Chapter 48
Su Xin coughed up blood at the banquet that day, although nothing happened, it inevitably attracted the attention of civil and military officials.
It was not for anything else, but because after that day, the people of Yu Kingdom used the pretext of "not being fit to move" to ask Su Xin to stay in the palace; even though he lived in a relatively remote place in the palace, they had entertained him in the past There are precedents for kings and nobles, but after all, they are all noble people, and it is the first time for a grassroots like Su Xin.
Besides, the rumors about him and King Yu are not secret, as long as you inquire a little bit, you will know.
Therefore, when Xiao Fan agreed to Su Xin to stay in the palace, and sent the imperial physician, guards, and many servants to serve, there were different opinions in the palace, and many speculations arose for a while.
Even the Empress Dowager Chu couldn't bear the confusion, and once again took the initiative to send someone to send a message to Shen Mu, inquiring about the relationship between Su Xin and Xiao Fan on the sidelines, and finally offered an olive branch of cooperation again.
Under Ah Qing's slightly confused eyes, Shen Mu sat on the wooden platform connected to the side door, threw the note sent by the Queen Mother Chu into the charcoal basin, then picked up the blueprint in his hand and raised his eyes to the backyard, frowning slightly, Picking up the pen and dipping it in the ink, he lowered his eyes to make a few minor strokes on the rice paper.
On the paper is a detailed dissection diagram of a house, from the front yard to the back yard, the promenade that shuttles through each aisle, and even the interior furnishings of each house are described in detail.
The blueprint is very large, fully occupying the entire tea table, holding a brush in his hand, Shen Mu leaned forward slightly, picked up the pen to write in the blank space, stopped to think for a moment from time to time, and then wrote again, with a very serious look on his face.
The weather has begun to warm up gradually, and the temperature is quite warm in the morning when the sun is just right. When the breeze blows gently, you can still feel the warmth on your face, which is very pleasant.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Mu finally put down the brush and sat up straight, looked at the densely packed small characters on the paper and chuckled, his frowning finally relaxed, turned his head and asked Ah Qing who was standing with his hands down, and asked softly, "At this moment, Your Majesty Is it in the royal study?"
Ah Qing nodded, and said "Yes".
"I'll go to the Imperial Study Room first." Shen Mu smiled, rolled up the blueprint in his hand and tied it with string, supported the table and stood up, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked again, "You prepare again Let's go back to the palace tonight."
After handing over the blueprint in his hand to Ah Qing, Shen Mu left Mingcheng Palace and was going to the Yushufang to inform Xiao Fan.
Three days later it will be Xiao Fan's birthday. It stands to reason that the monarch's birthday should be celebrated seriously, but Xiao Fan doesn't like extravagance and waste, so he never celebrates his birthday, so the palace hasn't made any preparations this year.
On the way to the Imperial Study Room, we passed the shallow lake pavilion in the back garden. At this time, the sun was just right, and the lake was shimmering and covered with silver light. Shen Mu couldn't help but take a second look, and then he paused, and his eyes stopped at the center of the pavilion by the lake. Standing on a figure.
The man was thin and thin, with his hands behind his back and black hair scattered down behind him. His white clothes were dancing with the wind, and his whole body was so fragile that he could be easily blown down by a gust of wind.
After the two exchanged a few words in the house that day, Shen Mu never saw Su Xin again; the people of Yu Kingdom guarded him very tightly, not to mention that the people sent by Shen Mu couldn't find any information, even The people Xiao Fan sent to guard him did not bring back any news.
Fortunately, in the memorial presented by the imperial physician, it was said that his health was improving day by day.
"I haven't seen Mr. Su for a few days, but my health is better."
Under the extremely vigilant eyes of the envoy of the Kingdom of Yu, Shen Mu walked forward slowly, and Su Xin on the opposite side also turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was him, he smiled softly, and said softly after saluting,
"Your Majesty the Regent misses you, Su is much better now."
The man's face was still as pale as paper, but his spirit was indeed much better than the previous few days; Shen Mu felt relieved seeing this, and waved his hand to ask Su Xin to sit down on the stone platform beside him. Staring at his messenger, he said coldly with a blank face,
"This king has something to say to Mr. Su, you should step back first."
The messenger was shocked by Shen Mu's sudden indifference and indifference for a moment, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say; after hesitating for a moment, he still turned his head hard and said, "Our king once ordered that the villain should guard Su Su at every step. Sir, I also ask the Lord Regent not to embarrass the villain."
Coldly flinging his eyes, Shen Mu was about to reprimand him, when Su Xin beside him said calmly, "Your Majesty Regent, tell him to stay here, it's fine."
Su Xin glanced at Shen Mu gratefully, but asked the envoy to stand a dozen steps away, then bowed slightly to Shen Mu, and said softly, "Su thank you again, sir."
