Chapter 180: A Chance Encounter
Xiao Wenxuan couldn't sleep at night, but he heard the sound of rustling at the door, he lifted the curtain, took out the bedside sword and quietly got out of bed. Xiao Wenxuan tiptoed to the door, touched the door and quickly hit the ......
"Ahh In front of the door, a figure sat on the ground.
"Ling'er? What are you doing sneakily in front of my door when you don't sleep at night? β
Xiao Wenxuan hurriedly put away the sword pointing at Su Muling and stepped forward to help her up.
At this time, Wuyin heard the sound from outside, and saw Xiao Wenxuan holding Su Muling in his arms, and hurriedly turned his head and ran out, and he was sleepwalking.
Su Muling stood up with Xiao Wenxuan's hand, blushing a little embarrassedly.
"I'm ...... Isn't it thinking that you eat less at night, come and ask if you are hungry? β
Su Muling felt underconfident about the excuse he had made for the time being. Since Xiao Wenxuan was injured, he had a bowl of porridge in the morning and evening every day, and Nangong Yi said that he was too poor in the past two days, so he barely added a bowl to lunch.
"Is this really for that?"
Xiao Wenxuan obviously didn't believe it, he took her into the house, lit the lamp, and then stood in front of him and looked at her silently.
Su Muling rolled her big eyes when she saw through it, bit her lower lip lightly, and said for a while: "You'an, we need to talk about it." β
"Okay."
Xiao Wenxuan pulled her to the bed and sat down, and took a stool to sit opposite her.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"You'an, since you woke up from your injury, I have found that you have changed, you are like a departure from me, and you no longer have the same intimacy as before. You...... You won't be ......."
"What is it?" Xiao Wenxuan's whole body tensed, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"You...... It can't hurt your brain, right? β
It took Su Muling a lot of effort to express her doubts for many days.
As soon as Xiao Wenxuan heard her ask, his nervous body suddenly relaxed, he got up and sat down beside Su Muling, reached out to brush a few broken hairs on the side of her cheeks for her, stared at her bright red lips, and pinched her chin......
Su Muling closed her eyes, ready to meet his kiss.
But half a day passed, Xiao Wenxuan didn't move, Su Muling opened his eyes, saw Xiao Wenxuan's eyes were confused, and fell into a state of wandering again.
"Youan?" Su Muling shook him.
Xiao Wenxuan came back to his senses when he first woke up from the big dream, looked at her for a moment, then let go of his hand, got up without a trace of warmth in his eyes and said, "Don't think nonsense, go back to sleep." β
Xiao Wenxuan actually issued an eviction order.
Su Muling's heart fell from the sky and shattered. She got up slowly and walked away without looking back.
This night, Su Muling quickly collapsed the bed and fell asleep slowly until dawn.
In the opposite room, Wuying leaned over to Xiao Wenxuan's side, Xiao Wenxuan explained a few words in his ear, Wuying took a step back and waved to Xiao Wenxuan, turned around and went out.
β¦β¦
The capital, the Imperial Palace.
Bao Yigu stood respectfully under His Royal Highness, and the emperor took the two elixirs that Bao Yigu had newly offered with a spring breeze.
"Since the last time I took the master's elixir, I feel relaxed, and even the old diseases on my body have been alleviated a lot. The master really has some skills. β
Bao Yigu stroked his beard and replied proudly: "The emperor has only been taking it for a few days, and if you take it all year round in the future, it will definitely eliminate all diseases and prolong your life." β
"Well, if the master can make all my diseases disappear and prolong my life, I will definitely not treat the master badly."
After speaking, as soon as the emperor raised his hand, someone had already stepped forward with a few boxes of rare treasures.
"This is my reward for you, what will be missing from alchemy in the future, although it is said."
"Thank Emperor Longen!"
Bao Yigu took the reward and knelt down again to thank him.
The emperor waved his hand and asked Gonggong An to send him out.
"Your Majesty, is this medicine so effective? Let's let the hospital identify it. "Grandpa An was a little worried.
In all dynasties, there have been kings who have taken the elixir refined by the self-proclaimed Dao immortals, but no emperor can maintain immortality because of taking the elixir. On the contrary, some kings were poisoned and died by the elixir.
The emperor was holding a box containing the elixir in his hand, his eyes were almost unable to pull out, and after listening to Grandpa An's words, he glanced at him: "Bao Yigu was recommended by the third child, and I also took the pill, and the effect is good." I believe in him. β
"But the emperor ......"
"Alright."
The emperor interrupted him, got up from the dragon chair, and said to Gonggong An as he walked towards the side hall: "I know that you are for my good, but you also know that the boss is gone early, and the eldest and second and fourth are not angry." The fifth and sixth are young and young, and I originally liked You'an, but ...... Only the third child is available by my side now, and the dragon chair under me will be his, and he will not harm me. β
"Yes."
The emperor has talked about this, and Grandpa An has nothing to say.
Gonggong An's words reached the ears of the third prince, and the third prince gritted his teeth and scolded hatefully: "This eunuch, if it weren't for my father's reuse of him, I would have removed him a long time ago." β
As soon as the words ended, one of the guards asked to see him. The third prince restrained his expression and called someone in.
"The third prince, my subordinates found out that the king of Yunnan County is drinking at the Julongzhai opened by the princess of Ning County."
Julongzhai? "How many?" The third prince frowned.
"Just the king of Yunnan with two retinues."
"Prepare the car."
The third prince got up and went into the house to change his clothes.
Julongzhai is located in the most prosperous downtown of the capital, and the dishes in the restaurant are famous for their expensiveness. But it can't stand the good environment, and there is no shortage of rich people in the capital, so since the opening of Julongzhai, the flow of customers has been continuous, and it is often full.
