Chapter 447: Return to Beijing
Ming Xiu drove overnight, and soon returned to the capital, and hurriedly took the god of medicine to the Su family's mansion, looking at the god of medicine, the master and apprentice of the medicine king looked surprised, and the peach lying on the couch said the same, he looked at Chu Nian's stall with side eyes, and saw the god of medicine said viciously: "Don't look at others, the old man came to detoxify you in the face of the dead Ah Mo today, you have to remember the good that Ah Mo gave you for the rest of your life!" β
Seeing that the medicine king and the others were still in the house, the god of medicine turned to look at a few people, his face was cold, "The old man has rules, no one is allowed around him when he is treating, you all get out of the old man!" β
When these words fell, the Medicine King wanted to say something, but he saw Chu Nian looking at the Medical God with a serious face and said, "Then I will bother the Medical God." β
After that, the weak-faced man turned around and walked towards the door, and a group of people looked at each other, and in the end, they had to turn around and walk out of the door, and the rest of the medicine god and Tao Jinyan were in the room.
Chu Nian walked slowly to the door, Ming Xiu stood quietly under the plane tree that had revived at some point, looking up at the huge canopy, a gust of wind blew, the leaves rustled, and it looked extremely peaceful.
Seeing Chu Nian's eyes flickering slightly, he took a few steps forward and said, "What did you do, why did the god of medicine agree so easily to detoxify Tao's words?" β
Ming Xiu withdrew from his thoughts, turned his eyes, but didn't answer Chu Nian's words, just stepped forward with concern, and slightly folded his robe for Chu Nian, only then did he frown and look at the pair of eyes full of inquiry, "I haven't rested for a few days, and now that the god of medicine has come, don't you go and get a good night's sleep?" β
Chu Nian frowned slightly and shook his head slightly, "I'm fine." β
Seeing that her face was still stubborn, her big palm seemed to be unable to help but gently rub her hairy little head, and then sighed silently, "I just helped the God of Medicine get a stone flower, and you also heard what the God of Medicine asked, in the future, the Valley of the Medicine King will be rebuilt, and it will not be within the jurisdiction of Da Liang, this price is really not small, and I still have to use other things to return it when I turn around." β
Seeing the tenderness flickering in those narrow eyes, Chu Nian couldn't help but have a sour nose and whispered, "Thank you." β
Ming Xiu's eyes flashed with a little vague distress, and he frowned and withdrew the hand that was on the little furry head, "Why do you and I need to say more." β
Chu Nian's eyes were red, she half-lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Tao Jinyan once saved my life." β
"I know." The body suddenly fell into the broad embrace, Chu Nian felt the warmth coming from all around, and the top was still Ming Xiu's deep voice, "This time can be counted as my expression of gratitude to him." β
A warm current suddenly rose in his heart, and the familiar fragrance of lotus flowers still made people feel reassured, Chu Nian suddenly felt an inexplicable tiredness attacking, so he simply lay in this embrace, and slowly closed his eyes.
Feeling the relaxed body of the person in his arms, and the sound of light and shallow breathing from the side, Ming Xiu couldn't help but hook his thin lips slightly, carefully picked up the sleeping person horizontally, and turned around and walked towards the path.
When Chu Nian woke up again, it was already late at night on the second day, and at this moment, her figure was still firmly imprisoned in an embrace, looking up at the past, Ming Xiu's sleeping face was extremely calm, and even the knife-like outline was a little softer, Chu Nian couldn't help but stretch out the only hand that could move and touch the handsome face, but there was a rush of footsteps at the door, followed by Mei Xiang's somewhat teasing voice.
"I'm sorry, lady, the slave didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also there."
Chu Nian turned his eyes a little annoyed to see what the girl was smiling into, but when he raised his eyes, he met the pair of narrow eyes that opened at some point, and those eyes seemed to be full of deep meaning and turned into nothingness, and at that moment, Chu Nian felt at a loss.
"What's wrong with you?"
The glimmer in those eyes gradually dissipated, the sharp thin lips slightly hooked up an untraceable gentle arc, and the arms gradually tightened, forcing Chu Nian to get close to the body that seemed to be hot, and the confinement behind her seemed to rub her thin body into her chest, until Chu Nian coughed lightly, the arms eased a little, Chu Nian raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the pair of eyes that seemed to be a little cautious, and couldn't help but bend his eyes, "Your Highness is very wrong today." β
Ming Xiu's thin lips pursed, and he pressed his forehead close to the top of Chu Nian's forehead, "I just feel that I am almost going to lose you." β
With his cheeks close to each other, a warm breath came from above, Chu Nian frowned, and a deep voice continued to come from the other side: "You said, if you run away with Tao Jinyan because you are grateful for Tao Jinyan's kindness to you, what should I do?" β
Hearing this, Chu Nian was stunned, and after a while, she reacted to the meaning of Ming Xiu's words, and couldn't help but hook her red lips slightly, and her body was simply nestled in that warm embrace, and teased: "I didn't know that His Highness still has such a naΓ―ve side." β
Ming Xiu, who was at the top, frowned more and more, his whole handsome face was almost distorted, but he heard an almost inaudible voice in his arms, "Am I not already your person?" β
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and then, the handsome face was soothed again, the thin lips couldn't help grinning, the narrow eyes were bent into two crescent moons, and the arms tightened the person in his arms, and he was reluctant to let go.
After a while, Mei Xiang's voice seemed to be a little embarrassed outside the door, "Lady, to be honest, the slave really doesn't want to disturb you, but it seems that it can't be bothered right now......"
