Capture the Jade:


Teng Yuyi quickly went through it in her mind, and felt that the whole plan was seamless, so she took the lead and said, "I don't know why the prince is looking for me?"

Lin Chengyou glanced at her, and said lazily: "I remember I told you that night, I don't care what you do with itchy bugs, just don't harm others and don't hurt the reputation of Qingyun Temple, but you not only take Insects are going to harm people, and they almost made me take the blame for you, Teng Yuyi, do you think you can play with everyone in the world?"

Teng Yuyi looked shocked: "I don't quite understand what the prince said. Although I begged some bugs to play with because of curiosity, I never took them out of the house. What does the prince mean when he says I'm scheming?" "

Lin Chengyou looked at her playfully: "You're really pretending, are you sure I won't be able to produce evidence of your harm?"

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

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly paused: "Your Majesty, don't you think that General Duan is the bug I voted for, right? His Majesty was there last night, so you must have heard it too. Dong Erniang from Jingzhao Mansion just met him, so it can be seen that he got the infection from Dong Erniang, how can the prince suspect that I cast insects?"

Lin Chengyou stroked his chin: "I wanted to give you a chance to confess, but it seems that you won't cry when you see the coffin. Now start counting to three times. You'd better think clearly before answering. It's one thing, if I say it, it's another."

Teng Yuyi kept his expression on the face, but he was a little impatient 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 the medicine powder. In front of the public, everyone would logically believe that Duan Ningyuan's worm was uploaded from Dong Erniang, so that it would neither implicate her nor hurt Qingyunguan's reputation.

Even if Lin Chengyou knew that she had a worm in her hand, he still couldn't be sure whether the worm was passed from Dong Erniang to Duan Ningyuan or whether she threw it on purpose. Why should he come to trouble her for something he's not sure about.

Thinking of this, she regained her composure.

Lin Chengyou watched every subtle expression on her face. It was interesting. He had seen a lot of cunning people, and it was rare to be so righteous. No one would think of her when they saw Teng Yuyi's flower-like face. The layout is so skillful.

He continued to count: "Two."

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

Teng Yuyi stared at Lin Chengyou, feeling a little lost in her heart. Recently, because she was eager to withdraw from her marriage, she inevitably acted in a hurry. Some key points made her feel uneasy.

It's a pity that I was so happy last night that I fell asleep without thinking about it when I got home. I woke up this morning and I was busy with things, let alone start over.

Which one is missing? She pretended to be calm on the face, but she was secretly calculating in her belly, a thought suddenly flashed through her body, and her whole body froze.

Too bad, it turned out that there was a flaw in that link. A few days ago, she just wanted to let out a bad breath. When she handed over the worms, she told Uncle Cheng: "Throw a few more worms to Duan Ningyuan, let him spend more time." Eat some bitterness."

At that time, I was talking happily, but I forgot to ask Juesheng Qizhi for proof first. Lin Chengyou voted for Dong Erniang.

If Lin Chengyou only threw one or two bugs, but Duan Ningyuan had a dozen or so on him, Lin Chengyou would know as soon as he went over to detoxify them, so there is no way that so many bugs came from Dong Erniang.

No wonder he troubled her today. This matter can be hidden from others, but it is absolutely impossible to hide it from Lin Chengyou. What should we do now? Lin Chengyou is not easy to deal with. Do you really want to confess to him? He wouldn't spread the word about it in a fit of anger.

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

The smile on Lin Chengyou's face was even bigger, and he was about to say the last number.

Teng Yuyi shrank her heart, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth: "I say!"

"One." Lin Chengyou smirked, "It's late."

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

"The three beeps I mentioned refer to it." Lin Chengyou pointed at Jun Nu, "It just took three breaths, didn't you hear it?"

Teng Yuyi gasped.