The carriage of the three princes drove to the gate of Julongzhai, and the three princes got off the carriage with the support of Jia Liu, the personal guard.
"Wrap up the second floor."
The third prince gave an order, Jia Liu handed over the three princes to the two little guys and ran in by himself.
The third prince came to Julongzhai for the first time, and from the outside, it was impossible to see why this ordinary restaurant was famous for its nobility. But as soon as he stepped into the threshold, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the emerald green in his eyes made this cold winter more spring-like.
Uncle Chang, the shopkeeper, saw that there were a lot of people coming, so he hurriedly brought people up to greet him.
At this time, the meal time had passed, and there was only one guest upstairs who was still pouring himself a drink, and that was Shi Tianyi.
The third prince wanted to charter the second floor, but the guest couldn't be driven away, so Uncle Chang hurriedly stepped forward to explain to the third prince:
"Distinguished guests come to the small shop and shine. But there was also a guest upstairs, so ......"
"It's okay, I also covered his room, and the money spent is on my head, and you lead me up to tell him personally." The third prince did not embarrass him.
As soon as Uncle Chang heard that the third prince was going to say it in person, he hurriedly sent people upstairs.
The three princes, under the leadership of Jia Liu, went straight to Shi Tianyi's private room. The two subordinates guarding the door saw that someone came up, and the momentum was extraordinary, and they knew that the person who came was either rich or noble. After Jia Liu whispered the identity of the third prince in two ears, the two rolled downstairs without saying a word and under Jia Liu's hint.
Jia Liu lifted the snow-white curtain, Shi Tianyi's eyes were red, and he was almost drunk. When he saw someone coming in, he shouted impatiently, "Go out, this king is not allowed to come in unless he is called." β
Jia Liu just wanted to scold, but the third prince stretched out his hand to stop him. The third prince walked opposite Shi Tianyi, lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down.
Shi Tianyi slapped the table and was about to be furious, but when he looked up, he looked up at the three princes' smiling eyes, stunned for a moment Shi Tianyi was shocked and sweated, instantly sobered up, and quickly got up to salute.
"Tianyi has eyes and no beads, and he doesn't know that the three princes have arrived, please forgive the three princes." The third prince stretched out his hand to help him up, without the slightest intention of blaming.
"The county king doesn't have to be polite, I was just passing by, and I heard that the county king is here, so I came to sit here."
"Three princes, please."
Shi Tianyi and the third prince sat down again, and the third prince instructed Jia Liu: "Remove the dishes and replace them with a new table." β
Jia Liu went to do it immediately.
The third prince stared at Shi Tianyi for a moment before he spoke: "Every festival, I miss my relatives, the prince of the county is homesick, right?" β
Shi Tianyi glanced at him, did not deny or admit it,
In fact, when he came, he knew that as long as he entered Beijing, he wanted to go out again, and he was afraid that it would be difficult. So he was ready to stay in the capital for a long time.
After Lu Qiaohui was rectified, without the control of Lu Qiaohui's addiction/medicine, Shi Tianyi became himself again.
Thinking back to all the things he had with Lu Qiaohui before, he couldn't figure out how he could be so obsessed with this married woman. Later, he learned that he was used by Lu Qiaohui.
Lu Qiaohui left, and Shi Tianyi began to fall in love with Su Muling, who was born beautiful. Su Muling was the most charming and moving woman he had ever seen since he was a child, Su Muling's big furry eyes, every time he looked at him for a moment, he was like losing his soul.
But Su Muling is Xiao Wenxuan's fiancΓ©e, and she is the princess of Ning, and her status is much higher than his, so he can only watch from a distance and can't have it.
This made him suffer from lovesickness. Tossing and turning every day, I can't sleep at night, and people are losing weight.
Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan sent Delang back to China, and on the way to Xiao Wenxuan's death, Su Muling escorted Xiao Wenxuan's bones back to Beijing. Shi Tianyi was excited for a long time when he got the news. A woman who is engaged, her fiancΓ© is dead, who dares to ask her? Shi Tianyi felt that he had a chance, the team escorting Xiao Wenxuan had not yet entered Beijing, Shi Tianyi was already impatient, so he came to Julongzhai to find his feelings.
So the third prince mistakenly thought that others were emaciated because he was homesick, and he didn't deny it, on the contrary, it was a good excuse.
"It's almost the end of the year, I have prepared some special products from the capital for you to send back to Yunnan, and the things are already on the way a month in advance. I think that on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the king of Yunnan will be very happy to receive your heart. β
The previous leftovers on the table had been removed, and a few side dishes had been put back on the table. The third prince took a piece of duck letter and put it in his mouth and ate it slowly.
Shi Tianyi was very surprised when he heard the words of the third prince, and at the same time a little ashamed. He has been in the capital for more than half a year, and he has never thought of sending anything to the king of Yunnan. The third prince gave a gift to the king of Yunnan in his name as early as a month ago, and Shi Tianyi guessed a few points without asking.
The emperor is now more than half a hundred years old, and only one of the three princes is an adult. Before, the third prince was not considered by everyone because of his crippled legs. Now it's different, the three princes are the best candidates for the crown prince no matter where they look at it, Shi Tianyi wants to be more comfortable in the capital, so naturally he doesn't dare to underestimate the three princes.
"Tianyi thanks the three princes for their good intentions, Tianyi is unrelated in the capital, and the three princes are not suspicious, and there will be a chance to repay him in the future."
The third prince smiled, talking to a smart person is to save trouble, he personally poured wine for Shi Tianyi, and the two talked about family life for a while, the third prince cleared all the people and began to "complain to each other" with Shi Tianyi......
