Chapter 37: His Royal Highness the Prince
"Harm, master, what should I do, you two don't know, he, is our famous wine putty here, drinking from morning to night every day, wine does not leave the mouth, there is no reliable word in this mouth, if he says something wrong and offends the two of you, you two don't go to your heart." Xiao Er saw that the two of them asked about the wine putty, and with a haha on his lips, he filled the wine cups of the two people.
"I said brother," the seller waved away from the shopkeeper and whispered, "Are your nerves too tight?" You take the words of a drunk to heart?"
"Yes," thought the other vendor, holding up his cup, "come, come, drink, drink." ”
"Who?" Yuchen was just about to lie down, when he saw a figure flashing outside the window, and he couldn't help but get up to check.
Pushing open the door, I saw Huachen standing outside the door, looking around, Yuchen stretched out his hand and pulled Huachen into the room, and lit the candle with his hand: "Sneaky, it scares me all over the sweat."
"I went to Mingyuexuan in the afternoon to see her." Huachen drank water.
"How? I've seen that portrait before, but it's been too long. Is she like the one in the portrait? Yuchen asked.
"Don't worry, it's not like it at all. I'm afraid of Mother Xu now. Mother Xu is the only one who has been in contact with Qiu Tang in her childhood for a long time. Moreover, this evening, the reward on the list has risen to twenty taels. After Hua Chen poured a large pot of herbal tea, he felt much more comfortable, "In the end, it is a holy person, this tea is delicious." ”
"Mother Xu...... Hopefully she doesn't know who they're looking for. Yuchen ignored Hua Chen's ridicule.
"Mother Xu is a fine person. It's better to guard against it, after all, there are twenty taels of silver now. Hua Chen saw that Yuchen was full of sorrow, and reminded him, "Okay, I'm leaving." If you don't go back, you will be discovered by the master. You have to pay attention to your body. Hua Chen looked at the shallow dark circles under Yuchen's eyes by candlelight, and was a little worried.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. Yuchen smiled reluctantly.
"By the way, I'm going to go to the Holy City again in two days, and I'm going to bring back the noodles that I didn't have time to buy last time to send you." Hua Chen walked to the door and turned back and said.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." The corners of Yuchen's mouth hooked a good-looking arc, bright and beautiful. "You can take this bag of tea with you." Yuchen stuffed a small bag of wrapped tea in Hua Chen's arms, and Yu Chen knew that Hua Chen liked this tea, so he prepared it early.
"Mom, Boss Gu of Xiyuan sent someone." Early in the morning, Pearl led a little boy into the antechamber.
"Mother Xu, it's early." Xiao Tong gave a deep salute, "My senior brother Yuchen felt unwell when he got up this morning, and Master asked me to come and tell Mother Xu that Miss Qiutang doesn't have to go to Xiyuan today." ”
"Okay, greet Boss Gu and your Senior Brother Yuchen on my behalf." Mother Xu smiled, "Have you asked for a doctor?" ”
"Imperial Doctor Li from the Holy God in the West Garden is already treating Senior Brother, Mother Xu can rest assured." The boy replied.
"That's good. Pearl, go to the kitchen to get a bag of snacks and send him back to Xiyuan. Mother Xu commanded.
"Thank you, Mother Xu." The boy thanked him with a salute.
"Yu'er?" Mu Jianyu noticed that the little hand held in his palm moved slightly, so he leaned over and fell down lightly.
"Father." Mu Lingyu heard Mu Jianyu's voice, his lips squirmed slightly, and he wanted to shout, but he didn't make a sound. Mu Lingyu felt that his body was unprecedentedly heavy, he couldn't move if he wanted to, he couldn't speak, Mu Lingyu only felt that there was a thick black fog in front of him, enveloping him.
"Yu'er?" Mu Jianyu clearly saw his son's mouth move for a moment, and then he didn't react, he shook Mu Lingyu's body, and whispered softly, trying to wake him up.
Father...... Mu Lingyu's voice can only be heard by himself, Mu Lingyu's call to him led him to go deeper into the black fog, gradually, Mu Lingyu's call became clearer and clearer, Mu Lingyu mustered up all his strength and called "Father!" ”
"Father is here, father is here." This time Mu Jianyu heard it, he held his son's hand tightly, for fear that if he let go a little, Mu Lingyu would leave him, he no longer had Concubine Yun, and he could not lose his and Concubine Yun's only child.
Mu Lingyu struggled to open his eyes, the black mist in front of him was gone, and all that came into view was Mu Lingyu's wrinkled face.
"From today on, the Tai Hospital needs to send someone to serve the five princes and recuperate their bodies, and if there is a mistake, the Tai Doctor who is waiting for them will be buried together!" Seeing Mu Lingyu wake up, Mu Jianyu breathed a sigh of relief, he was old, and he was afraid that he would no longer be able to withstand the pain of losing his son. Mu Jianyu touched Mu Lingyu's face with pity, stood up and said, "The fifth prince Mu Lingyu cares about the people, has a common mind, is strategic, clever and intelligent, and has a good character. He was crowned as the prince, inherited the unification, and embraced my great country. ”
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Mother Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you forgot me!" There was no need to go to Xiyuan, Xu's mother took Qiutang to Caifeng Tower, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard Liu's mother's coquettish voice with a handkerchief.
