Madam General, please run slower.

Chapter 27 Untitled Poem

"My cousin is not here. Who is Sister Jiang trying to tell this to?"

Yu Shurou curled her lips, showing her dissatisfaction directly on her face.

Jiang Wan choked. How could she not know that cousin Yu liked the general? She always stuck to him just to find out about the general.

However, Jiang Wan did not take Yu Shurou seriously. This girl's emotions were all shown on her face. Even if she entered the general's mansion, that brain would not be a threat to her.

Jiang Wan's expression quickly returned to normal, and he asked with a smile, "Princess, have you made up your mind?"

The hall fell silent once again, and everyone's eyes were filled with a look of watching a show.

Just when Tan Su'er was about to speak up to break the deadlock, Li put down the teacup in his hand and spoke slowly in a clear voice, "Why should I fear life and death? I will come back to warm the tea and wash away the filth."

The styles are completely different from Jiang Wan’s poem just now.

The girl lowered her voice without her usual coquettishness, and spoke calmly about life and death. Her plain white clothes seemed particularly solemn at this moment, an emotion that everyone present had never experienced before.

"Excuse me Princess, is there any further context to this poem?" Tan Su'er was stunned for a moment before asking. She inexplicably felt that the princess's next verse would surprise her.

Li glanced at Tan Su'er, and seeing that she looked excited, he nodded calmly and expressed what he was thinking.

"Dust and mud cannot dissolve the pile of bones,

The empty tomb still remembers the old people.

Why should I bind myself when my body is dead and my heart is dead?

The sea is peaceful and the rivers are clear, but things are different now. "

The cold voice coupled with the ruthless words made the people present break out in cold sweats, but as the voice flowed, the tone lost the aforementioned sadness and instead carried a hint of madness.

"When disaster strikes, trample all the ghosts.

The Feathered Iron Armor is the only one who is bloodthirsty.

Why should a lonely shadow fear life and death?

Come back and drink some warm tea to wash away the filth."

Although this poem is not written completely according to the rules of versification, its meaning sends chills down the spine of the listeners.

Not only was Tan Su'er surprised, everyone present was undoubtedly frightened and couldn't swallow the tea in their mouths.

Even Wei Qi, who was eavesdropping, couldn't help rubbing his arms.

Write it down, write it down. This poem will surely suit the master's taste. Wei Qi, who had somehow forgotten that he was here to spy, was writing furiously.

"Does this poem have a title?" a female member of the family came to her senses and asked.

She was also a daughter of a general, so she couldn't help but feel some empathy when she heard the poem. Her impression of this foolish princess as rumored by the outside world also changed 180 degrees.

"No title." Li said casually, but the other party misunderstood her meaning.

"'Untitled', no one can remember the empty grave of bones, but it's a good name. I just don't know who the author is, but I guess he must be a brave and fearless general. The heroic spirit of stepping on thousands of ghosts is not something that ordinary people can compare to. Besides, this feathered iron armor..."

Li watched the man start to do the reading comprehension and interrupted him: "When I say no topic, I really mean there is no topic. I'm too lazy to think about it."

Silence is the flower hall today.

The general's wife blinked in surprise, "So this poem was written by the princess just now?"

"Yeah, can't you?"

Everyone: OK, very good, very good. How can you be so excited while admiring chrysanthemums that you even visit a lonely grave?

With Li's untitled poem in front, the following Flying Flower Order seemed a bit underwhelming. Those who got their turn either said a few perfunctory words or simply admitted defeat.

Jiang Wan had no choice but to interrupt the game and ordered the servants to serve tea and snacks. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not dare to look at Li again.

After a while, plates of exquisite snacks were brought up.

Li looked at the porridge that Chunmei placed in front of him and was very confused. Why did she have an extra bowl of porridge? Jiang Wan wouldn't be so stupid as to put drugs directly in the porridge, right?

