A car accident, our family of three crossed

Xiao Ke looked at the minister kneeling on the ground, then at the white-bearded old man and Xiao Yun, feeling unwilling to accept the fact, and questioned: "I have only heard of the name of the Poison Lord Xin Baizi but never seen him in person. How can you be sure that he is the Poison Lord himself..."

He was halfway through his words when he found that he was suddenly unable to make any sound, as if a hand was strangling his throat. No matter how he tried to open his mouth, he could not make any sound, and even breathing became increasingly difficult.

"It's not good for young people to be too noisy. They should talk less."

It's you...

Xiao Ke pinched his own neck with one hand and pointed at the white-bearded old man with the other. His face turned red and he was silently angry.

Xiao Yun couldn't hide his smile. After watching the fun for a while, he advised without sincerity: "Okay, old man, don't go too far. My second brother is young and energetic, so don't bother with him."

"He is your brother, not my brother." The old man said arrogantly.

"Yes, yes, you have already taught him a lesson, so just let him go. We still have to go and treat our father, so business is more important."

"That's your business, not mine." The old man started to act coquettishly. "The old emperor's death has nothing to do with me. I was tricked by you and came here. If I had known that I was going to treat the old emperor, I wouldn't have come even if you had carried a sedan chair with eight people."

Such outrageous words came out of the old man's mouth, but no one dared to say anything. If he angered people and they quit their jobs, who would be able to treat Your Majesty?

Only Xiao Yun didn't take his complaints seriously. He put away his smile and straightened his face, raising his voice slightly: "You old man, you are getting ahead of yourself, right? Hmm? Untie me."

Under the gaze of everyone, the old man who was just puffing his beard and glaring suddenly became cowardly.

"I'll solve it, why are you so fierce? You're just like your fierce mother."

The old man waved his sleeves reluctantly at Xiao Ke, and Xiao Ke suddenly felt as if he was freed from his restraints. He fell into a chair, stroking his neck and breathing heavily, breaking out in a cold sweat in this hot summer day.

"People say that I am a child. When I get old, I tend to act like a child. I'm sorry to make you laugh." Xiao Yun said to everyone.

Everyone hurriedly said they dared not. How could they dare to make fun of others? They could offend no one but this old man who used poison, otherwise they would die without knowing how.

"Mr. Du will go to the Health Palace to treat my father. Do you want to go with him?"

"We will go together, please, Lord Du."

For the safety of His Majesty, no one dares not to go, even if they have to pretend.

When they arrived at the Yangxin Palace, all the officials were waiting outside the palace. Only Xiao Yun, Xiao Ke and the old prime minister followed the old man into the inner room. Having learned a lesson, Xiao Ke never dared to speak nonsense again.

After taking the emperor's pulse, the old man said that detoxification would not be difficult, but the emperor was in serious health and the poisoning had damaged his foundation, so it would take time for him to wake up.

Xiao Yun entrusted this important task to the old man, who was fully responsible for it, and ordered all the imperial doctors in the palace to obey him and not to make any mistakes.

After settling the old man down and making some insignificant promises, Xiao Yun was able to get away.

The carriages of Prince Rui's Mansion and Prince An's Mansion were waiting outside the palace gate. The drivers of Prince Rui's Mansion were Chu Er and Chu Shisan. They looked expressionlessly at the sword-wielding guard standing on the opposite side of Prince An's carriage.

On the surface, he was as calm as if he was looking at a stranger he had never met before, but in fact, he wished to grind him into ashes.

Xiao Yun and Xiao Ke walked out of the palace one after another. He also noticed the guard from Prince An's mansion approaching him.

The guard bowed his head awkwardly and saluted Xiao Yun. He had managed to remain calm under the gazes of the two Chu guards just now, but now under Xiao Yun's gaze, he felt doubly oppressed and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

Xiao Yun turned around and asked Xiao Ke: "When did you raise such a subordinate? I have never seen you bring him with you."

Xiao Ke said proudly: "My royal brother, you don't know that this is my capable subordinate. I assigned him some tasks a few years ago and he was not around. I only called him back to the capital recently."

"I see." Xiao Yun said, "I haven't had him around for many years, so I'm afraid he's become unfamiliar to me!"

He looked at the guard again and said with a sneer, "He looks like a dog that doesn't like to bark. As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark. Second brother, you better be careful and don't let your dog bite you back."

After saying that, Xiao Yun laughed loudly, flicked his long sleeves, got on his carriage, and drove away, leaving behind the furious Xiao Ke and the guards who were sweating profusely.

Shangtang Village, far away in Pingyang County, has been unusually lively in recent days. Many people have been secretly trying to test Shuisheng's attitude and find out whether he has any plans to get married.

But since Shuisheng's family only had two brothers and no elders, many people found Song Ning. Just because their two families were close and Shuisheng was willing to listen to Hang Shuheng on weekdays, they wanted to ask Song Ning to mediate.

Song Ning was very helpless about this. He said that although his family was close to Shuisheng, they were of a different generation, and he was not yet at the stage where he could arrange his marriage for him. He suggested that the visitor should just ask him directly.

Everyone said that it was against the rules to come to the person's house and talk to him directly. Song Ning didn't know much about this, so he finally agreed to help everyone test the waters.

So when Hang Shuheng brought Yangyang to Shuisheng's house, Song Ning also went with him and mentioned this matter to Shuisheng while chatting.

"I heard that many families in the village have been asking about your marriage recently. There are also people from other villages. What do you think about this matter?"

"Ah? Asking about my marriage?"

Shuisheng just buried his head in his work. Hang Shuheng happened to give him a batch of new drawings, so he buried himself in the shed and turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. He had no idea that the villagers were privately inquiring about his marriage.

"Yes!"

"Why do you want to know about my marriage?"

"Because I want to ask you to marry me! Just tell me if you have ever thought about getting married!"

"I, I..." Shuisheng was a little confused as it was the first time he encountered such a thing. "I don't know either. I have never thought about this."

Song Ning laughed when he heard this. This guy hasn't figured it out yet!

"Come to think of it, Shuisheng is seventeen this year, right?"

"Uh, yeah!"

"Actually, you're still young!" In their era, seventeen years old was just a high school student, but in this era, it's already the age to get married. "This is a lifelong event, you can't be careless. Maybe in the future you will meet a woman who makes your heart beat, and then you will naturally consider this matter."

Although Shuisheng had never thought about his marriage, he couldn't help feeling a little shy when someone discussed it with him.

He thought, maybe he would really meet a woman in the future, and then live an enviable life like Uncle Hengzi and Aunt Hengzi.

So, Song Ning thought: She has also sounded out the issue, right?

If the client comes to her again, she will have an excuse to refuse.
