He raised his hand against Xue Yuxiao's chin, wanting to face the other party. As soon as her finger touched her, she heard her brother-in-law say: "It's just a little bit beautiful, is it true that people are guilty of their appearance?" Shiro, don't embarrass others. ”

Xie Budo's brows furrowed even tighter, and he had a very strange feeling. Although this person was not the one he liked, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity...... If the eyebrow peak is a little lower, the lips are not so bright, and the complexion is healthier......

Tomorrow sunset red should be full of paths (2)

Chapter 63

Xie Budo's gaze stayed for too long, so long that Cui Jinzhang subconsciously moved half a step over, completely blocking him from the other side.

His attitude was so nervous, Xie Si felt even more curious, his eyes couldn't help but pause on Cui Qilang, and he said in his heart - there seems to be something greasy in this? Although this little squire is too beautiful, when you look closely, it looks a little like ...... Like Xue ......

Hiss. Xie Budo's thoughts were interrupted, and he felt a little ridiculous. He chuckled, sat back beside Xue Minghuai, and watched Cui Jinzhang sort out the prescriptions he had prescribed a few days ago. On the side, the servant of the Jiaofang Hall had already taken out the recent diet booklet, the list of several tonic medicines he had eaten, and a handful of decoction of the medicine at the bottom of the furnace.

Cui Jinzhang checked them one by one, and made sure that Xue Minghuai took the medicine obediently according to his instructions, and his mood gradually relaxed, and even thought that he was much more honest than his sister. He took the pulse of Feng Jun, but he didn't come to a conclusion as quickly as usual.

This is not that Feng Jun's physical condition has deteriorated, but that Doctor Cui Xiao is meditating, pondering how to show an expression of "wanting to speak and stopping". When he thought about it carefully, he happened to frown and hesitate, so that Xie Budo next to him slowly became suspenseful, and just as he was about to ask, Cui Jinzhang spoke.

"The situation...... The situation is complicated. Cui Qidao, "Please also ask Feng Jun to order everyone in the Jiaofang Hall to avoid it, and also ask the Fourth Highness to avoid it first?" ”

Xie Bu asked: "I can't listen either?" ”

Cui Qi nodded firmly: "As long as Yulang and I leave a medicine note, no one else can be present." What I'm going to say about recuperating my body is...... The secrets in the inner curtain room, others should not listen well. ”

This is quite misleading.

Xie Budo's gaze was on him, thinking that Cui Jinzhang looked so innocent and pure, but he didn't expect that opening his mouth was the "secret of the inner curtain...... He must have inherited Ge Xianweng's secret technique in the room, could it be that he wanted to teach the technique that would make the woman want to stop? It doesn't have to be a trick to please your brother-in-law.

Xie Budo pursed his lips, feeling that Feng Jun should refuse. He was about to speak, but he didn't expect Xue Minghuai to agree, turned his head and said, "Shilang, you take them all down." Wait for Dr. Xiao Cui to finish speaking before coming in and waiting. ”

Xie Si looked slightly stunned. It's a bit of a bizarre situation today...... He was puzzled, and there were several broken clues and thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't connect these subtle clues into a thread for the time being, and he couldn't see the truth behind it.

Xue Minghuai spoke, Xie Budo took down a thick cloak from the screen of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains next to him, his eyes swept over the servants serving in the hall, raised his finger and gestured, and then said: "I'll go for a walk outside, if anything happens, send someone to call me under the verandah." ”

Xue Minghuai looked at him and nodded.

The attendants rushed out, and a close attendant carefully closed the doors and windows to prevent some "private matters" from being leaked out by the auditors, affecting the reputation of Fengjun Chitose. After a while, only Xue Minghuai, Cui Jinzhang, and the "Yulang" behind him were left in the room.

Cui Jinzhang achieved his goal, obviously relieved, he pressed his chest, felt his rapid heartbeat gradually subside, and said, "This can always be spoken, right?" ”

Xue Minghuai's gaze passed through him and fell on the figure of the person behind him. Xue Yuxiao was no longer restrained and disguised, took a step forward, looked at the eldest brother, and said face to face: "I have already sent someone to do what my brother explained last time. All the best. ”

Although Xue Minghuai had some speculation, he couldn't help but stiffen slightly when he heard her low voice. His gaze fell on Xue Yuxiao's face, his eyes were both worried and pitiful, and he sighed lightly and said: "I deceived Shiro last time, and now I lied to him again." If I hadn't been deaf and blind, I would have been deceived by you. …… Although the matter is urgent, it is too risky to enter the palace, how can you be ruthless to think of this step? ”

