It seemed like he was really happy that she had found a friend.
Against the backdrop of this joyful atmosphere, Erzhu Huaji, who was standing aside, looked like an outsider who was out of place.
He coughed lightly a few times, and when he saw that no one noticed him, he lowered his voice: "That's enough, it's getting late, we should go back home."
Tudora clicked her tongue, her eyes full of disgust.
Jiang Zhiyu patted her hand and said comfortingly, "Never mind. It's a little late today. Next time, come secretly and don't bring him."
Tudora nodded.
He walked reluctantly to Erzhu Huaji's side, and the two turned around to leave.
"Wait, it seems you left something behind."
Tudola and Erzhu Huaji turned around at the same time, the former with a puzzled look on his face and the latter with flickering eyes, looking extremely guilty.
Jiang Zhiyu walked to Xu Jinchen and pinched his neck.
A tiny black worm squirmed on her fingertips.
!!!
Everyone was shocked. Xu Jinchen subconsciously covered his neck with his hands and stared at Erzhu Huaji.
Based on Tudola's behavior just now, the first suspect was Erzhu Huaji.
Erzhu Huaji frantically thought of a countermeasure. He pretended to pull out a box from his sleeve and exclaimed in surprise, "How did the food I was feeding the insects go over there?"
He stared at everyone's puzzled gazes and laughed dryly: "Sorry, I was careless and let it escape without noticing."
He took a few steps forward and said as he walked, "Don't worry, they are just ordinary bugs, not poisonous insects."
He stretched out his hand to take it from Jiang Zhiyu, but Jiang Zhiyu dodged and he missed.
"Since it's just an ordinary bug," Jiang Zhiyu softened his voice, looking at Erzhu Huaji's slightly angry face, and said, "Then I'll just crush it to death. That's okay, right?"
Erzhu Huaji's eyes suddenly widened, and the word "no" came to his throat. Before he could say it, he saw Jiang Zhiyu exert force with his fingertips, and the wriggling insect suddenly drooped down. Not only that, Jiang Zhiyu also used his internal force to shatter the insect.
It's worse than dead.
Erzhu Huaji's eyes were filled with heartache. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and quickly turned around and said, "Let's go!"
He turned and left, as if he had made some kind of decision.
[Little guy, I'm so heartbroken for you. 】
[I just happened to be free and had nothing to do, and someone offered it to me.]
[However, having said that, these people are too weak to be vigilant.]
Jiang Kangan: “…”
Xu Jinchen: “…”
[One went to see Xiao Chuji and was nearly poisoned, and the other nearly got poisoned. Both have such hateful constitutions.]
[No, we need to cultivate their vigilance. When I'm here, I can still keep an eye on them. But when I'm gone, won't others succeed?]
【We need to make some plans carefully.】
Jiang Kangan and Xu Jinchen looked at each other, and both saw a look of facing a formidable enemy in each other's eyes.
Jiang Wenjing watched their eyes meet and narrowed his eyes slightly.
…
After returning to the house, Tudola dismissed everyone, closed the door, and sent someone to guard the door. Then she looked at Erzhu Huaji and scolded him harshly: "Brainless idiot!"
Erzhu Huaji: "..."
He knelt on the ground, with his head down, silent.
"Why did you use the Gu without authorization when you knew you hadn't found out the truth yet?" Tudora sneered, "If you act like this, Jiang Zhiyu will definitely be on guard!"
"It's one thing to just use a Gu, but you used a King Gu! Don't you know how much time and effort it takes to cultivate a King Gu?"
Tudola became more and more angry as she spoke, and slapped Erzhu Huaji in the face with her hand.
"..." His drooping hair covered Erzhu Huaji's face, making it difficult to see his expression. After a moment, Erzhu Huaji said softly, "This is my fault."
"Of course it's you!" Tudora took a few deep breaths, suppressing the anger in her heart. "I've already told you before that the ultimate purpose of this trip to the Xu Mansion is to dispel Jiang Zhiyu's doubts and make her willing to be my friend. You insisted on making things complicated. If this affects our future plans, then you can accept the punishment yourself. Don't return to Nan Gu."
Erzhu Huaji shuddered and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
The atmosphere grew quiet for a moment before Tudora waved her hand. "I wonder if Jiang Zhiyu has become suspicious of me. Send someone to find out what she likes and report it to me."
Erzhu Huaji nodded.
Both of them were immersed in their own thoughts and did not realize that their plans had fallen into the eyes of the other person.
…
After Erzhu Huaji reported to Tudola everything he had learned about Jiang Zhiyu's preferences, Tudola kept it in mind and the next day, he asked Jiang Zhiyu to go to Qingfeng Pavilion.
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
I don't know who he asked, but it's surprisingly accurate.
She was happy, and Tudola was also happy because she believed that Jiang Zhiyu did not suspect her.
The two of them had a great day together and began to invite each other out frequently.
For a moment, they were very "sisterly".
The emperor listened to the report from the captain, and his hand holding the memorial trembled slightly.
This news was so shocking that the emperor was stunned for a while.
"Did you see their faces clearly? Were they really the two of them? Did Tudora volunteer?"
In any case, it is absolutely impossible for the young fish to be forced.
Qian Hu looked at the emperor speechlessly, "Your Majesty, it's no exaggeration to say that this matter is now known to everyone. Moreover, the two of them meet frequently, so it's okay for me to be wrong once, but how could I be wrong every time after so many times?"
But at the beginning, he did think he was seeing things.
Even if these two people don't become enemies, they can't become friends.
"As for whether Tudora volunteered, I don't know."
The emperor put the memorial down, pursed his lips, and fell into deep thought.
Could it be that Zhiyu forced her? But what could she be forced to do? Tudora herself had seen it before, and it was nothing special.
It would be even more frightening to say that Tudora did it voluntarily.
The people of Nan Gu deal with poisonous insects all year round, and their whole bodies are full of poison. How could any of them treat others sincerely?
The emperor didn't dare to think that if Zhiyu really lost a friend, Shengjing would be turned upside down by her.
The emperor sighed lightly and looked at Qianhu in a daze.
Or, there is another possibility, what if both of them have ulterior motives?
As soon as this idea came to mind, the emperor's eyes lit up.
If that were the case, then he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing," the captain whispered softly, "Xu Jinchen came to me privately and told me that when Nan Gu and the other two first arrived at the Xu residence, Erzhu Huaji cast a Gu on him. He was less than five meters away from Erzhu Huaji at the time, and he was completely unaware when Erzhu Huaji cast the Gu on him."
