I believe, of course I believe.
When has Cui Xiaoqiu ever lied to her?
So this thing can be made quickly!
Yanran felt as if she had opened up a new world.
"Come on, Cui Xiaoqiu, teach me quickly!"
She's going to secretly learn a skill so that she can one day dazzle those who look down on her!
Cui Xiaoqiu readily agreed.
However, as it turns out, what looks easy is actually difficult.
"I finally understand what my mother meant by those words," Yanran said dejectedly, clutching the bell hammer.
Cui Xiaoqiu took the hammer from her hand, handed her a damp towel to wipe her hands, and then gave her a pink peach that looked delicious.
Yanran took a big bite of the peach. "The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs."
Why can't her IQ be on an average level with Cui Xiaoqiu's?
She no longer believed Cui Xiaoqiu's claims of "easy".
It's like he's Lu Zhishen uprooting a willow tree, while I'm just an ant trying to shake a giant tree.
Cui Xiaoqiu couldn't help but chuckle as she listened to her analogy.
"The Crown Princess's Dog Meat is very clever."
Yanran: "What, do you think I'm begging for its attention?"
Cui Xiaoqiu was amused by her, "I mean, there's not much difference between people and dogs. Look at the Crown Princess, she likes Dog Meat more than she likes the Crown Prince."
"Oh, so you mean you like me more than you like anyone else?"
"That's exactly what I feel."
Yanran beaming with joy.
She is still very smart.
"Actually, these instruments are all interconnected. Because I've learned other instruments before, I'm progressing faster. Don't worry."
Yanran felt relieved.
It's not that she's not smart, it's just that she didn't work hard enough before!
Dinner included roasted lamb chops, which Yanran loves. While munching on them, she said, "I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I get sleepy very easily. I'll remind Jinse to ask her if it's some kind of Gu worm causing this!"
Cui Xiaoqiu laughed and said, "No need to ask, she told me that this is how it is. But it's good that you get more sleep, because when you're asleep, the Gu worms will have a hard time controlling you, so I had someone add some calming medicine to your prescription."
"A calming drug? Where should it be added?"
"In the soup."
"Then I'll drink more," Yanran said with a grin. "That way I can sleep a little longer, and you'll have more time to help my brother find the fourth treasure."
Linlin has already sent people to explore the tomb, but so far there has been no progress.
Yanran felt that these smart people should be allowed to study it carefully.
It's such a waste of time to waste it all on myself.
"Okay, I'll go once you're asleep," Cui Xiaoqiu said, going along with her.
After finishing her meal, Yanran went to wash up. Lying on the bed, she yawned and joked with Cui Xiaoqiu, "Luckily, I asked you today and found out there was a calming medicine in the soup. I thought it was a Gu worm that had gotten into my brain. I was terrified and didn't dare tell you because I was afraid you'd worry."
"Don't overthink it." Cui Xiaoqiu gently fanned her to cool her down.
In fact, Jinse didn't know the mechanism of the Gu worm's action.
If it's not addressed promptly, it's entirely possible it will become ingrained in one's mind.
Even now...
After Yanran fell asleep, Cui Xiaoqiu handed the fan to Jiang'er, stood up, and said, "Take good care of the princess."
Jiang'er nodded quickly.
She had always thought Cui Xiaoqiu was clever and kind to the princess, but she never expected him to be so cunning and shrewd.
--It was today that she accidentally discovered that Cui Xiaoqiu had added something to the princess's soup.
She was angry and scared.
She was afraid that if she told the princess, she wouldn't believe her.
Unexpectedly, Cui Xiaoqiu noticed her and said calmly, "Watch your mouth. This is a matter between me and the princess."
After a day of internal struggle, Jiang'er finally decided to "expose" Cui Xiaoqiu and waited until after dinner.
She was restless and angry while serving him.
How could Cui Xiaoqiu speak to the princess with such doting eyes after doing something like that?
What poison was he giving the princess?
What exactly is his purpose?
She wasn't afraid of death; her life had been given to her by the princess, and she wanted to save her!
Amidst her anger, Jiang'er received a calm explanation from Cui Xiaoqiu to the princess.
Surprisingly, the princess wasn't angry at all.
Jiang'er was completely confused.
But she deeply felt that Cui Xiaoqiu was terrifying.
If I hadn't exposed him, he probably wouldn't have told the princess the truth at all.
No, is he telling the truth?
Jiang'er was extremely loyal to Yanran, so even so, she was still uneasy.
