Chapter 129: The Rivals' Eyes Turn Red
Su Yu exclaimed, "Really?"
Jiang Xue opened and closed her mouth slightly and looked at Jing Ye with a reproachful look.
Jing Ye smiled and said, "I'm asking you, why are you silent? Are you shy?"
Jiang Xue gritted her teeth and nodded, saying, "Yes. But after all, we haven't been in touch for many years, and the elders in my family also want to wait and see. After all, after a long time, no one knows what kind of character a person is, and whether they can get along well."
He Zhilin, who was standing aside, looked unhappy and said, "Come with me in. Don't stand in this courtyard."
Su Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "I was so happy to see Sister Jiang San that I forgot about it. It's unreasonable to let a guest stand here. Moreover, it's Mr. Ji's first visit today, which is even more rude. Everyone, please go in and sit down and rest. I'll ask someone to make some good tea."
After that, she smiled and said to Jiang Xue, "There is a shop in Sajin Lane that sells excellent candied fruits and fruits. I don't know what my sister likes to eat, why don't you go with me to pick some?"
Jiang Xue declined, saying, "Sister Su Yu, there's no need to bother making this special trip. I came here today to look for Brother Yan."
Su Yu was about to say something when Jing Ye suddenly spoke to her, "She is never picky about snacks, except that she doesn't like bland food. Madam, just buy some sweets, the sweeter the better."
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go buy it right away."
After that, he winked at Jiang Xue and said teasingly, "As expected, they were engaged when they were children. Although you have only been reunited with me for a short time, I know my eating habits very well. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort and thought."
Jiang Xue smiled perfunctorily, knowing that Jing Ye wanted to get rid of Su Yu, and said, "Then I'll trouble you, sister. Let my guard drive you there."
Su Yu waved her hand and said, "No need, the shop is not far away. I still have to go to the embroidery building to arrange some work, so I won't bother that young man to run around with me."
"You guys go in and sit down first, and stay for lunch. I'll be back before noon."
After saying that, he waved to them and left Yawu Cottage.
When He Zhilin saw them leave, he led Jiang Xue and the other person to the courtyard with a gloomy look. When they got to the room, before the three of them sat down, he asked, "Your Highness, who is he?"
Jiang Xue laughed happily and said, "Didn't I tell you, he's my cousin."
He Zhilin said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please don't act ridiculous. You have been with a man of unknown origin, and you even made up such a deviant lie with him. Even if you don't consider your own reputation and safety, you should consider the reputation of the royal family!"
He didn't know why, but he really disliked Ji Ying. He disliked him from the first time he saw him.
Especially today, seeing Jiang Xue standing with him with a smile on her face.
The discomfort in his heart grew stronger.
The last time he had this feeling was when Jiang Xue and Xiao Qi stuck together all day, chasing after him and calling him "Aqi" every day.
"This Mr. He has really considered a lot for the princess," Jing Ye said with a hint of disdain in his tone, "but I don't know what your identity is to persuade her, and why do you think that going out with me is a heresy?"
"Isn't it heresy for a married woman like you to secretly go in and out of your mansion?"
"If I'm not mistaken," Jing Ye glanced at Jiang Xue calmly and said, "The guy sitting on your roof is Wu Anlang of the royal family, right?"
Jiang Xue was shocked. Did he see Jiang Qibin?
"You told me that Wu'an Lang was short of manpower, so he sent people to places like this to be dispatched?"
Jing Ye approached Jiang Xue step by step. Jiang Xue's heart was beating fast. She said hurriedly: "This is a long story. Brother He has some dealings with Gu Lintan. I am worried about his..."
"Worried?" Jing Ye's tone suddenly rose, and he sneered twice, saying, "It turns out that the princess has such a close relationship with a man outside. No wonder Mr. He spoke so harshly when he saw you and me together. I guess he is just feeling guilty."
"You!" He Zhilin was a little annoyed, and said, "Don't tarnish His Highness's reputation!"
He thought about it, a look of shock flashed across his eyes, and then asked: "'Gu'? Who are you?"
Jiang Xue lowered her head and said helplessly: "Can you please stop arguing? Okay, I'll tell you the truth, Brother He, this is His Royal Highness Prince Ruichong from the country of Gan."
He Zhilin was even more shocked and looked at Jiang Xue for a long time without saying a word.
Jing Ye calmly sat down on the main seat, crossed his legs, and said calmly, "Why, Mr. He, are you so scared that you can't speak?"
Jiang Xue was speechless. "How can you, an official of a state, scare the people of Ji?"
Nanxing and Fudong came in with tea trays. Seeing He Zhilin's angry face, Nanxing stepped forward and said, "What's wrong, sir? Depressed qi hurts the liver, don't you remember? It happens that I brewed Prunella Vulgaris and Chrysanthemum tea. Drink some quickly, sir, it will reduce internal heat and relieve liver heat."
Jing Ye laughed in confusion when he heard this.
He Zhilin gave him a cold look, then turned to Nan Xing and said, "You go down first. I'll prepare some detoxifying tea recipes for Third Sister Jiang to take away."
Jiang Xue understood what was said and felt a little puzzled. There was no hatred between the two of them, right? Why did they fight like fighting cocks as soon as they met?
Jiang Xue was afraid of missing out on important matters, so she looked up and said to Fu Dong, "We have something to discuss, so put down your tea and go out first. I'll have lunch here, and if you're really bored, let Nan Xing take you to the kitchen to show off your skills."
Nan Xing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "Is the food cooked by this sister delicious?"
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "This is simply a delicacy from heaven. Let's take her with us."
Nanxing happily pulled Fudong out of the house. Jiang Xue turned around and saw He Zhilin, who was still on edge, and Jing Ye, who was leisurely drinking tea. She sighed helplessly and pulled at the corner of He Zhilin's clothes.
"Brother He, listen to me."
"Prince Rui Chong discovered something. Someone in the court of Ji State was secretly communicating with the rebels of Gan State. That's why we want to find out the truth together."
The gloom on He Zhilin's face was mostly gone, and he asked in surprise, "What?"
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "This matter...may also be related to the death of my eldest brother."
"The eldest prince?" He Zhilin frowned and said, "Didn't Your Highness and the Second Prince find out that it was a conspiracy set up by Prince Guoan and... that person?"
Jing Ye's expression beneath the mask was a little gloomy.
Jiang Xue's eyes showed sorrow. She shook her head gently and said, "Maybe things are not that simple. The reason why His Royal Highness Prince Rui Chong and I came to find you this time is because the only imperial physician who diagnosed my eldest brother's poisoning was Grandpa He. I think you also inherited Grandpa He's medical skills, so you probably have some understanding of the poison at that time."
He Zhilin looked thoughtful, glanced at Jing Ye warily, then turned back and looked deeply at Jiang Xue, and said:
"Your Highness, follow me."
