Chapter 175: In bed

"What do you say? You say my brother got into an argument with a classmate and accidentally broke his forehead on the corner of the table? Hearing the scholar's words, he only felt anxious for a moment, and opened his mouth to confirm: "My brother is now seeing a doctor in the Qianjin Hall, which is the closest to the school, right?" ”

"That's right, it's the Qianjin Hall to the north of the school, the medical hall that is very good at treating external injuries. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Good, I know where it is." Xia Shuanghan, who instantly searched for the specific location of the Qianjin Hall in his mind, nodded calmly, and then ordered the scholar in front of him, "You wait a while", and then turned around and stepped into the True Fun Pavilion again.

Xie was still waiting for her to go back in the Xiangyang Palace; Su Yixing, who went to the Criminal Department early in the morning to hand over official business, will also return home early today and pack her last luggage with her.

Therefore, in order to prevent herself from going to visit and take care of Xia Chaoyang, the act of returning late nine times out of ten made Xie and Su Yixing wait for her in a daze without knowing why, Xia Shuanghan now has to write a note by hand and let someone take it to Xiangyang Palace.

took the pen and paper handed to her by the work of the True Fun Pavilion, hastily wrote down a line of "Chaoyang is injured, I will visit and take care of him" Xia Shuanghan, quickly closed the post where the ink had not dried, and then turned around and crossed the threshold, and came to the young man who was standing silently by the carriage.

"Little brother, I know where Qianjintang is, so you don't have to help me lead the way. It's just that I hope you can run to Xiangyang Wangfu again and give this to the old housekeeper. Xia Shuanghan, who handed the post over as he spoke, nodded and reassured the young man that he would not disgrace his life, and then turned over and ran away on the wide street at a gallop.

And the young man who looked at Xia Shuanghan's thin back that was getting farther and farther away from the horse looked down at the post in his hand, and then turned around and boarded the humble carriage behind him, and lightly hooked the corners of his lips and smiled maliciously.

"It seems that the master's worries are superfluous, and the Zhongyi Xiangjun is not so flustered that he forgets to report to the Xiangyang Palace, but he is not calm enough to confirm my identity repeatedly first, and then hand over the post to me. Her current reaction and performance are exactly the state that the master wants most, three words - just right. ”

The sound of horses' hooves carried Xia Shuanghan all the way from the west of the city to the east of the city. Stepping on the street where the Yangcheng School is located, and intending to turn left at the next intersection, Xia Shuanghan, who was holding the reins in one hand and waving the horsewhip in the other, suddenly had to stop.

On a busy street, a horse-drawn cart full of pottery overturned on its side because it collided with another carriage. The owner of the broken pottery, in order to get the compensation he deserved, stood in the middle of the street and stopped the carriage that was trying to escape after the accident.

"In this way, their dispute should not come to a conclusion in the short term, and this street will not be able to be restored for a while, so there is no choice but to take another road." The red cloud, who was suddenly stopped, hissed loudly and raised his front hooves, and Xia Shuanghan, who had always been sitting in the saddle, glanced at the two people who were arguing from a distance after the red cloud's four hooves landed on the ground, and then pulled the reins and turned the horse's head.

Riding the red cloud back a short distance on the way he came, he turned into a narrow and secluded alley leading to the street where the Qianjin Hall was located as soon as possible, and quickly turned over and dismounted, and ran with the red cloud on this small road that was not convenient for riding.

In the narrow alley, there were several men pushing small carts full of rice bags and flour bags were busy, slowing down, intending to squeeze Xia Shuanghan behind these men who were busy entering and exiting the back door of the rice grain store and transporting goods inside, but they didn't expect that just when she was holding the red cloud and was about to pass through the small space behind several men, a man dressed in rough clothes and short clothes, who was honest, simple, and honest, suddenly raised his hand and waved it down the back of her neck.

The back of his neck hurt, and then he only felt the black summer frost in front of him, and this thought flashed before he fell to the ground - it seems that Chaoyang's injury is fake, and someone spread false news to deceive me to Qianjintang. I guess the person who was arguing over broken pottery and blocking the road on that bustling street was also trying to force me onto the nearest road to the medical center, so I was there, right? I just don't know who went to such great lengths to trick me into coming here and what they wanted to do to me?

"Hurry up, lift up, lift up, time waits for no one, we must follow the master's request, before Su Shizi catches up, send the loyal and righteous townsman to the bed of Deputy Commander Lu......" desperately held on to his consciousness, and before he fell asleep completely, the words he heard vaguely were the last thing Xia Shuanghan knew.

And when she opened her eyes again, not only was she really sweaty, her waist and legs were sore and lying in the same quilt as Lu Shaoyun, but she was also "caught in bed" by Su Yixing, who came to find her.

On the ninth day of February, this day was not a good day for Lu Shaoyun to feel happy.