"I dawdled and refused to tell the truth, how could I blame Junnu for not giving you a chance?" Lin Chengyou was shameless, "You used my worms to plan for your divorce without first asking me if I would like to Being involved in this kind of thing. Originally, you could have done it more secretly, such as only voting for two, so that even if I suspect you, I can't produce conclusive evidence. It's a pity that you are used to black hands, and you voted a dozen for Duan Ningyuan in one breath Only."

He said with a smirk: "But it's not surprising, you managed to get so many itchy worms, if you only vote for one or two, I'm afraid it will be more sad than being infected with itchy worms yourself."

Teng Yuyi bit her red lips, but Lin Chengyou guessed her thoughts so thoroughly, and only threw two worms, which was really 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 at the beginning. If I had calculated the number of poisonous insects on Dong Erniang's body in advance, Lin Chengyou would have caught it.

Lin Chengyou said again: "When I went to detoxify Duan's mother and son yesterday, 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 are so fierce when they get angry. Teng Yuyi, it is your business that you want to divorce, and Qingyun Temple is involved, have you asked my opinion?"

Teng Yuyi brewed for a while, and clear tears began to roll in his eyes: "My son, although I used your worm, the purpose was only for self-protection. It is a fact that Duan Ningyuan had an affair with Dong Erniang. I just pushed the boat along the way to expose the scandal." Just come out, I just want to retire, I didn't frame others, the prince must know my difficulties, so I sent everyone away."

Lin Chengyou looked at her, clearly playing Qingyun Temple and Zhen Guogong's mansion around, but pretending to be pitiful in front of everyone.

But what she said was right, and the questioning should be the questioning. He didn't intend 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 withdraw the marriage, but she chose the most convenient way. In my heart, how to get it as soon as possible is the first.

He saw her right, she is a person who does whatever it takes to achieve her goals, even though she consciously cared about Qingyunguan's reputation, but because she didn't know the habits of insects, she accidentally exposed her feet. Those who were present last night, as long as they knew a little about itchy insects, they would be suspicious of Qingyun Guan.

In order to cover up for her and Qingyun Temple, last night in front of Lord Zhen, he quietly forced Jun Nu to swallow the corpses of the dozens of dead insects into his stomach. Jun Nu was unhappy, Refusing to eat all day.

But as long as he knows these things, there is no need to tell her.

Teng Yuyi saw that Lin Chengyou didn't speak for a long time, only when he was loose, he hurriedly said with tears: "I still remember, the prince said that as long as I don't harm people with insects and don't hurt the reputation of Qingyun Temple, he won't look for me Trouble, although I used worms to deal with Duan Ningyuan last night, he deceived others first. What I did can only be regarded as retaliation, not evil. As for the reputation of Qingyunguan, it is impossible to talk about it. The prince must still remember himself What I said before, so I don’t plan to tell the second person about this matter. I will never forget the great kindness of the son. Since the son decided not to pursue it, I will leave. Today, it is inconvenient to be invited by His Royal Highness the princess. Let the princess wait for a long time."

She saluted and started to walk, but just as she took a step, Lin Chengyou stretched out his arm to stop her: "Wait a minute."

Teng Yuyi pretended to be stunned: "My son——"

Before she finished speaking, her throat felt numb, and she couldn't utter a single word when she tried to speak again.

She froze, the feeling became more and more intense, and even her tongue began to become dull.

She soon realized that she was poisoned, and glared at Lin Chengyou angrily: "My lord, what do you mean by this?"

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

But she became more and more annoyed in her heart, she only hated that she didn't wear the Hu suit today and couldn't carry a concealed weapon, otherwise she could fight back at him.

She cursed silently: Lin Chengyou, how can you not keep your promise, untie it for me quickly!

You, you despicable villain.

Lin Chengyou waited for Teng Yuyi to scold enough, touched his ears and said, "I will stop the matter of the Duan family, and no one else will know about it. As long as you return the remaining bugs, the itchy bugs will come to an end." From then on, the matter of the matter has been written off, but don't forget, you and I have other matters to settle."

Teng Yuyi was in doubt.

