Chapter Ninety-Eight: Meeting
Because the prince was injured, the last test had to be postponed, and Ming Xiu's wounds were almost boneless, and she couldn't move for the time being, so Chu Nian had to place her in the Chen family, which was not far away. The palace is only a distance from the east of the city and the north of the city to the Chen family, but when I heard that the prince was assassinated, the old imperial doctor in the palace almost arrived at the Chen family quickly.
It was Xu Changqing, the head of the Tai Hospital, who was followed by a few young imperial doctors, and when he was welcomed into the cabinet by Chu Nian, the old man was still out of breath, but when he saw the half-open eyes on the collapsed, Xu Changqing didn't even dare to breathe, and hurriedly checked Ming Xiu's pulse, and felt Ming Xiu's normal pulse, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The group of imperial doctors treated Ming Xiu's wounds with all hands and feet before they were about to carry the people into the carriage, but the foolish prince stared at them with a pair of eyes to drive them away: "You go back quickly!" Lone wants to recuperate from his injuries here with the county lord! Don't go back to the palace! ”
Xu Changqing was anxious in a cold sweat, when he heard that the prince was injured, the queen mother immediately drove him out, and now the queen mother has not seen Ming Xiu's injury, not to mention, the prince is the future of the Ninety-Five, at the foot of the imperial city, how can he let Ming Xiu recuperate in the Chen family?
Chu Nian's gaze shifted from the anxious Xu Changqing's face to Ming Xiu's, opened his mouth, and noticed Chu Nian's gaze, Ming Xiu turned his eyes sideways and smiled mischievously, before turning his eyes to look at Xu Changqing again, "You go back!" Otherwise, Lone will tell the imperial grandmother that it is because you can't heal Lone's wounds! ”
The cold sweat on Xu Changqing's forehead was enough to take a cold shower, so he had to turn his head to Chu Nian for help and said, "County Lord, look at this ......"
Seeing that the old man was old and still had to worry about Ming Xiu's thoughts, Chu Nian smiled lightly and said: "Now that His Royal Highness's body moves, it will involve the wound, and it is inseparable from the imperial doctor before it has healed, it is better for Xu Lao to stay for a while, I will go back later to return to the Queen Mother, and it is not too late to return to the palace when His Royal Highness recovers from his injury." ”
Hearing this, Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, this is not a bad way, not to mention that now the Queen Mother is mad in the palace because of the prince's injury, it is also good that he can have the opportunity to hide in the Chen family and not touch the Queen Mother's moldy head.
The imperial physician and his party were arranged to stay in the wing room next to them, Chu Nian returned to the side of Ming Xiu's collapse, the people on the couch were closing their eyes to recuperate, their narrow eyes narrowed into a slit slightly, their eyebrows were clustered around, and their thin lips were pursed into a straight line, because of the injury, the imperial doctors stripped Ming Xiu's coat, and at this moment he was revealing half of his chest, and the gauze on his right arm was faintly showing a little blood.
He was obviously a sturdy young man, but his skin was like cream, and the sun shone on the small piece of skin he exposed, as if with a halo of a little protein.
Chu Nian frowned, stepped forward and lifted the futon that had faded to his waist, carefully covering his chest, and then his eyes fell on the shocked handsome face, and he was reluctant to leave.
The sleeping Ming Xiu seems to be very well-behaved and lovely, he will not quarrel with her because of a little thing, nor will he do anything to her because of his temper, nor will he do those sweet words that sound numb...... After a while, Chu Nian blushed slightly for his distraction, and his gaze fell on Ming Xiu's injured arm, and his willow eyebrows were lightly frowned.
originally thought that it was a martial arts person who assassinated her grandfather, but it seems that she and Tao Jinyan guessed wrong, they can use illusion to send an iron man to the examination room for so long, and then instructed the iron man to stab Ming Xiu, how can it be those people who only know the skin of illusion? I'm afraid that this is still the handiwork of "Qinghe".
Now, they have begun to attack their grandfather? Do you want that token...... They should at least be the opposite of the people in the martial arts, shouldn't they?
