Summary of the previous chapter: Zhang Jing added poison and aphrodisiac to the ginseng soup, and used provocation to trick Ma Xiaoquan into drinking the ginseng soup. Although Ma Xiaoquan was immune to the poison, he was not immune to the aphrodisiac. Fortunately, Ma Xiaoquan
His concentration was strong enough, and he suppressed his body's reaction...
After confirming that it was Zhang Jing who murdered Li Qinghan, Ma Xiaoquan was very angry. If he hadn't stayed at Zhang's house at this moment, he would have slapped Zhang Jing to death.
"Miss Zhang, you've said enough, get out! I want to rest!" Ma Xiaoquan said coldly.
"Hmph, Ma Xiaoquan, you are so awesome, just go out, you will definitely regret it, you will! Humph!" After saying that, Zhang Jing shook her hair and slammed the door.
Ma Xiaoquan exhaled, walked to the door, pulled the bolt, and then quickly jumped back to the bed and sat cross-legged.
"Xiaoshuang, help me" Ma Xiaoquan secretly called in his heart.
"Woooo" A faint, almost invisible flame slowly rose on the neck.
"Xiao Shuang, please, the poison in my body doesn't matter, but I need you to help me burn the aphrodisiac. Well, I can't sleep tonight."
"Woooo" A faint flame returned to Ma Xiaoquan's body. Immediately, Ma Xiaoquan felt a strong burning sensation rising in his body, but this burning sensation was much better than the restless heat after taking aphrodisiacs.
At least the little pony under my crotch is no longer so "unruly".
After burning the incense at the end of the month, Ma Xiaoquan let out a breath of turbid air.
"Well, it's much better. Although there are still some drug residues in the body, at least it doesn't have much impact. Well, not bad, good, very good." Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, stretched his legs, stood up, and twisted his waist.
At this moment, the conversation between two people suddenly sounded at the door.
"Brother, Ma Xiaoquan took such a large dose of poisons and aphrodisiacs, and nothing happened at all."
"Well, it's strange. This is too strange. Jingjing, if you put such a large dose of poison, you wouldn't poison Ma Xiaoquan to death, right?"
"No, mixing poison and aphrodisiac will weaken the toxicity a lot, but it will strengthen the effect of the aphrodisiac. But Ma Xiaoquan is fine at all. Brother, how about we go in and take a look again?"
"No, it's not necessary. Although the medicine will cause hallucinations after taking it, people are still conscious no matter what. I think that's the end of it for today."
"But... daddy's arrangement..."
"Hey, of course we have to carry out dad's arrangement, but Ma Xiaoquan is not that easy to deal with. Besides, I always feel that the current Ma Xiaoquan is different from the Ma Xiaoquan who used to surround you..."
"Well, I think it's different too. Although the Ma Xiaoquan in the past was smart, he didn't have any opinions, but the current one... is like another person. By the way, the current Ma Xiaoquan,
My hair is also short, does it mean that if you cut your hair short, you will become more independent?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? If this happens, the streets will be filled with people going to get their hair cut. Okay, Jingjing, don't think about it too much. Let's end this matter today. Don't forget that our Zhang family has more important things."
There are things to be done, and a little Ma Xiaoquan, huh, is not worth mentioning."
"Um"
...
Ma Xiaoquan crouched at the inner door and listened clearly to the conversation between the Zhang brothers and sisters. When there was no movement outside the door, he quietly sat back on the bed.
"Important things? What important things?" Ma Xiaoquan frowned and thought for a moment, "It seems that the Zhang family is not simple..."
...
The next day, the servants of the Zhang family knocked on the door to wake up. Ma Xiaoquan opened the door and greeted the servants of the Zhang family with a smile.
"Deacon... Mr. Deacon, I asked my servant to come and ask you to have breakfast..."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and said with a smile: "Okay, please report it to the Zhang family, I will clean up and go."
"Yes!" The servant said and left.
"By the way, what's your name?"
The servant turned his head, his face slightly red: "My name is Xiaozhu."
"Xiaozhu? Oh, hehe, OK, Xiaozhu, thank you, go report it as soon as possible."
"Um"
...
In the main hall, Zhang Jiajia's Zhang Tianhao has prepared breakfast.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan coming, Zhang Tianhao stood up and said with a smile: "Deacon, you had a good rest last night. Haha, come on, come on, let's have breakfast together. The breakfast is a bit meager. I hope you won't forgive me, deacon."
"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at the breakfast on the table and was secretly shocked. Although the Zhang family was as rich as any country, it was not ostentatious. The breakfast prepared on the table was indeed very simple, with only a few fried dough sticks and two bowls of salty porridge.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "Hey, thanks to the Zhang family's hospitality, I should have something light in the morning."
Zhang Tianhao nodded and the two sat down together.
During this breakfast, neither of them said much.
Outside the main hall door, brothers Zhang Yi and Zhang Jing quietly looked at their father and Ma Xiaoquan. Seeing that neither of them spoke much, the Zhang brothers and sisters looked at each other.
"Brother, what on earth are dad and Ma Xiaoquan doing, not talking even after breakfast?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Dad has his own reasons and ideas. Okay, stop looking. Let's go get something to eat."
"oh"
After breakfast, Ma Xiaoquan greeted Zhang Tianhao for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.
Zhang Tianhao did not try to persuade him to stay, but nodded slightly.
After leaving Zhang's house, Ma Xiaoquan did not go home directly. Instead, he went to the palace first and met with Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao.
As one of the celebrities around the current emperor, Ma Xiaoquan knew very well about maintaining relationships. First, he had to be obedient in front of the emperor. Second, he had to go to the emperor frequently to greet him and let the emperor know that he was always in your heart.
Sure enough, Emperor Tianqi was very happy after seeing Ma Xiaoquan and took Ma Xiaoquan to chat for almost an hour.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and Zhu Youxiao suggested that Ma Xiaoquan eat with him. Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be frightened and said: "Your Majesty, I am a lowly minister, so I don't dare to eat with you."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "It's okay. The emperor's brother is here today. The three of us will have a meal together. Well, having said that, it seems that the three of us have never had a meal together."
Hearing that Wang Zhu Youjian was also there, Ma Xiaoquan murmured in his heart, but Zhu Youxiao said it, and he did not dare to refuse, so he had no choice but to obey orders respectfully.
At lunch time, Xin Wang Zhu Youjian came.
As usual, after greeting the emperor's brother, Zhu Youjian and Ma Xiaoquan sat together.
