Text Chapter 197 Entering Beijing without an edict
"Why are you back?" Xiao He's eyes widened, "I don't remember that the emperor issued an edict to let you come back!" ”
After she finished speaking, she glanced back at Tang Yiwei, who was getting dressed, and looked back at Duan Heng who was standing at the door, before explaining what he asked, "Burn Ai." In fact, after Duan Heng asked, he had already seen the dried wormwood and ginger slices placed on the side, and the herbs in the air also truthfully explained everything.
"Who is he?" With a hint of unwillingness, Duan Heng pointed at Tang Yiwei and continued to ask.
Xiao He tilted his head to look at him, and was a little dissatisfied with his attitude, "Speaking of which, I have to ask your good brother Situ Xun." What the hell are you doing here? Who else knows? ”
She simply stepped forward and pulled Duan Heng, half-pulling and half-dragging him out, and did not forget to tell Tang Yiwei to rest well, pay attention to keeping warm and not suffering from the cold again.
When he arrived in the main hall of the front yard, Duan Heng untied the big gun, and the smile on his face did not decrease, "Yingge is homesick, I will send her back to see." By the way, I'll take a look at you too...... Guys. Xiao He stood beside him and poured him tea, "Without Mu Churan's edict, you can't enter the imperial capital when the sky falls." You should know this rule better than I do. Don't go back to the palace, or stay with me first, and don't run around. You can be recognized by anyone who walks around the street with this face. ”
Seeing Xiao He shaking his head and sighing and worrying about himself, Duan Heng seemed to be even happier, and took the teacup in her hand, "I covered it up well all the way, and ordered someone to send Liu Yingge back to Liu's house before going around to you." I was going to hide with you for a few days. ”
"First with me...... Where else are you going? Xiao He raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was now the master of one party, and he should be much more stable no matter how he said it, but he didn't expect to be so ignorant.
"In the huge imperial capital, although I have many acquaintances, there are few who really put it in my heart. When I see you now, my heart is already at peace, and then my mother and sister are the concubine and my sister, in fact, there is nothing else to ......" The two words of concern, Duan Heng did not say anything, poured the tea soup into his mouth and swallowed it together.
"Forget it, you're back anyway, and it's not bad for a few days. It's better to wait for the New Year and then go back quietly. But remember, let's not take this as an example! Xiao He stretched out his finger and said to him with a somewhat instructive tone.
Duan Heng feigned anger, opened his mouth and pretended to bite off her fingers, ahhh
Xiao He was so amused by his childish behavior that he couldn't cry or laugh, and raised his hand to pat him on the forehead, "It's not serious." ”
"Looks like someone doesn't want a gift anymore." He made a gesture and reached into his arms to get something, pursed his thin lips, and looked at Xiao He with a smile. Xiao He's suspicious gaze fell on his wrist, "Gift? What other gifts did you bring me? ”
Duan Heng reached out and took out a delicate dagger, less than a foot long, and the gems on the dagger sheath alone were dazzling. Xiao He took it, his tentacles were still warm, but he thought he was carrying it in his arms all the way, and he still carried his body temperature. She couldn't help but look up at him again, and saw that he was looking at her expectantly, as if there was a mystery waiting to be discovered.
She pulled out the dagger, and the sound of the unsheath was unusual, the blade was extremely thin, but there was a faint cold light in the black.
"It is said that it is made of dark iron that has been sunk in the deep sea for thousands of years, don't look at it small, it is extremely hard, I have tried, it is very easy to use, I want to give you self-defense, you must like it." Duan Heng offered treasures on the side as if to explain.
Xiao He tried to swing to the side, and with a bang, a piece of wood was cut off from the armrest of the circle chair next to him, and the incision was white and neat. She couldn't help but exclaim, "So fast! Seeing this reaction, Duan Heng was very satisfied, "What? Are you satisfied? ”
"Not bad." Xiao He nodded, and she looked at the dagger sheath again, "It's just that it's a little too flowery, like what the girl's family likes." ”
Duan Heng almost didn't blurt out, aren't you just a girl, what do you dislike. He held out his hand, "If you don't like those gems, I'll pick them all out for you." Xiao He returned the dagger to the sheath and gave him a blank look, "How can it be done, it's bare, isn't it not good-looking?" ”
Hearing this, Duan Heng laughed out loud, his heart was extremely happy, he rode a horse and galloped along the way, regardless of the frost and snow, all the hard work was worth it, and they were all happy for the people in front of him.
"By the way, are you hungry?" Xiao He put away the gift, and then suddenly remembered this question.
"Hungry! It's all close to the back, and the last meal was this morning. Duan Heng exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"I'll tell the kitchen to prepare something for you." She went out as she spoke, and began to wonder how to settle him these days. There is no wing, and it is impossible to build a room or tidy up the storeroom. This matter has to be discussed with Hongzhu.
In the backyard, in the hut, Tang Yiwei was holding Xiao He's clothes that had fallen here, a little distracted. After a long time, he put her clothes in front of his nose, and sniffed her breath on it, which was a familiar herbal smell and a little sweetness, which was her unique taste.
