Chapter 283: Can You...Stay with Me for One Night?
Seeing how serious she was, Li Tianzhuo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Stop it. You can't bear to see the people suffer."
"If war breaks out, civilians from both countries will suffer casualties."
"We have to find the most appropriate method."
Deng Youning remained silent.
The person who knows her best is Li Tianzhuo.
"What are you going to do with that maid?"
Deng Youning changed the subject and asked about the main business.
"The hangover soup was sent by Uncle Gui. I wonder if he has anything to do with this matter."
"I will definitely pry Yao Bier's mouth open. As for Uncle Gui, if he is really involved in this matter, I will definitely not let him off!"
Li Tianzhuo's expression gradually dimmed.
The old servant whom he treated like a family member actually colluded with outsiders to harm him? !
For a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
But since the other party has betrayed him, he, who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes, must seek justice for himself.
In this world, it is very difficult to find someone with whom you can confide your heart.
This is true for the brothers who grew up together, and even more so for the old servants who have been by his side for many years.
Fortunately, God has been kind to him. At least everyone he knows in Dongji is very nice and will not plot against him like this.
He closed his eyes and kissed Deng Youning's forehead again.
I really want to go back to Dongji with her right away and live a peaceful life.
Deng Youning asked him to change into clean clothes and simply sprinkled some medicine on his wound.
At this time, Xiu Ming had also invited a doctor.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
"My Lord, my Princess, the doctor is here."
Xiu Ming knocked on the door and reported.
"Come in."
Deng Youning gave the order.
The doctor took a quick look at the wound and found it was not serious and the cut was not deep, so it was nothing serious.
However, while taking his pulse, the doctor knew that he had taken Hehuan Powder and prescribed an antidote for him.
After taking this bowl of medicine, the heat in his body was completely gone and he felt much better.
"Your Highness, Ying Shi told me that it was Uncle Gui and Yao Bier who poisoned you. They are so bold to murder you!"
Xiu Ming spoke up for Li Tianzhuo. He was so angry that he wanted to kill Uncle Gui and Yao Bier directly.
"Don't act rashly. I gave Yao Bier Ning's poison. We are mainly trying to force her to reveal the mastermind behind this."
Li Tianzhuo warned him again and again that he was most afraid that Xiu Ming's impetuous temper would mess things up.
Deng Youning asked again: "Where did Yingshi lock Yao Bier up?"
"The woodshed." Xiu Ming replied.
"It's getting late today. Send someone to guard her. We'll go check on her tomorrow morning."
Li Tianzhuo also nodded in response.
Xiu Ming bowed and left first.
When Deng Youning was about to leave, Li Tianzhuo grabbed her arm.
"Ning Ning, considering my injury, can you...stay here with me for one night?"
"You sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor."
Li Tianzhuo asked tentatively.
Afraid that Deng Youning would think he was mean, he made it clear that he was not taking advantage of her.
The pitiful dog had pleading eyes and a muffled voice, as if he would cry in front of Deng Youning if she didn't agree to him.
This coquettish look made Deng Youning feel pity for her.
"Okay, since you're injured, I'll stay for one night."
"You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the soft couch over there."
As Deng Youning spoke, she had already moved a set of bedding over.
Li Tianzhuo had no other extravagant demands.
He was already satisfied as long as Ningning could stay.
After making the bed, Deng Youning waved his sleeves slightly and used his inner strength to extinguish all the candles in the room.
"Go to sleep."
She uttered a word softly and lay down.
In the darkness, Li Tianzhuo was still sitting beside the bed, looking in the direction of Deng Youning, watching her fall asleep.
I don’t know how much time passed, but I was so sleepy that I finally fell asleep.
The next day.
Before Deng Youning woke up, Uncle Gui came knocking on the door.
He came to bring washing water to Li Tianzhuo.
Last night, there was a lot of noise in Prince Changle's courtyard, but fortunately, only Xiu Ming, Ying Shi and the other four knew about it.
No one else in the mansion, even Deng Yan'an, knew what had happened.
But even so, Uncle Gui still looked nervous, afraid that the truth would be exposed.
"My Lord, it's time to get up."
It's already noon.
Li Tianzhuo was very comfortable as the King of Changle, and it was up to him whether to attend the morning court or not.
It was already past the morning court, so he might as well sleep a little longer.
"Shhh."
Seeing that Deng Youning was still asleep, Li Tianzhuo tiptoed out of bed, walked to the door, opened it quietly, and made a gesture to Uncle Gui to keep silent.
"My Lord, I will help you wash up."
As usual, Uncle Gui wanted to bring in some water to help Li Tianzhuo wash his face and tie his hair.
Li Tianzhuo took the basin and said, "I can do it myself."
In order not to wake up Deng Youning, he tried to keep his voice down.
"Go tell the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger tea with osmanthus honey and put it directly in the breakfast."
The small couch where Deng Youning slept last night was close to the window. Li Tianzhuo was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he thought he could give her the drink when she woke up.
Uncle Gui was a little puzzled. His master never liked sweets, so why did he take the initiative to ask for honey to be added to the ginger tea today?
He kept talking to me so quietly, was there someone else in the room?
He instantly thought of Yao Bier who was scantily clad last night.
Could it be that she really had succeeded in climbing into bed?
That’s not right. Xiu Ming went to ask a doctor to come back last night. Is someone injured?
He asked curiously, "I heard from the gatekeeper this morning that Guard Xiu Ming invited a doctor over last night and boiled some medicine in the kitchen. Is anyone sick?"
Li Tianzhuo smiled coldly, "Indeed, there is. Go stand at the door of the woodshed in the backyard. I have something for you to do."
Uncle Gui was even more confused.
Is there any errand that needs to be done in the woodshed?
He didn't dare to ask any more questions and left with a bow.
After Li Tianzhuo put the basin away, Deng Youning looked at him sleepily.
Seeing that he still woke her up, Li Tianzhuo felt a little guilty.
"It's still early, sleep a little longer."
He spoke softly, walking to the couch and trying to tidy up the quilt for her.
"No need to sleep, we still have to go question Yao Bier and Uncle Gui."
Deng Youning tidied her hair and got out of bed.
After they simply washed up, they went to the front hall to have breakfast.
Seeing that the two of them came together and the prince gave the bowl of ginger tea to Deng Youning, Uncle Gui realized that Yao Bier had not succeeded last night and the one who slept in the prince's room was Princess Dongji!
Could it be that the two of them have already... ?
Thinking of the bowl of aphrodisiac soup, Uncle Gui was distracted for a moment and didn't hear Li Tianzhuo's instructions clearly.
"Uncle Gui, are you hungry? Why don't you sit down and eat with us?"
Li Tianzhuo repeated what he just said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have already eaten before serving you and the princess."
He quickly refused. As a slave, he did not have the courage to drink at the same table with his master.
"It won't hurt to eat some more, come on."
Li Tianzhuo stood up, took Uncle Gui's arm and led him to sit down.
Deng Youning smiled at her gently, picked up some food for him and served him porridge.
How could your uncle, who had been a servant all his life, dare to let the prince and the princess serve him like this?
"Uncle Gui, just bear with it. You are the senior who watched Ah Zhuo grow up. To Ah Zhuo, you are like his own uncle."
"We discussed it yesterday. Since you are old now, why don't you return to your hometown to retire?"
