Chapter 44: Injury

The King of Huainan, Duke Ding and his party personally escorted Xiao Rang back to the mansion, waiting for the imperial physician to diagnose and say that it did not hurt his muscles and bones, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.

When the King of Huainan saw Xiao Rang's injuries, he still couldn't let go. He heard from the imperial physician that Xiao Rang would wake up soon, so he decided not too late to wait for Xiao Rang to wake up in the Marquis of Pingyang before returning to the palace.

Gu Xiyan knew that he and Xiao Rang had a deep relationship, so he didn't have to persuade him, so he could only ask his servant to show the tea to the King of Huainan in the flower hall of Ningyuan's main room.

I saw the King of Huainan sitting on the chair of the Grand Master with a golden sword, looking out of the flower hall from time to time, and people were sitting in the room, and the soul had no idea where it had been flying.

He absent-mindedly held a teacup with ice cracks. The precious golden mountains were soaked in the teacup. The fragrance was scented, but a few mouthfuls of tea poured into his throat, but there was a bit of chewing wax.

The King of Huainan is looking through Qiushui, and the King of Huainan comes in with a curtain. He asks him, "Report to the prince, the marquis has just woken up. Please come over and see..."

Before he finished speaking, the King of Huainan put down the teacup with a "splash" and raised his foot to go out. In a short while, he disappeared into the corridor.

Seeing this, Tianyu was so amazed and laughed, "The Prince of Huainan is really true", and followed with lotus steps.

...

In the gauze tent, Gu Xiyan sat on the edge of the bed, carrying a small porcelain bowl to feed Xiao Rang spoonful of warm water. Seeing that the King of Huainan came, he stood up and said, "The prince and the marquis talk slowly, so I will go outside first."

On the wide bed, the tall man had a handsome face pale and blood-colored face, and was lying lazily leaning against the backrest half-lying. Seeing Gu Xiyan get up and leave, he licked the water stains on the corner of his mouth. He actually hooked Gu Xiyan's gauze dress and pulled it a few times before he reluctantly let go.

Seeing this, the King of Huainan covered his eyes with a look of disdain.

When Gu Xiyan and a group of maids disappeared into the inner room, the King of Huainan stepped forward and punched Xiao Rang in the chest, frowned and said, "Xiao Yanli, are you kicked in the brain by a donkey?"

"Do you know that those wolves are beasts, beasts! Do you think they are hunting?

Unarmed and bare-handed...that's a group of wolves! It's a blessing that you didn't get bitten!"

When the imperial physician was just in the consultation, he asked Gu Xiyan and Xiao Rang how the injury came about, how long it had been, whether he had touched water, etc.

The King of Huainan first saw two bloody scars on Xiao Rang's arm with his own eyes, and then listened to Gu Xiyan's experience of the two for half a day and a night, and his eyes almost fell out.

Xiao Rang raised his eyelids, "Isn't this good?"

The King of Huainan was so angry that he had no temper. "God should teach you a lesson! He should ask you to remember it for the rest of his life!"

The King of Huainan was a few years older than Xiao Rang. At this time, he unconsciously showed the aura of elders teaching his younger generations a lesson. Xiao Rang was so angry that he was trembling.

He originally wanted to scold Xiao Rang for a few words, but he swallowed it back - if it were him, he would have tried his best to save Princess Huiru.

What else can I do if I carry a sedan chair and marry my wife who is in the family tree?

Just spoil your life!

Xiao Rang, with a pale handsome face, suddenly said to the old god, "I heard that the prince hasn't seen each other these days, thank you."

The King of Huainan waved his hand lightly, "All of you are brothers who have passed your life, why do you mention the word "Thank you"?"

"Ah... Since the Marquis is awake, I will feel at ease. The Marquis will take care of the illness in the mansion.

I haven't returned to the house for a day and a night, but I'm afraid the princess will worry, so it's time to go back now."

The King of Huainan walked to the door and turned around and said, "If you look back, if you lack any precious medicinal materials, just send someone to the palace to get them."

