Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised, and a little provocative: "What did you say?"
Mu Mingtang had endured it all afternoon, and he couldn't hold it for a long time, so he simply took Xie Xuanchen and walked to the bed: "Come on, I have something to tell you."
Xie Xuanchen knew that she didn't mean that, but in this situation, as a man, there was really no way to think about it.
Xie Xuanchen was pulled to the bed and watched as Mu Mingtang put down the tent and covered everything tightly. He didn't know how to express his feelings for a while, so he simply lifted the quilt and took the initiative to lie in.
Mu Mingtang prepared the conditions for the secret room conversation, and when he turned around, he found that Xie Xuanchen was lying down. She was startled and asked, "Why did you fall asleep?"
"Didn't you say go to bed?"
Mu Mingtang's face appeared surprised and confused and suppressed her anger. She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "I have something to talk about with you, get up quickly."
"No." Xie Xuanchen lay very peacefully, and reached out and patted the quilt next to him, "You talk about the bed, come up first."
Mu Mingtang gritted her teeth. She wanted to act like she was indifferent to business affairs, but her face turned red inadvertently: "I didn't joke with you."
"I'm not joking." After speaking, Xie Xuanchen yawned, feeling really sleepy, "Hurry up, or I'm going to sleep."
Mu Mingtang glared at this man, but in the end he had no choice but to lift the hem of his clothes, sit at the end of the bed with his knees tucked, and said, "Okay, can you talk now?"
"Hmm. What do you want to ask?"
The topic finally turned to the point, Mu Mingtang tried to ignore the embarrassment and said in a low voice, "Didn't the imperial physician come in the afternoon? I left the imperial physician alone, took the aroma ball in the cabinet and asked him, the imperial physician said that the spices are submerged water. fragrant."
Xie Xuanchen just gave a faint "um", obviously not surprised at all. In the world, what the imperial concubines like to use has always been used, and then it was passed on to the circle of princes and kingdoms, and finally the people below followed suit. High officials and nobles are used to incense, so the rich folk also like to burn incense and incense. Although Mu Mingtang is a businessman, his family is rich and he smelled a lot of spices when he was a child. Among them, Chen Shuixiang, she knew.
Agarwood is already a very precious spice. Although Mu's family used it rarely, it doesn't mean that Mu Mingtang can't remember the taste of agarwood. She was quite sure that the scented ball found in the cupboard at noon did not smell like agarwood.
When they went to see the corpse in the afternoon, there was no one in the Yulin Hall, and the aroma balls had been replaced, so naturally nothing could be found out of the spices inside.
Mu Mingtang felt a deep sense of happiness when she thought of this, and she sighed sincerely: "Fortunately, the spices were hidden away at noon, otherwise, there is no way to prove it now."
After talking for a while, Mu Mingtang quietly looked at Xie Xuanchen out of the corner of his eyes, and found that the man really closed his eyes and was ready to fall asleep with peace of mind. There was an indescribable feeling in Mu Mingtang's heart. Xie Xuanchen was sick and quiet most of the time, and he looked like he was at ease in retirement, but in fact, every time he reached the key point, he responded very quickly.
If Xie Xuanchen was not burdened by illness, if Xie Xuanchen could contact the outside world normally, even if the late emperor died suddenly, he would not be in this situation.
Originally, he didn't need to keep a low profile, forbearance and seeking perfection.
Mu Mingtang thought a little too far, Xie Xuanchen closed his eyes, and suddenly asked, "What are you sighing when you look at me?"
Mu Mingtang didn't expect him to speak suddenly, and was taken aback. Only then did she realize that she didn't know when, she was staring straight at Xie Xuanchen. She hurriedly sat upright and said, "It's nothing, I'm just worried about the future. Although these imperial physicians live in our mansion, they are actually the emperor's people, and the spices may not be guaranteed to them. We can't go out, what should we do? "
Mu Mingtang has experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and most of all, he knows that the human heart is fragile, so don't test human nature. Mu Mingtang could buy Imperial Doctor Zhang with gold and silver and let him see Xie Xuanchen quietly, but Mu Mingtang didn't dare to try to identify such a big thing as spices.
