Chapter 28: Same room

Views:

Xie Xuanchen never thought that he was the one who caught the adulterer, and finally became himself being questioned.

"Old acquaintance?" Xie Xuanchen felt incredible when he heard these words, "I don't even know her, where did the old acquaintance come from?"

"Then why did she look at you so still, and she was about to cry at the end?"

"How do I know." Xie Xuanchen said without thinking, "I don't even know her father, who knows who she is? If you hadn't said that you were used as her substitute before, I wouldn't be too lazy to come out to see them."

Mu Mingtang stared at Xie Xuanchen's expression carefully and doubted: "Really?"

"Yes. There are so many people who like to look at me, how can I get to know them one by one." After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong, "No, I'm obviously asking about you and Xie Xuanji, why are you arguing?"

"You're the one who made the rake." Mu Mingtang laughed, not afraid at all, raised his eyebrows and mocked back, "I have a clear conscience, are you unable to explain your relationship with your old acquaintance, so you brought up something that was completely non-existent, Do you want to divert your attention?"

Xie Xuanchen looked at her speechlessly. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, I also think you are using this trick."

The two stared at each other and questioned each other. In the end, they couldn't find the result. They could only take a step back from each other and step down. Mu Mingtang snorted and complained, "I'm really wronged. It was you who acted suspiciously, but in the end it was me who was questioned."

"I was wronged." Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't even know her."

Xie Xuanchen's tone is calm, his eyes are bright, and he has no guilty conscience at all. Mu Mingtang couldn't see the clue for a while, and he was dubious. Maybe, what he said was true? But then Mu Mingtang thought that this guy was the best at acting, so it was better to have doubts.

The two made peace on the surface, but in fact they both thought that they were afraid that they would not want to be green. At this time, Xiang Nanchun and others had already returned, and there were other people in the room. Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were embarrassed to continue arguing, but Mu Mingtang simply supported Xie Xuanchen, and the two walked back slowly.

They walked around the porch of the house, talking as they walked. Xie Xuanchen asked: "You said earlier that you were adopted because you looked like Jiang Mingwei, and you almost got engaged to Xie Xuanji. I thought you two were very similar. But today, it's completely different."

Mu Mingtang almost said that she and Xie Xuanji were not nearly engaged, but already engaged. But reason stopped her, Mu Mingtang didn't correct Xie Xuanchen, but said: "Yes, I didn't see Jiang Mingwei when I entered Jiang's house, and everyone said they looked alike, so I thought I looked really similar to her. Later When Jiang Mingwei came back, I saw it myself, and I didn't think it was very similar."

When Mu Mingtang said this, he frowned and thought, "Perhaps, it's really like Mrs. Jiang said, it's a divine resemblance?"

"Likeness? Are you talking about your behavior?"

"right."

Xie Xuanchen recalled for a while and honestly commented: "To be honest, the words and deeds are not similar."

Mu Mingtang glared at him angrily: "It used to be like that. When I was in Jiang's house, I imitated it with my heart, and my words and actions were very elegant. It's just that I don't bother to work hard now."

Xie Xuanchen didn't speak. Mu Mingtang thought that Xie Xuanchen couldn't imagine her elegant scene, and was a little frustrated: "Why, can't you imagine it?"

"No." Xie Xuanchen shook his head and sighed softly, "You have suffered too many sins before. There is nothing to imitate. It's boring to compare it with others."

Mu Mingtang didn't expect Xie Xuanchen to say this, and looked at him in surprise.

"What are you looking at me for?" Xie Xuanchen gave her a look and said, "I didn't like my father when I was a child. When he saw people who lived with the candle, he thought I wasn't working hard enough, and when he saw poor folks, he thought I was too much. Splurge. When Xie Xuanji came, he thought I was not polite enough. I thought about changing at first, but then I opened it up. If I really follow his ideas, I can only achieve nothing in the end. I am what I am. If others are dissatisfied, then turn themselves into what they imagined. What does it have to do with me? Wenya is a way of life, straightforwardness is a way of life, restraint and patience are a way of life, and only thinking about the present is a way of life. Just live without regrets, more than anything."

