"Although I don't know the owner of the Poison Building, I think people who have made achievements in one area are always remarkable."

You Yuji's gentle words came into Si Que's ears from outside the door. His eyelashes drooped slightly, and he paused for a moment in eating the chrysanthemum pastry before continuing.

Jiang Chun leaned on You Yuji's shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't say that anymore. It's my narrow-mindedness, my prejudice, and my judgment of others."

As she spoke, she laughed out loud, holding You Yuji's hand and shaking it gently, saying coquettishly: "But I'm really scared, I can't... ah—"

Jiang Chun exclaimed, picked up You Yuji's hand, looked at the gauze wrapped around her hand, and asked anxiously: "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with your hand?"

"It was just a choke from the horse's reins. It's nothing." You Yuzhi explained.

Jiang Chun suddenly realized and laughed again: "I heard from Zhao Sheng that many people in Beijing are still talking about how you tamed the horse to save people that day. Some people are even painting your portrait!"

You Yuji shook her head and said, "It's very different from riding a horse on the grassland, and it can't be considered horse training."

After all, she still missed the grassland.

"By the way, I heard from Zhao Sheng that there is a job transfer and your cousin might come to Chenjing." Jiang Chun, who couldn't sit still for a moment, changed his posture, put one leg on the couch, and sat on his calf.

"Really?" You Yuji was surprised.

Jiang Chun shook his head: "Zhao Sheng also heard about it, it seems that he hasn't decided yet. If your cousin comes to Beijing, he might bring Xuanying to you!"

You Yuji thought for a while, sighed, and said with emotion: "The grassland is more suitable for it."

The two of them exchanged a few more words, and Jiang Chun took You Yuzhi to walk around the palace with her, and the two of them left quickly.

In the inner room, Si Que ate the last bit of chrysanthemum crisps before he said, "Yuan Yuan?"

With a low laugh, he recited it slowly again: "Yuanyuan."

When it was almost evening, Zhao Sheng came to pick Jiang Chun up in person, and Jiang Chun reluctantly said goodbye to You Yuji. You Yuji turned around and went back to her room, but Si Que was no longer in her bedroom. She glanced in the direction of the east wing.

Si Que didn't come that night either.

You Yuji waited for a while until it was dark, and asked Zhenxu to send a tonic soup to Si Que. After Zhenxu delivered the food, she came back to report that she did not see Si Que, and gave the food to Liufeng, who said that Si Que was not feeling well and went to bed early.

You Yuji frowned and was stunned for a long time before she stood up, walked to the bed, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out the booklet inside.

She opened the booklet and placed it on her knees. The page she opened was a calendar she had written by hand. The days circled in red ink were the most fertile periods.

She closed the booklet and held it to her chest, then slowly lay down on the bed and fell into deep thought.

She was originally waiting for the Empress Dowager Cixi to return to Beijing so that she could make public the fact that she and Chen Anzhi had divorced and leave with a clear conscience.

But now she couldn't help but wonder, what if she wasn't pregnant when the Empress Dowager returned to Beijing? Well, even if she was pregnant at that time, and she left with the child, what would Si Que do

What should Cuiyu, Lin Yingying and Chun Xing do

Si Que raised her eyelashes and looked at her smiling face which suddenly appeared in front of You Yuzhi, and her mood became gloomy.

Will he be sad if she leaves

The scene of Si Que lowering his eyes and calling her sister in a depressed mood seemed to really appear in front of You Yuji's eyes.

She couldn't help but think that Si Que was in such poor health that he had stopped taking the medicine to help her get pregnant. What if Chen Anzhi didn't care about his last bit of dignity and came to bully Si Que? If his disguise was exposed, it would be a capital crime.

You Yuji sighed softly and turned over in annoyance. She was so troubled that she couldn't fall asleep.

Baisui jumped onto the bed, retracted his sharp claws, and then used his little paws to pat You Yuji's hand.

You Yuji opened her eyes and looked at it: "Bai Sui, I'm not in the mood to play with you."

She held Baisui in her arms and rubbed her cheek against its furry head.

