Is the prince jealous today?

Xiaosi shortened the candle wick, dimmed the lamp, turned to look at Qi Jian, hesitating to speak.

"Bring it." Qi Jian's white fingertips pointed directly at the jade bowl on the tray.

"My lord, don't use this medicine..."

Qi Jian didn't answer, she tapped twice with her fingertips, raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were full of irritability.

Knowing that it would be useless to persuade Xiaosi, he handed over the bowl with a bitter face. The bowl was filled with thick and dark concoction, and the bitter smell swayed with the concoction, spilling out little by little.

Qi Jian seemed to have no reaction to the bitter taste, took the bowl, and raised her head to drink.

Xiaosi knelt down with a plop.

"What are you doing?" Qi Jian frowned, and stopped the movement of her hands. The concoction swayed in the sapphire bowl, causing circles and ripples.

Xiaosi lowered his head, knowing that he shouldn't say anything at this time, but he didn't want to watch the master drink the medicine.After such a stalemate for a while, Qi Jian raised the corner of her mouth first: "Why, are you trying to persuade me not to drink?"

Xiaosi nodded stiffly: "Your Majesty, this medicine is harmful to your body, so it is really not suitable to drink too much."

Qi Jian snorted coldly: "I drink all the time, what are you afraid of?"

The dose of this medicine is more than double the usual amount. Drinking it is definitely not as simple as coughing a few times. Xiaosi pursed his lips, trying to persuade him but dared not.

"Are you afraid that I will die?" Qi Jian looked at the top of Xiaosi's head, sighed softly, and drank up the medicine.

Xiaosi had already raised his head when he was drinking the medicine. Seeing that he had finished all the medicine, he could only take the empty bowl with his lips pursed, and exited the door respectfully. The copper basin is back.

Qi Jian looked down at the copper basin, with disgust appearing in his eyes.

Xiaosi quickly ran out again, and after a short while, brought back a few delicate roses.The petals were removed one by one and thrown into the water until the water surface was covered with red petals without leaving any gaps, Qi Jian waved her hand.

Xiaosi responded, took the rest of the roses and retreated to the door, looked at Qi Jian again, and closed the door with a bitter face.

The gap between the two carved doors is getting smaller and smaller, and finally they are tightly closed, no more moonlight can be seen.

Qi Jian withdrew her gaze, stared at the beating lights, remained silent for a long time, and said leisurely: "Those who can't die, at least, can't die until justice is sought."

There is no need to go to court on the second day, but because the imperial edict has been issued before, Qi Jian still has to enter the palace to thank him early this morning.

Xiaosi guessed that it was about the same time, so he held the copper basin and stood outside the door. After a while, there was movement in the room, and when he heard Qi Jian's hoarse voice coming in, Xiaosi carefully pushed the door open.

The moment the carved door opened, the bloody smell wafted out, and he quickly walked in, put the clean copper basin on the shelf, bent over to pick up the copper basin on the ground, and retreated outside the house skillfully.

There was a layer of bright red petals floating in the copper basin, perhaps because of the moisture of the water, after a whole night, the petals not only did not wither and fade, but became more gorgeous.Looking at the blood stains on the petals, Xiaosi sighed.

After Qi Jian rinsed his mouth and wiped his face with warm water, he felt much better. He patted his pale cheeks in the mirror, thinking that his sickly appearance looked natural.

After coughing all night, he didn't have to eat breakfast, it was still early, after he was fully dressed, he gave Xiao Si carefully a few sentences to make sure that Xiao Si fully understood his intentions, and then he led people slowly into the palace up.

"Third prince, I heard that this prince has already entered the palace."

Hua Qiong paused slightly when he heard this, and turned his head with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Oh? What do you mean?"

"If you want to say it lightly, that's a lunatic, I'm afraid it's better to hide?" The subordinates pondered Hua Qiong's meaning, with a flattering smile on their faces.

"I'm doing well, so why hide from a lunatic?" Hua Qiong's mouth was still upturned, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.

Seeing his smile, his subordinates shivered suddenly.The nickname of Smiling Tiger was not given for nothing, although the Third Prince was smiling all the time, but only his close subordinates knew how much knife was hidden behind this smile.

Coincidentally, Qiao Yuan is one of the third prince's close subordinates.Seeing the third prince's smile, Qiao Yuan vaguely felt that the third prince was in a bad mood.

A few days ago, the eldest son got married, Young Master Liu almost escaped from the marriage, and the reason, even if he kept it under wraps, he knew what he should know.Qi Shizi has always been against them, and now he was almost escaped from marriage, no matter how he thinks, he will cause trouble today.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "That's right, the third prince doesn't have to hide from him, but that is a mad dog. If he was bitten innocently, isn't it your luck?"

"Mad dog?" In the cold voice, there was playfulness, Qi Jian raised his chin slightly, even if he had greeted him, "Where is the mad dog, why don't you let me see it too?"

Qiao Yuan didn't expect to be heard saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, and it was so far away. Thinking of what Qi Jian did in the past, his face turned pale.

Qi Jian didn't seem to see him, and just asked Hua Qiong again: "Dare to ask the third prince, where is the mad dog?"

Hua Qiong didn't expect to run into this man as soon as he entered the palace gate. Seeing Qi Jian's half-smile, his heart beat a little, and the corners of his mouth flattened a little.

