Chapter 25: Origin

Fang Xuan got up the next day, washed and ate as usual, and then went outside to take a turn to eat.

The morning light was slightly hazy, and it was a gloomy day outside.

"County Lord, don't you really need to find a doctor?" Sandalwood followed closely behind, her eyes were blue, looking at the calm face of her county lord, and her heart was faintly uneasy.

Last night, after the county lord rested, she was keeping vigil outside, and was about to fall asleep in the haze, when she suddenly heard a noise.

Sandalwood was not at ease, so she put on her coat and went in to look, and saw that the county lord had woken up at some point, staring at the dark corner in a daze.

The underwear on his body was soaked, and cold sweat was on his back and forehead.

"County Lord." Sandalwood hurriedly brought hot water again and waited for her to change her clothes, "Are you having nightmares again?" ”

On that day in Ling'an Temple, the county lord was entangled by Wei Yang, the little prince of King Gui's Mansion, and after falling off the back cliff, he also had two nightmares, but she was not allowed to tell the princess, and she was determined not to see the doctor.

Fang Xuan's eyes were a little cold, the dim candlelight hid her pale face, and her voice was slightly astringent, "I'm fine, you go out." ”

Sandalwood hesitated, Fang Xuan looked at her deeply, "Go out, I'm tired." ”

The county lord Xu was really tired, or there were some things he didn't want her to know. Sandalwood retreated, but she didn't close her eyes all night, staying outside.

What nightmare did the county lord have?

Sandalwood thought silently, and returned to the house with Fang Xuan, Wen Xi was already waiting.

"County Lord, the doctor has come to see him, and said that he has a lot of wounds on his body, and he has been prescribed medicine, do you want to go and take a look?"

After the interrogation last night, Fang Xuan instructed Wen Xi to ask the doctor to come over to treat Fu Yu's injuries and then settle the person.

"Nope." Fang Xuan smiled at Sandalwood, "Sandalwood, do you want to accompany the county lord to see the scary King Xiang?" ”

————————

Gu Chen was sitting and eating tea after breakfast, and suddenly felt that the corners of his eyes began to jump again, so he pressed it with his thumb.

I've had this problem since last night.

Qingyun came in and saw that his face was more cloudy than the sky outside, thought about it, and said, "Your Highness, my subordinates have sent someone to check overnight, and there is nothing wrong with that Fu Yu." ”

After the trial last night, she sent someone to investigate, and Xiao Cheng and Xie Yi assisted, and the results were already available early this morning, so she replied one by one.

Fu Yuyuan was the son of a five-rank Zhonglang general in the river, his father was wounded on the battlefield in his early years and died, and their orphan and widow lived in his uncle's house.

Three years ago, there was a great drought in the river, because the local government officials did not provide disaster relief and caused a refugee riot, Emperor Qianhui was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, many local government officials and generals were implicated, his uncle's family was also put off his official position, and the family returned to his hometown Anqing Mansion.

Fu Yu's aunt was already dissatisfied with this cheap sister-in-law and nephew, but now her family is having a hard time, and she doesn't have a good face, she dislikes them for being sick and crooked, and hanging them with decoction all day long, and the other is poor and sick and goes to the academy to study and can't do work to subsidize the family, and she scolds and scolds on weekdays.

One day, when Fu Yu's mother was eating, she suddenly fell ill and spilled the food on the ground, so his aunt pointed at someone and scolded her so badly that she fainted to death.

Fu Yu was in the academy, and she heard the little girl next to her mother crying and running to say, "Madame is no good", threw away the pen and ink and ran back, but the mother and son only had time to see the last face.

Afterwards, Fu Yu took care of her mother's funeral, threw all the family property in front of her aunt, kowtowed to her uncle three times, and left without looking back.

He is good-looking, ruthless, usually with a few local people who covet his appearance, knowing that he is actually alone on the dock to do work for people, those people entangled a group of ruffians and hooligans, taking advantage of the night to block him in the warehouse, provocative words, seeing that he does not comply, they want to use force.