If the imperial doctor had any thoughts and told the emperor about it, they would all lose. This may only be a one in ten thousand chance, but now Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen can't even bet on this one in ten thousand.
"There is always a way." Xie Xuanchen was very bland about this. "New Year's Eve is coming soon. He will definitely let me celebrate the New Year. At least for two months, I don't have to worry about anything."
Mu Mingtang was shocked by his calm attitude and asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Really." Xie Xuanchen opened his eyes and glanced at her, closed his eyes again, and smiled softly, "You don't have to look like the sky is about to fall, I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry?"
"But..." Mu Mingtang now understood what it felt like the emperor was not in a hurry for the eunuch. She couldn't help sitting up and moved in the direction of Xie Xuanchen, "You really don't want to know what those spices are? I got sick, just yesterday I lit the incense ball, and I found the incense ball in my forefoot, and the maid who grinded the incense with my back foot fell into the water. All this is too coincidental. "
Although Xie Xuanchen closed his eyes, the pictures in his mind did not stop for a moment. How could he not want to know, he really wanted to know what the residual material in the incense ball was, what effect it had, and when it started.
Xie Xuanchen remembered that on this bed, it was also a dark night, and Mu Mingtang said that maybe there was something else hidden in the past. At that time he didn't want to listen, and he didn't dare to listen.
He dared not let himself have any hope, only to discover in the end that he really did everything. Simply, from the very beginning, I had the worst plan, no matter how bad it was, it would not be worse than killing relatives and friends.
But now a faint spark ignited in the darkness, and there were burnt incense balls in his bedroom, and the timings were very consistent with his onset. He couldn't help but give birth to a humble hope, perhaps, it was really manipulated by foreign objects
Xie Xuanchen was tormented by this conjecture all afternoon, and his heart was dripping with blood. He dared not hold out hope, but he couldn't help but hope that it was true. If it is really controlled or induced by foreign objects, it means that his disease is controllable, and he may be able to live.
Tomorrow, which others take for granted, is an unreachable luxury for him.
The life scenes described by Mu Mingtang were beautiful to him, but he never dared to put himself in them. But now, Xie Xuanchen gave birth to a humble and bold extravagance.
The more anxious Xie Xuanchen felt, the more he had to force himself to be calm. He didn't want to give Mu Mingtang illusory hope, so he didn't dare to reveal the slightest. People who have been desperate for too long are actually afraid of hope. Xie Xuanchen especially did not dare to disappoint Mu Mingtang.
Xie Xuanchen would rather keep everything in his heart, perhaps until after all the dust has settled, Xie Xuanchen dared to promise Mu Mingtang's future in a calm and unusual tone.
After Mu Mingtang finished talking about his doubts, he found that Xie Xuanchen did not fluctuate at all, and was as calm as ever. Mu Mingtang couldn't help but slap Xie Xuanchen: "Why are you still sleeping?"
"Otherwise?" Xie Xuanchen's tone was still calm, "No matter what the truth is, I always have to sleep tonight, so what's the hurry."
Mu Mingtang frowned, she always thought it was a heresy, but she couldn't refute it somehow. Mu Mingtang stared at Xie Xuanchen for a while, and suddenly felt ashamed.
Look at others, Mount Tai collapses in front of you and doesn't move. In comparison, she was too impatient.
However, no matter how he hinted that he was steady, Mu Mingtang couldn't be in a hurry. She said: "Today, the maid said that the maid stumbled into the water and died. They must have taken the body away tonight. We will not be able to test it if we find it again. The clues are half lost. How can we do this?"
"Who said there is no way to test it?" Xie Xuanchen suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I don't need to find another job, I'm enough."
Mu Mingtang suddenly found something amazing and came over expectantly. But Xie Xuanchen closed his eyes again and refused to say: "Go to sleep, you want to know I'll tell you tomorrow. You'll be too scared to fall asleep listening to this before going to bed."
