The hypnotic incense that Zhao Xingwen had been scented with all night was made by Lan Yuying on the mountain, and the dosage was based on a recipe that could kill Bai Ruofei.
It can be imagined that the sleeping incense is not comparable to the ordinary smoke.
"It turns out that that night, you were trying to strengthen my will."
Zhao Xingwen blushed and looked at Xia Chu with a guilty look in his eyes: "At first, I thought you were torturing me on purpose, and I slandered you all night long. My cousin..."
Xia Chu waved his hands repeatedly, and his face turned red.
He originally tortured him on purpose and came up with a method of physical punishment and mental torture.
Seeing him crying with gratitude now, I feel really ashamed and shameless to bear it.
"You two, don't let this go. He bowed, you bowed."
Xiao Mubai watched the two of them saluting each other non-stop, twitching the corners of his mouth, pointing at Zhao Xingwen and saying to Xia Chu, "Hurry up and sneak him back to the Zhao Mansion."
The two of them smiled awkwardly at first, and then were stunned. Xia Chu asked in confusion: "Why are you asking secretly?"
"Such good news must be announced at a good time." Xiao Mubai raised his eyes and smiled meaningfully.
He got up and sent back the four people who were sent by Wugetai to see him off outside the pavilion.
Taking Zhao Xingwen with him, he secretly sent him back to Zhao Mansion.
Xia Chu originally wanted to follow him into the yard, but Xiao Mubai quickly pulled him down.
"This young couple is reunited after a long absence. Don't you think you'll be offended if you follow them in?"
Xia Chu was dragged by him and staggered. He leaned on the wall and turned to look at him with a resentful look: "What's wrong? Let's be happy together..."
Xiao Mubai pinched his eyebrows, sighed, picked up his collar and turned around to leave.
Xia Chu was forcibly taken away by him, and he kept a straight face all the way back home, as if the boss was unhappy.
It would be too impersonal to prevent him from taking a look at such a drama of resurrection from the dead and lovers finally getting married!
Arriving at the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xia Chu looked at Xiao Mubai who was dismounting with him, pouted, and thought to himself. Only now did you know how to coax me, it’s too late!
As a result, Xiao Mubai didn't say a sweet or reluctant farewell, but just walked through the door with him.
Xia Chu tilted her head arrogantly and said to him: "Go back quickly, there is no place for you to live in my yard."
Xiao Mubai raised his hand and poked him gently between the eyebrows, and said with a joking smile: "What are you thinking about? I'm here to find the Marquis..."
After he finished speaking, he left Xia Chu behind and walked towards Hengwuyuan.
Han Sa, who unexpectedly followed him, approached Xia Chu with a mean look and whispered: "If the young master wants the prince to stay overnight, I will send him to you later..."
Xia Chu gritted his teeth and shouted: "Get out!"
"Good." Han Sa laughed and quickly followed Xiao Mubai.
The veins on Xia Chu's forehead twitched, and he turned to look at the raven behind him: "If Mu Bai comes over later, break his legs."
"Okay." Raven agreed seriously.
"If Han Sa comes here, beat me to death!" Xia Chu said angrily while walking towards Yunqiyuan.
"Okay." Raven followed closely.
"These two bastards!" Xia Chu clenched his hands into fists, getting angrier as he thought about it.
"Eh..." Raven paused and looked at Xia Chu, who turned around.
"You go back to sleep. Just pretend I didn't say that I would go to Hengwuyuan and beat him up myself. I want to see what he wants from my father!"
The wind was blowing, and the night was dark, leaving Raven alone in the wind, looking at Xia Chu's back without looking back, her fast steps gradually disappearing into the night.
The next morning, news of the emperor's awakening spread throughout the streets of Chang'an.
When the emperor woke up, Xiao Zimu had accumulated a lot of information about merit and rewards, so he reported them to him one by one. Yin Guangbo also stayed in the capital as he wished, replaced Yu Bangzhen's original official position, and was promoted to minister of Honglu Temple.
The people of Chang'an also received the emperor's favor. After this incident, the emperor's body and the people's livelihood were rebuilt, and taxes were exempted for three years.
The faces of the officials in the palace and the people in the capital were all filled with joy, and bright red silks and satins were hung up in every house.
At a glance, the whole of Chang'an was full of festive atmosphere, with the only exception being Prince Mo's residence.
In today's morning court, Xiao Mubai said he was ill and had not come to court.
The emperor didn't take it seriously and just regarded it as an act of anger.
In addition, although Xiao Zimu has been controlling the government affairs well in recent days, he still needs to make many decisions.
At this moment, the emperor had no time to pay attention to him, leaving him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors in his mansion.
Five days later, Xiao Yanjun was escorted back to Beijing. After the emperor summoned him, he ordered that he be deprived of the title of King Yu and demoted to a commoner. He was escorted to Zongren Temple and imprisoned for life.
Unexpectedly, he died in the Zongren Temple that night. Xiao Mubai and Xia Chu went to the palace that night and took the initiative to face the saint.
In the Qingxin Hall, the emperor looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "Suicide out of fear of crime? Living silently? If he wanted to die, would he wait until he was escorted back to Beijing before he stabbed himself through the heart?"
Xiao Mubai replied calmly: "Maybe I thought my father would forgive him before, but he was sentenced to life imprisonment. When Erchen and Ah Chu went to visit him, maybe his words were a little too extreme, and he couldn't think about it for a moment... "
The emperor slapped the desk, stood up, walked up to Xiao Mubai and cursed: "No matter what, he is your biological brother!"
Xiao Mubai raised his head and looked at the emperor and said: "But this younger brother has been thinking about killing his brother since he was a child. Father, the emperor should know that if the imperial city was defeated by him and relocated, he would not Will he let us go? It's not that he doesn't want to kill us, he just can't do it."
Xia Chu bowed to the side: "Your Majesty, you have been planning for so long, and you also hope to eliminate all evil."
The emperor looked at the two of them singing in harmony and laughed in anger.
He really wanted to kill Xiao Yanjun, especially that night in Qingxin Palace, when the once powerful Xiao Yanjun showed off his power in front of him, he wanted to kill him with a knife.
However, after all, he is his biological son who he watched grow up. When he was a child, he was also well-behaved and smart, which won his favor.
There is something pitiable about a hateful person, but he grew crooked just because he fell in love with such an ambitious mother and concubine...
"The Crown Princess I have appointed is as fierce in killing as any man." The emperor looked at Xia Chu and sneered, and then looked at Xiao Mubai: "I have already thought about your coming to the palace this time."
Xiao Mubai lowered his eyes and bowed: "My son is not qualified for the important task of the crown prince. I have come here tonight to ask for my resignation and return to Chongqing."
The emperor's eyes were locked on his bowed face, and his voice became darker: "Jiangshan beauty, are you serious about not wanting me?"
Xiao Mubai raised his head and looked at him expectantly: "I hope my father will allow me to leave the capital with A Chu."
The emperor sneered and flicked his sleeves: "You have a beautiful idea. If you dare to leave, I will issue an order tomorrow to confer the title of Crown Princess, the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion!"
