Chapter 245 Young Man

When Su Wan returned to the palace, her clothes were all soaked and she was shivering with cold.

A hot bath and a bowl of ginger soup drove away the cold.

"Sit down." Gu Huaizhi asked Su Wan to sit in front of the bronze mirror, took out a large towel, and wrung out her long hair: "Why didn't you ask me to go with you to the White Horse Temple today?"

Su Wan looked at his face in the bronze mirror, with gentle eyebrows and slightly pursed lips, dissatisfied with her leaving the palace without permission.

She smiled with curved lips, and traced his eyebrows on the bronze mirror with her fingers: "You were busy, and there was nothing important, so I didn't call you."

Gu Huaizhi frowned, and heard her soft voice: "I am alert. The medicine in my hand can kill several cows, let alone two people. We are very lucky to meet the King of Changxing. He was injured, and I treated his injuries as a repayment for the travel expenses."

"King of Changxing?" Gu Huaizhi paused and fell into deep thought.

When investigating Qi Min, several important officials in Xiliang were briefly checked.

Prince Changxing is one of them.

He came from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his wife and children died. He was saved by Liu, a merchant from Xiliang, and brought back to Xiliang. Liu was a widow. She lost her husband one year after marriage and had been single until she met Prince Changxing.

Liu's father looked down on Prince Changxing and tried to prevent him from coveting Liu's family property. He gave him a shop as a shopkeeper, but was rejected by Prince Changxing. He joined the army for only two or three years before he was crowned a king.

Now Liu's mother is from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that's why the Liu family has business dealings with the Great Zhou Dynasty. After Prince Changxing was crowned, all the Liu family members lived in the palace.

"Wanwan..."

Su Wan suddenly turned around and hugged his waist when she heard this tone, and said in a tender voice: "Trust me more, I am not as fragile as you think."

"Madam Qi is not weak either."

"..."

"I don't want you to get hurt, nor do I want to be separated from my husband and wife for more than ten years because of an accident." Gu Huaizhi was full of awe for this world. Ji Xuan was not weak, and Madam Qi was not weak, but in the end, the two were still separated, and flesh and blood could not recognize each other.

Everyone said that his father was good at boxing and kicking, and had infinite strength. He could knock down a wild boar with one punch, but such a person died in the mouth of a wild beast, and his body was gone.

"Your identity is full of dangers, so be careful." Gu Huaizhi warned him.

"I know." Su Wan knelt up, kissed him at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "There will be no next time."

Gu Huaizhi's face was serious, he turned her over, and pressed her on the stool: "Don't make trouble."

Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled secretly. It felt good to be controlled by someone, and she could feel that someone cared about her.

Gu Huaizhi took out a peach wood comb, combed her long hair, and then gently dried it with a towel. He picked her up by the waist, put her on the soft couch covered with fur, and pulled the quilt over her.

The palace maid brought dinner.

Gu Huaizhi scooped a bowl of hot chicken soup for her to eat, and served her another bowl of rice.

After the two of them finished eating together, Su Wan gave him the prescription: "You ask someone to collect all the herbs." She yawned, hugged the quilt and leaned on the soft couch, drowsy and said: "I'll lie down for a while."

Gu Huaizhi looked up, the palace was very warm, she was only wearing a white middle coat, lying lazily on the soft couch, the quilt was casually draped around her waist, her red lips were delicate, her long black hair was softly scattered under the couch, the lapels on her chest were loose, revealing a trace of snow-white skin, a strand of hair was immersed in it, leading to endless reverie.

She didn't notice anything, one foot came out of the quilt and rested on his thigh.

He covered her chest with the quilt and walked out of the inner hall.

Mo Yuan said: "The King of Changxing returned to the capital ahead of schedule and encountered an attack on the way."

Gu Huaizhi nodded, he listened to what Su Wan said.

"It seems that there are people in this Western Liang Kingdom who cannot tolerate the King of Changxing." Mo Yuan guessed: "Could it be the remnants of the vassal king?"

"It's possible." Gu Huaizhi didn't care: "Western Liang and the Great Zhou are in-laws. As long as the courtiers of Western Liang don't have the intention of rebellion, don't pay attention to them."

Mo Yuan: "Yes."

"You prepare this medicine." Gu Huaizhi handed him the prescription.

Mo Yuan took the prescription and left.

These days, Su Wan personally boiled medicine for Qi Min.

When he was free, Su Wan stayed by Qi Min's side and kept observing her.

But she showed no signs of waking up.

Today is the fourth day and the last day.

Su Wan saw Qi Min finish drinking the medicine, took the bowl and put it down, staring at Qi Min nervously, wanting to ask her how she felt.

Since she drank the medicine, Ji Xuan has not appeared, and only appears by her side after she falls asleep.

Qi Min could naturally find out, but just pretended not to know.

Closing his eyes, Qi Min rubbed his forehead: "I had a dream last night."

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed of some scenes..." Qi Min opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent, his thoughts gradually peeled away: "About Yunzhong City, and Ji Xuan. I'm not sure if it really happened, or if I was too eager to know about the past these days and had an excessive dream."

Su Wan frowned, could it be that this prescription doesn't work?

"Relax your mind, let it go, don't force yourself to remember. If this prescription doesn't work, I'll think of another way." Su Wan thought about it and prepared to go to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager has not made any movement, I'm afraid she is waiting for her to find her, so that she can negotiate with her.

Su Wan doesn't want to be passive, so she needs to do something before going to the Empress Dowager.

Qi Min nodded.

"You sleep for a while." Su Wan saw that the light in her eyes dimmed, and she was drowsy, and stepped on the light to leave.

With a "bang", the door closed.

Qi Min couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a dream.

The imperial study room was extremely quiet in the morning. Sunlight streamed in through the window lattice and spread on the neatly arranged desks. Inside, the princes, princesses and their companions sat, and the only sound was the Taifu reading loudly.

The oldest among them is in his early ten years, and the youngest is seven or eight years old.

Qi Min went to Beijing with her father, and he went to meet the Holy Spirit. She was in the imperial garden with the maid, and came to the imperial study out of boredom.

She was only eight years old at the time. She was lying on the window, looking inside curiously, and happened to see a young man sitting by the window. He has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, but he looks like he is in his early ten years. He is wearing a dark brocade robe, which makes his cold face more solemn. Unlike other people who are listening carefully, he is whittling wood with a dagger, and there is someone beside him. The prototype he made.

Qi Min recognized it as a divine arm crossbow.

She was surprised that the beautiful little brother who grew up in the palace was interested in weapons.

"I have a divine arm crossbow. I can give you one. It's very lethal." Qi Min saw that her little brother was keeping his eyes open and ignored her words. She took off her sleeve arrow, stuffed it under the window and put it away. On his desk, "This is for you first."

The young man grabbed the arrow from his sleeve and stuffed it into her arms. He never looked at her, but Qi Min felt his disgust.
