Chapter 56 Ye Tingxiao Asks for Poison
"I'm not a fool." Du Wanwan pulled a piece of grass and stuffed it into her mouth. They were sitting on grass. "Get some water and leave quickly! I've given you the banknote. No matter what they find out, don't involve us.
The people in Dujia Village know about this. Do you want to warn them? If the news leaks out, will it have any impact on you?"
"It's okay." Ye Tingxiao unplugged the water bag, raised his head and took a sip. "It's already a mess, the more chaotic the better. What if the people in Dujia Village know? They don't know me, and they don't know what I'm doing here."
After pondering for a moment, Du Wanwan felt that what he said was correct, and nodded thoughtfully: "It's good that you know the answer. I called you here because I hope you can find some hidden dangerous elements through the banknotes.
Eliminating these people and dealing a head-on blow to the enemy may not be any worse than wandering around in the mountains as a scout."
"Thank you!" Ye Tingxiao tied the water bag around his waist and clasped his hands together. "Miss Du! I'll remember all your good advice. I'll go back to Liang County directly. You and the people from Huojia Village can come slowly. We'll meet again later."
"OK!"
Du Wanwan nodded and was about to say something when Ye Yeer pretended to be sleepy and ran over, clasping his fists and bowing to her.
"Miss Du! Thank you!"
"I'm sorry for offending you last time. I hope you won't take it upon yourself to deal with a rude person like me, Ye Yi."
Thinking of his own failure in Dujia Village, Ye Yi wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Miss Du was such a good person, they could use the water in her house as they pleased.
He and Ye Er both had selfish motives. Not only did they fill their water bags, they filled their stomachs as well, and they gulped down the drink to their heart's content.
Du Wanwan glanced at them slowly, then looked back at the water tank on the car: "Did you finish all the water? Did you leave any for them?"
When she asked, Ye Er blushed and answered, "A little bit, but not much."
Ye Yi is just a big silly guy, patting his belly: "It tastes good, I'm full."
Ye Tingxiao held his forehead with his hands, his eyes cold as the knife "swoosh swoosh" came towards Ye Yi. "You idiot, you drank it, why did you say it out loud? Don't you feel ashamed?"
After all, he was the captain of his secret guards. How could he act like an inexperienced person? Miss Du would look down on him.
It’s nothing, but don’t let him get involved.
"Okay! Let's get going after we've had enough. It's getting late and I need to go rest."
Du Wanwan stood up, spat out the grass in her mouth, got up and went back, waving to Yetingxiao and his two servants.
Ye Tingxiao stood aside and looked at her back, with an inexplicable emotion rising in his heart. It can be seen that Miss Du is a casual person.
She never hid anything in front of him, and never acted pretentiously, exposing her truest side completely under his eyes. The action of grabbing the straw and stuffing it into her mouth was very free and easy, which was not something that ordinary girls could do.
No wonder she likes to dress up in men's clothes. It is because her personality is very much like a man, not a woman who cries, sobs, and is sad at every turn.
She is so radiant and dazzling, but I don’t know if he is qualified to stand by her side.
I don't think so. He is engaged to Yang Yurong, the daughter of the Minister of Rites. If it weren't for the trouble caused by the young man, they would have gotten married this year.
He got a headache whenever he thought of that marriage.
He really doesn't like people always talking about rouge, powder, fine clothes and delicious food, and the scheming and calculating women in the backyard.
He likes women who can fight on the battlefield with him, kill enemies side by side, discuss military strategies, poetry and songs, and enjoy life.
Just like Miss Du, she is not particular about details, can kill idiots, and can see through the enemy's plots and tricks. She will not tremble with weakness and cry loudly when she sees the enemy, which is useless.
A woman like Miss Du is what he wants most in his heart, and the daughter of the Minister of Rites certainly cannot do that.
She had been learning the etiquette of Kyoto noble ladies since she was a child, such as flower arranging, tea making, painting, embroidery, the private affairs of the rear house, managing the household, controlling servants, etc.
It was a far cry from what he wanted.
He just stared blankly at Du Wanwan walking towards her resting place. Two crows flew from the car to her shoulders and said something to her. Du Wanwan frowned.
I really want to reach out and comfort her, and tell her that no matter what happens, he is there for her.
Unfortunately, he could only think about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to do it openly. He was engaged and couldn't disturb Miss Du's peaceful life.
Seeing that his master was standing there, Ye Yi had no problem with that. He sat on the ground and began to regulate his breathing. He drank too much water, and the warm feeling in his body was getting stronger. He needed to regulate his breathing urgently, letting the breath flow through his limbs and bones, driving away his fatigue.
Ye Er knew what his master was thinking, so he didn't dare sit down and stayed beside him: "Prince! If you really can't let it go, there is a way. Everything depends on human effort."
"I know." Ye Tingxiao paused, retracted his gaze, looked at Ye Er, and sighed, "I'm afraid this matter is not that easy. The current plan is to find a way to cancel the marriage of the Minister of Rites' daughter."
"That's easy." Ye Er expressed his inner thoughts, "I heard that the daughter of the Minister of Rites is extremely arrogant and is a model of noble ladies in the capital. If the prince is injured and cannot walk, it will be difficult for him to get married."
Ye Tingxiao's eyes lit up, then dimmed again in an instant: "Idiot, how can you fake something like this? Won't the imperial physician come to check it out?"
Glancing at Du Wanwan not far away, his heart brightened again. That's right, asking her for help would definitely work.
His thighs moved faster than his brain, and Ye Tingxiao walked quickly towards Du Wanwan who was leaning against the unicycle and preparing to take a rest.
Hearing footsteps, Du Wanwan looked at the man in front of her in surprise: "Why haven't you left yet? What are you dawdling for? Is there something wrong?"
Ye Er, who was sitting with Ye Yi in meditation, lamented that the prince was so impatient that he went looking for help so quickly in order to cancel the marriage in Kyoto.
Squatting down, Ye Tingxiao asked expectantly, "Miss Du! Can you give me a medicine that will cripple a person's legs, and the imperial physician can't diagnose the cause?"
There was no way, he didn't know when he would meet Du Wanwan again. Now that he had made up his mind, he didn't want to delay.
That marriage must be resolved as soon as possible. No matter how the Yang family accused him of being heartless and ungrateful, it didn't matter. He didn't want to marry a woman he had never met and never liked.
What he wants is the one in front of him. No matter how many difficulties or obstacles there are in the future, he will not give up and must marry Du Wanwan home.
"No." Du Wanwan shook her head and said bluntly, "The medicine you want is poison, and the dosage cannot be light, let alone heavy. I am on the run now, and I cannot make poison."
"Is that so?" Ye Tingxiao's eyes were filled with loneliness and a hint of dejection, "It seems that I won't be able to get it for a while."
Du Wanwan was very curious: "What do you want that for?"
