Chapter 40: Talking in the Night
Caught off guard, Xiao Yuexi was stirred by him again.
How can a person make such an earth-shattering confession so commonplace? As if that's how it should be, it's weird that you're impressed.
Mu Yun smiled after finishing speaking, put down the red pen and moved his wrist, and added with some apologies: "Oops! I really can't take it today, don't be surprised, madam. ”
Xiao Yuexi: "......"
She felt more and more that Mu Yun called her Mrs. lightly, not only referring to her position, but also when there were no outsiders, he seemed to be working very hard to maintain the mode of getting along with ordinary couples in the people, even more natural and intimate than many ordinary people.
The disgusting bitter taste in his mouth disappeared without a trace, and Xiao Yuexi looked at him through the gauze tent in a daze for a while, not even noticing Mu Lan's strange expression.
Mu Lan was rolling a pair of big smart eyes, her eyes were turning back and forth on her wife and His Majesty the Emperor, and her eyebrows fluttered without even retracting, anyway, the two lords would not look at her. Mu Lan unconsciously held the empty medicine bowl to his chest, and the smirk on his face was simply miserable.
She couldn't help but dare to laugh, her whole body was straining, and she shook unconsciously, which finally alarmed Xiao Yuexi, turned her eyes suspiciously, and asked silently with her eyes: What's wrong with you?
Before Mu Lan couldn't control herself, she hurriedly dropped the sentence: "I, I'll go to the small kitchen to see if there are any snacks!" He ran away with the medicine bowl, leaving Xiao Yuexi behind, looking at her back with hatred.
After a while, Xiao Yuexi said with remorse: "This girl is so unruly, can she marry in the future?" ”
Mu Yun raised his eyebrows lightly, and through the gauze tent, Xiao Yuexi could clearly see his eyes that seemed to be smiling, as if to say: Are you embarrassed to say that others are unruly?
Xiao Yuexi instinctively felt a little weak, and decisively skipped the topic: "I'm a little sleepy after taking this medicine, I'll sleep for a while." ”
"Hmm." Mu Yun lightly and seriously fell his gaze back to the fold that seemed to be unable to be approved no matter how much he criticized, and ordered Mu Kom to withdraw too, not allowing anyone to disturb him. Suddenly, there was silence in the empty dormitory, and Mu Yunqing's movements were very light, and even his breathing was so slow that he couldn't hear it.
Xiao Yuexi is really sleepy, among the ingredients of that bowl of medicine, she can vaguely distinguish a few common medicinal materials that calm her nerves and strengthen her heart, no matter how much Xiao Yuexi can't smell it, she only knows that after a bowl of medicine, she can sleep day and night.
She did so, and when she woke up again, she couldn't tell what day it was, and it took a while to react, it was already the middle of the night, and she was woken up by a hungry stomach.
Next to him was His Majesty the Emperor, who was only walking on the side, his eyes were closed and his breathing was shallow, as if he was asleep. Without waiting for Xiao Yuexi to take two more looks, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to notice something, opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Xiao Yuexi vigilantly and accurately, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately restrained all the coldness and fierceness in his eyes.
"Awake?" Mu Yun slowly propped himself up and sat up, and said loudly, "Someone!" Go get the porridge simmering in the kitchen! ”
Someone outside the door walked away, and Mu Yunqing returned his gaze to Xiao Yuexi: "Hungry, right?" Well, but you can really sleep! It's ugly. Could it be that Li Ran prescribed you not a body tonic but a sweat medicine? ”
Speaking of Li Ran, Xiao Yuexi instantly remembered his doubts about him, and hurriedly asked, "What is the origin of that Imperial Doctor Li?" Is it reliable? ”
Mu Yun smiled lightly, with a little urgency in his eyes, and a faint little expectation, he asked in a calm voice and very bewilderingly, "What?" Is Madame concerned about me? ”
Xiao Yuexi's scalp was numb, and she moved back, instinctively staying away from him. Only then did he say: "Seriously, you don't come!" "I'm scared of you, can't I?!
Mu Yunqing was finally willing to put away the fetters in his eyes, returned to normal, and said calmly: "His real name is not known, but his medical skills are amazing, and his personal relationship with me is not bad." Otherwise, he wouldn't have been admitted to the Tai Hospital within one day because of his words.
Xiao Yuexi obviously wouldn't give up on his brief answer to save trouble, and was about to ask, when a cardamom's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, madam, the slave maid brought the porridge over." ”
"Come in!"
There are minced meat and diced cucumbers in the porridge, and you can smell the fragrance from a long distance, and after simmering for an unknown amount of time, it is thick and rotten, and it is full of fresh fragrance in the mouth. Xiao Yuexi raised her eyebrows in a slightly surprised way, her index finger moved, and she drank a whole bowl in one go.
Mu Yun took the bowl in her hand and handed it to Mu Kom, waved her hand to let her step back, and then said softly: "Don't eat too much at night, if you like it, will you eat it again for breakfast?" While coaxing, she naturally picked up the handkerchief and wanted to wipe the corners of her mouth for her.
