"I didn't expect the princess to study the Four Books and Five Classics so thoroughly. Shui Yuan really admires her."
"No, Master Ning is overly praised. I only know a little bit about it, but I am not as knowledgeable and talented as you."
"The princess has many insights into Chinese studies that Shui Yuan has never heard from anyone before. The princess is being too modest."
"..."
When Su Jiu walked into the hall, she heard the two of them exchanging business compliments.
The temperature between the two seemed to gradually rise with the back-and-forth conversation.
From Su Jiu's point of view, it seemed that their eyes were almost glued together.
"Second sister!"
The villain spoke up in time, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Su Jingyi suddenly heard the little man's milky voice and didn't react for a moment. She turned to look at the little man, a flash of surprise flashed in her phoenix eyes.
"Jiu'er, are you okay?"
Su Jingyi stood up, walked quickly to the villain, and wanted to pick her up. She tried, but failed to pick her up the first time.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Su Jiu pouted her lips depressedly and took a step back, "Second sister, Jiu'er has gained weight recently. You are so fat that you can't even hold her."
Seeing the pitiful little man who seemed to be injured, Su Jingyi opened her mouth. Just as she was about to explain, Ning Shuiyuan's gentle voice suddenly sounded.
"Ninth Princess, please don't be sad. The second princess couldn't hold you just now because her arm was injured in the carriage yesterday and she couldn't use her strength."
Su Jingyi was startled, and then looked at Ning Shuiyuan sharply.
The injury to her arm was only known to the palace attendants. Jiu'er was not found at that time, and the imperial brother was very worried about Chu Xi. She didn't want to cause trouble to them, so she thought it was just a minor injury, so she could apply some medicine herself.
alright.
Unexpectedly, Ning Shuiyuan knew about it all along.
Su Jingyi then remembered that every time she brought him medicine in the past two days, Ning Shuiyuan would quickly take it...
Ning Shuiyuan blinked at Su Jingyi, and continued to Su Jiu with a smile: "Although the Ninth Princess is a little rounder than the hunting ground, she is not fat at all, but is even cuter."
Su Jiu looked at Ning Shuiyuan's gentle smile, and her little chest rose and fell violently. He, he was so good at acting!
Although he praised her, she still didn't like him!
Su Jiu ignored Ning Shuiyuan's words, but looked at Su Jingyi, her face full of worry, "Second sister, is your hand feeling better now? Have you applied medicine on time?"
Su Jingyi took Su Jiu's little hand and returned to her seat, nodded, and said: "It's much better now, but I just don't have enough strength. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"Second sister, please go back and rest as soon as possible." Su Jiu looked at Su Jingyi with burning eyes, almost writing the words "Don't talk to Ning Shuiyuan" on her face.
Su Jingyi laughed, met Ning Shuiyuan's gaze, smiled, "Okay."
Su Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then Jiu'er, wait for me at the door. Master Ning and I still have something to say, and we'll come out right away."
Su Jingyi touched the villain's little head and said.
Su Jiu glanced at Su Jingyi, then at Ning Shuiyuan, and finally compromised, "Okay..."
"But..." Su Jiu raised her hand and tugged at the hem of Su Jingyi's clothes and shook it slightly, "Don't talk for too long, second sister, Jiu'er misses you so much and has a lot to say to you."
It was the first time that Su Jingyi saw a villain acting coquettishly towards her like this, and her heart suddenly softened.
"good."
Su Jingyi saw the villain walking out with three steps, and then her eyes fell on Ning Shuiyuan again.
Ning Shuiyuan gave a helpless smile, "The Ninth Princess seemed unhappy from the first time she saw me. I don't know where I offended her."
"Master Ning, Jiu'er was a little rude just now, please forgive me."
Su Jingyi said with a smile.
"The Ninth Princess has a pure and kind temperament. Maybe my appearance really doesn't suit her taste." Ning Shuiyuan laughed at himself.
With one sentence, the embarrassment just now was resolved and Su Jiu was given an excuse.
"Master Ning Zhilan Yushu, don't underestimate yourself." Su Jingyi covered her lips and smiled softly.
Ning Shui Yuan's ears turned red, "Princess, please stop making fun of me.
In fact, what the Ninth Princess said is not unreasonable. Princess, you are not feeling well, but you still take care of Wei Chen like this. Wei Chen feels really sorry. You should go back and have a good rest.
Wei Chen is still waiting to see your calligraphy treasure, princess."
Hearing Ning Shuiyuan's caring words, Su Jingyi felt warm in her heart, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."
Ning Shuiyuan nodded, "I respectfully send you off to the princess."
door.
Huang Ying saw that her princess came out not long after she entered. She looked so lost that those who didn't know thought she had lost her soul.
Su Jiu stuck her butt out and put her ear to the door frame, eavesdropping.
The little fur on the head moves and looks very cute.
With a slight "squeak", the door was opened from the inside.
Su Jiu immediately stood up straight, ran up to Su Jingyi with her calves, and grabbed Su Jingyi's hand.
"Second sister, you've been saying these things for a long time! Jiu'er can't wait any longer."
Su Jingyi had a smile in her eyes, raised her hand and pinched the tip of her nose, "It didn't take long."
Su Jiu pulled Su Jingyi towards another side hall.
"For Jiu'er, every second is a long time. Second sister, let's go and see the unknown man brought back by the fourth sister."
Although Su Jiu probably guessed who it was, she still wanted to confirm it.
Su Jingyi thought of the way Xuanyuan Che protected Su Jingqin in his arms that day, and subconsciously held the villain's hand.
"That...Jiu'er..."
"It's not good, Mr. Chu is vomiting blood again! Dr. Chu! Call Dr. Chu quickly!"
Screams came from the palace door that the two of them passed through, followed by the sound of palace people trotting. The door was suddenly opened from the inside. The little eunuch who came out didn't even have the mind to pay attention to the two people standing at the door. He was in a hurry.
Run towards the outer hall.
The faint smell of blood wafted out from inside the door.
Although the side hall is not big, it cannot be said to be that small. You can smell the smell of blood at the door. How much blood will you have to vomit?
There were hurried footsteps again inside.
A palace maid came out carrying a basin of blood and almost missed the villain.
It was Su Jingyi who had quick eyesight and quick hands to pull the villain away.
The palace maid then noticed the two of them, her face turned pale, and she was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Su Jingyi, "Stop saluting, but what happened to Mr. Chu Xi?"
The palace maid's hands were shaking a little, "Blood! Mr. Chu Xi vomited a lot of blood and couldn't stop it."
Su Jingyi's face darkened, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes.
She knew that Chu Xi was poisoned to save the emperor's brother. If Chu Xi died, the emperor's brother would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"That……"
"Xier!"
Before Su Jingyi could speak, an old and anxious voice came from not far away.
