Xie Xuanchen turned around with all his self-control. He thought he was mentally prepared, but when he saw the scene behind him, his brain was still congested and he almost lost control. Mu Mingtang unbuttoned his shirt, leaving only the tube top, and lay prone on the bed. However, her tube top style does not cover her back, which means that now her back is all exposed in front of Xie Xuanchen's eyes, lying weakly on the bed.
Xie Xuanchen cursed in his heart. Since Mu Mingtang came by his side, Xie Xuanchen has tried his best to restrain his vulgar side. Of course, the vulgar words he learned in the military camp cannot be said in front of Mu Mingtang. But at this moment Xie Xuanchen really couldn't control his swear words. He was married, and the person in front of him was his princess. Why did he suffer this crime
Mu Mingtang waited for a while, and when Xie Xuanchen didn't move, he looked back at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
Xie Xuanchen's expression was tense, and his eyes were not quite right. Seeing her turn around, Xie Xuanchen seemed to have made a very difficult decision, and said almost stiffly, "It's okay."
Mu Mingtang also nodded and looked away. She pressed her face on the quilt, thinking that Xie Xuanchen was really reluctant to have intimate contact with others, and he was embarrassed.
Mu Mingtang sighed inwardly.
Xie Xuanchen rubbed the ointment stiffly, melted it in the palm of his hand, and tried his best to look away, not to look at Mu Mingtang's mutton-like back. But the moment his palm touched Mu Mingtang's back, Xie Xuanchen still regretted it.
He really overestimated himself, and he restrained himself just by looking at it, and now he has to get started. There is touch but can't see, but it is easier to imagine.
But he didn't dare to put his sights on it, otherwise he was afraid of what he would do. Mu Mingtang treats him a life-saving benefactor, an unparalleled hero, although Xie Xuanchen feels nauseous, but after a long time, he actually has some burdens.
If you let the little girl know that the savior in her mind is not what she imagined, and she even does something very excessive... Xie Xuanchen dare not think about it any more.
Mu Mingtang has never had such close contact with outsiders. She has slept alone since she was six years old, and she has never had such contact with her mother, let alone a man. Mu Mingtang can feel that the hands on his shoulders are slender and strong, and it is different from direct contact through a layer of clothing. For example, now Mu Mingtang can feel that his hands look white, but they actually have rough calluses. A pair of hands holding a knife and shooting an arrow.
Mu Mingtang buried his head in the quilt, and his face turned red. She felt that it was too embarrassing not to speak like this, but she was embarrassed to raise her head, so she was still trapped in the quilt, and asked sullenly, "So how did you find out?"
Xie Xuanchen was trying his best to restrain himself not to think too much, when he heard Mu Mingtang's question suddenly, he was startled: "What?"
"That maid this afternoon." Mu Mingtang added after finishing speaking, "Zuo Zuo said she was drowned, but I don't believe it. Did you find something?"
Xie Xuanchen's mood was up and down, and in the end, he was quite gnashing his teeth. Startled him, he thought that Mu Mingtang found him... But is she too big-hearted, at such a time, she still thinks about the maid
Xie Xuanchen didn't know whether to be angry with himself or Mu Mingtang, and the last thought went to the emperor. If he finally finds out that everything is really the emperor's fault, let's see how he cleans up this hypocritical bastard!
"why do not you talk?"
Xie Xuanchen sighed and accepted his fate. While controlling the strength of his fingers to be moderate, he also controlled his eyes not to look elsewhere, and at the same time he had to explain to his princess: "What do you want to hear first?"
"That maid. Did she really drown?"
"Definitely not." Xie Xuanchen said, "She was killed and thrown into the lake."
"why?"
"If you stumble and fall into the water, you will struggle. There will be mud and sand in the gaps between your head, fortune, hands and feet, and the body shouldn't be like that." Xie Xuanchen stopped after speaking, and hesitated, "Do you really want to continue listening? ?"
