Chapter 90 p1: Giving You a Sugar Figurine

“I’ll be fine in a moment.”

This was one of the only two complete sentences Xi Congshuang had said tonight. Before the two people by the bed could reply, the pale-faced person had grabbed a handkerchief from somewhere and had covered her lips.

In an instant, the color had stained the handkerchief red, and it had been casually folded and held by Xi Congshuang.

But Xun Suihuang had already seen clearly what was in her hand. It was blood, dark red blood.

Xi Congshuang said in a low voice, “I have been rude.”

Perhaps the words outside that she was covered in poison were not wrong. Her blood was also poisonous.

Hongdou brought tea. From the first few times of panic, she had now learned how to serve tea at the right time for her to rinse her mouth.

It was also as if she were possessed. Xun Suihuang just stood on the side and watched her actions, not leaving with the momentum.

She felt that Xi Congshuang had something to say to her.

This thought came up, and Xun Suihuang herself found it amusing. She didn’t think that Xi Congshuang had anything to say to her.

She shouldn’t have come in just now. Turning her head and leaving was her usual practice.

She turned to leave, but who knew that she was a step too late? The voice from the bed called out to her.

“Commander Xun has come so late, and you’re leaving directly without even having a cup of tea. Wouldn’t that make me seem inhospitable?” Xi Congshuang’s voice was weak, but it still contained a hint of a smile.

Xun Suihuang did not turn her head and just wanted to say that it was not necessary.

Her smoky-gray eyes stared at her back, and she slowly added, “Or does Commander Xun think that I will poison the tea and dare not drink my tea?”

A simple and pure goading method. Xun Suihuang was really curious. What on earth did she want to say? She pointed outside with her hand. “Do you still know where this is?”

Xi Congshuang was calm. “The general’s residence.”

Xun Suihuang: “It seems you haven’t been sick to the point of confusion.”

Xi Congshuang heard that she had relented and turned to instruct Hongdou to make tea. Hongdou was not very willing, so she had no choice but to say, “I’m not at the point where I can’t move yet. Go on.”

Since she had said so, Hongdou had no choice but to go reluctantly.

Xun Suihuang was led to the main house to sit down and watch Hongdou reluctantly make tea.

Her expression completely betrayed her feelings. Her heart was still in the inner room, and her eyes kept looking in, but her hands did not slacken in the slightest, which made her find it interesting.

Speaking of which, she was about the same age as Hongdou when she had gone to the battlefield, both fifteen years old.

Later, at the age of seventeen, she had inherited the title. Now she was not yet thirty. Rounding up, she had been in the military for half her life… as she thought this, a chill ran down Xun Suihuang’s spine.

Could it be that she has reached the point where she finds it interesting to watch a child throw a tantrum?

Hongdou looked at Xun Suihuang strangely, turned her head to look outside, and the night was deep. It was colder than during the day, but not so cold that she had to rub her arms.

She carried a teacup to Xun Suihuang, put down the steaming tea, and said, “Please enjoy. It was made in front of you.”

Xun Suihuang reached out to touch the teacup. Hearing this, she wanted to laugh again. “Just because it was made in front of me, it can’t be poisoned? Aren’t you people from the Yihao Hall all masters of poison, killing people without a trace?”

Hongdou was stunned and explained angrily, “I didn’t. If you don’t believe me, I’ll drink it for you on the spot.”

But Xun Suihuang did not let her touch the teacup. “What if you’re tricking me, and this cup is not poisoned?”

“…” For the first time, Hongdou regretted not studying well back then. “Then I’ll drink from this pot, okay?”

Xun Suihuang had many reasons. “Not credible. Who knows if you’ve wiped it on the rim of my cup?”

Hongdou: “This is not okay, and that is not okay. What else do you want?”

If she had to do it all over again, she would definitely not want to sleep when she saw the sect master’s notes. She would have to hang her head from the beam and stab her thigh with an awl to memorize it completely and practice the skill of poisoning and killing people without a trace.

She wouldn’t have to be told by Xun Suihuang like today, unable to explain herself even if she had a hundred mouths.

Xun Suihuang: “You’re speaking so loudly. If your sect master hears you later, she’ll have to teach you a good lesson.”

Hongdou subconsciously covered her mouth with both hands, and Xun Suihuang slapped her thigh and laughed out loud.

“Hongdou’s personality is straightforward and serious. Don’t tease her.” A slender figure came out from behind the door, in a green robe, her figure thin.

Xun Suihuang turned to look. She hadn’t expected this Sect Master Xi to have taken the time to tie up her hair, the wooden hairpin holding her black hair elegant.

Hongdou was as if she had been granted amnesty and quickly went over to complain. “She insisted that I had poisoned her! I didn’t poison her!”

Xi Congshuang: “I’ll be your witness. You can pour me a cup of tea too.”

Hongdou immediately went. As if on cue, Xi Congshuang sat down, and she placed the hot tea by her hand.

Xi Congshuang drank it in front of the two of them. She smiled and looked at Xun Suihuang. “Is the general at ease?”

“I’m not uneasy.” Xun Suihuang drank the tea in her cup in one gulp. The way she drank like a water buffalo shocked Hongdou for a long while. She felt a little sorry for the sect master’s good tea.

