When they woke up the next day, neither of them mentioned what happened last night, as if nothing had happened.
"lady……"
When Jiang Tang walked into the kitchen, the servants helping the cook were surprised.
She looked at the medicine boiling on the small stove and frowned slightly.
Today, the magistrate of Wanping County came to visit, and Xiao Yinhan went to meet someone, so she finally found time to come to the kitchen.
"Madam, I'll come, I'll come."
Seeing Jiang Tang actually trying to get the medicine pot, the maid beside her turned pale with fright.
The master's cruelty was still fresh in his memory, but no one dared to let his wife take action for fear of losing their lives.
Even because of the guest's visit yesterday, even more frightening news came from the backyard - the master may be a prince!
Seeing the little girl's pale face, Jiang Tang let her go and let her do it.
The medicine bowl was placed on the tray. It was dark and exuded a strong bitter smell. Jiang Tang frowned even more as he looked at it.
Because she knows better than anyone else that this medicine has no effect on Xiao Yinhan.
But if the system can't do anything, who can...
"Let's go."
Realizing that his mood was sinking, Jiang Tang forcibly blocked his thoughts and walked towards the courtyard with his maid.
Before he left, he said he would come back after meeting him. He should be in the house now. After walking all the way, the medicine is almost ready to be taken...
While thinking in confusion, Jiang Tang returned to the courtyard and received a piece of news:
The master is still seeing guests.
"I understand, go down."
Jiang Tang pursed his lips and sent the servant out.
She sat at the table, looked at the carved mahogany food box in front of her, and suddenly said: "Are you bluffing me? There must be medicine that can save him, right?"
System: [No. If this medicine really exists, the system will not hide it. 】
The tone of the system is different from the lively tone in the past, and is very calm.
The calmness made Jiang Tang's heart sink.
The thin white fingers clenched unconsciously: "Then how long can he live? I mean...according to the current situation."
System: [According to the male protagonist's current physical condition, if he is willing to drink medicine on time and learn to go to bed early and get up early to maintain health and exercise, he can probably live for fifteen years. ]
"Stop bluffing me!"
Jiang Tang's voice suddenly rose higher, and then he sneered: "Are you trying to tell me that his life is shorter now than in the original novel?"
In the original work, Xiao Yinhan suffered a lot more injuries from various assassinations than now, as well as life and death from relatives and friends. In this case, he lived to be 38 years old, and now he tells her that he only has 15 years left?
Almost immediately, Jiang Tang guessed that the system was lying to him.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't sigh, the system would have wanted to sigh for Jiang Tang.
[But in the original work, the male protagonist never used his own blood to resurrect the host.]
The system's words made the sneer on Jiang Tang's lips seem to be frozen by something.
"What?"
[The host has always resisted knowing the news about the male protagonist, so I have never seen it. Now that I have time, I will take a look. 】
As she spoke, a memory that did not belong to her emerged in Jiang Tang's mind...
I saw in the picture a man in a state of embarrassment and with a crazy expression, expressionlessly slashing his wrists again and again, bleeding out, and offering corpses...
Jiang Tang's heart seemed to be grabbed hard by invisible claws, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.
She knew he was paranoid and stubborn, but...
[The Xueyi tribe’s bloodline is very special and can detoxify hundreds of poisons. According to legend, it can also bring people back to life. But similarly, every bloodletting will cause great harm to the body. In the original work, the male protagonist did suffer a lot of injuries, and they were also very serious.
, but no matter how serious it is, it can't be worth the bloodletting he has to do day by day. Yesterday, the imperial doctor said that the loss was serious, but it was actually an understatement. His real situation was even more serious. He was able to live for fifteen years because he had a good foundation and a male.
The Lord has been nourished with various precious medicinal materials since he was a child. If it were an ordinary person, it would be considered amazing to live for 5 years.】
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the system's tone seemed a bit sarcastic.
Jiang Tang had no intention of pursuing it, she just thought of the original work again.
No matter how hard she tries, she always ends up with the same goal in the end...
Even because of her "efforts", he may be further away from death than in the original work.
A crisp sound of "Crack-" came from the room, and the maid guarding the door was shocked: "Madam, what happened?"
Jiang Tang slowly looked at the fragments of the water glass that he had thrown down on the ground, and the depression in his heart did not dissipate at all.
"It's okay, I accidentally broke the cup. Come in and clean it up."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the room opened from the outside.
The maid in green clothes rushed in. She was stunned when she saw the debris on the ground, and her eyes quickly fell on Jiang Tang: "Is Madam injured?"
