After wearing the book, the regent quit.

Chapter 51

"Because you said that when the stars are shining, just close your eyes and think about the person you miss in your heart, and you will be able to see them when you open your eyes."

When speaking, the young man's expression was extremely serious, and stars were shining in his dark eyes, as if he was talking about big things, not just talking about his love with his lover.

Recalling that when I said these words to Xiao Fan at that time, I thought that this person was mourning his deceased mother, and he didn't notice that he was already being watched by someone; Twist it up.

At this time there was a sound of footsteps, Jing Fan stood still a few steps outside the gazebo, respectfully said that Ninth Prince Xiao Huan has come, and he is waiting outside Ming Cheng Palace to see him.

Since the last time the four of them met in Zige Palace, the Empress Dowager Chu still sent people to Shen Mu's place several times to test the word, so Xiao Huan didn't tell the story of Shen Mu and Xiao Fan. The Chu family is placed outside the center of power.

This is naturally great news for Shen Mu.

So when the young man walked towards the gazebo quickly, the two of them didn't shy away from it, and looked towards the stone road naturally, Xiao Fan didn't even take the hand on Shen Mu's waist.

Not seen for a few days, Xiao Huan originally walked forward with a smile, his clothes fluttering, but after seeing Shen Mu, a slight crack appeared on his spring-like expression.

A little embarrassed, more helpless.

After saluting, the young man looked at Xiao Fan cautiously, and said uncertainly, "The emperor's birthday will be in three days. In previous years, I would celebrate with my ministers and queen mother. I wonder if there is time this year—"

"Gu already has an appointment this year," Xiao Fan refused without changing his face, and glanced sideways at Shen Mu, his eyes had some meaning, "However, if that person is willing, Gu can forcefully spare some time for you. "

It was clear that he could refuse with a single sentence, but when he spoke, the young man turned his head away, deliberately making Xiao Huan see that the person who came to the appointment was Shen Mu.

Xiao Huan: "..."

Cursing Xiao Fan's childishness secretly in his heart, Shen Mu raised his eyes to meet Xiao Huan's peachy eyes with a little hope, and was about to speak: "Naturally—"

The waist was suddenly scratched lightly by someone, and in the expression of someone hiding a knife in his smile, Shen Mu swallowed "Listen to Your Majesty" and resolutely refused, "Of course not."

The hand on the waist of the words has not been withdrawn, which means that someone is not satisfied, so he can only turn around and smile softly, bite the bullet and pull Xiao Fan's sleeve, and speak in a long voice, "Of course not, your majesty said To stay with me all day."

The ending of the usually clear and indifferent voice was drawn out, and it suddenly had a hint of coquettishness. Before the words finished, Shen Mu was shaken numbly by himself, and Xiao Huan, who was in his peripheral vision, was obviously also frightened, and followed fiercely. flick.

Of the three present, only Xiao Fan felt good, and his perennially indifferent eyes were even stained with a smile; in Xiao Huan's indescribable expression, Xiao Fan raised the sleeve caught by Shen Mu, and sighed helplessly. One sound,

"Since the regent has said so, Gu Ye really can't refuse."

When he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Huan again, Xiao Fan's eyes no longer had the warmth that he had when he looked at Shen Mu just now, and his voice cooled down, "I don't need to bother my ninth brother about this matter."

"..."

"If it's okay, go back first."

Seeing Xiao Huan leaving the stage in defeat with a deflated face, his straight and straight back was slightly bent, showing a look of disappointment, Shen Mu couldn't help feeling amused in his heart, and raised his hand to pat the big hand on his waist, "Xiao Huan is just If I want to celebrate your birthday with you, why do I have to go against him; he has no dissent against you, and he always thinks of you."

This sentence is not a scene. At first Xiao Huan did inquire about his whereabouts, and even secretly intervened in his mansion, but he just suspected that he wanted to frame Xiao Fan, and in the end he paid the due price; from the bottom of his heart, Shen Mu He didn't have too much hostility towards Xiao Huan, a scheming kid who was not deep enough in the city.