"Tomorrow?" Mu Mingtang's eyes widened, "I can't sleep if you don't tell me now. Tell me, what did you find?"
"What do you do when a child listens to this?"
Mu Mingtang really wanted to bite him, and he refused to speak halfway through the puzzle. This was simply trying to make things difficult for people. Mu Mingtang scratched his heart in a hurry, and simply crawled over to shake him: "Come on, if you don't tell me, I won't let you sleep!"
How could Xie Xuanchen take Mu Mingtang's strength in his eyes? He didn't move a bit. Seeing that he didn't respond, Mu Mingtang was about to change his posture to continue. He didn't know how to press the hem of the clothes with his knees, and he suddenly planted it on Xie Xuanchen.
Xie Xuanchen instinctively opened his eyes, and at that moment his eyes were sharp, and there was no drowsiness. Xie Xuanchen opened his eyes and realized that it was wrong. This was not on the battlefield, and it was not the enemy who rushed towards him. However, the body that had been practicing martial arts for many years had already made a first reflection. Xie Xuanchen immediately took back the strength in his hand, but it was still a step too late. Mu Mingtang's arm was held, and he couldn't help crying out in pain.
The maid on duty outside was awakened, and hurriedly ran to the next door and knocked on the door: "Princess, what's the matter?"
Xie Xuanchen has a bad temper and is still lethal. As long as the people inside don't speak, no one dares to go in directly. The maid waited at the door for a long time before she heard Xie Xuanchen's voice inside: "It's okay, let's go down."
The princess cried out in pain, but in the end it was the prince who spoke... It was not easy for the maids to ask any more questions, so they all dispersed after saying goodbye. After there was no movement outside, Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanchen accusingly with tears in his eyes: "It hurts, it's all green!"
Xie Xuanchen was also very guilty. He really reacted instinctively. Fortunately, he responded in time. Otherwise, Mu Mingtang's arm would be more than Wu Qing. Xie Xuanchen is very good at this kind of thing. He got out of bed and found medicine, sat beside the bed, and said, "It's me who is wrong. You take off your clothes first, and I will help you rub away the congestion. Otherwise, it will hurt for a few more hours. sky."
After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he saw Mu Mingtang's eyes slowly widen, and finally his face turned red. He also reacted incorrectly. The one who was hurt by him this time was not his former brother, but a delicate little girl.
This is a bit difficult, Xie Xuanchen blushed: "I don't want you to take off all, just show your shoulders and arms..."
Xie Xuanchen couldn't talk anymore, how could he just show his shoulders like a gangster who tried to abduct a woman from a good family? Xie Xuanchen was very flustered in his heart, but he pretended to be very calm and experienced and looked at Mu Mingtang. His original intention was to convey that he had no other honest purpose and just wanted to remove blood stasis for her, but he didn't know what happened. The more he looked into Mu Mingtang's eyes, the more panicked Xie Xuanchen became.
In the end, Xie Xuanchen clenched his fist and coughed and said, "Should I cover my eyes? But in any case, the congestion must be rubbed away, otherwise it will hurt more in the next few days."
Mu Mingtang sighed, but he saw it faster than Xie Xuanchen: "It's okay, you are here to heal me, I understand."
Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows slightly, what did she understand? He didn't say anything, what did she make up for herself
Before Xie Xuanchen could ask his doubts, he heard Mu Mingtang say, "Turn over first."
Okay, Xie Xuanchen can't say anymore, so he turned his back obediently. There was a rustling sound of undressing behind him, and as long as Xie Xuanchen sketched the scene behind him, he felt that his body was going to explode.
Xie Xuanchen couldn't help spurning himself in his heart. He was examining himself when he heard Mu Mingtang's weak voice behind him: "I'm fine."
Xie Xuanchen clenched his fingers tightly, and his whole body was already stiff. He urgently needs to go outside to play a set of punches and blow the cold wind for two hours by the way, but in fact, Xie Xuanchen was still sitting on the edge of the bed, his Adam's apple slid, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