Jiang Tang tightened her grip on the back of her hand, which was a bit stinging. If nothing unexpected happened when the debris flew just now, the back of her hand should have been scratched.
"It's okay, you can clean up first. Has the master come back?"
When the maid heard Jiang Tang say it was okay, she just squatted down to pick up the larger pieces. When she heard this, she stopped and said, "As for Madam, the master has not come back yet."
Not back yet...
Jiang Tang's brows really wrinkled this time. She looked at the food box in front of her. How long has it been? If she doesn't come back, the medicine will be cold.
"I'm going to take a look, you don't have to follow me."
After saying these words, she stood up and walked out, her frowning brows not loosening at all as she walked.
"Madam, the master is still seeing guests."
Seeing Jiang Tang approaching, the housekeeper at the door hurriedly walked up to greet him.
Even if they already knew Xiao Yinhan's identity, as long as the master didn't tell him, the servants could only pretend they didn't know.
For this reason, the "smart" butler specially gathered the servants who knew about it last night to give a warning.
It's just that he didn't expect that what he did last night would be in vain when the county magistrate came to the door in fear today.
Who could have imagined how the genius Meng Mengliang would feel when the concierge woke him up and said that the county magistrate and his men were guarding the door of the house.
At that time, the housekeeper thought that his ears had heard wrongly.
He hurriedly got dressed and went out to meet the guests. He was so flustered that he realized he had no shoes on halfway and ran back to put on shoes.
However, I was still confused about this person coming so early.
Wanping County is just a county magistrate, and the county magistrate is the largest official in the county. Housekeepers do not dare to neglect the county magistrate.
The attitude of the county magistrate was not generally good. When he learned that the "master" was still sleeping, he directly said that there was no need to disturb him. It was because he came too early and he could wait.
It's just that the housekeeper dares to let people wait at the door. The weather is a bit cold now.
He had no choice but to invite people into the house first, and then send people to... to guard outside the master's yard.
No one dared to wake up the master. After all, the "prince" had been sitting on the bench all afternoon yesterday. It was just the words of the county magistrate...
Fortunately, the county magistrate had a very good temper. He was not impatient at all until the sun was up, and he chatted with the housekeeper very warmly, saying that if there was any need for help in the house, he could be contacted.
Although the housekeeper is capable, he was always frightened when he was told this by an official.
At the same time, I am increasingly worried that it will be the same as yesterday...
Fortunately, today's master is particularly easy to talk to. When he heard that the county magistrate was coming, he agreed to meet.
"Aren't you done talking yet?"
The housekeeper couldn't stop Jiang Tang from saying this. As a servant, how could he know the situation of his master and the county magistrate?
"Not yet, I've already changed two tea courses." The butler said truthfully.
"I see."
Jiang Tang walked up to the hall, and the maid behind him was holding the food box she had prepared.
"I have met the county magistrate."
A soft and touching female voice suddenly sounded, and the county magistrate, who had vaguely heard Jiang Tang's identity, stood up from his stool almost immediately:
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, madam, you're too polite."
The county magistrate's dog-legged behavior shocked the housekeeper who followed him in.
"Why did you come here? Didn't I ask you to wait for me in the room?"
Xiao Yinhan said that the man had already stood up and walked towards the girl.
The county magistrate on the side was slightly shocked when he saw this scene.
"Yesterday, the doctor said that my body needs to be well-prepared. After the medicine was ready, I still didn't see him coming, so I had to come by myself."
Jiang Tang said and stretched out his hand towards the maid.
And when he heard that she dared to talk to the prince like this, the county magistrate's eyes almost popped out.
It wasn't until he got the medicine bowl that Jiang Tang looked at the county magistrate as if he remembered something: "The magistrate won't blame me, right?"
The county magistrate suddenly came to his senses: "Don't dare, I've been bothering you for too long."
Jiang Tang nodded and looked at Xiao Yinhan: "Master, do you want to take medicine?"
Xiao Yinhan's eyes slowly moved from the dark medicine bowl back to the girl's fair and delicate face, and then suddenly smiled:
"Of course I want to drink the medicine that Tangtang personally sent. It's just that the magistrate and I still have something to talk about. How about I drink it after we finish talking?"
Hearing Xiao Yinhan discussing with the woman so calmly, the county magistrate who was almost frightened to death by his cold looks was even more surprised.
At the same time, there was even a bit of envy flashing in his eyes.
