Chapter 221: Emotional Business (2)

She wanted to open her mouth to say something more, but suddenly a cold wind blew, which directly made her sneeze two more times, so that the tears in her eyes were directly choked.

Xiao Qinglang frowned slightly, turned around and walked over, and only when he walked to Xu Chu's side did he lift the hat on her fox fur and put it on, and by the way, he instructed Wei Guangdao: "Let Aunt Chu come over." ”

At this time, Xu Chu's face was flushed with an abnormal flush, and with a little tears, Xiao Qinglang couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart. However, what he was most worried about was still the corpse poison that Aunt Chu said.

He was born in a place where he was in charge of the affairs of the prison, so he naturally knew how domineering the so-called corpse poison was. Although Xu Chu is not serious now, if he encounters a difficult wind and cold disease, it will inevitably make people worry.

Although Aunt Chu is usually a little out of tune, she has made great achievements in treating diseases such as corpse poison and trauma. Many of the inspectors in the Three Law Divisions have received her favors.

The pure white fox fur reflected Xu Chu's reddened but languishing face, making her appear weaker and weaker. Even if it was just under the lantern candlelight, Xiao Qinglang could clearly see the bright colors on the delicate skin like the peach blossoms that unfolded in March. Even if this ruddy was not normal, it could not resist the burning heat that fell on his eyes.

So Xiao Qinglang, who has always been calm and self-controlled, rarely groped the fox fur collar repeatedly, as if the ears and temples were grinding between lovers.

Xu Chu raised her head against the light, the tears in her eyes blurred her vision a little, but it did not prevent her from seeing the cold silhouette that was close at hand. Xu Chu inexplicably felt a wave of anxiety and hope in his heart, and his breathing stagnated unconsciously, not knowing what to do.

Just as she pursed her lips and hesitated how to speak, she saw Zhang Youwei bring two officials with books in their hands to catch the head next to her. When the head catcher saw a few people, he smiled and said, "Son, girl, you haven't stopped yet." This is the account book that the adult asked him to retrieve from the Liu family, I wonder if it can be sent to the child's room now? ”

In fact, the relationship between the two is well known to the two of them. Wei Guang has long been used to it, and Xiao Mingzhu just thinks that his sister Chu is so good that she should take good care of it, and at the same time, she is a little annoyed that she didn't take a step forward with the third uncle, and Sister Chu blew a cold wind. Of course, the thoughts of the two of them were not within the expected range of Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu.

Now that there is a visit from the head catcher and the official, the strange ambiguity and charm between the visitors dissipate in an instant.

Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief almost inaudibly, and hurriedly bent his legs at Xiao Qinglang, and said, "Childe, I'll take Mingzhu to rest first." ”

To be honest, she was already uncomfortable today, and she forced herself to go to Liu's house to investigate, and later she was analyzing the case, and she was already a little tired at this time. It's just that she was so frightened by Xiao Qinglang, and the chaos and sleepiness in her mind disappeared directly, replaced by shyness and messy nonsense that she couldn't even figure out.

Back in the room, Xu Chu took off the fox fur, and then wiped his face with cold water in the basin. Xu was because the cold air hit her hot cheeks, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, and then said to herself: "If it continues like this, what will happen in the future?" ”

The boundaries in her mind are now a little blurred. Once, even if the two had unconscious contact, she would warn herself, and then follow Xiao Qinglang in order to find her father's whereabouts and to investigate the case. But now, she doesn't even seem to be able to deceive herself.

Even though she is slow to deal with emotional matters, she can clearly feel that Xiao Qinglang's concern and love have long exceeded the boundaries of ordinary subordinates. And he is just deceiving himself and pretending to be deaf and dumb.

She was slightly stunned, and she didn't know what she was thinking for a moment.

"Sister Chu?" Xiao Mingzhu undressed and turned over twice on the bed in a loose undershirt. She happily whispered, but she didn't hear her sister Chu's response, so she got up suspiciously and looked over. Seeing Sister Chu's entangled expression, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Sister Chu, what's wrong with you?" But it's uncomfortable again? ”

She is not very good at taking care of people, but she also knows that since she is sick, she has to take medicine. I thought of the third uncle mentioning the female doctor in the house, Aunt Chu, so he said: "Sister Chu, you wait, I'll go to find Aunt Chu to boil medicine for you." ”

As she spoke, she put on her coat again and hurried out.

Seeing this, Xu Chu hurriedly grabbed her, and whispered coaxing: "You, why are you so impatient all the time. I've drunk the decoction twice today, and the bitterness is very uncomfortable, so you should spare your sister Chu. ”

To tell the truth, Aunt Chu's medicine didn't work, she didn't feel it, the only feeling was bitterness...... Even if the tongue and nose can't ask because of the wind and cold, when you drink the decoction, you will become sensitive again.

Xiao Mingzhu sneered, crossed his waist and said, "Sister Chu, it turns out that you are actually afraid of drinking medicine." ”

She also thought that Sister Chu, who would conduct an autopsy, was not afraid.

