a cold voice: "Go ask Tingyun."
It’s Tingyun again!
Ting Lan bit her lip, slightly exerted force on the slender fingers holding the scroll, and said: "Junior sister may be very busy..."
Si Que did not hear what Ting Lan muttered in a low voice. He looked at the poison pool in front of him and felt annoyed. He suddenly did not know how to face You Yuji. He did not know whether he could let her know about the bad things he used to do.
Will she be disgusted by his meanness and absurdity
But she didn't like him wearing a mask and pretending to be good and weak in front of her.
Si Que’s expression became increasingly gloomy.
Ting Lanli carefully observed Si Que's expression. Seeing that he ignored her, she was disappointed, but soon relieved. Anyway... His Highness has been like this all these years, and never likes to talk to people. Ting Lan couldn't help but think of the gentle look His Highness gave You Yuji. If His Highness could look at her with that look, she would have no regrets even if she jumped into the poison pool immediately...
Ting Lan stood quietly beside Si Que for a while before silently walking away.
Tingyun stood on the upper platform with her arms folded, looking at Tinglan coldly. After Tinglan walked away, she quickly walked towards Sique and reported: "Your Highness, Tinglan called Madam a waste."
Si Que frowned gloomily, glanced at Ting Yun, and asked, "Did you hear someone scolding Madam for doing nothing?"
Tingyun choked, paused, answered yes, turned around and strode away. She knew what to do, and the poisonous insect in the glass bottle at her waist also knew it.
From the next day on, there was no more waiting in the poison building.
In the next two days, Si Que wanted to ask You Yuji a question. Either he was not sure about the words, or You Yuji was not in good spirits due to the effects of the poison, so he could not ask what he wanted to ask. Whenever he left You Yuji, his face turned cold instantly, which made everyone in the poison building tremble with fear. Every time they passed by Si Que, they were worried that they would be thrown into the poison pool.
The sky darkened, and the red light of the sunset shone into the house through the window. You Yuji opened her eyes.
"Madam, wake up!"
When You Yuji heard the brisk voice, she was stunned for a moment before looking in the direction of the voice.
Baohe smiled with a pair of dimples and sat happily on the edge of the bed.
"Baohe." You Yuji tried to sit up, and Baohe hurried over to help her.
"I was sleeping soundly in my room, but when I woke up I found myself in a pitch-black place. I was scared to death! Fortunately I saw Tingyun..." Baohe breathed a sigh of relief.
You Yuji shook her head helplessly. It was she who asked Si Que to bring Bao He here. But she didn't expect Si Que to send someone to kidnap Bao He. She was staying in the Poison Tower now, and the people around her would definitely worry about her. Although she had asked Si Que to send a message to Madam Jing, she still asked Si Que to find Bao He. She felt uneasy that Si Que would take care of everything, and she also wanted to hear from Bao He what happened after the accident.
Baohe is always talkative, and she told You Yujie all the important events in the capital during this period.
The first incident was that the owner of the Poison Tower detonated gunpowder during the Lantern Festival Banquet, causing countless casualties among the royal relatives and important ministers who were attending the banquet that day.
"What are the casualties like?" You Yuji asked in a gentle voice.
Si Que had just walked to the door when he heard You Yuzhi's question. He stopped and stood outside the door to listen.
"It is said that nearly half of the people were injured or killed. Even the Prince of Jinnan was injured, but the prince's injury was minor and not a big deal. His Majesty was so shocked and angry that he fell ill!"
Bao He continued to talk, and Si Que listened impatiently. He just wanted to know You Yuji's reaction. But he waited for nothing. After Bao He finished speaking, there was a silence in the room, and You Yuji did not speak.
After a while, Baohe spoke again, this time talking about how concerned Princess Jinnan was after You Yuzhi was kidnapped.
“… Madam Jing said that Madam’s rescue of this man was not in vain!”
You Yuji nodded and said, "In this case, we should send the news to the princess so that she can feel at ease."
"That's exactly what I mean!"
You Yuji yawned softly, and began to feel weak again. She lay down again, but did not continue to sleep. Instead, she asked Baohe softly about other things, such as whether there was any news about Lin Yingying, how her mother was doing, and the You family's business...
Si Que didn't continue listening and turned to go downstairs.
The poison had been prepared and filled an entire carriage.