"Gu naturally knows that he has no other intentions," Xiao Fan naturally couldn't smile, squinting and looking in the direction Xiao Huan left, "but just because he took you out of the city last time, Gu should let him leave the capital."

After sitting for too long, Shen Mu stood up and stretched his hands and feet, turned around and nodded Xiao Fan's straight nose, and laughed lowly, "You're not very young, you can be jealous."

"Just to be jealous," Xiao Fan snorted coldly, raised his head, bit Shen Mu's hand that he still remembered to withdraw in the future, and said viciously, "When Xiao Huan comes again in the future, do you dare to look at him?"

Seeing that Shen Mu didn't speak, but just tilted his head and looked at him with a smile on his face, Xiao Fan pressed his mouth again, leaving two marks on Shen Mu's index finger, insisting on a promise.

Withdrawing his hand and patted the young man's shoulder lightly, Shen Mu replied with a smile, "You are here, why should I look at others?"

When we parted last time, Su Xin specifically said that he would go to the palace to look for him, and in addition to celebrating Xiao Fan's birthday, the palace needed to be carefully decorated, Shen Mu ignored someone's extreme dissatisfaction, and resolutely stayed away for two days. Instead of staying overnight in the palace, he returned directly to the palace.

Knowing that he has no right to intervene in the affairs of Su Xin and Qin Jing, but if Su Xin asks him for help, Shen Mu asks himself and thinks that he might not be cruel to refuse.

Sure enough, Su Xin "arrived as scheduled" on the second day.

It was already late when Ah Qing knocked on the door to announce, the cold moon was hanging high and the night was dark. Shen Mu had just finished eating when he heard a familiar voice outside the door, saying that Su Xin was waiting outside the gate to see him.

At this time, the weather is getting warmer. Shen Mu, who has always been afraid of the cold, has already taken off the cloak on his shoulders. Su Xin was still wrapped in a thick fox fur when he entered the house. He obviously caught the cold on the road, and he slapped his emaciated face Pale, with an obvious sickness on his face.

Shen Mu saw that his handsome face was pale with cold, and quickly asked Ah Qing to bring some warming charcoal basins, got up and asked Su Xin to sit down on the tea table in the center of the room.

Shen Mu was a little surprised by Su Xin's late-night visit; according to Ah Qing, there was no sign of a carriage passing by the door, so Su Xin came here on foot alone.

Qin Jing had quite a lot of people guarding Su Xin's side, and he would not let him out like this; Su Xin must have used some tricks to escape and come to the Prince Regent's Palace alone.

It suddenly occurred to him that Su Xin was rumored to be very good at medicine, and that day he saw that he should have some martial arts. If he found a chance and escaped with drugs, it would not be impossible.

"Lord Shen, don't worry, no one will know about Su's visit to the Regent's Palace today."

After receiving the Mrs. Tang brought by Ah Qing, Su Xin cast a grateful look at Shen Mu, "Today, Su has something to say to you, my lord."

Since it was Su Xin who came to him on his own initiative, there must be something to ask, Shen Mu didn't ask too much, poured tea with downcast eyes, and waited quietly for Su Xin to speak.

Although it was definitely not his intention, but Su Xin was trapped again, it was indeed Xiao Fan who ordered the arrest to help, and Shen Mu never raised a word of obstruction, and Da Qi even obtained the five cities of Yu State without any effort.

There will be no guilt, but some regrets.

Holding the warm tea in her hand, Su Xin put it to her lips and took a sip, her delicate eyebrows were slightly curved, and she praised, "Everyone in the world says Mr. Shen is the best at tasting tea, it's true."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, without urging, "Mr. Su is over the award."

"Mr. Shen's kindness, Su Xin can't repay it." Frowning lightly, the man with a gentle expression frowned and thought for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and the speed of his speech slowed down obviously, "It's just that Su Xin has become a doctor after a long illness. I know a thing or two about it, and it might be presumptuous to have a question, and I want to ask another question.”