Xue Yuxiao was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Xie Budo to even tell her eldest brother about meeting Mingyue's master in the Danqing Pavilion, and the relationship between the two seemed to be better than she imagined. She gathered her thoughts and replied intently: "This matter cannot be entrusted to others, let alone let it be told orally, the stakes are very high, and I must come to see my brother in person." In addition to this, there are other serious things to ask. ”

Xue Minghuai immediately said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Xue Yuxiao had already finished the draft and said: "The guards in the palace ban change shifts every two hours, a total of six times, a total of three shifts. This is on the surface, and you can find out with a little inquiry. But I think with the prudence of His Majesty, I am afraid that it will not only be these people on the surface, do you know what other people she has? ”

"The sixteen guards of Jingzhao are all headed by His Majesty, but they all have their own close clans." Xue Minghuai said, "You guessed right, in addition to the guards, there are also her Ziwei guards patrolling the palace, and the time, place, and number of these guards are only in Xie Fu's hands, which is a secret." It is said that Ziweiwei pickets lawlessness and maintains stability, and if someone whose whereabouts are mysterious and unidentified appears in the palace, they have the right to cut first and then play. ”

He paused, looked at Xue Yuxiao and said, "These people are also secretly investigating the secrets of the actions of the hundred officials of the imperial court and the big families. ”

Xue Yuxiao pondered in his mind for a moment, paced and asked, "This function sounds familiar...... It's about the same as Captain Sili. ”

Xue Minghuai nodded slightly and said, "Exactly." Two days ago, she canonized your lieutenant Si Li, who is below Jiuqing and above all of you. In order to picket cases related to the imperial family, Emperor Wu specially set up this position. However, what Your Majesty has entrusted to you is the power to impeach and supervise the nobles, and the palace is not among them. ”

The leader of Ziweiwei is held by the Xie clan, and he looks like an idle official next to the emperor, like this position to protect himself, Xie Fu will only give it to people he trusts and does not look outstanding.

"Today's Ziwei Commander is a clan...... Xie Si, the word is crazy. She is a side branch of the Xie clan, and she entered Jingzhao from Chen County three years ago to prepare for the selection and evaluation of the central officials. Because his talent and qualifications are not outstanding, he was arranged to enter Ziweiwei......" Xue Yuxiao recalled and muttered to himself, "Brother, if I make a big move, what do you think...... How will Your Majesty treat you? ”

Xue Minghuai rolled up his sleeves and poured her a cup of tea, the tea was sweet and mellow, but it was a little colder. He didn't hesitate too much about this question, and exuded a trace of calm indifference that did not correspond to his words at all, as if it didn't matter: "Xie Fu has a will—it's not a secret, she showed it to me herself." No matter which of the courtiers plotted against and usurped the throne, if she died, the Sixteen Wei and Ziweiwei would give the death of the harem monarchs on behalf of the emperor, so that they would not be defiled and protect the name of the servants. ”

Xue Yuxiao frowned and said, "Feng Jun can't be exempt? ”

Xue Minghuai smiled slightly and said, "Why did you come up with a stupid word?" Even if everyone can be exempted, I can't be exempt, and it is reasonable that I should be exempt. This will was originally set up to secretly deter the wealthy family, except for the prime minister, our family is the first-class wealthy family, why do you think she showed me? ”

But for many years, this news has never been transmitted back to the Xue family, not known to Xue Sikong, and has not appeared in any of Xue Minghuai's family letters.

It's really confusing. Xue Yuxiao raised his hand to support his forehead, rearranged his thoughts, took a slight sip of the tea in the cup, and said, "If Xie Ruo dies, who will take over her position?" ”

Xue Minghuai said: "I'm afraid it's still the Xie clan." ”

Xue Yuxiao went to Chen County when he broke off, and now the royal family is from the Xie family of Chen County, but the daughter of the big sect succeeded to the throne as the emperor, and the side branch of the small sect stayed in Chen County in the name of the clan. When she went to check her registration, Chen Jun Xie did not deceive or report it, and she was very cooperative...... Presumably, they received His Majesty's "family letter" and treated Qincha as their own for the time being, so it was relatively smooth.

Xue Yuxiao recalled several Chen Jun Xie clan relatives he had seen, if the current leader died, the one with the best chance of taking over this position was ...... One is Xie Si's sister Xie Ruoqing, and the other is her cousin Xie Ruoyu......

"I understand...... Xue Yuxiao had a plan in his heart, and asked again, "If Your Majesty has any three longs and two shorts, can there be a concubine in the palace who can prepare for the succession?" ”

Xue Minghuai sighed: "It's all still in infancy." ”

Xue Yuxiao was not disappointed: "It's just right." ”

The two of them stopped at the point and stopped talking more carefully. Xue Yuxiao turned to ask, "What are Xie Ruoyu's preferences?" If the eldest brother knows, tell me, and it's okay if you don't know, I can ask the officialdom about it. ”

It's just that people in officialdom are used to disguising their preferences and hiding their weaknesses. Even if Xie Ruonian really has any preferences, I'm afraid she won't show it for Xie Fu's safety. Her sense of existence in the court was so low that Xue Yuxiao didn't even think of her name at first.