But the people in the examination room are all strictly controlled by them, no matter who is sent in by King Huainan and Wang Zixuan, Chu Nian also specially sent someone to check the background of the other party, how did this iron man get in? King Huainan? No...... Ming Xiu has said that King Huainan is not such a fool. Who would that be?
Chu Nian felt that he must have missed some important details, and he still needed to think about it carefully.
But at this moment, while Ming Xiu is asleep, she should still go to the palace, she knows that Ming Xiu doesn't want to pretend to be a fool anymore, but now is not the time, she can only take advantage of the "time when you can be smart" to be smart for a while, there are many people in the palace, and the entire palace is almost under the control of the Queen Mother, Ming Xiu can breathe out of the palace, and now that he has such an opportunity, it is not his character to easily go back to the palace and let the Queen Mother fiddle.
Chu Nian's gaze lingered on the wound on his bare arm for a while, before he got up from the collapse, but was caught by a rough hand on his wrist, Chu Nian looked back, and met a pair of deep eyes, only to see him lick his lips and say, "Does Nian'er like to look at me so much?" ”
Chu Nian's face was stunned, even though his face was red, he hadn't slept all the time? Wouldn't it be that she just stared at others......
Without waiting for Chu Nian to react, Ming Xiu first laughed lightly before pulling Chu Nian's hand, and before Chu Nian could come back to his senses, he accidentally lay down in an arms overflowing with the fragrance of lotus flowers.
"Your Highness, this is the Chen family." Chu Nian was lying in his arms, suddenly remembering that he was wearing nothing, and his face suddenly turned red.
Seeing Chu Nian's reddened little face, Ming Xiu's thin lips hooked, and he reached out to pick her delicate chin, "If you still know how to be shy, why did you stare at Lone's face for so long?" ”
Chu Nian reached out to push the restless big hand, "You've already woken up!" ”
Who would have thought, with Chu Nian's active resistance, that big hand seemed to have swallowed a drug that was placed in the excitement, Chu Nian covered this side, it slipped over there, Chu Nian caught it, and the other one climbed up.
Maybe it was because there was too much movement between the two, Ming Xiu's injured elbow accidentally touched the wood next to the bed, making a loud noise, and then he saw that the person who was still full of stubbornness suddenly gasped.
Chu Nian frowned, quickly got up from the couch, bent down to investigate the wound on Ming Xiu's arm, and couldn't hide his worry, "How is it?" Is the wound open again? ”
Ming Xiu raised his eyes and looked at her innocently, "Lone doesn't know, can you help Lone take a look?" ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian had no choice but to bow his head to Ming Xiu's arm, but at this moment, the restless big hand climbed up the slender waist again, Chu Nian didn't pay attention, and accidentally lay on his back in his arms, facing Ming Xiu's lowered face, the broken hair shrugged at will on the temples, covering a piece of sunlight from the window, in the shadows, there were sharp outlines, and a pair of glowing eyes.
The breath that was close at hand made Chu Nian look stunned, and his chest was like a twilight bell that had been woken up, and he saw that handsome face gradually approaching, his hand tightly fixed Chu Nian's jaw, and a long kiss was pressed down.
This kiss seemed to have been brewing for a long time, his slightly cool thin lips tossed and turned on her wooden lips, and before waiting for this long kiss to end, Chu Nian only felt that his breathing was still. The brain was blank, and all the thoughts about the imperial power of the Queen Mother were hidden at this moment, and he seemed to be the only one left in the world, no, in her eyes, she was the only one left.
It was the first kiss in her life.
It wasn't until the ups and downs of her chest couldn't be suppressed that the tightly fitting lips were separated, Chu Nian's watery eyes met a pair of eyes that were hiding something, Ming Xiu hurriedly helped her body up, and said in a dumb voice: "Aren't you going to see the Queen Mother?" Hurry up, it's too late, she should be a moth again. ”
Chu Nian withdrew from that inexplicable emotion, his eyes stayed on the wound on Ming Xiu's shoulder for a while, and when he saw that the blood stains in the shade did not expand, he turned around and left the door, and when he walked out of the door, Chu Nian stiffened after realizing it.
