Chapter 95: Something hidden in a jar

Views:

When Shen Muxi woke up, she was still in the medicine hut, but there was someone sitting across from her, she was so startled that she straightened up quickly, and she didn't know when she fell asleep last night? ! Low eyebrow found himself lying on the soft pillow, no wonder he slept so soundly.

"But dreaming about this king?" Bo Yunxiu closed the folder in his hand "Bada", "Drool is coming out!"

Startled, Shen Muxi hurriedly wiped his mouth, and then glared at him for a while, "Why are you here?"

"This is Prince Li's mansion. If I don't sit here, is it possible that I want to go to the room?" When he said this, he dipped his pen in ink without even raising his eyelids, and his tone was extremely skillful.

But seeing his sword eyebrows raised horizontally, he seemed displeased, but he was writing vigorously, with a particularly focused expression.

Shen Muxi was suddenly in a trance, vaguely as if he had returned to the past, he was writing with a pen beside him, she sat quietly watching him, didn't say anything, there was no need to say anything, but she was as quiet as ever.

After not hearing her chatter for a long time, Bo Yunxiu finally raised his head suddenly, just in time to see her half-downcast, slightly sluggish look, and his heart moved slightly, "Why don't you talk?"

Shen Muxi got up, rubbed his shoulders, stretched his waist, turned his head and looked at the sun outside, "The prince likes to stay here, so just stay here, I won't disturb the prince's work, goodbye!"

After saying that, she walked away.

But when he passed by him, he grabbed his wrist violently, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the room!" She rolled her eyes angrily, and brushed his hand away, "Make breakfast for Zhi'er!"

It wasn't until Shen Muxi left that Mi Li dared to come in from the outside, "Wang..."

"Clean up!" Bo Yunxiu walked away, "I'm hungry!"

"Humble job, let's pass on the breakfast!" Mi Li hurriedly said.

Who knew that Bo Yunxiu immediately gave him a cold look, which made Miu Li tremble in shock, so what's the matter? Thinking of the whip marks on his back, Mi Li's throat rolled, and the prince became more and more moody, how could this be good?

Because of getting up late, Shen Zhi was in a hurry to enter the palace, and Shen Muxi only made a few bowls of plum blossom soup cakes. Now that Bo Yu is not in the palace, those people don't bully Shen Zhi any more, naturally Shen Muxi doesn't need to cook lunch every day, only occasionally make some snacks for the children, sharing the sweetness with the little ones.

Mi Li stood outside the kitchen and shook his head in a daze, the prince was really hungry, he ate so little in the past, but when Dr. Shen cooks, his complexion must be rosy before he will stop.

After sending Shen Zhi away, Ah Luo started to tidy up.

Shen Muxi went back to her room to change clothes, but as soon as she went out, someone was sitting in the corridor.

Looking at the sun outside the eaves, Shen Muxi frowned and looked at Bo Yunxiu who was dressed in simple clothes, "Your Highness is not busy today?"

"not busy!"

Shen Muxi nodded, and walked out, only to find that Bo Yunxiu had also followed, and she couldn't help turning her head and asking, "Your Highness is leaving the mansion?"

Bo Yunxiu's face remained unchanged, "Yes!"

Oh, so good today? Answer all questions.

Ignore him anymore, Shen Muxi stroked his cuffs, and strode out of the mansion in stride, but today is really crazy, Bao Yunxiu is still following her, if she walks fast, he will follow, if she slows down, he will follow Slowed down, and always kept a certain distance from her, like a tail that couldn't be shaken off.

Sighing helplessly, Shen Muxi stood on the side of the street and looked at him, "What do you want to do?"

"Go to the clinic!" Bo Yunxiu walked ahead of her.

Shen Muxi frowned, he never went to the medical hall to join in the fun, he was usually too busy to keep his heels on the ground, how could he be so free today? What a rarity. After thinking about it, could it be that he was worried that Lu Guizhou would come to the clinic after his injury, so this guy...

After regaining consciousness, Shen Muxi chased after him with a cold face.

Bo Yunxiu really entered the medical clinic, just like entering a palace, he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. After entering, he sat down carelessly in front of the consultation desk, only waiting for Shen Muxi to enter the door.

