Chapter Seventy-Seven: Sneaking Away
Although Bai Zixu had been prepared in his heart, he was still a little surprised when he heard Mu Ruoxue's answer so neatly.
"So, what is your relationship with the king?" Bai Zixu asked again, carefully observing Mu Ruoxue's expression.
Mu Ruoxue thought a little in her heart when she heard the word "relationship", what is the relationship between her and Li Luo now? Although Li Luo confessed to her yesterday, they shouldn't be lovers!
After thinking about it, he said, "Partnership." ”
Bai Zixu didn't have any thoughts about Mu Ruoxue's answer, and said: "King Liwang is also investigating Su Xinlan's matter now, and he also has some information in his hands, did he also ask you anything?" ”
"When I was in the pharmacy yesterday, Liwang did ask me about Su Xinlan, and I told Liwang about me and Cailian going to treat Miss Su's illness together, because I didn't know anything else, so I didn't say anything else." Mu Ruoxue looked at Bai Zixu's unshy way, with a natural expression on her face.
Bai Zixu saw that Mu Ruoxue answered so naturally, and he no longer had a problem with Mu Ruoxue in his heart, he thought that Mu Ruoxue would not tell him so calmly.
"What's the matter, does the prince have anything else to ask?" Mu Ruoxue looked at Bai Zi and said lightly, with an admittedly face.
"Oh, it's nothing, many things in the court are very complicated and involve a lot, I have my own reasons for asking this rashly today, don't mind." Bai Zixu looked at Mu Ruoxue and smiled.
"I don't know anything about the court, but I know you're my friend, so there's nothing to hide from you!" Mu Ruoxue said with a smile.
When Bai Zi heard this, he was much relieved.
After that, Bai Zixu said that he had something to do, and left after drinking the tea.
At this time, a white pigeon landed on Mu Ruoxue's table, and a small bamboo tube containing letters was tied to the pigeon's leg.
Mu Ruoxue gently took down the letter on the pigeon's feet, and saw that it was Li Luo's handwriting, which read: Come and leave the palace quickly.
Mu Ruoxue held the note, a little puzzled, could it be that Li Luo's illness had flare up again? After thinking about it, it was impossible, if Li Luo's illness flared up again, it must be Dark Wind who came to invite her, and it was absolutely impossible to send her a message.
But Mu Ruoxue didn't think much about it, after all, the third article in the three chapters of the last covenant was that no matter when, as long as Li Luo asked her to go out, she had to go.
Mu Ruoxue went straight to King Li's Mansion, and as soon as she walked to the garden, she saw Li Luo, who had been waiting there for a long time, with a few petals on his shoulder.
"Is there anything the prince is looking for me?" Mu Ruoxue looked at Li Luo and said lightly.
"Have you forgotten what we just made an appointment yesterday?" Li Luo looked at Mu Ruoxue with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"We ...... Why did the prince suddenly send gifts to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Mu Ruoxue heard Li Luo mention yesterday's incident, and she thought of a lot of things he sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and claimed to be a dowry!
"Didn't the king make it very clear? It was part of the king's dowry. Li Luo looked at Mu Ruoxuedao.
"I didn't promise to marry you!" Mu Ruoxue Road.
"So this king only gave a part, and when you like me, I will make up all the rest of the dowry." Li Luo looked at Mu Ruoxue with an expression of "it should be like this".
Mu Ruoxue looked at Li Luo and was a little dumbfounded, she couldn't understand Li Luo's brain circuit.
"That, just now Bai Zixu went to me and said that you were also investigating Su Xinlan's affairs, and asked me what I told you." Mu Ruoxue simply changed the topic.
After Li Luo heard this, there was no other expression on his face, he still had a calm face, and said: "I have to go to inspect the fiefdom every year, and this year's time is almost up, you can go with me!" ”
Li Luo also changed the topic at all, and directly skipped what Mu Ruoxue said.
"Patrol the fiefdom! I'm not going! Mu Ruoxue refused, she wanted to go to Miyun Peak with You Yi to avoid Li Luo, but now if she followed him to inspect the fiefdom, wouldn't she have to be with him every day!
"Why not?" Li Luo asked with a frown.
"It's a long way to the fiefdom, and I want to stay in the capital." Mu Ruoxue Road.
"The reason why Bai Zixu went to look for you today is because I and the royal family are trying to win over the Su family, and now that Bai Zixu has gone to find you, I know that you are also related to this matter, if you have been staying in the capital, then you are afraid that you will not be able to push it off in the future." Li Luo looked at Mu Ruoxue and said lightly, his eyes looked at the sky in the distance as he spoke.
