Chapter 338 Maybe I won’t die?

After the prince left, Mo Xiao planned to keep it secret, but he couldn't help it.

He was a little scared, afraid that the prince would act on impulse...

Mo Xiao knelt down, "Your Highness, I am too talkative. Please think twice. Your Highness did not plant the love poison. Although Miss Qiao is poisoned and loves Your Highness, she is not insane and has not wronged herself. This is the best situation right now. Your Highness asked Mo Yun to go to the Pharmacist Valley to invite Doctor Yun when he returned to Beijing that night. He has done his utmost!"

He Yanli looked calm, standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back. Standing against the light, the soft moonlight outlined his figure. Although the glow was entangled, people could not feel a trace of warmth.

Mo Xiao said again: "Your Highness! One bowl of blood is fine, but if you drink a bowl of my heart's blood, your life will be in danger! Miss Qiao is not in danger of death, Your Highness really doesn't need to go to this extent!"

Given Miss Qiao's personality, even if the prince really took out a bowl of his own blood to cure her poison, she would not be grateful and return to him afterwards.

Having one foot in the gate of hell but not getting the same return is really not a profitable deal.

He Yanli didn't say anything, just looked at the towering trees with lush branches and leaves outside the window.

His eyes were half closed, his eyelashes were long and thick, casting a shadow that obscured the emotions in his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, he turned around and looked at Mo Xiao, "Maybe, I won't die?"

Mo Xiao was stunned and fell to the ground, "Prince?"

He paused, frowned and asked again: "Why?"

He Yanli withdrew his gaze and said nothing more.

If she were given a choice, she definitely wouldn't want to be poisoned by love.

That's enough.

At this moment, He Yanli was in an unusually calm mood.

The east is about to dawn and the morning light is just beginning to appear.

The capital city, which had been quiet all night, began to bustle with activity. The shouts along the long streets dispelled the sleepiness of the pedestrians. The sound of reading aloud rose from the Imperial Academy. Although the voices were childish, they were full of vitality.

In early summer, the temperature is not particularly hot, which is the best time of the year.

Every household opened their doors to welcome the joy of the early morning, but on this day, the door of Prince Jing's mansion was closed.

At midnight in Prince Jing's Mansion, Mo Xiao went to the East Palace in person.

He did not ride a carriage or a horse, but walked to the East Palace slowly and cautiously, holding a porcelain bowl in both hands.

After entering the Eastern Palace, he never handed it over to anyone else, but personally delivered it to the table in Yun Heng's room.

At the hour of Mao, He Zhiyu was having breakfast.

Jing Yuan said: "Your Highness, Master Yun did not sleep after receiving the heart blood last night, but started to make antidote. I believe Miss Qiao will be fired soon."

He Zhiyu took a sip of the Eight Treasures Soup and said slowly, "How is Prince Jing's Mansion doing now?"

Jing Yuan said: "The gate is still closed and no one is coming in or out. But last night, the head of the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Chen, was hurriedly summoned to the palace. The spies saw that the lights in Minghui Palace were on last night, and maids kept coming in and out, carrying basins of blood in their hands."

He Zhiyu stopped what he was doing, and after a long time he put down the bowl of soup.

I lost my appetite and had the food taken away.

Jing Yuan followed him and said, "Your Highness, you didn't sleep well yesterday. Why don't you go back and rest for a while? Anyway, you don't have to attend the morning court today, and you couldn't rest recently because of the flood."

He Zhiyu said calmly: "You should leave first."

The news that the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion was closed today also reached the Shangshu Mansion. Xiao Zhao was singing in the courtyard of Yongning Pavilion. Qiao Wanyan read a book for a while after dinner. She felt a little tired and lay down on the rocking chair under the tree in the yard.

Zi Yuan: "The gate of the palace has not been opened until now, and Prince Jing has not come out. Could it be that the prince is avoiding you for fear that you will go to him?"

Qiao Wanyan snorted, "We had a quarrel yesterday, why would I go looking for him today? It's just right that he's avoiding me, let's see who misses who more!"

A maid came and took a look at the charming Xiao Zhao, then walked around to Qiao Wanyan's side and said, "Second Miss, there's news from the palace that the Queen is going to hold a summer banquet in Yuxiu Garden the day after tomorrow and she wants you to go."

Then he added: "The Queen has specifically asked you to go, I'm afraid it would be difficult to refuse."

Qiao Wanyan said calmly: "I understand, please leave."

Zi Yuan said: "Miss, Yuxiu Garden can only host banquets hosted by the Empress or Princesses in the palace. Because it is far away, it takes two or three days to go there and stay there for two nights. The day after tomorrow is the anniversary of Concubine Hui's death. You said before that you would accompany Prince Jing, but now..."

Qiao Wanyan waved her hand and Xiao Zhao immediately stopped talking, standing obediently aside waiting for orders.

She lowered her eyes. "He must be unhappy on the anniversary of Concubine Hui's death. I like him and should be with him at this time. But he quarreled with me yesterday and closed the door today for fear that I would go to him. Why should I go to him without dignity?"

I like him, but I like myself first, how can I let myself be wronged?

If you don’t love yourself, why should others love you?

Only when he comes to find me can I talk to him!

Zi Yuan understood, "Then I will go and pack your bag for you."

"Go ahead."

Qiao Wanyan lay in the rocking chair for a long time, and the maid next to her was very considerate and came forward to gently rock the rocking chair.

After a while, she beckoned with her finger and Xiao Zhao walked over.

"Second Miss."

"I'm tired of listening to your songs." Qiao Wanyan said bluntly.

She was not very interested in opera in the first place, and she was just killing time during this period.

Supporting a person is nothing to her, but she never keeps useless people around her.

Xiao Zhao stood there quietly, his lips trembling slightly as if he was frozen.

After a while, he said, "I am useless and cannot make the Second Miss happy."

He was truly ashamed. Although the Second Miss had her own agenda, regardless of the process, she did rescue her family, turning them from slaves into good citizens, and granted them land to live on.

After being bullied by Li Hansong for so long, he no longer had any sense of shame.

Being kept in the yard by a woman to please her and sing songs to her, the days now are much better than before.

Qiao Wanyan said, "I was very satisfied with your work for me before. I am not the kind of person who would destroy the bridge after crossing the river, so I found a place for you. If you are willing, that would be great. If not, you can go home and be a farmer."

Xiao Zhao knelt down and said obediently, "My life and my family were saved by the Second Miss. I am willing to do whatever the Second Miss asks me to do."

Qiao Wanyan was very satisfied with his advice, "The Tenth Princess' new restaurant will be opening soon. If you want to continue singing, you can go there and sing for dignitaries."

Xiao Zhao kowtowed, "My life belongs to you, I will go wherever you tell me to go."

Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "How nice."
