Chapter 691 My liver, my kidneys
Liu Chunshu knocked once, and the door opened from the inside.
Song Chunxue looked at Liu Chunshu indifferently, and Liu Chunshu quickly went to the side.
"Last night..." Realizing he had misspoke, Liu Chunshu quickly said, "I'll go get the hot water right now."
"Hmm." Song Chunxue stepped out of the room with a calm expression and headed straight for the outhouse.
If she hadn't mentioned several times that she needed to pee, Xie Zheng wouldn't have let her leave.
Liu Chunshu watched her back with curiosity, wondering why she acted as if nothing had happened.
However, he still waved and asked them to bring the water over within two hours.
Xie Zheng looked thoughtfully at the steam in the bathtub, thinking that since he had already brought it here, he didn't want to be speculated about again.
After a quick bath, he changed into his official robes.
Just as he was about to grab a steamed bun and head out, Song Chunxue came in.
She stepped forward and straightened his collar. "Remember not to talk back to the Emperor, and don't be too stubborn. I'll go ask my senior brother if there's a better way."
Xie Zheng smiled and took her hand, pulling her fingers to his chest, his face beaming with sweetness.
Standing outside the door, Liu Chunshu lowered his head, thinking to himself, "It's done, it's done! Haha, look how worthless Lord Xie is."
"Okay, I've got it. You can have breakfast by yourself. I'm leaving now." He said that, but he still stared at Song Chunxue with a silly grin.
Song Chunxue lifted the fabric at his shoulder and stuffed a talisman into his sleeve.
"It's good to keep it close to your body." So that he won't say the wrong thing again.
Xie Zheng nodded, "Okay, I'll take good care of it. Don't worry, I'm not that reckless."
But Song Chunxue felt uneasy.
"Let the peach branch follow you."
"No need, I would feel guilty if I lost it."
Song Chunxue's cheeks flushed; she had said something similar last night.
Xie Zheng gently patted her shoulder, "Wait for me to come back."
Stepping across the threshold, he said to Liu Chunshu, "Come with me."
"yes."
Liu Chunshu glanced at Song Chunxue and thought to himself, "What a cruel twist of fate."
Although the arranged marriage brought them together, who knows if they will be able to stay together forever?
After eating a couple of bites, Song Chunxue returned to her room. Before she could even sit down, she saw someone carrying a large bucket of hot water into the room.
"..."
Those people left without even looking up, leaving Song Chunxue both amused and exasperated.
It must have been Liu Chunshu who gave the order.
I have to say, he's a real shrewd guy.
Last night, they slept in each other's arms.
But he didn't do that.
When their emotions ran high, they actually took off their clothes.
But when the time came, she still didn't dare let him see her wrinkled belly under the bodice.
She wasn't afraid of scaring Xie Zheng; she had simply lost her courage.
She backed down.
But Xie Zheng didn't let her leave. He extinguished the candle, pulled her into his arms, gently stroked her belly, and soothed her softly, saying that things were fine as they were.
He said that Xie had no other desires, as long as he could stay with her a little longer, he would have no regrets in this life.
She cried uncontrollably at the time.
She couldn't help but be moved by that scene and those words.
Although she felt sorry for him, she also felt that perhaps this was the best situation for them.
She has already made up her mind; she will leave Beijing in a few days.
She wanted to go back and eat apricots.
In the courtyard of Lijiazhuangzi, there is an apricot that turns yellow very late. It has a sweet and sour taste and a thick skin, which is perfect for drying apricot skin.
She wanted to pick some and take them to the fort in Zhuanglang County to dry in the sun. She also missed her two big wolfhounds and Jiang Hongying's children.
It's been more than half a year since I left the fort. I should go back and tidy up the yard, otherwise it will grow weeds and the house will age quickly.
After bathing, she changed into clean clothes and went to Baiyun Temple to burn incense.
Afterwards, they went to the street and bought a lot of things, all of which were carried on the horse's back.
The chestnut horse was indeed well-fed and strong, its forelegs and shoulders shining brightly.
She had intended to go to the Zhao residence to find her senior brother, but she knew that if there was a better solution, her senior brother would definitely tell her in advance.
After shopping, she returned to the Xie residence but did not go to see Xie Lingyun.
When you have things on your mind, it's hard to relax and easy to become complacent.
She had no choice but to go back to her room and meditate to pass the time.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Wuyou rushed out and bumped into the door frame.
Song Chunxue jumped up from the couch and saw that two masked men in black had silently entered the room.
They wore masks with blue faces and fangs. Before she could even take out the sword her senior brother had given her, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
furious!
To fall for this again in broad daylight, I hope it's not that scoundrel He Xiu!
She heard the sound of Wuyou clashing with their weapons, and collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.
...
"Wake up, wake up quickly."
"If he doesn't wake up soon, your Lord Xie will be in grave danger."
Song Chunxue felt a lot of pain in her arm and head. She tried to open her eyes and sit up.
"He Xiu?"
She angrily drew her sword and pointed it at him, "It's you again! Can't you be straightforward?"
He Xiu shrugged and looked at Master Han beside him, "See? I told you she would wrong me."
Master Han?
Song Chunxue looked at the person standing to the side, who had a gentle and expressionless demeanor, and wondered if this was the same person who had followed behind Xie Zheng's two older sisters and spoken to her with a smile when they first met.
She rubbed her head. "What happened?"
“You were drugged, but I didn’t do it. I don’t care about your carefree life anymore, but others do. They had the audacity to go to your house in broad daylight. Although Wuyou killed two people, they had too many people. Someone was carrying you and passing by here, and we just happened to run into them.”
He Xiu said weakly, "We chased them for several miles. We didn't know who those people were, but they were very skilled. We fought for half an hour and they still didn't wake you up."
Song Chunxue clenched her fists. "The sleeping potion is too potent."
"I have a way to deal with sleeping pills, do you want it?" He Xiu patted his chest excitedly.
"If it works, of course we'll want it, but where are we right now?"
“This,” He Xiu looked at Master Han, “you can read on yourself.”
When Song Chunxue looked down, she was so frightened she almost lost her mind.
They were actually above the palace.
"Your senior brother insisted that we come to help, saying that there is an evil cultivator in the palace. The emperor has also been obsessed with cultivation in recent years, but they are even more obsessed with alchemy, trying to achieve immortality. Perhaps that evil cultivator wants to break you and Xie Zheng up."
He Xiu stroked his gray beard and snorted, "I think that guy is just trying to smooth things over. What the hell does Xie Zheng have to do with whoever he's on good terms with?"
Master Han raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
He Xiu chuckled, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "It's not exactly crude talk. Don't you think it's comforting to talk like this when you're angry? Otherwise, I always feel like I have a lump of pent-up anger stuck in my chest, going around and around, and in the end, it hurts my liver and kidneys."
“Speak with your tongue straight. My tongue is so long, but I can't twist it like yours.”
"..." He Xiu pursed his lips and gave a forced smile, looking at Song Chunxue, "You see, my senior brother is so boring, the closer you get to him, the more boring he becomes. When we're not close, he'll give me a fake smile, a smile so warm, you'd think the flowers were blooming in March, but now..."
Master Han's whisk transformed into a sword, pointing directly at his mouth, as if to say, "If you talk any more, I'll cut off your tongue."