Xiao Rang nodded, indicating that he knew.

He squinted his eyes, looked at the back of the King of Huainan, and thought to himself that the prince was indeed not shameless enough. If he were me, he would have taken the opportunity to thank him just now and take the opportunity to return the village in Nanyu Mountain.

However, Xiao Rang thought about it seriously. If King Huainan really had a shameless attitude and asked for it, would he agree?

On the bed, the tall and handsome man suddenly curled his lips and smiled - what are you thinking about?

What fell into his hands, Xiao Rang still wants to go back?

There is no door.

——

That night, Xie's mansion.

Xie Wanxu sat upright on the chair of the magistrate in the upper head, looked at Ruian who was kneeling in the lower head, and took a sip of Dahongpao, "What did you say just now?"

Ruian was wearing a black suit and a black cone hat. Hearing this, he looked up tremblingly at Master Xie, whose hair was gray and his hair was grey, and said, "When I return to my father-in-law, the imperial concubine said... He said that the Imperial Heaven Prison was full of confidants who were only loyal to His Majesty the Emperor... It was really impossible..."

"Bang--" Xie Wantiao suddenly threw out the teacup in his hand and fell into pieces in front of Ruian.

Seeing that the hunting in Fanglin was over, the complaint of the disaster in Jiangnan was about to be handed over. At this critical moment, what is needed most is a "auspiciousness".

The Great Yan Dynasty worshipped Taoism and believed in Buddhism, and Emperor Cheng'an was even more obsessed with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. Whether this "auspiciousness" can be arranged to win the joy of the dragon and the face, it is related to the official career and wealth and life of the entire Jiangnan Road officials.

"As long as you are willing to think about it, there will be a way."

Xie Wantiao smiled slightly, "I'm afraid that the imperial concubine will not think about it, so I will use all my heart to deal with my father and husband!"

Ruian was shocked, "Don't rest ashamed! Empress... Empress has no intention!"

Xie Wantiao wiped the water stains on his hands with a brocade and said slowly: "Why don't you go back and ask the concubine a word."

"Who rescued a woman who was almost dying from a passenger ship loaded with thin horses in Yangzhou on the Qinhuai River? Who sent her to the mansion of the minister-general Wang Jingfu to take her as an adopted daughter. Once she was sent to the saint, she enjoyed her glory for seven years."

"I, Xie, can turn my hands into clouds, and turn my hands into rain.

If Concubine Yin forgets everything, I don’t mind reminding the Empress.”

The eldest wife of Xie's family in Chen County had two daughters, one became the current queen of the central palace and the other became the legitimate wife of Wang Jingfu, the governor of the current dynasty.

Twenty-two years ago, the former emperor passed away and Emperor Cheng'an ascended the throne.

At the throne ceremony, Emperor Cheng'an personally named the princess Xie's legitimate daughter when Qiandi was the queen of the central palace.

Since then, Xie Wantiao has become the father-in-law of the country, and the Xie family has become a veritable royal relative.

However, the good times did not last long. As the prince grew up day by day, Empress Xie, who was virtuous and virtuous, was introverted and calm, was no longer as beautiful as she served Emperor Cheng'an. Year after year, she was also a little helpless when serving Emperor Cheng'an.

As the saying goes, "A snake swallows an elephant if it is not enough."

In order to stabilize the status of the royal relatives and regain the favor of the emperor, the Xie family actually came up with a plan to "steal the dragon and exchange the phoenix".

In the fifteenth year of Cheng'an, Yin, the cousin of the Wang Jingfu family, came to Beijing. It is said that this girl's national beauty is so beautiful that she is famous in the capital.

That year, he made an exception and was selected as the selected women. In the hall of the draft, he was personally elected by Emperor Cheng'an to the harem.

Since then, Yin has been kind to the palace, and the emperor's favor has never stopped. Even the Wang family, who sent him into the palace, has risen all the way.

Outsiders think that Concubine Yin is the biggest threat to Empress Xie's status as the central palace, but they don't know that behind the two empresses is the same Xie family.

