Chapter 12 Help
After the Emperor and Empress left, everyone else also left Baohe Hall one after another, but Xia Yanjing was reluctant to leave. He had not spent enough time with Shengxia. How could time pass so quickly?
Xia Yanjing looked at Sheng Yuan being carried and muttered to himself in confusion, "Is there no wheelchair in this dynasty, or is it that the palace doesn't allow wheelchairs to be brought in?"
Xia Yanjing didn't think too much about it. He would know the answer when he went back and asked Shitou. Xia Yanjing followed Shengxia without thinking.
Thinking of Shi Tou, Xia Yanjing felt a little ashamed, but he would never admit that he valued women over friends.
Marquis Yongning winked at Xia Yanjing frantically, indicating that Xia Yanjing should come to their side, but Xia Yanjing didn't see it at all.
Xia Yanjing followed Shengxia, and Shengxia didn't care out of politeness. But in the eyes of others, they were already a couple, and it was normal for them to reminisce after not seeing each other for several years.
At this moment, Xia Yanjing no longer cared about his adoptive father. He thought of Shitou's legs. Since his future wife was so capable, it should be okay to ask him for a favor and hug her thigh.
Xia Yanjing kept secretly looking at Shengxia along the way, and Shengxia could only pretend not to see it. Xia Yanjing was struggling with how to start the conversation, after all, this was only the second time they met.
Seeing that the palace gate was right in front of him, Xia Yanjing had no choice but to give it a try for the future of Shi Tou.
"Well, Shengxia, I have something I want to ask you for help with." Xia Yanjing said with some lack of confidence.
Sheng Xia thought to himself, he was right. Xia Yanjing was willing to cooperate with him tonight for his future prospects, but he didn't expect him to start making demands so soon.
He was indeed grateful to Xia Yanjing that day and tonight. If it wasn't an excessive request, he would definitely agree, not to mention that he might be his husband in the future.
"Mr. Xia, please tell me." Sheng Xia was curious to know what Xia Yanjing wanted.
"Well, my servant was punished by my father because of me. The doctor said that his leg can only be cured by the imperial physician. I don't have a way to invite an imperial physician. Could you please help me?"
Xia Yanjing felt very embarrassed after he said that, but thinking that they would be getting married soon, it should be okay to hug someone's thigh in advance.
Shengxia was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He thought he would ask him to use his connections to get him an official position, but he didn't expect that he would just hire an imperial physician.
"Okay, I will ask the imperial physician to come to your house early tomorrow morning." As for Xia Yanjing's help to him, it was just a piece of cake to ask the imperial physician to help him, so he naturally would not refuse.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back home with my brother. I'll explain to you what happened tonight later. Thank you for your cooperation tonight. If you need my help in the future, as long as it's something I can't do, feel free to ask me."
Shengxia knew that it was wrong for him to suddenly drag Xia Yanjing into this mess. He owed him an apology, and as long as it was not an excessive request, he would help him complete it.
"Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered that I want to ask you for help with something."
Xia Yanjing suddenly remembered that they had taken a carriage provided by the palace when they came here. Now he didn't want Xia Yang to carry him again when he went back.
Xia Yanjing didn't know if Xia Zhiyong knew anyone who could take them back, but secretly he wanted to go back with Shengxia, and it would be a good thing if he could see her a few more times.
Xia Yanjing felt very embarrassed at this time. He had made two requests in one night. Shengxia would think that he was troublesome and troublesome, right? He felt very upset.
"Is there something wrong?" Shengxia looked at Xia Yanjing with a smile. Shengxia was still very patient with Xia Yanjing who helped him overcome the difficulties.
"We came here in the palace carriage, and we'd like to take your carriage back. I wonder if that's convenient."
After saying this, Xia Yanjing didn't dare to look at Shengxia, for fear that Shengxia would find him annoying, but he accepted the embarrassment as long as he could stay with his idol for a while longer.
"I'll talk to my eldest brother. If it's okay, we can ride in the same carriage." Shengxia considered her eldest brother's current situation and felt that she should discuss it with him first.
"Xiao Xia, let's go back quickly and not stay in the palace too long." Sheng Yuan was very upset that night. Too many things happened tonight. In addition, Xia Yanjing, the stinky man who abducted his brother, kept surrounding his brother, so he couldn't help but urge him.
Sheng Xia heard Sheng Yuan's urging, walked to Sheng Yuan's side, whispered a few words, then turned to Xia Yanjing and said, "Then call your father and brother to go with you."
When Xia Yanjing saw that Shengxia did not refuse, he was very happy, as he could stay with Shengxia for a while longer.
For the first time, Sheng Yuan felt that the carriage was extremely crowded, although there was still a lot of space between each person.
Xia Zhiyong said with a smile, "General Sheng, I didn't know that you and my son were so close. I wonder when you two can discuss the marriage between our two families."
Xia Zhiyong was eager to arrange the marriage between the two families immediately, so that the Yongning Marquis Mansion could regain its glory.
It was rare for Xia Yanjing to look up to his adoptive father, so he said as much as he could.
Now that General Sheng is gone, Sheng Yuan is the head of the Sheng family. Sheng Yuan felt very uncomfortable when he saw Xia Zhiyong's eager look. Although the Marquis' Mansion and the General's Mansion are a good match, his younger brother is the legitimate son, so how could he be matched with a bastard's son?
"There is no need to rush about this matter. If His Majesty issues an order, our Sheng family will certainly not let the emperor down." Sheng Yuan said slightly coldly.
"Yes, yes, then let's wait for His Majesty's order." Xia Zhiyong didn't dare to say anything more. Although he didn't have much talent, he still had some vision.
"Okay, we've arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, so we won't see you off." The carriage stopped steadily, and Sheng Yuan didn't exchange many pleasantries with Xia Zhiyong and the others.
"Thank you, Mr. Sheng and the general." Xia Zhiyong thanked with a smile on his face, and then the three of them got off the carriage one by one.
"I will visit you in person in a few days." Shengxia lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Xia Yanjing.
"The Marquis' Mansion respectfully welcomes General Sheng." Xia Zhiyong responded enthusiastically.
After Xia Zhiyong finished speaking, Shengxia lowered the curtain and the carriage slowly drove towards the Sheng Mansion.
In the carriage, Sheng Yuan felt very depressed. It was all because of his incompetence that he could not protect his younger brother and provide him with support.
"Xiao Xia, it's your brother who has dragged you down." Sheng Yuan believed that all this was caused by him. If he were not useless, his younger brother would not have to go to the battlefield, and today's events would not have happened.
"Brother, don't say that. This is not your fault. The fault lies with those who framed you." Sheng Xia held Sheng Yuan's tightly clenched hand and said comfortingly.
"Xiao Xia, you shouldn't have exchanged the imperial edict with His Majesty for me. This will put you in danger in the future." Sheng Yuan felt a little disappointed and patted his weak legs.
"Brother, that thing is nothing compared to you to me." Shengxia explained quickly.
"What's going on with Xia Yanjing? Do you really have a telepathic connection with him?" Sheng Yuan knew that the imperial edict was powerless to change the situation, so he stopped dwelling on it. When his leg healed, he would do his best to share his brother's worries.
"Brother, actually I don't know him." Sheng Xia honestly told the actual situation between him and Xia Yanjing.
"Then why do you know such a person, and why is he acting with you?" Sheng Yuan was confused. After all, the two of them did not seem like strangers in this scene today.
