Chapter Seventy-Seven: Worried
When Situ Xi was sent back to the house by the carriage and horse sent by the palace, Zhong Lixuan was standing alone in front of the courtyard gate and waiting.
The moment she saw Situ Xi, she rushed into his arms and gave him a hug regardless of others, and then examined Situ Xi's body with her somewhat reddened eyes, asking him if he was injured.
"Let the lady worry, I'm not hurt, just a little tired."
Before he came back, he also sent Zhong Limo back, and reported the situation to Zhong Limo by the way, Qixian also returned to his temporary house at this time, and he said that he had something to talk to Mu Juzheng.
"Fuyu Gongzi, Your Majesty's reward will be issued tomorrow, our family's task is completed, if the prince has no other instructions, our family will return to the palace."
The one who drove Situ Xi back on a horse was a father-in-law, he was not tall, his name was Huaiqiu, and he had the same surname as the old eunuch next to Emperor Chu who he saw in the palace.
"Thank you for your father-in-law, it's a lot of trouble." Situ Xi gave Zhong Lixuan a look, and the latter immediately understood, took out a silver ticket and handed it to Situ Xi, and then Situ Xi quietly stuffed it into the hands of Gonggong Huai.
Glancing at the denomination of the silver ticket, the father-in-law was startled, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Don't bother, don't bother! Childe is really too polite, our family is just the duty. Father-in-law's words suddenly increased, "Childe has encountered a dangerous situation today, presumably everyone in the family will be as worried as Mrs., Childe should go into the house as soon as possible to report his safety." ”
"In this way, I won't send my father-in-law down."
"Huh! Childe, please stop. Huai Ke raised his hand to stop Situ Xi's politeness, he turned around and got on the horse, suddenly thought of something, and quietly told Situ Xi: "It's not too late today, if the son needs to go out in person to do something, it's best to deal with it today, it may be a little inconvenient in the next few days......"
After speaking, he said goodbye and returned to the palace, but Situ Xi didn't know what he meant by this.
"Xianggong, you must bring some accompanying guards ......when you go out in the future," Zhong Li was only halfway through his words, but Situ Xi could feel that his hand was being squeezed tightly by her.
"I see." Situ Xi also pinched her slender hand in turn.
In the final analysis, it is better to reduce contact with Zuo Mingli and other royal families, after today's incident, Situ Xi really felt the complexity of the Chu royal family.
……
The people in Xuan'an City were a little panicked, many people were blocked at the north gate, and there were several more officers and soldiers guarding the city than in the past.
The city was suddenly sealed, and people couldn't help but speculate that something terrible had happened in the city.
"What the hell is going on? The old man has an urgent matter to go out of the city, but he can't delay! ”
"Hey, don't think about it today, old man, seeing this posture, it is estimated that no one will be released in the next few days."
"This son, do you know why the city is being closed now?"
"Have you heard that thieves ransacked the streets of Yuxin Street this morning? How many shops are said to have been set on fire? Reputedly...... Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went there......"
Talking like this spread throughout the city, and while the people were talking and laughing, they couldn't help but feel worried about their own safety, and people were panicked for a while.
Several women with harps walked through the streets of the city behind a cart of oxen hauling goods, and they were able to return to the city before the gates were sealed.
After another journey, the ox cart stopped at the gate of Jinsefang.
"Sister Hua, Childe has returned to the house, and he seems to be fine." A woman with a delicate face stood beside Hua Shaoying, this was a new face that Situ Xi had never seen before, it seemed that after Chaoyun and the others were asked to leave, Hua Shaoying called a new assistant.
"That's good, that's good." Hua Shaoying breathed a sigh of relief, she also received a message from her subordinates, what happened on Yuxin Street was too eye-catching, and the incident happened suddenly, and they had no relevant information at all.
Because they knew that Situ Xi had also gone there, Chaoyun and the others rushed to inform Hua Shaoying as soon as they knew about the changes that had happened in Dongshi.
"Are Fluttering Butterflies and Azuki back? Tell them to protect the safety of the Nine Kings. ”
"Sister Hua, I'll let them know when they come back."
Hua Shaoying nodded, Fluttering Butterfly and Chaoyue were considered slightly skilled women in the Jinse Pavilion.
"Forget it, show me the list." Hua Shaoying didn't think about it anymore, she changed her state, and cheered up to ask the beautiful woman for a piece of paper.
"Fifteen taels of sulfur, five taels of grass aconite, and fourteen ......taels of smoke and nitrate," Hua Shaoying read while pulling her hair behind her ears, wondering why there were so many poisons in these things that Situ Xi bought, "Have you confirmed it, are all medicinal materials purchased according to this ratio?" ”
"That's right, I bought it from different shops in other cities, and finally invited some pharmacists to pretend to go into the city to deliver goods."
"I know, it's a good job, you can take these silver tickets and jewelry, take them and share them with them, it's all hard work." Flower Shaker lit the smoker on the table with a fire breaker, picked up the list, and threw it into the furnace.
"Yes!"
The beautiful woman turned around and retreated, Hua Shaoying rubbed her head, walked to the desk in the room, picked up a piece of letter paper, dipped the pen in ink, and put it into writing.
……
In the courtyard of his home, Situ Xi was surrounded by several women.
"Uncle, next time you go out again, but you must bring the slave maid, today is worried about us, Miss immediately went back to the house to ask to see the master after receiving the news, and asked the slave to inform Uncle Mu, although in the end it didn't help......"
Situ Xi felt the kindness of the whisper, but if there was really such a dangerous thing to do next time, he would not bring this girl with him, maybe after taking her, the scene would be even more chaotic.
"It's okay, those people aren't coming for me." Situ Xi motioned for them not to worry too much.
"Lady, we'll talk about the specifics later."
However, seeing the melancholy in Zhong Lixuan's eyes, Situ Xi knew that he had consumed a lot of her mind today.
Mu Ju is the curtain guest, not a guard, if Situ Xi has something to do with him, he will not hesitate to carry it out, but he will not follow him all day long, this is also what the two said before, Situ Xi is just going to the street to shop today, and everyone may not have thought that his life may be in danger.
Zhong Liwu also went to see Zhong Liwu, he had heard Zhong Liwu say before, she didn't want to talk to Zhong Liwu, it seems that she was really a little scared today.
"Miss Su, I heard your lady say it yesterday, you live here first during this time, don't worry about the rest first, you finish the ink embroidery for us first, I'm in a hurry." Situ Xi looked at the two sisters of the Su family and opened his mouth to change the topic.
"Ah, Childe, we're already stepping up our efforts." When Su Heluo heard Situ Xi opening his mouth to urge them to embroider, he immediately put the troubles in his heart behind.
"That's good, by the way, what about the chow chow that King Geng sent? Let's give it a name. ”
