Chapter 350 Good News
When everyone came out of the tent, it was already daybreak.
As the morning light breaks, the golden sunlight shines on the earth, radiating the glory of spring. The alternation of the old and the new dispels all the haze of last night.
Yao Jia looked at the gradually clear outline of the mountains in the distance and let out a long sigh of relief. "I've been exhausted all night. Let's go to the forest and hunt some game for breakfast."
An He yawned and waved at her, "I won't go. I have to tell my brother what happened tonight and make him happy."
Yao Jia chuckled and approached her with a cunning look on his face, "Remember to tell her about Xiao Fengli's blasphemy against you. Maybe your brother will kill him right now."
Yao Jia gestured towards her crotch.
An He shivered with disgust, "Don't mention him to me again. I feel sick when I think of him now."
Looking at Jiang Sirong who had been deep in thought, he said, "Cousin Sirong, what's wrong with you? Why do you start to daydream as soon as you come out? Will you come with me to see my brother?"
Jiang Sirong's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, "I'm fine, but suddenly, I feel that everything has settled, and I feel a little empty in my heart."
She looked into the distance, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, and sprinkled on her pale face, adding a bit of warmth to her. She took a deep breath, as if to inhale the fresh air along with the haze in her heart, and then slowly exhaled.
"Let's go, my cousin should be awake by now."
They all went to visit Xiao Fengyi, and Yao Jia simply followed them for a walk.
Xiao Fengyi had been awake for more than half an hour. When he saw the three people coming, he skipped his gaze over the two and looked at Yao Jia.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to thank Yao Jia for saving his life, An He ran over and told him everything that happened at the Emperor's place. At the end, he even exaggerated how embarrassed Xiao Fengli was after his true identity was revealed, which made Xiao Fengyi laugh so hard that the fatigue in his eyes dissipated a little.
Yao Jia listened and laughed, occasionally interjecting a few words to make the atmosphere more lively.
Jiang Sirong sat quietly aside, with a faint smile on her lips and relief and peace in her eyes.
"Brother, you planned everything, why didn't you tell me?" An He blamed Xiao Fengyi.
Xiao Fengyi smiled and said, "Not only did I not tell you, I didn't even tell the Pavilion Master. I was thinking of facing it by myself, but who knew there would be an assassin."
He looked at Yao Jia, his eyes full of eagerness, "Thank you, Yao Yao, you saved me again."
Yao Jia smiled and said, "Even if I don't help, someone will come to save you."
Not long after the assassin came in, she sensed several hidden auras around the tent, which must be the secret guards lying in ambush there.
"I can't hide anything from you."
Wei Xie had already defected to him, and today he deliberately provoked Xiao Fengli to make Xiao Fengli lose his composure and attack him.
They talked for a while, and Yao Jia felt very tired, so he said goodbye to them and went back to his tent to catch up on some sleep.
I slept extremely soundly, as if all the fatigue and tension of the past few days were completely released at this moment.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon.
Only Gu Xiyan was sitting in the tent reading a military book.
Yao Jia rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat up, stretched, and felt relaxed.
"Why are you alone? Where are Huahua and Huaichuan?"
Gu Xiyan gently closed the military book in his hand and poured a glass of water to moisten her throat.
"That snow fox was really cunning. It escaped when Brother Bai opened the cage to feed it. Huaichuan accompanied Brother Bai to look for it."
Now that I can go out and look for foxes, it seems the lockdown has been lifted.
Yao Jia couldn't help laughing out loud, "Hua Hua is really good at having fun. But with Huai Chuan following us, nothing serious should happen."
After taking the water from Gu Xiyan, he gulped down a few mouthfuls and sighed with satisfaction, "It's so comfortable. I feel like I'm alive again."
Gu Xiyan's eyes fell on her gently, "You were sleeping soundly, and I didn't have the heart to wake you up. Before noon, Wei Yu sent a message that His Majesty had already drafted an edict to appoint Prince Rui as the Crown Prince, and it was just waiting to be read out after returning to the capital. There is one more thing... Jiang Sirong came once when you were asleep, and seeing that you were not awake, she asked me to tell you... She wants you to fulfill your promise."
Yao Jia chuckled, "It seems that Jiang Sirong is not satisfied with Xiao Fengli's current ending. Since she wants to deal with Xiao Fengli personally, I naturally have to agree. What does she want to do?"
Gu Xiyan leaned forward slightly, approached Yao Jia, and lowered her voice and said, "She hopes to meet Xiao Fengli in person before being exiled and give him another 'unforgettable lesson'. She said that this is her final revenge as Jiang Sirong."
There was a hint of amusement in Yao Jia's eyes, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"It's rare to see her so insistent, so let her be. However, we have to ensure her safety. After all, although Xiao Fengli has lost his power now, there is no guarantee that he will not do something desperate."
"I have arranged for people to protect her in secret." Gu Xiyan nodded, a hint of imperceptible amusement flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure, "After she left us, she went to the execution ground of Concubine De and Que Huaiying."
"Where is she going and what is she doing?" Yao Jia looked at Gu Xiyan with confusion.
