    The next day, Xu Yuanqing was just about to deliver medicine to Xiang Fu, when he heard Zuo Yue yell, "Young Master Xiang is here", he turned back to the table, and took a book to read.

    "Shizi." Xiang Changyuan jumped into the room, waved his hand to indicate that Zuoyue could go play at the same time, went straight to Zhuobian, stood beside him and stretched his head to see what he was looking at, so engrossed.

    Feeling that he was getting closer, Xu Yuanqing closed the book with a snap, turned to look at him, might as well fall into a pair of big black and white eyes that were harmless to humans and animals, and froze for a moment.

    Why does this kid look so good, he recovered from his illness so quickly?

    "Hmm!" Xiang Changyuan suddenly raised his head and stepped back, covering his nose with one hand while touching something on his body with the other.

    Xu Yuanqing stuffed the handkerchief on the table into his hand, covered his nose with the handkerchief to Xiang Changyuan before he lowered his head, the handkerchief was immediately stained red, his ears turned red immediately, and hurried out.

    "..."

    It took a while before he came back awkwardly, with some red marks on his nose, he hid the freshly washed handkerchief behind him, looked at the eldest son who was sitting lazily and comfortably in the grand teacher's chair, and he hesitated to explain, "These days my elder brotherCook soup every day, make up for it."

    Xu Yuanqing didn't care about his embarrassing appearance. Seeing that his hands and feet were flexible and full of energy just now, he didn't look like he was seriously injured. He frowned slightly, "It's only been a few days, and you're going out?"

    Xiang Changyuan was displeased to see him, so he walked around on the spot, trying to prove that he was fine, and said with a smile, "Small injury, nothing serious."

    Seeing his ruddy complexion, and a little fatter than before, Xu Yuanqing believed it, and seeing his stupid face, he was quite disgusted, raised his hand to signal him not to turn around, and waited for him to stop and get up to pour him tea, "You come hereSo early?"

    It's less than Chen's time now, if he didn't want to deliver the medicine earlier, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep until the afternoon, why did he get up so early as a patient.

    Xiang Changyuan replied, "I'm going to report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice today."

    Xu Yuanqing vaguely recalled that on the seventh day of the lunar new year, he had said that he would serve in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but his family members were all in the Ministry of Military Affairs, so he thought it would be convenient for him to go to the Ministry of Military Affairs, but he was more interested in justice.

    "You haven't recovered yet, the Ministry of Criminal Justice can give you a vacation."

    "No, I'd better go earlier." Xiang Changyuan blew on the hot tea in his hand, stared straight at Xu Yuanqing, I don't know why I haven't seen him for a few days, and his indifferent temperament is a little sharper, but it is a little more than usualVery energetic, very good.

    The two chatted a little, and Xiang Changyuan took out a black sheathed dagger from his waist, which fit well in his sleeve, put it on the table and stepped back in front of him, "Use this for self-defense in case of crisis."

    Xu Yuanqing was somewhat different. He picked up the dagger and looked at it. The scabbard was exquisite, and the blade was shiny and unblemished. It was much easier to handle than the one hidden on his body. He tilted his head to look at the person without saying a word.

    Xiang Changyuan felt guilty because of his peachy eyes, put down his teacup and said goodbye, "It's not good to be late, son, I'll go first." He disappeared before the words fell.

    Xu Yuanqing lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, took off the dagger hidden in his waist, and replaced it with the one given to Chang Yuan, suddenly remembered what Zuo Yue was, Zuo Yue rushed in, and threw the medicine bottle over, he hurriedly caught it, his feetUnable to stand still, he ran outside again.

    After chasing out the gate of the mansion, saw a figure, calling for someone and running.

    Xiang Changyuan supported him and asked what's wrong.

    Zuo Yue was out of breath, and handed him the medicine bottle, "Your Majesty asked me to give it to you. It is the best way to heal knife wounds without leaving scars."

    Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand, Xiang Changyuan raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes overflowed with joy, and whispered, "Your Majesty."

    Zuo Yue watched him leave in a daze. Among the people coming and going, he was tall and slender, dressed in red and black, with a slightly swaying ponytail.

    He was unconsciously fascinated, and Xiao Yu'an didn't even notice when he was by his side.

    "Child, you stand in the middle of the road and block the road."

    There was a sudden sound in his ears, Zuo Yue was startled, seeing that it was Xiao Yu'an who calmed down a little, looking around for the passing carts to avoid him was really strenuous, so he quickly dodged to the side, Xiao Yu'an followed him to the side of the road.

    Zuo Yue saluted politely, Xiao Yu'an still couldn't leave his fan in the winter, and his robes were the most popular styles in the capital at the moment. The brocade clothes were elegant and suave, and the fan tapped his hand lightly to signal him not to be too polite.

    "Why are you here, son?"

    Xiao Yu'an smiled, and nodded his fan to the side, "I met Mr. Xiang on the road, so I specially sent him here."

    Zuo Yue nodded, surprised that Mr. Xiang actually made friends with Mr. Xiao.

