Early the next morning, Dongfang Shuo heard what seemed to be a footstep approaching outside the door.

He didn't sleep all night, and he kept standing by the window to enjoy the snow, which was regarded as a night of snow.

The snow stopped before dawn, but the snow had accumulated a thick layer on the outside overnight, and when the sun rose after dawn, it seemed as if the whole world was a piece of white flowers, just as Autumn Leaves said yesterday.

Dongfang Shuo will inevitably think in his heart, but it is in line with her heart.

After glancing at Autumn Leaf Bai, who was still asleep, Dongfang Shuo immediately left, gently pushed the door and walked out.

At this time, the gradually approaching footsteps saw Dongfang Shuo coming out, and he opened his mouth to speak, but was suffocated by Dongfang Shuo's silent action.

"What's wrong?"

After closing the door, Dongfang Shuo took a few steps up and asked in a low voice.

The maid who came also whispered: "There is a car outside, saying that she wants to invite Lord Shang Guohou as soon as possible." ”

"Where did the car come from?"

Dongfang Shuo was puzzled.

The maid said, "It's a father-in-law who is driving." ”

As for more, she didn't go on.

After all, there are some things that people of her status can not talk about, and the father-in-law didn't say why he came, and she naturally couldn't speculate as a maid.

The more high-ranking the maids and servants in the mansion, the more they understand this truth.

However, the words have been said so simply, Dongfang Shuo naturally doesn't have to think about it to know where to go.

"Won't you report Qiuhou first?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The maid said: "At this time, Qiuhou has not woken up yet, so it is inconvenient to disturb it. And the father-in-law seems to be in a hurry, so the slave and maid came directly to find the Marquis of Shang, and wanted to wait for the Marquis of Qiu to wake up before reporting. ”

"You have a heart. ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly, and after laughing, he glanced back at the direction of the door, and after a pause, he said to the maid, "I'll go now, and when your young lady wakes up, tell her that I'm just going to deal with some things, and I'll be back soon, not gone." ”

The maid was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"

Dongfang Shuo smiled: "You just tell her as I say, you don't have to ask more." ”

"Yes. ”

The maid replied.

Then, Dongfang Shuo immediately set off and rushed towards the gate of the Autumn Mansion.

About half an hour after he left, Akiba Bai slowly opened his eyes.

She got up and did not say a word to groom herself, but without making up, she went to the window.

"A man's mouth," Akiba Bai smiled slightly, "it's really unreliable at all." ”

"Miss. ”

Suddenly, there was a call from outside the door.

Akiba Bai looked out the door.

She had been aware of the breath for a long time, but she just didn't care.

"Come in. ”

She said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open.

"What's the matter?" asked Akibaha.

The maid said: "When Shang Guohou left, the slave maid left a message for the young lady. ”

"What did he say?"

"He said he was just going to take care of something and would be back soon, not gone. ”

As soon as the maid finished speaking, Autumn Leaf Bai immediately understood.

At the same time, she couldn't help but smile lightly.

When the maid saw that the young lady was smiling, she became more and more puzzled, and asked, "Miss, what do you mean by this, why can't the slave and maid understand it at all, and why did it disappear?"

"Secret. ”

Akiba smiled.

And when the maid listened, she understood and asked no more.

Then, Akiba Bai looked out the window and asked, "You know...... Where did he go?"

“...... Palace. ”

After hesitating for a moment, the maid was still blunt.

Akiba Bai glanced at her: "In the palace?" But then quickly, Akiba Bai withdrew his gaze.

She didn't seem too surprised by this.

So, she looked at the snow scene outside the window, and after thinking about it, she ordered: "Cai'er, prepare paper and pen." ”

"Pen and paper?"

"Go. ”

"Oh. ”

Subsequently, the maid named Cai'er hurriedly set off and laid out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Autumn Leaf Bai.

Akiba Bai walked to the desk, picked up the pen, and after thinking about it for a while, he began to write.

"Who is Mademoiselle going to write to?"

"To Daddy. Akiba Hakumichi, "It's rare to snow, and I want to invite him to enjoy the snow." ”

The maid was slightly stunned: "Why did Miss suddenly think of this?"

"Because I'm in a good mood today. After a pause, Akiba continued, "Moreover, Daddy and Dongfang Shuo will probably be very busy in the future, and today I want them to rest without distractions." In addition, Dongfang Shuo has always wanted to know about my relationship with the palace, and today is the right time, so I reluctantly told him. ”

When the words fall, her pen will also be completed.

After putting down the pen, she read her letterhead, confirmed that it was correct, and then folded and encapsulated.

"Then I'll have to take you on a trip. ”

Akiba Bai smiled, "You know who to give it to, right?"

"It's not the first time that the slave has waited for the young lady's letter, and it must be clear. Cai'er laughed.

As soon as he heard this, Qiu Yebai puffed up his cheeks and said angrily: "You are embarrassed to say that you have sent the wrong number of times, huh?"

"Miss, you won't be wrong this time. ”

Cai'er said.

Akiba Bai said: "Remember, don't send it wrong this time." ”

"Yes, Miss. ”

......

When the letter was sent, Dongfang Shuo had already entered the palace.

Outside the closed Xuan Hall, Dongfang Shuo had been standing for almost a quarter of an hour.

Finally, a eunuch hurried out.

"How's your majesty doing?"

Dongfang Shuo immediately asked.

The eunuch's face was full of sadness, and he said: "The situation is stable, but the body is ......" At this point, he didn't dare to continue.

"Still not getting better?"

Dongfang Shuo took his words and asked.

The eunuch nodded.

As a result, Dongfang Shuo's brows also furrowed slightly: "Why is this happening suddenly? Obviously, His Majesty was still at the gate of the palace yesterday to greet me. ”

But even if he asked so much, the eunuch could not say much.

"Please come with me, the imperial doctor is inside, if the Hou Ye has any doubts, you can ask the imperial doctor." ”

When the words fell, the eunuch showed Dongfang Shuo the way, and when he saw Dongfang Shuo move, he walked in front and began to lead the way.

Soon, Dongfang Shuo had already gone deep into the Xuan Hall and approached the emperor's bedroom.

Before I could get inside, I heard a few coughs.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Shang is here. ”

The eunuch entered first and immediately informed the emperor.

Dongfang Shuo followed, looked at the emperor on the bed, and immediately bowed and saluted.

With the support of Xu Changsheng, the emperor reluctantly supported him, and said in a weak tone: "You all step down, just leave Imperial Doctor Huang and Xu Changsheng here, and that's it." ”

At this time, Xu Changsheng realized that all the eunuchs left immediately.

By the time they all left, the emperor had already been supported by Xu Changsheng and sat up.
