I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

After the conversation that day, I don't know whether Mu Mingtang's exclusive recuperation method worked, or Xie Xuanchen's heart knot opened, and the gloomy air between his eyebrows dissipated a lot, and his face was not as pale as it used to be.

Mu Mingtang had been thinking about going to the emperor Zhang, but either emperor Zhang had to ask for leave or a maid could not leave. Mu Mingtang had no choice but to continue living in the bedroom "temporarily". It was not until the third time that Doctor Zhang was on the night, and Mu Mingtang had found a chance.

At night, the maids carried the lights, greeted them and filed out, and the maids who walked at the end turned the door closed. Seeing that there was no movement outside, Mu Mingtang surreptitiously pulled out the black cloak from the closet and put it on himself.

She tried her best to lighten her movements and covered her dress with a cloak. Finally she put on the hood and turned back to Xie Xuanchen and said, "Remember to cover for me."

Xie Xuanchen looked at her silently, seemingly too lazy to speak. Mu Mingtang glared at him again before he nodded reluctantly: "Okay."

Mu Mingtang got the assurance, and he opened the window silently. Xie Xuanchen always felt something was wrong when she looked at her movements, "Why are you so proficient?"

"Hush." ​​Mu Mingtang gestured to him and said perfunctorily, "The master who taught me to unlock is a thief, I learned by the way."

By the way? Xie Xuanchen's eyebrows jumped and asked, "What else did you learn by the way?"

"No more." Mu Mingtang already stood outside the window and said in a low voice, "I'll go first. If anyone asks, you remember to say I am here."

After speaking, she closed the window and left without waiting for Xie Xuanchen to agree.

The wind was a little cold at night, Mu Mingtang pressed his hood tightly and looked around cautiously. Seeing that no one noticed, she lowered her head and walked quickly in the direction she expected during the day.

She did not dare to walk along the road for fear of meeting people, so she could only walk through the paths in the bamboo forest. Fortunately, Mu Mingtang has experienced a lot, and this kind of night road can't scare her at all. She quickly walked through the bamboo forest, and by the light on the water, she found Xue Zhai, the imperial doctor who was on duty at night.

Mu Mingtang tiptoedly hid in the shadows, and looked through the window for a long time, making sure that only the doctor was behind before he opened the door.

Doctor Zhang is reading a doctor's book under the lamp. My family is reluctant to light up the lights like this. The palace is bright and clean, but it is a rare place for repairs. Especially tonight, Dr. Zhang is on the night, and no one will be disturbed at night. He takes out the medical book and slowly delves into the night.

Madam Zhang was fascinated by reading, something seemed to fall outside, and Madam Zhang did not take it seriously. After a while, a voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Doctor Zhang."

Doctor Zhang was taken aback. He covered his heart and took a long time before he recovered. He looked at the person in front of him, unbelievable for a long time: "Princess Qiyang?"

After the emperor Zhang had finished speaking, he noticed the blunder. After the emperor gave a new title, he didn't like others to mention King Qiyang. Now only King An is known in the court, and no one remembers King Qiyang. Grand Doctor Zhang coughed, stood up and arched his hands: "See Princess An. Weichen doesn't know that the princess is driving, and if he has missed a long distance, please forgive the princess."

"Doctor Zhang, please." Mu Mingtang took off his hood and said, "I am here today. I want to ask the physician for help."

Doctor Zhang did not move. Needless to say, Mu Mingtang, just by looking at Mu Mingtang's dress, she knew that she was very interested. The doctor Zhang still kept his bowing motion, and said with his eyes down: "Weichen is so talented that he dare not be a princess. Please princess, find another superior."

Although Mu Mingtang hasn't said yet, but she can avoid her eyes and ears and come here late at night in disguise. What else can she do besides treating King Qiyang. But unfortunately, this matter cannot be answered.

Madam Zhang has been cautious all his life. He has practiced medicine in the Imperial Medical Bureau for 40 years without making mistakes. You only need to do well in front of you. Those big risks and big rewards should be left to others.

