Zhao Mu knew that he would do what he said, and since he promised to go out, he shouldn't stay. However, looking at the appearance of Rong Zhao in front of him, he couldn't pull out a pair of feet. Go for his "walk the talk"! Zhao Mu cursed a dirty word from his heart, slowly squatted down, and then sat on the ground side by side with Rong Zhao and reached out to hold her into his arms.

Fortunately, Rong Zhao did not resist, but obediently pillowed on his shoulder, which made Zhao Mu ecstatic. However, before his ecstasy could be released, it turned into panic—

"Why is it so hot?!" Zhao Mu felt that his neck was like a piece of coal, so he hurriedly raised his hand and pressed Rong Zhao's forehead, "It's still nonsense to be sick like this!" However, Rong Zhao was already in a semi-coma at this time, and he could hear Zhao Mu shouting, but he couldn't speak.

Zhao Mu wanted to carry him to the bed, but it was difficult for him to move a single step in his broken body, let alone carry people - it was impossible!

"Someone! Someone ...... coming," Zhao Mu shouted outside.

"The subordinates are here!" Sheng Qiong was the first to rush in.

"The subordinates are here!" Huo Yun also followed.

"The slave is here, what does the prince command?" Qingya also came in.

Zhao Mu glanced at these three people and felt that any one of them could move Rong Zhao to the bed, but he didn't want to use any of them.

It's so depressing!

However, the three people in front of him were all very eye-catching guys, and they didn't need to be ordered by the master to know what was going on at a glance, so Sheng Qiong and Huo Yun stepped forward together, and the two of them lifted Rong Zhao on the bed.

Zhao Mu didn't have time to care about men and women, so he hurriedly instructed Huo Yun: "Go and ask the imperial doctor to come, and ask someone to bring Mei Ruo back quickly!" ”

"Lord Wang, Gongzi Rong is so sick, it's really inconvenient to take care of him here, it's better to take him back to the palace." Huo Yunti said.

"Oh, yes, that's right." Zhao Mu nodded again and again, thinking to himself how stupid I am.

"I'll carry it." Sheng Qiong took a step ahead of Huo Yun to carry Rong Zhao up, and Huo Yun hurriedly took the quilt to wrap the person from behind. Qingya left behind to pack up the things that Rong Zhao was carrying, put on a baggage, and hurriedly followed. The group of people with blood spots left the country like a gust of wind, got into Zhao Mu's carriage and returned to Rui Wangfu.

Rong Zhao woke up again at noon the next day, opened his eyes and looked at the frost-blue tent, he didn't know where he was for a while, but the next moment he remembered that his true identity had been guessed by Zhao Mu, and for a while he felt that the sky was dark, and even the delicate cordyceps embroidery on the tent became boring. So he rolled over and pulled the quilt over his head, unwilling to face anyone.

"Is Childe awake?" Mei Ruo, who had been guarding the bedside, seemed to hear the movement, so she asked softly.

Rong Zhao ignored her, at this time he didn't want to see anyone, no one wanted to pay attention.

originally thought that Mei Ruo would stop there, but the clinker girl actually opened the tent to check, because she saw Rong Zhao rolling up the quilt on her body and holding it in her arms, she sighed softly: "Childe, you have slept for a day and a night, if you wake up, get up and eat something." ”

"Hmm...... How did I sleep for so long? Rong Zhao turned to look at the bright light behind Mei Ruo, and sighed softly, "I'm back to Rui Wang's Mansion again?" ”

"Yes, you have a fever and fall asleep, Lord Rui went to see you, and I didn't worry about leaving my son alone in the country to recuperate, so I brought you back." Mei Ruo hooked up the tent as she spoke, leaned over and touched Rong Zhao's forehead, and said with satisfaction: "It's still good to recuperate at home, this fever has subsided." ”

"At home?" Rong Zhao smiled self-deprecatingly, this is not his home.

"Oh, the slave is wrong." Mei Ruo smiled embarrassedly.

Rong Zhao sighed leisurely and said, "You are not wrong, you just reminded me." ”

"What is Childe going to do?" Mei Ruo said, and brought a bowl of warm brown sugar ginger soup to feed Rong Zhao to drink.

