Drunk Bamboo

"I'm about to throw up! It's poisonous!"

Hua Qinfeng snatched the remaining half of the almond cookie from her hand and threw it on the ground.

"I've tried it with a silver needle, and found that only the almond powder attached to the surface is raw, but the amount is very small. It won't be a problem if you eat a few slices." Xie Yuzhu patted the almond biscuit crumbs on his hands, looking relaxed and unconcerned.

"If it's poisonous, it's poisonous. Do you still care how much it is? You're going to vomit! I'll take you to see the imperial physician!" Hua Qinfeng grabbed her hand in anger, ready to carry her on his shoulders.

"I just wanted to try it myself. Look, I'm fine." Xie Yuzhu swallowed the almond biscuit in her mouth.

"Thank you Yuzhu!"

Hua Qinfeng was angry and annoyed, he was fuming and glaring, and he had no intention of letting Xie Yuzhu go.

She took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve: "I'll just take an antidote pill."

"Xie Yuzhu, if you do anything to hurt yourself again, I will never let you go!"

After taking the antidote pill, he smiled and said, "I value my life very much. I will not do anything that endangers my life. I have also taken the antidote pill, so don't worry, Your Majesty."

Hua Qinfeng said seriously: "I'm not kidding you."

Just as Xie Yuzhu was about to apologize, Zhang Xinghe suddenly asked:

"What the princess said is true. Will eating almond cookies cause people to vomit and feel sick?"

Xie Yuzhu stared at the hand that Hua Qinfeng was holding tightly, and signaled him to let go.

Hua Qin turned his face away angrily, loosened his hand, raised his forearm, and let Xie Yuzhu lean on it.

Her arm rested naturally on Hua Qinfeng's forearm, and her whole body leaned against him.

"Raw almonds are toxic, but only in certain amounts. Even if the almonds in almond cookies are raw, eating a small piece will not cause vomiting or diarrhea. Moreover, almond cookies are baked, so the almonds in the cookies are fully cooked."

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "But after it was made, the almond powder sprinkled on the surface was raw. The imperial doctors must have found this and determined that the almond cake was the cause of the poisoning."

She was also confused. Didn’t the imperial doctors notice this?

You can't be that careless, right?

Zhang Xinghe also thought of what Xie Yuzhu could think of, so he asked:

"Can the princess find out if there is anything unusual in these foods?"

He raised his eyes and shook his head: "I haven't found anything yet. I have eaten most of these dishes, and there is nothing that conflicts with them. I don't like sweets, so I haven't touched these snacks. I don't know if there is anything mixed in them that conflicts with them."

It means you can focus on checking it.

Zhang Xinghe suddenly realized: "Thank you for your advice, Princess."

Before leaving, Zhang Xinghe said to Hua Qinfeng:

"Your Highness, since such a big incident happened in the palace, you should take the princess out of the palace as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary repercussions." After a pause, "I will find out the truth and clear the Queen's name."

Xie Yuzhu exclaimed: "Master Zhang also knows the prince very well."

Not only do I understand him, I also care about him.

The scene of the two of them bickering with each other just now didn't look like a hostile relationship at all, but more like close friends.

Hua Qinfeng said coldly: "Go back home."

As he said this, he held Xie Yuzhu horizontally in his arms.

Xie Yuzhu struggled: "There are people everywhere here, put me down..."

"Don't move! There is no palace rule that forbids a husband from hugging his injured wife." This time, his attitude was firm.

"It's immoral..." he murmured in a low voice.

Although she also wanted him to hold her, her life was more important.

"Carry? Hold? Sit? Choose one? Otherwise, I will use my Qinggong to fly out."

"What?" Xie Yuzhu raised her eyes.

"Either I carry you on my back, hug you, or you sit on my shoulders? If you don't choose, I will fly using my Qinggong." He lowered his dark eyes and explained word by word.

Xie Yuzhu's face was filled with astonishment.

He said casually: "I am as confident in my Qinggong as you are in your knowledge of poison. You will not be poisoned to death by poisonous almonds. I can also easily enter and leave the palace without being discovered, and I will not be punished for violating palace rules."

This expression, this tone, why do they look so familiar?

He opened his eyes wide: "You, are you threatening me?"

"No. I'm learning from you." Hua Qinfeng asked again, "Choose."

How dare you imitate her and threaten her.

Xie Yuzhu didn't look at him and said stubbornly:

"I have legs, I can walk on my own."

Hua Qinfeng suddenly exerted force on his arms while holding her, and his whole body felt an urge to push upwards.

Are you going to use Qinggong? !

"Don't jump! Don't jump!" Xie Yuzhu hurriedly stopped him and had to make a choice, "Carry on your back! Carry on your back! I choose to carry you!"

Hua Qinfeng held her thigh with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist. In an instant, Xie Yuzhu leaned on his back.

His back is broad and solid.

Xie Yuzhu's tense body gradually relaxed and she lay limply on his back, with her little head nestled on his shoulder.

I can hear his steady breathing and smell the scent that belongs only to him.

Hua Qinfeng walked carefully step by step.

"Xie Yuzhu, my mother's innocence is important, but your life is more important."

"I know. I won't joke with my life. I won't eat it unless I'm absolutely sure." Her eyelashes trembled slightly and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"There's not even a one in ten thousand chance." His voice was not as furious as before, but calm.

"Thank you for jumping into the pool to save me today." Xie Yuzhu also said softly.

"If I hadn't been angry with you, I wouldn't have left you behind alone. If I hadn't let go of your hand, you wouldn't have fallen into the water." His tone was filled with self-blame, and the arm that supported her body tightened, "Xie Yuzhu, let's not quarrel, don't get angry, and don't ignore each other in the future, okay? Even if you are really angry, don't abandon each other."

The moment she fell into the water, Hua Qinfeng felt like the whole world was collapsing.

She nodded gently: "Okay, next time you are angry, just say it out, don't escape, don't ignore the other person, let's talk about it and solve it together."

Hua Qinfeng said: "If I make you angry, you can hit me or scold me, and I will never fight back."

He asked back: "What if you are angry? Will you hit me or scold me?"

He rejected it outright: "I will never hit or scold you!"

After thinking it over carefully, Hua Qinfeng said, "Then...then I will dance with the sword, using the tree branch as a sword, and vent my anger, and then the anger will go away."

She pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Highness, this is a good idea. I am tired of beating you and scolding you, and my anger has subsided."

He smiled foolishly: "Hehehe...Now that you put it like that, it doesn't seem like we were angry or quarreling."

"Then we won't get angry or quarrel in the future. We will live peacefully and harmoniously. No matter how chaotic the outside world is, we trust each other."

Xie Yuzhu: No matter how dangerous it is, with you protecting me wholeheartedly, what is there to be afraid of?

Hua Qinfeng, you are really a person that no one can hate.

It even makes me feel that it would be nice to spend my whole life with you like this.

It took him a long time to respond: "Hmm..."

The palace maids and eunuchs passing by were surprised to see a heartwarming picture.

"Is this the Wind King?"

"The prince is really good to the princess. The couple lives in harmony, just like an ordinary family."

"Looking at the prince this way, he is not scary at all."
