Bai Xiangxiu was not so polite to her own man. When she reached the room, she did not check to see if there was anyone around. She pulled on Long Heng's lapel and reached in with her small hand.
"… … You … …"
Long Heng almost fell. He quickly put her on the bed and waved his hand. Xiao Shi, who had just followed in, was pulled out.
She was still depressed. Wang Fei was injured and still needed someone to take care of her. Why did the servants have to come out?
But Long Heng, who was in the room, had already seen that Bai Xiangxiu was different. He was very familiar with the enemy country's gu poison. How could he not know that their country specialized in this kind of strange thing?
The anger in his heart could not be quelled. He suddenly raised his hand and smashed the table to pieces.
Obviously, Bai Xiangxiu, who was on the bed, was injured. She did not let him be at ease. She said: "Long Heng, Long Heng, come here."
Long Heng had no choice but to take out clean clothes from the side cabinet. She was injured now, so how could he casually touch her? He could only wait for the effects of the medicine to wear off.
Unfortunately, Bai Xiangxiu's killing power was absolute.
After a few rounds, Long Heng was defeated. He voluntarily pulled up the bed curtain and became the antidote.
After that, a weary Bai Xiangxiu recounted everything she'd seen and heard.
When Long Heng heard what the Emperor wanted to do to Bai Xiangxiu, he sat up in his underwear and walked around the room a few times like a trapped beast.
Bai Xiangxiu had no choice but to get up and say: "Long Heng, what's wrong with you? Aren't I fine?"
"You're fine this time, but it's hard to say if you'll be so lucky next time. If I didn't let Ah Song follow you, the situation … …"
"Don't worry, I'm not an idiot who can be bullied by them."
"Haha, very good, very good. Originally, I only wanted a peaceful place. I didn't want to be rich and noble. I just wanted my family to be safe.
But he didn't agree. He actually coveted the wife of a minister. He actually dared to make a move on you.
I, Long Heng, have risked my life for him, and this is what I get in return? "
"Lower your voice."
"Let him be. If I can't even protect the things that are important to me, what kind of man am I? If word gets out, I'll be embarrassed."
"Uh, don't get too excited."
"No matter what he is planning, he must have made a big mistake this time."
"Alright, alright, he is gravely mistaken."
Bai Xiangxiu was afraid that he would go crazy and enter the palace with a sword to chop people. She hurriedly pulled him, whose eyes were red, onto the bed. She held his head and comforted him, "I'm fine. Don't be angry. We can think about how to play them to death slowly, right?"
Long Heng was originally very angry, but after hearing Bai Xiangxiu's words, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly reached out and pinched her face. He said with a smile, "What trick have you come up with this time?"
"There are plenty of tricks, but we need to think about it in the long run."
"Ah, you always have a way to extinguish my anger. But …"
Long Heng hugged Bai Xiangxiu. As a man, he would never admit that he was actually a little angry, but more afraid.
Yes, he was afraid of losing the woman in front of him. She was so lively and cute. If he lost her, he was afraid that his life would be worse than death.
Bai Xiangxiu could be considered to understand Long Heng. She hugged his head and used it as a pillow. As she comforted him, she thought about how to send one of the cactus sprouts to the palace for Consort Su.
Unfortunately, this excuse was a bit difficult, so she and Long Heng couldn't come up with anything and went to rest.
Who would have thought that Consort Su would bump into the muzzle of a gun and help Bai Xiangxiu deal with a family matter. That was, Madam Xiao had come to request that her younger sister Bai Rong 'er's marriage be rejected and that she should find another good family. At the very least, she should be the main wife and not a secondary wife!
Just as Bai Xiangxiu was feeling vexed, this noble lady from the palace arrived. Bai Xiangxiu reached out a hand and shooed her away. Since someone from the palace had come, Née Xiao didn't dare delay her daughter's matters. She could only leave with resentment.
Bai Xiangxiu received this Consort Su and specially invited her to Apricot Garden.
In her heart, she was even more certain that Consort Su was related to Su Yun. Otherwise, how could a proper consort of the inner palace be so bold as to run outside?
In order to test the waters, she had the servants place the Cactus Huo Er on the table. They chatted while drinking tea.
"His Majesty ordered me to come take a look at younger sister's injury. Is it better?"
"It's much better, but it still hurts a bit. I can't lift heavy things.
His Majesty's injury … is it better? "
As she spoke, she lowered her head and let Consort Su misunderstand that she didn't have the face to see her.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, this ancient woman's first thought after being remembered by a man was always to blame herself.
Consort Su also noticed something and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
"Consort Su, be careful. This thing is prickly."
Bai Xiangxiu reminded her and then had Xiao Shi and the others move the things away.
Xiao Shi was puzzled. Why did they have to move things away when they had just been asked to move them in?
However, Consort Su waved her hand and said, "No need. The cactus is very good on the table. There's no need to place it elsewhere."
However, Bai Xiangxiu was startled and said, "This thing is called a cactus?"
Consort Su guessed that they probably hadn't seen this kind of thing before, so she said, "That's right. This kind of cactus is very good for people when placed in the room. It can also treat burns and some poisonous boils."
She purposely showed off her knowledge in front of this woman. As expected, this woman was very surprised.
"I didn't expect that being ugly would have so many benefits. At that time, I only wanted to play with it because it looked unique. I didn't expect it to survive.
Cactus, what a special name. "
"Master, Huo Er isn't ugly."
Huo Er felt wronged and suddenly interrupted.
Bai Xiangxiu glared at it and didn't say anything else.
Consort Su said, "In the future, every family will definitely have this thing. Because it's easy to cultivate, it can survive just by plucking a leaf. It also has some functions."
"Is that so? It seems like it's a treasure!
How about you take one back? This younger sister didn't prepare any gifts when you came to the prince's estate today. "
Since you said it so well, I'll give it to you!
"This, many thanks, younger sister." There was nothing wrong with raising a cactus. At the very least, it could purify the air!
Imperial Consort Su accepted the gift without any hesitation. She even asked to see the old madam and Long Lin.
Bai Xiangxiu didn't refuse and really brought her to see them.
During the process, she told her that Long Lin wasn't young anymore and that the old madame was bringing him back to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors. After all, when a child grew up, he would have to be listed in the ancestral register.
Of course, this was just gossip. It was also to give the old madame and Long Lin a reason to leave.
At present, Long Heng still hadn't made any moves, so Consort Su didn't suspect anything. Her reason was quite proper. After all, the ancient times placed great importance on inheritance.
However, Bai Xiangxiu's heart was beating like a drum. This Consort Su was undoubtedly Su Yun, but she couldn't figure out why she'd changed her face. Moreover, it definitely wasn't a disguise.
Could it be that the ancient plastic surgery was so amazing?
How could he make a woman who was considered to be above average look so beautiful?
