Chapter 23: Undressing and Sleeping
Murphy was stunned, she didn't expect Lin Xueqi to ask her this question, but she still told the truth, "I've been there." ”
Hearing her answer, Lin Xueqi nodded slightly, this answer was what she expected, so she was not very surprised.
"Then let me take the liberty of asking, have you ever taught someone how to heal? Poison-wise? "The person who poisoned Mo Xichen, it can be seen that the poison is very rare, unless the person who uses the poison is superb. And Duan Murphy knows medical skills, and the doctor is also a poison doctor, just looking at Duan Murphy's expression, it doesn't look like a fake, then she went back to the capital and taught people poison arts.
"Teach people poison? Never. Murphy thought for a moment, shook his head and denied it.
Lin Xueqi frowned, he had never taught, so he was another person, so who in the capital had taught himself poison art? And is it the poisoning of Lord Mo? The current ordinary people are not so bold, and Mo Xichen is also a poison in the recent period, and at that time, Mo Xichen's prestige has long been afraid of people when they hear it, and they don't dare.
I'm afraid that he is a person who has an enmity with Mo Xichen, and he is still born in the royal family, Mo Yi? But he doesn't know poison, how can he poison Mo Xichen? And once Mo Xichen dies, the Mo Dynasty will be overthrown by some small countries that have been watching for a long time, and no one must be willing to be a prisoner.
"Miss Murphy, we're going down the mountain, and we'll visit you another day." Lin Xueqi said "goodbye" and was about to go out.
"Wait." Murphy stopped them, then lowered her eyes, as if she was struggling, as if she was thinking, and after a long time, she said, "Be careful on the road."
Lin Xueqi said "um", and left with Mo Xichen, without looking back.
Duan Murphy returned to his seat, took a glass of water and put it to his lips, and didn't drink it for a long time. She didn't know if she was doing the right thing, and she was confused for the first time.
With the first experience, Lin Xueqi didn't get lost when she went back this time, and she went down the snow mountain smoothly, and as soon as she walked to the place where the ice and snow appeared, she immediately took off the two cotton clothes, and only one white plain clothes were left.
Thinking of Duan Murphy's expression just now, Lin Xueqi frowned slightly and said, "Let's go to the Buddhist temple first and stay for a few days."
"That person, do you think it's unusual?" Mo Xichen didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed, but Lin Xueqi knew that he agreed.
"Yes. She seemed to have something unwilling to tell us. Lin Xueqi said as he walked, raising his own questions.
It was her expression that told her everything. She wanted to say but didn't say it, her hesitation, speculation and uncertain mood were all seen by her, she didn't say it, then she didn't force it, sooner or later, she would take the initiative to come to her, and at that time, everything would be known.
"You think so too." Mo Xichen glanced at Lin Xueqi and was quite appreciative.
"She, she has been to the capital, and she probably taught people medical skills." Lin Xueqi guessed. This is just her conjecture, such a clue, such a clue, such a clue, she doesn't know who is behind the master, who is the one who killed her parents, but if she finds out, she will definitely break them into pieces!
The petals fell, Lin Xueqi's hair fluttered, and her white clothes fluttered, in such a beautiful scenery, she walked towards the holy place Buddhist temple with anger.
"Amitabha. Donor, please stay. Before they arrived at the Buddhist temple, Lin Xueqi and Mo Xichen stopped in place, looked at Lin Zi in unison, and saw a little monk walking towards them.
"Donor, are you going to the Buddhist temple? I'm afraid you won't be welcome. The little monk said.
"Oh? Why? Lin Xueqi asked. She went to the Buddhist temple for a few days by the way, but she couldn't do it?
"To be precise, this male donor can't go in, because the male donor is stained with blood and collides with the golden light of the Buddhist temple, so it is not appropriate to enter, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster." The little monk spoke eloquently, and Lin Xueqi couldn't say anything to refute it.
Buddhism does have this saying, she actually forgot that Mo Xichen, the god of killing, had been on the battlefield, and forgot that he was carrying dozens of lives, so he could not enter the Buddhist temple.
"Defend the family and the country, what do children understand? Becoming a monk at such a young age, I guess the family is not very special, right? Mo Xichen's thin lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were calm, not at all sad because he couldn't enter.
Well, he didn't actually plan to go in, because he knew he couldn't.
The little monk's eyes dimmed, and he didn't answer Mo Xichen's question, "Sister donor, if you want to live with this brother, you can go to my house first, my house is not far from here, and you can get there in a few steps." My name is Yichen. The little monk pointed to the pointed grass hut that appeared in the distance and said.
"Little brother, sister, I don't know the way." The implication: Trouble the little brother to lead the way.
Lin Xueqi doesn't recognize the road This is a fact, in modern times, she was used because of the shortcoming of getting lost, I don't know how many times she was intercepted and hunted down, and the person who won in the end was still her, because she used needles to harm people, no one can compare to her, that hand of silver needles makes it supernatural, and even some black forces are afraid of three points.
The little monk Yichen was quite speechless, so he had to resign himself to showing them the way, and came to a dilapidated thatched house, "That brother is right, my family is poor, if the young lady is not used to living, you can go to the capital." Seeing that my brother's clothes are exquisite and gorgeous, I am afraid that he is an official, and my sister is so blessed. ”
“…… Joke and laugh. Lin Xueqi laughed dryly, looked around the hut, didn't hear any movement, she asked, "What about your family?" Not at home? ”
The little monk Yichen shook his head, "My parents live in an alley in the capital, and this is my temporary residence, so it's a little shabby, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Alleys? Lin Xueqi has observed this capital, and some of the two families will have a dark alley between them. Can there still be people living in the alley? It was also the first time she knew.