The shopkeeper hurried to make tea, while the waiter and the little drug boy stood beside him tremblingly.

This situation, looked heavy and black as ink, "Go to work, don't stick here."

But the prince is sitting here, who dares to be contemptuous?

"Bo Yunxiu, if you are not here to see a doctor, would you please go upstairs?" Shen Muxi said with a cold face.

Bo Yunxiu got up and went upstairs, the shopkeeper hurried upstairs to serve tea, closed the door, everyone finally fell back, what happens in the room next depends on Dr. Shen's own luck.

"Bo Yunxiu, what do you want to do?" Shen Muxi frowned at him.

"The hospital was prepared with the help of Prince Li's Mansion. It's not too much to come and inspect it, right?" Bo Yunxiu picked up the cup and sipped it lightly, seeming to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on his brows and eyes, but this smile was only for She was alone, "Doctor Shen not welcome?"

"Welcome!" Shen Muxi walked upright and sat upright, how could he be afraid of him. Zuo But today A Luo will go to find the source of the nail, if there is news, she will have to go out.

Forget it, take one step at a time.

At noon, Ah Luo didn't come, Shen Muxi couldn't help feeling a little worried, don't let anything happen.

There are not many people on the street, and the weather is unbearably hot today, under the scorching sun, even if it is made of iron, it will melt into water.

Bo Yu has been looking for it all morning, squatting in the shade of the street corner, panting dryly, he has searched all the places where Yizhu usually goes, but there is no trace of Yizhu, I don't know if it is What happened?

If it was as in the past, if a person is lost, he would definitely report it to the Yamen of the Eastern Capital, but now... Bo Yu is nothing, the once proud pride has now become a joke in the eyes of others.

Shrinking her body, the scorching heat outside was unbearable, but Bo Yu didn't even have a bowl of water.

His lips were dry, and his stomach was unbearably hungry.

Only now did Bo Yu realize how comfortable those days were, he didn't cherish them, and now it's impossible to go back. From the beginning of the fall from the peak, he wished he could tear Shen Muxi and Shen Zhi apart, but what about now?

You have to accept your fate and realize the fact that life is worthless!

A bowl of cold cake was gently placed at Bo Yu's feet, A Luo squatted down, and called out in a low voice, "Young master!"

Bo Yu raised his head in shock, the dodge in his eyes made him even more embarrassed, "I don't know you!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know each other, are you hungry?" A Luo picked up the cold cake, "This is bought from the store you liked to eat before, let's relieve the heat!"

Ah Luo saw Bo Yu occasionally, the little guy was sweating, walking down the street dejectedly, occasionally clutching his belly and rubbing it lightly, that was Bo Yu's habit of being hungry. A Luo has served in the main courtyard for so many years, and she is quite familiar with Bo Yu's habits. In the past, Yizhu asked A Luo to do any errands, so A Luo knew some of Bo Yu's hobbies.

Bo Yu looked at A Luo steadily, the steamed buns given by Shen Zhi had already been digested, he would be hungry and exhausted even panting for breath, not to mention that in this hot day, he really got a little bit of heat, his little face There are some blue and white.

"Eat it!" Ah Luo stepped forward, "No one will know, I won't tell anyone."

Bo Yu's breathing became more and more rapid, and she didn't know where the strength came from. She suddenly brushed A Luo's hand away, "You are a Shenmuxi person, so you don't need to pretend to be kind, go back and tell her, even if I, Bo Yu, starve to death outside, I won't." I will eat a grain of rice from her!"

The cold cake was knocked to the ground, and the porcelain bowl was shattered to pieces.

A Luo was startled, and wanted to call Bo Yu to stop, but the kid ran away, only looking at his distressed back, A Luo didn't dare to speak again. Bo Yu's prejudice against Shen Muxi is too deep, it cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

Looking at the cold cakes scattered on the ground at his feet, A Luo sighed softly and stood up, shaking his head helplessly.

Bo Yu disappeared in the blink of an eye, and it was difficult for A Luo to chase after him, lest Wei Xian'er and Yizhu would be unfavorable to him. Thinking of this, Ah Luo hurried to the medical clinic, unexpectedly, the prince would be there. Now that you have entered the door, if you go out again, the prince will be suspicious, so it is better to go in openly.