Facing the man's crystal-clear black eyes, Shen Mu's heart skipped a beat, feeling a little nervous for some reason, "Mr. Su, please tell me."

After pondering for a moment, Su Xin slowly placed the jade-colored teacup on the tea table, "Forgive me for taking the liberty, may I ask your Majesty if you have ever had a headache when you were emotionally agitated?"

With a pause on his fingertips, Shen Mu didn't answer for a moment. He looked at Su Xin's expression calmly, and the alarm bells rang in his heart; he wasn't afraid that Su Xin would try it deliberately, but Xiao Fan's headache had to be treated with extreme caution, even if he saw it yesterday. It was enough for Su Xin to see some clues, and he couldn't take the initiative to reveal any information.

"What if there is, so what if there is no?"

"Su has no other intentions, but just feels a little strange." Apparently seeing Shen Mu's sudden defensive look, Su Xin was not in a hurry, and continued on his own, "When I saw you yesterday, Su felt that His Majesty's body The sandalwood scent is a bit strange."

"The sandalwood scent on His Majesty's body is too strong, but not pure."

Intense, but impure.

To put it bluntly, the sandalwood scent on Xiao Fan's body is the scent of unknown impurities mixed with excess sandalwood, mixed together.

"I wonder if Lord Shen has ever heard of Nangyinghua?"

After borrowing paper, pen and ink, Su Xin wrote down the three big characters Vigorous and Powerful on the paper with a slender and thin white pen, and also drew a few simple strokes in the center, turned the paper over to Shen Mu, and patiently explained,

"The smell of this flower is somewhat similar to sandalwood. It is non-toxic and can speed up blood flow. In the southern barbarian land, it is very cold in winter. Rich and noble people sometimes use this flower to soak in water, which has achieved the effect of promoting blood circulation and warming the body; but if it is taken in large quantities at one time, It will die immediately; even if the dose is controlled, taking it for a long time or smoking it, or even sticking to the skin will cause harm to the body."

With a sudden sinking in his heart, Shen Mu understood the meaning of Su Xin's words almost instantly.

It's no wonder that whenever Xiao Fan is emotionally excited, he will have a headache attack. Excessive blood flow can easily cause symptoms.

Seeing that Shen Mu remained silent for a long time, Su Xin put down the ink pen and held Mrs. Tang in her arms again, and said straight to the point, "Nangyinghua only grows on the top of Nanman Mountain, and it is extremely expensive to pick. Those who are able to supply it for a long time should not come here if they want to." not much."

These words have actually been made very clear, not to mention the relationship between the Empress Dowager Chu and Xiao Fan, the only one in the whole country who has the financial resources to supply the palace with Yingying flowers for a long time is Chu An, the General of Chu.

This can also explain why the Empress Dowager Chu sent someone to check on the situation after poisoning herself. It was because she didn't know when Xiao Fan became ill, let alone what the condition was, so she wanted to go to Mingcheng Palace to inquire. .

"Su Xin's medical skills are not good. My lord, it's best to check with the trusted imperial physician in the palace. Only then can I make sure that everything is safe."

"Anyway, Mr. Shen thanked Mr. Su first."

Carefully rolled up and put away the blueprint drawn by the man, Shen Mu couldn't help but look at Su Xin and the two again, the man in front of him was so fragile that he could even be called "vulnerable", but since the first meeting, he didn't believe it According to the outside world, Su Xin is just a golden bird kept by Qin Jing in the palace.

But this time he came here with all his heart and soul, and it was actually for Xiao Fan's affairs, not to seek asylum, which really surprised Shen Mu once.

This time it was Shen Mu who took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Su did me a big favor, I wonder if Shen can repay me a thing or two?"

Under the warm yellow candlelight, Su Xin smiled tenderly and desolately, "Su Xin has committed a serious crime and knows that time is short. If it is possible, after Su Xin's death, can Mr. Shen build my mother's and my tomb together? ?”
