Chapter 133 Mo Yunsheng saw this and took back the half-passed cup and placed it back in front of hi
"Brother, you just came back from outside. It's cold outside, and your clothes are wet. This seat is close to the charcoal fire. Please sit here..."
Su Yingxue pulled Chu Xingchen and brought him to the place closest to the charcoal fire, and said softly.
The three of them took their seats, stepped on the snow, lit the small clay stove, and poured the drink from the porcelain bottle into the small clay pot to heat it. The warm orange fire slowly simmered the pale white clay pot, and the drink inside heated up, bubbling with small bubbles.
(My dears, let me explain: during the Song Dynasty, the ancients would call tea or drinks "yinzi". For example, perilla drink was a special drink of the Song Dynasty.)
When Taxue saw that the drinks were ready, he took out cups and poured drinks for everyone.
"Perilla drink, sister, try it..." Chu Xingchen reached out, took a cup and placed it in front of Su Yingxue.
Seeing this, Mo Yunsheng withdrew his half-extended hand and finally placed the cup in front of himself.
Su Yingxue picked up the cup and took a sip. Suddenly, she found that the taste was so familiar...
"Brother...this is..." Su Yingxue raised her head and looked at Chu Xingchen.
This drink has the flavor of the Princess Palace and Xia He's...
Su Yingxue felt a lump in her nose.
She thought of the Princess's Palace, Xia He's amazing skills in making pastries and tea, Qiu Shuang's careful words and actions for her, Dong Xue's skillful hands and ingenuity, and Chun Feng's careful care for her daily life.
This is my favorite taste. It turns out Chu Xingchen returned to the palace today to do some work...
"Sister, my old friend who makes tea and pastries asked me to bring a message to you. They are all fine, don't worry..." Chu Xingchen whispered to her softly when he saw this.
"Thank you...brother..." Su Yingxue's heart suddenly became confused. She had many things about the Princess' Palace that she wanted to ask Chu Xingchen. She wanted to ask if Qiu Shuang's poison had been cured? She wanted to ask if they were safe.
Thousands of words came to my lips, but in the end I swallowed them quietly.
Su Yingxue knew it was inappropriate for her to bring up this topic at the dinner table. In front of Mo Yunsheng, she was now Qin Xue, a concubine's daughter from a branch of the Qin family.
At this moment, Su Yingxue was within the Qin family's sphere of influence. The Qin family and the four great families were birds of a feather. If her identity was exposed, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
So you have to be careful with your words and actions. Su Yingxue doesn't want to implicate Mo Yunsheng and Chu Xingchen.
Su Yingxue also didn't want to implicate Qin Dongtaxue and the other secret guards who had come with her. They had come with her, and if she were imprisoned, they would probably protect her with their own lives.
The meal was almost over. As the night was getting later, Chu Xingchen looked at Su Yingxue with his eyes flickering.
"Since it's late at night, Brother Mo, why don't I, Jiu, take you away under the cover of darkness?" Chu Xingchen's face was cold and he spoke in a cold voice.
"Okay..." Mo Yunsheng heard this.
But, how to get out?
The Qin family guards were stationed in the west wing courtyard. All servants entering and leaving the Qin family had a Qin family token.
Mo Yunsheng frowned slightly.
He didn't have the servant's attire or the Qin family's token.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xingchen called a servant to bring his clothes and handed them to Brother Mo, saying in a cold voice, "Brother Mo, why don't you go to the inner room to change? Jiu is waiting for you here."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yunsheng took his clothes and changed, then left the private room in the west wing with Chu Xingchen.
Chu Xingchen took the empty food basket and Mo Yunsheng took the empty bottle. Even though they were dressed as servants, they still couldn't hide their luxurious air.
"Sister, please come in early, don't wait for me..." Chu Xingchen saw Su Yingxue walking in the winter wind. She was only wearing a thin brocade dress. Chu Xingchen was afraid that she would be cold.
"Sister Xue..." Mo Yunsheng was about to persuade her to go back, but was suddenly interrupted by Chu Xingchen's voice. He could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue, leaving only the words "Sister Xue".
"Okay." Su Yingxue nodded. She watched them go away before entering the house.
The lanterns on the corridor outside the house flickered, and she watched with her own eyes as the couple safely passed the inspection of the Qin family guards and headed towards Huangyuan.
"Miss," Taxue took the cloak and put it on her, saying softly, "It's cold at night, come inside."
Su Yingxue returned to the house, and Taxue peeled a small piece of paper from a black pill and handed it to Su Yingxue.
"Your Highness, this is the news from our people in the palace." Taxue handed over the note.
Su Yingxue unfolded it and took a look.
Prince Chu brought His Highness's sachet into the palace and treated Miss Qiu Shuang, who has now regained consciousness.
Prince Chu also sent a secret guard to guard the eldest princess's main palace. This secret guard can clear the remaining poison and heal Miss Qiu Shuang's body. Please rest assured, Your Highness.
Su Yingxue read the contents of the note and threw it into the burning charcoal. The charcoal fire in the charcoal basin flickered and quickly burned the note.
"Sachet?" Su Yingxue was slightly puzzled. Where did the sachet come from? She didn't seem to remember giving him one.
But if it wasn't her personal item, how could her people allow Chu Xingchen to treat Qiu Shuang.
"Your Highness, could it be..." A light bulb went off in Taxue's mind. For some reason, she remembered the day when His Highness asked her to search the whole cabinet for the sachet.
Seeing Taxue's hesitant look, Su Yingxue suddenly remembered the sachet that disappeared suddenly...
That sachet was made by Chunfeng herself. Naturally, Chunfeng and the others recognized the stitching and embroidery pattern of the sachet.
The sachet that Su Yingxue originally gave to Mo Yunsheng as a lucky charm was actually in Chu Xingchen's hands!
It turned out that Chu Xingchen had entered her room as if no one was there since so early...
Su Yingxue figured out the whole thing, but she couldn't feel happy...
Chu Xingchen had no intention of harming her life at the moment, but what if one day he became like the person in the novel, paranoid, yandere, ruthless, and decisive in killing her?
Su Yingxue felt scared instantly and her face turned pale.
She touched her neck in fear, feeling a thousand emotions in her heart. Why did she, Zhang Susu, have to live in such fear every day in this other world...
"Treading on the snow..." Su Yingxue said fearfully, "Can you give me some more of that powder that makes my limbs weak and I faint as soon as I touch or smell it?"
"Also, could you make me some powerful hidden weapons that can contain drugs or poisons, suitable for a loser like me who can't do martial arts or run fast?"
"For example, the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles?"
Su Yingxue thought about it and suddenly remembered a famous hidden weapon in the Jianghu from a TV series. She looked at Taxue seriously and spoke to her word by word.
"Heavy rain of pear blossom needles?" Taxue looked at Su Yingxue who was serious in front of him, but he was extremely confused in his heart.
What is that needle?
A needle soaked in rainwater? A needle scented with pear blossoms? Poisoned? Anesthetic-infused? But whose hidden weapon would be soaked in water and scented with incense? Taxue didn't understand, and couldn't figure it out.
Su Yingxue sensed the doubt in Taxue's eyes. Perhaps they didn't have such hidden weapons here. She sighed softly. If they didn't have the Storm Pear Blossom Needle, what about the Sleeve Arrow?