Before Gu Xiyan could answer, the curtain was lifted.
Huaichuan, with a look of disgust, supported Bai Huahua, who was blue in the face and exhausted, in.
When Bai Huahua saw Yao Jia, she cried out "Wow" and threw herself into her arms, her body twitching as she cried, "It's horrible, so cruel, I don't want to stay here, I want to go home, now..."
His body was shaking, cold sweat was on his forehead, and his lips were so white that they were almost transparent.
Yao Jia quickly patted his back soothingly, whispered to him gently, and asked Huaichuan what had happened.
Huaichuan smiled bitterly and explained, "It was all because of that stinky fox who smelled the blood and ran to the execution site of Concubine De and Que Huaiying.
Bai Pingjun was also very curious, so he pulled the curtain to take a look inside, but he was so frightened by the bloody scene that he almost fainted, and then he vomited all over. "
Yao Jia sighed softly and asked the servant waiting outside the door to invite Xu Yanlou over.
Patting Bai Huahua's back gently, he said, "Don't be afraid. They all deserve what they get. You should not keep the fox. It's better to release it into the forest."
Bai Huahua nodded vigorously. Seeing the bloody scene was not so scary. What was scary was seeing such a cute white fox actually eating human flesh. He just...
He buried his head deeply in Yao Jia's arms, as if seeking more sense of security.
Seeing this, Gu Xiyan changed the subject at the right time, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yao Jia.
"This is the letter Jiang Sirong asked me to give you."
When she heard the name Jiang Sirong, Bai Huahua raised her head from Yao Jia's arms, her eyes full of anxiety, but then she seemed to remember something terrible, her face turned pale and distorted again, and her stomach was churning.
He stood up and ran out of the tent and started vomiting violently.
Yao Jia: …………
"What's going on? Why are you vomiting again?"
Huaichuan seemed to have thought of something bad, and shuddered all over. He looked at Yaojia with an especially strange expression and said, "We saw Miss Jiang who just left there. My junior brother told me that Miss Jiang actually asked them for a few pieces of meat scraped from Concubine De and Que Huaiying."
Yao Jia was so shocked that the letter in her hand almost slipped. She stared at Huaichuan in disbelief with her eyes wide open.
"What did you say? She wants their...meat?
Yao Jia's voice trembled slightly. Even someone who had seen a lot of storms was so shocked by Jiang Sirong's actions that she was speechless.
Why is Jiang Sirong's behavior so strange this time?
"Brother, could it be that His Majesty has given the execution task to Marquis Qi?"
Huaichuan nodded. "It was the two junior brothers from the Shadow Guard Battalion who did it. They described to me how Miss Jiang took the bloody pieces of meat expressionlessly and put them into the brocade box she carried with her without saying a word."
Huaichuan was also surprised at the time, wondering how could the eldest daughter of Duke Jiang be so indifferent? Her psychological quality was even more frightening than those of them who lived on the edge of a knife.
Yao Jia took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in her heart.
Thinking about Jiang Sirong saying that she was going to meet Xiao Fengli, could it be that she was going to take the meat...
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it's really a strong taste.
I wonder how she will feed it to Xiao Fengli?
Seduction, intimidation or forcing?
Cooked or raw?
As he thought about it, his stomach began to churn and he dry-heaved a few times.
Just at this moment Xu Yanlou came in, and seeing her like this, he reached out to take her pulse.
Yao Jia quickly waved her hands, indicating that she was just feeling nauseous, and asked him to quickly examine Bai Huahua, who was exhausted from vomiting.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yanlou immediately turned his attention to Bai Huahua, who was lying on the couch with a look of despair on her face.
After a thorough examination, he diagnosed that the patient was simply over-frightened and had gastrointestinal discomfort. He prescribed a few tranquilizing medicines and told his attendants to prepare them immediately.
Then, he walked to Yaojia and insisted on taking Yaojia's pulse.
Yao Jia was confused. She was in good health and didn't understand why Xu Yanlou did this. But it was not easy to reject his kindness, so she had to stretch out her wrist.
Xu Yanlou took Yao Jia's pulse carefully, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, as if he was carefully analyzing something.
"Doctor Xu, why are you so insistent on taking my pulse? Is there something wrong with my body?"
"Well, that's not the case. It's just that when I felt the Pavilion Master's pulse yesterday, I vaguely felt that it was smooth and flowing... I wanted to confirm my guess again..."
Slippery pulse?
When Yao Jia followed Ming Jue on his free medical consultations, she often heard about what a slippery pulse was.
The pulse is smooth and flowing. The shape of a bead represents the meaning of river dew.
When Yao Jia heard this, her heart skipped a beat, as if something had gently touched her. She felt both surprised and happy.
I looked at Gu Xiyan unconsciously and found that he was also staring at me, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, including anticipation and nervousness.
"Slippery pulse...you mean..." Yao Jia's voice trembled slightly, and she could hardly believe her ears.
Xu Yanlou nodded gently, with a certainty in his tone: "Yes, Pavilion Master, according to the pulse, you are very likely pregnant, but it is still early, so you need to be careful with your body."