Xiao Yuexi hurriedly snatched the handkerchief down, wiped the corners of her mouth and lifted the quilt to lie on the innermost side, turned her back to Mu Yunqing and said hastily: "Inner ...... Hurry up and rest for a while, and then get up and move your muscles. ”
Mu Yun shrugged as if he didn't care, "I've slept enough." Don't pretend, you've slept so long during the day, and you've just filled your stomach, where is it so easy to fall asleep? ”
Xiao Yuexi didn't want to pay attention to him, but when she heard his sudden calm voice, she said very melancholy: "Binzhou over there...... The specific root cause of the epidemic has not yet been found, and news came this afternoon that two of the five imperial doctors who accompanied him had fallen ill......"
Xiao Yuexi suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at Mu Yunqing. This powerless frustration made him pale, and in just a few days, it was obvious that he had lost a lot of weight, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken because of the all-night work of dealing with government affairs, and the bottom of his eyes was blue, adding a bit of depth.
Even Xiao Yuexi, who is a behind-the-scenes bystander, is worried about the epidemic in Binzhou and other places, let alone the king of a country in full view?
Today's various signs show that there must be an inside story about the epidemic, but there is no clue who stirred up this troubled water behind the scenes. What happened to Mu Yunqing, Xiao Yuexi didn't know, she only knew that from her place, let alone clues, there was no general direction.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuexi couldn't help asking, "Do you have a count in your heart?" Putting aside the matter of the Department of Supervision for the time being, who is behind the manipulation, there must always be an object of suspicion, right? ”
Mu Yun's eyes flashed lightly, and he didn't say anything.
As soon as these were mentioned, Xiao Yuexi's mind couldn't stop, running frantically trying to come up with more possibilities. From the time the epidemic was discovered, in just a few days, the deaths and injuries were not counted. Just talking about the loss of the imperial court, it is very serious.
Xiao Yuexi unconsciously twisted the soft fabric of the cuffs, and muttered in her mouth: "Money and food are trivial. Not long after the new director of the Department of Supervision and Justice, the envoy said that he had disappeared and there was no news of him at all, and then he almost folded into the entire Department of Supervision and State. The gang outside the palace who seemed to be coming to me was also very strange, the same is an assassination, isn't assassinating the emperor more famous than assassinating a lady? ”
Mu Yun raised her eyebrows lightly, and did not say a word about her "rebellious" remarks, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up, as if she was amused by this remark, and her eyes were full of helpless and spoiled complex emotions.
Xiao Yuexi was unconscious, and still said in pieces: "King Kang is completely dead, who is so unkind to me, and can do it so simply?" Yun Qing, does the Queen Mother seem to be a person with these two moments? "She has only offended the Queen Mother a little more recently, and others ...... It's not her turn to offend! She's good enough to keep to herself!
Mu Yun analyzed calmly: "It's not like, a deep palace woman, no matter how capable she is, she is just a deep palace woman, raising such a group of mysterious dead soldiers, you need to avoid too many pairs of eyes, and the queen mother obviously doesn't have that condition." ”
Yes, even if the Queen Mother tries to be quiet, there are always a bunch of palace people around her, and she doesn't have the time to go south and north to dig up those good seedlings who have nothing to worry about!
Xiao Yuexi frowned and pondered: "Hmm...... So who else would there be? ”
An unintentional question, but it was asked in Mu Yunqing's heart, and he also wanted to know who was attacking Xiao Yuexi so frequently, even if he was by his side, those people would not let go of the slightest opportunity...... He suddenly regretted agreeing to Xiao Yuexi to go to Binzhou, at this juncture, she was undoubtedly a little sheep who had fallen into someone's trap in the past, just waiting for this person to close the net!
Xiao Yuexi inadvertently had a heartache with His Majesty the Emperor, thought of the same place, and exclaimed: "Yun Qing, did you say that the people behind the epidemic are coming at me?" First of all, they suppressed the Department of Supervision and Supervision, so that you have no one to use, and the only choice is to appoint me to assist in the investigation, once I pass, they must have some tricks waiting to greet me......"
The words were all brought up, and His Majesty the Emperor had to cheekily try what is called "untrustworthy words", what is called "Jun has jokes": "Speaking of which, Yuexi, I think you ......"
Xiao Yuexi guessed what he was going to say, and didn't want to hear what he said, so he interrupted directly: "I know what you're going to say, but you also said it, in official business, no one knows Ling Zhengzhi better than me, if you don't let me try to find someone, who can I send out?" ”
"I ......"
"There is only one Ye Wanxiao left in the Supervision Department now, and he is difficult to count as a manager, and spit out a bunch of testimonies that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the credibility is extremely low, did you send him? Let's not talk about whether he can be trusted, I still know how capable he is, and to be honest, I was surprised to learn that it was him who ran back, because at least he didn't show enough strength to support him to do this! ”
Xiao Yuexi's eyes are focused and firm, she has never been used to it, and she is not good at hiding behind anyone, she will only rush forward without hesitation, she will not compromise with anyone, and the things she decides will not change.
