Shanglin Night Snow

After drinking a cup of herbal tea and suppressing the hot air that was still lingering and rising all night, Shao Jingheng walked back and forth and opened the window, the morning light came into the house, a bit dazzling.

It had been daylight for a while.

There were footsteps in the yard.Before there was a knock on the door, Shao Jingheng had already greeted him. He thought it was a servant who came to take care of the wash, but he didn't expect it to be the old man Zhuang Weng. There was only one person behind him, but it was King Jia!

Shao Jingheng was surprised: "Why is Your Highness here?"

King Jia hesitated to speak.

Shao Jingheng thought for a while: "This place is narrow, Your Highness will go to the front yard with me to drink tea and talk about it."

"No...no need." Mu Yinche held him back, "I only have a few words to say to my cousin in private, so I'll leave after I finish. It's just right that this place is quiet."

The sun rises in the east, and the morning breeze is warm.

After sending away the old family, Shao Jingheng led the guests to sit by the flower fence in the courtyard: "It's stuffy inside, so let's sit outside. I'm hangover and drowsy, and I need to blow some cool wind to sober up."

Mu Yinche turned around and looked around, but seemed to hesitate.

"Your Highness, don't worry, this place is secluded and there are no other people. The old man who took care of the small courtyard has also left for the time being. Feel free to say anything." Shao Jingheng said comfortingly.

"Last night...cousin...are you alright?" King Jia's eyes flickered.

Shao Jingheng smiled wryly: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

"This...I..." The face of the person sitting opposite turned red, and he got up and bowed: "I was negligent in what happened yesterday, and today I am here to apologize, and I hope my cousin Haihan."

Shao Jingheng shook his head: "I can't blame Your Highness for this matter, it must be the princess' intention?"

The one sentence made King Jia terrified: "Eldest sister...just because Princess Yichun has been by her side since she was a child, and elder sister loves her, but her cousin has a marriage contract..." While feeling annoyed Speech incoherently: "Eldest sister ordered me to invite my cousin to the house for a banquet on Zhongqiu night, but I didn't feel anything unusual, it was really dull! Last night I saw my cousin just drank a few cups and became dizzy, and I still felt weird..."

Seeing him like this, the man's expression was unrevealed: "If I hadn't still had some sanity at that time, would Your Highness have let me be at the mercy of the princess?"

"No way!" Mu Yinche was startled, and shook his head in a hurry: "If I had known my elder sister's plan early in the morning, things wouldn't have turned out like this...Fortunately, my cousin was determined and never followed what my elder sister wanted. Leave……"

Silent for a while.

"Does the official know about this matter?" The man suddenly asked.

"I definitely don't know!" Mu Yinche shook his head like a rattle. "Last night, my elder sister repeatedly told me not to leak the news, so that my superiors will know! Besides, my elder sister also knew that she was wrong. Can my cousin forget about her suspicion?"

Shao Jingheng rubbed his eyebrows: "This move is really absurd. Since the princess has repented, I don't care about it. On the contrary," raising his eyes, he said earnestly: "Your Highness, please tell the princess that the so-called marriage is determined by nature, and it cannot be controlled by human power. I hope she will not go on her own way in the future."

Mu Yinche bowed again: "I will tell my elder sister what my cousin said!"

The man nodded: "If your Highness has nothing else to do, you should go back earlier. If you stay here for a long time, the outsiders will know, and it is inevitable that nothing will happen."

After King Jia left, Shao Jingheng sat alone for a while before getting up and going back to the room.Unexpectedly, he pushed the door open, but heard the creaking sound of the inner room window opening, turned his head suddenly, and saw a person jumping out of the window, but fell forward as if injured, kneeling on one knee.

Before he could think about it, Shao Jingheng quickly stepped forward to help him up, with a trace of helplessness on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty is really used to taking the edge of the sword, but you want to climb the window after a few steps away, and don't know how to go through the door?"

The man bit his lip and said nothing, took a step back and leaned against the wall, using his strength to stand firm, obviously wanting to keep the remaining momentum.

Relatively silent.For a moment, there seemed to be a tacit understanding, Shao Jingheng helped him, and the two went back to the house side by side.

Sipping half-cold tea, Mu Yun prayed softly: "I just seemed to hear Yin Che's voice..."

"King Jia is leaving." Shao Jingheng didn't want to hide anything, he paused, "He didn't come into the house." After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him as he wished.

"What is he doing here?" Mu Yun asked, "It's so early, is there something urgent?"

"No." Shao Jingheng shook his head, looked at the light tea in the cup, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "King Jia came here because he was deeply disturbed by what happened last night. He was afraid that I would hold grudges against the princess, so he interceded."

