Chapter 168 She Still Feels Chilled
Yun Zhao felt that anyone who was not a fool would be able to understand the meaning of these words.
She was too lazy to bother.
He just looked at Xie Jingmo with a half-smile.
Xie Jingmo frowned.
Lin Ruyu wiped her tears and said in a low voice, "Jing Mo, I really don't know what happened. Miss Yun, what did you mean by what you just said? Are you hinting at something? I've been poisoned, but you still don't want to let me go? Do you really want me to die to be happy?"
Lin Ruyu was the first to file a complaint.
Yun Zhao was not afraid at all. She just crossed her arms and looked at Lin Ruyu's pretentious appearance with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
This smile met Xie Jingmo's gaze.
After a moment, it slowly moved away.
In just a few seconds, Xie Jingmo had already understood the meaning in Yun Zhao's eyes.
"You're interested in this kind of stuff."
Xie Jingmo suddenly felt angry and annoyed, as if his taste was being looked down upon.
Xie Jingmo glared at Yun Zhao's back, and the person beside him called out softly, "General..."
Xie Jingmo just felt irritated. He turned his head impatiently, looked at Lin Ruyu, and blurted out, "Don't do so many little tricks in the future."
When Lin Ruyu heard this, her eyes widened in grievance, "Jing Mo, what... are you talking about?"
Xie Jingmo was not in a good mood, "Don't treat everyone as a fool."
When Lin Ruyu heard this, she felt a chill in her heart.
"Jing Mo...you..."
"What do you mean?"
"You believe Yun Zhao, but not me?"
"You know, Xiao Cui is nominally my maid, but actually she's my sister. I've always relied on her. When I was little, I sold myself just to give her something to eat. How could I possibly kill her? Besides, look at me, I'm so weak, how could I possibly kill someone?"
"Jing Mo!" Lin Ruyu covered her chest, "You're so hurtful!"
Xie Jingmo was extremely annoyed.
He felt that Lin Ruyu had been doing too many little things recently. He could understand that women in the harem would do a lot of little things.
He himself came from the palace, and he had witnessed the Empress Dowager's ruthless and decisive actions since he was a child.
None of Lin Ruyu's things were good enough for him.
What he disliked about Lin Ruyu was——
He is not efficient and too superficial, and his brain is only enough to do something that can be seen through at a glance.
But she still acted like she was weak and right.
It's really annoying to watch.
But whenever he thought of Lin Ruyu's life-saving grace...
Lin Ruyu glanced at Xie Jingmo's ashen face and didn't dare to cry. She just said softly, "Jingmo, I know I was wrong. I didn't think too much about it. Just for the sake of taking care of you and saving you before, don't bother with me."
Lin Ruyu knew what men liked to hear, so she said softly, "Everything I do now is because I love you."
Seeing that Xie Jingmo's expression had eased a little, Lin Ruyu covered her chest and coughed twice softly and delicately.
Xie Jingmo frowned and said to her, "It's windy outside, go in. I'll ask Yun Zhao to detoxify you. Also, I won't go back on my word. I said I would marry you, and I will definitely marry you. Just wait patiently."
Lin Ruyu responded softly, "Yes, I will listen to you, General."
After a few gentle words, Lin Ruyu became obedient again.
When Xie Jingmo left Lin Ruyu's place, Yun Zhao was in the yard outside, feeding the fish with snacks.
Xie Jingmo walked over with a sullen face, "The palace is looking for you. I told you that you have something to do outside and you should not come in yet. If you are late for work, I will have someone vacate your position and you won't have to go to the palace anymore."
Yun Zhao was not in a hurry.
She knew very well that both Concubine Yi and the Queen needed to take care of their bodies and would not let her stay outside.
Xie Jingmo waited for a long time, but Yun Zhao didn't speak, and he was a little annoyed.
"Some things are over once they're in the past," said Xie Jingmo.
Yun Zhao looked at the little fish in the pond and asked with a sneer, "General, are you talking about my parents' death, or about Lin Ruyu's attempt to poison me yesterday?"
Xie Jingmo's face darkened, "All of them."
Yun Zhao nodded, "That's right. Since the knife didn't hit me, I naturally didn't feel the pain."
There is no true empathy in this world!
Xie Jingmo's protection of Lin Ruyu once again refreshed her cognition.
Xie Jingmo's face was gloomy and he was silent for a while. Just when Yun Zhao thought Xie Jingmo would leave, he suddenly spoke, "Chang Heng is seriously ill, did you know?"
Yun Zhao's hand that was about to throw the snack stopped instantly.
Xie Jingmo saw it and slowly narrowed his eyes.
Yun Zhao turned around and looked straight at Xie Jingmo. "The Chang family is powerful. They have a divine doctor bestowed by the late emperor. Chang Heng has been sent back for over a month. It's impossible for him to be seriously ill."
Xie Jingmo was very unhappy with Yun Zhao's attitude at the moment.
Ever since she came back, her expression has always been indifferent, but at this moment, she showed some of the anxiety of an ordinary person.
It made him very upset.
He didn't want to mention Chang Heng at all, but Xie Jingmo knew that Yun Zhao was stubborn, and if he didn't do this, she would never let Lin Ruyu go.
"The Chang family sent a message saying that Chang Heng is seriously ill and needs Xueli Hanshan's Forget Worry Lotus."
Yun Zhao frowned. "Forget Worry Lotus? This herb grows in the snowy mountains. It blooms and bears fruit once every thousand years. It's very rare."
Yun Zhao didn't even look at Xie Jingmo and said directly: "I'll go find him!"
Xie Jingmo grabbed Yun Zhao and looked at her coldly, "You're worried about him! Since you know this medicine is so rare, you should understand that even if you go, you may not be able to find it."
Yun Zhao frowned and pushed away Xie Jingmo's hand, "Even if I can't find it, I'll go!"
Xie Jingmo narrowed his eyes, an inexplicable emotion rising in his chest.
In the past, Yun Zhao only cared about herself, and her emotions would only fluctuate because of herself!
Now, she heard that Chang Heng was seriously ill and was determined to go to Hanshan regardless of his life?!
It's crazy!
Xie Jingmo wanted to shake Yun Zhao awake, but he had to weigh the pros and cons.
As Yun Zhao started to walk out, Xie Jingmo said coldly, "I have the Forget Worry Lotus."
Yun Zhao's steps suddenly stopped.
She turned her head slowly and instantly understood what Xie Jingmo meant.
Yun Zhao hadn't had any expectations of Xie Jingmo for a long time.
She even felt that she had treated him as a stranger.
But when Xie Jingmo's plan reached this point, she still felt heartbroken.
She was used to his indifference, but when she really faced him, she still felt——
For a moment, my mind went blank.
That feeling of constantly having her cognition refreshed shattered her three views every time.
"You mean," Yun Zhao looked at Xie Jingmo coldly, "to repay your kindness by using the revenge they set on my parents to get the Forget Worry Lotus?"
