Capture the Jade: Chapter 26

Teng Yuyi quickly went through it in his mind, realizing that the whole plan was flawless, and he was the first to speak: "I wonder why the prince is looking for me?"

Lin Chengyou glanced at her, and said lazily: "I remember that night I told you that I can't control what you do with itch bugs, don't harm people and don't harm Qingyunguan's reputation, but you not only harm the bugs People, you almost made me take the blame for you, Teng Yuyi, do you think you can play the whole world in the palm of your hand?"

Teng Yuyi was shocked: "I don't understand what the prince said. Although I begged some bugs to go back to play out of curiosity, but I never took this thing out of the house. What did the prince mean when he said I was scheming?"

Lin Chengyou looked at her playfully: "Pretend to be so similar, are you sure that I can't produce any evidence that you harmed anyone?"

Teng Yuyi shook her head innocently: "I don't know what I did wrong—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly paused: "Don't the prince think that General Duan is the worm I cast? Last night, the prince was also there, you must have heard that when General Duan was infected with itchy worms, Jingzhao Mansion I just met Dong Erniang, it can be seen that he got the infection from Dong Erniang, how can the prince suspect that it was me who cast the worm?"

Lin Chengyou stroked his chin: "I originally wanted to give you a chance to confess, but it seems that you won't cry if you don't see the coffin. Now count to three, you'd better think about it before answering, it's one thing to explain it yourself. , as far as I'm concerned, that's another story."

Teng Yu's face remained calm, but he couldn't hold his breath in his heart. Could it be that something went wrong? Never.

On the one hand, she asked someone to poison Duan Ningyuan, and on the other hand, she asked Cheng Bo to secretly detoxify Dong Erniang with medicinal powder. The two links were combined together, and there was no flaw in it. It would be logical to determine that Duan Ningyuan's bug was uploaded from Dong Erniang, so that it would neither involve her nor harm Qingyunguan's reputation.

Even if Lin Chengyou knew that she had a worm in her hand, she could not be sure whether the worm was passed on to Duan Ningyuan by Dong Erniang or if she cast it on purpose. Unsure, why did he come to trouble her.

Thinking of this, she regained her composure.

Lin Chengyou watched every nuanced expression on her face. It was interesting. He had seen many cunning people, and he was rarely so righteous. Anyone who saw Teng Yuyi's flower-like face would never think that her layout would be harmful. So skilled.

He continued to count: "Two."

The little black panther cooperated very well with the master, touched his face with his paws, and exhaled a second breath.

Teng Yuyi stared at Lin Chengyou, and suddenly felt a little lost in her heart. Recently, because she was eager to quit her family, she was inevitably a little anxious. Although she punished the Duan family severely last night, there was always a vague shadow in her heart, as if she had overlooked some key points. It made her uneasy.

It's a pity that I was happy last night, and I fell asleep without thinking about it when I got home. When I woke up this morning, I was busy with things, and I couldn't even bother to start over.

What exactly was overlooked? She pretended to be calm on the face, but she was thinking secretly in her stomach, and suddenly a thought flashed, and her whole body froze.

Oops, it turned out to be a flaw in that link. A few days ago, she just wanted to let out a bad breath, and when she handed over the bugs, she told Cheng Bo: "Throw more bugs to Duan Ningyuan and let him suffer more. ."

At that time, he said it happily, but he forgot to ask Jue Sheng Qizhi for evidence that Lin Chengyou had cast a few for Dong Erniang.

If Lin Chengyou only casts one or two, but Duan Ningyuan has a dozen or so, Lin Chengyou will know as soon as he goes to detoxify, so many bugs can never be uploaded from Dong Erniang.

No wonder he asked her for trouble today, this matter can be hidden from others, definitely not from Lin Chengyou, what should I do now, Lin Chengyou is not easy to deal with, do you really want to confess to him? He wouldn't be in a hurry to publicize it.

The little black panther seemed to sense Teng Yuyi's nervousness, got up and walked around her, raised his head and let out a breath.

Lin Chengyou smiled even more, and was about to say the last number.

Teng Yuyi's heart shrank, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, "I said!"

"One." Lin Chengyou said with a wicked smile, "It's too late."

Teng Yuyi argued with reason: "I let go first, and the prince said 'one' is later, why is it too late?"

"The three I said was referring to it." Lin Chengyou pointed at Junnu, "It just sprayed three breaths, didn't you hear it?"