Rong Zhao frowned in disgust: "Why do you give me this again?" ”

"Because the slave and maid counted that the day was coming, and the son suffered the cold again......"

"Nasty!" Rong Zhao's mood suddenly became terrible, pushed away the bowl in Mei Ruo's hand, and slipped into the face covered by me.

"Childe, don't play with the child's temper, the body is your own. Look at this time, you have a hangover, you stand in the cold wind on an empty stomach, you are beaten and angry, you are sick for a long time, the slaves and maids are distressed, and you yourself are guilty! Mei Ruoxu said in a babbling voice.

"Alright, please don't chatter!" Rong Zhao had no choice but to get out of the quilt and drink ginger soup obediently.

Mei Ruo watched Rong Zhao drink a bowl of ginger soup, and asked, "Childe, what did you want to say just now that the slave reminded you?" ”

"I want to ask you how much silver we have now?" Rong Zhao asked.

"Not much." Mei Ruo said in a low voice, "Didn't all that silver go to Sister Zi Ji?" Why don't you ask her? ”

Rong Zhao shook his head gently, when he left Xiliang, he converted all the family assets into silver, and only kept less than one-tenth of it by his side for backup, and handed over the rest to Zi Ji not to store it for her, but to let her take the silver to make a warehouse near the capital, which was dedicated to storing all kinds of strange flowers and herbs. Because the requirements of the treasury must be secretive, must be safe, and the temperature and ventilation conditions are also very picky, so the errand is not easy to do, especially near the imperial city, every ravine has been surveyed by officers and soldiers, and the little silver I gave Zi Ji is already tight, and now I don't know if the silver is enough.

"Childe, there are still 50,000 taels of silver left by the maid before the mother entered the palace." Mei Ruo looked at Rong Zhao's worried appearance and couldn't help but say.

"That can't be moved, it's the silver that Madame's jewelry was exchanged for, and it was specially used for my sister in the palace." Rong Zhao immediately shook his head.

"What exactly do you want to do with the money? How much? Mei Ruo asked again.

"I want to buy a house." Rong Zhao said in a low voice.

Mei Ruo was silent when he heard this, although it is good to live here, but after all, it is not his own house, King Rui treats his son like a guest because his son saved his life, but how long can this kindness be repaid?

"Why don't you find your uncle and find a way? They still have a lot of money to do business. Mei Ruoti said.

"It's true that there is no shortage of money in business, but people like him who give their daughters to others as concubines for business, don't count on it." Rong Zhao shook his head and said.

Mei Ruo said with a smile: "The slave maid thinks that he can discuss with him, the merchant is very profitable, as long as we can give him a certain benefit, he is willing to take out the silver." On the contrary, those who are high and noble are not easy to get along with, and they don't like anyone, as if everyone in the world owes him. ”

When Rong Zhao heard this, he groaned, "You are right. It's just that now we live in the Rui Wang's Mansion, and we don't even have a foothold in this capital, so what can we exchange with Ye Shenzhi? ”

Mei Ruo also felt worried when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Rong Zhao had an idea, and laughed at himself: "There is a place where you can live for a long time, but I want to wronged you." ”

"Childe is not aggrieved, what do we have to be wronged?" Mei Ruo smiled, "What is it?" Childe said to hear it? ”

"Guozijian. I am also studying for the country now, and the small suite there belongs to me, and you can live with me in disguised as a man, but Lan Yun and the others can't go with me. ”

It just so happened that Lan Yun came in with chicken soup, and when she heard Rong Zhao's words, she hurriedly said, "We can go out with Sister Zi Ji to live, a small inn or rent a small courtyard, as long as there is a shelter from the wind and rain." ”

"Then it's decided, you go back and pack your things, and wait for my news to move out." Rong Zhao said.

"Got it, Childe made some rice in chicken soup, right?" Lan Yun put the tray in his hand on the small table next to the bed, and turned around to wring the hand towel to wipe Rong Zhao's face.

Rong Zhao is thinking about how to move to Guozijian here, but Zhao Mu is thinking about how to let Rong Zhao leave Guozijian and go back to Rui Wangfu directly, studying or something, in Zhao Mu's opinion, it is too dangerous - a girl's family mixes with a group of men all day long, maybe one day she will be exposed! This is not a trivial matter, Rong Zhao still has the identity of the prince of Jingxi Houfu, if this is exposed, Jingxi Houfu is guilty of bullying the king, and he will not survive.