Please let the wind be stronger by the lake, the two sat down on the stone table in the gazebo, Shen Mu turned his head and looked sideways at the scenery outside the pavilion, looked at the thin plain white gauze on Su Xin's body, frowned, no Resist a reminder,
"It's windy here, why don't we change places."
What you said was already overstepping, Su Xin was really taken aback when she heard the words, she tightened her gauze, and asked softly with a kind smile, "If you have something to tell Su, please tell me, Su has a good impression of you, if you All right, I'll do my best to help."
After finishing speaking, he lowered his eyes and laughed at himself, "But Su's appearance may not be of much help to you."
After meeting for the first time that day, Su Xin's lifeless eyes repeatedly lingered in Shen Mu's mind. Before falling asleep, he carefully recalled the plot of the next book, but in the end he could only remember a few words about him, and they were all about his departure. go.
In the world centered on Xiao Fan, Su Xin is just a passer-by; after Su Xin fled to Daqi, the King of Yu Kingdom sent an envoy to express his goodwill, on the surface he said he wanted to apologize for the friction between the two countries some time ago, In fact, it was because they found out that Su Xin was in the capital, so they had to ask Xiao Fan to arrest him for him, and then trapped him in the palace.
In this incident, Xiao Fan was just a few sentences, and the description of Su Xin in the book was just "died in the suburbs of Beijing on the way back" hastily.
Shen Mu had asked Xiao Fan two days ago if the other party had made other promises besides dozens of boxes of gold and silver treasures and precious medicines.
Xiao Fan handed him a handwritten letter in vigorous handwriting, promising that if Xiao Fan could help him keep Su Xin in the palace until he took Su Xin home, he promised to cede five cities to Da Qi .
Yes, it is a word like "take home" that even brings love and care.
The initiative to test the first meeting was just because of the similar experience and felt pity in his heart. Looking at the sincere apology in Su Xin's eyes at this time, Shen Mu felt inexplicably ashamed in his heart. Although it was not his intention, he read the letter and clearly Knowing that Su Xin was forced to be trapped in the palace, she never once said "let him go" in front of Xiao Fan.
He had an intuition that this matter was beyond his control.
"I heard that Mr. Su is proficient in medical skills." After finding a topic at random, Shen Mu said in a gentle tone, "When Mr. Su is in better health, I wonder if I can ask you a question or two."
Su Xin said modestly, "Your Excellency's praise, Caomin is not proficient, but he has become a doctor after a long illness—"
The voice stopped abruptly, Su Xin raised her eyes and looked ahead, the warm and watery expression just now disappeared, replaced by a cold vigilance, which was a thousand times sharper than the alienation and indifference on the first meeting day.
Turning his head following his gaze, Shen Mu was not far outside the gazebo, and saw Xiao Fan walking towards them with a man of the same height as him, followed by two long rows of palace servants.
The man is similar in height, but his temperament is several times darker than Xiao Fan's. His terrifying aura can be felt from dozens of steps away, making people breathless.
If it is said that Xiao Fan is difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger in front of people other than Shen Mu, then the man in front of him should have a dark aura close to death, which makes people shudder.
At this time, the very respectful salute of the envoy of the Kingdom of Yu sounded in his ears, and the man strode straight towards the gazebo without looking sideways, his eyes never falling on Shen Mu.
Stepping to Su Xin's side, Shen Mu could feel the man's fluctuating emotions from a short distance away; Su Xin stood still, until the man was only half a step away from him, and then suddenly took half a step back, with unknown hands in his hands. When an extra sharp dagger was brought out, it stabbed fiercely at the man's throat.
The movement was so fast that Shen Mu could only see the afterimage left in the air when the arm was swung.
The tall man didn't dodge, didn't even close his eyes, and let Su Xin stab him, and finally stopped only half an inch away from his neck, the tip of the knife trembling slightly.
As if it had nothing to do with him, the man's tone was flat as if he couldn't see the point of the knife on his neck, and he took out a pair of pure gold handcuffs from his arms, and he raised his hand to hold Su Xin as if he could break it easily Wrist, slowly lock the hand//cuff belt, the lock buckle makes a slight sound.
Hearing another light sound, the man actually clasped his left hand in the remaining ring.
Lowering his eyes, the man took a deep look at Su Xin, stroked Su Xin's increasingly pale face with his unfettered hand, and sighed, "Your greatest weakness is always your needless kindness and cowardice towards the enemy."
"Su Xin, you are still so useless."
Her lips were bloodless, and Su Xin's whole body was shrouded in the shadow of a tall and broad man, and her whole body was crumbling.
In the dead silence, Xiao Fan came to Shen Mu's side, silently held his cold hand, and unceremoniously issued an expulsion order to the man, "Hurry up and take away anyone you see."
"That's natural."
The man looked back, gave Shen Mu a meaningful look, thanked Xiao Fan's increasingly displeased eyes, and then cut a hand knife on the back of Su Xin's neck neatly, and picked up the fainted man , and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight without looking back.
