Chapter 14: Guarding

Inside the kitchen of the inn.

"Centipede viscers, green-spotted snake head, scorpion blood, toad skin, plus gecko and glutinous rice ......", Xiao Mingyue prepared the medicine according to the prescription of Dr. Muren in her memory.

"Miss, why does this medicine smell fishy?" Amber said as she covered her nose as she boiled the potion beside her.

Xiao Mingyue looked at the decoction herself, looked at Amber and said: "The prescription says like this, 'Bitter medicine is good for disease', what does it matter if something fishy can cure the disease?" ”

Amber listened to the firewood even harder, and said with a smile: "What Miss said is that if you can heal those victims this time, Miss will be a great achievement!" ”

Xiao Mingyue said while stirring the casserole of decoction: "I just want to help those people who are sick, and whoever likes to go to invite merit and reward." ”

After hearing this, Amber nodded and said, "It's good that Miss doesn't like to be in the limelight, just as the so-called 'tree big wind'." ”

Xiao Mingyue smiled after hearing this: "Now you are more and more intelligent, and you also understand the truth of 'tree big wind'." ”

With that, he took out some of the medicine in the casserole.

Amber smiled: "I have followed Miss all day and seen so much of the world, of course I will be smart." ”

After speaking, he got up and helped Xiao Mingyue take out the medicine from the casserole and pour it into another medicine pot.

"When the medicine is cold, you can send it to those patients to drink." Xiao Mingyue said with a sigh of relief.

Amber said happily: "Miss, the slave maid will go and inform His Highness." After speaking, he ran to the inner courtyard to find Xiao Zhong.

Xiao Mingyue was about to turn around and go out, and met the guards of the post house coming in. The guard replied, "Miss, someone sent a letter and asked the subordinate to pass it on to Miss." ”

Xiao Mingyue took the letter and opened it. It reads: "How, the gecko sent yesterday is enough?" Then he immediately asked the guard, "Where is that boy now?" ”

The guard replied, "The boy is waiting at the door." ”

Xiao Mingyue walked out and went straight to the door, and saw a carriage with a ruby green curtain parked outside the door, and a man wearing a black mask was sitting next to the car, the hair on his forehead was very long, and he looked a little familiar. ”

"Yuwendi?" Xiao Mingyue said with some surprise.

"Come on, I'll take you out for a ride." Yu Wendi said with a smile on his face.

Xiao Mingyue looked at Yuwendi and said: "Yuwen Gongzi, don't dare to bother, if you have anything to say, I owe you a personal favor about that 'gecko'." ”

Yu Wendi looked at Xiao Mingyue and said, "We are old acquaintances, so you treat your life-saving benefactor like this?" ”

Xiao Mingyue heard Yu Wendi say this, thought about it, and decided to get into the carriage.

Yu Wendi was wearing a silver and green robe, and his hair was tied up with a jade hairpin.

looked at Xiao Mingyue and said with a smile: "Miss Mingyue also wore a silver and blue skirt today, are the two of us considered to be in good spirits?" ”

Xiao Mingyue explained: "It's just a coincidence, why are you here? ”

Yu Wendi sighed and said, "I've been waiting for your letter at home, and I can't wait for the left or the right, so I have to come and see you myself." ”

"How do you know I need a gecko for medicine? Could it be that it was your man who saved us that day in the market? Xiao Mingyue looked at Yu Wendi and asked.

Yu Wendi teased at the corner of his mouth: "That's right. Since I left last time, I have not worried about your safety, so I have installed my people in and outside the palace. In the market, it was 'Yiwei' who saved you. He has been injured on his face, so he likes to wear a mask, and if you have any trouble in the future, you can go directly to him. ”

Xiao Mingyue said, "So you're spying on me?" ”

After hearing this, Yu Wendi approached Xiao Mingyue's face and said, "You know I'm not." He turned around and continued: "I finally saved you, you don't plan to make a promise, just accompany me to see the moon, and you should repay my favor." ”

With that, the carriage set off all the way to a villa in the east of Jiankang City.

A tavern in Jiankang City.

Two men sat in the innermost room on the second floor of the tavern, one tall with a red scar on his face, the other slightly shorter and darker-skinned.

The short man said: "This mission failed, I was about to succeed, I didn't want them to appear halfway to the 'rescue', the people I sent were all dead, and Lao Ge also committed suicide." ”

The tall man said: "This matter is already known to the above, although the mission failed, but fortunately there is no room left, there is still a chance next time." ”

When the short man heard this, he hurriedly said, "The villain will definitely atone for his sins, and he will definitely eradicate the troubles next time." ”

The tall man sneered when he heard this, "Next time? Do you think you'll have a next time? ”

When the short man heard this, he asked in horror, "What do you mean?" ...... you guys?"

