Flowers are expensive

Chapter 305
"That's so weird!" Xixi picked up the bowls and chopsticks, stood up and shrugged, and turned to go to the kitchen.After serving the three masters for dinner, it was her turn to enjoy her "gourmet feast".She put a piece of fried apple slices into her mouth, chewed a few times and said to herself: "It's not that delicious? Is the prince surnamed Zhao really tasteless? What a pity! It's a pity that he has such a pretty face." Unexpectedly, there is no taste, alas!"

The annex is very quiet at night, like a pearl dropped into the sea.Compared with the tranquility of the town, it is a bit more elegant and remote.Xixi returned to her room after finishing her work in the stove, and took out her notebook to research new products under the candlelight.When drowsiness came, she turned off the lights and took a rest.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard a hasty knock on the door, got her head out of the quilt, and asked in a daze, "Who is it?"

"Open the door!" It was Yuan Yin's commanding tone.

"Eh?" Hearing this voice, Xixi suddenly woke up, sat up quickly and asked, "Is... what's the matter?"

"If you don't open the door, I'll kick it!"

"Isn't it?" Xixi hugged herself tightly, thinking why did she open the door by herself in the middle of the night?Lonely men and widows, don't just try to give yourself to... Her mind immediately played out a scene of how the bully prince is shining like a little white flower!She hurriedly got out of bed, put on her clothes in a smear, and then went to the door and asked, "My lord, you... just tell me if you have any orders..."

Before she finished speaking, the window next to her was broken open, and Yuan Yin jumped in!She was so frightened that she just wanted to scream, Yuan Yin stepped forward and grabbed her throat, she almost lost her breath!Her heart was in a mess like a mess, it's over, is this person really going to force him?No reason!After so many years of guarding oneself like a jade, is it going to disappear like this?woo woo woo woo……

"Don't shout, don't shout, do you hear me?" Yuan Yin said in a warning tone.

It really is Qin Beast!Even the routine of picking flowers is the same as on TV!Her eyes were full of tears, if not, she would bite her tongue and kill herself... But, it would be an ugly death if she bit her tongue... then she would pull out her hairpin and stab her... Wait, it seems like this is an even uglier death !How about... Or beg this Uncle Zhao, just tell him that you are a super virus carrier?
Yuan Yin let go of her hand suddenly, and she was able to take a breath of fresh air.After taking a short breath, she immediately had tears in her eyes, and she said pitifully to Yuan Yin: "My lord, look at you...you'd better find someone else!"

Yuan Yin frowned, and asked back: "I'm looking for someone else?"

"Yes, yes!" Xixi nodded hurriedly, "Look at you, you are so...so...the jade tree is facing the wind, so handsome that the stars in the sky are ashamed to fall to the ground and become a street lamp, such a magnanimous person like you The younger one should find a woman who understands you better and serve you well, the younger one heard that there is a stunning beauty in the silver makeup building in the city, that is simply unprecedented..."

"So?" Yuan Yin interrupted Xixi impatiently, wondering what this girl was thinking!Do I look like an overlord?

"So... so..." Xixi took two steps back from the round table and said, "You are a good person, and you are so good-looking, if you really treat the little one... of course, the little one doesn't dislike you, absolutely not! But the small one is afraid of tarnishing your tall and stalwart image, isn't it? I don't want to add a failure to your romantic list, do I? So..."

"So you think I'm here to pick flowers?" Yuan Yin really almost laughed out loud, this girl really looks like Lihua when she speaks!

"Eh? Then you are..."

"Are you naturally fond of self-love?"

Xixi's face suddenly turned red!If there were candles in the house, you would be sure to see her red from forehead to ear, like drinking too much soju or boiled crabs.She was extremely depressed, biting her lower lip tightly, whining in her heart that she was thinking too much...

"I'm here to ask you, where did your young master go?"

"Young master? Eldest young master? The little one doesn't know!"

"Where else would he go if he wasn't in the room?"

Xixi thought for a while and said, "Young master seldom goes out at night. If he's not in the room, maybe he's in the backyard!"

"I have searched all over the backyard and front hall, but there is no one," Yuan Yin took a step towards her, and asked with a serious expression, "I ask you, have you ever seen strangers come in and out during the few days you have been here?"

"Stranger?" Xixi shook her head vigorously, "No!"

"Do you know who you are talking to?" Yuan Yin asked coldly.

"Follow...with you..."

"People who tell lies to me often have no good results!"

Xixi's legs softened, she held the round table and waved her hands: "I really... I didn't see any strangers! If I did, I would have told the eldest young master or the shopkeeper Meng. Besides, the little one is so timid. If you really hid someone's words, I'm afraid it will be revealed in front of you, isn't it?"

"Are there any other culverts in this house?"

"This little one really doesn't know. Even if there is, only the young master should know. From the wood to the beams of this house, the young master did it himself."

"Have you the key to the cellar?"

"Have……"

"Come out with me!" Yuan Yin opened the door and went out after finishing speaking.

Xixi rolled her eyes, what kind of thing is this?Came here in the middle of the night to arrest the imperial court criminals?It's really not a good thing for these two people to live here!However, where did the young master go so late?Why not in the room?

Xixi took the key and lamp, and led Yuanyin to the cellar.The cellar is just below the house, a basement with a very low temperature, filled with baskets of fresh peaches.Yuan Yin went down to the cellar to check everywhere.Just as he was looking carefully, it was suddenly dark in the cellar. He put his hand on the saber vigilantly, turned around and shouted: "What's going on?"

