CHAPTER XVIII

Soon, there was good news in the silent palace, the queen who had been lying quietly for a long time woke up, the emperor hurried to Fengxiang Palace, and was overjoyed, that is, he ordered that after the queen recovered, a banquet was set up to celebrate, and the princes and ministers were invited to the banquet together.

Ning Bai has been sick in bed since he suffered from the cold, Xiao Anzi has been instructed by the Third Highness to take care of him from time to time, and occasionally the Third Highness will come to visit, and he also instructed the palace people to serve well and not be lazy.

The queen has just recovered from this illness, and she no longer needs to take medicine, but she is recovering, so Qingyuan is waiting by Ning Bai's bedside at this moment.

Qing Yuan held the medicine bowl containing half a bowl of decoction and medicine, and while feeding the medicine to his apprentice, he frowned and said, "You know best how to be a teacher since you were a child, and you can be sick in bed in just a cold winter?" I don't believe it. ”

Although Ning Bai drank the medicine obediently, his expression was indifferent, and all he thought about was Rong Yu's death and Ying Qi's ruthlessness.

Qing Yuan sighed lightly and said, "Over the years, you have only had minor illnesses left and right, and if you drink the medicine, you will be fine on the second day." Although the teacher is old, he clearly remembers the number of times you were seriously ill, once he brought you out of Nanchu and was sick for seven days, and once he brought your father's relics to you, that time, he was the most sick, for half a month, and then this time, tell the master, what happened? ”

Hearing this, Ning Bai came back to his senses, raised his eyes and looked at Qing Yuan, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, "Master, Ning Bai met the old man of Nanchu in the past, and that old man, a few days ago, ...... Because I lost my life. ”

When Qingyuan was young, he was a Langzhong who walked the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know anything about the royal families of various countries, and raised Ning Bai, in order to repay the life-saving grace of King Ning of Southern Chu in the past, and he didn't know the old man Ning Bai said. Later, seeing that Ning Bai was very talented in medical skills, he accepted him as an apprentice, and he had no successors without worry.

For so many years, Ning Bai has never said that he has met any old people, how come he met old people as soon as he arrived at the palace?

Ning Bai drank the decoction, Qingyuan took the medicine bowl and put it on the wooden bench by the bedside, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Your temperament, for the teacher to know, must be very guilty, sad heart, so sick in bed like this, after a while, the sun leaves the palace, returns to Yucang Town, and then burns some paper money for your old man, set up a spiritual position, and there is a place for your soul to return."

Ning Bai lowered her eyes and nodded, she knew that she was in the Beiliang Palace at this time, even if she was out of the palace, she couldn't be willful, the master had been hiding for several years for her, and now she was in danger, she had always been rational, and impulsiveness was not something she would do. As for Rong Yu...... She can only be ashamed of her.

Qing Yuan stayed in Ning Bai's room for a long time, and only left at dusk, although the queen's illness was mostly cured, she had to wait by the side from time to time to avoid mistakes.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Guixue and the others had been in the inn for a long time. In the huge palace, it is not easy to find someone, Ah Xin holds the white feather order in his hand, and he must find it first.

There was a knock on the door outside the house, Mu Guixue put down the Luo Dai in her hand lightly, opened her lips and said, "Come in."

The door was opened, and it was Aunt Yun, "Girl, the carriage is ready." ”

Mu Guixue did not respond immediately, but twisted up the red paper on the table, facing the bronze mirror, the red paper was close to her lips, her lips were shallowly pursed, and a touch of red lips came into view.

Seeing herself in the mirror, Mu Guixue got up with satisfaction and approached Aunt Yun, "Let's go." ”

Mu Guixue wore a goose yellow dress today, and when she left the house, she wore a hat covered by a light gauze and walked out of the inn.

Out of the inn, Rong Si, who was originally waiting by the carriage obediently, saw Mu Guixue, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Senior sister is here, let Rong Si wait."

Mu Guixue lifted the light veil with her hand, looked at Rong Si, and said with a light smile: "Senior sister, isn't this coming?"

Rong Si saw Mu Guixue's appearance, and was a little surprised, she had known her senior sister for so long, and she had never seen her senior sister apply fandel so carefully.

"Since I was a child, I have felt that my senior sister is the most beautiful woman Rong Si has ever seen, and now that my senior sister is dressed up, Rong Si feels even more beautiful."

Mu Guixue looked at Rong Si tenderly, looking at Rong Si's pleasing appearance, Mu Guixue couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Rong Si's face, and said softly: "Did you smear honey on your mouth today?"

Hearing this, Rong Si's clear eyes were full of sincerity, pulled Mu Guixue's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Senior sister is the most beautiful woman."

Suddenly, Aunt Yun behind her shouted, "Girl, be careful!" ”

Before Rong Si could turn his head to understand, he was pulled into Yun Gu's side by a force. When he turned around, he saw the horse raise its two front hooves in fright, and under the horse's hooves there was a man dressed in tatters, whose face was so dirty that he could not see clearly, but he could see that the man's eyes were wide and his expression was terrified.

Mu Guixue's eyes were quick, and she quickly pulled out the frightened man before the horse's hooves landed, and when the horse's hooves landed, Mu Guixue used all her strength to hold the horse's reins, but she still couldn't stop the horse's restlessness. In desperation, Mu Guixue took out a dagger from her waist and cut the rope connecting the horse to the rear car. As soon as the rope was broken, the horse galloped forward like crazy, and at the same time, Mu Guixue rode on the horse, and the hat on his head was blown far away by the wind, and he couldn't care about it, so he grabbed the reins and didn't let go of the slightest, but it seemed useless.

