Naturally, Xia Chu didn't know what happened between the secret guards. He sat back in the carriage and saw Xiao Mubai with a stern face, looking up at him and asking with a half-smile: "You and Yue Fengwan?”
Only then did Xia Chu remember that before he had finished speaking, he had asked Raven to catch the car.
At this moment, I heard his jealous tone, and quickly sat down next to him: "Yue Fengwan and I are looking for the same person. Didn't I tell you in a letter?"
Xiao Mubai shrugged the tip of his nose and looked at the Wanyue Order on Xia Chu's waist: "Did he give it to you?"
Xia Chu looked slightly surprised, took off the Wanyue Order and handed it to him: "Do you know this token?"
Xiao Mubai took it to his nose and sniffed it, then looked it over and over again, and said in a very surprised tone: "Wang Yue Ling?"
Xia Chu nodded frequently: "Then you must know that this Wan Yue Order can call..."
"Repay it immediately." Xiao Mubai stuffed the Wan Yue Ling back into his hand, his expression became darker and darker, and his face turned livid.
"Ah?" Xia Chu opened his mouth. He was ready to pay it back, but he wasn't ready to pay it back right away...
"Since ancient times in the Western Region, the empress has held the jade seal, and the regent has held the Wan Yue Order. If you don't return it, are you planning to become the regent princess?" Xiao Mubai narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.
Xia Chu instantly felt that the Moon Token in his hand was extremely hot to the touch. He could neither throw it away nor hold it.
No wonder the people in that courtyard called him Master. No wonder such a broken wooden sign could actually mobilize Yue Feng to hold the hands of the entire courtyard. No wonder Yue Feng's lips curled up in a weird way when he said he would stop. smile…
But he never thought that this token was Yue Feng's betrothal gift to her
"I, I don't know... I'll pay it back when I get back, right now!" Xia Chu was a little at a loss and stuffed the token into Xiao Mubai's hand: "Why don't I leave this thing with you first?"
Xiao Mubai's face turned pale, he held the token in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Xia Chu was afraid that he might think differently again, so she tugged on his sleeve: "I really don't know, I have nothing to do with him..."
"Do you know why Yuefengwan found you?" Xiao Mubai suddenly interrupted him and asked.
Xia Chu looked startled: "I don't know, I'm also curious. Even in the Liang Kingdom, he could know that Princess Su Ran was me disguised as a man, but how did he know accurately that I was the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion in the Xiao Kingdom? ?”
Xiao Mubai handed him the Wanyue Order again: "I understand now."
Xia Chu took the Wanyue Order and looked through it, but found nothing special. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Mubai in confusion.
Xiao Mubai motioned for him to smell it. Xia Chu frowned and said, "There is a strange fragrance on this token. I have smelled it a long time ago, but what does it have to do with it?"
"I was careless." Xiao Mubai pinched his eyebrows.
Xia Chu's face became even more puzzled. He was about to ask when he continued: "After you came back from Liang Wangwang Palace, I smelled a very light fragrance on your body. The fragrance mixed with your body The smell of herbs is very light. On the one hand, I was overwhelmed by the joy of your return. On the other hand, you said you were refining the antidote for me at that time. I thought it was contaminated and didn't care. At the moment, I smell this false moon. The smell of Ling Shang is very similar."
When Xiao Mubai said this, he glanced at him: "The very light and faint fragrance on your body is still there."
"You mean, he put incense on my body, and then followed the incense to find the Hou Mansion from the Western Regions?" Xia Chu's eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.
This is too outrageous. What kind of fragrance can linger on the human body for a long time? If it weren't for Xiao Mubai's sense of smell that is different from ordinary people, Xia Chu would just think it was nonsense.
"Did anything strange happen to you on your last day in the Liang Palace?" What Xiao Mubai said were all inferences, but his inferences were never missed...
What's more, the light fragrance on Xia Chu's body matches that of Wanyue Ling. This is a fact.
Xia Chu recalled that last day carefully in shock. During the day, there were complicated engagement ceremonies. After the banquet in the evening, he proposed to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk together, and then they went to Luanqing Pond, and then...
Then!
Yue Fengwan drugged him, and he realized it was just a butterfly grass, so he easily resolved it. That thing would only cause paralysis of the limbs and make the person unable to move. He originally wanted to see what Yue Fengwan was going to do, so he pretended to be successful. The butterfly grass.
Later, he was interrupted by Hu Zhijing...
Could it be that at that time, he was planting more than just butterfly grass!
Because the fragrance is not poisonous, and he does not have as keen a sense of smell as Xiao Mubai, so he has not noticed it, but it is really possible!
Xia Chu was still in shock. Looking at Xiao Mubai's face, he didn't dare to say anything about how he was almost cheated by Yue Feng that night in Luan Qing Pond, so he could only speak vaguely: "Maybe I was focused on that night." When I asked him questions, he took advantage of me and took advantage of me..."
Seeing his erratic eyes and evasive expression, Xiao Mubai wanted to ask again, but the carriage had already entered the Marquis Mansion, and the raven said outside in time: "We're here."
Xia Chu shouted Raven's name in her heart to save him from the fire and water, but on her face she pretended to be nonchalant and pulled Xiao Mubai out of the carriage: "Let's go back to the room first."
Xiao Mubai saw him smiling and attentive, so he had no choice but to let him pull him to Yunqiyuan.
After entering the room, Xia Chu pulled him to sit down and began to talk in detail about all the things that had happened in the past few days. Although he had also told Xiao Mubai in letters about some of them, they were all very general.
Xiao Mubai was caught by his volley of words, and his attention was temporarily drawn to Concubine Li. He really didn't ask any more about the last night in the Liang Palace.
Xia Chu was secretly happy when he saw Xiao Mubai's eyes narrowed again. He paused, stopped talking, and thought about what he had said just now, then heard Xiao Mubai ask in a cool tone: "So, you climb over the wall every night to go to the regent next door?"
Xia Chu looked remorseful, wanting to bite his tongue and kill himself. Xiao Mubai's already cold face moved two points closer, with a dangerous signal in his eyes.
Xia Chu retreated tactically and took the lead in raising his hands in a gesture of surrender: "I also told you why I went there every night. You see, there is really nothing. That's why I am so honest!"
Xiao Mubai snorted coldly: "You are really capable. How did you incite someone who has been with me for fifteen years to hide the news from me?"
Xia Chu looked stunned. It was over, and he sold Jiang Yan...
He said sorry to Jiang Yan in his heart, but on the surface he had to defend him: "I was the one who moved him with emotion and reason, and he was forced to do nothing by me. Only then..."
Xiao Mubai stood up and leaned forward, pressing Xia Chu on the back of the chair with both arms. He leaned forward, trapping her between the back of the chair and his arms.
