This is already the second winter day of the mandarin duck in the palace, when I opened my eyes in the morning, it was already a white expanse outside, and I listened to the room next to me, there was no sound for a long time, as usual, Xia Yuan and Wen Yu still did not find Xia Ling.

In the past half a year, Mandarin Duck has indeed stayed quietly in the palace as Chu Huai said, and has never gone out, but she doesn't quite understand when he wants her to wait.

Living in this cubicle day after day, there are no books, no pen and ink, and the mandarin duck can't do anything except lie down.

"Well, when will Master come to me?"

"Why do you miss me so quickly?" Suddenly, a voice came in from outside the window.

The startled mandarin duck sat up directly from the bed, turned his head to look out the window, and saw Chu Huai lying on the window frame with a smile, and waved at her: "Long time no see, are you okay?" ”

"Master! How did you get here? ”

"Didn't you miss me anymore, so I'll come?"

"I just sighed casually......"

"Oh, I see." Chu Huai put on a sad face, "That's really a pity, I originally planned to take you to Huaihua Valley to see the little buns." ”

"Now?"

"Yes, Xiaozhi has prepared all the carriages, since you don't want to go, then I'll go alone." As he spoke, Chu Huai's face disappeared from the mandarin duck's sight.

"Huh! Wait, Master, I'm going! Take me with you! The mandarin duck hurriedly got off the bed, ran to the window, and looked out, there was only a white expanse in the open space outside, where was Chu Huai's figure, "Master?" Where have you been? ”

Just when she was defenseless, an upside-down face appeared in front of her eyes, and it was Chu Huai hanging from the roof, "What? ”

The mandarin duck was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and almost hit the bed, "Master, why did you run to the roof again?" ”

"Didn't I just get ready to leave when I heard you call me, so I'm back again." Chu Huai jumped off the roof, his face calm.

"Master, take me to Huaihua Valley too, it's really a bit boring to stay in the palace every day, and Xiao Yuan goes out early and returns late every day, so I don't even have a chance to see him."

"But you have to think about it, after you follow me back this time, there will be a long time before you can return to the palace, are you willing?"

"Huh? Master, what do you mean is that you can already leave the Imperial City? ”

"It's natural, otherwise what would I do with you?"

"That's great, when I think that there will be no more Ah Lan in front of my eyes, it's just such a short period of separation, why not give up? Besides, even if I'm in the palace now, I can't see him, so what's the difference between being in the palace and not being in the palace? ”

After speaking, the mandarin duck quickly took out a fox fur from the wardrobe and put it on for herself, and after pulling it tightly, she hurriedly rolled out of the window and walked to Chu Huai to stand still, "Master, don't wait any longer, let's go quickly!" ”

Chu Huai laughed for a while, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"It's not about worrying about being discovered by someone else in the palace."

"You may not know that there are not many people guarding the palace now, and most of them have been sent by the emperor to look for small buns in various places. If I were an enemy, I would definitely pick this kind of time to attack the Xia Dynasty. ”

"I didn't expect you, Master, to observe the entire palace so thoroughly?"

Chu Huai looked at the sky and touched the back of his head, "It's not because your room is not easy to find." ”

It's just a short time to visit the entire palace......

"I see, that's really hard for you."

While talking, the two of them had already come to the small corner of the wall where the mandarin ducks most often climbed over the wall and went out of the palace.

Chu Huai looked at the mandarin duck so skillfully in surprise, and not only sighed: "I can't see it, I didn't expect you to be so skilled in circumventing the wall from a girl's family?" ”

"I'm used to it, when I was young, when I couldn't stay in the palace, I would often go out from here over the wall." The mandarin duck patted the wall ash stuck to his body, "Where is the little branch of Master?" ”

"I asked Xiaozhi to wait in another alley, this is still the palace after all, I am afraid that such a big carriage is too eye-catching." Although he said that he was worried that it would be too eye-catching, he still made a still eye-catching action - jumped directly on the wall, and even stayed on it for a while before landing steadily.

"Master, I always think that you are still a little too arrogant."

Chu Huai was a little confused when the mandarin duck suddenly said this, "Why do you suddenly want to say this about me?" Am I not low-key enough? How many of these people in the world know about me? ”

"Oh, I'm not talking about your arrogance, I'm saying that sometimes you act like no one else."

"Why am I still blind to nobody?" Chu Huai was even more unclear by the mandarin duck. What happened to me all of a sudden? Why do you say that about me?

"Forget it, I told you that you won't understand, so let's leave it at that."

