Chapter 336 Entering the Prince's Backyard
"Oh, Miss." Luo Kui wanted to say something but was pulled out by Lian Xin. Soon, Hua Qing came.
"Miss, are you looking for me?" As soon as Hua Qing entered the room, she saw Xiao Jiuyue reading a book.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at Hua Qing and asked, "What did you tell the Third Prince's fortune yesterday?"
"I calculated that he would be safe." Hua Qing answered without thinking.
"Was the Third Prince really poisoned yesterday?" Xiao Jiuyue stared at her with burning eyes. The silly girl Donggui must not know, otherwise, she would not be so panicked.
Donggui can't perform, but Huaqing, that's not certain.
"Your mouth is so black, it should be... right?" Hua Qing's words gradually became less confident under Xiao Jiuyue's burning eyes.
"He's very weak, but his hands are very strong. This doesn't look like someone who's been poisoned." Xiao Jiuyue spoke directly, without waiting for Hua Qing to say anything. "When you calculated yesterday, you said it was a very auspicious sign. How can it be a very auspicious sign if he's been poisoned?"
"Also, you calculated for His Majesty the Third Prince three times." Xiao Jiuyue held up three fingers and said, "Three times represents your disbelief in your own calculations. That's why you just sat by the door, right?"
"Miss, how did you know it was the third time?" Hua Qing was shocked. She never expected that Xiao Jiuyue was so meticulous.
Xiao Jiuyue continued, "You were writing and drawing at the door afterwards, and you weren't measuring at all, right? When I saw you measuring before, your posture was different!"
"What's the difference?" Hua Qing blurted out.
"The number of茭貝 (茭貝) and the direction they were measuring." Xiao Jiuyue had seen Hua Qing do this before. She said, "I asked you once, and you said you were calculating an auspicious day."
"..." Hua Qing fell silent. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue with admiration and said, "Miss, it's no wonder you can be a young lady. I can only be a small fortune teller!"
"You are very accurate in your calculations. You are the future great fortune teller. Many people in Donglin County want to ask you for divination!" Xiao Jiuyue praised. He set up a fortune-telling stall just to attract Hou Jian to come out!
Therefore, Xiao Jiuyue asked Luo and Luo Min, mother and daughter, to perform an eye treatment incident, which became known to the whole Donglin County.
Hua Qing said frankly: "Miss, in fact, the Third Prince was not poisoned at all."
Xiao Jiuyue listened to her words and immediately realized that her guess was true. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you find out as soon as you entered the room?"
"No, it's just that when I approached the Third Prince, I saw his face. His lips were so black, I'm afraid he must have died eight hundred times already." Since Hua Qing had been frank, there was nothing to hide. She said, "However, the Third Prince must have been poisoned."
"Hmm?" Xiao Jiuyue raised his eyebrows, his eyes seemed puzzled. You are poisoned one moment and not poisoned the next?
"It's just a little poison, not fatal, but it looks particularly scary, as if I'm going to die." Hua Qing muttered to himself, "But this poison is only found in my missing uncle? Could it be that the Third Prince still knows my uncle?"
"Didn't you say that your Hua Clan is small?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at her and said, "He's a prince, so it's normal for him to recruit all kinds of talents."
"Really?" Hua Qing didn't think much about it and said, "My uncle has been missing for many years. He was also a genius in making poisons. Maybe they bought it from somewhere?"
"I'll have to ask next time." Hua Qing said to herself. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue and asked, "Did the eldest lady find out yesterday?"
Xiao Jiuyue smiled without saying anything. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if she said that she was woken up by the heavy rain this morning and then realized it?
When she saw Jun Lie yesterday, her mind was filled with his pitiful appearance and his expectant eyes looking at her. For a moment, she really wanted to agree to him regardless of the consequences, but soon she came to her senses.
This is the Kingdom of Nanyue. He is a prince. Even if he is not favored, he is still from the royal family. Regardless of whether he has the ambition to ascend to the throne, he can never meet her requirement of being together for the rest of his life.
"Miss, I'm going to take action today regarding Hou Jian. I guarantee that he will be thoroughly interrogated." Hua Qing went to find Hou Jian with a heroic and confident look. With the pills she made, she guaranteed that Hou Jian would confess everything he was supposed to do!
Who knows, with evidence, the Xiao family might be vindicated immediately.
With this thought in mind, Hua Qing went straight to find Hou Jian regardless of the heavy rain outside.
Soon, no matter what method Hua Qing used, even the heart-wrenching pills were taken out, and Hou Jian said nothing, "I, I have no evidence, let alone any account books."
"I'm so angry!" Hua Qing spent a whole day trying but didn't find out anything. He was so angry that he even ate an extra bowl of dinner.
"Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely find out the truth." Hua Qing patted her chest and promised. No matter what, she must find out the truth, help the Xiao family to redress their innocence, and bring the young lady back to the Hua clan!
"Hou Jian is definitely not an ordinary person if he can survive!" Xiao Jiuyue comforted him. Hou Jian was able to hide when many people were searching for him, and was able to take shelter in the bandit camp after being disfigured and blinded. This is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.
Xiao Jiuyue had already made long-term plans. Since Hou Jian had already been caught, there was no need to worry that Hou Jian would confess over time.
"No, we've been away for so long, it's time for the autumn harvest. By then, Madam will have to make chestnut cakes and eight-treasure rice pudding, made with fresh glutinous rice..."
When talking about Eight Treasure Rice, Hua Qing almost drooled. She said, "I'm going to study the truth pills!"
"Hua Qing, slow down!" Dong Gui had just walked into the house and was almost knocked out by Hua Qing.
"Your reaction is too slow." Hua Qing raised his little finger towards Dong Gui, then quickly ran back to the house and started studying the truth pill!
"Miss, the Third Prince has taken the medicine and I heard he is getting better!" Dong Gui couldn't wait to tell the good news.
Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly: "Third Prince is fine, how great!"
"Miss, do you still remember Qiao Huilan and the second Miss Qiao who blocked the arrows for the prince?" Donggui thought that this time the bandits did not kill the prince, but instead gave His Royal Highness the Prince two more saviors.
"Her injury... shouldn't be serious?" Xiao Jiuyue had seen it at the time. The bandit's fatal blow was not strong enough at the end, so the stab was not deep.
"It's not serious, but Miss Qiao Er, you should enter the prince's backyard." Dong Gui told what she heard the maids say.
"Then Qiao Huilan turned a disaster into a blessing. Miss Bai San must be very angry." Luo Kui came out with the taro balls that had just been taken out of the pot. After listening to Dong Gui's words, her gossipy heart was ignited again.
"I think so." Dong Gui shook her head. "I found out that the Third Prince's poison was cured, and then I left."
"She must be furious. Although Qiao Huilan is of a lower status, she saved my life. If she gets pregnant with a child because of this, she will be honored as a mother!"
Whenever Luo Kui thought of Bai Miaojun's expression, she felt sorry for the young lady and the Xiao family.
