After walking for a long time, I arrived at Yao Lao's retreat, Yao Lao went to the room first, and Chen Xiyuan and Puyang Haokun stayed in the courtyard to drink water.

"Xiyuan girl, come in and show me this medicine." Yao Lao's strong voice suddenly came out of the room, and he really didn't treat Chen Xiyuan as an outsider at all.

Chen Xiyuan and Puyang Haokun glanced at each other, both of them were a little helpless, Chen Xiyuan explained to Puyang Haokun: "Yao Lao has a quirk, he doesn't like outsiders to enter his house, and he doesn't know what treasures are hidden inside, you wait here first, I'll take a look." ”

It was rare to see that there were still people who Chen Xiyuan couldn't cure, Puyang Haokun smiled and waved his hand casually: "Go, I'll wait for you." ”

After entering the room and closing the door, Chen Xiyuan walked over, still complaining: "Alas, this girl is really a hard worker, let's say, what medicine." ”

Who knows, Yao Lao glared at her dissatisfiedly, but he just nodded towards the screen opposite, and then lowered his head and continued to study his medicinal materials.

Turning around suspiciously, Chen Xiyuan saw a person she couldn't have imagined behind the screen - Xie Wanjun.

"Why are you here?" Chen Xiyuan blurted out, and after finishing speaking, she remembered that Puyang Haokun was still in the yard, she hurriedly closed her voice, and cautiously glanced out, seeing that Puyang Haokun didn't seem to find anything wrong, she was relieved.

Fortunately, Puyang Haokun was not allowed to come in just now, but why was Xie Wanjun here at Yao Lao?

Without waiting for Xie Wanjun to answer Chen Xiyuan's words, Puyang Haokun's voice came from outside: "Chen Xiyuan." ”

Liu Yemei frowned slightly, and Chen Xiyuan whispered to Xie Wanjun: "Don't come out." And he stepped out of the room.

After closing the door carefully, Chen Xiyuan walked to the middle of the courtyard and looked at Puyang Haokun and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Xiyuan saw Puyang Haokun holding a piece of paper in his hand, presumably his subordinates sent him some news.

Sure enough, in the next second, Chen Xiyuan heard Puyang Haokun say with some embarrassment: "I have some urgent matters to deal with now, do you want to go back to Beijing with me now, or stay here?" ”

God really help me, Chen Xiyuan originally thought that after leaving Puyang Haokun for a while, he would have to find another reason to come to Yaolao here in a few days, but he didn't expect that Puyang Haokun would return to Beijing in advance now.

Chen Xiyuan turned his head and glanced at the direction of the medicine house, and said with some embarrassment on his face: "Yao Lao still has a few medicinal herbs that I can't figure out, I have to help him, you go back first, don't worry about me, I'll go back after I finish dealing with it." ”

"Okay, you take care of yourself, I'll have someone pick you up when I get back." Puyang Haokun nodded, whistled and summoned the horse he had ridden before and left, not even having time to say goodbye, it seemed that there was really something urgent.

Watching Puyang Haokun ride away on a horse, slowly turning into a point, Chen Xiyuan turned around and went back to the medicine house, Xie Wanjun was still standing in the position just now waiting for her, as soon as she walked over, she took her hand, and wanted to cry.

"Wanjun, don't cry, am I so ugly, you want to cry when you see me?" Chen Xiyuan said mischievously, Xie Wanjun was amused by her, and glared at her with disgust.

Seeing that Xie Wanjun's mood stabilized, Chen Xiyuan asked his doubts: "Wanjun, why are you here, shouldn't you be in the capital?" ”

When asked the key, Xie Wanjun's eyes instantly filled with tears again, she grabbed Chen Xiyuan's hand, and said with some eagerness: "Xiyuan, I know the news of the regent." ”

Regent, Gong Mu Shen.

Hearing this person again, it was already like a lifetime, during this time, Gong Mushen disappeared, Chen Xiyuan knew, but she deliberately didn't want to inquire about Gong Mushen's news, she didn't know what she really thought in her heart, so she could only choose to escape.

The sun shone on Chen Xiyuan's face, with a touch of incomprehensible depth, Xie Wanjun was a little afraid of Chen Xiyuan like this, she gently tugged at Chen Xiyuan's sleeve, and whispered: "Xiyuan, what's wrong with you?" Did I say something wrong? ”

The corners of his mouth hooked up a bitter smile, and Chen Xiyuan shook his head gently: "Fool, how could I be angry with you, but how can you know the whereabouts of Gong Mushen?" ”

Biting her lip, Xie Wanjun looked a little embarrassed, and after a while, she whispered: "It was Gu Changfeng who came to me, told me the news of Gong Mu Shen, and then asked me to tell you." ”

"Gu Changfeng? What did he tell me to do? Chen Xiyuan frowned, puzzled: "What is his idea?" ”

Hearing this, Xie Wanjun was a little hesitant, Chen Xiyuan's misunderstanding of Gu Changfeng and Gong Mushen was too deep, and it would not be solved in a while, but she still said: "Gu Changfeng hopes that you can go and see Gong Mushen." ”

Chen Xiyuan turned around and looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking, just when Xie Wanjun thought she was going to refuse, he heard her say, "Is it Gong Mushen himself who said that he wants to see me?" ”

Seeing that there was hope, Xie Wanjun hurriedly said, "Yes." In fact, it was purely made up, where did she know Gong Mu Shen's thoughts, Gu Changfeng hurriedly found her that day, just told her the news of Gong Mu Shen, and then told her to tell Chen Xiyuan and bring her.

