"This lowly general doesn't know anything." Yang Junda was also a smart person.
He should not have known. From this moment on, he would have forgotten.
Seeing him like that, Yuwen Xiao felt even more bored, "You may leave."
Yang Junda accepted the order and left. He stepped out of the tent and heaved a sigh of relief.
The general was perfectly fine, why did he suddenly think of teasing him?
Although the general did not have a good temper, he was rarely as temperamental as he was today.
He was laughing and angry at the same time, and it seemed a little unusual.
But what was wrong?
Yang Junda thought for a long time, but felt that his brain was tangled up, and was unable to think of anything for a long time.
On the other hand, Yuwen Xiao who was in the tent, after sitting for a while, felt annoyed and irritated in his heart. What was going on?
His mind was filled with Xiao Ruyue's image.
He shook his head and walked out of the tent, unable to get rid of the images that filled his head. They headed straight for Yuwen He and the others' tents.
When Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue returned, they heard the guard at the door say, "Your Majesty, Empress, the Great General just came to look for you two. This subordinate said that Your Majesty and the Empress are not here, so the Great General did not believe me and insisted on barging in. Your subordinate cannot stop the great general from begging for punishment! "
Xiao Ruyue and Yuwen He looked at each other.
Yuwen He frowned, and did not say a word.
The two guards knelt on the ground, shivering.
Xiao Ruyue shook his head at Yuwen He, he extended her hand and rubbed Xiao Ruyue's head, and said: "Yin Lin, Lu Yi, accompany the Empress."
Xiao Ruyue understood his meaning, but it was not good to refute his decision in front of others, so she went in first.
Lu Yi carefully looked around the tent. She carefully checked what she had brought, afraid that she would be missing something.
Xiao Ruyue did not question her method. Although the great general was rude, she was not someone who would take advantage of Master's absence to barge into someone's room. Furthermore, the tent was used by her and Yuwen He.
She would not believe that the general had acted out a charade for no reason at all and had no other motive.
Yin Lin helped to count them.
After a long while, Lu Yi turned her head to look at Xiao Ruyue and shook her head, "Empress, it seems like there is nothing missing. "There's nothing extra that I shouldn't have either."
Xiao Ruyue frowned slightly, but she felt that something was amiss.
Yuwen He walked in at this time and sat down beside Xiao Ruyue, "What, is there anything abnormal about this place?"
Xiao Ruyue shook her head, but just as she was about to say something, she heard Lu Yi scream: "She's gone!"
"Empress, she's gone!" Lu Yi turned pale with fright, as if something extremely terrifying had happened.
"What's missing?" Xiao Ruyue was confused, "Don't be in such a hurry, speak slowly."
"This morning, after His Majesty left, Mr. Tang sent a bottle over, saying that it was for the Empress. Your servant saw that you hadn't woken up yet, so she placed it on top of the cupboard. "When you accompanied the Empress out, the Empress didn't take it, right?"
She looked at Xiao Ruyue with anticipation.
"Nope." Xiao Ruyue shook her head and asked again, "That bottle, did it have a drawing on it, making it look cute and small?"
"Yes, yes, that one."
"When I went out, the bottle was still on the cabinet. I didn't take it. " As Xiao Ruyue said that, sher eyes turned as she looked at Lu Yi and asked, "When Mr. Tang took the bottle over, did he say whether it was an important object?"
"Mr. Tang said that when the Empress saw the contents of the bottle with her own eyes, she knew. I was even told not to peep, saying that if I peeped, I would take responsibility for my own actions. " "Mr. Tang is right, how would I dare to look?"
Was it really what she wanted?
There were a lot of things in the tent, except that the black bamboo bottle on the bedside table was missing. And this morning, only Yuwen Xiao had come by, the thing could only have been taken by him, there was no one else.
Thinking about it, Xiao Ruyue's face darkened.
"What is it?" Yuwen He noticed that Xiao Ruyue's expression was not good and asked gently.
Xiao Ruyue slightly raised her voice, "If that thing was truly taken away by the Great General, it wouldn't even take an hour before there is news of it."
"Oh?" Yuwen He seemed to be able to hear the hidden meaning behind her words.
Xiao Ruyue looked him in the eye, and smiled, "Other than me, it has taken master over that thing. No matter who took it, the result was the same. "
Yuwen Xiao, oh Great General, you, a great general, actually fell to the extent of stealing things in my tent.
If you really took away that black bamboo bottle, the consequences would be severe and you can't be blamed on the others.
You even dare to touch my pet.
I will just sit here and watch the show.
An hour later, Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue were having their meal when Yang Junda came over in a panic, asking Yuwen He to leave. "Your Majesty, Empress, something bad has happened.
Xiao Ruyue glanced at Yuwen He and understood what she meant.
"Let's go take a look." You can talk while you walk. " Yuwen He said as he helped Xiao Ruyue stand up.
Yang Junda whispered about Yuwen Xiao's situation along the way.
