C237 Roaming Bee(2)

When he heard that Xiao Yi Xiu had mentioned the elegant names of the flowers, such as rouge and snow, purple dragon and snow, red sand and frost, jade phoenix, snow and snow, green water and autumn waves … And so on.

The more she listened, the rarer she became. She involuntarily reached out her hand to caress the petals, and a wistful look appeared in her eyes.

Although these flowers were rare and precious, Xiao Yi Xiu did not think much of them. Seeing that Helian Xiangrong's eyes were filled with desire, he said, "Princess likes them, you can choose a few and send them to the inn. However, these flowers are not easy to cultivate, so I'm afraid they will be difficult to grow in when you bring them back to the cold lands of the Northern Chu."

Only then did the light in Helian Xiufeng's eyes recede. He shook his head and said, "The orange flowers of Huai Nan are orange, while the red flowers of Huaibei are red. These flowers cannot be moved back to the Northern Chu."

Xiao Yi was slightly surprised. He didn't expect this domineering and arrogant princess to say such words.

Just as he was about to change his opinion of her, he saw her extend her hand towards him. She ruthlessly grabbed onto that flying chrysanthemum and snapped it off, then gripped the long stalk of the chrysanthemum with her finger. The smile in her eyes was filled with satisfaction, and with an unintentional cruelty, she twisted the stem of the chrysanthemum and brought the dark, enchanting, alluring, light purple flower closer to her face.

Xiao Yi Xiu wasn't happy with her carelessly folding flowers. He indifferently turned around and walked forward, but he didn't see a flapping wasp suddenly shoot out from the yellow stamen in the middle of the flower core.

The flower was only an inch away from Helian Lie's face. Not to mention Xiao Yixiu, even Helian Peng himself, could only see a flash of a bee's shadow. His cheek was in severe pain, and he cried out in pain as he covered his face and curled up his body.

In a flash, Xiao Yi Xiu turned around and saw that the wasp had flapped its wings a few times after it stung Helian Hua and then fell to the ground, spasmodically dead.

The bee, most likely dead immediately after being stung with a tail needle, is no exception.

Helian Shuang groaned as her delicate body trembled unsteadily. In fact, she even fell to the ground, twitching non-stop just like those wasps. The sounds of her cries of pain were incessant and excruciating.

However, Helian Peng's pained voice was too loud. She was a princess who had fought in battles before. If she was so pampered, she wouldn't have been able to mix in with a group of men.

Xiao Yixiu extended his hand to support his face, only after much difficulty did he manage to pull away the hand that Helian Xianfeng was using to cover his face.

Even with his usually calm and composed personality, he was still shaken to the point of letting go. He subconsciously straightened his body and moved away from her.

Half of Helian Peng's face had already swelled up. His red and swollen face was so bright that it seemed as if his skin would split open at any moment.

How could ordinary bees be so vicious? Xiao Yixiu quickly lowered his head to look at the bee that had died from spasms upon landing. He did not dare to use his hands to grab it. He put his hands under his sleeves and used the sleeve cloth to pick it up. He turned it over and over in front of his eyes, and he became more and more surprised.

He was sure that the bees were not of the Central Plains variety, and he had never seen one before in his life. Its body was a jade-like color and it was twice the size of an ordinary bee. Its mouth was long and curved, and there were several stingers on its tail. However, they were clearly broken within Helian Lie's body.

"Suifeng, where did this thing come from?"

The wind saw the sudden change and hurried over. Seeing that the prince's face was like frost, he also looked at the jade colored bee in surprise, not knowing what to do. He had never seen such a large bee in his life. He even thought that this was just another type of poisonous insect that was very similar to a bee.

"Prince, are you sure it's a bee?" Idi asked, puzzled.

Xiao Yi Xiu pursed his lips and didn't say anything. Upon closer inspection, he didn't feel that this was a strange bee. Apart from its body shape and appearance, this insect was actually quite different from a bee. Not to mention the colourful body, the sharp and long mouthpart was not ordinary at all.

