Chapter 51 Chapter 51(1/2)

Luo Shen took Li Mu to his house.

Aju followed in and served.

Luo Shen was surprised to find that her attitude towards Li Mu was respectful. Compared with when she was in Jingkou, it was completely different, and it seemed like she had changed someone else.

She directed her servants to bring in hot water and a good bath, and then made the bed with her own hands. Then she led the people out and brought the door with her.

A Ju's attitude towards Li Mu was naturally following her mother.

What happened this night?

Luo Shen became more and more curious.

After Aju went, Li Mu went into the bath room and Luo Shen got into bed first.

She put down the tent and lay in the quilt, thinking about the doubts in her heart. But within a moment, her attention was attracted by the movements made by Li Mu in the bathroom.

She closed her eyes, but there were sounds of water rushing from time to time in her ears. Somehow, the previous one appeared in Jingkou. One night, she saw him walking out naked.

Imagine that he is inside now

Luo Shen couldn't help but feel a little hot.

She didn't want to listen anymore, but the sound of water was clear.

Luo Shen simply pulled the quilt high and covered his head. After a while, he felt depressed again. He pulled off the quilt and found that the sound of water had stopped.

Through the tent, she saw Li Mu coming out.

He walked while putting on his clothes and quickly put on his clothes, but he did not walk towards the bed, but stopped and looked left and right, as if looking for a place where he could sleep.

When he was just huddled in the quilt, Luo Shen was thinking, what should she do if he went straight to bed and wanted to sleep with her after he came out?

But at this moment, when she saw him coming out, she was still looking for a place to sleep with her before, just like when she was at his home in Jingkou, but she couldn't bear it anymore.

This is her own home, her boudoir.

Luo Shen suddenly had a thought similar to his need to fulfill his friendship with the landlords, and couldn't help but say, "Come on, sleep in my bed!"

Outside the tent, the man paused slightly and walked over.

The curtain was lifted, and Li Mu appeared in front of her and looked at her.

Luo Shen was a little embarrassed, moved in, wrapped himself tightly with a quilt, only revealing his head, and said in an ashamed tone as if nothing had happened: "Madam Ju hadn't prepared your bedding just now. Anyway, my bed is big, so it's okay for you to sleep for one night."

He smiled, thanked him, and turned off the light.

Luo Shen felt that the bed beneath him seemed to sink slightly.

A man was added beside her.

Fortunately, it was dark and he couldn't see anything.

She pushed the quilt outward and said, "Here, you can cover it yourself."

The two of them covered a quilt together.

He covered the quilt and never moved again. Luo Shen closed his eyes and curled his body into a ball, even more motionless, for fear of accidentally touching him.

This is the first time she has had a bed with a man since she was a child.

After the awkward feeling gradually faded, the previous question that troubled her came to my mind again.

She couldn't help but open her eyes, looked at the vague silhouette beside her, and asked in a low voice: "Are you asleep?"

He turned sideways towards her: "What's wrong?"

"What happened tonight? When my mother first came back, her face looked very ugly."

"Your mother went to Qingxi Garden and must have had a quarrel with Mrs. Zhu. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong."

In his voice, it seemed that there was a power that could make people feel at ease.

My mother has a bad temper and has always been disagreeable with that Zhu Jiyue. Under such circumstances, it would be strange that the two of them met and my mother would look good when she came back.

The God of Luo was a little surprised.

But there was still a knot in my heart.

After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't help but asked carefully: "How did you and Zhu have a relationship?"

He said oh, and seemed to laugh.

Luo Shen was sure! Although the tent was dark and she couldn't see his eyebrows clearly, his tone was clearly laughing at her.

She couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and then became angry.

"Why are you laughing at? I just asked casually. Just don't say it! I don't want to listen! I won't smear my ears!"

She turned over and rolled to the innermost side of the bed, immediately swept away the quilt on his body, and turned her back to him.

"It's nothing. I didn't go, so I asked Brother Sun San to go back for me. Then I came to your place."

