The lilies, crape myrtle, tulips, cannas in the yard of Nongmeiju...
Being scorched by a fiery sun hanging high in the sky.
The midsummer wind, mixed with a little heat wave, pushed over, and the air was filled with a sweet and intoxicating atmosphere.
Xiao Mubai put one hand around Yingying's slender waist and whispered in her ear, "Ah Chu, your room is over there..."
Xiao Mubai's chin hung on Xia Chu's fragrant shoulder.
When he lowered his head to joke, the stubble inadvertently rubbed against his shoulders, causing a faint sting and numbness.
Xia Chu bent her arm, pushed her elbow backwards, and pressed it against Xiao Mubai's chest.
He let go slightly in pain, and Xia Chu's figure flashed and was already five steps away. She said to him harshly: "I just walked there on purpose to get some water."
Xiao Mubai clicked his tongue, looked up and down, and said with a sarcastic smile: "You are so rude. If you want to pretend to be a princess, you have to be sent to the palace to learn etiquette."
Xia Chu was walking towards his house and looked back with a smile when he heard this.
Place your right hand on top of your left hand and make a fist with both hands in the center of your abdomen.
He took a step back with his right foot, bent his knees slightly, nodded, lowered his eyebrows, leaned down slightly, and bowed to Xiao Mubai.
Seeing his surprised look, I felt proud.
He turned around and walked back to the house with graceful steps.
Xiao Mubai was surprised because what he had just done at the beginning of Xia Dynasty was a ritual performed in the Liang Kingdom Palace, and it was an exemplary and extremely standard way of doing it.
Xia Chu was proud because in his previous life, when he was studying palace rules with Concubine Qi, he pestered her to tell her about the customs and customs of the Liang Kingdom, and he also learned the etiquette here.
I didn't expect that I had no chance to use it in my previous life, but now I have a chance to show off in front of Xiao Mubai.
When she changed back into men's clothes and came out, she saw Han Sa standing at the door waiting, and saw Xia Chu coming out and respectfully handing over a letter.
There are three letters in total, one of which was written by Bian Ding himself, detailing how he was brutally abused and how his life was worse than death every day.
The second letter was from Xiao Zimu. The letter told some interesting things along the way and the date when he was about to arrive in Guwan.
The third letter was from Bingwen. The letter explained the whole story of Huo Tianyang's case, Zhao Xingwen's return to Beijing, and Xiao Yanjun's wedding procession had already set off.
Xia Chu asked Han Sa to wait while he went back to the house to reply to the letter.
She first asked Bian Ding to persist for more than a month. As for Xiao Zimu, he counted the days and should have arrived in Guwan. As long as he followed the instructions and entered the city in disguise, he should have discovered what should be discovered.
The rest still depends on how he decides.
Furthermore, he wrote back and asked him to arrange some people.
Finally, he wrote back a letter to Bingwen, asking him to entertain Zhao Xingwen well. As for the return date he asked about, it would probably have to be postponed to the end of summer and early autumn.
Regarding Huo Tianyang's case, Xia Chu was still a little uneasy at first.
I don't know how Xiao Yanjun learned this secret in his previous life, dug out the bones, and took Xia Chu's corpse for examination.
At that time, Xia Chu saw the injuries after death and told Xiao Yanjun.
Xiao Yanjun used coercion and inducement to coerce Zhuo Xiande, and finally tampered with the emperor's medicinal diet.
Of course, Xia Chu was the last to know this.
In this life, the skeleton was discovered too quickly.
Presumably Xiao Yanjun doesn't know about this yet.
Therefore, Xia Chu did not ask Bingwen to pry Zhuo Xiande's mouth.
He only told Bingwen the cause of Huo Tianyang's death, but Yao Meizhen's hidden secret was beyond his expectation.
Originally, he was worried that if Zhuo Xiande refused to plead guilty, he would ask Su Qian'an to bring some chestnuts from his room to Bingwen.
Unexpectedly, Bingwen found a breakthrough on his own, which made him worry in vain.
Xia Chu packed the three letters one after another and handed them to Han Sa when he went out.
Seeing Xiao Mubai walking out of the house, the two of them looked at each other and walked towards each other.
"Let's have lunch at the mansion. The palace came to ask me to come to the palace." Xiao Mubai gently picked up the petals that fell on Xia Chu's shoulders and said warmly.
"Oh? Then just take me into the palace with you. Let me be a fake princess quickly so that I can approach Yue Fengwan openly." Xia Chu said as he walked with him.
Xiao Mubai flicked his fingers, causing a violent shiver on Xia Chu's forehead.
It's just that compared to usual, the strength was only about one-tenth or two-tenths. He said with a cold face: "Don't rely on your good medical skills to be lawless. Yue Feng can save this person..."
"I know. Yesterday Han Sa told me carefully about Yue Fengwan, a man who killed kings and fathers, and was ruthless." Xia Chu interrupted him with a hint of impatience.
"You know how to pick people to ask, but he tells you everything." After Xiao Mubai finished speaking, he glanced back. Han Sa, who was following far behind, had a burning gaze.
Han Sa was suddenly glanced at by Xiao Mubai's eyes, and couldn't help but feel frightened. She didn't know what she had done wrong.
"What do you mean by this?" Xia Chu asked with raised eyebrows.
"When I first entered the Liang Kingdom, I sent him to carefully inquire about the news in the Western Regions. If you catch him and ask, you are asking the right person." What Xiao Mubai did not say was that he sent three groups of people to investigate in batches. .
There were ten people in each group, and only Han Sa came back in the end.
"No wonder, when I talked about the secrets of the royal family in the Western Regions, how could he know it in such detail?" Xia Chu nodded, suddenly understanding.
"You see, my people treat you as half a master." Xiao Mubai looked at him sideways, with a hint of asking for reward in his tone.
Xia Chu rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Didn't you drug my people into King Mo's army?"
"It was obviously your own medicine." Xiao Mubai refused, turning his face away and raising his chin lightly.
"That's not what you forced me to do." Xia Chu refused, with a hint of coquettishness.
"It's too late for them to come now, so don't worry about it." Xiao Mubai listened to her coquettishness and raised his hand to tease her chin.
When Han Sa saw this, he simply stopped where he was. Fortunately, the food and wine had already been prepared and placed in the pavilion, otherwise what would happen if the servants saw this scene.
Xia Chu opened his hand and was about to scold him.
But he saw the sun shining through the dense leaves and hitting Xiao Mubai's beautiful and flawless face.
He was wearing a light blue brocade robe today. He was no longer wearing black robes day after day. He looked more refreshing and elegant, and his ink-dyed hair fluttered in the breeze.
An extremely handsome face, with a romantic and playful smile, affectionate eyes, and meaningful brows.
The aura of indifference, alienation, and rejection of people thousands of miles away has faded away.
Under the scorching sun, Xiao Mubai had a different grace and grace, like a picturesque scroll made of splashes of ink between heaven and earth, which made Xia Chu slightly stunned.
For a moment, I couldn't tell the difference.
His eyes were stung by the scorching sun, or he was distracted.