Mu Mingtang was told that she was not elegant enough, noble enough, or docile enough to be pointed out every day. Although she knew that she was trying to survive, but after a long time, she had doubted herself in her heart. She even felt that she was not as noble and elegant as Jiang Mingwei, and the maid of the Jiang family laughed behind her back for being rustic. Although Mu Mingtang did not feel inferior to her origin, she admitted it.

She never thought that Xie Xuanchen, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, had such a bland attitude towards his background. Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanchen's profile and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think that you are born from a low background and can't be good at big scenes?"

"No." Xie Xuanchen even glanced at her strangely, "If you can't take it or not, it's all up to the person, what is the background? Some of the soldiers in the army are from poor but sincere heroes, mine There are also a lot of idlers among my childhood playmates. The vulgar is the elegant, as long as you like it, what is the difference between the high and the low?”

Mu Mingtang was struck by the phrase "I like it" in his words. She knew that she was not perfect, but she didn't feel that she was worthless. However, after listening too much, I always feel timid in my heart. The Jiang family doesn't look down on her being a merchant, and Xie Xuanji doesn't look down on her low status. But Xie Xuanchen was able to tell her calmly that it was up to the individual to decide whether to take it or not.

Mu Mingtang asked, "Don't you think I'm rough and savage, not polite enough?"

"That's what Xie Xuanji said." Xie Xuanchen sneered and said, "You don't need to worry about these people. They are not you, and you are not them. It is enough for you to live comfortably. Besides, you have such a good temperament. Okay, every day is warm and happy, just looking at it makes me feel good."

Mu Mingtang unknowingly showed a smile on his lips. Yes, Xie Xuanji, Jiang Mingwei and the Jiang family didn't like her, and she didn't like them either. Why would she change herself for someone she doesn't like? Mu Mingtang's doubts about himself dissipated, and there was no more grudge.

The September sun is bright and warm, and there are birdsong in the shadows of the trees. The two of them walked slowly in the winding porch. The girl smiled brightly and said, "I thought you were annoying yesterday, but now you say good things about me, and I think you are a good person again."

The boy walking beside her snorted from his nose, "Thank you so much."

Xie Xuanchen had exercised far more than usual this morning, and he fell asleep soon after he came back. He slept very deeply this night, and did not wake up until the afternoon.

Mu Mingtang originally wanted to make the best use of everything. Since the emperor sent five imperial physicians, he would not be sorry for the room and board subsidized by the Imperial Physician Bureau, so Mu Mingtang instructed the imperial physician early in the morning to ask Xie Xuanchen for a pulse in the afternoon. According to usual experience, Xie Xuanchen should be awake at this time in the afternoon, but something happened today, Xie Xuanchen slept for a long time, and did not wake up at the scheduled time.

But the imperial physician had already come, and Mu Mingtang did not send the imperial physician back, but asked them to check the pulse as usual. Xie Xuanchen was sleeping now, and they didn't dare to move too much. The head doctor Wu was sitting on the edge of the bed. He just put his fingers on Xie Xuanchen's wrist before letting go.

The pulse diagnosis ended too fast, so fast that Mu Mingtang wondered if the imperial doctor really felt the pulse. Seeing that Imperial Physician Wu had stood up, Mu Mingtang could not directly question the Imperial Physician, so he could only say beating around the bush: "Doctor Wu, you are done with the diagnosis now? Don't you need to take a closer look?"

"No need." Imperial Physician Wu looked very confident and said, "His Royal Highness's sick old man is familiar with the disease. The pathology is already well-known in his chest, so there is no need to spend more time on the pulse diagnosis."

Mu Mingtang frowned, this was not something that a virtuous doctor could say. Mu Mingtang's eyes swept silently across the maids and palace maids around him, and in the end he didn't say anything, but followed Tai-Doctor Wu to the outside and listened to Tai-Doctor Wu explaining the prescription.

The door of the dormitory has been closed, and they don't need to keep their voices down when they speak. Mu Mingtang asked, "Doctor Wu, how's the prince's illness?"

