Chapter 432: Made her cry, the secret of the secret meeting was discovered by the prince
Concubine Xu couldn't wait to pick up the small bell, and saw it beat twice in the palm of her hand. She looked around excitedly.
At this moment, she was in the tent. She looked around and saw that apart from some simple furnishings, it was just a beige tent, with no trace of the man in black at all.
She looked down at the small bell in the palm of her hand, which ticked twice and made a clear sound.
Concubine Xu held the small bell tightly and ran out quickly.
It was lighting time, the tent was shrouded in darkness, torches were lit outside, and there were many guards patrolling around.
Maybe it was because there were guards patrolling that the men in black didn't dare to get close?
When Concubine Xu thought of this possibility, she lifted her skirt and walked to the back of the tent.
There is a forest behind it, and it is sparsely populated and remote.
Not long after Concubine Xu walked away, a hand grabbed her arm, and she was so scared that her hair stood on end.
"It's me."
She felt relieved only when she heard the voice of the man in black.
She turned her head and looked at the man in black. In the pitch-black night, the man in black wearing night clothes blended into the night. The only thing she could feel was the pressure from his height.
"How did you get here? If you are discovered by the patrolling guards, you will be finished."
The man in black didn't care at all, "Since I came here, I can definitely leave. They can't stop me."
Concubine Xu knew that the man in black was very powerful, but she still couldn't help but complain: He only knows how to brag!
"You came to see me?"
The man in black nodded, "Yes."
Concubine Xu was secretly delighted, but then she heard the man in black say, "I came to you to ask you, when did Xiao Jinyan start raising his pet Xuetuan? And where did he get it from?"
Concubine Xu asked in confusion: "Why are you asking this?"
The man in black said, "Of course it is useful. Answer my question first."
Concubine Xu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either. I only know that His Highness's pet was raised by him and is very precious to him. And Xuetuan is very fierce and ordinary people can't get close to him."
The man in black asked, "What about you?"
Concubine Xu shook her head. "I don't dare to get close to Xuetuan. Xuetuan tore my clothes two years ago."
The man in black frowned when he heard this. Xuetuan didn’t seem to be that fierce?
Maybe it's because I've grown up?
Xuetuan was raised by Xiaojiu himself, and he seldom takes care of him.
He had no way of knowing whether it was true or not.
However, Xiaojiu is missing and Xiao Jinyan has a pet just like Xiaojiu, which is too much of a coincidence.
What made him most angry was that Xiao Jinyan said he didn't remember Xiaojiu.
Xiaojiu shouldn't have protected him in the first place.
The man in black couldn't help but curse: "You ungrateful bastard!"
Concubine Xu found that the man in black tonight was a little different from the past. He was angry and started cursing for no reason.
"Who is the ungrateful one?"
The man in black said bluntly, "Xiao Jinyan."
Concubine Xu was startled at first, then asked in confusion: "It's not good for you to say that about His Highness. His Highness is still a very good person."
The man in black snorted, "He's good? How could he let you stay alone in an empty room for more than two years? Doesn't he know how precious a woman's youth is?"
Concubine Xu was stunned. In more than two years, she had long forgotten the meaning of "staying alone in an empty room" and had long ceased to regard Xiao Jinyan as her husband.
She thinks Xiao Jinyan is good because he is loyal. Compared with those men who have three wives and four concubines, he is much better.
"Why are you so fierce? Xiao Jinyan didn't let me sleep with him because he is devoted to her."
“…” The man in black: “Idiot!”
Concubine Xu was so angry that she asked, "Why are you scolding me?"
The man in black asked back, "Am I wrong?"
"You're the only one who's smart." Xu Cefei was really angry this time. She turned around and ran away, but the man in black grabbed her wrist in time and pulled her back. He looked at Xu Cefei in confusion, "Why are you running?"
Xu Cefei struggled hard, but she was not as strong as the man in black. Even though she used all her strength to swing her sword, she was unable to pry open the man in black's hand.
"Let me go."
The man in black noticed that there was something wrong with Xu Cefei's voice, so he reached out to touch her face. His fingertips felt something wet, which was cooler than the lake water at night.
He was stunned.
Concubine Xu was originally a spoiled child who grew up in a coquettish environment. She was doted on by her parents and her brother in the general's mansion, and no one dared to say anything mean to her.
Even when they entered the palace, Xiao Jinyan had never been so fierce to her.
When the man in black attacked her, she couldn't bear the grievance and started crying.
The man in black took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Why are you crying? Someone who doesn't know would think I bullied you."
Concubine Xu choked up twice and said, "No one has ever hurt me in my life. Why are you hurting me? I haven't done anything wrong."
The man in black paused in his wiping motion and couldn't help but reflect on why he was so cruel to her. Concubine Xu was not favored and did not sleep with the emperor. Even if she left the palace in the future, she would not have to worry about food and clothing with her powerful family. It was just that she was old and suffered some criticism.
Why is he so angry?
"If Xiao Jinyan is really a good person, she should let you out of the palace now instead of wasting time in the palace."
The black-clad man's tone suddenly became gentle, leaving Concubine Xu stunned for a long time.
After Concubine Xu left, the man in black stood there and watched the petite figure approaching the tent.
Just for a moment, he wanted to ask her if she wanted to leave the palace. With his ability, it would be no problem for him to take her out of the palace.
