Su Qingluan was so angry partly because of Mu Xingzhi, but partly because of his own experience.
In her early years, she herself grew up in an orphanage. Children in orphanages were abandoned for all kinds of reasons, and of course there were some particularly weird ones.
But many times, although we cannot understand it emotionally, we can at least understand it rationally. People in this world have more or less selfish sides. Sometimes, even as parents, they may put themselves before their children. In front of us, not all parents love their children selflessly.
However, Su Qingluan has believed since she was a child that loving and raising children "because of the blood relationship and because they can take care of them until they die" is considered a "condition" until she met her adoptive parents, the master's wife.
Although from a utilitarian point of view, they also wanted to have spiritual sustenance as they grew older, but the love they gave her was not fake. It was precisely because of his master and wife that Su Qingluan did not become so extreme. After falling ill, The help she received made her understand that everyone in this world has a bright side.
Looking back at the parents who abandoned their children, she still didn't understand, but in the children's ward of the hospital she saw many parents whose children were sick, anxious and in pain, and she felt a little relieved.
But Mu Xingzhi's emperor and scumbag father is really outrageous. No matter what the reason is, Mu Xingzhi's outstanding abilities exist objectively. Such a child, even if it is purely from the perspective of profit, should not be so cruelly plotted. What's more, the rumor among the people is that the emperor was afraid that this child would conflict with himself.
In the beginning, Su Qingluan came here just for fun, but in recent years, as the old emperor's health deteriorated, the things he summoned those "masters" and "half-immortals" to do became more and more outrageous.
These outrageous things include but are not limited to using his entire collection to recruit boys and girls to "make medicine guides" for him - of course Su Qingluan does not believe that making medicine guides is an easy job; exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are already very serious among the people. Under such circumstances, they have to impose excessive taxes to build magnificent temples and Taoist temples for the masters, and even have an inexplicable "Tower of Babel", which you can tell is not a serious thing; what's even more outrageous is that they often use outrageous words such as "mutual restraint" Removing officials for cause…
What? Why would a commoner like her know this? Of course, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't think there is anything wrong with him, so he said it in such a big way!
In fact, Su Qingluan was very suspicious that if the emperor was so outrageous, why a large-scale peasant uprising had not yet broken out. However, she recalled that during the previous lunar eclipse, the whole village was trembling with fear as if facing a powerful enemy, and she also knew that for a considerable number of people, the ideological stamp of "the emperor is ordered by the sky" is still firmly fixed in their minds. in the mind.
Although she didn't know what Mu Xingzhi was doing, as long as Su Qingluan knew that the old emperor would not live long, she felt very happy - after all, regardless of the virtues of the next monarch, the one currently on the throne was quite It's not reliable, it's best to get out and die.
Thinking about it this way, she became even more interested in playing the role of a "patient's family member".
A few days later, another news gradually spread in Qingzhou City: the seventh prince Xiao Huan was weak and could not bear the heat, but he was thinking about his father's noble body, so he wanted to go to a temple near Qingzhou to pray for his father. God, during this period I will be a vegetarian and never slack off in copying scriptures.
Su Qingluan understood the subtext here: I am afraid that within this period of time, his group will be settled in the capital of Jingzhou. At the same time, on the day when the seventh prince Xiao Huan leaves for Beijing, basically It’s time for Mu Xingzhi’s “bizarre disappearance”.
At this time, Mu Xingzhi was able to spread the news that "the seventh prince prayed for the emperor", which probably meant that the group was about to continue on their way - after all, the premise of "purifying and praying" was "meditation".
Since he needs to meditate, he should not be disturbed by too many worldly affairs every day. After isolating most outsiders, Su Qingluan believes that Mu Xingzhi can definitely escape the golden cicada with his own ability.
Sure enough, on the third day after "The Seventh Prince went to pray for blessings", Mu Xingzhi appeared in the room without anyone noticing, replacing the quilts and pillows that had been placed in humanoid shapes, and also asked those who lifted the quilt to Su Qingluan was startled.
"When did you come back?" Su Qingluan looked like he had seen a ghost. "You came here so early in the morning that you changed into a living person. Are you afraid that I won't scare you so much that your heart will fall off?"
"What kind of disease is heart failure?" Su Qingluan raised her eyebrows with a smile.
"..." Su Qingluan paused and said angrily, "It's just a metaphor, I just feel like my heart is going to be scared away by you!"
What's more, because of the flood outside yesterday, Su Qingluan was very worried about Mu Xingzhi's affairs. He was basically worried and didn't fall asleep all night. Now he looked haggard without pretending.
Fortunately, the fire outside was not that big. Su Qingluan just went to inquire around when buying breakfast one morning. Someone accidentally ignited the straw mat when using a fire stick to illuminate it.
Fortunately, because there was a water tank nearby, the fire was quickly put out, but it only made Su Qingluan worry in vain.
After Mu Xingzhi comes back, Su Qingluan's "husband" will naturally recover. So when Mu Xingzhi left the room in a wheelchair, all the shopkeepers and waiters he met said with envy: "Although this gentleman is in poor health, his wife is always around to take care of him. He is really envious of others."
Whenever he heard similar words, Mu Xingzhi would smile with a gentle smile, take Su Qingluan's hand and put it in his own, saying, "I naturally know that if you marry a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!"
Then there was the good-natured laughter from the people around.
Although Su Qingluan knew rationally that the other party was just acting, he was held in the palm of his hand by the warm fingertips, and in front of so many people, he said slowly in a particularly gentle voice, "Marrying a wife is like this, and a husband is like this." What do you want?" She couldn't help but blush.
Su Qingluan, you need to calm down! She desperately sounded the alarm for herself in her heart: They are just working! Work! It’s to maintain the personality! The reason why people look at you so affectionately is because they are highly proficient in their business! Maybe he has seen many girls like this!
Then another voice raised its head with caution: If Mu Xingzhi had really spoken like this to someone around him in the past few years, would those little ladies still be just "nymphomaniacs"? Do you really not agree to marry me on the spot?
The previous voice rudely gave the second voice a hard fight: You are stupid! Others don’t have such use value as you! You are in a cooperative relationship, you just get what you need, don’t be dazzled by this smile!
At this time, although Mu Xingzhi probably didn't know the crazy barrage in her heart, he added to the chaos and asked in a very gentle voice: "Qingluan looks bad, is it too much?" You’re tired, do you want to take a rest?”