Teng Yuyi gasped.

"I'm dawdling and refusing to tell the truth, how can I blame Junnu for not giving you a chance?" Lin Chengyou is brazen, "You use my bugs to plan a divorce for yourself, and you don't ask me first if I want to be involved. This kind of thing. You could have done it more secretly, such as only throwing two, then even if I suspected you, I would not be able to produce conclusive evidence, but unfortunately you are used to black hands, so you cast a dozen or so for Duan Ningyuan in one go."

He smiled wickedly: "But it's not surprising. You managed to get so many itch bugs. If you only cast one or two, I'm afraid it would be more sad than getting itch bugs yourself."

Teng Yuyi bit her red lips, Lin Chengyou guessed her mind so thoroughly that she only cast two worms, it was too cheap for Duan Ningyuan. Now that the mistake has been made, it is too late to regret it. I only regret that I was too careless. If I had counted the number of poisonous insects on Dong Erniang's body in advance, how could Lin Chengyou be caught.

Lin Chengyou said again: "Yesterday, when I went to detoxify Duan's mother and son, I found eight and four worms on Duan Ningyuan and Mrs. Duan respectively, one can make life worse than death, not to mention so many, no wonder they broke out So fierce. Teng Yuyi, it's your business that you want to retire from your relatives, have you involved Qingyunguan and asked my opinion?"

Teng Yuyi pondered for a while, and Qingying's tears began to swirl in her eyes: "Sir, although I used your worm, but the purpose is only to protect myself, it is a fact that Duan Ningyuan has an affair with Dong Erniang, I just push the boat to expose the scandal, I only want to quit my relatives, and I didn't frame others, the prince must also know my difficulties, so I let everyone go."

Lin Chengyou looked at her, clearly playing around with Qingyunguan and Zhenguo Gongfu, and pretending to be pitiful in front of everyone.

But what she said was right. Asking the guilt is the guilt. He didn't plan to rehabilitate Duan Ningyuan, so even if he knew the whole story last night, he was determined to rot in his stomach.

But she obviously could think of other good ways to quit her relatives, but she chose the most convenient way. Before thinking about her layout, she never thought that a little carelessness would damage the reputation of Qingyunguan. It can be seen in her heart, how Getting it as soon as possible is the first.

He was not mistaken about her, she was someone who would do anything to achieve her goals, even if she consciously took care of Qingyunguan's reputation, but because she didn't know the habits of insects, she accidentally revealed her tricks. Those who were present last night, as long as they knew a little about Itchy Bugs, would be suspicious of Qingyunguan.

In order to cover up for her and Qingyunguan, he quietly forced Junnu to swallow the bodies of the dozen or so dead insects in front of Duke Zhen last night. Junnu felt unhappy and spent a whole day. They all refused to eat.

But he knew these things himself, there was no need to tell her.

Teng Yuyi saw that Lin Chengyou was slow to speak, but when he was loose, he said with tears: "I still remember, the prince said at the beginning that as long as I don't use bugs to harm people and don't harm Qingyunguan's reputation, he won't trouble me. Although I used bugs to deal with Duan Ningyuan in the evening, but he deceived others first, I can only count as retaliation, not evil. As for the reputation of Qingyunguan, there is no way to talk about it. The prince must still remember what he said. , so I don't plan to tell the second person about the matter. I will never forget the great kindness of the prince. Since the prince has decided not to pursue it, I will leave. long wait."

She bowed her head in a salute, and was about to leave, but just as she took a step, Lin Chengyou stretched out an arm to stop her: "Hold on."

Teng Yuyi pretended to be startled: "Sir—"

Before she finished speaking, there was a numbness in her throat, and if she tried to speak again, she couldn't utter a word in her throat.

She was stunned, the feeling became stronger and stronger, and even her tongue began to blunt.

She quickly realized that she was poisoned, and glared at Lin Chengyou: What does Shizi mean?

I tried to open my mouth, but I couldn't make a sound.

She was even more annoyed in her heart, she only hated that it was inconvenient to bring hidden weapons without wearing a Hu uniform today, otherwise she could hit him back.

She scolded silently: Lin Chengyou, how could you not keep your word, quickly untie it for me!

You, you despicable little man.

Lin Chengyou waited for Teng Yuyi to scolded enough, rubbed his ears and said, "I will stop the Duan family's affairs, and no one will know about it. As long as you return the rest of the bugs, the itchy bugs will also be dealt with. It's written off from now on, but don't forget, you and I have other things to settle."