The breath calmed his heart for a moment, and an imperceptible smile floated to the corner of his lips.
Suddenly, Hongzhu knocked on the door, "It's me, Hongzhu, I'm here to deliver medicine." ”
He quickly put down his clothes and went over to open the door. Hongzhu came in with a medicine bowl, and he reached out to take it, smiling and thanking her. Hongzhu waved her hand gently, but her eyes fell to the side and saw Xiao He's clothes.
"Huh? Isn't this Childe's clothes? I'll send her over in a moment. Hongzhu put away his clothes with a self-muttering word, and when he walked to the door, he turned back and asked him as if confirmed, "Tang Gongzi, there should be no problem with your voice." Why did you delay speaking, was there something else to hide, or was it something else? ”
Hongzhu's gaze stared at him as if it were scrutinizing.
Tang Yiwei seemed to be unmoved, and gestured to imply that he was indeed innocent.
"I once saw in an ancient book a secret technique of molting skin and bones, which can dissolve all kinds of poisons in the world, but it can also torture people beyond recognition. It is said to have been handed down by ancient divine doctors, which sounds incredible, but in ancient times, healers and witches were one. I don't know if Tang Gongzi has heard of it? Hongzhu said as she observed Tang Yiwei's reaction.
"In the past few days, when I was taking your pulse, I found something interesting. Although you have no inner breath, just like an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts, the sea of qi is extremely deep. If it weren't for the many probes, I wouldn't be sure. Originally, a woman like me who doesn't know martial arts shouldn't know this, but thanks to someone who gave me a copy of "Wuji Internal Strength Heart Method", I learned it for more than half a year, and I also knew some of it. Unless someone who has practiced martial arts and has excellent internal skills, he will not have such a deep sea of qi. You say, what would Childe think if I told her about these discoveries? ”
After Hongzhu finished the last sentence, Tang Yiwei's brows furrowed, he really covered it up well.
"Don't tell her!" But as soon as he opened his mouth, Hongzhu knew that his conjecture was right.
A person's appearance changes, but the voice has been formed since adulthood, and unless the vocal cords are severely damaged, it will not change much.
Hongzhu breathed a long sigh of relief, "You're back." Childe waited so hard for you. ”
"Red Bead Girl! Are you there? Adults are looking for you everywhere. The little guy outside the door shouted in the courtyard.
Tang Yiwei whispered to Hongzhu: "Please keep this matter secret, don't tell her!" ”
Hongzhu stared at him, incredulous, "Why?" Don't you know Childe's heart for you? When I thought you were dead, she almost ......" Tang Yiwei smiled bitterly, "Give me some more time." ”
The little guy outside the door seemed to be looking for something else, and the footsteps were far away.
Hongzhu sighed softly, "Since you have the heart to come back, you should also know that no matter what you become, as long as you come back, she will be satisfied." Don't let her go. With that, she pushed the door out and called out to the little guy in a loud voice, "I'm here, is the son in the front yard?" ”
Back in the front hall, Xiao He grabbed Hongzhu, "Is there any room in our house now?" ”
Hongzhu glanced at Duan Heng, who was eating a lot behind her, and lowered her voice to Xiao He and said, "The prince wants to stay here?" Originally, there was still a place in the West Chamber, but a few days ago, the prince didn't say that he would make room for the things rewarded in the palace, so it was a bit messy. ”
"Do you think the treasury can be inhabited?" Xiao He asked.
"The warehouse is also full, and a large number of medicinal herbs are hoarded before winter, and the ventilation of the place is not good, this kind of weather is really not suitable for people." Hongzhu explained.
Duan Heng was halfway through eating in the back, and pricked up his ears, "I heard you right, you actually want to arrange for me to live in the warehouse?" ”
Xiao He looked back and smiled, "You don't know about my house, it's such a big place, some orphans were taken in some time ago, and the side rooms have been greatly changed, and there are no empty rooms for single people now." Whoever asked you to come back suddenly at this time, it was not a stopgap measure. I won't let you sleep in the wood room. ”
"Where is it so troublesome, I can't squeeze it with you." Duan Heng deliberately showed a rogue smile.
"How weird it is for two big men to huddle together." Xiao He's face turned white.
"Weird? I don't think so. It's cold, and it's so warm to hug each other. As he spoke, he stood up and laughed even more shamelessly.
"It's better for the prince to go to the slave house at night to live, and ask the prince to live in the son's room. How is it? Hongzhu suggested.
Xiao He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's decided!" After speaking, he was afraid that Duan Heng would not be happy, so he hurriedly added, "Brother Duan, I will give you the largest bedroom in this mansion." ”
Hongzhu turned around and went out to clean up the room.
After late at night, the Xiao Mansion returned to quiet, except for the occasional patrolling guards. Everyone has fallen asleep.
A black shadow floated into the backyard from outside the courtyard wall of Xiaofu, silently, and fell to the door of Tang Yiwei's room, and with a little internal force, the door latch was knocked down from the outside. The man entered the house like a shadow on the wall.