"That night in the Ziyun Tower, I kindly detoxified you from the demon poison, but you made me speechless." Lin Chengyou walked around her with his hands behind his back, "You pushed the demon into the water when you returned to the room. You pricked your arm twice for no reason, is the hairpin infected with more than one kind of poison? Otherwise, why can’t the wound scab? The things in the Qingyun Temple are for your own personal gain, so it can be seen that you don't take the Qingyun Temple seriously at all, all these add up, is it enough to keep you silent for a month?"

Teng Yuyi opened her mouth, but she couldn't feel her tongue anymore. She was in a state of confusion, and the antidote was in his hands. At this time, it was not appropriate to confront her head-on, so she shed a few more tears and looked at Lin Chengyou pitifully.

Lin Chengyou glanced at her, his teary eyes were black and white, like a child, it was unbelievable that he had developed such ruthlessness at such a young age, in the past he didn't care what she did in Yangzhou, but if she ran into his hands It's not that cheap, let her learn a lesson hard, maybe she can learn it well in the future.

"Isn't it just that you can't talk for a while, is it so uncomfortable?" He said with a pleasant face, "Ms. Teng is used to sophistry, so take this opportunity to rest your throat."

Whistling, leading Jun Nu to walk away.

Teng Yuyi stared at Lin Chengyou's back with hatred. At this time, he would definitely not be able to get any good if he chased him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chengyou was about to leave, so he stepped back and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you, only I can cure this poison."

Teng Yuyi cried more and more. Du Tinglan on the other end saw Lin Chengyou gone, so she rushed over. As soon as she got close, she saw Teng Yuyi's face covered with tears, and couldn't help but panicked: "Ayu, what happened?"

Ming Mingsi was talking in a gentle manner, how could he start crying.

Teng Yuyi put away her tears a long time ago, cleared her throat and wanted to speak, only hated that her throat felt like a piece of wood was stuffed into it.

Pointing to her throat, she shook her head at Du Tinglan.

Du Tinglan turned pale with shock: "You can't speak anymore?"

Teng Yuyi nodded.

"Cheng Wang's son did it?" Du Tinglan was stunned.

Teng Yuyi hates to hate, who else but him.

Du Tinglan took a deep breath: "It's too much to deceive people. I'll go to Prince Cheng to detoxify you. No, I'll go to Princess Cheng to uphold justice for you."

Teng Yuyi had no choice but to drag 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 forget it when I mess up, then I will go to Qingyun Temple to find—"

Teng Yuyi continues to draw: Qing Xuzi is not there either.

"Is there no one who can control this kid?"

Yes, there are saints and queens in the palace, but it's a pity that mortals can't easily see them.

Du Tinglan anxiously thought about it, then suddenly raised her head: "Don't forget about the princess, since you invited us to the poetry meeting today, how can the master bully the guests like this, let's go to the princess."

Teng Yuyi shook her head, Princess Azhi kept saying that she was her elder brother, and she was just helping Lin Chengyou to plot against them in a muddle-headed way, how could she help them find the antidote.

However... She frowned and thought, this is the only way she can do now, if she really wants to leave Cheng Wang's mansion in a fit of anger, and seek Lin Chengyou's detoxification later, she may not even see this person's face.

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

Teng Yuyi drew in Du Tinglan's palm: Sister, if you really want to sue the emperor, Lin Chengyou will definitely tell the whole story. At that time, Lin Chengyou will be reprimanded at most, but I can't cover up the plot against Duan Ningyuan Living. It's better to go to see Princess Jingde first, and play by ear later.

The two discussed a few more words, and Teng Yuyi turned to look for the old servant in Chengwang's mansion. Yes, he only thought that Mr. Xiao Lang was enlightened, and he was secretly happy for a while, but when he got closer and saw Teng Yuyi's eyes with tears, he knew that was not the case.

Du Tinglan smiled and said to the old servant: "I dare not keep the princess waiting for a long time, please lead us the way."

The old servant came back to his senses and hurriedly said with a smile: "Please come with the old servant."