There are many different things in the world, and what happens around the people of Shengjing City is often more impressive than the legends in the book. Who would have expected that Concubine Yin was just a small Yangzhou thin horse back then?

As soon as these words came out, Ruian, who was kneeling down on his lower head, turned pale and his forehead was immediately filled with garlic, "My father-in-law atones for sin! It was the Empress who was confused for a moment, it was the Empress who was confused for a moment!"

Xie Wantiao slowly stood up, with a faint smile on his elegant face, "You servant, are so ridiculous."

"That's Concubine Yin, who is above and below ten thousand people in the harem, you a little slave, dare you say that your master is wrong. It's really - what's the virtue?"

After hearing this, Ruian felt a chill spread from his spine to his neck, and he kowtowed, until his forehead was broken and he still didn't realize it.

It turned out that the ancestors of Ruian, three or four generations, worked in the Xie Mansion, and turned out to be the servant of the Xie family.

Therefore, Xie Wantiao was relieved to ask him to go to the palace with Concubine Yin. On the surface was the father-in-chief in the palace, but in secret, he was indeed a chess piece next to Yin.

There are old mothers and fathers in Ruian, and two younger siblings over ten years old, so they are naturally obedient. The master told him to go east, but he dared not go west. Over the years, he naturally did not dare to be arrogant in front of Xie Wanting.

Xie Wantiao slowly walked beside him, "Master Ruian, since you have left this Xie Mansion, will your surname be 'Xie' or 'Yin' in the future be 'I have to think about it carefully."

Ruian knocked on the ground with another sound: "I was born with Xie, so I will naturally be the last one for my life!"

Xie Wantiao stared at Ruian who was kneeling on the ground with interest for a while, and finally waved his hand, "Take this eunuch out and knock it out, don't mess up the land in the mansion."

...

After the Fanglin hunting ended, people sent people from the palace to send all the preys hunted by each prey to the mansion.

In the mansion of Pingyang Marquis, Gu Xiyan frowned at the hill-like prey and stared at it for a long time, leaving only a few mild and nourishing sika deer and rabbits. The rest of the prey were sent to the mansion of relatives and friends.

Looking at the two robes left and a few hares, Gu Xiyan ordered Hong Fei, "I heard that Mrs. Shen was pregnant a few days ago, so why not send these to Shen's mansion, which is a little bit of ambition."

Hong Fei responded to "yes", and immediately ordered the maids and women in the kitchen to handle the roe deer and hares and send them to Shen's mansion before dark.

Next to the Marquis of Pingyang Mansion is the mansion of the counselor Shen Jie.

Lord Shen has always been honest and honest. Few people in the civil servant team are close to him, and most of the military officer team are not familiar with him, so this person has very few friends in the court.

Even though Pingyang Hou Mansion and Shen Mansion are only separated by a wall, the two families have no contact.

Therefore, yesterday Xiao Rang returned home injured, and Lord Shen actually came to visit him with his wife, which really surprised Gu Xiyan.

Mrs. Chen’s legitimate wife, Mrs. Chen, is a kind and polite woman. During this period, Mrs. Chen and Gu Xiyan accidentally met at the gate of the mansion several times, and each time they saluted her with a smile on their faces.

Mrs. Chen looks gentle and gentle, and at first glance she looks like a cute little girl.

Seeing that Mrs. Chen was kind, Mrs. Shen was honest and honest but not without integrity, so he was naturally willing to make friends with the Shen family.

However, Gu Xiyanzai carefully recalled her previous life. Perhaps she was busy with Xiao Rang at that time, and she didn't remember any outstanding deeds of Lord Shen, and she didn't know who she used for in the end and what fate was.

...

Ningyuan main room.

Seeing that the weather is winter and the night is coming early, the cold will soak the body if you are not careful. Xiao Rang is hurt again, so you need to avoid eating food.

Therefore, during dinner, the kitchenette uses more than ten ingredients to make nourishing pots, which can also be used to drive away the cold air in the body.
