God knows how much Xia Luotong cared about this matter. He always wanted to cultivate his inner strength, gain more ability to protect himself, and gain more peace of mind.
Before, she was busy detoxifying, and after detoxifying, she had to concentrate on recuperating due to her weak body. Now that she had finally adjusted her body, she couldn't wait to start practicing.
But apart from being excited, Wu Zechen's thoughtfulness also warmed her heart. She could clearly feel his indulgence and doting on her. Perhaps it was because of this that she finally became aware of his deep love. I realized that I had to face my own feelings.
"Okay, it's settled." Wu Zechen looked at her with a smile, and the look in his eyes suddenly changed a little, and he seemed to be a little more eager, "Can Tong'er stay in the main house tonight?"
Thinking of the kiss just now, Wu Zechen felt hot in his heart.
He could feel her submission, and it was precisely because he noticed her acceptance of him that he became more and more excited.
Xia Luotong naturally thought of the kiss just now, his face suddenly turned red, and he glared at him: "Go back to the wing tonight! We'll talk about the rest later!"
Although Wu Zechen has some regrets, he has made a big step forward today. He knows that she is equally affectionate for him and is willing to get close to him. This is enough. She still needs time to adapt. He is willing to wait for her.
But he couldn't keep her here tonight, so he certainly wouldn't let her leave so easily. He hugged her for a while and then took her hand and sent her back to the wing.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Xu family's residence in the Ministry of Revenue was quite depressing.
Xu Caidie was hiding in the boudoir, crying hoarsely. Beside her, a maid was cleaning up the messy debris on the floor. Those were the objects that Xu Caidie had just smashed.
The palace has searched for a long time and also interrogated all the people who had come into contact with Xu Caidi at the palace banquet tonight, but nothing has been found yet. They are all people with status. Naturally, they cannot be detained in the palace forever. Like They were interrogated like prisoners. After all, Xu Caidi was only the daughter of an official, not Xu Shangshu himself.
After the investigation failed, everyone in the Xu family had no choice but to return home temporarily and wait for further news from the officials.
As soon as Xu Caidi returned to her boudoir, she turned around and smashed all the objects in sight. What she cared about most was this face. Now that this face was ruined like this, it made her How could she bear it.
At this time, her face was even more terrifying than when she was watching the fireworks on the terrace. Her whole face was as wrinkled as if she had been burned. She looked particularly terrifying, as if she was an evil ghost coming out of hell. Both Master Xu and Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to look at her. After Xu Caidi looked in the mirror, her screams could be heard far away, and she even smashed the mirror on the spot.
What made Xu Caidi feel most desperate was that the palace doctor said that even if she worked hard to repair her appearance, it would be difficult for her to return to her former appearance. In other words, she was destined to be ugly for the rest of her life!
When Xu Caidi heard what the imperial doctor said in the palace, she fainted on the spot and took a while to wake up.
Master Xu and Mrs. Xu watched quietly in Xu Caidi's boudoir. It was not until Xu Cadie vented her anger that Master Xu said with a gloomy face: "Die'er, can you guess who is plotting against you?"
The imperial doctor once said that the reason why Xu Caidi was disfigured was due to poisoning. The poison was very clever and could not have been contracted naturally. Someone must have poisoned her to do such a thing. This person must have had a grudge against Xu Caidi.
Hearing Mr. Xu's question, Xu Caidi's eyes flashed with an unknown meaning, but her eyes were red and swollen and she cried: "I don't know, Die'er has never had any grudges with others on weekdays, so she can't think of anything like this." Whoever did this cruel thing to harm Die'er is really a snake-hearted person!"
Xu Caidi started to cry again as she spoke, but she actually did not tell the truth because she had already guessed the person who poisoned her.
At first, she really didn't know who had done it, but when the imperial doctor told her what kind of poison she had been poisoned, she immediately thought of one person——
Princess An Xia Luotong!
The reason why she thought of Xia Luotong immediately was because she had poisoned Xia Luotong before! During the banquet at the Xia Mansion, the bowl of boiling hot soup that was meant to be thrown at Xia Luotong contained the poison that she had received today!
How could there be such a coincidence in the world? There are so many poisons that can cause disfigurement, but it happened to be the poison she was going to give Xia Luotong, but in the end she was poisoned! ?
Although she had no idea when and how Xia Luotong poisoned her, the only time she and Xia Luotong actually met was when she bumped into him intentionally in the corridor. They have always been separated by a considerable distance.
But she could almost conclude that the poison was administered by Xia Luotong, Princess An!
But she couldn't tell her about it, because no one except her personal maid knew about her poisoning. Even her father and mother didn't know about it.
After all, Xia Luotong's identity was sensitive, and she was the only Princess An in the Zhou Dynasty. She didn't know what impact her incident would have on the family, so it was impossible for her to tell her father that she was just jealous of Xia Luotong and Liu Zi. Mo got close, so he poisoned Xia Luotong.
What's more, the matter didn't end there. At today's palace banquet, she also joined forces with He Jingyao to taint Xia Luotong's innocence and stage a scene of catching someone raped in bed. Although this did not happen in the end for some reason. , but they did do this, and they couldn't let their father know about it.
It was precisely for these reasons that Xu Caidi did not tell the truth to her father, but chose to hide it for the time being. Besides, she had always been a well-behaved person in front of her father. His father would never have thought that something like this would happen. So many things happened.
Now that her appearance has been damaged, she must not let her father disappoint her again, otherwise she has reached the age of getting married, and she still doesn't know what her father will plan for the rest of her life!
"Die'er, please accept the treatment with peace of mind. Daddy will definitely catch the poisoner and seek justice for you." Mr. Xu frowned and was already thinking about how to track down the murderer next.
"Thank you, dad, for making the decision for your daughter!" Xu Caidi's eyes were filled with tears, and she was grateful to her father on her face, but in her heart, she didn't have much hope for this at all. Compared with this, she was more concerned about another thing, "Dad, my daughter Can her face be restored to its original state? Is what the doctor said true? Is it true that my daughter really has to bear such a face for the rest of her life..."
