Xiao Mubai didn't do anything else. He just held Xia Chu in his arms and hugged him tightly. Xia Chu couldn't sit still and didn't dare to move.
Just when she felt that it was getting late and she might as well stab Xiao Mubai unconscious so that he could go to bed early, Xiao Mubai suddenly said, "Did you hum a song for me last night?"
Xia Chu was startled by his sudden voice, and nodded hurriedly, but found that he couldn't see him again, and then said: "Well, you were too tired yesterday, and you fell asleep before I finished humming a song. "
"Oh? How many songs did you hum?" Xiao Mubai looked up at her.
Xia Chu's face froze and she pursed her lips: "There are so many songs. Anyway, you slept soundly when I left..."
Xiao Mubai believed it, and blinked his phoenix eyes, the corners of his eyes raised slightly, and his tone became soft and sticky: "How about you hum it to me tonight?"
When Xia Chu heard the word 'good' trailing off at the end, with a hint of coquettishness, he blurted out the word 'good' and responded.
That night, when Xia Chu was humming an unknown number of songs, he felt so regretful that he felt so happy when eating...
During the next ten days when Xia Chu was refining alchemy, Xiao Mubai became the sweetheart hidden in the Golden House. Occasionally, this sweetheart would go out. Xia Chu took advantage of him to go to the palace twice, and the time he stayed there Not long, I just met the emperor and looked at Concubine Qi.
When Xiao Zimu heard that Xia Chu had entered the palace, he also sent Xin Ya to Yongxin Palace to ask if he was okay recently, making Xia Chu mistakenly think that he knew something, and went to Yongning Palace to see him.
After some indirect questioning, it was confirmed that he knew nothing about Yue Feng Wan, Li Fei, and the Emperor. Only then did he realize that he was simply worried about his own safety. Then he told him to be more vigilant in recent days, and then He said goodbye.
During this period, Lan Yuying had someone send a sachet to the Hou Mansion, and Xia Chu wore it on her body. As for whether it would be useful, she was not sure.
After all, Blue Feather Sakura didn't have any insects to test its efficacy. Xia Chu patted the sachet and waited to see what God would do...
In recent days, he had been concentrating on practicing alchemy, only caring about the heat, and left the rest of the matters to Xiao Mubai.
For some reason, whenever Xiao Mubai comes back, he seems to have lost his mind.
In other words, I'm too lazy to use my brain at all.
In the past few days, I have heard from Xiao Mubai that the relationship between Xianli and Chen Rongrong seems to have made progress. It seems that in private, Chen Rongrong will come to Xianli and say some flattering words, and he should be able to find out something soon.
Concubine Li stayed in Tianyan Temple for three days and returned to the palace in a big way. She was still worried at the beginning of Xia, wondering if Yuefengwan had revealed his night visit to Yufu Palace.
As time passed, there was no unusual behavior in Yufu Palace. After Concubine Li returned to the palace, everything was as usual, except that Xiao Yanjun entered the palace more often and stayed longer.
But he is about to get married, so there is nothing wrong with him often going to Yufu Palace to discuss the wedding...
Just when everything was stable, Xia Chu wondered if the tension that night was an illusion.
The situation changes suddenly...
On December 13, the elixir was condensed. Xia Chu was overjoyed. It happened to be that Xiao Mubai was out. He left a message asking Li Xinlan to inform Xiao Mubai that he had come to the palace, and also asked the raven to stay in the Hou Mansion and take good care of him. The Marquis entered the palace happily with the elixir.
When he entered the palace in the early summer, the sky was getting darker and grayer, and the wind in the twelfth lunar month was like a whistle. It hurt when it hit his face. He tightened his cloak and held on to the diamond in the box. After taking the elixir, he put his hands in his sleeves and went straight to the imperial study.
The emperor had just had dinner in the imperial study room. Xia Chu glanced at the leftovers. It seemed that they were not the medicinal meals he had prepared before. His heart tightened inexplicably. He greeted him with a smile: "The emperor has changed the recipes recently. Well?"
The emperor answered the question unintentionally: "If you had known earlier, I would have waited for you to have dinner with me."
Xia Chu stepped forward with a joyful expression: "It's too late to inform you. Lanlan has just made an antidote, which may be able to cure the long-standing poison of lonely heart in the emperor, so I rushed into the palace in a hurry."
When the emperor heard this, his body stiffened and his expression changed. Xia Chu thought he was also ecstatic, so he quickly took out the box containing the antidote from his sleeve and handed it over.
The emperor took it with a complicated expression, and gave Xia Chu a meaningful look. effect."
The emperor opened the delicate lid of the box, and a burst of medicinal fragrance hit his face. However, he took the box further and saw a brown pill embedded in the box.
Xia Chu felt strange, why did the emperor seem to be so resistant to this antidote
Just when he raised his head to look at the emperor, the emperor suddenly spoke and called Eunuch Li to summon Yuan Guangyi, the envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, to have an audience.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Xia Chu looked at the Emperor who suddenly became cold-faced, wondering why his attitude suddenly changed.
"Let me ask you again, is there any problem with this antidote?" The emperor looked at him in silence for a long time, and finally asked this question. The tone sounded to him as if he was given another chance.
"Your Majesty, this is an antidote. Even if it can't cure the poison on your body, it will definitely not harm you..." If the atmosphere wasn't so tense at this moment, Xia Chu almost laughed out loud.
Is the emperor suspicious of him and poisoning him
The emperor's face was struggling a little, and two emotions appeared alternately in his pupils, sometimes guilt and sometimes resentment.
Xia Chu thought about it and realized that the emperor would not suddenly become suspicious of him for no reason. Logically speaking, even if someone provoked him, the emperor would not be suspicious of him.
The uneasy feeling in his heart gradually increased, and he frowned and asked the emperor: "Did someone slander you?"
The emperor lowered his eyelids and closed the box: "When Yuan Guangyi comes to check, we will know whether it is slander."
When it came to this matter, Xia Chu naturally had no need to ask. He waited calmly for Yuan Guangyi to finish the investigation, and then asked him who was talking about it.
Naturally, he was very confident about this antidote. From the beginning to the end, the medicine, grinding, and frying were all done by his own hands. There were ravens guarding the small pharmacy outside, and no one else could enter.
As soon as the antidote was formed, he took it out and brought it into the palace himself. Not to mention that the medicine was changed, no one except the emperor had even looked at it.
Just when Xia Chu was thinking about how he could complain to the emperor later and complain that he doubted her, the sound of two people's hurried footsteps sounded outside the imperial study. A moment later, Eunuch Li's sharp voice shouted outside: "Your Majesty, , the envoy from the Yuan Yuan is here..."
The emperor glanced at Xia Chu and said solemnly: "Xuan."
