After the big guy wears the abusive text

"Leave them in the room and call Liang Guogong." She whispered.

Hearing the words, Ye Youqing turned her mind around a few times, and immediately understood what she meant, so she beckoned to Qin Xin, bowed her head and said something to her, the girl was taken aback, and hurried out of the room.

Xiao Erniang glanced at the door in a panic, forced a smile, and said, "Ma'am, since the supplements have been delivered, I will leave now so as not to delay your rest."

She was turning around, but Ye Youqing walked slowly to the door of the room, took a chair and sat down, and blocked the door tightly.

Xiao Erniang clenched her handkerchief tightly, shrunk her shoulders slightly, took a few breaths before saying: "What do you mean, Miss?"

Ye Youqing watched Ci Ke standing in front of Zhao Qingrou's bed, protecting her, and then slowly said: "Xiao Erniang came here after a long time, and brought so many good things, I need to stay with you Sit down, so as not to lose etiquette."

Xiao Erniang's face turned from white to green, she smiled reluctantly, gestured to a few maidservants, and then said: "Miss, you are just joking, they are just some ordinary supplements, nothing, the concubine has internal affairs Deal with it, and please let the girl go."

As she spoke, a few maidservants stepped forward quickly to snatch the latch behind Ye Youqing, but Ye Youqing just fanned a fan he found somewhere and glanced at them, and they stopped in place , looking at each other.

"Xiao Erniang, don't embarrass the servants. If they dare to attack the master, they will be whipped by the government." Ye Youqing said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the maidservants retreated together, looked at each other, and exchanged panic.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became anxious, Xiao Erniang was trapped in it, and she didn't dare to force her way in, so she cast a threatening look on Ci Ke, hoping that Ci Ke didn't find anything.

"Come on, good girl." Seeing Zhao Qingrou, she stretched out her hand to hold Ci Ke's hand in her palm, and pulled her to sit down, "Sit with me."

Seeing Ci Ke's body stiffen, Ye Youqing couldn't help but smile.

Ci Ke is not used to being close to people, she knew that being held by Zhao Qingrou like this, she was naturally embarrassed, and suddenly cast a look at Ye Youqing, as if asking for help.

Ye Youqing shrugged, expressing that he was helpless.

Fortunately, Zhao Qingrou is a woman with a gentle personality and never gives people a sense of oppression. Instead, she is still used to asking Ci Keke lovingly. After a while, the woman's originally tense body slowly relaxes.

This picture is undoubtedly beautiful, Zhao Qingrou's beautiful face is smiling lovingly, and although Ci Ke is not smiling, his expression is gentle.

Footsteps came from outside the door, and Ye Youqing's ears twitched slightly, and then he moved away from his fascinated eyes, got up and took the chair away, and at the same time, there was a knock on the door.

"Qingrou?" Duke Liang asked in a low voice from outside the door.

Ye Youqing stretched out his hand to open the door, and Liang Guogong's tall body stepped in. The serious breath quickly filled the room with the heat from the outside.

"Ye Lang..." Seeing this, Erniang Xiao stepped forward with shaking shoulders, stopped halfway and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Duke." Zhao Qingrou's smile became colder, and she only said a word.

"What's going on?" Liang Guogong glanced at the crowd in the room, and waved his hands impatiently, "You guys, get out."

Hearing the words, several maidservants bent down and ran out hastily. Ye Youqing stretched out his hand, picked up the collar and lifted the maidservant with the hairpin bead flower, and pushed it beside Erniang Xiao.

The maid staggered, her eyes dodged, she didn't dare to look at Ye Youqing, her head and chest were almost folded together.

"Qingrou, how are you?" Liang Guogong asked while standing on the spot with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Qingrou has been lingering on the sick bed ever since the incident happened in the Zhao family, unwilling to communicate with him, the two gradually drifted away, but Xiao Erniang was very pleasing to others, so he took care of her more, and over time she forgot how to behave.

It was only after the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet last time that he noticed that he was a very intelligent daughter and first wife who he had left behind.

Zhao Qingrou didn't answer, but Ye Youqing walked up to him and picked up the medicine bowl and supplements that Xiao Erniang had just sent.