Mu Ruoxue heard the words but didn't speak, of course she knew this, so she wanted to go to Miyun Peak with the You Doctor also had this reason, this matter was related to the interests of the royal family, if it was involved, it would be difficult to entangle, maybe Concubine Rou would use this to attack their Mu family at that time.
Although he is not afraid of trouble, he has to attack people all day long, and he is always in spirit, Mu Ruoxue really dislikes this kind of life.
"And this is also an opportunity to take advantage of our relationship these days to make you like me!" Li Luo said again.
When Mu Ruoxue heard that Li Luo was involved in this matter again, she was not only a little speechless, but she only felt that Li Luo was difficult, and said, "I won't like you!" ”
"I see that you are obviously duplicitous, obviously you have always liked me in your heart, but you don't admit it!" Li Luo looked at Mu Ruoxue and said with a smile.
"I don't have it, I really don't know where the prince got the confidence to say that." Mu Ruoxue frowned and looked at Li Luo.
"Okay, after talking for so long, you must be hungry too, I'll prepare a meal and come over for a little bit!" Li Luo looked at Mu Ruoxue and said with a smile, looking at Mu Ruoxue's appearance, his eyes were full of happiness.
Immediately, Li Luo brought up all the dishes he had made himself.
And Mu Ruoxue glanced at the dishes on the table, not only frowned, how could the cooking skills of the chefs in the palace still be so poor. The presentation of these dishes today is still the same as the one she had when she was eating in Liwangfu a few days ago, it was not exquisite at all, and he was a little hard to imagine how Li Luo could let such a cook continue to stay in Liwangfu!
"Lord Wang, you are usually such a delicate person, why are you so generous to your cook!" Mu Ruoxue took a bite of the dish and put it in her mouth, looking at Li Luodao.
The taste of this dish is not particularly good, although it is okay for her, but Mu Ruoxue really can't imagine that Li Luo will also eat this meal.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? Li Luo was puzzled, what does cooking by himself have to do with his cook?
"You're usually such a picky person, your chef's dishes are not very exquisite, you didn't drive him away, isn't that generous?" Mu Ruoxue looked at Li Luodao while eating.
Li Luo's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he was disgusted again!
"Also, you don't have to ask your cook to prepare lunch for me in the future, his cooking is not as delicious as the food in the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Mu Ruoxue said again.
Li Luo listened to Mu Ruoxue's words, his face was a little ugly, and he casually put a chopstick dish into his mouth, and said in his heart: "It's not that bad!" ”
And Mu Ruoxue saw that Li Luo also took a bite, and the expression on his face was not very good, thinking that he also thought that this dish was not delicious, and said: "Although your chef's cooking skills need to be improved, you don't have to dislike him so much!" ”
Li Luo only felt speechless when she heard this, looking at Mu Ruoxue for a while, she didn't know what to say for a while, but she was a little unhappy, and the dishes she personally made for Mu Ruoxue were actually disgusted by her again.
However, seeing that although Mu Ruoxue said so, she had been eating, and she was not so angry in her heart, so she picked up chopsticks and helped Mu Ruoxue add a lot of dishes.
After eating, Mu Ruoxue still wanted to go to the You Doctor and tell the You Doctor that she was going to go to Miyun Peak with him, but she just wanted to open her mouth when she heard Li Luo say: "The matter of going to the fiefdom is three days later, you go back and prepare well, I will pick you up then!" ”
Suddenly, Mu Ruoxue felt that it was better to write to the doctor after she went back, so as not to be suspected by Li Luo again, thinking of this, Mu Ruoxue did not delay much from the palace, and went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion directly.
As soon as he returned to his hospital, he went back to his room and wrote a letter to Doctor You, and then found Gu Dianyi.
"This is my letter to the traveling doctor, you can find a way to help me deliver the letter to the traveling doctor." Mu Ruoxue looked at Gu Dian.
Gu Dian nodded, did not hesitate, took the letter and left.
Then, Mu Ruoxue began to pack her luggage simply, she told the doctor that she would wait for him at the ferry tonight, and the two of them met at the ferry tonight, and then left by boat.
Not long after, when night fell, Mu Ruoxue changed into simple clothes, secretly stuffed a letter into Mu Hanyun's room, and then sneaked out through the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
didn't dare to delay along the way, and went directly to the ferry, but what made Mu Ruoxue puzzled was that it had reached the appointed time, and the traveling doctor had not yet appeared, could it be that she was delayed by something?
Mu Ruoxue decided to wait and see, and finally when it was almost dawn, a figure appeared in the distance, and Mu Ruoxue was overjoyed.
