Volume 1 Wusun Chapter 47 Lacquer Carving
When she returned, the candles were still lit in the house, and the prince was lying on his stomach on the heaps of papers, sleeping quietly.
The dim soft light was reflected on the sleeping face of the young man in Chinese clothes, and the deep and picturesque eyebrows and eyes became more and more exquisite, but I don't know what he was still worried about in his dream, a pair of straight thick eyebrows frowned tightly, as if a stone suddenly fell on the surface of a calm and waveless lake, arousing the undissipated melancholy.
Yue Qianxin watched quietly from the side, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand, wanting to smooth it out, wanting to fill this eye-catching chasm.
But before her hand could touch it, when it was a few steps away, Fuqiuao's eyelids moved a few times, as if sensing something, and suddenly opened, and her jasper-like eyes blinked, filled with a layer of mist.
"You're back, have you had dinner, well, look at you haven't eaten like this."
Fu Qiuao stretched his waist, pressed the tight forehead, and suddenly took out a plate of chestnut cake with a bright color from the urn beside him.
Seeing that Yue Qianxin stayed there motionless, it was a little funny, so he gently dragged her over.
"What are you doing here, eat quickly, don't worry, this plate was secretly hidden by me at noon, the mirror has not been touched, and it is very clean."
Yue Qianxin let out an "oh", the corners of her eyes were a little moist, pressed her hungry lower abdomen, grabbed the pastry on the plate and stuffed it into her mouth.
She had been running from place to place during the day, coming and going in a hurry, and she had already forgotten about it, but now she remembered that it was indeed a drop of water, and she was hungry for a pang of colic.
And Fu Qiu Ao just sat on the spot and half-folded his hands, smiling at her after eating, but never mentioned her today's itinerary from beginning to end.
"Your Highness, don't you have anything to ask?" Yue Qianxin gobbled up the plate with her plate, her face swollen and red.
"Absolutely." Fu Qiu Ao poured a bowl of water and put it on the table, "I've always been curious, why are you so heroic when you eat at a girl's house?" ”
"......" Yue Qianxin choked up, and subconsciously glanced at the already messy plate in his hand, a little helpless, "Your Highness, you know that I don't mean to say this." ”
"Otherwise, what else can I ask you, why you weren't there during the day, and where did you go?" Fuqiuao sighed, "Ah Yue, you should know my temperament, as long as I, Fuqiuao, am determined to do something, I must persevere to the end, and I will not hit the south wall or look back." ’’
"Since I decided to take you with me from the beginning, I will naturally give you full trust. Besides, you are not my slave in the first place, and this is not Tianwu, and it is your freedom to go wherever you want, and you don't need to tell me everything. ”
Yue Qianxin listened to his heartfelt words, and her heart couldn't help but be a little touched, but she still insisted, "Rules are dead, but people are alive, Your Highness is like this, and it is really difficult for you to be shallow." ’’
"Okay, okay, really, I'm scared of you." 'Fu Qiu Ao waved his hand and forced himself to be serious.
"Well, let me ask you, where did you go today, and why did you come back so late?"
"I saw that His Highness was worried about Jiaoda plague and couldn't sleep at night in the past few days, so I went to Chigu to see my father and see if there was any way for him there." Yue Qianxin paused, "The result is still in vain." ’’
"Ah Yue, thank you for your hard work, this matter is not trivial, and you don't have to embarrass Uncle Yue. And..."
"Your Highness, have I not finished my sentence yet? What are you doing in a hurry to comfort? Yue Qianxin suddenly smiled slyly.
"Although I made a trip to Akaya for nothing, it was not without gain. On the way back to Jiaoda, I accidentally found what His Highness wanted?"
"What?" Fuqiuao didn't understand what she meant.
''Your Highness will come with me and find out.'' ''
Yueqian's mind mysteriously pulled him to a deserted courtyard in Jiaoda with the fragrance of medicine.
A teenager was standing in the doorway waiting, his black clothes blending in with the night.
"Who is this?"
"He's, a friend of mine." To be honest, she didn't know this person well, and it was really accidental that she met here, and she couldn't say the name or anything for a while.
"Lacquer carving." The man buried his head very low, and introduced himself succinctly.
"Listening to your accent, it doesn't look like a Kun person." Fu Qiu Ao stared at the person in front of him, in a word.
"Your Highness guessed right, he is Han."
Only then did Yue Qianxin slowly step forward and give a complete explanation of how she saved this young man from the bully.
“……”
You said you missed it once. I haven't forgotten how you made fun of me when you first entered the palace.
Qi Diaoling thought about it for a while, but in the end, she endured it.
"Oh, Mei save the hero, yes, so what, come to me and give you a reward?"
Fu Qiuao glanced at them with a strange expression.
Well, to sum it up, sour, really sour.
Yue Qianxin glanced at him a little speechlessly, and turned his face whatever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said. It seems that what Grandma said is not to be trusted, not only women's faces change when they say they are, but men are no exception.
"Your Highness, where do you want to go, I invite you to come over because, Qi Carving Ling Ling, he may be able to develop a cure for the plague!"
It turned out that when she returned to Jiaoda, she happened to find a person sneaking around among the witch doctors, who seemed to be quietly collecting some medicinal herbs. She couldn't help but be curious and followed all the way, and then discovered the secret of Qi Diaoling.
"This kind of disease has appeared in our Central Plains, I probably know the prescription, but as a lowly bottom, I only dare to study it secretly."
Qi Diaoling has not been in Kunguo for a long time, and because of the language barrier, he simply goes alone and does not contact outsiders, so he has developed such a taciturn temperament now.
So this is the first time he has said so much in front of outsiders, especially since one of them is still the noble and unparalleled prince of the dynasty, and it is inevitable that he will stumble.
''Is this true?'' ''Floating Hill's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"In front of the prince, don't dare to fake."
Qi Diaoling then took out a jar of leftover medicine residue from the room and let them look at it one by one.
Although Yue Qianxin didn't understand pharmacology, she saw that the corners of Fuqiu's mouth were curled more and more obviously, and she also understood that eight or nine were not far from ten.
''But it seems like there's something missing?'' ''
"Yes, there are still two medicine guides missing from this prescription." Qi Diaoling nodded.
"What is it?" The two asked in unison.
"Water without roots, wood without sources. According to ancient records, this recipe should be mixed with rootless water to be boiled, and sourceless wood can be baked. ”
"What's that?" Yue Qianxin didn't understand for a while, "The water in this world has a source, and how can trees survive without roots, aren't you tricking us?" ’’
"No," Floating Hill shook his head, "maybe there's a place where he really says that." ”
