Chapter 153: Suspicion
The reunion with Si Hong Bowen was short and sweet. But when she stared into his eyes, there was an imperceptible uneasiness in her heart. Qingmei just said 'restless', which made her suddenly think of this feeling.
In the past, he exuded a cold and noble temperament, even when he was talking and laughing with her, it was difficult to hide a trace of coldness in the depths of his eyes. But this time, she felt that there was something more in his gaze that she couldn't guess.
Although she wasn't sure what it was, her intuition told her that Si Hong's transformation seemed to have something to do with his injuries. Who cured him? The hidden miracle doctor, when he treated the emperor, he also used this name as a cover-up.
After thinking about it, Xia Qingyun planned to go to Zhiqiu to ask.
Si Hong Bowen lives in the cross-courtyard on the east side, and from her study, you have to pass through the main room.
Passing by the window of the main house, there was a burst of laughter in the room. Xia Qingyun's ears were very strong, and she heard Zhen Guogong and Xia Jianping talking about her marriage to Si Hong Bowen.
Lowering her head and speeding up her pace, she didn't want to be afraid of being seen by them, so she grabbed the one who asked questions.
Through a small door, she came to the East Cross Courtyard, which was her first time here. The courtyard is not big, there is a big tree next to the wall, and under the bare branches, there is a stone table and four stone benches. There was still a thin layer of snow on the tables and stools, and I didn't have time to clean it.
She heard movement in the study, so she walked to the door and asked, "Is Zhiqiu there?" ”
Zhiqiu lifted the curtain and invited her in, bowed, and said, "What does the county lord command?" ”
Xia Qingyun put the bamboo box in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "I'll send you some tea." Bowen he went out? ”
"Back to the county lord, the son said that he had something urgent to do, so he left for a while." Zhiqiu replied respectfully.
While he was talking, Dark Moon, Sword Shadow and Shadow Gate each came in with a large stack of bookcases in their arms, Xia Qingyun was surprised, "Why are you still here, didn't you go with Gongzi?" ”
The three of Sword Shadow put down the bookcase and hurriedly saluted, saying, "The prince instructed us to pack our luggage, saying that the capital is peaceful, and we don't need to follow us all the time." ”
After speaking. Turned and walked out of the study. Zhiqiu stopped what she was doing, looked at Xia Qingyun and stopped talking.
Xia Qingyun smiled: "Why didn't I see each other for a few months?" ”
Zhiqiu's face was slightly embarrassed, "Miss is now the county lord"
"The county lord is sealed by the emperor, and I am still me." She smiled and sat down in her chair. Look around. The study was very simple. There was nothing decorative, just a colorful tiger skin on the chair behind the bookcase.
Zhiqiu looked outside. Cover the door, walk to Xia Qingyun's side, hesitate for a moment, and then whisper: "County Lord, do you feel that Gongzi is not the same as before?" ”
Xia Qingyun nodded and said, "I also came to ask you this, when you left, you promised me to write as soon as I arrived in the southwest, but I didn't wait." What the hell is going on? Who healed Childe's injury? Don't tell me it's a hidden doctor, I don't believe it. ”
Zhiqiu replied in a low voice: "Do you remember that parchment, with the name of the dragon bone diagram written on it, the dragon bone diagram is the wizard of the barbarian country, it is he who used the skinning technique to remove the scars on the childe's body. ”
"How is this possible!" Xia Qingyun was shocked.
She clearly remembered that Si Hongrui had told her that as early as more than ten years ago, Si Hongrui led his troops to suppress bandits in Hengduan Mountain and captured a small group of barbarians, among whom there was a wizard named Dragon Bone Tu. The man had a lot of backbone, and he would rather die than be a prisoner, and committed suicide with a dagger. Si Hongrui also let people bury him alive, and there is no reason to live again!
Zhiqiu said again, "I arrived at the barracks that day and handed the parchment to Gongzi, who only glanced at it and put it away, saying that the matter would be handed over to Zhenguo Gong to investigate, and then there was no news. I wanted to write to you as soon as I arrived in the southwest, but Childe said that he had sent someone to inform you that I didn't have to do anything more. ”
"By the time you arrived at the barracks, his injuries were all healed?"
Zhiqiu shook her head, "It's only more than half of it, the dragon bone diagram has been going on for three months in a row, and every month I will come to treat my son, cut off the necrotic skin and muscles, and apply a layer of medicinal powder." I think that since Childe recovered from his injury, his temperament has become different from before, but I can't say what is different. ”
Xia Qingyun said thoughtfully, "I feel the same way. Have you ever mentioned this to anyone? ”
"I quietly asked them about Dark Moon, and they all laughed at my heart, saying that Childe was happy because he had healed his injury."
Zhiqiu still wanted to say something, but a few people came in with something in Dark Moon again, and Xia Qingyun got up and said, "The son is injured, but fortunately, otherwise the lady and the master should be so sad." You are busy, and I will bring some tea to Madame. ”
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, she whispered to Zhiqiu: "Don't tell others about this matter first, I will tell Guogong about it." ”
People who have been dead for more than ten years, how can they appear again, and the peeling technique sounds terrible, what is that medicinal powder? She pondered as she walked, came to the study, sat down in front of the bookcase, and pondered.
After thinking about it, she decided to find a chance to talk to Si Hongrui and tell him about Si Hongbowen's injury and the keel diagram. Si Hongrui saw the dragon bone diagram commit suicide with his own eyes, maybe only he could tell whether the dead dragon bone diagram and the one who treated Si Hongbowen's injuries were the same person.
That night, Si Hong Bowen really didn't go back to the house to eat. Xia Qingyun wanted to find a time to tell Si Hongrui after dinner, but before the meal was finished, an urgent edict came from the palace and asked Si Hongrui to enter the palace quickly.
It wasn't until the end of the second watch that Si Hongrui came back, and his face didn't look like something big had happened. Seeing Xia Qingyun waiting in the study, he asked with a smile: "You haven't rested so late, but do you have something to discuss with your father?" ”
Si Hongrui thought that Xia Qingyun heard them talking about their relationship, so he came over.
Xia Qingyun made a cup of hot tea and brought it to Si Hongrui, "My daughter does have a big deal to tell her father." ”
Si Hongrui picked up the teacup, gently blew off the foam, took a sip, and asked with a smile: "But about Bowen?" ”
Xia Qingyun saw the smile on his face, and knew that he would be wrong, so he walked up to the front and gave a light salute, "Father, Qingyun used to hide something from his father, and asked his father not to be angry with his daughter." ”
Si Hongrui put down the teacup and looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "What, are you already with Bowen?"
Xia Qingyun's face turned red, and he said, "There is no step between me and him. However, what I'm going to say is really related to the blog post. ”
She told her in detail about the process of her acquaintance and relationship with Si Hongbowen, especially Si Hongbowen's injury, she had witnessed it with her own eyes, and the story was even more vivid, which made Si Hongrui listen to it, and couldn't help but feel numb on the scalp.
After learning the conversation with Zhiqiu in the afternoon again, Si Hongrui's face suddenly turned pale, and he stood up and paced back and forth in the study.
Half-ringing, he paused and looked at Xia Qingyun, "This matter is not trivial, I suspect that the dragon bone diagram for Bowen's injury is the wizard for the emperor's Gu!" (To be continued......)