"How so? Mother Liu laughed. Mother Xu took Mother Liu's hand and sat down.
"Liuyun, take your sister Qiutang to touch pai gow, I'll talk to Xu's mother for a while." Mother Liu sent Qiu Tang out, the last time Qiu Tang was scared and her little face turned pale, Mother Liu still remembered it clearly.
"There have been a lot of people in the city lately, have you noticed?" Mother Liu lowered her voice.
"I noticed, but I don't know what they're here for." Mother Xu gently shook the fan, and the room was a little stuffy.
"A few days ago, our girl here went to Xue Bowen's house to serve the wine bureau, and I heard them talk about it, saying that they were here to find someone."
"Who? It's worth twenty taels of silver, and you disguise yourself as all kinds of people to secretly look for it?"
"It is said that she is a girl from a national teacher's family in the Holy City. But I don't think so. Two of them had been here last time. Mother Liu's eyes were rolling around, always paying attention to the movement outside the door.
"Last time?" Mother Xu stopped shaking the fan.
"That's the time they killed people in my backyard." Mother Liu leaned into Mother Xu's ear and said softly, Mother Xu was so shocked that her hair stood on end.
"Didn't you already take someone with you last time? Why is it here again? ”
"I heard that the people above didn't believe it, so I sent another group of people to find it" Mother Liu sat up straight and shook her fan.
"This is looking for someone, this is here to seek revenge!" Xu's mother seemed to have figured out something.
"Don't talk about it, I'm scared when I think about it. Let's go, play Pai Gow with the girls, and relax. Mother Liu remembered that day, and felt a cold air crawling up her back.
"Shaolang, I'll go out for a walk. Hello look at the store. Si Duhan leaned on crutches and slowly walked out of the store.
"Master, you are just a little better, just bask in the sun at the door, don't go far." Shao Lang hurriedly ran to Si Duhan's side and said.
"It doesn't matter if the activity is active, I don't go far, I just go to the teahouse to sit. I didn't go for a few days. Si Duhan bowed his hand.
"Then I'll pick you up later." Shao Lang knew that he couldn't persuade the master, and that a little activity would indeed make him recover faster, so he agreed.
Si Duhan felt the warm sun of May and shook to the Mingyuexuan Teahouse. It was still early, but the first floor was full, and in the middle of the front row, there was a white-robed boy, Si Duhan pretended to let his eyes slide over his face inadvertently, and the nobility between his eyebrows made Si Duhan vaguely guess the identity of this person. Looking around, except for this white-robed man, the rest of the seats on the first floor were all gray-robed people.
"Master, I haven't seen you in a few days. Come on, come upstairs please. This floor is chartered. Shen Mishi, the proprietress of the teahouse, hurriedly greeted him and led Si Duhan upstairs.
"The proprietress is doing a prosperous business." Si Duhan flattered.
"Thanks to you, business is good. You please. The proprietress led Si Duhan to sit down on the second floor with a smile on her face.
"These people don't look small, who are they? Why don't you go to the private room on the third floor? Si Duhan knew that there were several noble living rooms on the third floor of the teahouse, which were not open on weekdays.
"But it's not, if you look at the snow-white satin, it looks like the best material, and then look at the bearing, eighty percent of it is from the Holy City." Shen Mishi lowered his voice and said, "I originally wanted to lead him to the third floor, but they didn't go anywhere, and only chartered the first floor." ”
"Why is that?" Si Duhan couldn't figure it out, were the current Venerable Hobbies so weird?
"You'll find out later." Shen Mishi covered his mouth and smiled.
Si Duhan sat for a while, and the second floor of the teahouse was almost full, and people were talking about the white-robed boy downstairs.
"You see, the man is still there." One of them quietly pointed downstairs and said.
"I've been seeing him next to him for days." The other nodded.
"Look at the clothes, it's not an ordinary person." A man craned his neck to look down.
"This old man, you haven't been here in a day, have you? This person is not only dressed unusually, but also has an extraordinary shot, a golden hairpin every day, and he must put it on the head of the begonia girl with his own hands. Someone on the side explained to the man just now.
"Tut-tut." Everyone on the side was surprised.
As he was talking, there was a commotion downstairs, only to hear the ringing bell, a woman with a golden hairpin and hosta, wearing a pink flower wide-sleeved long skirt, stepped on the brown embroidered shoes and slowly walked onto the stage, and the cheers around the four bottoms sounded. Si Duhan raised his eyes to look at Qiu Tang in the stands, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an imperceptible smile.
"Why?" Mu Linghuan, the ninth prince, smashed the white jade vase on the desk, and after a bang, large and small fragments were scattered on the ground.
"Your Highness, Your Highness is angry......" The maid beside her saw that her master was angry and hurriedly knelt down.
"Get out! A bunch of rice buckets! Mu Linghuan kicked the maid to the ground, and seeing that the sick Mu Lingyu was crowned the prince in a blink of an eye, Mu Linghuan was about to go crazy. He didn't know where the sick Mu Lingyu was better than him.
"What's wrong with my son?" As soon as Hu Meiren Hu Mengxi entered the door, she saw Mu Linghuan scolding the maid, and couldn't help frowning, "You all go out first." Hu Mengxi looked at the fragments of the ground and took out the maids.