Finally, the night watchman heard the movement, opened the storeroom and saw that a smell of blood rushed over, and there were more than a dozen people in it, all with blue noses and swollen faces and broken heads.

The most seriously injured is Fu Yu, although there is no injury on his face, but his body is full of large and small cuts, at first glance, those people deliberately do this, if it is delayed, even the gods will be difficult to save back.

The night watchman recognized Fu Yu, dragged the person out before reporting to the official, and asked the doctor to treat him, but when he got up the next day, he found that the person was gone, and a cloth bag was left on the table, which was more than 100 yuan that Fu Yu had obtained from carrying the sack.

Fu Yu was afraid that those people would find trouble with the night watchman, so he found a ruined temple outside and hid for a while, usually only eating some tribute to satisfy his hunger.

Yesterday, one of the gentlemen went to ascend, and the two happened to be opposite, Fu Yu knocked people unconscious and tied them to the back of the Buddha statue, and walked all the way to Anfeng Street, where they met Shang Xuan and others.

Qingyun said that, seeing that Gu Chen's face was still not very good, he didn't know what was wrong.

Gu Chen rubbed the wrench finger of the green jade dragon pattern and was silent.

A person who can't afford to be unprofitable will do a good deed every day for no reason?

He sneered, "Go check and see what happened to the rest of the people except for the kidnapped." ”

————————

Fang Xuan had just walked to Gu Chen's door and suddenly sneezed.

She touched the tip of her nose.

"County Lord, you're sick, let's ask a doctor to take a look!" Sandalwood hurriedly saw the right time to persuade.

"It's just that you haven't slept well, and if you dare to curse the county lord again, I will deduct your three-month silver." Fang Xuan viciously scared her.

Turning his head, he changed his dignified appearance again, and said softly to Chu Lou, the guard standing at the door, "I'm tired of saying to the prince, Duan Ning asks to see me." ”

When Gu Chen heard that the guards were coming, he suppressed his brows, which twitched from time to time, and slowly took out a book of soldiers to read.

Chu Lou withdrew, his face was serious, "County Lord, please go back, the prince has something to do, and he won't see any guests for the time being." ”

"Okay." Fang Xuan nodded, turned around to leave, but a man's deep voice came from behind him, "Let people in." ”

Qingyun greeted him and said respectfully: "Lord Duanning, Your Highness, please come in." ”

"Is the prince done? So fast? Sandalwood muttered under her breath.

The master and the servant went into the house.

Compared with the furnishings in other places on the boat, Gu Chen's residence is much simpler.

The room is very spacious, and the light outside is already the size of the place where she lives, but it is empty inside, and there are only four yellow rosewood circle chairs on the left and right, and the top one is Qi Nanmu

The black lacquer inlaid Raden Taishi chair.

A twelve-open red sandalwood carved cloud dragon pattern inlaid jade seat screen separates the inside and outside, revealing the undisguised dignity of the owner.

Other than that, there are no ornaments.

"Duan Ning greets the prince."

Fang Xuan stood in front of the screen and saluted towards the silent compartment.

"No courtesy." After a while, Gu Chen strode out, and he didn't see that she was already sitting on the Taishi chair, playing with a Tianhuang seal in her hand.

The seal yellow with red, the color is bright, it is the most rare Tianhuang frozen jade carved out, a Rui beast Pixiu on the seat, the feet are even seven stars, the head has two instruments, its shape is lifelike.

It is said that the prince has a gentle and upright temperament and likes jade the most.

As for Gu Chen, he acted wantonly, but few people could guess his thoughts, and she didn't need to guess.

Fang Xuan glanced at it and saw that a corner was missing from the engraving on the base of the seal.

"Cousin doesn't have to be formal."

Gu Chen casually took the tea in his hand and ate it, and pointed to the right and lowered, "Sit down and say." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Fang Xuan sat down as he said, his neck was half hanging, and his eyes looked at the distance in front of him, and he refused to be wrong with half a point.