"Lord Wang, Second Prince Xiao, Gongzi Xie, and Gongzi Gu asked to see him, saying that they came to visit Gongzi Rong's illness." Mama Song came in and interrupted Zhao Mu's thoughts.

"Please come in." Zhao Mu said.

Mama Song looked at Zhao Mu's listless appearance, and persuaded again: "The word from the courtyard has come to say that Gongzi Rong has woken up, if the prince is tired of coping, why don't you ask a few sons to go directly to the courtyard?" ”

Zhao Mu frowned slightly and looked at Mama Song, but didn't say anything.

Mama Song hurriedly bowed down and responded: "It's the slave who is talking too much, begging the prince to forgive me!" The slave then asked someone to invite a few sons over. ”

It didn't take long for Mama Song to come in with Xiao Xun, Xie Yi and Gu Chen. After the three of them greeted Zhao Mu, they each sat down, and then explained their intentions. Xiao Xun sighed: "I didn't expect Rong Zhao's physical foundation to be so poor, he would get sick after three hits, and he was so sick." ”

"I drank the night before, had a hangover, didn't even drink a sip of hot water the next morning, and ran to stand in the cold wind after a few words with Mr. Guo, and then I was beaten, everything was added together, and then my body was already weak, I definitely couldn't stand it." Xiao Xun shook his head and said.

"I think the most important thing is Guo Fuzi's board! It's rare to hit your hands like that with three clicks. Xie Yi snorted.

"How many years has Guo Yi taken the ring ruler? I don't say how to teach the book in advance, but I have the most experience in playing the board. Gu Chen flattened his mouth with a look of disdain, "If you want me to say, he must be trying to take the opportunity to please someone." ”

"Want to curry favor with King Su?!" Zhao Mu was suddenly angry.

"The prince is angry, he may not think so. At that time, I went to the saint statue to think about it, and Zhao Hai and Zhao Jun also went. Xie Yi hurriedly gave Gu Chen a look and persuaded.

"Hmph." Zhao Mu couldn't listen to anything else, and there was only one thing in his heart at this time, Guo Yi's old puppet actually killed Rong Zhao in order to please King Su!

"Lord Wang, I don't know how Rong Gongzi's illness is, we want to go over and see him." Xie Yi looked at Zhao Mu's ugly face and hurriedly diverted the topic.

"He's still asleep, so you don't have to go there. When he woke up, I called someone to tell him that you had all been here. Zhao Mu restrained his anger, and his tone became much softer.

"Guozijian's father has already said that he will give Rong Zhao half a month of leave for him to recuperate, no matter how important his studies are, he is not as important as his body." Xiao Xun said.

"That's right." Zhao Mu nodded, and was very satisfied with Xiao Zhengshi's approach this time.

A few people gossiped in Xiuyuan Hall for a while and drank half a cup of tea, and because they couldn't visit Rong Zhao, they got up and said goodbye.

Zhao Mu ordered Mama Song and Huo Yun to send the three of them out, but he couldn't sit still, even if he put on a cloak and asked someone to lift the shoulder sedan chair over, he took the shoulder sedan chair to the courtyard to see Rong Zhao. It happened that the maids on Rong Zhao's side were packing their things, and as soon as Zhao Mu came in, he saw that everyone was busy packing boxes and looking like they were about to flee, so he asked strangely: "What are you doing here?" ”

When Lan Yun and the others saw Zhao Mu, they all stopped what they were doing and saluted. Mei Ruo in the house heard the movement and quickly got up to welcome her, and for the sake of Rong Zhao, she pulled the quilt over and turned to pretend to sleep.

Zhao Mu asked Mei Ruo as he walked into the house: "What are these girls doing?" ”

Mei Ruo hurriedly smiled and said: "Our son is going to study in the country, and it is not good for us to live in the palace all the time." Childe found a house for us outside, and when Childe went to Guozijian, we should also move out. ”

Zhao Mu's heart was half cold when he heard this, but his face was silent, and he said: "Don't worry about going to Guozijian first, wait until your son-in-law's illness is cured." Just now, Xiao Xun and the others came to visit the patient, and also said Xiao Shangshu's words, academic studies are not as important as physical health, let Rong Zhao recuperate in the house in the past half a month, and wait until his health is better. ”

Mei Ruo was very grateful when she heard this, but she didn't know what to say.