Behind him, his voice still had a faint smile.

Luo Shen finally felt completely relieved.

Zhizhi's quilt was swept away by himself. He wanted to ask him to cover it back, but he was embarrassed to speak.

"Ami, I'm a little cold. I'm a little bit dispensed with the quilt."

After a while, she heard the man behind her say.

She immediately rolled back, but still pointed the back of her head at him.

He seemed to smile again, covered the quilt, reached out and helped her to plug the quilt horn, and said softly: "Go to sleep."

Luo Shen's lips quietly raised up unconsciously and slowly closed his eyes.

Today is a day off in Japan, but Gao Qiao was busy all day in the Taicheng Yamen office as usual, and he was free in the evening. When he entered the palace, he was told that Emperor Xingping took Wushi Powder last night, and it was hard to be hot in the middle of the night. On this winter night, he wore a single dress and ranted in the imperial garden for a long time. He fell asleep at dawn and had not woken up yet.

Gao Qiao was worried, and remembered that Li Mu went to Bailuzhou to pick up his daughter today, so he asked someone to go and pass on a message to him first, saying that he was still in the palace, and if he took someone back, he would take care of himself and go home first. After the affairs in the palace were finished, he would go back.

He waited outside for a long time until the end of Xu, and asked several times. The eunuch said that the emperor was still asleep, and said that Empress Xu was also accompanying him, knowing that Gao Qiao was waiting for a visit, and he passed the message out and told him to come back tonight and come back tomorrow if there is something to do, so there is no need to disturb the emperor's rest.

After taking Wushi Powder, it makes people feel energetic, laugh and cry, and even have endless bliss. It is the favorite of many scholars and famous scholars, which are effective from the top and the bottom, and are popular all the time.

When Emperor Xingping was young, he probably started taking it to relieve his emotions.

However, Wushi San is extremely dry and hot, and is toxic. Long-term consumption can damage the liver and spleen, and there are even rumors that people die after taking medicine.

Over the years, Gao Qiao has been urging the emperor to quit this thing. But this thing can be addicted. Emperor Xingping obeyed and stopped, stopped and obeyed one after another, and I don’t know how many times I have been tossing in the middle.

In the past two years, the emperor's health has gradually become worse than before. He himself should have known that it is related to taking Wushi Powder, so he tried his best to quit.

Gao Qiao hadn't heard the news that the emperor was continuing to take the food for a long time. He was very pleased, but he didn't expect that this happened again today.

Gao Qiao also has some knowledge of medical principles.

In theory, I took it last night and slept for a day this morning. At this moment, I should have almost woken up.

Gao Qiao gradually felt something was wrong. How could he follow Empress Xu like this and leave like this? After pondering for a while, he immediately sent someone to invite King Xin'an.

King Xiao Daocheng of Xin'an was the clan brother of Emperor Xingping. After Emperor Xingping intentionally alienated the gentry, he relied on this clan brother to rule, and was the most prestigious sect king in the royal family.

He was nearly thirty years old and had a good relationship with Gao Qiao on weekdays. He heard the news and rushed over overnight. Together with Gao Qiao, the two of them brought the imperial physician and forcibly broke into Emperor Xingping's bedroom. They knelt outside the door and asked the queen to allow the imperial physician to come in and inspect.

Empress Xu's face looked very ugly, but when facing King Xin'an and Gao Qiao, she did not dare to force her to stop her, so she had to let her go inside.

Emperor Xingping lay on the dragon bed, blushing and red ears, breathing slowly and quickly, and he was sleeping deeply and unable to wake up. Gao Qiao called him several times, but he did not respond at all.

The imperial physician stepped forward to apply acupuncture. After a long time, he heard a strange sound from the emperor's throat. Then he slowly opened his eyes and woke up. He was helped to sit up by the eunuch and said blankly: "What's the point? How long have I been sleeping?"

Gao Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! It has been a day and a night since you ate Wushi Powder last night!"