"No hindrance." Taiyi Wu held his beard and talked eloquently, "King An's body is as usual, just need less activity, more rest, and don't worry about everything, you can recover."

Mu Mingtang originally wanted to ask what to pay attention to in diet, but after hearing the words of Imperial Physician Wu, Mu Mingtang felt that there was no need to ask. She raised her eyes to look at the other four imperial physicians, and saw that they bowed their heads, pretending to be confused, and none of them objected to the words of Imperial Physician Wu. Mu Mingtang couldn't hold back, and still asked with a smile, "How will the prince's medicine be arranged?"

"There is no need to drink medicine." Wu Taiyi said, "The medicine for mental illness is useless, and it has to be cured naturally. The people of Anwangji have their own natural signs, and they will definitely be safe and sound."

Mu Mingtang was a little annoyed, she was angry, and what she said was also full of anger: "I don't understand what Imperial Doctor Wu said. The emperor sent five imperial physicians to take care of the prince, but he listened to the meaning of Imperial Doctor Wu. , Wang Ye's illness doesn't need to be treated by anyone at all, and you don't need to do anything, just wait. In this case, what are the five imperial doctors still doing in the palace? Our palace is sincere and fearful, and we dare not delay the time of the five genius doctors. Just send the five back to the palace."

Mu Mingtang said and raised his voice: "Come on, prepare a car."

Imperial Physician Wu did not expect that Mu Mingtang would dare to show no face like this, so he was startled, and his expression was obviously not good.

Wu Taiyi has been mentioned by experts and knows that coming to the Prince's Mansion is a fat man. Although it is dangerous, the rewards are extremely rich. He doesn't need to do anything, just save his life, and if Xie Xuanchen dies, he will be able to get promoted and rich.

Therefore, Imperial Physician Wu never thought of treating Xie Xuanchen, and just diagnosed the pulse, that is to say, just pretend. He was afraid that if he stayed by Xie Xuanchen's side for a long time, he would be strangled to death by this murderer, so he got his finger on the bottom and quickly got up.

Imperial Physician Wu was thinking about messing around, how could he give a diagnosis prescription without even holding down his pulse. What the body is as usual, what can be healed naturally without medicine, all his nonsense. It only needs to be boiled for a while until Xie Xuanchen is dead, and everything is done.

Wu Imperial Physician never thought that this famously decorated princess, who he didn't care about at all, would dare to take his face in public.

The emperor sent five imperial physicians on a special trip to see his nephew. Outside, they were praising the emperor's benevolence. If the imperial physician Wu and others were sent away at this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor

Of course, Imperial Physician Wu couldn't let such a thing happen. He glanced at Mu Mingtang, thinking that the other party was a princess after all, and she still had to make sacrifices for her, so he could only bear it and lowered his head: "It's not that you can't use medicine, it's just that the lord The disease is very dangerous, and you need to be very careful when you use the medicine. If you make a mistake, it will probably worsen."

"The five are all famous doctors of the Imperial Physician Bureau. They are highly respected and rejuvenated. If the five imperial doctors discuss it well, they will definitely be able to write a suitable prescription for the prince. Imperial physicians, do you think so?"

The five looked at each other in dismay, and in the end they could only hand in hand. They discussed for a long time on the side, and finally an old doctor wrote the Zhang Fangzi.

Mu Mingtang found that the doctor who wrote the book was a little familiar, and after thinking about it, wasn't it the old doctor who was pestering her to ask about medicine that day.

Mu Mingtang pretended not to know, took the recipe and saw that it was full of health-preserving medicines such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. These tonics can never kill anyone. The imperial doctor didn't want to treat Xie Xuanchen, so he wrote a prescription for tonic to fool her.

Mu Mingtang was very angry, but on the surface, he pretended not to notice anything, and sent a few people out with a smile. After waiting for them to leave, she faced Xiang Nanchun and the others and found that she couldn't even show any resentment or suspicion.

Xiang Nanchun stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Princess, do you want to decoct medicine?"

"Well." Mu Mingtang replied lightly, and handed the prescription in his hand to Xiang Nanchun, "Go and boil the medicine as ordered by the imperial physician."

