Chapter 229: Bewitchment
"You know that this king doesn't like to talk too much, but this king has explained to her that he will take you on a blind date today, so it doesn't hurt to come back late."
Nan Chen nodded solemnly, and it took a while to realize what Bo Zhaoxu had just said: "King, prince!" You are clearly taking a knife from your subordinates! How could the princess believe such an excuse. ”
Waiting for Ye Yan to settle the account, wouldn't this pot be thrown on him, just thinking about this, Nan Chen shuddered.
"There is this king to protect you."
The corners of Bo Zhaoxu's mouth clearly have a smile that represents "you ask for more blessings", he can trample everyone under his feet to keep the people he wants to take care of.
Only in front of Xiang Yeqi, even he himself has to be "afraid" for three points.
Every time Nan Chen was weak in front of Xiang Yeqi, there was no time when Bo Zhaoxu was innocent.
"If the princess sees through it, her subordinates will say that she was bewitched by the prince." He looked at Bo Zhaoxu very calmly, "The princess only treats her subordinates as her subordinates, and she will not do anything with her subordinates for the sake of face." ”
"Did this king arrange you by her side for too long, so that you forgot that this king is also your master?"
Bo Zhaoxu has not risen to the point of being sour with Nan Chen, but Nan Chen's skillful performance makes Bo Zhaoxu wonder if he has forgotten when he has treated Nan Chen harshly.
Nan Chen silently acquiesced to what Bo Zhaoxu said, in fact, both of them knew very well that being able to explain their true thoughts without barriers was the result of the two of them having a heart-to-heart relationship, and they could be called friends, not just masters and servants who could only answer whether or not like a puppet.
Just as Bo Zhaoxu can feel that Nan Chen is particularly relaxed today, Nan Chen can also feel that Bo Zhaoxu is in a good mood tonight, just like the hairband on his bun that welcomes the night breeze.
Nan Chen and Bo Zhaoxu rushed to the road in the middle of the night, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, they finally arrived at the destination set by Bo Zhaoxu, a temple outside the capital.
This temple is only half a small size than the Xixia Palace, and it is simply the size of a palace.
The genius was bright, and there were already many pilgrims waiting outside the temple gate.
Nan Chen suddenly remembered the anecdote he heard in his spare time, and said, "It seems that there is some festival in the Western Xia Kingdom today, and the prince is also here to make a wish?" ”
But Nan Chen felt that his speculation really couldn't stand, his master could be called a life that everyone envied, what did he have to ask for?
What's more, Bo Zhaoxu has always picked up what he thinks with his own hands, and has never been attached to ghosts and gods.
"Let's just sort it off." Bo Zhaoxu took out an envelope from his arms, and stared at the handwriting with a deep and gloomy gaze: "This king has come to fetch something for people." ”
Nan Chen suddenly remembered that this letter was actually handed over to Bo Zhaoxu by himself, and said in amazement: "Is that old lady Gu?" Did she ask you again? ”
After seeing Old Madam Gu's methods, Bo Zhaoxu was very sure that she could completely heal Xiang Yeqi, so he naturally treated her a lot more leniently, not only agreed to her request to settle accounts with Gu Yanchao, but even prepared a small courtyard for her to live in, and even left her cronies by her side, so that Old Madam Gu could send a message at any time.
Bo Zhaoxu nodded yes, and Nan Chen was even more puzzled: "The prince wants to find someone to solve the Gu, I don't know how many suitable people are in this world, why should I tolerate it everywhere, and I have to take things for her for thousands of miles with such twists and turns?" This person is cunning and cunning, and he really does not deserve such trust from the prince. ”
"Even if there is really a second suitable candidate in this world, Nan Guard, how much time do you think this king has to find a second person who can solve her Gu?"
Bo Zhaoxu's eyes grew cold, and his face sank like stagnant water, "There are too many things that this king can take to gamble, power, throne, treasure, Rao is this life, can all become bargaining chips, but she can't." Only in this matter, this king does not have any confidence to give it a go, only this life, take her life. ”
Nan Chen only felt that his throat was choked, after all, he couldn't say anything, what Bo Zhaoxu said has always been a deterrent, and he didn't dare to say anything.
He even felt that saying anything was like being insensitive to human feelings, but he felt that he could feel Bo Zhaoxu's fear of loss, which seemed to be the only thing he could think of that would make Bo Zhaoxu afraid.
After a while, Nan Chen took the letter from Bo Zhaoxu's hand with a smile, and said: "My subordinates understand, since there are not many things that my subordinates can do, then I can only use my own life to protect the safety of the prince." ”
Mrs. Gu sent two letters at the same time, one was a fluttering Tuo Bo Zhaoxu to take samples for her to continue her life, to put it mildly, in fact, it was a small thing used to heal her internal injuries, saying that it was difficult to find elsewhere, only her old friend had such a case, if she didn't send it back in time, she was afraid that she would have to worry about her life.
As for this other letter, it was naturally handed over to her old friend for confirmation.