When Mu Mingtang saw that Doctor Zhang refused to accept it, he was a little anxious. She didn't know how long she could stay outside, and she really didn't have time to waste talking nonsense with Doctor Zhang. Mu Mingtang directly took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve and placed it in front of Doctor Zhang's case.

"Healers are kind, and the imperial doctors practice medicine to save people for a lifetime. I must know the principle of saving one life better than building a seventh-level Buddha. I will not involve imperial doctors, or even force imperial doctors to cure the prince. It’s enough to tell me the truth about his condition and tell me how to raise it in the future."

Grand Doctor Zhang moved his eyes when he saw the large ingot of gold, but finally he lowered his hand and said: "Weichen is only a little less knowledgeable, please ask the princess to find another expert."

Mu Mingtang has no other benefits, except that he has a thick-skinned perseverance. Madam Zhang was reluctant, and Mu Mingtang kept putting things on the table. Anyway, the Jiang family gave her a lot of dowry, she didn't believe it, and she couldn't get any money out of the money.

Because he was afraid of leaving traces, Mu Mingtang didn't dare to use the palace's money, and all he took out was his dowry. The key to her dowry is in her own hand, and she has the final say on how many things are in it. Mu Mingtang didn't dare to use jade and delicate jewellery, which were easy to be recognized. They all used simple and crude gold bracelets and gold hairpins.

Doctor Zhang saw Mu Mingtang's appearance of swearing not to give up until he reached his goal, and his head grew bigger. He moved his eyes away from the golden pile, but he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

The couple in distress did not last long, but the young princess in front of them was an exception. It's rare for the emperor Zhang to give birth to some compassion, and said: "Princess, it is not easy for a woman to survive. You should keep these money with you. The minister understands what you mean, but the minister can't tell the princess."

"Can't tell her, what about me?"

This time even Mu Mingtang was taken aback. She and Doctor Zhang turned their heads in surprise and found that the windows did not know when they opened. Xie Xuanchen was standing in the shadows, not knowing how long they had been watching.

Mu Mingtang clutched his heart, and now his heart was beating. She took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Master, why are you here?"

Xie Xuanchen walked out of the shadow, and the flames climbed up the corner of his clothes from the ground, illuminating his face little by little.

"You want to protect yourself, not to wade into the muddy waters, of course I understand. But now you have been sent to the Qiyang Palace, do you think that if you want to stay out of it, you can stay out of it?"

Doctor Zhang was dumb and didn't say anything for a while. Xie Xuanchen walked to the center of the room, Mu Mingtang looked around, and ran to him quietly.

Under the light, Xie Xuanchen’s face was astonishing white, and his lips were so pale that he could hardly see it: “If I were you, I wouldn’t be so ignorant. Since ancient times, the emperor was suspicious. You were sent to the Qiyang palace by the emperor. Don't worry about using you? If you accept the princess's solicitation, you can at least leave yourself a way out. Otherwise, if there is a little bit of news about today's affairs, the princess and I will be fine, but you may not."

His words like this were simply threatening, cold and ruthless, and such Xie Xuanchen made Mu Mingtang feel strange. Mu Mingtang was a little uneasy. She could understand Grand Doctor Zhang's idea of ​​protecting herself. She knew that she couldn't move the other party with emotion and reason. Xie Xuanchen said this directly, wouldn't the other party be even more deterred?

Mu Mingtang quietly tugged Xie Xuanchen's sleeves, but Xie Xuanchen just reached out and covered the back of Mu Mingtang's hand.

His fingers were also extremely cold, and Mu Mingtang felt very distressed when he thought of the autumn wind outside. She sighed quietly and couldn't bear to say any more, but reached out to wrap the back of Xie Xuanchen's hand.

Xie Xuanchen was talking, and was caught off guard against the warmth covering his hands. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, and when he lowered his head, he saw Mu Mingtang holding his hand intently, as if he wanted to warm him. Mu Mingtang noticed his movements and smiled at him as he raised his head.

Before the negotiation, Xie Xuanchen's throat moved, and finally he still looked up coldly, facing Doctor Zhang without emotion.

