The dome is decorated with stars, the silver candlelight reflects the cold screen, and the stone steps are as cold as ice and snow at night.
Xiao Yuehuai went to the front hall early to wait. When the sky turned completely dark, she did not wait for Su Ying to come.
A Lu was waiting nearby. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but said angrily: "What does the prince-in-law mean? He invited someone to invite the princess, but he himself can't come?"
Xiao Yuehuai was not in a hurry, and slowly shook her small Lingluo fan: "Maybe something delayed me."
Alu was impatient: "I'll go and find out more, please."
After saying that, he rushed out without waiting for the princess to stop him, and went to the end of the house to talk to his servants.
Xiao Yuehuai couldn't even laugh or cry, she picked up the tea cup and drank a cup casually.
In the blink of an eye, Alu hurried over and said to her indignantly: "Princess! The prince-in-law came back from the school half an hour ago! He has been staying in the study. He doesn't keep his promise, what are you waiting for? ?”
Xiao Yuehuai lowered her eyebrows without any emotion. After a moment of silence, she said: "If that's the case, I will go to the study to invite you in person. You can wait here for a while, I will come when I go."
A Lu was dumbfounded and said with confusion on his face: "Princess, why are you still leaning on me? This is not like you."
Xiao Yuehuai smiled and ignored it. Holding the fan in hand, she stood up and walked to the verandah. The servants led the way to the study.
She wanted to show some courtesy and take the initiative to break the deadlock, but as soon as she arrived outside, she heard a complaint coming from inside: "The general is so seriously injured, he shouldn't go to the school grounds again in the evening. Look... this wound It cracked again. I don’t know when it will get better this time.”
Immediately afterwards, Su Ying was scolded: "You just apply medicine, why do you talk so much?"
"General, I can't stand it anymore! You said you were protecting the princess like this, but she didn't appreciate it. She actually did this to you when you were in trouble. I don't know what her heart is made of. It's so hard-hearted. . If it’s too late, you’ll be dead!”
Su Ying lowered his voice: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to mention this matter again? I have my own concerns."
"Could it be that the general wants to..."
Before the man finished speaking, the place became quiet.
Xiao Yuehuai stood outside the window and couldn't help but blush as she listened: "I didn't expect...her suspicion came true. Su Ying really pretended not to know."
She took two steps back, clutching her heart that was pounding in her chest, and ran away. She was confused all the way, and when she returned to the front hall, looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, it only made her feel chilly:
Since Su Ying knew that she was the culprit who almost killed him, he still kept silent about it. What was his purpose? Could it be that this person is the same as Lu Pingsheng and wants to use her mother's family's power to consolidate her position in the court...
She made random guesses and didn't even hear Alu's call.
Until a man's voice rang in my ears: "Princess, please forgive me, but I really deserve the punishment for not coming as promised."
Xiao Yuehuai woke up immediately, stared at the panting Lang Jun in front of her, and couldn't help shaking her shoulders. He actually chased him out? Did he just find her eavesdropping outside the window?
Staring at his shiny silver face, Xiao Yuehuai clenched her palms and said with a hint of ridicule in her voice: "The prince-in-law is here at this time. Do you think it's fun to play with this princess?"
Su Ying paused slightly, bowed slightly, and lowered his posture and said, "I didn't mean to do it. I was in a hurry when I was ordered to go to the school grounds this evening. I forgot to find someone to inform the princess. It's really my fault that I made you wait for such a long time." Sin."
Xiao Yuehuai looked at him coldly, cursing in her heart: You've probably been looking for an opportunity to establish your authority for a long time, right? Knowing that I want to harm you, and still pretending to be innocent, it's really a good show.
She said angrily: "How can I dare to blame the prince-in-law? You are the hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the border area, and you are blessed with great glory. How can I, a powerless princess, scold you at will?"
"It's a pity that... all my efforts were in vain and the delicious food on this table was wasted. The prince-in-law can stay and eat by himself. I drank the northwest wind all night and I am full now, so I will leave first."
She said something with a gun and a stick, poking Su Ying's spine mercilessly.
Xiao Yuehuai didn't even bother to look at him, she pulled up A Lu's sleeves and walked away with a stern look on her face.
Su Ying held on to his weak and weak body, swaying in the cold wind. He didn't hold back, and waited until the girl's figure disappeared in front of the corridor, then he fell down, lowered his head and gritted his teeth to endure the pain.
Lieutenant General Xun Chong quietly walked out from the darkness, stretched out his hand to support him, and said with a guilty look on his face: "General, what happened today is all my fault. I will accept my punishment."
Su Ying struck a blow, and his voice became cold and sharp: "Of course you deserve to be punished! I have repeatedly emphasized that I must explain clearly that I went to the school to lead the training, and tell the princess that I was unable to keep the appointment. Why did you deliberately Are you going to hide it?"
Xun Chong said dejectedly: "The general is so angry... I want the princess to have a taste of being unpopular."
Su Ying was even more annoyed when he heard this: "Who allowed you to humiliate the princess?!"
He growled and touched the wound, and suddenly he was sweating all over from the pain. He suppressed it and calmed down for a while, then said dullly: "You go to the military camp to get twenty army sticks. You don't have to come to see me in the next three days."
At this time, Su Ying thought that the princess was angry because he was late and unannounced. When the general learned from Xun Chong that she had been waiting in the front hall until now, he already felt something bad, so he put on Clothes came in a hurry to apologize.
He didn't know that Xiao Yuehuai had long heard what they said in the corridor, and now she was wary of him, thinking that he had bad intentions.
Inside Guanhe Pavilion.
Xiao Yuehuai held her breath and gradually relaxed after entering the house.
She had a livid face, and Alu couldn't help but feel frightened as he watched from the sidelines. He cautiously asked, "Princess went to the Prince Consort's academy. Why are you so angry?"
Xiao Yuehuai didn't reply, thinking about what to do next.
For the time being, she didn't know what Su Ying was hiding. Being around such a person always made her feel scared. She was afraid that one day Su Ying would take revenge and kill her in the General's Mansion without anyone noticing. Among them, she really lost more than she gained.
We have to find a way to move out of here!
Xiao Yuehuai thought that Su Ying must have discovered that she was eavesdropping and then chased her out to test her.
But...this is just right.
Now that the two of them have broken their skin, there is no need to continue to pretend and pretend. Anyway, her husband has always been a burden to her. She can't let such a person delay her plans!
She was confused and confused all night long, thinking of a way to escape.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, Su Ying personally made the most popular peach blossom soup in Beijing to please her.
Xiao Yuehuai was very suspicious of his intentions. She always felt that the bowl of soup was poisonous, so she refused to shirk it and said: "I don't like the aroma of peach blossoms. It's better for the prince-in-law to eat this soup himself."
Su Ying left lonely, looking like her sincere heart had been severely violated, but she was still able to bear it.
So he took Alu to retrieve it, and happened to see him feeding the peach blossom soup to the raccoon slaves raised in the vine garden. Xiao Yuehuai thought for a while, but after all, she didn't make any noise. When the man left, Alu beside him suddenly screamed:
"Princess, Gong, Princess!! Look at that raccoon slave..."
Xiao Yuehuai looked over and saw that the raccoon slave who had eaten the peach blossom soup fell to the ground vomiting and dying within a moment. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, she covered her mouth and did not dare to scream, and her whole body became horrified.
He actually dared to poison!