"The poor live there. I don't know how many people are left in this capital, just because of some corrupt officials. Mo Xichen explained in a low voice. Seeing Lin Xueqi's puzzled eyes, he said more.
"Oh." Lin Xueqi smiled at the little monk with Mo Xichen, "How come?" We thank you that it's too late, we're going to trouble you these days. ”
"Don't break the furniture, I'll go first. There are no jackals, tigers and leopards here, so you can rest assured. The little monk said a few words, and he walked towards the Buddhist temple.
Lin Xueqi took a look at the dilapidated room, and was hesitating to open the door to take a look, Mo Xichen stretched out a pair of hands and opened it gently, and what came into his eyes was a tidy room, and it seemed that the little monk had cleaned it very cleanly.
"Does this king really want to live here?" Mo Xichen looked around and couldn't help frowning. There is only one bed here, and it is impossible for him to share a bed with a second person if he has a habit of cleanliness for women, but if the other party is Lin Xueqi, it is not necessarily, but Lin Xueqi has been made out of his psychological shadow, and he will not sleep with Mo Xichen for another night if he is killed.
"Or else? When you go back to the capital, you will be discovered, and you want to live in a Buddhist temple, but because you can only live in this place. No matter where you live, it's the same. "She has lived on the streets before, how many times she has made trash cans her home, but this time at least there is a shelter from the wind and rain, which is much better than she was then.
"Forget it, this king should also deign to it." Mo Xichen also resisted the urge to return to the Nine Kings' Mansion. He could say that everything here was inferior to one thing in the Nine Kings' Mansion.
Lin Xueqi looked at the bed with only one quilt, and was a little embarrassed, "There is only one bed, do you sleep on the ground?" ”
Mo Xichen glared at Lin Xueqi, "How can this king sleep on the ground?" And it's not like you haven't slept with this king. ”
"......" looked at Lin Xueqi, who only had one quilt, and was very helpless, sleeping on the ground meant that she would not have to share the bed with Mo Xichen, but it also meant that she had to sleep on the hard ground.
For the sake of her health, she still sleeps on the ground.
The sky gradually darkened, Lin Xueqi sat on the chair, looking at the dark night, holding her chin with her hand and not knowing what she was thinking.
Just now, Lin Xueqi took down the quilt and was about to spread it on the ground, but he was taken away by Mo Xichen, and the reason was still very strong, "Either sleep on the bed, or sleep on the ground without the quilt." Choose one of the two. ”
Naturally, she chose to sleep in a bed. Lin Xueqi didn't want to go to sleep now, the first reason was that it was still early, and the second reason was that Mo Xichen was already lying on the bed.
"Why doesn't the Ninth Princess undress and fall asleep?" Mo Xichen lay down and chuckled.
Lin Xueqi forcibly endured the three cursed words that appeared in his mind, and waved his hand, "Not for the time being, I can't sleep now, and it's not interesting to lie down, it's better to look at the stars outside the window." ”
"But the Ninth Princess, you can't see the stars if you sit like this." Mo Xichen kindly reminded.
Lin Xueqi came back to her senses and looked out the window, but all she saw was the dark forest, not the stars. Lin Xueqi pursed her lips slightly, and hurriedly explained: "This princess has good eyesight, and she can see anything she wants." She didn't blush anymore when she lied.
Mo Xichen swept her eyes, and knew that she couldn't force it, after all, she couldn't force it, and the more she forced it, the more she would resist, "You can sleep whenever you want." The king went out and came back soon. He put on his coat, pushed the door and walked out, and as soon as he saw him go out, Lin Xueqi immediately walked to the side of the bed and lay down.
Mo Xichen glanced back, the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and his thin lips opened lightly, "Yixuan." ”
Yixuan is a shadow beside Mo Xichen, usually hiding in the shadows, and no one will notice his strong martial arts, so he is also an important person to find out about intelligence. Entering the palace to inquire about the news is his basic skill.
"The subordinates are here." A black figure fell in front of Mo Xichen, and when he opened his eyes again, Yixuan could kneel on one knee.
"Go and give some clothes and jewelry to the people in the alley, and by the way, give some gold and silver and so on. The princess of this king couldn't bear it, and she couldn't finish it now, so this king came to do it for her. Mo Xichen commanded.
Yixuan's figure was shocked, Xu is he didn't expect Mo Xichen to think about this kind of thing, "Lord Wang, Princess Lin is not worth it for you to do so for her." He could see that he had been in the dark for the past few days, and Princess Lin was ruthless, loveless, and heartless, and she would not understand Mo Xichen's hard work.
"If you are told to go, where is all this nonsense?" Mo Xichen's face turned cold.
Yixuan hurriedly said: "My subordinates say goodbye."
In fact, Mo Xichen didn't know why he did this, maybe he was also in a good mood when he saw Lin Xueqi's smile, right?
Thinking like this, Mo Xichen returned to the room and saw that Lin Xueqi had already fallen asleep on the bed, his steps slowed down a little, his rough palm brushed her face, and his eyes revealed a slight tenderness that had not appeared in eighteen years.