Xiao Yi Xiu smiled coldly as he heard someone calling for his master. He turned around and looked back.

It was a good coincidence that Gabriella and Zhou Zhen were together. Like an autumn garden, they were full of interest. Each of them brought their maidservants, wearing a cloak and a hood. They came in a zigzag way.

When he saw a woman lying down among the flowers and mud, he couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

Xiao Yi Xiu had originally thought it was inconvenient for him to hug Helian Peng. He was currently examining her body, ordering Suifeng to summon some people from the front courtyard. Seeing them, it was rather convenient for him to order his two maidservants to carry the twitching and unconscious Helian Lie to the nearest courtyard.

The palace's garden was extremely large, and the closest rooms were coincidentally the three courtyards: Rain Tide Xuan, Rain Tide Xuan, and Rain Mu Xuan.

The other two courtyards had been abandoned for a long time, so naturally they were brought closer to where Zhou Zhen lived, Yu Mu Xuan.

Zhou Zhen's expression was calm and collected as she ordered her daughter to fetch some water and gather the teeth along the way. As she did so, she ordered Little Chan to press down Helian Peng and ease the convulsions by pinching his fingers on people. At the same time, he took out the embroidery silver needle and carefully squeezed the flesh on Helian Peng's cheek, carefully picking out the hook thorns embedded in the flesh.

Upon seeing the long, crescent-shaped hook, Xiao Yi Xiu couldn't help but pay more attention to Zhou Zhen. He felt that she was experienced in handling matters, and her movements were familiar, as if she did this often.

Zhou Zhen didn't even raise her head, as she knew that Xiao Yi Xiu was suspicious of him. She hurriedly replied, "When I was young, my family used to have a beehive garden, and my ancestors lived off the beekeeping of small merchants. Only my father was born as a scholar. After taking the imperial examinations, he was released as an official, and his concubine and his mother maintained the beehive in their hometown for the whole year. This includes the beekeepers in the garden, who are always stung. As time goes on, they become more familiar with this place. "

Zhou Zhen washed the wound with water and used a handkerchief to wrap the juice on Helian Lie's face. Only then did she have the time to look at Xiao Yi Xiu and say, "If Your Highness is worried, why don't you go to the outer room and sit down. Although this wasp is poisonous, it can be treated in time."

Gabriella curiously asked: "This woman's clothes don't look like someone from the capital, where did the guest come from?"

Xiao Yi Xiu paused for a moment. "It's Northern Chu's envoy's sister, Princess Helian."

The words shocked the two madams for a moment.

Zhou Zhen frowned and said, "You should be more careful, I'm afraid you will have to find some jade dew to pass on to me …" Although these medicinal herbs can suppress the poison, if the medicinal properties are to be reduced, leaving a scar or two, it will be disadvantageous for the two countries to interact with each other. "

She then looked at Helian Xianzi's clothes, which had been stained by the dew of autumn frost, and said, "Your highness, it's better for you to stay out of my way. I'll clean up with the princess and change my clothes."

"Yes." In his heart, Xiao Yi Xiu felt that the wasp's arrival was bizarre, but in the end he didn't say anything. He only stood up and left the room, allowing Zhou Zhen and Gabriella to help Helian Shuang change his clothes.

At this time, Suifeng also went to the front courtyard to call people over. Ping Bai interrupted the lively conversation between Helian Yu and Gu Qingli, and the two of them hurried over.

Hearing that he had been stung by a wild bee, Helian Yu didn't pay much attention to him. Even if Xiao Yi Xiu had said that Helian Xiuya was twitching non-stop and was a little muddle-headed, he could only be considered a poisonous wasp. Helian Yu then calmly sat down and spoke to him.

Gu Qingli wanted to help Zhou Zhen deal with his wounds, but when she went in, she saw Helian Xiufeng's face was covered with herbs and a handkerchief. Yunzi and Little Chan were helping her change and clean her clothes quickly.