Grand Physician Zhang was shocked by Xie Xuanchen's words, confused, and had no time to pay attention to other things. Doctor Zhang's complexion changed back and forth, and finally completely frozen on his face, completely at a loss. He was stunned for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally sighed sullenly: "His Royal Highness is right. The old man is lucky."

After Dr. Zhang finished speaking, he realized that the two men in front of him were not in the right posture. When did they get entangled? The doctor Zhang glanced at the hands of Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang clasped tightly, and finally pretended to be blind, and said, "Princess, dare to ask what you just said..."

Mu Mingtang couldn't believe it when she heard that she was reasoning and spending money, and in the end she was not as cold as Xie Xuanchen's two words? She glanced at Xie Xuanchen in surprise, and quickly replied: "Effective and effective. As long as the imperial doctor agrees to see the prince, I will not tell anyone about it, nor will I force you to cure the prince."

Mu Mingtang paused after speaking, "Of course, it's better to be cured completely."

Doctor Zhang's face was dark, he knew that crows in the world were generally black, and no matter what these customers said, they were essentially unreasonable.

Grand Physician Zhang bowed his waist and bowed his waist, then moved his seat away: "Please sit down, Lord."

Xie Xuanchen sat down and stretched out his hand to show his pulse. His wrists are as white as jade, and the blue blood vessels below can be clearly seen. Mu Mingtang stood on one side nervously, watching Doctor Zhang stretch out his hand to cover Xie Xuanchen's wrist, and cut it hard for a long time.

Mu Mingtang couldn't help but clenched his fingers. After a while, Doctor Zhang retracted his hand. Mu Mingtang immediately asked, "Doctor, how is it?"

After Mu Mingtang finished asking, he didn't want to hear the imperial doctor's answer at that moment. Sometimes, hope is more scary than disappointment.

Grand Physician Zhang got up and stepped aside, and looked at the two men with hesitation. Mu Mingtang was even more worried about the performance of the doctor Zhang. Instead, Xie Xuanchen looked like he had expected. He folded his sleeves and said, "It's OK to be a doctor, but I know it in my heart."

Okay, Doctor Zhang lowered his eyes and said, "The prince is already very dangerous now. The prince is in good health, but the powerful strength is the advantage and the burden, especially the uncontrolled use of strength over the years, which consumes the foundation of the body. The prince is born with supernatural power. When others lift ten catties, you can easily pick up one hundred catties. But the prince is a flesh and blood body. When you have been sick in the past few years, you will release your powerful power at will without regard to the consequences. The load is heavy. If you force it again, I'm afraid the body will not be able to hold it."

The doctor Zhang said in great detail. Mu Mingtang understood it. In layman's terms, Xie Xuanchen's body was originally very good, but every time he raged, he would lose a lot of essence and blood. If there is any inflow or outflow, he can't control it. It has been falling, but now it is not dying.

Now, it would be best if he could recover slowly, but if he raged again, his body would not be able to withstand it.

This result is not good, but it is much better than she thought.

Mu Mingtang asked: "According to the imperial physician, how should I recuperate for the present plan?"

"Avoid irritability and irritability, eat a light diet, calm the mind and nourish the qi, and do not exercise vigorously." Doctor Zhang seemed to pause after speaking and lowered his eyes, "In particular, don't let the mania occur anymore."

The doctor Zhang said very vaguely, but Mu Mingtang understood that the doctor was talking about Xie Xuanchen's illness.

Mu Mingtang could understand, not to mention Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen stood up and said, "I have work."

After he finished speaking, he was about to go out. Mu Mingtang called him, then turned around and asked Doctor Zhang hurriedly: "Then what medicine does he need to drink?"

"It's better not to drink medicine." Doctor Zhang said, "The medicine is three-point poison. The prince is not sick, but the body cannot bear its own strength. If you can ensure that you are no longer mad, and slowly grow your body, it will be fine."

Mu Mingtang understood, and Xie Xuanchen was about to go out now. Mu Mingtang could only hurriedly thank Madam Zhang and chase after him with his skirt.

As for the gold, it was naturally treated as "diagnosis money" and left.

