Chapter 181: What to Drink?
Qiyun whispered: "Emperor Xuanguo has died, and now is the period of national mourning." ”
Xia Chen looked surprised: "The emperor is dead?" ”
"Princess, you can't say 'die'!"
Xia Chen covered his lips: "Then have you heard who is about to ascend the throne?" Just now she seemed to hear what the woman said about the prince, and she also knew that Emperor Xuan had no son.
Qiyun thought for a moment: "It seems to be the King of the Sea." ”
"How is he!"
Qiyun said: "Emperor Xuan's sons and brothers are all dead, and those who are eligible to inherit the throne are his cousins King Hailing, King Ge, King Bai, and ...... I don't remember exactly, but in fact, only King Hai and King Ge are possible. ”
Xia Chen's heart was bad, although she had only seen King Hai Ling once, but she felt that this person was very scheming, and it was obvious that he was hostile to Helan Yong, if He Lan Yong was still the right person to inherit the throne in everyone's eyes, then he would be in danger.
"Qiyun, let's go back."
"Hmm."
When she returned to the village and found that the coachman was moving things to a carriage, she immediately found Hua Manlou: "Dude, are you leaving?" ”
"Well, suddenly there's an urgent matter to deal with. The princess will go back with me, and when the matter is done, I will bring the medicinal herbs that I may need and send the princess back. ”
Xia Chen shook his head: "I can't go with you, I have to go back to the palace." ”
Hua Manlou looked at her deeply: "Is something wrong?" ”
Xia Chen hesitated for a moment: "I heard that Emperor Xuan is dead, and King Hai Liang is going to inherit the throne." ”
"The princess is worried about King Ge?"
Xia Chen was stunned: "I don't know, but there will be a lot of changes at this time." I thought it would be better to go back and have a look. ”
Hua Manlou stood up: "The poison on the princess hasn't been solved yet!" Could it be that in the princess's mind, the prince's affairs are more important than her own life? ”
"Of course not, I've been feeling better lately and my head doesn't hurt anymore. I don't think it's very poisonous. She couldn't tell whether she felt straight about King Ge, was she grateful? Is it righteous anger? Be......
A trace of anger appeared on Hua Manlou's face: "You are a Gu poison!" Although not as painful as the Nether Cup in the Dustless Place, it is more vicious than the Nether Cup. ”
Xia Chen was dazed and shocked when he heard this: "What are you talking about? ”
Hua Manlou hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I just want you to understand that your life is actually in danger at any time." ”
"But isn't Shang Gongzi already looking for an antidote?"
Hua Manlou said: "The person who poisoned you is dead, and there is no news about Wuchen so far, I think the antidote can't be counted on." ”
Xia Chen suddenly found that her reason was in a fierce confrontation with an inexplicable impulse, and she obviously wanted to recover her memory. She should have put her life first, not to mention that she will be back soon. And it's complete and healthy back, but why? Why did she want to return to Helan Yong's side immediately?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Hua Manlou sighed: "Princess, don't be embarrassed. I will prepare medicine for the princess. Come back after doing your job. ”
Xia Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Hua Manlou gratefully: "Thank you." ”
She never imagined that she would wake up again from her sleep this night, five days later. She found herself sitting in the carriage with her head resting on the crook of Hua Manlou's arms, and he looked at her with a smile on his face.
"Chen'er, are you really tired of playing, and you have slept for so long?"
Xia Chen's eyes widened: "What did you say?" ”
Hua Manlou said: "Brother Fengyue said that you were playing too crazy and slept all day." ”
Xia Chen sat up: "Brother Fengyue? You...... I? ”
Hua Manlou patted her face: "Sleepy? ”
Xia Chen was really confused. But when she thought about it, she felt dizzy, and her mind was even more chaotic. How did she sleep this night? It seems like I've had a lot of dreams. I can't tell where reality is and where dreams are. And Hua Manlou said that she was tired of playing, where did she go to play?
Hua Manlou poured her a cup of tea: "Drink a cup of tea to refresh yourself, I'll be in Qingzhou soon." ”
"Oh." Xia Chen felt that he was really thirsty.
The tea is very fragrant, and after drinking it, there is a burst of aroma between the lips and teeth, and this aroma seems to make people intoxicated. "What kind of tea is this?"
Hua Manlou said softly: "Forget worry tea, do you like it?" ”
"Well, that's the right name." Xia Chen said and looked out the car window. Suddenly, a few fast horses swept by, raising a cloud of dust, and they looked like errand officers.
