Xu Chu wanted to refuse, but he heard that there was no need to drink medicine, and the delay was short, and his body could get better as long as he did it twice. She immediately didn't hesitate anymore, and let Aunt Chu command someone to bring the bathtub in.

It was really a cold disease, although it was not fatal, but it was very uncomfortable, the mouth and nose were dry and painful, especially for her who wanted to investigate the case, she felt more and more affected. The so-called body is his own, no matter why Xiao Qinglang is so good to himself, or he is just looking for the shadow of others in himself, it cannot be a reason why he does not cherish himself.

"It's just a man, whether it's false or fake, true or false, in the final analysis, it's just supporting each other. In the future, he will still be his high-ranking prince, and he is just a little servant who wants to raise his father for the rest of his life. Before the medicated bath, she sighed and exhaled the hidden discomfort in her heart.

The pill barrel was originally covered with a lid, but now when it is opened, the heat faintly emerges and spreads in the air.

Originally, the spicy and unpleasant smell she thought did not appear, but there was a faint sweet smell in the medicinal fragrance, which smelled good.

Aunt Chu was surprised when she saw her, and said with a smile: "The prince is really attentive to the girl, and when he got up in the morning, he ordered people to buy the best medicinal materials with a lot of money, and specially transferred a Tianshan Snow Lotus from the palace to the girl for the purpose of dissipating cold and dampness, regulating menstruation and nourishing the body. ”

Xu Chu stroked his fingers on the surface of the water for a moment, and then his eyebrows did not move. Tianshan Snow Lotus, Tibetan called Chago Suba. Because it is a perennial herb, it is known as a rare exotic flower and herb, and it is naturally a world-famous medicinal material, and its preciousness and rarity do not need to be explained by others.

If it was before, maybe she would really have ripples in her heart, but after listening to Xiao Mingzhu's words, she could no longer indulge herself in vain and obscure feelings. The daughter of the servant, even if she is a lowly person, she is also a clean body. Even if you have unintentional palpitations, you should not be a substitute for someone who misses others.

Xiao Mingzhu, who didn't know that he had pulled the back leg of the third uncle, saw that Xu Chu was still undressed, so he hurriedly pretended to cover his eyes with his hands and said, "Sister Chu, you hurry up and soak, don't be shy." ”

Xu Chu came back to his senses, it was funny to see her jumping out, and shook his head to the side of the hanger to untie his clothes. It wasn't until she loosened the strap that was tightly wrapped around her chest that she stepped into the poke.

Xiao Mingzhu, who pretended to cover his eyes on the side, heard the sound of water, and couldn't help but show his fingers through a gap to look over, but saw Xu Chu with a sad look on his face in the mist.

"Sister Chu, I'll help you rub your back." Xiao Mingzhu's crisp voice sounded, and he walked up to the medicine barrel and asked.

Xu Chu is actually not used to exposing his body in front of people, let alone being served to take a bath. There is a Chu aunt who helps her with acupuncture, which is already the limit of her patience, and now there is another Xiao Mingzhu, she naturally twisted it, and only said with a calm and calm expression: "Mingzhu, my mouth is dry and uncomfortable from this potion bubble, why don't you go and pour me a glass of water?" ”

Xiao Mingzhu poked his head, but saw that there was a layer of medicinal herbs and petals on the surface of the water that he couldn't see what it was, and he couldn't see the inside clearly, so he couldn't help smacking his lips and said regretfully: "Okay." ”

She didn't have any habits, but when she lived with Xu Chu before, she found that Xu Chu was neatly wearing underwear when she slept. Even the change of clothes had to be covered with a futon, which made her very curious.

Now that she finally saw Xu Chu taking a bath, she still had to take a good look at what secrets her sister Chu had. If she is just flat, she can comfort her, but if she enters Beijing in the future, she will let the imperial doctor allocate some medicinal materials for Sister Chu.

But when she thought of being able to sleep with Sister Chu tonight, she was satisfied again and went to pour water happily.

Seeing away Xiao Mingzhu, who refused to be quiet for a moment, Xu Chucai was completely relieved, leaned on the bathtub and let Aunt Chu let her press acupuncture.

From the bottom of her heart, Xu Chu's figure can be regarded as concave and convex, but in the daytime, for the sake of convenience, she wraps her chest very tightly, so people can't see that she is very beautiful. Now after it is loosened, when it is naked, it is rare for a woman to be soft in the misty water.

Aunt Chu put down the last stitch, secretly thinking about the cold qi and corpse poison in her body, and her eyes unconsciously swept over her chest. The looming curves, the white chest and neck with water stains, she was just about to sigh when she was really good to be young, but her eyes were caught by a scar on Xu Chu's chest.

Almost subconsciously, she reached out directly to touch it.