Xie Xuanchen stopped outside the door, and Mu Mingtang easily caught up with him. Mu Mingtang naturally supported his arm and asked, "Why are you here?"

At this time, the two of them had already entered the black hole of the bamboo forest, with only the sound of Xiao Xiao on both sides, as if they were isolated from the world.

Xie Xuanchen said, "Madam jumped out of the window late at night. Isn't it normal for me to chase it out?"

Mu Mingtang originally asked very seriously, but when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but laughed out: "Don't make trouble, I'm asking you really."

"What I said is true."

Mu Mingtang sighed and stopped struggling with him on this question, but curiously asked, "When did you come?"

"Start when you go out."

Mu Mingtang looked at him incredulously. He couldn't see his appearance in the middle of the night, but the mood of the people around him couldn't be calmer, not like talking nonsense. Mu Mingtang was surprised: "I was followed as soon as I went out...I didn't notice it at all."

Xie Xuanchen didn't answer, obviously he felt it should be. The more Mu Mingtang thought about it, the more it felt uncomfortable. She always felt that Xie Xuanchen was weak and needed her care. In fact, Xie Xuanchen could already deal with several of her with one hand.

Mu Mingtang suddenly felt that he was not qualified to help Xie Xuanchen.

Xie Xuanchen walked for a while and found that Mu Mingtang hadn't spoken for a long time. He glanced strangely and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay." Mu Mingtang shook his head, "I just found out that I might still not know you. Every time I think I'm close to you, the facts will tell me that I don't actually know you."

Xie Xuanchen chuckled lightly and said, "The human mind is the most complicated thing. No one can fully understand another person except oneself, sometimes even oneself."

"how about you?"

"Me?" Xie Xuanchen said, "I don't know, maybe."

Afterwards, Mu Mingtang realized that she might have fallen into a misunderstanding. When she first saw Xie Xuanchen, she thought he was like a little white face. Although she learned later that this was not the case, she had to say that the preconceived influence was too great, and the name Xiao Bai face greatly misled Mu Mingtang.

Xie Xuanchen was born in the family of nobles. He has been at the pinnacle of power after three dynasties and five emperors, and was reused by the two founding emperors of Zhou Wu and Xie Yi. If it weren't for his sudden illness, I'm afraid that now, Chaozhong is all fans of King Qiyang.

Xie Rui has ascended to the throne from the last, throwing away his grievances and grievances, he must admit that he is also a capable man. But such a person was deeply jealous of his nephew Xie Xuanchen, and even Xie Xuanchen could not sleep peacefully when he was sick.

If it was just a martial artist, how could Xie Rui be jealous of this appearance.

In contrast, Mu Mingtang is the real honest person. I'm afraid she is just like a bowl of water in Xie Xuanchen's eyes, and she can see it clearly at a glance.

The more Mu Mingtang thought about it, the more grief and anger she got, she didn't even know Xie Xuanchen's true physical condition. She always felt that Xie Xuanchen was too weak to withstand the wind, but she never expected that Xie Xuanchen could easily follow her all the way, if she didn't take the initiative to show up, she could be blindfolded from beginning to end.

Xie Xuanchen was made of wood, and now he has noticed something wrong: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, but just a little angry."

"Angry?" Xie Xuanchen couldn't figure it out, "What are you angry about?"

Mu Mingtang raised his eyebrows and looked up at Xie Xuanchen: "Don't you know?"

Xie Xuanchen's face was pale and slender in the night, and he shook his head extremely innocently.

Mu Mingtang blocked her throat in one sigh and couldn't get up. After a while, she figured it out by herself: "Forget it, the most important thing in life is to close one eye and open one eye. I forgive you."

Xie Xuanchen became more confused, he didn't figure out what happened from beginning to end: "What's the matter?"

Mu Mingtang snorted and said, "I can't control if you lie to others, but if you dare to lie to me, you'll be over! Anyway, I have money and someone, so it's a big deal to remarry."

"Heh." Xie Xuanchen laughed, his voice floating in the wind, light and cold, "I am alive for one day, I am afraid that Madam's wish will be delayed for one day."