Chu Zhaoquan, who was hiding in the dark, saw what just happened. In the past, his master would not let him follow her when she entered the palace, but now he understood that Concubine Xu was still a girl.
The master actually wiped the tears of Concubine Xu. Look at his distressed expression. Tsk tsk!
After Concubine Xu walked away, Chu Zhao jumped out from the darkness.
"Master, if we like her, why don't we just take her back? Otherwise, by the time she leaves the palace, she'll be an old maid..."
Before he could finish his words, the man in black hit him hard on the slap, "Can you speak?"
Chu Zhao covered his forehead and found a lump, which was enough to show how angry his master was.
The man in black retracted his gaze and turned away.
Chu Zhao chased after him, "Master, I have inquired about it. In the Great Xia Palace, maids can choose to leave the palace when they reach 25. The prince's women can also choose to leave the palace if they have not slept with the prince by the age of 25. Other women are already mothers of several children by the age of 25..."
Man in black: “…”
*
After breakfast, Shen Chuwei examined Xiao Jinyan's pulse and checked his injuries. He was a little better than the day before, mainly because the man in black had attacked too hard.
Seeing her nervous look, Xiao Jinyan comforted her, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
"Whether Your Highness is in trouble or not, I know it better than Your Highness." Shen Chuwei withdrew her hand and prepared the medicine again. Internal injuries are different from external injuries and need to be treated slowly.
Xiao Jinyan sighed helplessly, it was indeed not easy to be perfunctory when knowing medical skills.
Shen Chuwei prepared the medicine and gave it to Chunxi to boil.
The little tiger raised its head and looked at Shen Chuwei on the couch. It tried to climb up, but its limbs were short and weak. As soon as it jumped up, its chubby little body hit the pedal and bounced out.
After repeating this several times, the little tiger turned his head to look at Snowball who was sleeping beside him. He ran over on his short legs and used his equally furry head to nudge Snowball's head.
Xuetuan opened one eye and saw that it was the little tiger. He simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see it, knowing that it was disturbing its sleep.
The little tiger nudged for a long time, but Xuetuan ignored it, so it had to stretch out its paw to touch Xuetuan's face, and then licked Xuetuan's cheek as if to show its friendship.
After having his face licked with saliva, Xuetuan felt hopeless: "..." So annoying!
The little tiger was not discouraged and continued to try to please.
Xuetuan was tortured and couldn't fall asleep, so he had to open his eyes, slowly stood up, lowered his head and picked up the little tiger by the neck, and when he walked, he dragged the little tiger with him.
Even a ten-day-old tiger cub is only slightly smaller than Snowball. If Snowball was not so strong, he would not be able to pick up the tiger cub.
The little body was carried out of bed, and with a relaxed look in its eyes it let Xuetuan carry it and jump onto the couch.
After coming up, Xuetuan put the little tiger down as if he was disgusted.
After the little tiger came down, it walked up to Shen Chuwei with its short limbs and grabbed Shen Chuwei's sleeve with its little paws.
Shen Chuwei was checking Xiao Jinyan's chest. There were two palm prints on the place where he was hit by the man in black.
She found someone pulling her sleeve, and she looked down in confusion, and saw the little white tiger trying hard to grab her sleeve.
Wasn't the little white tiger on the ground? How did it get onto the couch?
Seeing Xuetuan standing nearby, she suddenly realized that it must be Xuetuan who brought the little white tiger up.
Xiao Jinyan looked in the direction of Shen Chuwei's gaze and saw the little white tiger was pulling at Xiaojiu's clothes and making low calls from time to time, in order to attract Xiaojiu's attention.
"What is it doing?"
"Maybe it's hungry." Shen Chuwei turned around and picked up the little tiger, then took the glass cup on the coffee table. The goat milk in it was prepared in advance.
The little tiger squinted his eyes happily after drinking the goat's milk.
Shen Chuwei looked at the little white tiger drinking milk and laughed out loud: "The little white tiger is so cute."
Xiao Jinyan: “…”
"Since it's a pet, it must have a name. What name should we give it?" Shen Chuwei turned his head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, what do you think is a good name?"
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Xiao Baihu calmly and said, "You should come and get it."
Shen Chuwei stared at the little white tiger for a while. Calling it rice ball? Tangyuan? It didn't sound domineering enough.
An idea suddenly occurred to her, "How about calling him Dabai? Xiaobai will surely be both cute and fierce when he grows up."
Xiao Jinyan thought of the dead white tiger. If it were not dead, it would have been very ferocious.
"As long as you like it."
Shen Chuwei retracted her gaze, looked at Xiaobai's soft body and said, "Taotao and Susu will definitely like Dabai too."
Later, wherever Susu went, she was followed by two bodyguards, one Dabai and the other Xuetuan. She became the darling of the palace that no one dared to mess with.
Xiao Jinyan came out of the tent and went straight to the meeting tent.
Wei Chi strode in.
Xiao Jinyan asked sharply, "Have you found any information about the man in black?"
Wei Chi said: "Master, we have not yet found out the origins of the man in black, but last night I found Concubine Xu's behavior suspicious."
Xiao Jinyan asked coldly, "Why is the law suspicious?"
"Last night, I discovered that Concubine Xu suddenly left the tent and went to the woods. From a distance, I saw that Concubine Xu seemed to be meeting with a man in black."
