Being held by someone's head, Ban Hua was dizzy again, so she simply put her head on the other side, too lazy to look like a beauty snake without bones.
Some people present couldn't help but secretly took a few more glances.
Rong Xia turned around and blocked Ban Hua behind her, "Be careful that it hurts in your stomach."
Although Ban Hua looks delicate and tender, she has rarely been sick since she was a child. At this moment, the world is spinning and she feels that she is soft and has no strength at all. She doesn't bother to move when Rongxia says anything.
Liu Banshan, who is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, coughed dryly and turned to look at Commander Chen: "Commander Chen, the county master is not feeling well. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for us to disturb him again."
"This..." Commander Chen knew that the Fule County Lord still had some weight in His Majesty's heart, so he didn't dare to really let the County Lord answer his question when he was sick. It was raining and windy last night, and the county lord had blood on his hands again. He was overly frightened and fell ill, but... he was infatuated with the Marquis of Chengan, "Liu Shaoqing is right."
He stood up and said to Ban Hua, "Please rest assured, the county lord, the next official will catch the killer as soon as possible."
Rong Xia patted Ban Hua's back lightly, and said to Commander Chen, "Commander Chen has to work."
"Master Hou's words are serious, this is the duty of a lower official." Seeing the appearance of Rong Xia protecting Ban Hua, Commander Chen had a new sense of Rong Xia. Although he is a military general, because of his duties, he has dealt with many civil servants. Most of these civil servants like to be considerate, gentle and virtuous women, like the master of Fule County who can shoot arrows when mounted on a horse, can punch when dismounted from a horse, and can even lift up when he sees an assassin. The sturdy woman with the sword was always avoided by the civil servants.
Just like what happened last night, if it were spread out, there might be a lot of people talking, and not all of them were good words. No matter how beautiful a woman is, not everyone can accept her murder, even though she is helpless and matters.
As for poor Jing Zhaoyin, he didn't dare to speak from the beginning to the end, and he nodded after what others said. Anyway, anyone here has more power than him, and he can't afford to offend anyone.
Hearing that Commander Chen said not to ask Fule County Master, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, wishing to stand up from his chair immediately and ask Cheng Anhou and Fule County Master to resign. However, before he could get up, he saw a young man dressed in white gauze trotting in.
Ouch, isn't this the heir of the famous playboy in the capital, the Prince of Jingting
"Sister!" After Ban Heng heard that the Marquis of Cheng'an was intruded by the killer, he rushed over immediately, and even couldn't wait for the report, he directly broke into the gate of Rong's house. The servants of the Rong family didn't dare to stop him. How could he be Lord Hou's future brother-in-law and Mrs. Hou's brother in the future, who would dare to offend him
Seeing his sister leaning on Rong Xia weakly, Ban Heng was so anxious that he almost jumped up three feet high: "Sister, what's wrong with you, are you injured? Where is the injury? Did you ask a doctor?"
Ban Hua felt a buzzing sound in her ears, she turned her head to see Ban Heng's anxious appearance, she couldn't help wanting to laugh, but she shook her head, and the world was spinning again.
"Ban, the county master suffered from the cold yesterday and was not injured. I have already sent someone to ask for a doctor." Rong Xia knew that the Ban family and siblings were in a good relationship, so she was not offended by Ban Heng's impetuous behavior, "You first Please sit down."
"My sister looks like this, how can I sit still," Ban Heng walked around Ban Hua, "she has been strong like a cow since she was a child, and rarely gets sick. But as long as she gets sick, she will be punished by the boss. "
"You are the cow..."
Although he is already ill, he still has to maintain his beautiful image. Ban Hua's forehead rubbed against Rong Xia's waist and abdomen, and hummed, "Don't shake, I'm dizzy."
Ban Heng immediately stopped, reached out and touched Ban Hua's forehead, it was really hot. He glared at Rong Xia, wanting to blame him for not taking good care of Ban Hua, but thinking that there were outsiders present, he swallowed the words again.
It is one of the principles of the family members of the class to solve the family affairs at home, and never let outsiders watch the fun.
Seeing Prince Ban's worried appearance, it's not okay for a few adults to leave or stay. Let's go, in case they are misunderstood that they don't care about the body of the county lord, it will not be beautiful. But if they stay, the county master is a woman, and it is not appropriate for them to stay here.
