Chapter 100 Ajiu wants to eat osmanthus cake
"Congratulations, Your Highness." Chu Xuanyi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xiao Yu stood up, stretched his muscles, and bowed solemnly to Chu Xuanyi: "Master, your kindness is great, Xiao Yu will remember it in my heart."
"Your Highness, you are too kind. There is no need for this between you and me." Chu Xuanyi waved his hand, then turned his gaze towards the door and said with a smile, "But that girl Ah Jiu has been staring at you for quite some time."
Only then did Xiao Yu notice the small figure at the door.
Jiu was looking up at him with his big, bright eyes and a slightly open mouth, looking surprised and curious.
"Brother Xiong Xiong!"
When Jiu saw him looking at him, he immediately ran over with his short legs and hugged his thighs.
"Your Huahua! Huahua is fine!" The little girl pointed her little hand at the top of his head and shouted excitedly.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was the world that could only be seen through Ajiu's eyes.
He stretched out his big palm and rubbed her little head, his voice was more gentle than ever: "Really?"
"Yes, yes!" Jiu nodded vigorously, a bright smile on his little face. "The gray and broken thread is gone! Now your little pink flower has become so beautiful! It's sparkling and blooming!"
Xiao Yu felt warm in his heart, and he picked up the little girl from the ground and let her sit in his arms.
"Is Ah Jiu happy?"
"Happy!" Ajiu hugged his neck, rubbed his little head against the crook of his neck, and said in a baby voice, "Brother Xiongxiong is fine, Ajiu is so happy!"
Listening to her soft voice and feeling her unreserved closeness and joy, the last bit of haze in Xiao Yu's heart completely dissipated.
He looked at Chu Xuanyi, and the gentleness in his phoenix eyes instantly turned into a cold murderous intent.
"The Black Bone Tribe...it's time to settle this account."
Chu Xuanyi stroked his long beard and nodded, "That's right. Since they dare to extend their hands to Dajing, they must be prepared to be cut off."
Ajiu doesn't care about the Wugut tribe.
Now she only knew that her fierce brother Prince Xiong had recovered from his illness, the flower on his head had become more beautiful, and a small flower had also bloomed in her heart.
She yawned contentedly and muttered something under her breath.
"Brother, Jiu is hungry..."
"Hungry?"
Xiao Yu's murderous aura disappeared in an instant, and he looked down at the little girl rubbing her eyes in his arms.
Chu Xuanyi, who was standing by, watched with twitching eyes.
"Yeah!" Ah Jiu nodded heavily, touching his flat belly with his little hand, and looked at Xiao Yu pitifully, "I'm so hungry that I'm growling."
"What do you want to eat?" Xiao Yu took her hand and walked out of the alchemy room with big strides, asking as he walked.
"I want to eat..." Jiu tilted his head, thought seriously, and his eyes lit up, "I want to eat the osmanthus cake from the palace! It's sweet and sticky, and there are red fruits on it!"
"Okay, let's go back to the palace and eat osmanthus cake." Xiao Yu agreed without hesitation.
Chu Xuanyi, who was following behind, couldn't help but speak up: "Your Highness, you've just recovered from your injuries. Although your Qi is stronger than before, you've just experienced a dangerous baptism. Why don't you stay here with me for another night to regulate your Qi and consolidate your realm?"
Xiao Yu continued walking without stopping and without turning his head, saying, "No need. I know what's going on. Ah Jiu is hungry. I'll take her back for dinner."
The implication is that no matter how big the problem is, it is not as serious as Jiu being hungry.
Chu Xuanyi: "..."
Okay, he's nosy.
He shook his head and followed, talking business as he walked, "The evil spirit in your body has been eliminated. The Wugu Tribe will probably notice it soon. They act in a secretive way, and now that they have lost a hidden chess piece, they will probably be even more cautious. It will be difficult to track them down again."
Xiao Yu led Ajiu through the corridor, his voice returning to his usual cold and hard tone: "It's okay. They will come to us on their own."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Chu Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.