Teng Yuyi was surprised.

"That night in Ziyun Tower, I kindly helped you to detoxify the demon poison, but you made me speechless." Lin Chengyou walked around her with his hands behind his back, "I was pushed into the water by you to catch the demon back to the room, and there was no reason on my arm. After being pierced twice by you, is there more than one poison on the hairpin? Otherwise, why can't the wound be scabbed up to now? As for itching bugs, although you are not doing evil, you use Qingyun to watch it without saying hello. Things for your own selfishness, it can be seen that you don't take Qingyunguan in your eyes at all, all these add up, is it enough to keep you silent for a month?"

Teng Yuyi opened her mouth, but her tongue was no longer conscious, her heart was numb, and the antidote was in his hands. It was not advisable to hit hard at this time, so she shed a few more tears and looked at Lin Chengyou pitifully.

Lin Chengyou glanced at her, those teary eyes were black and white, like a child's. It was unbelievable that she had developed this cruelty at such a young age. In the past, he didn't care how she was in Yangzhou. It's cheap, let her take a hard lesson, and maybe she can learn it well in the future.

"Isn't it so uncomfortable because I can't speak for the time being?" He said amiably, "Ms. Teng is accustomed to sophistry, so take this opportunity to take a good rest."

With a whistle, Jun Nu was led away.

Teng Yuyi stared at Lin Chengyou's back angrily. At this time, she would definitely not be able to get a good deal if she caught up. She wondered if Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi had an antidote, or if they should go out to find them immediately.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chengyou was about to leave, but he stepped back and said with a smile, "Forgot to tell you, only I can solve this poison."

Teng Yuyi cried more and more fiercely. Du Tinglan on the other side saw that Lin Chengyou was gone, and hurried over. As soon as she got close, she saw Teng Yuyi's face was covered in tears, and she couldn't help but panic: "Ayu, what happened?"

Mingming was speaking in a gentle manner, so how could he cry.

Teng Yuyi had already put away her tears and cleared her throat to speak, but she hated that it was like a piece of wood was stuffed into her throat.

She pointed to her throat and shook her head at Du Tinglan.

Du Tinglan was shocked: "You can't speak anymore?"

Teng Yuyi nodded.

"Prince Cheng did it?" Du Tinglan was astonished.

Teng Yu hated and hated, who else could be besides him.

Du Tinglan took a deep breath: "It's too deceiving, I'll go to Prince Cheng to detoxify you, no, I'll go to Concubine Cheng and ask Concubine Cheng to do justice for you."

Teng Yuyi reluctantly dragged Du Tinglan back and drew a picture on her palm: It's useless, Cheng Wang and his wife are not in Chang'an.

"Yes, I forgot when I messed up, then I'll go to Qingyunguan to find—"

Teng Yuyi continued to paint: Qing Xuzi was not there either.

"Isn't there anyone who can handle this?"

Yes, the saints and queens in the palace, but unfortunately mortals can't see them easily.

Du Tinglan thought about it anxiously, and suddenly raised his head: "Don't forget there is the county master. Since he invited us to the poetry party today, how could the master bully the guests like this, let's go to the county master."

Teng Yuyi shook his head, the Azhi County Master opened and closed his mouth, it was his brother, he just helped Lin Chengyou to figure them out, how could he help them find a cure.

But... She frowned and thought, that's all she could do for now. She really wanted to leave Cheng Wang's mansion in a rage, and then looked back to find Lin Chengyou to detoxify, fearing that she would never even be able to see this person's face.

Du Tinglan said angrily: "Ayu, don't worry, my uncle has returned to Chang'an. It's a big deal to tell my uncle, and let my uncle go to the palace to find a saint and talk about it."

Teng Yuyi wrote in Du Tinglan's palm: "Sister, if you really want to sue the royal front, Lin Chengyou will definitely tell the story. Lin Chengyou will be reprimanded at most, but I can't cover up Duan Ningyuan's plot. It's better to go to see the Princess Jingde first, and see you later.

The two discussed a few more words, and Teng Yuyi turned back to look for the old servant in Chengwang's mansion. It was only when Xiao Langjun was enlightened that he secretly rejoiced for a while, but when he got closer and saw Teng Yuyi's eyes were full of tears, he knew that was not the case.

Du Tinglan smiled and said to the old servant, "I dare not let the county master wait for a long time, please lead the way for us."

