Chapter 93: The Court
When Su Yalan retrieved the wine vessel, Chang Ke had already gone back, and she relaxed and drank with Shu Mei.
Only when she was with Su Yalan, Shu Mei felt very comfortable, so she also threw aside those rules and precepts.
Shu Mei's amount of alcohol was practiced with Master Mingcang's drinking, although it was still not as good as Mrs. Shi, but it was no problem to drink Su Yalan, so this time, it ended with Su Yalan falling on the table.
Just when Shu Mei was about to think about how to get Su Yalan back without alarming the other masters, Chang Ke appeared like a wandering spirit, and the inseparable maid beside him didn't know where he had been dumped.
"How do you get her to drink so much?"
I saw that Chang Ke, who seemed to be weak, easily hugged Su Yalan, glanced at her eyebrows, and prepared to leave.
This look made Shu Mei very unhappy, didn't he get cheap and behave? If he didn't want Su Yalan to drink too much, he would definitely be able to stop him if he showed up earlier, but he wanted to trouble himself at this time.
"Wait." Shu Mei was actually a little dizzy, but she was still conscious, she just remembered a question and wanted to ask Chang Ke, "How much does Luo Xiu drink?" ”
Chang Ke looked back and smiled, but no matter how he looked at the smile, he was very embarrassed: "You go and ask him yourself." ”
This kid really holds a grudge.
Shu Mei gritted her teeth secretly, just ask, she will definitely ask the next time she sees Luo Xiu, but before that, she still wants to slap him, because she forgot last time......
Luo Xiu, who was thousands of miles away, sneezed as soon as he handed over the horse to Xiao Er in front of the inn, and then another.
Zhu Junliu asked on the side, "Aren't you sick?" ”
"You know what, it's someone missing me."
In the past few days, Zhu Junliu has also become accustomed to Luo Xiu's character, but he can't see through him as a person, and he looks loose and free, but if this is the case, he can't sit in his current position at a young age.
Their team went all the way south, and just passed through an epidemic area, although they have been trying to go around, but the area affected by this flood is not small, and the scope of the epidemic is also very large.
This plague has been no different from the wind and cold since the beginning, sneezing and runny nose and fever, Zhu Junliu looked at Luo Xiu for a while, and made sure that he was relieved to hit two of them.
Because they have recently walked around villages and towns, it is the first time that they do not have to sleep in the wild after passing through the epidemic area.
Luo Xiu stretched his waist, instructed Xiao Er to send hot water to the room, and went upstairs to rest.
Lying on the bed, Luo Xiu didn't wait for a while, hot water was sent in, followed by a letter.
This time, he came out with Xiao Hang's people, although it was to monitor their movements, but it also restricted Luo Xiu's activities. Like now, he can only get messages this way.
Because of the outbreak of the epidemic before, he hadn't received news from the capital for a while.
Luo Xiu read the note while soaking it in the barrel, and threw it into the water, and the ink on the note quickly dispersed.
This Xiao Hang is really restless......
###
However, at this time, Xiao Hang couldn't be more peaceful, because he was worshipping the Buddha in Huguo Temple, and he listened to the news from Miaofeng Nunnery from time to time.
By now, Shu Mei has been hiding there for ten days.
Of course, Xiao Hang didn't come to Huguo Temple to monitor Shu Mei, he came to pray for the safety of today's Son of Heaven.
In the past half a month, the imperial doctor has not left the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the daily morning court has also been changed to once every two days.
This is a signal, there is something wrong with the emperor's body bones, it is not sure whether it is big or small, after all, the emperor can still be seen sitting on the dragon chair the next day.
Emperor Huaixuan has been reigning for thirty years, and the harem is full of children, and now he has a total of seven daughters and five sons. It's okay to have more daughters, just marry a princess, and it's not a good thing to have more sons.
Just like now, his body has just been a little wrong, and some of his sons are already ready to move. Although it has only been five years since the former prince was given death because of a conspiracy to force the palace, the temptation of the throne is too great, and there are always people who don't have a long memory.
Even if Emperor Huaixuan was lying on the bed, no wind and grass could escape his ears and eyes. I heard that Xiao Hang and Xiao Rong were in Huguo Temple together, which made him feel a little more comfortable.
The family affection of the heavenly family is thin, and Emperor Huaixuan didn't expect his sons to really hope that they would live a long life, but if they show it blatantly, they should really be beaten.
So the next day, Emperor Huaixuan swept away his previous illness and appeared in high spirits above the court, indicating that someone was going to be unlucky.
King Xingjiuyong was held accountable for the Qinghe plague, and Emperor Huaixuan asked him to go to that area to control the epidemic in person, and if he couldn't solve it, he wouldn't come back.
Hearing the news of this thunderbolt on a sunny day, King Yong was frightened and his legs weakened, but he could only thank En to go, except for Xiao Rong who was not in the main hall, the other princes were silent, even if they had some thoughts in their hearts before, they could only think about it.
After hearing the will of Emperor Huaixuan, he offered to go with him in order to inspect the embankment project at that time. After all, floods occur every year, and how the embankment that was just repaired this year has problems needs to be thoroughly investigated.
Emperor Huaixuan agreed, although he did not praise him in a word, but he was obviously very satisfied with Xiao Hang's initiative to ask for help. Xiao Hang is ambitious, he knows it, but it is rare that he is still a little benevolent to his brother, if no one takes the initiative, Emperor Huaixuan is also ready to send someone to follow.
Knock is beating, and the son is still his own. Emperor Huaixuan looked at this son who was most like his temper, and praised a lot in his heart.
Emperor Huaixuan looked at Xiao Xuan, but it hindered the eyes of the crown prince Xiao Sheng.
The other brothers, Xiao Sheng didn't pay attention to it, only Xiao Hang made him pay special attention, the last time he designed to frame himself, it was just a battle between the two in a few years.
Thinking of the crown princess who had to hide beside the Queen Mother after being pregnant, Xiao Sheng's hatred in his heart was not to mention. Since he became the crown prince, not a single child has been born in the prince's mansion, except for Xiao Hang, who else can be so ruthless.
But even if Xiao Sheng wants to put Xiao Hang to death, he has to take care of the emperor's intentions, Xiao Hang's mother was killed by assassins in order to protect the emperor, and then he was brought up by the queen mother. So after the death of the former prince, the emperor made himself the crown prince, and Xiao Hang's face did not ease up for a while.
However, in the past few years, it has been difficult for Xiao Sheng to see anything from Xiao Hang's face, his unfathomable appearance is really a little similar to the emperor, thinking of this, Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Hang more and more unpleasantly.
Xiao Xuan ignored Xiao Sheng's gaze and left after retreating.
He also has to do a full set of plays, and he has to go to Huguo Temple to make a vow before leaving.