The sound of galloping horses' hooves resounded throughout the silent streets, and many people exclaimed in amazement after seeking fame.

I don't know who anxiously shouted: "It's a busy city ahead!" Mu Guixue heard these words, the downtown is a place where people gather, the horse is hers, even if she kills it, she can't hurt anyone!

Mu Guixue pulled the reins with one hand, clenched the dagger at her waist with one hand, her eyes were full of cruelty, her body leaned forward slightly, she held the dagger tightly in her hand, raised her hand, and stabbed into the neck of the horse, the horse neighed and roared, and the blood on her neck gushed out, seeing that the horse was about to fall to the ground, Mu Guixue jumped lightly and stood aside unharmed, glancing at the crowd of onlookers with an indifferent expression.

The horse lost its breath, stopped struggling, closed its eyes and collapsed in a pool of blood. Many people came to see the excitement, whispering around the horse, some amazed, some regretful......

"General Qin has arrived." At some point, a soldier in armor shouted loudly, and everyone retreated.

After a moment, Mu Guixue saw a team of soldiers in armor stepping on their military boots, and their voices were neat and powerful. The leader was a young and imposing man, with slightly dark skin, his right hand hanging in the air, his left hand resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist, intentionally or unintentionally, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he glanced at the surrounding situation, and naturally saw the horse lying in a pool of blood.

is so unfazed, it must be someone who has seen the wind and waves, and it must be the "General Qin" that the soldier just shouted.

A soldier surveyed the surrounding situation, walked up to the general, and said, "General, the horse is out of breath." Stretching out his hand to Mu Guixue, "Many people have seen that it was the girl's hand." ”

Qin Wei raised his eyes to look at Mu Guixue, his eyes were deep, revealing a trace of surprise and deep suspicion. Qin Wei didn't make a sound, but moved to the horse, squatted down with the sound of the swing of his armor, stretched out his hand, and pulled out the dagger that pierced the horse's neck.

At the moment when he pulled out the dagger, the remaining blood in the horse's neck suddenly spurted out, and although Qin Wei flashed quickly, there was still a little blood on his right cheek.

Qin Wei took the dagger, walked up to Mu Guixue, handed her the blood-stained dagger, and said seriously, "Girl, this is your thing?"

Mu Guixue glanced at the dagger lightly, looked at Qin Wei, and said truthfully: "Yes."

Qin Wei suddenly smiled, "It's the girl's things, and I'll return them to the girl next." ”

Mu Guixue frowned, obviously displeased, "This dagger is stained with blood, I was going to not want it, but the general should throw it away!" ”

Qin Wei leaned the dagger closer and took a closer look, "This is a good dagger, if you don't want it, wouldn't it be a pity." It's just blood, just wash it away. So saying, he summoned his men: "Wash the dagger and return it to this girl."

Qin Wei's move made Mu Guixue puzzled, and he always felt that his intention was not simple, "What does the general's move mean?" ”

"Naturally, Zai Xia is thanking the girl for her help, saving the people of Suiyang, and also catching a fugitive for Zaixia." Then two soldiers brought up the man in tatters, who had just fallen under the horse's hooves.

Immediately, Rong Si and Yun Gu walked through the crowd and finally found Mu Guixue, and Rong Si was still holding the hat that had just been lifted off by the wind.

When Rong Si saw Mu Guixue, he couldn't wait to say: "Senior sister, I finally found you, you don't know, the man in tattered clothes is a fugitive, fortunately, I caught him in time, so I didn't let him escape."

Mu Guixue looked at Rong Si, her eyes softened a little, and she quipped: "If you can't even catch a fugitive, then Senior Sister won't take you down the mountain with her."

Aunt Yun on the side looked worried, and stepped forward to ask, "Is the girl injured?"

Mu Guixue shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Aunt Yun."

"Aunt Yun doesn't know, where can a horse hurt my senior sister." Rong Si, who was still full of joy, accidentally saw the horse that fell to the ground, and suddenly deflated, "But senior sister, our hired horse is gone......"

At this time, Qin Wei preemptively Mu Guixue spoke, "You can compensate a horse to the girl, and you should thank you for it." ”

Mu Guixue's expression became cold again, "There is no need for the general to break the bank, it's just a trivial matter." ”

After speaking, Mu Guixue took the hat and left, Yun Gu and Rong Si were afraid that they would go badly, so they followed closely along the way.

Qin Shuwan's carriage was only a few feet away from the crowd, and she really saw what had just happened. But what made her curious was not what happened, but the girl who had something to do with it.

Qin Shuwan tilted her head slightly, and said softly: "Rao'er, don't you think that girl looks like a person."

Rao'er followed the master day and night, and the master could figure out what he was thinking, "Miss is saying that the girl looks like Dr. Ning?" ”

"You can see that, too." Qin Shuwan stared straight at the girl's figure and left.

"Miss wouldn't think that girl was changed by Dr. Ning? Miss has seen Dr. Ning, obviously a handsome man, how can she be a beautiful woman? Rao'er thought about it, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Dr. Ning talked to her that day, softly spoken, but it sounded good, how could she be such a cold girl she had just seen.
