Chapter 57: I'd rather misunderstand
Wei Chixuan walked out of the palace, glanced at the bright yellow holy decree in his hand, and secretly thought in his heart: I wanted to solve the matter here, and immediately go to Brother Ning Jiu Shang and them. But now it seems that it can only be postponed. If the rebellion is not completely quelled, the consequences will be unimaginable...... I don't know how much time it will take to encircle and suppress this encirclement. If he could, he wanted to take Che with him and stay away from his big brother's grasp. He asked the ancient eagle beside him:
"How's Che?"
"Although the poison has been resolved, His Royal Highness's body is already weak, and the imperial doctor said that it is still not suitable for strenuous exercise and sunshine."
"Hmm." Wei Chixuan frowned, and then ordered:
"Gu Ying, I'm going to the north to suppress the Kou, you stay. In my absence, make sure Che is safe. β
"Yes! Your Highness, be careful! β
"Hmm."
As soon as Wei Chixuan returned home, he saw Su Xuewu wearing a pale yellow moire pleated skirt on the water pavilion. She hooked her lips and stroked a bloody finch squatting in the palm of her hand with her fingertips. There was a group of servant girls around him, talking about something with great interest. Heh, I really don't think of myself as an outsider, and I got acquainted so quickly? Wei Chi secretly thought, pursed his lips, and was about to go back to the house, when Su Xuewu over there caught a glimpse of him, said something to the maidservant, and walked towards Yu Chixuan.
"Lord Wang, are the peonies in Che Ning Garden usually taken care of by subordinates?" Su Xue dressed herself and asked.
Yu Chixuan frowned, not knowing why.
"Yes."
"The concubine saw that the peony was growing well, but most of them did not bud, so she guessed that there should be too much rainy season this year, and the nutrients and sunshine could not keep up, so she only grew leaves and did not bloom." Su Xuewu said softly:
"The prince can ask his subordinates to make and buy some farm fertilizer, and then transplant the peony with soil on the inside of the wall to the center of the garden to ensure that the sun is exposed." Wei Chixuan was stunned by her series of suggestions: What did she want to do? Was it the prince who asked her to approach him? Still is...... But she, a young lady from an official family, how could she know this? Che'er has been fond of peonies since he was a child, so he specially bought some from the Western Regions and planted them in the yard for him to enjoy. There are so many things to worry about these days that I neglect them a little...... Regardless of her intentions, these suggestions sound like a good idea. He then said:
"Uncle Chen, send a few subordinates to do what the princess said."
"Yes, the old slave will do it."
"Ah...... Pain and pain" A servant girl suddenly screamed, Su Xuewu turned around, and saw that after the blood finch pecked the servant girl, she flapped her wings and flew up, rushing towards this side at a very fast speed. Yu Chixuan's eyebrows furrowed, and the sword was about to be unsheathed, but he heard Qingli's whistle sound, and the fluttering wings of the blood sparrow slowed down and stopped steadily on Su Xuewu's slender index finger. Seeing this, the maid holding the cage hurriedly rushed forward, Su Xuewu nodded the head of the blood sparrow, hooked her lips and said:
"The little one is so naughty."
The servant girl who was pecked saw that the blood sparrow frightened the prince and the princess, and she knelt down in fright, and said hesitantly:
"Wang ...... The prince, the mother, the slave and the maid should be damned, let the princess on the prince's side be frightened, the slave and the maid should be damned......" Su Xuewu frowned and glanced at Yu Chixuan: Is this guy so terrifying? Look scared a little girl.
"Seven days." Yu Chixuan said lightly. The slave and maid were pardoned, and they gasped for breath. Su Xuewu helped her up, gestured to her side, and admonished:
"You remember to go to the store and buy some sore medicine for Sheng'er and apply it, otherwise you will get infected." Several people nodded hurriedly.
"Thank you...... Thank you, Niangniang......" The gentle voice made the maid's horror turn into tears and flow. As soon as Su Xuewu wanted to comfort, she listened to Wei Chi Xuan say:
"Come on." She was stunned for a moment, patted the maidservant on the back, and said softly:
"Don't cry."
As soon as she closed the door of the study, she heard Wei Chixuan say:
"What does he want?" He didn't know why he would ask such a stupid question: if an undercover agent would tell the enemy his purpose, he probably wouldn't live long. He felt a pang of irritability in his heart, and quickly rubbed the jade wrench of his thumb.
Su Xuewu raised her eyebrows, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes:
"Him?"
Yu Chixuan snorted coldly and said lightly:
"Stop pretending, you're an undercover agent sent by my eldest brother, aren't you?"
"The concubine doesn't understand what the prince is talking about." She paused, looking into his dark eyes:
"But the concubine is indeed a concubine, and she has something to ask for." Wei Chixuan was surprised in his heart: ...... is she Admit it? In that case, why didn't she admit that she was undercover?
"Does the prince have dragon bell flowers?"
The dragon bell flower is an extremely valuable herb, the petals are highly poisonous, and the detoxification is just its sepals.
"What do you want it for?"
"Save people." Su Xuewu replied. Yu Chixuan frowned, and secretly judged the truth of her words in his heart: the dragon bell flower is extremely difficult to maintain, and it blooms once a year, and after being folded, it can only be stored in ice cubes and refrigerated to ensure its medicinal effect; If the flower is separated from the calyx, the whole plant will wither in an instant. The dragon bell flower he knew was in his father's back garden, and with the relationship between the two of them now, it was extremely difficult to ask him to take it. And even if he gave the herbs to Su Xuewu, he couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't collude with the prince and use it to make poison to harm herself.
