But now, there are not only them and the young master in the courtyard, but also the lady and others.
Therefore, the Poison Lady paid more attention and stopped placing poison powder around in the kitchen. Instead, she moved all the poison powder to the grocery room.
So Xuezhu was finally able to clean up the kitchen.
But he clearly cleaned the kitchen before going to bed last night, and he closed the door before leaving.
Xuezhu shook her head, unable to bear the fact that the door was not closed. She walked over and was about to close the door when she discovered that the kitchen had obviously been used by someone.
There was a pot, two bowls, two empty egg shells and rotten vegetable leaves lying next to them.
The pots and bowls were spotless, with nothing left except grease.
Xuezhu stared at it for a while, then reached out and started to tidy up quickly, washing the bowls and pots and putting them back in their original places.

The weather remained sunny for more than ten days.
Yu Li and Qian Jingli bought a lot of food and fodder from various places. It happened that they had almost arrived in the past few days, filling the warehouse of the Liangzhou government office to the brim.
During the day, Wu Wei'an went to see it specially. Before he went to bed at night, he suddenly said to Ji Yunxi, "Now I finally understand why everyone loves the throne."
Ji Yunxi raised her eyes and glanced at him slowly: "Why, have all the things from your government granary arrived?"
Wu Wei'an laughed: "As expected of my wife, you always guess right."
Ji Yunxi snorted lightly.
Wu Wei'an sighed, "When I went to see it during the day, I was quite happy. But then I thought, no matter how full the Liangzhou warehouse is, it's not mine. But doesn't the whole world belong to that person?"
Ji Yunxi pulled back the quilt and lay down, saying calmly, "You want to usurp the throne?"
These words are extremely taboo in the eyes of others, but they sound so common when they come out of Ji Yunxi's mouth.
Wu Wei'an laughed dumbly: "Aren't you afraid that the walls have ears?"
Ji Yunxi: "The one on the left is Xuezhu, and the one on the right is Wanxiang."
Wu Wei'an chuckled: "No, I'm not interested in that position."
Ji Yunxi looked at him, her words carrying a hint of warning: "It's better this way."
Although the three guardians all said that Wu Weian was indeed Lord Wu's child, who knew whether he had any intention of usurping the throne.
Anyway, Ji Yunxi was determined not to be the queen.
It’s too unfree.
Those two positions seem to be the most powerful ones, and everyone fears and respects them.
But in Ji Yunxi's opinion, whether it is the emperor or the empress, they are basically inseparable from the palace for their entire lives. What is the difference between them and birds in a cage?
Although Ji Yunxi doesn't like to move.
But not wanting to move or not being able to move are two completely different concepts.
Freedom is the right to choose.
Ji Yunxi was not too sleepy yet, and she was in a rare mood to say a few more words: "In my mind, the prince is the best candidate, not you."
Wu Weian thought about the prince.
He was in Shangjing City, and although he was a member of the prince's party, he did not have much interaction with the prince.
However, after meeting him a few times, I can indeed see that if the prince can ascend to the throne, he will be a king who loves the people.
The two chatted for a few more sentences and then fell asleep in each other's arms in a daze.
Half an hour after I fell asleep, someone suddenly knocked on the door hurriedly.
First came the voice of the steward: "Sir, wake up quickly, the prince is here!"
Then came Wanxiang's voice: "Miss, the Crown Prince and the Seventh Master are here."
Of the two people in the room, Wu Weian was the first to wake up.
He opened his eyes, and the sleepiness in them flashed away, replaced by a light as deep as a pool.
Ji Yunxi was still a little confused for a moment.
She supported herself on the bed with one hand and stood up shakily. Wu Weian subconsciously pulled her up.
Ji Yunxi gradually regained her composure: "Crown Prince?"
This news was so absurd that for a moment, Ji Yunxi wondered if she had heard it wrong.
This was beyond Wu Weian's expectations. He looked outside and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the prince?"
Steward Yuan said, "In the side room, the prince is injured, and Xuezhu is helping to bandage him."
Wu Weian and Ji Yunxi looked at each other.
Ji Yunxi subconsciously asked, "Where's Seventh Brother?"
Wanxiang said, "Seventh Master also has external injuries, but they are all minor."
Ji Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them didn't say anything else, changed their clothes and went to the side room.
The prince was hit by an arrow, but fortunately, Ji Mingshuang pulled him up in time and his internal organs were not injured.
Ji Mingshuang's injuries were less serious than the prince's. He was stabbed in the left shoulder.
The prince lay on the bed, and Xuezhu sat beside him. She used the lit candle flame to heat the scissors back and forth, and then cut the clothes around the arrow.
The snow bamboo was cut neatly and without measuring, and was cut into a perfect circle without damaging any of the fabric or causing any wounds.
On the couch next to the bed, Ji Mingshuang was sitting upright.
He pulled at his sleeves, his face stern, his expression full of rejection: "No thanks."
Ji Mingshuang looked at Xuezhu and said, "After Xuezhu has finished dealing with His Highness, you can help me deal with it on the way."
Ji Mingyan tugged at Ji Mingshuang's sleeve, his face filled with heartache. "Mingshuang, your wound is very deep! We can't delay any longer. By the time Xuezhu finishes treating His Highness, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your hand anymore! Don't worry, just leave it to Sixth Brother!"
After saying that, he patted his chest.
Ji Mingshuang clutched his sleeve tightly and refused to let go: "It's not very deep, the blood isn't flowing anymore."
Just eat some food made by Ji Mingyan, that’s all.
But if he lets Ji Mingyan bandage his wound, his hand will really be ruined, right?
Just at this moment, Ji Yunxi and three others walked in.
Ji Mingshuang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked Wanxiang to bandage him.
While the two brothers were struggling, Xuezhu had already grabbed the arrow with a handkerchief and pulled it out quickly, accurately and fiercely. He then immediately stopped the bleeding, applied medicine and bandaged the wound.