According to him, Yuwen Xiao was in the tent at the time of his illness.
At that time, the Fire Legion had already prepared lunch and sent it over. The general had only taken two bites before he suddenly fell. The first thing he did was to detain the man who had delivered the food and call the military doctor to see if there was any poison in the food. Even the military doctor had examined the utensils, including the bowl, chopsticks, spoon, and other utensils one by one. There was no poison on the utensils either. The man who delivered the food was an old man who had been in the army for many years. It was even more impossible for him to be a servant.
The general was unable to find any illness or signs of poison, but even so, the military doctor tried pinching the body and acupuncture was useless.
When they reached the general's tent, Yuwen Xiao was lying on his bed, unconscious, and his face looked bad. There were already two military doctors in the tent.
However, due to the sudden illness of the Great General, this matter was of great importance. Therefore, it was a secret.
Thus, other than Yuwen Xiao, the other two people in the tent were now Yang Junda and Xiao Ruyue.
There was no one else.
On the table, there was even a few mouthfuls of lunch. From the looks of it, the situation was similar to what Yang Junda had said.
Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue both looked at Yuwen Xiao's situation from the distance. Xiao Ruyue looked at him and roughly guessed what he was about to say. She glanced at Yuwen He, and Yuwen He understood what she meant, he turned and coldly asked: "The great general was still well early, and it has only been two hours since we last met, how did he become like this?"
A certain Lord's face was expressionless, full of deterrence.
The two military doctors quickly kneeled down and said in unison, "Your Majesty, the general's illness is strange. Previously, without any warning, he suddenly became ill just like that. This old one's medical skills are lacking, I can't tell what kind of illness he is suffering from! "
"As military doctors, you can't even tell what the Grand General's illness is, what else do you need to do? "Scram!"
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. These two military doctors are already the best in the army." The Great General, he is still … Yang Junda quickly tried to dissuade him.
Only then did Yuwen He's expression relax slightly, and he instructed Yang Junda: From now on, no one is allowed to walk around the general's tent casually, and arrange reliable guards. Other than the person in charge of delivering the tea, no one else is allowed to come near! At a time of war, this must be kept a secret. "If anyone here today divulges any secrets, I will kill them all!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Junda and the two military doctors shouted at the same time.
The power behind the words "kill without mercy" was as heavy as a mountain.
"The two military doctors, I shall leave the general to you!" No matter what, you must find a way to treat him! " Yuwen He ordered, it was unquestionable.
The military doctor replied repeatedly.
Following that, Yuwen He allowed Yang Junda to whisper in his ear as he instructed him, "Arrange for some people to secretly investigate all the people who have come into contact with the great general."
Yang Junda was startled, "Your Majesty suspects that there is a traitor within the camp?!"
Yuwen He coldly acknowledged and could be considered to have responded.
Yang Junda did not dare doubt it, and quickly passed down the orders.
By the time Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue returned to the tent, they had already lost their appetite for food, and their meals had turned cold. He ordered his things to be taken away.
Xiao Ruyue took off her shoes and socks and laid on the bed lazily. Yuwen He then laid down beside her, "What happened to Yuwen Xiao?"
Xiao Ruyue did not reply, instead, she continued, "The small bottle he took away, is filled with your precious insect, right? Could it be that his curiosity caused him to open the bottle and get bitten by your precious worm? "
Xiao Ruyue was startled by these words, but quickly recovered.
Yuwen He's brain was really useful, she didn't even need to say anything, and he saw through everything in one glance.
"You were right." Xiao Ruyue propped herself up and looked down at Yuwen He from above, "Previously, I just wanted to make him suffer a little and teach me a lesson, but who knew, this time it was a coincidence, I can only make him suffer a little."
"You make it sound as if you're reluctant to do so. A narrow-minded woman like you will definitely take revenge." Yuwen He poked her on the forehead and sat up.
Xiao Ruyue stuck out her tongue and spread open her palm. Surprisingly, there was a fat insect curling into a ball of meat in her palm.
"Last night you couldn't stand that jar of poison, didn't I get someone to take it to Tang Jingzhi? When the sun rose, he was unable to resist and sent the little thing back to me. Who would have thought that your younger brother would fall right under your nose. "
Xiao Ruyue sighed with an innocent face, she felt no guilt at all.
Yuwen He pinched her nose, and laughed helplessly: "It is true that he was wrong to take advantage of the situation, but no matter what, he is still a great general. I was even pointing at him to let this battle end quickly. "
Xiao Ruyue clasped her palms, looked at Yuwen He and faintly smiled, "If he was just taking the opportunity to do so, that's fine too. However, I am very clear about the Jade Silkworm Gu's temperament. If that great general did not harass it, he would not be bitten. "
The Jade Silkworm Gu was her protective Gu, an extremely rare and docile Gu, not the kind that would take the initiative to attack people. They would only retaliate to protect themselves when they sensed danger approaching.
If Yuwen Xiao did not have the intention to kill, he would definitely not bring such a disaster upon himself!
