Xie An paused and explained, "This osmanthus tree was planted by the owner a few days ago. ”

"Didn't you plant it a few days ago?" Mu Yu was also stunned for a moment.

"The master knew that Mrs. liked to eat osmanthus cakes, and said that the house was too empty, so he sent someone to plant osmanthus trees in the yard." Xie An paused, and then continued, "The master also said that if the lady doesn't like it, then change it all. ”

Mu Yu shook his head, "You don't need to change it, just the osmanthus tree, I like it a lot." She believes that Xie Chongning has done this kind of thing by uprooting all the osmanthus trees and replanting them.

"If Madame has any daily needs, just tell me that I will take you around the house today." Xie An walked half a step in front of Mu Yu, and took her through every part of the Xie Mansion in turn, Mu Yu also saw it, Xie An said that he was taking himself to visit the Xie Mansion, but in fact, he wanted the people of the Xie Mansion to know her.

With Xie An by Mu Yu's side, the people saluted obediently, and none of them dared to have half a point of neglect.

In the evening, Mu Yu sat alone at the empty dining table, looking at the hot food in front of him, and chuckled, "Is he really angry with me?" ”

Xie An stood beside Mu Yu, "Madame, don't think too much, the master is just busy with official business, so he can't come back to eat with you, these dishes are specially prepared by the host for me." ”

Mu Yu pursed her lips, she didn't say anything about it, she didn't know how busy Xie Chongning was, but if she hadn't realized that Xie Chongning was really angry until now, then she would be a fool.

She picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites of food nearby, the cook's skills are good, but no matter how delicious the dishes on the table are, let her eat alone, and she doesn't feel fragrant.

She ate a few bites casually, then put down her chopsticks with a faint interest, turned her head sideways and said to Xie An, "Don't prepare so many dishes in the future, I won't be able to eat it alone." Also, if he doesn't want to see me, I can eat in my own room without him avoiding me. ”

"Ma'am?" Xie An was slightly stunned, and immediately explained, "Madam misunderstood, the master is really on his own. ”

Seeing that Mu Yu didn't believe it, he said again, "Madame, do you still remember that on the way back from Nanxun, there was a plague in Mingzhou City. ”

"Yes." It's just that all the people in the city were burned to death by Xie Chongning, could it be that now the emperor is pursuing this matter again?

"This epidemic should have been controlled, but I don't know why, this disease has spread again in the south, and now people in the south have begun to flee for their lives to the north, and several states and counties south of the capital are now in chaos."

Mu Yu frowned, the ancient medical methods were not developed, once an epidemic occurred, it must have killed and injured countless people, "But how could the disease that should have been controlled suddenly break out?" Is it a fish that slipped through the net? ”

Xie An shook his head, "The master is investigating, and you should also know that the emperor has been unwell recently, and the court is in turmoil, and the master really can't get out." ”

Mu Yu nodded, the cabinet has been taking the opportunity of the emperor's illness to deprive the military of power, she has also heard a thing or two, and Xie Chongning is a person with a clear position, these cabinet ministers must be the first to attack Xie Chongning.

"Then you can send him some food, after all, the food in Dali Temple is not as good as in the house." Mu Yu glanced at the rest of the food on his table, and suddenly felt guilty.

Xie An was embarrassed, "We have the heart to send it over, but you also know the master's temperament, if we go, the master will not eat, maybe he will scold us, or ...... Madame, will you send it to your master? ”

"I'll send it?" Mu Yu was stunned.

"Yes, if you send it over, the master will definitely eat it." Xie An tried his best to make an encouraging expression at Mu Yu. "I'll have a hot meal ready, and I'll ask you to bring it to the master."

Mu Yu opened his mouth dryly, but he didn't stop Xie An.

Escaping from marriage, coupled with the fact that the first husband of the newlywed did not stay in the room, has made Mu Yu, the new Mrs. Xie, famous, and now she appeared at the door of Dali Temple with a food box, which is even more eye-catching.

The guards at the gate of Dali Temple saw Mu Yu, but they looked at each other, and no one knew whether to let Mu Yu in directly. After all, they all knew that the relationship between Lord Xie and Mrs. Xie was not harmonious.

The two guards "secretly sent autumn waves" to each other, and no one dared to go up to stop this Mrs. Xie, they all waited for the other party to exit, and just when the two hesitated, Mu Yu walked in with a food box.

The two wanted to stop it, but they didn't dare to stop it, so they followed behind Mu Yu with a weak heart and walked in with her.

Mu Yu looked back at the guards behind him in confusion, and without thinking much about it, he walked to Xie Chongning's study and knocked on the door.

The folds piled up into a small mountain, covering most of Xie Chongning's body, leaving only a black piece of top of his head.

"Who?" Xie Chongning's tone was cold mixed with a bit of dissatisfaction, he was already busy, and anyone dared to disturb him at this time?

Mu Yu lowered his head in embarrassment, carrying the food box in his hand, "It's me." ”

Xie Chongning slowly raised his head, but his eyes changed instantly, but he still had a cold face and asked lightly, "Why are you here?" Something at home? ”

Mu Yu slightly raised the mahogany food box he was carrying in both hands, "I saw that you didn't come back to eat, and I heard Xie An say that you were busy, so I thought of sending you some." ”

She stood at the door stiffly, feeling like a girl delivering food, where did she have half of the hostess's confidence? "If you don't want to eat it, I'll take it back."