Doing this at this time, Xie Wanjun didn't know if she was doing the right thing, she just didn't want Chen Xiyuan and Gong Mushen to miss it like this, in her opinion, the two of them were in love, so they should be with He Meimei, instead of torturing each other like now.

"Xi Yuan, no matter what, you go to meet him and have a good talk, maybe some things are different from what you imagined?" Xie Wanjun saw that Chen Xiyuan didn't speak for a long time, and was a little anxious, so she stepped forward and pulled her sleeve to persuade.

"Xiyuan girl, old man, I think what Wanjun girl said is reasonable, you are sometimes too stubborn, listen to other people's opinions, maybe you won't drill the horns, you always have to give others a chance, right?" The medicine elder tinkered with the medicinal herbs in his hand without raising his head, but it seemed that he had listened to what they had just said.

Looking at the half-dried medicinal herbs in the courtyard, Chen Xiyuan sighed and finally compromised: "Okay, I'll go see him, it's not a big deal." ”

The last sentence, I don't know whether to say it to Xie Wanjun and Yao Lao, or to herself, not so much to give Gong Mushen a chance, but to give herself a chance, a chance to let herself go.

"Then let's meet in the house in the back mountain, only Gong Mushen and I know that place, it is secret enough not to reveal his whereabouts." Chen Xiyuan proposed.

Xie Wanjun's beautiful eyebrows and eyes suddenly relaxed, looking at Chen Xiyuan smiling very happily, she hurriedly walked out of the medicine house, muttering as she walked: "I'm going to send a message to Gu Changfeng and ask them to wait in the house in the back mountain, he must be very happy." ”

Looking at Xie Wanjun's back, Chen Xiyuan's heart was a little heavy, would he really be happy, I hope so.

Puyang Haokun drove his horse and hurriedly walked in the direction of the capital, generally speaking, the queen sent him a message to send his father-in-law to the side, and today he suddenly used a carrier pigeon, Puyang Haokun was worried that something had happened in the palace, so he was so eager to return to the palace.

At this time, Lu Shangshu was drinking the best snow mountain blue tea in the queen's palace, swept the tea foam with the teacup lid, looked at the green tea, Lu Shangshu opened his mouth and praised: "There is really a lot of good tea in the queen's palace, this tea is green, the fragrance is strong, and it is not ordinary at first glance." ”

The queen sat on the top, embroidered with a soaring phoenix on the bright red palace dress, showing that she was noble, and the hand painted with good Danko caressed the teacup.

The face was gentle and gentle: "Where is Lu Shangshu, I am afraid that the collection in your house is more than the palace, this green tea is a new tribute to the palace, if you like it, you will bring a bag back to taste it later." ”

"In this case, the old minister will thank the queen for the reward." Lu Shangshu got up and thanked the queen and smiled like a fox.

The queen glanced at her maidservant, and the maid immediately walked down the steps to help Lu Shangshu up, and the queen said with a smile: "Why should Lu Shangshu be so polite, he will be his in-laws in the future." ”

Lu Shangshu laughed with him, and both of them looked very happy.

After going down to the court today, Lu Shangshu came directly to Kunning Palace and begged the queen to give Lu Qingyao and Puyang Haokun a marriage, saying that the little girl had admired the four princes for a long time, and hoped that the queen would be fulfilled.

Lu Qingyao and Puyang Haokun got married, which means that Puyang Haokun has obtained the power of Shangshufu, and the queen is naturally happy to see it, so there is a scene where she sends a message to Puyang Haokun and asks him to return to the palace quickly.

By the time Puyang Haokun arrived at the queen's palace, Lu Shangshu had already been gone for a long time, and the queen scolded him without waiting for him to salute: "Emperor, you are becoming more and more unruly, look at you like this, where do you still look like a prince?" ”

Thinking that Chen Xiyuan was still outside the city, Puyang Haokun didn't want to delay his efforts here, so he saluted and went straight to the point and asked, "Queen Mother, what's the urgency for you to summon your sons?" ”

"It's a big deal." The queen took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "This palace has just betrothed Lu Shangshu for you and Lu Qingyao, you go back and prepare for the wedding." ”

As if suddenly struck by lightning, Puyang Haokun enlarged his eyes and said loudly: "What did you say!" ”

The queen handed the teacup to the maid, frowned dissatisfiedly, and reprimanded: "Presumptuous, is this the attitude you have when you talk to the queen mother?" ”

Thinking about what the queen said just now that he was engaged to Lu Qingyao, where could Puyang Haokun still sit still, he clenched his fists and said word by word: "I will never marry Lu Qingyao." ”

"Presumptuous." The queen was trembling with anger by Puyang Haokun, and only after saying that she realized that there were other people in the hall, she looked at the maidservant beside her, and ordered: "You all go down." ”

When the maidservants all retreated, the queen asked, "Why?" If you don't want to marry Lu Qingyao, you have to give this palace a reason. ”

Reason? Puyang Haokun's face suddenly appeared with an expression that the queen had never seen before, whether it was yearning or gentleness: "Because, the person I want to marry can only be Chen Xiyuan, and my imperial concubine can only be her alone." ”