But after thinking about it, I am not in the imperial garden, so there is no possibility of being kicked into the lotus pond, not to mention that I have done nothing, at least it is not in his hands, even if he wants to vent his anger, there is no reason.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stiffened a lot, and the corners of his mouth curled up again: "Mad dog, naturally it's where the mad dog should be."

Qi Jian nodded slightly, stepped forward a few steps, and at the same time getting close to Hua Qiong, suddenly turned cold, and put her hand into her armhole.

Hua Qiong was startled: "What do you want to do?"

"Why don't you guess?" Qi Jian fumbled in her sleeves unhurriedly, "Or, let me guess, why did my princess almost escape from marriage?"

Just mention this when we meet?Hua Qiong thumped in his heart, did he want to settle the score directly?

You can't bring a sharp weapon into the palace, if you bring a sharp weapon, you can punish a crime, Hua Qiong seems to have a mirror in his heart.But, others dare not take it, what about Qi Jian?He has never paid attention to etiquette, otherwise how could he do the thing of beating the prince?

At this time, take two steps back, you will lose face, if you don't back up, will Qi Jian really pull out a knife?Thinking of this, Hua Qiong twitched his toes, a little hesitant.

While he was hesitating, Qi Jian finally touched the thing and was about to take it out.

Looking at the shape, it was a long strip, Hua Qiong's pupils shrank sharply, and he quickly took two steps back.After retreating, he realized that he had lost face, so he frowned and took another step forward: "This is the palace, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? I don't know either." Qi Jian also stepped forward, and the two faced each other again, deadlocked.

"I warn you, this is the palace, it really hurt me, you think you can escape?" Hua Qiong clenched his hand in his cuff unconsciously, and shook it twice.

"Escape? Why should I escape?" Qi Jian raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly.

Hua Qiong froze for a moment, seeing the genuine murderous intent in Qi Jian's eyes, she couldn't keep the smile on her face anymore.But this is the imperial palace, even if he is really annoyed by his secret actions, he dare not do anything, right?

No matter how much his father loves him, he can't just sit back and watch him harm the prince.Thinking about this clearly, Hua Qiong gritted her teeth secretly, and said in a low voice: "If you hurt me, your life is in danger."

"Death? Do you think I'm afraid of death?" On Qi Jian's pale cheeks, there was a slight smile, not knowing whether it was laughing at herself or Hua Qiong.

Following Hua Qiong's example, he also lowered his voice: "I'm afraid that before I die, I won't be able to drag you all to hell one by one."

After finishing speaking, she suddenly withdrew her hand from her sleeve, Qi Jian raised her hand and stabbed.

Hua Qiong's expression changed drastically as the cold killing intent rushed towards his face. He didn't even see what Qi Jian was holding in his hand. While he frantically blocked, he instinctively struck back with his palm.

Qi Jian was waiting, and at this moment, seeing the palm wind blowing, he turned slightly sideways to control his proportions, so that Hua Qiong's palm just brushed against the hem of his clothes.

Hua Qiong struck empty with his palm, and immediately realized that his expression changed.

Qi Jian didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and coughed fiercely while covering his chest. After a while, blood dripped from between his fingers, and coquettish blood flowers bloomed on the ground.

Amidst the exclamations of the eunuchs and guards, Qi Jian held the fan and raised the corners of her mouth, leaned closer to Hua Qiong and coughed a few more times.

"The next time I met Sheng Xie Wanen, I was injured by the third prince Wuhu, and now I have to go back to the residence to recuperate. As for you, go to the imperial court and explain to the Holy Majesty slowly why you hurt someone."

Hua Qiong stared fiercely at the person in front of her, she obviously only touched the clothes, why did she become like this?

Seeing the resentment in his eyes, Qi Jian pressed her chest and coughed violently, with joy in her voice: "I forgot to tell the third prince that a few days ago, the imperial doctor said that I might have tuberculosis, so I ask the third prince to be careful about this." , don’t get sick.”

After he finished speaking, under Hua Qiong's frightened gaze, he slowly walked towards the palace gate with his sleeves flicked.

"Xiao Si, you said these things, Qi Jian specially ordered them to be prepared for me?" Liu Yi stared at the table full of dishes with a strange expression.

"Returning to the concubine, that's right." Xiaosi directed the servants, arranged the dishes properly, and personally took out a plain silver pot, which was full of milky white liquid.

Looking at the glass of liquid, Liu Yi's whole body was in a bad mood, no wonder, no wonder that guy Qi Qingyu, mysteriously asked his mother for a long time, he was waiting for him here.It's really stingy, isn't it because I forced him to eat half an osmanthus cake, and he actually wants to force himself to drink milk?

Seeing Liu Yi's changing expression, Xiaosi wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

He endured it for a long time, and then pointed to the milk and said seriously: "My son told me, he will return when he goes, and my concubine wait a moment, I think my son will be back soon."

"Can I not wait?" Liu Yi smiled wryly.

Xiao Si suppressed a smile: "The son carefully prepared it, but the concubine did not wait, isn't it good?"

"That's right." Liu Yi moved a round stool resignedly, and sat crookedly on it, staring at the milk to comfort herself, "He was in Liu's house yesterday, so he gave me face, and I have to give it to me. , It’s just a meal, it’s nothing, just pay him back, and after eating this meal, there will be no debts.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door: "You go."

"What?" Liu Yi looked up in surprise.

After Qi Jian said this, she leaned against the door, coughed twice, and pointed at Liu Yi coldly: "I don't want to eat this meal, you, go!"
