Blood spattered on his old face, and the kind and kind look he had in the past disappeared in an instant, and there were bursts of murderous intent hidden in his cloudy eyes.
Chu Jiaoli swallowed nervously, Concubine Ling actually had such a huge hatred for Bei Gonglie.
What does tiger poison not eat its children mean? Concubine Ling does not seem to be talking about Beigong Tengxiao, but... isn't Beigong Tengxiao an only son?
"You're frightened." Hearing the gentle and kind voice again, Chu Jiaoli slowly raised her head. The blood stains on Bei Gonglie's face had been wiped off. If the dragon robe had not been stained with the bright red, it seemed that just now
Everything that happened was just a dream she had.
Recalling the grand fireworks two months ago, the brilliant colors that lit up the night sky shocked her heart.
However, the owner of that gift was lying here coldly with miserable eyes open, and was killed by the man who doted on her to the heavens...
She clenched the fists in her sleeves tightly to calm herself down, lowered her head and said, "The emperor is the one, and it is really scary that Concubine Ling is so cunning to the emperor."
Bei Gonglie showed a faint smile and said: "Nothing happened anymore. It's thanks to you that I saved my life."
Chu Jiaoli bit her lip gently and said, "This is what a slave should do."
Bei Gonglie turned to Wen Ruyu and said, "Doctor Wen, write a prescription for Jiao Li and make sure to take good care of her body."
Wen Ruyu lowered her head and responded: "I obey your order."
Walking out of the Qingxin Hall, Chu Jiaoli looked at the back of the tall man in front of her. She had seen this imperial doctor twice before. Although he looked stunning, he was unusually low-key. She had never heard of his superb medical skills.
If he had appeared earlier in the previous life, wouldn't Bei Gonglie have been saved from death?
But...since his medical skills are so superb, she found a good opportunity.
She said with a serious expression: "Doctor Wen, please wait a moment."
Wen Ruyu stopped, turned around, raised her pretty eyebrows slightly, and said, "What's the matter, Miss Jiaoli?"
Chu Jiaoli walked up to him, took out an exquisite jade cicada from her sleeve and handed it to him.
Wen Ruyu looked at her with a smile but not a smile, and said in a hoarse voice, "If it is a token of love, I will accept it happily."
Chu Jiaoli narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Doctor Wen, this joke is not funny."
Hearing this, Wen Ruyu smiled softly and said, "Miss Jiaoli is so strict, so men don't like her."
Chu Jiaoli still looked calm and said: "Doctor Wen, my time is precious. If Dr. Wen is not willing to help, I will find someone else." After saying this, she turned and left.
Wen Ruyu was stunned for a while and immediately called her: "Okay, okay, what do you want from me?"
Chu Jiaoli exhaled softly and said, "I want to buy some poison from you."
A trace of interest flashed in Wen Ruyu's eyes, and she said, "Who are you trying to harm?"
"Someone who has no interest in you." Chu Jiaoli replied calmly.
Wen Ruyu took the jade cicada from her hand, looked at the sun and said, "What kind of poison is needed?"
Chu Jiaoli thought for a while and said: "It can't cause death, but it can't recover either. It's best to make people fall into a state of stupor (vegetative state). Is it so poisonous?"
Hearing this, Wen Ruyu gently raised the corners of her lips, took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms and threw it towards her, saying, "I just happened to have it with me."
Chu Jiaoli took the medicine bottle and held it tightly in her hand.
"There's only one last pill left. It dissolves when it comes into contact with water. Just put it in a cup of water and find a way for the person to take it."
Chu Jiaoli nodded and said, "Thank you."
When we returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was getting late, and the maids had already lit lamps everywhere.
Beigong Tengxiao was already reviewing the memorial at the desk. Hearing the footsteps at the door, he slowly raised his head and said with a smile and a sarcasm: "Why didn't you spend the night in Qingxin Hall?"
The anger hasn’t gone away yet…
Chu Jiaoli breathed out softly, stepped into the door, closed the door with her back to him, and followed his words: "This slave is not capable enough and has not made such rapid progress, which has disappointed His Highness.
"
"Have you let me down?" The voice behind her startled Chu Jiaoli. When she turned around, she saw Beigong Tengxiao, who was very close at hand.
He raised his hand to lift her chin. There was an irresistible intimidation in his exquisite phoenix eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Chu Jiaoli, do you have to make me angry to death to be happy?"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli sighed helplessly and said, "This slave is following His Highness' wishes."
"Follow my wishes?" Bei Gong Tengxiao looked into her fearless eyes, pinched her face and moved closer to her, and sneered, "Okay, now, I also want you to follow my wishes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and tried to cover her lips.
Chu Jiaoli slowly closed her eyes, calm and without any trace of panic.
After seeing no movement for a long time, Chu Jiaoli opened her eyes and saw Beigong Tengxiao sighing softly and letting her go.
She raised her eyes and looked at his handsome face, and there was still a faint mark of the slap on her right cheek.
She pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Bei Gong Tengxiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Looking at her sincere expression, his arrogance subsided a little and said, "What are you sorry for?"
Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and said, "In the wisteria forest, I stretched out my hand and hit His Highness. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"A small fight is harmless in my opinion." Beigong Tengxiao chuckled, grabbed her right wrist, and said, "I just don't know if you have the courage to raise your hand when my father kisses you.
Where are you hand-slapping him?"
She suddenly trembled when her right hand was grabbed, and then she suddenly remembered that she was still wearing the white jade bracelet gifted by Beigong Lie on her right wrist.
Bei Gong Tengxiao felt a touch of coldness, and soon saw the warm bracelet. He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised her hand with a sneer, looked at it, and said: "Hey, new bracelet."
Chu Jiaoli bit her lip nervously, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and whispered: "It's... the emperor wants to reward this slave."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao sneered and said: "There is no need to explain to me, I am not related to you, and I don't care at all what you want to do."
After saying that, he let go of her hand.
Chu Jiaoli felt a sense of disappointment in her heart and was slightly stunned.
Beigong Tengxiao turned around and walked to the desk and sat down, saying: "Jingyue, send someone to Xianghou's Mansion to inform you that I haven't had enough fun with Miss Xiang today, so we will continue tomorrow."
Jingyue, who was outside the room, lowered her head and responded, saying, "Yes."
Chu Jiaoli trembled slightly and said, "Do you need a slave to accompany you?"
Beigong Tengxiao glanced at her and said, "How dare I bother you? My future empress."
Chu Jiaoli's heart suddenly twitched, and she clenched the fist in her sleeve tightly.
What he said was correct. She really wanted to be Bei Gonglie's concubine. She had no way to refute it.
However, the words coming out of his mouth were so cold and cruel...
She slowly bowed to him and said, "My slave, please leave."
After saying that, she opened the door and walked out.
With a "snap" sound, the wolf hair held in Beigong Tengxiao's hand was pinched into two pieces. The ink stains were stained on the unfinished memorial and quickly spread out.