Hua Manlou said: "Chen'er, I want to live in Qingzhou County for a few days, we have everything in the village here, and I just ordered someone to invite an imperial chef to come, I believe that many of the dishes he makes cannot be eaten in the restaurant." ”
"Really? Then I must try it. After that, she rubbed her forehead: "Uh, Brother Fengyue, why is my head groggy?" ”
"It's always boring to sleep in the carriage, it's still half a day away from home, so you can sleep a little longer."
Xia Chen nodded blankly, secretly wondering if she was sick, why her brain seemed to be rusty, and what Brother Fengyue said felt familiar to her, but also a little unfamiliar.
The garden is full of splendor, the shadows of the trees are oblique, and the flowers and trees are still fragrant. Light singing and dancing, delicious food, and joy. Xia Chen felt that her current life was like a dream, and it was a beautiful dream. lives in a paradise-like courtyard, eats exquisite and delicious food, and is accompanied by a perfect lover-like brother Fengyue all day long, even the queen concubine is not as good as her.
In the Yueminghui room, she walked to the table and poured a cup of worry-free tea, but raised it to her lips but didn't drink it. The recent days of life have made her feel very unreal and boring. There are no pursuits, no challenges, no worries, and even no thoughts, every day she is cared for and cared for, and she feels like she has become a delicate doll.
Her hair fell like a cascade over her shoulders, and she lifted a strand and wrapped it around her fingers...... Past, present, and future, she was lost, thinking that tomorrow morning someone would dress her up beautifully, and then he would accompany her to breakfast, and then he would take her out for a walk, and sometimes he would play the piano to her, and after lunch a pot of tea, and then take a nap......
The next day was exactly what she thought, and at lunch, she couldn't help but ask Hua Manlou curiously: "Brother Fengyue." You must be very rich, and I find that the dishes you eat these days are not the same. ”
Hua Manlou smiled faintly: "I always thought that being rich was not a good thing, but now I am glad that I am rich." So that I can buy you all the good things in this world. He put some vegetables into her bowl: "It's a pity that some things can't be bought for more money." ”
Xia Chen felt that his tone was a little bitter, and said, "What is Brother Fengyue referring to?" ”
"Affection, dignity, loyalty, and many others cannot be bought by money, there are hundreds of people in this village, if one day I am down, I want to believe that no one will stay with me."
"Brother Fengyue, I feel that your assumption is completely mediocre. Not to mention, the chances of such a situation happening are very small, and even if there is one day, you will not go hungry with your talents. ”
Hua Manlou stared at her: "Chen'er." Will you stay with me forever? ”
Xia Chen was a little flustered by him, and looked down and counted the rice grains in the bowl: "Brother Fengyue, I am a person who does not believe in eternity, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow." So I'm more concerned about today than tomorrow. ”
Hua Manlou reached out and held her hand: "You're right. I used to think too much, so I missed a lot. Chen'er, will you marry me? I will do everything in my power to make you happy. ”
Xia Chen retracted his hand: "Brother Fengyue, I'...... You make me think about it, I always feel like I'm not a whole person right now, and I have too many gaps in my memory to make a decision. ”
"Chen'er, since you don't believe in it, you only care about the present. That past one qiē was so heavy or? ”
Xia Chen smiled bitterly: "A person without a past is equal to a person without a self, would you like a person without a self?" ”
Hua Manlou hesitated slightly. Then his eyes became more determined: "I don't care, and I know you, I'm sure you're the person I'm looking for, and we can create a future together." ”
Xia Chenhu looked at him suspiciously: "Brother Fengyue, you said you know me?" Have we known each other for a long time? ”
Hua Manlou said softly: "It's been a long time, Chen'er, and I fell in love with you a long time ago." ”
"Brother Fengyue, can you tell me what you know about my past?"
"Of course, but you have to promise me first."
Xia Chen frowned slightly: "Brother Fengyue? Are you talking to me about the conditions? ”
"No, because we have been through many things in the past, I am afraid that ten days and a half months will not be able to finish, and I have been waiting for many years, and I do not want to wait a day any longer."
Xia Chen clasped his hand behind his back: "Brother Fengyue, since you have been waiting for me for a long time, wait for me for two more days." "No matter how you look at it, he is a rare good man, and she likes him in her heart, but for some reason her heart is always a little hot, maybe she has too many things to worry about, so she has to figure it out before making a decision.
