Capital.

Xia Mingzhong rushed home from Nanqin, and it was almost sunset. Shen Hui really didn't sleep all night, and there was still a bright light in the room, waiting for him, the one who returned late.

Every time he comes home late, the lamp will come on.

Xia Mingzhong had said many times that he didn't have to wait for him, but next time, the lamp would still silently keep watch for him with its owner.

After entering the door, Xia Mingzhong took off his coat and hung it up as usual, and said lightly: "Now you can sleep with confidence, go to sleep." ”

Shen Hui sat quietly at the table, not getting up to meet him like usual, and she didn't move until Xia Mingzhong took off her shoes and finished changing her clothes.

Xia Mingzhong noticed her strangeness, looked at her strangely, and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The house is quiet, this is the life that Xia Mingzhong has become accustomed to, not only him, but Shen Hui has long been accustomed to this quiet home that makes people not feel the slightest warmth.

No matter what, this is still their home, a home where the two of them get along day and night and share the same bed.

Shen Hui's expression was very entangled, she wanted to speak and stopped struggling for a long time before she spoke: "Ming Zhong, you, where have you been?" ”

"Huh?" Xia Mingzhong didn't expect her to take the initiative to ask about her whereabouts, after they got married, Shen Hui was very self-aware and never interfered in his affairs, asking about his whereabouts, Xia Mingzhong was surprised, but still said: "Something, go out." ”

Shen Hui lowered her eyes and said, "It's not the prince's business, right?" He almost never assigns you tasks at night. ”

Xia Mingzhong sat on the edge of the bed and said, "What's the matter, is there anything going on at home?" ”

"It's fine." Shen Hui shook her head lightly and said, "There is nothing going on at home, everything is normal." ”

Xia Mingzhong let out a faint "oh", couldn't help yawning, and said, "Go to sleep, it's late." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the quilt and prepared to sleep, not wanting Shen Hui to call him again: "Ming Zhong." ”

"Huh?" Xia Mingzhong felt that she was really strange today, and couldn't help but look up again, only to see Shen Hui biting her lip, frowning and lowering her eyes a little sadly, and it took a long time before she spoke with difficulty: "Mingzhong, have you gone to Nanqin?" ”

This question made Xia Mingzhong's originally calm face have a slight expression, he didn't know what kind of expression he made, but he felt an embarrassment from the bottom of his heart that he was still found out by secretly doing something.

"Well, there's something about it, it's just over there in Nanqin." After Xia Mingzhong said this, he added a little weakness to his heart. He had no intention of deceiving Shen Hui about anything, not because of how deep the relationship between the husband and wife was, and what promises they made to each other to be honest with each other, but he never put Shen Hui on the tip of his heart, what he did or was going to do, even if Shen Hui knew, it didn't matter.

He doesn't care what she thinks in her heart, what she thinks is her business, and it can't affect him. Shen Hui also has a tacit understanding and never interferes in his affairs.

Xia Mingzhong didn't know why he answered like this, but apart from this answer, he couldn't think of any better answer.

Shen Hui sighed, silently walked to the bed, took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, and lay down quietly.

"Ming Zhong, can you hug me?" Shen Hui's voice was muffled, she had always been gentle and virtuous, dignified and self-respecting, this was the first time she had made such a request.

"You said you didn't want children, so I listened to you, but now, I'm your wife, Ming Zhong, and we lie in this bed together every day, but why, I always feel very lonely?"

Xia Mingzhong felt Shen Hui beside her move, and she curled up her body into a ball, looking thin and pitiful.

In the end, he owes her, after becoming a parent, he has never touched her, although the two have the name of husband and wife, but they have never been husband and wife, Shen Hui does not say it, it does not mean that she does not take it to heart. \./Hand\./Machine\./Edition\./None\./Error\./First\./Hair~~

Xia Mingzhong turned around, raised his hand, and wrapped her with both hands because he didn't know what to do, only then did he realize that her cold body was trembling slightly.

He hugged Shen Hui, and Shen Hui felt a trace of warmth, and his body was not so cold after a while. She asked again, "Is that sick friend of yours feeling better?" I asked someone to buy some tonics, do I need to get some more? ”

"Hmm." Xia Mingzhong closed his eyes and said, "If there is, it will be troublesome." (More exciting on the next page!) )

You pack some more, and I'll bring it to him next time I have time. ”

Shen Hui took a shuddering breath, with a slight cry in her voice, and said, "Isn't he still getting better?" It's been so long, and I haven't been able to get better after taking medicine? ”

Xia Mingzhong was already very tired, his mind was dizzy, and his voice was also light, sounding softly above her head: "His health is very poor, he will be sore and difficult to get off the ground on rainy days, and on windy days, he will cough and have a splitting headache...... That body can't stand any wind and sun...... You may have to rely on tonic medicine for the rest of your life. ”

Shen Hui listened to him say these words, and kept silently holding her breath, she was afraid that she would not be able to control her sobbing.

"That's really worrying." Shen Hui moved the corners of her mouth and said, "Ming Zhong, I will always pay attention to whether there are any nourishing good things, and when you are free, I will visit him more." ”

Xia Mingzhong was so tired that he was about to fall asleep, and he replied vaguely: "Well, okay." ”

The next day, Xia Mingzhong woke up, and there were already large and small bags of medicinal herbs and supplements on the table.

There was a noise outside, and he walked outside the door, only to see Shen Hui leading her subordinates to carry some things, and she herself was not idle, carrying three bundled black chickens.

"Why so many things?" Xia Mingzhong walked over and took the black chicken in her hand.

