Xiao Mubai was in high spirits when he came out of the shop, and he was even a little unfinished. Han Sa behind him was holding a pile of pattern drawings in his hands, and his face was ashen. Looking at Xiao Mubai's back, he felt bored. , I felt more and more resentful toward the shopkeeper of Xipu.
Two days later, Xiao Mubai received Xia Chu's second reply.
The letter only replied to the secret he told last time, "How long will you love me?"
Xiao Mubai laughed at this question. If it were Xu Wenlan who came back at this moment, he would probably be able to pick up the story of "until death does not change" and so on...
He frowned and thought for a while, picked up a pen and replied, then picked out some of the designs he had picked in the past two days and put them into an envelope, and then called Han Sa and handed them to him.
When Xia Chu received this letter, it was already the first day of September. He had just finished lunch with the Marquis. It was rare that Xu Wenlan did not come today. Xia Chu was finally able to talk to Lan Yuying alone about her love affairs. Secret words.
Therefore, just after finishing the meal, he couldn't wait to drag Lan Yuying back to Yunqiyuan. When he entered the room, he saw a thick letter on the table.
When Lan Yuying saw this, she even teased him: "His Royal Highness King Mo is also very good at writing. How many words did it take to write this love story so thickly?"
Xia Chu was also quite puzzled. Xiao Mubai's daily letters were not too long, mostly just a few words. Why were they so thick today
He didn't shy away from Lan Yuying, so he opened it suspiciously in front of her. After a rough flip through it, he discovered that there was only one sentence in the letter, and the rest were just tricks.
He didn't react when he saw the jade Ruyi and the big handkerchief, but he suddenly realized it when he saw the bright red phoenix crown and Xiapei, and his face suddenly turned red.
Seeing his blushing cheeks, Lan Yuying came forward and leaned on his shoulder, looked at the drawing in his hand, glanced at it and laughed out loud: "His Royal Highness Mo Wang looked cold and aloof, but it turned out that he actually I can’t wait..."
Xia Chu quickly covered the blueprint backwards, still pressing his hands on it for fear that Lan Yuying would snatch it away.
"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore, hurry up and see what His Highness King Mo wrote." Lan Yuying covered her lips to hold back laughter.
Only then did Xia Chu find the handwriting he had just tucked inside, and what came into view were seven words: Is it enough to bury you next to you
Lan Yuying leaned over again, saying just one sentence, and finished the glance in one glance. However, after finishing the glance, her face was slightly stunned, she frowned and sighed, "His Royal Highness, King Mo's proposal for marriage is really unique. This is a request." Does it mean that we live in the same quilt and die in the same acupuncture point?"
Xia Chu was holding the letter and thinking a lot. Lan Yuying only saw half of the sentence, but she didn't know that he was so surprised by what he asked Xiao Mubai before.
If they are connected, she asks: "How long will you love me?"
He replied: "Is it enough to bury you next to me?"
Lan Yuying looked at him blankly, nudged him and asked, "How are you going to respond to this?"
A sly smile appeared on the corner of Xia Chu's lips, and she walked to the desk and wrote with a pen: "In this life, you can't think of any other way to die other than dying."
Lan Yuying watched from the side as he finished the book, and clapped in amazement: "The love words you two are talking about are too cruel."
Xia Chu shrugged and sealed the letter.
"Hey, I haven't chosen any tricks yet..." Seeing that he was about to send him away, Lan Yuying hurriedly called out.
Xia Chu's hand when folding the envelope froze, and Lan Yuying pulled him towards the drawing table: "Why are you ashamed of me? If you don't want me to help you choose, who else can you turn to for this matter?"
Xia Chu wasn't ashamed at all, he had just forgotten about this, but when he heard what Lan Yuying said, he started to choose with her generously, and even said to her while flipping through the drawings: "It just so happens that you should take a look, too. , do you have a favorite style? It sounds like you should use it earlier than me."
This time, it was Lan Yuying who blushed...
The two of them were laughing and choosing in the room, and it was only during dinner time that the letter was handed over to Jiang Yan for delivery.
Xia Chu originally planned to take Lan Yuying to the palace after dinner, and pick up Xiao Muhong to go out for a walk together.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the meal, Cong Ting came in and informed Xia Chu: "There is someone outside the door looking for you."
Xia Chu raised his eyebrows, and the Marquis said next to him: "Who is he?"
Cong Ting's face was complicated: "The person who came said... is your student."
Fortunately, the mouthful of soup Xia Chu drank was swallowed before that. He knew that if it was not an emergency, he would not come in person. He immediately pushed the bowl and chopsticks and had someone take him to Yunqiyuan to wait and tell the Marquis. After saying goodbye, he rushed to the courtyard.
When Xia Chu opened the door, Xiang Chengfang was already waiting inside, pacing back and forth. When he saw him, he bowed and called: "Master."
Xia Chu frowned and motioned for him to sit down and talk: "What's the matter?"
Xiang Chengfang pursed his lips and muttered for a long time but stopped talking.
When Xia Chu saw his appearance, he exclaimed with a worried look on his face: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Xiang Chengfang gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong with the dragon body."
Xia Chu frowned more and more: "When did you find out? What are the symptoms?"
Xiang Chengfang explained in detail: "The students just discovered it and came here in a hurry. Recently, when I asked the ladies in various palaces for Ping'an pulse, I heard them complain that they hadn't seen the emperor for a long time. I had nothing to do today and looked through the records. The emperor has not summoned any empress to attend his bed in the past month. This has never happened before. So I went to look through the medication records of the emperor. After all, He was the one who invited the emperor's dragon veins, but I found that he only used medicinal herbs for hemoptysis. I panicked, so I came to the Marquis Mansion to find you."
Xia Chu held his chin with his left hand and tapped the table with his right hand.
The emperor in the previous life was seriously ill and was able to let Xiao Yanjun take control of the government. However, it was not so fast in terms of time. He was imprisoned by Xiao Yanjun and never saw the emperor.
Therefore, he did not know what kind of emergency the emperor had that made him so critically ill.
In the previous life, the emperor's body was taken care of by Zhuo Xiande. Now the grass on Zhuo Xiande's grave is several feet high and we can't ask him. At that time, Xia Chu was in Hanyang, and it was not convenient for Bingwen to ask. From this point of view, There are no clues to be found.
Xiang Chengfang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Seeing that Xia Chu was still tapping the table rhythmically and calmly, he couldn't hold himself back and called out: "Master?"
Xia Chu raised her eyes and saw him looking at her nervously and expectantly. She signaled him not to worry and then asked, "What is the name of the current envoy?"
"Yuan Guangyi." Xiang Chengfang replied very quickly. After he finished speaking, he looked at Xia Chu eagerly, waiting for him to continue questioning.
Xia Chu nodded, finally stopped tapping on the table, but stood up to see off the guests, and said to him: "You go back first, and tomorrow you will secretly check if there are any differences in the ingredients of the emperor's recent meals, and if there are any other Don't let anyone find out that you are checking, I will find a way to enter the palace tomorrow and have a look."
