Chapter 83: affectionate

Half an hour later, the court lady who gave snacks in the kitchen came. Because there were so many kinds of pastries, all the eighteen court ladies in the kitchen came, all in a happy bun and pink-blue palace clothes. The eighteen court ladies filled the table with pastries and stood on one side with their hands down. There are people serving Yan Su here. They should go back to the kitchen after delivering the cakes, but Xie Zhuochen sent someone to stop them.
"His Royal Highness Anling has ordered you to be here. The three princesses have come from afar and have not tasted our Dayuguo cakes. You take turns to introduce these cakes to the three princesses. Each person will introduce two kinds, if you say so. Okay, Your Highness has a reward." Xie Zhuochen said with a light smile.
The ladies of the court had different expressions on their faces, but most of them were very excited.
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, knowing that Yan Su was looking for a reason to keep these palace ladies, so that when the tiger claws came, he could identify the assassins. She lowered her head, under the tabletop, removed the embroidered cloth from the flower bandage, and quietly changed a piece of white cloth from her sleeve on it. The jade fingers were flying, flying needles on the cloth.
Yan Su picked up a plum-shaped pastry and placed it on the plate in front of Shang Chuchu, and said lightly, "Third Princess, try this pastry."
There was a smile on his lips, that smile was too light and deliberate, and under the faint light of the room, it made people feel unreal. This time when he returned to Lijing, Qin Jiu saw this smile from Yan Su's face more than once, as if it was engraved on the corner of his lips. It seems that he smiles gently only when facing Su Wanxiang. When facing others, he is either cold as facial paralysis or smiling as coping.
Shang Chuchu seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with his deliberate smile, pouting not to eat the cakes he picked up.
Yan Sujian frowned slightly, and slowly leaned back on the chair, his gloomy deep pupils swept across the ladies' faces, his whole person was like a good old jade, charming but not dazzling, subtle but not to be ignored, it was a little dazzling. A little court lady sneaked her eyes. He smiled coldly, his eyes suddenly turned into a solemn expression, and the little palace lady was trembling with fear.
"The princess doesn't like this plum cake, who brought it up?"
The little palace lady standing at the far left suddenly turned pale, shrank and took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid presented it."
"Get up, then start with you, introduce cakes to the princess." Yan Su said lightly.
The little palace lady breathed a sigh of relief and began to whisper about the practice of this plum blossom cake.
Qin Jiu had just heard the assassin's voice, and he listened attentively, hoping to find the assassin from the sound, so that he would not need tiger claws. However, when the eighteen ladies of the palace had all explained one by one, Qin Jiu did not hear the female assassin's voice, nor did he hear a voice that was clearly speaking in a false voice. It must have been when she was talking to the female assassin. She was using false voice, and at the moment it was real voice.
Qin Jiu couldn't help being disappointed, lowered his head, and continued to embroider the flowers on the bandage.
Yan Su glanced lightly, he already knew from her look that she was listening to the voices of the maids, and saw that she was slightly disappointed, knowing that he had nothing to gain. He waved his hand, "Now that we have finished speaking, you can go to the courtyard and wait. When we have finished the pastry, you can clean it up again."
The ladies of the palace understood, they all bowed out and stood with their heads bowed in the courtyard.
Yan Su and Shang Chuchu generally drank tea while waiting, Qin Jiu held the embroidery needles with a leisurely and calm expression, but the fingers under the table were moving quickly. Before no one noticed, the flowers were blooming. Put on the tambour.
After a few cups of tea, only a few dog barks were heard from the Moon Cave Gate, Qin Jiu frowned, squeezed his sleeve subconsciously, and glanced at the loquat. Loquat looked at Qin Jiu and nodded calmly.
After a while, through the bamboo curtain, Qin Jiu saw a yellow hound silently appearing in the courtyard.
This is a very sturdy hunting dog. Its yellow coat is shining with golden glory in the sun. It looks like a golden robe, extremely luxurious. It paced slowly, patrolling the courtyard.
"This dog is so beautiful!" Shang Chuchu exclaimed sincerely.
Qin Jiu took the last stitch calmly, and said with a smile: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Anling, including His Royal Highness, is outstanding." As he said, he glanced at Yan with a slight smile. Suddenly.
Yan Su thought that Tiger Claw was his partner, and didn't take Qin Jiu's words seriously, but Shang Chuchu felt a little awkward. Qin Jiu actually compared the dignified prince and a dog, so bold.
