Chapter 124 Finally I can deal with this annoying old lady!
The old lady was so angry that she gasped and banged the ground with her cane.
"Where are the guards? Take down this disrespectful villain!"
The guards brought by the old lady moved upon hearing the sound.
Chu Hanxiao protected Xie Qinghuan.
She pulled my sleeve and whispered:
"Chu Hanxiao, have you forgotten the punishment from last time? You can't do anything... go to Yuanxiangyuan to find your aunt!"
How could Chu Hanxiao leave her alone and let her be bullied by the old witch!
Never take a step back.
Just when the stalemate was about to begin, a loud laugh came from outside the door.
"Grandma, what the hell is going on?"
Xie Qinghuan's eyes lit up.
Brother is back!
When the old lady saw Xie Tingzhou, whose smile did not reach his eyes...
For some reason, he lowered his head as if feeling guilty.
"Tingzhou, why did you come back so early today?"
Xie Tingzhou smiled but did not smile, and bowed slightly as a greeting.
"Yes, His Majesty, in consideration of my poor health, has allowed me to return early."
Xie Qinghuan knows...
Dongzhou suffered a series of defeats. As the brother of the Minister of War, he must have been very busy these days.
If he hadn't been infected with the cold poison, his body would have been really weak.
I guess I have to be like my second brother...
I stayed in the palace and worked hard day and night.
The old lady heard this.
Smile awkwardly.
"In that case, you should go back and rest quickly..."
"Thank you for your understanding, Qinghuan... let's go, ahem..."
Xie Tingzhou nodded to the old lady.
He glanced at Sherin with warning.
He opened his cloak and wrapped Xie Qinghuan in it.
Perhaps it was because Xie Tingzhou had broad shoulders, the cloak he held up was also extremely large.
After Xie Qinghuan shrank back, he was just like when he was a child...
It's like being invisible, there's no flaw at all!
If she hadn't stuck her head out in an annoying way and stuck out her tongue at Xie Lin.
I really couldn't tell that there was a person hiding under the cloak!
Seeing her smug, Xie Ling waved his fist reluctantly.
Pulling the old lady's sleeve, complaining:
"Grandma, why don't you help me vent my anger? You said you would punish her..."
"Hey! Be quiet! When you are out in the future, keep your mouth shut!
Otherwise...sooner or later it will harm your father!"
Xie Ling stamped his feet in dissatisfaction.
He turned around, went out and went home.
Here, Xie Qinghuan followed Xie Tingzhou back to the yard.
Coming out of the cloak, she couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, why does the old lady look so afraid of you?"
Xie Tingzhou smiled faintly, as if thinking about something.
"I have the leverage over her."
"The handle? What handle?"
Xie Qinghuan recalled what he had investigated in Yangzhou before and asked:
"Has the matter in Yangzhou come to a conclusion?"
"Well, yes."
Xie Qinghuan was extremely excited.
"How can I say that? Is Dad her biological son?"
Seeing her anxious look, Xie Tingzhou smiled indulgently.
I caught a glimpse of the maid coming towards me.
He raised his index finger and gently covered his lips.
Signal to be silent.
Then he whispered:
"Wait a little longer, at most two days... we'll know."
"it is good!"
Xie Qing stood on tiptoe with joy.
Finally I can deal with this annoying old lady!
Hopefully, this is the result she expected...
After seeing Qianyun serving hot tea, she took Xie Tingzhou's cloak and went back into the house.
She couldn't help gossiping again:
"Brother, why haven't you touched Qianyun?"
"Ahem...what?"
Xie Tingzhou almost choked on the hot tea.
Yu Shu, who was following behind him, also shrank his neck.
miss...
It really is……
Well, strong!
Just as Xie Qinghuan was about to ask again, Chu Hanxiao covered her mouth and carried her back into the house.
"Hey, can you tell me what's going on?"
Xie Qinghuan held Chu Hanxiao's big hand and frowned slightly.
Full of displeasure.
[Don’t ask.]
Chu Hanxiao felt helpless.
I wonder what this little girl is thinking about all day long.