Xixi didn't answer, only Yuan Yin's echo was left in the whole cellar.Yuan Yin asked again: "Liang Xixi?"

Still no one responded, Yuan Yin's voice became harsher again: "Liang Xixi?"

After a while, Xixi's timid and apologetic voice came from somewhere in the darkness: "It's too cold here, I shook my hands... and I just... knocked over..." The ending sounded extremely innocent. the taste of.

"You are really stupid!" Yuan Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your compliment..."

"Stand there and don't move."

"Yes……"

It's not that Xixi doesn't want to move, it's that she can't move at all.The moment the lights went out just now, someone covered her mouth from behind, and she almost fainted from fright!Just when she was about to struggle, a slightly panting and familiar voice suddenly came from her ear: "Miss Liang, I'm sorry..."

She frowned, and immediately remembered!Isn't this the master young master who was beaten by her like a cat?Why is this person here?

A scent of mugwort leaves floated into her nostrils, and the scene of the expert young master jumping down from the tree suddenly flashed in her mind, and she remembered the words that Zhao Wangye asked at the door of the eldest young master Meng Heng, and in the end everything All my thoughts came back to the four words - the imperial court committed crimes!
When Yuan Yin called her name, Master Master whispered in her ear again: "Just pretend you haven't seen me, otherwise you will be in trouble... Thank you in the future!" After saying this, her mouth was loosened. When it was opened, a gust of fresh air came in.Only then did she have the strength to answer Yuan Yin's words.

Before Xixihun could settle down, a burst of flames lit up in front of her eyes, causing her to quickly cover her eyes with her hands.When she slowly put down her hand, she was surprised to find that Prince Zhao was standing two steps away from her, holding a fire folder in his hand, looking at her expressionlessly.

"You... how do you know I'm here?"

Yuan Yin didn't answer her, picked up the lamp from the ground, lit it and handed it to her.In fact, since he told Xixi not to move just now, he was walking towards Xixi.Although the cellar was full of the scent of peaches, he could still distinguish the scent from Xixi's body, so it was not difficult for him to find Xixi's location.He ordered: "Light up all the wall lamps in the cellar!"

"Oh yes!"

Just as Xixi walked past Yuan Yin, Yuan Yin suddenly held her shoulder, and asked with dark eyes: "Who touched you just now?"

Shocked, she quickly shook her head and said, "No...no!"

"lie!"

"Not really!"

Yuan Yin glared at Xixi, grabbed the lamp in her hand, and quickly lit all the wall lamps in the cellar. For a while, the cellar was as bright as day.Afterwards, Yuan Yin started a devastating search, and baskets of juicy peaches were kicked to the ground and smashed to pieces!

Xixi was so frightened by Yuan Yin's angry look that she stood aside and dared not speak.At this moment, Yuan Yin found a secret passage on the easternmost wall.He seemed to understand where the dark passage led to!
"Master!" Zhao Xun hurriedly ran in and said, "This subordinate just fought against Zhuang Yunxian, she seems to have brought a few people here!"

"Qing Yi may have already run away!" Yuan Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Go and tell Hu Po immediately to search carefully the area of ​​this annex for hundreds of miles! Qing Yi must not be allowed to run away again!"

"This subordinate understands!" Zhao Xun hurried away.

Yuan Yin glared at Xi Xi with jealous eyes.Xixi was so frightened that she wanted to back away, but Yuan Yin reached out and grabbed her arm.Yuan Yin struck with too much force, Xi Xi cried out in pain!
"Let me ask you one more question," Yuan Yin said with fiery eyes, "Did you come into contact with Qing Yi just now?"

"No!" Xixi still denied it flatly.It's easy to admit, but the consequence of admitting is to cover up the imperial court's criminals!It's fine to involve her alone, and it may cause the Meng family to get into trouble, so she made up her mind to kill her and refuse to admit it!

"You'd better remember what I said before! Lie to me, that will be your last words before you die!" Yuan Yin threw away her arm and strode out of the cellar.She rubbed her pinched arm, feeling scared, what should I do?This shit Prince Zhao won't really want my life, right?
Half an hour later, Meng Furu rushed to the other hall.As soon as she entered the inner hall, she felt that the atmosphere was very strange.Xixi was kneeling on the ground, rubbing her belt pitifully, but her elder brother Meng Hengqing was nowhere to be seen.Zhao Yuanyin's bodyguards were all there, as if something big just happened.Meng Furu hurriedly asked: "My lord, what happened? Could it be that someone came to assassinate the lord at night?"

"Where did your brother go?" Yuan Yin asked with a dark face.

"Brother? Isn't it in the annex?"

"If so, I still ask you?"

"This..." Meng Furu hurriedly asked Xi Xi who was kneeling next to him, "Where is the young master?"

Xixi was full of grievances, pouted and said, "How would I know? There is no one in the young master's room, and he didn't tell me."

"how come……"

"Meng Furu," Yuan Yin interrupted her, and said in a cold voice, "Do you know the crime of harboring the imperial court?"

Meng Furu hurriedly said: "Ministers know! But my lord, do you suspect that my brother secretly hides the imperial court? My lord, don't you think this is a big joke? Do this decapitation, not to mention, my father is still in your custody, how can my brother hide the person you want?"