Xu Chu suddenly came back to his senses, a pair of eyes that were slightly narrowed because of comfort opened in an instant, and his cold eyes looked at Aunt Chu vigilantly. She pursed her lips tightly, looked at it for a moment, knew that Aunt Chu shook her fingers, and then explained with an embarrassed smile: "Girl, don't blame, I just saw a scar on your chest, and I just wanted to see if it could be removed." ”

Hearing this explanation, Xu Chu naturally didn't believe it in her heart, she groped for the scar on her chest with her backhand, and said, "I'm tired of my aunt, and I'm used to it, so I don't need to get rid of it." ”

The scars on her body are not one, some are superficial and inconspicuous, they were injured by the bear children in the village when she was young. There are also times when investigating cases and being attacked and left behind. As for the chest piece, it was there when he crossed over, and it must have been left by the original body when he was very young.

Although she occupied the magpie's nest and now became Xu Chu, she didn't think about erasing the traces of the original body's existence. In her opinion, all the things left behind by the original body should be Xu Chengzuo's thoughts. It's like the clay figurines and gadgets in the original collection, or the scars on the chest and heart.

Because of this sudden change, neither of them spoke again. One is thinking carefully about the facts of the case, and the other is full of things and doesn't know how to speak.

After the medicinal bath, Aunt Chu sighed, restrained the strange expression she had just revealed, and explained: "Girl, don't blame me for being abrupt and inconsiderate in the morning, I was narrow-minded, and I have ulterior motives to be a girl." ”

It turns out that Xu Chu not only knows how to perform an autopsy, but also has a ability far beyond her imagination. In short, whether it was to ease the relationship between herself and the prince, or for what, at this time she had to take a step back and take the initiative to slow down her attitude.

Xu Chu tied his clothes with his back to her, and was noncommittal about this, and after a while, he raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Since the eldest mother said this to me honestly, then I should also say no to the eldest mother." When I got up early for the autopsy, I did deliberately disgust my aunt with the rotten organs of the corpse......"

In fact, it was really necessary to let her do it at that time, but later Xu Chu found that there was no trace of violent destruction of the internal organs of the corpse, so there was no need to dissect them one by one and preserve them. She passed through Aunt Chu's hand, and there was no reason for her anger.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and neither of them was a scheming person. What's more, at this time, each other is willing to give each other a step, and the two naturally don't say much.

When Aunt Chu packed up her things and went out, Xiao Mingzhu was coming back with a pot of hot water. In addition to the two rough mothers-in-law in the courtyard, they did not let go of people to serve, except for Zhang Youwei, there were few people in the house to serve, mainly because of Xiao Qinglang. So after finding out that there was cold water in the teapot in the house, she put on a cotton dress and went to the kitchen, so that it was too late to come back.

The wind and snow outside had stopped, and the house that had been decorated by Zhang Youwei's family was safe, and the lanterns were gradually extinguished due to the lack of lamp oil.

Xu was very tired, or maybe it was because of the soothing herbs in the medicinal bath before, although there were occasional dreams this night, it did not prevent Xu Chu from sleeping until dawn.

A hurried knock on the door sounded, startling Xu Chu to sit up suddenly, looking dazed for a moment. Squinted at the door, but saw that the door frame and window edges were already dyed with a layer of morning light. As soon as she was about to get up, she felt a sinking in her waist and abdomen, and when she looked down, she saw Xiao Mingzhu restlessly resting one leg on her.

She sighed helplessly, carefully pulled Xiao Mingzhu aside, then put on her clothes and folded her clothes, and simply combed her messy hair. There is nothing on his head except the wooden hairpin he wore at the beginning, and it looks fresh and clean.

Without further delay, she stepped forward and opened the door.

Xiao Qinglang's expression was grim, and when he saw that she had cleaned up, his face was slightly better. And behind him, there was Zhang Youwei with an anxious and tired face.

"My lord, what's wrong?" At this time, when the morning had just arrived, the sky had only been bright for a while, and they must not have come to urge them to go to the Zhuangzi to check.

Xiao Qinglang saw that she closed the door, and had no intention of going back to the house to put on a fox fur, so he couldn't help frowning and disagreeing: "You haven't been well in the cold, you shouldn't have come out wearing such a thin out." ”

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyebrows and responded obediently, and then obediently went back to the house to get the fox fur. When Xiao Qinglang stretched out his hand and planned to tie the strap for her, she dodged it lightly, and then a pair of hands that were good at holding a post-mortem knife tied the fox fur flexibly.

Xiao Qinglang's eyes froze, and he withdrew his hand, as if he hadn't made any movement just now. It's just that when he looked at Xu Chu's gaze again, he was a little puzzled and surprised.

He originally thought that his relationship with Xu Chu would only go further after the words in the carriage yesterday. But he didn't want to, today she had such resistance, for a moment, he couldn't help but reflect on whether he was too eager.

Not to mention how awkward the two of them were, Zhang Youwei quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Chu appear, and he said with an ugly face: "Miss Chu, something happened to the Liu family." ”

The twisting and complicated emotions in Xu Chu's heart just now dissipated instantly, and he asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"Zhu'er died, and the body was dumped outside Liu's house, along with a letter of extortion." Zhang Youwei said, "Liu Wengui found the yamen early in the morning and made a fuss, and now only Liu Qingyun, the young master of the Liu family who has just returned, is waiting for the yamen to give an explanation." ”
