"That's because the spring inside is made of bamboo. If it's replaced with a very thin iron sheet, it can shoot very far!”Yuan Zinuo opened the crossbow and looked at it carefully without raising his head.
"It's not easy to get an elastic and thin iron sheet!”The man continued to ask other questions." Also, how can we improve its accuracy?”
"This kind of repeating crossbow is not aiming for accuracy, but speed, so there's no need to worry too much about this problem!”Yuan Zinuo finally raised her head and realized that the person standing beside her was a young man. He was about twenty years old and had fair and clean features. He was currently staring at her with admiration.
"Not bad, Young Lady is very knowledgeable!" The man couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl could study such a weapon so well.
"You're a true expert if you can build it according to the blueprint. I'm just showing off in front of an expert!”Since Ouyang Xu could get these people to participate in such a confidential matter, they must be experts in various fields that Ouyang Xu trusted. If she guessed correctly, these people were the elites of various industries selected from the three "World's Best" conferences.
"The person who designed these blueprints is a true expert. It's just that I didn't have the chance to meet him.”The man sighed lightly. He held the blueprints, his eyes filled with admiration for the designer.
"If there's a chance, I can introduce you to each other!”This person was obviously a weapon fanatic. He believed that he would be able to talk to Jie Ye.
"Really? Miss, do you know the designer of these blueprints?”The man was unusually excited, and his face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
"I know, but I can't tell you for the time being. I'll wait for the opportunity in the future!”Thinking about how Lin Jieye had left that day and never returned, Yuan Zinuo felt very uncertain. She didn't know if Lin Jieye would ignore her again.
After that, he looked at the other weapons. Yuan Zinuo pointed out some problems and gave some good suggestions before leaving the courtyard with Ouyang Xu.
Because the wedding date was brought forward, Ouyang Xu was very busy, but he would still come to have dinner with her every day. Occasionally, Murong Shanshan would come over to chat with her. Her days were considered carefree, but everything ended on the day of Nangong Zijuan's wedding.
The wedding of the Nangong Family's daughter was a major event in the Saint Capital. All the influential people wanted to use this platform to make friends with the powerful. As a result, the number of people attending far exceeded the Nangong Family's expectations. However, this was a happy occasion, so there was no reason to reject those who sent gifts and congratulations. Therefore, the Great Sima Manor was suddenly crowded.
Originally, Ouyang Xu didn't allow Yuan Zinuo to participate in this kind of scene. After all, there were many people. She was now a double body. If someone who didn't have eyes bumped into her, the consequences would be unimaginable. Of course, Ouyang Xu was thinking too much. Yuan Zinuo was only here to accompany Nangong Zijuan. She had been staying in the boudoir with Nangong Zijuan and had no chance to be bumped into by others.
"Zijuan, you look so beautiful today!" The two of them had just walked into Nangong Zijuan's room when Murong Shanshan looked at the well-dressed Nangong Zijuan. She was wearing a red wedding dress embroidered with golden phoenixes with wings and a phoenix crown on her head. She couldn't help but praise her.
Yuan Zinuo really didn't think it was so beautiful. It was clearly a delicate little face, but it had been painted into a colorful plate. So she walked to Nangong Zijuan's side," I'll draw it for you again. This isn't beautiful at all. When the time comes, you'll scare the groom until he can't get it up. Your happiness in this life will be over!"”
The moment Yuan Zinuo said this, Madam Nangong's head was filled with black lines. Due to her identity, it was not appropriate to reprimand her, so she could only turn around with a sour face and prepare other things.
After a while, the makeup was done. Madam Nangong finally understood why Yuan Zinuo had said that. The makeup before was beautiful, but it was too thick. It looked good from afar, but it was indeed a little scary up close. On the night of the wedding night, the groom looked at the bride up close. The previous makeup looked even more exaggerated under the candlelight. Now, the makeup was natural and refreshing, and it was much more beautiful. Hence, he nodded in relief." Miss Qi Yun's makeup is indeed beautiful!”
"Yeah, the groom will only like this makeup when he sees it!”As the saying goes, the person who stays with vermilion is red, the person who stays with ink is black. Murong Shanshan and Yuan Zinuo had been together for a long time and had learned to be bolder.
Nangong Zijuan looked at herself in the mirror. She was completely different from before. She lowered her head shyly." Thank you, Xiao Nuo!”。
"Alright, alright, the auspicious time has arrived. The groom has come to pick up the bride!”The matchmaker walked in with a smile on her face. Madam Nangong quickly covered Nangong Zijuan with a veil.
After that, the matchmaker carried Nangong Zijuan out of the Great Sima's residence. Shangguan Yi stood in front of the bridal sedan chair in a bright red wedding dress, looking handsome and in high spirits.
Shangguan Yi stepped forward to help Nangong Zijuan up. The matchmaker had just put her down when Nangong Zijuan collapsed weakly.
"Xiaojuan?" Shangguan Yi couldn't care less. She pulled off her veil and saw Nangong Zijuan's face was black and blue, and her eyes were closed." Xiaojuan, what's wrong?"”
"Zijuan?" The others all cried out in alarm, especially Madam Nangong and Nangong Yong. They rushed to Nangong Zijuan's side and cried out in fear. The other members of the Nangong family squeezed in front of her and stared at her worriedly.
Yuan Zinuo and Murong Shanshan also came to Nangong Zijuan's side and looked worriedly at the person lying in Shangguan Yi's arms.
"Quick, let me see!" An old man squeezed his way to the front of the crowd and pinched Nangong Zijuan's pulse. Suddenly, he frowned." Not good! The princess is poisoned!"”The old man looked at Nangong Zijuan's face and took out a silver needle to test it on her neck. The silver needle immediately turned black." This poison seeped into her face and is extremely domineering. I don't know what poison it is!"”
