Chapter 13: Harmony between the two

The candles in the room flickered, the dim yellow light shrouded the room, the window lattices were open and double-leafed, the night sky was deep and dark, the clouds were cloudy, and the cold wind blew in through the windows.

Gu Hanxuan sat on the table and chair, looking at the "Liutao" taken from the shelf, he occasionally raised his eyes to see Mu Yunqi sitting on the soft couch with his back to him, and his heart was satisfied.

Mu Yunqi sat cross-legged on the soft couch, there were medical books spread out on the square table, and a plate of crystal cakes was placed next to the medical books, her eyes were staring at the books without moving, her jade fingers reached into the jade plate and twisted a piece of exquisite and small pastry, watching the medical books chew intently. Lunch and dinner were all served according to Gu Hanxuan's preferences, she didn't use two mouthfuls at all, and after nightfall, she was hungry and ordered Aunt Lan to serve pastries.

She had never behaved so indecently in front of outsiders, and for some reason she was unwilling to be as restrained in her manners as she used to.

Outside the window, fine snowflakes drifted into the room, Gu Hanxuan raised his eyes and said softly, "The first snow has fallen." ”

When Mu Yunqi heard the reputation, she saw the small snowflakes falling on the window railing, she jumped up, lifted her skirt and ran out of the house barefoot.

Gu Hanxuan was dumbfounded, in vain she remembered that year's General's Mansion, snowflakes were flying all over the sky, she laughed and talked with them lightly, she joked with Mu Yunche freely, her face was bright and moving.

He got up and walked out of the room, and saw her chuckling in the courtyard clearing, a little snowflake falling on her, and the dim light in the lantern hanging under the dark night sky shone on her peerless grace.

When his gaze touched the white feet at her feet, he frowned slightly and smiled helplessly. Walked up to her and hugged her: "The crown princess is not afraid of being laughed at by the minions?" ”

She looked at her bare feet and brushed them over the hem of her skirt. "Who saw that?" She raised her cheeks and spoke in a contemptuous tone.

Gu Hanxuan carried her into the room, walked into the inner room and put her on the couch, supported her with his hands and said, "This palace wants to stay tonight?" He seemed to be begging for her approval, and his tone was slightly ambiguous.

Mu Yunqi's face turned cold in an instant, and she avoided her gaze and didn't want to see the heat in his eyes.

"This palace only sleeps with you, and will not force you, this palace has enough patience to treat you if you are willing." He looked at her and said softly, his eyes glowing with charm.

She nodded slightly, apologies welling up in her heart. She couldn't help but think that after she left him, she wondered if he would regret what he said today.

She looked at him and said solemnly: "Your Highness doesn't call people in to change clothes?" She flapped her eyelashes, looking harmless.

Gu Hanxuan curled the corners of his lips, chuckled, and raised a heart-stopping smile.

"Cheng Huan." He shouted out of the room, and immediately three maids entered the room and waited for him to change his clothes.

Yingfu bowed her head and entered, approached Mu Yunqi, and took off her gorgeous clothes.

Mu Yunqi reached out and shook the slender hand she was undressing her, raised a smile to show that it was okay, and saw that the melancholy in her eyes faded faintly, so he motioned for her to retreat.

She went up and pulled out a bed and placed it beside her, and pulled another over herself, she turned her back to him, and the snow was flying outside, and the candles were dim inside.

The maid bowed her head and retreated, Gu Hanxuan was dressed in a snow-white shirt, he turned to look at the sleeping bed, only to see Mu Yunqi lying inward wrapped in a quilt, leaving him a quilt on the side.

He couldn't help laughing, and stepped to the couch, lying facing her over the quilt.

"This palace heard that Subei took away your maid yesterday?" He lay on his back, his eyes staring at the dwarfed drapery of the yellow candles. Just like on the night of the wedding, he was so happy and happy.

Mu Yunqi turned around after hearing this, she looked at his handsome side, her eyes did not know what he meant.

Seeing that she was silent, he stared sideways, probing the deep meaning in her eyes.

She sighed deeply, her eyes drooping, and she was silent.

He caressed her creamy face with his palm, "In two days, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and the palace will let her out, so don't make trouble in the eyes of her father and emperor in the future." ”

"Your Highness.—" she murmured softly, unconvinced.