    Xiao Yu'an looked at him in a daze. He didn't expect that there would be such a lovely person beside Xu Shizi. He walked forward at a leisurely pace, the direction was Xu Mansion. Seeing that he hadn't followed, he turned around helplessly, "Isn't it cold outside?"

    Zuo Yue followed him in a daze, forgetting to lead him the way.

    It wasn't until everyone arrived at the door that I didn't realize it. I didn't communicate in advance. It was too late. Xiao Yu'an had already entered the room and said, "Your Majesty is well."

    He thought Shizi was about to get angry, so he plunged his head into the room, and one of them fell to the ground without standing still. There was a sound of "bang dong", which startled the two people in the room. Zuo Yue looked at Shizi first, and saw that his expression was normal.The disgust and worry in his eyes were for himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and before Xiao Yu'an who was close could help him, he slapped his butt and said in a muffled voice, "I'll make tea."

    Xu Yuanqing signaled Xiao Yu'an to sit down, but he shook his fan unceremoniously, looked around his residence without hesitation, and saw the piano on the desk at a glance.

    He took a few steps forward, slammed the fan lightly on the table a few times, and looked at Xu Yuanqing meaningfully, "I told Xiang Changyuan what to do with this violin. It turned out to be a gift for a beautiful woman after playing a good violin."

    Xu Yuanqing didn't bother to pick up his words, and let him think that Qin was given to him.

    Anyway, Xunniang is indeed a beauty, and what he said is not wrong.

    Xiao Yu'an didn't care whether he responded or not, and said to himself, "I thought Xiang Changyuan would vomit blood from you, and you would make things difficult for me in this capital. I didn't expect Xu Shizi to like fools."

    As he said that, he still went forward and stood in front of the desk, smiling more meaningfully.

    Xu Yuanqing lazily raised his eyes to look at him, and gave the order to evict the guest calmly, "If you don't want to sit, then go out."

    "Hiss~" Xiao Yu'an felt bored when he saw that he was not talking, so he sat down with his fan on, and put the fan on the tea table with a "snap", his cynical expression instantly subsided, and he changed into a more serious one.

    Xu Yuanqing also said seriously, "Why, Uncle Xiao doesn't know how to solve the case, so he sent you here to find out?"

    Dragons and crouching tigers are hidden in the capital, and eyeliner can be seen everywhere. Although the matter of the national teacher's injury has not been reported, I am afraid that many people have already got the news and are all concerned about self-protection. Only Xiao Zheng is still roasting on the open fire.

    As long as the cloth cabbage girl is in the Ministry of punishment, he will not live in peace for a day.

    Zuo Yue brought tea, Xiao Yu'an took it with a flick of his sleeves, held the tea cup to warm his hands, and slowly answered his question, "There is really no need to probe your tone, I'm here for another matter."

    He is the concubine son of the Xiao family, and his father and brother are responsible for the important affairs of the family. He has not been disciplined since he was a child. He has been used to being loose since he was a child, and he is not interested in government affairs, but he is well versed in business.

    He has made a lot of money over the years and lives a carefree and easy life. If it weren't for the old man in the family being an official in the court, he wouldn't want to go through this muddy water.

    Xu Yuanqing blew on the tea, took a sip, and looked up at Zuoyue. He usually made tea from his father. How could he be willing to make the tea that his sister gave him today? This kid!

    He turned his head and saw that Xiao Yu'an didn't look very happy, "What's the matter?"

    "I heard that the prince hired a witch doctor to treat his illness."

    Before Xiao Yu'an could finish his sentence, Xu Yuanqing's expression suddenly changed, his eyes became sharp, and then he calmed down a little after a while, without asking him how he knew it.

    "The woman you rescued from the Ministry of Punishment lived in my inn."

    Xiao Yu'an had nothing to hide, he told the truth, smiled lightly, "No, it's not mine alone, I only occupy half, and the other half belongs to someone else."

    Xu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, not interested in who the inn belonged to, and only sighed in his heart: Really rich!

    He took a deep breath, rubbed his fingertips against the table, and asked coldly, "So, you're sick too?"

    Xiao Yu'an: "..."

    "Not really."

    "Looking for my bad luck?"

    Xiao Yu'an was choked, and he cursed in his heart: No wonder the son has no friends, who can bear the yin and yang.

    "Uh... I just want to ask about Gu poison."

    Hearing this, Zuo Yue's eyes widened, and he tried to hold back his composure so he didn't turn his head to look at Shizi, otherwise it would be obvious that something was wrong, he was flustered, he was still young and couldn't hide his troubles, his eyes were bulging, his neck and head twistedBabbling, like a goose.

    Xu Yuanqing turned his head to see his inhuman appearance and was taken aback for a moment, then slapped him on the head straight, and sighed while watching Xiao Yu'an look at the silly child, even more helpless.

    "Are you free to inquire about what Gu Po is doing?"

