Yun Zhuiyue looked down and saw bruises and bruises on Qu Lan's arms.
Suddenly, I shivered.
"Damn, I didn't do this, did I?"
Qu Lan looked even more helpless, "Am I going to pinch myself and get bruises all over my body?"
Yun Zhuiyue frowned, thinking about it.
Sighing heavily, she grabbed Qu Lan's arm, "Qu Lan, does it hurt?"
"Kind of."
While looking at the pinch mark, Yun Zhuiyue sighed, "I didn't expect that I could have such courage even when I was asleep! I am really powerful and powerful!"
Qu Lan's face darkened calmly.
actually……
This little woman is very capable of making people look bad.
Yun Zhuiyue jumped out of bed, pulled Qu Lan up, and asked, "Qu Lan, why haven't you seen anyone in the past two days?"
"It has been so hot these past two days that I drove it to the fox hole."
"Fox Cave?" Yun Zhuiyue's brows suddenly lit up, "Indeed, it should be sent to the Fox Cave."
Yun Zhuiyue spread out her limbs, and when she moved, she froze instantly. When she moved again, she exclaimed ecstatically, "My martial arts has recovered!"
Qu Lan seemed puzzled, "What kind of martial arts has recovered?"
"You don't understand even after I tell you! Some time ago, my martial arts was useless. Now, it took me so long to recover. It feels really wonderful."
When he moved his body, his martial arts did not fully recover. Instead, he recovered to about 70% to 80%.
Although I'm a little disappointed that I haven't fully recovered, even if it's 70% or 80%, that's enough.
Don't you want to enter the palace?
What kind of palace etiquette should I learn?
Concubine De wants to punish her, but even if she doesn't have martial arts skills, she can deal with them.
Now that she has martial arts, she is more confident.
Qu Lan smiled and said, "It's good to resume martial arts, but you can't skip breakfast. Zhuiyue, I ordered someone to make glutinous rice cakes, which you like to eat."
"Glutinous rice cakes?" Yun Zhuiyue glanced at Qu Lan in surprise, "How do you know I like to eat them?"
Qu Lan smiled unpredictably, "I guess."
Yun Zhuiyue took Qu Lan's hand and left, "Let's go eat."
Qu Lan let her pull her, and they came to the flower hall together.
The flower hall is decorated with vines and bamboo leaves and is very warm.
Yun Zhuiyue usually likes to dine in this flower hall.
In the flower hall, plates of exquisite pastries are placed on classical carved peach wood tables and chairs.
There are all kinds of colors to whet your appetite.
Two maids were guarding the flower hall. They were also the only two maids in the Prince's Mansion. One was named Qingqing and the other was named Rulan.
The two of them usually perform their duties and act cautiously. They are two caring and attentive girls.
When the two saw them coming, they stepped forward to salute, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Princess!"
Qu Lan raised his hand slightly and ordered them to get up.
After Qingqing and Rulan thanked them in unison, they separated and pulled out chairs for them.
Qu Lan raised a faint smile and looked at Yun Zhuiyue, "Zhuiyue, let's have breakfast."
"good."
Yun Zhuiyue raised her eyebrows and responded, then sat down carelessly.
When I sat down, I found a plate of eggs on the plate.
She loved eggs, so she reached out and picked one up and peeled it.
Qu Lan looked at her with a smile and told Qingqing, "Go and prepare a glass of milk."
Yun Zhuiyue was eating egg yolk. When she heard the milk, she almost choked. She coughed several times uncomfortably, and finally regained her breath, "What? Milk?"
Qu Lan looked at her slightly depressed look and nodded with a smile, "Well, if you eat eggs, combined with milk, it will be more nutritious."
Yun Zhuiyue carefully took a bite of the egg and thought: There was milk in ancient times.
Later, I felt that this was nonsense. Didn’t cows exist in ancient times? As long as there are cows, of course there is milk!
When Qingqing held a glass of fresh milk and placed it in front of her.
Yun Zhuiyue held the milk in the cup and thought very depressedly.
Is this milk directly squeezed from a cow? It is not processed.
Is this drinkable?
There was always a psychological effect in her mind, and she felt that the freshly squeezed milk was not very hygienic...
Seeing Yun Zhuiyue staring at the milk in distress, Qu Lan asked in confusion, "Zhuiyue, why don't you drink it? Don't you like drinking milk?"
Yun Zhuiyue shook his head, "No..."
"Princess, this is freshly squeezed milk. You should drink it while it is fresh. Over time, it will affect the taste and nutrition." The maid Qingqing continued what Qu Lan said.
Yun Zhuiyue glanced at Qingqing, then at the milk, and put it to her lips. After smelling a fishy smell, she put the milk down again and asked Qu Lan with interest, "Qu Lan, you said the chicken came first?"
Or does the egg come first?"
Qu Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course the chicken comes first."
"Where can a chicken come from without eggs?" Yun Zhuiyue said cheerfully.
In modern times, research and discussion on this issue always lead to no results.
She was actually curious about why Qu Lan insisted that the chicken came first.
Qu Lan smiled at the interested look on her face, picked up a small steamed bun, smiled slightly, and said calmly, "Where would the eggs come from without the chicken! Chaiyue, just like us, without men and women, where would the eggs come from?
Children? The same goes for chickens. Without roosters and hens, where would chicks come from? From this we can conclude that chickens came first, then eggs, and then chicks!"
