Xiao Qinglang never thought that as soon as he looked up, he would see a face that was so bright that it was flying wantonly. Today's Xu Chu has no costumes, he is still plain brocade clothes, and his face is not powdery, but he has never seen that freshness.

He even felt as if it was the first time he had seen her laugh so indulgently. Since she came to her side, she has often been running around in autopsies and cases, which are deeply involved, and involve Xu Yanzuo's disappearance, so even if she occasionally jokes and is happy, it is difficult to have such a happy time.

Even in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere is warm and everyone is happy, and he can still detect the loneliness and melancholy under her smile.

However, today, such a brilliant and dazzling smile is like the warm sun in March, not scorching but making people love it in their bones.

Xiao Qinglang pursed his lips and looked at her intently, although a pair of deep eyes seemed calm, they were full of emotions. Inexplicably, he remembered her grievances but with the smell of wine when she was drunk on Chinese New Year's Eve. I didn't realize it at the time, but in retrospect, those eyes were really beautiful.

He seemed to have an indifferent face, but in fact, he leaned on the carriage and looked at the smile, as if the trivial things around him were gradually fading. Only the warmth of the heart swelled up, which made the limbs and bones relax.

This feeling is a little strange to him, but he does not reject it, just like recognizing his feelings for Xu Chu.

Xu Chu, who was riding a horse, looked up and saw the eyes in the car looking over with a smile. She was stunned for a moment, a little uncomfortably reined in the excitement just now, and then silently looked away. It's just that the pounding heartbeat of her heart made her eyes flicker and tremble.

Xu was riding a horse for the first time, and he was not very skilled, but after half an hour, Xu Chu felt some pain in his inner thigh. She pursed her lips, called Xiao Mingzhu over softly, and said, "Mingzhu, I'm a little unwell, so I won't ride with you." ”

Xiao Mingzhu also knew that Xu Chu had a wind chill a few days ago, which was just right. In addition, she looked at Xu Chu's face a little pale, as if she was very tired, and immediately asked with concern: "Sister Chu, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, but I'm not very good at riding horses, so the root of my leg is sore." Xu Chu replied with a smile.

Xiao Mingzhu is naturally clear about this, when she first learned to ride and shoot, she also suffered such a rubbing. After thinking about it, she asked again: "Then I'll ask the third uncle to stop, and you will have a car with the third uncle?" ”

"No, Gongzi Xu has something to do and shouldn't be disturbed, wait for me to ride in the same carriage with Aunt Chu." Xu Chu naturally knew that Xiao Mingzhu's proposal was for her good, after all, of the two carriages in the same company, only Xiao Qinglang's was the most comfortable, and it was not bumpy, and it was specially transformed. And the carriage that Aunt Chu was riding in not only had to endure a cart of strange-tasting medicinal herbs, but also suffered from bumps and crowding, which was really not a good place to rest.

However, she did not seem to be in the same car with Xiao Qinglang at this time, one was the embarrassment that she didn't know what happened until the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the other was that every time she approached Xiao Qinglang, her heart became disordered.

Admire him, and he can bear it. Even initially, I really almost took that step. But Xiao Mingzhu's words reminded her that he had a past, Xu was still a sweetheart, and she didn't want to be the one who helped him get out of the confusion of a relationship.

This is not an unreasonable emotional cleanliness habit, but in the era of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she really has no energy and is unwilling to experience those love things full of twists and turns.

Or it can be said that maybe her hazy affection and liking for Xiao Qinglang is not enough for her to fight for love.

Since this is the case, she naturally has to restrain herself before falling. Even if we can't completely uproot people from our hearts for a while, we must never let our hearts spread.

Xiao Mingzhu was very concerned about Xu Chu's affairs, and seeing that she insisted on going her own way to go with Aunt Chu, she simply rode directly to the side of a carriage behind and asked the coachman to stop for a while. She was not an arrogant county lord, and she was talking to the guards around Xiao Qinglang, so naturally she would not be arrogant, so the guards who pretended to be the coachman stopped the car without embarrassment.

As Xu Chu dismounted, the carriage that had been moving slowly in front of him also slowly stopped. Xiao Qinglang looked sideways, but saw that Xu Chugang was about to cross his carriage and go backwards. He frowned slightly, and subconsciously stopped her and said, "Xiao Chu? ”

Xu Chu's movements were slow, and it was too late to pretend that she couldn't hear, she sighed, turned around and said, "Childe." ”

"Why don't you get on the bus?" Xiao Qinglang frowned, as if he was a little puzzled.

Xu Chu took a deep breath, and he didn't know if he really didn't know, or if he pretended to be so. Not to mention the embarrassment between the two, it is the file that Wei Guang sent into the carriage, I am afraid that it is better to avoid outsiders. But think about it, in front of outsiders, she can't really be "pampered and arrogant". So, Xu Chu lowered his eyebrows and looked at the wheel, and replied in a somewhat depressed tone: "I just rode a horse, it seems that I have broken some flesh and skin, I will go to Aunt Chu to find some ointment at this time." ”

When Xiao Qinglang heard this, his eyes fell on her waist, and then his face was hot, and he reluctantly looked away and said lightly: "Is there any left of the ointment that was given to you last time?" If you have one, you can ask Aunt Chu to help you use some. That ointment can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and can also build muscle and reduce swelling......"

