When Xu Wenlan was scolded by Xia Chu, he was not angry but happy. He laughed and praised, "Yes, yes, I'm in a hurry."
Xia Chu rolled her eyes at him and told him again: "Remember what I said."
"Yes, yes, I will hide her when I get home." Xu Wenlan nodded frequently and responded repeatedly. This sentence was extremely sincere, and it was really his heart's wish...
Xia Chu didn't want to waste time, so she hugged Lan Yuying and whispered in her ear: "You can live in peace for now until I'm done with this period of time."
Xu Wenlan gritted her teeth and endured it. After he let go, she said, "Let's go quickly."
Xia Chu ordered Raven to send them out of the house, and walked towards Hengwu Garden.
Cong Ting led him to the study. When the Marquis saw him, he said bitterly: "Hey, you finally remember me as your biological father."
Xia Chu has a headache. He has been in the palace more frequently these days. There are rumors in the palace that it is a pity that Xia Chu is the son of a marquis. If he is a prince, he must be the best choice for the prince based on the emperor's love. .
This rumor reached the ears of the Marquis, and the emperor was also acting out with Xia Chu about being seriously ill. Although the Marquis knew that the emperor was faking it, no one knew what they were doing. I didn't tell him, so he naturally drank some vinegar.
"Aren't I clinging to the emperor's body and treating him secretly?" Xia Chu said with a smile on his face.
"Others don't know how the Emperor is doing, so why don't I know?" The Marquis pretended to be angry, thinking he was looking for an excuse.
"No, Your Majesty, although it's not as serious as it seems, it's not all over yet." Xia Chu defended.
The Marquis clicked his tongue: "How long have you been looking at whether your medical skills are good or not?"
…
Xia Chu pinched the center of his brows and thought to himself, my dad, my medical skills are not good. Apart from Bai Ruofei, no one else in the world is qualified...
Speaking of which, the emperor's poison was really weird. Xia Chu always lacked the red medicine. He tried a lot of rare medicinal materials and even took a little blood once, but it was of no use.
There is no cure except suppression.
Therefore, he shyly asked Yue Fengwan for a favor today.
Now, he doesn't have to worry about this matter. Since Yuefengwan promised him, he will tell him the antidote after finding out the authenticity, so he can just wait.
The Marquis saw that he had lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, thinking that he had just criticized his poor medical skills and had hit him. He coughed lightly and asked kindly, "What's the matter? Why are you here to see me?"
Xia Chu collected his thoughts and raised his head. Being interrupted by the Marquis, he had forgotten the business of finding him in Hengwu Courtyard: "Dad, seventeen or eight years ago, do you have any impressions of the Miao Family Incense Shop in Beijing? "
The Marquis frowned and thought for a while, and after a moment he clapped his hands and said, "Let me just say that the sachet you gave me on New Year's Eve, apart from the expensive spices, I still feel that there is something familiar about it. That year, a fragrance shop became famous in Beijing. I I thought my daughter's family would like this kind of thing, so I sent someone to buy some for your mother."
Xia Chu's eyes lit up: "What happened next?"
The Marquis looked a little confused: "There will be no future."
Xia Chu tilted his head, looking confused.
"Your mother doesn't like these things that ordinary women like. She even disliked the sachet as it would confuse her identification of herbs, so she threw it aside." The Marquis had a helpless and doting smile on his face. .
Xia Chu touched his nose. It seemed that he had inherited a lot from his mother. At least he was not a gentle and virtuous woman, and he didn't know anything about female celebrities. If the emperor knew that he was actually a woman, I'm afraid that sentence If he said he looked like the Marquis and was not like Lan Sheng, he would have to take it back.
"Where's that incense shop?" Xia Chu asked.
"Your mother doesn't like those things. How can I pay attention to them? I don't know when I closed the door." The Marquis waved his hand.
"Isn't it strange that no one in Beijing finds it strange that the shop suddenly closed down despite being so famous?" Xia Chu asked in confusion. Just like Mingxiang Garden was very prosperous now, if it suddenly closed its doors at this moment, Beijing would also discuss it. Ichiban.
"The store owner said he was going back to his hometown, so naturally no one thought it was strange. At most, they just sighed." Mr. Hou shook his head and didn't think much about it.
"Did you listen to what the store said?" Xia Chu stood up excitedly. Is it possible that the Marquis and Lan Xilin have met before
"You bastard, do you want to scare your father to death?" Mr. Hou was startled by his overreaction. He patted his heart, saw him smiling awkwardly and came over to rub his shoulders before he continued, "I didn't hear that from the store owner himself. , but that’s what the common people in Beijing said at that time.”
Xia Chu was a little disappointed and thoughtful, and the hand rubbing his shoulders stopped unconsciously.
The Marquis turned to look at him: "What happened to you today? What's the problem with that incense shop?"
After Xia Chu thought about it for a while, he still suspected that the mistress of the incense shop was Lan Yuying's mother, the woman in the portrait in the Song Dynasty painting in the emperor's study room.
The reason why he told Mr. Hou was because the matter was difficult to find out.
If we go by what Gan Jin said, the people in the Miao Family Incense Shop were taken away by the imperial army. No matter how bad it was, it was official officials. There were so many official officials. It has been so long. It is still unknown whether the person who led the case was still alive. .
At least the Marquis knew more about the people who held the troops back then than Bingwen did. The roads in the palace were naturally much wider than Bingwen's. We still had to count on the Marquis to help with this matter.
Therefore, he told the story exactly as it was, including the matter of sending Lan Yuying to the Xu Mansion. He just hid Yuefengwan and Lan Xilin, and made up a random reason, saying that Mrs. Xu invited Lan Yuying came over to discuss how to cultivate orchids.
At this time, the Marquis was shocked by the incident involving Lan Yuying's mother. His mind was filled with that portrait, and he couldn't care less about whether it was inappropriate for her to live in the Xu Mansion at this moment.
In addition, Xia Chu has always been very creative in doing things, so he naturally has his reasons.
Therefore, when he heard the reason why Mrs. Xu was so perfunctory about Xia Chu's move, Mr. Hou did not expose it. After listening to Xia Chu's words, he paced back and forth for a long time. The two discussed it and decided that the worst and greatest possibility was , all pointed directly at the emperor...
First of all, the emperor must know Lan Yuying’s mother.
Secondly, the emperor was very shy about mentioning it.
There must be some dispute among them...
Xia Chu rubbed his head. If Bai Ruofei hadn't said that he was destined to be his master and apprentice in this life and would not allow him to return to Zilan Mountain when he was going down the mountain, he would have really wanted to go back overnight to shake Old Man Lan's shoulders and ask him a question. ask.
Maybe Bai Ruofei just didn't want him to go back to the mountain to ask Lan Xilin, so she told him about the end of master-disciple relationship
That's all, Xia Chu pinched his brows, both of them had been away from the world for many years.
He was embarrassed to ask them with a shy face, so he might as well check and think about it...