After having dinner with Xie Tingzhou, Xie Qinghuan returned to Yueqiong Garden to rest.
Chu Hanxiao continued to keep vigil as usual.
He was leaning on the porch, reading a book in the moonlight.
But I heard Yutong report...
"Guard Chu, there's news from Lanxing Court that the young master has been summoned to the palace overnight."
what?
Chu Hanxiao sat up suddenly.
A little uneasy.
Entering the palace at night...
Why?
He hesitated for a moment, then quietly saw that Xie Qinghuan had fallen asleep, so he did not disturb her.
He told Yuluo:
[If the lady is looking for me, tell her I'm at Lanxingyuan. ]
"Yes."
Go to Lanxingyuan to find out the news.
Perhaps Xie Tingzhou knew that Xie Qinghuan would be worried, so he only brought Yu Shu with him when he entered the palace this time.
The jade chess pieces were left behind.
Tell Chu Hanxiao:
"It seems like... there's news coming from Dongzhou, uncle, another city has been lost..."
Chu Hanxiao was worried, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought it was Xie Ling's nonsense on the street that reached the palace...
That would inevitably implicate Xie Qinghuan.
Come back to Yueqiongyuan.
He told Xie Qinghuan the news the next morning when she woke up.
[Dongzhou lost consecutive games, your brother went to the palace last night. ]
"Failed again?"
Xie Qinghuan sighed, sat down beside the dressing table, and stroked the comb.
Calculate the time.
"It should be the news about the city defense map, which has not yet been delivered to Dongzhou."
【Um. 】
She handed the comb to Yuzhu and asked her to do her makeup.
After finishing dressing, Yutong also reported that her brother had returned.
She hurried over to Lanxingyuan.
My brother has a cold poison in his body, and he works hard day and night...
I don’t know if his body can handle it.
When I arrived with Chu Hanxiao, I found out that Xie Zhiqiu was also there.
Still discussing court matters with him.
Xie Qinghuan felt heartbroken when she saw the dark circles under Xie Tingzhou's eyes.
Without caring whether they had finished discussing the business or not, he pushed Xie Zhiqiu out.
"Okay, Daddy, let brother get some sleep. There's still poison in his body!"
"Oh... this child."
Although Xie Zhiqiu was smiling and annoyed, he was relieved in his heart.
Qinghuan has really grown up.
Everyone knows that she feels sorry for her brother!
but……
Thinking of the poison in Tingzhou's body, he felt worried again.
Although Qinghuan said she could cure it, she is still a child after all!
The poison that the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital were helpless against...
Can Qinghuan really be solved?
Ugh……
He shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back.
It has only been a few days since Xie Tingzhou returned.
But I felt that Xie Zhiqiu's back was about to collapse, and his hair had turned a lot whiter...
Xie Qinghuan drove Xie Zhiqiu away and closed the gate.
With his hands on his waist, he ordered Yu Shu sternly:
"Yushu, keep an eye on this door. No one is allowed in to disturb my brother's rest today!"
Yu Shu hesitated and glanced at Xie Tingzhou secretly.
Seeing him nodded with a smile in his eyes.
Only then did he lean over and say yes.
Xie Qinghuan watched Xie Tingzhou drink the medicine and watched him fall asleep peacefully before retreating to the yard.
With Chu Hanxiao, he sat on the stone table beside the pond in the courtyard.
Be on guard against death.
Be cruel.
Even if the sky falls today, I will wait until my brother has had a good rest before letting him go out!
I don't know...
Before the morning was over, Yuqi was like a stupid dog whose feet had been burned, begging Xie Qinghuan to let him in.
"Miss, it's really urgent!"
"That won't work! No one can disturb my brother, not even you!"
"Miss, if you don't ask me to deliver this message, I'm afraid my head will be moved today!"
Yuqi said this while kneeling on the ground.
Look up and pray.
Xie Qinghuan folded his arms:
"Tell me first. If it's really urgent, I will let you in..."
"……Yes."
Yuqi hesitated for a moment, thinking that the eldest lady was not an outsider.
The master would not hide this from her.
Then he told everything...