Fortunately, Marquis Rong was very considerate. Seeing that they were embarrassed, he said, "I almost forgot, if you, lords, want to know more about the killer, you can ask some of my guards. Injured, I am recovering in the house, if a few adults don't mind, you can ask them."
"Then the servants of Laogui's house will lead the way." Commander Chen agreed immediately.
After leaving the main courtyard, Jing Zhaoyi couldn't help but sigh: "Fu Le County Master, really a hero among women."
Liu Banshan smiled and said, "Exactly."
Commander Chen didn't have much dealings with these two civil servants, he just nodded stiffly and said nothing.
Liu Banshan glanced at the taciturn Commander Chen, his expression remained unchanged, his eyes turned and he landed on the courtyard wall. There was a string of bloodstains on the wall tiles. After a few hours, and after being washed by the rain, the bloodstain was not very bright in color, and it looked like a string of dirty muddy water was printed on it.
It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to arrive, and he took a pulse for Ban Hua, "Please rest assured, Lord Hou and Shizi, the county master just suffered from the cold, take medicine on time, and rest for a few days, and then you will be cured. But..." He was careful Glancing at Ban Heng's face, "The county master suffered from the cold and was also frightened. Before he recovers, it is not appropriate to move or blow air."
Although Ban Heng was reluctant to let Ban Hua live in Rong's house, he could distinguish the priorities of the matter, nodded sullenly, and said nothing against it.
"Is there any taboo on eating?" Rong Xia knew Ban Hua's picky eaters, glanced at her drowsy lying on the bed, reached out and probed her forehead, which was still terrifyingly hot.
"Old and greasy things can't be used for the time being," the imperial doctor stroked his gray beard. "And spicy and cold things are also not allowed to be eaten."
"Thank you imperial doctor, I'll take it down." Rong Xia took the handkerchief that the maid had twisted and put it lightly on Ban Yan's forehead. In a daze, Ban Hua seemed to feel that there was something on his head, and wanted to shake it off.
Rong Xia hurriedly held down the handkerchief with one hand and patted the quilt with the other, coaxing Ban Hua into a deep sleep like a child.
Ban Heng noticed his action, turned his head and said, "I'll go back and bring over the servants who are often used by my sister. I'm going to harass the Houye's mansion for a few days these days. Wouldn't the Houye mind?"
"Welcome."
He looked at Ban Hua who was sleeping and didn't dare to be unwelcome.
After Ban Heng left, the medicine was ready soon, Rong Xia woke Ban Yan, took the medicine bowl brought by the maid, scooped it up with a spoon and handed it to Ban Yan's lips.
Ban Hua, who had not recovered his senses yet, looked at the dark concoction, his stomach churned for a while, and he almost vomited it out. Seeing that her expression was wrong, Rong Xia hurriedly took out the medicine bowl, patted her back and said, "Is your stomach upset?"
"Well," Ban Jia looked at Rong Xia mournfully, feeling pitifully aggrieved, "It smells bad."
Rong Xia tasted the medicine, it was bitter and astringent, and the taste was not easy to ask, he frowned, the medicine was indeed unpleasant and unpleasant to drink. He looked at the housekeeper standing behind him, "Why is this medicine so bitter?"
housekeeper:…
"Master Hou, good medicine is bitter."
"No pills?" Seeing Ban Hua's face as pale as paper, Rong Xia persuaded softly, "Hua, why don't you use some first?"
When the beauty looked at her with a pleading and concerned look, Ban Hua couldn't help nodding her head.
So a spoonful of medicine was fed to her again.
"Bring the bowl." Ban Hua refused to use a spoon to feed this method. Feeding this half bowl of medicine spoon by spoon is simply torture, it is better than a mouthful of stuffiness. Although it is a good thing for the beauty to take the initiative to feed the medicine, but this method is too heavy for her to bear.
Rong Xia was stunned for a moment, and handed the medicine bowl to Ban Hua.
Ban Hua held the bowl and gulped down a few gulps, and even ate several candied fruit before suppressing the urge to gag in his throat.
The maid held a tea cup to rinse her mouth, she took a sip and spit it out and said, "I can't rinse anymore, I'll spit out the medicine too."
