Chapter 42: Demolition and Destruction of Homes

But Xiao Wanyan naturally didn't know about the medicine sold in Chu Huai's gourd, he took Qu Xiaoran back to the courtyard angrily, she sat on the mahogany chair, tilted her head slightly and looked at the bronze mirror in front of her: "I originally thought that Xiao Wanyan still had weight in his heart, but I didn't expect him to be a scumbag, half-heartedly, eating what was in the bowl and looking at the pot and thinking about the basin." ”

"If I don't do anything, I'm sorry for this slap I received." She touched her face and gasped, she had to get this slap back no matter what, otherwise I'm sorry for her bullying nature.

Qu Xiaoran took a bottle of wound medicine and smeared it on Xiao Wanyan: "Imperial daughter, the temperament you have in the Prime Minister's Mansion is different from before. ”

Xiao Wanyan frowned and said, "What's the difference?" ”

Qu Xiaoran closed the medicine bottle and pursed his lips: "The princess never gave others a chance to take advantage of it before, she was neat and decisive towards people and things, how could she be bullied?" ”

Xiao Wanyan stared at him like a torch.

Qu Xiaoran smiled dryly: "Xu is slave feels wrong, the princess is still the same as before, but she is in love and has compassion, which is also a good thing." "He won't be mistaken, Xiao Wanyan's occasional disobedience in the past few days is not only because of the throne of Da Liang, which must be mixed with some things about Chu Huairan, just now, in the courtyard, her eyes when she looked at Chu Huairan have changed, others can't see it, how can he not see it.

In the past, no one could force her to do what she didn't want to, but now a Chu Huairan broke all her rules.

has been staying with Xiao Wanyan for a long time, and he can see it clearly in the matter of love.

Xiao Wanyan was stunned, she had to admit that she seemed to be softer than before, this is not a good phenomenon, she took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and told Qu Xiaoran about coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past few months.

Qu Xiaoran lowered his eyes, while packing up the medicine bottle by himself, he carefully pricked up his ears and listened, until Xiao Wanyan brought many of the details one sentence, after finishing speaking, Qu Xiaoran looked at her for a while, and said: "The princess, you have always put state affairs first, and the reckless at the beginning is okay, but now it is different, the country is in tatters, the throne is taken away, and the slave is presumptuous. ”

Xiao Wanyan was stunned, a crimson light flashed in her mind, and she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, recovering the country, that was what she had been planning from the beginning, but now that she thinks about it, it seems to be more and more off track, in addition to surrounding Chu Huairan on weekdays, she is revolving around the people around him, it turns out that she is a little greedy for ordinary days, and she has forgotten everything she has suffered before, although she always says that she wants revenge, but in the end, she is competing with other women for men.

The teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a snap, split, and scattered in the corner, Qu Xiaoran knelt down suddenly, kneeling on the shards, he just frowned, and supported his right hand on the ground: "It's a slave." ”

Xiao Wanyan's empty eyes were blank for a while, and then she came back to her senses, and her expression was a little lighter: "Get up, you're right, you should prepare for the restoration of the country." ”

Qu Xiaoran's eyes lit up, he trembled his knees, and staggered up: "The princess, our people have taken over the shop, and continue to develop their power in different streets, now we have a separate intelligence network, all the news of Da Liang and Da Zhou is not a problem, and I heard that recently, King Yi is favored and wants to conspire with the people of the Western Regions to provoke a dispute between Da Liang and Da Zhou." ”

King Yi has been very quiet recently, he didn't come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find bad luck, and he didn't send anyone to assassinate her, and Yu Chiyan has been very quiet recently, everyone seems to be asleep, as if they were quiet before the storm.

Xiao Wanyan was silent: "Since the day I married into the prime minister, Qi Jiuchen has sent people to assassinate me three times and five times, I suspect that he has any secrets that Xiao Wanyan knows, so he wants to kill people, I need you to investigate Xiao Wanyan and all the things he did before, as for Chu Huairan, I have my own decision." ”

Qu Xiaoran didn't speak again, knowing that Xiao Wanyan's temperament couldn't push her too hard, as for Chu Huairan, it would all be up to him to solve it after he returned to the country.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Xiao Wanyan raised her vigilance and asked, "Who?" ”

Chu Huairan's voice came from outside the door: "How is the injury on your face?" ”

Qu Xiaoran packed up the debris on the ground, got up to open the door, and lowered his head after seeing Chu Huai's eyes like a torch, and walked out.

Chu Huairan is a cautious person, when he arranged Qu Xiaoran into the mansion, he asked people to check Qu Xiaoran's identity, the strange thing is that the identity background is too regular, and the rules are a little suspicious.

It's just that because of Xiao Wanyan's love, he had to observe secretly, and he didn't find out that he had malicious intentions towards Xiao Wanyan, so he kept him.

Chu Huairan walked to Xiao Wanyan's side, looked at her face slightly swollen, quite distressed, and took out a jar of medicinal powder from his arms: "This is the imperial medicine rewarded by the emperor, it is very effective, it can reduce the swelling after a while, I will apply it to you." ”

Xiao Wanyan's heart sank, and she also felt that she seemed to have lost her hatred for Chu Huairan at the beginning, she stood up, turned around and walked to the window, and picked up the kettle for the bedside

Flower watering: "Don't bother with the princess, the concubine's body has already been medicated." ”

Chu Huairan put the medicinal powder on the table, and his heart suddenly sounded when Xiao Wanyan spoke so well, in front of him, he either called each other by name or shouted, and he had never said these high-sounding titles.