Before he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

The tall man said: "Before you came, I poisoned your wine glass, old rules, the mission failed, don't want to live!" ”

The short man lay on the table and endured the pain, cursing, "You guys...... You will not die well! With that, he swallowed his breath.

The tall man sneered, took a sip of wine, placed a silver ingot on the table, and turned away.

Ten p.m.

A pavilion on the top floor of a garden in Jiankang City.

Looking at the tall and brilliant courtyard in front of him, and the luxurious and fine decoration, Xiao Mingyue exclaimed: "Prince Yuwen is really arrogant, such a luxurious mansion may not even be able to afford to live in Jiankang City. ”

"I just bought it for you to see the moon." Yu Wendi replied.

"This gift is too valuable, I really don't dare to ask for it, as well as the title deed and hairpin from last time, I will return it to you when I get free." Xiao Mingyue said.

"It's your business whether you accept it or not, it's my business whether to send it or not, the gift I give out won't be taken back, if you don't like to burn it!" After speaking, he lay down on the rattan chair.

Xiao Mingyue listened, looked at Yu Wendi in surprise and said, "I found that you are really ......!" ”

"Is that annoying?" Yu Wendi turned his head to look at Xiao Mingyue and said.

Xiao Mingyue thought for a while and said, "That's not true. Just act like a rich man and spend a lot of money, presumably you have never been short of money. ”

"That's right, I've never been short of money, I've been running the family business since I was a child, and I've never lost money. However, please put 100,000 hearts, I am serious about you, and I will give you whatever you want! ”

"My requirements are very simple, I just want to be happy with each other, for a lifetime, ordinary and ordinary." Xiao Mingyue looked at the moon and said.

"Just like now, just look at the moon, drink tea, and eat snacks?" Yu Wendi asked.

"Hmm." Xiao Mingyue responded, and then said: "I have a crush on purpose, please don't waste a lot of time on me in the future." ”

"It's the one named Chen Xian, right? I heard that martial arts are very powerful, and people are good-looking, but I am above him in terms of family affairs and strength alone, why don't you consider me! ”

"Feelings are very pure things, and they depend on fate." Xiao Mingyue said.

"Then we have more fate between us." Yu Wendi said with a smile.

Xiao Mingyue glanced at Yu Wendi and said, "Maybe it's the fate of becoming a very good friend." ”

"No matter what identity you are, I'm already very happy to be able to guard you like this." Yu Wendi said.

When Xiao Mingyue heard it, she smiled and said, "Why are you talking about yourself so sensational?" ”

Yu Wendi looked at Xiao Mingyue and said, "Even if one day, you want to get married, it's hard to guarantee that you won't marry me!" ”

Xiao Mingyue smiled: "Thank you for inviting me to see the moon today." ”

"I'll ask you to look at the moon often in the future." Yu Wendi added.

The two of them watched for a long time, and Yuwendi saw that Xiao Mingyue was sleepy, so he picked her up and went back to the room, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

Sitting at the table by himself, quietly watching Xiao Mingyue fall asleep.

At this time, the little attendant came in from outside and said, "Young Master, Da Wei's letter." ”

"Shhhh Don't wake her up. Yu Wendi said. After speaking, he got up and went out, and said, "Dad sent someone to urge me again?" ”

The cronie said: "The lord and His Majesty are going to seek great things, whether they succeed or not, for your safety, the lord hopes that you will not return to Dawei for the time being." ”

"It seems that Your Majesty can't help it. But it's okay, 'snipe and clam fight', there must always be a result. Yu Wendi said.

"So, young master, it is safest for you to stay in Liang Country for the time being." The squire said.

"Even you think so? Although I am unfilial, I am not unfilial, my father is in danger now, and now I should go back to help him. Prepare pen and paper! Yu Wendi said.

So he left a letter and rushed back to the Northern Wei Dynasty overnight.

Next.

Xiao Mingyue woke up and found herself sleeping on the bed, two girls came in from outside, and when they saw Xiao Mingyue who was awake, they hurriedly brought up face wash and mouthwash, and someone sent it early.

Xiao Mingyue asked strangely, "What about Yu Wendi?" ”

The little girl replied: "Mrs. Qiyu, the young master left last night and left a letter for you. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Mingyue asked puzzledly, "What did you call me just now?" …… Madam? ”

The two little girls looked at each other and smiled, "Yes, ma'am." ”

Xiao Mingyue listened to it and asked very uncomfortably: "I think you have misunderstood, I am just friends with your young master." ”

After speaking, he took the letter, opened it and wrote: "Mingyue, there is a coup d'Γ©tat in the Great Wei court, and I am worried about my father's safety, so I rushed back to Great Wei overnight to help my father." If we succeed, I will come back and marry you; If you fail and die a miserable death, you can marry Chen Xian. Don't read it, Yuwendi. After Xiao Mingyue read it, he thought that Jiankang was more than a thousand miles away from Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it would take a day to ride a fast horse at the earliest.