"Take the medicine and get a good night's sleep, and you'll be fine with sweating." Rong helped Ban Hua to lie down, covered her with the quilt, took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, unable to hold back her hot forehead With a light kiss, "Sleep at ease."
Ban Hua opened her eyes, her moist eyes were bent, she closed them and fell asleep.
The maid next to her felt that this scene made her blush a little, and turned her head away hurriedly.
"Serve the princess well," Rong Xia stood up from the stool, "I'll be over in a while."
"Yes."
Rong Xia walked out of the main courtyard and asked the housekeeper who was following behind him, "Has Tong Chen left?"
"Master Hou, several adults have already left the house."
Rong Xia nodded, his expression was very cold, as cold as a sharp blade just unsheathed in winter, making people afraid to touch its edge.
"Let Wang Qu meet me in the study."
Wang Qu couldn't help but bowed his waist when he saw Hou Ye's first glance.
"A traitor caught?"
"It's two concierges, and someone took their family..."
"I don't want to listen to their difficulties," Rong Xia interrupted Wang Qu without raising his head, "We will deal with it according to the rules."
Wang Qu's waist was buried lower: "This subordinate understands."
"If it wasn't for Fule County Lord last night, the Hou residence would have hung up white flags today to invite people to cry." Rong Xia looked up at Wang Qu, "I overestimated Jiang Luo's brain."
"Master Hou, this subordinate thinks that King Ning can't sit still anymore."
King Ning was impatient, and he did not deal with Lord Hou. Now that Lord Hou is valued by His Majesty again, King Ning has used the most stupid solution, injuring the enemy eight hundred and self-injuring one thousand.
"When has he ever sat down?" Rong Xia sneered, "Xie Chongjin doesn't seem to be getting better?"
Wang Qu was stunned for a moment, wondering why the Hou Ye suddenly mentioned Xie Chongjin: "Xie Jia Dalang is indeed not getting better, but what does this have to do with King Ning?"
"I didn't have it before, but now I can."
He would not believe that Emperor Yunqing would deal with the second prince because of him. He knew Emperor Yunqing. Selfish and suspicious, only people in the world are sorry for him, and there is no time for him to do wrong. King Ning is no longer a thing, but he is also his son. After the investigation this time, Emperor Yunqing may compensate him, and he will cut off several of King Ning's minions to help him vent his anger, but the second prince will never move. of.
No matter what the Xie family does now, they are tied to the big ship of King Ning, and he wants to make Xie Chongjin a thorn in the heart of the Xie family.
"Master Hou, the prince of the class is here." The butler's voice sounded outside the study.
Rong Xia rushed out to take a look, and saw a group of people carrying several large boxes, and twenty or thirty men and women, some dressed as maids, some dressed as guards, Ban Heng was surrounded by these people, like The street hooligans who take their younger brothers to collect protection fees.
"Brother Ban," Rong Xia glanced at the large boxes on the ground, "I don't know if these are..."
"It's all my sister's commonly used clothing, jewelry, and some objects," Ban Heng sighed, "She's temporarily living in your residence, and I'm not good at taking too many things, so let's just leave it at that."
"Brother Ban, don't be polite. If you need anything else, just bring it over here. Our family doesn't talk about it." Rong Xia led Ban Heng to the inner courtyard. You go and look at the yard, and if there is something you don't like, let the next person change it."
"Don't worry, I'm not too picky about where I live." There was only one box of Ban Heng's things in total, and aside from a few servants and guards, none of the maids left. Therefore, most of the people he brought were serving Ban Hua.
The servants of the Rong family found that the eldest son of the Ban family was indeed exceptionally good to serve. Except for being particular about food, he had no opinion on the rest. When she sees the beautiful maid of Rong Mansion, she won't take a second glance, she won't bully her subordinates, and she won't look for trouble.
Is such a young man actually called a dandy
The standard of playfulness in the capital is really too low.
Ban Hua drank the medicine and fell into a drowsy sleep. After eating half a bowl of porridge, he fell asleep again. In the middle of the night, she woke up once. There was no candle in the room, but a candlestick radiated a faint light.
Is this a lamp made of luminous pearls
"Hua, are you awake?" Seeing her awake, Rong Xia hurriedly said, "Don't sleep yet, I'll have someone bring the warm medicine."
