[Douluo Dalu] Hu Liena

Qian Jifeng smelled the resentment in the maid's tone, but did not blame her, nor did she look back at the two of them. She still nibbled on the melon seeds in her hand and said with a calm expression: "Why are you here? I have been waiting here for a long time!" 2

He obviously didn't say this to the maid.

The maid knew that Qian Jifeng had not personally agreed to let Hu Liena come here to keep him awake yesterday. Bibi Dong had calculated the time for him to take a bath, and asked her to invite Hu Liena on the pretext of staying up late. Unexpectedly, she would be so panicked when Qian Jifeng caught the two of them in the courtyard.

The maid had been with Bibi Dong for some time and had seen wind and waves. This kind of scene was nothing to her. Before Hu Liena could answer, she took Qian Jifeng's words and said: "Your Majesty, since you are coming , why don’t you send someone to inform me, so I don’t have to make a special trip to Fengchen Palace to ask for Miss Xunyue!”

Qian Jifeng's face darkened and she said in a cold voice: "The people around my mother are really getting more and more unruly. What do I do and don't do? When will you, a maid, be in charge of me?"

The maid paused for a moment and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "My majesty is joking. I am just a servant. I don't dare to ask more about my master. It's just that my majesty has never been here during festivals in the past, so I asked too much." , it is my servant who deserves to be displeased!"

The maids and attendants of Wuhun Palace all know the character of their crown prince. In the past, no one dared to talk to Qian Jifeng like this, because they knew that the only result of offending him would be death. Qian Jifeng seemed to have some scruples today. The maid repeatedly used words to irritate him, but he did not get angry and patiently said: "You are the person next to my mother, so you should know how to be careful in your words and actions!"

"I'm usually busy with government affairs and can't get away. Today is New Year's Eve and I have to spend time with my mother. I will stay here with my mother tonight!"

The maid doesn't know what Qian Jifeng's intention is in staying here? But she knew that Bibi Dong definitely didn't want him to stay here tonight. She could not stop him, nor could she worry about her master. She could only bow down and bow again before retreating.

Although Hu Liena didn't know the past, she could still hear some clues from the conversation between Qian Jifeng and the maid. The mother and son were not as harmonious as they appeared. From the first time Qian Jifeng brought her here, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

The maid stepped back, not wanting to linger in the courtyard, and walked along the path paved with soft stones towards the house.

Qian Jifeng knew where she wanted to go and said, "My mother is not in the house, so there is no need to go in. You and I just need to wait in the pavilion!"

Hearing this, Hu Liena stopped walking, turned to look at him, and asked, "Where did the teacher go?"

Qian Jifeng turned his back to her, still looking at the rock osmanthus plant, thoughtfully.

"Mom went to make soup. Since you are here, mother's soup should be ready!"

Make soup? Hu Liena was a little confused. There were all the maids in the courtyard. Why did the teacher make the soup himself?

Just as he was thinking about it, Bibi Dong came from behind the arch carrying a tray. Seeing herself from a distance, she ran over quickly, looked at her nervously, and said with concern: "Nana, are you okay?"

Hu Liena didn't know why Bibi Dong was so nervous. She held her hand and said, "Teacher, I'm fine. What's wrong with you?" 3

Seeing Hu Liena's confused expression, Bibi Dong felt relieved. She picked up the tray she had put aside and walked to the pavilion. Hu Liena followed behind her.

What was placed on the table was not the soup in Qianji Fengkou, but a small white jade bowl containing tea-colored soup that looked like medicine. Next to the small white jade bowl were several small medicine bottles of different shapes.

Qian Jifeng said with a trace of resentment: "My mother never believed what I said. She is standing here now, can she prove that I did not lie to you?"

Bibi Dong said coldly: "I have prepared the soup you asked for, but I still need a medicine guide."

Qian Jifeng thought that Bibi Dong was deliberately making things difficult, and said in a bad tone: "I wonder what the medicine is that mother is talking about?"

Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena and said warmly: "Nana, stretch out your hand!"

Hu Liena didn't know what she meant, but she unconsciously followed the teacher's instructions and placed her palms flat in front of her. Bibi Dong traced her palm with her fingertips, and a few drops of red blood dripped into the white jade bowl.

Qian Jifeng finally stopped looking at the rock osmanthus plant. The scene in front of him surprised him. He did not expect that Hu Liena's blood was the medicine primer in Bibi Dong's mouth.

Qian Jifeng believed that she knew a lot about poisons and medicines. She fell into the trap set by Leng Ruqing this time. She only accidentally lost sight of the medicine when she put it into wine with a smell that matched its smell. He thought it was Bibi Dong who used such despicable methods on him in order to take Hu Liena away. It was only after arriving at Nanyuan that I learned the name of this medicine: Love Flower Mist. Bibi Dong was extremely disgusted when she saw him taking this medicine, and wished to expel him from Nanyuan, and the look on her face when she told the name of this medicine was extremely hateful. Therefore, in the view of the suspicious Qian Jifeng, Bibi Dong did not do this.