"They went to such great lengths to poison me. What was their purpose?" Xiao Yu sneered. "They simply wanted to render me a useless man, making it easier for their pawns in the court to act."
Chu Xuanyi stroked his beard and pondered, "You mean... the Minister of Revenue, Zhou Xian?"
"He's not the only one." A cold light flashed in Xiao Yu's phoenix eyes. "Last time, I asked Ajiu to divine Zhou Xian's guilt, but it was just a warning. I want to see how many people in this court have the black aura of the Wugu tribe swirling above their heads."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Xuanyi and Xiao Yu subconsciously looked at Ajiu.
Ah Jiu was counting on his fingers, muttering to himself: "One piece of osmanthus cake, two pieces of osmanthus cake, three pieces..."
Didn't listen to what they were saying at all.
A smile flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. He coughed lightly and said to Chu Xuanyi, "Xuanyi, do you have any ideas to help Ah Jiu's abilities... go further? Or, in other words, to help her see more clearly?"
Chu Xuanyi's face showed difficulty when he heard this. "It's difficult. Ah Jiu's life story is a mystery, and this innate magical power is unheard of. It's neither Taoist nor Buddhist, and there's no trace of it. I have also explored her bones and found that her soul is as pure as glass, without a trace of dust. This may be the source of her ability to glimpse the flow of destiny. This kind of talent is natural, and forcing it with external forces may damage the foundation."
"Forget it then." Xiao Yu gave up the idea without hesitation, "Don't hurt her."
Chu Xuanyi smiled helplessly, "The prince truly... dotes on her to the core. However, you don't have to worry too much. Although Ah Jiu is simple-minded, her instinct to seek good fortune and avoid danger is extremely strong. She can distinguish between 'pretty flowers' and 'annoying strings', and that's enough."
As he was speaking, Ah Jiu suddenly raised his little head, pointed at a little Taoist boy passing by, and said to Xiao Yu in a crisp voice: "Brother Xiong Xiong, there is a ball of black fog above that boy's head."
Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi stopped in their tracks at the same time.
The two looked in the direction of Ah Jiu's finger, and saw a little Taoist boy who looked very ordinary.
Chu Xuanyi's face darkened instantly.
There are actually some unclean things that have sneaked into the Imperial Master’s Mansion?
The little Taoist boy seemed to sense something was wrong, threw away his broom, turned around and ran!
"Want to leave?"
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, but his figure flashed like a ghost, and the next moment he appeared in front of the little Taoist boy, blocking his way.
When the little Taoist boy saw this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He took out a poisoned dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it towards Xiao Yu's heart without hesitation!
There was only a crisp "click" sound.
Xiao Yu just stretched out two fingers and easily clamped the poisoned dagger. With a slight force, the dagger made of fine steel broke!
The little Taoist boy's face was full of disbelief.
Didn't the intelligence report that the Regent had been poisoned and was at the end of his strength?! Why...
Before he could react, Xiao Yu snapped his fingers, and the tip of the broken dagger turned into a cold light, and with a "puff", it pierced into his shoulder blade.
"ah--!"
The little Taoist boy screamed and fell down softly.
Several guards from the Imperial Master's Mansion immediately rushed up and pinned him down.
"Take him away and pry open his mouth! I want to see whose claws dare to reach me!"
"yes!"
The guards dragged the assassin away.
Chu Xuanyi turned around and said to Xiao Yu with a wry smile, "I've made a fool of myself, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yu didn't care. He just lowered his head and asked the person he was holding: "Ajiu, do you still want to eat osmanthus cake?"
"I want to!" Jiu's attention was instantly drawn back, and his saliva was almost flowing out.
Xiao Yu nodded and said to Chu Xuanyi, "Xuanyi, I'll leave this place to you. I'll take Ah Jiu back to the palace first."
"Okay, don't forget your business at court tomorrow morning."
"I can't forget it."
Xiao Yu took Ajiu's hand and turned to leave.