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Ban Hua's body was limp, she just sat up and lay back down.
"I slept in the afternoon." Rong Xia's voice was a little dry. He got up and walked to the door. He said something to the people who were guarding outside, and hurried back to the bed, "Are you feeling better now?"
"I'm sweating all over now, it's uncomfortable," Ban Hua stretched out his hand to the quilt, but turned his head and was stuffed back by Rong Xia, "The imperial doctor said, you can't be cold anymore. Be good, don't make trouble."
"Who's making trouble?" Ban Hua coughed dryly, "I'm going to change clothes."
"I'll let the maid serve you." Rong Xia touched her nose uncomfortably, then got up again and walked to the door. Soon, two maids came in.
"Ruyi, Yuzhu?" Ban Hua blinked, "Why are you here?"
"The county master, the slaves were brought by the prince. He is worried that others will not know your preferences and will not serve you well." Ruyi dressed Ban Hua and saw that Marquis Chengan had left the room, so she and Yuzhu supported Ban Hua. After going to the screen.
Ban Hua lay back in the bed and said in a hoarse voice, "Is the prince here too?"
Based on what she knew about her brother, he would never let her live alone in the Marquis of Cheng'an Mansion for so long.
"Yes," Ruyi wiped the sweat from Ban Hua's forehead with a hot handkerchief, "the prince lives in the next yard."
Ban Hua smiled: "This stinky boy..."
I can't bear to say anything else.
After a while, Rong Xia came in again, he reached out and probed Ban Hua's forehead: "It's still a little low fever."
He wrapped Ban Hua with a quilt, let her sit on the head of the bed, and brought the medicine bowl to her mouth: "I'll take you to drink."
Finally no spoon feeding.
Ban Hua drank all the medicine while holding her breath, bit a piece of candied fruit that Rongxia stuffed into her mouth, and a smile appeared on her pale face.
"What are you laughing at?" Rong Xia wrapped her arms around her and wiped the corners of her mouth with the other.
"Laugh at me, the beauty is in front." Ban Hua blinked, looking extraordinarily naive and innocent.
Rong Xia chuckled, "It's my beauty who is pregnant."
"Well..." Ban Hua yawned, "I still want to sleep."
"Go to sleep." Rong Xia smiled, but did not let go of her. Ban Hua opened his eyes and looked at him, only to see his chin and half of his face. But beauty is beauty, even if it's just the back of the head, it's still beautiful.
"Hou..." Ruyi wanted to say to Marquis Cheng'an, it's okay to put down their county master and lie down by himself.
But Cheng Anhou looked up at her, and she closed her mouth unconsciously. When she and Yuzhu walked out of the house, she was shocked to realize that her forehead was covered in sweat.
"Sister Ruyi, isn't it inappropriate to keep Cheng Anhou in the house?" Yuzhu whispered, "Should we go in and serve."
"No need," Ruyi took a deep breath, "If the county master is willing to let us stay, she has already spoken before she goes to bed."
What's more, with Uncle Rong's character, he wouldn't do anything. With them and a few female guards guarding outside, he couldn't do anything.
Rong Xia has never seen Ban Hua so weak. On weekdays, she is like a beautiful fox with strong energy. Where she is, she is the brightest existence. No one can really ignore her, or in other words, as long as she is there, it is difficult for many people to pay attention to others.
It was the first time he saw Hua Hua so weak, he had the urge to rub her into his body, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he could only hold it carefully, not willing to let go, not afraid Hold too hard.
Why is there such a beautiful woman in the world
As long as there is her, the whole world becomes dark, only she is beautiful and picturesque.
He never thought that one day there would be a woman holding a sword in front of him, like a big mountain blocking the wind and rain for him, blocking the sword.
His mother was weak, her face was always full of sorrow, and she told him the pain that never bored. Over and over, over and over again, like a thick fog that never goes away.
Before her mother died, a pair of slender hands made his arm bleed. She said that she was worried that her father would marry someone new and that her father would forget her. Her love, hate, pain, and memories were like a bleak girl. Dreams have never been gorgeous until death.
She didn't worry about how her two sons would be without their mother's protection, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with telling the children her sorrows and pains over and over again. She likes elegant and plain white things, and even with them from childhood, she also likes the same as him.
