After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen
Chapter 214 Coincidence?
Cui Yuqing happened to come over to deliver some "Fang Shan Lu Ya". Seeing the two brothers, he was a little surprised. He put down the teapot and bowed to them.
Xiao Jianting has always been courteous, so he naturally stood up to return the greeting. He was very serious and polite, but it also made people feel distant.
Xiao Helin, like Xiao Yunzheng, was not very concerned about these rules. He raised his eyebrows at Cui Yuqing and said, "Brother Cui, please send a message back to the Xiao residence to inform my father that it was a misunderstanding. My brother and I will go to your teahouse to listen to the opera and then take my younger sister back."
Cui Yuqing nodded, "It will definitely be done."
He smiled again, "Do you have any other instructions, ladies?"
Nian Susu and Li Yaoyuan looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads at the same time.
Since they are old friends with Xiao Jianting, how can they send him to do things again?
Xiao Yunzheng waved her hand to urge him to leave, "Go back and have a rest. If you need anything, just call the waiter."
Cui Yuqing coughed lightly a few times, frowned, and seemed to be feeling unwell, so he said goodbye to the others.
Xiao Yunzheng glanced sideways at the thin figure that was walking away. She still couldn't understand how it was possible that her elder brother was an acquaintance of this sickly guy?
Cui Yuqing was weak because he had a strange disease called "diabetes". When the disease occurred, he would eat and drink more and his body would become thinner day by day, so he looked like a weak willow in the wind.
This diabetes is an incurable disease that he had from his mother's womb. No famous doctors in the world could cure it. He had an older brother, but he died at the age of thirty because of this strange disease.
Xiao Yunzheng had a bad thought in her mind: Cui Yuqing looked very sick and there was no telling how much time he had left.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Cui Yuqing.
She tugged at Xiao Jianting's sleeve and asked worriedly, "Brother, is his illness really incurable?"
Nian Susu and Li Yaoyuan looked at each other. This was someone else's private matter and it would not be good for them to listen to it. They were about to interrupt Xiao Yunzheng, but Xiao Jianting spoke first to scold her.
"Yun Zheng! This is Mr. Cui's privacy. How can you say it in public? Don't do this again in the future."
Even Xiao Helin didn't know about this. Xiao Yunzheng only found out about it when she accidentally saw him having an attack when she was a teenager. In front of Nian Susu and Li Yaoyuan, Xiao Jianting didn't want to talk about Cui Yuqing behind his back.
Xiao Helin wanted to say something but stopped himself. Seeing his elder brother's stern tone, he swallowed his words back.
Li Yaoyuan asked about Xiao Jianting's injury, which made him stop holding Xiao Yunzheng so tightly.
The two of them got along so well that they automatically blocked out everyone else.
Xiao Helin wanted to talk to Nian Susu intentionally or unintentionally, but she always looked like she was worried about something.
He felt embarrassed and shut up.
After sitting for a while, the actors come on stage. The first play is usually a song that everyone is familiar with, in order to liven up the atmosphere and make the guests interested in staying.
The sounds of gongs, drums and suona on the stage were in unison, with a tight rhythm, creating a tense and serious atmosphere.
The first play was "House of Flying Daggers", also known as "Farewell My Concubine".
"Farewell My Concubine" is one of the most popular and well-known songs. Everyone, from wealthy families to ordinary people, loves it.
The play tells the story of the Chu-Han Contention, when Xiang Yu led his troops and when he reached the vicinity of Jiuli Mountain, he was ambushed by Han Xin from all sides and was trapped at Gaixia.
Xiang Yu knew that the situation was hopeless, so he went back to his tent to drink with Yu Ji to relieve his sorrow. Yu Ji danced to comfort him, and to relieve Xiang Yu's worries, Yu Ji took a sword and committed suicide.
Later, when Xiang Yu broke through the siege and fled to the Wujiang River, he felt ashamed to face the elders of Jiangdong, so he committed suicide without crossing the river.
People admire Yu Ji's loyalty, tragic heroism and also praise Xiang Yu's sense of shame, loyalty, uprightness and courage.
After the song was sung, it ended with "Xiang Yu" committing suicide, and the audience applauded loudly and shouted "good".
Nian Susu was absent-minded and out of tune with the joyful atmosphere.
She frowned and her face looked pale and ugly.
Xiao Helin noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, Miss Nian? Are you feeling unwell?"
Nian Susu's thoughts moved, and she nodded along with his words, "I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach when I went out this morning."
After hearing this, Xiao Yunzheng was so anxious that she wanted to take her to find a clinic.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier! If I had known you were not feeling well, I wouldn't have dragged you out!" She puffed her cheeks. Although her tone was harsh, she was not blaming Nian Susu, but blaming herself.
If she hadn't "scolded" Nian Susu as soon as she entered the door, she wouldn't have dared to tell them that she was not feeling well and would have insisted on accompanying them for so long.
Even Li Yaoyuan's face turned red with guilt.
"Lingling, why don't we go to the nearest clinic to see a doctor?"
Nian Susu originally just wanted to find an excuse to slip away, but she didn't expect that it would end up making everyone worry about her.
They had just listened to a play and certainly hadn't had enough fun. She didn't want to spoil their fun, so she rejected their kindness. After making sure again and again that she could walk back to the prime minister's residence, she said goodbye to them.
After coming out of Taihe Teahouse, Nian Susu walked towards Yuanlai Restaurant with a sullen face.
The street was crowded and bustling, but she felt her hands and feet were cold.
After entering Yuanlai Restaurant, she greeted the owner, who immediately went to invite people.
Yun Jianfeng also had a serious expression when he came to see her. The last time they met, they were still talking and laughing, but this time they didn't even bother to be polite. They both knew what the other was thinking.
In silence, she followed Yun Jianfeng up to the third floor.
The two sat opposite each other by the window. Although they were in a heavy mood, they still had hot tea on the table.
The heat made it difficult for her to see Yun Jianfeng's expression.
"Miss Nian, I know what you want to ask." He paused and lowered his voice, "But I don't know where he is now or what his situation is."
Nian Susu had originally still held out a glimmer of hope, but now a basin of cold water was poured over her head, soaking her thoroughly.
She clenched her fists and murmured in disappointment, "Is there really no news at all..."
Yun Jianfeng sighed, "The news I got is that the president of the Spiritual Questioning Society wanted to assassinate Xuanji. Xuanji was injured and fled to Shengjing under the escort of the people from Tianxuan Villa. On the way, he was intercepted and killed by the people from the Spiritual Questioning Society. All of them disappeared, including Xuanji and his confidants."
His confidant...
Nian Susu remembered the man wearing the eagle-wing mask. He often appeared beside Xuanji, and even he was in danger. Xuanji must be in dire straits.
Since they couldn't get any information from Yun Jianfeng, and neither of them was in the mood to keep chatting, Nian Susu left.
On the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was worried, but suddenly thought of Qin Junyu.
He came to me for help that night, and it happened to be the same day that Xuan Ji was assassinated. He was hit by a dart, and Xuan Ji was ambushed...
How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Qin Junyu said that he was ambushed by Prince Ren's men. Is this true or false?
She didn't believe that Qin Junyu's ambush and Xuan Ji's conspiracy were just coincidences.
