Chapter 45: Sleepless Night

Li Chu woke up vaguely, and saw Xu Anshou dozing off in front of the bed, and couldn't help but feel grateful, and turned his head to see that only a lamp and candle were lit, so he estimated that it was almost time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Are you feeling better?"

Xu An, who couldn't lift his eyelids just now, spoke energetically at this time, and Li Chu was stunned for a moment, and slowly said, "It's much better." ”

"It's time, it's time to drink the medicine." Xu An said as he got up and went to get the soup bowl on the table.

Li Chu asked at his back, "Have the people from the Criminal Department been here, and when I fell asleep, I vaguely heard the sound in the courtyard." ”

"I've been here, and I haven't said anything, I'll help you up." Xu An carefully helped him up, and was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, so he took two pillows and put them behind him.

Li Chu took the soup bowl, frowned and drank the decoction, shocked by the bitterness of the decoction, and couldn't help complaining: "Doctor Xu! Your medicine is too much compared to poison, and you are dying of bitterness. ”

Xu An saw that he had the spirit to speak, and he knew that his body had recovered a little, and said with a smile: "It seems that the use of this rhinoceros horn and black bear bile is really not small." ”

"Rhino horn?" Li Chu handed him the soup bowl and said in surprise, "I remember that during the day, you said that the rhinoceros horn could not be obtained for the time being......"

"Eh, my son-in-law, it's still daytime, you slept for three days, and the emperor learned about your injury and came to see you with rhinoceros horns in person."

Xu An said as he poured some warm water into the bowl of morning soup, handed it to Li Chu and said, "There are still some leftovers, you can drink them cleanly, don't waste the hundred-year-old medicinal materials." ”

Li Chu held the soup bowl and looked at it for a while, and asked, "Feng ......"

"Drink it and talk about it."

Li Chu smiled faintly, he really couldn't resist the person in front of him, so he had to pick up the soup bowl and drink it clean, and then turned it upside down to show Xu An, and when he saw him nodding with satisfaction, he spoke again: "Feng Jiu is now in the Nine Princes' Mansion?" ”

"Yes." Xu An didn't raise his head.

"Then has she ever been back to the Rite Mansion?"

Xu An looked at him deeply and said strangely, "Why do you ask that?" Most people think that if she hurts you, you will definitely not come back, what is your problem? ”

"Mr. Wu and Le Xi are still in the mansion, Feng Jiu can't sit idly by, you tell me, did she come back?" Seeing that he refused to answer directly, Li Chu asked again.

"Hmm...... I've been here all day, I don't know. Xu An shook his head, looking unspeakable.

Li Chu took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "Let Jin Yuan come over." ”

"It's too late!" Xu An was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and his voice seemed to echo from the earth, and when he saw Li Chu's scrutinizing gaze, he also knew that he was too excited.

After a short silence, Xu An opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Wu is gone." ”

"Feng Jiu really came back...... Before Li Chu finished speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the sad look on Xu An's face, and his heart couldn't help but hurt, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Is it ...... Could it be that Mr. Wu has already gone? ”

Xu An couldn't bear to look at Li Chu's expression, and nodded slightly in affirmation.

Although Li Chu closed his eyes tightly and didn't want tears to flow, he still couldn't resist the pain of breaking his liver and intestines, and when he heard Xu An's continuous care in his ears, he immediately gasped and said, "I'm okay, I don't have to keep vigil tonight, you better go back and rest." ”

Xu An didn't answer, but brought a bowl of water to Li Chu's mouth, Li Chu drank the slightly sweet water, and fell asleep in a while.

"Eh......" Xu An put the pulse pillow, silver needle and other items into the medicine box, sighed and opened the door.

The person on the bed heard the sound, slowly opened his eyes, walked to the table with difficulty against the wall, raised his hand to grab the pen, but the pen was miserable.

Li Chu crumpled the paper into a ball and shook his head a little amusedly, what about telling them the truth? Impulsive people will only be more impulsive, and those who blame themselves will only blame themselves more.

The candlelight suddenly jumped, and it was about to go out, but in an instant, it "snapped" again and lit up again, a few points brighter than before.

The dawn was much faster than Li Chu expected, and Jin Yuan got up much earlier than he thought, seeing him looking at himself in surprise, Li Chu still couldn't help laughing.

"Childe! Are you awake?! That's great! I'll go find Xu An. After being surprised, Jin Yuan said excitedly that he was about to rush out.

Li Chu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Xu An just left not long ago, you don't have to go, I have something to ask you." ”

Jin Yuan's legs were stunned, and he paused in mid-air, showing a wry smile at Li Chu, and when Li Chu saw this, he pulled him to his side and said: "You are the person I trust the most, if you don't even hide it, then I don't know who else can be trusted in the future." ”

"Don't say that...... I'm just afraid that you will be sad, Feng Jiu is too much, so angry that Mr. Wu is sick, not to mention, he even asked people to open a coffin shop next to the mansion, and what is even more excessive is ......" Jin Yuan was quietly silenced when he said this.

"What's more?"

Jin Yuan showed a look of embarrassment, but he could touch Li Chu's weak but resolute gaze, and couldn't help but say: "Before the coffin shop shopkeeper escaped, he sent a coffin, saying that Feng Jiu asked him to give it to his son......"

"Why did the shopkeeper of the coffin shop run away?"

"Because...... Yes? Jin Yuan looked at Li Chu in disbelief, he never expected that he was asking such an inconsequential word, and seeing that he didn't mean to joke, he said, "He bumped into Nangong Fei, didn't think he was unlucky, and ran away, did he stay here and wait for death?" ”

Li Chu frowned and said: "No matter who instructed him to open the coffin shop, as long as he is making a proper living, he has the right to open the coffin shop here." ”

"Oh......" Jin Yuan replied coyly, he didn't want to hear more of it.

"Go find him and come back." Li Chu spit out this sentence very blandly, but Jin Yuan's eyes were about to pop out, "What?!" Others avoid this kind of coffin shop, but the son is good, and he even took the initiative to find bad luck, what to find? People don't know where to run, even if he is given two guts, will he dare to come? ”

Seeing that he was a little excited, Li Chu dragged a long voice and said, "Jin Yuan...... I've told you more than a few times......"

"Low low, low low! You have said it hundreds of times, but being low-key does not mean blindly tolerating it, we don't threaten others to treat us as sick cats! Jin Yuan pulled his throat, his face flushed.

He paused slightly, and then said: "Even if Gongzi doesn't want to think about himself, think about our feelings, which one in the yard is good-tempered, let them swallow this breath, isn't it more difficult than ascending to the sky?" Annoyed to death, all these troubles were caused by Feng Jiu, and she was to blame! ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Li Chu covered his mouth and coughed violently, seeing Jin Yuan silently stroking his back, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You can't blame Feng Jiu, she has no less bitterness in her heart than mine." Now that the old gentleman is driving west, I don't know how sad she will be when she learns about it? She had already been sick, so she was only afraid of it...... Ahem......"

Jin Yuan coughed again when he saw that he was too anxious, and hurriedly poured water and sent it to him, "She is bent on you dying, and you still have the heart to worry about her illness, is there such a stupid person as you in this world?" ”

Jin Yuan caught the glance that Li Chu floated over, and knew that it was he who had just lost his words, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.