"Yes." Xiang Nanchun was blessed and went out with a group of maids. Xiang Nanchun took half of the people away, and the other half stayed in the hall, watching his nose and heart, and although he lowered his eyes respectfully, he never left Mu Mingtang.

Mu Mingtang stood up directly and walked towards the bedroom. The maids were hesitant when they saw the door, but in the end they didn't dare to go in.

Mu Mingtang moved the stool and sat beside the bed. Xie Xuanchen was still sleeping peacefully on the bed. He closed his eyes and looked pure and innocent. He never thought that he was a big killer who could break the tibia of an adult man with his bare hands.

Mu Mingtang sighed silently. This palace is so big, but she doesn't know where to go or who to trust. Only Xie Xuanchen is the only place in the whole palace. Except for Xie Xuanchen, she has no one to be trusted.

I think Xie Xuanchen felt the same way.

Mu Mingtang put the hand he had just been diagnosed with back into the quilt, and whispered, "Get better soon."

After a while, Xiang Nanchun came back with the medicine. Mu Mingtang only glanced at it and said without looking back: "Put it down, you go to set the meal, and I'll feed the prince and drink the medicine."

Xiang Nanchun's eyes swept back and forth between Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen, and finally bowed his knees slightly and said, "Yes."

She turned around and said to the maid behind, "Put down the medicine."

The maid put down the medicine, held the plate and backed to the door, Xiang Nanchun said, "Princess, the soup and medicine have been fried. Princess Lao will feed the lord to drink the medicine, and the slaves will retire."

Xiang Nanchun happily closed the door and went out, which surprised Mu Mingtang. She thought it would take a lot of words to send these maids out.

But then, after thinking about Mu Mingtang, it is not difficult to understand that Xiang Nanchun was transferred from the palace, and he has a posture of not helping each other and protecting himself. Xie Xuanchen has a long life and a short life. To Xiang Nanchun, it's just the difference between working a few days more in the palace and working fewer days. Whether Mu Mingtang gave medicine or not, whether Xie Xuanchen improved or worsened, Xiang Nanchun would not care.

Although indifferent, Xiang Nanchun is just right for Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang was still sitting beside the bed, not even looking at the bowl of medicine behind him, let alone feeding it. After a while, Xie Xuanchen moved his fingers, and then slowly woke up.

Seeing that Mu Mingtang was overjoyed, he quickly poured a glass of warm water, sat on the edge of the bed, and carefully helped him sit up: "I thought you were about to wake up, sure enough. You woke up just in time, the meal is being served outside, you should rest. After a while, we'll go out to eat."

Xie Xuanchen gave a low "um", and after he sat up, he swept across the table and placed a bowl of medicine. Xie Xuanchen asked, "Did the imperial doctor come this afternoon?"

"Yes." Mu Mingtang was surprised, "How do you know?"

"The taste of the medicine has changed." Xie Xuanchen drank the medicine every day, and was too familiar with the original taste. Now he could only smell the heat on the soup and medicine, and he could recognize that the medicine had changed.

After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, seeing Mu Mingtang sinking even lower, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Mingtang shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just angry."

Xie Xuanchen felt that he was now very much like a logistical mother who enlightened recruits. Although he was helpless, he still asked Mu Mingtang warmly: "Why are you angry?"

"Although the palace has sent five imperial physicians to watch over you day and night in name, but in fact, none of them take good care of you." It's okay if you don't ask, now when Xie Xuanchen asks, Mu Mingtang seems to have found it Parents, cracking down on the grievances they suffered just now, "they don't want to see a doctor at all, if it wasn't for my anger, the imperial doctor in charge wouldn't even want to give you a prescription. But even if I told you , they don't take it seriously, they just prescribe a tonic prescription to fool people."

Xie Xuanchen knew what was going on when he heard half of it. He looked at Mu Mingtang's indignation, and his heart was slightly touched.

