After the Marquis, General Zhao and Huo Tianxiu left the imperial study, the emperor allowed Eunuch Li to temporarily send Princess Yirou's body to the ice cellar in Dali Temple for preservation.
After the morning court, Xiao Zimu invited Xiao Mubai to Yongning Hall for breakfast.
After all, both of them had not slept all night and had not eaten a grain of rice. Xiao Mubai declined the good offer and wanted to go back to the house. Xiao Zimu did not stay much, and the two parted ways at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Xiao Zimu returned to Yongning Hall. Xin Ya asked the maid to serve breakfast. While waiting, Xiao Zimu went to the study room and opened the door. He walked to the chair in the back room and sat down. He originally wanted to After flipping through the book, he couldn't keep his eyes open, so he put his forehead on his forehead and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, Xin Ya called out: "Your Highness, breakfast is ready. Do you want to use it in the study or outside?" ?”
Once the sleepiness hit him, it was so overwhelming that he didn't even want to eat breakfast at the moment, he just wanted to go to bed and go to bed.
"Bring it in and use it." Xiao Zimu couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, and after speaking, he managed to open his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he realized something was wrong. Xiao Zimu suddenly woke up and stared at the lamp on the case carefully.
Xin Ya had already placed the meal on the table outside. Seeing that he hadn't come out yet, he walked into the inner room and found that he was looking at the lamp on the table again. He couldn't help but sigh and persuaded: "Your Highness, stop looking, hurry up." Come and have some breakfast and rest early."
Xiao Zi raised his eyes at him and said solemnly, "This light is wrong."
"Huh?" Xin Ya walked closer after hearing this and took a closer look at the green bamboo lantern: "Your Highness, what's different? Isn't this still the same green bamboo lantern?"
"I once left the word 'zi' under the bamboo picture on the lamp, but this one doesn't have it." Xiao Zimu frowned, leaving aside the fact that he had left the word "zi" in his own handwriting. Just seeing this bamboo picture, he knew that it was not the word "zi" before. The one given to him by Xia Chu.
He had seen and touched that green bamboo lamp countless times. The shape, thickness, and position of the bamboo on it could be drawn exactly the same by him now with his eyes closed.
If he hadn't been too familiar with the green bamboo lamp, he wouldn't have been able to tell at a glance that the lamp had been replaced.
"I'm going to investigate right now." Xin Ya's expression also changed.
"Xin Ya." Xiao Zimu called to his back: "Be quiet, don't make any noise, and don't alert others."
Xin Ya responded and stepped back. Xiao Zimu mentioned the green bamboo lantern and pondered, who could it be
What is the purpose...
Xiao Mubai, who parted ways with Xiao Zimu at the entrance of the Palace of Supreme Harmony, saw Han Sa driving a carriage waiting opposite the palace gate.
Han Sa saw Xiao Mubai and immediately came up to him.
"You're the one who complained to me about not taking medicine?" Xiao Mubai glanced at him from the corner of his eye and scolded him as he walked towards the carriage.
"How can that not be possible? The young master took the initiative to ask. I am not allowed to tell the truth." Han Sa looked aggrieved.
Xiao Mubai snorted coldly: "What did he do yesterday?"
Han Sa's eyes wandered: "This..."
Xiao Mubai stopped beside the carriage and looked at him with a displeased look on his face, with a hint of anger in his tone: "What the hell? I just said whatever I asked you hesitantly."
"Then..." Han Sa was a little submissive.
Seeing this, Xiao Mubai's face became more and more displeased, and his tone was really angry: "What about this and that? When did you not even know how to speak?"
Han Sa coughed slightly and stretched out his index finger to point in the direction behind him.
Xiao Mubai turned around and saw a romantic young man with a frivolous smile. His chin was slightly raised, and in the middle of his apricot-shaped eyes, there was the bright light of the galaxy.
Wearing a blue satin robe, with white moire trim exposed inside, a jade belt tied around the waist, and a plum blossom suet jade hairpin on her head, the pink plum blossom hairpin glowed light red under the reflection of the morning light. The new pistil made the young man's already beautiful face look even brighter.
Xiao Mubai coughed lightly, patted Han Sa lightly on the shoulder, turned to face him and asked, "Achu, why are you here."
Han Sa grimaced in pain and dared not make a sound. Can you blame him
The prince didn't even give him a chance to say it...
"Come and report to His Highness King Mo personally what I did yesterday." Xia Chu raised his eyebrows with a hint of joking.
"A Chu..." Xiao Mubai called softly, and Han Sa couldn't help but tremble, silently taking a few steps back before turning around and walking towards the driving position in front.
Xia Chu glanced at him angrily, sighed, and stretched out her hand to him.
Xiao Mubai raised a smile on his lips, put his hand on his, and climbed on with a little help, and the two of them entered the carriage one after another.
"If you don't let Xiang Chengfang enter the palace to deliver medicine, I will remember to drink it." Xiao Mubai took the lead in explaining, blocking his mouth when he was about to have an attack.
"Do you know that this medicine cannot be broken in one day. If it is broken, the effect of the ice poison in your body will erode the effect of the blood, and then there will really be no way to save the day." Bai Ruofei once told him, once Start using the heart blood as medicine, and then you have to continue it for a month, without stopping for a day.
Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted, and this method will never be used again.
If it was something else, Xia Chu wouldn't come here to vent his anger.
But today, if he hadn't come to the palace gate to block the situation, after Xiao Mubai returned home and took a nap, he wouldn't know where he would be.
Xiao Mubai saw that he was really angry, his almond-shaped eyes widened, and his body was still trembling slightly. He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, coaxing in a gentle voice: "I will remember it."
Xia Chu struggled for a while but didn't break away, so he didn't waste any effort and simply rested his head on his shoulder: "I don't care if you remember it or not, there are still half a month, and I have to watch you take medicine every day."
Hearing this, Xiao Mubai's lips curved into a smile, and he put his chin on her forehead and said, "My king, I wish you nothing more."
Xia Chu rolled her eyes and remembered that he couldn't see from this angle, so she bumped his chest with her elbow. Xiao Mubai groaned and loosened his hold on her, as if in pain.
Xia Chu curled his lips and mocked: "Don't pretend to be in front of a miracle doctor..."
Xiao Mubai lowered his eyelids and turned his eyes slightly. After a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I am hungry, why are you pretending?"
Xia Chu's eyes flashed and she clapped her hands: "I forgot."
After speaking, she took out the food box from the base and handed it to Xiao Mubai: "It's been a long time since I made food for you."
Xiao Mubai didn't expect that his impromptu joke was actually true. He happily took the food box from her hand and opened it. A familiar fragrance of plum blossoms spread out, and there were exquisitely carved food inside. some pastries and a small pot of still warm tea.
Xiao Mubai picked up a piece and took a bite, his eyes lit up: "Plum blossom cake?"