Emperor Xingping looked slightly ashamed, and he was afraid to look at Gao Qiao, and murmured: "I thought I hadn't eaten for a long time. It was rare to be happy yesterday. I came back and used a little bit but I won't eat it next time. Gao Xiang rest assured."

Gao Qiao knew that the emperor was weak and was afraid that it would be impossible to eliminate the medicine. He sighed secretly and said nothing. He and Xiao Daocheng temporarily avoided it. After the emperor had finished changing his clothes, he returned to the courtesy of the king and the ministers.

Emperor Xingping asked what happened.

Gao Qiao said: "I met Your Majesty, because I was trying to follow the Murong family at the palace banquet yesterday. There were many clans in the Xianbei clan, but the Murong family had many powerful people, and they were naturally cunning and fickle, and did not talk about kindness. Since our country established, our dynasty had many kindnesses and pledges to the Murong family and gave them high officials and titles. If I had not treated me very well at Dayu, how could the Murong family stand out among the many Hu tribes in the north? However, the Murong family was ambition and rebelled several times, and even took advantage of the Great Yu national crisis to take advantage of the situation and robbed the northern land. Later, because they were defeated by the Xia people, the clan was hidden.

I have been dormant for many years. Now the situation in Northern Xia is shaking and the country is shaking, and the Murong family took the opportunity to make an appointment again. This clan clearly intends to restore the country, so how can I be loyal to my Dayu? Murong Xi failed to make a plan, and now he fled to the north, he must contact his old subordinates. And Murong came to my Dayu substitute, named Xuxu, and clearly seeks shelter, wanting to borrow the name of Dayu and attract people's hearts in the north. I beg Your Majesty to think twice before taking action, and never accept the capricious people! You can drive them away from Dayu, and don't let Murong family take advantage of the name of Dayu and take action again in the north!"

Emperor Xingping looked unhappy, but he still smiled reluctantly, "Gao Xiang, you are too worried. I don't know that Murong's family is capricious. But this time it is not as good as before. Murong's family has been greatly damaged, and his old subordinates are few, so it is unlikely that they will be able to accomplish great things again. Murong now comes to surrender sincerely. If I don't accept it, wouldn't it be that the hearts of those in the north who also intend to surrender to Dayu? Murong's substitute submitted Murong Xi's handwritten blood letter to me."

He laughed a few times, "I think you are afraid you are prejudiced against Murong Xi."

Murong Xi proposed to the eldest princess, and a song of a fu of a thousand gold coins spread throughout Qinhuai. Gao Qiao then married the eldest princess. It is said that he was very disgusted with the fu of a thousand gold coins.

Since he hated the fu, he would probably not have much favorable feelings for Murong Xi, who created this fu.

What's more, during the Northern Expedition, the reason why Gao Qiao failed to advance north as he wished was that he encountered a strong obstacle from Murong Xi, who had already entered the Northern Xia at that time.

There was a strong enemy in front and a domestic restraint in the back. Gao Qiao had no choice but to withdraw his troops to return south in the end.

Emperor Xingping’s meaning is that family hatred and national hatred are used together, and Gao Qiao is bound to have selfishness. How could he not know? He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, every word and sentence are all out of public intention, and there will never be any personal grudges. Murong cannot believe it, please listen to my words!"

Emperor Xingping waved his hand: "You don't have to worry too much about your highness. Yesterday, Murong presented the Golden Sword map, which shows his sincerity."

"Your Majesty! The sword that Murong presented was owned by his founding ancestors. It was called the holy object of the Murong clan. It was actually a testimony to betray me, Dayu, and it was clearly a national humiliation! Your Majesty did not refuse and accepted it happily. What is the reason? As for the Guantu, I dared to ask Your Majesty, "I am all over the Dayu, and I am a group of civil and military officials. Now I still have the intention to go north to recover the two capitals? If not, what's the use of this Guantu?"

Emperor Xingping was immediately stopped and could not answer, his face became extremely ugly. Suddenly, he frowned, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and said, "I still have a headache. If nothing happens, you all will come back. I will discuss this matter in the future."
