Chapter 32 The main storyline can never be carried out
The green jade medicine jar in Xiao Renyu's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and glass fragments mixed with medicine powder splashed in the morning light.
Chu Yangyang took the opportunity to break free from the shackles, and her embroidered shoes trampled over the mess on the ground.
"Sister Renyu, listen to me!"
She grabbed Xiao Renyu's sleeve and said, "I changed his medicine last night, but the idea of marriage is just nonsense, Lord Luo."
A pair of warm hands suddenly wrapped around the silk ribbon around her waist, and Luo Xifeng's voice, wrapped in the fragrance of medicine, came close to her ears, "The princess was not so heartless last night."
His fingertips brushed the hair on her neck. "You said you would be with me, my shadow, until we grow old together. Why are you going back on your word now?"
"I clearly said I'd never have anything to do with you again!" Chu Yangyang turned around and covered his mouth, the wound on her palm rubbing against the corner of his lips. "Sister Renyu, don't believe him. He's the best at confusing right and wrong!"
Xiao Renyu looked at the blood on Luo Xifeng's lips and forced a smile on his face, "The princess and the master are truly in love."
She bent down to pick up the broken porcelain, not even noticing the cut on her fingertips. "I remembered I had something else to do today, so I'll leave now."
"Sister Renyu, don't go." Chu Yangyang was anxious to hold Xiao Renyu, but Luo Xifeng held the hem of her skirt with his hand.
The plain silk skirt was torn about an inch, revealing the red mark on the wrist where he had pinched it yesterday.
Luo Xifeng suddenly grabbed her wrist and blew gently, "Does it hurt?"
Jade-colored fingertips stroked the scar, "Last night you said you loved my gentleness the most..."
"I like you to shut up!" Chu Yangyang grabbed the candied fruit on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, then turned to Xiao Renyu and laughed dryly, "He's still feeling the effects of the poison and is talking nonsense!"
Xiao Renyu's silk handkerchief fell on the blood-stained broken porcelain. When she turned and passed the door, the hairpin in her hair got entangled in the bead curtain above the door.
She raised her hand and tore off the string of beads, and the jade beads clattered and fell to the ground. Her tone was hasty and cold, "Ren Yu, I'm leaving."
"etc!"
Chu Yangyang chased to the door with her torn skirt lifted up, but was hugged by Luo Xifeng around the waist.
He sighed softly in her ear, "Princess, you are so eager to die, but have you forgotten our agreement?"
When Xiao Renyu looked back, he saw Luo Xifeng lowering his head and sniffing Chu Yangyang's hair.
The blood-stained porcelain fragments were still in her palm. She clenched them tightly, snorted angrily, and walked away.
Chu Yangyang watched her embroidered shoes roll over the jade beads scattered all over the floor. Suddenly, she collapsed in Luo Xifeng's arms in frustration. "Are you satisfied?"
"It's okay." He let go of her hand and let her slide to the ground. Chu Yangyang staggered to her feet.
She took a deep breath and said, "Luo Xifeng, I'm helping you, why are you making trouble?"
"Help me?" Luo Xifeng's expression darkened a bit, an inexplicable undercurrent surging. "The condition of my body is still unknown, so there's no need to add unnecessary worries. Please also, Princess, don't act on your own initiative anymore."
Chu Yangyang suddenly realized that he was afraid that he would die and would not be able to stay with Miss Xiao until old age?
Tsk tsk, I didn’t realize Luo Xifeng had such a delicate mind.
"Remember to come to the study to collect blood tomorrow at noon."
Luo Xifeng straightened his clothes, turned around and walked out.
The spring breeze blows into the Tangli Garden, stirring up a sea of pear blossoms.
Xiao Renyu was extremely angry and slapped the table with his palm, causing the green jade kettle on the table to shake left and right.
"Miss, who made you angry?" Xiao Renyu's personal maid Ruolan poured a cup of tea for Xiao Renyu.
Xiao Renyu narrowed his eyes and counted on his fingers, "Ruolan, let's go to the Minister of Revenue's residence."
The residence of Minister of Revenue Lin was located not far from the Prime Minister's Residence, and Xiao Renyu arrived at the Lin residence quickly.
After the servant passed the message, Xiao Renyu waited for half an hour before being led into the mansion.