Xi Congshuang’s expression did not change even though her good tea had been wasted by someone. She even asked if she wanted another cup.

She was refused by Xun Suihuang with a wave of her hand. She still had to sleep tonight. “I haven’t seen you for a while. You’re quite at ease, and you’ve prepared everything.”

It didn’t look like a temporary stay, but like setting up a home.

She had been in a hurry when she had just entered the door and hadn’t seen clearly. Now that she saw the surrounding situation clearly, her Feihong Courtyard was a world of difference compared to this nameless small courtyard.

It wasn’t that she didn’t have luxurious things, but she wasn’t in the mood. The place she lived in was so empty that you could race horses. The place with the most things was her study, which was full of military books.

But she didn’t read them. Those were all left to her by the old Marquis Pingding.

Xi Congshuang said faintly, “It’s not complete. It’s all daily necessities.”

Xun Suihuang: “…”

So she’s a person with so much money that she has nowhere to spend it.

Then they were both silent. Xi Congshuang drank her tea quietly, and the bored Xun Suihuang picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea.

The two of them were separated by an eight-immortal table, drinking from the same pot of tea, and watching Hongdou busy herself in the courtyard.

The small figure was very busy. She extinguished the stove fire, picked it up and put it aside, took a broom from behind the door to sweep away the coal cinders and firewood, and then she was attracted by the fireflies on the side, threw away the broom, and ran.

At first, Xun Suihuang didn’t understand why she had thrown away the broom. Was it because she was afraid of insects and had gone in to complain to Xi Congshuang?

Soon she knew that she had been wrong. Hongdou’s anxiety just now was not fear, but excitement. She had taken an empty glass bottle from the room to catch fireflies.

A glass bottle that could be worth a thousand taels of gold in a pawnshop, she had just used it to catch fireflies. Xi Congshuang was still slowly drinking tea, which made Xun Suihuang feel a little pained.

It wasn’t that she felt sorry for the money, but that she had done this before and had been beaten.

That glass bottle was even an imperial gift. She had used it to catch cicadas. After she was discovered, she had almost been hung up and beaten by the old Marquis Pingding.

Xun Suihuang no longer looked at the little girl who was running around in the courtyard and turned to look at Xi Congshuang. “The tea is finished. Haven’t you finished your draft yet?”

Xi Congshuang seemed to have just come to her senses. Her eyes were dazed for a moment, and she was pulled out of some state. “What draft?”

Xun Suihuang couldn’t understand. “Don’t tell me that you kept me just to have a cup of tea with me.”

The words she had thought of were said in advance. She hummed in acknowledgment in front of Xun Suihuang.

Xun Suihuang: “?” Hmm? What on earth is she humming about?

“You don’t believe me?” Xi Congshuang curled her lips into a smile. “Then let me put it another way. How about abandoning the dark and turning to the light?”

Xun Suihuang found this saying very strange. One day she could also be considered bright.

Xi Congshuang: “Prince Xin poisoned me. He’s a heartless person. It’s too late for me to regret it now, and I don’t want him to ascend the throne so smoothly.”

Xun Suihuang also did not feel that it was very rebellious for a commoner to talk about the throne. She said casually, “There’s also Prince Wu. Prince Qin is crippled and probably can’t take it. At worst, you can just pick an underage prince. His mother is still alive, and there are also those whose mothers are not.”

Xi Congshuang’s gaze was deep. “Can I choose you?”

Xun Suihuang looked at her with a complicated gaze. She had never seen such a reckless person. “You’re being overly attentive for no reason. I say no. Go back to your Yongdu after you’ve recovered.”

Xi Congshuang’s gaze followed her movements.

Xun Suihuang stood up, as if with good intentions. “I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear what you said tonight. You’d better go back before Prince Xin gets suspicious… I forgot. Your purpose is not limited to the peace treaty.”

Xi Congshuang: “I can’t go back.”

Xun Suihuang seemed not to understand. “What?”

Xi Congshuang’s plain hand held the teacup. “Why does Commander Xun have to ask this? Prince Xin has never been a person who trusts others. Once I enter the general’s residence, I can’t go back.”

Xun Suihuang didn’t understand. “If you can’t go back, then go back to your Bingzhou. Take your Hongdou and leave quickly.”

Hongdou, who was running around the courtyard with a bottle, heard the sound and turned her head. “So you know my name is Hongdou. You did it on purpose.”

This time, Xun Suihuang was not in the mood to joke with Hongdou and strode out of the door.

The dark blue figure was swallowed by the night. Xi Congshuang still sat upright in the main hall, her brow slightly furrowed, as if there was something she couldn’t figure out.

Not long after, Hongdou came in with a glass bottle full of fireflies and showed off her achievements to Xi Congshuang.

“Sect Master, look. I didn’t expect there to be fireflies in such a cold day… what are you thinking about, Sect Master?” Hongdou covered the mouth of the bottle and stood on the side obediently.

Xi Congshuang hadn’t figured it out yet. She shook her head and slowly stood up to walk to the inner room.

Behind her was a closely following Hongdou.

She thought, “Xun Suihuang has no rebellious intentions.”

Is it that the time has not yet come, or is she hiding it well, or… has she never thought of it?

“Xun Suihuang, will she be a person who is forced to do something?”
