After hearing Wuma Huacai's words, Xia Chu's face turned pale and he was obviously extremely shocked. He even opened his mouth and murmured for a long time before asking: "Are you talking about Su Qianle?"
Wuma Huacai looked impatient, lowered his head and continued to draw: "I don't know, Mo Xiang always calls her Miss Su."
Xia Chu rubbed her hands and turned her eyes: "Is she the girl who likes to wear pink skirts?"
Wuma Huacai didn't even pause the pen in his hand: "I don't know, I haven't seen him outside."
Xia Chu held her head against the pain, and it happened that Mo Xiang came to serve tea at this time. Xia Chu took the tea cup and asked her, "Su Qianle really comes here often?"
Mo Xiang looked stunned and nodded.
The corner of Xia Chu's mouth twitched, and she raised her chin towards Wuma Hua, who was immersed in drawing: "Have you been rejected by him all the time?"
Mo Xiang laughed awkwardly and nodded again. After thinking for a while, she finally spoke: "Although Ms. Su was rejected every time, the soup she made was sent here without interruption."
Xia Chu let out a breath, and the veins on his forehead twitched. He was really sweating for Su Qianle. He finally let go of him. How come he fell in love with Wuma Huacai in a blink of an eye
He looked at Wuma Huacai up and down, and asked, what did she like about Wuma Huacai
Just when Xia Chu was sighing, Wuma Hua finally put down his pen, straightened up and looked at him: "Why are you here?"
Before Xia Chu could recover from the shock, Mo Xiang beside him gently tugged on his sleeve, and he was shocked to realize that Wuma Hua had already walked to the table and was looking at him with his chin in his hand.
Xia Chu asked Mo Xiang to retreat, walked to him and sat down next to him: "I just saw that the lights in your courtyard were on, come and take a look."
Wuma Hua raised his eyebrows: "I see you look quite melancholy."
"Uh." Xia Chu rolled his eyes and began to make up a story again: "I have a friend from a wealthy family..."
Wumahua nodded and responded: "Oh, friend, is it the same one as last time, friend?"
Xia Chu looked awkward, then laughed awkwardly: "What a coincidence, it's true."
Wuma Huacai said "Oh", which was meaningful.
Xia Chu ignored his teasing and continued: "An elder in his family was poisoned, but he mistakenly thought he was ill. My friend doesn't know whether to investigate secretly or tell the truth."
Wuma Huacai raised his eyebrows again: "That's it?"
Xia Chu'ah? ’ he said with confusion on his face.
"Why can't we do both at the same time and we have to choose one?" Wuma Huacai asked.
"At the same time...?" Xia Chu chewed his words again.
Wuma Hua nodded and said matter-of-factly: "If you don't tell this elder, how can he cooperate with your friend to catch the person behind the poison? Even if you detoxify him this time, there will be another time. .”
Because of many scruples, Xia Chu couldn't always simplify things as he saw them.
Therefore, every time I finish chatting with him, I always feel like I have an epiphany.
"If you become a monk in the future, you will definitely be an eminent monk who can enlighten the world." Xia Chu was awakened by his words, no longer entangled, his expression relaxed, and he started joking.
"That's not possible. I still have to pass on the incense and continue my heirs." Wuma Hua said so seriously that Xia Chu, who was drinking tea, sprayed it out...
Wuma Hua frowned and wiped the tea stains on his body. Although he had avoided it very quickly, he still got some stardust on it.
Xia Chu laughed awkwardly and then coughed: "In that case, why are you avoiding Miss Su?"
Wuma Huacai said with a solemn face: "I don't like taking the initiative."
Xia Chu looked at the tea cup in his hand. Fortunately, he didn't drink this sip, otherwise he would have sprayed it out again...
He thought in his mind that when he had time, it would be better to persuade Su Qianle to find someone else to like him. Although Wuma Huacai was talented, if he stayed with him for the rest of his life, he would probably piss him off sooner or later. That was not the case. A considerate man…
Xia Chu stayed in Wuma Huacai's room until midnight and then returned to Yunqiyuan. Early the next morning, he was sleepy and struggled to wake up Li Xinlan to get up and wash up.
Li Xinlan came in with a noodle tray, and felt very distressed when she saw his face that looked like he had not woken up: "I slept so late last night, why don't I sleep a little more today."
Xia Chu pinched her eyebrows: "Hurry up, Aunt Li, I have to go to the palace."
Li Xinlan didn't know what to say, so she could only quickly help him dress and tie his hair. After everything was sorted, she shook his shoulders and said, "Okay."
Xia Chu opened her eyes while half asleep, got up and went out, taking the raven with her to the palace.
The young eunuch in front of the royal study room remembered who he was this time, and greeted him with a smile when he saw him coming: "The young marquis is here, or is it Tie Guanyin?"
Xia Chu pointed at him with a praising look on his face: "You are smart."
The young eunuch smiled flatteringly and said, "I will prepare it for you right now."
Xia Chu nodded, then opened the door and entered the imperial study.
He got up a little late today, and the eunuch's tea hadn't been served yet. When he walked in, the emperor had already returned from the court. He originally wanted to take a second look at the portrait, but obviously he had no chance.
The emperor was quite surprised when he saw that he came alone this time. He said jokingly: "You inherit your father's legacy. Are you here to make a living again?"
Xia Chu greeted him with a smile: "The emperor even asked me to come and walk around yesterday."
The emperor smiled and nodded: "I hope you will come every day. Why did you enter the palace alone today?"
Xia Chu pursed her lips: "Chu'er has something to tell the emperor."
After the emperor ordered Eunuch Li to pass on the meal, he turned to look at him disapprovingly and said, "Just say whatever you want, and I can reward you."
Xia Chu opened his mouth, then swallowed it back: "Let's talk about it after we finish our meal."
The emperor laughed loudly: "I am sorry to say anything."
Xia Chu smiled awkwardly and changed the subject, and then asked him whether he slept well last night, whether he had night sweats, whether he had many dreams, etc. The emperor who spoke bluntly felt that he was nagging him so he stopped.
After Eunuch Li presented the breakfast, Xia Chu didn't have much appetite. On the contrary, the emperor had a good appetite and used a lot of it. Seeing Xia Chu'er's expression of not knowing how to eat, he pushed the bowl and chopsticks and said with a fond smile: "This rice has been used up. Just tell Chu'er what you want. You don't have to be polite to me."
Xia Chu waited until the leftover soup was removed and took another sip of tea. Then she took the emperor's arm and walked towards the inner room and whispered: "Your Majesty, Chu'er doesn't want anything. I just hope you won't get angry after hearing this."
The emperor frowned slightly after hearing this. He realized that the matter was not simple, and his expression hardened: "You tell me."
Xia Chu walked with him to the chair and sat down. He stood next to him and said, "Lalan Lan told me yesterday after returning home that your Majesty was not ill, but in fact was poisoned..."
