Chapter 19: The First Test
Yingxue Pavilion
Smoke and clouds, the fragrance of medicine.
An intricately patterned carpet was spread on the floor, and coughing sounds could be heard from time to time on the bed.
I saw a stunning man's eyes half-open and half-closed, his skin was as white as sickly, his face was bloodless, and his lips were as pale as snow-white paper.
This cough came from him.
"Ahem...... She's out of the house? The man said weakly, he didn't have any strength to support him to open his eyes at the moment, and even his fingers felt a little cold.
In front of the table, there was also a beautiful man, different from the feminine one on the bed, and sitting on the side of the table was a man in a crimson robe, with a sense of domineering and domineering all over his body, his eyes were blazing, and his fingertips were full of calluses.
His curly eyelashes were lifted, he looked at the man on the bed, and said in a light tone: "All according to your orders, I didn't let the secret guards intercept it, and the road was smooth, Lord Wang." ”
The person lying on the bed is the real prince who has disappeared for a long time.
When the prince heard the crimson-robed man's response, a vague smile opened up on the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Wang, are you sure you want to expose her to such a tricky issue from the beginning? Aren't you afraid that you will put the whole of our palace into it when the time comes? The crimson-robed man's eyes flashed with a glimmer of glass, and he bluntly pointed out the problem.
"Ahem...... Originally, this palace was crumbling, and she tossed it. This was the first test I had for her...... Ahem. The prince's tone became more and more ethereal, and in the end there was almost no sound.
If it weren't for the fact that the man in the crimson robe was a martial artist, and his ear power was even more beyond ordinary people, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear what the prince said.
"Whatever you say, I'm just a guard." The crimson robed man muttered discontentedly, his white fingers stretched out, and he picked up the cup beside him, which still contained tea, and wisps of green smoke floated slowly.
He bit the edge of the cup like a rose petal, and took a sip gently, the refreshing aroma of tea remaining between his lips and teeth.
Good tea.
"Beginning of the month...... Are you angry with me? The prince noticed that the crimson robed man, the only trustworthy person beside him, Jiang Yue, seemed to be dissatisfied, and he asked out loud.
However, as soon as the words fell, the prince felt that there was a strong smell of blood in his mouth, and he couldn't help coughing, and the blood ran down the corner of his mouth.
Blood was streaming down his jaw, his neck, his collarbone.
It looks very poignant and adds a bit of bleakness.
Jiang Yuexin's heart tightened, he didn't care about the teacup in his hand, he threw it casually, and turned around and came to the edge of the bed, he methodically took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the blood on his body for the prince, and then took out the medicine that the prince often needed to take and put it on the side of the prince's lips.
"I'm not angry, if you want to be crazy, just go crazy with you, anyway, my life at the beginning of the month is yours." Jiang Yue's brows furrowed, but the words in his mouth were extremely comforting.
The prince stretched out the tip of his tongue and rolled the pill into his mouth.
As the pill went down, the effect of the medicine began to work, and with a shallow smile, he said lightly, "Thank you, Moon." ”
……
Su Mujiu came to the city gate non-stop.
The sun was hanging high above her now, and she felt every inch of her skin scorched.
It's so hot in here, it's like a big stove.
Alas, it would be nice if there was air conditioning.
Although her master often taught her that her heart is calm and naturally cool.
But right now, Su Mujiu's heart can't calm down at all, and every minute and second of playing is a heartbeat.
She grumbled as she looked around for the figure of the steward.
Finally, in the midst of the crowd coming and going, she caught a sneaky sight.
The man was dressed in coarse linen, unkempt and dirty, and walked awkwardly, and he paced to and fro on the edge of the city, looking anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Although he tried his best to disguise, but vaguely, Su Mujiu saw those eyes with a hint of obscenity.
It's just such a look, Su Mujiu quickly determined that this was the manager.
Su Mujiu strode up to the sneaky person, she circled around the person and couldn't help but sigh.
This manager is dressed like this, and it's even worse than her.
If she didn't look closely, she would think it was a beggar begging along the street.
"Hey." Su Mujiu called.
The manager was originally shrunk, his eyes were flickering, and when he heard Su Mujiu's exclamation, he trembled with fright, his brows twisted into twists, and said a little secretly: "Brother Tai, please get out of the way, I'm waiting for someone." ”
Obviously, the manager didn't recognize the person in front of him as Su Mujiu at all.
Su Mujiu coughed lightly, put her fingertips behind her ears, ripped the cloth off her face, and the corners of her pale pink mouth gently raised: "Siguan, it's me." ”
The steward first glanced casually, and saw a man with a gloomy face and ordinary clothes standing in front of him, he waved his hand, "You recognize the wrong person, I'm not the steward." ”
"I'm Su Mujiu." Su Mujiu reminded again.
When the manager heard this, he hurriedly fixed his eyes and took a look.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you can't believe your eyes when you look at it, "Wang ...... Rajah? ”
"Uh-huh." Bai Ni bowed his head and admitted his identity.
"You...... Why are you so tanned all of a sudden, and why does it smell so strange? The steward's brow furrowed even deeper, and he asked in disbelief.
"Strange smell?" Su Mujiu lowered his head and sniffed at his body.
No, except for the faint smell of medicine, there is nothing else.
"Alright, alright, let's not discuss these haves and haves, I'll ask you if you can get a carriage." Su Mujiu can be described as a justifiable robbery.
She has no power and no power now, and she can't touch the treasury of the palace in the palace at all, so naturally her sleeves are clean and her pockets are empty.
Besides, now that she ran out secretly, it is even more impossible to be rich.
Naturally, the matter of renting the carriage was handed over to the manager.
This Wushan is still some distance away from this imperial city, and if they go on foot, they are afraid that they will be delayed for many hours.
"This ...... Lord, didn't you let someone prepare a carriage when you went out? The steward obviously didn't expect that the prince could appear in front of him in such a plain dress.
You must know that the most luxurious person in this capital is the master in front of him.
"You don't know what it means to be low-key, the number one suspect in the eyes of the emperor at my moment, if he is too public, he is afraid that he will attract the blow of political enemies, do you understand?"
Su Mujiu's flickering technique, she dares to call herself the second in this world, and no one dares to call her the first.
