Xia Chu was held in Xiao Mubai's arms, and the faint fragrance of plum blossom tea could still be smelled from his neck.
The whispers in her ears, accompanied by Xiao Mubai's warm breath touching Xia Chu's auricles, made her body soften. She put her hands on Xiao Mubai's waist and used her remaining strength to Pushing forward with a little strength, Xiao Mubai chuckled, but he remained motionless like a rock.
Xia Chu coughed slightly, feeling that she was becoming more and more useless now. She was just surrounded by him, and even her breathing was a little stagnant. She hurriedly found an excuse: "I'm thirsty."
Xiao Mubai took back his right hand, turned it half a circle, and leaned against the door. He watched Xia Chu's cheeks turn red and took a few quick breaths before walking to the table and pouring a cup of herbal tea and drinking it in one gulp.
Xia Chu drank three cups of herbal tea in succession, and then she realized that the spiritual platform had regained its clarity. She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Mubai, and found that he was crossing his chest with his hands, tall and tall, and uninhibitedly bending his left leg, just standing there. , there is something indescribably chic and suave.
Xia Chu angrily poured another cup of herbal tea. Why was her face red, ears red, and breathing stagnant, but the instigator was leisurely watching the show gracefully.
Xia Chu looked at the refilled cup of herbal tea on the table, looking miserable.
"There is no symptom of being unable to sleep at night that a bowl of sleeping soup cannot solve." After she finished speaking, she raised her head towards Xiao Mubai and raised her chin. Seeing his tight lips slightly parted, she quickly added: "If Yes, then two bowls."
When Xiao Mubai watched her finish her words, he stretched out two fingers and waved them gently, smiled narrowly and said to her: "Miracle Doctor Xia can cure the symptoms of insomnia, but he can't cure this heart disease." Other symptoms.”
Xia Chu's face was full of disbelief, and he clasped his hands behind his back: "His Royal Highness, King Mo, would you like to hear something?"
Xiao Mubai suppressed his joking expression and walked towards Xia Chu casually. His long hair was like a waterfall, his eyes were narrow and he opened his red lips to her with intoxicating affection: "Two trees are not a forest, there is a heart in the field."
Xia Chu's face was startled, and when she realized what she was doing, her cheeks were dizzy again. She lowered her head and bowed her hands to him in admiration: "It's because I'm not good at studying..."
Xiao Mubai sat down next to her and sipped the cup of herbal tea on the table from the cup she had just drank from.
Xia Chu still maintained the posture of cupping her hands and clasping her fists, her ears turned red, and she muttered: "Your love words are all taught by Xu Wenlan?"
Xiao Mubai put down the cup in his hand, looked up at him with a calm expression, stretched out his hand to cover her cupped fist, and wrapped it with his broad palm. He held her fist and pulled it down. Xia Chu couldn't help but lean down just in time. Make eye contact with him.
"I like you, not words of love, but words from the heart." Xiao Mubai's eyes were clear, but there was an air of determination that could not be questioned.
There was a slight dimple between Xia Chu's cheeks, and she sat down next to him. She leaned her head on his arm meekly and said, "Hmm," and rubbed her cheek gently: "I know."
Her cheeks were already burning hot in early summer. The weather in early July was still hot, and her clothes were still thin. There was a thin layer of satin on her cheeks, which made Xiao Mubai's whole arm feel hot.
The scorching heat was like burning clouds filling the sky, hitting his face directly.
Xiao Mubai drank all the herbal tea he just took a sip to calm down his wandering thoughts, and then asked about the business: "Have you been to Cui Xuhong's mansion today?"
Xia Chu nodded and inadvertently rubbed his arm again.
Xiao Mubai hissed, looked at Xia Chu who didn't know anything, and pinched his brows helplessly.
"I was at his mansion today, and I bumped into Jing Qibin returning to his mansion with him." Xia Chu remembered it and mentioned it casually.
"They probably don't want Min Zhisong to take the position of prime minister, so it doesn't matter." The six departments were working on their own. It turned out that because of Du Hanfei, Min Zhisong was invisibly more arrogant than them, which made them feel uncomfortable. Yue, seeing that he has a high voice now, if he is really allowed to become the prime minister, it will not be invisible, but the serious official level will crush people to death.
The stakes involved can be clearly understood by Xiao Mubai with a little thought.
"I have already made an agreement with Cui Xuhong. When the emperor takes over Lord Ju's position as prime minister, he will recommend to the emperor the vacant post of Minister of Rites." Xia Chu put his arms around his arms and changed his position. Position, rest your chin on it, a pair of eyes are as bright as a spring, and the eyes are flowing, and the autumn water is flowing.
Xiao Mubai lowered his eyelids and sighed: "Achu, if you continue to look like this, the business tonight will have to be put on hold."
Xia Chu snorted, but her eyes moved down to look at his slender fingers with distinct knuckles. While comparing the size of his palms with his, he asked, "How was your court today?"
Xiao Mubai endured the numbness in his palms and said in a hoarse voice: "Whether the words of the Marquis have any weight depends on whether the emperor will make up his mind in the next few days."
Xia Chu was not worried at all about the weight of the Marquis's words. Instead, she remembered her conversation with Raven in the afternoon. She was still playing with his palm wantonly, then she squeezed it tightly and straightened up again. , his face became solemn: "I asked Raven a little about Lingmen today. The assassination six years ago, Lingmen was the group of Jianghu people you mentioned."
Xiao Mubai was shaken by her tight grip at first, but then he was struck by her words, and the coffin suddenly became clear. Then his face became stern, and he frowned and said in confusion: "Back then, Zhong Guo had carefully After investigating the origins of that group of people, it was determined that they were from an assassination organization. Later, there were rumors in the world that all the Sixteen Blades were killed overnight. We all thought that they failed in the assassination and were silenced. It turned out that it was not them, but Lingmen. ?"
Xia Chu snorted: "The Sixteen Blades Hall was picked by Raven alone. Besides, the Sixteen Blades Hall died before assassinating you, so the time doesn't match up."
There was a hint of surprise on Xiao Mubai's face: "The Lingmen organization was not discovered back then. Zhong Guo's analysis made us think it was reasonable, so we didn't think much about it."
Xia Chu nodded in agreement. If he hadn't saved Raven by chance, until now, they wouldn't have known that there was an assassination organization called Lingmen in the world: "Raven said that Lingmen only took over two cases related to the imperial court. assassination. One was you six years ago, and the other was Xiao Zimu not long ago. Do you think it could be the same person? "
The person who assassinated Xiao Zimu was Du Hanfei, but Du Hanfei had nothing to do with the assassination of him six years ago. Xiao Mubai shook his head after thinking about it.
Xia Chu's hand that had been holding his suddenly tightened, and Xiao Mubai suddenly frowned. The two looked at each other and said at the same time: "Unless..."