Si Que did not go to bed early, but went out of the Jinnan Palace. When he came back, it was already the middle of the night, and most of the lights in the Jinnan Palace had been extinguished.

He took off the blood-red mask on his face and washed the blood off his hands expressionlessly.

Tingyun handed him a clean handkerchief and said, "Your Highness, if you want to kill someone, just tell Tingyun."

She had been living peacefully in the palace as an ordinary maid for too long and had not killed anyone for a long time.

Si Que wiped his hands slowly and said, "Someone is checking the drug building."

Tingyun immediately said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. They won't find anything."

"No." Si Que folded the towel he had used to wipe his hands and placed it on the edge of the basin. He looked at the bloodstains mixed in the still rippling water, slowly raised the corner of his lips, and said, "It's almost the New Year, so I'll open the door for business. I welcome buyers who are not afraid of death to come and take care of the business."

Tingyun was stunned for a moment before he said yes.

The Poison Tower is not a single location, but has branches in various places in the twelve countries, but the exact location is unknown. Or, there is no fixed location, and wherever the person in charge is, that is the Poison Tower.

The next morning, You Yuji woke up very early. After a simple wash, she hurried to the east wing, still worried about Si Que's body.

Zhenxu was about to go to the kitchen when Baohe pulled her to the corner.

"What's wrong?" Zhenxu asked, "I still have to go to the kitchen to do something."

"Do you think Madam is absent-minded this morning?" Baohe lowered his voice.

Zhenxu thought about it and nodded.

Bao He said nervously, "Do you think Madam and Princess Que are very close? Even sisters don't often sleep in the same bed, right? And I saw Madam and Princess Que sleeping together yesterday!"

Baohe made a hugging gesture.

"Princess Que didn't come last night, and this morning our Madam was absent-minded. She didn't even have breakfast and hurried to see Princess Que!"

Zhenxu frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

There were some things Bao He was embarrassed to say. She stamped her feet anxiously and struggled for a while before she said, "Our Madam doesn't care about the prince at all. Could it be because Madam doesn't like men anyway?"

The pillow opened its eyes wide.

"Pillow Xu, have you ever heard of the benefits of polishing a mirror?"

The pillow let out a slight "Ah" and was so frightened that he almost lost his balance.

"What are you talking about here so early in the morning?" Madam Jing appeared behind him at some point and scolded him with a stern face.

Baohe was startled and quickly shut up.

"And you," Madam Jing scolded Zhenxu, "talking nonsense to this outrageous girl!"

"I dare not!" Zhenxu lowered her head.

"Go do something!"

Zhenxu and Baohe hurriedly lowered their heads and walked away quickly.

Madam Jing stared at their backs unhappily until they could no longer be seen. Then she turned around, frowned and looked towards the east wing, worry in her eyes.

At this time, You Yuzhi was sitting beside Si Que's bed, staring at him with a frown.

Si Que was still sleeping and hadn't woken up.

She had heard from Liu Feng that Tingyun knew medicine and had been treating Si Que. She had originally intended to look for Tingyun when she came here, but he was not there.

She sat beside the bed for a while, and Tingyun came back. She then quietly went to the outer room and asked Tingyun about Si Que's identity.

"Madam, you should have heard that His Highness has been weak since childhood and has been taking medicine to prolong his life. Now that he has stopped taking the medicine, he will naturally become weaker and weaker."

You Yuji asked anxiously, "How long can he stop taking the medicine?"

Tingyun looked embarrassed and said, "According to what I said, you shouldn't stop taking the medicine for even a day. If you stop taking it for a day, it will be one day less."

You Yuji was stunned.

A light cough was heard from the inner room, and You Yuji quickly turned around and walked to the bed. She suppressed her emotions and slowly put on a gentle smile to Si Que. She asked softly, "Are you awake? It's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Si Que didn't say anything. He looked at You Yujie and called her "Sister" in a low voice.

"Yeah." You Yuzhi bent down and straightened the corner of the quilt that was folded up on the side of Si Queli.

