Xia Chuli had just finished speaking in front of the door when he saw the candlelight flashing in the room and the door had been opened.
A familiar stern face suddenly came into view. Xiao Mubai stretched out his hand and gently pulled Xia Chu into his arms.
Han Sa and Xu Jing, who were in the distance, had their heads stretched out and their necks stretched out to peek behind the tree.
Suddenly seeing this scene, the two of them turned around at the same time.
Leaning against the tree, panting.
"Han Sa, were I dazzled just now? I saw the young master..." Xu Jing was so shocked by the scene that he couldn't say the next words.
Han Sa coughed and glanced at him: "Don't make a fuss. The young master is from the Xiao country. The folk customs in the Xiao country are quite warm. They haven't seen each other for so long. The young master is expressing his welcome."
Xu Jing said "Oh", and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was indeed what happened. He said to Han Sa as if he suddenly realized, "No wonder you jumped up to hug the young master when you saw him just now."
Han Sa was so frightened that she covered his mouth and whispered in his ear: "Don't say this nonsense in front of the young master. I was just too excited..."
Xu Jing nodded, and Han Sa put down his hand.
Xu Jing rolled her eyes at him and frowned, "Young master will leave tomorrow morning. Where can I tell you?"
"Yeah, this time it's almost a month ahead of schedule." Han Sa sighed with emotion when he heard this.
"That's right. In previous years, I would stay at least until mid-June before leaving. Did something happen to Yucheng or Chang'an?" Xu Jing looked at Han Sa and asked in confusion.
"None of them." Han Sa was also confused. Looking at Xu Jing's curious face, he pushed him away with a slap: "Hey, let's not speculate on the young master's thoughts."
When Xia Chu was pulled into Xiao Mubai's arms, her first reaction was to close the door quickly.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to push Xiao Mubai away, Xiao Mubai's low and hoarse voice sounded above her head.
"If you move again, I won't just give you a hug."
Xia Chu's hand that pushed on his chest immediately shrank and smiled: "Well, I just want to close the door."
Xiao Mubai snorted coldly and opened the door with his backhand.
"Let's get down to business first." Xia Chu poked his chest with her finger.
Xiao Mubai pinched her fingers back, wrapped his whole palm around her fist, pulled her to the back room, sat down, and then asked, "How did you get to this point?"
"I had a long conversation with Jing'er, so I wasted some time." Xia Chu said as she secretly glanced at him from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he was not suspicious, she felt reassured.
Xiao Mubai didn't know that Xia Chu was almost cheated by Yue Feng, but he was only slightly unhappy because she came back a little late.
At this time, I heard that I had a few more words with Hu Zhijing, so I stopped asking those details and got back to the point: "Have you ever asked Yuefeng Lian what you want to know?"
"That is also a fox that has become a spirit. If I ask him a question, he will ask me a question in return. He will not suffer any loss at all." Xia Chu couldn't help but curled his lips.
She felt that Yuefeng Wan was showing kindness for no reason and must have some agenda.
But he never thought that he was picturing Lan Yuying.
Xiao Mubai has an expression that says he has told you a long time ago that he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and you insist on burning it.
"But at least I know that the poison the emperor was poisoned back then was called Zhiyan, and he was brought out by a woman from the Western Region." Xia Chu held his chin with his left hand and tapped the table with his right hand.
"How can you be sure that you were hit by the flames?" Xiao Mubai asked with a frown.
"I once asked Li Xinlan and my father to tell me the symptoms of my mother's poison in detail. When I described it to Yue Feng, he told me with certainty that the name of the poison was Zhi Yan. "Xia Chu explained to Xiao Mubai.
"You must have asked him who the woman who brought poison out of the Western Region was." Xiao Mubai guessed.
Xia Chu glanced at him appreciatively and nodded, but then his eyes darkened and he sighed: "He said that this person is of great importance and can only be informed to me after the wedding."
"He has a good idea. I will ask Xu Jing to find out which woman escaped from the Western Regions that year." Xiao Mubai snorted coldly, with a hint of anger in his tone.
Xia Chu said "Huh", looked at him and asked, "How are you sure you escaped from the palace privately?"
"If he hadn't escaped privately, how could he have hidden her?" Xiao Mubai raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Xia Chu nodded when he heard this, quite agreeing with his point of view.
"I also asked him about the poison on your body, which is called ice poison. It was also brought out by that woman." Xia Chu looked solemn.
It seems that the poison that the emperor was poisoned back then and the person who poisoned Xiao Mubai came from the same person.
"You asked him if he had the antidote, and he told you that he would have to get married before he could tell you?" Xiao Mubai sneered.
"You were half right this time. I did ask him if he had an antidote. But he told me that he didn't have an antidote." Xia Chu told the truth and didn't take it seriously.
Originally, she didn't ask Yue Feng to rescue Xiao Mubai, and she recently discovered that when she first diagnosed and treated Xiao Mubai, she had a faint backlash from the ice poison.
But now, the backlash has slowly dissipated on its own.
Maybe the medicine she mixed for herself had an effect. When she had some time to think about it, she didn't believe she couldn't cure the ice poison.
"He is honest." Xiao Mubai also had a calm expression on his face. He had no antidote to what Yue Fengwan said and didn't take it to heart at all.
It would be best if he said no. If he said yes, he would be worried that Xia Chu would be manipulated by him with the antidote.
Obviously, his worries were unnecessary.
"Okay, let's get some rest early. We will go back early tomorrow morning." Xia Chu got up. The most important thing was to ask Xiao Mubai to arrange people here to find out who the woman was.
As for other things he and Yue Fengwan were discussing tonight, they could discuss them on the way.
What's more, Xiao Mubai doesn't know anything about Lan Yuying. It's useless to talk about it now. It's better to ask Old Man Lan when he returns to Zilan Mountain.
Xiao Mubai saw the tired look on her face and knew that she must have been at the mercy of the complicated engagement ceremony today, so he let her get up without asking any more questions.
Xia Chu opened the door, turned to him with a smile and said, "Xiao Mubai, see you tomorrow."
Xiao Mubai smiled and replied to her: "Achu, see you tomorrow."
As soon as Xia Chu left the room, Han Sa came up to her, took out Su Qian'an's letter, and said to her, "Master, your letter."
Xia Chu put the letter in his arms and walked to the room. He was really tired today and would be leaving tomorrow anyway.
Let’s read this letter tomorrow when we get up...
