Chapter 332: A little bit of M on the body
"The young ladies have portrayed the emperor as a mighty god, and the government is happy to see this and won't interfere," Tong Niang said. "Because the stories feature the emperor fighting monsters, the people love to watch. Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and it's even more likely to reach Yin Lanci's ears."
[It's quite a lot of thought.]
Chu Liuzheng looked at her suspiciously: "Really? If you lie to me, I will-"
"There's another reason." Tong Niang added quickly with a blank expression, "The young lady likes it and thinks it looks good."
[Tsk tsk, Junior Sister's taste is quite unique.]
Chu Liuzheng was inexplicably looking forward to talking to Jiang Yao later.
Seeing that Tongniang was indeed cooperative, she continued to ask, "Is Wu Mian's resurrection related to the people Yin Lanci left in Longkou Town?"
Tongniang shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Chu Liuzheng frowned, "Wu Mian sat by the river all night last night, and your young lady also stayed in the forest all night. Are you really unaware of this?"
Tong Niang then shook her head: "The young lady didn't tell me."
Chu Liuzheng stared at her for a moment, then raised his voice and said, "Chenxing——"
"I didn't lie to you!" Tong Niang was almost frightened by these two words and said anxiously, "I really don't know!"
"Don't be nervous." Chu Liuzheng gave her a soothing smile. "Are you thirsty after talking so much? I'll have Chen Xing take you to the carriage in the back for a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
Tong Niang: “…”
She suspected that the woman opposite her did it on purpose, but she had no evidence.
She glanced at the upside-down teacup on the table and said, "I've told you everything I know. Can you return the insect to me?"
"And then you let it bite me again?" Chu Liuzheng pointed at himself. "Do I look like a fool to you?"
Tongniang pursed her lips and temporarily gave up the idea of getting the insect back.
She could only blame herself for underestimating her enemy, not noticing that Chu Liuzheng was covered in insect-paralyzing powder.
Chen Xing came in and took Tong Niang to the carriage at the back. At the same time, Feng Jingce stepped forward and asked Si Yue to help move the woman in the sack on the horse's back into the carriage.
Chu Liuzheng reached out and lifted the curtain, then handed over the teacup containing the green beetle. "Doctor Feng, do you want this insect?"
"This is... Hanqing Armor." Feng Jing rode his horse closer to examine it, his eyes widening slightly. "It looks quite good. Where did you get it from?"
"Tong Niang let it bite me, but thanks to the powder you gave me, I didn't get bit." Chu Liuzheng gestured for him to take it. "Here, this is a thank you gift."
Feng Jing's lips twitched: "You don't suffer any loss at all."
"Then do you want it?" Chu Liuzheng raised his hand until it ached. "If you don't want it, I'll give it to Siyue."
"Yes!" Feng Jing took it immediately and stuffed a porcelain bottle into Chu Liuzheng's hand. "It's a bloody throat slayer. Play with it."
Chu Liuzheng's hand trembled and he almost threw it out.
She was speechless. "Why do I need poison? Can't you give me some universal antidote, like the kind that can cure any poison?"
"You're dreaming." Feng Jingbai glared at her, bent down and rummaged through the bundle hanging next to the saddle, and took out a porcelain bottle.
He uncorked it, sniffed it, and after confirming it was correct, he threw it to Chu Liuzheng: "Although it can't cure all poisons, it can delay the onset of the poison. How long it can delay depends on the severity of the poison."
Hearing this, Chu Liuzheng quickly put the porcelain bottle into his purse and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Feng Jing looked at her.
Chu Liuzheng blinked.
Feng Jing held out his hand: "Give me back the poison."
"How can I ask for something back after I gave it away? Thank you, Doctor Feng." Chu Liuzheng quickly lowered the curtain and turned his head to face Chen Xing's pretty face that was approaching.
She leaned back in shock, her hands resting on the stool: "What are you doing?"
"Sister, you smiled so beautifully at Doctor Feng just now." Chen Xing leaned closer, staring at her with a faint gaze, "Do you like Doctor Feng?"
What gave you this illusion?
Chu Liuzheng was about to answer when the curtain was lifted from the outside.
Feng Jing leaned over and leaned in, his eyes fixed on the two of them: "I can hear you."
"So?" Chen Xing tilted his head and looked at him.
Chu Liuzheng also looked at him. Do you know that you should not listen to anything indecent?
Feng Jing pointed at her and said to Chen Xing seriously, "Liu Zheng and I are just friends. She doesn't like me, and I don't like her either."
"I know, I know. You like Doctor Qin." Chu Liuzheng sat up and pushed his face back. "Chen Xing is just teasing you. Ride your horse well."
"Is it that obvious?" Feng Jing raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, feeling a little embarrassed.
[Haha, of course it's obvious! You didn't see anyone else stabbing you with needles, yet you didn't fight back and even went all out to show your affection. You're a bit of a M.]
[However, with that elder's past experience in mind, Doctor Feng has a long road ahead of him in pursuing his wife!]
"Most people can see that." Chu Liuzheng gave him an encouraging look, "I wish you success."
Feng Jing smiled brightly: "I'll lend you my good wishes."
[Tsk tsk, he looks quite clever normally, but when he laughs he becomes a bit of a fool. I remember Doctor Qin's ideal type was someone shrewd.]
Chu Liuzheng inexplicably felt a little sympathy for him. He reached out from the bundle beside him and took out an oil-paper bag and handed it to him: "I'll treat you to some osmanthus cake."
"Thank you." Feng Jing reached out to take it, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
When Xiao Jingfan turned around, he happened to see the two of them smiling at each other, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
"I'll go and share it with everyone." Feng Jing waved to Chu Liuzheng while holding the oil-paper bag and rode forward.
Chu Liuzheng lowered the curtain and turned to look at Chen Xing, who was rummaging through the snacks in his bag, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Did you do that on purpose just now?"
"Sister, don't be angry with me." Chen Xing moved over and hugged her arm coquettishly, "I just wanted to play a joke on Doctor Feng."
Chu Liuzheng pinched her cheek and said, "You're still young. It's not good to make jokes like this. It can easily lead to misunderstandings. Don't do this again next time. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Chen Xing didn't resist. He hugged her and rubbed her, muttering softly, "It's good that sister doesn't like Doctor Feng."
Chu Liuzheng found it strange; she didn't usually see Chen Xing like this. She glanced at the little girl beside her and asked, "Have you figured out the reason for Wu Mian's resurrection?"
"No." Chen Xing's face fell, and he leaned on her shoulder and sighed deeply, "I can't think of it." It was because he couldn't think of it and was upset that he wanted to play with people.
"One person's plan is short, but two people's plan is long." Chu Liuzheng nudged her, "If you can't think of anything, talk to Doctor Feng and Siyue."
"Let's talk about it when we stop to rest." Chen Xing looked at her, "Sister, when did you know that Miyue and I were secret guards?"
【I'll know as soon as you arrive.】
Chu Liuzheng said vaguely while packing his bag, "You didn't hide anything about this trip, so I naturally guessed a few things."
"Oh." Chen Xing looked at her steadily, "I thought my sister already knew it."
"Haha, you overestimate me." Chu Liuzheng laughed dryly, raised his hand to rub her head, and handed her a bag of osmanthus cake. "Go out and eat with Siyue. I have a private talk with Abbey Master Jiang. I have to report back to the young master later."
"Okay." Chen Xing let go of her obediently and got out of the carriage carrying the oil-paper bag.
Happy May Day everyone ^V^
