Su Jiu slept until sunset, with orange sunlight shining into the house through the window lattice.
The little guy rolled on the couch holding the quilt, feeling a little hungry, and then slowly opened his eyes.
There were no lights on in the room. Su Jiu sat up from the couch and raised her hand to rub her apricot eyes. Only then did she realize that she was not in Weiyang Palace, but in the fifth brother's bamboo house.
Just when the little guy was still confused, there was some movement behind a screen. Then, the flickering candlelight lit up, and two figures were reflected on the screen.
"Found it? Where is the little one now?"
This voice seems a bit familiar.
Su Jiu had just woken up, and her brain was still down. She just felt familiar, but couldn't remember where she had heard it.
"After being given the antidote, he ran away."
This is the voice of the fifth brother.
"Run away? It's because the little one is very naughty." The man continued.
The more Su Jiu listened, the more familiar she felt. She subconsciously slid off the bed and tiptoed to the screen, wanting to take a peek.
Unexpectedly, Su Lixun and both of them were martial arts practitioners, so they had already heard the movement behind the screen.
Su Rongan stood up suddenly, "Since you have brought the antidote, I will leave first. I also need your help to take care of the little one and prevent him from starving to death."
Su Lixun glanced behind the screen with his peripheral vision and nodded.
"good."
Su Rongan, who always felt that Su Lixun seemed to be particularly talkative these few times, looked at him strangely, but didn't think much about it and just thought it was Su Lixun's conscience who discovered it.
"Then I'm leaving."
Su Rong'an knew that Su Jiu was behind the screen, and she felt particularly uncomfortable. After saying something, she quickly walked out of the bamboo house without waiting for Su Lixun to speak.
When Su Jiu poked her little head out from behind the screen, she could only see a slender figure, which seemed familiar.
"Fifth brother."
The little guy just woke up, his milky voice was mixed with some hazy sleepiness, and his whole body felt soft.
Su Lixun put down the tea cup, stood up and came to the villain, "Did Jiu'er sleep well?"
Su Jiu nodded and looked at the door again.
"Fifth brother, who is the person who left just now?"
What did they seem to be discussing just now?
Antidote or something like that...
Um?
Antidote!
Su Jiu thought of someone.
"Fifth brother, do you know the poison master?"
Ever since Chu Xi woke up, Su Jiu had forgotten about the poison master in a blink of an eye. She had just vaguely heard the voice and thought it was familiar, but now she suddenly remembered that it was the voice of the little poison master that day.
If Fifth Brother and Poison Master knew each other...
"Fifth brother, did you ask the poison master to revive brother Chu Xi?"
Chu Xi was still a mystery when he woke up. After that time, although his father and the others didn't say anything.
But Su Jiu could clearly feel that the guards in the palace had strengthened again.
After all, a person who can freely enter and exit the palace and can detoxify Chu Xi should be wary before he is confirmed to be a friend.
Su Lixun bent down and picked her up, and said with a chuckle: "Jiu'er has so many questions, which one do you think the fifth brother should answer first?"
Carry the little guy to the bed.
Hearing that Su Jiu woke up, Jing Yi stepped in and walked in.
Su Lixun paused in dressing the villain, and a chill flashed in the fox's eyes.
Realizing that Su Lixun seemed unhappy, Su Jiu hugged Su Lixun's arm and said coquettishly: "Fifth brother, brother Jingyi came in because he was afraid that Jiu'er wouldn't know how to wear clothes. Don't punish him."
When Su Lixun heard this, he frowned slightly, lowered his face, and looked into the villain's bright almond eyes, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.
This little guy’s elbows are a bit bent out!
Su Lixun grinded his molars, but said nothing. He just raised his hand angrily and pinched the little guy's face.
Then he looked at Jing Yi, "Since my hand is disabled, I can just rest."
There was an indescribable sourness in his voice.
Jing Yi glanced at the villain with his painted eyes, and then at Su Lixun, but did not move.
Su Jiu tilted her head and glanced at Jing Yi doubtfully, then let go of Su Lixun's hand, slid off the couch, and walked to Jing Yi.
"Brother Jingyi, do you have anything to say to Jiu'er?"
As soon as Su Jiu finished speaking, she felt herself being suddenly hugged by Jing Yi.
Su Lixun watched from the side and slowly squeezed the hand at his side.
Sensing the boy's uneasiness, Su Jiu raised her arms and hugged Jing Yi's waist, "Brother Jing Yi, what's wrong with you?"
Jing Yi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
On the other hand, the purple energy on the villain's wrist seemed to have sensed something, and it began to roam around the villain's wrist crazily. It wanted to reach Jing Yi, but it didn't dare, so it could only approach and approach cautiously.
"Enough!"
Su Lixun's forehead bulged, and he pulled the villain out of Jing Yi's arms, held him in his arms, and walked towards the round table.
"Brother Jingyi!"
Su Jiu called out worriedly.
Su Lixun pressed her little head to prevent her from looking, "You must be hungry, Jiu'er, after sleeping for so long. Eat first."
Su Lixun pressed the little man on the stool, glanced at Jing Yi who was still kneeling and said, "If nothing happens, you can go out first."
If this little eunuch hadn't saved Jiu'er's life, he would never have been so kind.
He is just a slave. If you dare to disrespect him like this, you will be killed.
How could you tolerate him like this?
What's more, after returning from the cliff that day, Su Lixun sent someone to carefully check the little eunuch.
There are traces of his birth, and even when he did what he did, there seems to be witnesses. He looks like an ordinary little eunuch.
But this is the most abnormal place.
After all, an ordinary little eunuch didn't have the ability to save Jiu'er from the man in black robe.
The young man kneeling beside the couch finally reacted. No one saw him. At this time, his lowered eyes were filled with various complex emotional reactions, as if he was drowning in them.
The hands hidden in the cuffs became faintly transparent, as if they were about to disappear at any moment.
The boy, who had always been dull and dull, suddenly raised his head, his gaze seemed to penetrate the room, looking at the stars that had appeared at an unknown time.
The lips were as red as blood, and the paint-like eyes were full of stubbornness and reluctance.
No, I don’t want to leave!
Standing outside the house at night, listening to the goings on inside the house, I felt a little puzzled for a moment.
This is not the first time that the Ninth Princess has lived here. The little eunuch Jing Yi is usually silent, and he has never seen him so irritable before.
But just now, when the last ray of sunset set, the stars appeared.
The little eunuch suddenly broke into the house.
Listening to the movement in the bamboo house at night, he looked up at the sky and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
I saw, at some point, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the stars in the sky.
The most eye-catching thing among them is undoubtedly the seven stars that are almost connected in a line.