Get up early to wash, exercise in the morning, have breakfast, and then go to the Jinwuwei Yamen, Lu Shaoyun, who has just been on official business for a few days, immediately went to the Bafang Pavilion to meet with the envoys, and went all the way to the south gate of the capital along Suzaku Street, he couldn't help but have such thoughts: "When I come back, I think that Shuang Han is already in Liaodong, right?" I haven't been able to see each other for more than two years, and I'm still a little melancholy and difficult! ”

Lu Shaoyun, who escorted the envoys to the official road outside the south gate and traveled safely for most of the day, was slightly injured in the afternoon due to the bad road conditions.

The slippery and muddy road due to the melting of the snow and ice, coupled with the original potholes and unevenness, made it difficult for the driver who was careful to watch out for the carriage to slip. However, even though the speed of the carriage was not fast, and a certain carriage was bumped by a raised stone, the wheels still slipped, and the canal on the side of the official road was almost planted.

In order to prevent the carriage from overturning, Lu Shaoyun, who hurried over with several of his subordinates, finally accidentally bruised his upper arm and the back of his hand in the process of helping the carriage turn. And Lu Shaoyun, who took out the medicine box and simply bandaged the large abrasions on his forearm, didn't notice that there was a faint smile in the eyes of the coachman who was not accompanied by his mouth again and again, and his eyes swept straight to his wounds.

At dusk, as night fell, Lu Shaoyun, who was leading a convoy to stay at a post station on the side of the official road after a day's journey, returned to his guest room on the third floor after settling the envoys, confirming the placement of the horses, and having dinner.

It's just that Lu Shaoyun, who originally planned to rest as soon as possible after washing, failed to act according to the original plan, because there was actually a person lying in the room that should have been empty, and this person was Xia Shuanghan, who should not have appeared here at all, unconscious, and seemed to be feverish.

"Frost? Wake up, wake up! Lu Shaoyun, who came back from being stunned by the sudden appearance of Xia Shuanghan, rushed to the side of the bed in three steps and two steps, reached out to probe Xia Shuanghan's body temperature and pulse, and then after observing her neat and clean clothes to determine what bad situation she should have encountered, he relaxed slightly, raised his hand and gently patted her cheek, trying to wake her up.

But immersed in sleep, the summer frost and cold, which seemed to be infected with a very serious wind chill, never woke up.

"No matter, it doesn't matter why Frost is here at this time, anyway, take care of her first." took off Xia Shuanghan's dress, shoes and socks lightly, and then asked Lu Shaoyun, who had sent hot water upstairs, wiped Xia Shuanghan, who was sweating on his forehead, stared at her who was not sleeping well, and fell into deep thought-Xia Shuanghan definitely couldn't have appeared here voluntarily, Lu Shaoyun could be sure.

After all, first of all, before he left Beijing, Xia Shuanghan had already told him all the things that had happened in the next two years in his previous life, and then needed his attention in this life. Therefore, now, it is impossible for Xia Shuanghan to catch up with him and report to him for a certain memory that suddenly came to mind, as he did when he was on Lin Ze Lake.

Secondly, if it was Su Yixing who had a fierce dispute with her, or that she had encountered some very tricky trouble and needed help from others, Lu Xiaoqing, Xia Jingzhi, Liu Zirun, Lin Xiran, Ba Liya, these relatives and friends of hers are all in the city now, so she really doesn't need to go to great lengths to catch up and ask him for help.

So, since Xia Shuanghan didn't appear here voluntarily, who could have sent her here for what reason?

"Back to the deputy commander, you just asked your subordinates to go to the stable to find the horses, and your subordinates have found them. The people who stayed in the post station today have also been checked and confirmed by their subordinates, and there is no one else except for us in the envoy group. The echo from outside the house, "I found Xia Shuanghan's mount Hongyun", made Lu Shaoyun fall into deep thought even more after replying, "I know, you go down".

"Even the frosty mounts have managed to get in, what do these people who have entered and exited the post station without knowing and unknowingly want to do?" Hundreds of thoughts came to mind, but Lu Shaoyun, who knew that as long as Xia Shuanghan didn't wake up, he wouldn't be able to know the real reason why she suddenly appeared here, and finally suppressed all the doubts and conjectures.

"Wake up quickly, only if you wake up and talk to me clearly, I will know what I should do next." Putting down the handkerchief in his hand, he took Xia Shuanghan, who was still kicking the quilt impatiently because of the fever, but now he was snuggling up to him because of the cold, and Lu Shaoyun, who only hoped that she would wake up as soon as possible, took off his boots and went to bed, lying in the same quilt as his sweetheart.

On the ninth day of February, this day with fine weather should have been a day for Su Yixing to make him feel very happy. After all, Xia Shuanghan agreed to his request and agreed not to have any contact with Lu Shaoyun for the next two years, but only to concentrate on living with him as his wife.

Although Su Yixing felt unacceptable and heartache every time he thought that two years later, Xia Shuanghan would finally leave him and run to Lu Shaoyun's arms, but no matter what, he still snatched three years from their lovers who had a relationship between two lives, and put all the efforts he could try into action. Therefore, even if he still loses to Lu Shaoyun in the end, he should be satisfied.

"I am willing to lose the bet, Su Zhechen, Su Zhechen, since you are helpless and sure that you will not be able to get Xia Shuanghan no matter what, then, when the agreement expires after two years, you can let go in a dashing manner and let her pursue the freedom and happiness she wants!"