"Where's Rong Zhao?" Zhao Mu went directly into Rong Zhao's bedroom, and asked as he walked to the bed, "Didn't you say that you were awake?" ”

I can't pretend to sleep anymore! Rong Zhao sighed and turned around, frowned and instructed Mei Ruo: "What are you going to do next, don't go and make tea for the prince." ”

Mei Ruo hurriedly agreed to go out and took Lan Yun and the others outside.

"Mei Ruo is such a good girl." Zhao Mu said and sat down in front of Rong Zhao's bed.

Rong Zhao glanced at Zhao Mu and said coldly: "If the prince wants to say anything, just say it, there is no third person here." ”

Zhao Mu looked at Rong Zhao, whose thorns were erected all over his body, and sighed helplessly: "I don't have the intention of harming you, why are you so defensive of me?" ”

"I know you don't have the intention of harming me, but you have peeked into my deepest secret, and I can't calm down in front of you." Rong Zhao told the truth.

Zhao Mu knew that this was the truth, exhaled lightly, and said, "I understand your current mood." But please believe me, I am willing to cooperate with you to hide this matter. You have gained a foothold in the capital here, and after a long time, if it weren't for me, it would definitely be someone else. The word 'seamless' is just a word, and those people will pick out the bones from the eggs in order to make enemies of you, you know? So I think in this matter, it's good that it's me. Otherwise, you're really going to be doomed. ”

Rong Zhao looked at Zhao Mu's eyes, his eyes were calm and calm, and his expression was even more calm, as if he was saying something extremely ordinary.

Staring at him for a long time, Rong Zhao sighed leisurely, turned his face, folded his hands behind his head, looked at the top of the tent, and said, "The prince wants to cover me, I believe it." So you can talk about your conditions. ”

"There are no conditions." Zhao Mu said.

Rong Zhao chuckled: "I never believe in unconditional things." ”

"Well, if you insist on one condition, then I'll make one."

"You say."

"I want you to always be sincere with me and don't lie to me." Zhao Mu said slowly.

Rong Zhao suddenly sat up straight and stared at Zhao Mu, and sneered for a while: "What conditions do you calculate?" ”

"It's not hard for you." Zhao Mu smiled slightly, looking very pure and harmless.

"But in this case, I am a transparent person in front of you." Rong Zhao sneered.

"Will you hurt me in the future? Or are you harming my heart in the first place? Zhao Mu asked.

"Joke! If I want to hurt you, do I have to wait until now? Rong Zhao asked rhetorically.

"Isn't this the end?! Do you have the intention of harming me, and what can you hide from me? Zhao Mu asked with a smile.

Rong Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "The ** that has nothing to do with you needs to hide it from you, I don't have exhibitionism." ”

"Whether it has anything to do with me or not, we can discuss and decide." Zhao Mu said.

"It seems that if I don't promise you, you're not finished?" Rong Zhao asked funny.

"It's you who said it yourself, and you didn't agree to it."

"Well, that's it. By the way, I tell you, tomorrow I will go back to Guozijian to study, Mei Ruo disguised herself as a man and followed me to Guozijian, you can figure out a way to do this. The other maids have also looked for a house outside, and will move out with me tomorrow. ”

"You are still sick, there is no need to worry about returning to the prison."

"I'm all right - all right, don't contradict me, I have my body. Besides, I just don't want to be under your nose, I don't want to be seen by you, okay? Rong Zhao said impatiently.

Zhao Mu was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes, I can promise you your conditions, but you need to answer me a question." ”

"Just ask." Rong Zhao lazily leaned on the pillow and hummed softly: "What else can't be said at this time?" If you have any questions, just ask. ”

"Although you look as good-looking as a girl, your facial features are not soft enough compared to girls, and you are a little masculine, if this is the characteristic of the dragon and phoenix fetus, then I also believe it, but why is your body ...... Also not having the characteristics of a girl? Zhao Mu said, his gaze wandering calmly on his chest.