"Xiao Erniang, these are the things you sent just now, and they all contain green calyx fruits." Ye Youqing put them together, then turned around, and found some from the place Ci Ke touched just now. The dry powder came, and then he glanced at Ci Ke.

Ci Ke understood, and said: "Although the green calyx fruit is non-toxic, the petals are slightly toxic. If you keep inhaling the body, it will damage the liver. Moreover, if you take the green calyx fruit after poisoning, it will speed up the process. The speed of poisoning."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the room were shocked. Liang Guogong stared at Xiao Erniang who was already on the verge of collapse.

Xiao Erniang was supported by the maid to stand firm, and she swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva before she could speak: "So what, I just kindly gave you a soup, why do you think people's hearts like this, what kind of petals and fruits, don't slander good people! "

"You slave girl, why are you talking nonsense!" Xiao Erniang was about to pull on Ci Ke, but Ye Youqing stopped her firmly with a hand, and she insisted not to let her touch Ci Ke's hair.

Ci Ke was protected behind by Ye Youqing, his eyes drooped for a moment, and then he raised his eyes again, with a sarcastic smile: "If the Duke doesn't believe it, then look for someone in the house where the eldest lady used to live, especially the ventilation hole in the corner. , to see if there is any remaining petal powder."

"It's hard to buy green calyx flowers in such a large amount, and there must be records where they are sold," Ci Ke added.

"You can't use the doctor in the mansion." Ye Youqing added.

Liang Guogong looked at Ci Ke, then at Ye Youqing, and finally moved his eyes to Xiao Erniang, who was already dripping with sweat. The sweat from her forehead had ruined her makeup and turned into a puddle of black water.

His head nodded slowly, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he said sharply: "Come here, invite the imperial doctor in the palace to thoroughly investigate the Evergreen Pavilion. Before the imperial doctor arrives, no one is allowed to enter!"

He looked at Xiao Erniang again, his eyes seemed to weigh a thousand catties, making the woman crumbling under the weight, and finally knelt down with a plop, shaking like a sieve.

"Ye Lang, I'm not a concubine, I'm not..." Xiao Erniang's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally it sounded like a mosquito.

Such a poisonous incident happened in the house, and it was still his favorite concubine, Liang Guogong seemed to be a little dizzy with anger, covered his forehead with his big hand, sighed heavily, and gritted his teeth: "Come here, imprison Erniang Xiao in the remote place." The courtyard is strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to approach."

With a wave of his hand, several servants rushed in from the door, almost dragging Erniang Xiao away, the piercing screams and cries gradually faded away.

The room gradually became quiet, Qin Xin pressed against the wall in fright, and Zhao Qingrou's body trembled slightly, as if she was afraid because she had been poisoned. With eyes closed, one is still fanning the wind leisurely.

Liang Guogong looked at Zhao Qingrou for a while, remembering that she had been poisoned in his mansion for so long, couldn't help feeling a little apologetic, and stretched out his hand to step forward, but Zhao Qingrou avoided looking.

He had no choice but to stop, sighed, and said a few words of comfort, and asked the servant to invite another imperial doctor to see him, and strode away.

The door opened and closed, and there were only four people in the room.

Ye Youqing walked to Zhao Qingrou's side, stroked her shoulder, and said softly: "Mother, let's clean up the poison, and everything will be fine in the future."

"Mother is not afraid." Zhao Qingrou smiled weakly, pulled Ye Youqing with one hand, and Ci Ke with the other, "Thank you two today, if it weren't for you, I..."

"Why do you need to say thanks?" Ye Youqing shook his head.

Zhao Qingrou smiled lightly, and after a while, said again: "It is thanks to Ci Ke, such a good girl, it is our blessing to come to our house."

Ci Ke looked away, blushing secretly.

"Also, men are so lucky in this world. You two must find a lover in the future, otherwise you will be like me and spend your whole life wasted." Zhao Qingrou said seriously.

"Don't worry, mother." Ye Youqing smiled, glanced at Ci Ke, but found that Ci Ke's face suddenly seemed to be on fire, and then backed away, breaking away from Zhao Qingrou's hand.

"Ma'am, I'm going to clean up the poison." After she finished speaking, she turned and ran away.

That night, the Duke’s mansion was like flying dogs and dogs. Xiao Erniang in the side courtyard cried for half the night, then found a rope to hang herself. She insisted on seeing Duke Liang. After begging for half a night, the whole mansion was disturbed.