Ah Luo saluted, "My lord!"

"So anxious, what's the matter?" Bo Yunxiu flipped through the Chinese medicine book in his hand.

Whenever there is a wooden room, there are always a few medical books. Bo Yunxiu flips through them casually when he has nothing to do. Who told that guy that if you want to understand a person's present, you can't look at it with old-fashioned eyes, you have to look at her present. What we do, what we say and what we do.

What Shen Muxi likes to eat now, what he likes to do, and how to deal with things, all need to be well remembered.

"Speak!" Shen Muxi is writing the prescription, "Even if you don't say it, the prince will find out sooner or later, it's better to save the effort of covering up than to go round and round."

"Yes!" A Luo nodded, took out the veil and put it on the table, "Following the clues given by Dr. The one in the north had some trouble recently, so it temporarily closed down, so Ah Luo thought that the nail might come from the coffin shop in the west."

Shen Muxi nodded, just put down the pen holder in his hand, raised his head, and suddenly saw that the Yintang of Bo Yunxiu was black, like a dark cloud covering the top, he hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think!"

"Looking for a coffin shop?" Bao Yunxiu looked at her coldly, "Why are you looking for a coffin shop?"

When he said this, he almost scratched her inside and out with his eyes.

"I'm not sick!" Shen Muxi said righteously, this guy wouldn't think that she wanted to buy a coffin for herself, right? Thinking of this point, it's better to explain clearly, in case he makes a fuss again, something may happen, "I'm investigating Miss Peony's death, not looking for death myself!"

Bo Yunxiu's expression softened slightly, "That's all?"

Ah Luo quickly opened the veil, revealing the coffin nails inside.

"Do you still remember the Shaoyao girl in the Rouge Building?" Shen Muxi looked at him with her chin in her hand, "It's the girl who is close to the prince and feeds wine with him, the girl who is as beautiful as a fairy! The prince has seen countless people, I am afraid I don't remember it?"

Bo Yunxiu drank tea in silence.

"She came to me, and left behind a round fan!" Shen Muxi got up, took the round fan from the cabinet, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, "Why don't you take a sniff, it still has the fragrance of the powder left by Miss Shaoyao !"

As she spoke, she handed the round fan to him.

Bao Yunxiu gave her a hard gouged look, and stretched out his hand to take her with a face as black as ink. But this woman's belongings, how could he know how to distinguish them, he held them in his hand and glanced at them, then threw them on the table, "Continue to talk."

"The clues she left, I will naturally have to see how to use them. There is a coffin nail hidden in the handle of the fan, so I asked Ah Luo to quietly find out how many coffin shops there are in the Eastern Capital City." Shen Muxi stretched out his hand to get it. The coffin nail, but Bao Yunxiu grabbed his wrist violently.

Frowning slightly, Shen Muxi looked at him puzzled.

"How dare you hide such a big matter?" His strength was slightly weak, which made her feel a little achy.

"pain!"

He let go immediately.

"What do you want to do next?" Bo Yunxiu asked.

Shen Muxi was surprised, when did he learn to negotiate? After meeting seven years later, a lot has changed. But when Zuo was in Huli Village before, he was never so talkative, he was always domineering, and he never changed his mind.

With a light sigh, Shen Muxi smiled wryly, "I'm planning to go..."

"My lord will accompany you!" Bo Yunxiu got up, grabbed her hand and walked out.

"Bo, Bo Yunxiu, I didn't say I would take you there, I..." Shen Muxi wanted to push him away, and he would pinch him here or there, but he was still the once aloof and unattainable Prince Li, He is simply a street ruffian who has become addicted to taking advantage.

Bo Yunxiu paused, "Maybe I will carry you!"

The next moment, Shen Muxi's eyes widened in astonishment, and almost as quickly as lightning, he kissed her face with a "baji".

Sure enough, this trick is the most effective.

As soon as the wrist was loosened, Shen Muxi went downstairs with a "plop" while holding the hem of the skirt.

Bao Yunxiu blushed suddenly, and stretched out his hand to touch the marks on his face, the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes instantly turned into tenderness. He took a deep breath, rubbed his hands silently, and walked down the stairs slowly.