His fingers couldn't help but slide over his lips that were still warm, and his face was hot, just as Xu Changqing came from the wing room, and saw Chu Nian standing in a daze at the door, he said suspiciously: "County Lord, what's wrong?" ”
Her thoughts were interrupted, Chu Nian suddenly shook like a frightened deer, and after a while, she coughed lightly in shock, and nodded towards Xu Changqing: "Elder Xu, I'm fine, maybe I didn't exonerate myself from the panic when the prince was injured." ”
Xu Changqing looked at her suspiciously for a while, and then nodded: "The lower official came to investigate the prince's injury, if there is anything wrong with the county lord, come to find the lower official." ”
Chu Nian nodded, let go of the body, Xu Changqing walked in with suspicion, Chu Nian patted his face and walked in the direction of the palace.
……
Listening to Chu Nian's explanation that Xiu did not hurt the vital point, the Queen Mother became indifferent to Ming Xiu, at this moment she was sitting on the soft collapse, there were all kinds of melons and fruits on the small mahogany table at hand, and the grandmother next to her picked one and sent it to the Queen Mother's mouth, and the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.
Chu Nian sat at the bottom of the hall, but Ming Xiu's face flashed in his heart. She has lived in a harmonious environment with her family since she was a child, so she naturally can't imagine Ming Xiu's feelings, but now it seems that her biological grandmother doesn't care about her at all, which is really chilling, and it is no wonder that Ming Xiu has never had any hope for this queen mother from the beginning.
The Queen Mother swallowed the jujube in her mouth, and then slowly raised her eyes to look at Chu Nian, "Chen Yueguo, can you think about when to re-hold this third literary exam?" ”
Chu Nian nodded and said, "Lord Chen has decided to re-apply for a test paper, and the three tests will be held again in three days, which can also be regarded as calming the stunned candidates." ”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded, didn't say anything, Chu Nian saw that everything that should be explained was almost explained, and now the Queen Mother couldn't make a fuss, so she was about to leave, but it was the Queen Mother who raised her eyes and said: "What you said before, the Mourning family has already informed Shen Dui, he wants to invite you to the mansion to talk about it, you have been busy helping Chen Yueguo these days, he has never seen your people, now that he is idle, do what you want to do, Chen Yueguo's side, the Mourning family will help you talk about giving you a vacation." ”
If the Queen Mother hadn't mentioned this, Chu Nian would have almost forgotten about Shen Dui, and now he remembered that the plan for Shen Dui had been shelved for a long time, so he lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you Queen Mother for your grace." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, "Stand down." ”
Chu Nian left along the slope and walked out of the palace before breathing a sigh of relief, if it was still early today, Ming Xiu had Xu Changqing to take care of her, she didn't have to worry, she hadn't heard of Shen Dui on any business recently, with her understanding of Shen Dui, at this time, he should study chess at home.
Thinking of this, Chu Nian's eyes sank slightly, Shen Dui, it's time for you to pay some of the price you should pay.
In the Shen family's mansion, Shen Dui was sitting in the gazebo drinking tea indifferently, there was a chessboard in front of him, and the chessboard was arranged according to the chess game, Shen Dui's eyes fell from the chess game to the chessboard from time to time, and his fingers twisted a chess piece, and from time to time it fell on the chessboard.
At this stall, the little guy guarding the door hurriedly arrived, "My lord, the unequaled county lord has arrived." ”
Shen Dui's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put down the chess pieces and chess games in his hand, and his eyes moved over his crippled legs for a moment before he said indifferently: "Please." ”
When Chu Nian arrived, he saw such a scene: a fairy man dressed in a plain green coat, his body was stable in a wheelchair, if it weren't for the tea that his subordinates kept sending to his mouth betrayed his anxiety, he would have really been calm.
When Chu Nian approached, Shen Duan seemed to have just realized something, smiled and nodded: "County Lord, the lower official is inconvenient, so he won't get up and salute, the county lord is more casual." ”
Seeing this, Chu Nian pretended to be shy and smiled lightly: "Okay." ”