There was a sound of broken porcelain from nowhere, followed by a scream, which made people dizzy.

Ye Youqing had no choice but to turn over and sit up, put on his coat, and the candle lighted up just in time, Ci Ke came in with the candlestick and put it on the bedside.

"I must have cut my wrists this time." Ye Youqing said helplessly, and yawned. She had been woken up three or four times, and it seemed that she would not be able to sleep tonight.

"Why do you know poison so well?" Ye Youqing said suddenly, looking at Ci Ke who was hiding in the shadows.

Ci Ke was silent for a while, then took a step forward, half of her face was illuminated by the candlelight, creating a smooth and picturesque silhouette, her eyes were like water, rippling in her eyes.

"Yes." She replied.

"Have you seen it?" Ye Youqing tilted his head slightly.

"In the past, when I was a servant in the palace and served the concubine, I was taught many common medicines, including green calyx fruit." Ci Ke replied.

Ye Youqing nodded, in a place as dangerous as the imperial palace, it is normal for a personal maid to learn some medicine and poison.

"But why are you willing to help me?" Ye Youqing asked again, she was indeed puzzled, Ci Ke's temperament was very cautious, besides, Zhao Qingruan had nothing to do with her, even if she wanted to help, it would not be the agitated and angry attitude just now .

"I'm not helping you." Ci Ke said quickly, seeming a little annoyed.

Ye Youqing looked at her without speaking.

After a while, Ci Ke continued again, with an erratic voice: "There is a young talent who has just entered the palace. He has a good relationship with the imperial concubine and treats me very well. He is very popular with the emperor."

"And then she died, the same way."

Ye Youqing's heart sank, suddenly he felt that the room was stuffy and he couldn't breathe.

Ci Ke didn't cry, but under the candlelight, there seemed to be something flowing in his eyes. Ye Youqing knew that he had touched a sad place, and didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he touched at the bedside and took out a piece of paper-wrapped candy Hand it over to Ci Ke.

Ci Ke was taken aback, staring at the candy in his hand in a daze.

Ye Youqing took the candy, removed the candy wrapper, raised his hand and stuffed it into the woman's mouth, smiling gently.

"Eat something sweet and you will be happy."

------

In the early morning of the next day, a woman's figure walked out of the Duke's Mansion, wearing a long beige cloak that covered most of her face, and walked along the imperial street to the palace.

The street is not very lively yet, only some early-rising vendors are already busy. Ci Ke walks through the alley skillfully, she looks vigilant, and she seems to have something in her sleeve.

She hadn't sneaked into the palace for a long time, but she had broken contact with her aunt, and there were some things that she had to hand over to her aunt without delay.

The journey went smoothly as usual, but when she was only halfway away from the palace, she suddenly stopped and turned her head.

Behind it was empty and desolate, and there were not many vendors. A gust of wind blew up some fallen flowers and locust tree leaves.

The sky is not very bright yet, there is no morning glow, and the hazy sky passes through the clouds, covering Bianjing vaguely.

Ci Ke's throat moved, and he turned back as if nothing had happened, and continued to walk fast, but when he passed a deep alley, he suddenly turned in and started to run in big strides.

Seeing this, the person who was following secretly just now jumped out of his hiding place, and also plunged into the alley. Ci Ke fled desperately, only to feel that everything in the foreground was shaking violently, and the footsteps behind him were chaotic, and there were many chasing soldiers.

She couldn't help cursing, although the woman's Linglong figure is vigorous, she can't outrun people with martial arts, after a while, the breathing of those people is close at hand.

The constriction of the heart and lungs became more and more intense, and Ci Ke's eyes were blurred. She knew she would not be able to escape for long, and in desperation, she saw a pile of grass for horses in front of her, so she rushed forward and pushed down the haystack, temporarily blocking the pursue soldiers.

Afterwards, she walked through the alley and ran back to Yujie. The people behind her were still chasing her closely. There were at least five of them, as if they were determined to catch her back.

As his footsteps became heavier and his breathing became more and more difficult, Ci Ke felt hopeless panic in his heart.What should I do, where can she go in such a huge capital city?

At the critical moment, a name that had never appeared before subconsciously occupied her mind.

Ye Youqing!