Shen Hui wiped the sweat from the corners of her forehead and said, "I went to buy these early in the morning, you can take them all." ”

Xia Mingzhong looked at a large number of things on the ground and said, "This is too much, right?" ”

Shen Hui carefully sorted out the supplements scattered on the ground, and said, "Not much, not much, these are all daily consumables, and they are very fast to eat." ”

Xia Mingzhong said: "Well, okay, I'll send it if I have time in the past two days." ”

He went into the house to wash up briefly, changed his clothes, and was about to go out, when Shen Hui stopped him again.

"Ming Zhong." She was not as restrained and hesitant as last night, but said heartily: "Actually, you don't have to hide it from me, I know it." ”

Xia Mingzhong turned around and saw Shen Hui smiling at him, and said softly: "The sick friend you said is none other than Jiang Xian, right?" ”

"I'm glad you can see him again." Shen Hui said: "If you can go to see him, it means that the knot in your heart is about to be untied, and he is willing to see you, this is a very good thing, you two are very good friends, aren't you?" ”

Shen Hui carefully stacked the tonic box on the ground and said, "Ming Zhong, if you want to visit him, go generously, we can't live Ah Xian, if you want to atone for your sins, you should also bring my share." I really want to go with you to see him...... But it doesn't seem to be able to, in case it irritates him again...... In short, tell me what you need, and I can still help. ”

Xia Mingzhong felt that his eyes were hot and his throat was dry, so he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Ah Hui." ”

Xia Mingzhong went to the Liuwang Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw King Ying drinking morning tea, he walked over, King Ying frowned unconsciously, covered his nose with his hand, and said, "Hmm, what a heavy smell of medicine, have you taken the medicine?" What's the smell of medicine? ”.

"It's not." Xia Mingzhong sniffed his sleeve and said, "It was Ah Hui who bought some tonic medicine for the family, I didn't touch it, how can it smell so heavy as you said?" ”

King Ying shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't the taste strong?" It may be that the new medicine I recently drank tasted so strange that my nose was so sensitive that I felt strong when I smelled anything. ”

Xia Mingzhong asked, "New medicine again?" Why didn't you say it earlier, I asked Ah Hui to help find the right one. ”

King Ying picked up the teacup, sniffed the fragrance of tea, and said: "No need, recently asked people to find a medicine farmer in the suburbs of Beijing, the medicine farmer died some time ago, and all the stalls were handed over to his daughter to manage, I see that she has a lot of medicinal materials there, anyway, she is taking those medicines back and forth, so she should do something good and help the family." ”

"Oh yes, the medicine farmer's daughter will come over in the afternoon to deliver the medicinal herbs." King Ying advised: "When the time comes, you will personally go and keep an eye on it, there are a few medicines that need to be stored and put away, and I don't worry about the people below." ”

Xia Mingzhong said: "Yes." ”

King Ying finished his morning tea and went in to rest, Xia Mingzhong sat in the front hall, waiting for the medicine farmer's daughter to bring the medicine, because he went home last night. (More exciting on the next page!) )

Late, I really didn't have a good rest, my mind was still groggy at this time, Xia Mingzhong sat for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously.

He not only fell asleep, but also had strange dreams, and dreamed that he had been running in the deep mountains and forests, and there were countless fierce mountain and forest beasts chasing him behind him, and he had nowhere to hide, so he could only fly to the trees, but the beast that wanted to eat people began to gnaw on the roots of the trees one by one, and the trees were gnawed and crumbling, and Xia Mingzhong could only watch the trees fall down on the trees, and he was planted from a high place......

Xia Mingzhong felt that his legs were weak, and he went to a mountain spring in the mountains again, his clothes were already stained with a lot of blood, and he was trying to find a place with water to clean the blood stains on his body, when he saw the mountain spring in front of him, he walked over happily, but saw that there was blood in the mountain spring, which was blood that had just flowed out, and the color was still bright red.

He walked on and on, and found a man in the spring, face down and back up, soaking in the water, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Curiosity prompted him to go over, and was about to reach out and turn the man over to see what was going on, when there was a call in his ear:

"My lord? My lord! Wake up, sir. ”

Xia Mingzhong was suddenly awakened by this call, and when he opened his eyes, he found a young woman standing young, wearing a light yellow cloth shirt with a grass green cloth skirt, and all clothes were of the cheapest kind of fabric.

Seeing that he was awake, the woman said, "I have come to bring medicine to the palace." ”

Xia Mingzhong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said impatiently: "Just stop at the door to deliver the medicine, if there is anything going on, someone will come in and spread the word, why did you run in by yourself without permission?" ”

The woman said innocently: "I stayed at the door for a long time, but I didn't see anyone, so I had to walk in by myself to find someone." ”

Xia Mingzhong walked out of the front hall and went to the gate to take a look, sure enough, the door was empty, and the little guy guarding the door didn't know where to run. He had no choice but to say: "You wait for me for a while, I'll go get a pen and paper and record the categories of medicinal materials in this car." ”

The woman stopped him and said with some pride: "Don't worry, my lord, I'm already ready." As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Xia Mingzhong, which listed in detail the categories, medicinal properties and quantities of all medicinal materials, the handwriting was not pretty, but it was neat, and the list was very beautiful.

He is an attentive person. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m

Xia Mingzhong couldn't help but glance at her more, and asked casually, "Are you the daughter of that medicine farmer in the suburbs of Beijing?" What is your name? ”

The woman hurriedly responded: "Yes, in the past, my father was basically responsible for transporting medicinal materials, but now that he is no longer there, he will leave it to me." My name is Jin Chan, and if there is anything in the future, the adults can just look for me. ”。
