The word "mother and concubine" is so unfamiliar to Xia Chu, but it is also extremely warm.
Even when he and Xiao Yanjun got married in his previous life, he felt awkward and uneasy when facing Concubine Li. He hesitated for a long time and finally didn't cry out.
In the end, the emperor was sympathetic to the fact that he had not had a mother since he was a child. He couldn't accept it for a while, so he made a joke, and Chu'er was shy and passed by.
But now, Xiao Mubai mentioned this.
There was a strange look in his elegant mist-like starry eyes, and he almost blurted out...
It turns out that it's not that he can't pronounce these two words.
But he didn't want to face Concubine Li.
"Why, my concubine has not won over the Young Marquis since she came out to save the hero today?" Xiao Mubai saw him being silent for a moment, and his expression looked neither shy nor resistant.
"There is no need to win over me, it makes me fall in love with her." Xia Chu thought of Concubine Qi's royal majesty and heavenly aura, and her nervous expression of eagerly holding him in her arms and checking where he was injured, and her heart was filled with excitement. Tender and affectionate.
His eyes lit up and he looked at Xiao Mubai: "You must have heard what Kong Changhui said about what happened just now."
Xiao Mubai nodded and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Do you have anything to add?"
Xia Chu clicked his tongue: "That's right? He was indoors from beginning to end today. Naturally, he reported everything to you in detail."
Xiao Mubai laughed out loud: "Then who are you showing this regretful look to?"
"It's just a pity that you haven't seen how radiant and graceful your empress is." Xia Chu made two more 'tsk' noises, and moved closer to him, with a faintly proud tone in his tone: "And what about me? The tenderness that protects you in your arms."
The corner of Xiao Mubai's mouth twitched: "Are you using my mother-in-law to show off to me?"
Xia Chu smiled with a sly expression, put her hand on his shoulder and patted him twice: "What do you call your mother-in-law? That is our mother-in-law."
…
"I have never seen the mother-in-law with all her radiance and grace." Xiao Mubai snorted, turned his head away slightly, and continued in a much more serious tone: "Of course she was not in her arms. I have experienced that tenderness."
Xia Chu said "Ouch", hooked his chin, turned his face, and said happily: "Why are you still sore?"
"Okay, let's stop making trouble and get down to business." Xiao Mubai pressed his hand.
Xia Chu saw that he looked extremely cute at this time, and originally wanted to tease him a few more words, but saw his expression suddenly hardened, and said calmly: "Xiao Yanjun is a little unusual today, what he did was too outrageous. I originally thought that he was just here to gloat, but I never thought that he would actually dare to take action. Fortunately, my mother-in-law came in time."
Xia Chu said 'hmm' and pursed her lips: "If I had been a little bit late, someone would have died today."
Xiao Mubai was stunned and turned to look at him, his eyes half surprised and half cold: "How dare he take your life? Didn't he just plan to torture you?"
"I almost..." Xia Chu narrowed his eyes slightly: "I almost killed him."
Xiao Mubai looked relieved, and then glanced at him and said angrily: "You are too impulsive. After all, he is King Yu who was personally appointed by the father. You can just walk away and leave. Where are the remaining people? Lan Lan Yuying is still in the palace."
Xia Chu admitted that he was a little angry, but he was not impulsive. He held his chin and asked Xiao Mubai: "Zhuo Xiande, the last envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, do you know how he died?"
Xiao Mubai nodded. At that time, he sent people to follow Bingwen. In the case of Huo Tianyang's skeleton that caused a sensation in the capital, Bingwen found out the murderer Zhuo Xiande. Back then he...
Xiao Mubai thought of this and looked at Xia Chu: "Are you going to imitate his technique?"
Xia Chu made a sound: "What is imitation? If I take action, I will definitely be much smarter than him. The silver needle sank into Xiao Yanjun's water point. After a while, he died of his own breath. By then, his attendant Si Nan would be a human." It proves that I have never touched him from beginning to end, how can you rely on me?"
Seeing his innocent expression, Xiao Mubai couldn't help but touch an inch above his navel, and his Adam's apple rolled.
"But killing him like this is too cheap. Fortunately, the empress came in time." Xia Chu looked happy.
Xiao Mubai pinched the center of his eyebrows. He was so blind that he rushed over in a hurry. He was also afraid that Xia Chu would suffer a loss...
"Have you found any extraordinary evidence outside these two days?" Xia Chu tilted her head to look at him.
Xiao Yanjun was really acting out of character today, especially the harsh words he said before leaving, which made Xia Chu feel a little restless.
"The courtyard held by Prince Yu and Yue Feng is quiet and peaceful. As for Concubine Li, news from the palace has come. She has been in a good mood these past few days, enjoying flowers and gardens and watching plays. Other than that, There is no other difference." Xiao Mubai was also very surprised by this.
"I always feel a little uneasy." Xia Chu rubbed his temples. He knew Xiao Yanjun very well. If he hadn't been very sure of winning, he would not have been so unscrupulous and dared to come to Dali Temple to lynch him openly.
"Even if he does produce some incredible evidence, he can't do anything to you." Xiao Mubai took his hand down and patted it gently: "What's more, I have already prepared for the worst."
Xia Chu looked confused, but suddenly realized after a moment, she held his hand and said solemnly: "You can't come forward in this matter. I was the one who set the fire. You..."
"But it was me who ordered it in the end." Xiao Mubai interrupted him in a relaxed tone.
"Mu Bai, you have to take the overall situation into consideration. You can't admit this, and you can't appear in Dali Temple tomorrow." When Xia Chu said this, he still had a disapproving look on his face, looking at himself narrowly, and couldn't help but frown. He frowned.
When he spoke again, the topic changed and his tone suddenly became sharp: "Yuefengwan is still in Liang Kingdom now. If you show up at Dali Temple tomorrow as King Mo and admit this matter, what will happen to us?" Yandu is definitely not the best plan.”
Xiao Mubai raised his eyebrows slightly, with an expression that seemed to say, so what
"I have been following you all this time, but this really doesn't work!" Xia Chuxiao responded with emotion, and even started to act a little coquettishly before continuing: "I don't believe they can produce any ironclad evidence. You can identify me."
The corner of Xiao Mubai's lips curved, and the slight arc raised, with a hint of doting, he said helplessly: "I have always followed you, should I be responsible for this sentence?" Come and tell me?"
…
"Hmm." Xia Chu was speechless at his teasing, and smacked the table in anger: "Anyway, I don't agree, I'm very determined!"