The most surprising thing was Mi Li, who just stared at his lord as if he had seen a ghost, and saw him walking down the stairs calmly, without any intention of punishment, as if... enjoying himself?

Previously, when Concubine Wei slightly touched the prince, the prince's face would turn black for a long time. Now that Dr. Shen took the initiative to attack, the prince's appearance of enjoying himself is simply amazing!

Is the prince really possessed?

Before marrying Dr. Shen, it turned out that it was not just talk.

"Let's go!" Bo Yunxiu came down from the stairs, his face had recovered.

Shen Muxi frowned, "But you..."

"The king didn't bring any hidden guards today, just Mili alone. He didn't wear fancy clothes, so he didn't use his status as an influence." Bo Yunxiu stood with his hands behind his back, "Should we go or not?"

"Go, go!" Shen Muxi nodded repeatedly.

If you don't leave again, aren't you afraid of being carried on his shoulders again? ! This guy is now covering the sky with one hand, and can do anything.

A Luo and Yue Gui followed from a distance, looking at each other, not knowing what to do? It's really not the usual style for the prince to cling to Dr. Shen like this, it looks a little weird.

Shen Muxi panicked, always felt that this time when Bo Yunxiu returned to the palace, all kinds of behaviors were very intriguing.

From the first day she knew him, he has always had such a cold temper, he can play around with you and clean up the mess for you, but he definitely doesn't have the gentleness and sweet talk you want. He won't talk about love, and won't do anything to move you, except to be with you.

If there is wind, he blocks it.

He also blocks the rain.

Even if thousands of arrows strike, he won't even frown and protect you behind him.

But then, why did it become like that?

He had been thinking too much in his mind, and at the end of the day, Shen Muxi woke up, remembering that he was no longer Xia Wenxi, but Shen Muxi.

When he raised his head, he saw Shen Muxi suddenly froze in place.

Wing On... tea house?

The teahouse opened for business again. The familiar figure at the door was limping with a bucket, washing the couplets at the door, moving slowly but carefully.

Shen Muxi's whole heart was in pain, and his feet were as heavy as lead. He just stood quietly across the street, watching the man hunched over, carefully rubbing the stone pier under the couplets. There were tears lingering in her eyes, but they never fell, how could she have the right to cry?

Xu Shi noticed it, Xia Wenqing looked back, but saw nothing unusual, finished wiping the couplets, and limped towards the door.

Suddenly, Xia Wenqing turned around again.

This time, he finally saw the woman standing across the street, staring blankly at the door of Yong'an Tea House. This strange woman had a strange expression, and he didn't know what she was looking at?

the door?

Xia Wenqing thought for a while, then turned back to the door to look carefully, looked up and down, where was it not wiped clean?

"Ah Qing, what are you doing? Why don't you come in and check this table?" The shopkeeper shouted at the top of his voice.

"Hey, here we come!" Xia Wenqing stopped hesitating and limped in with a bucket in hand.

Shen Muxi lowered her eyes with a wry smile, when the shadows gathered above her head, she slowly raised her head, her face had returned to the original indifference. Looking up at him, she thought of her father on the guillotine, that knife seemed to be cut on her heart, it really hurt!

"Bo Yunxiu, have you ever felt guilty?" She asked hoarsely.

Bo Yunxiu looked at her fixedly, but didn't answer.

"That's all!" Shen Muxi turned around and left.

He has always been righteous, how could he be guilty? Besides, does this person really have a heart? Not sure.

"My lord, Dr. Shen, this is the place!" A Luo pointed.

This coffin shop is located in a remote place, it is a very secluded small courtyard. A person's life, no matter whether it is extremely prosperous or rich, or falls like dust, will fall to the ground in this "Sifang City", but it is still unavoidable to be regarded as bad luck. I don't know whether it is ridiculous or sad to say it.

"It's here!" Ah Luo went to knock on the door, but was stopped by Shen Muxi.

Yue Gui had good eyesight, and immediately flew up to the wall, took a rough look inside, and then nodded at Shen Muxi outside.

In this way, Shen Muxi let go of A Luo at ease, who knows what's inside, if there is any ambush, or some hidden weapon, how can I hurt A Luo?

A Luo knocked on the door for a long time, and finally a person came out of the room.