    "Two years ago, a little girl died in my yard. I couldn't find out the reason. Later, I met a warlock. I saw that he had some real skills and told the little girl's death. He said he couldn't see the body. I can't be sure, butHearing the appearance of death, it seems that he has been poisoned by Gu poison."

    Xiao Yu'an stated to him seriously, he was completely different from Mr. Xiao who usually had a hippie smile, "This matter has always been a thorn in my heart, and I hope the prince can give me some convenience."

    He had heard about the little girl in his courtyard, and he had seen him lose his mind in those few days, and he hadn't forgotten it after two years, and this thought was used on his servants, let alone the capital, and there were very few princes and nobles in Dasheng..

    He was hesitating, when he turned his head and saw Zuo Yue's sad face, his eyes were bright, looking at him eagerly.

    "..."

    He pushed his face away again, don't start with disgust, and said to Xiao Yu'an angrily, "The witch doctor is not my own, but a friend who sells his favor to invite him. The old man came here through mountains and rivers. I respect him as the guest of honour., I can’t do it conveniently for you to ask him, so I can at most ask one more question for you.”

    Xiao Yu'an knew from his words that he agreed, so he quickly stood up to express his thanks.

    Xu Yuanqing waved his hand, signaling him to sit down.

    He leaned forward, the blanket on his body slipped down, and he raised his eyes to stare at him, "Did something strange happen to your girl before she died?"

    Xiao Yu'an lowered his eyes slightly to avoid his gaze, stretched out his hand to serve tea, and said to him from left to right, "My girl likes to make a fuss, and she insisted on buying me a panchi lantern for the Lantern Festival, and when she came back, she was crying, and she couldn't even be coaxed, I got annoyed later, so I let her cry, but I didn't expect the little girl to be so angry that she cried herself to death."

    He always gave people a careless feeling when speaking and doing things, and there was never sadness in his eyes. Even if he bowed his head and couldn't see his expression at this moment, he could still feel a lingering sadness from the tone of his pretended laughter.

    Xu Yuanqing saw that he didn't want to say that he didn't want to ask any more, Zuo Yue saw this and went to refill Xiao Yu'an's tea.

    In the afternoon, Xu Yuanqing was blowing the cool breeze under the eaves, covered with layers of blankets, and put a few pots of charcoal fire beside the rocking chair, and Zuo Yue moved a chair to accompany him to blow the air.

    The two big masters who managed him in the mansion were not there, now he has the final say in the Xu mansion, and Zuo Yue can't threaten him with what he told his wife, so he can only do his best to take care of him.

    Xu Yuanqing was sleepy after reading the story book, so he covered his face with the book, feeling drowsy, Zuo Yue saw that he was asleep, went to the house to find two mattresses to cover him, and asked someone to move a screen for himHe keeps out the cold wind.

    He didn't feel relieved until everything was done, remembering that Gu Sanzhi said that his prescription had been changed, and went to stare at him personally.

    The cold wind is bitter, the dead branches are swaying, and the scattered leaves in the courtyard are shaking slightly. A mischievous wind blows across the screen to tease the beauty's hair and blow the fluff on the blanket.

    The loneliness of winter is scattered everywhere with the wind.

    Xu Yuanqing smelled a familiar smell in his sleep, and the noisy environment in the dream suddenly became peaceful, as if a god or Buddha was opening the way for him, and all the demons and ghosts disappeared, allowing him to go directly to the divine realm.

    In the mist, he seemed to see gods and Buddhas, but when he looked back suddenly, there was nothing.

    "Um?"

    Xu Yuanqing woke up, the twists and turns in the dream were vivid, his frowning brows could not be stretched, he was slightly startled when he saw the screen in front of him, then he felt that his chest was hard to breathe, and he looked at the layers of blankets and mattresses on his bodyThere may be ten floors.

    He reached out helplessly to peel off a few layers first, and when he looked up, he saw Xiang Changyuan's smiling face.

    He was sitting next to him, holding his notebook in his hand, staring at him without speaking, it seemed that he came here while he was still asleep.

    "Aren't you going to the Criminal Department?"

    Nodding to Chang Yuan, "Well, it's over."

    Xu Yuanqing slept a little dazedly. He lifted the mattress halfway and realized that he was breathing smoothly. He sat up and looked at Chang Yuan with a smile on his face, "What time is it?"

    "You hour."

    "Aren't you going home?"

    "Stop by to see you."

    Xu Yuanqing rubbed his temples, the cold wind blew his mind much clearer, heard Xiang Changyuan opened his eyes and told nonsense and ignored him, stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

    The Ministry of Punishment is in the east and the Xu Mansion is completely in two directions, which way to follow.

    "Goodbye, son." Xiang Changyuan stood up and patted his wrinkled clothes, and took a few candies from his pocket to him when he left.

    After a while, the medicine and dinner came together, Zuo Yue looked at the candy in his hand, and asked happily, "Master Xiang?"

    Xu Yuanqing nodded, got up and stretched, and snatched the candy back from Zuo Yue's hand.