After listening to Qu Lan's explanation, Yun Zhuiyue suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't stop smiling. He gave Qu Lan a thumbs up and said, "Qu Lan, you are so talented! This explanation is really good. I think this is the first step.
The conclusion of whether the chicken or the egg comes first is finally confirmed! This also illustrates a problem, cooperation is very important."
Qu Lan glanced at her meaningfully and took a sip of the steamed bun, "Cooperation is indeed very important, Zhuiyue... When will we cooperate? It seems that we haven't... the wedding ceremony yet!"
Yun Zhuiyue choked, and he suddenly discussed this issue.
Ren was a modern, new-era woman, and she was a little unnatural. She coughed covertly, "We will discuss this topic later. The most important thing for us now is to eat first."
As she said that, she drank the milk while holding it in her hand. Before the milk was in her mouth, her expression suddenly turned cold. She suddenly threw the milk to the ground, turned around, and flashed towards the maid Qingqing's face at lightning speed.
Next to her, a hand was firmly stuck on her neck, with sharp eyes, "Tell me! Did you pour this milk?"
Yun Zhuiyue suddenly turned her back and pinched Qingqing.
Ru Lan turned pale with fright, "Crown Princess..."
Qu Lan stepped forward in confusion and tried to speak, "Chasing the Moon..."
Yun Zhuiyue shrunk her cold eyes and shouted, "Shut up!" She held her hand a little harder, making a sound like bones were breaking, and glared at Qingqing, "Speak!"
Qingqing swallowed hard, but surprisingly calmly said, "Yes."
"Tell me! Why did you poison me?" Yun Zhuiyue's cold eyes were like arrows, fierce and decisive.
"I...I don't know what the princess is talking about? What...poisoning?" Qingqing asked with a calm face and no clue.
"Pretend to be stupid!" Yun Zhuiyue said fiercely. At the same time, his hand tightened, his eyes suddenly sank, and he avoided Qingqing's sudden thrust of the dagger.
Then, he squeezed it mercilessly with his hand.
There was a "click", the sound of broken bones.
And as soon as her fingers loosened, Qingqing's body fell down.
Rulan looked at Qingqing, who had no signs of life, and screamed in fright. She covered her eyes and did not dare to look. Her face turned pale and she was shaking.
Yun Zhuiyue glanced mercilessly at the dead Qingqing on the ground, and glanced at the frightened maid Rulan, "What's your name? You've never seen a dead person?"
"Madam...concubine..." Rulan's voice trembled, her hands tightly wrapped around her, looking at her in fear. As if she was afraid that she would suddenly strangle her like Qingqing, her body kept shrinking back.
Yun Zhuiyue snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Don't worry! I only kill people who don't keep their peace! As for you, you are just a little mouse, I don't even bother to take action!"
After saying that, she kicked Qu Lan in front of her and said, "Stay away! I'll drag the body out and burn it. Look at how weak you are, go back and wash yourself. I'm sorry you don't have the guts to watch it burn to death."
people!"
Qu Lan looked a little pale and haggard, "Zhuiyue, why did you kill her?"
Yun Zhuiyue dragged Qingqing's body and hummed, "I didn't kill her! It was her who wanted to kill me!"
Qu Lan stopped talking and just gave her a strange look.
Seeing that he was still standing in front of her, Yun Zhuiyue cursed dissatisfiedly, "Qu Lan, you are just a piece of wood! Get out of my way! Do you want this body to be left here to stink? Or are you scared to death?"
This is not surprising, I forgot that you are a weak scholar and have no power to tie a chicken!"
Qu Lan's gentle and gentle face seemed to twitch inconspicuously, and he moved his feet abruptly to give up his position.
Yun Zhuiyue snorted and dragged Qingqing's body out with one hand.
She dragged Qingqing's body all the way to the backyard.
The backyard of the Prince's Mansion is an abandoned and empty courtyard.
It is overgrown with weeds and is not usually seen here.
Yun Zhuiyue carried Qingqing's body to an empty place, walked to the corner, and took out a pile of firewood.
She threw the firewood directly onto Qing Qing's body and started a fire.
After a while, the fire filled the air.
Firewood was lit on Qingqing's body.
Yun Zhuiyue continued to add firewood, and sparks suddenly filled the sky for half a day.
The sounds of burning bones and flesh and firewood mingled with each other, and she didn't even frown when she looked at the half-burnt Qingqing.
His eyes were cold and ruthless, and he kept adding firewood.
The fire is getting more and more intense...
And on the top of the palace of the Prince's Mansion.
A figure, one white and one black, stood in a secret and wonderful place, looking at the firelight opposite.
The corner of Qu Lan's lips slightly raised into a faint smile, "She is crueler and more ruthless than I thought."
Wei Yu touched his chin, nodded in agreement and said, "Your Highness, as your Highness's woman, this is how she should be. She is indeed the most suitable woman for Your Highness."
Qu Lan smiled and said nothing, looking at the shadow in front of the fire, his eyes filled with doting tenderness and appreciation.
*
When Yun Zhuiyue finally burned Qingqing's body into a handful of ashes and disposed of the ashes cleanly.
She washed her hands at the well, returned to the house as if nothing had happened, and entered her room.
Qu Lan came out of the room and said, "Chasing the moon."