Perhaps seeing Li's confusion, Jiang Wan explained considerately, "We just got some cornus officinalis in the mansion. I thought it was very good for clearing away evil and nourishing the body, so I asked the general for some to make medicinal food. This is all thanks to Chunmei, the maid in the princess's courtyard. These cornus officinalis cakes were all invented by her."

Jiang Wan also took the porridge from the servant, picked up the spoon and took a sip, "This dogwood and lily porridge is light and sweet, it's quite good, Princess, try it and see if it suits your taste."

Cornus officinalis and lily porridge? Li Qing stirred the porridge in front of him and had some guesses in his heart that this season was indeed the best time to harvest cornus officinalis.

Li looked at the two newly planted dogwood trees in the yard, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the right was not far from her. Li could smell the faint fragrance from the branches and leaves with a light sniff. However, there were so many flowers in the yard that it was difficult to tell where the fragrance came from. After all, the rouge scent of the ladies next to her was much stronger than the fragrance of the flowers.

For someone who is not so particular about food, he finished the porridge in front of him in just a few mouthfuls, and after drinking it, he commented, "It tastes okay, it would be better with some meat."

"As long as the princess likes it." The fake smile on Jiang Wan's face cracked a little, and he turned around to entertain everyone.

After guessing the purpose of Jiang Wan's hosting of this chrysanthemum-viewing banquet, Li felt much more at ease. She picked up the dogwood cake and ate it bit by bit, but her hand under the table began to quietly mobilize her spiritual power. She did not ignore Jiang Wan's actions of stealing glances at her from time to time.

"This is my first time eating this dogwood cake." Yu Shurou couldn't stop eating after taking a small bite of the cake in her hand, her eyes full of novelty. Since Yu Xun was not here, she didn't want to serve anything fancy, and she finished the plate of cake in a short while.

"Ancient books have also recorded that dogwood has the miraculous effect of warding off bad air and resisting the initial cold. The weather is getting gradually colder, and it is very suitable to eat this dogwood cake." Jiang Wan smiled and handed the cake in his hand to Yu Shurou, asking her to eat slowly.

"Thank you, Sister Jiang." Yu Shurou said vaguely, her fair round face twitching slightly due to the chewing action, and her almond-shaped eyes made her look very cute. At this moment, Yu Shurou looked like a little hamster storing food for the winter, with her cheeks stuffed to the brim.

"Sister Jiang is so thoughtful." Others also thanked Jiang Wan.

When Jiang Wan saw Li's frank face, her heart sank, and she said that her father's guess was too outrageous.

Jiang Wan no longer kept her eyes on Li. She stood up and went to appreciate the chrysanthemums and chat with a few good sisters. Everyone was immersed in sharing gossip about the capital with their sisters, and no one noticed that Li had begun to bleed.

"what!!!"

A sharp scream interrupted the ladies' conversation, followed by the thump of a wooden chair falling to the ground.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, only to see that the person's originally white clothes were stained with a little red, just like the winter plum blossoms in the cold winter, which were particularly attractive. The woman supported her forehead with one hand and tightly grasped the collar of her chest with the other hand. She closed her eyes in pain, and blood beads kept condensing from her temples, crossing her face and leaving a gorgeous mark.

The scream came from the lady next to Li. She heard the muffled groan beside her and subconsciously turned her head to look, then was so scared that she fell to the ground.

But at this moment everyone was frightened by this scene, even the maid beside her stood there in a daze, forgetting to help her up from the ground.

"Princess...Princess?!"

"Doctor, call the doctor quickly!" Tan Su'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly ordered the maid beside her.

The hall was in chaos, and a vacuum zone suddenly appeared around Li, and no one dared to step forward.

Jiang Wan also came back to his senses and ordered, "Quick, help the princess go to the house to rest first, and the housekeeper go and bring everyone from the kitchen here, and don't let any of them escape."

The doctor came over quickly, and Li entered the house with the help of two maids.

Jiang Wan patted her chest lightly, suppressed her emotions, and then bowed to the sisters in the flower hall, "The princess is ill, please wait in the flower hall for a while until the doctor finds out the cause before leaving."