Xie Chongning's expression softened a little, and he looked at the tea table, "You don't need to take it back, just put it on the table." ”

"Oh." Mu Yu walked stiffly to the table, opened the food box and set up a few side dishes, "Let's be busy later, this dish is still hot, you can eat first." ”

For some reason, the food in this food box smelled much more fragrant than what she had just eaten, and she actually felt a little hungry, knowing that she had just eaten two more bites.

"Hmm." Xie Chongning lowered his head slightly, and the large stack of folds blocked half of his face, and also blocked the arc of the corners of his lips that couldn't help but rise.

He quickly sorted out his expression, walked to the table coldly, looked at Mu Yu who was still standing aside, and there was still a bit of longing for his own food in his eyes, so he couldn't help but ask, "Have you eaten?" Do you want to eat together? ”

"Just a pair of chopsticks." Mu Yu flattened her mouth, in fact, she really wanted to eat something.

Xie Chongning smiled lowly, picked up his chopsticks, and personally picked up a piece of meat and put it on Mu Yu's mouth, "Eat." ”

Mu Yu subconsciously shrunk his neck, not wanting to accept Xie Chongning's feeding, "You can eat it, I have actually eaten it." ”

"You're tired of delivering food, I can't finish so many things, and eating a bite or two can be regarded as helping me." After that, Xie Chongning took the chopsticks and sent them forward again.

The flesh touched Mu Yu's soft lips and pressed out a small arc, and she opened her small mouth in shame and ate the head that was brought to her mouth.

Xie Chongning was very patient, staring at her cheeks that couldn't help but agitate, and seeing that the food in her mouth was almost gone, the chopsticks were sent up again.

The two guards guarding the door behind Mu Yu saw this scene, and they were really frightened, thanks to the fact that they didn't stop Mrs. just now, and they didn't know if it was the one who lacked morality, this Lord Xie and his wife obviously had a good relationship, but it turned out that they were not in harmony, it was really a trick.

Mu Yu ate two pieces of meat and quickly shook his head, "I can't eat it, you can eat it quickly." ”

"That's so full?" Xie Chongning didn't believe it, and wanted to continue feeding.

"I ate before I came out." Mu Yu pursed his lips, strange and embarrassed.

Xie Chongning nodded slightly, and sat down calmly, "Can't eat alone?" Next time, remember two pairs of chopsticks. He didn't dislike it, and continued to eat with the chopsticks used by Mu Yu.

And next time? Mu Yu took advantage of Xie Chongning's low head to eat and couldn't see himself, and secretly glanced at his mouth, "I heard Xie An say that the plague in the south has spread again?" ”

"He told you this?"

"That's what I asked." Mu Yu explained that Xie An was also kind, and she couldn't let Xie An take the blame, "Wasn't this epidemic under control before, how could it suddenly break out again?" ”

Xie Chongning didn't hide it from him, "It's really under control, and the entire Mingzhou City is sprayed with sulfur, and my subordinates also confirmed that there is no problem with the surrounding villages before evacuating." ”

In other words, Xie Chongning has done his best to control the epidemic, "Could it be that there are fish that have slipped through the net?" ”

"I thought the same thing at the beginning, but from the time and place of this outbreak, it doesn't match at all."

"What do you mean?" Mu Yu was puzzled.

"Once this disease is obtained, the whole body will ulcerate, and within three days you will be bedridden, and you can't escape if you want to, but the place where the outbreak broke out this time is Xiaowan, hundreds of miles away from Mingzhou."

"In other words, even if someone escapes from Mingzhou, they will fall down halfway, and they won't be able to reach Xiaowan at all." Mu Yu understood what Xie Chongning meant, "Maybe this disease didn't come on when it was contaminated?" ”

Xie Chongning shook his head, "This disease was deliberately spread by someone. ”

Hearing this, the hairs on Mu Yu's body trembled instantly, "How come?" How can ordinary people have such ability? ”

Xie Chongning didn't answer, he really didn't know who could do this, but most of this epidemic was not a natural disaster.

"So what now?" Mu Yu was uneasy in his heart, and for some reason, he was worried together, the emperor was weak, and there was an epidemic among the people, and the Ming Dynasty was really in dire straits.

"We can only control the flow of people and wait for the imperial doctor to develop a drug that can treat the epidemic." Xie Chongning said slowly.

But everyone knows that this kind of waiting, I don't know when it will be waiting. If only one city is sick, it is easy to control one county, but now the disease has spread in the south.

"What if you can't control it?"

"I'll go myself." Xie Chongning replied in a deep voice.

Mu Yu was stunned, "You want to go in person?" "This epidemic is not a battlefield, there may be a glimmer of life in the battlefield martial arts, but for the epidemic, no one is discriminated!" You're going to be infected! ”

"No, it won't." Xie Chongning's voice was very soft, so light that Mu Yu didn't feel half of the convincing.