Shen Muxi and Bo Yunxiu stood shoulder to shoulder, Yue Gui and Mi Li stood by each other, fearing that something might change.

"Knock what?" The door was opened by an old man with gray hair tied back, looking quite energetic, "Hurry up to reincarnate?"

A Luo bowed, "Master, you belong to this shop..."

"Come in!" The old man glanced at everyone, turned around and walked inside.

Ah Luo was stunned, she hadn't finished speaking yet! Feeling flustered, Ah Luo looked back at Shen Muxi, a little undecided.

"It's all here." Bao Yunxiu took Shen Muxi's hand and led her inside.

Shen Muxi hadn't decided whether to go in yet, but he was taken away by him, and he couldn't help feeling flustered, "You just go in like this? Don't let Yue Gui and Mi Li leave to have a look, or..."

"Open the door to welcome the monk!" Bo Yunxiu said coldly.

Shen Muxi was confused when he heard it, but with him by his side, he felt a lot more at ease. If something happened, his martial arts skills could be used as a shield. Thinking of this, the hanging heart slowly fell back.

Turning his head, he just met someone's teasing expression on his face.

Bao Yunxiu seemed to have seen through her little thoughts, and clenched her hand even more tightly, wishing he could embed her wrist into his warm palm.

"What kind of material do you want to make? Let's see for yourself!" The old man led him into the hall, and pointed to the wood standing in the corner, "Let me know when you have chosen it!"

"Is this nail yours?" Mi Li stepped forward and spread out his palm, it was the nail wrapped in the veil.

The old man smiled strangely, "So you are here to find that thing? Okay, come along!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Mi Li opened the way ahead, and Yue returned to the rear.

The coffin shop is divided into the front hall and the backyard. There is a row of old wooden doors in the backyard. The windows of several rooms are tightly pasted with paper, and some doors and windows are in disrepair for a long time. Finally, they are sealed with wood chips and nails. firm. Walking in the corridor with the old man, the wind blows the wooden curtains on the corridor and knocks on the pillars suddenly, making a terrifying bang. Fortunately, it was daytime, if it was night, I would be scared to death. "Is this the coffin you are looking for?" The old man stepped into the door.

In the dark room, there was dappled light coming in through the broken windows, but it was not enough to drive away the gloomy atmosphere in the house. There is a strong wood fragrance in the nose, and it is not clear how many kinds of wood smells are mixed.

Bo Yunxiu's dark eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.

The house is not big, it is clear at a glance.

On the sawdust all over the floor, there are several coffins that have not been painted yet.

The old man pointed to the coffin in the center, "It's inside."

"What?" Shen Muxi asked.

"The woman said that the things are put in there, and if someone comes with a nail, let her take it away." The old man shook his head, "Oh, what a crime!"

commit a sin?

Shen Muxi didn't quite understand, A Luo was even more confused.

"What's wrong?" Ah Luo asked.

The old man pushed open the coffin lid with great effort, "Look for yourselves!"

Bo Yunxiu grabbed Shen Muxi, and Yuegui stepped forward to check first. Inside was a ceramic pot, and there were some strange little things, such as tiger-head hat, tiger-head shoes, and some small clothes.

"What is this?" A Luo was surprised, "Why are they all children's things?"

Take out all of them, and put all of them on the small square table at the side, looking so heavy that I can hardly believe my eyes.

"Aren't these all children's things?" Shen Muxi brought up Shen Zhi alone, of course he understands how much it takes to give birth to a child. Judging from the stitches of these tiger-head hats and tiger-head shoes, they are all carefully embroidered stitch by stitch. Occasionally skipped stitches are also dismantled and redone.

"Then what is this?" Yue Gui took out the ceramic jar and held it in his arms with some weight, "It seems to be something like water, I don't know what it contains."

The ceramic pot was placed on the table, and Mi Li signaled everyone to back off, standing in front of Bo Yunxiu and Shen Muxi, pinching the ear of the porcelain pot with a handkerchief, and quickly opened the pot.

Bo Yunxiu's first reaction was to hide Shen Muxi behind him, staring coldly at the opening of the jar.

There is a wisp of white smoke, slowly overflowing the mouth of the tank, and it disappears for a while.

Everyone retreated, holding their breath and concentrating.

What exactly is in here?