The two sticky bodies were suddenly separated, Chu Nian turned over and stayed with a red face, fortunately, he fell asleep in kimono yesterday, and it would not be very embarrassing, at this stall, he saw the shadow of Mei Xiang at the door who didn't know whether to come in or not, and said softly: "What's wrong?" β
Mei Xiang said softly: "It's news from the palace, saying that the Queen Mother is invited." β
At this time, it happened that Ming Xiu slowly sat up from the couch, Chu Nian turned his eyes, and looked at Ming Xiu, both of them had doubts in their eyes, and after a while, Chu Nian remembered Wang Zixuan, who was now settled in Su Mansion, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"I think it's because Dark Rin has received the news that Wang Zixuan was brought back by us."
Hearing this, Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned his eyes to look out the window, "Lord Wang is back, and Gu hasn't seen it in person." β
Chu Nian nodded, and saw Mei Xiang boldly walking into the room with a basin of water, and her eyes never dared to look directly at the couch, until Chu Nian couldn't help but laugh, pulled up Ming Xiu, who was still lazy on the couch, and then said in a low voice: "What do you think about this girl?" β
At this moment, Ming Xiu straightened out her robe, Mei Xiang heard Chu Nian's voice before turning her eyes, and saw that the two of them were not missing a piece of clothing, so she blushed a little unexpectedly, and stammered: "Lady, Your Highness, you, you are not ......"
Chu Nian couldn't help laughing, got up from the couch, stretched out his hand and pinched the hot little face, and said, "You stinky girl, hurry up and help me wash up, if you tell the Queen Mother to wait for a long time, I will rely on you!" β
"Lady? Isn't it that the lady and Her Royal Highness have to get tired of being together to delay! β
"Little girl has learned to talk back?"
Ming Xiu, who was on the couch, got up, saw the two masters and servants who were making a mess, couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and at the end, he turned around and walked out of the door, "Go to visit Lord Wang alone." β
When Chu Nian finished washing and appeared at the door of Cining Palace, it was already an hour later, and he was still wearing a plain white robe today, because he slept a little longer last night, his complexion finally recovered a little blood, and Mama Li, who was waiting at the door, saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a sneer: "County Lord, the Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time." β
Chu Nian nodded with a light smile, turned his eyes to look at Mei Xiang, and saw Mei Xiang respectfully leaning over Mama Li, following a few steps, and stopping at the door of Cining Palace.
Mama Li saw it, but she didn't stop, but she was a little puzzled and said, "County Lord, won't that girl follow up and serve?" β
Hearing this, Chu Nian looked at Mama Li calmly, shook his head lightly, and said, "Since the Queen Mother sees me today that she has something important, it is really unruly for me to bring another maid." β
"Oh......" Mama Li turned her head thoughtfully.
After entering the main hall, the Queen Mother was sitting on the top thoughtfully, looking at Chu Nian saluting, only then did she come back to her senses, and seemed to wave her hand enthusiastically and said: "Nian'er is here, give the seat quickly." β
After Chu Nian sat down, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "You girl, you haven't come to visit the mourning family for a few days." β
Chu Nian smiled and nodded, "Recently, I have been busy, and the Queen Mother is not unaware, if it weren't for that, I am afraid that I would have come to visit the Queen Mother a long time ago, and I hope that the Queen Mother will not be careful." β
The Queen Mother smiled, waved her hand, and saw Mama Li on the side stepped forward kindly and filled the tea cup on Chu Nian's side, "The county lord tastes this snack, the queen mother heard that the county lord likes osmanthus cakes, so she specially found a master to make dim sum." β
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows without a trace, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, only then did he clean his hands with a handkerchief, and looked at the Queen Mother with surprise, "The Queen Mother, this osmanthus cake is really delicious." β
"If you like it, take the master who makes dim sum away later, and it will not be in vain that the mourning family will go to the people to find this person for your pleasure."
A trace of doubt flashed in Chu Nian's eyes, and he looked at the Queen Mother with a light smile and gratefulness: "Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is really too good to the courtiers, and the courtiers feel ashamed." β
She wanted to know, what was the Queen Mother's idea today, could it be that she wanted to exchange a piece of osmanthus cake for Wang Zixuan's life?
At this stall, I saw the Queen Mother smile and said: "It's good if you like it, by the way, the mourning family heard that a few days ago, you found an old beggar at the border to come back?" Who is the old beggar? So that you can be so attentive? β
Seeing that the topic was finally mentioned, Chu Nian only half-lowered her eyes and smiled shallowly, she rolled her eyes, calmly picked up a piece of pastry and put it to her mouth, and then said: "It's not a rare person, it's just a relatively smart beggar, I looked at the strange and pitiful, so I brought it back." β
Sensing Chu Nian's obvious prevarication, the Empress Dowager at the top frowned slightly, and said reluctantly: "But there are also many beggars in the capital, why do you have to go to the border so far to bring a beggar back?" If there is really a shortage of people, there are many mourning families here. β
Chu Nian raised his eyes, looked at the Queen Mother meaningfully, and said: "But that beggar, the courtiers look special, there is indeed no such cunning beggar in the capital." β
When these words fell, I saw that the Queen Mother's eyes sank suddenly, and she glanced at Mama Li on the side without a trace, and saw Mama Li turn around and hurried out of the door, but she didn't know that this scene had already fallen into Chu Nian's eyes, Chu Nian sneered in her heart, and then picked up the teacup casually.
