"You are quite cunning. This is the best wine from Wangyue Tower. A jar costs ten taels of gold." Shen Qingwu patted Ah Huan's head and let go of his hand.
Ah Huan smacked his lips in regret, but was still looking forward to it.
Shen Qingwu laughed out loud.
Sun Wang tilted his head to look over and laughed too, "They are all very understanding. During the day, they even accompanied Momo to identify herbs. Ah Heng learns faster than Momo."
When Ah Heng heard this, he raised his chin proudly.
Shen Qingwu laughed heartily, and Ah Heng wagged his tail happily.
Ah Heng suddenly looked towards the top of the wall.
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest early. You can clean up these tomorrow." Shen Qingwu looked at Sun Wang with a smile.
Sun Wang was stunned for a moment, and sensitively realized that he seemed to have missed something just now, but it was the rule not to ask too much about the master's affairs.
"What are you talking about that makes you laugh so happily?" After Sun Wang left and closed the small door, Ah Heng went to guard the small door, and Ah Huan patrolled the yard before Chu Guannan entered the yard.
"I just gave Ah Huan some wine." Shen Qingwu pointed to the wine glass on the table.
"You are very nice to Sun Wang." Chu Guannan said with a bit of sour tone.
Shen Qingwu spread his hands helplessly. "When I'm not at home, he can look after the house for me. He can notice any little disturbance at home. When I come home, he can even warm wine and make tea for me. Such a useful person, should I be so cold and scold him at every turn?"
She went to the kitchen to get hot water, and when she came back, Sun Wang had already boiled the water.
In the past, Wu Chunxiang would stay to help her carry water, but today she asked them to go back and rest.
Chu Guannan then diligently snatched the wooden barrel from her hand, "You're wronging me. I meant that if you admire his abilities, you can use him. But it's not appropriate for a man and a woman to sit together drinking in the middle of the night. What do you think?"
Shen Qingwu pushed open the door to the side room and asked Chu Guannan to bring in the hot water. She crossed her arms and watched the person pouring water into the tub. "Then you, the dignified Prince of Yan, come down to pour me some bath water. Is that appropriate?"
"Did you eat firecrackers today?" Chu Guannan put down the wooden bucket and raised his hand to knock on her forehead. "Today, the king will personally give you a bath. There is nothing inappropriate. Go in."
Shen Qingwu, "..."
She was thick-skinned enough. After testing the water temperature, she took off her clothes and stepped in. She lay comfortably beside the wooden barrel and enjoyed Chu Guannan's clumsy service.
"I killed someone in the Big Buddha Temple last night." Shen Qingwu said with his eyes closed while lying on the edge of the wooden barrel.
"They said today that there was no corpse left in the Hidden Miasma Valley, not even a single bone." Chu Guannan wet her hair and then rubbed it gently with the soapberry next to it.
"Don't you think I'm too bloody?" Shen Qingwu raised his head and looked back at him and asked.
In the misty water, their dark eyes met, and Chu Guannan smiled suddenly, "Those people deserved to die. You were just getting rid of harm for the people. What's wrong with that?"
Shen Qingwu's eyebrows and eyes curved with a smile, "You are still sensible."
"I'm serious." Chu Guannan said with a smile, "If it were me, I would cut the grass and eradicate it completely."
"Several eldest sons in Kyoto are the offspring of monks. The people behind them might use this to restrain these people one day. On the surface, it is the undercurrent of men, but the actions of these mistresses behind the scenes are what really affect the front and back courts." Shen Qingwu lay back down again.
"Who is behind them?" Chu Guannan asked curiously.
"Damn it." Shen Qingwu gave the result without any suspense.
Chu Guannan paused while washing Shen Qingwu's hair, "Is it her?"
"She must have accomplices, but we can't see them yet," said Shen Qingwu.
She saw the big picture in the monk's past.
The old woman would often secretly go to see the big boss to report the situation. The name of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, was spread privately by the big boss.
Chu Guannan quickly regained his composure and continued washing her hair. "Have I not yet told you why I keep a private army?"
"I am obviously the emperor's favorite son. I can get whatever I want in this capital city. The prince is also very polite to me. Why should I do this?" Chu Guannan chuckled.
"The more the emperor dotes on you now, the more the prince will hate you in the future. The emperor dotes on you but doesn't give you real power. When he dies, if the prince does something wrong, the first person he will get rid of will be you." Shen Qingwu gave a very objective evaluation.
In fact, she had already seen the main reason from Hong An's past.
"These are all appearances, but not the root cause." Chu Guannan said.
Shen Qingwu couldn't help but tighten her hands on the edge of the wooden barrel. Why was she more nervous than him when she heard him talk about the past?
"I am not the emperor's son." Chu Guannan sneered, wrapped her washed long hair with a handkerchief, and wiped her body carefully.
Although he is clumsy at washing hair, he is very skilled at massage.
When Shen Qingwu heard him reveal the biggest secret, her body tensed up. She wanted to say that there were some secrets that she actually didn't really want to know.
Chu Guannan gently massaged her tense back, "We're so close now, are you still afraid of knowing more?"
Shen Qingwu pursed his lips tightly, and his body finally relaxed slowly under his experienced technique.
"Before my mother died, her legs and feet were not good and she had difficulty walking. I learned some massage techniques from Taiyi and used them to relieve her pain every day."
Shen Qingwu closed his eyes slightly and hummed softly.
"My mother was married and had me before entering the palace, but the emperor fell in love with her while he was on an incognito tour."
"The imperial concubine cooperated with him to put my mother down. They drugged my mother and said she seduced him."
"But that was all a plot set up by her parents-in-law and the emperor."
"My biological father naturally didn't believe it, but he failed to protect my mother. He was the heir to the family, but at that moment, he abandoned my mother and her family in the name of her uncleanness."
"The emperor pretended to be a good person and brought my mother back to the palace, but secretly sent people to hunt down my biological father..."
Chu Guannan spoke calmly about his parents.
His mother's name was Jiang Ying, a beautiful woman who was dragged down by her own kindness.
His biological father is Miao Ze, a fool who has a stepmother and a stepfather but still does not fight for it.
"After entering the palace, my mother became the emperor's exclusive favorite. She used secret medicine to conceal the date of her pregnancy. To protect me, she feigned deceit, but ultimately, she felt a deep sense of resentment. She passed away when I was ten years old and had developed the ability to protect myself."
When talking about his mother, Chu Guannan felt distressed and missed her.
"I used to think that her death was a relief, and that was good for her, but sometimes I feel sad. She was so young. If she hadn't met the emperor, she might have lived an ordinary but happy life."
"When she passed away, she was still thinking about my biological father, the man whose life or death was unknown. She hoped to be buried with him and to have another life with him."
Chu Guannan closed his eyes and wrapped Shen Qingwu, who stood up, in a bath towel.
Shen Qingwu stepped out of the tub and looked at the man with a look of sadness. He couldn't help asking, "Do you have your biological father's birth date or any old things?"