He knew for a long time that Xie Rui didn't want to cure him at all, and he knew that the medicine for his illness was useless. Because he didn't care, Xie Xuanchen didn't care about the negligence of the imperial physician, but Mu Mingtang was so serious, and seemed to hold injustice for him from the bottom of his heart.

Xie Xuanchen looked at Mu Mingtang's profile and didn't answer for a long time. After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she realized that she was complaining in front of the patient. She felt uncomfortable listening to these troubles. How could she use this to disturb the patient's mood

Seeing that Xie Xuanchen was silent, Mu Mingtang thought that he was also affected, and said quickly: "I just said it casually, but it's not so serious. I recognized that one of the imperial physicians was the one who missed out on me earlier, I'll find someone When the time comes, I will find him quietly, and I will definitely be able to find a way.”

Xie Xuanchen stretched out his hand to support the bed and wanted to stand up, but Mu Mingtang quickly supported him. Xie Xuanchen stood on the ground and said slowly, "I will die soon. There is no difference between them being cured or not."

"There is a difference." Mu Mingtang supported him and said softly, "You are not suffering from an incurable disease. Tuberculosis and poisoning can be cured. Why can't you? Speaking of people, why don't I secretly go outside to find a husband?"

Xie Xuanchen shook his head: "Farewell. Now everything in the palace is under Xie Rui's surveillance. If I ask outsiders to see a doctor, I will only harm the other's family. I have come this far anyway, and there is no need to implicate others."

Mu Mingtang just thought of more ideas, she even thought about how to avoid people's eyes and eyes, how to go outside to find Langzhong. But when she heard Xie Xuanchen's words, Mu Mingtang suddenly became discouraged. She knew that what Xie Xuanchen said was right, and no one dared to see a doctor for Xie Xuanchen. Even if she could secretly connect to the outside world, she found someone on the front foot and killed the other person on the back foot. woe.

Xie Xuanchen anticipated these scenes early in the morning, he was not in a hurry, and he was still arranging things for tonight: "I didn't understand what you meant last night. For a reason, you can move out."

Xie Xuanchen thought that Mu Mingtang would remarry sooner or later, and he was destined to not be able to give Mu Mingtang a long time, so it would be better not to delay her reputation, or to sleep in separate rooms as soon as possible. Most importantly, Mu Mingtang also wanted to move out.

Yesterday, he was wrong, and it would be too irresponsible to pretend he didn't know today.

Xie Xuanchen was talking about the move when he was suddenly interrupted by Mu Mingtang: "Wait."

"Um?"

Xie Xuanchen looked down at her, Mu Mingtang bit her lip, as if she suddenly had some cruelty, and said, "I will definitely move out, but I will stay for a few days recently."

Xie Xuanchen felt that there was something wrong with his ears: "You said to sleep with me for a few days?"

After saying this, Xie Xuanchen found that there was an ambiguity, and he quickly corrected: "I mean, do you want to sleep in the same bed with me?"

The more he described it, the darker it became, Xie Xuanchen found that he had not spoken for a long time, how could his language ability deteriorate so much. He wanted to explain further, but was interrupted by Mu Mingtang gritted his teeth: "Shut up."

Well, Xie Xuanchen felt that Mu Mingtang must have understood what he meant, so he shut up obediently. Mu Mingtang didn't know how to let go of his embarrassed hand, so he tried his best to put his face straight, and said, "Anyway, I slept all night yesterday, and it's not a bad day or two. Those five imperial physicians take turns on duty at night, and I usually can't be alone. Going to see the old doctor last time will only have a chance when he is on duty at night."

Before Mu Mingtang said the rest, Xie Xuanchen already understood: "So, you want me to cover for you, and you go to find that old doctor secretly?"

"Yes." Mu Mingtang blushed after speaking. It was originally a very serious reason, but it seemed that she was conspiring to do something wrong. Mu Mingtang could only add: "I'm definitely going to move out, don't get me wrong."

Xie Xuanchen was originally serious and focused on matters. Hearing Mu Mingtang's words, his ears warmed and he blushed embarrassedly: "Who misunderstood?"

He had something to misunderstand, he didn't think in that direction at all. What was Mu Mingtang thinking about
