Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves
Chapter 53: Uncertain
Su Manman carried the food box and walked slowly into the house.
As soon as you enter the door, you see a long table with plates and tea sets on it.
There was a soft couch in front of the window not far away, with a low table on it.
He sat at the table. There was a small stove on the table. A pot of tea was boiling on the stove. The tea was boiling and the room was filled with the aroma of tea.
Today, he was wearing a blue-gray robe embroidered with delicate cloud patterns, which was simple yet elegant.
She wore a wide dark green belt around her waist, and on the belt hung a jade pendant carved with dragon patterns, which made her look extremely noble.
Her long hair was tied up in a high bun and fixed with a jade hairpin, while the rest of her hair was left loose, looking neat and tidy, yet a little lazy.
He had a completely different aura from the black-robed and cold-faced God of War in her memory.
"I pay my respects to Your Highness." She bent her knees slightly and bowed gently.
Behave properly and be respectful.
Ye Mo glanced over sideways.
She was wearing a dark blue long skirt with green bamboo embroidered on the hem. When she bowed her head, a small section of her snow-white neck was exposed.
Ye Mo was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Come and sit down."
Coincidentally, he had something to tell her today.
When the girl heard his words, she slowly stood up and looked at him, her expression slightly stunned and her brows furrowed.
She has picturesque eyebrows and fair skin, and her plain long skirt outlines her slender waist. She exudes a fresh and refined temperament from head to toe.
"Come here." His tone was unyielding.
When did she become so close to the person in front of her?
Su Manman walked over obediently and sat sideways on the couch.
He reached out, took the teapot off the stove, and slowly poured the tea into the teacup.
The tea soup is emerald green, as bright as jade.
The tea has a faint fragrance, like an orchid in a deep valley, with an elegant scent.
He pushed the first cup of tea toward her and said, "This is from a tea tree on the hill behind Baiyun Temple. It's the first crop of tea this year."
Despite such good treatment, Su Manman didn't dare to move.
"Come here, try it." He continued to motion for her to drink.
what happened?
Based on her understanding of him in past and present lives, this man was definitely not this nice to women.
Could it be...
Su Manman recalled last night, when in order to save Mingjing, she forced him to sacrifice himself in public.
He does care.
Yes.
How could a man not care?
Although he likes homosexuality, he must feel disgusted in his heart.
Su Manman looked at the green tea soup and didn't dare to move.
"how?"
He raised his eyebrows and said, "I brewed the tea myself. Are you afraid that I will poison you?"
She was naturally afraid that he would poison her.
If he really poisoned her, could she not drink it then and there?
Su Manman picked up the teacup and sniffed it lightly.
Yeah! Very good.
It smells non-toxic.
She took a sip. It tasted refreshing at first, with a slightly astringent aftertaste, but without any smell of poison.
A smile immediately spread across his lips. "This is really good tea. Your Highness's tea-making skills are truly exceptional."
Who doesn't like to hear flattery?
As soon as she said this, the icy aura on the other person dissipated.
Su Manman hurriedly opened the food box, took out a plate of Poria cocos cake and put it on the table.
"Tea and cakes go very well together. Your Highness, please try this Poria cake. It's very good."
He smiled, "This is the Poria Cocos Cake from Baiyun Temple. You are quite good at offering gifts to Buddha."
Does she think that this Poria cocos cake is a must-have for vegetarian food in Baiyun Temple?
Poor eyesight and stupid brain.
Su Manman smiled awkwardly, moved closer, and whispered, "Your Highness's tea is also picked from the tea trees on the mountain behind Baiyun Temple. We are all blessed by the Buddha."
This mouth is the most eloquent and persuasive.
Ye Mo was in a good mood. He picked up a piece of Poria cocos cake and took a bite.
Poria cocos cake is soft and sticky when you put it in your mouth, and its sweet fragrance carries the unique medicinal aroma of Poria cocos.
It turns out that she likes the taste.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Her eyes flashed with eagerness.
Ye Mo said nothing and took another bite.
In fact, he doesn't like cakes very much.
Seeing him take another bite, he seemed to be in a good mood.
Su Manman spoke at the right time: "Yesterday, Mingjing and I were in danger. After thinking about it, I realized that there is only one grudge between the freighter and us."
"The day before yesterday, during a heavy rainstorm, I ran into them carrying jars. I accidentally noticed the smell of gunpowder in the jars and guessed they were using the jars to transport gunpowder. Your Highness also knows what happened next."
Ye Mo listened to her without interrupting.
After finishing the remaining half of the cake in his hand, he poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip before speaking: "Gan Guicheng has been arrested and confessed everything."
"He is a desperado who takes money from people and helps them get rid of disasters."
"It was a kiln worker named Wang Er, who was hired for a large sum of money."
"It's really Wang Er."
Su Manman's expression changed slightly, "My mother's poison bowl might have been made by Wang Er."
Ye Mo's eyes were deep, "The secret guards have already gone to look for him. There will be news in a few days."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Manman nodded and bowed, "Please, Your Highness, please catch the man and be sure to inform me."
"I want to ask him face to face why he created the poison bowl to harm my mother."
"Row."
Ye Mo's gaze fell on the side of her face. "There is something I don't understand. Why would you rather be beaten than hide your skills?"
The purple handprint on Su Manman's right cheek had almost disappeared.
If you don't look carefully, you can't see anything at all.
Only when you look closely, you can see a faint circle of light yellow marks on the edge of the bun.
"I didn't hide it on purpose, it's just that they didn't know."
"You have the ability to protect yourself, so this slap was not unfair to you?" he asked.
The tomboy in the psychedelic forest was chased by a wild boar for three days and three nights because she disturbed her sleep. In the end, she turned into charcoal-grilled wild boar meat.
Ok?
Beaten?
Su Manman belatedly realized, "I'm the daughter of the Su family. If my father wants to take action, how can I, as a daughter, fight him? Isn't that unfilial?"
"That day at the Su Mansion, when you scolded Lord Su, didn't you see any father-daughter affection for him?"
"He sent me to Jiangyang and left me there for six years without paying any attention to me. Naturally, the father-daughter relationship has become less intense..."
"Do you want to deal with him?"
"Well..." Su Manman realized that he had diverted her from the topic. "Your Highness, I never come to your temple for no reason. I came here today to ask for a favor."
It turned out that she came here on purpose, not to check on his injury.
Ye Mo raised the teapot and was about to give her another cup of tea, but when he heard her say that, he put the teapot down.
"explain."
That short word made one's heart tighten.
Su Manman stammered, "Your Highness also knows that my mother is seriously ill and I'm afraid she won't live long."
"I heard that there's an icy bed in the Princess's mansion that can absorb all kinds of poisons and also delay the invasion of toxins into the body, so..."
She paused, stood up, and bowed respectfully to him, "I dare to ask Your Highness if you can give me a piece of the Ice Stone from the Princess's Mansion."
The moment she leaned over, the red string hanging around her neck swung out, and a warm yellow jade cicada swayed out.
The jade cicada has a warm color and is exquisitely carved, with an emerald green jade disk hanging at the end.
She actually carried the gift given by the old monk with her. What about his?
Where is his Xuan Yue?
Is it true as she once said that she had already sent it to the pawn shop to exchange for silver?