"Then you must live a long time." Mu Mingtang didn't even think about it, and continued, "The doctor's diagnosis is much better than I expected. You don't even need to worry about medicine. I will just use the messy tonic in the future. Take it all to water the flowers."

Xie Xuanchen didn't expect her to pick up the sentence like this naturally, his expression was startled, and he didn't keep up with the connection. Xie Xuanchen paused for a while and said, "After all, he has been in the imperial medical bureau for a lifetime. Even if his conscience is not cleared, his habit of talking vaguely can't be changed. No matter what kind of illness he has, in these imperial physicians' mouths, as long as he keeps quiet. He said that, in fact, just to relax your heart."

"So what." Mu Mingtang said, "As long as his diagnosis is correct, it's enough. He said that you don't need to use medicine, and it is better to gain weight naturally. I also think you should eat more fat, now too thin It's thinner than my waist."

The bamboo forest gradually came to an end, and the lights outside could already be seen. There is no need to identify the location, Mu Mingtang can recognize it at a glance, that is Yulintang.

She personally lit the lights of Yulintang every day, and no one is more familiar with these lights than her. Mu Mingtang smiled, shook Xie Xuanchen's arm, and pointed his finger forward: "Look, we are home."

Xie Xuanchen also stopped and looked forward. The servants are already asleep, and Yulintang has only a few lights left, shining blindly in the night, like a guide.

Xie Xuanchen suddenly asked, "What if I get sick again?"

This is the untouchable hidden illness in Xie Xuanchen's heart. He was so arrogant for the first half of his life that he had not bowed his head even when he saw the Jinluan Temple. But the facts just shattered his pride, let him slaughter his relatives and friends, ruined him, and made him unable to control his actions.

The imperial doctor has said so much, but the real meaning is that there is only one thing, not to get sick, there is still a ray of life, if you get sick again, you deserve to die.

It happened that this was the most secret pain in Xie Xuanchen's heart. He promised Mu Mingtang to live, and he also wanted to try to assume the future of the two. He could try everything else, but he didn't dare to promise this one.

He didn't know why he was going crazy, he didn't know when and where he would suddenly lose control, and he didn't know whether he would lose his hand and hurt Mu Mingtang when he lost his mind.

With his strength, he was slightly uncontrollable, and he was a killer.

Xie Xuanchen even suspected that he was born with a madness? Just as he was born with great power, he was also born with the blood of a madman and a murderer.

"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain." Mu Mingtang's tone was still confident and optimistic, as he had done many times before, saying, "You weren't born like this, but suddenly broke out, indicating that there must be a turning point. Even if you were born like this. What's wrong, the difference between humans and animals is that they can control themselves. We look for them slowly, and we can always find a way."

"Are you so confident?"

"It's not that I am confident." Mu Mingtang looked at him with bright eyes, "I trust you."

Her eyes were so bright that Xie Xuanchen didn't dare to look for a while, staggering her eyes a little hastily. Mu Mingtang followed his movements and looked towards the sky, and suddenly pointed at the stars in the sky: "Look, the stars."

There is no moon tonight, but the sky is full of stars.

Xie Xuanchen also raised his head and looked at the night sky. The sky is dark and unpredictable, and the stars are like crystals, falling into the sky. Mu Mingtang's voice sounded in his ears: "The heavens and the earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is wild, the sun and the moon are shining, and the time is long. It turns out that I knew you when I was four or five years old."

This is the first sentence of the thousand-character essay, and it is also the origin of Xie Xuanchen's name. When Mu Mingtang was five years old, his parents forced him into the school for enlightenment. At that time, when she was young and lethargic, when she staggered to recite this sentence, she did not expect that this was the name of her future husband-in-law.

Xie Xuanchen thought it was funny, what does a four or five year old kid know? But Xie Xuanchen didn't say anything in the end, standing side by side with Mu Mingtang, watching the vast stars together.

After a while, Mu Mingtang tugged on his sleeve and said, "The wind is blowing, let's go home."

"it is good."
