Chapter 140: Do You Want Revenge?
"Okay." Xue Jinyi smiled and took a bite of the flax cake, and the fragrance of sesame seeds instantly lingered between her lips and teeth.
King Chu also took a bite, chewing slowly while looking at Xue Jinyi.
Xue Jinyi blinked, "What's wrong?" ”
King Chu suddenly raised his hand, and his thumb gently swept the corners of her lips.
It seemed that an electric current flashed through his body, and Xue Jinyi did not retreat, but looked at King Chu with slightly wide eyes.
King Chu retracted his hand and shook it in front of Xue Jinyi's eyes, and there was a small sesame seed on his thumb.
"Thank you."
"No, you don't."
After the two of them each ate half a flax cake and drank another cup of tea, the conversation continued.
Xue Jinyi asked, "You said that your mother was poisoned, who is that person?" ”
"Empress Cai." King Chu said, "My father once casually said at the family banquet, 'The eldest son of the emperor will inherit the throne', which made Queen Cai remember it in her heart, and she tried her best to do so, but who expected that a palace maid would take the lead, so she held a grudge." My aunt and grandmother originally found a witness, but Cai Jiaqi was a good player and destroyed the body. Besides......"
He smiled wryly.
There is really conclusive evidence that Empress Cai carelessly disregarded human life and mutilated the prince, and the emperor will not uphold justice.
For the emperor, after a spring festival with the former dynasty criminals, he also gave birth to his own son, which can't be regarded as a nightmare, right?
Xue Jinyi patted the back of King Chu's hand comfortingly, "So, you want to avenge your biological mother?" ”
"That's just one of them." King Chu looked at Xue Jinyi meaningfully.
Xue Jinyi's heart jumped, what about the second and third things, there can be countless kinds of speculation, and even the ultimate goal of the King of Chu is to be on the throne, so that the world knows that an unknown prince can also do a career.
She pursed her lips, "By the way, through your words, I noticed that your mother's relationship with your aunt and grandmother seems to be extraordinary?" ”
Originally, I thought that the eldest princess wanted to help the poor prince, but now it seems that the eldest princess and the biological mother of King Chu seem to have a deep relationship, otherwise, she would not interfere in the affairs of the biological mother of the king of Chu again and again.
"What do you think?" The king of Chu did not answer directly.
Xue Jinyi said: "Since your mother is the daughter of a former court official, she may have come from a famous and noble family, so she has known your aunt and grandmother for a long time?" ”
"I guess that's the same." King Chu nodded.
"Huh?" Xue Jinyi was surprised: "It turns out that my aunt didn't tell you Ming?" ”
King Chu shook his head, "Maybe in the future, Grandmother Gu will be willing to say something to us." ”
"Hmm."
The King of Chu waited and asked, "What else do you want to know?" ”
"Not yet."
"Then," King Chu said slowly, "it's my turn to ask." ”
Xue Jinyi said "um" casually.
"What kind of person are you?" King Chu asked word by word.
Xue Jinyi calmly took a sip of tea, "That's what you see." ”
The carriage galloped all the way to the Land Gong Temple.
Xue Jinyi deliberately left the King of Chu a few steps behind and followed him.
The King of Chu turned his head in confusion.
Xue Jinyi said, "I want to see your back." Let's go, don't delay things. ”
According to his words, the king of Chu walked into the Digong Temple, it was just time for lunch, and the courtyard was filled with hot white smoke, and the air was filled with the aroma of food, as well as the laughter of people.
After Xue Jinyi saw King Chu walk into the courtyard, people smiled and saluted him in a regular manner, not as scared as they were at the beginning.
It's just that...... She remembered coldly that night when the King of Chu was sitting at the gate of the temple, and Zhao Wen'er was pulling and pulling with him.
Forget it, what do you want to do with these?
She has crossed into a feudal society, so she has to be mentally prepared.
However, she will not take a step back from what she can fight for.
"Miss Xue, what are you thinking?" King Chu suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted.
Xue Jinyi smiled slightly, quickly caught up with him, and said in a low voice: "I found that everyone is not afraid of you anymore, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a good image in the minds of refugees." ”
"Half a flax cake is not enough, eat some more." What the king of Chu said was a different matter.
"yes, okay." Xue Jinyi nodded, and waved to the people who greeted her.
When the king of Chu walked away, Uncle Zhang, Xiaobao's mother and others rushed up one after another, all kinds of concerns.
"Miss Xue, are your injuries healed?"
"Miss Xue, leg and foot injuries should be more taken care of at home, you see that I fell ill in the past, and I walked with a little limp!"
"yes, yes, you're a young girl, but you have to pay attention."
"However, I said that you have noticed that Miss Xue's complexion is better than before, and she has become more beautiful."
"Don't worry, I'm just a little injured, and I'm already completely healed." Xue Jinyi smiled softly: "So, why don't you hurry up and come over to see everyone, otherwise you will always remember it in your heart." ”
Xiaobao's mother said, "Miss Xue, we are all right. ”
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was excellent.
The king of Chu took a bowl of soup and two steamed cakes, "Eat quickly." ”
Uncle Zhang and the others squeezed their eyebrows at Xue Jinyi, snickered and dispersed.
Xue Jinyi took the food and sat on the empty bench on the side, the steamed cakes were similar to modern steamed buns, and the soup was boiled with pork bones, which was quite fragrant.
King Chu said: "Recently, the price of pork bones has been cheap, and the refugees haven't smelled any meat for a while, so they specially bought it for them to eat." The next time you want to eat, you have to rely on your own labor. ”
"What about you?" She looked at King Chu who was sitting on the other end of the bench empty-handed, "No, we have to wait for the next batch." ”
Xue Jinyi proudly handed over a steamed cake, "You have been running all the way like me, it's hard work, let's eat some to cushion your stomach first." ”
"Thank you Miss Xue for your concern." The king of Chu was also not polite and took the steamed cake.
Xue Jinyi ate two bites of steamed cakes and drank a mouthful of pork bone soup, although the food is very simple, but it is delicious and can fill the stomach, so happiness is so simple.
She saw the King of Chu nibbling on steamed cakes, and handed over the soup bowl with a smile, "If you don't dislike it......
"You will be my wife, what can I dislike?" King Chu directly took a sip of soup on his hand, "Enough, you can drink it." ”
Xue Jinyi ate the remaining steamed cakes and drank the soup slowly, glancing at the King of Chu.
The King of Chu was also eating steamed cakes slowly.
People looked at them with envy and blessings in their eyes, as if they were a pair of fairy couples that everyone envied.
"Have you eaten enough?" She put down the soup bowl and heard the king of Chu ask.
"I'm full." Xue Jinyi got up, "You keep eating, I'll go around." ”
King Chu swallowed the remaining small piece of steamed cake in one bite and clapped his hands, "I'll accompany you." ”
"Don't use it?" Xue Jinyi frowned, what is the King of Chu doing so diligently, "You are a big man, how can one steamed cake be enough?" ”
"I also took two sips of broth."