"I can't give it to you." Yu Chixuan said. Su Xuewu frowned and asked rhetorically:
"Why?"
"You should know very well."
Su Xuewu pondered for a moment, and suddenly said:
"Lord Wang, do you have any misunderstanding about the concubine?" A trace of doubt flashed in Wei Chixuan's eyes, and then he said lightly:
"Perhaps, but this king would rather misunderstand." I'd rather misunderstand, than let Che or himself still need to protect him, there is the slightest danger. Su Xuewu clenched her fists, she took a step forward, looked at Yu Chixuan quietly with clear and clear eyes, and her pink lips lightly opened:
"Although I don't know where this misunderstanding came from, the prince should not be too wary of an ordinary woman because of the throne regime."
"You? An ordinary woman? Yu Chixuan raised his eyebrows.
"I am." Su Xuewu looked at him directly, and the openness in her apricot eyes made Wei Chixuan doubt her judgment a little. He suddenly felt excited, Su Xuewu saw this, and bowed:
"The prince is tired, and the concubine will retire first."
β¦β¦
"Dye, why?" Wu Ming asked as she played with the bottle in her hand.
"When the time comes, you will know." He leaned against the railing of the water pavilion and squinted pleasantly, a smile rising into the corners of his mouth.
"You're always like that, I can warn you, don't go overboard and backfire."
"Don't worry."
With a "ding" sound, a metal object fell to the ground, looked at the ground, and said slowly:
"Ahh Wu Ming glanced at the ground, shook his head and smiled:
"It's really fun, let's go." As soon as the words fell, he turned around and walked down the water pavilion.
"Which bad luck will it be......" The heavenly murmur was quickly dispersed by the bustling crowd and disappeared into the air.
On the other hand, the emperor of Yuguo, who was privately visited by Weifu, and his graceful Concubine Xi Niangniang were enjoying the scenery by the lake.
"Your Majesty'......"
"Hey, didn't you say yes? Today is your birthday, so let's be the most ordinary couple, don't be so angry, my lady. Dugubu pinched Chu Qianxi's nose, and the beauty immediately fell into his arms shyly.
ββ¦β¦ Husband, this lake is so beautiful. The concubine thinks so much, she will accompany her husband forever and forever, and see the mountains and rivers of the world. β
"Okay, that's it. Every year on your birthday, we go to travel through the mountains and rivers; By the time you reach the age of one hundred or two hundred, we will probably be able to travel through most of the Shenzhou Continent......"
Chu Qianxi sneered and said:
"Is the husband really joking? How could a concubine live so long? Even if it's true, by then, you will already become a stinky old woman, and you definitely don't want to be a concubine. Dugu Bu tightened his hand around his slender waist:
"Yes, how could not. In my heart, Madame will always be as delicate as when I first met. No matter what happens, it will not change. Chu Qianxi's eyes shone brightly, gently surrounded him, and looked at the lake comfortably.
"Ah, is that a white cormorant? Let's go check it out! She suddenly said excitedly.
"Okay, it's up to you." Dugubu smiled dotingly, and the person beside him heard this, happily lifted Luo's skirt, ran over, and reached out to tease the white cormorant. Seeing her bouncing, Dugubu stretched out her hand to protect her:
"Madame, beware, don't wait a little longer to go down and be with the fish. I'm going to be jealous. β
"Hiss......" Chu Qianxi suddenly stumbled, Dugubu hurriedly supported her, frowned and asked:
"What's wrong?" The stinging pain seemed to be instantaneous, Chu Qianxi shook her head and said:
"It's okay, maybe I ran too fast, and my feet hurt a little." When Dugubu heard this, he suddenly hugged her, and when he heard a burst of exclamations from the beautiful woman, he laughed:
"Madame is tired, let me hold you." Chu Qianxi smiled shyly, and her cheeks suddenly rose.
β¦β¦
There was a low cry in the empty mourning hall, and the white silk flew in the wind, rolling up the scattered white chicks on the ground and sprinkling them on a coffin in the center of the main hall.
A pair of big hands full of years of wrinkles gently rubbed the coffin, and a hoarse and rough voice sounded:
"Xi'er, you're still so young, how is it possible, how can you... Obviously a few days ago...... I know, you must still be complaining about me, you complaining about me, you don't take care of our only child. Now, are you doing this to punish me...... I won't allow it, you won't be allowed to leave without my permission! Forbid!!! Dugu Butong's eyes were red, he roared out of control, his hands touching the coffin trembled slightly, and the queen standing beside him frowned distressedly, reached out to caress his back, and comforted softly:
"Your Majesty, please mourn and take care of the dragon's body...... The concubine believes that if Sister Chu had a spirit in the sky, she would not want you to be so ......"
After a cup of tea, Dugubu slowly got up, and his trembling voice echoed in the entire mourning hall:
"Proclaim the decree."
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Concubine Chu of today's Xi family, temperament and softness, Lan quality and Hui heart, virtuous and virtuous, respectful and prudent, throughout his life, long companion to the king's side, special side of the imperial concubine, buried in the imperial mausoleum, Qin thisββ"
"Stand down, I'm going to be alone with Xi'er for a while." Shang Jin and Mu Ningjiu bowed and walked out of the mourning hall with the concubines and ministers.