Xiao Wanyan's words carefully pondered in Chu Huairan's heart, this experience was not easy, he just thought of a lot of things that did not happen but might happen soon, and his calm mood was instantly broken, stirring up turbulent waves.

He has already moved his heart to Xiao Wanyan, Xiao Wanyan's every move is affecting him, and he was kind and angry a few days ago, but today he has returned to the original point, how can he not care.

Chu Huairan strode to Xiao Wanyan's side, picked up a kettle and watered a pot of flowers next to him, glanced at Xiao Wanyan from time to time, and said in a thoughtful voice: "Madam likes flowers and plants so much, I will let people plant them all in the house tomorrow?" ”

Xiao Wanyan held the kettle for a moment, raised her eyelids and glanced at him, and called Qu Xiaoran, who was guarding the door, in: "You send these flowers to the county lord's mansion, so that they will not all be raised to death here by me." ”

"Yes." Qu Xiaoran picked up the flower pot, looked at the pot of flowers that Chu Huairan was watering, and said: "Xiangye, I'm afraid that this pot of crab claw orchid will be watered to death by you, I'm afraid that the county lord won't be able to save it, so let's take it back to your courtyard to see if it can survive." ”

Xiao Wanyan and Chu Huairan looked at each other in pairs, and their eyes showed a little disgust: "This pot of flowers was brought by the concubine from her mother's family, and it has been raised for about seven or eight years. ”

Chu Huairan observed that it was pleasant, he moved his eyes to the side, was silent for a while, and whispered two sentences: "I didn't mean to, besides, who knows that this flower is still afraid of water." ”

Xiao Wanyan left the bedside, turned around and walked towards the bookshelf in the corner, Chu Huairan quickly put down the kettle in his hand when he saw it, and followed.

Xiao Wanyan flipped through a few books, some of them had mildew spots, the corners of the room were damp, there was no time to look through them, and there was a smell of moisture, she called Qu Xiaoran again, and said, "Xiao Ran, take advantage of the good weather to take out these books and dry them, otherwise they will all be ruined in the house." ”

This time, before Qu Xiaoran came over, Chu Huairan took the lead in blocking the bookshelf, and said to Xiao Wan with a smile: "This little thing, I'll just come, the books in the study in the past were all taken out by me and Han Yi to dry, I have experience." ”

That's it, Chu Huairan took out a book and slowly stacked it together, intending to take it out to dry.

The corner was a little gloomy, and Xiao Wanyan didn't have time to clean up the objects in the corner, Chu Huairan had a short oval vase at his feet, Chu Huairan only cared about taking out the book, but he didn't care about his feet, he took a step, tripped over the vase, and his feet were unstable and hit the bookshelf.

Fortunately, Chu Huairan worked hard again, and immediately stabilized his body, but the bookshelf didn't have such good kung fu, it fell outward, and the books on the shelves also fell to the ground, and Chu Huairan felt cold in his heart.

He glanced at Xiao Wanyan cautiously, and as expected, he and she looked at all this coldly, as if there was a fire in their eyes, and slowly approached Chu Huairan: "Xiangye, are you here to demolish the family?" If you really don't like me, just tear down the house, I'll help you with the roof, and take care of the rest. ”

Xiao Wanyan walked out of the house angrily, and Chu Huairan hurriedly chased out: "Wanyan, I didn't mean that, you listen to my explanation." ”

Before leaving, Chu Huairan inadvertently took down the candle lamp on the table, and the candle lamp lit the book that fell to the ground, and the flames lit up, and the fire spread little by little.

The two people outside the house still didn't know the situation in the house, Chu Huairan followed closely behind Chu Huairan and grabbed her arm: "Don't you know my affection for you?" Today, it was my negligence that made you wronged, you give me another chance, and I promise not to let you be hurt in the slightest way. ”

Xiao Wanyan was silent for a while, she turned around, and the smell of thick smoke filled her nose, and she frowned and heard Qu Xiaoran's voice sound: "It's on fire, put out the fire quickly." ”

With Xiao Wanyan's surprised look, Qu Xiaoran ran out of the house, the room was full of light, and the fire caught the sky, Xiao Wanyan's eyes widened, and she looked at Qu Xiaoran with soot on her face in a daze, and murmured: "It's burning?" ”

Qu Xiaoran gasped and nodded, "It's burning." ”

Xiao Wanyan shook off Chu Huairan's hand fiercely, gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, you Chu Huairan, you are here to find bad luck for me, and you burned the house, okay, burn it, I will never come back from sleeping on the street in the future, goodbye." ”

Chu Huai's intestines were repentant, and the things that happened to a meticulous person on weekdays when he met a woman were so unsmooth, he hurriedly stopped in front of Xiao Wanyan: "Wanyan, listen to me, this fire is an accident." ”

Accidentally? Xiao Wanyan is angry now, she found that Chu Huairan is really suitable for lonely old age, she glared at Chu Huairan, and blurted out: "You can live by yourself, Madame, I won't serve anymore." ”