She disliked red and vulgarity, disliked gold and silver vulgarity, and even sneered at Ban's family during her lifetime.
She never used the jewelry in the storeroom of the government, because she felt that they were all things, and the most beautiful women were beautiful without jewelry. Women who are addicted to jewelry and spend energy on clothing and jewelry are both tacky and superficial. She disdains to say a word to such people or sit with them.
As a child, he had fantasized that the beautiful jewelry mothers in the storeroom would look good on them. However, before he could say it, his mother let him know that people who like these things are superficial.
So this thought, he buried it deeply.
Gentle, personable, and measured in words and deeds. This was the expectation his mother had given him, and she had raised him that way.
Later, she passed away, her father passed away, and her brother was gone. He was the only one left in the entire Rong family, and he became the most respectful gentleman of the Rong family.
It's just that every time he walked into Fuzhong's warehouse, he couldn't help but take a look at those jewels.
Obviously they are very beautiful things, why is it vulgar to like them
Why
Until that day, when he rode down the street on horseback, he saw the noble girl who had met by chance in the mountains, wearing a red dress and riding on a horse, and lashing the whip at a man, all his eyes were attracted by the girl. Everyone and things are dull gray, only she is like a flame, so gorgeous that he can't breathe.
Obviously this is extremely beautiful and bright, how can it be gaudy
Recovering from the memory, Rong Xia looked down at the woman sleeping peacefully in his arms, put her back on the bed, got up and kissed her lips gently. Her lips were bitter and warm.
Licking the corners of her lips, Rong Xia closed her eyes against the head of the bed.
Ban Hua knew that she was dreaming again.
She saw that Shen Yu came to retire, that Xie Qilin broke his eyes, and that Xie Wanyu and Jiang Luo got married, and the two were separated because of Shi Feixian.
The dream changed quickly and illogically, as if it was spring for a while, and then it snowed outside again, and in the blink of an eye, the garden was full of spring.
The prince was locked in a damp and dark yard. He seemed to be writing something, but before Ban Hua approached, the dream changed again. She saw that the main hall of the Dayue Palace was full of guards of the Imperial Guard. Shi Jin Standing with the commander of the Guards, the two of them had blood on their faces, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
A pair of thick-soled cyan soap boots stepped through the door and stepped on the coagulated blood. The man seemed to think the blood was too dirty. He raised his foot and stepped on a corpse lying next to him. go ahead.
"King Changqing, why are you doing this?"
"Why?" The visitor laughed and slowly opened the fan in his hand, "This is what Emperor Yunqing owes me."
The King of Changqing County? ! Ban Hua heard footsteps coming from behind, and when he looked back, Jiang Luo came in with a team of guards with swords, his face full of pride.
Jiang Luo
She looked at these two people walking together in shock, how could King Changqing have contact with Jiang Luo
Ban Hua suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the flying gauze curtain and the face lying on the head of the bed.
"Hua, are you awake?"
Ban Hua stared blankly at Rong Xia, and suddenly said, "Are you on good terms with King Changqing?"
She remembered that when King Changqing invited her and Hengdi to see Starling, Rongxia stayed with King Changqing.
Rongxia wiped the sweat off her head as usual, "It's not very good, he likes my calligraphy and painting, so he often invites me to his house to talk about poetry, but I don't always have time."
Ban Hua nodded and whispered, "It's fine if you don't go."
"What?" Rong Xia smiled at her.
Ban Hua shook his head: "I'm still a little dizzy."
"I'll rub it for you." Rong Xia pressed her temples for her, his movements were light, and his fingers were still warm, "Why do you suddenly think of him?"
"I had a dream."
"Dream of him but not of me?"
Ban Hua smiled when he heard the words: "I didn't dream of him, I just dreamed of a pig and a starling."
"Um?"
"The myna stands on the pig's back, and the pig can still fly. Dreaming of mynah, I think of the starling that His Royal Highness King Changqing asked me to see." Ban Hua looked at Rongxia, "How can a pig fly? "
"Probably because the pig is dreaming?"
"Ahhh."
Ban Hua bit on the back of his hand.
"Hey, pigs can not only fly, but also bite people."
Standing at the door, Ban Heng thought blankly, did he come a little early