Mu Mingtang pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but when he heard Xie Xuanchen stopped again, he was so angry that he wanted to settle accounts with him: "You can't finish it!"
Mu Mingtang was in a hurry, his upper body lifted slightly, Xie Xuanchen quickly looked away, and dared not look again: "You lie down, don't move."
Mu Mingtang could only lie back in silence and whisper, "I'm not afraid, you continue to say."
Mu Mingtang moved a bit just now, and now his posture when he was lying back was different from that before, and he could vaguely see some ups and downs from the side.
Xie Xuanchen managed to regain his calm and his face turned red again, but he couldn't remind Mu Mingtang, so he could only avoid his line of sight, and tried his best to say in a straight and rigid tone: "When people enter the water alive, they instinctively call for help, and the water flows from the mouth and nose. The water flowed out of the middle of the body, so the abdomen was filled with water and swelled slightly. But in the afternoon, when you look at the woman's body, her mouth and eyes were closed, her hands were naturally hanging down, her nails were clean, but her abdomen was swollen high, and she was obviously dead when she entered the water, so no Struggles and doesn't spit."
Mu Mingtang followed Xie Xuanchen's words and recalled, and sure enough, he couldn't help nodding. That's right, the corpse she saw in the afternoon was exactly the same as what Xie Xuanchen said. At that time, she couldn't see any clues, but at this moment, when she heard Xie Xuanchen's words, she felt that it was indeed suspicious.
If a person really accidentally falls into the water, it is impossible not to struggle, the hand should not be in a naturally hanging posture, and the mouth should not be firmly closed. It seems that the maid was killed by someone before she threw herself into the water and pretended to be drowning.
Mu Mingtang admires it very much. If it wasn't for the inconvenience of her posture, she would want to get up and applaud Xie Xuanchen: "Awesome! You watched it for a while, but you didn't get started, and you found that so many things were wrong, but it was much better than that one. If one day the world will be leveled, there will be no more wars, and you can go to Dali Temple to be a head arrester!"
Mu Mingtang's compliment was straightforward and shallow, but it was such a straightforward compliment that Xie Xuanchen couldn't resist. He coughed lowly and said, "Captain the head? Even if I really go to the Dali Temple, I should be the temple minister, but I am only a minor official?"
Mu Mingtang laughed when he heard this: "Okay, you are born to be a great leader. Then since you found out something was wrong, why did you say nothing when you came here, but avoided it?"
"I don't avoid it, why did Xie Xuanji imply that Xue Zuo was perjury?" Xie Xuanchen said casually, "Besides, their tricks are not very clever, if I watch for a long time and still don't find anything, let Xie make nonsense, I'm afraid they There will be doubts. It’s better to avoid it in the name of being sick, not in good health, and feeling powerless, it makes sense.”
It was only then that Mu Mingtang suddenly realized that Xie Xuanchen knew what Xie Xuanji and the others wanted to do from the very beginning. Xie Xuanchen understood everything but didn't say anything, and went along with their plan, deliberately letting the master behind him replace the aroma ball, deliberately letting Zuzuo define the death of the maid as an accident, and deliberately asking the imperial doctor to deny the spices.
Doing too much will expose the plans of the people behind the scenes, but if Xie Xuanchen can't bear any doubts at all, it will make Xie Xuanji and others suspect that he is hiding. So Xie Xuanchen showed his doubts but didn't dig deeper, and guided Xie Xuanji and others around in a circle, making them think that the plan was a complete success.
Now, the news has probably passed back to the big boss. The other party must feel that the plan has been successful. Although there were some accidents because of Mu Mingtang, now the spice ash has been dropped, and the maid who handled the spice has also died. Although Xie Xuanchen had doubts, he had already proved that the maid had fallen into the water and died. The imperial doctor also said that there was no problem with the spices, just the common agarwood incense. The mastermind behind the scenes will probably feel that Xie Xuanchen has been deceived.