"I'm naturally afraid, not only afraid of drinking medicine, but also afraid of your third uncle's cold face." Xu Chu muttered, and easily wrung out the water-soaked cloth towel in the basin and put it away.

"Hey, why are you afraid of the third uncle, I am jealous of the third uncle's kindness to you. I have never seen him so concerned about the entire Sanfa Division and anyone in the capital, if I have to say that there is, that is, the third uncle found the only daughter of a prosecutor's family before. Xiao Mingzhu saw that Xu Chu had done it at the table, and hurried over, holding his face with both hands and saying, "That was a few years ago, when there was a boy in the academy who fell into the water and died, she happened to be in the women's academy next door, and she looked at the corpse before the people from Jingzhao Mansion went. It doesn't matter if you look at it, you can directly conclude that the deceased was killed by him, and I don't know the reason. ”

Later, when the third uncle heard about it, he went to the academy to inquire in person, and later appreciated the woman very much. even invited several times to investigate the case, and at that time, the woman could enter and leave the palace by herself, and even the third uncle's study. You know, if my niece wants to enter the third uncle's study, she has to explain it to him first. As she spoke, Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help complaining, but she wasn't jealous, she just complained a few words and continued to talk to Xu Chu, who listened seriously, "Let me tell you, at that time, there was no one in the entire capital who didn't grit their teeth, even my father and uncle were shocked, and even the father status of the woman was a lot higher." ”

"It's a pity that the woman angered the third uncle for something later, and the third uncle never let her enter the palace again." Thinking that the third uncle had been closed for several days and had not seen guests, she sighed, "I don't know what the third uncle thinks, because that woman really didn't care about the affairs of the three law divisions for several days, which made the imperial uncle and his father also frown." ”

"And later?" The warmth in Xu Chu's heart gradually cooled as the cold tea in his hand poured into his stomach, as if the woman who had been shy by Xiao Qinglang's side before was not her.

She glanced at Xiao Mingzhu indifferently and asked, "If that woman really has good autopsy skills, it's a pity to be buried." ”

"Then I don't know, anyway, after the third uncle fell out with the woman, he had a serious illness. Later, I heard that the woman had promised her family to leave the capital, and at that time, the third uncle dragged the sick body and asked people to prepare generous gifts to send them. Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help but be speechless when he thought of the third uncle who was arguing with the imperial uncle in the imperial study at that time. She has grown so big, and it is the first time she has seen the third uncle move so much.

At that time, she was not very sensible, so she just listened to the peacock always chattering about what she was angry about.

Later, whether it was in the Jing'an palace or the palace, no one dared to mention the woman's name. Not to mention, ask the third uncle what happened at that time.

Regardless of everyone's speculation in their hearts, it was probably the third uncle, who had always been pure-hearted and had little desire, and he had a good impression of the woman, but he was rejected and hurt by love. Since then, no matter whether it is the imperial grandmother or the imperial uncle, no one dares to urge the third uncle to get married.

Xiao Mingzhu saw that Xu Chu was listening seriously, and couldn't help but continue to talk about the rare things that happened in the capital. There are palaces and markets, which is enough to see that she is not like the daughters of other big families who are in the mansion to paint red and learn the piano.

One spoke elatedly, the other smiling absent-mindedly, until the door was knocked again.

"Miss Chu, Childe asked me to bring you medicine." Outside the door, Aunt Chu opened her mouth with some shame, since she followed Xu Chu to examine the carrion, she felt that she really underestimated this person.

has such exquisite autopsy techniques that make her a person who has been acting for decades ashamed, even if she really wants to cling to the wealth of the palace, I am afraid that the prince will not refuse. What's more, she also understood a little today, between the prince and Xu Chu, it seems that now it is just the prince shaving his head and picking his head.

Xu Chu took another sip of cold water, got up and opened the door. Originally, she only thought that Aunt Chu was the one who delivered the medicine, but she didn't want to open the door, and saw that Aunt Chu was followed by two strong mothers-in-law carrying the bath bucket.

She had seen these two mothers-in-law before, and they should be the subordinates sent by Zhang Youwei to clean the courtyard. Now such a battle really surprised her.

Although modern people have the habit of bathing, even if the brazier is burning in the house on this cold day, it is difficult to resist the cold. What's more, she is still unwell, if she is forced to bathe, I am afraid that if she is uncomfortable, her condition will worsen.

Thinking of this, she looked at Aunt Chu suspiciously, as a doctor, it was impossible for Aunt Chu not to know the truth.

Aunt Chu smiled and said, "Gongzi said that the girl's body is thin and she is afraid of drinking medicine, so I thought of using a medicinal bath to eliminate the cold poison and sickness in the girl's body. I started boiling this medicine in the afternoon, and according to my previous experience, as long as I soaked it twice, the girl would be cured without taking the decoction again. ”
