Xiao Tang sneered: "If you really wanted to murder your husband, you wouldn't have had a chance to speak."
He threatened verbally while cursing under his breath.
She climbed off him, glaring at him angrily. "Don't you owe me an explanation for this?"
"Your aunt outside?" he asked tentatively.
The woman nodded vigorously.
That's obvious!
She was asking about her aunt outside.
Where did it come from?
It's simply unpredictable.
And what's going on with sending over his mother's belongings?
"She had been living in Dongyuan Kingdom for the past two years, and only came to Xiqin Kingdom to do business, specifically the Zhongshuge business."
"Is selling books enough for her to live on?"
And there's even a secret room here.
It couldn't possibly have been prepared by Yu Xueqiao specifically for her nephew, could it?
Di Jingling gave a soft "hmm": "Not quite sure."
He had just arrived in Western Qin when the Gu poison took effect.
And this attack lasted for several days.
If Xiao Tang hadn't arrived, he wondered if he would have had to write a will.
Thinking of this, I gently took her small hand in mine.
I wanted to squeeze her hand tightly, but I was afraid of hurting her, so I loosened my grip on her little hand a bit.
Di Jingling gazed at her with clear, tranquil eyes, which naturally reflected her current appearance. "Tangtang, do you know why I came to Western Qin specifically?"
"The Fuyu you're looking for?"
"Not entirely. My aunt told me about Fuyu, but most importantly, she wanted to tell me about my father."
"However, I didn't expect that the poison would suddenly take effect halfway through."
Xiao Tang nodded slightly, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Would he be particularly concerned about his background?
I always thought you didn't care about your background at all, but it turns out you do care quite a bit.
The key question is, can we please not be so impulsive next time?
[Oh, you villain, it seems fate has decreed you can't live without me. Next time your poison flares up, you'll have to take me with you.]
If we don't find it in 7 Days to Die...
She was actually quite satisfied.
Let's see if he dares to leave her in the palace and go out alone again next time!
She found a basin of clean water, wiped the sweat off the man's body, and changed his clothes.
Di Jingling let her do as she pleased.
Finally, she couldn't help but exclaim in praise, "Tangtang, you are so virtuous."
"hehe……"
"Me, virtuous? That's an illusion, you big villain! Don't ever think I'm virtuous; that's a very dangerous misconception!"
Xiao Tang didn't even want to say that the word "virtuous" couldn't be used to describe her at all.
The man chuckled softly instead.
"A virtuous woman is a virtuous woman, and no one dares to refute that."
Xiao Tang shrugged.
They escorted the old man out of the secret room.
Yan Shi and Ru Yi quickly came to greet them.
When Ruyi saw that Xiao Tang was safe and sound, without any missing limbs, she was so excited that her eyes welled up with tears.
She had heard that when the Regent's strange illness flared up, he would eat people... kill people... and suck blood.
She was terrified.
What if the princess goes in...
Yan Shi remained calm, only saying in a low voice, "Your Highness...Your Highness, are you alright?"
His voice was also a little hoarse.
This is all because I didn't sleep well last night and stayed up late.
This is what happened when I woke up this morning.
At this moment, Yu Xueqiao's gentle voice, like that of an elder, rang out: "Jingling, you're alright now that you've woken up? I'm relieved. It seems that Tangtang is truly your lucky star."
From the elders' perspective, it was indeed commendable that Di Jingling's Gu poison was alleviated as soon as Xiao Tang arrived.
From a personal perspective, Yu Xueqiao felt a great liking for Xiao Tang the moment she saw her.
Even if this girl might be a little wary of her.
Xiao Tang merely gave a faint smile in response to her words.
It was an awkward yet polite smile.
Could you please stop looking at me with that doting smile?
However, this aunt doesn't seem like an enemy.
[Ideally, they shouldn't be enemies...]
"Are you hungry? I'll go cook for you." Yu Xueqiao spoke up at the right time.
She turned and walked away gracefully.
It felt like they were genuinely welcoming guests.
Once everyone had left, Ruyi nervously grabbed Xiao Tang's sleeve. "Your Highness, could this woman have poisoned your food and harmed you and the Prince?"
What if?
Who knows if something like that might happen?
Xiao Tang nodded her little head.
I was so angry at her words that I laughed.
What are you thinking about?
Yan Shi asked, "What about Yan Jiu? Where did he go?"
He was puzzled because Yan Jiu had been missing ever since they arrived in the Western Qin Kingdom.
Moreover, Yan Jiu has never appeared, which is puzzling.
Upon hearing his question, Di Jingling replied in a rare moment of cheerfulness, "He has something to do; I sent him to handle some matters."
...
When Yu Xueqiao brought the food to the table, the dishes, with their perfect color, aroma, and taste, instantly whetted everyone's appetite.
You can tell at a glance that my aunt is a master cook.
She arranged the bowls and chopsticks neatly.
She smiled and said, "Try it, I don't know if it suits your taste."
Xiao Tang gave her a couple more strange looks.
One has to wonder why my aunt is so enthusiastic?
As if understanding Xiao Tang's gaze, Yu Xueqiao sighed softly, "They're not my specialties, just some home-style dishes. My two daughters..."
Her eyes dimmed slightly when she mentioned her two daughters.
Originally, no one thought much about the dishes.
