Xiao Muhong was drinking tea. After hearing his words, she choked and coughed repeatedly.
Xia Chu originally wanted to go up and pat her on the back to cheer her up, but when she thought of her current identity, which was a bit inappropriate, she paused in the distance.
Instead, Wu Getai took out a red handkerchief from his arms and handed it over: "I didn't expect to send it out in this way."
Xiao Muhong's eyes lit up when she looked at the handkerchief. She had taken a fancy to this handkerchief last night, but she didn't have any money, and she couldn't be shy and let Wugetai buy it for her, so she had to put it down as if nothing had happened. It was inevitable to take a second look.
I never thought that he would buy it secretly.
"Mu Hong, how can such a personal item as a handkerchief be given and accepted so easily?" Xiao Mubai said to her in a deep voice.
Xiao Muhong was emotionally touched, so she was not willing to listen to him. She reached out to take it, and immediately wiped the tea stains from the corner of her mouth and muttered: "It's just a handkerchief, brother, you are too serious."
Xiao Mubai glanced at her. This Wugetai had just poured out his heart, but it was good for her that she immediately accepted the veil...
He pinched his brows, gritted his teeth, but couldn't pull it out of her hand, so he could only say to Wu Getai: "She has lived in the palace for a long time and doesn't understand much about these things. She may not understand the meaning."
Wu Getai narrowed his eyes and smiled, and was about to speak, but Xiao Mubai continued: "Fifth Prince, there are some things that we should wait for you to go back safely before mentioning them."
Wu Getai raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the profound meaning in Xiao Mubai's eyes, and then poured a glass of wine and raised it to him: "Then let's take advantage of tonight to stay drunk with His Highness King Mo."
"The fifth prince doesn't know something. This king is too drunk." When Xiao Mubai said this, his expression became slightly stiff.
Xiao Mubai knew that he had misunderstood, so he added: "But it's okay to talk at night by candlelight, but I'm afraid I'll have to treat you with tea."
Wu Getai's complexion returned to its original state, and he replied generously: "That's fine, you can't force others to do anything."
Xia Chu originally thought that Xiao Mubai was taking the opportunity to politely refuse Wugetai, but after hearing what he said later, he knew that they must have a lot to say that night.
He took a few hasty bites, found an excuse, and took Xiao Muhong down with him.
Xiao Muhong was led out of the front hall by him, turning back three times with each step, muttering: "I haven't even had a few bites of this hot dish."
Xia Chu smiled narrowly: "Yes, you just looked at it, of course you didn't take a few bites."
Xiao Muhong frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xia Chu told Han Hong to prepare some snacks and send them to the room, then pulled Xiao Muhong back and said, "Do you like him?"
Xiao Muhong thought for a while: "It's not that I like him very much, but he plays well. He is not the same as the Mongolian people I imagined..."
The corner of Xia Chu's mouth twitched. If Xiao Muhong fell in love with a man like Xu Wenlan, there would be nothing wrong with that. A couple like Xu Wenlan and Lan Yuying would also be the envy of others.
But he knew that Wu Ge Tai was not here.
Therefore, he sighed: "Mu Hong, he is an ambitious person and cannot play with you for the rest of his life."
Xiao Muhong pursed her lips: "I didn't say I wanted to play for the rest of my life. You see, I am looking at the fine clothes and food in this deep palace. In fact, I have no freedom at all. I don't know which high-ranking official's son I will be pointed out by my father in the future. If that’s the case, it’s better to choose someone you like. When you entered the palace for the banquet, I had this idea in mind and that’s why I called your name.”
Xia Chu looked startled, but Xiao Muhong then joked: "Later, I really thought you were a nice person and felt happy, but I didn't expect that it was my sister-in-law who called you back."
Xia Chu also didn't expect that Xiao Muhong was actually more transparent than he thought.
It turned out that she had such an idea at the beginning. No wonder her emotions were far less volatile than expected when she found out that he was a woman.
"Honghong..." Xia Chu's heart softened, and she called her very gently.
Xiao Muhong curled her lips, with a look of disgust on her face: "Don't call me with this face, I can't stand it, I really can't stand it..."
Xia Chu was amused by her words and laughed out loud: "As for..."
Xiao Muhong nodded heavily and vomited exaggeratedly.
At this moment, Han Hong brought some snacks, and Xia Chu took them and handed them to her: "You can eat it."
Xiao Muhong and Xia Chu chatted in the room all night, and Xiao Mubai and Wu Getai also held candles in the front hall all night.
Until the two of them began to feel sleepy, Xiao Muhong lamented that her brother could have such fun talking to Wu Getai.
Xia Chu sighed that Xiao Mubai's energy was really good. He slept for two hours yesterday and could still hold on until now.
He and Xiao Muhong couldn't hold on any longer, so they both fell asleep first.
The next day, Xia Chu was awakened by a huge explosion. After a brief shock, he stood up in a hurry.
Fortunately, after being disliked by Xiao Muhong yesterday, he didn't take off the disguise on his face because he was too lazy to move, and quickly put on his clothes.
Hansha was waiting at the door when he opened the door. Seeing that he looked nervous and before he could speak, Xia Chu asked him, "Has the fifth prince gone on his way?"
Han Sa originally thought he was going to ask about the explosion just now, but he didn't expect him to ask such a question. His face was startled, and Xia Chu urged again: "Are you leaving?"
Han Sa nodded hurriedly: "The third young master Qiao and the fifth prince left the capital together today. The prince has gone to see them off. They have been gone for a while."
"Oops!" Xia Chu turned around, picked up a big cloak, and hurried out.
He knew that Li Fei was going to attack Wugetai, but he didn't expect that she would be so bold. From the sound of the explosion, it must not be far from the capital, and the method used was so violent!
Violence
Xia Chu suddenly stopped and was stunned. Didn't Xiao Mubai say yesterday that Concubine Li gave the order to the mausoleum gate
Isn't Lingmen an assassination organization
Which assassination organization would use gunpowder to explode
Han Sa saw him hurriedly going out after asking a question, and hurriedly followed him. Seeing him suddenly pause again, she couldn't help but ask him: "Master, were you frightened by the sound just now?"
Xia Chu turned to look at him: "Where did the sound come from just now?"
Han Sa pointed to the sky in the west where thick smoke was still rising. Xia Chu followed the direction he pointed thoughtfully: "Which way does Wugetai go back to the Mongols?"
Han Sa pursed her lips: "There is only the North City Gate."
"Yes, the Mongolian people can only go back to the North City Gate. How could it be bombed in the west?" See what's going on.
When Han Sa learned that he was going to the place where the explosion occurred, he hurriedly advised: "The young master is waiting for news at the mansion. He has just sent someone to investigate."
Xia Chu rolled her eyes at him: "Going back and forth will delay things."
Before he finished speaking, there was another shocking roar. The two looked at each other, and Xia Chu's pupils suddenly shrank.
This battle cannot be about bombing people.
I'm afraid it's going to blow up the mountain...