Si Que stood on the stone steps under the eaves and looked towards Si Lang.
Si Lang had just ordered his men to carry the poison carefully. When he saw Si Que from afar, his eyes paused, then replaced by a kind and friendly smile.
"Thank you very much, brother. With your help, we will surely defeat the Chen army again and again."
Si Que smiled, twisted the copper coin between his fingers, and said slowly: "There is no need to be polite between brothers. If you need anything else I have, I will definitely help you."
Si Lang was stunned for a moment. He had to admit that at this moment, he was a little tempted. The hidden power of the Poison Tower was really tempting. If the poison of the Poison Tower could be continuously transported from the rear, it would definitely allow him to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
He smiled and said, "Aque is right. You and I are one and the same. There is no need to be polite. If these poisons are not enough, it would be even better if Aque could continue to give some to me, brother."
"Okay." Si Que agreed with a smile without any hesitation.
Si Lang still had doubts in his heart. He was a little confused about Si Que's sudden change of attitude and willingness to help. Fortunately, he had secretly verified that the poison Si Que gave him was real. He suppressed his doubts and kept a kind smile on his face: "It's getting late, I will set off now."
"I'm here to send my brother, the prince, off." Si Que twirled the copper coin between his fingers, slowly walked through the corridor in the courtyard, walked to the carriage, and personally sent the person to the entrance of the alley.
He stood at the entrance of the alley, watching Si Lang's carriage go farther and farther away with a smile.
He stopped turning the coin, suddenly threw it high up, then lowered his eyes, waiting for the coin to fall to the ground and everything to calm down.
Reverse side.
Si Que looked at Si Lang's receding back again and muttered to himself slowly, "I hope that my prince brother will succeed in his rebellion soon."
The corners of his lips curled up into a strange smile, and after a moment of silence, he added slowly: "Don't let your brother down."
Si Lang's carriage disappeared from sight, and Si Que turned back. He went up to the second floor, entered the room, and saw You Yuji sleeping on the bed. His gloomy expression suddenly cleared, and even his steps became lighter.
He walked towards You Yuji and just sat down beside the bed when Bao He came in from outside and stared at Si Que with wide eyes in shock.
Si Que raised his eyes and glanced over. Bao He subconsciously took a step back, his body still stiff there, unable to move.
"go out."
Bao He reacted belatedly and turned to leave. She closed the door and stood at the door in a daze, still in a daze.
Princess Que in a black dress with a red belt is totally different from the Princess Que in her impression!
No, no, no, it's not about black or white! It's that Princess Que is wearing men's clothes! Why did Princess Que dress up as a man? Was it to please the lady
Bao He scratched his head and walked forward slowly, muttering softly: "Princess Que looks so good in men's clothing..."
The next day, You Yuzhi woke up earlier than usual.
"Sister." Si Que hugged her from behind and rubbed her neck with his cheek.
"Yeah." You Yuji responded softly, and reached out to touch his hand on her waist in a daze. As soon as her slender fingertips touched the back of Si Que's hand, he held her whole hand in his palm.
Si Que buried his face in the back of You Yuji's neck and asked in a low voice: "Is my sister going to dislike me for being so bad?"
You Yuji's slightly curled eyelashes trembled lazily, and she slowly opened her eyes, her bright eyes showing a dazed look as if she had not yet fully awakened.
She didn't reply, and Si Que held her hand even tighter.
"You have bad conduct, mood swings, and you get angry easily." Si Que sighed heavily in an exaggerated manner, and then rubbed the back of You Yuji's neck with his face, with a tone of depression that he didn't know whether it was real or pretended: "I am so bad, my sister must be very annoyed in her heart. There are so many good men in this world, they are all upright and upright gentlemen, and they can always stay rational. Unlike me, my heart is full of my sister, and my emotions are all controlled by my sister. When I know someone is bullying my sister, I lose all my rationality."
You Yuji listened to him silently and narrowed her eyes.
Si Que waited for a long time but didn't hear any response from You Yuji. Unable to wait any longer, he grabbed You Yuji's shoulders and turned her around.
The author has something to say: Sister: What? I have a love rival? I slept with him and he disappeared
I'm writing the ending very slowly, so I probably won't be able to update twice a week recently. If I do, consider it a surprise. (The ending doesn't mean the end will be in three or five chapters, it won't be that fast)