"Mandarin duck, did you break your brain when you climbed over the wall just now? How can you say it so headlessly? Chu Huai felt that the only thing that could convince him now was that the mandarin duck suddenly broke his brain, and he would say such strange words.

"Lord Chu Gu! Miss! You're finally here! It's a cold day, and I'm almost going to freeze into ice here. Twig rubbed his hands, his mouth was still hot and hot, and some snowflakes were already piled up on his shoulders.

Chu Huai walked over and patted the snowflakes off Xiaozhi's shoulder, took the lead in the carriage, and waved his hand at the mandarin duck, "You can come up quickly, we should go." ”

"Okay." The mandarin duck walked briskly to the carriage, and Chu Huai had already lifted the curtain for her, just waiting for her to come in.

The carriage was slowly driven, the horses' hooves left one mark after another on the snow, walking through the streets of the imperial city, from time to time you can still see one or two royal guards walking by the side of the carriage, looking like they should still be looking for the little prince.

The mandarin duck looked at them, and for some reason there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, was he happy or sad for them? She couldn't say it, for a while it seemed that all kinds of emotions were intertwined, she looked down at her palm, there was something, she couldn't grasp it.

"Master, are you still the emperor's imperial physician?"

"I've stepped down a long time ago, otherwise why would I still be sitting here?"

"That's what I said......"

......

When Chu Huai was called into the palace by the emperor at that time, he was really a little uneasy, could it be that he knew that he was about to tell him that he was going to leave the imperial city?

And it was in one night.

Although he knew that the emperor would call him into the palace at night because during the day, in order to find the little prince, he was too busy to take care of himself, let alone call himself into the palace, and he couldn't even see the emperor's figure in the palace.

Even so, he obediently entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?" The candles in the imperial study were still on, and the emperor's swaying shadow was reflected on the bookshelf, looking so focused and serious.

"Young Master Chu, you're here." Xia Yuan put down the pen in his hand, closed the fold, turned around and looked at Chu Huai with a smile, "I called you to come, just to let you take a look at Ah Yan's body, after so many days of continuous work, I am worried that her body will not be unbearable." ”

"I see, then I'll go to the palace to see the queen mother now."

"Well, please." After Xia Yuan finished speaking, he set his eyes on the next book and no longer paid attention to Chu Huai.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Huai lowered his head and walked out of the imperial study slowly.

The palace at night is indeed much quieter than usual, from the imperial study to the dormitory, you have to walk through many dark paths, even if there is light in the daytime, you may not be able to quickly find Chu Huai in the dormitory, let alone at night, because since there is not even a little light, what is even more excessive is that he has walked for so long without seeing any palace maids or eunuchs who can be used to ask for directions.

So when he finally saw the light after going around and around, he was almost certain that the source of the light was in the dormitory.

Wen Mu was leaning on the head of the bed and looking at a book, but it seemed that she was not paying attention to the book, but the page of the book was not actually turned over.

"The Queen?" Chu Huai knocked on the door of the dormitory, trying to get Wen Mu's attention.

It's just that Wen Mu really didn't notice him.

He had to knock on the door again, "Queen Mother! ”

"Ah, Master Chu? How did you get here. Wen Mu was finally pulled back to his thoughts by Chu Huai's voice, hurriedly closed the book, and walked off the bed.

"It was the emperor who called me to show you your body, and he was worried that your body would not be able to bear it."

"The emperor is always like this, worrying blindly. It's clear that my body doesn't feel any discomfort anymore, and for some reason, since I drank the medicine you gave me before, I even feel that my body is much better than before. With that, Wen Mu took Chu Huai and sat down, stretched out his hand and put it in front of him.

Chu Huai also took advantage of the situation to catch her pulse. Feeling her steady and rhythmic pulse, Chu Huai smiled with relief, "It seems that the queen's body is recovering well, and the emperor can be relieved." ”

"I'll just say, Your Majesty, I'm just worrying too much, my own body is too clear." Wen Mu also smiled and pulled down his sleeves and sent Chu Huai to the door of the dormitory.

"Then I'll go to the emperor first to get back to my life, even if I'm in good health, the queen mother, you have to rest early." The moment the door of the dormitory closed, Chu Huai looked towards the hidden small door, the mandarin duck should live after that, right?

"Got it, Young Master Chu, can you help me persuade the emperor to let him rest early, don't stay up until midnight, it's not good for his body, if it's you, he should listen."

"Naturally. Please also rest assured that the queen mother. ”