"Last night... Jinfu??" Mu Yunqi was surprised, "What happened, did Jinfu offend you?"

"The princess wants to match me with Princess Yichun." The man smiled with a calm expression on his face, "So at the banquet last night, I gave the minister a cup of carousel wine." He picked up the teacup, but his eyes stayed on the other person's face .

Mu Yunqi stared blankly as if in disbelief: "She's so confused?! I've already said..." So far, the meaning on the surface is hard to explain.

The man smiled: "Your Majesty, did you know the princess' plan earlier?"

"I..." Mu Yunqi was at a loss for words, but felt his face was hot and dry, and wanted to get up and go to the window to blow some air, avoiding those two threatening eyes, who would have guessed that every movement would mess up the body that was already scattered. All kinds of soreness, swelling, and pain in the tendons, veins, and bones gather together at one time, making people unbearable and slumped.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well, let's rest for a while." As soon as he said the words, a long and powerful arm went around to firmly protect the back of the other person, carrying most of the weight on his body, and moved forward to adapt to his pace. People put back on the couch.

"Jing Heng—" Seeing that he was about to leave, Mu Yun begged him: "Jin Fu only mentioned to me about offering a marriage, but I didn't agree, I don't want her to go her own way..."

The man smiled: "King Jia also said that this was not His Majesty's intention. I am confident that Your Majesty will not make such a ridiculous idea. It must be the princess who made it up on her own." He sighed: "Fortunately, no big mistake was made, but His Majesty will have to deal with it in the future. Please restrain yourself, princess." Turn around and tuck up the quilt for him: "Your Majesty, please rest, I will order breakfast before I go."

He closed his eyes and listened, and heard that the courtyard door was opened and closed, but the person on the bed got up tremblingly, and walked out: He really didn't know how to deal with himself, let alone how to face that person calmly, so he returned to the palace as soon as possible and slept. It may be forgotten the previous day, and if you can't forget it, treat it as being bitten by a dog, and the pain will heal within two days.

The courtyard was still silent, Mu Yunqi tried his best to ignore the discomfort in his body and strode forward. Fortunately, the west wing was never locked, which saved him the trouble of crawling in and out.Entering quietly, the secret door that was not light at first seemed even heavier to him at the moment, and with a little force, the inexplicable pain all over his body made people stare at the eyes, but fortunately, he finally opened a crack, but at this moment he suddenly heard There were footsteps outside the door, and my heart was anxious, half of the strength in my hand was removed. Seeing that the door was closed again, and the footsteps had come behind me, Mu Yunqi had no choice but to appoint, lying on the ground like soft mud, looking at the dark blue The hem of the clothes fluttered forward, looked up to the sky and sighed, resentful: "Even if your breakfast is picked up from the ground, it will take a while?"

Kneeling down to help him up, the man didn't answer and asked instead: "Why is Your Majesty leaving in such a hurry?"

Mu Yunqi gritted his teeth: "I'm afraid you will kill me!"

"So, I could have done it last night, why wait until now?" The man said, rubbing his shoulder with one hand.

Closing his eyes and letting him move, Mu Yun prayed and showed his dejected look: "When did you know about this secret passage?"

The man seemed to smile: "Although the old man in charge of the yard is addicted to alcohol, he is loyal. How dare he hide the intrusion of outsiders in his house? Once he sobers up, he will report back. After thinking about it, I thought I had seen through the mystery. Avoiding His Majesty's eyes and ears, I searched in this courtyard, and saw this secret passage."

"So you withdrew the servants of the nursing home, and no longer sent people to patrol for a long time, in order to lure me into the game?" Mu Yunqi was weak.

The other said boldly: "No, I just don't want to surprise Your Majesty."

There was a moment of silence.

Mu Yunqi suddenly turned his head and stared at the man, which made Shao Dianshuai, who had never changed his face when the mountain collapsed in front of him, suddenly flustered.However, once the words were uttered, they were completely inexplicable: "How did you feel after drinking with Jinfu and you yesterday?"

"Eh?" Shao Jingheng was startled, "It's just... dizziness, loss of consciousness, fever all over..."

really!Mu Yunqi was excited: his symptoms were exactly the same as last night, no wonder he couldn't hold himself back then!

Thinking about it now, the disturbance at Hu's house really annoyed Hu Rui or his maid, so he put medicine in the wine to embarrass him!Besides, the medicinal properties are fierce, he can't help himself after drinking only half a cup, but if there is more, wouldn't it be...

A thought flashed through his mind, and he thought: He was not the only one who drank that wine yesterday...

Turn around and ask urgently: "If you drink too much wine, is there a solution?"

The person behind hesitated for a long while, and paused word by word: "More-drink-cold-water-"