Xue Minghuai said: "...... This is ...... Shiro told me once, but I don't know if it's true or not, so you can listen to it. ”

Xue Yuxiao nodded.

"When you were outside the examination, I was unwell, and the palace was not very clean. At that time, there was a palace attendant and a guard who had an affair outside, and Shiro bumped into him. However, Shiro was so playful that not only did he not come forward to catch it, but he also ordered someone to draw it from the side and give it to the guard. The man was so frightened that he immediately begged him for mercy. Shiro asked him if he had any useful news to spice up his mood, and the guards said that the leader of their family was serious on the surface, but in fact he was very beautiful, and he often sneaked into the willow alley of the flower boat with a mask to have fun. Xue Minghuai paused, shook his head and said, "Shiro laughed when he heard this, and he didn't blackmail him with this matter. Instead, he turned his head and told me. ”

Xue Yuxiao: "...... He's ......."

Time flies, and the two have been talking for a while. Xue Yuxiao didn't want to close the door for too long, so he agreed with him on several contact methods, and said: "I will act carefully, so as not to startle the snake." ”

She was going to go over and open the window to signal the end of the conversation.

"Wait." Xue Minghuai stopped her and let Xue Yuxiao come over. He stared at the third sister for a moment and said, "Be cautious, you can't do today's dangerous moves." …… You have lost a lot of weight outside, and you look a lot thinner than you did on the Thousand Autumn Festival, and you should be plump in winter. ”

He raised his hand, Xue Yuxiao looked at his fingertips, and saw that the end fingertips were gently pressed against his face, touching a little white incense powder. Xue Minghuai shook his head and sighed, "Dressed like this, I can't see what the complexion is." ”

With that, he withdrew his hand.

Although his concern is subtle and indifferent, it is not the same as the warm and obvious meaning of his mother, but the concern in it is the same. Xue Yuxiao opened his mouth to be relieved: "Cui Qi often takes my pulse and takes care of my body. Don't worry, brother. ”

Xue Minghuai nodded, he reached out and took the teacup that Xue Yuxiao had drunk, and wiped the rouge marks on the rim of the cup with his fingertips - how could a little attendant have the opportunity to use tea in front of Feng Jun? If someone finds out, it will be a mistake. What's more, although men apply a lot of powder, it is not common to apply Zhu.

Xue Yuxiao opened the window, and the breath from outside poured in.

This secretly sent a signal that the conversation was over in the room. After a short time, the servant who was expected to move here greeted him through the curtain, and after getting permission, a personal palace attendant came in and changed tea for Feng Jun.

The two talked in a low voice throughout the whole process, and the words exchanged so quickly that only a few words could be heard. Cui Jinzhang could still have a few words in his ears at the beginning, but he couldn't hear what the brother and sister were saying at all in the back.

He sat on the edge of the lunch seat that had not been removed, and when he saw Xie Budo poking a piece of pastry with holes everywhere, he felt that he was wasting food, and he was a little unhappy. When the two finished talking, they asked with a slight red cheek: "Fengjun Chitose, I see that all the meals you didn't eat in the past have been thrown away." This thing is made of exquisite materials, it's a pity to waste it, why don't I take it away? There are a lot of beggars under the outer walls of the palace......"

Because he was simple and natural, straightforward and unpretentious, Xue Minghuai doted on him very much: "Okay, it's just that you should be careful, people who are hungry will not only not appreciate you, but may also rob you." ”

Cui Jinzhang wrapped the punctured pastries and some portable dry food with a piece of oiled paper, and buried his head and said: "I know I know, but I'm not so easy to grab, I'm amazing." ”

He put the things in the empty place in the small wooden box, carried the medical box, and saluted Xue Minghuai respectfully, saying, "Let's go." ”

"It's not far away." Xue Minghuai said, "Be careful on the road. ”

Cui Jinzhang nodded seriously, and then walked out with the palace attendant who led the way, and only then stepped out of the Jiaofang Palace, and saw Xie Budo, who was wearing a cloak, leaning on the railing under the eaves, holding gold wire scissors, and pruning a red plum that was broken from the plum garden.

The red plum is still dewy, and the light and cold fragrance fills the sleeves. His long hair is not tightly tied, a few strands of soft hair are scattered, lazy and unrestrained, the amole is sloppy, the cinnabar mole on the center of the eyebrows is extremely beautiful, at this moment the phoenix eyes are slightly drooping, the eyelashes are like a fan, there is a unique smelting charm.