She was very close to him, Si Que looked at her carefully and asked, "Why are the corners of your eyes red, sister?"

You Yuji didn't explain, but said, "Sleep a little longer? Sister will lie down with you for a while."

You Yuji got up and walked outside, instructing Liu Feng to go to the kitchen and tell Zhenxu to bring her and Si Que's breakfast to the hall in half an hour, as she and Si Que wanted to sleep for a while longer.

Liu Feng responded with a smile. She trotted over to find Ting Yun, nudged him with her elbow, and said, "It's really good!"

Tingyun didn't want to pay attention to her and watched the poisonous spiders in the bowl mating carefully.

You Yuji returned to the inner room and lay down beside Si Que. Si Que turned over and naturally put his face in her arms. You Yuji did not push him away, but hugged him gently.

You Yuji made a decision.

—Preparing for pregnancy is a long process. Even if you are pregnant, it cannot be diagnosed immediately. She can't let Si Que stop taking the medicine for several months. She can't be so selfish anymore. She wants to end her relationship with Si Que.

When You Yuji and Si Que went to the flower hall, several concubines had already arrived.

Cui Yu looked at the two people strangely. Seeing them sitting together for breakfast, she couldn't help but lean over to Lin Yingying's ear and said, "Don't you think the Madam and the Princess are too close?"

"What are you two talking about?" You Yuji looked over with a smile.

"Nothing!" Cui Yu immediately changed her tone, "By the way! Madam, do you know that the other two of the three dogs we met at Qingyaju that day also had their arms broken!"

You Yuji was stunned for a moment before realizing that Cuiyu was talking about Yi Yuhuan, Liu Yaping and Zhou Wenlian.

"It has spread this morning. Last night, Liu Yaping and Zhou Wenlian were also infected with that strange poison and cut off their hands. I wonder if it was Yi Yuhuan who gave it to them."

Lin Yingying smiled and continued, "Although I don't know who they offended, it can be regarded as helping our wife vent her anger!"

You Yuji frowned, thinking about this matter. She didn't care about the fate of these people, nor was she happy, but she thought of the fake death drug that Jiang Chun mentioned.

The fake death drug was from the Poison House, and the poison that the three of them were poisoned with was also from the Poison House. Maybe, she could really find the Poison House? She decided to send someone to inquire about the Poison House.

Si Que ate the deer milk slowly, with no expression on his face.

Sometimes, he doesn't like to take credit.

You Yuji put away her thoughts and looked at Si Que, thinking that she should find a chance to talk things out with him today.

Si Que raised his eyes, looked over and smiled at her.

Cuiyu looked at this scene and blinked in curiosity. To her, why did this scene seem like a flirtation

There is a two-story library in the backyard of Tanxiang Yingyue. The first floor is used as a warehouse, and only some books are placed on the second floor.

In the afternoon, You Yuzhi was absent-mindedly flipping through a book on the second floor.

"Sister, are you worried about something?" Si Que asked.

Since waking up, Si Que has been following You Yuji all day. Whenever she comes to the library, he follows her too.

You Yuji let out a sigh of relief, put the book down, looked at Si Que and said solemnly: "Si Que, I don't need you to help me get pregnant."

"Sister, have you chosen someone else?"

You Yuji was about to deny it, but in order to make him give up, she chose to remain silent. She couldn't bear to look into Si Que's eyes, so she stood up in a panic and took two steps out, putting some distance between them and staying away from his scent.

She turned her back to Si Que and said cruelly, "Your health is not good, I'm afraid it will be passed on to the child. I won't need you in the future!"

"My sister doesn't want me anymore..."

You Yuji felt distressed when she heard Si Que's depressed and pitiful tone.

But there was a bright smile on his lips and a crazy fire rose in his eyes.

The next moment, You Yuji heard the sound of the window being pushed.

You Yuji was startled and turned around immediately, but Si Que was no longer there. Only the cool breeze came in through the open window, blowing the book open under the window and making it flutter wildly.

The author has something to say: Little Princess: It’s fun hehe