Gu Hanxuan raised a smile and affirmed it with his eyes. Then he reached back to the quilt and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Mu Yunqi looked at his face, looking at him in a daze with doubts on his face.

Her eyes slowly sank and she fell asleep.

The candle flame in the room burned out until it burned out, and at some point, Gu Hanxuan brushed open the quilt and got into her quilt, stretched out his arm to wrap his shoulders around her, and let her lie in his arms. He hugged her tightly with his arms, and she closed her eyes and opened them slightly, and glanced at them dimly, and then she fell into a deep sleep again.

Early the next morning, Gu Hanxuan got up lightly, wrapped the quilt around Mu Yunqi, he smiled and walked out of the inner room, Cheng Huan led the maid to walk from behind the peacock screen, he waved his hand, and walked out of the inner room to freshen up and change clothes.

He was dressed in a court robe with a majestic and majestic look, with an imperceptible joy at the corners of his mouth, and his face was calm but with a faint joy.

Walking out of the door of the Snow Dumping Palace, Cheng Huan tied a cloak for him.

Between heaven and earth is already covered with snow, covered in silver. The snow is drifting, the ground is snow-white, and the air is cold with a cold wind, freezing to the bone.

Gu Hanxuan was a big man, his head covered his cloak, and the snow-white fox fur blocked his hair crown, and he was graceful and luxurious. He stepped on the snow-covered official road, and his heart warmed up, and he was satisfied with the present.

"Rescue the maid that Subei took away from the crown princess." Without squinting, he commanded, and walked towards the Kuilong Palace.

Behind him, Nighthawk took the command and quickly left.

Mu Yunqi sat on the table after finishing her freshening, thinking about how to find the right time to leave.

Lan Gu hurriedly entered the house, "Crown Princess, Gardenia is back." She bowed her head.

Mu Yunqi got up and looked, walked around the table and walked to the door to look.

Seeing this, Lan Gu said in a low voice: "She has some injuries and needs to be treated. ”

She turned to look at Lan Gu, her face pale, and she couldn't help but wonder about the injury in her mouth. Then he stepped out and walked through the corridor to the apse.

"Yingfu will take the palace to the Tai Hospital, and you will apply some gold sore medicine to the wound on Yuxia's body." Mu Yunqi looked at Lan Gu and said solemnly.

Lan Gu nodded, took out the wound medicine from the porcelain vase and wiped it for her.

The corners of Yu Xia's mouth were chapped and peeling, she looked at Mu Yunqi and opened her lips slightly, a whimper sounded in her throat, and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, Mu Yunqi's eyes were red, tears welled up, and she forcibly turned around and stepped out.

Walking to the palace gate, Yingfu ran to follow with the red fox in his hand.

The snowflakes are falling in a frenzy, and the avenue in the palace is full of snow and few people.

The big red figure stepped into the Tai Hospital, and she quickly walked into the pharmacy and looked in front of the rows of shelves.

"Who are you, and you are not allowed to enter this place at will?" A waiter shouted into the room from the courtyard, and he stepped in, trying to chase away the intruder.

Yingfu turned around and showed displeasure: "Presumptuous, this is the crown princess, how can you be allowed to shout." ”

The waiter's feet paused slightly, and he looked carefully at the woman in the room who had never looked back, as if to check the truth of her maid's words.

"The slave didn't know that the crown princess was coming, so please forgive the princess." His body trembled slightly, and his tone was terrified.

"This palace needs to be white, knotweed, incense, red peony, astragalus, small thistle, hibiscus leaves, tell this palace, where to put it?" She asked, her face cold.

The waiter was slightly surprised, opened his mouth and paused, shocked by the astonishing appearance of the woman in front of him. He hurriedly lowered his head, soothed his surprise and said: "The crown princess forgives her sins, the slave doesn't dare to take the medicine privately, and you need a prescription or order from the imperial doctor?" ”

"Could it be that the words of this palace are not worth a doctor?" Her tone was cold and seemed to be angry.

The little attendant hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: "The princess is angry, the slave does not dare to assert himself, please wait a while, and the slave will report to the master." After saying that, he ran away.

Mu Yunqi's face softened, and he turned around and continued to search in rows.

Yingfu also followed the name of the medicine she had just pronounced, and looked at the name of the medicine under the medicine drawer.

"Crown Princess, can't the gold sore medicine cure Gardenia's injury?"

