Chapter 175 The flowers and plants in the Wutong courtyard are full of stink bugs
What a coincidence.
It turned out that she and Xiaokai were cousins, and she even saved him.
However, she couldn't tell Xiao Kai about this matter until she got confirmation.
So, she was silent for a few seconds, with a serious look in her eyes, and then she said softly but seriously: "Xiao Kai, this jade pendant is very important to you, you must keep it well. Believe me, it will play a huge role at a critical moment in the future."
After hearing this, Xiao Kai nodded sensibly, looked at his sister with firm eyes, and responded, "Sister, I understand." His voice was filled with trust in his sister.
Jiang Yimo looked at him deeply and continued, "Xiao Kai, my name is Jiang Yimo, you can call me Sister Jiang or Sister Mo from now on."
After saying this, Xiao Kai looked a little embarrassed. Then, he raised his hand and scratched his hair uncomfortably, and whispered, "Okay, then I will call you Sister Jiang from now on. I have been calling you Sister before because I always feel like you are my biological sister."
After hearing this, Jiang Yimo was stunned for a few seconds, then she immediately changed the subject, her tone full of concern and heartache.
"Xiao Kai, come with me into the house. Let me help you check your wounds and see how you are recovering."
As she spoke, she led Xiao Kai into the room. Xiao Kai followed Jiang Yimo silently, feeling warm in his heart.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Yimo carefully checked Xiaokai's injuries, and then slowly walked back to Wutong Courtyard from the small courtyard where he lived. Her steps seemed a little heavy, as if she was carrying the weight of the whole world.
The moment she stepped into Wutong Courtyard, the scene before her made her mood instantly cheerful.
The flowers in the garden are in full bloom, and the colorful colors are like a poem and a painting. The breeze gently touches her face, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, which is an intoxicating breath.
However, behind this beautiful scene of flowers, there was a hint of depression in her heart.
She knew that this Wutong Courtyard was the courtyard where Feng Wuhen's future princess would live. Every time she walked in here, she would feel an indescribable emotion.
She had wanted to move out of the yard many times and find a quiet corner of her own, but Feng Wuhen always disagreed, and his insistence made her feel helpless and confused.
He even said that if she didn't want to live in this Wutong Courtyard, he would tear down the yard and flatten the beautiful flowers and plants.
Jiang Yimo's heart is very conflicted. She is grateful for Feng Wuhen's care and concern for her, and gradually understands his feelings for her. But what she, Jiang Yimo, wants is to be with one person for the rest of her life. However, Feng Wuhen is a prince. In the future, even if he insists on having only her as a woman, the emperor, empress, queen mother and those ministers will force him to take a concubine. Will he be able to withstand the pressure from all sides then?
Therefore, she often silently asks herself whether she should continue to stay here or bravely pursue her inner desire. In this beautiful and complex Wutong Courtyard, how will she find her own answer?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yimo shook her head helplessly, her heart full of melancholy, and was about to walk back to her room through her carefully tended little garden.
However, just as she raised her foot, Qingzhu's scream broke the silence, and her steps came to an abrupt stop.
Qingzhu's face was pale, her eyes were full of fear and astonishment, and her screams revealed despair.
Just one look at the densely packed insects crawling in the flowers and plants made her hair stand on end.
"Miss! Miss! Please come and take a look!" Qingzhu's voice was trembling with a hint of crying.
She pointed at the garden as if it were a terrible nightmare. "The flowers and plants in our garden are all covered with a lot of black, smelly, big flying insects. What should we do?"
Her words were full of helplessness and anxiety, as if the bugs had taken away her courage and hope.
A trace of uneasiness also surged in Jiang Yimo's heart. She walked quickly towards Qingzhu, her eyes falling on the garden that was originally full of vitality.
At this moment, the flowers in the garden are withering, the green leaves are turning yellow, and those big, black, smelly, flying insects are flying around among the flowers, which is disgusting.
She frowned, her heart full of pain and anger. These insects came from nowhere, but brought such great damage to her beloved garden.
Jiang Yimo bit her lip. She couldn't let these hateful insects destroy this small garden. These flowers and plants were the gifts prepared by Concubine Xian for her future daughter-in-law.
"Don't be afraid, Qingzhu, go and ask the prince to come over." Jiang Yimo's voice was firm and calm. In order to avoid scaring Qingzhu, she deliberately sent Qingzhu away.
Qingzhu didn't think too much about it. After receiving Jiang Yimo's order, he immediately ran to call for help.
After Qingzhu left, Jiang Yimo began to think about how to deal with the situation. She recalled the knowledge about pest control that she had read in books.
She decided to take some natural and gentle methods to keep the pests away without harming the flowers and plants.
But when she looked at the bedbugs in front of her, she felt that they were not ordinary pests.
Jiang Yimo stared at the creatures in front of her. They reminded her of the disgusting bugs she encountered in the inn. A glimmer of sudden enlightenment flashed in her eyes, and she instantly understood what was happening - the poisonous wolf was coming!
At this time, Feng Wuhen and a group of guards also hurried to her Wutong Courtyard. His steps were anxious, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he couldn't wait to ask: "Momo, what happened?"
Jiang Yimo's voice was full of thought as she slowly said, "I think it should be the Poison Wolf that appeared. However, I'm not sure if it is really him."
Having said this, Feng Wuhen also took a closer look at the stink bugs that had landed on the flowers and plants in front of him. These stink bugs were smelly and fishy, and just the slightest smell of that odor could make him nauseous.
Your Majesty, please quickly arrange for some people to get some torches, we must be prepared first."
Jiang Yimo's suggestion shocked him, and he secretly admired her intelligence and decisiveness. He nodded slightly and agreed, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Then, without any hesitation, he turned around and told Shadow to prepare the torches. Shadow left quickly and silently like a ghost, carrying out his master's orders.
"Your Majesty, let's not act rashly today." Jiang Yimo's tone was filled with worry. She looked around, as if she could see the danger hidden in the darkness. She frowned slightly and continued, "We need to wait for the best opportunity and not let the enemy take advantage of us."
