Mu Yan felt a little hot, either because the residual heat from the brazier had not dissipated or because Huo Xi was sitting too close to him.
She always has a faint fragrance on her body, which makes people intoxicated.
He cleared his throat and turned away his eyes: "Have the people on the British side withdrawn?"
Huo Xi was stunned, "I forgot."
"Let the people withdraw. Even if he loves you again, he won't want to see you sending people to stare at him."
Huo Xi stood up, called Ting Lei, and gave him some instructions: "Tell Tayue and give him three days' leave, maybe three days' leave as a painter. Also, let Mu Yu keep an eye on the Wu family."
"Yes." Just as he was about to leave, he turned back: "Girl, that Zhang Liang has been pestering his subordinates and wants me to teach him the skills of lightness and concealment."
Huo Xi smiled and said, "Just make your own decision."
"Yes. I understand." He jumped away.
Looking at Huo Xi, Mu Yan also stood up. "Are you leaving?" Huo Xi asked him.
Both of them were stunned.
Huo Xi was a little embarrassed and lowered her head. Mu Yan was in a very good mood, and she couldn't bear to leave him. So why was he the same.
"It's night, so I can't stay long. I'm afraid I'll have to go to other places in Qingzhou in a while."
"What to do?"
"On the southeastern coast, there are frequent Japanese intrusions. The emperor wants to train his navy and plans to send a team of personal guards to supervise the training. I would like to request an order to go there."
"Will it be long?"
"We don't know how long it will take yet."
Huo Xi pursed her lips. Mu Yan looked at her and wanted to reach out and caress her face, but stopped and put his hand behind her back.
"Xi'er, when I come back, how about you come to ask for my hand in marriage?" After saying this, he didn't dare to look at her, only looking at the dark night sky in front of him.
He didn't hear Huo Xi's response for a long time, but he couldn't help turning his head to look at her, and saw her nodding towards him with a smile.
Mu Yan's heart was surging, and he didn't care about etiquette anymore. He took a step forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Their hearts were beating thumpingly.
Qing Xi can be argued.
They were all a little excited. Mu Yan held her face in his hands and looked at her. He felt that none of the thousands of flowers in the world were as beautiful as the one in front of him. He couldn't help but want to pick it and hide it in his arms so that no one would see it again.
He pecked Huo Xi on the mouth and flew away before Huo Xi could react.
In the blink of an eye, no one was seen.
It was so fast that Huo Xi thought he was hallucinating. It was as if the person had never been there. But the warmth on his lips was still there.
"You're a disciple." Huo Xi laughed and cursed.
A certain slut fell down in his own courtyard and returned to his bedroom hand in hand, closing the door and being shut out by Kan Er who followed him.
"What's wrong, young master? You're a little stupid today." Maybe something happened to Miss Huo.
He stepped forward to knock on the door, but was stopped by Li Yi.
"I want to ask the young master what's going on. Why are you still holding me back?"
"If you have time, go find Madam." Li Yi replied to him.
"What are you looking for madam for?"
You idiot, the young master is already enlightened, but you still haven't enlightened yourself. "Let's find my wife to see which girl is suitable for you. Don't you want to start a family?"
"Ah? I want to start a family?" He looked at Li Yi suspiciously, "You want to start a family?"
"I don't want to." Li Yi shook his head firmly, "I will not consider it until the young master gets married."
Kan Er tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Then I'm the same as you."
Forget it, let him go. Li Yi pulled him away.
The next day, the genius was bright, and the servants came to the ancestral hall and opened the door of the side room next to it.
Mrs. Wu was fully clothed and curled up on a small bed.
Seeing the high-ranking lady reduced to this, the two servants who came in couldn't bear it. They didn't know what happened. There were a lot of discussions in the house, and they didn't know whether it was true or not.
"Madam, we have been ordered to clean up for you."
Wu opened her eyes drowsily, "Are you going to send me on my way?"
The two servant girls waved their hands in panic, "No, no, the Duke asked us to clean up your wife and take you to the temple to pray for blessings."
"Go to the temple to pray for blessings?" Wouldn't you even let her die in the house? Wu smiled sarcastically.
Sitting on the bed, being taken care of by two maids... After a while, everything was tidied up.
Two maids helped her out of the side door and got into a blue cloth carriage. As soon as the carriage drove away, another green cloth carriage followed behind.
I don’t know how long I walked, from the gate of the mansion at dawn until the sun was at the top of the sky. Finally, I arrived at the foot of Plum Blossom Mountain.
Wu was helped out of the carriage and looked around: "Did you send me to Lingyun Temple?"
The two servants actually didn't know where they were going, they just followed the carriage and arrived at Meihua Mountain in the suburbs.
People also got off the green cloth carriage at the back. Zhang Fu was helped down by Zhang Jin and his son, and the couple looked at each other.
"The Duke is here too?" Wu said to him.
Zhang Fu didn't say anything. He walked slowly to her side and said, "Let's go." He took the first step.
Two palanquins were called and carried by bearers, and the couple reached the top of the mountain.
The people sent by Zhang Fu were waiting at the gate of the temple early in the morning, "My lord, everything has been arranged."
Zhang Fu nodded and entered a secluded Zen courtyard in the backyard of the temple. It was usually used by pilgrims, but this courtyard had been cleared out.
"Master Guo, did you bring me to worship Buddha?" Wu had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"You have poisoned Rou'er, so you should first recite the scriptures for seven, seven and forty-nine days to Rou'er, to save her some merits and remove some karma for you. For the sake of our relationship as husband and wife, I also
Let you live a few more days."
Wu thought that Zhang Fu brought her here because he wanted her to lead her to practice or to be locked up for a few years and a half. He couldn't let her die outside. There was still hope.
But when she suddenly heard what he said, she was stunned. I didn't expect that this person was really cruel and really wanted her to die outside.
Wu collapsed all of a sudden and shouted at Zhang Fu: "Rou'er Rou'er, you only remember Li Xinrou! What about me? I am Wu, I am just Wu! I also have a name! My name is Wu Ruizhu! I also have a name
!”
"Did I poison Li Xinrou? It was the old woman Wang! It was she who prepared the poisoned wine. She took me and Mother Sun there. It was she who asked me to catch Li Xinrou and pour the poisoned wine into her mouth! It was she,
It’s all her! Nothing happened to her, but I’m going to die! Is this fair!”
"She is your mother. When you learned the truth, you never said a harsh word to her! But what about me, should I die!"
Seeing Wu's crazy look, Zhang Fu couldn't bear it. He took a step forward and wanted to stop her: "Wu..."
"Wu family, Wu family, I'm just Wu family!" Wu family waved him away bitterly.
"How hard it has been for me to get to where I am today! I could have found a man to marry in my hometown and be a husband and raise children, but my parents asked me to go to a high-ranking family. As a result, the other party didn't like me and only wanted me to be their concubine.
.I finally got the chance to be my wife, but she refused to die! Everyone in the county knew that I was going to get married, but she refused to die!"
"Then you don't have to hurt her."
"Then what should I do? Should I become a concubine, or should I become the laughing stock of the whole county? Your Rou'er refuses to be a concubine, so why should I be a concubine for others? How have I failed others!"
