LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 269: 1 False Alarm (page 12)
This was the first time that Xiao Jing saw Yuan Chuyi cry so loudly, and he knew that she was really scared. After comforting her for a long time, she stopped crying. After he asked Yuan Chuyi to accompany the child in the yard, he immediately asked Fang Wuyan to prepare an antidote.
Fang Wuyan was already busy in his yard. Several medicine jars were lined up and burning on the fire. The fragrance of various medicines was mixed together, and the whole yard was filled with the fragrance of medicine. Xiao Jing entered the yard and saw him leading two boys to work.
"How's it going? Are all the medicinal ingredients ready?"
"Don't worry, it's all here! I'll be able to prepare the detoxification after I stay up for another hour. Please ask Madam to wait!" Fang Wuyan said.
"I'll just stay here and watch!" Xiao Jing lay down on the rocking chair aside and closed his eyes to rest.
Fang Wuyan obviously understood Xiao Jing's worries. These medicinal materials were the key to whether Yuan Chuyi could survive. He was guarding here personally because he was afraid that someone would come to cause trouble again.
In a courtyard, under the hazy moonlight, a slender figure stood with his hands behind his hands. Two black figures floated over, kneeling on one knee, and one person said:
"Lord, all those sent out will die!"
The man in black couldn't help but clenched his hands behind his back, and said angrily in a deep voice: "Prince An's Mansion is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, full of masters! Unexpectedly, there is now a smart Princess An! If it weren't for Xiao who couldn't be controlled, Jing, let’s not think about it!”
The man in black looked sideways at another dark figure: "How was the Caogang issue resolved?"
"The old gang leader has been dealt with. The current gang leader is one of ours. Even if King An checked the Cao Gang, he couldn't find any clues!"
"you promise?"
"My subordinates guarantee it with their heads! Those martial arts masters have also been controlled by us, and are now locked up in the main altar! But recently, King An sent the Dragon and Tiger Guards to wipe out the killer organizations everywhere, and we have also lost a lot of people!"
"Retreat all those who can be evacuated to the capital. The captured martial arts masters must pay attention to their reactions at all times to ensure that there are no mistakes in the effectiveness of the medicine!" the black man ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"Also, have you caught that bastard who escaped? If Xiao Jing knows that he has evidence, once he is found by Xiao Jing, he will be directly taken to the guillotine without waiting for us to start an incident!" The man in black said angrily! .
"Yes!"
The two of them responded one after another and disappeared into the vast night in a blink of an eye. The man in black also disappeared in a flash, leaving only a faint moonlight on the ground.
Prince An's Mansion. Prince An's Mansion was quiet under the moonlight. Most of the people in the mansion had fallen asleep. There was only the sound of the footsteps of groups of night guards patrolling the mansion. Under the moonlight, Fang Wuyan and his two boys were beside the fire, controlling the heat and brewing medicine all night long. Xiao Jing seemed to have fallen asleep while lying on the rocking chair nearby, but when Fang Wuyan poured various decoctions into bowls to prepare the medicine, he immediately sat up and stared at Fang Wuyan.
"Master, you staring at me like this makes me feel even more stressed!" Fang Wuyan said.
"Then hurry up and match. I'll continue to sleep! Call me when you're ready!" Xiao Jing fell back on the rocking chair again.
Yuan Chuyi was shocked today and stayed with her child. The child was also very clinging to her tonight and wanted her to accompany her when sleeping, so she slept with her child. When the two nuns saw that she was asleep, they couldn't wake her up and let her sleep here. When she was sleeping soundly, she was woken up gently by Xiao Jing.
"What's wrong?" she asked in a panic. She looked beside her under the soft light. Both children were asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Jing with a blank look on her face.
Xiao Jing took the medicine bowl on the side and said, "Here, drink this medicine while it's hot!"