"Penetration into the face?" Madam Nangong pondered for a moment and turned to look at Yuan Zinuo." It was you, it was you who poisoned her!”Madam Nangong was unusually indignant. She stood up and grabbed Yuan Zinuo.
Murong Shanshan immediately stood in front of Yuan Zinuo," Madam Nangong, Xiao Nuo would not harm Zijuan. Don't misunderstand!"”
"Who else could it be? She was the one who said that she wanted to do Zijuan's makeup. She must have poisoned Zijuan when she was doing her makeup!”Madam Nangong was also extremely anxious. She could only think that Yuan Zinuo had done Nangong Zijuan's makeup so that she had the chance to poison her.
Yuan Zinuo felt that there was a conspiracy. Someone was definitely targeting her on purpose, so she calmed down." Madam Nangong, why do you think I wanted to harm Zijuan?”
"You, how would I know why you want to harm Zijuan? Give Zijuan back to me!”Madam Nangong completely lost her mind and pounced towards Yuan Zinuo.
Li Ming and Chu Xiao flashed in front of Yuan Zinuo and protected her. At this moment, Shangguan Yi picked up Nangong Zijuan and prepared to leave.
"Madam Nangong, the most important thing now is to quickly save Zijuan, not make wild guesses!”Yuan Zinuo saw that Nangong Zijuan's breath was getting weaker and weaker. She stared at Shangguan Yi anxiously," Go to Qi Yun's house and find my father!"”
Shangguan Yi was also anxious because his lover had suddenly been poisoned. Years of military life had trained him to be calm. At this moment, he was also panicking. Hearing Yuan Zinuo's words, he immediately picked up Nangong Zijuan and disappeared into the crowd.
Nangong Yong had been coldly watching the development of the situation. He was not an ignorant woman like Madam Nangong and would not be deceived by appearances. This matter was clearly someone deliberately framing Yuan Zinuo. However, Yuan Zinuo's calmness also surprised him. Such a woman was both respectable and terrifying. Perhaps he should reconsider his position.
Yuan Zinuo then returned to Qi Yun's house. Murong Shanshan and a few men from the Nangong family followed her to Qi Yun's house.
Qi Yunru was examining Nangong Zijuan when she saw Yuan Zinuo and the others enter. She put down Nangong Zijuan's hand and said," She has been poisoned by Wuyan. This poison is extremely vicious. Even if the poison is cured, the person's face will be completely destroyed!”Everyone knew how important a woman's appearance was, especially for a beautiful woman like Nangong Zijuan. Losing her appearance was not an easy thing to accept. The person who poisoned her was too vicious.
"As long as we can save Xiao Juan, nothing else is important!”Shangguan Yi was sitting by the bed, holding Nangong Zijuan's hand. Her panic had disappeared, and she was staring at the person on the bed quietly. Nangong Zijuan's face was pale and black. She looked scary, but he seemed to be admiring the most beautiful scenery. His black eyes were full of love and indulgence.
"I can't cure this poison either. I can only temporarily save her life!”Qi Yunru looked at Shangguan Yi with admiration." Lingxi from Mystic Medicine Valley should be able to save her!”
"I'll immediately send someone to invite Lingxi!" Yuan Zinuo immediately took out the token from Mystic Medicine Valley and handed it to Liming." Liming, take it to Mystic Medicine Valley and tell Lingxi that I'm waiting for him here to save me!"”
"Yes, sir!" Li Ming took the token and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you!”A young man in his twenties stood out. He had a square face and eagle-like eyes. His tall and burly figure was very eye-catching in the crowd.
"Mhm, bring the eight guards with you!”Nangong Yong understood his son's concerns. This matter was deliberately arranged by someone. If Li Ming went alone, he might be intercepted halfway.
Yuan Zinuo also understood the man's concerns and couldn't help but glance at him.
"Thank you for your help, Imperial Preceptor. I'll have to trouble you with my daughter's safety. I'll investigate this matter thoroughly now!”After today's incident, Nangong Yong's prejudice against Yuan Zinuo lessened a little. After all, Qi Yunru had saved his daughter's life. The people from Mystic Medicine Valley weren't people that ordinary people could invite, so he owed them this favor.
"Yes!" Qi Yunru had always been stern with outsiders and did not like to spend time with others. She only nodded.
Nangong Yong left behind a son and a few guards to protect Nangong Zijuan, and also sent a dozen maids to take care of Nangong Zijuan's food and daily life. It was as if he was preparing for a protracted war.
Shangguan Yi stayed by the bed and took good care of her. She also told Nangong Zijuan about their childhood from time to time. She was affectionate and gentle.
Yuan Zinuo saw this and was touched. In order not to disturb the two of them, she returned to Phoenix Return Restaurant.
"Xiao Nuo!" Ouyang Xu was already waiting at the Phoenix Return Restaurant. It was not appropriate for him to step forward regarding Nangong Zijuan's matter, so he could only sit here and wait. When he saw Yuan Zinuo return, he went forward and hugged her waist." Are you tired?"”
Yuan Zinuo shook her head and snuggled into Ouyang Xu's embrace." Who could have done it?”
"I don't know for now. The shadow I sent to protect you found that Nangong Zijuan's cosmetic powder was indeed poisoned, but I don't know who did it. However, the person who could exchange her cosmetic powder box is most likely someone close to her. Nangong Yong will investigate!”Gently caressing Yuan Zinuo's black hair, Ouyang Xu undid her cloak." You must be tired today. Rest first!"”
"I'm hungry. I want to eat something!" Yuan Zinuo pouted coquettishly. She raised her small head and blinked her big eyes." I want to eat what you made!”
Ouyang Xu smiled dotingly. You rest first, I'll do it. I'll call you when it's done!”