***

The poetry meeting is set in a water pavilion in the garden, the windows are half open, and the breeze is blowing.

When Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan stepped onto the corridor, there were already many young men and women in luxurious clothes sitting in the water pavilion.

Princess Jingde didn't sit on the table obediently, but held a fishing rod in his hand, next to the little lady beside him, and fished by the window while talking.

There are purple bamboo mats spread in the water pavilion, and fruits and wine are placed on the bank. Everyone sits on the mats, chatting, or holding scrolls.

At the top of the seat sat an old Confucian with a gray beard. He was old-fashioned and dozing off.

There are four long rows of desks under the old Confucianism, facing east and west, with ladies sitting on one side and gentlemen sitting on the other side.

Lu Zhaoan was sitting in the fifth place in the male guest table, opposite to Zheng Shuangyin, the daughter of Zheng Pushe's family.

Lu Zhaoan's face was calm, but occasionally he would casually look at Zheng Shuangyin.

Zheng Shuangyin's face was flushed, and she sat quietly behind the desk with downcast eyes.

Du Tinglan came in and saw the situation of the two of them, she accidentally staggered, and was helped by Teng Yuyi calmly, and stabilized her body again.

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

There are four seats on his head, the second seat is a man wearing a dark green python robe, this man has beautiful long eyebrows, fair skin, and is extremely handsome, only the eye sockets are a bit deep, and his facial features are not very similar Central Plains people.

Teng Yuyi looked at the python robe on this person. Such intricate and ingenious embroidery work could only be attributed to a child of the royal family, but this person is obviously not from the Middle Earth.

Hearing the servant's report, the man in the python robe looked up at Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan.

"It's Mrs. Teng and Mrs. Du, please take a seat." Princess Jingde happily introduced to everyone, "This is the daughter of Teng Shao, the governor of Huainan, and this is Du Yuzhi, a doctor of the Imperial Academy. The little ladies in my family are all my guests, and they are here to participate in today's poetry meeting."

People at the table stood up and saluted one after another: "I have seen Lady Teng, and Lady Du."

Teng Yuyi smiled and returned the greetings silently.

When everyone saw her silent, they couldn't help being a little weird, so they heard the maid at the door say: "My son."

Lin Chengyou changed into the green robe of a low-ranking official in Dali Temple, and stood at the door, feeling like the bright moonlight was shining all over the hall.

Jingde Princess happily waved: "Brother, come quickly."

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

Lin Chengyou was in high spirits, and said as he walked, "I got caught up in some small things."

Teng Yuyi maintained a quiet smile on his face, but in his heart he wished to shoot countless poisonous arrows to kill Lin Chengyou.

Du Tinglan restrained Teng Yuyi, and explained softly to everyone: "My sister has not been in good health for the 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 sit down."

The man in the python robe heard this, looked at Teng Yuyi, took out something from the arrow sleeve, walked up to Teng Yuyi, smiled and said: "Ms. Refined by the old fairy, it tastes a little spicy, but it can clear the lungs and moisten the throat. If the lady's throat is uncomfortable, you can put it in your mouth, and it will get better within a few days."

The servant introduced in a low voice: "Ms. Teng, Mrs. Du, this is Gu Xian, the crown prince of Nanzhao Kingdom."

Teng Yu was shocked, Nanzhao Kingdom.

A Zhi held Teng Yuyi's hand with her tender little hands: "Miss Teng, do you have a bad voice? Brother Xian often carries herbs with him, and the prescriptions are different from those in the Central Plains. Why don't you give it a try? Maybe it can treat your illness."

Teng Yuyi thought of the letters in Wu Yingying and her father's study, smiled and nodded, meaning thank you.

Of course she didn't expect this thing to cure Lin Chengyou's poison, but it was a worthwhile trip to get to know a person from Nanzhao Kingdom today. She took the medicine from the servant and bowed to Gu Xian to salute.

Gu Xian returned a salute, his smile was like a warm spring in March.
