Xia Chu applied medicine and injected the emperor for three nights in a row. She was looking forward to him waking up, but was also afraid that he would wake up at the wrong time. What if he woke up when she was not on duty.
She was so entangled that when Yinshi arrived, she asked Xiao Yuanzi to keep an eye on him, and went to find Eunuch Li outside the palace, asking him to find a way to arrange for someone of his own to stay with the emperor during the day.
Eunuch Li was pleasantly surprised, and according to Xia Chu's statement, the emperor should be able to wake up soon. At the same time, he agreed with a solemn expression, saying that he would find a solution.
Xia Chu walked back to the emperor, guessing that time was almost up, and took out a small dagger to scrape off the herbs on his left chest.
The bright blade swept across the emperor's eyelids under the reflection of the candlelight. The dagger had just come close to his chest when Xia Chu's wrist was suddenly pinched tightly.
She was startled and looked towards the emperor along the hand.
I was really shocked... When did he wake up
She actually remained silent until she took out the dagger and then reached out to stop her!
The emperor slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. Originally, his eyes were full of anger and coldness. After seeing her face clearly, his expression collapsed and he called her hesitantly: "Lansheng?"
Xia Chu immediately realized that the emperor regarded her as his mother.
She put a hand on the emperor's upper lip, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I am Chu'er."
The emperor's eyes instantly returned to a cold and sharp look, and the strength of his hold on her wrist became stronger. Xia Chu then continued: "Don't rush to punish me. For now, let me explain the situation to you first..."
The emperor slowly let go of his hand. Xia Chu held up the dagger and waved it in front of his eyes: "I secretly applied the medicine to you. I need to shave it off now to avoid being discovered by Yuan Guangyi."
The emperor frowned: "Didn't I put Yuan Guangyi in jail?"
Xia Chu clicked his tongue: "As soon as you fell, Concubine Li lifted you up and reinstated your position. Xiang Chengfang was placed under house arrest in Tai Hospital."
The emperor's eyes became increasingly serious: "She is so courageous."
"There's more to it than that. I'll tell you one by one." Xia Chu sighed, not stopping the work at hand and explaining the current situation concisely and clearly.
"There is a person in the secret cell of General Zhao's mansion. Let Mu Bai go and see him." The emperor suddenly spoke.
Xia Chu said 'hmm' and without asking who it was, he stood up and said to the emperor: "I have to go on duty and come back in the evening. Today, His Highness the Prince's day to pray for you is full. I guess you may come when you come back." If you are disobedient in front of me, you must hold back and don't let them know that you are awake."
The emperor's eyes were full of sharp energy when he closed his eyes, but after closing his eyes, the aura around him was suppressed.
Xia Chu pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, is that knife on your chest Lan Lan?"
The emperor's eyelids twitched suddenly, and after a moment he said: "When this matter is over, I will tell you what you want to know."
Xia Chu felt inexplicably relieved. Perhaps she herself was afraid of hearing the answer that the emperor would blurt out.
After taking two steps, she looked back again, but this time her tone contained a hint of narrowness: "Your Majesty, when did you wake up?"
The emperor did not open his eyes, but said softly: "Before you come back and show your knife."
Xia Chu stuck out her tongue, but she felt reassured. Even she didn't notice any difference in her breath, and neither did Yuan Guangyi.
The emperor was indeed thoughtful, but luckily she had been worried before that the emperor would be so stupid that he would wake up and ask for help.
She clicked her tongue twice. Grandpa was right, the emperor was smart.
After Xia Chu got off duty, he wrote a letter and happily passed it on to Xiao Mubai. Xiao Mubai rushed to General Zhao's mansion as soon as he received the letter.
He climbed into Zhao Xingwen's courtyard with ease. After all, this was not the first time. He skillfully knocked out the attendant guarding the door. With a slight push, the door opened. As always, he was informal...
Xiao Mubai walked into the house, covered Zhao Xingwen's mouth with his hand, and shook Zhao Xingwen awake, who was still sleeping with his head covered.
Zhao Xingwen opened his eyes in a trance and saw Xiao Mubai, covering his mouth.
The same person at the same time, the same disguise, the same mustache that deserves to be beaten, a similar scene, he gently patted Xiao Mubai's hand that was covering his own.
After Xiao Mubai let go of his hand, Zhao Xingwen straightened up and asked alertly: "Is something happened to the Marquis again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mubai slapped him on the forehead: "You're celebrating the New Year, can you speak more auspiciously?"
"Yes." Zhao Xingwen covered his forehead and suddenly realized what he was doing. He looked at him and asked, "Then why are you here in disguise at this time?"
"I'm afraid it will be inconvenient when the daylight is bright when I leave." Xiao Mubai skillfully threw the robe to him and gave him a look.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Xingwen asked while putting on his clothes.
"Secret prison." Xiao Mubai kicked his boots at his feet again.
Zhao Xingwen was also neat. After finishing it in a few moments, he got up and followed Xiao Mubai out.
The two of them just stood at the door, neither of them taking another step.
"What are you doing? Are you waiting for him to wake up?" Xiao Mubai looked at the attendant who was knocked unconscious by him at the door, and glanced at him sideways.
"Are you leading the way?" Zhao Xingwen was also a little dumbfounded.
"What path will I lead to the secret prison in your house?" A vein jumped on Xiao Mubai's forehead.
"Ah?" Zhao Xingwen scratched the back of his head: "Is there a secret prison in my house?"
Xiao Mubai closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of impatience: "Do you know?"
Zhao Xingwen shrugged and spread his hands: "I don't know."
Xiao Mubai held his head against the pain: "Does your mother know?"
Zhao Xingwen stepped forward and said, "How about we go and ask?"
Xiao Mubai sighed and saw that he was still staring at him, so he kicked him on the butt: "Are you waiting for me to take you to find your mother?"
Zhao Xingwen pursed his lips, rubbed his butt and led the way.
After bypassing the many courtyards and arriving at the backyard where his wife lived, Zhao Xingwen said to Lingye at the door: "Auntie, I have something urgent to do with my mother."
Lingye frowned: "Master, it's too early. Come back later. Madam is exhausted from being busy worshiping ancestors these days."
Zhao Xingwen glanced back at Xiao Mubai and saw him raising his eyebrows, so he could only continue to say to Ling Yeyang: "I'm really in a hurry..."
Before he could finish his words, Lingye pulled out a whip from his waist.
As soon as Zhao Xingwen took a step back, Xiao Mubai flew behind her, struck her on the back of the neck with his palm, and then handed her into Zhao Xingwen's arms.
He turned around and knocked on the door, then turned to signal Zhao Xingwen to shout.
Zhao Xingwen had no choice but to call out twice: "Mother, mother, get up, my son has something urgent to do with you."
After a while, I heard a noise inside, and then came Gu Shirou, who was wearing a big cloak. He held a thicker and longer nine-section whip in his hand. He opened the door and shouted: "Emergency? I Looks like you’re here in a hurry to get the first beating of the New Year!”