But after hearing his words, Jiang Tang's smile faded a little: "But I've been through it all, can't I drink it now?"
Jiang Tang had a vague feeling in his heart that if she left like this, this guy might just stop drinking.
She doesn't want to gamble.
Xiao Yinhan looked at her, something incomprehensible flashed in his deep eyes.
"good."
As he spoke, he reached out and took the medicine from the girl's hand. It was indeed not hot when he took it, so he drank it without blinking.
Taking the medicine bowl back, Jiang Tang finally smiled: "Since I and the magistrate still have important matters to discuss, I will leave first."
"Madam, walk slowly. Madam, walk slowly."
The county magistrate almost wanted to give him away, but the person next to him gave him a cold look and stopped him deeply.
"I send you."
Xiao Yinhan squeezed Jiang Tang's little hand and really sent him out.
"It's almost lunch time, Your Majesty, please don't delay too long."
Jiang Tang looked at him and said softly.
Xiao Yinhan nodded: "Okay, it won't take long."
After saying this, he suddenly turned around, and his sharp eyes suddenly fell on him, and the county magistrate seemed to be awakened: "Wang... don't worry, when the case comes up... I will report it truthfully."
Similarly, when Jiang Tang walked outside, the flowery smile on his face disappeared.
She knew it was a conspiracy, but she still fell into it.
Not long after, lunch was served.
When Jiang Tang appeared in the hall again, he had already changed his clothes.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so please don't mind these dishes."
After Jiang Tang finished speaking, the county magistrate had already stood up: "No, no, no, I have something urgent to do, so I have to leave."
Without waiting for Jiang Tang to say anything, he bowed quickly and turned around to leave.
He was running away, as if there was an evil spirit behind him.
Jiang Tang looked at Xiao Yinhan: "?"
-
"Sir, what do you think? This one is really..."
The master waited at the door for a long time. Finally, when the county magistrate came out, he hurriedly went to greet him.
"We'll talk about it when we get back to the car."
As soon as he came out, the magistrate's face was serious, without the timid and flattery he had shown in the mansion just now.
"Although he didn't admit it, his momentum and conversation didn't stop him."
Recalling the scene where he was frightened just because of the young man's few words, the county magistrate's throat moved.
He vaguely understood why this prince's reputation was so bad. It was really the stern look on his face that was so scary.
What the lady never expected was that before she came in, he and the prince were just sitting in the hall, without actually speaking a word at all.
It wasn't until she delivered the medicine and left that the person said a few more words to him, and what he asked about was the Beijing lawsuit.
"I told him that the crimes committed by those families would be reported truthfully. He didn't say anything, so he probably... acquiesced."
The county magistrate himself had no idea what he said.
"It should be so. Since that person didn't say anything, he probably agreed with your actions." The master nodded.
"So those families..."
The county magistrate's eyes darkened slightly: "Just accept your fate."
When the master heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he didn't answer.
-
"My lord, try this dish."
After all, the heavy rain affected the surrounding villages and towns. The food was much inferior to that of the capital. In addition, Jiang Tang specially ordered to make light and healthy food. The chef tried his best, but because there were not many ingredients, the food...
It's pretty average.
Xiao Yinhan was not picky about food, he would eat whatever Jiang Tang gave him.
only……
"Don't stare at me like that, I'll think I'm dead."
Xiao Yinhan said this to Jiang Tang with a smile. The look of him not caring about making fun of himself made Jiang Tang choke up inexplicably: "Your Majesty."
Jiang Tang found that her emotions were a little too strong than before. If it were before, she wouldn't care about this at all.
He wants to go...
The moment that word was about to appear, she was killed again.
"I'm full, please eat slowly."
Afraid that he might lose control of his emotions and slap him twice, Jiang Tang put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked out.
The housekeeper on the side was dumbfounded. I wonder if it was a misunderstanding. Since yesterday, Madam's temper seems to have become much louder. Did you dare to lose your temper with the Master today?
The master won't be angry, right?
Just when I was thinking this, I heard the man laugh: "Why are you still angry?"
Throwing away the chopsticks, Xiao Yinhan also stood up, followed him in a few steps, and caught the person who had already walked to the door with his head buried in his arms.
"Don't tell me you cried."
He smiled and forcibly lifted the girl's face with his slender fingers.
Jiang Tang was just depressed and didn't cry.
She just didn't know how to face him anymore.
She wanted to tell him, Xiao Yinhan, I don't love you, you don't have to act like this.