"The gold sore medicine had to be applied externally, but her injuries were serious and she needed to take some herbs to recover as soon as possible." She replied softly that Gardenia's injuries were serious, and that she had to be at least made good enough to walk first, otherwise all plans would have to be delayed.

Yingfu understood and searched carefully on the medicine shelf.

"Weichen see the crown princess." Xu Zhiming and the young waiter greeted each other.

Mu Yunqi heard the prestige, and saw Xu Zhiming standing at the door of the room and bowing slightly.

"Imperial Doctor Xu, please."

"I don't know what medicine the crown princess needs? Or where is the problem, Weichen can refer to the details for the crown princess. He knew that she knew a little about medicine, but she didn't look out of the ordinary, so he was suspicious.

"This palace is fine, but I need some medicinal materials."

"The crown princess can leave the name of the medicine, and Weichen can call someone to prepare it and send it to the East Palace." He said aloud, remembering that two days ago, he was in the Rihui Palace, and swept a painting from the desk in the imperial study, and the inscription in the painting was: Wuqing Bai Fanxi.

You don't have to think much about it to know this name, that is the person who is haunted by the emperor's dreams, the woman that the emperor personally went to see before the destruction of the dynasty, and the bane of the destruction of the dynasty later.

But what puzzled him even more was that the woman in the painting and the crown princess in front of him were the same person. From this, he couldn't help but understand why the Mu family was imprisoned, but the daughter of the Mu family was firmly in the position of the crown princess, and the emperor did not complain about the impeachment of the prince by hundreds of officials in the court.

"That's fine, it's just that the palace is urgently needed, I hope that Imperial Doctor Xu will order someone to prepare it at this moment, and the palace can bring it back." She stood up to look at him, her tone soft but unrepugnant.

"The crown princess can explain the symptoms, and Weichen can also refer to the medicinal materials you need to prescribe the right medicine." He said respectfully.

Mu Yunqi pondered slightly and said, "The injuries after the sentence are more serious. ”

Xu Zhiming was slightly surprised, then walked to the side, sat down on a wooden chair, and wrote with a pen. After a while, he dried the paper and got up to hand it to the waiter.

After a while, the little attendant handed over the two medicine bags to Yingfu, Mu Yunqi thanked Xu Zhiming slightly, and then led Yingfu Shi Shiran to leave.

"Master, now the palace is afraid of the crown princess, why are you..."

"Shut up, how can the royal family say it leisurely, no matter what, she is the crown princess now." Xu Zhiming scolded sharply, looking at the departing figure with a solemn face.

The waiter immediately kept silent, not daring to say more, and complained slightly in his heart.

Mu Yunqi stood on the corridor and looked coldly at Su Bei, who was leading the guards towards her from a distance.

"See the crown princess." He bowed down and saluted.

Mu Yunqi looked at him with a fierce expression, and said coldly: "Commander Su, this palace is still grateful to your subordinates for showing mercy, leaving a breath for the maid of this palace, and not putting her to death." After speaking, he walked away, without waiting for Su Bei to defend himself.

Before the words brewing in Su Bei's heart were spoken, the person in front of him had already stepped out of the corridor, and he turned to look at the woman who had stepped on the snowy avenue.

He couldn't help but chuckle, and couldn't help but be secretly discouraged in his heart. He took her maid away and handed it over to the emperor's personal guards, without interrogating her in the slightest. He also paid attention to the situation of her maid in private, but the emperor's personal guards have always been vicious and have nothing to do with him, so he is so hated by her.

He slowly turned back and continued his rounds in a gloomy mood.

Mu Yunqi returned to the Snow Dumping Palace, inspected Fan Yuxia's injuries, and ordered someone to decoct the medicine and let Lan Gu carefully feed her. She looked at the mottled scars on her body, distressed and guilty. After she finished taking the medicine and fell asleep, she left softly.

Now that Gardenia has been rescued, her injuries have not healed, and her plan to leave the palace has to be postponed.

She strolled thoughtfully along the road, Yingfu pointed to the garden beside her, and shouted happily: "Princess, plum blossoms are blooming." ”

Mu Yunqi looked up, and red flowers faintly appeared on the plum trees in the garden. The flowers seem to be shy, and they want to open and half-cover, and they are dotted with flowers, adding a little brightness in the snow-white sky.

She smiled and watched as the knot in her heart gradually dissipated.