Xu Chu was silent for a moment, nodded and thanked softly, and then climbed into his carriage and took out a small package from him seemingly calmly. Although they came all the way from Yunzhou to Jinzhou City, most of the clothes were prepared by Xiao Qinglang. But for Xu Chu, not to mention the rewards for solving the case everywhere, even the objects that his daughter's family needs to use, they have to add some from time to time. So, gradually, her belongings changed from just a toolbox to an extra little baggage.

"Come over when you get the medicine, you and I still need to discuss the matter of entering Jinzhou City." Xiao Qinglang saw her head down, as if she was still controlling her breathing, as if she was deliberately trying to avoid herself. So the clear man looked at her lowered face, and did not hesitate to raise his voice to command the moment she jumped out of the carriage.

Xu Chu glanced at him quietly, and saw that his eyebrows were solemn, his expression was grim, and his heart was probably thinking too much. So, he nodded his head as if hypnotized, and then trotted over to Aunt Chu's car.

She ran so fast that she was involved in the wound at the base of her leg, so she broke out in a lot of cold sweat from the pain on her face. That is, Su Rili was used to forbearance, so he never bared his teeth and grinned, otherwise I am afraid that he would not be pale lips and weak legs and feet at this time.

When Aunt Chu heard the voice and opened her clothes, she saw Xu Chu's stunned appearance, and she was immediately startled.

"What's going on?" She asked, reaching out to help the man into the carriage with the strength of the guard.

"It was so much fun riding that the base of my leg was worn out." She glanced at Aunt Chu embarrassedly, and whispered, "Let Auntie see you smile, I'm just afraid that I'm going to take medicine later......"

Seeing that her sitting posture was uncomfortable, Aunt Chu hurriedly took the medicine box and said, "I also have some blood-invigorating medicine here, which is just right to use." ”

"Auntie doesn't have to be busy, my son gave me a bottle of ointment before, and I haven't used it up." As she spoke, she took out the medicine bottle from her little baggage. I wanted to wait for Aunt Chu to turn around and avoid it, but seeing that she didn't mean to avoid it, she simply blushed and gritted her teeth to untie the Luo belt and take off her cotton pants to medicate herself.

As the lid of the medicine bottle was removed, the cool and faint aroma spread. For a medicine master like Aunt Chu, this taste is very familiar, but it is an extremely rare stasis medicine in the palace, which is said to make carrion grow muscle.

After the prince came, he didn't even ask King Ning to ask for it. I didn't expect that now the prince would give a woman so casually.

Although Aunt Chu no longer looks down on Xu Chu now, she even cares about and admires her more, and from time to time there is a feeling that there are successors. After all, there are few things that women do for women, and even if she is her, she only helps to collect and examine the corpse under the reputation of a medical woman. But this did not prevent her, she never thought that the prince would be so different from Xu Chu, and even surpassed the love of brotherhood.

However, when I thought of what Wang Ye said when he warned him that day, and the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, he was obviously waiting in person, and he didn't dare to carelessly feed water to coax her drunk to rest, but in the end he left before dawn with understanding. Such a situation, coupled with the current bottle of rare ointment, is enough to show that his prince is really deeply rooted.

Although she was pleased that the prince had opened her mind, she couldn't help but want to sweat for the prince when she thought of the woman's life experience in front of her, as well as the indifference and personality on her face. This woman has an excellent temperament, and seems to be calm and wise, but in fact she is very upright. The so-called just over easy to break, Hui Ji will be hurt, is her character really suitable for the capital and the royal family?

Regardless of the side, Xu Chu, who had applied the ointment at this time, really felt a coolness penetrating from the broken skin. The hot pain just now has gradually eased a lot. She sighed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Aunt Chu couldn't help but smile and teased: "Gongzi treats the girl seriously, you need to know that when Gongzi Ning came to ask Gongzi for this ointment for the injured side room, he never got his wish." At that time, Ning Gongzi could be regarded as having invested enough money, and exchanged all kinds of rare treasures and even rare medicinal materials for them, but he didn't let Gongzi let go......"

Xu Chu's movement of retracting the medicine bottle in his hand was paused, a little surprised, and a little overwhelmed. She really didn't know that this little bottle of ointment was so rare. As a result, the warm medicine bottle was like a hot potato in an instant, making her not know whether to continue to put it away or return it.

Because Xiao Qinglang gave the medicine to her at the price of a bowl of offal soup. And she never refused, only thanked her happily.

Xu Chu's eyes wandered, and finally bit his lip and took out the medicine bottle from the bag and put it in his sleeve pocket, thinking of finding an opportunity to return it.

Because of her concern, she only said a few words to Aunt Chu, and leaned on the side of the carriage. At least at this time, she didn't think about changing to Xiao Qinglang's car seriously. However, Xiao Qinglang didn't care about her polite attitude, and directly waved Wei Guang to call people.

"Girl, the son said that he found out where he started meddling in Jinzhou City, and asked the girl to go and discuss." Wei Guang's words fell, but he didn't see any echo in the car, so he couldn't help knocking on the carriage door again.

Just when Xu Chu wanted to open his mouth to refuse, he heard a cold and indifferent voice outside, and he called in a low voice that seemed to be faintly displeased: "Xiao Chu? ”

No matter when, Xu Chu felt that this person's voice was really pleasant, low and without any ups and downs, but every word could fall on people's hearts.

She looked fixedly at the carriage door, as if she saw the handsome and proud figure outside through the heavy clothes that could shield her from the wind and snow.