Yuan Chuyi was surprised that it was so late and he actually asked Fang Wuyan to prepare the antidote overnight. Looking at the bowl of brown-black soup in front of her, she hesitated, "Is this really useful?"
"We have to give it a try, and only then will we know if there is any hope!" Xiao Jing took her into his arms.
Yuan Chuyi looked at him, then at the child, took the soup bowl, and took a sip. It was so bitter! She immediately frowned and looked at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing laughed, "Wuyan said you can drink a spoonful of honey after drinking it, but you can't drink water within two quarters of an hour, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine!"
"Okay!" Yuan Chuyi had no choice but to hold her nose and hold the medicine bowl and drink the medicine in one gulp. She almost vomited after drinking the medicine.
Xiao Jing smiled softly, scooped a spoonful of honey and fed it to her. She felt better now, but her mouth felt very bitter. Xiao Jing, still grimacing, immediately lowered his head and kissed her red lips. Yuan Chuyi opened her eyes and looked at him, patted his strong chest, and motioned for him to let her go. Xiao Jing kissed her wantonly for a while like a mischief and then reluctantly let her go.
"What are you doing? The child is still here!" Yuan Chuyi said, throwing him a hygienic eye.
Xiao Jing smiled, "What are you thinking? I'm here to relieve your suffering!"
Yuan Chuyi's pretty face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, but her mouth didn't seem so bitter anymore.
"The children are all asleep. Nothing will happen tonight. Go back to the room and go to sleep!" Xiao Jing covered the child with a blanket and got up with Yuan Chuyi, and asked the two maids to come in and guard the child.
The evening breeze was blowing, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the courtyard was quiet. Xiao Jing put his arm around Yuan Chuyi's shoulders and walked slowly back to the main courtyard.
"I've been busy these days. It seems like I haven't been able to take a walk with my wife to enjoy the flowers and the moon for a long time!"
Yuan Chu looked at him with a side face, a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard during this period. If this antidote can really cure my poison, then we will have plenty of time in the future. You should spend more time with me and the child!" "
"I will definitely not neglect my wife and children. The two of us were interrupted last time when we went to the world. Let's find some time to go on vacation by ourselves!"
Under the faint moonlight, Yuan Chuyi didn't notice the evil smile on Xiao Jing's face, but he still readily agreed, "Okay, let's go somewhere else next time!"
"Everything depends on Madam's arrangement!"
The next day.
Xiao Jing got up early in the morning and went to court. When he got up on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he hadn't woken up yet. He thought it was because he slept late last night that she hadn't woken up yet. He dressed up and ate some breakfast casually before going out.
In the morning, the emperor said last night on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty that he would use the debt of more than 30 million taels owed by Tuoba Xing to be paid by Beidi to sign a hundred-year non-aggression treaty alliance, and let the ministers come to discuss whether this method should be used. feasible.
When the ministers heard this proposal, they were very surprised. They didn't think that Yuan Chuyi would give up so much money, but they wanted to use this to get Beidi to sign a non-infringement covenant. The night before, they pointed at Yuan Chuyi and scolded her. Several veterans of the demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people suddenly blushed.
"I didn't expect that Princess An was so aware of righteousness and had the world in mind. It was my fault that I blamed her!" The right minister immediately said to the emperor in shame.
"If you can use this to negotiate this alliance, Princess An will definitely not blame you for your rudeness. If this alliance fails to be negotiated..." The emperor couldn't help but pause as he looked at the ministers, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. "If the negotiation fails, it's time for you old men to step down and make way for someone more talented! It's time for everyone in the Ministry of Rites to move out of their homes!"
Anyway, they have just finished their scientific examinations, and these new talents are in short supply of good official positions. Princess An has paved the way. If you don't try your best to negotiate and get things done, you can go home and take care of yourself.
The emperor's words were so clear that the senior ministers and people from the Ministry of Rites had no excuses, and they all shouted: "I will try my best to negotiate an alliance and never let down the emperor's grace!"