Su Yixing, who sat on the carriage back to the Xiangyang Palace, thought so in his heart, and had both the restlessness of expectation and the depression of not wanting it to be so short-lived in the next two years of life.

"Shizi, you're back!" Inside the gate of the Xiangyang Palace, outside the gatehouse, the old housekeeper who was holding the post handed in by the young man dressed as a scholar has been waiting here for a long time, "This afternoon, not long after the princess went to the West Market to sell paintings, a young man who claimed to be the one who came to deliver the news on the order of the princess handed over the post and told him that the princess asked the servants in the concierge to submit it quickly when the princess entered the door. ”

"If you have something to say, you can't tell me in person, instead of saying something like a post, so it seems that Frost and Cold shouldn't have returned home yet, right?" Su Yixing, who stepped out of the carriage, stretched out his hand to take the post presented by the old butler, and opened the closed page, soon lost the calm and indifference on his face the moment he took the line of words with mottled ink and slightly messy handwriting into his eyes, and felt the anger surging and the anger rushing.

On the white page with a faint scent of ink, there was such a line written - Ting Xuan was injured, I went to visit and take care of him.

"Lu Shaoyun! You're just going to be too much of a deceitful! As soon as he clenched the post in his hand, Su Yixing, who changed color in an instant, didn't even have time to change the official robe on his body, so he turned around and ordered his subordinates to prepare horses, and then quickly turned over and got on his horse at the same time as Li Qinglan in the glow, and rushed out of the Xiangyang Palace with a whip one after another.

"Frost Han obviously told me that it was good, saying that he went to the True Fun Pavilion today to sell his paintings, and then he would go home. But Lu Shaoyun, it's you, it's you who don't want Shuang Han to go to Liaodong with me, that's why on the day we set off, you made up lies to trick her to you, right? You untrustworthy bastard, you say it nicely on the surface, saying that you will wait silently for these two years, but in fact, aren't you still unwilling, and you have resorted to some despicable and shameless tricks? ”

Su Yixing, who rode all the way out of the South City Gate on the back of a bumpy horse, and then chased after Lu Shaoyun, who was already staying in the post station, on the official road, had already decided that the reason why Xia Shuanghan had not returned to Xiangyang Wangfu at this moment must be because she was deceived and deceived by Lu Shaoyun, who intended to prevent her from going to Liaodong with him.

"Lu Shaoyun, I will never let you succeed, even if you trick Shuang Han to your side now, I must chase her back and bring her to Liaodong!"

Because he had talked with Wen Jiling a few days ago about what he had seen and heard on the way to Beijing, Su Yixing knew all these things about which way the Southwest Joint Envoy would go and at what speed. Therefore, after a long time of jolting on horseback, in the second half of the night when the moon was bright and starry, Su Yixing, who had been burning with anger in his chest, and Li Qinglan, who was following behind him, successfully arrived at the post station where the envoy group was staying.

Su Yixing, who showed the token of the official of the Criminal Department, and then used the excuse of "I have a case and urgently need to discuss with Deputy Commander Lu of Jinwuwei", was quickly led to the door of the house where Lu Shaoyun lived.

Standing at the door of the room at the innermost end of the corridor on the third floor, Su Yixing, who waved away the person who led the way, and then glanced at Li Qinglan, soon stepped into the room after he took out his knife and picked the latch of the door. And in the house, the scene shining under the flickering candlelight only made Su Yixing feel that his blood was flowing backwards for a moment, and he wanted to kill someone.

What did he see? He actually saw his titular wife Xia Shuanghan and his rival Lu Shaoyun, who was eager to fight, hugging each other tightly in disheveled clothes and in an intimate state, lying in a quilt!

"Lu Shaoyun!" He let out a scream angrily, and then made a move towards Su Yixing, who was attacking the love enemy on the bed, and used his words full of anger, despair, jealousy, sadness, and fierce killing intent to wake up Xia Shuanghan, who was immersed in his sleep.

And the moment Li Qinglan picked up the latch of the door, Lu Shaoyun, who woke up immediately because of the small sound, turned over and got out of bed before Su Yixing touched him, completely shifting the place of the fight away from Xia Shuanghan's side.

"What's going on? Where am I? I opened my eyes in a daze, and when I raised my eyes, I saw Lu Shaoyun in a middle coat and pants, and Xia Shuanghan, who was entangled with Su Yixing in an official robe, and didn't react to what happened for a while.

It wasn't until she quickly looked around the room, and when she saw her in disheveled clothes, she glanced at her, and then she was shocked, hurried, and embarrassed to bow her head and exit the room, and closed the door, that she finally remembered the words she heard when she fell asleep, and further understood where she was now.

"No, don't fight, both of you stop! It's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding, all three of us have fallen into the trap set by someone else! Shouting and sitting up, trying to get out of bed to stop Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing's Xia Shuanghan in the struggle, but just as she stood up, the inexplicable soreness in her waist and legs forced her to fall to the ground because of the sudden loss of strength.
