Chapter 189: See you in the bamboo forest

Song Qingzhi heard Wu Mei say that the prince had never loved a woman as much as he loved Shen Mengxin, and looked at Wu Mei to see if he had an angry look, after all, wives and concubines are fighting, and they must pay attention to the undercurrent under the surface.

However, Aunt Wu's face was calm, and there was no pity in her eyes when she looked at Shen Mengxin, so Qingzhi was relieved.

The three of them talked again, and although Xuanjing didn't come over that night, Shen Mengxin took the pill and said to have slept peacefully.

The next day, Song Qingzhi finished baking the cake and was about to go back to the 'dormitory' to rest as usual.

Qingzhi was shocked and was about to call, but his mouth was covered and he couldn't make a sound.

Someone whispered in her ear, "It's me." In the inn, I smelled the faint fragrance coming.

It was Ritsukogawa, and Aoeda breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his face and thinking of the dream scene, he became nervous again, and his face turned red.

Ritsukogawa guessed that the big change in Qingzhi's attitude was probably related to the change in his appearance, and explained with a smile: "Actually, the way I am now is what you were more familiar with before. ”

Qingzhi pretended to be calm and nodded: it was very familiar, and she remembered every place in him very clearly.

But when you wear all the clothes, you always have to live with the shadow left by the original body, and it's useless to think too much, so Qingzhi asked the truth: "Why did you come to the Renwang Mansion too?" Is there any new clue? ”

Ritsu Zichuan nodded: "Although the fireworks were fine on the day of the ceremony, General Zhou still sent people to find out if there were anything unusual on that day, and they really found it." ”

After speaking, he looked at Qingzhi with a smile, Qingzhi looked at him for a moment, and asked cooperatively, "What is unusual?" ”

Don't you say one thing twice, okay?

"All the medical officers of the Tai Hospital happened to have something wrong that day, and they couldn't accompany His Majesty in Cailou."

"Why? Was it deliberately arranged? ”

"No, it's all a coincidence, and there's no trace of it."

Song Qingzhi was surprised: "In that case, don't worry about it, okay?" Besides, what does this have to do with you coming to Nioh's Mansion? ”

"Related, if the fireworks really change direction suddenly that day, although it won't hurt anyone, the imperial doctor should give His Majesty a tonic such as the Dingshen Pill to prevent His Majesty's feelings from being damaged, since the imperial doctor is not there, maybe someone close to him will take the opportunity to persuade His Majesty to take the medicine in his purse. On that day, Nioh and Princess Ren were also in Cailou, and I thought maybe they had planned to do something in the medicine, so they came to the palace to look for clues. Still smiling, I just looked like I was going to take a look.

Qingzhi held his forehead: "The emperor shouldn't take medicine indiscriminately, right?" Are you a guess? ”

"Sort of." Still smiling, with clear eyes and a very pure look.

Qingzhi was speechless.

The two stood staring at each other for a moment.

Ritsu Zichuan suddenly had no head and no brains and asked, "Why didn't you come to the study to look for me for a while?" Won't they let you out? Someone bullied you? Why are you so pale? Do you want to go back? ”

"That...... I've been busy lately and haven't had time to go out. Everyone is very good to me, I'm not pale! It's whitening, right? The kind that used whitening powder! ”

Ritsu Zichuan suddenly laughed, laughing so much that a bamboo forest was sprinkled with golden rays of sunlight.

"That's good." He said.

Qingzhi turned her face away from him and asked into the air, "Why did they let you in the middle gate?" ”

"Of course they won't let me enter the middle door, I jumped over the wall to get in, and someone's sister in the study is on an errand inside, knowing that you live near here, and take a nap every afternoon."

"Jumping over a wall?! You are a sturdy man, who came to the backyard of the palace without permission, and was found to be beaten to death! ”

Hearing the word 'Jingzhuang', Ritsukogawa raised his eyebrows.

Fortunately, someone heard the voice, and Qingzhi recognized it as a few girls in Aunt Cao's room, afraid that they would see Ritsu Zichuan, and said, "I should go!" Let's go! Be careful not to be seen! "Ran away in a hurry.

When walking through Aunt Wu's yard, Qingzhi suddenly remembered: Aunt Wu should also have the soothing pill there, right?

I don't know if the fireworks have anything to do with Wu Mei? Aoeda decides to contact her more in the future, to gain trust, and to find out the news whenever he has the opportunity.

For the next while, Shen Mengxin's master and servant went to Aunt Wu's every day to chat and eat snacks, and resumed the old habit of chatting in the afternoon at Shen's house, but after this period of close contact, Qingzhi found that Wu Mei seemed to be gentle, but her heart was not open to people, and after being there for so long, everyone didn't know much more about her than the first day they saw her.

I don't know why the inner study is so idle, but Ritsukogawa has jumped over the wall twice recently to find Qingzhi.

Song Qingzhi was really trembling, afraid that he would be found to break his legs if he jumped around at will, so the two agreed to meet every two days, during the lunch break, in a cave behind the bamboo forest, where there were sparsely populated, and the girls in each room did not come.

On this day, the two sat on the stone in the cave, Qingzhi said that there are a lot of pills to calm the nerves in Wu Mei, and the girls sometimes have nightmares, and come to ask Aunt Wu to administer the medicine, she always gives it very generously, and has never heard of any side effects after eating, and sighed: "Anyway, I can't find anything here, do you have any clues there?" ”

Lu Zichuan listened to it for a long time, and said with a smile: "No, there are a lot of people in the palace these days, and I am busy writing gift lists and invitations all day long, so I don't have time to inquire about anything." ”

“…… Aren't you in a hurry? ”

"There's no hurry."

"The mentality is really good...... Didn't you say last time that you might be able to find out the truth about your family's grievances? Ignoring her opposition last time, Lu Zichuan insisted on telling her that General Lu was slandered and colluded with the Fan Kingdom, and he couldn't stop it, forcibly promoting the understanding between the two.

"That matter, you can investigate it slowly, don't be in a hurry. I'm more anxious about another thing. ”

"Oh? What's up? "Rare.

"When will you remember me?" A pair of peach blossom eyes looked at her, slightly disgusted, and a little worried.

Aoeda immediately remembered the dream about him, and wanted to say, "Actually, I remember a lot, a lot," but he didn't say it.

She became embarrassed and diverted the subject.

On the fifteenth full moon of this day, Shen Mengxin worshiped the moon, instructed Qingzhi to make a cream cake as a tribute, and asked her to come over to worship together, saying that she could ask for marriage.

Qingzhi doesn't believe this, but she doesn't want to ruin the fairy's interest, so she goes to the courtyard early to help Fluttershy and the maids set up the table, set up the incense burner, and load several plates of cakes, snacks, and fruits.

After everything is cleaned up, Fluttershy disperses the other maids and goes to the room to call Shen Mengxin.

Under the moonlight, Shen Mengxin, who was dressed in moon-white light veil, was like a fairy.

She reverently lit incense sticks, looked up at the moon and prayed something, the moon was like water, sprinkled on her face, Qingzhi felt that her whole body was slightly shining, and she was stunned.

Ahhhh

"What are you asking for?" A clear male voice came, and in the moonlight, the richly dressed Xuanjing walked towards Shen Mengxin, his eyes kept on her, and he didn't even notice the two passers-by Qingzhi and Fluttershy hiding on the side.

Shen Mengxin's face rose with a slight shyness, "It's just asking for a long time." ”

"Why do you need to worship the moon? This king will give you a long time. After speaking, she pulled Shen Mengxin into his arms, her body trembled slightly, and three incense sticks were scattered on the ground.
