"General, thank you very much."
"Thank you for what?"
Xiao Chongjing intuitively felt that Yin Xiaorou was a little strange today.
He frowned, lowered his head and lifted Yin Xiaorou's chin, "What happened to you today?"
"nothing."
Yin Xiaorou hugged Xiao Chongjing with some emotion, raised her chin and looked up with a smile: "Maybe it's the Chinese New Year. Looking back on this whole year, Xiaorou seems to have brought a lot of trouble to the general, so I'm just grateful. Thank you, general."
"As long as you know."
Xiao Chongjing felt warm in his heart and reached out to hug her tightly.
The two hugged each other for a while. He sighed, lowered his head and pinched her nose, "Let's forget about the past. Don't be so confused in the future, okay? Let's live a good life."
Yin Xiaorou smiled and did not answer.
She let go of Xiao Chongjing, straightened his clothes, and then said gently: "General, the time is up, go quickly."
"Well, wait until I come back."
Xiao Chongjing smiled and kissed her forehead, then left the general's residence and came to the palace.
At the palace banquet.
Fortunately, the ministers and the female relatives were not at the same table, which made Xiao Chongjing, who was alone, not too miserable and shabby.
But unfortunately, because of everything that happened in the General's Mansion, the Xiao family is now almost avoided by everyone. Even Xu Wanchou, the son of his old boss, Marshal Xu, was very unfamiliar with him because of Xiao Qintang's incident...
"well……"
Xiao Chongjing sighed softly.
He was hiding in a corner drinking wine and worrying about how to deal with tonight. At this time, he saw the Sixth Prince walking through the crowd...
"Cousin Xiao."
The sixth prince smiled and took the initiative to say hello to Xiao Chongjing.
"Sixth Prince."
Xiao Chongjing smiled and quickly said hello.
Knowing in his heart that Concubine Xi had indeed calmed down, he immediately felt much more relaxed and became more cordial to the Sixth Prince.
Seeing the darkness around the Sixth Prince's eyes, he frowned worriedly and asked with concern: "Has the Sixth Prince not had a good rest recently? Why does he look so lackluster?"
"I don't know what's going on. I've been having nightmares lately."
"Having a nightmare?"
"Um."
The sixth prince complained in a low voice with a grimace on his face, "Don't tell my mother and concubine. When I sleep now, I dream about the Taifu asking me to endorse it every day. It's annoying to death..."
Just as he was speaking, the Sixth Prince paused and suddenly noticed a familiar smell on Xiao Chongjing's body.
He sniffed, frowned and took half a step back, "Cousin Xiao, why do you smell like ink?"
"What does it smell like?"
Xiao Chongjing looked strange and quickly looked at himself.
"It seems like this..." The sixth prince curiously touched the sachet hanging on Xiao Chongjing's waist.
After touching the sachet, he put his fingers to the tip of his nose and smelled it. He immediately nodded and said with great certainty: "That's it, it smells like ink..."
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Chongjing with some disgust, "Cousin, why do you use such a foul-smelling sachet?"
"Smells bad?"
Xiao Chongjing glanced at the sachet on his waist in confusion, and smiled helplessly, "You smelled it wrong, it's stuffed with cotton, it's odorless."
"It's obvious..."
The sixth prince frowned and muttered.
At this time, he felt a palpitation in his heart and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing that the Sixth Prince looked wrong, Xiao Chongjing quickly stepped forward to help him.
"I'm fine."
After glancing at the sachet on Xiao Chongjing's waist in confusion, the Sixth Prince quickly said goodbye and left.
When he returned to Concubine Xi, he complained softly, "Concubine, I feel a little uncomfortable..."
"What's wrong?"
Concubine Xi looked at her son with concern.
Seeing that something was really wrong with him, she quickly "accidentally" poured a glass of water on herself. On the pretext of changing clothes, he immediately returned to Pingle Palace with the Sixth Prince.
While sending everyone to guard outside, he quickly asked his close associates to ask for the imperial doctor.
She was telling her, "Remember, please ask the imperial doctor..."
When he turned around, he found that the sixth prince had fallen down with a pale face.
"How are you, Wen'er?"
Concubine Xi's heart tightened, and she quickly waved her hand to her confidants to call for the imperial doctor immediately. And she herself helped the sixth prince to the couch.
While wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with concern, she asked in a low voice, "Wen'er, what happened? Why did you suddenly become like this? Did you eat the wrong thing or something?"
"Cousin, it's cousin..."
The sixth prince was drowsy and lost consciousness. After repeating a few words of "fragrance bag" and "ink fragrance", he became confused and fussed about doing his homework.
"Sachet, ink fragrance, Xiao Chongjing..."
Concubine Xi frowned and was thinking about the relationship. At this time, Dr. Shao hurried over.
Seeing the condition of the Sixth Prince, he quickly stepped forward to take a pulse without saying anything...
"How about it?"
Seeing that Dr. Shao's expression was serious, Concubine Xi panicked and couldn't help but frown and get angry, "Speak quickly, what's going on here, Wen'er? You really want to kill me..."
"The Sixth Prince has been poisoned."
Dr. Shao frowned and said, while pressing the Sixth Prince's hand, he began to administer the acupuncture, "Mother, this poison is very strange. We have never seen it before, so we can only use silver needles to stabilize it temporarily. If we can find the poison, There may be a solution to the source.”
"Poisoned?"
Concubine Xi's expression changed drastically.
Reciting Xiao Chongjing's name silently in her heart, she suddenly remembered the letter Xiao Chongjing sent seven days ago.
When she was burning the letter, the Sixth Prince once said that he smelled a strange smell...
But she also smelled the smell and touched the letter. Why was she okay? Apart from constant nightmares, nothing has happened these past few days...
Could it be that there is something fishy...
Concubine Xi felt a chill in her heart and hurriedly walked outside and summoned the Sixth Prince's personal maid.
Steadying her mind, she looked at the palace maid, "Let me ask you, who did the Sixth Prince come into contact with today?"
"Back to your Majesty, the people the Sixth Prince has come into contact with today include the Young Master of the Hua Family, the Young Master of the Ruan Family, the Young Master of the Xu Family... and General Xiao."
"oh?"
Concubine Xi suppressed her anger and ordered expressionlessly, "What the Sixth Prince and General Xiao said and did, don't say a word. Tell me immediately."
"yes."
The maid nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "General Xiao said that the Sixth Prince's complexion was not good. The Sixth Prince said that he has been having nightmares recently... Oh, the Sixth Prince even touched General Xiao's sachet..."
"Sachet..."
Concubine Xi was shocked and almost fell down.
She grabbed the palace maid, her fingertips turning white, and ordered through gritted teeth, "Go! Find a way to bring Xiao Chongjing to me immediately!"