"Two days? All right. I'll tell you now how we met. ”
"Hmm."
"You were nine years old when I met you, and you were dressed as a boy, and you were injured ......"
Xia Chen couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "I didn't expect us to meet like this, by the way, Brother Fengyue, you said that I went to the hospital with my uncle at the time?" Do you know his name? Where is it now? ”
"I don't know, he seems to have dropped you off at your grandmother's house and left, and your grandmother has passed away, and you were kicked out of the house by your uncle and aunt, so I don't know much about your relatives."
"Well, do you know any of my friends?"
Hua Manlou smiled: "Actually, we haven't seen each other for a few years before this reunion, so we ......"
Xia Chen sighed: "Forget it, don't talk about this, I'm a little sleepy." By the way, Brother Fengyue, you said that I used to like to wear men's clothes, can you prepare two sets for me? I'm curious. ”
"Okay, I'll have someone buy it right away. You go for a nap first. Hua Manlou stood up and grabbed her hand: "I'll send you back to the room." ”
Xia Chen heard Hua Manlou tell Qiyun: "Don't forget to make tea for Chen'er, she will definitely feel thirsty when she wakes up later." ”
"Yes, Childe."
Xia Chen half-leaned on the head of the bed, biting his lip hard, using pain to fight drowsiness. When she heard the door being pushed, she immediately lay down and pretended to be asleep.
Qiyun put the tea on the table, went to the bed again, glanced at her, and turned to leave. Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xia Chen immediately sat up, turned over, got out of bed, and poured a cup of tea, and suddenly remembered that the straw mushroom soup for lunch today was delicious, she drank a lot, and the soup was very light, why is she so thirsty now, she almost felt that her throat was dry and about to smoke.
She picked up the teapot and teacup, walked to the window and looked out, and saw that no one jumped out of the window to pour the tea into the grass, and then lay on the side of the stream and drank a few sips of water. This stream of water is drawn from a mountain spring, and it is clear and sweet, but she still feels thirsty after drinking a lot.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps not far away, and she hurried back to her room through the window and lay down on the couch. After a while, Qiyun quietly pushed the door in, walked to the table, opened the teapot and took a look, and found that most of the flowers and water were missing, so he saved up some and turned to leave.
Xia Chen opened his eyes and stared at the door, his heartbeat quickened a little. What exactly do they give themselves to drink? Could it be that Hua Manlou has been lying to her!
In the evening, Qiyun sent two sets of men's clothes. Xia Chen pretended to be curious: "Qiyun, Brother Fengyue said that I liked to wear men's clothes when I was a child, you help me comb my son's bun, I want to try." ”
"Okay."
Looking at himself in the mirror, Xia Chen smiled: "Qiyun, how do you think I compare to Brother Fengyue?" ”
Qiyun smiled: "More handsome than my son-in-law." ”
"Really? Then I must let Brother Fengyue take a look. Xia Chen said and walked out.
Hua Manlou looked at her straight for a while: "Well, it's really like Zhilan Yushu's graceful demeanor." ”
Xia Chen blinked his eyes: "Brother Fengyue, if I go out like this, will I charm many girls?" ”
"Definitely." No wonder she can hide from everyone to become a martial champion, although she is too handsome in men's clothes, but she exudes a sense of heroism on her body, and she does not have the twist of her daughter's family at all.
Xia Chen turned his back and stuck out his tongue playfully: "Brother Fengyue, let's go out for a walk." ”
Hua Manlou walked up to her and stroked her cheek: "What if you are taken by a girl and have to marry you?" ”
Xia Chen said: "Then I'll marry." ”
Hua Manlou shrugged his shoulders: "Chen'er, it's not too early, and I have to visit a friend, can I go out with you tomorrow?" ”
"Okay then."
Hua Manlou said with guilt: "I can't have dinner with you, you remember to eat more." ”
"Got it, I'll walk around, you're busy."
Xia Chen once again familiarized herself with the terrain of the village, and after dinner, she poured out most of the Qiyun tea and went to bed early as usual.
After Qiyun came to check and stored tea and left, she sat up and looked at the door of the room, she was extremely excited when she thought about leaving here, but at this time she was a little hesitant and worried, Hua Manlou was good to her, and she didn't even know where she was going to leave here. Suddenly she heard footsteps, and she immediately lay down and covered herself with a quilt and pretended to sleep. (To be continued......)