Lin Shuyue was making tea in the courtyard.
Xiao Renyu walked forward, placed the gilded porcelain jar on the bamboo table, and slowly opened it: "I heard that Miss Lin loves Guzhu purple bamboo shoots, so I specially asked someone to find some new shoots before the Qingming Festival."
Lin Shuyue lowered her eyes to look at the sparrow tongue floating in the tea. "I heard it's Miss Xiao, the new arrival at the Prime Minister's Mansion. I wonder what brings her here?"
Xiao Renyu saw the cup of clear water on the side, picked it up gently and sniffed it, then sprinkled the salt next to it into the cup and handed it to Lin Shuyue, "Miss Lin, moisten your mouth first."
Lin Shuyue raised an eyebrow. "Miss Xiao, you even found out about my habit of rinsing my mouth with warm salt water in the morning. It's really frightening."
Two intersecting shadows were reflected on the bottom of the celadon cup.
Xiao Renyu pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "I've heard that Miss Lin is a straightforward person, so I'll speak frankly."
"Please go ahead."
"The day after tomorrow, the Queen invites the noble ladies of Tiantong City to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the spring. I want to help you."
"Help me?" Lin Shuyue frowned.
Xiao Renyu smiled meaningfully, "By then, someone will frame you, and I can help you see through everything in advance."
Lin Shuyue paused holding the teacup, "I don't quite understand what Miss Xiao said."
Xiao Renyu smiled, moved closer to Lin Shuyue, covered his mouth with his slender hands, and whispered to Lin Shuyue.
Hearing this, Lin Shuyue suddenly slammed the teacup onto the table, splashing tea everywhere. "They are so bold!"
"But..." Lin Shuyue's fingertips slowly turned the teacup, "How did Miss Xiao know about this?"
Xiao Renyu had long anticipated Lin Shuyue's suspicions, and he had thought of a reason in advance, avoiding the fact that she had only just learned about it after her rebirth. "I passed by the princess's courtyard that day and heard them discussing this matter. I've heard that Miss Lin is a chivalrous and courageous person, and I didn't want you to be framed, so I took the risk of coming here to inform you."
This was quite reasonable. Lin Shuyue nodded and thanked him, "Thank you, Miss Xiao. Please take a look at this matter..."
…
With the arrival of spring, the powerful people in Tiantong City like to hold various complicated parties. Chu Yangyang was woken up early by Miaoyun to dress up.
"Is today the Empress's celebration of spring in the Imperial Gardens?"
Miao Yun nodded, "Yes, my lady, you must dress to impress today."
Chu Yangyang sat by the dressing table, staring at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze.
In the original book, something unexpected happened at the Queen's spring viewing party.
"Miaoyun, dress me lightly and simply."
The weeping crabapples in the imperial garden dipped in spring water, drawing shimmering golden patterns on the bluestone path.
Chu Yangyang walked through the flower path holding an apricot-colored shawl. The spring sun cut the gauze into twelve pear petals, which fell on her unmade-up face, making her look three times clearer and more transparent than the crabapple trees that were blooming all over the garden.
Shen Mingzhu came forward affectionately and took Chu Yangyang's arm. "The pearl necklace you are wearing today is so unique."
She glanced at Lin Shuyue standing aside, covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister Shuyue, the forbidden step you are wearing today is so plain, it looks like it was taken down from the altar in the ancestral hall."
Lin Shuyue snorted coldly and threw some fish food into the pond. The koi fish shattered the cloud shadows. "It's better than Sister Mingzhu's colorful skirt. She looks like a wild pheasant."
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Chu Yangyang, "This is the imperial palace, don't make trouble."
Shen Mingzhu glared at Lin Shuyue. Recently, Prince Jing has been close to the Minister of Revenue, Lord Lin. She heard that Lord Lin intends to marry Lin Shuyue to Prince Jing.
Shen Mingzhu would never allow anyone to dare to covet her brother, Prince Jing.
A sharp gleam flashed across her eyes, and it was Xiao Renyu who was standing in the corner who caught this moment.
She also followed Chu Yangyang to attend the spring viewing party today.
Lin Shuyue sneered as she walked past Chu Yangyang and Shen Mingzhu. Her moon-white skirt was embellished with pear blossoms. She nodded slightly as she brushed past Xiao Renyu...