The old servant regained his senses and hurriedly said with a smile, "Please come with the old servant."

***

The poetry club is set in a waterside pavilion in the garden, with half-open windows and fresh breeze.

When Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan set out on the porch, there were already many young men and women in luxurious clothes sitting in the water pavilion.

Jingde County Lord did not sit on the seat honestly, but held a fishing rod in his hand, next to the little lady beside him, while talking and fishing by the window.

Inside the water pavilion, there are purple jasmine mats, and there are fruits and drinks on the shore. Everyone sits on the mats, talking or holding rolls.

At the top of the seat sat a gray-bearded old Confucian, old-fashioned, and dozed off in a daze.

There are four long rows of desks under the head of the old Confucianism. The east and west are facing each other. The ladies sit on one side, and the gentlemen sit on the other side.

Lu Zhaoan sat in the fifth place on the men's table, opposite Zheng Shuangyin, the daughter of Zheng Pushe's family.

Lu Zhaoan's face was calm, but occasionally he glanced at Zheng Shuangyin inadvertently.

Zheng Shuangyin's face was red, and she sat quietly behind the table with her eyes down.

Du Tinglan came in and saw the situation of the two of them. She stumbled accidentally, and was calmly supported by Teng Yuyi, and regained her stability.

When Lu Zhaoan saw Du Tinglan, his smile froze, and he quickly recovered his expression, turning his face away as if nothing had happened.

There are four places above him. The second one sits is a man wearing a dark green python robe. This man has long eyebrows, fair skin, and is very handsome. His eye sockets are a little deep, and his facial features are not like people from the Central Plains.

Teng Yuyi looked at the manga robe on this man's body. Such intricate and ingenious embroidery work must be a descendant of the royal family, but this man was obviously not from China.

When the man in the python robe heard his servant's report, he looked up at Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan.

"It's Mrs. Teng and Mrs. Du, please take a seat." Jingde County Lord happily introduced to everyone, "This is the daughter of Teng Shao, the envoy of the Huainan Jiedu, and this is the child of Du Yuzhi's family. Madam, all of my guests are here to participate in today's poetry meeting."

The people at the table stood up and saluted: "I have seen Mrs. Teng, and I have seen Mrs. Du."

Teng Yuyi smiled and replied silently.

Seeing that she didn't speak, everyone was a little weird, so they heard the maid at the door say, "Prince."

Lin Chengyou changed into the blue robes of the low-ranking officials of Dali Temple, and stood at the door, feeling like the bright moonlight filled the hall.

Jingde County Lord happily waved: "Brother, come quickly."

The beautiful man in the dark green python robe looked up and got up to greet Lin Chengyou: "I'm just saying why you haven't shown up yet."

Lin Chengyou was in high spirits and said as he walked, "I was stumped by something trivial."

Teng Yu maintained a peaceful smile on his face, but in his heart he wished to shoot countless poisonous arrows to stab Lin Chengyou to death.

Du Tinglan held back Teng Yuyi, and explained to everyone softly, "My little sister has not been very well these past two days, her voice is hoarse, and she can't speak."

Everyone nodded sympathetically: "So that's what happened, Mrs. Teng, Mrs. Du, please take a seat."

After hearing this, the man in the python robe looked at Teng Yuyi, took something out of his arrow sleeve, walked in front of Teng Yuyi, smiled and said, "Miss Teng, this is red jade candy, we are an old immortal in Nanzhao who is good at danqing. It tastes a bit spicy, but it can clear the lungs and moisten the throat, and the lady's throat is uncomfortable, you can put it in your mouth and it will get better in a few days."

The servants introduced in a low voice: "Miss Teng, Madam Du, this is the Crown Prince Gu Xian of Nanzhao Kingdom."

Teng Yuyi was shocked, Nanzhao Kingdom.

Azhi held Teng Yuyi's hand with her tender little hand: "Miss Teng, do you have a bad throat? Brother Xian often carries herbs on his body, and the prescription sword is a little different from the Central Plains. Why don't you try it, maybe you can be right. your illness."

Teng Yuyi remembered the letters in Wu Yingying and her father's study, and nodded with a smile, meaning thank you.

She didn't expect this thing to relieve Lin Chengyou's poison, but it was a worthwhile trip to meet someone from Nanzhao today. She took the medicine from the servant and bowed to Gu Xian.

Gu Xian bowed back, smiling like the spring light in March.