In fact, Bibi Dong only learned that Hu Liena's blood had detoxifying effects half a year ago. At that time, because the soul masters who had joined her party were poisoned one after another, Bibi Dong refined various antidotes to detoxify the soul masters. But I don’t know why, some soul masters can eliminate the poison from their bodies within a few days after taking the antidote, while some soul masters take the antidote but it has no effect. Much later, Bibi Dong discovered that the effective antidote was only effective because Hu Liena accidentally knocked it over, cut her finger, and mixed it with her blood. Unfortunately, it was too late when they discovered it, and most of the soul masters died from the poison of the Netherworld Flower.

Hu Liena didn't look directly at Qian Jifeng until he looked at the small white jade bowl in front of him, then she realized that his face was glowing with a faint pink color, half of the flower-shaped pattern was exposed on the collar of his neck, and his eyes were filled with red. The bloodshot eyes seemed to be holding back something.

So he asked: "Teacher, what's wrong with him?"

Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Jifeng with disgust and said sarcastically: "He has indulged in sex all day long, and today I'm afraid some woman just wants to spend the night with him..."

As Bibi Dongzheng was talking, Qian Jifeng coughed a few times and his face became extremely gloomy. Seeing this, Bibi Dong stopped talking.

Qian Jifeng's reaction surprised her, and a thought flashed in her mind when she looked at Hu Liena. If her guess is correct, all the things that she couldn't figure out in recent days can be connected one by one and explained. Thinking of this, she felt more worried, and she hoped that her guess was wrong.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena couldn't help but look surprised. What surprised her was not Qian Jifeng's personal affairs, but the thought that with his status in Wuhun Palace and his scheming, he would be plotted against. From this point of view, the Wuhun Palace where she grew up was not as beautiful as she imagined.

Qian Jifeng drank the decoction prepared by Bibi Dong in one gulp and sat cross-legged on the spot to expel the poison for herself.

Bibi Dong took out another bottle of medicine, gently applied it on Hu Liena's scratched hand, and then slowly wrapped it around with gauze.

He said warmly: "Does it hurt?"

Hu Liena shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt!"

The maid seemed to have finished her work and came to the courtyard. She bowed to Bibi Dong and said, "Madam, the ingredients for the cakes you ordered have been prepared. The slave has brought them to Madam's room. It's windy here. Madam and girl, it’s better to go back to the house early!”

Bibi Dong knew that his son would never go back like this.

So he said to the maid: "Feng'er is here tonight. Go to the kitchen and get the recipe. Let him pick out a few of his favorite foods. You can follow them. Also, call all the maids in his palace and follow his instructions. It is my daily habit to prepare fragrant bathing water, so as not to neglect Your Majesty."

After saying that, he and Hu Liena wanted to go back to the house.

The pink color on Qian Jifeng's face had faded, and the flower pattern on his collar was much lighter. He knew that Bibi Dong wanted to drive him away, but how could he let her get her wish.

He said in a deep voice: "There is no need to go to such trouble. Since I have to stay up late with my mother, I will eat whatever my mother eats. If my mother wants to go back to the house, I should follow her!"

"The fire in your body has just faded away, so it's best to enjoy the cool breeze in the pavilion."

Hearing this, Qian Jifeng said again: "Mother just prepared good medicine for Feng'er. Feng'er is already well. Besides, Feng'er also wants to taste the cakes made by mother. It must still taste the same as when she was a child!"

With that said, he got up and followed the two of them towards the house.

During the You hour, the maid lit a few lamps in the room, and Bibi Dong and Hu Liena sat around the table, making various pastries with exquisite patterns.

Qian Jifeng sat alone by the window, her eyes never leaving the two of them, for fear of Bibi Dong playing some tricks or missing any clues. It wasn't a big worry that Hu Liena had lost her memory, but he knew very well what kind of person Bibi Dong was. She had been able to contend with Qian Daoliu for many years on her own, which showed that her wisdom and scheming were beyond the reach of ordinary people. If he doesn't notice it, his plan will be ruined.

Bibi Dong knew Qian Lonely Feng was watching closely, so she would not tell Hu Liena the truth at this time. She could only teach her how to make some pastries she liked, and then find an opportunity to tell her the truth in the future.

Seeing that the two of them were just making pastries, Qian Jifeng gradually let down her guard. Looking at it, I couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. I remembered that when I was a child wandering around, I always watched other people's families enjoying themselves every New Year's Eve, and I didn't know how envious I was.

At this moment, there was a feeling in his heart that he had never felt before. He didn't know what this feeling was called. Maybe it was the warmth that only belonged to other people's homes that he had seen before. Maybe this was the taste of home that he had always envied.