The tiger's paw circled the palace ladies a few times, sniffing from time to time, causing the palace ladies' complexions to change, wondering what they were doing. Tiger Claw quickly walked to a court lady, grabbed the corner of her skirt, and pulled her out.
If the court lady staggered out in a panic, Zhang Huang asked, "Master Xie, I don't know, what is this?"
Xie Zhuochen's eldest brother Xie Dichen smiled coldly and said: "If you don't do anything, you should go and explain to your Highness?" After speaking, he opened the curtain and brought the maid in.
The appearance of the palace lady was 18 or 9 years old, and she was beautiful, and her face looked very different from the dead little palace lady. But looking closely, they found that their faces are very similar. Although their eyes are different, they are all big eyes. If the average person wants to be easy to be others, he will naturally look for the one who is easy to change, a small-eyed one, but in any case, he can't easily become a big-eyed one.
The palace goddess looked a little panicked, she knelt down in front of Yan Su with a puff, and repeatedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what the slave and maid did wrong?" Yan Su looked coldly and looked over the ring on the maid's dress. A sneer cut through the air, "What's your name?"
"The servant's name is Cuilan." The maid replied in a low voice.
"Cuilan, after three quarters of noon today, where were you? What were you doing?" Yan Su asked slowly.
Cuilan's eyes flickered, and she replied in a low voice, "Apart from being busy in the kitchen, the slave and maidservant went to the flower hall to deliver meals and never went anywhere else."
"Think about it carefully, are you sure you haven't gone anywhere else?" Yan Su's narrow and cold eyes narrowed lightly, and a fatal killing burst out.
Cuilan looked a little panicked. After thinking about it, she said, "Slaves, I really haven't gone anywhere."
Yan Su smiled coldly, took a sip of the tea cup, and said, "Do you know how Tiger Claw found you out of the crowd?"
Cuilan shook her head and said, "The servant girl doesn't know."
Yan Su sneered, and Xie Dichen, who was on the side of Hou, said coldly: "Before I brought the tiger claws in, let her sniff the scent of bauhinia. Today, the assassin who assassinated the three princesses was fighting with Zhuochen in the bauhinia bush. , You said you haven't been anywhere else, how can you have the scent of bauhinia?"
Cuilan closed her eyes slowly when she heard the words, and when she opened her eyes, the panic on her face had long since disappeared, instead she was calm.
"Since it has been discovered by you, I have nothing to say. It's just a pity that I didn't succeed in provoking the relationship between Yun Shaoguo and Dayu." She said coldly, her voice full of resentment.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Dichen took a step forward, grabbed her jaw, and pulled out the poison from her mouth.
"Who instigated you?" Yan Su asked coldly, frowning.
"I won't say it when I die." Cui Lan said with a sorrowful smile, and suddenly slammed her head against a corner of the table. Unprepared, Xie Dichen couldn't stop him, and was hit by her and passed out into a coma.
There was a ready-made doctor at Mingyue Villa, and Yan Su busy ordered people to carry Cuilan to the side room, and sent someone to call the doctor.
Shang Chuchu stood up and said, "Since the assassin has been caught, I also ask the prince to be severely punished, and I will leave."
Yan Su nodded and said: "Please don't worry, princess, this king will definitely punish the assassin, and find out the real murderer as soon as possible, and give Yun Shaoguo an explanation."
Shang Chuchu nodded and smiled, and then walked to the door with his attendants.
Qin Jiu saw that the tiger's claw was still patrolling in the courtyard, and asked: "His Royal Highness's tiger claw has made a great contribution this time. I don't know how his Royal Highness intends to reward it. Is it to let it play in Mingyue Villa?"
Yan Su smiled and said, "It's hard to get a tiger paw once, so naturally you want to let it play?"
Qin Jiu smiled and saw that the maids in the kitchen in the yard were being sent away by Xie Dichen, as well as Shang Chuchu and her attendants, crowded with people, so he got up and said, "Your Majesty, I also leave."
Qin Jiu and Loquat Tail walked out with Shang Chuchu among the maids. From the corner of her eyes, she saw tiger claws running around among the flowers in the courtyard. She didn't look at it. She felt a little loose in her heart. But just when Qin Jiu was about to leave the moon cave gate, the tiger's claw slowly turned his head.
It stared at Qin Jiu for a while, then suddenly spread its legs and ran towards Qin Jiu. When I came to Qin Jiu, I circled her several times, sniffed Qin Jiu's body, his tail was constantly wagging, obviously extremely excited. In the end, it bowed its back and sprinted forward, and unexpectedly leaped towards Qin Jiu's arms. Its dark brown eyes were shining brightly at Qin Jiu. Its long tongue had already been stretched out, and it was going to lick Qin Jiu's. chin.