Cui Jinzhang glanced at him, snorted dissatisfiedly as he passed by, did not salute, looked down at the steps and walked down, only took two steps, and was suddenly stopped by him.

“…… Cui Xiaoshen's shelf is really big. Xie Budo looked at Hongmei, the scissors stuck between the forked branches, "I don't know where I provoked you?" Make you hate me so much. ”

Cui Jinzhang touched his face, and said in his heart, did he write it on his face? So obvious? immediately subconsciously looked at Xue Yuxiao.

Xue Yuxiao glanced past him and replied with his eyes: "It's not just obvious, even what you are thinking in your heart now, you know it clearly." ”

Cui Jinzhang turned his head and raised his voice: "I don't hate you. ”

Xie Budo walked over slowly: "Don't talk so early—I heard that the lord of your family has a very close relationship with the elders of the Xue family, and the little divine doctor often goes to Ruyi Garden...... It seems that you are going to call Pei Langjun a brother? ”

Cui Jinzhang's face was stunned, and this white and handsome face immediately turned red, not to mention hiding it, and even the explanation stumbled: "What did you say?" You—where did you hear that? ”

"Hearing it with your ears, of course." Xie Budo's phoenix eyes were slightly bent, and he said with a smile, "Pei Langjun is not as generous as he seems, if he knew that you, an innocent and pure person who swore not to marry, actually coveted his wife, Pei Gongzi would find a way to get rid of you." ”

Cui Jinzhang was weak and scared at the same time: "How is it possible...... Don't talk nonsense. I have a good relationship with Brother Pei, he ...... He won't ......"

He took a step back.

Xie Budo felt even more interesting, and approached: "He will tie you up and use the Xue family's family law to deal with you, saying that you seduced his wife and did not abide by your husband's ways." What are you shaking your head for? …… Since you always go to Ruyi Garden, how is Xue Hou's body? You know for sure. She is such a young girl with strong blood, she can't hold it when she is seduced, since you don't want to, I'm going to go. ”

Cui Jinzhang naturally knew that Xue Yuxiao was in good health.

The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he became, his face was red, and white smoke was about to rise above his head, so he couldn't help but hide back: "What's up!" I hate you. ”

Cui Jinzhang hid behind Xue Yuxiao, Xie Budo was playing with his heart, and bumped into Xue Yuxiao in one step, he frowned, and looked at the person in front of him very unhappily: "You ......"

Before he said a word, Xue Yuxiao said softly: "Your Highness, this is outside the Jiaofang Palace, it is really inconvenient to say this kind of thing." ”

Xie Budo was frozen in place by this sentence.

He stared at Xue Yuxiao, and then at Cui Jinzhang who was hiding behind her, and the banter and ridicule in his mind were smashed to pieces—what did he just say?

Xie Budo had a stalk in his throat, his mind was knotted, and he grabbed Xue Yuxiao's hand suddenly. He grabbed it too tightly, his finger bones were tense and white, and he was glanced at by Xue Yuxiao before he slowly eased up, but he didn't let go much: "How are you-"

“…… Who do you say can't hold it? ”

Xie Budo: "......"

She whispered, softly, but the sound was unmistakably able to reach Xie Budo's ears. His whole being was struck by lightning, and all his debauchery, frivolity, and cynicism left him like a peeled shell, leaving him with only a sense of stunnedness, unease, and a very strong and unprecedented sense of shame.

It's been a long, long time since he's been ashamed of his actions.

Xue Yuxiao said: "...... Let go. I have to go. ”

Xie Budo didn't let go, his teeth trembled a little, but he still gritted his dentition and said with a little annoyance: "You-why are you talking!" Little Medic Officer, do you have a part in speaking? ”

He's going to be deceived...... It's better to be deceived!

Cui Jinzhang popped up from her side, feeling that he couldn't let Xue Yuxiao resist for himself, so he bravely squeezed between the two, pushed Xie Budo away, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, if you want to go up, why are you bullying me?" ”

Xie Budo: "......"

Okay, well, in front of Xue Yuxiao, his brain is so bright at this time, he even learned the word "bully". Cui Qilang is very reasonable, where is he naïve?

Xue Yuxiao tidied up his cuffs and his eyes fell on him.

Xie Budo can speak well, and dared to debate the story of Buddhism with Xue Yuxiao in front of hundreds of officials, but he was swept away by this gaze, but his whole body was stiff, like a man's back. He simply broke the jar and broke it, anyway, his jar has always been broken, and no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad: "It's a pity that some people don't follow." I've given so many opportunities, wouldn't it be cheap if I chased it humbly? If you want to win over and get something from me, then it's time for the lady to leave some affection for me. ”

Cui Jinzhang turned his head and whispered, "Is it you who he said?" ”

Xue Yuxiao's face did not change: "No." ”