Rong Zhao glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "You don't have to be so spittering, you just say why I don't have breasts or ass, and I don't look like a girl at all?" ”

"Why? You're seventeen years old, and a girl your age should have developed physically. Zhao Mu asked.

"Have you ever heard of the Purple Imperial Body Soup?"

"Nope."

"It is a decoction that has a nourishing effect on boys, and it is said to be a secret recipe from a different race, but if you give it to a girl for a long time, the girl will grow neither male nor female, and after taking it for a certain number of years, she will become a monster that is neither male nor female. And I, on the other hand, took that decoction from the age of five until I was fourteen. So, do you understand? ”

Rong Zhao's expression was indifferent when he said this, and his voice did not carry any emotion, as if he was talking about other people's affairs. However, Zhao Mu couldn't stand it anymore, he swept his clenched fist and pushed the high table at hand, and one of the covers on it fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

Rong Zhao chuckled: "Why are you so excited? It has nothing to do with you. Besides, isn't it better for you to cover for me like this? ”

"Say no more!" Zhao Mu suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart and shouted in a dumb voice.

In fact, there is no need to ask, it must be the Ye family who gave him the purple imperial body soup, and no one can fool his mother if he has this kind of thing. And this is where Zhao Mu is most angry - a mother, in order to consolidate her position in the family, actually did such a poisonous hand to her own flesh and blood! Doesn't she want to think about the future? There will always be a day when things will be revealed, the child will marry a wife and have children when he grows up, how should a son who dresses as a man marry a wife? How to have children? How can she be so reckless and crazy!

Looking at the tendons on Zhao Mu's head, Rong Zhao smiled lightly: "Why are you so angry?" I'm not angry myself. ”

Zhao Mu glanced at him again, and Fang asked slowly: "Who else knows that you are a daughter, except for Mei Ruo and your mother Ye?" ”

Rong Zhao's eyes tightened, and he looked at Zhao Mu with slightly empty eyes, and only said after a while: "There is also Zi Ji." ”

"Where's your sister?"

"She didn't know. It is impossible for the Ye family to let her know such a thing, you have seen my sister, you can also see her temperament, she can't hold such a thing in her heart, and she will definitely go out of her way. If I had to ask Mei Ruo to give me that kind of decoction every night, I am afraid that the Ye family would even have to hide it from Mei Ruo. Rong Zhao thought that he must leave his sister behind, no matter whether Zhao Mu would fight to the end for him in this matter, but he must not affect his sister.

"Okay, I've got it." Zhao Mu nodded slowly, in his heart, there was no true affection between brothers and sisters, and it was reasonable for Rong Yue not to know about this matter, and he had nothing to doubt.

"If the prince is fine, please go back, I'm tired too." After saying so many things that he never said to people in secret, Rong Zhao felt as if he had been evacuated, and his bones were full of exhaustion.

"Don't worry about returning to China to supervise your studies, your uncle has already arranged it for you, and you can rest for half a month. Also, Guo Yi was bitten by a dog and broke his arm bone, which can't be hidden, and he will definitely play the emperor. So the more severe your illness is now, the better, understand? ”

Rong Zhao nodded, didn't he say in his heart that he was just beating a rake? Lao Tzu did this thing smoothly.

"You just said that you found a house outside for those girls to live in, what kind of place is it? Security is not safe? Is it convenient or not? Do you want me to send someone to clean up first? Zhao Mu asked again.

Speaking of this, Rong Zhao blushed a little, so he had to say: "The matter was done by Zi Ji, I don't know yet." ”

"Okay, I'll ask her myself when Zi Ji comes back, you just take care of your birth and illness, and you don't need to worry about these trivial matters." Zhao Mu saw that Rong Zhao wanted to refute, and frowned again and said: "Now you and I are grasshoppers on a vine, some things I can do, what you can do, needless to say, do everything yourself." I'm a person who doesn't like to talk nonsense, and I don't like to toss the same thing over and over again. In the past half a month, you have been so refreshed, and you don't need to worry about other things, I don't want to repeat this. ”

Rong Zhao swallowed his saliva, and scolded from his heart, you bastard, you have caught Lao Tzu's weakness, but you are playing with prestige!