Nan Chen stepped forward to knock on the door of the temple, and out of it came a little monk who looked only seven or eight years old, and apologized to Nan Chen apologetically: "This benefactor, it is not yet time to enter the temple, please wait a little longer, and someone will welcome you into the temple together." ”
"The little master misunderstood, we are here for something."
He glanced hastily at the name on the letter and continued, "We were entrusted by Master Hong'an's deceased to come to him to pick up something. ”
The little monk hesitated for a while, glanced at the pilgrims who were still waiting outside the temple, and finally welcomed the two in, warning Nan Chen and Bo Zhaoxu: "Just to enter the temple earlier, it is not worth it, the two donors should not lie, otherwise the little monk will be sorry for the other donors waiting outside the temple." ”
"It's nature." Nan Chen hurriedly replied.
The little monk led Bo Zhaoxu and Nan Chen to a side room, then stopped and said, "The two donors will wait here for a while, and the little monk will go and inform Uncle Hong'an." ”
He is still a childish child in the end, and he is so inflexible running and jumping all the way, Bo Zhaoxu only looked around, and the little monk had already run back: "Uncle Hong'an said that you can go in now." ”
"Thank you, little master."
Bo Zhaoxu politely leaned over and thanked him, and the little monk was just about to return the salute with his fists, but he hurriedly hid his hand behind him, thinking that he could hide the two sweet lilies he was holding in his hand.
In fact, Bo Zhaoxu didn't need to be too serious, just standing up straight, he could see what the little monk was hiding behind him, the little monk not only held two lychees in his hand, but even had a small slingshot pinned to his waist.
Probably because of his own greed, the little monk bared his teeth and smiled, "The two Shi are basically fine, and the little monk will go to help the senior brother water the vegetable garden first!" ”
"Little master walk slowly."
Bo Zhaoxu advised, and the little monk ran and jumped behind Bo Zhaoxu, muttering happily: "Little master, little master...... That's a good name. ”
Only then did Nan Chen realize that Bo Zhaoxu was coaxing children to be happy, and he even felt that Bo Zhaoxu's ability to coax children was learned from Xiang Yeqi.
But I can't say for sure, it seems that Nan Chen's method of coaxing children was originally used to coax the night to the night, but it just happened to come in handy at this time.
With a squeak, the sandalwood door of the wing room was pushed open from the inside, and out of it came a thin old monk, who was the Master Hong'an that Bo Zhaoxu wanted to see on this trip.
"Who told you to come?" He was a little angry.
Bo Zhaoxu was about to report Mrs. Gu, but when the words came to his mouth, he remembered that this "Mrs. Gu" once claimed to be Gu Yanchao's mother, and then she just confessed that she was invited out of the mountain by Gu Yanchao, as for what her identity was, she never revealed half a word.
"Nan Chen, give the letter to Master Hong'an." He simply handed over the errand of identifying Old Madam Gu to Master Hong'an, if he couldn't recognize it, it would be really fatal.
Fortunately, Master Hong'an reacted when he saw the handwriting, and smiled bitterly: "She asked you to come...... Come pick something up? ”
"Not bad."
Bo Zhaoxu immediately responded.
"After all, there will be such a day, so you should look for a place to wait first, and at noon, I will go to you with my things." Master Hong'an sighed, not knowing what he remembered.
When Master Hong'an went to look for something, Bo Zhaoxu still went around to the temple under the prayer tree, this ginkgo biloba is also a thousand years old, it is extremely rare in China, not to mention in the "inch green and gold" Xixia country, many people choose to come to this temple to pray and make wishes.
Nan Chen stopped by the pool for a long time, causing Bo Zhaoxu to look back and be curious: "If you want to write anything, just write it, this king is not in a hurry at this time." ”
"No need, the prince misunderstood." Nan Chen smiled, "My subordinates just caught a glimpse of what many people were asking for, and I just felt a little novel." ”
"It's not uncommon for people to want to be with their loved ones for a long time."
In the end, Bo Zhaoxu changed his idea of only passing by, he put the silver ingot like a merit pool, and Fang took off a red ribbon given to the pilgrims from the side, which was bright like a koi in the pool, and the koi who really swung the fish's tail in the pool looked at the silver ingot with white flowers and was dumbfounded, how could there be a silver ingot in the merit pool - the copper plate that was good!
Nan Chen felt that Bo Zhaoxu would probably be as he said, and he would also write words like Xiang Ye's Qin Se and Ming.
But with a glimpse of his afterglow, he vaguely glimpsed Bo Zhaoxu roughly writing on the ribbon, "I wish my beloved wife a smooth life and peace and security." ”。
……
The little monk who was still leading the way for the two of them hurriedly took the two to the tea room of the guests, and always felt that he couldn't stop thinking about it: "There are a lot of pilgrims coming today, the two donors will wait in this tea room first, and the lady and lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion will sit in the tea room next door for a while, and please don't walk around at will, so as not to offend." ”
Rao didn't remind him, and Bo Zhaoxu only had the intention of taking things and leaving.