The tiger's claw came very fiercely, and the force that came over was so great that she almost threw Qin Jiu down. She deliberately let out a panic "ah", then stretched out her palm on the tiger's claw and patted the tiger's claw away with just the right amount of force. At the same time, he stretched his finger and poke on the tiger paw.
Yan Su sent Shang Chuchu out of the house. He had already turned around to enter the house. Hearing Qin Jiu's cry, he quickly turned around. He happened to see the tiger claws pounced on Qin Jiu and was slapped away by Qin Jiu. . He flew up and saw the tiger paws limp on the ground, screaming in a grievance, but unable to move.
Yan Su couldn't help frowning. Tiger Claws had always been arrogant and rarely made such aggrieved sounds. Could it be that he was seriously injured? He squatted down and checked the tiger's paw carefully, only to find that it was only acupuncture points, which was relieved. Even so, Yan Su's heart was still extremely angry. He stood there with his hands behind his back, his face was uncertain, the corners of his lips had a smile, but a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, he asked coldly: "Jiuye, what is going on?"
Qin Jiu clutched her chest, feeling that her heart was still beating violently. She couldn't bear to look at Tiger Claw's pleading eyes, slowly raised her head, looked directly at Yan Su, and said lightly: "I still want to ask the lord What's going on? Your tiger claws rushed towards me for no reason. To be honest, I don’t like dogs like animals, so I’m going to fight people. I’m dirty all day long, maybe there are still The flea is far worse than my yellow hair. It just rushed towards me. I couldn't bear the smell in my heart, so I couldn't help but slipped my hand. Please hurry up and take your tiger claws away. Stay away from me. If it comes to me next time, and if my hand slides again, if you slap it on its head, my sin will be great."
After Qin Jiu smiled and finished speaking, he lowered his head and dusted his clothes. Seeing a golden dog's hair stained on the corners of his clothes, his brows were frowned and his expression was disgusting.
Loquat hurriedly stretched out his finger and pulled down the dog hair, Qin Jiu's face was a little slow.
Xie Zhuochen and Xie Dichen rushed over and unlocked the acupuncture points of the tiger's paw. The tiger claw stood up from the ground, and was about to rush towards Qin Jiu, and was hugged by Xie Dichen's neck. The tiger's claws were beating, and they kept whining aggrievedly.
Yan Su said with a cold smile: "Jiuye, I really want to know why our tiger claws are running towards you, but I remember that Zhuochen and the assassin are always fighting in the bauhinia bush, you didn't go!"
Qin Jiu frowned and shook the bandage, and said lazily: "How do I know, maybe your tiger paw's sense of smell is out of order."
Loquat said with a cold face, and said softly: "Jiuye, you are so forgetful. Although you didn't go to the bauhinia bush, there is something on your body that smells of bauhinia, which is your flower bandage. "
Qin Jiu was taken aback, and then he suddenly realized and smiled: "I remember. Yesterday, I said I want to embroider the bauhinia, and the girl in lychee soaked my embroidered cloth in the bauhinia juice, saying that this was the right time."
Qin Jiu shook the bandage, which was embroidered with a bunch of bauhinia flowers. This is exactly what she embroidered in a hurry, because she had guessed early in the morning that Yan Su let Tiger Claw recognize people through the scent of bauhinia.
Yan Su's gaze flicked over Qin Jiu's flower bandage. Just now he saw the embroidered flowers on Qin Jiu's flower bandage. He didn't take a closer look. At this time, he took a closer look and found that it was a bauhinia flower.
When Qin Jiu saw that the doubts in Yan Su's eyes had faded, he knew that he believed him. The bauhinia she had just embroidered was deliberately the same as the one she originally embroidered, so Yan Su could not see that she changed the cloth and embroidered it again.
"His Royal Highness has no doubts, right? So, I went." Qin Jiu finished speaking, and then quickly left with curvaceous steps, she deliberately endured it, and did not look back at Tiger Claw.
The tiger claw screamed at Qin Jiu's leaving back. Yan Su knelt down and touched the tiger's claw's head, squinting his eyes and said: "The tiger claw seems to be something wrong."
Xie Dichen said: "When did our tiger claws have been bullied like this, we must have been unwilling. I thought that tiger claws can also identify loyalty and traitor, so I bite when I saw a demon girl?"
Yan Su frowned coldly and said: "Maybe so, be optimistic about the tiger paw, don't let it mess with that woman again."