Even if you are not blindfolded, everything is dead and unproven. Xie Xuanchen coughed so many times in the afternoon, even if he doubted it again, with his body, how could he have the energy to investigate
However, this is Xie Xuanchen's purpose. He not only knows what the person above wants to do, but also what he wants to see. Everything is very precise.
Mu Mingtang finally understood her role. She was the dog-leg next to the sick and weak young master who was charging and waving the flag. She jumped up and down, but she didn't have enough brains. She could not only confuse the enemy's sight, but also perfectly cover her own scheming.
Mu Mingtang figured it out, the mantis caught the cicada, the oriole was behind, and the people behind the scenes wanted to deceive Xie Xuanchen, but Xie Xuanchen took the plan and deceived the other party to the death. The only question now is how to deal with the spice.
What exactly are those spices? How to use it and what is the effect? If Xie Xuanchen's disease is really manipulative, doesn't it mean that this disease has a chance to be cured
This is the last question, and the biggest one.
Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen didn't speak anymore, one was lying on his stomach quietly, and the other was moving slowly and congested. In fact, both of them were thinking about the spice thing in their hearts, but neither dared to mention it in front of each other, and tacitly avoided talking about it.
Mu Mingtang thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Who is the one who made Jinger Dan for you?"
Mu Mingtang originally thought it was the Imperial Physician Bureau, but later heard from the Imperial Physician Zhang several times, and knew that although the Imperial Physician Bureau was involved in the pharmaceutical industry, in fact, it was a foreign traveling doctor who actually made the prescription.
However, this was already two years ago. When Xie Yi was alive, he would spend a lot of money to develop an antidote for Xie Xuanchen. Now that the emperor has been replaced by Xie Rui, the antidote is no longer mentioned, and even the materials and recipes from that year have been lost unknowingly.
Xie Xuanchen had thought about this for a long time, he sighed slightly, and said, "That's a wandering doctor, with no fixed place to live, and a family in the world. My father originally asked the Imperial Medical Bureau to make pharmaceuticals, but the Imperial Medical Bureau was helpless, and he had no choice. I can only make a list to attract folk strange people. The doctor who traveled to the capital and saw the emperor was curious, so he went to the palace to study my disease. He immersed himself in research for two or three months, and took out the Jinger Dan. The first service was really effective, and the court rewarded He has a lot of money. He took things with him and traveled again. When he found out that there were side effects later, he could no longer find this traveling doctor. "
"Ah?" Mu Mingtang was surprised when he heard this, "You really let him go? Shouldn't you keep him until he heals you?"
"At that time, the emperor had already changed."
Mu Mingtang suddenly became hoarse, so it was. She sighed and said, "It's okay, it's only been two years, we'll send someone to look for it again, and we'll be able to find the wandering doctor. Didn't he just see the emperor list come out back then, it's really not good, we'll post the emperor list again. "
When Mu Mingtang said this, he knew that it was difficult to achieve. If the current emperor is Xie Yi, it is only a matter of one sentence to post the emperor list to find someone, but now the person on the throne is Xie Rui.
Xie Xuanchen sighed inaudibly: "It's not about finding people. What I'm afraid of is that he is dead."
Hearing this, Mu Mingtang groaned.
Mu Mingtang lay down quietly for a long time, feeling a little pain in the other arm, and couldn't help but ask, "Does it take so long to massage for congestion?"
Xie Xuanchen paused with his fingers, and withdrew his hand very calmly: "It's almost done."
Then he turned around consciously and said, "I can't see it, you can change your clothes."
Mu Mingtang hummed lowly, picked up the middle coat beside him and tied it. She found that Xie Xuanchen's strength was really strong, but she was only scratched and rubbed for so long, but she still couldn't lift her arm in pain.
Mu Mingtang stumblingly fastened his belt, covered himself tightly, and said to Xie Xuanchen, "I'm fine."
In fact, Xie Xuanchen heard it. He was very embarrassed at the moment, but he had to show a calm and composed look. He just turned around and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when he saw Mu Mingtang take two steps forward and suddenly open his arms to hug him: "It's okay, we will definitely find a solution."
